"Successful liftoff of Space Shuttle. They will be fixing the wiring on

| What kind of computers are in use at Mission Control Center? | 13 Dec 2006 02:45 GMT | 7 |
Here in Sweden we have seen a lot of clips from Mission Control Center,
Mission Launch Center and from Flight Control. I wonder what kind of
computers are in use and what operating system they are using? I have
seen tracking with familiar Linux and windows IDE. Mission critical

| "nominal shutdown" | 12 Dec 2006 18:07 GMT | 3 |
What was this call? About a min. before MECO, they told the PLT to
expect a nominal shutdown.. never heard that call before -
What would something non-nominal be? Were they referring to abort modes
or something else?

| true shape of 'ring of fire'.. | 11 Dec 2006 14:28 GMT | 3 |
I think the pre-MECO ring of fire is the result of our perspective from
observing from on board the shuttle -- and the actual 3-D shape of the
glowing region is a hollow cone with the shuttle at its apex. The cone,
widening with distance from the shuttle, is the region of exhaust ...

| Shuttle/ISS docking question | 11 Dec 2006 11:02 GMT | 10 |
Something I have always wondered...
Why is it, that after a shuttle docks with the space station, it takes
