The Mission
To raise cash for local the charity - The East Anglian Air Ambulance - we're launching a 10ft weather balloon to the edge of space. Taking High Definition video of Suffolk, the entire United Kingdom, northern Europe and then at the top of the flight, the horizon (Apogee) showing the curvature of the earth, the atmosphere and space itself.
The Impact
With the current economic climate, there's there's never been a more fitting time to raise cash for a well deserving charity - The East Anglian Air Ambulance. We'll get some great photos & video (HD) of the planet from space and collect some amazing data from the various instruments we're putting on board.
Why are we doing this? - because we can - and we want to give something back!
