Educational video created by NASA.

"This video segment explains how NASA's Helios aircraft operates and why it is a better alternative to satellite technology. Viewers learn that, unlike satellites, the Helios can update its technology, does not need to be launched, and costs less to build. The video also discusses how the aircraft may one day be used to monitor the atmosphere of Mars. The clip includes an interview with NASA's Solar Aircraft Project Manager and footage of Helios in flight."
