Since 2012, World View has led the way in remote sensing and Earth observation from stratospheric high-altitude platforms (HAPs), with demonstrated accomplishments for a variety of scientific, commercial and government organizations. Our proprietary stratospheric balloon flight technology delivers better insights with far lower costs and lead times than satellites and other traditional aerial sources.
World View’s remotely-navigated Stratollite® flies five times closer to Earth than a satellite, capturing high-resolution imagery with much greater detail. And since it can persist over an area for weeks at a time, it provides a clearer picture of changes on the ground than a satellite that only flies over the area at the same time every day.

Our patented remote sensing and navigational systems have been proven safe, versatile and supremely capable, flight after flight.
Our high-resolution electro-optical, infrared, radar, hyperspectral and other remote sensing capabilities can deliver a wealth of insights across a range of applications. From helping agricultural yields to less-invasive energy and mineral exploration to tracking wildfires, storm systems and greenhouse gasses.
We are always looking for new, innovative ways to observe and protect our planet. Here are just some of our current and developing capabilities.
Tracking high-value assets across broad distances.
Supporting important missions from national security to environmental monitoring to humanitarian relief.
Collecting data to identify, monitor and measure the environmental impacts of climate change.
Ensuring continuity and detecting anomalies in distribution processes.
Aiding in the discovery of resources without disrupting geologic areas.
Observing and analyzing the condition of broad swaths of crop land.
Detecting leaks, theft and line breaks in critical energy infrastructure.
Providing detection and constant monitoring of natural disasters – even at night or in adverse conditions.
Tracking and monitoring shipping and other activity across vast oceanic territory.
Using telecommunication beacons to improve wireless connectivity around the globe.
Detecting and measuring methane emissions in remote, hard-to-monitor areas.
Tracking high-value assets across broad distances.
