The balloon’s design enables a positive internal pressure and keeps its shape even in changing environmental conditions. Many standard heavy-lift zero-pressure balloons can vary in altitude by as much as 8.5 miles due to changing air temperatures resulting from the day-night cycle.and licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
