As the incredible Red Bull Stratos mission grows near to realisation, The Stratos mission team today gave the world a first look at the custom camera systems that will record and broadcast Felix Baumgartnerâs stratospheric mission later this year. Here they demonstrate how capturing a potentially supersonic freefall from the edge of space in real time and high definition may be one of the most complex elements of the Red Bull Stratos mission.
The unique systems include in-flight cameras mounted on both the capsule and Baumgartnerâs space suit. It is hoped that these will not only provide an almost first-hand perspective of what itâs like to bail out in near space and freefall 23 miles above Earth, but also to provide valuable research data.
