Does anyone have the video from this RSLS abort?
« on: 09/09/2012 05:32 am »
Hello, first time posting here, please forgive any mistakes in forum policy or etiquette that may follow in this post.

I believe the attached image of an RSLS abort to be from STS-68, as I've gone through the other RSLS abort videos, and judging by the tail it's clearly either Endeavour or Discovery/Atlantis post drag-chute installation (thus eliminating any aborts before 1992). I've never seen the sprayers start spraying the SSME's prior to all signs of life in the engine being gone, thus making the shot (and I hope the associated footage from this angle) rather dramatic.

I found it (and this forum actually) on the below link, but have had no luck locating the video or any other associated images:

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately that one doesn't have the camera angle from that image. I've confirmed from the other footage that it is indeed from STS-68's abort, and I even went through the CNN footage available, but I just can't find that one angle (camera 071, whereas all the launch footage I've been able to locate is from 070).

I'm sure it's somewhere here on NSF, probably L2 or one of the Shuttle Q&A threads, but I can't find it online. Since I've got a copy of that short clip, I'll attach it to this post.
