This may be slightly OT, but I noticed a picture of SpaceShipOne reentering in the "shuttle-cock" configuration on p. 35 of the October 11 2004 AvWeek. A copy of it is currently at http://www.aviationnow.com/avnow/news/channel_awst_story.jsp?id=news/10114top.xml or http://www.aviationnow.com/media/images/news/101104top.jpg The image is credited to Ron Dantowitz and Marek Kozubal, who used to post here and who pioneered high-resolution imaging of orbiting objects such as the Shuttle and Mir (http://satobs.org/telescope.html). Following up via Google, I found http://www.claycenter.org/news/ClayCenter%20announcement-2nd%20launch.pdf , which shows their portable imaging equipment (and them). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
