To celebrate the launch of Astroneer, we decided to do something a little crazy…send a brand new Xbox 33km into the Stratosphere, and livestream the whole thing.
This was a multi-step process, and fellow team members Riley and Spencer did an amazing job breaking down the console and turning it into a payload that we could fly via weather balloon. After some careful prep by Riley to create a proper launch window, the mounted GoPros captured the entire trip up to the Stratosphere, and we made the livestream content and video!
