For an even better view of this same launch, watch the movie "Hubble in IMAX". Their cameras were right on the platform, and if you get the chance to see it in an OMNIMAX theater like I did, you'll appreciate the hearing damage that is so worth it.

Save the James Webb Space Telescope/ watch?v=aZGE86qBxCI&feature=related
Ask NASA if you can send a high quality HD camera to view the upper atmosphere, ALSO ask them if you can receive the signals directly from your experiment with your own antennas and equipment. Also, ask them what are these things: (they are way faster than the shuttle)

Why do they follow the shuttle, why are they self luminous, how can they make 90 degree turns, how can they accelerate to 100,000 mph almost instantaneously?
@toofoo89 Basicly the shuttle does'nt fly completely straight up on it's way to space, it flys horizontally aswell. Altitude basicly means height, down range means how far away from the launch pad it is horizontally.

The space shuttle. What a joke that thing was. Originally promised to deliver $1,000 per lb payload into space. 1970's design. Actual delivery was $10,000 per lb. Original design did not include solid-fuel boosters (dangerous, cannot be turned off) and did not include the giant external fuel tank. That thing looks like a high school science project. All that crap tacked onto it. The Space shuttle COULD HAVE & SHOULD HAVE been what is now the defunct X-33 SPACE PLANE. Where is that now?! Gone.
@mrjustin5 If it was'nt for that "joke" how would our satalites get repaired, how would the ISS of been built?. The Space Shuttle is the greatest, most sophisticated and most powerful vehicle ever created by our species, by far, there is no other machine on this planet that can compair to it, it is in a league of it's own. It is an absolutley amazing technological achievement, It is a wonder of the modern age. How can you say it is a joke.
Why did we ever step back in ability by inventing these lame things then? We could go clear to them moon in the late 60s, but ever since these "more modern" machines were built, we couldn't? Why didn't we keep one of the Apollos in operational shape (or put one back in shape) in order to go to the moon still? Or... why couldn't one of those go to the ISS? Or... why couldn't we have just built NEW ones of those to either go to the moon or the ISS? Why limit ourselves with shuttles?
Ha! "Painfully old"! Well, Apollo was painfully OLDER! So what? One of those could go to the moon and these never could, and I didn't know the limitations of these all these years until just recently? So age can't really be that much of one of the factors in stopping this program, apparently. If we want to go to the moon again, we can just go back to using Apollo-like space vehicles, huh?
And why can't shuttles go past LEO to the moon? Why can they land on the ISS but not the moon?
@m0kkaleiavbrukernavn That has to do with the camera iris. When you iris a camera down the sky will look darker. Due to the nature of shuttle and rocket launches the iris needs to be all over the board depending on if you want the fire to be lit correctly or if you want the vehicle lit correctly.
The shaking will depend on what surface the camera is mounted to.
The shuttle can travel in and out of ground station downlinks. They have something called TDRS to help wit that.
Interesting theory (the 'camera iris'). Now, how come the camera iris appears to capture a nice and balanced, correctly exposed picture of the blue sky, the vehicle and the bright rocket fire at 2:25 ?
I believe this is what m0kkaleiavbrukernavn was trying to understand. Thanks for a kind explanation.
@m0kkaleiavbrukernavn Also regarding the shaking - know that because the camera is fixed to the external tank itself - they are both shaking together, which minimizes the extent to which we can see the independent shaking of either - if that makes sense. This also applies to those views from cameras mounted in the cockpit/cabin in which we see the crew during ascent.
@m0kkaleiavbrukernavn As far as I am aware, the Hubble flights flying out on a 28.5 degree equatorial inclination passed out of range of the camera transmission, thus causing the camera to drop out before MECO. On most of the ISS flights on a 51.6 degree inclination, the camera remained within range, thus providing a good signal through ET separation. It might also have something to with the TDRS network as mentioned before, but I'm not so familiar with that configuration.
@StephanSteijger It takes two days. It gives the crew a chance to configure for orbit and recover from any space sickness that may occur upon initial orbital insertion.
@Benderrr111 Yes, no birds. beleive it or not, a friend of mine who works at nasa explained me that a small bird is not so problematic but any bird the size of a duck or crane can cause a disaster is it slam in the windshield of the shuttle. Thanks.
The space shuttle has to be the sexiest spacecraft ever. I am so sad to see it go. Step up America! Stop spending so much on your military and put more into Space Exploration! Space is our future, war isn't!
Im in orlando now waiting for them to give the green light on STS 134 so i can see endeavour's last launch, so excited and yet sad. only seen 1 live shuttle launch and honestly it is one of the top 5 most memorable experiences for me
@jayoung472 "The Unted States should lead the way in the space program - Agree?"
No. I think the people going into space should be smarter than to start being nationalistic. It'll only slow things down and create more conflict in our future.
Once it leaves the ground it doesn't have to. The supports on the ground support the weight of both the shuttle and external tank. You'll notice the shuttle has thrusters of it's own that are firing. Those thrusters support the weight of the shuttle rather than those apparently flimsy bars connecting the two :)
@manofaction2828 On the ground, the weight of the orbiter is supported by the ET struts. The ET and the orbiter are supported by the SRB's. The entire stack with fuel is supported by 8 bolts which hold the SRB's down.
this video is fake...because...how is it possible in one second to see the SS surrounded by big clouds (1:58), and like merlin the magician with his Holly wood make disapear all the clouds in the sky (1:59) ???
@robertk131 have you ever gone outside and looked at the sky.... on one side of the sky it can be dark and rainy and the other side can be clear and sunny.
notice how at 1:58 the fuel tank is on the right side.
then notice how at 1:59 the fuel tank is on the left.
that would mean that these two camera angles were coming from completely different sides. maybe there was a storm front moving in or something. i dunno. but i doubt that this video is 'fake'
@underlinedbluetext no no no at (1:58) the STS-125 atlantis last mission to hubble is SURROUNDED by big cumulonimbus type of clouds and...... in a split of a second......(1:59) NOt a single clouds SURROUNDING STS-125 atlantis last mission to hubble official NASA version tape....it doesn't matter whether you have two camera views of the same shot with a difference of 115 degre angle
How are the solid rocket booster's ignited? Is there an internal ignition or is there a firing chain like the shuttle's main engines use? I've just always wondered...
@tool0414 From what I understand, there is a pyrotechnic device at the top of each SRB that fires a flame down the entire length of the booster through this hollowed out portion, igniting the propellant. I think there are four of these commanded by two independent signals - simultaneous ignition of both SRBs being so critical, it's one of the most redundant systems on the shuttle. The devices themselves are set off by a NASA standard detonator, which is set off by a capacitor.
It saddens me that there are only 2 launches left. I am trying to plan on seeing the last one in June. Hopefully. It's amazing how fast the whole scene on the ground is over. It's out of sight so fast. Hope America keeps on going to space and continues to plan on building the lunar colony.

