Siting of STS-119 launch
Just saw the last few seconds of the STS-119 launch from the Albany, NY
area. It's really impressive. Looks like a small diffuse orange light. It was moving much faster than the Shuttle normally appears when it's in orbit at 200-miles high. It was less than 100-miles high when I saw it tonight. This was only ten minutes after the launch. Unfortunately I don't think we'll have any more night launches before the Shuttle program is over. |
