Sep 2006 count from T-1hr 25m (edited) - I think it gives a sense of occasion and build-up to sit through a longer countdown, so here's some highlights from the Sepember Atlantis shuttle launch.Includes: the built-in holds at T-20m and T-9m, a go/no-go poll, white room retracts, main engine gimbal check, close-out crew drives away, beanie retracts from ext'l tank, "close and lock your visors!", hand-off to shuttle computers... and launch through to SRB sep.Clips recorded from NASA TV (Windows Media Player), using FRAPS. Edited to mpeg with VideoWave.

Hey, nice! Take a video camera with you next time, then you can show your own launch pix here :)

Great video. You captured the "feel" of the day. I live so close, that at T-9 min hold I headed out to see the launch. I really wasn't sure it would "go". There were so many clouds in the sky that day. I only live a mile away from the best free vantage point but, I still drove. I really thought it was going to rain. If you ever have a chance to see it in person, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

The Cap you see on top of the External Tank is the Fueling cap. It fills the tank with Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen. Them temp of these fulls is super cold, L/H is -400 deg F and LOX is around -280 deg F.The the cap has to stay on to top off the tank till a few minutes for launch. The Fuel evaporates quickly.

If you mean the thing that's swung to one side at T-2 mins, yeah, it's the oxygen vent hood.NASA say, "Heated gaseous nitrogen is pumped into the hood to warm the liquid oxygen vent system at the top of the external tank. This prevents oxygen vapors that are exiting the vent louvers from condensing water vapor in the surrounding air into potentially damaging ice." Hmmm, I didn't know that.

I'm not an expert but I think that arm has something to do with the fueling of the main tank. You see it venting gas constantly so that's my guess :)
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
