We Sent a GoPro to SPACE! | Full Footage

We Sent “The Rock“ to SPACE! 🚀: SEE NOTES AT BOTTOM*** After a year of planning, designing, and preparation, we, the Engineering Club at Arnold High School in Panama City Beach, FL, have FINALLY released our high-altitude weather balloon! It traveled a total of 90,000ft (~28,000m) into the atmosphere, capturing stunning views of near-space with the on-board GoPro. With the help of a Spot Gen3 GPS tracker included in our payload, we found it in St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Wakulla County, FL--a full 100 miles (160km) from Gulf Coast State College where we launched it from! So many people contributed their time to making this launch possible, so we want to thank all the groups and people involved below: -The Rangers out at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge (without them, we would have never gotten this footage that you’re seeing now!) -Gulf Coast State College (especially Tony, Alan, and Brandon!)
