费利克斯·鲍姆加特纳最近从39公里高高空跳伞的最高和最快的跳伞显示了人们对进入地球平流层的兴趣的向上方向。在同一时期，加州的JP航空航天公司打破了世界上最高的飞艇飞行记录。据报道，从地面遥控的全志愿者团队的串联式双气球飞艇上升到了95085英尺(28982米)的高度。地球的这一区域有巨大的通信和研究机会，并通过气球达到向上加速的极限，这遇到了比周围大气更大的内部压力的问题，既使气球膨胀，又降低其浮力。通过使用新材料和可持续的能源，现在可以建造一种大型平台运载器，它可以长时间保持高度和位置，支持其有效载荷。

The recent highest and fastest skydive from 39km high by Felix Baumgartner has shown the upward direction of interest into the stratosphere of the planet. During the same period California's JP Aerospace broke the record for the world's highest airship flight. Remotely controlled from the ground, the all-volunteer group's Tandem twin-balloon airship reportedly ascended to an altitude of 95,085 feet (28,982 meters). This region of the earth has tremendous opportunities for communications and research and reaches the limits of upward acceleration by balloons which meet the problem of greater internal pressure than the ambient atmosphere both expanding the balloon and reducing its buoyancy. By utilising new materials and sustainable power sources it is now possible to build a large platform vehicle which can maintain height and position for long periods of time supporting its payload.
