Proxis Space Launch

Designed to redefine travel, Proxis features Samsonite’s groundbreaking Roxkin™ outer shell, renowned for its remarkable combination of lightness and strength. Weighing just 2.3kgs, Proxis was selected for this space-bound mission, showcasing the brand's relentless drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible, not just on Earth but beyond.

Launched from the Mojave Desert in United States, the suitcase ascended over 130,000 feet into Near Space via stratospheric balloon technology, equipped with satellite tracking, a self-deploying parachute, and 360° and 4K cameras to capture its journey. Despite temperatures below -65°C, the Proxis returned to Earth without a scratch, showcasing its unmatched durability and marking a bold step in travel innovation, reinforcing Samsonite’s commitment to resilience in all environments.

This was a real-world demonstration of the Samsonite Proxis' strength and lightness. The test was achieved with no involvement of artificial intelligence.
