A Different View
I made the trek back to Florida for the final rollout of the space shuttle program and the landing of Endeavour. Atlantis started her journey out to the pad on evening of May 31 and finished in the early hours of June 1 just as Endeavour was landing a few miles away at the SLF.
Watch for a blog post of some polaroids from this trip and from the launch of STS-134. Keep an eye on spaceshuttlepolaroids.com in the coming weeks for some exciting things.
The second time seems to be the charm for me and shuttle launches. After about two weeks of delays, Endeavour (OV-105), rocketed towards the heavens on the penultimate flight of the space shuttle program.
The low cloud deck meant the shuttle was out of view really quick after it left the pad, the positive side to this was a really cool shadow cast by the orbiters exhaust plume.
A few of my favourite frames from RSS rollback this time around. It was nice for a change to have rollback in the afternoon instead of during the dark of night.
