Author Topic: ARTICLE AND VIDEO: Riding onboard Atlantis during re-entry (Read 197091 times)

Update: We now have four of these videos (Endeavour's being the most visually stunning) on L2. The one below was the first we got hold of, and the following article is related to just that video.

http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2006/10/riding-onboard-atlantis-during-re-entry/

This is a short, lower res clipped highlight video from the 2 hour, 355 mb video on L2. The video wasn't released to the public (it was filmed for the middeck crew to watch re-entry on a monitor on the middeck.)

The L2 video is continuous from APU start, through to De-Orbit burn, Re-Entry and rolls - all hand held camcorder, HAC (HUD Cam) and landing, through to disembarking.

I wanted to allow as many people to see this as possible, given you don't normally get to see and hear this....and I didn't want to restrict it all to L2.

If you want to see the whole thing, L2's for you. For a taster, download from the attachment.

Enjoy!

ADDITIONAL: On request, we have attached another part of the video, a five minute clip of deorbit burn cropped from the full video is attached (actually not all that eventful compared to the rest of the video).

I've had to reduce the quality of this clip, as we did with the 'taster' so it uploads into this non L2 thread:

The full length is amazing. The most involving video for a Shuttle fan.

Superb. Amazing how calm and chatty they are. Love picking up on the chatter.

Wow.

Too bad no one decided to put a fixed camera for that, as they did for launch.

Damn Chris, you know how to tease people, it's awesome! I have to save before everything in L2 is too much to see in a lifetime!

That's a very nice thing to do for the middeck crew! I like the chatter about the plasma color.

They chat about the g increases (and adapting) quite a bit throughout the video.
One thing I was waiting for, but was never asked or mentioned was how 'heavy' the camera was beginning to get.

On the L2 video you hear Fergie say "I can start to feel my seat, I can even now feel my.... (laughter)"

I'm just up to that. Amazing video and I'm only a bit into it. Can't help thinking of Columbia's crew though
