Hello Andrew.,
You say Ballistic delivery of materials for the purpose of Solar Radiation
Management,
but unless I'm misunderstanding you, you mean Stratospheric Sulphur Seeding,
not SRM.
Stratospheric Sulphur Seeding is certainly the SRM scheme that has attracted
most
attention, and I wish
Andrew, et al.,
You may want to spend some time thinking about the use of a Vacuum
Airship as a means for aerosol delivery. Here is the Wiki;

It has a history that goes even further back than what is listed on the
Wiki page, but that is a side note.
Hello All,

Hello Roger,
I've sent on yr message (below), as requested, to:

Good to hear from you,
Thanks for that, Roger. I'm aware of the issue with frictional losses
- but the only way to send the payload up with little 'dead metal' is
to propel it from the ground. The closer to vertical it's sent, and
the less vehicle which is sent up to transport it, the lower the
energy.
