For British viewers, BBC4 this sunday at 10pm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13002218 Steve Slater is a pretty young filmmaker, but he's really trawled through the archives to find good footage (the trailer on the site above has some gorgeous slo-mo closeups from the cameras on the tower at the Cassini launch. We did some shooting at the London Science museum a couple of summers ago. Beyond that, I don't know how it has turned out, but I think UMSF viewers will likely enjoy it. |

The slow-motion images of the T4B lifting off the pad are amazing. I have not seen that footage before.

I remember an Open University program that was shown quite a few times late at night on BBC2 that followed the construction of the penetrometer

Just watched the repeat of this program. Easily one of the best science documentaries I've ever seen.
And you came across really well, Ralph. -------------------- |

Great documentary, thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing I found odd was that in an hour long program, we never actually saw the image from the surface...just the 3D estimated rendering inspires BY the image from the surface.

It's now available on youtube. Very pleasant documentary.

Fantastic documentary for a wonderful story...
The maneuver to correct for the mismatched communication frequencies (3rd orbit release) : Awesome! Belated congratulations to all concerned. -------------------- 'She drove until the wheels fell off...'

I thought it was excellent. However, I did wonder why there wasn't much about the loss of the Channel A data.
