Global High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) are aircraft positioned above 20 km altitude, in the stratosphere, in order to compose a telecommunications network or perform remote sensing, for military, surveillance, communication or civil, etc. These aircraft may be airplanes, airships or balloons, manned or unmanned. The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere where the temperature starts to increase with altitude. High altitude long endurance (pseudo satellite) is maintained at high altitude by atmospheric lift, aerostatics/buoyancy or aerodynamic force.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) market finds that the global High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) market reached a value of USD 5564.11 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 145126.21 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 72.21% during the forecast period.

Under the influence of the epidemic, the aerospace and production departments of various countries have stopped most of their production and manufacturing. For example, NASA announced the temporary closure until further notice, and required all non-key personnel to work from home whenever possible. The epidemic situation has hindered the production and manufacture of High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite).

The main raw materials of high altitude long life (pseudo satellite) include high performance batteries, engines, sensors and so on. The COVID-19 epidemic has restricted the trade between countries, and the transportation of raw materials has also been restricted. The shortage of raw materials will have a certain impact on the industry of High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite).

The epidemic has accelerated the digitalization process of various industries. HAPS Alliance, a company alliance in the industry of High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite), has started cooperative efforts to bring 5G Internet services to remote areas through independent solar aircraft. The rapid development of Internet and 5G will bring development opportunities to the high altitude long endurance (pseudo satellite) industry.

Strength

Compared with Satellite
High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) keeps high altitude by atmospheric lift. Contrary to satellites in Earth orbit, satellites in Earth orbit move freely at high speed in space vacuum and enter orbit because their centrifugal force matches gravity. The cost of satellite construction and launch is very high, and any change in its orbit needs to consume its extremely limited fuel supply. High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) aim to provide various services more economically and flexibly than the current LEO satellites. Because High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) operates at a much lower altitude than satellites, it is possible to cover a small area more effectively. Compared with satellites, lower altitude also means lower telecommunication link budget (thus lower power consumption) and smaller round trip delay. In addition, as far as development and launch are concerned, deploying satellites requires a lot of time and money resources. On the other hand, High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) is relatively cheap and can be deployed quickly. Another major difference is that once a satellite is launched, it cannot land for maintenance, while High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) can.

Weakness

Power limitation
High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) needs electricity to maintain its own and payload functions. Although the current High Altitude Long Life (Pseudo Satellite) is powered by batteries or engines, the mission time is limited by the charging/refueling requirements. Therefore, future alternatives are being considered. Solar cell is one of the best choices for High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite).

Region Overview:

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Fuel Gas Type segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2021.

Solar Cell Type

In order to realize night operation and ensure the durability of continuous 24-hour day and night cycle, solar panels charge batteries during the day, and then supply power to vehicles in dark time. High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) may be powered by batteries at night at first, so that solar panels can utilize sunlight all day long.

Lithium-ion Batteries Type

Lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery. In a battery, lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode through the electrolyte during discharge, and then return when charging. Lithium ion batteries use embedded lithium compounds as materials in the positive electrode, and graphite is usually used in the negative electrode. The battery has high energy density, no memory effect (except LFP battery) and low self-discharge. Lithium-ion battery provides a light weight and high energy density power supply for High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite).

Hydrogen and Helium Type

Hydrogen and helium are the most commonly used lifting gases. At higher altitude, the air pressure is lower, so the pressure inside the balloon is also lower. This means that while the mass of lifting gas and mass of displaced air for a given lift are the same as at lower altitude, the volume of the balloon is much greater at higher altitudes. High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) is designed as a balloon that can rise to the extreme altitude (stratosphere), and it must be able to expand greatly to discharge the required amount of air.

Fuel Gas Type

High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) uses fuel gas to provide energy and rise to high altitude. Many fuel gases are composed of hydrocarbons (such as methane or propane), hydrogen, carbon monoxide or their mixtures.

Application Overview:
