Project Beyond: "Space Jam 2.0"

It's Space Jam! Literally...jam in space! With the support of our Kickstarter funders, The 5th Years proudly present Project Beyond: "Space Jam 2.0".

We made it a goal to show the world what real Space Jam looked like back in the winter of 2012. Our first attempt in September of 2013 was Project Infinity (seen here: http://youtu.be/f05oP-nAsog). It successfully reached near space, but didn't record footage from more than 30,000ft and left us highly disappointed. We learned a great deal from our first attempt and greatly improved our design and effeciency for the second try. After raising funds via generous Kickstarter pledges and almost 6 months of additional planning, we successfully completed a flawless mission. The payload reached maximum altitude, burst as planned, and parachuted back safely and intact towards Earth. AND we added a bonus camera with a special Space Jam guest. Hope you enjoy.

FLIGHT DETAILS
-Burst height (flight apex): approximately 105,000ft
-Mission duration: 2hrs 15min
-Launch site: Kalamazoo, MI
-Recovery site: Constantine, MI
-Launch date: 5/25/2014
-We made contact with the FAA and since our payload was less than 4 lbs, no special licensing was requried
