Event
AALTO targets Australia as second Zephyr operating site
Key points
- AALTO targeted Australia as the second launch and landing site for Zephyr after AALTOPORT Kenya.
- The company launched a call for Australian payload-industry participation to support a domestic stratospace technology ecosystem.
- AALTO said it is engaging with regulatory authorities for site selection and approvals, so treat as site-development and ecosystem formation rather than an operating site launch.

The company designs, manufactures, and operates Zephyr to provide persistent connectivity, Earth observation, and government C4ISR services from long-endurance fixed-wing stratospheric aircraft.
