We exist to inspire, create, and explore new perspectives for a radically improved future.
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.

Meet our Tycho Stratollite®, World View’s class of zero-pressure balloon Stratollites designed for short-duration, heavy-lift, high-altitude flights. Requiring a smaller launch and recovery effort than our Gryphon system, it is engineered for flight durations up to 6 hours with a max altitude of up to 140K feet. System Breakdown: - Zero-pressure lift balloon filled with helium gas to lift the system - The Stratocraft houses mission payload(s), avionics, communications systems, batteries and more #worldview #remotesensing #scienceexplained #stratosphere #stratosphericballoon #highaltitudeballoon

A behind-the-scenes look at the preparation and integration for our TechRise 3 mission. It is an incredible honor to fly the payloads of over 30 student teams from around the country! Students in grades 6 to 12 from schools all around the United States were challenged to team up with their classmates to design a stratospheric payload. The challenge offered participants hands-on insight into the payload design process, with the goal of inspiring a deeper understanding of space exploration, Earth observation, coding, electronics, and the value of test data. #NASAStudentChallenge #TechRiseChallenge #FutureEngineers #NASAArmstrong #stratosphericballoon #highaltitudeballoon #studentengineers

Our team is made of visionaries with deep experience and expertise pioneering stratospheric exploration and flight. We are driven by more than a flight manifest. We are guided by a manifesto that mandates how we treat ourselves, our teammates, our communities and our planet. #worldview #remotesensing #tucson #stratosphericballoon #highaltitudeballoon #arizonajobs #tucsonaz #spaceporttucson

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

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
