- Question for the JSC guys...
-
- 1) I heard that this was SUPPOSED to be an autoland test?
-
- 2) What was meant by the callouts (I may not have the terminology correct) at
- the 90 degree hack "Discovery you are low on the 90 degree... Discovery you are
- VERY low on the 90 degree 3,000 feet". They then closed the rudder speed
- brake, and returned to centerline. This happened when the orbiter was only
- 10,000 feet off the ground, and I would think a 3,000 ft error would be a tad
- bit excessive....
