Five friends from Harvard University decided to send a delicious hamburger to space. B.good, a local hamburger company in Massachusetts, was generous enough to help the students out and sponsor the entire mission (check them out at www.bgood.com). That was their burger! They are awesome.


The launch took place in Sturbridge, MA and reached a max altitude of 30000m. A 600g weather balloon filled with helium was attached to a GoPro Hero, HTC Rezound phone (GPS) and a Hamburger.

They launched it on the 27th of October, 2012 at 12:22 PM. The equipment was recovered via GPS tracking 130 miles somewhere north of Boston.
