Paper Aircraft Released Into Space

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The PARIS (Paper Aircraft Released Into Space) project is a privately-organised endeavour being undertaken by various staff members of the information technology web site The Register to design, build, test, and launch a lightweight aerospace vehicle, constructed mostly of paper and similar structural materials, into the mid-stratosphere and recover it intact. Staffers at The Register, lamenting the loss of British aerospace prestige, and inspired by the CU Spaceflight Nova 1 project, formally announced their intention to initiate a project of their own on July 30, 2009.
