STS-65 Launch Superimposed Cockpit

[TheJacinte]

it looks like they broke the sound barrier at 1:30 .i think it takes a while because it must be heavier than let s say a f18and not as aerodinamic .maybe i m wrong

[AtlantisB737]

@TheJacinte its actually easier because as they climb speed of sound decreases. Speed of sound varies directly with temperature.

Any ideas what that is at 1:30?Surely not a sonic boom as they would be supersonic before that!

No it's about the right time to go super-sonic - don't forget how damn heavy that bird is on take off - she gets extremely quicker the lighter it gets.

Excellent!
