From the article: Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have, by now, spent almost two years on the surface of Mars. They traveled several miles each, frequently stopping and analyzing scientific targets with their cameras, spectrometers and other instruments to uncover evidence of liquid water on Mars in the past. Their mission is a smashing success for NASA. Read the full article here: […]
From the article: Balloons outfitted with innovative steering devices and robot probes could be the future of planetary exploration. Dr. Alexey Pankine, a fellow at the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC), presented an analysis of balloon applications for planetary science at the World Space Congress in Houston, Texas last month. His study, entitled Directed Aerial Robot Explorers or DARE, is funded by NIAC. […]
From the article: Getting spacecraft traveling at hypersonic speeds to slow down and land or achieve a particular orbit on a dime is no easy feat. But researchers are developing a tool that will let engineers model and ultimately build advanced flight control systems that meld balloon and parachute technologies known as a ballute (BALLoon-parachUTE). Basically a ballute is […]
From the article: We all now what hotels and motels are, but did you ever think of spending some time in an Astrotel? For the generations to come, it will still be a rather breathtaking experience to travel to such a spaceport, and probably the number of people who will stay there on their way to Mars will be limited. But, according to GAC, Global Aerospace Corporation, Astrotels may very well become frequently used […]

NASA investigates using a wing to steer the next generation of planetary balloon probes through alien atmospheres. Access the illustration here:
From the article: NASA contractor Global Aerospace recently developed a hybrid satellite-balloon. The contraption, dubbed the StratoSail, was originally conceived as a way to control the paths of weather balloons floating at the edge of space. Yet this match made in the heavens might be headed for a very real hell: the nightmarish atmosphere of Venus. Global Aerospace’s Dr. Alexey Pankine […]
From the article: Remote-controlled balloons carrying armies of minirobots could be filling Mars’ skies if a project by Californian scientists takes off. NASA-funded researchers are developing the StratoSail, a balloon with a wing, that can be accurately steered through Mars’ winds for months. Like weather balloons, the StratoSail could carry cameras and gadgets to spot potential areas for human missions. Read the full article here: MORE ABOUT PLANETARY BALLOONS […]
From the article: A Californian company, Global Aerospace Corporation (GAC), is developing remote-controlled balloons for the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC). BBC News Online reports in this article that their goal is to send these balloons carrying robots and cameras to explore Mars skies. But it’s not for a near term future. Read the […]
From the article: An engineering company has developed a system that may offer some control over NASA’s high-altitude weather balloons. The control device, called StratoSail, consists of a spar from which an 8-foot rudder and an 18-foot wing hang. The developer, Global Aerospace Corp. of Altadena, Calif., has tested a miniature version from a tethered blimp. The company’s president, Kerry Nock, said […]
