Pictures: Cumbria from space
This is how west Cumbria looked from space this afternoon.
Pupils from Cockermouth School were celebrating this evening after successfully sending a camera into space and getting these pictures.
'The A Team' launched their balloon at 9am this morning from the playing fields at the school. The balloon landed at 2:30pm just a few miles away.
As well as these pictures the students also have maps tracking the direction the balloon travelled.
They will now put the footage together to make a short film.
