HD Camera and iPhone Take Earth Pictures From Space

Homemade Spacecraft from Luke Geissbuhler on Vimeo.




iPhone getting some altitude on balloons before, yet never featured an camera and an iPhone going into space.

The camera was pulled by a weather balloon 19 miles into space and back. Overcoming, extreme chill, strong winds and overwhelming speed. It would also have to land on outside water.

The experiment marked mission successful, with the pod surprisingly landing only 30 miles from launch spot.

Surprisingly, the iPhone was only tagging along as a GPS module....
