摘要
A series of telecommunication and broadcasting tests using a high-altitude platform in the stratosphere at the altitude of 20 km was carried out at Hawaiian Island of Kauai in June-July 2002. For the high-altitude platform, we used a NASA solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Pathfinder Plus. The tests were successfully completed first in the world. This paper provides the configuration of the tests and briefly reports some of their results.
