RAeS Farnborough Branch - The Zephyr High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS)

Zephyr is an ultra-light solar electric aircraft, optimised for operation in the lower Stratosphere. With beyond line of sight command and control, Zephyr can operate from the stratosphere anywhere over the globe. It offers year round persistence in the mid-latitude range and seasonal coverage at high latitude. Its endurance is measured in months and offers a complementary capability to LEO satellites, but with geostationary behaviour. This exciting talk will describe the technology, the capability and present what is next for this innovative and disruptive technology.

This is the old SHARP system from Canada! Same basic concept anyway. Cool idea

Would it be possible to deploy a Zephyr on the planet Venus?
