The Stratollite is primarily used for applications including remote sensing, communications, and weather. [3] The Stratollite consists of a high-altitude balloon which lofts up a large solar panel and a payload gondola. The Stratollite also has a steerable parachute for soft return to ground after mission, enabling payload recovery.
Proponents claim a high-altitude communications platform, like the Stratellite, could make terrestrial broadcast towers obsolete, reducing the cost and time required for hardware updates. An update made to a single unit would effectively cascade to an entire grid of virtual broadcast towers.
The BLAST high-altitude balloon just before launch on June 12, 2005. High-altitude balloons or stratostats are usually uncrewed balloons typically filled with helium or hydrogen and released into the stratosphere, generally attaining between 18 and 37 km (11 and 23 mi; 59,000 and 121,000 ft) above sea level.

U.S. listed Chinese stocks dipped on Monday as tensions between China and the U.S. have grown in recent days over a suspected spy balloon escalating worry of future retaliation.
Urban Sky was founded in 2019 with the goal of increasing access to the stratosphere, and reducing the cost of remote sensing through balloon miniaturization and new approaches to balloon control. In 2020 Urban Sky began routine stratospheric operations and became the first company ever to reuse a stratospheric balloon. [3] [7]
