Don't know how I missed this vid. It was really fantastic! I agree with SenyorPony - what a fantastic vantage point. Have you had a chance to check out my launch vid yet ? It is also extremely loud.
I went up to Florida for a shuttle launch years back, and was very close to where this video was taken. I can say from experience(to all of you who criticize the sound quality), this video is as clear and as accurate as it gets unless you're actually at a launch.
@124simran this is excellent video and angle... good sound. I will defer to those have watched a launch.. but the other one" the real sound of a shuttle STs 117" is how I imagined it sounds when there. The wind noise can be filtered with one of those foam things I believe..
i think u have to be there in order to actually feel the full sound the closest ive been is 3 miles and thats like being right there the sound pounds u to the soul u have to put on ear plugs and even with those its deafening
@SenyorPony to view a launch you have to register for a lottery on KSC's website. Unfortunately the registration has already taken place a while ago and the tickets are already sold out. I go tickets to view the launch from the US Astronaut Hall of Fame. I wanted the visitors center, but they were sold out in 15 minutes
Wow! I have a subwoofer below my desk connected to my computer, and this video actually made my desk rumble! Awesome video! I think I'm going to try playing this on the sound system in our planetarium. :)
I've had the experience once of being at an airshow where the f-18 fighter jet didn't just do fly-overs, but approached the crowd and did a staight vertical above us. An indelible experience! The power coming from such a small machine, the sense of spatial area to the sound, ear splitting volume, and the 'rippingness' of it is hard to descibe well enough with words. To get the actual experience recreated by video and state-of-the-art audio capture, I don't think we're there yet.
Endeavor launch STS-118 by 'BlueStar118' (the one that says CAUTION! LOUD!!), is *by far* the best shuttle launch video in terms of capturing the *sound* of a shuttle launch. Nothing from youtube of course would come close to experiencing the real thing, but that video (Endeavor launch STS-118 by 'BlueStar118' ) probably comes as close as you can get. With loud speakers or headphones (the louder, the better), you could have an impressive experience.
My parents were there for a Space Shuttle Launch in 1993 and said it was the absolute most incredible experience they had ever had. My dad said he couldn't believe how loud it was and how much the ground rumbled under his feet given the distance from the launch site. Equally amazing to him was how fast the Space Shuttle was gone and completely out of sight.
How loud is it irl? Ive read that its about 200db around the pad, and that they use water to "cool" down the acustics. The "roar" does seem to be a big part of the experience.
@Zhqrxt Honestly, each rumble really pounds on you and there are a few moments my ears hurt. But, it's incredible. Yes, the pad has a massive "sound suppression" system that dumps water underneath the shuttle starting several seconds before liftoff. Without the sound suppression, the acoustics would reflect off the flame trench and destroy the orbiter.
@UFGatorGuy20 Yea..it is incredibly intense..I can never get enough of it.... NOW...Multiply that sound, rumble, earth shake, and body pounding by about 4, and you get what it was like to stand and watch a Saturn V launch..Thats was a funukin mind scrambling orgasm my friend ;-)
@UFGatorGuy20 it actually wouldnt destroy the orbiter. On STS-1 they did not use the sound supression system and it did not get destroyed, but the launch pad was slightly damaged.
@Zundapp1010 Wind is only audible at the beginning. The rest of the noise is from the shuttle. Trust me... you can't hear the wind when the shuttle is rumbling off the VAB.
@orionknights..i was never insulting astronauts, only pointing out their lives are risked, as are those of any military branch, in the name of policy and political goals and favorable polls. The fuel tanks should have been replaced with new ones. At no time should the lives of astronauts or any other military member be risked to save money and make the leaders look good. the last two space shuttle disasters both occured by overlooking technical problems, expert advice and pushing it for agenda.
i hope they make it back alive. Another politically, monetaruly motivated launch, risking the lives of those onboard, using old, defective fuel tanks, just like the Columbia disaster caused by reagan insisting on a launch in subfreezing weather, Puppets used to boost the popularity of the puppet masters in washington and NASA..Godspeeed, you guys,,,
@iloveairfrance There really it's a whole lot, actually. The 'pollution' from the main engines is water vapor, and the SRB's produce potassium chloride (fertilizer) and aluminum oxide (inert).
I love the videos of the spacecraft. I'm going to America every year, I always go to the Kennedy Space Center, pity they do not have a green card to stay longer. For me the USA is the best place in the world, has no equal. Like its people, its culture and customs. Cheers!
@UFGATORGUY20 When i was younger,i used to make fun out of a really smart guy in my class.Now as i've got older,i hang my head in shame.Because if it was not for people like him,i would not get to witness such a beautiful achievement as this in human history.Also don't listen to irish89055,the sound is good enough to get that sense of power from the shuttle.Very nice
That's the closest shuttle launch I have yet to see here on YouTube (and among my own experience). How'd you get that close GatorGuy?? (BTW alumni 2003 Go Gators) Simply amazing. Just short of that IMAX classic which is saying a lot for a candid shot like this. Leaves my speechless every time...

