主权项 1. A stratospheric-visit system, relating to a stratospheric visit using lighter-than-air travel, comprising: a) a payload system structured and arranged to provide at least one payload including i) at least one human, andii) at least one parachute system; b) a launch system structured and arranged to launch the at least one payload; c) wherein said launch system comprises i) a lighter-than-air propulsion system structured and arranged to lighter-than-air-propel the at least one payload,ii) a tethering system structured and arranged to tether, initially to ground, said lighter-than-air propulsion system, andiii) an un-tethering system structured and arranged to un-tether, from the ground, said lighter-than-air propulsion system; d) an environmental control system structured and arranged to control, during the stratospheric visit, at least one human-life-support environment of the at least one human; e) a travel control system structured and arranged to control, in the stratospheric visit, travel of the at least one payload; f) a communication system structured and arranged to communicate within said stratospheric-visit system; and g) a recovery system structured and arranged to recover at least the at least one human; h) wherein said recovery system comprises i) a separator system structured and arranged to perform separation of at least the at least one human from said lighter-than-air propulsion system,ii) the parachute system structured and arranged to decelerate at least the at least one human after the separation of at least the at least one human from said lighter-than-air propulsion system, andiii) a landing system structured and arranged to assist landing of at least the at least one human; and i) a parachute pre-deploying system structured and arranged to deploy, prior to the launch of the at least one payload, said parachute system.
