NASA is exploring cost-effective high altitude research using the Perseus aircraft, a remote-controlled glider designed for atmospheric studies. Perseus, developed by Aurora Flight Sciences, can fly higher than commercial jets and carry scientific payloads. It offers a safer and more flexible platform for research, especially in harsh environments like the poles. The aircraft's design is inspired by the Daedalus project, and its development involves rapid software adjustments and testing in desert conditions. Perseus aims to advance understanding of ozone depletion and atmospheric science without military applications.
