Live NASA feed just now

Here you go. I'm not sure what the flashes across the camera are near the start, but the spheres can clearly be seen at 30 secs

Video of spheres

I'm finishing work now (so glad the boss isn't in today ) so i'll catch up with the thread later at home.

Keep watching!

Thanks for uploading the vids, would love to know what they are!

Is anyone watching the live NASA feed of Endeavour docking with ISS?

I just saw a load of blinking lights going all directions while they were showing a view from ISS, which mission control explained away as 'the jets firing'. Doesn't look like jets firing to me...

The maneuvering thrusters sometimes "pulse" on and off. That could be the blinking you saw. The pulsing could look like blinking from a distance.

The pulsing light was going off again just now. Really bright light coming from behind the ISS with the Endeavour in view one mile away. Under the shuttle there was another object that was lit up and was also pulsing from the light - thats gone now though.

Does the ISS have to use thrusters to manouvere into position or just the shuttle? or both?

Nah, it was various pinpoint lights, blinking on and off at different rates in different directions in different parts of the screen. Man, i so wish i'd got a video of it!! After that, they suddenly changed the brighness settings to make the background blue instead of black.

This time NASA is right. Fire thrusters and by consequence a lot of debris. Nothing
relevant, move on.

Endeavour firing thrusters. Slide the bar.



Another fire thruster, there were several.



Then the expected debris appearing.





If you want to see something odd check this.

Would they be showing this on the nasa channel on tv also?

cant you upload to better media website like youtube?
