Jumping from Space: A Journey of Discovery- Red Bull Space Dive -

Jumping from space, often referred to as a "space jump" or a "high-altitude jump," typically involves an individual jumping from a high altitude, usually within Earth's stratosphere, and freefalling before deploying a parachute to safely land on the ground. This concept gained significant attention with Felix Baumgartner's Red Bull Stratos mission in 2012.

Here's an overview of the steps involved in such a jump:

Preparation: Extensive training and planning are essential before attempting a space jump. This includes physical and mental training, understanding the equipment, safety protocols, and contingency plans.

Equipment: The individual undertaking the space jump wears a specialized pressure suit to survive the harsh conditions of the stratosphere, including low pressure and extremely low temperatures. The suit is equipped with a life support system to provide air and maintain suitable pressure.

Balloon Ascent: The jumper is carried to high altitudes by a large helium-filled balloon. As the balloon ascends, the atmosphere becomes thinner, and pressure decreases.

Freefall: At a designated altitude, the jumper exits the capsule or gondola attached to the balloon. The low atmospheric pressure at this altitude means that without a pressure suit, bodily fluids would vaporize at body temperature, leading to serious injury or death.
