According to the article, what is Zephyr 7?
Many mishaps have recently occurred in space explorations with several satellites having crashed and failed to fulfill their missions. This has triggered investments in aircrafts that perform the functions of a satellite without being full-fledged satellites.
Airbus Defence and Space has officially declared the launch of Zephyr 7, which is an unmanned, solar-powered, ultra-light aircraft designed to fly at a high altitude. It has already passed a non-stop test run of 15 days.
The aircraft is named after the Greek God of the West Wind and has a wingspan of 23 meters. It can sustain itself for months at a stretch.
The aircraft has solar cells attached to its wings and has been designed on the principle of "adding lightness."
According to reports, Zephyr has flown to Australia, the U.S. and the U.K. and has passed several safety tests in the process.
If all goes as planned, Zephyr will soon be the most practical option to reach the orbit for both commercial as well as military explorations.
