ABSTRACT:
A mooring system for controlling an aerostat. The mooring system can be easily aligned with the prevailing wind direction while the aerostat is flying or when moored. The mooring system can either be a fixed, permanent ground installation or a mobile installation. All winches required to control the aerostat during flight and to secure the aerostat to the mooring system are powered from the same source. A nose receptacle is included as part of the mooring system to allow the aerostat to carry a heavier payload. The mooring system includes a main winch system to control flight of the aerostat and close haul and nose line winches to aid in securing the aerostat.
