Abstract:
1. A stratospheric stay facility comprising: a structure for stay having a cabin in which an internal environment in which humans can stay is maintained and having resistance to pressure in an external environment at a highest altitude at which the structure for stay is kept flying; a plurality of flying bodies that are adapted to ascend to the sky by buoyancy and lift said structure for stay to keep said structure for stay flying in the stratosphere in the altitude range of 15 to 25 kilometers; wherein each one of said flying bodies is adapted to move in vertical and horizontal directions, and wherein said plurality of flying bodies pull said structure for stay in different directions to control position and inclination of said structure for stay; wherein said plurality of flying bodies include three or more flying bodies that are distributed around the periphery of said structure for stay and wherein each of said plurality of flying bodies are each adapted to move independently from each other of said plurality of flying bodies so as to control said position and inclination of the structure for stay by independently controlling said plurality of flying bodies; and a plurality of mooring members arranged to moor said structure for stay, said plurality of mooring members including a plurality of first mooring cables that each has a first end fixed to a respective connecting cable connecting one of said flying bodies and said structure for stay and a second end fixed to the Earth to moor said structure for stay.
