Space Shuttle Atlantis SRB Camera Video
Amazing video captured by the cameras on the side of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) as they’re blown clear of the space shuttle Atlantis during the launch of STS-115.
Duration : 0:5:35

actually there is a …
actually there is a drogue chute to stabilize the booster before the main chutes open…what you see is the cone with the smaller drogue chutes splashing down…

Ah ok…
So the …
Ah ok…
So the rest of the SRB’s body did had it’s own parachute, didn’t knew that.
…or does it ?

that is the parchute cone from the same SRB…the other SRB probably landed some distance away.

Nice video indeed ! …
Nice video indeed !
…But one thing I don’t get;
I thought that SRB’s usually are being reused.
Yet if you watch carefully from 5:26 at the top left corner, you’ll only see the top shuttle from the other SRB.
So what happened to the rest of the SRB’s body ?
Did it burned up ? or had it it’s own parachute ?

I love the audio… gives a good impression of the increasing air density as they fall back to earth…

I know how the …
I know how the shuttle works. I was just correcting gomektampa. BTW while in orbit, the shuttle manuevers using the OMS. They are the two smaller engines on the back of the orbiter. They use a completely different fuel than the main engines.

The SRBs fall into …
The SRBs fall into the Atlantic and the liquid fuel tank burns up over the Indian ocean. Anything that does not burn up in the atmosphere (I mean the fuel tank), will fall into the Indian ocean and these are not recovered for reuse. The shuttle engines work with liquid oxygen and hydrogen and the feed is supplied by the tank until it enters orbit. For reentry slow down and manevours, the shuttle has a reservoir of its own, which is much less in quantitiy than that of the fuel tank of course.

Notice the launch …
Notice the launch contrails from 2:31 to 2:35… wow! Love this vid.

Actually no, the …
Actually no, the fuel tank is required until much higher up almost past the atmosphere itself. So each fuel tank used is burned up upon reentry. So every one you see on a launch is a new one…expensive I know which is why this design is getting the ax for 2010 in favor of things more efficient.

You’re probably …
You’re probably right. I’m thinking of the external fuel tank (the big boy!) But there’s comflicting idea’s whether the reuse the tank or not? I would imagine it’s recovered, pretty big endevour to make a new one each time

The SRB is decending into the Indian Ocean and the soot is chared pieces of carbon from the reentry

Its a shame they didn’t show the whole video. It just shows you how thick the atmosphere is. They start causing cloud trails when it looks like there still well into space.

This video is incredible; The perfect symmetry of the boosters, the descent through the atmosphere, the final splashdown. Tumbling to earth never looked so breathtaking.

This is the best NASA video ever. A human, in a space suit, strapped to the side, could ride that thing all the way up and all the way down.
