Canadian Lego Man Launched Into Near Space

Canadian Lego Man Launched Into Near Space

Two 17 year olds sent a Lego man into near space using four cameras and a GPS enabled phone to photograph and track the journey. The two AgincourtColligiate Institute students successfully launched a balloon carrying a Lego man and a Canadian flag 24 Kilometers above the earths surface, out of the earths atmosphere and back, landing near Rice Lake some 120 Kilometers from the launch point.
