1 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,150 we launched in the middle of the night 2 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:26,160 we launched in the middle of the night 3 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,030 we launched in the middle of the night on a night when when we were kind of 4 00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:29,040 on a night when when we were kind of 5 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,320 on a night when when we were kind of wondering whether we're gonna go fly or 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:30,330 wondering whether we're gonna go fly or 7 00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:32,570 wondering whether we're gonna go fly or not we finally got to go ahead and suit 8 00:00:32,570 --> 00:00:32,580 not we finally got to go ahead and suit 9 00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:34,460 not we finally got to go ahead and suit up this is my favorite piece of gear to 10 00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:34,470 up this is my favorite piece of gear to 11 00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:37,450 up this is my favorite piece of gear to put on very very comfortable 12 00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:37,460 put on very very comfortable 13 00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:43,040 put on very very comfortable here's Borneo putting it on his suit for 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:43,050 here's Borneo putting it on his suit for 15 00:00:43,050 --> 00:00:45,049 here's Borneo putting it on his suit for his first flight you see John Grunsfeld 16 00:00:45,049 --> 00:00:45,059 his first flight you see John Grunsfeld 17 00:00:45,059 --> 00:00:47,350 his first flight you see John Grunsfeld on the right everybody is raring to go 18 00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:47,360 on the right everybody is raring to go 19 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,229 on the right everybody is raring to go we had a sort of a marginal call from 20 00:00:51,229 --> 00:00:51,239 we had a sort of a marginal call from 21 00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:52,850 we had a sort of a marginal call from the weather guys for those of you that 22 00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:52,860 the weather guys for those of you that 23 00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:55,790 the weather guys for those of you that followed it Sam on the left and Ron on 24 00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:55,800 followed it Sam on the left and Ron on 25 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,139 followed it Sam on the left and Ron on the right and we're all kind of thinking 26 00:00:57,139 --> 00:00:57,149 the right and we're all kind of thinking 27 00:00:57,149 --> 00:00:58,880 the right and we're all kind of thinking that this is sort of a dress rehearsal 28 00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:58,890 that this is sort of a dress rehearsal 29 00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:00,319 that this is sort of a dress rehearsal for the real launch day which would 30 00:01:00,319 --> 00:01:00,329 for the real launch day which would 31 00:01:00,329 --> 00:01:03,260 for the real launch day which would probably be the next day Tammy putting 32 00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:03,270 probably be the next day Tammy putting 33 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:07,490 probably be the next day Tammy putting her suit on and Wendy sue texted just a 34 00:01:07,490 --> 00:01:07,500 her suit on and Wendy sue texted just a 35 00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,790 her suit on and Wendy sue texted just a marvelous job I think we may be one of 36 00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:10,800 marvelous job I think we may be one of 37 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,020 marvelous job I think we may be one of the last flights that actually where's 38 00:01:12,020 --> 00:01:12,030 the last flights that actually where's 39 00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,609 the last flights that actually where's the L es as we get ready to go into the 40 00:01:13,609 --> 00:01:13,619 the L es as we get ready to go into the 41 00:01:13,619 --> 00:01:17,810 the L es as we get ready to go into the ASA suits but we were all fired up and 42 00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:17,820 ASA suits but we were all fired up and 43 00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:20,060 ASA suits but we were all fired up and ready to go and lo and behold we went to 44 00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:20,070 ready to go and lo and behold we went to 45 00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:23,870 ready to go and lo and behold we went to fly here we are starting the main engine 46 00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:23,880 fly here we are starting the main engine 47 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,749 fly here we are starting the main engine seven seconds before a launch of course 48 00:01:26,749 --> 00:01:26,759 seven seconds before a launch of course 49 00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:28,460 seven seconds before a launch of course a little over a million pounds of thrust 50 00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:28,470 a little over a million pounds of thrust 51 00:01:28,470 --> 00:01:30,620 a little over a million pounds of thrust there to SRBs 52 00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:30,630 there to SRBs 53 00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:32,390 there to SRBs you see the 20 maneuvers Steve in the 54 00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:32,400 you see the 20 maneuvers Steve in the 55 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,120 you see the 20 maneuvers Steve in the left window to s Survey's lighting 56 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:34,130 left window to s Survey's lighting 