Scientific paper
The STS-11 mission was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on February 3, 1984. A description is presented of some unique observations of the Shuttle. The observations were made with ground-based astronomical equipment. One objective of the reported study was related to a test of the ability of low-cost, low-light-level television equipment to monitor satellites in orbit, while a second objective involved the visual and photographic observation of the reentry characteristics of a Space Shuttle Orbiter. Attention is given to details concerning the STS-11 mission, the observation of the Shuttle and its payloads against a background of known comparison stars, the STS-11 reentry trajectory, astronaut observations, Site One photographs, Site Two data, and the reentry wake.
