    1st Successful Amateur Hi-Def Video from The Edge of Space

    By friedpo  |  Posted September 23, 2009  |  Canada
     

    BEAR-4 was a balloon flight for Tomoya Kamiko from Japan who emailed on May 23rd after seeing the SABLE-3 photos to say that he would like "to take a photograph of the space, too!" and ask if the BEAR team would help him send a Hi-Def Video Camera aloft . Tomoya didn't know English, but was willing to learn and come to Canada to do this so how could I say no. He didn't even have a video camera, but bought a Hi-Def one the day BEAR agreed to help him and made travel plans to come for a balloon flight in August soon after that.
