On August 25, Swiss adventurer Raphael Domjan completed the world's first parachute jump from a solar-powered aircraft, the SolarStratos. Domjan said he wanted to prove that activities such as skydiving could be carried out without producing greenhouse gases. He undertook the flight with Spanish test pilot Miguel Iturmendi at an airbase in Payerne, Switzerland. The team is now aiming to make the first solar-powered flight to the stratosphere in 2022.
