Near-Space Maneuverable Platform for High-Resolution Imaging and Earth Science Observations

This concept entails a near-space platform for solar, Earth, and astrophysical imaging with a focus on high-resolution data acquisition and technology development. The platform houses advanced instruments for solar photosphere, Earth pollution monitoring, and large-aperture astrophysics observations. It operates in near-space (>18 km altitude) with a stabilized craft, offering long-duration stable pointing for detailed data collection.
