Our Stratollites operate in the stratosphere, capturing high-resolution imagery with much greater detail than satellites with the ability to persist over an area-of-interest. We do this by utilizing the directional winds offered in the stratosphere at different altitudes. We ascend or descend to the target altitude that is offering the desired wind direction for our flight path. We control our altitude by increasing or decreasing the pressure in our super-pressure ballast balloons. *Video shows stratospheric winds at two different altitudes. #worldview #remotesensing #scienceexplained #stratosphere #stratosphericballoon #highaltitudeballoon #howitworks stratospheric balloon | remote sensing | stratosphere | earth imaging | ISR | high-altitude balloon | stratocraft

We have successfully validated a re-engineered super-pressure ballast balloon system, marking a significant milestone in our high-altitude balloon technology. The system, tested during two Q3 2024 flights, demonstrated improved flight duration, performance, and precision control. Read the full update: https://lnkd.in/g6GWwhUT

Welcome to Tucson, Arizona, home to our stratospheric headquarters. 🌵 We're proud to call this city–and Spaceport Tucson–home, where high-altitude exploration and innovation take flight. #SpaceportTucson #WorldView #TucsonAZ #HighAltitudeExploration #EdgeOfSpace

The stratospheric balloon industry lost a titan. Rodger Farley, World View’s former Chief Systems Engineer for Balloon Design, Performance and Flight Dynamics, passed away last week. Rodger’s innumerable contributions led to the early design of World View’s stratospheric vehicles, and his pioneering flight simulation software has been invaluable to the development and operation of World View’s Stratollites. His contributions to stratospheric flight science and system design of controlled, lighter-than-air vehicles capable of station-keeping in the stratosphere earned him the 2018 Engineer of the Year award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Rodger’s earlier contributions to high-altitude balloon programs include his career as the super-pressure balloon developer for NASA where he also designed spacecraft, deployable structures and mechanisms. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the high-altitude balloon community where his passing leaves a remarkable void. We are honored to have worked side-by-side with Rodger, and we will endeavor to continue the legacy he has left behind.

Filling the gap in the remote sensing ecosystem with high-altitude balloon technology. 🎈🌎 World View’s stratospheric balloons offer a unique perspective, delivering timely insights where traditional satellites and aircraft can’t. Our high-altitude balloons are a perfect complement to any multi-domain remote sensing strategy. #StratosphericBalloon #worldview #remotesensing #AerialSurveillance #highaltitudeballoon #stratosphere

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Wes Kremer, former President of Raytheon Missiles and Defense. His contributions to the aerospace and defense industry, particularly his tireless efforts to advance innovation and excellence, have left an indelible mark on all of us who follow in his footsteps. As a titan in the Tucson aerospace community, Wes not only shaped the future of our industry but also inspired countless individuals with his vision, leadership, and unwavering dedication. His legacy will continue to serve as a guiding light for our community and beyond. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the entire Raytheon Missiles and Defense team during this difficult time. We are honored to have shared in the same mission he championed, and we will strive to uphold the high standards he set.
