A very special but standard chicken nugget has recently been shot into space by a particular Iceland supermarket giant that was celebrating its 50th anniversary. An article by Daily Mail showed pictures of what is actually to be believed as the very first chicken nugget to ever fly all the way into outer space reaching a height of over 110,000ft or about 33,528m way above earth. In nugget computation, this should be enough to stack a total of 880,000 nuggets high.
The journey of the space Chicken Nugget
The popular breaded snack only took below two hours to actually reach the peak height way above the earth. This is one of the retailer's known popular items and it battled the temperature of about -60C or -76F while it was travelling way into the whole stratosphere from a particular location that was quite close to the company's own head office located in Deeside, North Wales.
A significant team of experts in the whole field of actual stratospheric exploration made use of a particular meteorological weather balloon that was then filled with hydrogen in order to be able to safely carry the known tasty cargo all the way into space. The given custom-designed launch vehicle has already included certain primary avionics, an integrated camera support system to be used to capture the nugget's video footage, and also an auxiliary satellite for it to be tracked.
