Samsonite propulse sa nouvelle valise depuis l'Espace
Picture MUST credit: Samsonite Travel gear maker Samsonite has taken one of its products to new heights — by dropping it back down to Earth from space. The US premium luggage firm took its new Proxis suitcase 40 km to the edge of space in collaboration with UK firm space launch company Sent Into Space. The Proxis features Samsonite's Roxkin outer shell, renowned for its lightness and strength. A cabin case weighing just over 2kg was selected for the mission. The launch , using a giant stratospheric hydrogen-filled balloon, was held just outside Las Vegas, Nevada at a secure launch site in the Mojave Desert. The one-of-a-kind spacecraft, designed by Sent Into Space engineers, was equipped with a flight computer with satellite and radio communications systems that allowed the team on the ground to track the craft's position in real-time and recover it swiftly on its return to Earth. A self-deploying parachute system brought the craft down at a safe and controlled speed, while a fleet of 360° and 4K camera systems documented the journey. The Proxis suitcase landed completely intact and, according to Samsonite, “without a single scratch.” Picture supplied by JLPPA

A cabin case weighing just over 2kg was selected for the mission.
The launch , using a giant stratospheric hydrogen-filled balloon, was held just outside Las Vegas, Nevada at a secure launch site in the Mojave Desert.
The one-of-a-kind spacecraft, designed by Sent Into Space engineers, was equipped with a flight computer with satellite and radio communications systems that allowed the team on the ground to track the craft's position in real-time and recover it swiftly on its return to Earth.
A self-deploying parachute system brought the craft down at a safe and controlled speed, while a fleet of 360° and 4K camera systems documented the journey.
The Proxis suitcase landed completely intact and, according to Samsonite, “without a single scratch.”

Travel gear maker Samsonite has taken one of its products to new heights — by dropping it back down to Earth from space.
The US premium luggage firm took its new Proxis suitcase 40 km to the edge of space in collaboration with UK firm space launch company Sent Into Space.
The Proxis features Samsonite's Roxkin outer shell, renowned for its lightness and strength.

At 4,000ft, Jordan Hatmaker pulled the string and realised something was very wrong. With the speed of her descent increasing, she braced herself for impact.
