What Differentiates Us
At the core of IO Aerospace™ is a purpose-built airborne system designed for high-performance data collection.
We operate a specially modified jet equipped with a high-resolution multi-camera sensor, enabling:
-
Coverage of up to 10,000 square kilometers in a single flight
-
Consistent, high-quality wide-area imaging
-
Flexible deployment for targeted or large-scale missions
Beyond imagery, we support sensor development, payload integration, data acquisition, processing, and analytics, helping partners deploy and scale airborne sensing solutions efficiently.
Our Approach
We are advancing a more operational model for Earth observation.
Our goal is to make high-resolution airborne data collection feel closer to on demand, with rapid tasking, fast acquisition, and timely delivery.
This approach ensures organizations always have access to the most current, reliable data available.
How We Collect Data
Aircraft & Platform
IO Aerospace™ operates a modified Learjet 35A, purpose-built for remote sensing and payload testing.
The aircraft is equipped with:
- Dual mid-fuselage payload bays
- Enhanced stability systems
- Extended range capabilities
- Dedicated onboard computing and operator station
This enables high-altitude, high-speed collection for wide-area coverage, along with the flexibility for lower-altitude, targeted missions.

Our Expertise
Do you need to map large-scale areas for comprehensive analysis, or monitor specific conditions and changes over time? Defining the right objective is key, and our team works closely with you to design a tailored approach that delivers the data you need.
We can deploy your sensors or source and integrate the right technology for your requirements, allowing you to stay focused on analyzing insights instead of managing collection. With deep experience in specialized airborne data operations, we support clients at every stage, from planning through execution.
Our team also provides customized payload testing services to validate the performance of cameras, sensors, antennas, and scientific instruments. By refining and verifying system performance early, we help ensure reliable, high-quality data and give you confidence in your technology.
From Ground to Orbit
Our team offers customized payload testing services that focus on validating the performance of your various payload components, such as cameras, sensors, antennas, and scientific instruments. We work to ensure that each component performs at its best before launch, helping clients refine their systems and demonstrate the capabilities of their payloads early.
Leveraging decades of experience in remote sensing systems and payload testing, our team helps ensure that your satellite payload will perform as expected, delivering reliable data to support your mission.
Essential Coverage for Methane Detection
Monitoring methane levels is essential for assessing its contribution to global warming and climate change. Detecting and quantifying emissions are the first steps toward targeted reduction efforts and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Using a specially modified aircraft, IO Aerospace™ provides advanced mapping services with fast, wide-area coverage. Our team crafts solutions to help clients identify, quantify, and reduce methane emissions, supporting regulatory compliance and environmental sustainability. With global coverage and real-time data, we enable clients to combat climate change.
