High Altitude Airship - Technical Basis of Design
Charles K. Lavan, Jr., Lockheed Martin

High Altitude Airships represent an approach to providing persistent, stable, geostationary platforms that can support large payloads and operate in a totally 'green' manner. The technology to achieve this goal has developed in the last ten years with the advent of advanced materials, power and control systems. The integration and codependence of these technologies generates a significant systems engineering challenge. This challenge will be discussed in this presentation.
