🐹 A hamster has successfully returned to Earth after being launched into the stratosphere on a flying balloon
A hamster has successfully returned to Earth after being launched into the stratosphere on a flying balloon.
The spaceham reached a maximum altitude of 14 miles - and is in good health after being safely recovered from the sea off Japan's Miyako Island. According to Iwatani Giken, the company behind the daring experiment, the hamster was placed in an airtight cabin 60cm high and 50cm in diameter, with the same atmospheric pressure and temperature as the ground.
One photograph showed the rodent looking wistfully out the window while seven miles above the Earth.The balloon was launched from Miyakojima, a city in Okinawa Prefecture, and climbed at an average of 6.3 metres per second. A camera installed inside the cabin showed the animal snoozing comfortably during the gradual ascent.
