Learn about launching tethered aerostats.
Tethered aerostats are unmanned non-rigid lighter-than-air vehicles that remain anchored to the ground by one or more ropes. They are used for various surveillance tasks, where a low-cost long-endurance stationary aerial platform is needed. Tethered aerostats can carry equipment such as digital cameras or communication repeaters.
