Space Balloon Track Record
Chart Inc. flies real hardware to the stratosphere at roughly 30 km with space balloons, and we have filmed and recovered payloads across many launches. Here are some of the projects we have delivered, including collaborations with IP and brands.
Selected Projects
A look at representative projects to date, including collaborations with IP and characters.
Space Balloon Project with Virtual Entertainment Unit Chrono Reverse
In December 2025, commissioned by VOISING Inc., we carried plush toys of the members of the virtual entertainment unit Chrono Reverse on a space balloon and successfully launched and filmed them in the stratosphere from Hokkaido. The launch was delivered to fans as a special stream, producing footage with no precedent in the industry: the plush toys floating against the Earth.
Magic: The Gathering — Edge of Eternities
On September 10, 2025, commissioned by Kyodo Public Relations Co., Ltd., we carried Play Boosters of Edge of Eternities—the latest Magic: The Gathering set—on a space balloon as a project marking its release. The launch and filming from Hokkaido into the stratosphere succeeded, producing footage unprecedented in TCG history: the cards floating against the Earth.
Nyantai Space Balloon
On July 5, 2024, we carried "Nyantai Kansoku," from the space portal site sorae, on a space balloon and successfully launched and filmed it in the stratosphere—a collaboration that combined character IP with the stratosphere.
