anchor balloon[edit | edit source]
A super-pressure balloon suspended below a zero-pressure balloon to permit the zero-pressure balloon to survive night-time cooling without the expenditure of ballast and daytime warming without release of lifting gas.
The lift decreases during ascent and decreases during descent, providing stability to the zero- pressure balloon.
