Global sensing
for better weather forecasts

WindBorne designs, builds, and operates a constellation of long-duration smart weather balloons targeting the most critical data in the atmosphere

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.
