Ascent - Commemorating Shuttle

I put the site link in the video description which now has the ISO file of the special edition DVD. still working on getting the Bluray ISO.

1. Acquire the best of the best, state of the art imagery [...] that the space shuttle program is capable of producing. 2. Publish it in 480p facepalm.jpg

cause 3 years ago I could only get the DVD version to upload. I am working on getting the Bluray version to share the ISO file like I did for the Special Edition DVD.

Thanks a lot!

That would be such good news!

Alert me when you do. I have one troubling question. The shuttle landed as a glider, so what would happen if it missed the landing shot?

we closely monitor the shuttles energy and guidance and have some downmodes if it doesn't look like the shuttle will make the runway, but worst case she turns toward the ocean, the crew bails out and we ditch her.

The DVD up-convert looked fine. It was used at a NASA outreach.

This is incredible. I wish the BBC/Discovery/etc would show 'documentaries' such as this, with intelligent comments and amazing camera shots rather than the overly fancy footage and dramatic voiceovers they do for everything. I would love this on Bluray, if it comes along!

Awesome doesn't describe this! I'm deeply saddened that it's all over. Is there a 2nd part? Perhaps "Descent"? In the upper left corner there was a 1/2...

I would watch this footage for 45 hours. Just spectacular. If they had these shots when we lost CHALLENGER, it would have allowed engineers to find the cause of the accident sooner.

muito , muito interessante é uma maravilha de se ver !

43 people have no spirit of inquiry or wonder.  Do they marvel at anything?

Amazing photography

Why did the boosters have to be bolted down?  Did the weight of the vehicle not keep it in place by itself?

Michael Interbartolo you have provided great info for all of your stakeholders! ☺

Can this video be purchased anywhere?

WOW..  that is just crazy....  love this!

I miss the Space Shuttle.

excellent work, thank you very much for this video and especially for your work that made the shuttle a possibility

Incredible! Wish we could see this kind of footage from contemporary launches.

Thank-you for the ISO file. Burned it without a problem.

amazing footage of an extraordinary technical achievement

Is the paid version from Amazon any different from the download you have provided us with?

Also, in case I want a legal copy, where do I buy it?

I know its free and all but I like to pay for things I love! :P

Thanks in advance!

There's a version of this with music? I thought I've seen one but can't seem to find it.

One of the most beautiful things I've seen recently. The beauty of engineering and aspiration. Technology and art.

Truly stunning photography.

Great, just great. I really appreciate your work on that excellent lecture. One thumbs up is hardly enough.
BTW, Scott Manley brought me here to see this.

So, can we assume the prospect of the BluRay/Special Edition mass release is now as dead as the Shuttle program itself?

Almost a million views, less than 500 comments. Interesting

Это все уже в прошлом, теперь есть Иллон Маск....

My daughters father-in-law was involved with the flying the shuttles piggyback to wherever they needed to be. If the shuttle had to land anyplace other than the cape he was there on the plane. He has some truly amazing stories about the shuttles.He was based out of Palmdale

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video :)

Does anyone have a link to the DVD ISO? (or a newer HD version) The Google download is long dead...

The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

It is all great, but nobody in the world understands pound, inches and other crap. It is science video or what?

How long does the water continue after the shuttle clears the tower?

Dislikers don't just get it 🎨

Hello Michael! I have loved watching this production for many, many years. I grew up in Titusville, with much of my family involved in the STS program in one way or another...most closely my Dad who was a payload project manager, and later Flow Manager for OV-105. I downloaded the ISO containing the complete DVD years ago from google sites, but have since lost it due to a computer failure. An attempt to reacquire it today shows the link is no longer valid. Would you be so kind as to take a look at this and at advise where I can pull a copy of it so I can share it with my kids?

Great videos Matt

Transcendental.

Hi everyone- Does anyone know if this great footage is available somewhere in a better resolution? At best the original movie Ascent by Matt Melis?

Michael, looks like a copy from the NASA channel I viewed years ago..
... 404. That’s an error.

This video from the Glenn Research Center highlights in stunning, behind-the-scenes imagery the launches of three space shuttle missions: STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124. NASA engineers provide commentary as footage from the ground and from the orbiters themselves document in detail the first phase of a mission.
