Validate in stratosphere, before you launch to orbit.
Test, iterate, and de-risk your space technology in near-space conditions before committing to orbital launch.
From stratosphere validation to orbital deployment
De-risk your orbital mission with iterative testing in near-space conditions.
Suborbital IOD

- Reduced mission risk
- Higher TRL achieved
- Proven operational procedures
- Investment-ready maturity
The stratosphere advantage
Iterative Testing
Test, learn, improve—then test again. Multiple validation cycles before orbital commitment.
Risk Reduction
Identify and resolve issues in a recoverable environment before the one-shot orbital launch.
Cost Efficiency
Validate at a fraction of orbital launch costs. Fail fast and cheap, succeed with confidence.
TRL Advancement
Mature your technology readiness level systematically in relevant environmental conditions.
Near-space conditions
The stratosphere provides orbital-like environmental stressors for validation.
What we provide
A simple, standardized approach for autonomous payload testing.
What’s Included
- Space allocation onboard (max 1kg payload)
- Flight to stratosphere (~30km altitude)
- Near-space environmental exposure
- Payload recovery after flight
- Basic flight data (altitude, temperature)
- Quarterly flight opportunities
Not Included
- Power supply to payload
- Real-time telemetry downlink
- Command and control interface
- Custom flight profiles
- Dedicated mission planning
- Mission-specific services
Autonomous payloads only. Your payload must operate independently without external power or communication during flight.
