Artist's Description
Project Excelsior. Historical image of US Air Force (USAF) captain Joseph William Kittinger II (born 1928) during the Excelsior III parachute descent on 16th August 1960. Project Excelsior was a series of three high-altitude parachute jumps made by Kittinger that used helium-filled balloons to carry him into the atmosphere. This third descent was from a record-breaking height of just over 31 kilometres. As well as the highest balloon ascent, this was the longest free-fall (over four minutes) and fastest speed (nearly 1000 kilometres per hour). The descent over New Mexico, USA, took 13 minutes, with a pressure suit worn due to the low temperatures and pressures.
