The HAA (High Altitude Airship). As an atmospheric satellite.



Sceye's stratospheric airship.(Interesting Engineering)


The HAA (High Altitude Airship) can act as an atmospheric satellite. High-flying solar-powered airship could operate for over 12 hours. Or, the 12 hours is the time that those airships take to reach. But those tests are prepared to create systems that can operate for years. Those airships can cruise at a very high altitude. And collect information that their operators require. The value of those airships is realized in NATO. 

The airship that flies at a very high altitude can carry sensors, such as radars and cameras, that may help civil and military actors detect drone swarms, aircraft, and other objects, including wildfires. 



Those systems can observe and search for humans and vehicles. For both civil and military purposes. In law enforcement and intelligence work, the airship can use laser microphones. That allows them to hear things from inside the building. 

Many people think that a high-flying airship, which operates at the edge of space, is a good target for missiles. The fact is that those airships can be equipped with similar active protection systems. As tanks. Those systems can shoot bullets or laser beams at incoming missiles. The airship can also use a plasma stealth system. That system can cover the airship using plasma. And that makes those systems very hard to detect. The electric motor’s IR signature is very low.

The airship can also deliver drone swarms to the area where it patrols. Those drones can carry sensors, like microphones, cameras, hydrophones, and sonar systems. Those systems can operate as an acoustic weapon.  As well as. They can also operate as kamikaze drones. Airship can drop torpedoes and underwater drones as well as regular quadcopters and other types of drones. 

The remote control. Or autonomous airship. It can also carry a space rocket to the edge of the atmosphere. The rocket. That has wings could be dropped to glide, and then the rocket ignites its engine. 

There might be many sizes of those atmospheric satellites. Some of them can be rugby-ball size. Some might be torpedo-size, and some of them could be the large-size zeppelins. There is a possibility of connecting the satellite with mylar balloons, filled with hydrogen. Those unmanned systems. Don’t need similar safety standards as manned systems. The air or oxygen. It must only be removed from the balloon. Then, a balloon can raise a satellite that can have the same missions as orbital systems.

It's the end of the rainbow

It's the end of the rainbow

Kimmo Huosionmaa

My dear readers, I have almost forgotten to write in these sites of the Blogger, and the reason is, that sometimes it's time to renew. I know that this might be feel or hear something, what I have written earlier. The blogger is a good platform and I would ever leave it. I have many feelings about this platform, and one is, that I published my first blog writing in here sometimes around ten years ago.

That writing was caused very positive feedback, and I started to write things first once in the month, but then more often. There are many people, who don't like this kind of texts, but then I must say, that I don't either like every persons or text, what I see, and maybe somebody is interested about this way of seeing the things. I have also right to dislike some person or texts.

First I was hiding my name for some reasons, what are only in my knowledge. But then I got more courage because of the positive feedback, what I got from my friends and other people. And I really believe that writings can change the world. The pen is the more powerful weapon than any gun, and this is the thing, what I learned from some book, what handled propaganda. The words are making motive to defend own ideology, and thoughts.

There have been happened many things after that, and the Blogger is not the only blog service in the world.  Here I mean, that sometimes it' very interesting to start with a new platform, as I have written many times before. And there is one thing, the new platform is not connected to one browser, so that is easier to handle. But don't worry I will sometimes continue to write also in here.

Of course, there is the possibility, that I will someday return to write texts here, but now "when inspiration strikes" the thing, what you might know is the primary area for my texts. But as you see, that there is the possibility, that I will someday return, and while waiting for that day, you might find my writings from the blogs, what are linked below the text. So see you there, and sometimes I will say, that may be in some day, I will start to write here again. And actually, if I would not update here something for a while, you might see my other blogs, what are linked to below the text.

There is one thing about publishing. Sometimes somebody doesn't like texts, what is written, and the thing is, that person who writes blogs cannot use only one service. There is always the possibility, that somebody would get angry about this kind of writings, and then the blog might face the censorship, what means that it can be denied, or getting to that work space might be make harder. And this is the thing, why sometimes must person change the platform, where the texts have been published.
