SP -- NOV 12 SECOND ULTRA LONG DURATION BALLOONING TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP November 12, 1998 Second Ultra Long Duration Ballooning (ULDB) Technology Workshop, Greenbelt, Maryland. ULDB is an extremely promising new approach to provide very low cost access to space. To fully exploit the potential of this concept, new technology is required for support systems such as trajectory control, recovery, and instrument pointing. This workshop will present these new requirements and summarize opportunities in the NASA technology development programs to seek funding. Goddard Space Flight Center is developing a technology roadmap for the ULDB program which will summarize currently available technology and outline NASA technology development programs that are in progress. Crosscutting and related NASA technology development programs will also be summarized. The goal of this workshop is to encourage potential innovators with new ideas to propose balloon technology that will greatly enhance science opportunities in space.
