Urban Sky was founded in 2019 with the goal of increasing access to the stratosphere, and reducing the cost of remote sensing through balloon miniaturization and new approaches to balloon control. In 2020 Urban Sky began routine stratospheric operations and became the first company ever to reuse a stratospheric balloon. [3] [7]
The Explorer human spaceflight experience (so called by World View, even though the flight would not reach space by any standards) is under development with the goal of carrying private individuals to approximately 100,000 ft (30.48 km) above Earth inside a pressurized capsule lofted by a helium-filled high-altitude balloon.
The balloon will test changes in aerosols in the stratosphere. One thing scientists, conservationists and researchers are clear on is that solar geoengineering is not a get-out-of-jail card for ...
The scientific payload that was attached to the space balloon. The Malta 2021 Stratospheric Balloon was a stratospheric upper-atmosphere weather balloon launched on 13 August 2021 from the Esplora Complex in the small, island-nation of Malta.
The balloons can be launched from the back of a pickup truck in less than 10 minutes. - Urban Sky
The balloon will be launched into the upper stratosphere, where it will pop and release its gas. That gas will ever-so-slightly reflect back the sun’s rays, infinitesimally cooling the Earth.
Explorer II was a crewed U.S. high-altitude balloon that was launched on November 11, 1935, and reached a record altitude of 22,066 m (72,395 ft). Launched at 8:00 am from the Stratobowl in South Dakota, the helium balloon carried a two-man crew consisting of U. S. Army Air Corps Captains Albert W. Stevens and Orvil A. Anderson inside a sealed, spherical cabin.
A Loon balloon at the Christchurch launch event in June 2013. Loon LLC was an Alphabet Inc. subsidiary working on providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. The company used high-altitude balloons in the stratosphere at an altitude of 18 km (11 mi) to 25 km (16 mi) to create an aerial wireless network with up to 1 Mbit/s speeds.
