Abu Dhabi, UAE – Mira Aerospace, a subsidiary of Space42, has announced the development of two innovative payloads designed to enhance the capabilities of its High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) aircraft. These payloads, focused on Earth observation (EO) and telecommunications, are engineered to operate in the stratosphere, opening new frontiers in aerial technology.
The EO payload offers superior day and night high-resolution imaging and video capabilities, surpassing existing solutions. Its applications range from environmental monitoring and disaster management to urban planning and agriculture. The enhanced data accuracy empowers decision-makers with valuable insights for informed actions.
The telecommunications payload provides direct-to-device connectivity and facilitates data relay between aerial and ground platforms. This is particularly crucial in areas with limited infrastructure or during emergencies where reliable communication is essential.
“We are proud to bring these advanced payloads to the market, marking a significant milestone in the region’s aerospace sector,” said Khaled Al Marzooqi, CEO of Mira Aerospace. “With no existing payloads deployed in the stratosphere, this is a major step forward in commercialising HAPS solutions.”
These payloads are poised to revolutionize various fields, including geospatial analytics, environmental science, and communications. By expanding the potential of HAPS aircraft, Mira Aerospace is driving innovation in the aerospace sector and contributing to the advancement of aerial technologies globally.
This development aligns with the UAE’s ambition to become a leader in space technology and reinforces Mira Aerospace’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in aerospace. With these advanced payloads, Mira Aerospace is unlocking new possibilities for Earth observation and communication, paving the way for a more connected and sustainable future.Sources and related content
