Due to the increasing interest in performing experiments onboard stratospheric balloon gondolas, there is a need to deepen the knowledge and understanding of the conditions and forces that could affect the experiment during the flight. An area requiring in-depth analysis is the occurrence of hypergravity during stratospheric balloon flight, related, for example, to the strong winds occurring in the stratosphere or to the impact caused by landing. The paper shows an analysis of data from three stratospheric balloon missions. Each mission by default consists of three phases of flight which are, consecutively: balloon launch, balloon burst, and landing of the gondola. Such a division proposed by the authors, enables analysis of the sample’s in-flight behavior. An accelerometer, placed inside the gondola and representing the payload during flight with lateral accelerations acting on it in all phases, enables data collection and further outcome analysis, which is being discussed in the following paper.
