Autonomous Stratospheric Platform

Project Vyom isn't just another balloon. It's a complete rethinking of how we use the stratosphere—combining intelligent altitude control, renewable power, and advanced materials to create a platform that simply works.

How It Works

Intelligent Altitude Control

Our dual-balloon architecture is the secret behind Project Vyom's success. By managing the air volume in our inner ballonet, we precisely control the density of the entire system.

The physics is straightforward: when we want to ascend, we reduce density by releasing air. To descend, we increase density by pumping in ambient air. Maintaining altitude? We find the perfect balance.

Navigation by Design

The stratosphere has different wind patterns at different altitudes. By moving up or down, our balloons can find just the right wind current to maintain their position or move in a desired direction.

Our systems constantly monitor atmospheric conditions and adjust altitude to optimize station-keeping—a delicate dance with nature that keeps us exactly where we need to be.

Key Technology Components

Power Systems

Lightweight solar arrays provide renewable energy during daylight, while high-efficiency batteries maintain operations through the night cycle.

Materials Innovation

Advanced composite materials make our balloons lightweight yet durable, designed to withstand stratospheric conditions and UV exposure.

Autonomous Control

Smart algorithms continuously optimize altitude, power usage, and response to changing conditions without constant human intervention.
