Hi there,

Can anyone help me?
What happens after the Space Shuttle is launched, the ships and groundcrews
have gone back to the harbor or whereever they go and all side-activities
have
stopped. On what frequency should one listen to hear something from the crew
or
mission?

I presume that those frequencies are the same for someone listening in
Europe, Australia or in the United States???
