China's self-developed floating airship breaks record

STORY: China's self-developed floating airship breaks record DATELINE: May 15, 2021 LENGTH: 0:01:06 LOCATION: LHASA, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of China's self-developed floating airship STORYLINE: China's self-developed floating airship, designed for atmosphere observation, reached a record altitude of 9,032 meters in Tibet Autonomous Region on Sunday. The floating airship "Jimu No.1" type III was developed by the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). It has a volume of 9,060 cubic meters. The floating airship can collect data at high altitude, which is used to track the regional water cycle and monitor changes in atmospheric composition. The project is part of China's second scientific research survey of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It was carried out by 64 scientists from several Chinese research institutions. The floating airship is expected to provide vital data on the water source of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and contribute
