SRB video?

Is there a video which tracks the SRB's from separation, through chute
deployment and splash down? I've never seen anything like this on NASA
television.

Thanks

Here's a montage of video from STS-120's SRBs:

This is from STS-115 and has audio. It is from SRB-sep to splash-down.
At around 2:33, you can see the launch trail "curly-q". Also, in
the last few seconds, you catch the second SRB hitting the water.

I remember seeing that on NASA TV. It's amazing video (and audio),
but be sure to take some Dramamine before watching it! :-)

I noticed that the comentary never specifically announced the sep anyway
this time. They forgot all us audio only folk obviously s I gather the vis
was good.
You do of course still get the on board views and the srb mounted vids
though.

Very neat. What is the hardware which drops (blasts?) off the bottom of
the booster and hits the water with no chute just before the booster
splashes down?

Thanks

The nozzle extension, before...

....extending below the aft skirt, and after...

....the orange nozzle material in the nozzle just aft of the charred material near the throat. Smaller nozzle equal lower impact loads on gimbal hardware at splashdown

It releases the nozzle extension from the end of the booster. The
rational is, impacting the water with the large nozzle extension would
place excessive stress on the rest of the booster.

Isn't that the nosecap hitting the water (not the second SRB)?

That was the impression I got. It had only one chute.

So that part is expendable unless it somehow floats.
