SQUID FFU ejection and start of deployment of wirebooms. The apogee is reached at 82 km above earth. During the first 60 seconds of the video the camera is covered by the FFU which then is ejected. The material was capture using a GoPro HD action camera with a custom made aluminum casing.
There's my house! Oh...gone. There's my house! Oh...gone. There's my house! Oh...gone. There's my house! Oh...gone.
Repeat until landed. Then sounds like a dragon eating R2D2! But a great video. Shame about the rotation. I also wonder how many GoPro's there are lying around the globe unfound, after 'fail-to-find' launched rocket payloads?

The project is part of the REXUS programme and the camera was used to follow the ejection of the SQUID experiment. The experiment landed using a parachute and was then recovered using a beacon tracking system, GPS and satellite modem as well as a helicopter. Take a look on our homepage if you want to learn more!

Now this is *proper* near space, not the 30km or so that we high-altitude balloonists call near space :) Well done - great clip.

Go Pro in space! Fucking awesome. How did you get the video back? It looked like it was losing control at the end.
