Airstar Aerospace, leader of your missions
Made for medium and long term missions, Airstar tethered balloons answer all you needs regarding surveillance, observation, intervention and telecommunication.
Qualified, reliable and self-contained, our aerial platforms include:• an equipped balloon with calculators and telemetry equipment• a tether (electrical, fiber optics...)• a mooring station with a winch• a telemetry station• a flight manual.
Strengths of our solutions• Persistence: from 1 day to several weeks ongoing operation
with no human intervention.• Low operational costs: - low cost per flight hour - easy training of operators - quick deployment time - low logistical footprint.• Versatile: embedding of many types of sensors thanks to a strong network of parters, all payload experts.
• Safety: fail-safe reliable solutions with very highsafety coefficients.

Tethered balloons and standard aircrafts, an efficient complementarity
An other way to achieve your missions and to expand your service offer.• Because of their duration or of their need of stationary position, some missions can not be achieved by standard drones or aircrafts,
especially when it comes to surveillance or telecommunication. • The balloon offers the necessary persistence to achieve missions over several months with a payload capability up to 250 kg.• Expand you service offer with our tethered balloons solutions which are competitive in terms of costs and logistics.
