captive balloon ascents Explanation: Fesselaufstieg, m. ascent of a captive balloon http://www.archive.org/stream/ascientificgerm00unkngoog/asci... captive balloon ascent http://www.ssplprints.com/image.php?imgref=10410928 Why is it called a 'captive' balloon? The balloon is connected via a cable to a winch system installed below ground level, effectively mooring the craft. For control of ascents and descents, the mooring winch is remote-controlled by the operator aboard the gondola. http://www.cameronballoons.com/captive.html |
