Space Forum / Shuttle / August 2007Huffing and puffing upon landing.
I love that sound; it means a lot of things went right. C.  SignatureIt Came From Corry Lee Smith's Unclaimed Mysteries. http://www.unclaimedmysteries.net I loved the double boom on the audio. It was very loud against the ambient sound for once and you could clearly hear the sound rolling around as it bounced off the buildings.

Did you notice the silence before the double boom and the sound of the wind noise (low continuous roar) of the Shuttle after the booms. NASA must have bought a new microphone. I too was impressed by the crisp loud booms, plus all the good bass coming from my big speaker.....

The bounce off the VAB was great - we all about jumped out of our shoes and we knew it was coming. >I love that sound; it means a lot of things went right. > >C. I always thought the "huffing and puffing" was ground scatter and reflections of the radio waves that of course did not occur when the shuttle was airborne. Am I right? If so, then the sound means safety back on ground. The double shock sound (which is well understood) always sends chills through me. >>I love that sound; it means a lot of things went right. >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > when the shuttle was airborne. > Am I right? The sound is generated by the APU's. The infared videos show the APU exhaust from the tail and it co-incides with the noises. > If so, then the sound means safety back on ground. > > The double shock sound (which is well understood) always > sends chills through me. Signature--- there should be a "sig" here >>>I love that sound; it means a lot of things went right. >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > The sound is generated by the APU's. The infared videos show the APU > exhaust from the tail and it co-incides with the noises. What's more, the huffing and puffing stops when they stop the APUs... SignatureI was punching a text message into my | Reed Snellenberger phone yesterday and thought, "they need | rsnellenberger to make a phone that you can just talk | -at-comcast.net into." Major Thomb | I love it when a small circle of comradely cognescenti recognizes the same technological truths I do and get excited by the same obscure details as I do -- well done, fellow space nuts! >I love that sound; it means a lot of things went right. > > C. |
