STS-133 Thursday

[JPSan]

The audio from rangecast seems to be the same as the audio from NASA TV, but delayed about 2 minutes for me. Am I missing something?

This was a feed that covered ALL aspects of the Cape commmunications, from Police, Fire, Tower and a lot more...there P25 system. Majority of the talkgroups. Some real interesting behind the scenes action. Was great till it was overloaded by listeners logging on.

Definitely a nice concept.

Was great till it was overloaded by listeners logging on.

As I mentioned above, it was a problem at KSC. The pressroom Internet feed was being overloaded for everyone, so they were losing connection. It was recorded to have online later.

Here is the YouTube video that I made of the comms recorded here in north Georgia from my house.

Enjoy,

YouTube - STS-133....Discovery's Last Voyage

Excellent video and solid copy on the comms!

Picked up comms loud and clear on 259.7 just before and after MECO.

Godspeed Discovery! Its a shame to hear this is the last mission for her, such an iconic machine, hopefully they wont discard the names, Discovery is such a perfect name for a space shuttle

Does anyone know what the small black objects are, that you see at around 23-24 secs in the video below..flying off the orbiter, or some part of the whole assembly, its kinda hard to tell in the video.?

edit: Nevermind, I see after watching a few times its something in the back ground or a glitch in the camera or something..

There are Tyvek covers over the thrusters that point up when it's on the pad, keeping rain out. Those fly off a few seconds into flight if that's what you saw.

 

[NE1C4NSC4N]

It looks like what I saw was off in the distance, and it moves left to right across the screen, behind the shuttle I think, its actually around 18-20 secs in the video, if you look to the left of the shuttle you should see it.

 

[rdale]

Oh I see. That's a bird flying close to the camera from left to righ.

 

[NE1C4NSC4N]

yea, thats what I was seeing, dang birds!

LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE AND SPACE SHUTTLE TRACKING AND PREDICTIONS

Anyone listening in Europe? - they should be starting the EVA (spacewalk) right over Europe within 10 minutes

259.7 - 279.0 - 296.8 - 235.4 - maybe in use

 

[NE1C4NSC4N]

I've got all the channels programed in I could find in hopes of hearing something. Looks like they should still be working when they go over off the East Coast next pass today, in the next 30-60 mins.
