Abstract: A balloon is provided having a balloon envelope having a top portion and a bottom portion, a payload positioned beneath the balloon envelope, a moveable plate positioned atop the balloon envelope, a line attached to the moveable plate, and a control system configured to cause the line to be pulled to cause the moveable plate to be pulled towards the bottom portion of the balloon envelope such that the top portion of the balloon envelope is moved towards the bottom portion of the balloon envelope forcing gas out of the balloon envelope such that the balloon envelope is collapsed. The balloon may further include a drag plate positioned beneath the balloon envelope that serves to slow the descent of the payload to the earth.

Abstract: A high-altitude balloon is provided that may use at least one conductive coil to facilitate attitude control of the balloon. The balloon may include an envelope, a conductive coil, and a control system. The conductive coil may be operatively coupled to the envelope, and the control system may be configured to perform functions. The functions may include determining a measure of rotation with respect to a predetermined orientation of the balloon. The functions may additionally include causing a current to be applied to the conductive coil in a manner such that torque is applied to the envelope that counteracts the measure of rotation and substantially returns the balloon to the predetermined orientation.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for turning an envelope of a balloon into a parachute. The balloon may include a payload, an envelope filled with a lift gas, and a parachute system. The parachute system may include a fuse couple to the envelope. The parachute system may also include an activation system coupled to the fuse. The activation system may be configured to ignite the fuse. The fuse may be ignitable to melt through at least a portion of the envelope to separate an upper portion of the envelope from a lower portion of the envelope. The upper portion of the envelope may be coupled to the payload such that when separated from the lower portion, the upper portion performs as a parachute for the payload.
