Flight Architecture
The inflatable architecture incorporates three separate components to achieve orbit. This is primarily due to the different constraints on airships in the lower atmosphere versus the constraints on airships in the upper atmosphere. The full course of the process involves the Ascender, the Dark Sky Station, and the Orbital Ascender.

Famous quotes containing the words flight and/or architecture:
“AIDS was ... an illness in stages, a very long flight of steps that led assuredly to death, but whose every step represented a unique apprenticeship. It was a disease that gave death time to live and its victims time to die, time to discover time, and in the end to discover life.”
—Hervé Guibert (1955–1991)
“And when his hours are numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
