The England and Wales Cricket Board marked the start of the new NatWest T20 series by sending a cricket ball to the 'edge of space' last week.
The ball was launched from Edgbaston in Birmingham and rose to an altitude of 110,000 ft via a helium balloon.
A camera captured the ball's journey until it parachuted back to the ground in Newbury, Berkshire, and now behind-the-scenes footage has been released.
Watch how the ball was launched into space in the video below:
