Perlan 2 first flight
The Perlan 2 glider had its first flight on September 23. The test pilots were Jim Payne and Morgan Sandercock.
Perlan 2 is designed to fly to 90,000 feet at the edge of space to explore the science of giant mountain waves that help create the ozone hole and change global climate models. This will require the engineering of a spacecraft with glider wings that can fly in less than 3% of normal air density and at temperatures of -70 degrees C, conditions approximating the surface of Mars.
