@m0kkaleiavbrukernavn it is configured that way so that they can see more definition on the ground footage and not more sky blotting out systems that are being recorded

@m0kkaleiavbrukernavn As far as I am aware, the Hubble flights flying out on a 28.5 degree equatorial inclination passed out of range of the camera transmission, thus causing the camera to drop out before MECO. On most of the ISS flights on a 51.6 degree inclination, the camera remained within range, thus providing a good signal through ET separation. It might also have something to with the TDRS network as mentioned before, but I'm not so familiar with that configuration.

@m0kkaleiavbrukernavn Also regarding the shaking - know that because the camera is fixed to the external tank itself - they are both shaking together, which minimizes the extent to which we can see the independent shaking of either - if that makes sense. This also applies to those views from cameras mounted in the cockpit/cabin in which we see the crew during ascent.

For an even better view of this same launch, watch the movie "Hubble in IMAX". Their cameras were right on the platform, and if you get the chance to see it in an OMNIMAX theater like I did, you'll appreciate the hearing damage that is so worth it.
