Accurate geospatial data matters more than ever

Severe weather events are more frequent. Infrastructure is aging. Ecosystems are shifting. And the discrepancy keeps growing between what the planet looks like and what legacy data shows.

Frequent, high-resolution imagery isn't a nice-to-have. It's the foundation for smarter operations and better decisions.

What We Do

Earth data for critical insights

Near Space Labs delivers high-resolution, 7cm orthoimagery at scale through our proprietary, stratospheric data capture platform.

We serve use cases where current and accurate data is essential to risk mitigation, decision-making, and business continuity. From State and Local Government to Utilities, Forestry, Insurance, Roofing — and beyond.

Our Difference

Legacy geospatial programs force false choices: trade high resolution for complete coverage, or trade frequency for cost effectiveness.

Near Space Labs delivers all four, with no tradeoffs.

Earth imagery and data without tradeoffs

High Resolution

Every image captured at 7cm resolution, no exceptions. No compromises in small or rural areas.

High Frequency

Data refreshed with unprecedented frequency (our schedule or yours). Because decisions made on 18-month-old imagery aren't decisions, they're guesses.

Wide-Scale Capture

Entire states or regions covered in a single program. The scale to monitor what matters, without patching together multiple data products or vendors.

Cost Effectiveness

High-altitude operations for maximum data capture. The efficiency to cover large areas with fewer flights — and no compromises on resolution.

The stratospheric advantage

By operating 2-4x higher than traditional solutions, Near Space Labs captures 10x the data — while still leading the industry in resolution.
