Campagna Artica 2014 Olimpo, (profili di volo, zavorra e traiettorie)
Cardillo A., Musso I., Lombardi A.
ASI has devoted the Arctic campaign 2014 of the stratospheric balloons to the Olimpo mission for studying cosmic microwave background and early galaxies, (PI Silvia Masi, Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Roma "La Sapienza"). The launch has to take place from the ASI base 'Nobile / Amundsen' in Longyearbyen (Svalbard) and the circumnavigation of the North Pole, along the launch meridian, will last about 15 days. ISTI, ALTEC and Politecnico di Torino, (Dipartimento ingegneria Aerospaziale), support the flight dynamic of the mission. This document shows the results of the pre-launch operational activities, requiring the analysis of the ascent phase and of the floating phase, the definition of the on-board ballast and the flight predictions.

The SURECA BIT-10 Long Duration Balloon mission: A successful qualification test for a new Iridium® telemetry
Spoto D., Auricchio N., Boen K., Calandrino A., Cardillo A., Caroli E., Cortiglioni S., Ibba R., Marchini L., Orzelli A., Ronchi E., Zappettini A.
On June 17,h 2010 at 20:30 (UTC) a Long Duration Balloon has been launched from the Nobile Amundsen base (76° 31' 26.0" N 84° 30' 55.4" W, Svalbard Islands) carrying on board the most recent Iridium® telemetry module built by an Italian factory in collaboration with an Italian research institute. The payload landed successfully on June 20th 2010 at 21:00 58 (UTC), 76° 30' 44.2" N 84° 40' 31.1" W, about 280 m a.s.l. The Bi-directional Iridium Telemetry (BIT) represents the last application of a prototype module (MSITel) whose development began years ago. A small CZT detector has been used to allow full testing of the scientific input channel. The BIT telemetry provided a true real time control and monitoring of the whole payloads through a full duplex Iridium link, all over the flight, including the ballast release and the flight termination. This BIT unit was able even to take pictures using two onboard webcams that were packed and sent to ground in low resolution mode. All the data has been stored into on board memory sticks and recovered for complete post flight data analysis. The SURECA BIT-10 mission, that once again has demonstrated the capabilities and the reliability of the MSITel module, has accomplished thanks to the joint effort of the Italian Space Agency and the Andoya Rocket Range that made feasible Long Duration Balloon flights from Northern Polar Region.Source: ESA SP-700 - 20th ESA Symposium on European Rocket and Balloon Programmes and related Research, pp. 313–319, Hyère, France, 22-26 May 2011

Transmediterranean balloon flights: Lessons learned and perspectives
Caballero F., Spoto D., Ibba R., Del Barrio L., Amaro F., Sabau M. D., Cardillo A., Musso I.
Transmediterranean balloon flights are made with zero-pressure stratospheric vehicles, that contain scientific experiments on board. The balloons are released during summer in Sicily, Italy. Eastern stratospheric seasonal winds transport them over the Mediterranean and the flight termination by telecommand and recovery is accomplished in Spain. The paper addresses a thorough description of the program, which was initially conceived to extend the flight time over the existing national options (Air-sur-l'Adour, Gap Taillard, Trapani, Leo´ n), considers several flight support subsystems and gives hints for their future improvement, though the main focus is on the balloon operations.Source: Advances in space research 45 (2010): 498–506. doi:10.1016/j.asr.2009.11.003
