Shuttle Recovery video footage

[signumops]

I'm working on a book about the Cape Canaveral area. I understand from various sources that there is video of submerged objects in the search area recorded by equipment used during the Challenger recovery operation, to wit by ROV, diver, submersible, ect.. Has anybody seen this footage, or heard about it? Any idea where I might find it?

All the info you need is on the NASA website.I think it is called the Vault.I know there are pics there.Also FBI has info.FBI — Space Shuttle Challenger Part 1 of 3


Harbor Branch Oceanographic's two Johnson-Sea-Link submersibles aided in ground-truthing wreckage on the seafloor and located the section of the SRB where the failure occurred.

Yep, the video logs are in there. I think target 0 means "something not part of Challenger". In their final report, the Navy states they located 811 targets using super sonar, of which 700 + were ID'd. Of those 700, there were two lost airplanes (maybe dopers) and a pile of shipwrecks, as well as around 250 geophysical anomalies (rocks, rifts, crevasse and so forth). Next question: how do you get the videos?

BTW, thanks for that FISHEYE!

Try applying for a freedom of information act with NASA and request a copy of the videos.They found all kinds of stuff down there.They even sent down divers to identify a beer can and a crab shell.I think after finding most of the wreckage they got bored with the rest of it.
