Dr. Craig Coburn and his Remote Sensing 4650 class launched a high-altitude balloon that scraped the edge of outer space. The balloon was outfitted with a variety of sensors and cameras and created as a class project. It reached the upper limits of the atmosphere before bursting at 30,132 metres, all the while collecting images and data the students later interpreted.
