Responsibilities

Peraton provides management and technical support for NASA’s scientific balloon program which supports enabling science missions for NASA and universities across the United States and foreign scientific communities. Scientific balloon missions provide researchers inexpensive, relatively quick, long duration access to near space altitudes and environments. Balloon missions cost orders of magnitude less than satellite missions and provide platforms for heavy experiments (some greater than 5000-lbs) to operate for weeks and even months. Balloon missions have provided significant science theories and discoveries about cosmic rays, gamma ray and x-ray astronomy, optical and UV astronomy, atmospheric sciences, and cosmic microwave background studies.

Our staff are located at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) in Palestine, TX where we design, analyze, build and assembly the support hardware and balloon gondola payloads for the missions. We launch the balloons from locations within the United States (Texas, New Mexico, and Hawaii) and around the world including Antarctica, Sweden, New Zealand, and Australia. Our engineers and technician staff support the launches and balloon and payload recoveries in the US and many worldwide locations.

Utilize diagnostic test equipment to troubleshoot, repair, and operate electronic systems with analog, digital and video electronics.

Perform routine ground support equipment maintenance. Complete project documentation such as procedures, change requests, schematics, and wiring diagrams.
Coordinate with science teams, researchers and engineers regarding system requirements and application of balloon flight equipment.
Configure test apparatus and equipment to conduct functional, operational, environmental, and qualification tests to evaluate performance and reliability of both prototype and production hardware.
