奧地利亡命跳傘員鮑姆加特納（Felix Baumgartner），將會挑戰人類極限，準備後天（周二）早上在美國新墨西哥州，從3.6萬米（12萬呎）高的太空邊緣進行太空跳傘，企圖創下四項世界紀錄。然而這次亡命跳傘風險極大，過程中只要稍有差池，就足以令他爆腦，甚至粉身碎骨，而整個驚嚇場面網上會直播。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。! o+ c7 Q7 `3 m" V' }/ b/ H

現年43歲的鮑姆加特納，為了這次壯舉，足足籌備和嚴格訓練了5年，7月時更在新墨西哥州上空2.9萬米試跳，並成功着陸，目的是要確保終極一跳時能順利完成。公仔箱論壇 T8 }: o7 u, u1 H) t& b
但從太空邊緣跳傘，畢竟難度和風險極大，如要克服極度寒冷、太空的真空狀態和溫度變化等因素，所以過程中每個環節都要一絲不苟，迫使鮑姆加特納一再改期。他原定8月進行這次創舉，其後改期至明天（周一），但由於天氣問題，地面風力時速超過3.2公里，不適合乘氣球升空，因此又押後多一天進行。& W( ~/ D W; ^. o3 X
若天氣許可，鮑姆加特納很可能在後天早上升空，但工作人員在凌晨時分已要開始準備，包括花1小時為他充氧，以清除體內的氮含量。他會穿上一件價值12.5萬鎊（156萬港元）的特製加壓服，可抵禦-70℃低溫和高壓，內層注滿加壓氧氣，以防他窒息，並配備監察追蹤裝置和通話器。
他之後會進入加壓艙內，乘坐一個有55層樓高的巨型氦氣球升空，而他升空和跳傘的全程，都會透過互聯網向全球直播。按照計劃，他約在3小時後升到3.6萬米高空，但最壞的情況是，若氦氣球在起飛後不久破裂，他根本沒時間逃出，直接墮地。5.39.217.76, T7 o. `7 m+ f( |; B

鮑姆加特納氦氣球預計在三小時後會升到太空邊緣。氦氣球隨着不斷升高變大。
當鮑姆加特納躍下後，很快就會以超音速下墮。在離地1,520米高時，他會打開降落傘。氦氣球會自行掉落地面。互聯網

全程約20分鐘着陸當他成功抵達太空邊緣，會透過加壓服的通話器與地面控制室聯繫，一收到訊號，他就會讓艙內減壓，並為加壓服加壓，然後打開艙門一躍而下。他會以超音速自由下降約5.5分鐘，屆時下降速度將達時速1,110公里，當下降至離地1,524米（5,000呎）高時，才打開降傘，如無意外，他會在15分鐘後着陸。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb! w( X2 j* h9 R' k( y
假如鮑姆加特納成功完成壯舉，將會一口氣刷新多項紀錄，包括跳傘最高高度、自由下降最高高度、最高速度、最長距離和載人氣球最高飛行高度。此前美國空軍上校基廷格於1960年由3.1萬米高空跳傘，創下最高跳傘紀錄。
但太空跳傘存在很大危險，假如加壓服破裂或下墮速度過猛或轉得太快，都足以致他死命，一旦失去知覺，體內血液沸騰、腦袋爆裂和眼球凸出而死。雖然鮑姆加特納跳傘經驗豐富，但他媽媽每次在他跳傘前都會點一根蠟燭，希望上帝能保佑他平安。他透露今次是最後一次亡命跳傘，之後會退休跟女友平淡過活。
他今次到太空邊緣跳傘，除了要創多項世界紀錄，還幫贊助商紅牛進行科研，利用有關數據研製出性能更佳的太空衣、降傘，以及研究改善太空人遇上高空災難時的逃生機率。公仔箱論壇1 |6 m8 N. D$ @8 e6 \

