Near space ballooning 2015 with a Glider

- We started this project in the course of the "Global Space Balloon Challenge" 2015 ( www.balloonchallenge.org). The balloon reached an altitude of 31'150 m (102'131 ft). Do to a power failure of the board computer the glider has not been released in the stratosphere, so we could not find his camera so far! By the way: we've won the second rank for: "Best Photograph"

You ever notice how it curves a ton when the horizon is above the middle but flattens out when it’s below the middle? That’s the barreling caused by the fisheye lens. To see what the actual curve is you need to catch it right in the middle of the lens and when that does happen you see how much it truly curves. Just a heads up to anyone who’s confused.
it starts to curve even though the height is low
According to Neil Degras Dyson you don't see any curve at this altitude
@@christopherjames4422Not entirely true as it is visible in some weather balloon footage without fish eye lenses although it's just barely visible. Although the human eye has a much wider field of view than a canera so I would think it would be easier to see it with your own eyes at that altitude.
The video looks fishy to me ,lol
CURVATURE = FISH EYE LENS.
WAKE UP?!!
Would have loved to see the glider descent. And would have been great to see view without fisheye lens. Great job on the project!
Worst invention ever was the fisheye
Its shape is like blueberry vita tops and is not spinning. You're in the abyss (religion) baby.
I appreciate your problems with the glider, but your headline is pure click-bait.
It should read "Near space ballooning 2015 with a polystyrene brick"
agree
Feel sorry for any poor bastard hit by a polystyrene brick hurtling at terminal velocity - 'dragging a glider' ...err what was the point of that again! - Did anyone have a plan for the brick... i,e a parachute? or was it meant to hurtle to earth and... "flip a coin" no poor bastard was underneath?
Parachute seen in the water.
To be fair, there isn’t much air to glide on at 70,000 feet.
th-cam.com/video/ardkbnkPvWM/w-d-xo.html
102,000 feet is exceptional for a balloon. not many make it past 90
This was really an ambitious trial. I appreciate the effort taken. Even though it didn't all go as plan it was still remarkable.
Glider is flying like a stone !?
At 16:20 when the chap is opening the box after landing, I can't help imagining him looking up and saying "Shit, I forgot to press record!"
What was the point of the plane? I thought you were going to fly it back down. Confused!
Read the description before you ask questions they've already answered.
@@nige5572 Which description? What video?
Karaoke Universe The description for the video that you just commented on...
@@nige5572 That video does not have a description.
Karaoke Universe Firstly, I’m talking about THIS video, and yes, it has a description. It’s often collapsed so you need to click on the little downward facing arrow to expand it.
That's absolutely incredible. I hope I get to do this one day!
Do it again except have the glider separate from the balloon at 30,000km and have a camera in the glider.
What I thought was going to happen ☹️
That was supposed to happen read the description
wtf 30000 km??? hahaah

Excellent experiment,you acheived some great results regardless & the footage was breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
Me: I can't express better
I enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting it!!!!!

I was expecting to see the glider decent
This was amazing. Thank you.
I think I must be missing the point!
Amazing guys. Excellent project. Two thumbs up.
Any time I can see the curvature of the planet being recorded with a family/friends backyard project I am truly delighted and entertained. Well Done...BRAVO !
You see curvature because they used a fish eye lens. LMAO
idiot, if you truly beleive that why dont you spend 100 bucks and send up your own balloon?
Be aware - you do not see the curvature of Earth at this altitude; it is only an optical effect due to the wide angle of view of the camers (fish eye effect).
i ask you to send up a balloon with a non fish eye lens and please upload the video for us to see.
Firstly: Be assured that I do not want to narrow your excellent achievements !
Secondly: I am in the model flying and as a professional in the aerospace industry for some 55 yrs+.
I want you to understand my comment as a brief hint.
Cameras (e.g. www.theimagingsource.com/products/board-cameras/ ) with C-mount (a wide selection of lenses available) need a bit more electronics around, but you have full control over the image geometry.
