Well, Attempts to develop a new flight profile to withstand the current wind conditions failed but they await new meteo data hoping the winds dropped...

QUOTE (Toma B @ Jan 17 2006, 06:54 PM) 1852 GMT (1:52 p.m. EST) A Lockheed Martin spokesman says the upper level wind issue is actually at an altitude of 800 feet. Attempts to develop a flight profile to withstand the current wind conditions failed the past two tries, he said.  That sounds like its going to be a scrub for today, with bad wx tomorrow too

QUOTE (dvandorn @ Jan 17 2006, 01:49 PM) I feel a little guilty, what with all of you trying to keep a streaming video connection going so you can see blurry images of the rocket. My cable system got its act together a couple of months ago, and we once again have a very nice, clean NASA-TV signal. And I have a DVR, so I'm recording the launch (though I've got a good hour of the thing just sitting on the pad at this point...  ...)-the other Doug May I recommend the XviD codec then, if you plan on posting the video? If you like, e-mail me and I can send you a nice tutorial on getting good results with Virtualdub.

In the afternoon, around Florida usually have lots of winds and I am afraid that its wind strength will last until late afternoon. When I was a university student, I have salied around Key Biscayne, Miami and I know that zone has good afternoon winds.
Hope that the sky becomes a good gentlemen for a while to let the NH to streak to Pluto. Rodolfo |

If you like, e-mail me and I can send you a nice tutorial on getting good results with Virtualdub. Personally, I'd go with the H.264 codec, IMHO it outclasses both XviD and DivX codecs. There's a free implementation available called x264 for AVI and as I understand, newer versions of QuickTime already support H.264. -------------------- |

Unfortunately, the DVR isn't connectable to my computer, and I have no stand-alone DVD recorder, so I have no way to port it to the PC for uploading... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Does anybody know if there's an onboard camera simular to the ones used on Delta launch vehicle showing the ride up into space with a good vantage point to see the solids drop away ?

Did anybody catch what that anomalous-sounding announcement just was?

Yes, there are 3 rocket cameras, two on 1st stage (one downward, one upward), one on 2nd stage (upward). |
