ZODIAC LIGHT of 10 000 m3 (10ZL)

Photo 10ZL

A 10ZL flight train

Description
  • Maximum load: 125 kg

  • Flight profile: 1:20 h ascent to 30 km, 2-3 h at float, descent below parachute, recovery by helicopter of Brazilian Air Force

  • Light two-channel telemetry (on-board storage of most scientific data).

  • Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, GPS 3D location

  • Up to 5-6 independent instruments

Use during HIBISCUS

Short duration 10ZL balloons will provide in situ measurements of tropospheric and stratospheric vertical profiles of:

  • Tracers (DIRAC GC)

  • Clouds and aerosols (LABS backscatter diode laser)

  • UV-radiation (CUBE)

They will provide remote measurement of:

  • O3, NO2, H2O, BrO, O4 and atmospheric extinction profiles (SAOZ UV-Vis spectrometer)
