On 14 October 2012, Baumgartner flew approximately 39 kilometres (24 mi) into the stratosphere over New Mexico, United States, in a helium balloon before free falling in a pressure suit and then parachuting to Earth . The total jump, from leaving the capsule to landing on the ground, lasted approximately ten minutes . While the free fall was initially expected to last between five and six minutes, Baumgartner deployed his parachute after 4 minutes and 19 seconds . </P> <P> Reaching 1,357.64 km / h (843.6 mph)--Mach 1.25--Baumgartner broke the sound barrier on his descent, thus becoming the first human to do so without any form of engine power . Measurements show Baumgartner also broke two other world records . With a final altitude of 38,969 m (127,851 ft) (23.3884 miles), Baumgartner broke the unofficial record for the highest manned balloon flight of 37,640 m (123,491 ft) previously set by Nicholas Piantanida . He also broke the record for the highest altitude jump, set in 1960 by retired USAF Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who was Baumgartner's mentor and capsule communicator at mission control . These claims were verified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). </P>
