A Smartphone attached to a balloon took to the skies on
Monday in an attempt to set a record for the highest live stream from such a
device. The Huawei “Honour 8 phone’’ was attached to a weather balloon also
carrying a camera and other equipment, and set off from the SSC esrange Space
Centre in northern Sweden.
The balloon was expected to burst at an altitude of 30,000
meters (98,425 ft) with the device, then making its way back down by parachute.
Peter Lundkvist of Huawei Technologies, Sweden said the balloon reached 18,421
meters before bursting. “Hopefully, Guinness (World Records) will accept this
as a world record in highest Smartphone live streaming,” he said.
