Helionus
Tethered Solar Air Platform — The Bridge to Orbital Energy
A deployable, helium-lifted solar array designed to deliver clean energy and critical communications from just 100–1,000 feet above the ground — and serve as the terrestrial proving ground for ASTRIAN-2.

Why It Matters
- 🚨 Emergency Power: disaster zones, blackouts, and warzones
- 🚐 Proof-of-Concept: validates ASTRIAN-2 orbital systems
- 🏗️ Deployable in 24 Hours: no permanent foundation
- ♻️ Zero-Emissions: off-grid or remote deployment ready
- 💰 >90% Profit Margins: high-yield at scale
Strategic Role in the Portfolio
Helionus is Phase 1 in a two-phase system:
- Phase 1: Earth-based, tethered platform validating all major systems
- Phase 2: ASTRIAN-2 — the orbital solar array capable of beaming power planet-wide
