TECHNOLOGY VALIDATION
We use the stratosphere as a unique test environment to accelerate technology development, test instrumented payloads, and validate operational concepts. Our pressurized capsule allows for rapid test bed reconfiguration, optimizing the integration of your payloads and the collection of specific data.
ACCESS TO A NEW FRONTIER
- Optics and observation: validating sensors, testing telescopes and multispectral instruments.
- Telecommunications: experimentation with antennas and transmission systems.
- Aerospace: study of aerodynamic profiles, atmospheric re-entry tests with nearly 4 minutes of free fall
Our balloons carry up to 2 tonnes of payload, with the option of exclusivity. Operators can embark in pressurised capsule to supervise equipment and experiments in real time.
CUSTOM DESIGN
The quickest way to test or use systems with a low Technical Readiness Level, our stratospheric test bench allows for :
- Simplified access to the stratosphere: faster and cheaper than space missions.
- Customized expertise: design and manufacture of balloons or capsules tailored to your needs.
- Reduced environmental impact: no debris in orbit, controlled carbon emissions.
- Optimized payload recovery: smooth return to the ground under balloon.
Zephalto Industry takes your payload on board a stratospheric balloon for missions lasting from a few hours to several weeks, with specifications and integration validated jointly and a detailed operational procedure.
Significantly accelerate your technology development cycle and move from the conceptual research phase to field validation.
USE CASES
Optical and spectroscopic sensors
A company specialising in earth observation satellites is developing a new multispectral sensor designed to measure air quality and greenhouse gas concentrations. Before sending it into orbit, the company needs to ensure that it performs under real conditions, particularly in terms of sensitivity and calibration.
The sensor is embedded in a stratospheric balloon and deployed at an altitude of 25 km. This position is ideal, as it is above 98% of the atmosphere, eliminating most atmospheric interference while remaining close enough to the Earth to validate the resolution and accuracy of the measurements.
Long-range communication
A telecommunications start-up is developing a new-generation antenna designed to provide connectivity in remote areas. Before it can be deployed on a drone or satellite, it needs to test its performance at high altitude, where pressure and temperature conditions influence wave propagation.
The antenna is mounted on a stratospheric platform, enabling it to be tested in an environment free from terrestrial interference. Data is transmitted in real time to assess range, signal stability and resistance to extreme conditions.
