# Near Space Labs

> Near Space Labs delivers high-frequency, 7cm resolution aerial imagery at scale through a proprietary stratospheric data capture platform. Earth intelligence, without compromise.

Near Space Labs operates autonomous stratospheric vehicles at 65,000 feet to capture orthoimagery across 80% of the US, refreshed twice a year. Our imagery serves P&C insurance underwriting, state and local government GIS programs, utility and infrastructure monitoring, forestry and environmental monitoring, mapping technology platforms, and roofing and home services.

## Differentiators

Near Space Labs captures imagery at 2-4x the altitude of traditional aerial providers, giving us 10x the data capture per mission while leading the industry at 7cm resolution. We deliver all four properties — high resolution, high frequency, wide-scale capture, and cost effectiveness — without the tradeoffs legacy providers force customers to make.
