The video shows the custom domed unit which appears to hold a few items, one of which is very likely an external battery since Insta360 only rates the battery of the camera to last 80 minutes and the company says it was able to continuously record in space for two hours, which doesn’t count the ascent time.

High altitude balloons generally reach a height between 18 and 23 miles above sea level, which matches Insta360’s claim that the balloon and camera floated to 100,000 feet and remained there for two hours. Clearly, the idea was to attach the Insta360 X2 to what appears to be a type of high-altitude balloon and see what would happen. The video is a result of a partnership with the Russian news agency, Roscosmos, SP Korolev Rocket. NewMakeIt describes itself as a collaborative facility that enables members of the local community to start innovative, creative, entrepreneurial, or learning endeavors by providing them with physical space, tools, and technology to turn ideas and turn them into reality. RT says that the video is the first 360 shot of earth from aboard the International Space Station. ![]()
