Why don't they make an controlled reentry over Germany? I would like to see it. :lol: :lol:

Just saw it the last time in the sky. Have a nice reentry ATV!

Does it have a webcam on board? It would be nice to see it burn up from an on-board perspective.

No webcam.

Wouldn't the ionized air interfere with any video feed? And probably the heat would cause the webcam and related circuitry to malfunction before the ATV would break up.

Does it have a webcam on board? It would be nice to see it burn up from an on-board perspective.

The cam would probably be among the first things to go.
