PHOENIX, Sept 13 — A group of students rigged up a GoPro camera to a weather balloon, sent it up to the sky and promptly lost track of it. Two years later someone found the rig and returned it to them, resulting in some amazing footage retrieved.
Bryan Chan and his friends had launched the rig in June 2013 and it hit a maximum altitude of 98,664 feet and was up for 98 minutes, but landed 50 miles away from the launch site.
Watch the video to see the work that went into the flight and the pretty cool footage that resulted.
