Styrofoam will be used for payload section.

Styrofoam is a superb building model material that consists of a thin sheet of foam sandwiched by two layers of paper (or other laminate). The result is a very lightweight but stiff section of material that can be cut cleanly with a sharp knife yet remains durable and rigid.
Foamboard is commonly called “Fome-Cor” (or Foam-Core) as well as a variety of other trade-names and generally comes in thicknesses of 3mm and 5mm.

Basic Infographic of The Structure

I made an infographic explanaton about the whole structure.It shows all
the parts of the structure. The Structure divides into 3 parts.

1 - Balloon Part

2 - Connections Part

3 - Payload Part

Toshiba : Space Chair Project

A few facts about the shoot (from Toshiba)

• The shots were taken at a staggering 98,268 feet above the earth using Toshiba’s own cameras
• To reach the altitude required and to conform with Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the weight of the rig had to be carefully managed to a weight of no more than four pounds
• Tied to the rig was a specially created full-sized model chair made of biodegradable balsa wood – the chair was made by a company called Artem and cost about £2,500
• Launch coordinates of the rig were - 119 degrees, 14 minutes by 40 degrees, 48 minute (12 miles North-East of the town of Gerlach, Nevada)
• The quality of the footage from the Toshiba IK-HR1S cameras was: 1920x1080 pixel count; 1080i @ 50hz; 100 Mbps
• The temperature dropped to minus 90 degrees when the chair reached 52,037 feet
• The chair took 83 minutes to reach an altitude of 98,268 feet where it broke and took just 24 minutes to fall back down to earth with the rig.

Aim

Showing the recorded and edited footage of the process and experiment of
going high altitudes with a camera, experimenting the conditions and changes
during the flight.

Travelling virtually between different distances.

Showing the whole process of making this project until the final experiment.

Edited footage will be set in a concept which is still unknown.
