China successfully hosted the new airship alternative satellite near future or suborbital space
At 2:10 on October 13, China's first military and civilian space platform near the new "Dream Number" in Inner Mongolia Xilinhot flying success.

Technology Daily News October 14, October 13 2 8:10, China's first military and civilian space platform near the new "Dream Number" in Inner Mongolia Xilinhot flying success.
This is the world's first with continued momentum, controlled flight, re-use capability of near space airship flight, is the first to provide commercial services to businesses and individual users on the fly. The flight carrying the customer's broadband communications, data relay, high definition observation, space situational awareness and airborne imaging systems. As of press time reporter, the airship is 20 km height specified range and flight in space, the system as usual.
Reporters at the scene saw the launch, "Dream Number" is a huge silver airship, a volume of 18,000 cubic meters, rely on helium buoyancy rose into the air. It takes three six-dimensional motor propeller, rely on solar energy to power after launch, scheduled to air in 48 hours.
"Dream No." South River by the Beijing Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. joint Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia jointly developed.
At the launch site, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, told reporters the whole, is a region of space near the Earth's surface from 20 km to 100 km, it is a traditional joint aviation space and aerospace space. Due to the influence of the physical height and density of the air, the traditional aircraft and spacecraft can not fly in this space, and thus become very special among the highest altitude of general aviation aircraft and space-based satellite lowest orbital altitude areas.
"Dream Number" and continued use of solar power, energy autonomous and remote control off, landing, fixed and cruise flight, perform communication coverage with the relay, to be imaged with a variety of tasks and other observations.
"Spacecraft approaching the biggest difficulty lies in going up, but also to retain, due to the great temperature difference between day near space, materials and systems for controlling high demands." The whole told reporters.
"Our capsule material lighter, more pressure, flexible solar energy conversion rate of over 18%, and avionics system is the world's lightest." South River Aerospace chairman Lin Lixin told reporters .
News Background
According to the China Aviation News Network data, because of the near space potentially huge business, political and military interests have a more profound understanding of, including the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany, Japan, in developed countries have stepped up within the near space exploration intensity and frequency, have launched various types of near space steerable aerostat development.
Economically speaking, an object of near space development and utilization, is by arranging in the airspace near space steerable aerostat (NearSpaceControllableAerostat) sub-orbital satellite to replace some of the features, to complete a variety previously only by satellite to complete the work, such as crop production estimates, weather forecast, severe weather warnings, earth observation, communications relay, etc., thereby greatly reducing operational costs and improve overall efficiency.
From the national security side, near space steerable aerostat can rely on height advantage for early warning, wartime communications support or attack platforms. It is particularly important near space steerable aerostat as cooperative relaying empty days between aircraft, make up air and space integration jobs gap. It is not difficult to see, near space for the future development of mankind has a very great significance, it will also be the human exploration and use of sky next stop.
