Preparation of high altitude balloons include a variety of procedures. Let's start with the materials required.
Important to predict the jet streams at the time of launch as .if jet streams happens to be directly over the site , the payload could Travel upto 75 miles from the starting point. If there isn't a jet stream , the payload could land within 20 miles from the launch site.
A small parachute is tied to the HAB using a stratospheric flight line and is in turn tied to the payload to hoist it up.
Polyethylene or latex can be used to make the HAB.
Helium is preffered over hydrogen to fill the balloon as Hydrogen is highly flammable.A helium tank is used to store Helium.
Cameras are attached to the flight line to record the surroundings
Trackers can be used in accordance to the purpose of usage
1. Make sure the balloon ( regardless of the type) is filled at the top half from the ground as it gains volume as the balloon travels up.
2. Insulation of payload is not necessary.
3. A foam box is to be placed in the payload to absorb shock
4. Select an open space to launch the balloon
5. Make sure that quantity of helium is sufficient enough .
6. Cameras can be attached to the flight line to record the surroundings
