The last time I looked, F1 Cars did not have quite the aero environment that the shuttle does, but they might be getting there.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

Is it the AVS of DVS system?

Will the footage from these ET cams be publicly available or broadcast--provided that there isn't another disaster?

Nacnud: Indeed. Very clever cameras, and very small. No idea if they could place it on the tank as the cam on the F1 cars are embedded into the car. (Above and to the left of the driver in the housing of the top air intake).<br /><br />http://www.f1-pics.com/spain01/spain2001_076.jpg

They should get them to work before putting cameras on them.

Well, considering that the purpose of the cameras is to find out how well they work, that's a rather recursive proposition. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
