Com a ajuda da cápsula Red Bull Stratos (impulsionada por um balão de hélio com 30 metros), criada especificamente para este desafio, Daredevil efectuou o salto de teste a mais 21,8 Km de altitude, usando um fato espacial pressurizado. O saltou em queda livre, durou 3 minutos e 43 segundos, chegando mesmo a atingir velocidades na ordem dos 586,4 Km/h.
Este primeiro salto serviu de teste para o verdadeiro desafio que se segue, bater o recorde mundial em queda livre, fixado em 1960 por Joe Kittinger, capitão da Força Aérea Norte-Americana. Joe saltou a mais de 31 km de altitude e desde então, ninguém se atreveu a igualar o seu feito.
Se o salto final correr tão bem quanto o salto de teste, Daredevil fará o maior salto em queda livre de sempre, a mais 37 km de altitude. O salto irá ocorrer, por cima da cidade de Roswell, Novo México nos EUA, durante o mês de Julho.
A tal altitude, o paraquedista deverá experienciar temperaturas de -56,6 Graus Celsius e o voo em queda livre deverá durar mais de 5 minutos. Pelo caminho, o paraquedista irá atingir velocidades máximas de 1223 km/h, que desta forma lhe permitirá quebrar a barreira do som sem recorrer a qualquer tipo de impulso adicional.
With the help of Red Bull Stratos capsule (driven by a helium balloon to 30 meters), created specifically for this challenge, Daredevil made the jump test over 21.8 km of altitude, using a pressurized space suit. The jumped in free fall, lasted 3 minutes and 43 seconds, and even reach speeds of around 586.4 km / h.
The first jump was used to test the real challenge that follows, beat the world record in free fall, set in 1960 by Joe Kittinger, captain of the U.S. Air Force. Joe jumped to more than 31 km in altitude and since then, nobody dared to match his feat.
If the final jump run as well as the jump test, Daredevil will make the biggest jump in free fall ever, a further 37 km altitude. The jump will occur over the city of Roswell, New Mexico in the U.S. during the month of July.
To such an altitude, the parachutist will experience temperatures of -56.6 degrees Celsius and in free fall flight is expected to last more than 5 minutes. Along the way, the skydiver will reach speeds of 1223 km / h, which thus allows you to break the sound barrier without resorting to any kind of additional boost.
