(Original Sound)On June 3, 2011 fifth grade students and their science teacher from Farsund Kristne Grunnskole in Norway launched Norway's first high altitude balloon to 100,000 feet-On board was a GoPro Hero Camera filming the entire 4 hour journey. (32 GB ) The GoPro Hero was mounted in a water tight casing with a spare battery. A FindMeSpot GPS tracker with messenger enabled GPS tracking. The camera and GPS worked fine during the duration of the flight.
