Boston school uses iPhone for space photo mission

Students have captured images of the earth from space after launching their own mission.

The pupils, from Giles Academy in Boston, Lincolnshire, used a balloon fitted with an iPhone and camera to take pictures from 18 miles above the earth.

A parachute system was then used to return the equipment - which was tracked using satellite technology - to Downham Market, Norfolk, some 40 miles away.

The flight captured more than two and a half hours of footage.
