Impressive sight: the Japanese have created the world’s first space airship

Scientists plan to go into space on a new ship in 2018.

Three engineers from Japan introduced public prototype of a new airship, in which they plan to fly into space by 2018.

Its principle of operation, their development resembles a blimp of the past centuries. However, the whole shell was made of composite materials to ensure reliability and durability. This in turn will also allow you to fly a ship in space. According to scientists from Japan, to stay in open space they will be able not more than 3 days.

This is due to the inability to stock large quantities of oxygen in cylinders when climbing to such heights. In addition, their development has been appreciated by our American colleagues. It is believed that with the support of NASA, they can do refueling on the ISS, however, in calculations of this idea, Japanese engineers did not take.
