Up in the sky high above the state of New Mexico in the US, Felix is preparing to jump from the pod. He fell 22km and landed safely in Roswell.
Felix wants to break this man's record. US Air Force Colonel Joe Kittinger jumped from just over 31km in 1960. Felix hopes he can get even higher and set his own world record.
Checking how high up he is, his oxygen supply, his speed as he falls and how cold it is outside are just some of the things the control room on the ground has to monitor.
The Austrian Skydiver Felix Baumgartner is preparing to set a new world record for the highest free-fall jump. On 15 March he did a jump from 22km above the Earth, to test his equipment.
Felix hopes this jump will prove to Nasa that astronauts could jump from their spacecraft if something goes wrong during a launch.
His special suit is tougher than an astronaut’s! It gives him oxygen and helps protect him from the extreme cold temperatures high above the Earth.
This huge balloon is attached to the pod which will take Felix up to 36.5km - that’s over four times higher than Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth!
