First round-world solar flight stops in China

The pilots will fly roughly 250 hours each inside a narrow cockpit with no oxygen or temperature control. Temperatures outside will range between -40C to 40C. Both pilots will take 20-minute naps every two to four hours. They will practice yoga to deal with the physical discomfort of remaining confined to a seat for so many days at a time.

Piccard, who is a psychiatrist as well as being part of the team that in 1999 first circumnavigated the globe non-stop by balloon, has taught himself and Borschberg techniques of self-hypnosis and meditation to maintain concentration.
