Mission UMBRA
Capturing a total solar eclipse from the stratosphere
Our last flight titled Mission Umbra aimed to film the solar eclipse that occurred on April 8, 2024. A rare opportunity to capture exceptional images from a completely unique perspective of the moon's shadow cast on the surface of the earth, moving at more than 4000 km/h on our planet.
The mission was a success, not only on a technical level but also on a human level. Two and a half months of human adventure which ended when Dorothy gently landed in the mountains of Maine in the United States. It flew over the Mégantic region in Quebec (Canada) for 2 hours 20 minutes, reaching a height of more than 34,000 m, and brought us exceptional images thanks to its 4 on-board cameras.
Altitude : 34 km
Shadow diameter : 175 km
VR EXPERIENCE
A 12-minute immersive journey in 8K definition !
You soar above the Earth, witnessing the Moon's shadow move across its surface. Guided by Dorothy, the narrator, you are taken through a blend of science, art, and poetry, making for a truly beautiful and emotional experience.
The film was presented to the festival "L'ASTRO-FEST" and "FESTIVAL DU NOUVEAU CINEMA" in Montréal in 2024. The feedback we received from the public was overwhelmingly positive.
