米国の航空宇宙企業Sceyeは、ニューメキシコ州から日本への往復を含む記録的な太平洋横断成層圏飛行を終え、Service Test 1(ST1)ミッションが米国に無事帰還したと発表した。この飛行は30日間、約3万キロメートルに及び、日本の領空で1週間以上にわたって運用され、Sceyeとパートナーのソフトバンク株式会社は、未改造デバイスへのダイレクト・トゥ・デバイス接続、ドローンとのHAPSベース通信、成層圏からのエッジコンピューティングを検証した。ST1は2026年8月9日に打ち上げられ、13日後に日本に到着し、2026年9月4日に米国本土に再進入した後、ニューメキシコ州モリアーティにあるSceyeの本社近くに着陸した。このミッションでは、テキスト、音声、インターネット、ビデオストリーミングを含むモバイルブロードバンドサービスを実証し、HAPSにモバイルコアネットワークとウェブサーバーを搭載した世界初の試みとして、クラウド処理と比較して遅延を40%以上削減した。Sceyeのプラットフォームは、約500の地上タワーに相当するエリアをカバーするように設計されており、成層圏インフラの商業展開に向けたマイルストーンとなる。
