The Aero-WAVE mission is presented as a preliminary and introductory test to provide the necessary measures leading to the development of the primary mission into GEO orbit. Aero-WAVE is a scientific payload that operates in W-band. It will be embarked onboard a stratospheric platform or High Altitude Platform (HAP) in order to perform a first test of the channel behavior at an altitude of about 20 km. The stratospheric platform is a high altitude aircraft known as the M-55 Geophysica, a Russian aircraft well known in the atmospheric research environment and the European scientific community since 1996. The M-55 Geophysica will be equipped with the payload instrumentation to carry out the measurements. These measurements and the resulting data provided throughout the Aero-WAVE mission will give good indications of the channel behavior at different weather conditions and at different locations within the GEO-WAVE coverage.

Abstract
The Aero-WAVE mission is presented as a preliminary and introductory test to provide the necessary measures leading to the development of the primary mission into GEO orbit. Aero-WAVE is a scientific payload that operates in W-band. It will be embarked onboard a stratospheric platform or High Altitude Platform (HAP) in order to perform a first test of the channel behavior at an altitude of about 20 km. The stratospheric platform is a high altitude aircraft known as the M-55 Geophysica, a Russian aircraft well known in the atmospheric research environment and the European scientific community since 1996. The M-55 Geophysica will be equipped with the payload instrumentation to carry out the measurements. These measurements and the resulting data provided throughout the Aero-WAVE mission will give good indications of the channel behavior at different weather conditions and at different locations within the GEO-WAVE coverage.
