Reaching for the sky

The sky was no limit for our final year students as they sent a high altitude balloon 100,000 ft above the surface of the Earth.

High-altitude balloons are used for research purposes. Experiencing temperatures up to minus 60 degrees with very thin atmosphere. We are able to test instruments and materials, before their more expensive journey into space itself.
