Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to aviation communications are included. A computing device can receive position data indicating a position of an aerial vehicle. The position can include an altitude. The computing device can determine, from a plurality of possible airspace classifications, a first airspace classification at the position of the aerial vehicle, where each airspace classification specifies one or more communication parameters for communication within an associated airspace. The computing device can select, from a plurality of communication repositories, a first communication repository that is associated with the first airspace classification, where each communication repository specifies a set of pre-defined communication components for at least one associated airspace classification. The computing device can generate a communication related to the aerial vehicle using the first communication repository. The computing device can send the generated communication to at least one recipient.

Abstract: The present technology provides power generation using thermoradiative cell (TRC) structures, which generate electricity by radiating heat from a hotter area/body to a cooler area/body. The TRC structures may be used in conjunction with photovoltaic (PV) cells on a common platform as a power generation system. In some scenarios, the platform may be a high altitude platform (HAP). Here, the TRC structures may be arranged or aligned to radiate heat towards space or otherwise in a direction generally away from the Earth's surface. The electricity generated by the TRC structures is provided to a power supply, for instance to recharge batteries of the power supply. The TRC structures may be intersubband TRC structures. In some configurations, the TRC structures are co-located on the same side of a panel as the PV cells. In other configurations, the TRC structures are remote from the PV cells.