Balloons are SO VERY VALID when it comes to aviation. In 1 hour 10 minutes you can be twice as high as Mount Everest - without burning a drop of petroleum!! And the balloon size and lift capability are scalable. You could lift an elepant!
You'd probably need a balloon bundle the size of Mount Everest to lift an elephant. Haha I'm not even kidding. They tried to lift a person on MythBusters and it didn't go well I don't think.
Well we re running out of helium, rethink what you said
Uh Huh....Only up to about 80 thousand feet and then it suddenly burst's and you plummet back to Earth breaking the sound barrier,ect, and other nice stuff......
pisses off the elephant big time !
@@pascalgermanfpv238 Hydrogen has better lifting power and is NOT a rare element. When Hindenberg burned.. it was the nitro cellulose airplane "dope" used to finish it's fabric cover that was burning. nasty stuff.
I've been wondering if anyone had attempted a glider recovery from this kind of balloon flight. Do you think the battery failed on the glider because of less insulation to keep it warm?
Awesome work. Done for the science. I appreciate it.
Don't worry about the haters Joh. Totally cool video and I thank you for posting.
If you do try this another time, you should figure out a method of using the lessening air pressure to cut the string (maybe by an expanding bladder with a cutting tool?)so the glider separates properly. I kept waiting for that to happen. Good try though.👍
The usual method is a pyro charge to simply burn the string. I've done this with rockets going to about 2000' - you eject the parachute, at apogee. The parachute shrouds are tied together with a loop of light nylon fishing line. A second pyro charge goes off at a few hundred feet to burn the fishing line and open the chute.
Can be very tricky at high altitudes because blackpowder behaves rather strangely at low temperatures and pressures. Using smokeless gunpowder in a "burstable" container may be a better idea, see if you can find a high power rocket enthusiast who's up with the latest methods
That is beautiful countryside you launched from. Very nice video.
Amazing video! Great job guys.
Very impressive. One thing I couldn't see, did the glider make it back to ground/water? If it landed somewhere other than the payload, how was the cord connecting them severed?
At 15:01 the video shows a map with the (on land) landing location of the glider marked, and the (on water) landing location of the payload marked. They are separated by a good bit of land, and most of body of water (a lake perhaps).
The top speed indicated was 200 kph (in a thin atmosphere), reducing to 60 kph then 45 kph (perhaps the top speed was higher). That speed/tension/force could have broken the tether, or perhaps destroyed the mount on the glider or the payload.
Or, since the whole point of bringing the glider up, and knowing the glider couldn't support the weight of the payload, they must have designed them to separate so the glider would have a chance glide on it's own back to the ground.
@@GFlCh More like 15:05 (at 15:01 they show the Predicted, and Actual landing sites); but really appreciate your Reply; thank you.
That is the best curve distortion camera lens it really shows the true shape of earths horizon, did you get it from nasa❓
They are all like this! They swing from a grossly exaggerated arc to convex from moment to moment. Is it not possible to use a lens that shows an accurate degree of curvature? They were certainly high enough, as many others have been.
They said that some failure occured on the onboard computer so the glider could not be recovered and because the cameras didn't transmit really anything except the location they didn't get the film from the glider which wasn't recovered. It's all in the description
I like how you just ducked tape EVERYTHING.
it said: near space ..... with a glider. what happened with the glider????? no video from the glider, no information, nothing????
Read the description Einstein.
Why is the world full of stupid people like this?
cplcabs: yes, the world is full of stupid people. luckily there is people like you to compensate.
Anthony, llmao
The title doe nothing to explain why we did not see the glider. A very intelligent person could easily deduce that the point of hanging a glider from a balloon and bringing it to near space would be to get one hell of a glider ride. After all in the first experiment with the drone it was all about the view from the glider why don't we get a view from the glider on the balloon drop. We got to see a popped balloon fall from space and land in a lake like a piece of space junk. The description below the video does a little to explain what was going on but not in enough detail to explain to those that might be victims of "click bait".
