FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - December 23, 2009) - Sanswire Corp. (OTCBB: [ SNSR ]) today announced that video footage of the STS-111 UAV in flight testing has been released to their website [ www.Sanswire.com ]. The flight video highlights a recent demonstration of the company's lighter-than-air STS-111 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The video was shot during a private event held on December 18, 2009, in Stuttgart, Germany.

Captain David Christian, CEO of Sanswire, said, "The video clearly shows off the STS-111 to great advantage. Viewers get a real sense of how the unique segmented design functions, how maneuverable the aircraft is, and how this platform can provide intelligence and surveillance support for military and Homeland Security missions."

The STS-111 UAV is designed to rapidly unfold from its standard-size crate and launched with minimal ground infrastructure and crew. The STS-111 can carry various payloads of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and communications equipment, and provide operational line of sight of up to 170-miles. The airship is capable of fulfilling a range of mission profiles at mid altitudes, performing both persistent loitering and racetrack operations nonstop for an estimated two and a half days.
