🎈 Aerostar just hit a new milestone:
1,000 consecutive days of stratospheric ops (Dec 2022–Sept 2025).
Global reach! Groundbreaking persistence! #DareMightyThings #HABS #HAPS #StratosphericBalloons

Aerostar supported the UK MOD’s #ProjectAETHER with high-altitude balloon platforms—flying above 60,000 ft, carrying advanced payloads, and proving long-duration capability.

Pushing boundaries in high-altitude innovation. 🌐

Harvard balloon takes wildfire surveillance to the stratosphere

The new high-altitude platform delivers sharper, real-time images and smoke forecasts that will help vulnerable communities prepare.

Grateful for the leadership of @SenatorRounds, @SenJohnThune & @RepDustyJohnson in strengthening 🇺🇸 national defense.

The FY25 NDAA includes $50M for high-altitude balloons—a key win for the warfighter.

Proud to advance this tech from South Dakota! https://t.co/9zJD44TT4c

Remotely piloted aircraft in aerial firefighting 🔥✈️

As wildfires continue to increase in numbers and severity, the potential of uncrewed aircraft or drones to provide innovative solutions is a beacon of hope in the firefighting landscape.