MORCOPOLO0817 five minutes to pen your remark. Ten seconds to drop down the explanation and read it.
Not really a glider. More like a falling object with wings on it.
Exactly...
A constantly falling object around any gravity source is what we commonly call an 'orbit"
Not much air at 70,000 feet. That’s why it’s not that controllable. Not to mention turbulent winds and all that when going back into the atmosphere.
stunning! beautiful work!
Pretty cool. Thanks for posting.
Cool post, thanks for sharing
Flatearther sees curve earth
Also flatearther: NO
The cam lens is making the curve dumbass
@@lokivato Round Earth, Flat Head
OH MY GOD! THE EARTH IS NOT FLAT!!!!!!
bensontam it was never flat what you saying
Fisheye camera lens genius
Wow I never knew
Any pilot can tell u that.
@@travisfitz6846 SOME STILL BELIEVE IT IS FLAT? LMAO.
That was enjoyable to watch.
Wow mind blowing great job ....
Beautiful
Excellent
Awesome
Wowwwww
Mza aa gya
Oh, and you dropped something from 30 km above an actual community. Brilliant.
Fishercat, you are brutally honest
Whoa, there health and safety, no humans or animals were injured in this production...And you do realize that thousands of weather balloons are launched every day around the world right...and most of them are a lot bigger than Space X junior here. I did a little checking around and believe it or not, not one human, in the entire history of humans or any other life form have ever been killed by a miniature glider falling from "near space!" I'm not saying that could never happen but you'ed have a better chance of getting struck by lightning while being eaten by an albino shark that's dying of cancer. (See what I did there...sharks don't get cancer, lol)
The contrails... So, you did actually launch a thing in an area open for commercial flights. Hmmm....
artemkras did anyone die tho
I think the FAA knows better than most people what is safe to be in the sky. With a $5 permit, and a payload of under 4 lbs, anyone can do this, as long as it is not launched near an airport. Keep your fear mongering to yourselves, please.
It is perfectly legal as long as you follow the F.A.R. (federal aviation regulations) part 61 guidlines for unmanned ballooning and phone the nearest ATC (air traffic control) location to give them when and where you are launching and landing. All of you armchair experts need to do your research before flapping your lips and trying to sound smart about all of your "what if's". All of this was legal.
THank you I enjoyed the views !
Outstanding achievement!
incredible project. big thumbs up.
Thanks!
I agree.
Yup, you could have just attached the camera to a soccer ball. Same same
"ATTENTION TO ALL!"
I will be releasing a video titled "Near space ballooning 2018 with a Glider" there will be no video of said glider the reasoning will be in the description.
I will also be releasing a video of time travelling into the year 2089 with a glider of course again the video will not be showing this the reason will be in the description, also I will win "Best photograph" for the year 2088 I know this because I time travelled... HELLO!
Great fun to watch, thanks for sharing. Was it a helium-filled baloon ?
so it FELL..it didnt glide
johnny llooddte, not much to glide on at 70 thousand feet.
When someone gets this in the head, this will become illegal to do xD
Great flight. I do balloons and a "fly back" option would sure cut down on recovery operations!
The landing was amazing, no water on the lens..
How come there's never any flat Earthers when you need one ...lol
They're busy having a 'Flat Earth' conference in New Zealand..guests flying in from around the globe.
That globe is a LIE!! Isn't 1/2 of that globe the entire PACIFIC OCEAN!!?? Meaning if the Sun were to be on that side.. It should be dark everywhere else in the WORLD??!! Lol's
4:33
Duct tape, Jeb would be proud.
Pity about the malfunction. Will you try again? BTW: how were you planning on controlling the glider once it got released? I'd guess you'd either need very powerful FPV equipment or an autopilot that would fly it back to the starting coordinates?
This video gave me the spins
Click bait, there was no gliding involved
agree. what a joke! 17min to see rubbish falling into a lake.
