Description
B2Space has developed innovative High-Altitude Balloon Systems (HABS and micro-HABS) that deliver unique capabilities for atmospheric research at altitudes up to 37 km. Designed to complement satellites and ground stations, these platforms enable direct sampling and in-situ measurement of greenhouse gases, pollutants, aerosols, and particulate matter.
A defining advantage of micro-HABS is their rapid deployment: missions can be planned and executed within hours, allowing scientists to respond to specific events or weather windows. Their low cost enables frequent launches, creating dense time-series datasets and improving understanding of stratospheric processes. Larger HABS platforms, with greater endurance and payload capacity, provide complementary opportunities for multi-instrument campaigns and long-duration measurements.
Both systems feature modular designs for quick sensor integration and have already been applied in Earth observation and environmental monitoring.
This presentation will highlight B2Space’s recent projects, ongoing developments, and new opportunities for collaborative science
