SECTION-14

3. INTRODUCTION
• A Stratellite is similar to a satellite, but is
stationed in the stratosphere rather than in orbit
• At an altitude of about 13 miles, each Stratellite
will have clear line-of-site communications
capability to an entire major-metropolitan area
as well as being able to provide coverage across
major rural areas.

4. INTRODUCTION
• Placing a communications platform into the
stratosphere, in the form of an airship, has never
been done before. Such a platform can
fundamentally change how the world delivers
wireless telecommunications and the way we as
individuals communicate.

5. Stratellite can service a 3,00,000 sq
mile area

6. • The initial stratellite was
188 feet long, 60 feet
wide & 42 feet high.
• The outside layer is
made out of a hightech.
material called
SPECTRA

8. • Like the great airships of the
1930s, the Stratellites are whales
of the sky.(yenra)
• The prototype "Sanswire One" is
188 feet long and shaped like a
double-wide dirigible.
• It is a dirigible. The skeleton is a
thin frame of high strength
aluminum.

9. • Inside layer is filled with helium gas it is an inert gas and
is therefore not flammable
• With this design, the helium expands as the airship rises
forcing air out by propellers and lifting the airship.
• Uses solar cells sprayed on their surface to generate
electricity.
• The generated electricity drives propellers that work with
GPS technology to keep the stratellite stationary.
