STS-80 mission
Start: 19 November 1996, 19:55:47 UTC
Landinng: 7 December 1996, 11:49:05 UTC
Orbiter: Space Shuttle Columbia
Footage by astronaut Story Musgrave, the only astronaut present of all 5 shuttles that were in use until his retirement. Musgrave has spent a total of 1,281 hours, 59 minutes, 22 seconds on space missions, including nearly 27 hours of space walk.
Recorded during a December night of 1996. The object seems to emerge from between Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands, a little bit towards the camera, therefore it seems bigger frame by frame. Its speed oscillated around 1094 kilometres per second.
