  • Holder of 200+ patents and intellectual property certificates across construction, transportation, mechanical engineering, electronics, and chemical industries (including patents under review in the U.S.)
  • Developer of string transport systems for cargo and passengers
  • Pioneer of engineering biotechnologies in transport, construction, urban planning, energy, and agriculture
  • UN project leader (led two official UN initiatives)
  • Ph.D. in Transport
  • Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and affiliated institutes
  • Author of the global environmental program EcoSpace
  • Creator of the near-space exploration project uSpace

Origins of the Technology

In the 1980s, Anatoli Unitsky introduced a concept for non-rocket geocosmic logistics — the General Planetary Vehicle. While refining the infrastructure for this concept, he invented a cost-effective, eco-friendly elevated rail system: the string transport.

Both ideas became pillars of the EcoSpace initiative, an international program for planetary biosphere preservation using nature-friendly technologies.

UST Group: Global Engineering for Elevated Mobility

To bring this vision to life, Unitsky established the UST Group — a global ecosystem of R&D, engineering, production, construction, and marketing companies active in 7 countries.

For over a decade, the UST Group has been perfecting string-based passenger and freight
solutions. These are now being deployed worldwide under the uST brand.

Unitsky String Technologies Inc. (UST Inc.)

UST Inc., headquartered in Belarus, serves as the group’s engineering nucleus. The company
designs, tests, and implements elevated transport complexes — known as uST systems. In 2022, it was officially recognized as a scientific organization.

With over 800 specialists — engineers, designers, economists, logisticians, and more — UST Inc. drives technological innovation across every layer of the solution.

Production Facility

The full cycle of engineering and small-batch manufacturing of uPods takes place at the
SW Plant in Minsk, Belarus.

  • 3,000 m² of advanced industrial space
  • High-precision equipment
  • Team of over 200 skilled professionals

R&D and Demonstration Centers

Two test and certification centers showcase uST solutions in different climate zones:

  • EcoTechnoPark in Belarus (temperate)
  • uSky Center in Sharjah, UAE (tropical)

These hubs host:

  • Over 15 models of passenger and cargo uPods
  • 5+ types of elevated string tracks
  • Service stations, control rooms, and platforms

A Global Reach

uST solutions are currently in active development or deployment in:
UAE, India, Nepal, Indonesia, Belarus, Russia
Marketing and strategic outreach is coordinated via:

  • uScovery DMCC (Dubai, UAE)
  • Unitsky Nusantara (Jakarta, Indonesia)
  • Unitsky String Technologies LLC (Moscow, Russia)
  • uSky Tech Inc. (Atlanta, USA)

High-Speed Direction: The Future of uST in the United States

One of the most promising areas of uST development is its high-speed application —
elevated string routes that transport passengers and freight at speeds up to 500 km/h (310 mph).

The U.S. was chosen as the launch region for this technology for several reasons:

  • A strong demand for high-speed mobility
  • Supportive regulatory environment
  • Substantial capacity for infrastructure investment

All operations related to the high-speed uST initiative in the U.S. are led by uSky Tech Inc.

“There are no true high-speed railways in the United States today. Yet demand for clean, fast mobility is growing rapidly. Our uST solutions offer an eco-friendly, efficient way to move people and goods at speeds up to 500 km/h. These routes can stimulate economic growth,increase regional connectivity, and redefine transportation in the U.S.”
