TL;DR: ACHAB as mentioned in this paper is a software tool developed to predict flight trajectory (horizontal and vertical motions) and thermal behavior of high-altitude zero pressure balloons, including ballasting and valving.
Abstract: *† ‡ § . ACHAB is a new software tool developed to predict flight trajectory (horizontal and vertical motions) and thermal behavior of high-altitude zero pressure balloons. Its features include also ballasting and valving. This paper will describe the theoretical basis and the development process of the code, and shows an example of the possible results, that are compared with experimental flights and the outputs of a reference software tool. ACHAB was then successfully used for trajectory prediction of the Carrier system of the experimental vehicle FTB1 within the activities of the USV (Unmanned Space Vehicle) program conducted by the Italian Aerospace Research Center (CIRA). Results of this balloon flight are also analyzed and discussed in the paper.
