There was an interesting period captured by the Solid Rocket Booster cameras during the space shuttle ascent when the sky turned black, and the blue horizon compressed down to a narrow "limb" or halo around the earth. The effect occurred as the space shuttle travelled through an arc to more a horizontal trajectory. The GIF below shows an accelerated view; you can watch it at regular speed here:

On August 10, 2021, a Northrup Grumman Antares rocket was launched on resupply mission 16 to the International Space Station carrying, "over 8,200 pounds (3,720 kg) of research, technology demonstrations, and crew supplies for the astronauts living and working on the station." This short video shows the liftoff and initial ascent, featuring saturated colors and motion-stabilized tracking shots.

It is the anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch! I just released the last alternate edit of the Apollo Saturn V launch videos. It features multiple synchronized perspectives from NASA engineering cameras, documentary film, and the live television broadcast of the Apollo 8, 11, and 12 launches. This is similar to the working cuts I use to select clips when constructing a new video. I like to loop the video, allowing my eyes to scan across different images. The video is presented at 60 frames per second. The soundtrack includes Apollo 11 on-board, flight control, and air-to-ground communications. Engine audio is from two archived recordings of Saturn V rocket launches.

It is the 14th anniversary of the final launch of the space shuttle program! On July 8, 2011, at 11:29 am EDT, Atlantis left the pad for the last time and rose into an overcast sky on mission STS-135. My new short features video and audio of the crew cabin during engine ignition and liftoff through the roll maneuver. It is accompanied by video clips from the television broadcast and NASA engineering cameras.

On March 1, 2022, United Launch Alliance launched an Atlas V rocket carrying a weather satellite into orbit (NOAA GOES-18). This video shows the Solid Rocket Booster jettison and the payload fairing jettison. A motion-stabilized long-range tracking shot is shown with a synchronized view from a camera mounted on the rocket.

It is the 15th anniversary of the STS-132 launch! Atlantis took to the skies at 8:48am EDT on May 14, 2010, for what was expected to be its final mission. To mark the occasion, I released a short video of the liftoff with two simultaneous camera angles showing engine ignition through the roll maneuver.

Advertisers hate this, but there is nothing they can do about it. Many of my recent videos were uploaded to the Internet Archive. A few were updated to fix minor issues, mostly with audio. You can also find GIFs, source links, an audio mp3 of the Columbia report reading, a multi-camera view of the Apollo liftoff video that won't be released until July, and an extended version of the Apollo clip compilation video.

In response to the all the international support, I created a second YouTube channel called @GlobalRocket dedicated to science, technology, and educational videos from around the world. The first video is an enhanced version of a rocket launch last year by the Indian Space Research Organization. It features improved color grading and a continuous 1m40s motion-stabilized long-range tracking shot of the ascent.

It occurs to me that March 21st should be known as "Launch Day," as in, 321-Launch! My first video, simply called "Launch," was completed in 2011 (and updated in 2012) to honor the end of the space shuttle program. It was a collection of clips from multiple missions that told the story of the space shuttle launch from roll-out to orbit. I just released a short excerpt that shows the launch day sequence through liftoff and execution of the roll maneuver. Most of the excerpted video was recorded by television cameras on the STS-129 mission with a few shots from NASA engineering cameras on STS-124. It is accompanied by footage from STS-129 in the lower panel.

The music soundtrack was integral to the development of the original video. The main theme, composed by Bobby Cole (@maestrobobbycolejazz6642
), was selected early in the process. Video clips were edited to the rhythm and flow of the music. You can listen to the whole track here:

Thank you very much for watching! I hope you enjoy the videos and continue to visit the channel. Happy Launch Day! 🚀