Dudes, there isn’t much air at 70,000 feet. If you wanted a glider to stay up there, you’d need wings 3x as long. It was mostly there to guide the plane back to a retrievable position.
this video is no different or even better than those who have done this before, but, as was asked, why the glider ?, it seemed to have had no other part than to become junk somewhere in your country.
Its called *clickbaiting*
WOW ! That was really cool.
Einsame Spitze Jungs - well done, bitte mehr .....:-)
10:10 - "Mind the contrails!" ...Yep, you are directly over them. So you climbed up straight through an airway and then dropped straight through it again? Seriously?
There are many (professional) wether balloons every day!l
therealnightwriter dissipation depends on temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind and other factors. Take your conspiracy somewhere else.
Good luck trying to sway opinions of the "chemtrail" nuts!! Way too stupid to understand condensation in way below freezing atmosphere...
+Joh Waser
_"There are many (professional) wether balloons every day!l"_
Weather balloons, yes, not toys with LiPo batteries to post videos in youtube. It's not for you to decide what is safe and what is not when it comes to other people flying in aircraft.
A High Altitude Balloon (HAB) license is $5 from the FAA, is good for 3 years, and can be obtained by anybody who bothers to fill out the form. There isn't a lot of danger from balloons and gliders guys, calm down. They aren't even required to notify anybody of launches if the payload is less than 4 lbs.
Great video!All the flat earthers should watch this, but then they will come up with excuses like "you changed lenses to fish-eye as it gained altitude"!
ChrisWhite85 nah flat earthers are smarter than that. They know that because the lenses and aperture are round it warps the image to appear rounded... ;) Jk
ChrisWhite85 at 9 minutes the earth is round, flat, invested all in a few seconds...the wrong lens is being used for either opinion.
if the earth is flat, then the horizon should be more far away because of earth consist many region like America, Africa, Asia and Russia. but then if there is attempt succeed in record the overall curvature of the globe, they will said it was CGI. not until they were put beside the camera, then maybe they will believe that earth is sphere.
see 11:10. You can see the black side has a curve
you realize that the people you are talking about generally cant even spell, let alone come up with a rational thought. generally they are bible spewing holy rollers who have nothing but to clutch ferociously onto tattered scraps of old fables told by sheep herders to their children as blanketed lies to ease their fears and shut them up from asking questions. it's like santa clause or the easter bunny, any little fix to keep their child minds focused on anything other then the brutal reality of a world they cant understand and are incapable of spending the effort to observe and examine in any depth... if one of them were to have a thought they would likely shit their pants and loose that thought in the confusion
Very very cool! Excellent!
You have to balance your glider and do the proper trim with it so it’ll glide correctly.
If you are reading this comment please go to sleep
Bpoint 21 Shiiit. You got me there.
Thank You for that suggestion it's past 2'o clock already and im still watching some shit on YT.
2:04 here :D
Bpoint 21 Im reading that on 23:54 and Iam writing a class test/clausura/ how ever its called on English tomorrow on 08:00 o clock. Why should I sleep? :D
5:23 fo me
I thought I was going to see a full sized manned glider!
Well done! I found myself smiling throughout this adventure! :-)
"Also, Problem glöst, nächste Schritt!" :D
Im impressed it all came back on the same continent :)
A Terra é uma gelatina 😂😂😂
Mou Marques VAI CORINTHIANS
The sun is round the moon is round but the earth is flat ? It is beyond belief that there are still people that stupid, nice video guys but where is video from the glider or what happened to it? No gps locater ?
SeegzB Maybe they think the sun is a disk, you know what I mean? XD
When did he said something about a black hole? xD
Shit stain Destroyer yes its 100% flat
Some brains are just not capable of dealing with reality beyond a certain extent, that is why they need magical space dads to make sense of it.
@@aveststream3806 The Earth isn't flat.
Thnak you so much in taking us along. This was both generous and kind of you. That balloon glider really got quite high! I wanted to know, on the glider, did the camera video-take-up fail? I thought that I had seen a micro camera mounted on the top of the plane. I'm guessing that the glider video would be shown later, if it was recorded, as money does not grow on trees. Thanks so much once more, your efforts are very much welcomed.Dan
Really great video and effort, well done guys!
