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!

You can set gopros to linear view eliminating fish eye
The excitement of the folks in this video is infectious. What an amazing experience. Well done.
Fantastic Nick, and all. Congratulations.
Amazing quality of space itself. The sun shining bright far away, the earth illuminating in the vast darkness of space. Seeing the contrast of the Earth and space itself is truly remarkable
omg the balloons bravery...round of applause...so profound, so beautiful
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.
Great video, something I always wanted to do. Awesome job guys!
What a great video…good editing and music. Clouds make visuals interesting. Good planning and execution. Could not have had a better landing.
Awesome project.
Wow if you look out into the distance you can see something out there that is in space. Maybe a satilite or space station possibly. Its definatly somthing

This is amazing .
Hey Nick, I was thinking of recreating this experiment for my science fair next year, I just wanted to know how much this cost and what your procedure was to do this experiment.
Can you do it without the fish eye lens

@@GuardianSoulkeeper The horizon is horizonal in real life, horizon is short for horizonal. When the horizon is in the middle of the screen it's level, using a fish eye lens to simulate curvature is obviously being deceptive. The horizon wouldn't rise to eye level on a globe, it would stay fixed in place and you'd keep rising above it.

It’s a fish eye lens, that is kind of obvious.
did u use fish eye lens on ur camera?
flat, , convex, oops round , wait flat, round , concave ohhhh those damn fish eye lenses grrrrrr
Why send up a fish eye camera ? I like the part when your camera was spinning at high altitude and making the horizon appear both convex, and then concave . Then it falls and only landed 70 some KM away after a few hours in the air ....

You spent all that time and money only to use a distorted GoPro, fish-eye's lens to film the earth? Aaaaaaah....well played. Interesting how it fell back down so close to the launch site when the earth is "spinning" thousands of miles an hour. Next time, please use a regular camera lens and not one that looks like you're looking through a door's peep hole.

Earth is very huge That's why you can barely see the curve. But in some moments in the video if you put a straight line in the screen you can see some curve. The stars are washed out because of the Sun brightness. If the sun gone hidden you might be able to see stars