曾經偷偷溜上台北101大樓跳傘的奧地利極限運動家鮑嘉納(Felix Baumgartner)，9日將挑戰人類極限，如果天候允許，他將從太空邊緣、離地表約3萬6500公尺的平流層一躍而下，最高速度可達到時速近1100公里，期望一舉突破音障，挑戰世界紀錄。# c5 c. r9 _1 w& c& l$ a  S

搭乘氦氣球搭載的封閉艙緩緩升空，號稱「跳傘鐵金剛」的奧地利極限運動家鮑嘉納俯視腳下的美麗地球，從29公里高的同溫層一躍而下，這是他在7月的試跳，還沒打破52年前美國前飛官基廷格從32公里高空跳下的紀錄，因此鮑嘉納打算一口氣拉到37公里的太空邊緣，挑戰人體極限，「我將成為史上第一個打破音速自由落體的人。」

按照計畫，鮑嘉納將穿戴可供應氧氣的高空增壓衣跟降落傘，從加壓艙跳下來，以自由落體的方式下墜約5分30秒，墜落速度可望突破音速，達到每小時至少1100公里。鮑嘉納表示，「衝破音速障礙開始水平旋轉時，溫度急速下降，你可能會昏倒，可能因此死掉。」

鮑嘉納幾乎跳遍世界各大地標，包括台北101大樓、里約熱內盧耶穌像等地都有他的身影，下一步就是挑戰平流層，他原本打算8日從美國新墨西哥市升空，但由於氣候不佳延到9日舉行，這回玩命指數比以往更高，鮑嘉納坦承，害怕在所難免。「是會害怕，畢竟12萬英尺高空是非常惡劣的環境，不管準備如何周全，還是得真的嘗試了才知道。」tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb: a. O  X8 P8 M$ }- \: _3 g! a7 @

在跳傘過程最初階段幾乎是真空的狀態之下，跳傘落下的速度在40秒之內就可達時速1110公里。

雖然現年43歲的鮑姆加特納曾經多次從世界各地的摩天大樓跳傘，但是這次的跳傘高度，大氣壓力只有海平面的2%，因此他也將穿著特製的壓力裝和攜帶氧氣筒。

跳傘的地點是美國西部新墨西哥州的羅斯維爾，預計在當地時間早上7時30分升空（格林尼治時間13時30分）。

工程師設計了特別的壓力艙供鮑姆加特納升空時搭乘，鮑姆加特納的小組成員也相信，未來此一設計可以用來作新一代高空飛行器出現問題時的逃生工具。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。9 m% d$ U8 P, O; R& {- ~4 k7 \/ c

Wow, skydive and free fall from the edge of outer space, 36 km from the ground. The free fall is going to increase the difficulties because the gravity is pulling faster and faster not to mention the pressure and etc. Felix must be a real daredevil. I wish him all the best in performing this extraordinary jump.

太空邊緣狂人挑戰超音速跳傘
5.39.217.76! P4 m J5 S, D; z4 b7 ~, L
（中央社羅斯威爾8日綜合外電報導）奧地利極限運動家鮑加納（Felix Baumgartner）將於明天挑戰從太空邊緣、離地表約3萬7000公尺的平流層躍下，打破跳傘的最高高度紀錄，落下速度預料能突破音速。
; B' `9 B; ^/ @4 O% Y* M( e2 O7 j
43歲的鮑加納是直升機和熱氣球駕駛員，也是職業跳傘家，他完成許多著名景觀的定點跳躍，如里約的基督像，也曾經到台灣挑戰過101大樓跳傘。如今他將挑戰成為第一位從平流層自由落下的人。平流層的環境類似真空的外太空。

天候將是成功關鍵，鮑加納的團隊決定等待冷鋒今天通過預定跳傘區，才讓巨大但脆弱的氦氣球升空，帶著他到新墨西哥州羅斯威爾（Roswell）上空12萬英尺（3萬6576公尺）處進行挑戰。 - m- @$ c9 h% \- b

