Summary

Description
English: One of NASA's WB-57F jet planes takes to the skies, carrying a special nose-mounted imaging system that will help NASA track and safeguard Shuttle Discovery during STS-114: Space Shuttle Return to Flight. The WB-57s are normally used by NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston for high-altitude weather research. An engineering team lead by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., designed and built the WB-57 Ascent Video Experiment, or WAVE project, a video recording system designed to capture visible-light and infrared imagery of the Shuttle as it lifts off on its journey to orbit. Discovery is expected to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Fla., between May 15 and June 3. Aircraft was originally manufactured as a USAF Martin B-57B-MA, 52-1536. Later rebuilt as an as RB-57F 63-13298. loaned to NASA as 928, re-registered as N928NA.