Chemtrails u mean
In this case contrails would be correct, because this is non-fiction.
Dan M still a shill. or complete moron. chemtrails have been disclosed as fact. you can open your eyes now dufus..
jason sutton I used to believe in chemtrails. Then I opened my eyes.
jason sutton oh they are fact?
Cite your source
haha, yes, i was waiting for someone to say that. now lets watch godwin's law take effect and start calling each other nazis like a proper internet argument
omg so flat
Pups Screw ,maybe you should take a balloon ride up 100,000 feet and tell us what you see dingle berry.
Filmed on go pro type fish eye lens..
If it was true NASA and global elites working so hard to conspire the globe earth, they would have banned projects like from all over the world and google would have taken this video down in a blink of eye. Logic 101.
Sarcastic?🤣🤣
Nice sarcasm
What a great idea!
the idea to use a glider to bring back informations or sample in a very fast way is not bad at all, but provided you make a correct glider .
There is plenty of talented RC model maker that will enjoy to do it with you.
.. and the earth is flat!!!!
It's a pizza pie
@Bola2 Producciones The Earth isn't Flat
thanks for sharing this video, hug from italy
Wish they would have added subtitles. Congratulations!! Will you try again?
So beautiful
epic video and very nice work! very nice it was easy to recover too.
Keine Kurve :D Richtig cooles Projekt und Glückwunsch zur erfolgreichen Durchführung! LG Tom
crazy science.. i love it
Great fish eye work.
Passing commercial trafic airspace with potentialy hundreds of unknowing pasengers two times (up and down) witch is used by metal boxes flying M0,8 - who doesent like ''things'' in the engines..... What agreement did you have with air trafic control ??
Cool video. Sucks you couldn't find the gliders camera or had problems with it...couldn't understand which. Anyhow, congrats on the award.
I enjoyed watching this project. Must have cost a few bucks to make that happen.
Great! But why you did not choose a parachute instead of a glider?
Hello! How did you predict the possible landing site?
what an incredible aventure.
With a descent rate of 200,000 mph in space, and then 40,000 mph near the surface, it's no wonder the glider didn't function.
ugh, its 200 miles, not 200,000. same for 40 mph instead of 40,000. at those speeds, the glider and payload would disintegrate.
dilbert firestorm I know, but the video claims otherwise. The author added 1,000 to all the speeds for some reason.
I like how the Gopro Fisheye lense makes the earth look curved. It's almost like a ball
very nice... more info on the equipment and balloon.?
You hit the ceiling? Not sure about flat but the earth doesn’t seem round
Good project. Try more wing on the glider for those altitudes. Like the wings on the U2 spy plane. Good luck on the next one.
greetings from Oregon. I loved watching this. And a very nice song with it...what is the name if this song?
Beautiful view of the Earth that was awsome
so you flew right up through a known flight pattern for airliners, I will assume you had no idea that an impact with that glider or the box or any part of that set up could bring down an airliner............
The launch of atmospheric balloon is governed by a law called "civil aviation". Legislation that prohibits wild probe shipment. Not everyone is allowed to send one.Organizations such as Météo France or Cnes (national center for space study) can and before each release they must warn Civil Aviation. This is for France but all other countries have similar legislation
I have оne question. What for all these dances with tambourines?
Super!
Wie seit ihr mit der Flugsicherung klar gekommen?
What kind of insect flies around the little plane shortly after the balloon explodes ??????
This are pieces of the balloon!
Great project. interesting idea. Some beautiful pictures. Overall, too difficult to watch. Please consider editing, editing, editing!
What happens if you forgot to press the record button
How can you be "tracing the balloon" after it exploded way up there? Seriously. Way cool project. Great job to all involved.
they had APRS a ham radio tracking method..in the payload which parachuted down. balloon is just a bag of gas.