如果天候良好，熱氣球預計在當地時間明天上午7時升空，預計花2個半小時至3小時到達預定高度。 5.39.217.76' @& r b. v1 t6 |2 R& |

他將以超音速下墜將近1分鐘，整體自由落下時間5分35秒。

鮑加納從太空艙跳傘時的姿勢相當關鍵，由於周遭沒有空氣，他無法控制身體旋轉的方式，若是他在落下時快速旋轉，可能陷入昏迷，有眼部、腦部和心血管系統損傷風險。 . M6 A; W7 @: K# I4 \% Q

鮑姆加特納計劃於美國新墨西哥州東南部羅斯韋爾地區進行的一次3.7萬米高空極限跳傘活動，因風速太大，9日被迫取消。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb# L- Y2 _, E$ B) f9 T; P( Q8 L
公仔箱論壇$ m' O4 b/ e& y/ k# P0 z
跳傘原定於8日進行，但當天由於跳傘地點遭遇一股強冷空氣，溫度很低，風速也過大，活動被推遲。

據媒體報道，43歲的鮑姆加特納原計劃乘坐一個由55層樓高氦氣球攜帶的太空艙到達距地面約3.7萬米的指定高度，然後跳出太空艙，以自由落體直至超過音速的速度墜落，預計在不到20分鐘時間內從平流層降落至地面。一旦成功，他將成為首位超音速自由落體的跳傘運動員，同時打破速度和高度紀錄；如果降落過程出現閃失，他的身體乃至生命將面臨嚴重威脅。5.39.217.76& y; i: G4 n s9 @- _7 R

鮑姆加特納為此次極限跳傘準備了5年，配備的特製太空服價值12.5萬英鎊（約20.2萬美元），外表絕緣。

太空服密封內層填充加壓氧氣，胸包配備監控、追蹤以及地面通訊設備，手腕上的裝置可以讓他實時監測速度和海拔，護目鏡中裝有溫度調節器，防止霧霜影響視線。

The ascent took around two-and-a-half hours,  faster than expected. But there were fears the mission would  once again be  cancelled, after he reported that the heating device in  his visor was not working properly,  causing it to mist up.

He and his mentor, Joe Kittinger,  back in  mission control, discussed whether to terminate the attempt.  Kittinger, an  84-year-old US Air Force colonel who set the previous  freefall record in 1960  when he jumped from 102,800 feet, had agreed to  come out of retirement to help  Baumgartner set a new record.

But they decided to go ahead, and as  the  balloon stopped rising, Baumgartner began conducting his final exit  checks.  In his bulky, specially made suit, the skydiver had little room to maneouvre inside the capsule and had to slide feet first through the hatch.# U$ l0 S6 @% d" x

Gripping the hand rails on either  side of  the hatch exterior, he hauled himself up on to an outside  platform little  bigger than a skateboard. After a final salute, he fell  forwards in what his  team describes as ‘bunny hop’ – pushing out with  both feet at the same time to  avoid falling into a potentially fatal  flatspin.

As hoped, he was soon plunging down  headfirst through the air. His 70-strong team of engineers, doctors and  scientists, which spent five years planning the attempt, had estimated  he  would fall at around 700mph in the first 50 seconds.公仔箱論壇6 t- D- U* q7 s$ F% |# ^2 T' t: K

But he managed to plunge even faster, reaching 729mph during the first 50 seconds of the four minute, 22  second  freefall. He communicated with Col Kittinger via a radio built  into his suit  but he sounded largely unintelligible until he could be  heard complaining once  more about his visor fogging up. But by then he  was already falling into warmer  altitudes and by the time he had opened  his parachute, he had long since  regained control." j, i6 G; g7 |# n# S+ u% L

His success left Col Kittinger with  only one  record – for the longest time spent in a freefall. But he was  clearly as  relieved as anyone to see the others broken at last.

Baumgartner stepped out of a capsule  pulled  by a 55-story helium balloon after it had reached the height of  127,718 feet.  As he softly landed on Earth with the help of a parachute  about five minutes  later, Baumgartner raised his hands in victory.

'Sometimes we have to get really high to see  how small we are,' an exuberant Baumgartner told reporters  outside mission  control, shortly after the jump. He was expected to  offer more remarks at an  afternoon news conference.