This compilation also contains planned revelations regarding knowledge of life beyond Earth along with it's current and ever ongoing presence which is being hidden from the public. This knowledge has been hidden from the public for over 50 years. + MORE.
@WilWong12 The SRBs have four very large frangible nuts and bolts each holding them to the pad. These are exploded at something like 1/1000th of a second before SRB ignition, releasing the shuttle. And the attachment points for the orbiter on the external tank is designed to take the impulse and the force of main engine ignition.
Because the bolts are holding the shuttle in place, the SRBs actually bend, and the top of the tank moves about six feet at main engine ignition. It's quite dynamic.
@gapsinteeth123 That vapor is gaseous oxygen venting from some vent lines on each of the engines. It's also the same vapor that vents from the very tip top of the orange tank (External Tank) up until about 2 minutes before launch.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I still feel like this is just a massive waste of money at this point. Why do we send people into orbit? It's amazing for them. But so costly for us! Why should we get rid of PBS in lieu of this? Let's go DEEPER! ... NOW!
@underlinedbluetext Every science book in the modern world has at least one Hubble image in it. There is a LOT of science going on with the shuttle and space station that we don't see because we don't bother looking for it, yet it's everywhere around us. Safety devices, medical technology, satellite communications and transmissions, and so much more. Google "nasa spin offs" to see for yourself.
@spacevidcast I respect your opinion. But haven't we reached a breaking point? Aren't we safe enough? Aren't our medical devices finely tuned enough? Do our satellites not work? I can see keeping the space telescopes maintained as a priority. I don't want ant farm data, petrie dishes of bacteria, or new kinds of plastic. I just don't think we be flying in to space every fifteen minutes. American Spirit be damned, we're freaking broke! If we're going to do it, lets start planning to go to Mars!
In a crisis, like the one we are in now, humanity turn introspective, we start bickering and focusing on each others faults, everything turns to politics, economics and a timid search for the illusion of safety.
Nothing wondrous comes of this, no inspiration, no sense of awe, nothing to unite us in striving for unreachable goals.
For us to be truly great, the unattainable must be our ambition, the unreachable our destination.
@trefod What unreachable destination!? we've been in orbit for 50 years! and to the moon a few times. NASA has no REAL plans to go to Mars. Maybe because they don't think its possible. All I'm saying is... it's time to cut NASA off. The American population has largely turned the channel when it comes to space exploration. Because its been done. Shut it down! shut it down and begin a new journey. MARS! What was hard has become easy. JFK would agree with me, next up... Mars.
@underlinedbluetext How is cutting off Nasa funds taking you to Mars? If you're concerned about America being broke, I'd look to Iraq and Afghanistan before looking to Nasa.
@trefod hell yeah. i've been fighting that battle too. i'm saying cut them off if they're never going to make a real attempt to go to mars. we know what we know about going into orbit.
@underlinedbluetext NASA would be more than willing to make an attempt to go to Mars. The topic has been studied for years, but congress has never funded such a mission. In fact, for a number of years, NASA was forbidden to spend money on planning a manned Mars mission. NASA engineers would love nothing more than to go beyond LEO, but politicians are their bosses, and the politicians haven't funded such missions or, on numerous occasions, have cancelled funding after spending a few billion.
@underlinedbluetext ...because NASA doesn't pay for someone to urinate on a statue of Jesus Christ and call it "Art", for one thing. Next question?...
@AintLifeGarand hmm... good for you for having opinions. but my point was that funding for PBS is not even a drop in the pond compared to NASA. So please, spare me. Just because you believe something does not make it so. And thats a two way street.
@underlinedbluetext Your selfish wants are much more important than Space Travel. Imagine how much porn you could downlowd with that extra 100 bucks you gave NASA last year.
@flanksteak2 my selfish wants? what are you even talking about? all i'm saying is that i want NASA to stop going into orbit until there is a real plan to go deeper into space. is this a political thing for you? is it because i brought up PBS? i'm just saying, if were planning on actually cutting down the size of government... NASA is due for a dose of reality. I don't feel like funding their vacations into orbit anymore.
Are you drunk or something? Care to engage in a real conversation?
@underlinedbluetext "i want NASA to stop going into orbit until there is a real plan to go deeper into space. is this a political thing for you?"
Politics is exactly what's kept NASA stuck in low Earth orbit. It's not that they've not wanted to go to Mars or back to the Moon. It's that Congress has, at every turn, underfunded any attempt to do so, and then cancelled it when it underperformed. There hasn't been any coherent plan for manned spaceflight since 1972.
@underlinedbluetext I love PBS and the space program. I don't think we should get rid of either.
At one point we sent people all the way to the moon. But maybe that was a massive waste of money. Who cares about that. Only about a dozen men went and it's not like it was some kind of historic moment in the history of our species. *sarcasm*
@AndrewWallace1 I never said it wasn't amazing. You guys are idiots for voting me down. It IS a waste of money. I tried being nice but it didn't get me anywhere. Fuck all of you.
If we truly want to cut spending... NASA is where we need to look
But don't tell that to a republican lol fucking IDIOTS
@underlinedbluetext and i suppose if you had the chance to go to space you would say no because its too costly for people??? you make me laugh you unintelligent dumbass. Please when you make comments like that it always helps to know what you're talking about unlike that statement you made. Just go and crawl back to the hole you came out of because here's the thing: NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOUR OPINIONS BECAUSE YOU'VE CONVINCED EVERYBODY THAT YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!! Please get off this page now moron!!
@eastsidelife4ever36 Yeah I'd probably go if I had the chance. But that will never happen. I'm just saying that in this era of American policy. maybe its not the best way allocate resources. I dunno. I didn't mean to piss so many people off. I guess its a touchy subject. All I wanted to say is that its time to go deeper into space. I love the idea of space travel. Just not... floating in orbit for eternity. Its a paid vacation for these astronauts. Its not 'exploring' if you've done it before.
@underlinedbluetext ok you would go if you had the chance. fine. and i wasnt pissed at you because of your opinion cause everyone is allowed to have an opinion. what pissed me off is that you kept on and on with your opinion without recognizing other opinions. yes lets go deeper into space and its not a paid vacation for the astronauts are you kidding? if anything people would pay to go into space.
@underlinedbluetext and saying its not exploring if you've done it before is not true. thats like saying if you've been in a forest and going into a forest again is not exploring. i could walk into the amazon and then a year later i could walk into a forrest near the swiss alps for example. your perspective would be that i wouldnt be exploring because i walked into a forrest before. just sayin.
@TehPiester456 Not really, because they dump all of that water, about 300,000 gallons onto the pad to help dampen the sound and help keep the pad cool. There's always some damage, but much less than if there were no water at all.
Interesting and great quality video. I have questions (Which I'll probably look up anyways). What is a transducer for? next, if the boosters are released at about 60 miles up and 200+ miles out when does the main rocket get released? It stayed on the whole time. How far out is it released and does the navy pick it up or let it sink into the Atlantic ocean? Last it says they're too far out to return to Florida. Where the hell would they land if something went wrong?
@coptersoisoi I just recently watched another STS launch and the commentator/speaker stated that an alternate landing (emergency) is some place in Spain. This is if they're too far to land in Florida.
@coptersoisoi A transducer is a sensor (in this case hydrogen pressure sounds like; there are LOTS of them). By carefully cross-checking other indications, it can be determined if there is supporting evidence of a systems problem requiring remedial action or simply an indication malfunction, which is what is indicated here.
The external tank (not the main rocket) is released after MECO (main engine cut-off) and is not recovered. The TAL (transatlantic abort) was named as Moron AB Spain
@coptersoisoi The three main engines are affixed to the back end of the space shuttle orbiter (the thing with wings). The orange tank (called an external tank) is literally nothing more than an oxidizer tank and fuel tank shaped into an aerodynamic shape, which carries the weight of the orbiter and boosters until SRB separation and MECO. What @rotorznwingz said otherwise is correct.
@spacevidcast Umm.. OK Main Rocket= Booster. I actually knew that. What is a Transducer for? Where do they land if they're 200 or 600 miles out and not high enough up past the thin blue line (as I've heard it be called). What the hell is MECO :p and umm If the Booster is still attached does it burn up in reentry or is it picked up a 1000 miles out in the Atlantic. I knew most of what you said except what MECO meant. but thanks for responding.
@coptersoisoi MECO stands for Main Engine Cut Off. It's when the three main engines are shut down about 8 1/2 minutes after launch. The empty external tank is jettisoned shortly afterward and reenters the atmosphere, breaking up and landing in the Indian Ocean.
@kirylllabl That's one of the best viewing areas to see and photograph a launch. They're also getting pictures of themselves. Don't make such ignorant comments in the future, please.
amazing we can do things like this yet we cant manage our finances so we can keep it going makes ya wonder...........

