Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To reach the edge of space and study how giant stratospheric mountain waves impact our planet's weather. This is accomplished in three phases, or missions. Mission i proved that the highest mountain waves could open the door to the edge of space for gliders. Mission ii will use a pressurized glider to reach 90,000 feet. Mission iii will add transonic capabilities and reach 100,000. The goals of mission ii are four-part. Aeronautical exploration: push the frontiers of flight by soaring into near space. Aerodynamic advancement: apply upper atmosphere understanding to improve high altitude and extra-planetary flight. Meteorological research: investigate the impact of stratospheric waves on global weather patterns and atmospheric chemistry. Education: inspire future generations to pursue careers in math, science, and research.
