Remark Photographer
OV-105 (cn OV-105) "Endeavour" on STS-118 Mission to the ISS. The roll maneuver starts with the orbiter beginning a combined roll, pitch and yaw maneuver that positions the head down, with wings level & aligned with the launch pad. She flies upside down in ascent phase. This orientation, together with trajectory shaping, establishes a trim angle of attack favorable for aerodynamic load & pilot ground reference. 3 cardboard covers of the RSS nozzles are falling off now and about to be burned.[Canon 1Ds MkII;600mm IS L;2X]

"Roger roll, Endeavour!"

Amazing to see more than 8.5 tons of fuel burned per second, speeding up the shuttle to more than 20 times the speed of the sound.

A visitor from Australia posted Tue September 4, 2007:
Spectacular! Another great Shuttle shot, Suresh.
