The video also contains footage of the flight being monitored by the flight crew in the control room. The Pathfinder-Plus solar-powered aircraft was designed and fabricated by AeroVironment, Inc., and transferred to NASA's Dryden (now Armstrong) Flight Research Center to develop science platform aircraft technology as part of the Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) Program. ERAST was one of NASA's initiatives designed to develop the new technologies needed to continue America's leadership in the highly competitive aerospace industry.
