ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Stratellite

Okay kiddo, so you know how you like to play with your toy airplanes and look up in the sky to see real ones flying above us? Well, there's something even cooler that can fly really high in the sky, it's called a Stratellite!

A Stratellite is a special kind of aircraft, but instead of having people or cargo on it like a regular plane, it's just full of special equipment that can do all kinds of things like take pictures, provide internet service or even help with disaster relief efforts!

But, what makes a Stratellite really special is where it flies, it goes way up high in the sky, like 12 miles high! That's higher than the tallest mountain in the world! It can stay up there for a really long time, like months or even years, because it doesn't need to come back down to land like regular planes.

Another cool thing about a Stratellite is that it can stay in one spot in the sky for a long time like a satellite, but it's different because it's not in space, it's just up really high! That way, it can help people on the ground who need things like internet or communication, and the people on the ground can always count on it being there when they need it.

So, that's what a Stratellite is, a really high-flying aircraft with special equipment on it that can do all kinds of awesome things, and it can stay up there for a really long time, like a floating satellite!
