Analysis of the data from the recovered military grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that flew onboard shows that the GoFast rocket reached 385,800 feet above mean sea level (73.1 miles) and hit a top speed of 3,580 miles per hour. The old record held by the CSXT’s GoFast 2004 rocket was 72 miles with a top speed of 3,420 mph.
The GoFast 2014 IMU had flown successfully on four commercial space missions at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico and was calibrated using C-Band transponder US Army radar tracking data prior to its flight into space on the GoFast rocket July 14, 2014. Statistical analysis of the WSMR flights and the GoFast 2014 launch verifies the 73.1 miles attained by the GoFast rocket has a variation of 0.6 miles with a confidence level of 95%.
Congratulations to everyone for a job well done! Thank you so much for everyone’s participation and endless hours making this launch a success.
GoFast 2014 list of accomplishments;
• World record highest altitude rocket launch
• World record fastest speed rocket launch
• First photo taken from space onboard an amateur rocket
• Second amateur rocket in history to reach space
The flight from Kathmandu, along the mighty Himalayas, to the Everest (or Mahalangur) Range.
I never expected this video would blow up as it has. I was 16 at the time and shot it on an iPhone and edited it with iMovie (also on the phone). So no, it is not a great video and not something I would make now. Thanks for watching.
A word for YouTube users - this isn't TV, this isn't the movies. You didn't pay for this and the people who make videos like me aren't professionals. We're just random people who decided to make a video one day. Consider that.
Correction 1: Peak displayed as "Kongde Ri" is in fact Likhu Chuli (6,719m).
Correction 2: For the pedantic few, Everest is not the "tallest mountain" in the world, if you consider tallest to mean above its surrounds. That would probably be Kilimanjaro, or Denali, or maybe Nanga Parbat. It's the "highest," if you will. This being said, it is not strictly incorrect to say "tallest,” as it is a measure of relative height and could relate to sea level or any other elevation one chooses. If measuring from sea level, it is the tallest.

High Altitude Balloon Flight - Over 117K Feet - YouTube
This video shows the flight of a high-altitude balloon that I helped launched in Sept 2017 for the Astronuts Kids Club in Newmarket Ontario. The balloon was launched from Goderich Ontario and reached a peak altitude between 117K and 118K feet. The payload was composed of a MT-1000 APRS transceiver from Byonics as the primary tracker and a SPOT Gen3 satellite locator as the backup tracker. It also included primary and secondary HD cameras mounted at right angles. The purpose of the flight was to carry kid’s DNA samples to the edge of space. The balloon landed in Lake Eric and was retrieved by local boater that volunteered to recover to payload.

High Altitude Balloon in 1080 HD, 120,000 ft - YouTube
My family worked on this project for over 7 weeks. We included 2 1080p HD cameras, a 720p HD camera, a SPOT GPS tracker, a 10000 mAH battery extender, and a temperature data logger. We launched in the Texas panhandle and the prediction was pretty close. With temperature data and timed flight, we are confident we achieved 110,000 ft. (21 miles) above earth! Look for my other videos of this project!
Thanks for watching and please like this video and share it with your friends!
Luglio 2013. Antella, Firenze.
Quattro ragazzi vogliono fare delle riprese dalla stratosfera, si armano di telecamera, pallone aerostatico, paracadute e bombola di elio. Lavorano per qualche mese al progetto e si danno appuntamento all'alba. In primo piano giglio rosso su sfondo bianco e si parte! Il risultato è una serie di inquadrature mozzafiato, il pallone sale fino a 32000 metri e porta il simbolo di Firenze nel bel mezzo della stratosfera. Poi lo scoppio del pallone e l'atterraggio nei pressi di Cortona (AR). Dotati di rilevatore GPS, si fanno una scampagnata nei boschi aretini dove viene recuperato tutto il materiale in perfette condizioni. Firenze è arrivata nella stratosfera, che spettacolo!
July, 2013. Antella, Florence.
Four guys want to take some pictures from the stratosphere. Equipped with a camera, a sounding balloon, a parachute and a helium tank, they work to the project for some months. Close-up of the Florentine red lily and they are ready to launch. The result is a breath-taking video, the balloon rises up to 32000 m and brings the flag of Florence in the stratosphere. Then the balloon bursts and lands close to Cortona (AR): with a GPS tracker they find the stuff in perfect conditions. Florence has reached the stratosphere, what a show!
High Altitude Balloon 18 (Infrared Camera) - YouTube
This is the video recorded by the camera with the 1000nm infrared filter and a 7.2mm lens. The comparison video was shot with a camera placed next to it in the capsule. That camera had a 5.4mm lens. The infrared camera has a tighter shot than the comparison camera.
The Launch took place in Santa Nella, Ca. on 10 Nov. 2018 at 6:55am. Landed in mountains Northeast of Idria, Ca.
There were fires burning in California at the time of the launch and all of central California was covered in thick smoke. The smoke obstructed the view of the cameras. I will redo this experiment and use two cameras with lenses that have the same focal length. Both cameras will have infrared filters, one with a 950nm, and the other with a 1000nm. I might install a third camera without filter for a comparison shot.

Goal: Give my kids and my friends kids a lifetime memory and send them on a trip to space.
At max altitude (5min 23s): http://youtu.be/ePD3YboByjU?t=5m23s
The whole flight took 2 hours and 47 minutes. At altitude 28900 meters the balloon bursted. At ground level the diameter of the balloon was 2 meters and just before the burst it was 6 meters. We used three different GPS-locators, two with GPRS and one with satellite transmission, to track the the balloon. After the burst the parachute opened after few kilometers of free fall and took the packet safely to ground.
This is "Director's Cut" and it is about 11 minutes long, if you want something shorter, please check the shorter version below. This version includes more information of the project including the used equipment, more views from different heights, superb sound track from Rationalizer and more video before the liftoff.

