Au coucher du soleil, la température baissant fortement (plus d'effet radiatif) le ballon perd de sa force ascensionnelle et chute irrémédiablement s'il n'y a pas d'intervention. Le contrôleur du vol effectue alors une série de délestages afin de compenser la perte de force ascensionnelle. La quantité de lest à larguer pour assurer le passage jour nuit avoisine 6 % de la masse totale du véhicule. 1, record 1, French, - perte%20de%20force%20ascensionnelle
