Online Video Chronicles History—Last Discovery Shuttle Launch

Posted on Mar 03, 2011

Last week marked a historic, albeit somewhat bittersweet moment, as the shuttle Discovery successfully blasted into the sky toward the International Space Station. This mission will be Discovery's last--the first of three remaining shuttle launches before the United States ends its space-shuttle program of 30 years.

Discovery’s legacy of 39 flights is revered among NASA and space enthusiasts alike. The maneuver first attempted by Discovery has become part of the shuttle's legend. The historic last mission of a revered symbol of patriotic pride was chronicled in crisp, high-def online video on YouTube for the nation to see.

On Saturday, station attendants, wielding high-resolution cameras, shot a new round of images as the shuttle commander executed an eight-minute backflip around 1 p.m.

Discovery crewmembers have already scanned the edges of the wing and nose cap, the areas subjected to the most intense heat during atmospheric re-entry. After analysts finish reviewing images captured during inspections, the shuttle will be given a clean bill of health.

Thousands have shared in this historic moment through the power of online video.
