Zero-pressure balloons
text:
A zero-pressure balloon (ZP) is a style of aerostatic balloon that is unsealed at its base, creating a mechanism by which lifting gas can vent out the bottom of the balloon when the balloon becomes full, allowing the balloon to float at stable altitudes. During the day the gas heats up in the sun, and at night the gas cools causing them to descend. This limits the flight time of this type of balloon. The Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility has flown more than 1,700 scientific balloons over 40 y
