Space satellites of the future on the balloons
And so, as a child were all like a hot air balloon can climb away into space. A Catalan developers of the company «Zero2Infinity» grown and sold children's imagination. Although not so literally.
Launching satellites Bloostar, using technology Rockoon, will be carried out directly from the stratosphere, where the payloads will be delivered with the help of balloons. The technology itself is not new, and similar practice starts from the middle of the last century. Features and Bloostar significant advantage is that at the height of more than twenty kilometers of the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft, which will be run, have little or no value. It is therefore Bloostar made in the form of concentric rings, steps. Which operate on the principle of a conventional three-stage rocket. At this point, the system can be put into orbit 600 km about 75 pounds of payload.
