Abstract
The Earth observation industry has undergone a substantial transformation in the last decade. Until recently, Earth observation systems for the most critical commercial and institutional needs were mainly dedicated assets owned and operated by governments or big corporations, often at national level. Recent evolutions like the emergence of private investment and the development of appreciably cheaper instrumentation, systems and technologies in the field, such as the rise of CubeSats and SpaceX reusable launch rocket systems have disrupted the status quo into a new paradigm, labelled New Space. A possible further disruption into this new paradigm is the advent of High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS), also called Pseudo-Satellites. These systems feature unbeatable performance advantages in resolution and persistence at local observation against satellites. Nevertheless, no pseudo-satellite has yet been fully implemented, with a history of test failures and program funding terminations. This thesis explores the reasons for the technical lack of success of these initiatives (particularly an aeroelastic phenomenon called flutter) as well as reviews the necessary technologies needed for these systems to work, with a compilation of the past attempts through the scientific literature available. Finally, with a thorough examination of the economic and technological state of the art of the Earth observation industry and its applications, the study discusses the conditions under which the implementation of HAPS by an Earth observation company could be beneficial, making use of Alex Osterwalder's business model canvas methodology. Analysis demonstrates that HAPS companies could have the potential to disrupt the Earth observation industry through the implementation of videographic recording and real-time change monitoring, posing an attractive business case opportunity either for existing Earth observation companies or new entrants. So far, the constructors that have developed this technology the farthest are Thales Alenia Space with their aerostat system StratobusT'-1, as well as Airbus with their Zephyrnr UAV. Further research such a .. c.; financial budgeting and experimental results to prove client adoption should be carried out for companies interested in implementing these solutions.
