Skydiver Felix Baumgartner has outlined his plans to break several world records as he jumps from the edge of space. He is planning to break the record for the highest free-fall from approximately 120,000ft and hopes to be the first person to break the sound barrier without the aid of a machine travelling up to 690mph.
Baumgartner and his team have been preparing for the jump for some time and the suit itself has taken five years to develop.
Members of the stunt include Col Joe Kittinger, who currently holds the world record for the highest jump; he successfully jumped from 102,800ft from a gondola attached to large helium balloons.
