Flight 110: Released tram Alamogordo, New Mexico, 0649 MST, February 11, 1949
Recovered at Kershaw, South Carolina
This .flight had as its main objectives the testing of a Winzen Research
Inc ••0015", 20-foot polyethylene balloon, and further testing of the combina-
tion ballast control--displacement switch and rate-of-ascent switch. Following
the initial ascent of this flight, a slow descent resulted from loss of
lifting gas. Three hours were required for a descent of' 2000 feet to the
pressure where ballast i'low was begun. This and the general flight pattern
indicate the satisfactory nature of this Winzen Research Inc. balloon. After
ballast started,. the valve stuck and a constant flow at 1800 grams per hour
followed. The rising ceiling seen in Figure 56 is the typical flight
pattern for a balloon Whose load is being steadily decreased at a rate in
excess of the loss of buoyancy.
