WIRELESS CAMERA GOES ANYWHERE: Or something like that...The Shuttlecam is set to ride on the next flight, giving live (not tape delayed) video looking down from the intertank between the ET and Orbiter.

I question Engelauf's assertion that it's "just for the cool video" -- it was my understanding that it is partly that, and partly to observe debris impingement on the windward surface of the Orbiter during ascent.

The Delta videos are interesting to watch. This ought to be worlds better (just knock on wood that there won't be another 51L).
