Meet the Swifty 3
The Swifty is an autonomous, zero-emission, high-altitude robot that makes frequent flights into the stratosphere flying between 60,000 and 85,000 feet in the air – via a sophisticated weather balloon.
Swiftys capture a whopping 400 – 1,000 sq km of imagery per flight, roughly the size of all of New York City’s five boroughs, at 10 cm per pixel resolution. Our nimble technology is built with our customers in mind – and provides high-resolution, high-frequency imagery with customizable capture abilities. In other words, high-quality geospatial data without tradeoffs.
The Swifty is a one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly solution broadening access to high-quality geospatial Earth imagery.
