The internet is always awash with amazing videos showcasing everything that goes on around the world, and this week is no different as a group of students captured this amazing footage from a GoPro camera they launched into space two years ago.

The footage was only discovered recently after a bunch of students created their own 3D printed case and launched a GoPro, Sony camcorder and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 into the skies back in June 2013. The 2 year wait for the students was well worth it as the footage has gone viral with over 2 million views on Youtube already. The amazing scenes could have been released a lot sooner but the students only managed to find the phone and camera after a prolonged search, it is understood the phone was supposed to send a text message revealing its location but never manged to do so because  it was too badly damaged. However someone managed to find it recently and contact the owners.

Check out the amazing footage below showing the Grand Canyon from a great height.
