Sunset at 24 000 meters over ground · **1 Like**

These pictures are some of a series who I took at the BEXUS 13 balloon flight from Kiruna, Sweden. The camera was remote controlled over network in real time, All software and hardware was built be me, I plan a new flight if there is room for my payload on the next flight in January 2012.

Hi, The balloon went 230 Km away from launch and landed in Finland, and there were several student experiment on board the payload, flight time was around 5 hours, and the camera survive the low temperature at -73 Celsius and also the low pressure.

My best reg // Lars
