Very high winds, cold temperatures, and lots of rain as we were preparing to launch.
'The weather was terrible for this flight. The team has previously had flights reach 33,000 m (108,000'), but the conditions for the latest launch weren't amenable to another 30,000m-plus flight plan. This is a reminder to us all of how beautiful our planet is and how important it is to protect it 💚🌍 #investinourplanet #earthday /dORLapXmcTĭuring the launch, the wind was quite high, so the team opted to reduce the amount of helium in its weather balloon to ensure that the balloon wouldn't get too far away. To mark #earthday2022 we are sharing this stunning picture of our planet, captured from our space balloon launch. It was good to know that the camera would survive the temperatures and that the image quality was going to be really good, so we opted for the X2 and haven't been disappointed!' Hi-Impact L&D said, 'We used to use a fl圓60 camera but it stopped working after a few years of going to the edge of Space and we required something to replace it. At 24,650m, temperatures are as low as -45 degrees Celsius (-49 degrees Fahrenheit). The team elected to use the Insta360 platform and equipment because it has previously shown itself capable of operating at extreme temperatures. Spitzer can spot faint stars on the outskirts of the galaxy.To celebrate Earth Day, Hi-Impact L&D sent an Insta360 ONE X2 camera 24,650m (80,872') above Earth to capture a beautiful view of Earth. The images beamed down from the space telescope are also helping scientists understand more about star formation and the outer regions of the Milky Way. The platform also provides a second viewer that directs observers to special areas of interest in the large mosaic.īy analyzing the GLIMPSE data, scientists have found that the Milky Way is actually larger than previously expected, Spitzer officials said. You can explore the mosaic via Spitzer Space Telescope website.
Much of the Milky Way mosaic was created using data from the Galactic Legacy Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire project (called GLIMPSE), and the mosaic image is hosted by Microsoft’s WorldWide Telescope visualization platform.
