Seiko Astron | Space Time

Seiko Astron Space Time sends the time piece back where it belongs. Working with Jura Watches we chose this timepiece to fly into space. Clearly working for the entire flight it gives visual glimpse of how long our space flights last. For the keen eye, you'll spot our space capable weather balloon and parachute in the bezel - watch out for it bursting and the watch descend at over 200mph back to Earth. If you've ever wondered how long does it take to get to space and back, this is the video for you!

Sent Into Space are the Near Space experts.

We use lighter-than-air gas balloons to travel to the upper stratosphere into Near Space, where you can see the curvature of the Earth (Flat Earth believers need not reply!), the black vacuum of space and the thin blue line of the Earth's atmosphere on the horizon.

This is more than just a GoPro on a weather balloon. We build a bespoke launch vehicle for each flight utilising the latest in camera technology and long-range radio and satellite communications. We film HD video of the Earth from space for stunning images of the curvature of the Earth.

With over 500 successful flights over the last 8 years, we're the only company to go to when you want to launch something into space. To find out more, visit https://www.sentintospace.com
