WindBorne provides more data and flexibility at a fraction of the cost
10x to 100x more data per dollar
Global access from easy-to-reach launch locations
Ability to target the most valuable data
Full access from surface to stratosphere
WindBorne balloons can be fully controlled throughout their altitude range, enabling us to repeatedly collect in-situ “slices” of the atmosphere with a single balloon. Take a look at a real flight profile below.
Launched from Palmer, AK on March 8 2021
Ability to operate constellations with global reach
- >500 flights
- >5.5 years of cumulative flight time
- >2.75 million kilometers cumulative ground track (7.2x distance to the moon)
- >90,000 kilometers vertical distance traveled (equivalent of ~9,000 dropsonde profiles)
WindBorne's flight paths as of October 10, 2022
Proven partnerships
We have worked with NOAA, NCAR, the US Air Force, the Office of Naval Research, and the UCSD Scripps Institute of Oceanography -- and you can read what NOAA had to say about working with WindBorne. If you would like to work with us as well, email contact@windbornesystems.com.
