, 7th Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology, 2015.11, The authors have developed a new aerosol observation and sample-return system using a balloon-assisted UAV for easy recovery of the observation apparatuses and samples. Although the balloon-assisted small UAV has reached and returned from the altitude of 10km in January 2013 in Antarctica, it is necessary to raise the observation altitude up to 30km from the standpoint of aerosol observation. However, it is difficult to estimate aerodynamic characteristics of such a small UAV in such region. In order to solve the problem, the authors devised the method named “two-stage separation method” in which we can choose the start altitude for gliding and estimating aerodynamic characteristics step by step by parachuting down the UAV until it reaches the start altitude for gliding after separated from the balloon. This paper shows the details of the method and the result of the flight performed in 2015 in Antarctica.
