Will there ever be an opportunity for somebody on the ISS to follow and film a launch via the cupola?
Quote from: spacedive on 04/14/2010 06:40 amWill there ever be an opportunity for somebody on the ISS to follow and film a launch via the cupola?Probably not.The ISS is in a higher orbit than the shuttle's initial orbit, so when the shuttle makes it to orbit, it will be moving faster around Earth than ISS. As such, they launch a few minutes after the ISS passes over to give ISS some lead time so that the shuttle will catch up to it instead of racing ahead.
