Cameras at NASA's Space Launch System booster test in March will provide critical data for first flight. Shown here, a screenshot of the cameras cycling through different settings during the two-minute booster firing.
Eight cameras with more than 40 different settings -- including varying exposures -- were set up near the forward portion of the booster at Orbital ATK's test facilities in Promontory, Utah. The cameras were computer controlled and cycled through pre-programmed settings during the two-minute test. The work was done by the SLS Flight Imaging Launch Monitoring Real-time System (FILMRS) team at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where the SLS Program is managed for the agency.
