The French Space Agency (CNES) has been supporting scientific ballooning since its establishment in 1962, with the operation of different types of aerostats: Zero Pressure Balloon (BSO), Infra-Red Montgolfieres (MIR) and Superpressure Balloons (BP). The flight train, part of the aerostat hanging from the balloon hook (nadir end fitting of the balloon), is made of lines to find its different components. In the CNES configuration, the flight train comprises: - the recovery system with the load parachutes and the cut off device; - the house keeping gondola (NSO) to control the flight: localisation, telemetry (TM) and telecommand (TC); - the scientific gondola with its dedicated telemetry and telecommand system. Some scientific payload, (telescope or spectrometer), requires a pointing system to perform its measurements. This paper presents an overview of three main areas of activities for the different types of aerostat: recovery systems, TM/TC systems and stabilized gondola as platform for scientific payload.
