Sceye Is a Balloon-Like Cell Tower for the Stratosphere
We visited Sceye’s hangar in Roswell, New Mexico to learn about the company’s High Altitude Platform System (HAPS), which is designed to provide internet services to underserved communities and conduct Earth observation with partners including NASA and USGS.

Didn’t Hindenburg do this already?

If this succeeds the already depleted helium would suffer.
Realeasing helium to descend into the atmosphere sounds like a bad idea, alot of wasted helium in the process and not to mention any possible environmental impact.

It’s unmaned so why not use hydrogen helium is way too limited and important

I know Hydrogen is flammable, but with no living passengers, it should be safe and with a Helium shortage, a much more affordable and plentiful gas to use. So why aren’t they using Hydrogen?

AST SpaceMobile is doing to do this a lot more efficiently. Side note Starlink can’t because of interference issues.

Why weather balloon keep floating up and burst later and this one stay floated and not brust?
helium is expensive to made, isn’t it? Is there a way to keep/recycle helium?
@rowshambow

Because weather balloons go WAAAAT higher

Why would they use blimps? Microdrones that look like house flies will do a better job
@emptymannull
November 3, 2024 at 5:08 pm
I thought there was some kind of dire worldwide shortage of helium and we are running out. How were they able to get permits to waste so much of it? Was this a government research contract? When we all can’t get MRI scans or conduct certain research, looks like we know who to blame!

That’s a blimp or an airship.

I love how helium or hydrogen powered/assisted vehicles only become more and more solar and battery integrated with time. Soon the cost of solar battery, energy density, and weight will be improved so much there will be no reason to include hybrid systems or other forms of propulsion.

Every American who watches videos like this is familiar with metric. Information about satellites, the stratosphere, radio waves, etc. should be in metric not imperial. Think metric. Commercial passenger planes fly at 10,000 m and space begins 10x higher at 100 km. Starlink satellites orbit at an altitude of about 550 km.
@DemocracyDecoded
November 3, 2024 at 6:05 pm
What do you think about the increasing space flights? It’ll fill out skies with garbage, we need to make some restrictions or we will have a disaster, we can lose all our satellites and go back to the stone age.

How do they get around helium leakage through the material?
@djksfhakhaks

Yes. Lets take a finite resource used for life saving medical scans to instead make cell towers cheaper.
@AbiNubli

Is it just me I don’t think I’m the only one that’s saying this but they continue to blur out the propulsion system in the back of the airship I don’t see why? Did you find it to be very strange that such a company that is not doing anything top secret is hiding the propulsion system because it looks like a typical two-blade rotor🤔

“Satellite companies generally require a dish to access their services where as Sky says it will be capable of beaming Internet directly to users devices no additional hardwire required”
Should we tell them about Starlink direct to cell?😅

Umm.. isn’t helium expensive.. and limited.. and non-renewable? What deh doing about that? I guess never coming down is one solution..

@KaiseruSoze
November 4, 2024 at 10:23 pm
Buoyancy depends on how much air is displaced (Archimedes principle). So instead of releasing the helium into the air, why not compress it into a few carbon fiber tanks or maybe just one? You don’t need to do the whole volume – just enough to return home. I’m sure this has been considered… probably cheaper just to lose some helium.. .Fewer moving parts, less weight. etc.
