Congratulations on your literal launch! Some questions:

- Does the blimp need to be in the vicinity of a base station or human operator to function?

- How fast does the blimp move?

- Any consideration of using this technology to inspect wind/solar farms?

For now yes we make flight with human pilots nearby. Soon we will do beyond visual line of sight flights!

It moves quite slowly our cruise speed is between 8 to 11 m/s.

Yeah! We've had some interest to do that!
