FSD appointed by near-space tourism group HALO Space

Frank Stephenson Design (FSD) has recently taken on a groundbreaking project in the field of future mobility design. The design studio has been appointed to lead the design and construction of an aerospace capsule for HALO Space, a pioneering company in the development of a new form of space tourism.

HALO Space aims to provide zero-emission space journeys to the edge of space using a modern capsule that ascends with a stratospheric balloon up to 40 km above Earth. With the nomination of Frank Stephenson Design, the studio’s reputation as a leading global design house in the mobility sector is further solidified.

The aerospace capsule, designed by FSD, will be capable of carrying up to eight passengers and a capsule pilot on a six-hour journey into the stratosphere. This extraordinary experience will allow passengers to witness the Earth and space in a unique way, previously accessible only to astronauts and a select few private citizens.

Frank Stephenson Design, led by the world-renowned and influential designer Frank Stephenson, brings over three decades of expertise from renowned companies such as AutoFlight, Archer, Lilium, Ferrari, Maserati, McLaren, BMW, and MINI. The studio is known for its design philosophy that combines art and science while incorporating the latest eco-friendly technology to shape the future of mobility.

This venture into aerospace design marks a significant milestone for Frank Stephenson Design, opening an exciting new chapter for the studio and expanding its expertise into the realm of space exploration and tourism.
