We are updating our equipment

Over the years equipment has changed, our approach has changed. At this point in time we are focusing our efforts on launching for you - whether that is a commercial need, educational desire, or scientific testing. So we are not currently offering equipment for sale.

If you really need to reach the stratosphere, experience makes a big difference. Reach out below so that we can help you get there.

No one gets you to space as quickly as those that have already gone there.

Whether it is what materials to use, how to get started, or needing some experienced flight crew present for the day of your launch, we are available to set up calls and discuss your needs.

Some of our past clients include:

• Prime-time US television entertainment and news shows

• Media and public relations firms

• Educational and STEM groups including private schools, public schools, colleges and universities

• And many others
