This competition encourages participants from industry, academia and research to support the High Altitude Pseudo Satellites Platform (HAPS) development by funding innovation prototypes and multi-mission payloads.
This Innovate UK (IUK) competition has been created to develop prototype dual use and multi-mission payloads and solutions for data processing, evaluation and dissemination (PED). The aim is to complement the High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) platform development by addressing priority needs and challenges within sensing, datalinks and PED. HAPS refers to an unmanned airship, plane or balloon watching over Earth from the stratosphere.
