Sky

Airborne happenstances tasked, tethered and gently released by Mycel. Contrail calligraphy, murmuration-scale light and kites that go exactly where the weather wants.

+ Tactical Whimsy

Program 01. Space technology belongs in everyday life.

Instruments that, until recently, only concentrations of power could afford, reduced to polyethylene, laughing gas and a parachute. They are cheap, they can be flown again, and anyone with a field and a permit can launch one.

+ Updraft Dominance

Program 02. The weather decides. We only show up.

Gliders and kites are tuned to the thermals and then let go. Where they come down is part of the work. Recovery crews log every landing in the public manual so the next flight can start from where the last one ended.

+ Cloud Seeding (Poetic)

Program 03. Seeds, not slogans, from five kilometres up.

A two-kilogram payload of native seed released at altitude covers a valley in an afternoon. Nobody owns what grows. The flight log is published in full, so anyone can repeat the flight.
