A solar paddle system for a long duration balloon flight has been developed to supply large electric power to a balloon payload. This system is composed of plural solar paddles. At first they are stacked compactly and attached to a bottom of the gondola so that wide solar paddles cannot interfere with balloon launching operation. After a balloon reaches a ceiling altitude, the paddles are fully deployed downward. The elevation angle of each solar paddle is controllable as well as the azimuth angle of the entire system. This two-axes sun-following ability makes power generation efficiency maximum. The number of solar paddles can be increased easily in case required power is larger. This solar paddle system will be applicable for many long duration balloon flight missions with minor design change.
