What aircraft can fly in the thermosphere?

Spacecraft and high-altitude aircraft, like spy planes or research aircraft, can fly in the thermosphere. These vehicles are specially designed to withstand the extreme temperatures and low air density in this layer of the atmosphere. Commercial airplanes do not fly in the thermosphere as they operate in the lower layers of the atmosphere.


Can satellites and airplanes fly in the mesosphere?

No, there is too much atmospheric drag at these heights for a satellite to maintain an orbit, but it is too high for airplanes which have 'air breathing' engines. Some high altitude planes such as the SR-71 Blackbird and U2 can fly up to 25km, but not as high as 50km which is the lower boundary for the Mesosphere. Some experimental rocket planes such as the X-15 have been able reach these heights.
