Hi Chris.
A friend who is interested in NASA told me about this site. I a teacher who is researching materials for a class about astronauts for my 8th grade students.
He told me there are some amazing camcorder videos on L2 filmed by the astronauts during a full reentry including through the fire of reentry and the landing segment.
Is that true?
If so, would I be able to show the videos to my class as part of the materials? I don't mind paying extra.
Thank you,
Margaret.
Hey Margaret -
Yep, we've got several of those videos on L2. They start just before the deorbit burn and run through to post landing checks, about 2hrs in length. Best one is STS-115's entry with Atlantis as it's visually wonderful and the crew are very chatty throughout.
L2 Link:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=4789.0 I can see you're a teacher per your e-mail address (only I can see it

) so I'll get you on L2 for free and you can use anything for your class.
Let me know if you need any additional help as we've got a lot more cool stuff in L2 that would get the kids excited. Any chance to get schoolkids into space flight is a big deal and we've helped a number of teachers over the years along these lines.
Check your PMs (the red "My Messages" on the top bar) for your L2 access confirmation message and quick look overview.
Best,
Chris.
