The stratosphere, on demand.
StratoChaser builds modular high-altitude platforms that carry payloads for meteorology, communications and observation into the stratosphere, launched on demand wherever they're needed.

Launch on demand
The platform is deployed where it's needed, without a runway or fixed launch site.
Above weather and air traffic
It operates at 15–35 km, well above commercial aviation at about 10 km.
High areal coverage
From 30 km the horizon is about 600 km away, so a single platform covers a wide area for communications and observation.
Modular payloads
Payloads for meteorology, communications and observation, swapped to fit the mission.
A fraction of the cost
Access to the stratosphere without the cost and lead time of a satellite or crewed aircraft.
Engineered in Europe
Developed in Europe for civil and security customers.
