That’s it! The 3 axes simulator of SolarStratos was unveiled to the public during the first day of the Numerik Games Festival in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland, with a demonstration of Raphaël Domjan.
Digital art takes centre stage at the FestivalNumerik Games in Yverdon-les-Bains (from 2 to 4 September 2016). SolarStratos will be there to show for the first time in the world its 3-axis simulator, which will be used as a flight training tool for solar pilots! Usually reserved for the latter, the simulator will exceptionally open its cockpit to three lucky people during a competition! That’s right! 3 flight simulations are to be won during the Numerik Games! To participate, just “like” our Facebook page and leave a nice comment underneath this publication. The winners of the competition will be tagged as soon as the results are in, i.e. Friday 2 September at noon. Good luck!

This summer we are taking you to Moscow, to our partner Zvezda. Raphaël and Roland went there to test the spacesuit Sokol (“Falcon” in Russian), which our eco-explorer will wear when reaching the stratosphere. Safety tests of the suit’s Life Support System have been carried out. Technical tests of the emergency system (enabling injecting a minimum of oxygen into the spacesuit, while at the same time maintaining closed-circuit circulation) were also carried out and everything went extremely well. Other adjustments are currently being made and Raphaël will be able conduct the next tests in the fall. You can follow of all this in pictures!
Summer has been playing hard to get. Now that it’s finally here, we hope you can take full advantage of it to have fun and relax. We’ll catch up with you again soon so you can find out about the newest advancements and developments of SolarStratos.
Have a great summer and thank you for your enthusiasm.

After 2 years of loyal service, the SolarStratos website came under a digital scalpel and completely changed its design. The objective was to give a new user experience, both in terms of navigation and aesthetics. Particular attention was paid to the highlighting of the SolarStratos Club because SolarStratos is not the work of a small group of crazy adventurers but the eco-exploration of everyone! We hope you will enjoy (re-)discovering our mission through this new digital design.
Also, in order to mark the occasion of the redesign of the website, we are launching at the same time our teaser! This is a short video that aims to inspire web users, like Hollywood movie trailers. The incredible pictures and sound design, created by our partners Creatorz Deitz and Wavestudios, will make you travel to the edge of space!
The video is posted on our Facebook page with a contest to earn some visits of the solar airplane with the team. Participation is simple. Just “like” the page. Do not wait any longer and try your hand! The draw among all the likes of the page will be held on June 30 at noon.
Good surfing and thank you for your unfailing support! Do not hesitate to massively share our teaser and all good luck for the contest!
Raphael and the SolarStratos Team
