Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Two WB-57 jet planes, normally used by NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston for high-altitude weather research, will help track and safeguard Shuttle Discovery during STS-114: Space Shuttle Return to Flight. An engineering team lead by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., designed and built the WB-57 Ascent Video Experiment, or WAVE project, a swiveling, nose-mounted video recording system designed to capture visible-light and infrared imagery of the Shuttle as it lifts off on its journey to orbit. The primary optic lens, a 4,150-millimeter reflector telescope, can be seen on the right of the WAVE turret. Discovery is expected to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Fla., between May 15 and June 3.
