For us, this project was more than just a job – it was one of those rare moments where technology meets childhood imagination. Together with LEGOLAND Florida Resort and LEGOLAND California Resort, we didn’t just showcase the new Galacticoaster – we quite literally made it take off. A LEGO spaceship leaving Earth and rising toward the stratosphere – exactly the kind of idea you would have built as a kid, only this time for real. Instead of a traditional setup, we sent a LEGO spaceship model and a display into the stratosphere using a weather balloon – to a place where the fantasy of space and adventure suddenly feels real. No simulation, no CGI – just real footage and real moments.

From developing our custom camera probe to integrating and securing the models, as well as planning, launching, and recovering the flight, everything was handled by our team. We also took care of the entire film production, from shooting to final edit. Every step was designed to capture that unique mix of technology, creativity, and curiosity that LEGO stands for worldwide.

The result is footage that not only looks stunning but also captures the feeling LEGO has always inspired: curiosity, exploration, and the idea that anything is possible. Bringing the Galacticoaster – a new indoor roller coaster at LEGOLAND Florida Resort featuring launch elements, spinning movements, and interactive features – into such a setting even before the first ride makes the story come to life in a completely new way.

Together with ASUS, we took an ASUS ExpertBook Ultra to where it really matters: 8,856 meters altitude – the height of Mount Everest. And that’s exactly the point: this wasn’t about space or the stratosphere, but about real conditions on Earth. Extreme cold down to –42.5°C, drastically reduced air pressure (~30%), and an environment you only find in high-altitude regions – raw, unfiltered, and without simulation.

And this is where the technology proves itself: the system holds up. The laptop remains operational and demonstrates just how robust modern hardware can be when it truly matters.

The result is more than just a test – it’s a high-impact content setup with global reach. The video will be released worldwide by ASUS and showcased across international ASUS trade show booths, right where innovation takes the stage.

👉 You don’t just want to test your product – you want to make an impact? Let’s build something extraordinary.

MrBeast in Space: How the World’s Largest YouTuber Sent Feastables to the Edge of Space

  • Construction, Launch & Recovery near Greenville, North Carolina

MrBeast, the largest YouTuber on Earth, is known for pushing ideas to the extreme. When launching his chocolate brand Feastables, the question quickly became: how far can a chocolate bar go?

The answer: almost to space.

As part of a spectacular marketing stunt, MrBeast and his team partnered with us to send a Feastables chocolate bar on a stratospheric balloon flight, bringing it closer to orbit than any chocolate before. The campaign was timed with the release of the new Super Mario movie, making the concept even more fitting: a playful journey beyond the limits of our planet.

The launch took place in North Carolina, where we worked together with MrBeast and his team to prepare the mission. Attached to a specially designed high-altitude weather balloon, the chocolate bar began its ascent high above the Earth.

During the multi-hour flight through the stratosphere, our camera probe captured spectacular footage. As the balloon drifted far above the Atlantic Ocean, the cameras recorded breathtaking views of the curvature of Earth, the deep black of space, and the tiny Feastables bar floating at the edge of space.

Of course, no MrBeast project would be complete without a final challenge. After the successful recovery of the payload, MrBeast personally performed the ultimate taste test — confirming whether the new Feastables chocolate bar truly tastes “out of this world.”

Below you can watch the full video of the mission and see how Feastables made its journey to the edge of space.

A work of art in space. A sunrise for eternity.

For Brazilian artist @thiagorochapittaa, we turned his vision into reality:
A unique art project that rose to the edge of space at sunrise.

On board:
A Brazilian root, symbolizing origin, growth, and connection.
The world’s first egg nest in space, representing new life, transformation, and hope.
From the construction of custom mounts, to permits and organization of all paperwork, to launch and recovery of the entire mission – we provide everything from a single source. ?✨

The artist traveled all the way from Brazil to witness his artwork ascend with the first light of day, rising almost 40 kilometers high, set against the blackness of space and the rising sun.
What remains are breathtaking images, moving perspectives – and proof that art knows no boundaries.