57 00:01:34,130 --> 00:01:36,410 left window to s Survey's lighting basically four and a half million pounds 58 00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:36,420 basically four and a half million pounds 59 00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:37,640 basically four and a half million pounds of weight and eight million pounds of 60 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:37,650 of weight and eight million pounds of 61 00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:40,310 of weight and eight million pounds of thrust pushing us upwards instant 62 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:40,320 thrust pushing us upwards instant 63 00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,530 thrust pushing us upwards instant daylight obviously you can see how well 64 00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:42,540 daylight obviously you can see how well 65 00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:44,690 daylight obviously you can see how well we illuminated things John and Wendy 66 00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:44,700 we illuminated things John and Wendy 67 00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:46,700 we illuminated things John and Wendy were able to actually see the launch pad 68 00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:46,710 were able to actually see the launch pad 69 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:49,340 were able to actually see the launch pad the smoke plume and the coast by looking 70 00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:49,350 the smoke plume and the coast by looking 71 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:52,580 the smoke plume and the coast by looking back through a mirror and obviously a 72 00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:52,590 back through a mirror and obviously a 73 00:01:52,590 --> 00:01:54,469 back through a mirror and obviously a majestic sight for everyone as we 74 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:54,479 majestic sight for everyone as we 75 00:01:54,479 --> 00:01:59,320 majestic sight for everyone as we quickly disappear from sight here and 76 00:01:59,320 --> 00:01:59,330 quickly disappear from sight here and 77 00:01:59,330 --> 00:02:02,390 quickly disappear from sight here and approximately two minutes we approached 78 00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:02,400 approximately two minutes we approached 79 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,700 approximately two minutes we approached SRB Sep which of course gave us a 80 00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:04,710 SRB Sep which of course gave us a 81 00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:06,950 SRB Sep which of course gave us a beautiful view of the forward rockets as 82 00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:06,960 beautiful view of the forward rockets as 83 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,800 beautiful view of the forward rockets as they separate it inside and we're on our 84 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:09,810 they separate it inside and we're on our 85 00:02:09,810 --> 00:02:16,759 they separate it inside and we're on our way to orbit here we are a little over 86 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:16,769 way to orbit here we are a little over 87 00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:18,530 way to orbit here we are a little over an hour into the flight just a 88 00:02:18,530 --> 00:02:18,540 an hour into the flight just a 89 00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:20,180 an hour into the flight just a witnessing this beautiful view of the 90 00:02:20,180 --> 00:02:20,190 witnessing this beautiful view of the 91 00:02:20,190 --> 00:02:22,640 witnessing this beautiful view of the earth but flight day one is extremely 92 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:22,650 earth but flight day one is extremely 93 00:02:22,650 --> 00:02:25,190 earth but flight day one is extremely busy and so we needed to get to work we 94 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:25,200 busy and so we needed to get to work we 95 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,430 busy and so we needed to get to work we opened our payload bay doors a little 96 00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:28,440 opened our payload bay doors a little 97 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,670 opened our payload bay doors a little over an hour into the flight and then 98 00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:31,680 over an hour into the flight and then 99 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,520 over an hour into the flight and then soon we'll be activating our space lab 100 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:34,530 soon we'll be activating our space lab 101 00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:37,580 soon we'll be activating our space lab pallet and activating our instrument 102 00:02:37,580 --> 00:02:37,590 pallet and activating our instrument 103 00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:39,619 pallet and activating our instrument system all of which is done from the a 104 00:02:39,619 --> 00:02:39,629 system all of which is done from the a 105 00:02:39,629 --> 00:02:43,070 system all of which is done from the a flight deck once we attach our 106 00:02:43,070 --> 00:02:43,080 flight deck once we attach our 107 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,199 flight deck once we attach our telescopes to the instrument pointing 108 00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:45,209 telescopes to the instrument pointing 109 00:02:45,209 --> 00:02:48,199 telescopes to the instrument pointing system we deploy that IPS and 110 00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:48,209 system we deploy that IPS and 111 00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:52,059 system we deploy that IPS and instruments to the upright position and 112 00:02:52,059 --> 00:02:52,069 instruments to the upright position