Action cameras are capable of some pretty incredible things. Their small size and variety of mounts make it easy to strap a camera to something with an interesting point of view and hit record.
While we’ve seen some awesome surfing, biking, skiing and snowboarding action, we have yet to see someone strap an action camera to space rocket and launch it into the sky…until now.
In a recent video released by GoPro, the company brings us on a ride into space with their GoPro Hero4 action camera. Multiple GoPro Hero4s were strapped to the body of a rocket during its suborbital launch at Spaceport America in New Mexico on 6th November 2015.
The rocket achieves speeds as high as Mach 5 and climbed to 396,405 feet (about 121,000 metres). Shortly after the rocket was launched, it begins spinning rapidly (known as spin stabilisation). After about 60 seconds into the flight, the mission releases the nose fairing (video timestamp 1:17) and ejects the re-entry capsule Maraia.
The view is breathtaking.
