Near Space Balloon with youngest astronauts ever #nearspacetuusula
Finnish Dad Sends 'Youngest Astronauts Ever' On A Space Odyssey
Goal: Give my kids and my friends kids a lifetime memory and send them on a trip to space.
At max altitude (5min 23s): • Near Space Tuusula max altitude 28....
The whole flight took 2 hours and 47 minutes. At altitude 28900 meters the balloon bursted. At ground level the diameter of the balloon was 2 meters and just before the burst it was 6 meters. We used three different GPSlocators, two with GPRS and one with satellite transmission, to track the the balloon. After the burst the parachute opened after few kilometers of free fall and took the packet safely to ground.
