MicroAvionics makes ultra-lightweight 2-D platforms that levitate in Earth’s and Mars’ atmospheres. The propulsion system uses sunlight to generate thrust, eliminating the need for onboard fuel or power. Our products offer a sustainable and affordable way to fly useful cargo through the mesosphere: a region beyond the reach of conventional aircraft and satellites. In addition, MicroAvionics aims to provide continuous detailed atmospheric data which can help drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions and save lives.