Want to send your vision to space, too?
Message us. We’ll make it happen.

For the latest campaign promoting Austria’s coolest debit card, the renowned creative agency Jung von Matt came up with something truly special:
A showcase filled with stylish debit cards was sent into the stratosphere by Stratoflights – soaring to over 40,000 meters above Earth!

With the slogan “Spaced Out: Get €20 bonus with the coolest debit card”, Erste Bank – Sparkasse literally launched their cards to new heights.
And in more ways than one – Up there, temperatures drop to a freezing –65 °C. It doesn’t get cooler than that!

The result: Breathtaking footage of the glass showcase floating in the blackness of space, framed by the deep blue curve of Earth’s atmosphere.
A galactic perspective on an everyday item – made iconic through visual storytelling.

The first yoghurt in space – a frosty adventure with Stefan de Vries!

Unusual challenges are his thing: Stefan de Vries, one of the best-known YouTubers from the Netherlands, has come up with a particularly cool mission this time. His goal? To shoot the world’s first yoghurt into the stratosphere! And who better to realise it than the Stratoflights team?

? The challenge: at an icy -65°C in the stratosphere, the yoghurt was to turn into a frozen dessert so that Stefan could launch it as yoghurt – and land it as ice cream! But why stick to just one premiere? Another curious experiment was launched at the same time: the first sultana bun on the edge of space! ?

The big launch – and a tricky trajectory
On launch day, however, a challenge awaited: the strong easterly wind. As Stefan had requested a take-off close to the Dutch border, it quickly became clear that the flight distance would be around 200 kilometres as the crow flies. But that didn’t stop us. Challenge accepted!
The balloon rose into the sky and the race began! While our yoghurt (and the sultana roll) took off towards space, Stefan was already speeding towards the predicted landing region in his Audi SQ8.

Mission accomplished? Yoghurt or ice cream?
We were finally able to recover the cargo in a field – but was it still yoghurt or already frozen space ice cream? ❄️ A few kilometres further on, the sultana roll was also waiting for us – fresh from the stratosphere!
A crazy experiment, an epic hunt and a must-see adventure. Watch the full video on YouTube! ?

SPOT Trace: Live tracking in the stratosphere

For many years, Stratoflights GmbH & Co. KG has been working with Globalstar, which operates a satellite communication network of 48 satellites at an altitude of 1,400 kilometers, thus enabling near real time GPS tracking in almost all areas outside the usual data and mobile phone network! With the SPOT Trace, Globalstar also provides position data outside the data and mobile phone network during the stratospheric flight in order to track the stratospheric flight, e.g. in a mission control, the classroom or on the move via a cell phone app, and is therefore the perfect extension for our self-developed GPS tracker STRATOfinder with worldwide mobile phone network coverage.

Due to the many years of cooperation, our founder Tobias Lohf had the honor of presenting Stratoflights and its areas of application with the SPOT Trace in an interview with Globalstart.

Raiffeisen Bank – Want a breathtaking view of the Alps from a height of 130,000 feet?

Raiffeisen Bank has the tightest branch network in Switzerland, which means that many Swiss are loyal customers of this cooperative bank. Close relationships with the bank’s customers and members have a long tradition. In addition to financial support, joint projects and missions are a matter of course. For an advertising campaign, trainees from different apprenticeship years designed the Raiffeisenbank logo with a map of Switzerland on the computer and milled out the logo using a CNC machine. After the painting process, the mission was sent to the edge of space together with our team as part of a small event with the company’s employees and the Head of Corporate Clients at Raiffeisenbank Switzerland. At an altitude of almost 130,000 feet, with a view over the Swiss Alps and beyond, sensational pictures were taken, which our film team summarized in a short film according to the wishes of the Raiffeisenbank agency. Would you like a view of the Swiss Alps from above? Click here for the video:
