Space Shuttle sonic boom

[elephant35e]

how is there a boom if the shuttle is de-accelerating?

[Goutman5000]

@HeffernanProductions ik. im just sayin . lol

[ocsurfer23]

the sonic boom is at 0:41

[sexybryan314]

every aircraft tht breaks the sound barier has 2 sonic booms u just cant tell them apart

[sub7AV]

there clapping because there americans, you know yanks always go over the top with things like that.

[Graphicstodiefor]

@sub7AV Yeah....pretty average event and all.....coming back from space. Not impessive at all...!

[garrrbo]

How far away from the runway does the shuttle become subsonic?

[DG121480]

@garrrbo I don't know how much you know about flying, but the boom you hear is when the shuttle passes overhead on the downwind leg of its approach (parallel with the runway). Main gear touchdown is only about 3 minutes or so later. It touches down at about 250 mph, so it's movin' pretty damn good right up until final approach.

[nikolodeon55]

i didnt see it can anyone tell me in witch part of the vid its been shown?

[deminchao1010]

damn i like that noise turns me on some reasona ha

[The11bingo]

Great video and commentary. Thanks for posting it!

[23pownageinrs]

omg!! i went there! that building inside is amazing!

[nikolodeon55]

@23pownageinrs rly?

[23pownageinrs]

@nikolodeon55 yeah! they have a whole space shuttle inside its so cool!!

[Sweetheart12922]

I'm going to miss our wonderful space shuttle program. It's such a shame we can't keep it.

[mattm172]

The Space Shuttle is pretty cool I live by Edwards Air Force Base Ive herd plenty of booms from it coming back

[sadekgheidan]

@mattm172 Lucky dog. So you see raptors flying by every day?

[mattm172]

@sadekgheidan lol no not every day my dad works on the F22 and he comes home with tons of pictures, coins, hats, shirts ect. He will come home and says when they are going to fly or are suppose to fly depends on the pilot too there one real cool pilot and the rest are really picky, but the SR-71 is still the coolest thing I ever seen fly

[MattyMeatpie]

There's always 2 sonic booms on the shuttle because it's so long, one breaks up front and one in back. Reason being you only hear one on a jet is because it's small, only one in back.

[gotorosario]

ma va fan cul

[BusinessPlanGuru]

1st time I heard the sonic boom, was freshman year at college in orlando. My laptop fell off my desk, and I almost shit myself because I didnt know what the hell it was..

[ladiestreat27]

did you feel the sonic boom? was it hard or no or was it just the sound you heard?

[NeilThe83]

I don't see shit when you say there is it right there... and point the camera toward the sky.

[newyorkfigs]

happens at 42 seconds

[sam19ny1]

@newyorkfigs thanks

[propaghandi2]

NICE CLIP@

[ManganeseMan]

Nice work!!! I took footage of 131 landing but didnt zoom enough. thanks

[ManOfTheModOfG]

I heard one today at school it was challenger landing.

[Ru55ianGrim]

@ManOfTheModOfG yeah i herd it at my school also lol i thought someone was getting shot

[xTomei]

I lol'd @ the clapping. I just heard 2 booms that shook my house. scared the poop out of me. I google'd it and found this video. Guess it was the shuttle landing.

[homsey]

I've heard that noise from a Concorde years and years ago! It's awersome!!!!

[mrchoppaboy]

did anybody see the fly by that one night

[BaysideOWNSu]

A sonic boom went off for the STS-130 just now

[adamsprodutions]

I heard a sonic boom in florida also that day we went 2 kennedy space center

[okeagle25]

all right

[MyGta123]

dude this has to be awsome in person

[Chumpster1981]

We stayed at a Resort on Cocoa Beach and missed a launce by a day in November. Sucked.. Weather did too.. But shit we got to stay there for free lol. Wish we have gotten to see something..

[1983MIXer]

Сука долбоебы тупорылые, нахуй этот лолодроч выкладывать???? ебаный пендостан

[vmaninblackv]

Lol, it scared me when you jumped on the video. Good job catching that whole thing on video. Pretty nifty zooming in on it with a handheld camera right as it landed.

[YouKnobhead]

For the less patient viewers out there, go to 0:40 for the sonic boom.

[cory8791]

it must be a cool to see it for real!!!

[A7X973146]

haha scare u a little?

[Steele0616]

lol it scared the hell out of my sister.

[wargasmnz]

anything travelling through the sound barrier will create 2 sonic booms, one at the nose and one at the tail of the object, they just occur so close together you dont often hear them as 2 seperate noises

[fuji2failo]

i heard 2 sonic booms about 3 month ago in cali4nia, i was outside and it made walls shake a little bit, friends thought it was an earthquake i told them sounds like a sonic boom, then next day i read on the paper that the space shuttle had landed :D

[dragosny]

0:40 you can hear them

[BAswithMustaches]

PLZ LOOK AT MY CHANNEL!!

SO FUNNY!

PLZZ

[vikram301]

USA USA USA!!

[realteki]

good video .congratulation

[gyptax]

why is it two claps?

[anyhandleleft]

from nose to tail of space shuttle is just enough distance to create two sonic booms..

[KnoxSUX]

Man, thank you for making this video!

I used to live in Cocoa!

[gyptax]

cool thx

[tasmandevil0811]

@anyhandleleft : yep.

Technically it's always a twin sonic boom, the distance between nose and tail is what makes it really matters. Just search for concorde sonic boom, you'll hear double one there too.

[ziopaperino]

its 4 me!!!!tk

[SkatingIsMyWayOfLife]

@gyptax there is never a time where there isn't two sonic booms there is always two the size of the aircraft depends on how loud and far apart the booms will be if you have a smaller plane like a fighter it will be a quick boom boom larger like the space shuttle and the concord are louder and spaced further apart

[DMBFan84]

@gyptax one from the nose of the shuttle and the leading edges of the wings.

