Abstract

The first test flight of a new free‐fall capsule released from high altitude balloon was performed on May, 2006 based on a drag‐free technique. The fundamental data for analyzing the drag‐free control, the flight sequence, and the wireless communication between the capsule and control room were successfully obtained in the flight.
