Captive balloon is sometimes used for weather observation. But at the time of strong wind, the stability of the balloon is reduced, and various risks of balloon (disconnection, collision of buildings, fall of measuring equipment) are increased. Therefore, we aim to develop of safe captive balloon against the wind force. In order to that, we perform four of change. Firstly, we provide an angle of attack to the balloon. Secondly, we provide a tail and introduce ACS (Attack Angle Control) system. Thirdly, the way to keep the balloon is changed from Kapton to net. Finally, the introduction of the tension control device. The result of the change, stability and safety of the balloon improves.
