Research abstract
GreenSight, teamed with Near Space Corporation, proposes a novel solution for the interception of high altitude low speed craft using a hybrid-powered high altitude balloon. GS’s approach leverages our deep expertise in autonomous docking and aerial physical manipulation. Our approach is based on heritage components (balloon, control system, propulsion, generator, grappling technology) integrated into a novel solution by a team with significant experience solving similar high stakes problems.
