Emirates announced the registration of the first HAPS flights

According to Amac News: The announcement of Mira Aerospace states that this company is a developer and manufacturer of advanced unmanned systems based in the United States.
According to the statement, the success of these test flights reinforces the company's commitment to the development of the UAE's aerospace industry and strengthens its international position among other pioneering countries.
Launched from Abu Dhabi Island in the UAE, the aircraft flew high in the stratosphere for several days during each mission, carrying advanced Earth observation payloads, the statement said.
During this period, apart from collecting valuable flight data, various scenarios were tested to investigate the potential applications of specific use cases for Earth observation and environmental monitoring.
Hailed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as one of the top ten new technologies impacting the world, HAPS technology has already established itself on three continents.
Successful flights from the UAE not only demonstrate the country's growing expertise in high-tech aerospace solutions, but also pave the way for future advancements in this space.
Mira Aerospace's HAPS technology also enables long-duration, carbon-free flights using high-efficiency solar panels for energy.
It serves as a sustainable and cost-effective solution for continuous monitoring of the earth's surface with high-resolution data collection and communication services for uninhabited areas either as a stand-alone network or through 4G and 5G service providers, with flexibility High adaptability works in controlling the flight path and direction.
By bridging the gap between satellites and ground-based systems, HAPS technology provides enhanced capabilities over large areas and enables more precise and adaptive solutions to global challenges.
