Well with the size of consumer digital video cameras approaching very small sizes there is little reason to assume a system could not be rigged up to gain video.
In flight wireless system with a laptop getting the video. A system to get it transmitted live can be devised later.
Of course such a mod is rather pointless with the amount of flights the SCA will do with a shuttle is limited and over in 2010.

I have a feeling I'm gonna have this thread on refresh my entire 12 hour shift here at work
No cameras? Wow, that seems odd. Seems like nasa would want to document EVERYTHING. Oh well... if it was MY nasa...

I just figured they would have had this from before, even back at the approach and landing test phase... but I guess they used chase planes for that. Any chance they'll have a chase plane anywhere near it on this trip with a camera?
If nothing else I would think the extra few thousand to scamble a photo op flight would be worth it...

Probably some problems at GSFC which is where NASA TV is broadcast from.

It looks like the original plan to fly to Offutt is holding up since they have filed a flight plan to continue there. It looks like the folks in Nebraska will get to look after her overnight.
Takeoff from AMA at around 12:45 ish central time. The 38 will be right behind it and the C-9.

Odds are whoever is in charge of the broadcast at GSFC is off for the weekend- this is really a junk broadcast, similar to the landing broadcast problems

I was wondering that too but couldn't get any googled images of previous stopovers.
