The best of the best in film & high def of unseen NASA videos. It pays tribute to the shuttle program, people involved with the launches and give a view to pictures that were used for only engineering purposes. This is what happens when a shuttle launches.
This is a 45 minute video with commentary by NASA engineers explaining all the technical details.
Pretty fascinating.
Photographic documentation of a Space Shuttle launch plays a critical role in the engineering analysis and evaluation process that takes place during each and every mission. Motion and Still images enable Shuttle engineers to visually identify off-nominal events and conditions requiring corrective action to ensure mission safety and success. This imagery also provides highly inspirational and educational insight to those outside the NASA family.
This compilation of film and video presents the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery from STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124 missions. Rendered in the highest definition possible, this production is a tribute to the dozens of men and women of the Shuttle imaging team and the 30yrs of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.
The video was produced by Matt Melis at the Glenn Research Center.
