Pathfinder-Plus on a flight over Hawaii in 1998. Kaua’i was chosen as an optimum location for testing the solar-powered aircraft because of predictable weather patterns, high levels of sunlight, available airspace and radio frequencies, and the diversity of terrestrial and coastal ecosystems for validating scientific imaging applications.17 Jun 1998NASA Photo / Nick Galante› Pathfinder-Plus Project Description
