A silver helium filled blimp is set to boost internet access around the world.
The Sceye HAPS uses solar power to hover in the stratosphere to beam high-speed internet to people in remote communities.
The unmanned vessel is 65 metres long and designed to launch vertically to an altitude of 18,300 metres to 19,800 metres.
It can then hover in place at a given altitude and set of GPS coordinates, powered by solar cells which are integrated into its full-body silver-foil coating.
While hovering for up to months at a time between service intervals it's able to relay broadband internet to underserved communities, monitoring the climate and environment, and watching for forest fires or other natural disasters.
It is already a key component in a project in New Mexico in the USA where a consortium of telecommunications companies has set out to provide universal broadband access to the native American Navajo Nation.
The aircraft is also part of a five-year US Environmental Protection Agency study aimed at tracking and measuring methane emissions.
It is being developed in the USA by New Mexico-based aerospace company Sceye.

Picture must credit: SpinLaunch
A plan to launch satellites into space by spinning them around and then using centrifugal forces to hurl them into the sky like a stone from a catapult, has been unveiled.The system is more eco-friendly than burning rocket fuel because the launch system uses electric power.The system, called SpinLaunch is aimed at putting 200 kilogram class satellites into low earth orbit. It is also substantially less expensive as well as environmentally sustainable according to the team behind it.The operation is currently being tested with the use of what the US firm calls a Suborbital Accelerator at a base in New Mexico, USA.This is a circular steel vacuum chamber weighing 1,000 tons steel vacuum which stands upright and with what looks like a chimney , called the exit tunnel, attached.Distance from the ground to the top of the chimney-like funnel is 50.4 metes, four metres higher than the Statue of Liberty.The satellite is whirled around at speeds of between 800 mph and 5,000 mph / 1,287 km/h and 8,046 km/h inside attached to a giant carbon fibre arm called a tether, until the moment of release.The satellite then shoots up the tunnel into the sky.

A plan to launch satellites into space by spinning them around and then using centrifugal forces to hurl them into the sky like a stone from a catapult, has been unveiled.The system is more eco-friendly than burning rocket fuel because the launch system uses electric power.The system, called SpinLaunch is aimed at putting 200 kilogram class satellites into low earth orbit. It is also substantially less expensive as well as environmentally sustainable according to the team behind it.The operation is currently being tested with the use of what the US firm calls a Suborbital Accelerator at a base in New Mexico, USA.This is a circular steel vacuum chamber weighing 1,000 tons steel vacuum which stands upright and with what looks like a chimney , called the exit tunnel, attached.Distance from the ground to the top of the chimney-like funnel is 50.4 metes, four metres higher than the Statue of Liberty.The satellite is whirled around at speeds of between 800 mph and 5,000 mph / 1,287 km/h and 8,046 km/h inside attached to a giant carbon fibre arm called a tether, until the moment of release.The satellite then shoots up the tunnel into the sky.

The Milky Way rises behind a particularly unique formation known as the "King of Wings" hoodoo in the Ah-She-Sle-Pah Wilderness Study Area near Bloomfield, New Mexico, on May 17, 2018. The area is comprised of rock units from the upper Fruitland Formation and lower part of the Kirtland Formation, both late Cretaceous in age, and it was prospected by the dinosaur hunter Charles Hazelius Sternberg in the summer of 1921.
