Stratoship (D10x)

Bringing the Stratosphere Within Reach | stratoship.au

Stratoship is filling the gap between satellites above and terrestrial sites and aircraft below. Our payload-agnostic platform can hold equipment 20 km high - twice the height of airliners. This sweet spot offers persistent satellite-like positioning over a localised, dedicated area, without the need for space launch, and without having to put up with pesky orbiting.

We’re getting enquiries across Earth Observation, RF applications, and space payload testing. We're dedicated to making our dual-use solution commercially viable and attractive to end users. Our strategy is focused on commercial sustainability as a foundation from which to service Defence uses.
