It's not every day the Minister for Tourism in Brussels lets you go up the oldest building in the most famous square in Belgium. We were absolutely privileged to be allowed this exclusive level of access to the world UNESCO heritage site dating back to the 1400s. Having tested ground conditions in the main square of the Grand Place, and found too much cross wind risking damaging the 17th Century Gothic buildings we approached the Minister for Tourism himself who suggested let

Visit Scotland. Seriously, visit Scotland! It's such an incredible place, full of mountains, lochs and highland cows. From the ancestral home of Neil Armstrong, the world's first Coosmonaut takes flight. Over half a century on from the first moon landing where astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins set off in Apollo 11 to take one giant leap for mankind, we take to the skies with a highland cow from the ancestral home of the Armstrong clan. It's also

We launched this laptop into space for the Origin trailer teaser starring Tom Felton. This 360 VR video gets you up close and personal with the Origin trailer as it floats high above the Earth in space. From the producers of The Crown and Lost comes the YouTube Originals series Origin, following a group of troubled passengers as they wake up on a damaged spaceship abandoned in deep space. Each having left behind a dark past in search of a fresh start on a newly colonized pl

If you or a loved one have always dreamed of becoming an astronaut then a space funeral with an Aura Flights launch could be the perfect way to go on a breathtaking final journey. This video shows you the process and what that journey looks like all the way up to the Stratosphere and to the edge of space. Aura Flights is the sister company of Sent Into Space, so it is the same launch team who guarantee you peace of mind that you're in safe hands. Since it began, just shy of

Our latest video takes you on board one of our space-capable weather balloons up to over 100,000 ft. At this height, colossal green and brown landforms can be seen, the exquisite glow of the horizon, brilliant blue oceans, and the stars of our Milky Way. Experience what it feels like to float in the barrier between sky and space on board a flight to the stratosphere in glorious 360 video. Our VR 360 space flight is produced by launching an advanced modified camera system into

In the quest to expand our understanding of the universe beyond our home, we've discovered that even the most innocuous objects and processes can function very differently in the environment of space. Over the years, human beings have managed to get all manner of objects in space - sometimes to learn more about how they behave, but just as often to achieve other goals. Some of those objects make a lot of sense - for example, who could be surprised to learn that we've sent mic

We decided to #passthepod and launch a photo of Peter Crouch and Andrés Iniesta into space with a friendly Alsatian

Last year we set a world record longest catch. Here's how we made it happen, dropping a bear from space.

Over the past decade and a half, YouTubers have been scrimmaging to decipher the ever-changing codes of the YouTube algorithm and social zeitgeist in attempts to gain viral attention and the lauded YouTube subscriber Play Buttons. From monotonous videogame commentaries and over-embellished vlogs, to short clips of slapstick humour and absurdly avaricious mukbang eating challenges, creators have tried any and everything. Here's how we beat the algorithm and organically grew a

We look back over the best launches from 2019 covering all the most interesting things launched into space in 2019

Why is Lego so popular? Lego has the highest revenue of any toy company in the world, outpacing giants like Mattel and Hasbro despite having far fewer properties under their banner. Famously, producing the wheels for their toy sets makes them the world’s largest tyre manufacturer. Since the introduction of their iconic plastic brick in 1947, they have expanded from Denmark to build offices across the world, Legoland amusement parks, and a line of successful video games and fi

Alpina’s watches are designed for adventure. Since 1883 they’ve been expanding the boundaries of timekeeping technology. Their watches have long been favoured by sportsmen, engineers, technicians and adventurers for their four principles of reliability: antimagnetic, antishock, water-resistant and stainless steel. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing this summer, Alpina released the AlpinerX Space Edition, with a beautiful matte blue and black colour scheme a

One of the reasons our launches hold so much fascination is because space holds so much symbolic importance for us. Across cultures, across the fields of science, art and spirituality, space means something more than just... well, empty space. It's no surprise, then, that we are often called upon by artists who want to use a space launch as part of their creative process. Today, we're sharing three of the most unique space launches we've done and exploring some of the artisti

Festival season is just around the corner and at Sent Into Space HQ, we’re already starting to get a bit excited about the prospect of seeing some of our favourite artists blasting out their biggest tunes in the summer sun, fingers crossed. With this in mind, the team were over the moon when Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday, and Kevin Baird - better known as indie legends, Two Door Cinema Club - asked us to help them launch their new album, False Alarm - literally! To celebrate t

In the vibrant tech landscape of the UK, Xiaomi , a brand synonymous with quality and accessibility, embarked on a remarkable journey with the Sent Into Space team. Their mission? To launch the cutting-edge Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 into space, reaching an astonishing altitude of 35,375 meters above the Earth's surface. This extraordinary event aimed to not only demonstrate the Redmi Note 7's durability and advanced technology but also to showcase its sleek design. Join us as we un

We launched our cameras into space to capture the greatest show on earth for the BBC. Launching one of our most daring missions ever from Fort Laramie, Wyoming we set out to capture the stunning spectacle of a solar eclipse from the stratosphere to be shown as part of the BBC series Earth from Space . We've been waiting to talk about this since it happened, August 21, 2017! Waking in time for a spectacular sunrise over endless plains our tracking team got to work preparing fo

Last year for April Fool's Day , we launched Jameson's limited edition Space-Aged Whiskey. Obviously, this was a light-hearted prank (although we did really send up several cases of whiskey which went to some of the world's leading cocktail bars). This year, the truth is stranger than fiction: we teamed up with the Robin Cancer Trust to send a pair of testicles into space. Yes, really. If you're wondering why we've done such a silly thing, it's all in aid of a rather more s

Earlier this month we were lucky enough to get our hands on a brilliant book by Professor Richard Wiseman. If that name sounds familiar, it's probably because he's everywhere. By day, Richard is Professor of Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, but he's also the host of several multi-million YouTube channels exploring science, psychology and magic, he's presented a number of TV shows and of course, he's a bestselling author. His latest work,

Gin has had a huge resurgence in popularity in recent years. Since 2016, the number of gin distilleries has almost tripled in the UK. With the rise in tastier tonics, even fancier fish-bowl glasses, and the extensive range of flavours and bases in the market, the modern gin boom is unlikely to dwindle anytime soon. The boutique gin company, Moonshot, came to us wanting a space-inspired promotional opportunity, and with a name as fitting as theirs, we couldn’t imagine a better
