Our project, your solution
At the ESA Business Incubation Centre Harwell, UK, B2Space developed a Near Space Testing service : a “flying lab” based on stratospheric balloons to test Space technologies. We took advantage of the work done for our launch system to develop another revenue stream using common technologies.
Besides, based on the Near Space testing service and balloon capabilities developed, we are adapting our stratospheric balloon platforms to perform different HAPS missions.
Near Space Testing
Objective
To allow small satellite manufacturers, sub-systems manufacturers and R&D projects to test, qualify and validate its components in a more cost-effective way, while performing an in-flight demonstration or proof of concepts.
Why
The stratosphere presents extreme conditions very similar to in orbit ones: Near vacuum conditions, big temperature gradients and high radiation levels.
Benefits
Speed up development cycles and reduce cost.
Cruise Altitudes from 18 to 40 km
Availability to launch from multiple locations
Real time telemetry and images available on demand
Support preparing bespokemission profiles
Standard interfaces to ease payload integration
High Altitude Platform System
There are many potential applications of HAPS, mainly derived from the communications and remote sensing capabilities, among them we find:
4G/5G coverage in remote areas
Emergency communications (disasters)
Eliminate communication «dark areas» in matitime and airplanes routes
Environment control
Smart agriculture
