The Greatest Test Flight - STS-1 (Full Mission 16)

STS-1 - Columbia - April 12-14 1981 - Onboard are astronauts John Young (CDR) and Bob Crippen (PLT).

This is the sixteenth and final video of the STS-1 series.

Part 16 - This video covers the payload bay door closing, de-orbit burn and landing sequences.Please note: The de-orbit burn is shortened and does not represent the real time event but is shown for illustration purposes only. The main video sequence is from the UK TV coverage. Other coverage is added to the side of the main screen to give a different view perspective. I have added in the chase pilot audio to the landing sequence.

Captions are used to inform the viewer what he/she is watching. Photos have been added where appropriate. Orbiter Space Simulator has been used to dipict flight events.

The video is captured on a 16:9 screen to allow captioning and photos/video to be shown by the side of the main screen.

Audio is in two channels. One covers the PAO and air-to-ground and the other is just the air-to-ground.

The audio, downloaded from the NASA audio collection, had already been edited and it has taken some time to put it back into real time for the TV transmissions. However, I don't claim to have gotten it perfect.
