1) As long as the mass of helium plus balloon and the payload is lighter than the air it displaces , the balloon will float in air.

Let mass of helium = m
Combined mass = 50 + 0.5 + m kg
Height = 1000 m

Mass of Helium in the balloon = Volume of Helium in the balloon at 1000 m * density of air at 1000 m

= ( mass / density of Helium) * density of air

Helium weighs 0.1785 g / liter

Using the above values the mass ...
