1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:09,210 you 2 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:12,839 here's our commander Chris Ferguson he's 3 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:17,770 in the suit-up room he's having a fit 4 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:22,450 check of his helmet pilot Doug Hurley 5 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:27,010 this is his second trip into space he 6 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:28,689 completed his first spaceflight on 7 00:00:35,310 --> 00:00:32,169 sts-127 he's logged more than 300 76 8 00:00:39,630 --> 00:00:35,320 hours in space mission specialist number 9 00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:39,640 one sandy Magnus this is her third 10 00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:42,399 spaceflight she spent more than four 11 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:44,440 months in space aboard the International 12 00:00:50,819 --> 00:00:48,489 Space Station this is Rex Walheim he's 13 00:00:53,639 --> 00:00:50,829 our mission specialist number two he's 14 00:00:58,170 --> 00:00:53,649 making his third spaceflight he spent 15 00:01:01,529 --> 00:00:58,180 more than 24 days in space on sts-1 10 16 00:01:38,539 --> 00:01:01,539 and sts-122 and he's had five spacewalks 17 00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:40,800 got a great shot of Doug here over on 18 00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:42,100 the right he's looking over pretty much 19 00:01:44,279 --> 00:01:43,060 directly at the camera what he's 20 00:01:45,779 --> 00:01:44,289 actually looking at he's got a checklist 21 00:01:48,029 --> 00:01:45,789 over there he's taking a look at and 22 00:01:50,190 --> 00:01:48,039 he's talking with Fergie right now on 23 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:50,200 the intercom 24 00:02:07,930 --> 00:01:55,010 okay CMS to concept and that's OTC I got 25 00:02:10,420 --> 00:02:07,940 you loud and clear how me so that was 26 00:02:11,650 --> 00:02:10,430 our last competition you can see Rex 27 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:11,660 after the first comp check is bringing 28 00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:13,130 his visor down and locking it with that 29 00:02:16,660 --> 00:02:14,840 bar that comes down and that's what 30 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:16,670 makes the seal airtight and now I'll be 31 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:17,840 known as communication check with the 32 00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:20,570 NASA test director here at Florida and 33 00:02:30,130 --> 00:02:23,560 then with Mission Control in Houston 34 00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:30,140 firing chain is armed go for main engine 35 00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:41,870 starting t-minus 10 9 burning two one 36 00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:45,470 zero and liftoff the final liftoff of 37 00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:48,020 Atlantis shoulders of the Space Shuttle 38 00:02:58,130 --> 00:02:56,020 Roger are with Lana 39 00:03:00,530 --> 00:02:58,140 Houston now controlling the flight of 40 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,540 Atlantis Space Shuttle spreads its wings 41 00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:02,640 one final time for the start of a 42 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:07,260 Sentimental Journey into history 24 43 00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:09,090 seconds into the flight roll program 44 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:11,400 complete atlantis now heads down wings 45 00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:13,110 level on the proper alignment for its 46 00:03:16,250 --> 00:03:14,180 eight and a half minute ride to orbit 47 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:16,260 four and a half million pounds of 48 00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:17,910 hardware and humans taking aim on the 49 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:22,470 International Space Station 40 seconds 50 00:03:26,270 --> 00:03:24,330 into the flight the three liquid fuel 51 00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:26,280 main engines throttling back to 72 52 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:27,870 percent of rated performance in the 53 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:29,730 bucket reducing stress on the shuttle as 54 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:37,040 engines now revving up standing by for 55 00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:46,170 the throttle up call booster officer 56 00:03:50,180 --> 00:03:48,360 confirms staging a good solid rocket 57 00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:50,190 booster separation guidance now 58 00:03:54,020 --> 00:03:52,440 converging the main engine steering the 59 00:03:56,660 --> 00:03:54,030 shuttle on a pinpoint path to its 60 00:03:57,229 --> 00:03:56,670 preliminary orbit two minutes 20 seconds 61 00:03:59,900 --> 00:03:57,239 into the flight 62 00:04:02,479 --> 00:03:59,910 Atlantis already traveling 3,200 miles 63 00:04:10,490 --> 00:04:02,489 an hour 35 miles in altitude 50 miles 64 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:10,500 downrange and the guidance officer here 65 00:04:13,370 --> 00:04:12,000 in Mission Control confirms that the 66 00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:13,380 computers are commanding the main 67 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,600 engines to swivel we've rolled to a 68 00:04:25,159 --> 00:04:23,520 heads-up position now providing better 69 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:25,169 communications to the tracking and data 70 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:27,930 relay satellite system as Atlantis heads 71 00:04:38,030 --> 00:04:32,130 uphill six minutes 20 seconds into the

have fallen 75 00:04:47,570 --> 00:04:45,360 silent as the shuttle slips into the 76 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:47,580 final chapter of a storied 30-year 77 00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:50,880 adventure now standing by for external 78 00:05:06,029 --> 00:05:04,379 atlantis off the tank commander Chris 79 00:05:08,339 --> 00:05:06,039 Ferguson will be maneuvering Atlantis 80 00:05:10,589 --> 00:05:08,349 now into an orientation to enable sandy 81 00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:10,599 Magnus to capture digital still imagery 82 00:05:15,059 --> 00:05:12,280 of the external fuel tank as it drifts
