Our Mesospheric Delivery Services

Explore high-velocity sub-orbital launch and sampling solutions designed specifically for advanced upper-atmosphere scientific investigation.

Atmospheric Mesosphere Sampling

Direct sampling of the mesosphere using specialized wound fiberglass vehicles transparent to RF, providing crucial atmospheric data to climatologists.

Sub-Orbital Payload Delivery

Delivers scientific research payloads to the stratosphere, mesosphere, and beyond utilizing low-cost, high-velocity light-gas launch tube systems.

Hypersonic Vehicle Testing

High-Mach aerodynamic vehicle launches supporting extreme-speed flight observation and advanced instrumentation testing in upper-atmospheric conditions.

Zero Carbon Launches

Sustainable Access for Upper Atmosphere Research

Accessing the mesosphere is critical for climatologists studying global environmental shifts, yet traditional sounding systems remain cost-prohibitive and intermittent. Green Launch utilizes revolutionary light-gas propulsion powered by hydrogen and oxygen, producing only water vapor. Scientific researchers gain reliable, cost-effective, and rapid deployment of delicate atmospheric instrumentation directly into the mesosphere without environmental contamination.
