Skydiver Breaks The Speed Of Sound
极限运动员超越声速
Felix Baumgartner, a skydiver from Austria, jumped out of a capsule from 39 kilometres over the New Mexico desert and broke the speed of sound. The pressurized capsule was carried up to the edge of space by a massive helium balloon. Baumgartner’s free fall lasted for four minutes and 20 seconds before he deployed his parachute and descended for five more minutes. In addition to reaching an estimated speed of 1,342 kilometres per hour, Baumgartner also broke the record for the highest sky jump and the highest flight in a helium balloon. The pressurized suit Baumgartner wore kept him alive during the free fall, and will help scientists design future high-tech spacesuits.
在新墨西哥沙漠，奥地利跳伞运动员菲利克斯·鲍姆加特纳从3.9万米太空舱跳伞，下落速度超过风速。太空舱通过氦气气球升至太空边缘。在打开降落伞进行减速下降之前，鲍姆加特纳的自由落体耗时20分20秒，减速下降时间超过5分钟。除了预计的每小时1342公里外，鲍姆加特纳还打破了最高海拔跳伞，以及载人氦气球最高飞行记录。在自由落体时，鲍姆加特纳的压力服至关重要，它将帮助科学家研制高科技太空服。
