Autonomous stratospheric balloon systems for real-time Earth observation.
At 20 km above Earth, our platforms operate in the stratosphere, where satellites cannot see in detail and drones cannot reach. Each flight is guided by Neurostar, our AI system that reads global wind patterns and adjusts altitude to follow the most efficient path.
System Architecture
Every mission starts with a stratospheric balloon carrying a modular payload. Three core systems form a self-steering platform that can remain afloat for weeks, collecting, processing, and transmitting data in real time.
Stratospheric Balloon
The stratospheric balloon provides access to a stable altitude layer between Earth and space. It enables long-duration missions with wide-area coverage.
Gondola
The gondola is a modular, self-contained payload platform designed to host sensors, onboard computing, and communication systems. It supports continuous data acquisition, processing, and transmission throughout the mission lifecycle.
Neurostar® AI
Our wind-navigation intelligence that autonomously adjusts altitude to catch the right atmospheric currents and maintain direction. By exploiting wind layers at different altitudes, it enables controlled positioning and long-duration station-keeping over a target area.
Two systems built on the same core foundation
StratoStats®
Designed for sustained stratospheric operations, Stratostats enables high-value observation and scientific missions that require persistence, control, and continuous data collection.
StratoRelay®
Optimized for fast and lightweight deployments, Stratorelay is built for rapid mapping and situational awareness where speed, simplicity, and cost efficiency matter most.
Our Competitive Advantage
Persistent coverage
Flexible payload integration
Cost efficiency
High Resolution, Real Time Data
Operating in the stratosphere enables significantly higher spatial resolution than satellites, while covering far wider areas than drones. This altitude layer delivers detailed, actionable imagery with lower cost, faster deployment, and greater operational flexibility.

Near-Real Time
The stratosphere as a service layer
We turn the stratosphere into a programmable layer between Earth and decisions, combining traditional data with controlled, persistent stratospheric sensing to deliver real-time operational answers.
