What's new? :shock:

That's one thing I don't miss from South Tipp - cloud. Thankfully not much of a problem here

There we go, that was quick. Will be looking out for ISS passes this weekend

Yeah me too. It's always nice when you see the ISS & Shuttle following each other across the sky before they dock

Great launch, seemed pretty text book.

Quick question, just before Main engine shutdown and Tank separation, there was an orange glow around parts of the orbiter and tank, what was that? Gas, plasma or the suns rays being refracted? as once the tank was away I noticed the sun directly behind the craft.

cheers
