SolarStratos is an aeronautical project aimed at flying a piloted solar-powered airplane for the first time to the stratosphere.

It is a two-seater solar plane built by Calin Gologan with which he and his team plan to achieve an altitude record.

The SolarStratos mission should allow Raphaël Domjan to reach more than 25,000 metres (82,000 ft), to altitudes hardly ever achieved with conventional propulsion aircraft.

Its president is the eco-explorer Raphaël Domjan, also the main pilot and intended to perform the record altitude flight.
