B-Line to Space: The Scientific Balloon Story is about NASA’s scientific balloons, which offer low-cost, near-space access for suspended payloads weighing up to 8,000 pounds. These balloons are used to conduct technology demonstration tests as well as scientific investigations in fields such as astrophysics, heliophysics and atmospheric research. Depending on the goals and objectives of a specific mission, balloon flight durations can run hours to multiple days or weeks for longer-term exposures and data collection.
NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia manages the agency’s Scientific Balloon Program with 10 to 15 flights each year from launch sites worldwide. Northrop Grumman, which operates NASA’s Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) in Texas, provides mission planning, engineering services and field operations for the program. The CSBF team has launched more than 1,700 scientific balloons in the over 35 years of operation.

Satalloons "It's [sic] one of the best kept secrets of 'space' science...."🤣
Love the fact the gondola's all seem to have wickerwork baskets underneath, I guess as a lightweight landing protection, exactly like every balloon after the Montgolfier Brothers, up to the modern age.
Can a space balloon fly horizontally and have no cord and nothing at all attach to it, just a white( non transparent ) sphere perfectly round of the size of a mini bus ?
Because i saw that thing crossing low just above a city road

At 1:45 you state that "Hess loved Hot Air Balloons" but the balloon pictured is clearly a Gas Balloon filled with either helium or hydrogen. Shortly after their invention by the Montgolfier brothers in the late 1700s, Hot Air Balloons all but disappeared from use until the 1950s when Ed Yost, the father of modern hot air ballooning, made the first tethered hot air flight in October 1955. So it is unlikely Hess would have ever seen, let alone travelled in, a modern hot air balloon.
You also attribute Hess as the "pilot of the first scientific balloon". But that title would rightly belong to Henry Coxwell who piloted the 'Mammoth' balloon in which rode scientist James Glaisher on their ascent in September 1862, some 20+ years before Hess was even born.
Serious question:
how do you explain the cohabitation of our atmosphere and the vacuum of space? We are told that the shuttles returning from space to our atmosphere must have a very precise angle so as not to bounce or crash on this border of cohabitation. However, in accordance with the laws of physics, it is the least dense gases which rise to this cohabitation boundary. How do you explain this cohabitation? what makes the least dense gases in our atmosphere stop there, that they do not go into a vacuum, and that they become solid enough to crash a shuttle??
Shut up, it’s gravity
-NASA
LOL @@Mikesworld777
There is no boundary to space, no "border of cohabitation". Have you never noticed, that the air becomes thinner when you go higher? Before GPS altimeters worked only by measuring the air pressure.
sea level: 1013 hPa
1 km: 891 hPa
5 km: 533 hPa
10 km: 281 hPa
20 km: 78 hPa
50 km: 165 Pa
100 km: 0.3 Pa
between earth and moon: 0.000000001 Pa
Far outer space: 0.000000000000001 Pa
The Space Shuttle would not have any problem if it would just slow down before going down, but it has 28000 km/h. At the end it is the relation of speed and air pressure. And yes, at the end of course gravity is the reason why the gas molecules are pulled to earth and are not spread even.

Yep and well said.

Fascinating to watch 😍. Watched it cause Americans are panicked by some Chinese balloons for past few days now 😁.

The balloon was more than likely carrying a satellite and developed a Helium leak and then came back down from the high altitude that these satellites are hanging from a weather balloon. About 20 miles above the ground. Where there is no wind. These satellites hang there for years and finally become obsolete and that's why they have to send up more satellites. All satellites are hanging from a weather balloon. Untill they lose their Helium. Then they will come back down to Earth. That Balloon we shot down was one of our satellites. Not a Chinese spy balloon
Wasn't the Chinese at all if it was we let get over here, I know for a fact because I've had the opportunity to visit Cavalier in north dakota for a few weeks for work at the air force base where the PARCS radar is stationed, they told me all about it and how it's all part of the deep space surveillance network and they told me if we ever had a so called spy drone or spy satellite in our air space it's because we deliberately let it because that and the sbx-1 can detect a baseball in the air on either side of the country 2500miles away...thats just the beginning.
Someone filmed a NASA sateloon and they had to have a good cover story. Can't have anyone figuring out flat earthers were CORRECT
chinese sattelit...
Haha Nasa... no satellite in Space... all on balloons
Truth about what?
This man talking about 3mbit like it's something to marvel at lol
@supposed speed of Earth surface rotation @ 467m/s or 1666km/h position of this balloon should be much much further. Fortunately even NASA know that speed of Earth's surface rotation are 0 km/h and reported distance are due to movements of Earth atmosphere. 👍
@MAX "Es Plana" it’s just not

