Raphaël Domjan wants to be the first person to fly into the stratosphere in a solar-powered aircraft. He's not interested in setting the altitude record. His goal is to make the world a better place. With the flight, 25 kilometers above the Earth, he wants to demonstrate what's possible with solar energy. Due to the coronavirus crisis, everything has been delayed. The record-breaking flight probably won't take place until 2022.
