🚀 Eyes to the Sky! Last week, residents of Southwest Colorado looked up to see something curious drifting high above the San Juan Mountains—That was one of our stratospheric Thunderhead Balloon Systems on its way across the country! As noted in The Journal, our Thunderhead Balloon system was seen gracefully cruising at over 60,000 feet as part of a long-duration test flight headed east toward Florida. These balloons aren’t just beautiful—they’re powerful platforms for communications, remote sensing, and persistent situational awareness. Whether supporting wildfire response, enabling new research opportunities, or advancing the future of stratospheric operations, Aerostar’s balloon systems are proving just how much capability exists above the clouds. 📍 Read more about the flight and the curiosity it sparked in this great local write-up: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dEh7DKET #Aerostar #ThunderheadBalloon #StratosphericFlight #HighAltitude #PersistentCoverage #AerospaceInnovation #STEM #ColoradoSkies

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the privilege of engaging in two impactful professional experiences in my capacity as a Higher Airspace Operations (HAO) Technical Specialist. While working from the ICAO Headquarters in Montréal, I had the honor of attending the Air Traffic Management Requirements and Performance Panel (ATM-RPP). The panel’s ongoing work on the development of the HAO job card, complemented by an insightful session delivered by Bob Lee of the HAPS Alliance, enabled a dynamic exchange of knowledge and perspectives. It was truly inspiring to witness aviation diplomacy in action, where diverse stakeholders come together to shape a safer, more efficient, and sustainable global airspace. Following this, I had the opportunity to visit Aerostar in Sioux Falls, USA, where I collaborated with experts from Aerostar (Aerostar International LLC) and AeroVironment on technical discussions related to High-Altitude Balloon Operations (HABO). The visit included impressive live demonstrations, notably the launch of Aerostar’s Thunderhead Balloon, which showcased state-of-the-art advancements in stratospheric technology. These platforms present tremendous potential for enhancing global connectivity, environmental monitoring, and other critical applications aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). I extend my sincere appreciation to Russ Van Der Werff, Mark Ketcham, Mitchell Heilman of Aerostar (Aerostar International LLC) for their exceptional hospitality and to the HAPS Alliance for fostering meaningful collaboration and driving forward innovation in the high-altitude platform ecosystem. These experiences reaffirmed my conviction that bridging policy frameworks with emerging technologies is essential for unlocking the next chapter in aviation. #AviationDiplomacy #GlobalPolicy #AviationInnovation #HAPS #Aerospace #Collaboration #HighAltitudeOperations #FutureOfFlight #SustainableDevelopment

🌐 Not a UFO—Just Aerostar Innovation at Work! Recently, residents of Oahu spotted a mysterious light in the sky, sparking curiosity and speculation. We can confirm that this was one of our unmanned stratospheric balloons, part of ongoing research and development mission. KHON2 News Our stratospheric balloon systems are not typical weather balloons. They carry out a variety of missions, from providing mobile network coverage in the wake of a natural disaster to monitoring active wildfires. This particular flight over Hawaii is focused on testing the endurance of our flight systems. Our flights are equipped with transponders and operate in constant communication with the FAA. As the world leader in stratospheric technology, Aerostar launches and safely operates up to 200 flights every year, flying balloon systems across the U.S. and around the world. #Aerostar #StratosphericInnovation #HighAltitudeTechnology #AerospaceEngineering #HAPS #HABS https://lnkd.in/gSAEKdUx
