Iran Space Research Center to Build Com. Airship

The Iranian Space Research Center is planning to build an airship, head of the center said. 
Feasibility studies have begun and the project will become operational soon, Hossein Samimi told Mehr News Agency.
"The airship is more advanced compared to communication balloons for providing communication and Internet services during emergencies," he said.
In most developed countries when communication towers and ground-based telecom infrastructure do not operate properly during natural disasters, satellite communication technologies are employed.
