The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bombay established the TIFR National Balloon Facility (TNBF) at Hyderabad near geomagnetic equator, in 1969. The TNBF undertakes design/fabrication of stratospheric balloons and is also responsible for balloon launch, tracking, data retrieval and recovery of scientific payload after the flight. It provides radio telemetry, telecommand, tracking and undertakes mechanical and electrical integration and test of the scientific payloads. The TNBF has also its own R&D programme in balloon engineering and support instrumentation. To-date 419 balloon flights have been carried out for space astronomy (x-ray, gamma-ray, infrared) and atmospheric sciences (ozone, aerosol, electric field and conductivity). In future several balloon flights are planned for the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and for the space astronomy programme.
