wowwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <br /><br />Very cool! <img src="/images/icons/cool.gif" /> <br /><br />This year alone (thanks to NASA) I've seen some amazing shuttle launch video/photos never seen before.<br /><br />Have you guys seen that video clip where SRB disconnects from the shuttle and the orbiter/ET go blazing off into orbit? Or the video with a view from the SRB-mounted cam following the SRB all the way from jettison to splashdown (don't know what altitude that was from... no doubt the experts will know)?<br /><br />Even ISS video coverage has gone HD!<br /><br />Gimme more! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

Probably not eligible being a public agency and all, but an interesting question.<br />Time to research the rules. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Has any of this spectacular footage from the last couple missions been getting any airtime on the news? It'd be good interest material if it was.

 

[josh_simonson]

A guy at work had this hanging outside his cube and it was labeled as from ISS. That means it's probably waaay to late to set the record strait except on snopes.com.<br /><br />http://www.snopes.com/photos/space/shuttlelaunch.asp

" The same NASA aircraft will be here for the STS-116 launch"<br /><br />It sure will be interesting to see similar pics of a night launch!

 

[dreada5]

But are these aircraft photos readily available for download from NASA.gov post-launch???<br /><br />I've never seen these type before, although I know NASA chase planes are airborne during launch.

 

[rocketwatcher2001]

About an hour after those pics were taken that airplane flew right over the soccer field were my son was playing(1 mile from PAFB) at about 500 feet. It both looks and sounds really cool. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
