Stratellite Communication

                                                         (Stratellite Communication )

 That is not spelling mistake! Stratellite Communication, which sounds strikingly similar to Satellite Communication, is the brainchild of NASA's former scientist, Bob Jones. Stratellite are an advancement over the modern-day satellite communication overcoming the many hurdles faced by satellites.

Stratellites are high-altitude airships originally meant to hover in the Stratosphere, nearly 20 km above the surface of the Earth. the concept of Stratellite was first taken into serious consideration for manufacturing by a Germany based organization, Sanwire. The idea of Stratellite communication seemed ludicrous yet viable as it provided a stationary platform for various modes of wireless communication.

There are three major orbiting zones

1.(GEO) - Geosynchronous Orbit which is nearly 19,000 nautical miles from Earth' surface.
2.(MEO) - Medium Earth orbit which ranges between 500-1200 nautical miles from the earth.
3.(LEO) - Low Earth orbit which is nearly 200 nautical miles.

                         Satellites that hover in the MEO and LEO region are devoid of any scope of being stationary, only leading to discontinuous and limited coverage. This discontinuous and limited coverage of area for transmission leads to increase in the number of satellites in order to ensure complete coverage and smoother transmission. These hurdles can be overcome with the use of stratellite communication which has a wide range of coverage and ensures an uninterrupted channel due to its appreciably low distance from the surface of the earth. The minimal distance at which the stratellite is placed from the earth's surface guarantees clearer transmission and faster reception due to significantly less interference.

                              Stratellite communication, due to its greater area coverage and better transmission, could replace the exceeding number of satellites that not only hover over the orbital areas and increase the space traffic, thus saving the cost of manufacturing such expensive satellites. Stratellites could be boon to the telecommunication sector with almost half the expense.

 The Stratellite body involves less dynamic and complicated functioning in comparison to the heavy satellite body, which has extremely technical internal working system and can have single launches only. the main propeller behind this futuristic model is Helium gas that can be used to propel the airship for long.

                        Although the Stratellite has a rigid framework, yet its internal structure is quite flexible making it easily upgradeble. The benefit of being easily upgradable makes the Stratellites a more advanced mode of communication as new amendments could be made easily to its working. The Stratellite's structure is extremely simple and can be propelled with Helium, which os non-reactive and relatively eco-friendly.

                    The Stratellite is ideal. Its lies far above the jet streams and influential weather zone, making it scantily vulnerable to atmospheric disturbances. Its efficient working could help power broadband, digital television, radio signals and mobile phones to a large area. This would promote greater coverage and reduce times lags significantly.
