36” Qualatex silver “foil” balloon - used for “pico” SuperPressure flights.

These balloons have an approximate weight of 37g and a approximate internal volume of 0.1cu m before envelope stretching. This means they can lift payloads of approx. 60g (or slightly more if you allow for stretching). However experimenters typically aim for payloads of the order of 20 - 40g per balloon in order to attempt to make them float (no guarantee of that is offered).

Silver balloons are used to minimize the thermal gain effects.

Note: The manufacturer marks these balloons as not for outdoor release.
