I have compiled the following DVD discs that I'm offering for sale at $5 each, including postage in the US. More DVDs will be offered as I digitize my video archive.
List of DVDs available updated Tuesday, September 23, 2008
NSTAR 2003 launches. This contains ground footage and aerial still photos from our 2003 flights. Watch highlights of our launches from arrival at site to payload recovery! About 70 minutes.
NSTAR Flight 03-E Payload Video. This is unedited footage from the payload video camera. About 2 hours.
NSTAR Flight 03-F Payload Video. Also unedited and about 2 hours, this is our first flight with clear video from launch to landing.
NSTAR Flight 03-C Payload Video. The tape ran out just before touchdown on this flight.
NSTAR Flight 03-B Payload Video. This was our "slow-ascent" flight and video is more stable than usual (but not pointed down at the horizon as well). Plus a surprise near the end!
NSTAR Flight 01-B Payload Video. On this one, the camcorder came off the payload train and crashed, but we salvaged the tape. About half of the ascent footage is obscured by lens condensation, though.
NSTAR Flight 02-F Payload Video. This one is short (40 mins) because the camcorder was stuck in SP mode, but the image quality is better in that mode.
NSTAR Flight 02-E Payload Video. We launched just as a hot-air balloon was passing nearby.
NSTAR Flight 04-G Payload Video. Another launch-to-landing video - very nice.
The DVDs are burned onto DVD-R media ("minus R"), which is compatible with most modern DVD players. See this website to check if your player is compatible with this media type. I also have DVD+R media if that works better for your player.
If you are interested in purchasing these DVDs, e-mail me for payment details. If they don't play in your player, return them and I'll refund your money (less postage).
