Cockpit Launch or Re-entry Photos?

[dcoffin]

Does anyone know if there are any shuttle cockpit photos of launch or re-entry available?

Photos I don't know about, but there have been several videos taken during ascent and entry. Try the NASA Image Exchange archives.

It's a tough find if they exist. It would be interesting to see what the pilots see during launch or re-entry.

I think when shuttle's front end lowers enough so that they could see something, they see not much different from what airplane pilots see.

They see plasma glow, plasma itself is too rarefied. And we see plasma glow almost daily, though not that close (plasma of the Sun heated to 6000 C <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />).

Your displays of ignorance get more and more unbelievable.<br /><br />The STS-107 entry tape ended several minutes before the breakup. It was on all the news shows.

I don't have cable, commercials make you dumb. I prefer to be ignorant rather than dumb <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Yes, ignorant is better. At least you can fix that. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />
