(Original Sound)On June 3, 2011 fifth grade students and their science teacher from Farsund Kristne Grunnskole in Norway launched Norway's first high altitude balloon to 110,000 feet-On board was a GoPro Hero Camera filming the entire 4 hour journey. (32 GB ) The GoPro Hero was mounted in a water tight casing with a spare battery. A FindMeSpot GPS tracker with messenger enabled GPS tracking. The camera and GPS worked fine during the duration of the flight.
Next scheduled launch will be in May 2012 when we will send up 2 cameras and a radiosonde.
