Hypothetical Balloon

Let’s suppose that we find an opaque plasma material for our balloon that weighs the same as the propellant ~ 100 kg. Then let satellite + propellant + payload =300kg
30 km diameter with 1% opacity = 91nPa
64 N / 300 kg = 0.21 m/s2 = 2% of g!
- 36 days to Mars
- 72 days to Jupiter
- 7.4 months to Pluto
