TLDR

Inc42 says Indian startup Red Balloon Aerospace is exploring stratospheric balloons designed to stay aloft for months. The platforms could support communications, disaster monitoring, crop tracking, Earth observation and scientific research. Inc42 compares the idea with Google's Project Loon, which shut down in 2021 after Google concluded it was not financially sustainable.

@Inc42What if giant balloons could bring internet to places satellites can’t? Indian startup @RedBalloon_Aero is exploring the stratosphere with giant balloons designed to stay airborne for months. The platforms could support internet and communications, disaster monitoring, crop tracking, Earth observation and scientific research. The idea may sound familiar. @Google’s Project Loon also used high-altitude balloons to beam internet to remote areas, but the project was shut down in 2021 after Google concluded that the business was not financially sustainable. Red Balloon Aerospace is taking a broader approach, exploring multiple applications for the stratosphere, a largely untapped layer of the atmosphere around 20 km above Earth. 💡 Could the stratosphere become the next big frontier for aerospace startups? @seereeshp | @cvskiran #RedBalloonAerospace #SpaceTech #Reels #Inc42 #fyp2h
