OUR MISSION
Zephalto Industry was created after discovering the potential of the stratosphere for technological innovation and scientific research.
We specialise in designing stratospheric balloons, carrying payloads and setting up test platforms at very high altitudes in near-space conditions. By offering controlled access to the stratosphere, we enable laboratories, manufacturers and institutions to test their technologies, analyse the atmosphere in real time and collect essential data.
Our commitment is to scientific precision, operational flexibility and a sustainable approach to atmospheric exploration.
TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Zephalto Industry offers a sustainable alternative to in-orbit testing, reducing the costs and carbon footprint of aerospace experiments, as well as a new terrain for exploring and understanding our planet. By making it easier to study the climate and optimise communication technologies, the company combines innovation and environmental responsibility to meet the scientific and industrial challenges of tomorrow.
ZEPHALTO INNOVATION
We are shaping the future of aeronautical and environmental research by positioning the stratosphere as a territory of innovation that is finally accessible.
STRATOSPHERIC ENVELOPE
Our patented reusable balloon, manufactured and designed in-house for all envelope sizes.
MANOEUVRING SYSTEM
Controlling altitude allows for long missions that can be carried out with greater precision.
PRESSURIZED CAPSULE
Integrated and assembled in our workshop, our capsules can carry people and equipment.
OUR VISION
By pushing back the limits of scientific experimentation and technological testing, we are contributing to a better understanding of the climate, improving communication systems and validating new technologies for space exploration.
Zephalto’s ambition is to turn the stratosphere into an open laboratory, accelerating scientific advances while ensuring minimal impact on our planet.
