Does anyone know the entire timeline stats of a shuttle launch regarding speed, altitude & miles downrange at any given time during launch to orbit? For example, at 3 minutes after launch, how fast, how high and how far? |

Similarly, can anyone pass along reentry information? How high / fast at each point on reentry? |

I'm kind of wondering why the launch platform is listed at -26 feet. But I don't know where a landing profile exists offhand. |

Maybe the bottom of the launch platform is below sea level, and they calculate from there ? BTW: My office desk in The Hague lies on the geographical height of about -13 feet ... quote: Originally posted by Ben: I'm kind of wondering why the launch platform is listed at -26 feet.
