ALTADENA, CA – At the annual meeting of the Global Disaster Information Network in Rome, Italy last month, Global Aerospace Corporation introduced a new type of satellite that can provide communications and remote sensing data for disasters in remote areas of the world with no technological infrastructure. The new satellites, Stratospheric Satellites, consist of NASA-developed […]
ALTADENA, CA – Global Aerospace Corporation announced today that it has been awarded a $500,000 Phase II contract from NASA’s Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) to develop a revolutionary concept for networks of stratospheric balloons. Networks of superpressure balloons can help scientists to study many major environmental problems. Changes involving tropical circulation and radiation balances, polar ozone depletion, and […]
ALTADENA, CA – Global Aerospace Corporation announced today that a decision has been made by the NASA’s Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) to fund the second year of the Phase II contract to develop a revolutionary concept for networks of stratospheric balloons. Constellations of superpressure balloons can help scientists and meteorologists study many major environmental […]
ALTADENA, CA –Human Mars exploration becomes a much closer reality with the establishment of near-Earth gateways to the Moon and Mars. Global Aerospace Corporation (GAC) announced today that on June 12, 2002 it will be reporting on the development of its concept for an interplanetary rapid transit system between Earth and Mars at the Annual […]
Someday scientists and explorers will regularly travel to Mars for research and exploration as they now travel to Antarctica. Knowing this eventuality enables us to plan for the future. As with the South Pole Base at Antarctica, an efficient transportation system will be needed rotate crews back and forth between Earth and Mars and to resupply needed equipment […]
From the article: At a meeting of space-settlement enthusiasts earlier this year at Princeton University, Kerry Nock asked for a show of hands from people who think there won’t eventually be some sort of permanent base on Mars. No hands went up. He knew none would. This was an audience of believers. Nock, president of Global Aerospace Corporation, was there […]
From the article: When Per Lindstrand flew his Stratoquest to an altitude of 65,000 feet, he set the world record for the greatest height ever reached by a human in a hot-air balloon. His flight also piqued the interest of military and intelligence officials seeking near -space technology solutions that could provide persistent surveillance in an operational theater. […]

From the article: Global Aerospace Corporation (GAC) is a California company with a mission. If they get their way, hopefully one day it will become a space mission. They want to establish a system of “rapid transit” by putting into place their version of plans for a human transportation system between Earth and Mars. Their plan is radically […]
From the article: Balloons have long been utilized as a low-cost way to observe the cosmos and are routinely employed in observations of the Earth’s atmosphere. According to a recent review by a NASA scientist, the future of planetary exploration could lie in balloons that contain innovative steering devices and robot probes.

From the article: Global Aerospace Corp. announced today that, in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, it is managing a $749,000 Missile Defense Agency contract to develop a prototype, high fidelity, first principle-based, comprehensive, and user-friendly software model, called Dakota, to predict the long-term behavior of advanced rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries in aerospace applications. In addition to aerospace applications, the model […]
From the article: ALTADENA, CA – Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have, by now, spent almost two years on the surface of Mars. They traveled several miles each, frequently stopping and analyzing scientific targets with their cameras, spectrometers and other instruments to uncover evidence of liquid water on Mars in the past. Their mission is a smashing success for […]
