    Fully inflated, a balloon of this size would contain just over 1,000 cubic feet (28 m 3) of helium. [29] Helium's lift capacity at sea level and 0 °C is 1.113 kg/m 3 (0.07 lbs/ft 3) and decreases at higher altitudes and at higher temperatures. The volume of helium in the balloon has been estimated as being able to lift a total load, including ...
