Greetings! This photo is from the May 2021 High Altitude Balloon launch to 100,255 feet for the Tom Sachs || Nikecraft: Mars Yard 2.5 Wear Tester program.
This is an actual image from near-space above central Texas; this is NOT a Photoshop composite.
From launch to balloon burst, the ascent was just under 2 hours and the descent was about :30 minutes. The distance from launch to recovery was ~40 miles on this particular day. Recovery was not straightforward and there were two attempts and eventually a stream crossing into thick wooded areas.
The balloon was a Kaymont 1200 gram latex balloon filled with ~210 cubic feet of Helium. The entire payload weighed ~3100 grams including 3 GoPro cameras, an APRS transmitter (W3ARD-11), SPOT GEN 3 GPS tracker, Pixhawk flight controller (as data logger), my son’s plastic space shuttle, and a pair of Mars Yard 2.5 sneakers.
High Altitude Balloon Photography of the Nikecraft / Tom Sachs - Mard Yard 2.5 Images are from multiple GoPro cameras mounted to a custom camera rig underneath a 1500 gram helium-filled weather balloon sent aloft to a maximum altitude of 100,255 feet over central Texas. These are images are NOT Photoshopped and are 100% real. Details of the project can be found on my IG and www.starduster.info Thank you - Josh
