ABSTRACT:
A high altitude, high pressure balloon comprised of a number of gores. The gores are made from a material and have a size, that are the results of an analysis of the anticipated stresses to which the balloon will be subjected. In particular, the gores are made from nylon and have dimensions that have been determined to result in stable creep characteristics. An alternate embodiment of the balloon uses multiple spheres.
