Creating a Micro Balloon to Collect Data at a Low Cost Using Aerial Imagery
We've invented what we call a micro balloon.

So they get you up to that high vantage point of the stratosphere where you get kind of the combined advantages of aircraft and satellites. Which is, from a satellite prospective, broad area coverage, being able to see very off angle and large distances,. but also a lot closer to the ground than a satellite.
