2002 Nov 20: Delta IV First Launch -- EutelSat W5 (2011-08-18)

The first launch of this massive rocket (at night) was covered by two onboard RocketCam views. Check out the red-hot glowing engine nozzle as the second stage fires during its orbit insertion burns.

2004 Jun 21: SpaceShipOne's First Trip to Space (2011-08-18)

This B-Roll footage (courtesy of Vulcan Productions / Discovery Channel) shows onboard RocketCam views and chase-plane views of SpaceShipOne's rocket motor ignition, ascent from its White Knight carrier aircraft, cockpit footage of Mike Melvill and the M&Ms and external camera footage during the first private trip tpo space. This flight was a dry run for the two required flights SpaceShipOne conducted a few months later to win the $10-million X PRIZE.

2006 Jul 4: Shuttle Launch STS-121 (Discovery) -- SRB RocketCam (2011-08-18)

To help the Shuttle team assess and understand the chronic External Tank foam shedding phenomenon, on this launch two new RocketCam systems were added -- one to each Solid Rocket Booster, looking aft. Here's the view from the starboard SRB. The RocketCam video is recorded onboard the SRB and retrieved later after the SRBs land in the ocean, and is of pristine quality. Watch this unedited video until the SRB splashes into the water!

2010 May 6: Orion Crew Capsule PAT-1 Highlights [HQ] (2011-08-18)

Highlights from NASA's Orion crew capsule Pad Abort Test #1. This abort sequence would kick in if the rocket blew up on the launch pad, and the astronauts inside the capsule would get quite a ride! Near the end of this montage are several seconds on onboard views from RocketCam. The full video sequence is coming soon. (This video clip found at: www.nasa.gov