@@scoobydoo313 professor Dave debunks a broken flat earth model. He is a waist of time
Can we get one to go all the way to space, past the gravity threshol, so it just floats away into space??
Nope. The atmoshpere gets too thin, the limit is about 25-30 km. Though you can use them as a launchpad, but that comes with it's own sets of problems.
No we cant. If you want to know why just look up werner vonbrans head stone and what it says on it. He left EVERYONE a message.
@@Shonicheck I looked into it a little bit after this. Apparently there are quite a few companies in the pipeline offering exactly this, 30km 'space' rides. It looks like the big offering is, 'high enough to see the curve of the Earth', whatever that means.
What I was thinking was, after they explained the balloon needing to be underfilled because the gas would expand, I thought, it should just be a matter of calibrating that ratio, and building it big enough. I mean, if the gas density is kept at equilibrium with outer gases, it seems theorhetically possible. Cz gases do escape the atmosphere, do they not? Maybe we could slip through a hole in the ozone layer, lol...
@@TheBustedNut The only sense I can make out of that is, he described himself through the singular passage that motivated his life pursuit. He gave us the motivation he found and never let go, completely encapsulating his essence as a man. ... Cz, taken literally, relative to the source, it basically says, god sits beyond the sky in the heavens, and you may not go there. But, he did, so, he's saying, 'the bible told us that place wasn't for man, but I brought us there.'
If I'm missing something please enlighten me, I see no message embedded in an explanation for why balloons can't go to space.. ... Unless, I guess, you are saying, you need a rocket and a mind like Wernehr's to get there?? lol
@@blackopal3138 Well going to the edge of the atmoshphere in the baloon is more of a practicality problem. There is a hard limit on the weight of the payload(since materials can only hold that much force, and at some point it will tear under it's own weigh, and since you need to expand quite a bit of the material to create an absolutely humongous ballon and fill it up with pretty expensive gas(helium is not exactly cheap) and then you can't even control it properly! Not to mention that it takes an absurd amount of time for it to rise to that height, and even with that you will not escape an atmoshepere. Gases escape the atmoshepere because of how they behave, aka since there is pretty much nothing stopping the molecule of that top layer that just happened to bounce of into the direction of space it will do just that if it has enough energy in that "bounce". With baloon you can't reasonably expect such flactuations carry you out into space, well you can hope for it in the same way you can hope for all air in your room to randomly concentrate in one corner of it leaving you to suffocate(which is technically IS possible, but the probability of that event is so low that it might never happen in the lifetime of the universe).
Another thing that should arise is that gases can behave weirdly in low pressures, i woudn't say that it will impede the flight, but i woudn't deny it either, you can probably build a vacuum chamber and test it out for yourself
Use regular cameras and normal lenses, don't be "afraid".
every video the "curvature" bends the opposite way
We have not yet perfected a sufficiently resistant material for the sensor and electromechanical parts of the rocket to withstand the thermospheric ring that heats up to 2700 degrees.
Always the fisheye lens . Now the Chinese balloon BS story. Maybe this will open some eyes …
@@chrisdoe6890 I'm thinking that Balloon developed a Helium leak and then came back down and then back to where there is wind and the balloon carrying a satellite drifted off and eventually got caught in the Jetstream. This means wind. If the balloon is higher than the storm clouds,. There's more than likely no wind.
@@cvikiboom2971 That's nonsense. The thermosphere has a very low density so objects flying through the thermosphere don't heat up noticeably.
Auto Windson was the name of the man who started space ballon? 🤓 This going to be a great story
We could use this to launch spacecraft from high altitdue!!
Now tell everyone that conventional satellites don’t exist.
Look up tonight. You can see satellites pass overhead.
@@h.dejong2531 I believe you’re living in a fantasy world. I can get my Nikon P1000 camera fully zoom it in at a full moon, and you see NO satellites. Now, why are the Chinese using spy balloons if satellites exist?
@@pantheraleoromanus6241 Satellites pass the moon in about 0.5 seconds, so the chance of capturing a pass without planning is small. The moon covers a tiny section of the sky, so most satellites won't pass in front of the moon.
The best way to capture satellites with a camera is to set up a long exposure. The satellites will show up as streaks. Or you can look up when a satellite will pass over your location, and zoom in on it, like Dave did recently with the ISS: ua-cam.com/video/GD-huRAnSb0/v-deo.html
The Chinese are using spy balloons in addition to satellites, because satellites have predictable orbits. Balloons are used mainly for scientific research, and on occasion, someone comes up with the bright idea of sneaking a spy balloon in. This rarely works because balloons are easily detectable by radar, so we can see them coming.
@@h.dejong2531 starlinke satellites are 36' tall 500km away and you see them with your naked eye
@@Aboard_and_Abroad Starlink sats are designed to minimize visibility once they're in final orbit, so they won't be visible to the naked eye. They are visible in photos (see all the complaints from astronomers about Starlink sats ruining their observations) and they are very visible just after launch.
If you have many of your extra large balloons, on the outside perimeter of a flat platform, you could then launch a space vehicle into space, or a training platform for astronauts, or scientists, or just passengers. Obviously they wood have to come down with parachutes, unless the payload is a spacecraft or aircraft.
That is how they see
The telescope up there
You cannot get out of earth
What do you mean with "out of earth"? A balloon leaves a ground and reaches a certain altitude. So why should it be impossible to go higher? With a rocket you can do that.
And satellites are a regular business, run by regular companies that offer services to normal customers. As a customer I don't care how the service works, as long as it works. So why lying about it? That doesn't make any sense. I can buy an Iridium phone and can make phone calls in the middle of the ocean. Why should Iridium develop such a compley lie about a satellite system, instead of telling that it works with ground based antennas or balloons? For TV I can choose betweemn antenna, cable or satellite. If there was "balloon TV", why not offiially offer it? Costumers just want to look TV; why should they care how it works? But you are aware that you can just calculate the source of the signal? When you install a satellite dish, you have to point it to a certain point at the sky, depending on your location. Now take three location and calculate the crossing point of the sightlines of the satellite dishes. You will see that it is a point about 35000 km over the equator.
Don’t listen to the shills. You are correct.
Sataloons!
What about jules verne
Bring the rocket attached to a zeppelin about 20-30 miles up in the sky. Hydrogen is abundant and even lighter than Helium. The advantage of Helium is that it doesn't “boom” if the attached rocket starts its engine up there, but the engineers could be find a way... A Starlink satellite is about 260 kg.
The largest high-altitude balloon ever built had a payload of 1000 kg. You'd be left with a payload of less than 1 kg.
When you launch stuff into orbit, the hard part is accelerating it to a speed of 8 km/s. Getting to altitude takes a tiny fraction of the total energy expended by a rocket. Launching from a balloon reduces the amount of work the rocket has to do by maybe 1%.
@@zounds010 Speed of 8 km per second? Aren't we lucky Earth is not a Super-Earth, we would never be able to place a satellite in the orbit around the planet... and Elon Musk would have been successful in other fields, including terrestrial transportation.

