If we're heading toward civilization or a difficult recovery area we'll release the balloon before we get there. On Tandem we'll have vents that can release helium on command.

When your space craft reach their highest altitude do the balloons pop or do you let out some of the gas and induced a controlled decsent? I ask this because I'm wondering how the craft land in one piece. I have a quick question.
