|
|
- Complies with regulatory constraints (geofencing, etc) and safety.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Carries an agnostic payload which can transmit without any interferences from our own avionics
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Withstands environmental conditions of high altitudes, such as, UV, low temperatures and low pressures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Has the ability to be serviced and maintained
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Has the ability to integrate to a larger network which meets the navigation and communication requirements
|

This work could ultimately create a network of balloons that could be managed as an ISP for communities that do not have internet service. It could also be used to move payloads for governments. Creating a government contracting firm that specializes in deploying balloons with agnostic payloads.
