SCHWEIZ BALLONFAHRT AUGUSTE PICCARD 1932
Die Kapsel des Ballons, mit dem der Schweizer Wissenschaftler Auguste Piccard und der belgische Physiker Max Cosyns zum zweiten Flug in die Stratosphaere aufbrechen werden, steht vor dem Start am 18. August 1932 in einem Hangar des Flugfeldes in Duebendorf, Schweiz. (KEYSTONE/PHOTOPRESS-ARCHIV/Es) Swiss scientist Auguste Piccard's balloon gondola in a hangar on the airport in Duebendorf, Switzerland, before the flight to the stratosphere, pictured on August 18, 1932. It is Piccard's second balloon flight to the stratosphere. 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 Belgian engineer Paul Kipfer reached a record altitude of 15'785 m on May 27, 1931. During this flight, Piccard was able to gather substantial data on the stratosphere. 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/PHOTOPRESS-ARCHIV/Es)

August 1932 in Duebendorf, Zuerich, seinen zweiten Stratosphaerenflug, und landete einen Tag spaeter nahe Volta am Gardasee. Sie erreichten eine Rekordhoehe in der Stratosphaere von ueber 16000 Metern. Fuer ihren Flug benutzten sie eine kugelfoermige Druckkabine, die an einen riesigen Ballon gehaengt war. Ausser zahlreichen aus dieser Hoehe vorher nicht fotografierten Bildern brachten die Wissenschaftler den Beweis mit, dass es Menschen mit Hilfe von Druckkabinen moeglich ist, sich in extremen Hoehen aufzuhalten.
