Space Forum / Shuttle / July 2005Backflip Video: Stupid Question
Saw the video of the backflip maneuver on: http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/crew/index.html How do you download the video file?

Some links which include the backflip manoeuvre were posted a few links ago. The post is: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/sci.space.shuttle/msg/7dc125db06b0fba2 The first link is the backflip manoeuvre. There is a download button near the bottom of the page. It is a tad over 30Mb I believe. hth.

Hi, Just "right click and save as" this URL: (Pulled from the HTML source) http://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/RTF/backflip.wmv Cheers, -E > "rk" wrote in message >> Saw the video of the backflip maneuver on: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > http://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/RTF/backflip.wmv How did you do that? </beg> > http://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/RTF/backflip.wmv Sorry, disregard that.

I guess never mind my post then... > Saw the video of the backflip maneuver on: > > http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/crew/index.html > > How do you download the video file? I use mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/) for such things, in this case something like: mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile pitch.asf 'http://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/RTF/backflip.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf' (the link is found inside the .wmv file linked from the site you mentioned; the wmv file is a text file in this case) I've never tested this under Windows though (I use Linux), but it should work. I've uploaded the file here: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~klischat/pitch.asf Olaf >> Saw the video of the backflip maneuver on: >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~klischat/pitch.asf Thanks, I downloaded it and it worked fine. It's a nice clip. Signaturerk, Just an OldEngineer "These are highly complicated pieces of equipment almost as complicated as living organisms.

Btw, the shuttle flew over Europe when this maneuver took place, and some guys in Germany filmed Discovery and the ISS from the ground as they passed in front of the Sun's disc: http://www.easysky.de/astro/videos/Discovery_ISS.wmv >>> Saw the video of the backflip maneuver on: >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > http://www.easysky.de/astro/videos/Discovery_ISS.wmv Got it, mucho cool.
