Na dann schöne Weihnachten-Santa to Stratosphere: Entering orbit on toy sleigh with reindeer
A video featuring a toy Santa and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer rising up into
the stratosphere has begun to go viral. The film showing the toys rising up past the clouds and into the stratosphere
was created by a project called Stratodean.
Stratodean, which is run by Mark Ireland and Cassie Phelps, is an organisation
based in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire in the UK which sends high altitude
weather balloons to the edge of space (between 70,000 and 110,000 feet in the
stratosphere).
The balloon suspends a camera with a parachute and a GPS system attached
so that when the balloon bursts it floats back to the ground and is able to be tracked.
The first two launches the organisation carried out prior to the Santa inspired one
were to measure the curvature of the Earth and record temperature data.
But the third launch was the one which carried its festive guests and the video
even incorporates the moment the balloon bursts into its narrative.