Helium expands in thin air,parachute.
I don't understand why you wouldn't just use these balloons to get rockets most of the way up to space then the rockets would not need very much fuel to get into orbit.
That’s what a rockoon is. I’m actually working on one currently
Theres a reason why they launch from sea level and thats because the greatest amount of atmospheric pressure is at that level, and also the reason they dont have any rocket launching facility at the top of any mountain. Atmospheric pressure is too low at the altitude these balloons climb to so any rocket would just plummet.
We live under a Firmament. Space travel is not possible. Unless 62; miles above the Earth is good enough for you. That's where planes and rockets begin to stall and fall back to Earth. It's because of the thin air. NASA will actually give you a NASA pin if you can get past 50 miles above the Earth. There's your space. Space means no flight. No manuverability. Like a fish out of water. Or a boat with the propeller missing.
@@sihop9220 you said LEVEL twice. Sea Level. Not Sea Curve. Horizon comes from the word Horizontal. These Globalists hide everything in plain sight. Then they laugh at us because most people have a Brain that's the size of a Pea and they cannot think for themselves. There's a term called Common sense. The new generation is being taught to not have any common sense.
There are no rockets going to "space" what would it propel against? It's like a motorboat in drydock trying to move with it's propeller.
this is real satellite...
Lol
Sad to see how absolutely everything is corrupted by cosmology, but I will point out that the original prediction was 50k, and 3k was only arrived at on paper after making the measurement in the sky. So it was hardly an "exact prediction". Like everything else in cosmology, it is a shell game of curve fitting and negative significance (more input than output).
Satellites
They explote also
17:45 good proof that it's flat :)

