Scalable Technology

By leveraging additive manufacturing, hydrogen for buoyancy and drone-based electronics, reusable smart balloons can be built for thousands of dollars that previously would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The units contain advanced compute and cameras that offer drone-like performance for detecting ground conditions in both day- and nighttime. The compute allows the platforms to steer autonomously, independently calculating their trajectories based upon weather reports and their own sensing instruments.

The result is a platform capable of cheaply and precisely reaching its destination.

Wayfinding in the Wind

Proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms and massive sourcing of weather data allows the platforms to intelligently choose altitudes with wind directions that quickly get them to their target.

The platforms carry their own wind sensors and can update the trajectories in real-time whenever they encounter winds that differ from the expected direction or strength. This does not require communication with the ground, offering instant reaction and avoids drifting off course.
