  • The 2017 total solar eclipse from space filmed on board a high altitude weather balloon. The Great American Eclipse was filmed above Wyoming for the BBC series Earth From Space. We launched a high altitude weather balloon filled with helium to an altitude exceeding 50km, timing the apex of the flight to coincide with totality.

    Using a series of cameras aligned with nanometre precision, we filmed 360 degrees of footage for three hours from launch. On landing, we stitched the footage together and digitally stabilised the footage frame by frame to artificially lock the viewer perspective on the horizon, cropping down to a traditional 16:9 ratio. Finally, we speed-ramped the footage to create the world's first hyperlapse of a solar eclipse from space.
    Launched alongside NASA experimental flights the space flight lasted around 3hrs in total from launch to landing capturing the eclipse as it traveled across the USA.

    We use lighter-than-air gas balloons to travel to the upper stratosphere into Near Space, where you can see the curvature of the Earth (Flat Earth believers need not reply!), the black vacuum of space and the thin blue line of the Earth's atmosphere on the horizon.
    This is more than just a GoPro on a weather balloon. We build a bespoke launch vehicle for each flight utilising the latest in camera technology and long-range radio and satellite communications. We film HD video of the Earth from space for stunning images of the curvature of the Earth.

    Great video and great flight to capture the eclipse. I was wondering where the altitude calculation of 50km came from? The best rubber balloons usually max out at 38km and the world record using an ultra-thin film plastic balloon is only 53km.

    • @Sentintospace
      @Sentintospace  4 роки тому +8

      Latex balloon manufacturing has improved a lot in the past few years and we've worked directly with our manufacturer to make balloons for higher altitudes. We routinely reach altitudes exceeding 45km and 50km is doable with luck on our side, as it was on this launch. We've not recorded a flight over 51km before, but the limiting factor on the world record isn't the physical incapability of exceeding that height but the cost and practicalities of launching a balloon large enough.

      We filmed the footage for a BBC documentary series which only came out earlier this year, then we had to find the time to edit it together in this manner for public release, which took literal days of frame-by-frame editing. Basically, a combo of production schedules and a bunch of other projects going on that got in the way!
