    Thought this might be of interest of others, as it is the Space Shuttle
    variant of the Rocketcam:
    
    NASA Science News for September 26, 2002
    
    On October 2nd, NASA TV plans to broadcast the first live video from a
    space shuttle's fuel tank as it soars into Earth orbit on the belly of
    Atlantis and falls back again.

    I just downloaded the latest TLE for the ISS, and it looks like the
    launch will occur between 5:35 and 5:40 PM EDT (2135-2140 UT).  That
    falls within NASA's official launch window of 2-6 PM EDT.
    
    If that's decently close, then the policy of restricting the launch time
    until 24 hrs before is dealt another blow.And beginning 28 hrs before
    launch, you can know when the launch is *not* happenng...
    
    Sorry if this is off-topic.
