LTA Space Vehicles

菲利克斯·鲍姆加特纳最近从39公里高空跳伞的最高和最快的跳伞显示了人们对地球平流层上升方向的兴趣。在同一时期，加利福尼亚州的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，全志愿者小组的串联双气球飞艇从地面远程控制，上升到95,085英尺（28,982米）的高度。地球的这一地区有巨大的通信和研究机会，并且气球达到了向上加速的极限，这满足了比周围大气更大的内部压力的问题，既扩大了气球，又降低了气球的浮力。通过使用新材料和可持续能源，现在有可能建造一个大型平台车辆，可以长时间保持高度和位置，以支持其有效载荷。

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.
