Meet the Gryphon Stratollite ®, our most versatile class of altitude-control Stratollites designed to operate between 45K – 75K feet. This system features our proprietary, Rapid React altitude-control system to navigate, station keep and persist. System Breakdown: ° Zero-pressure lift balloon filled with helium gas to lift system ° Ballast balloon pressurizes and depressurizes for variable ballast ° Rotator orients solar arrays toward sun for maximum payload power ° The Stratocraft houses mission payload(s), avionics, communications systems, batteries and more #worldview #remotesensing #scienceexplained #stratosphere #stratosphericballoon #highaltitudeballoon

About us
We deliver valuable insight to enterprises, agencies, and individuals via two primary business segments: Stratollite un-crewed flight systems and Explorer human spaceflight systems. The Stratollite is an unprecedented un-crewed stratospheric vehicle that delivers payloads to the near-space environment with revolutionary control capabilities. The vehicle provides navigational steering over large distances and persistent flight over specified areas of interest for days, weeks, and months on end, all at a fraction of the cost of comparable technologies like geo-stationary satellites, LEO satellites, and high-altitude drones. Stratollites are already in operation today, with applications spanning remote sensing, communications, weather, and research. The Explorer human spaceflight experience is under development and commercial flights begin in 2024, offering private citizens a comfortable, safe, and perspective-changing voyage to the edge of space via a high-altitude balloon. These flights will depart from 7 locations around the world including Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, Serengeti, Aurora Borealis, Amazonia, Great Wall of China, and Giza Pyramids.

Continuing tradition, our team designs a mission patch for each World View flight. The design reflects the unique goals and objectives of that mission. Each patch design includes symbolism that represents the payloads, sensors and customer(s) involved. For every flight, the patch is attached to the vehicle before launch, hung in mission control for the duration of the mission, and is distributed to employees and mission customers. Check out some of our recent flight patch designs! #worldview #remotesensing #flightpatch #stratosphericballoon #highaltitudeballoon #missionpatch #missiontradition
