Solara 50 : The world’s first solar-powered atmospheric satellite


 Titan Aerospace has unveiled designs for the world’s first solar-powered atmospheric satellite known as the 
Solara 50 .
 
The Solara 50 is launched at night using power from its battery banks. When the sun rises, solar power then provides the energy for it to take up position 20km above the Earth's surface. A precision better management system ensures voltage and thermal thresholds are maintained in the subzero atmosphere.
 
The Solara 50 is not a small craft. It boasts a wingspan of 50 meters and is 15 meters in length. It’s also fast—capable of cruising at 104 kilometers an hour.
