Aeroin SpaceTech is developing the Stratospheric Balloon Rocket Launcher (SBRL) — a revolutionary launch system that delivers small satellites and research payloads directly to near-space and low Earth orbit using a high-altitude balloon-assisted platform. By launching from the stratosphere (~40 km altitude), SBRL eliminates the need for multi-stage rockets and costly ground infrastructure, enabling low-cost, flexible, and sustainable access to space. The system is ideal for universities, space startups, defense agencies, and research institutions seeking affordable, on-demand, and dedicated launch services. SBRL represents a new class of launch solution built for scalability, mobility, and efficiency.
