130th

44
00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,630
this week in the life of the

45
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:02,560
international space station began on the

46
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:05,360
southern coast of japan on saturday when

47
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:06,240
a

48
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:24,720
is currently on route to the

49
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:26,720
international space station a flawless

50
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:29,040
countdown after the vehicle was fueled

51
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:31,360
resulted in the engines and the solid

52
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,040
rocket boosters igniting at 248 and 46

53
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:38,080
seconds p.m central time on saturday

54
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:40,000
which was 4 40

55
00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:44,080
8 and 46 seconds am japan time on sunday

56
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,879
morning the rise to orbit

57
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:48,239
arcing out

58
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:51,040
actually over the south east

59
00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:53,840
was picture perfect the solid rocket

60
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:56,959
boosters firing in concert with the two

61
00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,800
engines comprising the first stage of

62
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,120
the h-2b rocket the solid rocket

63
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:02,959
boosters burning out two minutes into

64
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,360
the flight they were jettisoned

65
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:07,200
followed about a minute and a half later

66
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:10,800
by the jettisoning of the fairing that

67
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:13,760
enshrouded the htv-4 cargo ship the

68
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:16,239
unpiloted cargo ship that is currently

69
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:17,760
on route to the international space

70
00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,720
station

71
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:21,120
the first stage engine cut off at about

72
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:23,760
the 5 minute 46 second mark into the

73
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:26,000
flight the first and second stages of

74
00:03:32,309 --> 00:03:29,360
the h2b rocket separated and the second

75
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,319
stage engine ignited just seconds later

76
00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:34,480
and burned for about eight minutes and

77
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:36,000
10 seconds

78
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,519
to finally place the htv-4 vehicle into

79
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,760
its preliminary orbit and to begin a

80
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:43,920
six-day chase to catch up to the

81
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:47,120
international space station ironically

82
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,680
at the time that the htv-4 was placed

83
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:51,519
into its preliminary orbit the

84
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:53,440
international space station flew

85
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:55,920
directly overhead over the tanagashima

86
00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:58,319
space center in southern japan from

87
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:01,439
where the htv4 left just a few minutes

88
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,480
earlier

89
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:04,480
since launch a series of rendezvous

90
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:05,760
burns have been

91
00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:08,720
successfully executed to fine-tune the

92
00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:11,439
path of the htv-4 cargo ship to the

93
00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:14,159
international space station additional

94
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:16,479
engine firings and mid-course correction

95
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:18,799
burns are on tap for the remainder of

96
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,320
the week setting up the htv

97
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:24,960
for its uh arrival at the international

98
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:27,680
space station on friday morning

99
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:32,720
the htv is loaded with 3.6 tons of cargo

100
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:35,720
involved in that cargo complement some

101
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:38,960
4094 pounds of dry cargo spare parts and

102
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,479
experiment hardware some 1257

103
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,160
pounds of water and two dozen

104
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:46,240
contingency water bags

105
00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:47,199
that

106
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:50,560
cargo is housed inside the htv itself

107
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,440
known as pressurized cargo then outside

108
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:55,600
on what is known as the exposed pallet

109
00:05:02,469 --> 00:04:58,800
in a slot in the htv vehicle is external

110
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:02,479
cargo a 516 pound main bus switching

111
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:04,800

station a 644 pound utility transfer

114
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,400
assembly integrated assembly that's

115
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,400
basically a

116
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:16,960
an electronics assembly for the solar

117
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:19,680
alpha rotary joint on the international

118
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:23,759
space station and a 721 pound experiment

119
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:26,560
called the space test program

120
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:27,360
for

121
00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:32,240
that hardware housed on the

122
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:34,639
exposed pallet that will be extracted

123
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:38,160
from the side slot on the htv itself on

124
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:41,120
sunday and installed after a handoff to

125
00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:42,880
the japanese robotic arm it will be

126
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:45,520
installed on the porch of the kibo

127
00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,560
module

128
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:48,479
where the experiments will be plucked

129
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:50,240
out of that pallet one by one and

130
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:53,600
installed on the exposed facility the

131
00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:55,919
experiment platform on the outside of

the kibo module

133
00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:00,800
the rendezvous burns that will

134
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:03,520
eventually lead up to and include the

135
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,600
grapple of the htv

136
00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:07,680
for its birthing on the earth-facing

137
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:10,639
side of harmony will result in the htv

138
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,080
approaching the international space

139
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:14,560

space station

153
00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:46,880
once uh it is uh in place uh then

154
00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:49,520
commanding of uh bolting will uh take

155
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,160
place uh with first and second stage

156
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:54,880
capture uh to follow the second stage

157
00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,360
capture actually representing the formal

158
00:07:01,990 --> 00:06:59,840
uh mating of the htv to the

159
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:02,000
international space station and a

160
00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:04,560
month-long stay on the international

161
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:05,599
outpost

162
00:07:10,870 --> 00:07:07,840
for the unloading of its equipment on

163
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:10,880
september 4th the htv will be unbirthed

164
00:07:15,029 --> 00:07:13,280
and discarded loaded with trash for a

165
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,039
fiery reentry back into the earth's

166
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:17,280
atmosphere where it will burn up

167
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:19,520
over the pacific ocean

168
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:22,160
to that end nyberg chris cassidy and

169
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,400
luca parmitano have been rehearsing

170
00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:26,639
grapple procedures today using the

171
00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:29,199
station's robotic arm the canadarm2

172
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:31,840
again operating out of the cupola on the

173
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:34,160
international space station parmitano

174
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:36,960
will be responsible for monitoring the

175
00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:38,160
systems

176
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,720
on the htv as it makes its glacial

177
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:42,960
approach toward its grapple

178
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:46,160
by nyberg and cassidy here is a view in

179
00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:49,440
fact of chris cassidy inside the row

180
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:51,520
inside the cupola at the robotics

181
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:52,720
workstation

182
00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:55,199
where he and nyberg have been rehearsing

183
00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:57,680
what they call offset grapple procedures

184
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:01,039
a variety of fine tune techniques to

185
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:03,199
make sure that they have the proficiency

186
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:05,759
that they need on friday to reach out

187
00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:08,000
and grab onto the htv

188
00:08:21,990 --> 00:08:19,350
also uh involved today uh more activity

189
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,000
