OBSERVE, ACT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth observation is a fundamental pillar of resource management, environmental monitoring and territorial security. At a time when climate change, increasing urbanisation and geopolitical tensions are redefining our priorities, rapid access to accurate data is becoming essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

THE STRATOSPHERE: A STRATEGIC ZONE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Satellites in orbit <\/strong>provide a global view, but their frequency of passage, cloud cover, and resolution limit observation. Drones and aircraft <\/strong>offer detailed observation but do not provide broad and persistent coverage. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Stratosphere<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The stratosphere becomes the optimal compromise: a global view that is not subject to orbital constraints, while offering superior resolution and flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"Access<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

A CHALLENGING ROUTE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, access is constrained by technological, logistical and regulatory challenges, for which we deploy advanced systems and strict coordination with the aviation authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our stratospheric balloons are capable of operating at very high altitudes, in hostile environmental conditions<\/strong> (intense cold, low pressure, high UV exposure), while guaranteeing stability and control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

ACCURACY AND DETAIL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our stratospheric balloons can reach altitudes of up to 35 km, above 98% of the atmosphere. This position offers ideal conditions for imaging and data collection: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

On-board operator<\/strong>: Unique on the industry, the presence of an operator means that parameters can be adjusted in real time, ensuring optimum data collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide, precise coverage<\/strong>: At an altitude high enough to observe entire regions with finer resolution than a satellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-term observation<\/strong>: Unlike orbiting satellites, our balloons can provide long-term surveillance of a targeted area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On-board hyperspectral and multispectral sensors<\/strong>: For detailed analysis of soil, vegetation, water and infrastructure, with unrivalled image quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Application<\/div>\n

Hyperspectral sensor<\/h3>\n

A hyperspectral sensor under development, still at an early stage of technological maturity (low TRL), is being taken on board a Zephalto<\/strong> flight to be tested in near-space conditions. Thanks to optimised stabilisation and a direct connection with the on-board operator<\/strong>, the sensor’s parameters can be adjusted in real time to improve its performance. This approach allows for accelerated validation<\/strong> before deployment in orbit, while offering an agile and flexible alternative<\/strong> to traditional space tests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Read<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n
Application<\/div>\n

Satellite recalibration<\/h3>\n

Stratospheric balloons can serve as a point of comparison<\/strong> for satellites already in orbit. By taking simultaneous measurements from the stratosphere and from space, it is possible to refine the accuracy of the data collected<\/strong> and correct any instrumental biases. <\/p>\n

Zephalto can also calibrate transmission systems <\/strong>by acting as a relay between ground stations and orbiting satellites, ensuring better synchronisation <\/strong>of signals and a reduction in transmission errors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Read<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n
