Aerostar's roots are found in high altitude scientific balloons. Scientists have used our scientific balloons to observe the atmosphere since 1956, when our parent company Raven Industries was founded. Precise design, manufacture and reliability are the hall-mark of our high altitude research balloon plant. Envision a critical science payload floating truly at the edge of space nearly 30 miles above the earth?s surface.

Advertising inflatables are the best way to get your product, company or sports team noticed. A cold air inflatable is the easiest to use and to make lasting impressions and create brand identification with your target market. You can add in movement, smell, sound and other special effects to make your cold air inflatable absolutely unforgettable. Helium inflatables are a great way to get noticed above the heads of the crowds. The durability and reusability of our helium inflatables is renowned worldwide. The helium retention of our balloons is phenomenal; many of our customers say there is no comparison! Inflatable costumes are friendly, huggable and memorable. An inflatable costume is much cooler and easier for your performer to wear. Shipping is also a breeze; the lightweight costume deflates and packs into a compact, easy to ship (via FedEx or UPS) case with wheels!
