The sudden loss of hight at the front looks like the gas that lifts the blimp got imbalanced and shifted to the back.

Nice work getting the pic Angela (in 2016). Lots of tips coming through which is helpful.

They need to have some kind of buffer like an airbag between the cockpit and the ground given the obvious difficulties they have controlling the thing while descending.

[@madbikerchick1]

One of the upgrades it had after this incident, was an auxiliary landing system; basically airbags each side of the cockpit, and deployed by the pilot just prior to landing.

[@itchyvet]

@@madbikerchick1 Maybe they should drop the rear end coming in, flairing out smoothly, instead of a nose dive ?

[@tiporari]

Ground effect, local weather conditions and very indirect controls make this a difficult thing to pull off reliably and safely. Without a way to transition from buoyant to thrust or lift driven flight, these will remain a curiosity at least on this planet. Variable buoyancy designs exist but share the same weakness of poor control authority and wind intolerance. Simple solution. Fire grapplers at the ground, have them burrow/anchor (robotically) and reel the ship in levelly using software to keep it balanced as you compress your helium or vent/exchange hot air.

[@madbikerchick1]

There wasn't a problem with the ship, it was the mooring mast. Had that been functioning correctly, there would have been no problem, as the ship made a safe landing; the mooring mast had a fault, so the craft took off again, as it flew round, the mooring line inside the ship came loose and hung down, the ship had to come in far higher than previously to prevent the line from dragging on the ground.

[@largol33t1]

@@madbikerchick1 So why was there not a second mooring mast in case the first failed? Can't they also drop lines from the sides and run them through pulleys anchored to the ground like the old airships did in the 1930s?

[@madbikerchick1]
