UAVOS partners with Mira Aerospace on new high-altitude platform testing initiative

UAVOS and Mira Aerospace Collaboration

California-based UAVOS has joined forces with Mira Aerospace to perform a 48-hour flight test of a high-altitude pseudo-satellite (HAPS) in Abu Dhabi. This experimental aircraft aims to demonstrate endurance, energy balance, and stable performance at stratospheric altitudes.

Goals and Test Details

The partners focused on verifying the HAPS system’s capabilities under real flight conditions. The test included assessments of power balance, autopilot reliability, and performance in near-space environments. The aircraft successfully maintained an altitude of over 18 kilometers for two continuous days, confirming design efficiency and operational reliability.

Key Statements

According to UAVOS, the results underline the aircraft’s potential for long-duration missions involving telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and defense applications.

“This milestone highlights the maturity of our pseudo-satellite platforms and their readiness for real-world deployment,” said UAVOS CEO Aliaksei Stratsilatau.

Future Development

Both companies plan to use these results to refine the aircraft’s design, optimize solar energy systems, and prepare for future commercial operations of stratospheric flight technologies.

Mira Aerospace is a joint initiative between UAVOS and Bayanat, focusing on stratospheric UAV platforms intended to provide long-endurance, high-altitude connectivity and observation solutions.

Author’s summary: UAVOS and Mira Aerospace successfully tested a stratospheric pseudo-satellite in Abu Dhabi, marking a key step toward commercial long-endurance, high-altitude systems.
