Urban Sky

UrbanSky is a revolutionary startup that operates in the remote sensing industry. The company uses a unique technology called the Stratospheric Microballoon™, a zero-emission device that captures high-resolution aerial imagery and monitors wildfires. This technology is a cost-effective alternative to satellites, aircraft, or drones.

UrbanSky's primary clients include state and local governments, utility inspection companies, oil and gas asset monitoring and security firms, and agricultural businesses. The company's services are particularly beneficial for these clients as they can update basemaps, survey areas more regularly, monitor important natural resources, and manage crop production and vegetation health at scale, all while saving money.

The company's business model revolves around providing affordable, rapid remote sensing services. Clients can task specific areas for imaging or access UrbanSky's growing archive of regularly imaged urban areas. The cost starts at just $5 per square kilometer for new taskings, making it the most affordable broad area collection service on the market.

UrbanSky's services are not only cost-effective but also provide high-quality data. The company's Microballoon™ technology leverages advances in component miniaturization, balloon reusability, and the high vantage point of the Stratosphere to capture impactful data over broad areas. This data is better than the highest resolution commercial satellite imagery available and can be used for various applications, including insurance, construction, government, and mapping apps.
