Globe Aerostatique. Dedie e Monsieur Charles
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Lofty Moment in Aviation History: The Second Ascension of Jacques Alexandre Cesar Charles' Hydrogen Balloon at Nesle, France (December 1, 1783) In this image, Jacques Alexandre Cesar Charles (1746-1825), the French polymath and pioneering balloonist, is depicted leaving Nesle, France, following the successful first hydrogen balloon flight from Paris on December 1, 1783. Accompanying him on the ground is Marie-Noel Robert (1757-1837), a fellow passenger from the historic flight. The "Globe Aerostatique. Dedie e Monsieur Charles" (The Hydrogen Balloon Dedicated to Mr. Charles) is shown lifting off for the second time in the midst of the Prairie de Nesle, where it had just landed. The momentous occasion marked the first manned flight in European history to reach an altitude above 1,000 feet. Charles' groundbreaking achievement came just weeks after the Montgolfier brothers' successful demonstration of a hot air balloon in June 1783. Inspired by their success, Charles and his team, including the Montgolfier brothers, set their sights on harnessing the power of hydrogen gas to achieve greater altitudes and longer flight durations. With the support of the French Academy of Sciences, Charles and his team constructed the "Globe Aerostatique," which was filled with hydrogen gas produced by heating iron filings and sulfuric acid. On December 1, 1783, Charles and Robert ascended from Paris, reaching an altitude of approximately 15,000 feet before descending near Nesle. In this image, Charles is seen preparing for his second ascent, with Robert taking statements from the witnesses on the ground. The event drew a large crowd, and the excitement surrounding the pioneering aviator's achievements would continue to inspire future innovations in flight technology.
