A Stratellite is a type of satellite that is stationed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 13 miles, rather than in orbit. It can provide clear communications coverage to an entire metropolitan area as well as rural areas. Stratellites are designed to carry various payloads determined by customer needs and can perform both short and long missions. They provide communication advantages over traditional satellites by reducing transmission times. Stratellites use airship technology, solar power, and electric motors to remain at a fixed coordinate. They have the potential to deliver services like broadband internet, TV, and mobile phone networks to wide areas at low cost compared to other options.
