About Kalam Labs
Kalam Labs has developed autonomous spaceplanes, capable of flying from 100,000+ ft altitude to conduct upper atmospheric sensing, currently limited to non-maneuverable balloons and expensive satellites. We are one of the world's highest flying UAVs, and have $330 Mn+ contracts from global goverments to deploy the autonomous spaceplanes and replace traditional satellites and ground-borne UAVs
