The world's first low atmospheric orbit satellite
Designed to stay at low atmospheric orbit for prolonged periods, Quarkson has claimed that the SkyOrbiter LA25 platform is the world's first low atmospheric orbit satellite. The extreme long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of flying around the world with the aim of providing internet access to two thirds of the world's population that currently are not connected.
Suited for commercial and government applications over vast areas, the SkyOrbiter LA25 can bring instant infrastructure to developing countries and disaster areas. With a range of more than 42,714km, the high-endurance aerial system can operate 24/7 for up to two weeks.
According to Quarkson, the LA25 is estimated to be over 100 times less expensive than terrestrial communications network deployment and, unlike conventional satellites, it can be brought down for maintenance or upgrade when broken or worn out.
The SkyOrbiter LA25 platform has a wingspan of approximately 25m and can deliver a payload of up to 35kg, depending on the mission profile. It operates at altitudes of roughly 3500m.
