BALLONFAHRT AUGUSTE PICCARD 1931
Der Schweizer Wissenschaftler Auguste Piccard mit seiner Frau und seinen Kindern bei der von ihm entwickelten Druckkapsel des Ballons, mit dem er zusammen mit Paul Kipfer die Stratosphaere erkundete und dabei einen Hoehenrekord aufstellte, aufgenommen um 1931. Eines seiner Kinder traegt den von Piccard und Kipfer eigens entworfenen Ballon-Sturzhelm, einem mit Kissen ausstaffierten Korb. (KEYSTONE/IBA-ARCHIV/Str) Swiss scientist Auguste Piccard with his wife and their children next to the pressure capsule of the balloon designed and constructed by Piccard, pictured in 1931. Piccard and a Belgian engineer made a flight to the stratosphere on May 27, 1931. They reached an altitude of 15'785 m. One of Piccard's children wears a balloon crash helmet, a basket stuffed with pillows, constructed by Piccard and Kipfer. Auguste Piccard (1884-1962) was a physicist, inventor and explorer. An interest in ballooning and a curiosity about the upper atmosphere led him to design and construct a spherical, pressurized aluminum gondola which would allow him to ascend to great altitude without requiring a pressure suit in 1930. Piccard and a Belgian physicist made a second record-breaking ascent to 16'200 m on August 18, 1932. In the mid-1930s, Piccard's interests shifted when he realized that a modification of some of his atmospheric balloon concepts would allow to descend into the deep ocean and he designed a small steel gondola to withstand great external pressure. Piccard and his son built the improved Bathyscaphe Trieste in 1953. (KEYSTONE/IBA-ARCHIV/Str)
