...Baumgartner hopes to become the first person to break the speed of sound during free fall. If successful, he will set a new record for the highest and fastest human free fall in history.
After liftoff, it will take nearly three hours for Baumgartner to ascend to 120,000 feet above Earth three times higher than the cruising altitude of commercial aircraft. Upon exiting his mission capsule, Baumgartner will jump head first, testing the limits of scientific knowledge as he flies toward Earth at supersonic speeds of 690 mph (Mach 1).
Baumgartner will reach the speed of sound in less than a minute and continue in free fall for five whole minutes before he opens his parachute at 5,000 ft. If all goes according to plan, he will be back on solid ground in 20 minutes.
