I believe that some photographs of Atlantis were taken by Picosatellite during its deployment on Flight Day 13? Similarly, when can we also expect to see the "Death Cam" movie...
PicoSat, or Picosatellite Solar Cell Testbed 2 (PSSC-2) did carry a camera to record its separation from Atlantis. It will be up to the Air Force to process that data and then release whatever images were returned.As for the so-called external tank "Death Cam," that footage will be several months in coming, as explained here. |

A few more photos have trickled out of JSC showing some side-on views of the space station unique to STS-135. Photo 011857 is a nice shot that shows all the traffic at the ISS. |

On reviewing my recording of CNN's live coverage of the STS-135 launch, I noticed something odd about the picture. Why did CNN present most of the coverage in extreme wide-screen, resulting in black spaces above and below the picture? Today, I see similar presentation on CNN, but only for some coverage. Their picture jumps between normal ratio (about 1.8 to 1) to an extreme 2.3 to 1 for some presentations. (For instance, they just jumped from 1.8 to 1 for a weather forecast to 2.3 to 1 for a film report on Africa.) For whose benefit are the "super-widescreen" pictures? | |
