Great reward to the entire Solar Impulse Team last week: the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics (DGLR) awarded Solar Impulse the medal (actually it is a brooch) given for exceptional achievement in memory to the German space pioneers.
It was a great moment to share this team award with many of our engineers. They really deserve to be under the spot lights as this project needs so much commitments, hard work, innovative ideas and also risk taking.