superb video but one question: how can the external tank support the weight of the shuttle?
eagled96 10 months ago
@eagled96
Once it leaves the ground it doesn't have to. The supports on the ground support the weight of both the shuttle and external tank. You'll notice the shuttle has thrusters of it's own that are firing. Those thrusters support the weight of the shuttle rather than those apparently flimsy bars connecting the two :)
manofaction2828 10 months ago
@manofaction2828 On the ground, the weight of the orbiter is supported by the ET struts. The ET and the orbiter are supported by the SRB's. The entire stack with fuel is supported by 8 bolts which hold the SRB's down.

@robertk131 have you ever gone outside and looked at the sky.... on one side of the sky it can be dark and rainy and the other side can be clear and sunny.
notice how at 1:58 the fuel tank is on the right side.
then notice how at 1:59 the fuel tank is on the left.
that would mean that these two camera angles were coming from completely different sides. maybe there was a storm front moving in or something. i dunno. but i doubt that this video is 'fake'

How are the solid rocket booster's ignited? Is there an internal ignition or is there a firing chain like the shuttle's main engines use? I've just always wondered...
tool0414 10 months ago
@tool0414 From what I understand, there is a pyrotechnic device at the top of each SRB that fires a flame down the entire length of the booster through this hollowed out portion, igniting the propellant. I think there are four of these commanded by two independent signals - simultaneous ignition of both SRBs being so critical, it's one of the most redundant systems on the shuttle. The devices themselves are set off by a NASA standard detonator, which is set off by a capacitor.

It saddens me that there are only 2 launches left. I am trying to plan on seeing the last one in June. Hopefully. It's amazing how fast the whole scene on the ground is over. It's out of sight so fast. Hope America keeps on going to space and continues to plan on building the lunar colony.

Is something holding the shuttle in place when the main engines are turned on at T-5 seconds to T-0 seconds?
If it's just the weight holding it in place, how does the shuttle not rip off its joints from the main tank?
WilWong12 10 months ago
@WilWong12 The SRBs have four very large frangible nuts and bolts each holding them to the pad. These are exploded at something like 1/1000th of a second before SRB ignition, releasing the shuttle. And the attachment points for the orbiter on the external tank is designed to take the impulse and the force of main engine ignition.
Because the bolts are holding the shuttle in place, the SRBs actually bend, and the top of the tank moves about six feet at main engine ignition. It's quite dynamic.

