Near Space Labs

“Autonomous balloons high in Earth’s atmosphere are taking incredibly detailed photos of neighbourhoods and individual homes in 28 US states, and from January 2025, they will be able to photograph the ground anywhere in the continental US. This is the first time ever that current, nationwide aerial imaging at this resolution – 7 centimetres – is accessible.” Our CEO, Rema Matevosyan, sat down with Jeremy Hsu (New Scientist), where she discussed our fleet of autonomous balloons, their high-resolution aerial imaging capabilities, and our plans to expand across the entire continental U.S. early next year.

A great way to cap off a great week! Check out this article from Interesting Engineering, which quotes our CEO Rema Matevosyan as she discusses the historic, nationwide deployment of our 7cm stratospheric imaging technology we announced yesterday. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to unleash the power of our Swifts in the stratosphere to unlock the most detailed aerial imaging capabilities of any technology to date.

Near Space Labs is capping off an extraordinary 2024 with some historic news in Earth observation! Starting January 1, 2025, we’ll be deploying our stratospheric Swift robots nationwide, featuring industry-leading 7cm imaging capabilities. For the first time ever, organizations across the continental United States will have access to the highest-resolution aerial imagery at scale – delivering superior quality and more frequent updates than any commercial satellite, plane, or drone on the market. The timing couldn’t be more critical. As our CEO Rema Matevosyan notes, 'Only six percent of the $250 billion in losses from Hurricane Helene may be covered by insurance. Outdated risk assessment methods are creating a devastating chain reaction: poor data leads to mispriced policies, which drives massive carrier losses, forcing insurers to abandon entire markets – leaving homeowners stranded without mortgages.' Our coast-to-coast expansion and enhanced imaging quality is completely rewriting the playbook for precise risk assessment and accurate policy pricing that directly impact millions of homeowners across America.

🎈Catch us on CNBC Power Lunch! Our CEO Rema Matevosyan and Third Sphere's Shaun Abrahamson joined Diana Olick to showcase how Near Space Labs' robotic balloons are transforming the insurance industry’s approach to increasingly devastating and frequent climate events. In today's volatile risk landscape, insurers need more than just data – they need immediate, actionable intelligence. We're empowering leaders like Swiss Re with ultra-high resolution geospatial imagery. This enables rapid damage assessment and claims processing at a fraction of traditional costs. "With our Swift's, insurance companies are able to get access to information right after the catastrophe, assess the damage, and pay out claims in days, rather than weeks or months."
