Skydiver Breaks The Speed Of Sound
極限運動員超越聲速
Felix Baumgartner, a skydiver from Austria, jumped out of a capsule from 39 kilometres over the New Mexico desert and broke the speed of sound. The pressurized capsule was carried up to the edge of space by a massive helium balloon. Baumgartner’s free fall lasted for four minutes and 20 seconds before he deployed his parachute and descended for five more minutes. In addition to reaching an estimated speed of 1,342 kilometres per hour, Baumgartner also broke the record for the highest sky jump and the highest flight in a helium balloon. The pressurized suit Baumgartner wore kept him alive during the free fall, and will help scientists design future high-tech spacesuits.
在新墨西哥沙漠，奧地利跳傘運動員菲利克斯·鮑姆加特納從3.9萬米太空艙跳傘，下落速度超過風速。太空艙通過氦氣氣球升至太空邊緣。在打開降落傘進行減速下降之前，鮑姆加特納的自由落體耗時20分20秒，減速下降時間超過5分鐘。除了預計的每小時1342公里外，鮑姆加特納還打破了最高海拔跳傘，以及載人氦氣球最高飛行記錄。在自由落體時，鮑姆加特納的壓力服至關重要，它將幫助科學家研制高科技太空服。
