Abstract:
A geostationary platform is held afloat by a superpressure balloon. A suitable altitude is 25 km. The craft carries electrohydrodynamic thrusters, to overcome winds, held within a scaffold. Sensors determine position, velocity, acceleration and vector. A CPU performs instructions for station-keeping or navigation. A communication system is included to, inter alia, receive instructions from the ground. The craft carries a payload for observation and transmission, cradled in a temperature-controlled chamber. Power to the platform is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves (with suitable frequencies including microwaves of 2.45 GHz or 5.8 GHz) from a ground-based transmitter to a receiving antenna on, or affixed to, the balloon which converts the electromagnetic energy to direct current. A step-up voltage converter increases the voltage as required. A ground station monitors craft position and operational efficiency by radar to help ensure safe takeoff, operation, and landing of the craft.

Claim (Index 5):
A system comprising:\n a superpressure balloon; a communications payload suspended, in use, by the balloon; electrically-powered thrusters operatively coupled to and suspended by the balloon; a rectenna suspended by the balloon and adapted to convert wireless wave energy into electricity; a power means for directing wave energy to the rectenna, wherein the power means, thrusters and rectenna are adapted such that, in use, the thrusters provide sufficient force to maintain the apparatus in geosynchronous position above the earth.