Baumgartner was expected to hit a  speed of  690 mph before activating his parachute about 5,000 above the  ground in  southeastern New Mexico. A member of his team told  CNN that he achieved a speed of 833  mph, or mach 1.24 - breaking the speed of sound.% D% D& |, a4 G2 x

But none of that happened.  He  activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the  desert  east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty.

The  images triggered  another loud cheer from onlookers at mission control,  among them his mother,  Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion,  crying.

He then was taken by  helicopter to meet fellow members of his team, whom he hugged in  celebration.
The balloon is so delicate that it can take  off only if winds on the ground are 2 mph or less. Checking through an equipment  list from his seat in the pressurized capsule, Baumgartner, 43, expressed  concern that his astronaut-like helmet was not heating properly.5 C& ~, K- `. U" r0 I9 U9 G1 v

Weather conditions at the Roswell launch site  caused Tuesday's delay as Baumgartner's three-hour ascent in a high-altitude  balloon cannot start unless ground wind speeds are below two miles an  hour.

The record-breaking attempt had been  scheduled to begin at 11.30am but the launch was called off at 11.46am local  time.

Dr. Jonathan Clark,  Baumgartner's medical director, has told reporters he  expects the pressurized  spacesuit to protect him from the shock waves of breaking the sound barrier.

If all goes well and he  survives the jump,  NASA could certify a new generation of spacesuits for  protecting  astronauts and provide an escape option from spacecraft at 120,000  feet, he said.

Any contact with the  capsule on his  exit could tear the pressurized suit. A rip could expose him to  a lack  of oxygen and temperatures as low as 70 degrees below zero. It could  cause potentially lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids, a  condition  known as "boiling blood."

The nightmare scenario that Felix’s project  director likens to a ‘horror  film’ would involve his blood boiling, brain  bursting and eyeballs  popping out - all of it watched live via the internet  around the globe.

This may sound like the sort of  lunatic feat  that no one but a man who has spent 20 years at the more  extreme end of extreme  sports would want anything to do with.

He was dead by the time he landed, a victim  of ebullism, the terrifying  condition in which the drastically lower air  pressure above 62,000ft  makes liquids in the body start to bubble and vaporise,  inflating the  body and bringing unconsciousness within 15 seconds.

美國當地時間14日9時30分（香港時間14日23時30分），在美國墨西哥州東南部羅斯韋爾地區，奧地利著名極限運動員鮑姆加特納從3.9萬米高空攜帶降落傘自由落體跳下。

憑藉這一跳，他成為用最大氣球從最高地方以超音速自由落體降落到這個星球的人，打破多項健力士世界紀錄，他在飛行中的最高時速曾達到833.9哩/每小時（1342公里/小時）。

這位43歲勇士在隨後的記者會上說，「當我站在世界之巔，在地上的人們顯得那樣的渺小。在那樣的一個時刻，我已經根本不會考慮什麼破紀錄的問題了，當然那些所謂的科學數據也就顯得更加微不足道。我所考慮的唯一一件事，就是想要的是活著回來。」

要知道鮑姆加特納選擇起跳的位置，是一個幾乎快要衝出臭氧層的地方。當然需要一些必要的「武裝」，為此，鮑姆加特納把自己打扮得像一個太空人的樣子。同時，載他飛天的飛行器也十分吸引人，因為他並沒有乘坐飛機，而是選擇一個世界上最大的氦氣球將他帶到夢想之巔，當然，這個升空所花費的約2個半小時的時間也略顯漫長。5.39.217.76 O4 Y* ?' j! ?4 c

鮑姆加特納這一跳已經打破飛行高度最高的載人氣球，跳躍的高度最高，以及下落速度最快等世界紀錄，最令人激動的是這次自由落體的最高速度已經突破音速。

這次跳傘原定於本月9日進行，但因為天氣問題被迫推遲，因為鮑姆加特納升空所乘坐的氦氣球由高韌性的膠料製成，較為脆弱，如風速過大，任何細小的損害都可能導致中途墜毀的悲劇。
