A Closer Look at Sceye, the Balloon-Like Cell Tower for the Stratosphere

Sceye is a balloon-like cell tower for the stratosphere, like if a high-altitude balloon and a satellite had baby. We visited Sceye’s hangar in Roswell, New Mexico to check one out. #sceye #science #haps #nasa

    Except there’s shortage of helium because it is only extracted from new oil wells which we are not finding too many anymore

      The helium used here is not lost. In terms of usage, this is quite minimal. The daily use of helium for toy balloons in a single US state is probably more than one of these.

      ​@@BigrignohioWell, when you’re comparing it to such extremes as All the party balloons in an entire state, not sure anyone could disagree.

      @@joshpotts7640 One of 50 states in one day of the 365 in a year. Just pointing out the amount disposed in one day through such frivolous use is less than the NON disposable use here.

      @@Bigrignohio Graham’s law states that the rate of diffusion or of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight. He is 2nd smallest atom. Hence it leaks readily

      @@ShakespeareCafe Yes, which is why there was a LOT of research in developing ways to prevent that leakage. That’s like saying “water leaks through a sieve, therefore you can do nothing to contain it”.

    Very cool, I wonder if the material used makes it a big antenna

    If it was practical, they should instead use it to tender for providing internet broadband to rural USA customers.
