SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on locating a specific video of the Space Shuttle Columbia's re-entry, which was reportedly aired on FOX News. The video features the shuttle's rear engines from a perspective that shows it entering at an unusual angle, with the left wing leading instead of the typical nose-first entry. The visual effects included ionization in the tail section, resembling a comet. A link to potential sources for the video is provided, specifically http://www.chrisvalentines.com/sts107.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of space shuttle re-entry dynamics
  • Familiarity with video sourcing and archival websites
  • Knowledge of ionization phenomena during atmospheric re-entry
  • Basic navigation of online video platforms
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the physics of space shuttle re-entry angles
  • Explore video archival techniques for historical NASA footage
  • Learn about ionization effects during atmospheric re-entry
  • Investigate the role of media outlets like FOX News in covering space missions
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for space enthusiasts, historians, video archivists, and anyone interested in the specifics of the Columbia shuttle mission and its media coverage.

I saw a video of Columbia’s re-entry I think on FOX news. It showed the shuttle going from the right side of the image to the left, the camera’s POV was looking at the rear engines. It seemed as if the shuttle was turned 90 degrees clock-wise from what a normal entry is suppose to be (nose first), and was heading in left wing first.

You could see the ionization in the tail section, looked like a comet.

Anyone know where I could find a copy of this video?
