How Picoballoon stands out
Cost-effective
Saving 96% of helium cost thanks to ultralight construction and design enabling broader coverage.
Extended lifetime
Our radiosonde can collect over 20x more measurements over its extended operating time.
Instant integration
Enabling organizations to collect weather data without investments into ground stations.
Effortless launch
Our system is specifically designed to be launched in harsh conditions with minimal prior training.
Low altitude platform
Our system can float as low as 1 km creating a unique opportunity to track weather in the boundary layer.
Remote area observation
Horizontal flight covering hard-to-reach areas not accessible by traditional sensing platforms.
FD-11 is a coin-size platform enabling organizations to measure meteorological variables such as: temperature, humidity, pressure, or wind currents, transmitting data via a global radio network. Probe is powered by solar panels with precise energy management enabling it to send data 24/7.

Our software hub unifies radiosonde management, launch operations and data analysis under one platform. Monitor inventory, follow missions in real time, and explore collected data through clear, interactive visualizations. All from a single dashboard.
Typical sounding balloons fly for under four hours before returning to Earth. With advanced materials and design, our balloons can stay in the atmosphere for weeks or months, multiplying the data collected while reducing costs by minimizing launch frequency.
500x longer lifespan
96% reduction of filling gas
98% reduction of wasted material
