Strat-Observer
Strat-Observer is a new generation of Earth Observation service specialized in capturing very high-resolution images and live video from the stratosphere. It is a flexible, cost-effective complement to traditional Earth Observation, like satellites and UAS. This new service provides a valuable service to multiple use cases like maritime surveillance, border monitoring, mapping, forest fires and emergency response in general.
The payload, designed by Airbus Defence and Space, is designed to fly on different types of HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station), such as AALTO’s Zephyr.
By using a steerable high resolution optical camera, the service can capture typically 2500 km² per day at 18cm resolution. The camera footprint is 1 km² but thanks to its steering capacity, it can reach any point in an area of 40 x 30 km at any time.