This is my third launch of a High Altitude Balloon. It was Launch from Santa Nella, Ca. on June 21, 2016 at 3:24 am. It landed in Ceres, Ca. at about 6:31 am. Maximum Altitude was 114,995.1 feet. First slight of sun light came at about 04:00 am at a altitude of 35,224.1 feet, while the sun was centered over north Africa. That would be a lot of curvature. This is the first of three videos I recorded on this balloon I will upload the next video when it is encoded. This recording was done with a Go Pro Hero 4 Black with a 5.4mm lens. Oh yea The stars are very faint and hard to see view in full HD if you can, and look for little flashes of light I was able to catch them all the way up.
I've been asked what I used to make the videos, here is a list of the major items Go Pro Hero 3 silver, Go Pro Hero 4 black, Sony HDR-AS15, 4.35 mm lens, 5.4mm lens, two backup batteries, Data recorder, GPS tracker, Aviditi 214C Insulated Shipping Containers, 7 foot parachute, audible beacon for rockets, two ball bearing swivels, paracord, Hwoyee 2000g balloon, balloon helium 300 cylinder, and for my last launch, radar reflector,and 4 warning lights, software, windows movie maker, magix video pro premium 2015, Microsoft windows 7 and ASTRA High Altitude Balloon Flight Planner. It will cost about $2200 to get started.
Date of Launch 10 November 2018
Max Altitude 114709 Feet
Launch Location Santa Nella, Ca.
Landing Site about 20 miles NE of Idria, Ca.
4 Cameras onboard:

This was the second flight with the new camera Sony A7s II. Also on board was a Go Pro Hero 4 Black. The hero 4 was used to gauge the performance of the Sony. The Sony camera setting were as follows:
F stop (auto most of the flight was F1.8), Focus (manual too infinity), ISO 102400, Lens Sony FE 50mm F1.8
The GoPro Hero 4 Black had a fix focus 5.4mm lens F stop F2.8 ISO was 6400.
The flight was launched from a field South of Dos Palos, Ca. on 24 July 2019 at about 02:42am PDT, and Landed in a Almond grove south of Patterson, Ca.
I haven't had time to analyze video yet, but while viewing through the footage I notice something interesting. When the sun got close to stars it seemed to switch them off. It seemed as though the energy from the sun effected the light from the stars even when the stars were still in darkness. I will do a complete analysis of this video and upload my results on my next video.
Sunrise high altitude balloon to the edge of space over Texas - YouTube
Following our last trip to the edge of space, we decided to go back, flying experiments from the Boys and Girls Club. We also launched at sunrise, capturing beautiful video of the sun rising over Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This launch was in support of the Museum of the Coastal Bend's Above Texas Skies space exhibit. http://museumofthecoastalbend.org

This is the Jan. 30, 2017 launch from Los Banos, Ca. The cameras used were Go Pro Hero 3 Silver (Top-view) and Go Pro Hero 4 Black (Side-view). The Cameras were located inside the payload bay close too the mp3 player and recorded sound experiment for the entire trip.
I want to make this channel a place where people can express there views on the topics I put out but, after reviewing some of the comments on my channel and seeing the name calling and cursing I have decided to block derogatory language, so keep it PG 13 and treat each other with respect. Thanks for keeping your comments respectful.

Hi guys, normally i post cooking videos, but i have been pretty busy in the last few weeks getting this project done and dusted.
My brother and I launched a helium filled weather balloon to an altitude of 31.88km. It battled -34 degree temperatures and 90km/h winds, all while taking a pictures on a time lapse and some video.
For more photos and information on the whole project, visit : http://lyontwins.blogspot.co.nz/
Ill get back on track with some more cooking videos shortly!
On July 26, 2014, three high-power sport rockets built and refurbished by interns at United Launch Alliance launched 18 payloads built by interns from Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp interns and K-12 students from Colorado, Ohio and Alabama. Over an eight-week period, working on their own time, the ULA and Ball Aerospace interns design, build and test the rockets and the payloads (onboard instruments/experiments that are deployed after launch) with the guidance of mentors from both companies. The 25-foot-tall Future rocket is the tallest to launch from Colorado.
High altitude balloon flight over uk - shot with GoPro with telemetry data overlay using Dashware.
The balloon didn't shred well and it became entangled with parachute. A clear day and at the top of flight the coastline of the entire of southern England is visible, due to impact still camera photos replace the final few seconds at the end of the video. Key times: Balloon burst at 15:00, Jet fly by at 19:44, Balloon entangled at 24:40, horses at the end! (Be sure to select HD, Divide by 10 to get correct LON)
Various time-lapse videos taken in different places, almost all on Oahu. Used the magic lantern intervalometer (it's amazing), and shot in all raw images. Be sure to watch in HD and enjoy!

AZHAL-1 HAB (High-Altitude-Balloon) Launch for the GSBC (Global Space Balloon Challenge) -- Apr 19, 2014, reaching 93,000 feet.
This was our fourth launch. Find out more at surlee.com
CAUTION: typo at 5:30: says "17 minutes: 52,000 feet" -- should say "60 minutes."
It was actually 1700 MST, but it was late, and I was tired.
Bummer, but if I re-gen it now, I think this link will break, so I plan to leave it for the time being.
