Does it make sense to have dual balloons: one smaller one designed to burst at a target altitude (eg: 100,000 feet) and the other, more durable balloon, meant to provide a very slow descent, much slower a parachute? That could extend endurance aloft to several hours.
- mdszy 7y agoThat sounds reasonable to me. Again, not sure as to the regulations around that, if you're allowed to use a balloon that doesn't burst at any point or anything. Also, realistic bursting altitude is closer to ~60,000ft for most balloons, just FYI.
