Four Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra units were sent nearly 23 miles above Earth to take high-resolution photos of the United States.
PetaPixel reports that four Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra units were sent nearly 23 miles above the Earth using stratospheric balloons. The latter are made from ultra-thin plastic and are filled with helium. They can’t be steered into the wind, so those hoping to send a balloon to a specific location have to find an altitude where the wind direction takes the balloon to the desired destination. Each Galaxy S24 Ultra was carried to its high-altitude destination by one of four balloons used for this endeavor.
Besides having its own Galaxy S24 Ultra, each balloon also featured a core flight computer.
