The camera observing the SRB separation was ground based, and was
used on all STS missions to track the shuttle, except in one case
where it was too cloudy to get a good picture.  By the way, this
camera was also used to provide long-distance visuals of the Apollo
launches, but staging occurred at a much greater altitude so the
coverage wasn't as spectacular.
