NASA Film Footage Update & Artemis Launch

  • This is a quick update to the last video "Why is Older NASA Launch Film Footage Still the Best?" • Why is Older NASA Laun...
    Update Intro 0:00 - Footage compilation start 2:13
    In that, I bemoaned the fact that even though we have supposedly better cameras than the Apollo and Shuttle days, the amazing close-up footage of today’s launches are not seen because digital cameras can't handle the over-exposure situations of the very bright engines and SRB's compared to film.
    Well, I just found out that NASA does still use high-speed film to record engineering footage and that this has just become available for the Artemis 1 launch of Nov 2022. So below are the links to the NASA footage on their images website and also the twitter user Go4Gordan who used a freedom of information request to get it released.
    Watch the full video for a just over 7 minute best of compilation of some of the eight plus hours of slow-mo footage available set to Mars By Holst.

    • @Taima

      Yeah that was amazing. It was such a mindfuck having wondered the same as the previous video about the lack of good footage and associating the Apollo era with a certain "look." Then to find out mere seconds after finishing the previous video that this one existed (after noticing a comment about footage being made public), just wow. So cool, so surreal, so confusing, so amazing.
      Also the way he even put in that extra effort to not only give us some great shots and good music but to actually time them beautifully was just above and beyond and really added to the experience (though it got a bit loud at times).

  • @derekdotspace
    @derekdotspace Год назад +313

    A bit of a correction. Go4Gordon only got a single part of the footage released, the LOX TSMU Camera. There was a Public Affairs Officer working on clearing all of the film+MARS Tracking footage in the time since launch. Gordon definitely helped out with some of the process, as getting a clear shot of an umbilical plate cleared through FOIA helped clear some other shots that had stuck, but the PAOs for the Artemis program absolutely deserve a shoutout for their hard work!
    (Quick note, not trying to discredit Gordon here as they are an outstanding member of the Spaceflight community, just wanting to share that there are others who are helping get this footage to the public!)

    Thank you for making the correction. I was fortunate enough to support Artemis I and got to know the teams that are responsible for capturing and doing analysis on the film. I ended up being the 12th person (give or take) to view the high speed film post-launch!
    A couple of facts: most of the film is ASA/ISO 400, post-launch it's sent to a well known film manufacturer for processing and some scanning, it's again processed by engineering teams at KSC and MSFC before being shared with NASA internally.
    Honestly a massive effort went into getting these released to the public, absolutely incredible images were captured. Hats off to those who made it happen!

    You've done a sublime job of selecting, editing, arranging, and setting to music this mind-blowing, gorgeous footage. The footage of the exhaust plumes is my favourite, hands down, followed by the "ballet" of everything disconnecting and retracting and swinging away, and the stage separation. As amazing as the separation is to watch, I'm fascinated with the choreography of all the things that have to move!

    This is fantastic, on the one hand it's fixed a major gap in the original video but on the other hand, that wasn't on the public record at the time, so no foul. And the contrast between this footage and the digital even more strongly makes your original point.

      The vexing thing is that incident is exactly where the best footage possible is needed to find out what chunks went into what nozzles or what other part of the engine compartment. If one is running a go fast and break things program then one should be shooting it with the absolutely best cameras available. And maybe SpaceX and they’re just not releasing it since they failed so spectacularly with Starship.

    • @jrc1606
      @jrc1606 Год назад

      These are indeed the largest and most powerful SRBs currently. These ones here are very similar to the ones that flew on the Shuttle but with several modifications made. There is an additional segment which means more propellant and thrust, the nozzle was redesigned, the internal avionics are far more modernized, the internal insulation was changed etc. Despite this, NASA and Northrop Grumman are currently working on an even more powerful version for SLS called the BOLE booster that will be made with composite material. It will use a different propellant, a new redesigned aft skirt that will have mass improvements with improved avionics and a redesigned thrust vector controllers among other things. There have been 2 successful subscale test fires and Northrop is expecting a full-scale test fire currently scheduled for Spring next year.
