<p>There are about sixty possible sources for ice particles on the Shuttle; these particles can follow the vessel in space for some considerable time, so not all the particles visible in the clip need be explained by a single dump. </p><p>Additionally the three-dimensional movement of the Shuttle and any observers looking out of the windows has to be taken into consideration.&nbsp; Imagine you are in a snowstorm, with snowflakes falling in practically random directions; now omagine you are on the outside of a gently rotating cyinder which can move at irregular intervals under its own power. This is what the situation is like looking out of the Shuttle at ice particles. </p><p>In the past I have suggested that stereo cameras might be useful to demonstrate that these objects are small, and close to the ship; but even then, no doubt, one or two particles will occasionally be seen that could give rise to parallax error, so even&nbsp;this method might not be worth the extra expense.</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>---------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>http://orionsarm.com  http://thestarlark.blogspot.com/</p> </div>
