NASA + RED ONE

[Jarred Land]

Here is a photo of the Red One camera, hanging underneath a tracker about 1250 feet from the pad shooting last Monday's launch. Cool Stuff

Outstanding!

 

[mikeburton]

Cool! My folks are on vacation in Florida this whole week and called to tell me they saw the launch and I should have been there with my camera

 

[Steve Gibby]

Good stuff...nowdays you just never know where a RED camera is going to pop up - or in this case down :thumbup:

 

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Love to see one strapped to the outside of the shuttle

 

[HD Hildebrand]

I want some of that footage.

Was the camera toast after the shot?

 

[Kwan Khan]

Cool...

 

[Curran Giddens]

Nice!

I watched the launch live on tv and was wondering if anyone got any Red footage of it....

 

[Casey Green]

Very cool.

It's almost as if that RED ONE is thinking of a way to get on board... maybe next time.

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Great to see the R1 working at a safe Burning Distance

 

[Michael Hastings]

Very cool. I'm a total space buff. I think I shot the first Redone Space shuttle launch footage with #206 in early 2008. STS122 - I use this still from it for my desktop.

1250 feet is very close (Well within the blast radius if something goes wrong). Press site (where this was taken with a 300mm) is usually the closest you can get and is about three miles. If you figure the shuttle is about 200 feet high the exhaust cloud is longer than 1250 feet.

Great!

And it could be a live preview watch and shooting the latest Shuttle launch with R1.

 

[Matthew Duclos]

What kind of glass?

 

[jimhare]

They should have it IN the shuttle.

It would be SOOO much easier to do R1 handheld in Zero Gravity! :laugh:

 

[Jon B.]

Wonder if camera shot varispeed?

 

[Jerrod Cordell]

Hey Jarred, who did you get that picture from anyway? My dad knows a few people who do the video monitoring for the shuttle launches and I'm wondering if it was one of them.

 

[Petr Dvorak]

Wow finally RED at NASA. :thumbsup:
But we want sharp 4K footage footage from space! :biggrin:
Unfortunately they got only around five more launches till STS extinct :sad:

Does NASA use it for monitoring foam debris during launch in 4K resolution (120fps) or just for a beauty shot?
Which lens?

 

[Martin Weiss]

So... not even NASA is in the Tattoo program?

Seriously though: congratulations to another industry recognition. Now, where's that technical Oscar™?

 

[Pawel Achtel]

I look forward to the next reel

 

[Joseph Hutson]

That's very cool, Jarred. :thumbup1:
