ABSTRACT
Improving the world one Airship at a time
The boom in communication, weather prediction, security and entertainment over the past 5 decades has been aided by satellites. Edge of Space Craft (eosCraft [TM]) will bring these capabilities closer to the Earth and within reach of more people. eosCraft are an alternative to the geosynchronous satellites that will be less expensive and have several technical advantages. These vehicles will enable cities, companies, schools, and potentially even individuals to find new applications. Applications will include emergency communication, early fire detection, real-time-traffic monitoring, stratospheric research etc.
This talk will be taped.
