Great launch last night , but unfortunately this mission does not favour European observers at all :O( ....shame as the climb out "could" have given me a 45 deg elevation visual pass. However a short clip of direct audio from Discovery ( UHF ) as it passed over the UK is at....... http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/sts116.wmv It was fed as an audio channel (right) to my NASA TV satellite feed during ascent. The sequence is as follows.... First mission control gives an OMS2 related command . Then the direct ( UHF) reply from Discovery is heard.That reply is then heard again as it goes through the NASA TV circuit....and finally the confirmation from Mission control. On screen were the launch replays. At the time Discovery was about 450 km down range passing over the South coast of the UK John http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/March2005.html ( ISS Images from the UK ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