@gapsinteeth123 That vapor is gaseous oxygen venting from some vent lines on each of the engines. It's also the same vapor that vents from the very tip top of the orange tank (External Tank) up until about 2 minutes before launch.

Safety devices, medical technology, satellite communications and transmissions, and so much more. Google "nasa spin offs" to see for yourself.

@spacevidcast I respect your opinion. But haven't we reached a breaking point? Aren't we safe enough? Aren't our medical devices finely tuned enough? Do our satellites not work? I can see keeping the space telescopes maintained as a priority. I don't want ant farm data, petrie dishes of bacteria, or new kinds of plastic. I just don't think we be flying in to space every fifteen minutes. American Spirit be damned, we're freaking broke! If we're going to do it, lets start planning to go to Mars!

@underlinedbluetext Because space is what dreams are made of.
In a crisis, like the one we are in now, humanity turn introspective, we start bickering and focusing on each others faults, everything turns to politics, economics and a timid search for the illusion of safety.
Nothing wondrous comes of this, no inspiration, no sense of awe, nothing to unite us in striving for unreachable goals.
For us to be truly great, the unattainable must be our ambition, the unreachable our destination.

@trefod What unreachable destination!? we've been in orbit for 50 years! and to the moon a few times. NASA has no REAL plans to go to Mars. Maybe because they don't think its possible. All I'm saying is... it's time to cut NASA off. The American population has largely turned the channel when it comes to space exploration. Because its been done. Shut it down! shut it down and begin a new journey. MARS! What was hard has become easy. JFK would agree with me, next up... Mars.

@underlinedbluetext NASA would be more than willing to make an attempt to go to Mars. The topic has been studied for years, but congress has never funded such a mission. In fact, for a number of years, NASA was forbidden to spend money on planning a manned Mars mission. NASA engineers would love nothing more than to go beyond LEO, but politicians are their bosses, and the politicians haven't funded such missions or, on numerous occasions, have cancelled funding after spending a few billion.

@underlinedbluetext "i want NASA to stop going into orbit until there is a real plan to go deeper into space. is this a political thing for you?"
Politics is exactly what's kept NASA stuck in low Earth orbit. It's not that they've not wanted to go to Mars or back to the Moon. It's that Congress has, at every turn, underfunded any attempt to do so, and then cancelled it when it underperformed. There hasn't been any coherent plan for manned spaceflight since 1972.

Interesting and great quality video. I have questions (Which I'll probably look up anyways). What is a transducer for? next, if the boosters are released at about 60 miles up and 200+ miles out when does the main rocket get released? It stayed on the whole time. How far out is it released and does the navy pick it up or let it sink into the Atlantic ocean? Last it says they're too far out to return to Florida. Where the hell would they land if something went wrong?
coptersoisoi 11 months ago
@coptersoisoi I just recently watched another STS launch and the commentator/speaker stated that an alternate landing (emergency) is some place in Spain. This is if they're too far to land in Florida.
peacelord06 11 months ago
@coptersoisoi A transducer is a sensor (in this case hydrogen pressure sounds like; there are LOTS of them). By carefully cross-checking other indications, it can be determined if there is supporting evidence of a systems problem requiring remedial action or simply an indication malfunction, which is what is indicated here.
The external tank (not the main rocket) is released after MECO (main engine cut-off) and is not recovered. The TAL (transatlantic abort) was named as Moron AB Spain
rotorznwingz 11 months ago
@coptersoisoi The three main engines are affixed to the back end of the space shuttle orbiter (the thing with wings). The orange tank (called an external tank) is literally nothing more than an oxidizer tank and fuel tank shaped into an aerodynamic shape, which carries the weight of the orbiter and boosters until SRB separation and MECO. What @rotorznwingz said otherwise is correct.
spacevidcast 11 months ago
@spacevidcast Umm.. OK Main Rocket= Booster. I actually knew that. What is a Transducer for? Where do they land if they're 200 or 600 miles out and not high enough up past the thin blue line (as I've heard it be called). What the hell is MECO :p and umm If the Booster is still attached does it burn up in reentry or is it picked up a 1000 miles out in the Atlantic. I knew most of what you said except what MECO meant. but thanks for responding.
coptersoisoi 11 months ago
@coptersoisoi MECO stands for Main Engine Cut Off. It's when the three main engines are shut down about 8 1/2 minutes after launch. The empty external tank is jettisoned shortly afterward and reenters the atmosphere, breaking up and landing in the Indian Ocean.
rotorznwingz 11 months ago
@rotorznwingz It falls into the Indian ocean for low-inclination orbits (like Hubble). If it's going to the ISS, it falls in the Pacific.
