Testimonials
“I have not done a program in 16 years of teaching which has engaged as many students as the StratoStar Program” – Buffy – Middle School Science Educator
Utilizing StatoStar’s training and SatCom Program our engineers are able to rapidly test their prototypes and software using high-altitude balloons, which provides valuable data to accelerate the Technology Readiness Level (TRL).

Not sure where to start?
We get it— High-altitude ballooning seems complex!
Between the specialized equipment, strict FAA rules, and training required, launching a DIY weather balloon program is expensive and time-consuming.
That’s why StratoStar offers a variety of specialized services for schools, companies, and research teams. We understand you’ve got limited time and funding— and we’ve developed a comprehensive weather balloon program that makes the most of both.
