Power Systems Design for Long Duration Ballooning

Abstract

The Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) has been designing and building high-altitude balloon power systems for over 28 years. With that experience, we have found certain types of PV panels, batteries, and charge controllers that are reliable in stratospheric environments. The goal is to ensure that power systems provide power reliably throughout the duration of an Long Duration Ballooning (LDB) flight. The purpose of this presentation is to provide some general guidelines and best practices for power system design.
