A Basque cake in outer space!

On Wednesday 24th October 2018, the first Basque cake to conquer space took flight.

The latex balloon is inflated with helium
The Basque cake took its place in the basket

 

 

Well attached to his basket, he was photographed against a backdrop of black sky and the Bay of Biscay, before reaching an altitude of 38,673 m!

The balloon burst and it’s the descent with the parachute…

The little astronaut kept the suspense of his destination until his landing in Sames (64)!

Mission accomplished for the ESTIA team (Daniel SourgenDenis Geral EstiaESTI’Aéro et Estia System)!
