Posted on August 25th, 2010 in General
The Red Bull Stratos science team has unveiled the first space suit ever to be produced for a non-governmental space programme. Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will see Felix Baumgartner ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump toward Earth at supersonic speed before he parachutes to the ground. His feat holds the potential to provide valuable medical and scientific research data for future pioneers.
Felix, a famed Australian athlete hopes to become the first parachutist to break the sound barrier. For more information on the mission, click here.
