(en) Jean Piccard, de son nom complet Jean Felix Piccard né à Bâle le 28 janvier 1884 et mort à Minneapolis, États-Unis, le 28 janvier 1963, est un chimiste, ingénieur, professeur et aéronaute suisse, puis américain. Il est le fils de Jules Piccard - Haltenhoss (1841-1933) et le frère jumeau d'Auguste Piccard (1884-1962). Jean Piccard est un pionnier des vols stratosphériques (tout comme son frère Auguste) et de la recherche sur les rayons cosmiques. C'est en son hommage qu'a été nommé le personnage de Star Trek Jean-Luc Picard.

Nel 1931 acquista la cittadinanza statunitense. Fu un importante esploratore e si interessò alle ascensioni stratosferiche mediante aerostati appositamente progettati. Nel 1934 raggiunse la quota di 17500 metri di altitudine. Assieme alla moglie ha realizzato il primo aerostato in materiale plastico. (it) Jean Felix Piccard (Bazel, 28 januari 1884 - Minneapolis (Minnesota), 28 januari 1963) was een van origine Zwitserse chemicus, ingenieur, hoogleraar en ballonvaarder op grote hoogte. Hij onderzocht geclusterde hoogteballons, en was samen met zijn echtgenote Jeannette de uitvinder van de plastic ballon. Zijn uitvindingen en bijdragen aan uitvindingen worden gebruikt in de ballonvaart, de luchtvaart en de ruimtevaart. Hij vond o.a. een manier om de temperatuur te regelen binnen de capsule die onder een ballon hangt. De capsule had daartoe twee kleuren, zwart en wit. Met een ventilator in de capsule werd langs de zwarte / witte wanden lucht geblazen om de temperatuur te doen stijgen / dalen. (nl)
