Arctic ASAP

At Planet ASAP we are committed to utilizing innovative technologies to create sustainable solutions for communities in need. One of our newest projects involves the use of airships to collect data in the Arctic, while simultaneously empowering local communities and reducing carbon emissions.

As we all know, the Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing regions in the world, with unprecedented levels of melting ice and rising temperatures. It is essential that we understand these changes in order to mitigate their effects and protect the unique ecosystems of the Arctic.

However, traditional methods of collecting data in the Arctic are often expensive, difficult, and environmentally harmful. There is a gap between what can be acquired through satellite remote sensing and what can be acquired through direct in-situ observations. This is where the airship comes in. Our cloud-based computing platform will distribute continuous, reliable information in real-time. This includes sensors tailored to the specific scientific mission. With its ability to fly long distances, cover large areas, and operate without emitting any harmful gases, the airship is the ideal tool for collecting data in the Arctic.

The airship operates in all conditions and will provide a continuous video stream with our Star SAFIRE® 380-HD ultra-long-range camera, which combines HD IR, thermal, low light, color, and spectral information. This advanced technology will allow us to collect data and engage the global community in protecting one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earth.

Our airship project involves partnering with local communities in the Arctic to collect data on a variety of topics, including climate change, wildlife populations, and weather patterns. This data will be used to inform scientific research, inform policy decisions, and ultimately help protect the fragile Arctic ecosystem.
