After SolarStratos\u2019 record-breaking flight on August 12th, reaching more than 9,500 meters above the Swiss Alps, Rapha\u00ebl Domjan once again aimed high\u2014this time aboard the PlanetSolar II. From September 30th to October 17th, he completed the first solar-powered boat circumnavigation of Lake Titicaca, at an altitude of 3,812 meters. This dual expedition spanned 500 km across Peru and Bolivia, combined with water quality testing of the lake. And just like with the HB-SXA flight, this remarkable journey on the world\u2019s highest navigable lake was powered entirely by solar energy. A powerful symbol in the land of the Incas, who once worshipped Inti, their sun god! These achievements, widely covered by the media, are both inspiring and purposeful\u2014promoting the energy transition. That mission was also at the heart of a roundtable discussion at the University of Neuch\u00e2tel, where Rapha\u00ebl Domjan, freshly returned from Peru, joined experts to address the urgent need for climate action.<\/p>\n
