Oscillatory fields, successive

Success of the Reel Down approach hinges on the stability of the system under stratospheric conditions (characterized by low pressures, but potentially large horizontal wind fields). Oscillatory motion developed in any axis of the suspended experiment cluster can compromise experimental control and thus the quality of the observations. A prototype system was constructed to test the feasibility of such a system in the stratosphere. Technical details are described in detail elsewhere [19].
