ODYSSEUS
Global Reach, Airborne for Months, Powered by the Sun
Odysseus is the world’s most capable, solar-powered, autonomous aircraft ready to deliver your mission from the stratosphere. This high-altitude pseudo-satellite (HAPS ) provides the biggest payload capacity available in persistent, solar aviation.

Odysseus changes how we use the sky, opening vast new possibilities for those who need to stay connected and informed.

At a fraction of the cost of a satellite and with exponentially more time aloft than a conventional UAV, Odysseus is a customizable platform for your ultra-long-endurance mission requirements. Also known as a HALE UAV (High-Altitude, Long Endurance), Odysseus can carry a larger payload than any other aircraft in development or production in its class. This enables more missions and better resulting data quality from each mission.

Odysseus operates far above the weather and other aircraft with the ability to cover a broad geographic area while keeping its station. Powered by advanced solar cells and built with light-weight materials, it has zero emissions and can be repositioned and reprogrammed as mission requirements and technology evolve.
Welcome to the future of global research, communication, connectivity, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Odysseus is autonomous, powered by the sun, and can effectively fly indefinitely.
Persistently remain on-station, autonomously. No other solar aircraft offers this.
Greater year-round global operating zone than any other vehicle in its class.
Larger payload than any other aircraft in development or production in its class.
Odysseus brings precision, autonomy, and endurance to your mission.
Operates year-round at medium latitudes with capability to extend to higher latitudes during portions of the year.

Able to persistently and autonomously maintain its position in any stratospheric conditions.

Flies autonomously to designated locations in the stratosphere, above controlled airspace and weather, for persistent operations.

Your station in the sky is now autonomous, solar-powered, and flies continuously for months.
