The above Pix was of the over flight of Shuttle mission STS-90. It was
reentering the earth atmosphere just north of my location at a approximately
238 thousand feet and the orbiter had a velocity of 22,000 ft/sec. Thanks
to Ken Webb Senior Test Project Engineer at NASA for this info. A Wav file
was also recorded of the above Pix and is available for download.