and 113 00:02:52,069 --> 00:02:54,619 instruments to the upright position and then a little bit later on we'll be 114 00:02:54,619 --> 00:02:54,629 then a little bit later on we'll be 115 00:02:54,629 --> 00:02:56,600 then a little bit later on we'll be doing a thorough check out of the IPS 116 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:56,610 doing a thorough check out of the IPS 117 00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,270 doing a thorough check out of the IPS and also a check out of all our 118 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:59,280 and also a check out of all our 119 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,030 and also a check out of all our ultraviolet telescopes in preparation 120 00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:02,040 ultraviolet telescopes in preparation 121 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,460 ultraviolet telescopes in preparation for the next 15 days of astronomical 122 00:03:04,460 --> 00:03:04,470 for the next 15 days of astronomical 123 00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:18,869 for the next 15 days of astronomical observations 124 00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:18,879 125 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:21,750 on from the left-hand side I worked the 126 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:21,760 on from the left-hand side I worked the 127 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,330 on from the left-hand side I worked the IPS side and Sam on the right-hand side 128 00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:24,340 IPS side and Sam on the right-hand side 129 00:03:24,340 --> 00:03:26,789 IPS side and Sam on the right-hand side is doing the in speed instrument 130 00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:26,799 is doing the in speed instrument 131 00:03:26,799 --> 00:03:36,149 is doing the in speed instrument checkout we were able to very quickly 132 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:36,159 checkout we were able to very quickly 133 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,069 checkout we were able to very quickly settle into the routine I was 134 00:03:38,069 --> 00:03:38,079 settle into the routine I was 135 00:03:38,079 --> 00:03:39,899 settle into the routine I was responsible for making sure the orbiter 136 00:03:39,899 --> 00:03:39,909 responsible for making sure the orbiter 137 00:03:39,909 --> 00:03:41,960 responsible for making sure the orbiter was pointed at the right part of the sky 138 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:41,970 was pointed at the right part of the sky 139 00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:44,339 was pointed at the right part of the sky Tammy was responsible for fine tuning 140 00:03:44,339 --> 00:03:44,349 Tammy was responsible for fine tuning 141 00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:47,490 Tammy was responsible for fine tuning with the instrument pointing system and 142 00:03:47,490 --> 00:03:47,500 with the instrument pointing system and 143 00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,289 with the instrument pointing system and then the telescope's would lock on to 144 00:03:49,289 --> 00:03:49,299 then the telescope's would lock on to 145 00:03:49,299 --> 00:03:51,390 then the telescope's would lock on to the target and he might be wondering why 146 00:03:51,390 --> 00:03:51,400 the target and he might be wondering why 147 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,530 the target and he might be wondering why we're looking at the earth but we're 148 00:03:52,530 --> 00:03:52,540 we're looking at the earth but we're 149 00:03:52,540 --> 00:03:54,539 we're looking at the earth but we're currently rolling to the right attitude 150 00:03:54,539 --> 00:03:54,549 currently rolling to the right attitude 151 00:03:54,549 --> 00:03:56,099 currently rolling to the right attitude the idea was that we would pick up a 152 00:03:56,099 --> 00:03:56,109 the idea was that we would pick up a 153 00:03:56,109 --> 00:03:58,679 the idea was that we would pick up a star as it rose above the Earth's limb 154 00:03:58,679 --> 00:03:58,689 star as it rose above the Earth's limb 155 00:03:58,689 --> 00:04:01,050 star as it rose above the Earth's limb and then Sam would go to work making 156 00:04:01,050 --> 00:04:01,060 and then Sam would go to work making 157 00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:02,699 and then Sam would go to work making sure the experiments were ready to start 158 00:04:02,699 --> 00:04:02,709 sure the experiments were ready to start 159 00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:05,369 sure the experiments were ready to start the observation and quickly we have the 160 00:04:05,369 --> 00:04:05,379 the observation and quickly we have the 161 00:04:05,379 --> 00:04:06,929 the observation and quickly we have the Astro star tracker on the left 162 00:04:06,929 --> 00:04:06,939 Astro star tracker on the left 163 00:04:06,939 --> 00:04:09,839 Astro star tracker on the left uit Hut is right in the middle and 164 00:04:09,839 --> 00:04:09,849 uit Hut is right in the middle and 165 00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:14,369 uit Hut is right in the middle and whoopee is on the right hand side a very 166 00:04:14,369 --> 00:04:14,379 whoopee is on the right hand side a very 167 00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:16,740 whoopee is on the right hand side a very very capable package of telescopes and 168 00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:16,750 very capable package of telescopes and 169 00:04:16,750 --> 00:04:20,610 very capable package of telescopes and really did an outstanding job we had a 170 00:04:20,610 --> 00:04:20,620 really did an outstanding job we had a 171 00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:22,580 really did an outstanding job we had a number of tools onboard to help us 172 00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:22,590 number of tools onboard to help us 173 00:04:22,590 --> 00:04:24,930 number of tools onboard to help us evaluate how we were doing