Hi all, It's quite disturbing to notice the fact that launch tracking cameras didn't seem to be watched by anybody in mission control !!! I watched the launch live yesterday on NASA TV and we could very clearly see that a short time after first stage separation, the rocket was flying sideways. I told myself that's it, the mission is over and they will send a destruct command. But to my complete amazement, the commentator, who was obviously checking telemetry data, kept on reporting that everything was nominal until the end. Maybe each mission control could supply access to satellite TV to many members of this list and assign a tracking camera to each one to monitor a launch in real time :-) Dan -- Daniel Deak representant, projet spatial Starshine Drummondville, Quebec COSPAR site 1746 : 45.8537°N, 72.4857°W, 90 m., UTC-4:00 Site en francais sur les satellites: French-language satellite web site : http://www.obsat.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
