Catching a ride on a SRB??

[georgeniebling]

Where on the (left) SRB was that camera mounted?<br /><br />At what alt are they jettisoned? And to what altitude do they finally reach?<br /><br />That was an amazing video ... the SRB sounded nearly *alive* (crank the volume up) as it turned and twisted and fell ....<br /><br />

I caught the show in mid-stream and had no idea what is was at first. Then it dawned on me. It had me worried for a moment though....lol

Looks like they are going ahead with an inline SRB propelled manned vehicle.<br /><br />http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8812902/

Found a better Quality Vid @ <br />http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/video/shuttle/sts-114/html/fd1.html<br /><br />the realplayer clip does the sound a lot better than the windows media clip<br /><br />almost as good as the origional NASA TV (via the web!)<br /><br />enjoy!<br /><br />http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/video/shuttle/sts-114/real56/114_fd01_srb_lt_56.rm

"Do the math for max altitude."<br /><br />You'd have to know the angle at which the spacecraft is moving to do the math. Just knowing the speed (scalar) is not enough - you need the velocity, which is a vector.<br /><br />It's not vertical at separation.

and actually SG ... you more than answered my question and I want to thank you for that ... you're a true resource for us and we all too often forget to say thank you ....<br /><br />
