The solid rocket booster, under parachute control, splashes down in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida as seen by a camera mounted to spent motor. The SRB was used in the launch of space shuttle Discovery's STS-95 mission in October 1998 when John Glenn returned to space. Source video: NASA TV (315k, 35sec QuickTime file).
