According to a story in the Houston Chronicle, NASA has a plan for
getting photo coverage of night shuttle launches.

"The fix involves flying two modified B-57 high-altitude airplanes on
either side of the shuttle, filming its liftoff and the first two
minutes of flight, said NASA imaging expert Robert Page."
