HALO Space, a pioneer company in the space tourism sector, has teamed with Frank Stephenson Design (FSD), a renowned vehicle design studio based in London, to spearhead the design of its state-of-the-art spacecraft.
This collaboration between HALO Space and FSD aims to combine cutting-edge technology with unparalleled creativity, offering a unique and luxurious experience in sustainable and safe suborbital travel.
Since its establishment in 2021, HALO Space has strategically partnered with leading companies in various industries to accelerate the development of its flight program. This collaborative approach has proven instrumental in advancing the project.
Notably, HALO achieved a significant milestone last December when it successfully flew a prototype spaceship to an altitude of 37 km in India. With the addition of Frank Stephenson Design, HALO Space will ensure that its spaceships deliver an experience defined by comfort, luxury, safety, and timeless elegance.
We are confident that we will be able to offer passengers an amazing, sustainable, and close-to-space experience through innovative and pioneering design.
