The Mars robotic sample return mission has been a potential flagship mission for NASA's science mission directorate for decades. The Mars Exploration Program and the planetary science decadal survey have highlighted both the science return of the Mars Sample Return mission, but also the need for risk reduction through technology development. One of the critical elements of the MSR mission is the Mars...
Prediction of the flight performance of a scientific balloon is dependent on the radiative properties of the balloon. To determine its optical properties for use in performance calculations, the balloon must be viewed as a composite structure. Determination of the balloon's effective radiative properties takes into account the shape, the orientation to radiative sources, and the construction of...
