HAPS Alliance
Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing
An alliance of companies working to unlock the power of the stratosphere with high altitude platform stations (HAPS)
About us
The mission of the HAPS Alliance is to eliminate the digital divide and bring connectivity to more people, places and things worldwide by using high altitude platform stations (HAPS) operating 20km above Earth in the stratosphere. The Alliance brings together some of the world's most recognizable companies across telecommunications, technology, aviation and aerospace. United in the goal of promoting HAPS technology, the Alliance was founded in 2020.

The possibilities in the stratosphere are limitless! Mile High Spirits - Distillery & Tasting Room recently sent a three-gallon barrel of bourbon into the stratosphere affixed to a high altitude balloon. After reaching an altitude of 106,627 feet and seeing temperatures veering from 90 degrees Fahrenheit on the ground to -94 at its highest point, the results are in: “The whiskey has our traditional bourbon profile, but on the backend you get bitter notes like Campari, and almost some metallic flavors...It’s a flavor that I’ve never experienced from barrel aging on earth.” Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/erRy6Ac8

The HAPS Alliance’s Defense Applications Working Group (DAWG) is at the forefront of leveraging HAPS technologies to meet the evolving needs of the defense sector. Led by Nokia's David Korn and Aerostar (Aerostar International LLC) Kyle Doverspike, this working group presents exciting opportunities for aerospace, communications, and related organizations to engage with top influencers and pioneers in the HAPS domain. This year, the working group is focused on several important outputs to assist HAPS Alliance members, including: Producing a white paper, likely based on the high-altitude platform CONOPS and its defensive applications and purposes. Raising awareness of the business opportunities across the military-industrial complex, and the various components of the US government that fund anything related to HAPS. Participating in several DOD conferences and events to promote the HAPS Alliance and member companies. Does this sound like something your organization could benefit from?

The Conversation US is out with a great profile focusing on the power of HAPS to connect the unconnected -- about 3 billion people worldwide. The authors even conducted an experiment to measure network reliability from HAPS vehicles operating in the stratosphere and found that HAPS technology "can support high-data-rate applications such as streaming 4K resolution videos and can cover 15 to 20 times the area of standard terrestrial towers."

A huge congratulations to the Sceye team for achieving a major milestone: completing a full diurnal flight in the stratosphere while staying over a defined area of operation. The Sceye HAPS vehicle launched at 7:36 AM MST on August 15th from the company's New Mexico facility and landed at 12:21 PM MST the following day after the flight test points were completed. Demonstrating the ability to operate over night -- which means harnessing energy during the day and using battery power to enable night time operations -- is a huge milestone towards long-duration flights of months or years.
