With the completion of Project STARGAZER and the success of NASA's
Project MERCURY space flights, future investigations were accomplished by
space vehicles. This signaled the end of an era of manned high altitude balloon
flight; however, these projects had indeed "bridged the gap," and manned space
flight was now safely possible.

Low Altitude Balloon Training Missions
Background. In April1958, Col. John P. Stapp, commander of the
U.S. Air Force Aero Medical Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB, appointed
a new project officer for Project ExcELSIOR, Capt. Joseph W. Kittinger, Jr..
ExcELSIOR was part of an ongoing program to examine high altitude aircraft
escape procedures and equipment. 168 Kittinger was an experienced fighter
test pilot who was the pilot of the first Air Force manned high altitude
balloon project, MAN HIGH I, in June 1957. 169 In addition to being the
