STS107: ET-208 video?

[[email protected]]

NASA released the ascent film of camera E212 very early. But I never saw
that of camera ET208 wich had a look at the impact area and the underside
of the wing. In this video location of the desintegration of the foam
should be vissible. I only saw stills from before and after the event.
Are somewhere stills of the event or the video itself?

I think I've got you killfiled for some reason and I'm seeing this as a
response, but it's a reasonable question.

I think that's where I got my real-time clip from. Either that or the CAIB
site... Filename is STS-107.LaunchEngineeringReplay.ET208.avi, which is how
insideksc usually names things.

In real time the debris hit is FAST. It shows up as a pale streak from the
tank, down the chord of the wing and into the SRB plume in a fraction of a
second. No real change on the wing is visible... IMO there's a tiny spot on
the RCC that's a bit LIGHTER after the impact in the area of interest, but
to use a now-notorious turn of phrase, "it's not even worth mentioning."
