Naša Marija – prva žena u solarnom balonu

In the dunes of White Sands on Sunday November 8th 2015, for the first time in the world, a registered solar heat powered air balloon carrying a human person has floated more than 2 hours without touching ground – and burning any gas ! The test flight was successful

Thanks to the amazing artist and visionary Tomás Saraceno, all the amazing people in his Studio Tomás Saraceno and Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts and other wonderful people involved in this project you are now witnessing the first ever fully solar powered flight of a registered hot air balloon and the first pilot to take it for this lunar walk over the White Sands Missile Range was our president Marija Petric Miklousic – the first solar balloon (lady) pilot!