@irish89055 Post a link to a shuttle mission before this one with better sound. There may be some out there now from recent launches. But, until this one, all launches I found had some mediocre audio quality.
@beelzbub try this one, not the best video but it does capture the sound .."Real Sound of Space Shuttle STS-117 Launch, 3 miles " hmmmmm , imagine that, its sitting just over to the right on the list....
@irish89055 Did you listen with headphones? So many "professional" videos from news crews and such just don't capture the sound properly in my opinion. It crackles and pops in their videos. I think this captures the rumble, reverb off the VAB, and bass pretty well. Maybe better videos exist now... but I sure couldn't find any around the time I uploaded this video.
@irish89055 First, my voice is only present in the first few seconds. As far as controlling ambient noise, I'm not Jesus Christ. I can't force others not to share their joy during liftoff and I can't control the wind. Maybe with some high tech equipment and noise dampeners the wind would be less noticeable. And if we're talking ambient noise, let's not discount all the camera shutters and announcers in the video link you sent.
@UFGatorGuy20 Wrong! Your duty to the youtube community demands you control ALL background noise. That duty required killing all fellow spectators prior to launch as well as any animals in the area (e.g. birds) that might vocalize during launch. Your excuse that you don't control the weather doesn't wash either. At your own expense (obviously) you should have purchased or constructed equipment to completely eliminate background noise due to wind. You should be ashamed of yourself. ;)
@irish89055 Second, the link you sent crackles and pops. Have you EVER FELT or HEARD a real launch up close in person? Each "pop" you hear in the video you sent is actually a low deep pounding against your chest and ears. There is absolutely no low frequency capture in that video.
@UFGatorGuy20 do one of you guys have a good link to find a good sound of the launch? i thought there were only a few microphones that could survive being close to the launch
Endeavor launch STS-118 by 'BlueStar118' (the one that says CAUTION! LOUD!!), was uploaded Aug 30, 2007, a little later than your upload. I'm sure you've checked it out by now. Yours is not too bad, but 'BlueStar118' is an impressive experience if one has loud speakers or headphones, plus a stong bass in the sound system really adds to it.
Witnessing one of these launches in real life was one of my main goals in live. Unfortunately, due to the fact I'm living all across the ocean in Europe, I never was able to.
funding is being cut because space is now being corporatism
the US will be hiring private corporations under the new "dragon" program to build a private fleet of space craft to build bases on mars and moon
why privatizes space, basically all property and data acquired in space will be private not public domain so American will have no rights to obtain freedom of information, nor have a say about the weaponization of space
UFGatorGuy20 Nice video: Can u tell me more about your location from were you saw it. I plane 2 go see it in march. I am not from there. so i dont know the place very well . thks.
This is a great video/audio. Anyone that likes this vid may like "From the Earth to the Moon". It's a Ron Howard documovie with all surviving Apollo astronauts on hand for candid interviews. The audio is the best I have personally heard. Great footage.
anyone noticed the seagull sound in the rocketbooster sound :) .. soundreflection of the supersonic exoust :) very very awesome :) very good upload :)
The roll program actually involves 3 axes. Pitch for aero loading and keeping a tight q alpha. Yaw helps determine orbital inclination. Roll is for the reason I stated. The crawler and the cooling trenches are leftovers from Apollo. Can't be easily moved. Thanks for playing. Try again.
YEA why does the shuttle start to turn when it hits a certain altitidude i have a rough idea,..........it has to fight gravitational pull, and alignment for the coorect orbit! ...........................DOES ANYONE HAVE A COMMENT!
It has does it to enter into orbit, it needs to follow the curve of the earth otherwise it would fall back down again, if you want to throw a stone a long way from you, you would not throw it straight up would you?
There has only been one video on Youtube with "Best sound...." but that video was removed by the author himself. Included a Turkish(?) female reporter who was at the launch site. The guy who shot that launch really had my subwoofer work overtime. Just awsome.
If the shuttle had went straight up, it would have gone straight down again as soon as the engines had stopped. They have to make the flight curved, so that the shuttle can "fall" around the earth in an orbital path :P
you should watch "Space Shuttle Launch From Under Parachute Atlantis STS-117". He/She captured a launch while parachuting. It gives you a unique perspective.
Going again on Monday. It's a 3 hour drive that never gets old. If you've never seen it live your an idiot, cause its awesome. Not to mention the tailgating.
@llandudnoboy actually the astronauts felt SAFER after the Challenger incident because a lot of safety issues that were overlooked where taken care of. Expansion of o-ring joints were known by the techs before disaster, but concerns fell on deaf ears until the shuttle ripped apart. the 24 pre-Challenger missions flew with the same flawed booster design, so actually all of those missions were more dangerous than the ones flown after the Challenger disaster. :)
@llandudnoboy It is a lot like John Glen said when asked how he felt sitting atop Gemeni before takeoff: How would you feel strapped to the top of a rocket built by the company that said they could build it the cheapest?!!!!!!!!!!
Strapping ones self to any massive firework has its risks but the incredibly complex Saturn V rocket had a 100% reliability record with none blowing up on the pad or in flight.
The Space Shutle compared to the far larger and prabably more dangerous Saturn V has had quite a few technical problems plus one huge one as well.
Did it really feel THAT good when you came at 0:02?

