Videos and Audio of Shuttle Launch and Sounds in Space ~ It has been over 18 months since the Special Edition DVD was produced and NASA has still not found a way to make it available to the public. Even after having the Riding the Booster video go Viral, we haven't been able to make headway to get the video content in the hands of the people.
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 30 years of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.
The video was produced by Matt Melis at the Glenn Research Center. Ben Burtt Jr. and Team at Skywalker Sound helped with
Riding the Booster Video.
