In an extraordinary collaboration, DJI teamed up with Chinese spaceflight company LandSpace to outfit the Zhuque-3 reusable rocket with twelve Osmo Action 6 action cameras. These devices were positioned strategically across the rocket, offering continuous footage from liftoff through the fiery re-entry phase, concluding with a precise vertical landing.
The cameras, untouched from their off-the-shelf design, endured the extreme conditions of space travel. This includes the immense pressures during launch and the intense heat generated upon re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. Their performance highlights their robust build, capturing breathtaking footage that takes viewers from ignition to a smooth return.
