What is Strat-Observer?
Strat-Observer revolutionises Earth observation by providing a global service providing live video and images taken from the stratosphere. Its embedded optical payload is designed to fly on any type of High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS), such as Zephyr and balloons.
Strat-Observer joins the already world-leading Airbus Constellation of optical and radar satellites, offering enhanced performance and opening up a whole new range of applications and use-cases for persistent, live-streamed geo-information and intelligence.
Features
- A platform-agnostic camera placed on any HAPS system (Zephyr, maneuverable balloon)
- Target of 200 days autonomy, powered only by the sun
- Very high resolution video/image down to 15cm
- Multi-camera payload covering from 1300km² to 1.1km² in real time
Strat-Observer’s ability to provide persistent live images/video over a specific area provides invaluable intelligence to support decision making, allowing for continuous monitoring at very high resolution.
