Which you can find online here:http://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/bitstream/2014/30122/1/95-0417.pdf

"Airship Technology" Edited by Khoury and Gillett
Available here:http://www.amazon.com/Airship-Technology-Cambridge-Aerospace-Khoury/d...
Other books and web sites worth adding to a research library on airships
include:
"Airship Design" by Burgess
Old but still useful and available here:http://www.amazon.com/Airship-Design-Charles-P-Burgess/dp/1410211738/...
"Airship Aerodynamics" By the U.S. War Department
Originally intended for training of Navy airship personnel but a short
yet effective guide to basic concepts. Available here:http://www.amazon.com/Airship-Aerodynamics-Technical-War-Department/d...
The website of the Experimental Lighter than Air organization:
http://www.xlta.org/
There are a couple of PDF docs worth downloading in the LIBRARY page and
further links to other sites in the LINKS page (naturally).
Hope some of this helps.

efficiently ballooning science instruments below them thick clouds

such little energy as they outperform their task in most every aspect.
Starting from scratch, this custom rigid composite airship is capable

displaced from the top down with the failsafe gas of hydrogen. I was
thinking along the lines of using rigid/hard composite spheres,
arranged into an airship format (5 in tandem) that’s kind of

Interesting, as to how the entire DARPA Usenet/newsgroup thing grinds
itself to a bloody halt whenever something really interesting comes
along.
It's as though the Planet Venus is just as DARPA taboo/nondisclosure
rated as is our physically dark moon, so much so that not even the
regular laws of physics nor the best available science can be
discussed without my having to receive more than my fair share of
mainstream status quo flak.
If you'd care to learn more (1-253-8576061), or just to share and
share alike would be kinda nice.

In that thick atmosphere, rigid airships are going to best suit our

I doubt Venusians are regular humanoids, at least not without advanced
technology and/or biophysical adaptations applied. I see little
reason to think Venus is "heavily populated", in fact, I doubt those
would be entirely of locally grown and evolved species as we know it,
whereas more than likely we're talking of visiting ETs responsible for
what we can interpret as most likely creating those artificial
structures, at least as deductively extrapolated from those radar
obtained images.
Where do you extract such other intelligence as pertaining to the
planet Venus?

I'd like you to explain how you make a rigid shell light enought.
Remember increased atmosphere density also implies increased pressure.

Correct, even pressure plus full interior vacuum if you like.
Or, one could simply offset or displace the mostly CO2 with good old
reliable and failsafe H2.
How much pressure will a good sphere made of a tough composite take?
Remember that for robotics, conventional viewing ports or pilot/crew
escape hatches are not required, and there could be several of these
tough spheres per rigid airship.
The rigid airship quest and of the R&D give and take of this topic is
intended to argue exactly this kind of related technical issue. I do
not have all the answers that I honestly believe others do have at
their disposal. Go figure as to why such public funded expertise
isn't being touted or much less shared.
It seems to me that a given planet of terrific pressure and good
atmospheric density beats most anything moon like or Mars vacuum like,
especially nifty if that planet were at times only 100X as far away as
our moon.
These robotic composite rigid airships could be rather nicely remote
piloted from a manned station (aka POOF City) as safely and
efficiently kept within Venus L2.

Whilst hating to appear to support anything the Guthbot posts
I feel it necessary to point out that this is a red herring. As
long as you equalise pressures inside and outside the envelope
there is no reason for the shell to be any heavier than for a
terrestial airship.
The boiling sulphuric acid rain storms are another matter however.

Brad,
One word:
Lithium
You need to ingest massive doses of Lithium.
That's not half bad for a DARPA brown-nosed minion. Are you speaking
from personal first hand experience with taking Lithium?
Just for a little extra topic argument sake:
http://www.deepoceanexpeditions.com/ships_3_2.html
“The Deep Rover 1002 submersibles have been pressure tested to 1.25
times their maximum diving depth (1,250 meters or 4,100 feet) with a
designed safety factor of four times and a theoretical crush depth of
over 4,000 metres (13,120 feet).”
Of course purely robotics as housed within robust spheres are most
certainly more than good for going all the way down to the deepest of
ocean floors. Venus should hardly be all that insurmountable,
especially if using tough composite spheres.
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/savageseas/deep-side-journey.html
“Piccard and Walsh touched down onto the floor of the very deepest
part of the ocean -- where the crushing pressure exceeds 16,000 pounds
per square inch (more than a thousand times greater than the pressure
at sea level), and where Piccard reported seeing a fish swimming by.
The divers then released the steel shot, and began their rise to the
surface.”
Our worse case robotic probes as accommodated by way of these
composite rigid airships, as such need only survive 100 bar, thereby
of less than 10% as much pressure as the more than four decade old
Challenger Deep or USN Trieste deep ocean capability, and that’s if
these multiple sphere interiors had to remain at no greater than one
bar. Of course with robust robotics, pressure or vacuum are not
significant issues, as with live crew that get a little testy ear
popping while in elevators.

A trivial design problem compared with Venusian conditions.
The pressure vessel on those submersibles would MELT
on the Venusian surface while the sulphuric acid droplets
suspended higher in the atmosphere make that a very unpleasant
environment for acryllic plastics.
At any altitude within a meaningful fraction of the Venusian
atmosphere the temperatures are high enough to fry electronics
without a powerful cooling system.. IRC the record for duration
of any package landed on the surface is around 2 hours
