Our pilot, Rapha\u00ebl Domjan and CEO, Roland Loos, visited our partner Zvezda in Moscow this month to continue to test the spacesuit that will be used for the SolarStratos stratospheric flight. This phase was a major challenge for Rapha\u00ebl as the suit was pressurised and the test simulated a flight in stratospheric conditions lasting more than seven hours.<\/p>\n
It was extremely demanding from a physical point of view, but hugely successful!<\/p>\n
By the end of the seven-hour test, Rapha\u00ebl emerged from the model aircraft, the altitude chamber, and the pressurised suit, exhausted but delighted with the results. Our pilot also took this opportunity to submit two watches from our partner, Longines, to stratospheric conditions.<\/p>\n
This was an important step in the conquest of the stratosphere and bodes well for ongoing preparations.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
