Scope

GB/T 44820-2024 is the English-translated version of 超压气球通用要求.

GB/T 44820-2024 is the Chinese national standard covering the free balloon whose internal gas pressure stays above the outside atmosphere at its design altitude — the categories, the platform, gondola and mission payload, the function, performance and interfaces, the safety that has to hold when the lifting gas is hydrogen rather than helium, the reliability, environmental adaptability, testability, maintainability and interchangeability, the test method for each of those, and the marking, accompanying documents, packaging, transport and storage. It builds on the balloon terminology of GB/T 43328-2023 and covers development, production and use. First edition. In force from 1 May 2025. Issued on 26 October 2024, it has been in force since 1 May 2025.
