Construction of a high tower to the stratosphere was first proposed by Canadian Thoth Company. Because of its enormous scale, people are hesitant to implement the project immediately. This paper proposes several next steps to its realization. Fundamental aspects of the structure are presented. Based on the models, treated are a long bridge over Tsugaru Straight, medium height towers for an inter-city rope way or a suspended rocket launcher in addition to the stratospheric tower. For a light weight structure, some inflatable models are tested to verify its effectiveness to the aerospace field of application.
