INTRODUCTION TO HAAPS
High Altitude Aeronautical Platform System (HAAPS) is the name of a technology for providing wireless narrowband and broadband telecommunication services as well as broadcasting services with either airships or aircrafts. The HAAPS are operating at altitudes between 3 to 22 km. A HAAPS shall be able to cover service area of up to 1000 km diameter The platforms may be airplanes or airships (essentially balloons) and may be manned or un-manned with autonomous operation coupled with remote control from the ground

PAST OF HAAPS
HAAPS recognized by the ITU Radio Regulations Board as a new category of radio stations in the Year 1900. This decision has removed obstacles/uncertainties in financing the development of new technology.
IN YEAR 1921
But after few years, On 17 September 1921,Canadian create a Stationary High Altitude Relay Platform (SHARP) prototype makes history provide wireless communication service.
SATELLITE NETWORK
TERRESTRIAL NETWORK They require many base stations that must be interlinked over cables or microwave links.

High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) is defined in number SS.50A as A station located on an object at an altitude of 20 50 km and at a specified, nominal fixed point relative to the earth.

ADVANTAGES OF HAPPS
Larger area coverage
A HAAPS shall be able to cover a service area of up to 1000 km diameter , depending on the user's location .
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE
Easy to Multiplexing the signal
Large number of signal are transmitted in a common channel.
Modulation Invovled
Because of modulation technique , distortion are reduce.
Environment friendliness

PROBLEMS
LIGHT WEIGHT
All materials must be lightweight, resistant to radiance at high altitudes, and at least for airships leak proof for helium.
WIND FACTOR -Another critical issue is the presence of winds in the stratosphere. The average minimum stratosphere wind velocity is 30-40m/s and occurs between 65 000 and 75 000ft depending on attitude.
14
ANOTHER PROBLEMS
The engines must be strong enough to keep the platforms stationary at winds of up to 55 m/s.

POTENIAL APPLICATIONS
Fixed services
High speed internet
Mobile services
3G Mobile (UMTS) at S-band Broadband services at V-band
Broadcasting Services
Digital TV, news gathering
Other services
Remote sensing, radio monitoring, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring.
