"Scientific Ballooning and the Columbia Scientific Balloon
Facility" is the product of a NASA Historical Research Project on
the History of Space and Earth Sciences with oversight of the NASA
History Program Office. The work focuses on the post World War II
era and the development of stratospheric ballons capable of lofting
8,000 pounds or more of scientific instruments to altitudes in
excess of 120,000 feet for extended periods to enable the study of
Earth's atmospheric and near space environment. It is a study of
the design, engineering, the science, and the people, and of the
international cooperation that has made this critical scientific
investigation of Earth's near space environment possible.
