France-based startup Zephalto has partnered with Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES), the French space agency, in a plan to begin offering elegant high-altitude stratospheric balloon flights. Lofted by a huge balloon filled with hydrogen or helium, Zephalto's pressurized capsule will ascend high into Earth's atmosphere as high as 15.5 miles (25 kilometers) to offer passengers a unique view of the world below.
