Also asked to begin maneuver to burn attitude at 00/03:20, or about 20 minutes before the burn starts.
In the maneuver now.

Re: live TV of NC-1, not sure, but they'll be on TDRS-Z in about three minutes. Not sure if they have TV capability on Z-275.

Kinda off topic but has anyone ever got or taken pics of a TDRS in Orbit?

Running an interesting Shuttle Showcase piece on STS-1, from the spectator point of view.

Ascent Flight Control Team video replay coming up at the top of the hour.

Shuttle Showcase was excellent. The white external tank was nice to see, even if the paint cost 600lbs of upmass.

Replay running...a little bit of the audio of OVCC signing off the net in this.

extended ET video seemed to have worked, at least over europe.
captured 24 mins after launch
Reception used to receive this is a 90cm mesh dish with 3,5 turn RHCP Helix for 2250 MHz, EME103B S-Band LNA and a G1MFG S-Band video receiver.

Sorry to spam this thread, but is there a link to a video that would start from the T-9 GO-/NO-GO poll and end all the way to orbital insertion? I was away for the launch and would really like to enjoy the entire show now.

Did you check these? Not all-encompassing, but good

Yes I did, and those didn't have the GO/NO-GO poll.
