Commencing April 2025, Stratoship is taking rideshare payloads on our R&D test flights.

Stratospheric flights serve as a validation environment between ground testing and deployment that offers benefits like a space-like environment, the ability to retrieve a payload, and more time in the stratosphere per flight compared to a balloon.

Prices are heavily discounted for our 2025 flight campaign. Why wait for a satellite or weather balloon when you can jump aboard the Stratoship today?

Our rideshare program is open for space payload testing, high altitude tests and stratospheric research. Flights will occur from our facility in Australia throughout 2025.

Yesterday, Stratoship celebrated the end of the UNSW Founders Defence 10x program at the Founders Gala Dinner and Demo Day. It has been an honour to be part of the intensive and rewarding 10 week program.

Stratoship was selected from 90 applicants to participate in Defence 10x. The knowledge and connections gained through UNSW has been invaluable.

We had an opportunity to network and celebrate with and from many industries and backgrounds. Congratulations to the winners of the evening!

Today marks 12 months since we flew our first prototype of the Stratoship! It was a huge milestone that validated parts of our overall design.

We're proud of how far we've come since then and look forward to testing more payloads with Skysite on our next launch.
