Take a behind-the-scenes look at more than 70 years of aerospace innovation during December’s Community Connections Tour at Aerostar. With roots dating back to Raven Industries and the earliest days of high-altitude research ballooning, Aerostar has played a role in advancing lighter-than-air technology from right here in Sioux Falls. Over the decades, its work has evolved from research balloons and the invention of the modern hot air balloon to high-altitude platforms, radar systems, protective solutions and advanced manufacturing supporting critical missions around the world. Today, Aerostar continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, including setting a world record in 2025 for the longest continuous controllable flight in the stratosphere at 336 days. Join us for a tour of Aerostar to learn more about the company’s history, explore the technology and manufacturing happening in Sioux Falls, and see how a local team is helping connect, protect and save lives around the world.
