Unmanned airships at FL650!
These guys want to put a network of unmanned airships holding in
position over metropolitan areas at 65,000 feet, lofting comm gear for two-way video, voice, and data. Getting to the URL may be slow; they're in the process of getting slashdotted. http://www.sanswire.com/stratellites.htm It's an interesting idea. I don't see any particular technical issues that can't be solved, and presumably they think they'll be able to deal with the regulatory issues. The big question is whether they can make any money doing it? |
