Utilizing a SpaceBalloon propelled by renewable hydrogen, this method represents a sustainable alternative to traditional rocket launches. The company emphasizes environmental responsibility by using hydrogen, a clean energy source, and recycling the balloon material after each flight. The SpaceBalloon is 18,000,000 cubic feet in volume when fully expanded, reinforcing the significant engineering feat behind Space Perspective's approach.