You're so right!
Witnessing one of these launches in real life was one of my main goals in live. Unfortunately, due to the fact I'm living all across the ocean in Europe, I never was able to.

I have only been close enough to hear it once and that was around titusville. I live in Vero so we can see it really well but never hear it.

funding is being cut because space is now being corporatism
the US will be hiring private corporations under the new "dragon" program to build a private fleet of space craft to build bases on mars and moon
why privatizes space, basically all property and data acquired in space will be private not public domain so American will have no rights to obtain freedom of information, nor have a say about the weaponization of space
basically you the citizen will be marginalized

It's a shame that the Shuttle has only 5
flights left, Cuts to nasa's budget by
Mr. Obama will reduce Kennedy Space
Center to no more than a museum.

Amazing. Your title is truth in advertising.
Thanks for not talking, GatorGuy! Though I like your little sigh at 1:04.
Must be literally awesome to see, hear, and feel in your belly, in person. Love the shadow of exhaust plume at 1:22, 1:33.
Hope you can catch STS-131 in March!

This is a great video/audio. Anyone that likes this vid may like "From the Earth to the Moon". It's a Ron Howard documovie with all surviving Apollo astronauts on hand for candid interviews. The audio is the best I have personally heard. Great footage.

It twists because the crawler launch platform's roadway doesn't allow it to launch in the orientation it needs to be in. Simple as that.

The roll program actually involves 3 axes. Pitch for aero loading and keeping a tight q alpha. Yaw helps determine orbital inclination. Roll is for the reason I stated. The crawler and the cooling trenches are leftovers from Apollo. Can't be easily moved. Thanks for playing. Try again.

YEA why does the shuttle start to turn when it hits a certain altitidude i have a rough idea,..........it has to fight gravitational pull, and alignment for the coorect orbit! ...........................DOES ANYONE HAVE A COMMENT!

@raymondrayban
It has does it to enter into orbit, it needs to follow the curve of the earth otherwise it would fall back down again, if you want to throw a stone a long way from you, you would not throw it straight up would you?

There has only been one video on Youtube with "Best sound...." but that video was removed by the author himself. Included a Turkish(?) female reporter who was at the launch site. The guy who shot that launch really had my subwoofer work overtime. Just awsome.

Why does it curve like that when it gets all the way to the top? Looks like it goes off course in a way.
CazK88 2 years ago
I think its so they get the right distance from Earth.
fdh2006 2 years ago
If the shuttle had went straight up, it would have gone straight down again as soon as the engines had stopped. They have to make the flight curved, so that the shuttle can "fall" around the earth in an orbital path :P

you should watch "Space Shuttle Launch From Under Parachute Atlantis STS-117". He/She captured a launch while parachuting. It gives you a unique perspective.

After the Challenger disaster it takes brave souls to be strapped aboard one of these booster rockets.
I'm still jelous though.
llandudnoboy 2 years ago 12
@llandudnoboy actually the astronauts felt SAFER after the Challenger incident because a lot of safety issues that were overlooked where taken care of. Expansion of o-ring joints were known by the techs before disaster, but concerns fell on deaf ears until the shuttle ripped apart. the 24 pre-Challenger missions flew with the same flawed booster design, so actually all of those missions were more dangerous than the ones flown after the Challenger disaster. :)

@llandudnoboy It is a lot like John Glen said when asked how he felt sitting atop Gemeni before takeoff: How would you feel strapped to the top of a rocket built by the company that said they could build it the cheapest?!!!!!!!!!!

@llandudnoboy Oh yeah, cause strapping yourself on a saturn v, titan, or redstone was safer
pittsey 1 year ago
@pittsey
Strapping ones self to any massive firework has its risks but the incredibly complex Saturn V rocket had a 100% reliability record with none blowing up on the pad or in flight.
The Space Shutle compared to the far larger and prabably more dangerous Saturn V has had quite a few technical problems plus one huge one as well.
llandudnoboy 1 year ago
@pittsey
Atleast the Saturn V was safer with no loss of space craft or rocket throughout its many launches.
