The Endurance Program built on Sceye\u2019s 2024 Control Dynamics Program, where Sceye\u2019s HAPS became the first to close the power loop in the stratosphere by staying powered through a full day-night cycle while maintaining position over an area of operation. The mission demonstrates the company\u2019s significant advances towards commercial deployment, delivering the configuration, operations protocols, and data required to move towards months-long flights.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the defining step toward unlocking the stratosphere as a new layer of infrastructure,\u201d said Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen, Founder and CEO of Sceye. \u201cEndurance is what makes this possible. The ability to remain over an area for extended periods enables persistent connectivity and real-time monitoring where traditional networks and existing technologies fall short. Through the stratosphere, we can extend the reach of existing networks globally to billions of people that are unconnected and provide real-time actionable insights that significantly improve how we prepare for and respond to wildfires or other natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n
During Sceye\u2019s SE2 flight, which launched March 25, 2026 at 8:26 AM MT from New Mexico, Sceye:<\/p>\n
Operated for over 12 days, lifting off from New Mexico and completing the mission in international waters off the coast of Brazil.
\nSpent over 88 hours across several selected locations during the 6,400-mile flight maintaining position and altitude, achieving a station seeking radius as low as 1 km.
\nClosed the power loop, maintaining power, position, and altitude during each day and night cycle. Sceye leverages solar power during daylight, which charges batteries that operate at night.
\nClosed the pressure loop, maintaining vehicle pressure during each day and night cycle, validating the design of the company\u2019s first fully in-house manufactured hull.<\/p>\n
This flight concluded Sceye\u2019s Endurance Program, which focused on aligning flight duration with commercial requirements and establishing a stable platform configuration for long-duration operations. Sceye now has all required data and configuration requirements to advance towards months and eventually years-long flights.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this mission, we\u2019re confidently moving forward to our pre-commercial test flights, the first of which is set to launch this summer,\u201d continued Frandsen. \u201cThis milestone is everything we\u2019ve worked towards. This is a huge accomplishment not just for Sceye, but for the fast-growing stratospheric industry. Thank you to our investors, partners, customers, team, and the agencies that made this success possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Across the Endurance Program, Sceye advanced core systems, including power management, flight control, thermal management, and manufacturing, reducing risk and improving readiness for commercial operations. Recently, Sceye unveiled SceyeCELL<\/a>, its first-of-its-kind \u201ccell tower in the sky\u201d antenna designed to bring high-speed connectivity at scale from the stratosphere.<\/p>\n Sceye is now preparing for its first pre-commercial test flight<\/a> in Japan, with the goal to provide a successful backhaul connection into SoftBank Corp.\u2019s core network and run demonstrations for expanded connectivity during emergency and disaster response scenarios.<\/p>\n About Sceye Media Contact:\u00a0press@sceye.com<\/a><\/p>\n Photo \u2013 https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776093729_562_Sceye_Historic_12_Day_6400_Mile_Stratospheric_Flight.jpg<\/a> \n13.04.2026 CET\/CEST Dissemination of a Corporate News, transmitted by EQS News<\/a> \u2013 a service of EQS Group<\/a>.
