High-Altitude Aerial Platforms - August 2023 - Silicon Chip Online

Special balloons and fixed-wing aircraft can act as long-endurance aerial platforms for observation and communication. Known as high-altitude platform stations/systems (HAPS), they fly above most planes but below satellites. Weather, scientific and military balloons are similar; they also ascend to great heights but do not necessarily stay there for a long time. by Dr David Maddison
