Καλό αυτό που έχει δοκιμαστεί στο διάστημα πάντως...!
Μπορεί να θες να πας διακοπές στον Άρη ρε αδερφέ...
Εγω παντως το θεωρώ εντυπωσιακό αυτό που έκανε και σίγουρα πρωτοπόρο.
Nevertheless, what Fortis has done is actually very cool and does provide vital real-world data on the performance of the new Werk 17 movement. About six months ago, Fortis and SSC strapped 13 encased movements to a special gondola. The gondola was equipped with all sorts of sensors and cameras to monitor the movements during flight. The gondola was then suspended underneath a helium balloon calculated to reach a peak altitude of 30kms. The ride up looks fairly calm, but temperatures can plummet to -60°C, so it’s not something to be taken lightly.
And then the moment comes when the balloon bursts and the cradle plummets back to Earth at breakneck speed. A parachute is used to control the fall, but the fall looks quite rough and violent, judging from the footage (see video above). Once it reached Earth, it seemed that all the movements were running quite well actually, despite crashing into a tree. Upon first inspection, everything seemed fine, with just two of the thirteen movements performing below expectations. The others still performed perfectly. The movements were then taken back to Grenchen, Switzerland, to be taken apart, checked and tested for accuracy once more.
