Introducing Project Swift, a thrilling venture spearheaded by Star Galactic and set to take off on May 1st. This project is all about pushing boundaries and exploring the great unknown. A weather balloon will ascend to an incredible height of 100,000 feet above the Earth's surface, armed not with fancy weather instruments, but with a simple yet powerful 5.7K camera and a trusty satellite tracker.

With its 5,7K camera, Project Swift promises to provide breathtaking views of the Earth from a perspective few have ever witnessed. From the majesty of the curvature of the planet to the vastness of the atmosphere stretching out in all directions, this footage will offer a unique glimpse into the wonders of our world.

And let's not forget about the satellite tracker, ensuring that we can follow the balloon's journey every step of the way. From launch to landing, we'll be able to monitor its progress in real-time, adding an extra layer of excitement to the adventure.

But that's not all! To share this incredible experience with the world, Star Galactic will be posting a Youtube video of Project Swift's journey. So, mark your calendars for May 1st and join us as we embark on this thrilling journey with Project Swift. Get ready to see the world from a whole new perspective!
