globalpositioning ::: Favorites Yes, the gear is down that late because the shuttle is gliding and you do not want to waste any speed with the gear down. In a normal airplane, you have power to compensate and shuttle has no power to adjust. It is important to remind they glide from 10,000 feet in a very steep descend...always fascinating since they do not have a second chance or a go-around... 07-06-23 09:42:41 __________________________________________________
talallines ::: Favorites is it normal that the landing gear be put down that late?? 07-06-23 02:50:36 __________________________________________________
Rrxingrick ::: Favorites I watched the landing in person and man was it awsome! Don't get to to see it land at Edwards much anymore. Only thing different seemed to be the 2 sonic booms. From where we were at, they seemed to be very faint. Either way, it was amazing to see and I hope that NASA lands more space shuttles here at Edwards before they end the space shuttle program in 2010. 07-06-22 18:13:58 __________________________________________________
momo2007x ::: Favorites It's maybe some technical troubles on Nasa TV , I think. The sound overlay and repeating lasted more than you could hear on this vid, so I cut that part. Thanks. 07-06-22 16:41:50 __________________________________________________
