Access to Space
Want to get to space? Our high-altitude platform grants access to a uniquely valuable region of the atmosphere for space research, satellite and avionics component testing and product ruggedness validation.
For aerospace companies that require validation of their technology to secure investment, we can reduce testing wait times and costs and generate valuable publicity for your enterprise.
Design and Development
Our stratospheric weather balloon platform is fully customisable to conduct your Near Space research and development activities.
Our in-house engineers are able to design, develop and manufacture almost anything you might need for stratospheric testing or high-altitude applications.
Working closely with our extended contacts, we produce electronics or structural components that can help develop your research needs, including sensor arrays, remote-operated mechanisms and onboard software to deliver accurate, rapid, and reliable results.
High-Altitude Platforms
We provide a system-agnostic platform for your equipment to travel into space.
This includes power and real-time communications for the duration of the flight. For heavy payloads, we can carry up to 2 metric tonnes from one of our remote launch sites in Europe and North America.
Whatever you need carrying to space, for whatever purpose, our engineers are here to help.
Environmental Validation
The Near Space environment offers a great opportunity to conduct holistic performance testing rapidly, at a lower cost and with lower access requirements than a thermalvac chamber or sounding rocket.
A faster iterative development loop between TRL5 and TRL7 means quicker feedback, reduced development times and reduced risk of wasteful testing further down the line. A failed near space test doesn't mean a two-year wait to get another space launch booked. Representative environmental testing bridges the gap between ground-based trials and In-orbit deployment, allowing for rapid iteration and innovation via Near Space research.
Near Space validation also offers an undervalued benefit: capturing genuine data and visual evidence of your product operating in a representative environment does more to inspire stakeholder potential investor's confidence than a thousand ground-based metrics. From Seed to Series C investing, having a true image of your product in space is a sure-fire way to get investors to take notice.
