History
Urban Sky was founded in 2019 with the goal of increasing access to the stratosphere, and reducing the cost of remote sensing through balloon miniaturization and new approaches to balloon control. In 2022, Urban Sky started routine commercial operations after more than 50 test flights[3]. The initial product Urban Sky released was an aerial imagery product at a resolution of 10 cm [4]
Urban Sky was founded by Andrew Antonio and Jared Leidich.
