Print versionSeveral technology enthusiasts will try to take Lithuania's flag into the stratosphere on the occasion of the country's independence centenary, informs LETA/BNS.
Under the
project, called "The Tricolor in the Space", a weather balloon filled
with hydrogen gas would take the flag up some 30 kilometers on September 1 and
the balloon will later collapse and safely land with the help of a parachute.
The
organizers plan to put photo and video cameras on the balloon for the flag to
be recorded.
"I
have always had the idea of taking pictures from as close as possible,"
programmer Raimondas Zvirblis, one
of the people behind the idea, told.
