Washington, D.C. (December 5, 2006)
-- HDNet will broadcast the Thursday night launch of the
Space Shuttle Discovery, the first nighttime launch
since 2002.
The night sky should provide for a dramatic backdrop for
the high-def coverage. HDNet, a 24-hour High-Definition
TV network, is available on satellite and several cable
systems.
"Capturing any Shuttle launch in High Definition is a
challenging event,” says HDNet co-founder and GM Philip
Garvin. “A night launch is even harder, but we expect
it to be spectacular. We take in video from
over 20 HD cameras spread around the massive NASA & Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station – in some cases our video
signal travels over 8 miles of fiber."
The launch is scheduled for Thursday, December 7th, at
9:36 p.m. ET. But HDNet's live coverage will begin at 6
p.m.