We have tons of those.
@@zounds010
No, we dont. Not one proof of a 3D sphere.
@@SunShine-kd6td We have proven Earth's shape many times in the last 2500 years.
1. The ancient Greeks were able to work out that Earth cannot be flat. They did this by observing the horizon. Ships moving away disappear over the horizon. When you look at the same ship from two places, one at sea level, the other on top of a tower or cliff, the person at sea level will see the ship disappear first. This can only happen if there is a physical obstacle between the observer and the ship. The only explanation that works is that Earth is a sphere.
2. They observed the shape of Earth's shadow during an eclipse: it's a circle segment. This happens for all lunar eclipses, no matter which part of Earth is in daylight. The only shape that produces a circular shadow in any orientation is a sphere.
3. They also observed the Sun and Moon, and noticed that their sizes do not change over the course of the day/night. This means both are very far away.
4. In 250 BC, Eratosthenes calculated the diameter of Earth, by measuring the elevation of the sun at noon in two cities a known distance apart. His value is within 2% of the currently known value.
5. When more accurate instruments became available for measuring elevation angles, we started using them for navigation, We found that those elevation angles accurately predicted where on Earth you are (latitude). This only works on a sphere.
6. Photos show Earth's curvature.
7. Our weight varies with latitude, which indicates our planet rotates.
8. Anyone can verify that the horizon is curved: ua-cam.com/video/fbyWC9cqEGo/v-deo.html
9. We can measure the curvature directly using a geodetic survey.
10. We can fly over the South Pole. ua-cam.com/video/A_mfO97NAsM/v-deo.html
11. Look at the planets, e.g. Jupiter: with a decent telescope you can see that they rotate.
12. Photos taken by satellites, like DSCOVR: ua-cam.com/video/xPM2kITNtTs/v-deo.html
13. Spherical excess: when we measure a triangle on Earth's surface, the sum of the angles is greater than 180º, which shows the triangle is not on a flat plane.
Yet not even one real picture or video not using a fisheye lens exists
Since the earth is very very flat without that one piece of equipment
This is hilarious. You fork-tonguers crack me up.
Lol. Satellites
A balloon should fly on Mars, a helicopter does so, would a balloon fly on the Moon? Does a balloon need an atmosphere? I remember one of the earliest satellite programs was call "Project Echo" and was a balloon, or rather several balloons in space. The balloons didn't last very long but they were inflated in space. A balloon on the moon might serve as a cheap and easy radio antenna, or any of a number of things done here on the Earth, except flying on the wind, but using thrusters or reaction wheels might help with that once the balloon has overcome the pull of the Moon's gravity. Just a thought.
Echo passive satellites were not floating. They were orbiting. The inflation was needed to have a large surface since they were radio reflectors.
To float a balloon you need an atmosphere that the Moon does not have. This means balloons will not float on the Moon.
On Mars, you could fly a balloon, but it won't rise too high, since the atmosphere of Mars is not dense enough. Just in comparison, it is ruffly the same as in Earth's stratosphere. The LDSD, mentioned at the end of the video is actually a Mars landing concept vehicle, which was tested in the stratosphere due to its similar properties to Mars.
In fact, balloons have already flown on an other planet, Venus. The Vega program of the Soviet Union had several spacecraft that carried a balloon and collected data from the atmosphere of Venus. It was no problem since the atmosphere of Venus is much denser than Earth's.
@@StillGraffHere why not just give u p on NASA and the Jesuit Black Pope controls the world. the Crown is London; Switzerland; Rome.. Gee; I wonder if we have any future with. this mind control. caught Covid1984 yet? peace man!!😉
While it is plausible, and it would not take much psi to fill the balloon (because the atmosphere of Mars is so thin).There have been many studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA's Wallops Flight Facility that show feasible mission designs. Solar-heated Montgolfier balloons may provide more lift for the same total system mass, but have very large altitude variations, usually touching down at night. A super-pressure helium balloon provides much better stability for long-duration missions.
And yes, a balloon needs an atmosphere. One would not work on, say, the moon.
So many cool stories here...
Nothing can fly in "space" since it's supposedly a vacuum. You can not have a vacuum without a container. And noone has even been to "space". Even Wherner von Braun admitted space was faked before he died and told his assistant, faked aliens will be the last card
All satellites are hanging from a weather balloon. Do not be Deceived. All Rockets have a RANGE just like an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and eventually come back down to Earth. That's why they turn all Rockets to a horizontal position so the rocket flys out of sight from the human eye and then the rocket runs out of fuel and plunges into the ocean
That is ridiculous nonsense.
Rockets pitch over because an orbit is a circle that runs parallel to Earth's surface. We can see satellites with the naked eye, and verify that they fly at a speed of 8 km/s, or 100 times faster than any balloon has ever been.
Space fanbois do not want to hear that truth.
@@garnet4846 That's not a truth, it's ridiculous nonsense.
@@zounds010 thank you for proving my point.
Acme industries is a paid troll or a bot
😂😂😂We have all been fooled by Nasa... no one ever got to the moon and launched a satellite rocket just for profit... just use balloons
In the last 3 years, SpaceX has launched 4500 Starlink satellites. These are visible in the night sky. With simple tools, we can measure their speed and altitude, and we find an altitude of more than 200 km and a speed of 8 km/s. Balloons can't get past 50 km altitude and 100 km/h.

In southern part of Antarctica...why else are all satellite TV dishes pointed southwards?
Thanks NASA (beguile) 🐍
All satellite dishes *in the northern hemisphere* are pointed southwards. They are aimed at a position 36,000 km above the equator, which is unreachable by balloons. I've got a satellite dish on my RV. I can drive all over the continent, and the dish will keep pointing at the same position, 36,000 km above the equator. If the dish were pointing at a balloon, I'd lose contact if I moved more than ~300 km, and I'd see the dish rotate to keep track of the moving balloon.
