STS-51F ABORT TO ORBIT

This video is a reconstruction of the only Space Shuttle launch abort in it's 30-year history, using the NASA TV video alongside simulator and graphics.

Coverage begins at T-20 minutes in the countdown. Film taken on the day shows the inside of the launch control center and the Kennedy Space Center, the crowds waiting for the launch and crew breakfast/walkout/orbiter ingress.

A stylised countdown checklist is used to the zero point in the count.

Multi angles of launch are used along with MOCR footage of the flight director/Capcom/booster officer and simulator/graphics to show different stages of the launch and powered flight stage.

After Main Engine Cut Off, TV coverage continues, with simulator and photos from the mission. The coverage ends before the OMS 2 burn.

Nice video.  Very comprehensive.

And I think is aproppiate to post a link to an old thread about Zaragoza AFB, where this mission could had landed.

And here is a link to my blog, it's a post (in spanish) when I met astronaut Gregory "Box" Johnson, former astronaut that was assigned as the last TALcom for the shuttle here, on the eve of the STS-135 launch.

I'm trying to find a video I've seen of STS-51F Abort to Orbit with internal mission control conversation.  The video showed a graphic layout of Mission Control and would highlight who was talking during the video. I've searched all over for it.  I think it's in L2 but not positive. Thanks.

Are you thinking of "The all-eventful STS-93 launch?"
