Implementation of Solar Tracking Onboard a High-Altitude Balloon Platform
The HELIOS program is a series of four solar tracking missions with the goal to demonstrate the feasibility of solar tracking on a high altitude balloon platform while maintaining a low mission cost. For this purpose, a tracking system was developed that could be accurate, simple, and cost efficient. This paper documents the tracking system utilized by HELIOS III and IV both physically and algo...
متن کاملThe Potential for Solar Tracking and Observation On-board a High-Altitude Balloon Platform
Currently, the majority of solar observation is performed using ground-based and orbital telescopes, both of which have major limitations. Ground observations are subject to interference from the atmosphere, reducing the quality of solar images and the scientific data that can be collected from them. Orbiting observatories are very expensive, limiting the quantity of such missions and, by exten...

متن کاملOrbital evolution of high-altitude balloon satellites
We investigate the motion of artificial satellites with large area-to-mass ratios in high-altitude low inclined orbits, perturbed simultaneously by solar radiation pressure andEarth’s oblateness. Our study is based on recent theoretical advances in circumplanetary dust dynamics (Hamilton & Krivov 1996). Applying these methods to the motion of balloon satellites, we write down and analyze the or...
متن کاملSum-Rate Analysis for High Altitude Platform (HAP) Drones with Tethered Balloon Relay
High altitude platform (HAP) drones can provide broadband wireless connectivity to ground users in rural areas by establishing line-of-sight (LoS) links and exploiting effective beamforming techniques. However, at high altitudes, acquiring the channel state information (CSI) for HAPs, which is a key component to perform beamforming, is challenging. In this paper, by exploiting an interference a...
