“…Regarding the horizontal wind speed, V , shown in Figure 8 , the results show quite large values beyond the tropopause (located at around 12 km altitude), according to the data and the wind description from [ 33 , 47 , 48 ]. The 3-min (3-min.…”

This paper shows wind speed measurements from the TASEC-Lab experiment in a stratospheric balloon mission. The mission was launched in July 2021 from León (Spain) aerodrome. Measurements of horizontal wind speed in relation to the balloon gondola were successfully carried out with a cup anemometer. According to the available literature, this is the first time a cup anemometer has been used in a stratospheric balloon mission. The results indicate the need to consider the horizontal wind speed from the balloon ascent phase for thermal calculations of the mission.

“…This constant rotation rate is approximately confirmed by the frequency graph. However, this variable shows a great scatter, indicating quite large variations of the rotation rate caused by turbulence or oscillations of the gondola [ 33 , 47 , 48 ].…”

“…To the authors' knowledge and based on the available literature, there seems to be a lack regarding published works on power subsystem simulations of stratospheric balloon missions. Nevertheless, some information can be found related to the performances of batteries and DC-DC converters in these missions [10][11][12][13][14].…”
