FIG. 5A illustrates an example aircraft 500a, such as, for example, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. The UAV may be autonomous, remotely piloted, or both. FIG. 5B illustrates an example communication balloon 500b that includes a balloon 502, an equipment box 504, and solar panels 506. The equipment box 504 may also include batteries to store power and the communication device 200 to communicate with other devices (e.g., other HAPs 500, satellites 400, stationary terminals 300). The solar panels 506 may power the equipment box 504.
