We sent a GoPro to space... for science!

Ғылым және технология

Weather balloons are essential to weather forecasting, but it takes a lot of coordination to send them up - and to track the data they capture. Kyle Brittain attached some cameras to a weather balloon to get a better picture of how the process works and the result is an epic adventure into the Alberta badlands.

    should do it again with a 360 degree flat lens camera would make for even better view, that's the major downside to GoPro's is the fish eye distortion. But could you image using one of the flat lens 360 degree cameras, the interactive ones that you can move the image or video and see all around it now THAT would be neat!

    This is as close to being in space most of us will experience... simple technologies: weather balloon and small video cameras. Years ago, video equipment was too heavy to loft into the heavens. Today, 4K video cameras fit in the palm of your hand. One thing that would improve the overall experience is a 3 axis gyro stabilized camera platform on balloon. Add remote pan, tilt, and zoom in real time from ground to balloon and that also will improve experience.
