Flight 3: Officially 75,560ft

The Near Space Photographer officially broke its old record ascending to 75,560ft even with a payload increase of nearly 1lb!

The central valley had completely clear skies allowing the NSP to see roughly 200 miles of coastline in a single frame. Appearing to be clouds is Sierra Neveda range in the east.

Video to come shortly but for now a few frames from the HD camera . Photos after the jump..
