        "abstract": "The \"Airships: A New Horizon for Science\" study at the Keck Institute for\nSpace Studies investigated the potential of a variety of airships currently\noperable or under development to serve as observatories and science\ninstrumentation platforms for a range of space, atmospheric, and Earth science.\nThe participants represent a diverse cross-section of the aerospace sector,\nNASA, and academia. Over the last two decades, there has been wide interest in\ndeveloping a high altitude, stratospheric lighter-than-air (LTA) airship that\ncould maneuver and remain in a desired geographic position (i.e.,\n\"station-keeping\") for weeks, months or even years. Our study found\nconsiderable scientific value in both low altitude (< 40 kft) and high altitude\n(> 60 kft) airships across a wide spectrum of space, atmospheric, and Earth\nscience programs. Over the course of the study period, we identified\nstratospheric tethered aerostats as a viable alternative to airships where\nstation-keeping was valued over maneuverability. By opening up the sky and\nEarth's stratospheric horizon in affordable ways with long-term flexibility,\nairships allow us to push technology and science forward in a project-rich\nenvironment that complements existing space observatories as well as aircraft\nand high-altitude balloon missions.",
