STRATOSpHERIC REMOTE SENSING BUILT FOR MISSION TEMPO
STRATOSpHERIC REMOTE SENSING BUILT FOR MISSION TEMPO
World View’s high-altitude balloons provide persistent observation and flexible multi-sensor payload capacity. Powered by World View's unified intelligence platform, decision makers get integrated multi-domain and multi-modal inputs that lead to faster, decision-ready insights.
Focused on the future of
high-altitude platforms
World View’s remotely-navigated Stratollite® flies five times closer to Earth than a satellite, capturing high-resolution imagery with much greater detail. And since it can persist over an area for weeks at a time, it provides a clearer picture of changes on the ground than a satellite that only flies over the area at the same time every day.
30 DAYS
CONSTANT OBSERVATION FOR WEEKS
5 cm/PX
GROUND SAMPLING DISTANCE AT 50K-70K FEET
We are building new stratospheric solutions and tapping the full potential of this incredible frontier.
We are pushing the limits of what's possible and exploring new horizons along the way.
We are unlocking novel, high-value data that was previously unavailable or too difficult or expensive to procure.
Welcome to the stratospheric economy.
Flight-proven technology
Our patented remote sensing and navigational systems have been proven safe, versatile and supremely capable, flight after flight.
5cm/pixel ground sampling distance (GSD) at 50-70K feet (5x higher resolution than satellite imagery).
Industry-leading size, weight and power (SWaP) that can fly multiple sensors on a single vehicle.
Maintain 40km-80km station-keeping radius for days to weeks at a time.
Patented parafoil landing system provides gentle touchdown to keep payloads safe.
Missions of up to 30 days of continuous flight.
Patented altitude control system for precision guidance in the stratosphere’s four-direction winds.
Patented system and modular design allow for easy customization.
We customize each mission to meet your specific success parameters.
Fly the most updated technology on short timelines.
Keep a watchful eye on Earth
We are always looking for new, innovative ways to observe and protect our planet. Here are just some of our current and developing capabilities.
