“We deliver valuable insight to enterprises, agencies, and individuals via two primary business segments: Stratollite un-crewed flight systems and Explorer human spaceflight systems.
The Stratollite is an unprecedented un-crewed stratospheric vehicle that delivers payloads to the near-space environment with revolutionary control capabilities. The vehicle provides navigational steering over large distances and persistent flight over specified areas of interest for days, weeks, and months on end, all at a fraction of the cost of comparable technologies like geo-stationary satellites, LEO satellites, and high-altitude drones. Stratollites are already in operation today, with applications spanning remote sensing, communications, weather, and research.
The Explorer human spaceflight experience is under development and commercial flights begin in 2024, offering private citizens a comfortable, safe, and perspective-changing voyage to the edge of space via a high-altitude balloon. These flights will depart from 7 locations around the world including Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, Serengeti, Aurora Borealis, Amazonia, Great Wall of China, and Giza Pyramids.”
