Uploaded by: Act4earth
Video Description:
Students at Long Trail School in Dorset Vermont design and launch a high altitude balloon.
Digital video camera footage tracks the full 2.5 hour flight in 5 second segments.
Here are some select parts of the flight.
Maximum altitude: 107,000 ft

I found it 107 000ft is about 32,635 meter

If u r right above NYC, manhattan, at 107 000 ft u can see canada, (if u look to the north) so what is the distance from NYC to canada...?
if you want to ... ( 9 months ago by jrb2421)
if you want to calulate the horizion figure out the angle of vision to the horizion over 107,000 at a right angle. I think the Trig function you would use shold be the cosine function
It's actually just ... ( 9 months ago by noober271)
It's actually just a simple application of the Pythagorean theorem. (r_earth + altitude)^2 - r_earth^2 = horizon_distance^2. At 107000 ft, the horizon distance is about 646 km

I don't think there is enough info. to use pythagorean thrm. but in order to find it you would at least need two of the sides. I see what you are talking about if the r_earth reffers to the radius.

thats amazing, how much does it cost do get a highaltitude balloon?
i really wanna do something like this now

I like that. What cameras do I need to do more of the same? I don't want them to freeze or break if they go too high!
There's enough info ... ( 6 months ago by noober271)
There's enough info. Didn't you see the equation I provided? If we know the radius of earth (we do) and the altitude (we do), then we can form a right triangle. The hypotenuse is a line from the center of earth to the balloon and the legs are a line from the balloon to the horizon (so its tangent to the horizon) and a line from the center of the earth to that point. By definition a line tangent to a circle (or sphere) is perpendicular to a radius to the point of tangency.

well i had never though of that it will work with the pythagoren therom.

it depends on the engine of the aircraft the Sr-71 and the MiG25 easily used to fly in excess of 80,000ft routinely... and it is said that the MiG-25 once touched 120,000ft :)

AT 3:00 u don't see nothing but darkness up there...but to reach actual space, the balloon had to travel another 240,000 ft. From the looks of it, the balloon looks much closer to space. Amazing video!!

Thats awesome! Even more awesome, in 1962, 2 guys went up with the ballon even a little higher than this! That must be scary.

you should have used "Space Oddity" as the song.
