Dr. Bertrand Piccard

Around the World on a Hot Air Balloon

Check Availability

Program Titles

Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, during the midmorning, soared into the history books when their balloon, Breitling Orbiter 3, sped at 130 miles an hour at an altitude of 36,000 feet over an invisible finish line at 9 degrees 27 minutes west longitude in Mauritania.

After riding the winds for nearly three weeks, the two pilots–Piccard, a 41-year-old Swiss psychiatrist whose grandfather invented the pressurized capsule for high-altitude ballooning, and Jones, a veteran British balloonist–took title to being the first balloonists to circumnavigate the globe by recrossing the westernmost longitude reached in their journey.
