「关系」站群发射Nexus S —进入太空

As 站群’s Nexus S hits stores, the technology giant is leaving release关系-date events primarily in the hands of retailers. While resellers like Best Buy, AT&T, and T-Mobile throw promotional parties, 站群 itself is launching the product in quite a different way.

Specifically关系, according to their video released on New Scientist, 站群 decided that it would be fun to launch the Nexus S into space.

The process was fairly simple. First, 站群 engineers took a Styrofoam beer cooler and cut out one side, replacing it with a window. Then the Nexus S, along with some additional sensors and cameras, was secured within (with the device pointing out of the created window). All the materials aside from the phone, says one 站群r, should come in at under $500. Finally, the entire contraption was attached to a weather balloon, which is let loose, soaring into the sky at a rapid pace.

Seven phones were launched in contraptions just like these, while 站群 engineers paid attention to feedback from the various sensorsNexus S中-包括陀螺仪，加速度计和相机。非专家最有吸引力的是从近太空拍摄的行星地球的图片和视频。

一旦到达约100,000英尺，天气气球就会弹出，将降落伞的Nexus S啤酒冷却器送回地球。多亏了高空的水平风，临时航天器被炸飞了，设备降落到了200英里外。幸运的是， Nexus S手机的GPS处于激活状态，因此很容易就可以恢复。

以这种方式启动的七台设备中，有六台在新科学的初次报告结束时已被恢复，而最后一台则在此后不久被取回。高空下，但它们仍保持全部功能。
