Problem
Traditional Earth observation methods using satellites and aircraft can be expensive and lack the flexibility for frequent, targeted data collection. This limits the ability to monitor rapidly changing events, validate aerospace technologies in near-space conditions, and conduct timely environmental research.
Solution
Involve Space offers stratospheric pseudo-satellites utilizing reusable balloon technology as a cost-effective and sustainable platform for Earth observation, flight validation, and scientific research. Their Stratostats platform consists of AI-driven pseudo-satellites that lift various payloads into the stratosphere, providing persistent, high-resolution monitoring capabilities. The LoonHive system uses a swarm of stratospheric balloons for decentralized coverage. They also offer Da Vinci Caelum, a DIY kit for conducting environmental and atmospheric research, enabling researchers and students to perform stratospheric launches and test technologies.
Target Audience
The primary customers include organizations in Earth observation, defense, science, and telecommunications, as well as schools, universities, and research institutions.
