Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
The development of the Technology has enabled the deployment of high-altitude platforms (HAP) for general purposes, like Communications, internet or observation. A HAP is a flying platform which is able to take a payload up to 20 to 50 km high. They behave like a pseudo-satellite, almost like a geo-stationary satellite that keeps the position above the target area with a relative high precision at low cost and effort. These devices can keep the mission up to the skies for a long period. Usually they are planned for several weeks or even months.
The deployment of such devices arise several questions related to the type of available platforms, and their performance, missions, and general characteristics. On the other hand, it is also interesting to understand the legal and regulatory aspects of its deployment, establishing a comparison among countries and regions, as well as determining the limitations to be applied. Also considering what happens in case of international operations. Another important issue is the steps of their deployment and operations; regulations and procedures to follow. Are the upcoming legislations and regulations about drones applicable to this kind of devices and operations? Can these new regulations ease the steps and paperwork to be prepared?
