View from a booster
There’s a great video available in the website of the current shuttle mission (STS-121): it is the view of the launch from the camera mounted on the side of one of the boosters, looking towards the shuttle’s wing.
The video shows the launch, climb and separation, and keeps on following the booster falling back to Earth until it gently lands on the ocean and stays there, bobbing up and down, waiting to be rescued.
To view it (Windows Media only), go to the STS-121 main page and click on “Right Forward Solid Rocket Booster Video” on the right column, underneath “Related multimedia”. Or, if it’s not there anymore, try clicking here.
