One weekend, two missions

Over the weekend, Spacemanic successfully conducted two stratospheric balloon missions for our esteemed clients, showcasing our commitment to advancing scientific research and supporting philanthropic endeavors.

Scientific Mission J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry

During the Friday night, our Straton Industries team launched two stratospheric balloons on behalf of a J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry. These balloons were equipped with advanced instruments designed specifically for the mission. The mission proceeded flawlessly, with both balloons reaching approx.30 km altitude and both payloads successfully recovered. We will inform you about the exciting details of this mission as soon as they are officially published.

PRIM Watch Stratospheric Flight for Ústecká Hvězdárna

On Sunday morning, we embarked on a unique mission in collaboration with the renowned Czech watchmaker PRIM. A special edition watch, the PRIM Tycho Brahe Kosmos, was launched into the stratosphere aboard our high-altitude balloon. This initiative was part of a philanthropic effort to support the reconstruction of the Ústecká Hvězdárna (Ústí nad Labem Observatory) in northern Czech Republic. The watch, featuring an engraved star map from 1949—the year marking the inception of Czech watchmaking tradition—was successfully retrieved post-flight and will shortly travel to its owner, who won it in an auction a few months back, with all proceeds dedicated to the observatory's restoration.
