Chinsese Research Paper on High Altitude Balloon Observation Platform

 

Published in 2020 for the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this paper goes into experiments and observation techniques performed with High Altitude Balloons.

 

Here is an excerpt on the advantages a High Altitude Balloon has compared to aircraft and satellites:

>The traditional aircraft can hardly fly up to the near-space, and the satellites in space are not easy to detect down the near-space [3]. Therefore, near space is a new research hotspot that worth more observation and detection. A high-altitude balloon is one of the near-space exploration vehicles, and it has many advantages [4]. First of all, a high-altitude balloon can achieve low-cost sustained flight for months or even years. Compared with other air vehicles, the high-altitude balloon has long endurance time, which can achieve sustained and wider coverage for regional observation and detection [5,6,7]. Secondly, compared with satellite, a high-altitude balloon can take more and heavier loads, and increase the observation accuracy and range, for example, the spatial resolution and the signal strength of the optical observation load in near space can be increased greatly [8]. Thirdly, the payloads in the near space with high altitude balloons can be recycled with low cost and low risk, which is difficult to achieve by satellites.

 

The size of the balloon they were using in these experiments is about three busses in size, just as the spy balloon was.

>The high-altitude balloon used in the experiment was a zero-pressure balloon with a volume of 20,000 m3, the overall capacity was 325 Kg, and the payload capacity was 205 Kg.

 

Could be an early prototype of what we saw flying over CONUS

I believe I have a pretty reasonable understanding of the constitution, I even believe I have better understanding than most.

But I never read the part about the Military being under an obligation to act outside the orders of the Commander in Chief. Perhaps I'm wrong, I was hoping you would tell me since you claimed: "it's in the constitution."

I'm not trying to play devil's advocate.

It's just, I see people throw around treason and military rule so easily around here, only supported by feelings

Legally speaking, no one is committing treason. Legally speaking there is no provision in the constitution for military intervention.

It sucks. I know. But if congress writes a law that the FBI can shove a boot up your ass, constitutionally the FBI is protected.

If Joe Biden gives the nuclear codes to China, and China has not been declared by a Congressional Act of War an Enemy, Joe Biden didn't commit treason.

In the spirit of all that is right, the national security state is wrong. Legally, they are just acting under the jurisdiction that congress gave them.

In the spirit of all that is right Biden is a traitor, legally speaking China is not an enemy.

People often fail to realize, constitutionally they have no right to vote for the president of the united states, so arguments that they were disenfranchised by having their presidential vote stolen would die faster than a fart in a hurricane when presented to the judicial branch of this country.

I have pet peeves, end rant
