H2APS is an innovative project that aims to develop a new lighter-than-air high-altitude pseudo-satellite platform. This platform will be designed to operate in the stratosphere for long periods of time and will be more cost-effective than traditional satellites.

H2APS will use a combination of technologies to achieve its goal, including:

Hydrogen: Hydrogen will be used to lift the platform to the stratosphere and as a backup power system.

Composite materials: The platform will be constructed from lightweight and strong composite materials.

Autonomous control systems: The platform will be equipped with autonomous control systems that will allow it to maintain its position and perform assigned tasks.

H2APS will have a wide range of potential applications, including:

Communications: The platform can be used to provide communications services to remote or underserved areas.

Surveillance: The platform can be used to monitor the environment or critical infrastructure.

Science: The platform can be used to conduct scientific research in the stratosphere.

H2APS will offer a number of benefits over traditional satellites, including:

Lower cost: H2APS will be cheaper to develop and launch than traditional satellites.

Greater flexibility: H2APS can be deployed and recovered more easily than traditional satellites.

Greater sustainability: H2APS will use more sustainable technologies than traditional satellites.

The H2APS project is being developed by a consortium of Spanish companies and institutions, led by CITD Engineering & Technologies. The project is funded by the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation.

The H2APS project is expected to have a significant impact on the Spanish aerospace industry. The project could help to position Spain as a leader in the development of new space technologies.

The H2APS project is an example of the innovation that is taking place in Spain in the aerospace sector. The project has the potential to revolutionize the way we use space and create new opportunities for Spanish industry.

In this project, Prosix contributes its knowledge and experience in composite materials and manufacturing.
