Mission
The Perlan Project is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at exploring the stratosphere using a zero-emissions glider, the Perlan 2. Founded by NASA test pilot Einar Enevoldson, this all-volunteer team seeks to reach unprecedented altitudes of up to 90,000 feet, thereby contributing valuable data and insights on climate change and atmospheric dynamics. The project aims to promote education in aerospace and climate sciences, and to inspire future generations of innovators.
