Our Mission
Elliscope exists to revolutionize aerial observation and communication infrastructure. We're building high-altitude platform station that combine the persistence of lighter-than-air systems with the versatility of modern autonomous technology.
The Challenge
Traditional aerial platforms face fundamental trade-offs between endurance, payload capacity, and operational cost. Elliscope addresses this gap with a modular, autonomous approach that enables persistent aerial presence at a fraction of conventional costs.
Why It Matters
From environmental monitoring to telecommunications relay, the applications for persistent aerial platforms are vast and growing. Elliscope's approach enables new use cases that were previously impractical—bringing aerial capabilities to organizations and missions that couldn't access them before.
Technology
Platform Overview
The Elliscope platform combines a hybrid lifting body design with advanced autonomy systems. Our approach leverages buoyant lift for efficiency while maintaining dynamic flight capabilities for precise positioning and weather response.
Autonomous Operations
Self-managing flight systems designed for 18–30 km stratospheric operations, delivering intelligent altitude control and long-duration station-keeping for multi-week missions.
Modular Architecture
Configurable payload bays and scalable power systems engineered to support a wide spectrum of mission profiles, enabling seamless integration of sensors, communication modules, and specialized equipment without compromising endurance or performance.
Extended Endurance
Hybrid buoyancy architecture that sustains multi-day operations by leveraging passive lift and optimized aerodynamics to minimize energy consumption while maintaining stable, high-altitude performance.
Application Domains
Mapping & Surveying
High-resolution aerial mapping for agriculture, construction, and land management including forest wildfires and emergency operations.
Signal Relay
Persistent communication relay for remote areas and emergency response operations.
Environmental Monitoring
Long-duration atmospheric sensing and wildlife observation platforms.
Prototype
Current development stage: conceptual design and early prototyping. We're validating core assumptions through scaled models and simulation before moving to full-scale development.
Technical Sketches
Initial concept drawings and aerodynamic profiles for the hybrid envelope design.
Scale Model
1:10 scale model for wind tunnel testing and buoyancy validation.
Design Concept
Visual identity and industrial design language for the production platform.
