Some interesting information from Vern's website:
"Last year, we designed and began construction of a high altitude, solar powered telecommunications airship (platform) for a company back East. It was designed to fly at 65,000 feet and remain aloft for three hours. Initial parts fabrication was started at Redlands Municipal Airport in Redlands, CA, and assembly began at San Bernardino International Airport in San Bernardino, CA. The airship design endurance was increased from 3 hours at altitude to 8 days with the use of improved high capacity lithium storage batteries. The project was later taken over by NASA engineers and moved to better facilities in Palmdale, CA. The vehicle is scheduled to begin flight testing at Edwards AFB in June of 2006."
