PLATFORM OVERVIEW
platform.specs.eyebrow
Engineered For The Stratosphere
Envelope & Lift
Multi-cell hydrogen-lift envelopes provide buoyant lift with segmented redundancy for pressure management across the flight envelope.
Gondola
A composite gondola houses avionics, compute, and payload with vibration isolation and thermal management for sensitive electronics.
Solar Power
High-efficiency thin-film arrays span the upper surfaces, harvesting energy through daylight to power flight and mission systems.
Batteries
High-density structural energy storage carries the platform through the night, sized for full-power operation across the darkest seasons.
Propulsion
Redundant electric propulsion units deliver precise station-keeping and repositioning with minimal power draw.
Compute
Rugged edge AI compute performs on-board inference and sensor fusion, delivering insight instead of raw data downlinks.
Cooling
Passive and active thermal systems maintain safe operating temperatures for compute and batteries in thin, cold air.
ISR Payload
Modular payload bays accept EO/IR imaging, SIGINT, and communications relay packages tailored to each mission.
Safety Systems
Layered redundancy, autonomous fault handling, and controlled-descent logic keep the platform safe through any anomaly.
Weight Budget
Mass Allocation
Every gram is accounted for. The platform's weight budget balances structure, power, and payload for maximum persistence.
