STS 132 Launch Sequence

Here is the sequence of shots from ignition until 20 seconds. From our vantage point 6.5 miles south of the launch pad it too the sound almost 30 seconds to reach us. The thing that really surprised me the most was just how bright the flames were. It was almost hard to look at and in these shots I should have underexposed them a bit to bring out some of the details in there. Lesson learned.

 

Much, much bigger version here.
