World View is the leading stratospheric technology company in the world.
We deliver valuable insight to enterprises, agencies, and individuals via two primary business segments: Stratollite un-crewed flight systems and Voyager human spaceflight systems.
The Stratollite is an unprecedented un-crewed stratospheric vehicle that delivers payloads to the near-space environment with revolutionary control capabilities. The vehicle provides navigational steering over large distances and persistent flight over specified areas of interest for days, weeks, and months on end, all at a fraction of the cost of comparable technologies like geo-stationary satellites, LEO satellites, and high-altitude drones. Stratollites are already in operation today, with applications spanning remote sensing, communications, weather, and research.
The Voyager human spaceflight experience is under development and will launch in the near future, offering private citizens a comfortable, safe, and perspective-changing voyage to the edge of space via high-altitude balloon.
Led by former Biospherians Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, NASA Shuttle Commander Mark Kelly, NASA astronaut Ron Garan, and former NASA Chief of Space & Earth Science Programs Dr. Alan Stern, World View is leveraging the technical expertise of some of the world's leading experts in space technology.
