Art
at the edge of space.
A hand-painted artwork travelled into the stratosphere with us. We turned an individual idea into a film story with Earth as the backdrop.

A flight to 38 km
with an HD video downlink.
A mission with MASR: 38,153 m, approximately −50°C and a flight duration of 3 h 27 min. Our DVB-S2 transmitter delivered video to receivers on the ground.

Communication and tracking
in one mission.
With AstroLife: a Mode S / ADS-B transponder, multiple tracking systems, Wenet image transmission and payload recovery.

A work of art. A real flight.
A painted canvas, a camera and Earth’s horizon. This artwork travelled more than 31 km above Earth. Watch a short excerpt from the onboard recording: the painting stays in the frame while the clouds and light change around it.
One idea, seen from a new perspective.
Above the clouds, the artwork gains a setting of its own: a blue horizon, an expanse of clouds and changing sunlight. A short scene like this can open a much longer story about the artist and their work.
For a creator, a flight like this can become the reveal of a story. For a brand, it can inspire a product launch. We agree how the object is presented, the shot plan and the publishing formats before preparing the mission.
NSL-45: multiple systems in one mission.
On 23 May 2026 in Skotniki, we flew a mission with AstroLife using a Mode S / ADS-B transponder, Wenet image transmission and multiple tracking systems. The payload was recovered after the flight.
Science Picnic: a flight with an HD video downlink.
On 13 June 2026, the mission prepared with MASR at PGE Narodowy reached 38,153 m. The flight lasted 3 h 27 min; approximately −50°C was reported. Our DVB-S2 transmitter delivered HD video to ground receivers.
Experience built through real flights.
Six archive missions: photographs, films and technical results from the team’s reports.
Science Picnic 2025: a DVB-S2 downlink from the stratosphere
Science Picnic visitors could watch imagery from a camera tens of kilometres above Earth. This film shows the launch, receiving stations and footage from the flight during the 28th Science Picnic.

Meshtastic 2024: a stratospheric balloon radio trial
The balloon disappeared into the fog, but the experiment was only beginning. Watch the launch film and mission documentation from a flight carrying two Meshtastic modules to approximately 32 km.

Celestynów 2024: COFDMTV images from 39 km altitude
From a balloon-borne camera to an image decoded on a smartphone. The flight on 22 September 2024 brought together payload developers, receiving stations and a public radio event.

Celestynów 2023: a stratospheric photograph on APRS command
Send a command and a camera high above Earth takes a photograph carrying your call sign. During the Celestynów Radio Picnic, receivers could actively interact with the balloon payload.

Otwock 2022: digital television from 31 km altitude
Recording the view was only part of the objective. The images had to reach ground receivers during the flight. On 15 May 2022, the team brought together a custom transmitter, onboard cameras and a tracking ground station.

Sulejówek 2021: receiving images from the stratosphere
Before the camera returned to the ground, its images had already reached the receivers. Watch preparations, the flight and payload recovery from the mission on 20 March 2021.
