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.

Spectacular! Another great Shuttle shot, Suresh.
