Mission: Rediscover Earth World View 2021-10-04 | Help us #RediscoverEarthEver since humans first gazed up at the stars, we’ve dreamed about the worlds beyond our own. Pursuing those dreams has brought us to the moon. To the surface of Mars. And to the outer reaches of our galaxy, beaming back breathtaking images from light years away. While we celebrate every breakthrough in our understanding of the universe, we can’t help but wonder…has all this brought us any closer to understanding our place on Earth? Or our inescapable connection to each other?At World View, our mission is not to explore new worlds but share a better vision for our own. One that inspires awe, yes, but more importantly inspires the will to change. One that turns space tourism into Earth activism. One that not only soars to the stratosphere but brings our highest hopes to a soft landing on the common ground we all must share. And if we do it right, this mission will accomplish the ultimate objective…honoring this place so that future generations will feel blessed to call it home.Reserve your space at https://worldview.space

A Sharper Vision for a Brighter Future World View 2023-09-06 | For centuries, humans have endeavored to take to the skies. Not just to experience the thrill of flight, but to see what's beyond the horizon, to reach greater heights, to better understand the world and our place in it.That relentless curiosity is precisely what propels World View forward. Our mission: to inspire, create and explore new perspectives for a radically improved future. We're pioneering stratospheric exploration, and bringing new insights to overcome the world's toughest challenges and seize our greatest opportunities.Join us and let's share in a sharper vision for a brighter future.
ARMAS Stratospheric Payload Integration World View 2023-08-14 | World View's ARMAS mission will lift two stratospheric payloads on a flight to the stratosphere. The data collected from these payloads will provide key scientific data that will improve our understanding of our planet.Space Environment Technologies' ARAMAS (Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety) program measures multiple forms of radiation in the stratosphere. The objective of this program is to build radiation forecast models that will improve aviation safety in the future for commercial and space operations.Learn more about SET's ARMAS program here: spacewx.com/armas Arizona State University's CubeSounder program, in partnership with NASA's Flight Opportunities Program, collects spectral measurements of the atmosphere. These super-high resolution datasets will greatly improve the future of weather forecasting models.

NASA TechRise Student Challenge 2022-2023 Stratospheric Payload Integration World View 2023-07-20 | The NASA TechRise Student Challenge invited teams of sixth to 12th-grade students to design, build, and launch science and technology experiments on high-altitude balloon flights during the 2022/2023 school year.As World View prepares to fly these stratospheric experiments in July 2023, the experiments were integrated onto the stratospheric flight vehicle at World View's headquarters in Tucson, Arizona.NASA encouraged public, private, and charter school students in all U.S. states and territories to form a team, brainstorm an experiment, and submit a TechRise proposal.30 winning teams each received $1,500 to build their payloads and were awarded an assigned spot on a NASA-sponsored commercial high-altitude balloon flight with World View. Flight tests will offer more than four hours of float time at approximately 70,000 feet and provide exposure to Earth’s atmosphere plus views of our planet.Winning teams also received technical support during the experiment build phase from Future Engineers advisors, who helped students learn the skills they need to turn their experiment idea into reality.The challenge offers hands-on insight into the design and test process used by NASA-supported researchers. It aims to inspire a deeper understanding of Earth’s atmosphere, surface features, and climate; space exploration; coding; electronics; and the value of test data.To learn about the TechRise Student Challenge, visit nasa.gov/techrise-student-challenge
Remote Sensing Overview Video World View 2023-01-11 | World View's industry leading stratospheric flight technology flies five times closer to Earth than traditional satellites, capturing high-resolution imagery with much greater detail. And since these Stratollites can persistently hover over a target area for months, they provide a clearer picture of changes on the ground than satellites that only fly over a target area at the same time every day.

Introduction to #RediscoverEarth Series World View 2021-10-18 | “World View exists to inspire, create and explore new perspectives for a radically improved future. What does a radically improved future mean? It means shifting behaviors about how we treat our planet that led to a healing Earth. It also means the forming of a collective or a community that becomes advocates for our Earth. Taking people to the Stratosphere will deliver a unique perspective of our planet and will enable many to experience a better understanding and possibly a newfound respect for our Earth.” A message from our CEO @Ryan_m_hartmanbentz and the beginning of the content we intend to create for you all. #RediscoverEarth #WorldViewVideo by @Emettsparling & @Downtofilm Reserve your edge-of-space flight today at worldview.space
