Stratellite
The Sanswire Stratellite is a TAO patented lighter than air airship designed for missions in the lower stratosphere up to 60,000 feet altitude. The Stratellite is currently in the development cycle which is broken generally into methodical steps with increasing functionality in order to allow for early interaction with the customer. The Airship can be equipped for telecommunication services or for surveillance capabilities. The Stratellite is designed to carry certain payloads into the Stratosphere determined by the requirements of the customer. The technical solution for a Stratellite is a segmented aircraft, consisting of a sequence of buoyancy cells. The concept allows for ascent and descent and stationary operation. Short and long time missions are possible with the Stratellite with possible launch capabilities setup within 24 hours at any location.
The Stratellite System has many fields of application, but beyond a purely commercial system, the Stratellite can provide efficient solutions in the field of fighting ecological disasters and catastrophes, filling the current void for instant infrastructures when catastrophe strikes. The system is envisioned to be an Ad-hoc installation to set up an emergency telecommunication system within hours wherever needed. In environmental disasters telecommunication breaks down within seconds, Re-installation of the infrastructure takes weeks or months. The Stratellite can be used as a floating mobile telecommunication station for all telecommunication purposes and the transmission of temporary data communication, telecommunication and TV-programs as well as long-term missions over metropolitan cities.
