@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.

i love Shuttle Starts! great!

@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.

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.

Why does the camera on the shuttle show a clear blue sky, yet the camera on the ground show a dark sky like on 3:42?
where is the camera mounted on the shuttle and why can we see the shuttle shake, yet the camera doesnt?
what happens at 10:10 so the camera gets knocked out?
Thanks for the upload!

@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.
