Tethers used for both mooring the aerostat envelope to ground equipment and for transmitting power and data A launching platform, which sometimes doubles as the mooring station A mooring station for controlling the inflated aerostat envelope prior to launch A means for transporting the system, such as a truck and/or trailer These balloons, usually referred to as envelopes, come in different shapes, sizes, and designs, which are determined by mission, payload, and logistical factors. The key component is a balloon filled with lighter-than-air gas that enables the system to take flight and remain aloft. A tethered aerostat system requires a number of components to be fully operational. Tethered aerostats are unmanned balloons that use lighter-than-air gases such as helium to take flight and remain aloft while moored by ground equipment.