[PKtraceur93]

@gyptax all planes make two from the rear and nose of the aircraft but most planes like fighter jets are too small for us to hear both but the space shuttle is big enough to create both

[MrGizmo757]

@gyptax sonic booms are always two booms in sucsetion.

[madzyzome]

@gyptax There are always 2 sonic booms, sometimes they are too close to differentiate.

[britoca]

@gyptax each boom is 2 wave crests, compression and decompression

[jani963]

@gyptax Actually every sonic boom consists of two bangs. The pressure wave coming from the aircraft creates a "boom" when the pressure surrounding the person suddenly rises to that of the wave and then suddenly droping back to the surrounding pressure.

[swisscool1313]

I was here <3 I miss florida miami and good weather :(

[12UnderOath123]

Fuck you ass hole!

[Niklasmannen]

I dont fuck assholes!

[jbird0168]

On the gulf coast the sound is less defined. Tends to sound more like a double rumble than a bang. Would have heard one today if it had failed to land on time. The glide slope wouldve changed to right over my city If it needed a second window.

[phxboyrep602]

lol

hahahaha

[Goutman5000]

why do the people clap its not like the Astronauts can hear them cheer. hahaha, LOL anyways cool vid.

[Ge0rgiaBulldogs]

a way of celebrations lol

[wickedtothemisty]

@Goutman5000 Its also for the engineers, designers , ground control etc.

[f12raptor]

@Goutman5000 because they're proud :)

[malscott]

excellent!!

[blairjohnlevy]

the camera man should work in holly wood

[fisheddie]

lol at :43

[alpimpzar]

My name is John Bakerston, I would be 17 old now if that accident had not happened. I was using Google Earth Flight Simulator and I was maneuvering the plane to fall. After 1 month, went by air to the house of my aunt, Japan. The same maneuvers I did on Google Earth happened and the airplane fell down. If you're reading this far, then you should copy and paste this to 5 videos or in 1 month, when you're asleep, I will kill you, and you will have your last dream: Your on a falling plane.

[lilBoladolil]

at 42 sec..

[ballboy102]

nice recording of the sonic boom seem like it when twice the speed of sound

[Syo1]

there is always 2 booms, one from the nose of the plane and the second from the rear or wings

[AZIQBINKAMARUDZAMAN]

woahhh.....double sonic boom

[xergioslk]

were ? were ?

I cant see...

lol

[djones747]

imagine all the calculations that are made to ensure that the space shuttle comes in the atmosphere and glides into that exact spot on a 24,000 mile round ball! incredible!

[VetteAholicZ06]

Very nice recording.

[djcarves]

@ 42 seconds

[judah74]

Yes!!!

[mexicanplayer18]

0:42

[danc3rsk8r]

i live 5 miles from ksp=()

[Orbiterlecons]

luck luck luck !!!

[scrubbabubba]

wow i dont live far away either about 15 minutes 25 if my mom is driving lol

[KJT922010T]

ya I live in Port Saint Lucie Florida almost 400 miles from KSC and you can feel that sonic boom down here!

[YummyilikeCHEese]

i heard endeavor breaking the sound barrier today it was quite amazing(and scary wen ur not sure wat it is)

[myraclaire]

Yes, I heard it too here in Los Angeles. Didn't realize what it was until I saw the news. I live near the freeway and I initially thought it was the engine of a semi-truck exploding. I hoped no one was hurt. It has been a while since I heard that double boom --being that Edwards Air Force Base is not the shuttle's primary landing site. It was awesome (though my dogs probably wouldn't agree).

[heven729]

a lot of people freaked out at the century city malll..lol.. it's an outdoor mall so we heard it in all its glory.. =)

[thatswassup22]

Thank you for this vid...

[tiggyvigobos]

thanks for sharing your video amazing stuff!!!

[jalasword]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I have yet to see the shuttle land. Thanks for giving me an idea of where to watch for it. Looks like you jumped a bit when you heard the booms lol.

[fetsick]

That was cool... I live in Orlando, FL about 45 miles west of the shuttle landing site. The sonic booms are not always loud here so it is nice you have it on video. THANKS!

[RobDFrizzle]

when the endover (i spell bad!) came like 2 days ago, i heard the sonic boom and it shook my garage and i dont even live near ksc

[cee829]

that's an awesome video!

[jpdadrummer11]

shit u were right there

[MrsAppleyard]

The sonic boom is not the sound of the aircraft breaking the sound barrier. If an aircraft passing you is travelling above the speed of sound, you will hear the double bang of the sonic boom as it passes. You may hear the sound quite a time after the aircraft has passed depending on how far away it is as sound travels a lot slower than light. As per thunder/lightning sound delay.

[oMeGaSoLja]

Could have just said light is faster than sound, over wasting 4 lines LOL

[GUTTERbOY001]

Actually, any supersonic aircraft produces two shockwaves, and thus two booms. But they occur so close together that they're perceived as a single sound. The particular characteristics of the shuttle cause the noticeable separation between the booms.

[danw503]

GREAT video! Thanks for posting it! What an exciting feeling it must be to hear those sonic booms!

[IntermittentSprocket]

A bit windy out on that day, I can see the ripples in the water on the lake. The booms from how I understand it come from the nose and tail, as it punches though the air.

[da40flyer]

You are correct. The shuttle has a really unusual aerodynamic shape. As the shock wave passes the nose, there is the first boom, and the second is from the tail and the OMS pods.

[anyhandleleft]

Right man. Actually the Delta shape of the shuttle was choosen because of the aerodynamics for the launch and landings at Vandenberg AFB in CA, but the site was shut down after Challanger accident.
