Default Balloon-based telescopes

Greetings all non-loonies,

I have just been reading a small piece about the SUNRISE balloon-based
1m telescope. What it didn't tell me, and what I find puzzling, is how
to stabilise a balloon at 40 kilometres altitude to make it useful for
observing the sun?

Regards

Alan
