Renewable energiesInto the stratosphere with the solar airplane
The SolarStratos mission aims to fly a solar airplane into the stratosphere. Weighing 450 kilograms, it will be the first solar-powered aircraft capable of reaching this altitude. The solar systems required for this were developed by the CSEM research team.

CSEM has developed special photovoltaic modules that will equip the wings of the aircraft over an area of around 22 square meters.
