On 18 June World View launched a parafoil from Roswell International Air Center in New Mexico. After flying for five hours and breaking the altitude world record, it landed safely back on earth.
In 2016 the parafoil, together with a high-altitude balloon, will be used to take pressurised capsules known as ‘Voyagers’ on trips to the edge of space.
