Custom Missions

Access the stratosphere for your next mission

Reach Out
Gap
Access to orbit is slow, expensive, and limited. Launching a satellite can take years and millions in development, while drones and aircraft cannot reach the required altitude or sustain operations long enough to provide persistent, wide-area insight
Drones
Drones lack altitude, endurance, and coverage. They operate locally, for short durations, and cannot provide persistent or wide-area intelligence
Satellites
Satellite missions require massive upfront investment. Launch, deployment, and operations come with high costs, long timelines, and limited flexibility once in orbit
Opportunity

Stratospheric balloons close this gap

The stratosphere is where Earth meets space - an environment harsh enough to replicate orbital conditions, yet close enough for rapid, repeatable, and sustainable launches

20-30 km Altitude
Near-space environment for testing, observation, and research
Persistent Vantage Point
Stable atmospheric layer enabling long-duration, continuous monitoring
Wide-Area Coverage
Regional-scale visibility without orbital constraints
Solution

Custom Stratospheric Missions

Operating between 20 and 30 km altitude, our custom stratospheric missions provide rapid access to near-space for testing, Earth observation, ISR, and research, at a fraction of the cost and lead time of orbital systems

Configurable missions
Each flight is engineered around your specific objectives and operational constraints
Rapid deployment
Short lead times enable fast iteration and timely mission execution
Real-time tracking
Platforms are continuously monitored throughout the mission lifecycle

Resolution

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.
