Hi there, when I watched the Shuttle launches from KSC at TV, I often recognized this role motion during the first 20 seconds. I do not remember if this occurs always. Has it something to do with ?yaw-wheel-steering-mode?, is it just a function test of the bird or is it used to adjust the plane? BTW, since my work is related to the STS, is anybody able to post a list of Shuttle contingency cases during launch and orbit stay time? Thanx in advance -Thorsten- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thorsten Nedderhut mbp Software & Systems GmbH ESA/ESOC/ECD/OAD/STB Dortmund, Germany Darmstadt, Germany

It always occurs, it is to adjust the plane. The amount of roll varies according to what orbit the Shuttle is headed for.

I want to thank all of you who sent me an answer to my above mentioned question. BTW, shortly after posting it I recognized the misspelling of the word 'roll'.
