"Through the space dive, I want to collect more space data. Emergency may happen when a rocket launches, so astronauts can use the data to study how to escape. These data will also help the National Astronomical Observatories (under Chinese Academy of Sciences) collect cosmic dust for further study of components of cosmic materials."

Ye Chenguang, the holder of Chinese record for skydiving, officially announced in Beijing on Tuesday that he will do a dive of 43,000 meters, from the edge of space.

Ye broke the Chinese record for skydiving last year in the United States by jumping from 10,000 meters. He said he wants to challenge the current skydiving world record of 41,419 meters set by Alan Eustace.

"We have started the project since 2013. Last year, I made the new Chinese record by jumping from 10,000 meters. Actually, this is just a small part of our space diving project, and we will have jumps from 20,000 and 30,000 meters later. If nothing goes wrong, we will officially challenge the highest record by jumping from 43,000 meters in July or August next year," said Ye.

To complete the space dive, Ye will be dressed in a space suit and enter a protection cabin. Once helium balloons lift the cabin to 43,000 meters above the ground, Ye will jump from the cabin.

"After Chenguang gets off the cabin, his space suit will supply him with oxygen for less than half an hour. So he will have limited time to deal with emergency. As air is very rare at high altitude, the space diver is liable to experience violent spins and faint," said Ding Langnuo, the technical consultant of Ye Chenguang’s space diving committee.

Ye is now undergoing zero gravity and wind tunnel trainings in China and other countries and he said the space suit of 1.0 version and the model of protection cabin are ready.

If succeed, Ye will set many new world records, including the highest skydive and the longest and fastest free fall jump. Apart from breaking the records, Ye said this space jump will also help future space research.

"Through the space dive, I want to collect more space data. Emergency may happen when a rocket launches, so astronauts can use the data to study how to escape. These data will also help the National Astronomical Observatories (under Chinese Academy of Sciences) collect cosmic dust for further study of components of cosmic materials," said Ye.
