When every second counts…
Video from the
Edge of Space
Real-time intelligence from
Suborbital Space
Space
Flying by at 17,000 mph — satellites miss most of the story…
Even the best constellations only capture a few seconds of clarity each day — leaving hours of darkness between images.
In that time, fires spread, floods rise, and conflicts ignite…
Solaris fills the gaps with continuous, all-weather, day/night vision.
Suborbital
Live video
Persistent Intelligence. Anywhere.
Our solar-powered Suborbital gliders operate at 60-70,000 feet in the space between aviation and satellites.
They hold-station over any location for months, streaming live video of thousands of square kilometers, continuously, day and night, all-weather, even through canopies.
All for less than the cost of a single satellite snapshot…
Protecting what matters most.
Disaster Response
Detect wildfires, floods, and storms in real time
Border Security
Monitor land, sea, and air with continuous coverage
Defense
Deliver resilient ISR, navigation, communications & C3 layers

Solaris Hub
World’s first Stratoport - Spain
Solaris is HQ’d in San Francisco, with flight development and operations in central Spain at PLATA, Europe’s largest MRO and aerospace innovation campus. From there, our solars gliders climb beyond 60,000 feet to deliver live coverage anywhere on Earth.
We are the cornerstone tenants of the World’s first Stratoport, a hub for the development and operation of persistent, edge-of-space intelligence backed by local, national, and EU investments.