we 174 00:04:24,930 --> 00:04:24,940 evaluate how we were doing we 175 00:04:24,940 --> 00:04:26,189 evaluate how we were doing we communicated to the telescope's 176 00:04:26,189 --> 00:04:26,199 communicated to the telescope's 177 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,800 communicated to the telescope's primarily through the small laptop 178 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:28,810 primarily through the small laptop 179 00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:31,110 primarily through the small laptop computers I'm issuing commands directly 180 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:31,120 computers I'm issuing commands directly 181 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,580 computers I'm issuing commands directly to the telescope and you saw Tammy 182 00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:32,590 to the telescope and you saw Tammy 183 00:04:32,590 --> 00:04:34,469 to the telescope and you saw Tammy issuing commands to the instrument 184 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:34,479 issuing commands to the instrument 185 00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:37,589 issuing commands to the instrument pointing system this is what we would 186 00:04:37,589 --> 00:04:37,599 pointing system this is what we would 187 00:04:37,599 --> 00:04:39,060 pointing system this is what we would see through the Hopkins ultraviolet 188 00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:39,070 see through the Hopkins ultraviolet 189 00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:40,560 see through the Hopkins ultraviolet telescope it had a TV camera that 190 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:40,570 telescope it had a TV camera that 191 00:04:40,570 --> 00:04:41,399 telescope it had a TV camera that actually looked out through the 192 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:41,409 actually looked out through the 193 00:04:41,409 --> 00:04:43,980 actually looked out through the telescope and here you see an 194 00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:43,990 telescope and here you see an 195 00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:46,320 telescope and here you see an acquisition of the planet Jupiter we're 196 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,330 acquisition of the planet Jupiter we're 197 00:04:46,330 --> 00:04:48,240 acquisition of the planet Jupiter we're actually looking at the space around 198 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:48,250 actually looking at the space around 199 00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:50,760 actually looking at the space around Jupiter and displayed below that was a 200 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:50,770 Jupiter and displayed below that was a 201 00:04:50,770 --> 00:04:53,510 Jupiter and displayed below that was a spectrum that we're actually acquiring 202 00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:53,520 spectrum that we're actually acquiring 203 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,010 spectrum that we're actually acquiring here you see the Wisconsin ultraviolet 204 00:04:56,010 --> 00:04:56,020 here you see the Wisconsin ultraviolet 205 00:04:56,020 --> 00:04:57,899 here you see the Wisconsin ultraviolet photopolymer imager experiment in the 206 00:04:57,899 --> 00:04:57,909 photopolymer imager experiment in the 207 00:04:57,909 --> 00:05:00,420 photopolymer imager experiment in the foreground and this is the type of image 208 00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:00,430 foreground and this is the type of image 209 00:05:00,430 --> 00:05:02,310 foreground and this is the type of image we would get from the whoopi instrument 210 00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:02,320 we would get from the whoopi instrument 211 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,070 we would get from the whoopi instrument this shows a star in the acquisition 212 00:05:05,070 --> 00:05:05,080 this shows a star in the acquisition 213 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,770 this shows a star in the acquisition camera and in addition we had spectral 214 00:05:07,770 --> 00:05:07,780 camera and in addition we had spectral 215 00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:10,170 camera and in addition we had spectral data from whoopi also to evaluate the 216 00:05:10,170 --> 00:05:10,180 data from whoopi also to evaluate the 217 00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:11,399 data from whoopi also to evaluate the target to make sure that we're looking 218 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:11,409 target to make sure that we're looking 219 00:05:11,409 --> 00:05:12,870 target to make sure that we're looking at the right target and the data was 220 00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:12,880 at the right target and the data was 221 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,080 at the right target and the data was good well what ended up being a very 222 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,090 good well what ended up being a very 223 00:05:16,090 --> 00:05:20,700 good well what ended up being a very very short checkout period we got into 224 00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:20,710 very short checkout period we got into 225 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:22,499 very short checkout period we got into the routine of observing target after 226 00:05:22,499 --> 00:05:22,509 the routine of observing target after 227 00:05:22,509 --> 00:05:25,379 the routine of observing target after target fir'd for the rest of the mission 228 00:05:25,379 --> 00:05:25,389 target fir'd for the rest of the mission 229 00:05:25,389 --> 00:05:29,290 target fir'd for the rest of the mission John and I were the redshift 230 00:05:29,290 --> 00:05:29,300 John and I were the redshift 231 00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:33,010 John and I were the redshift back into the bus operators with borneo 232 00:05:33,010 --> 00:05:33,020 back into the bus operators with borneo 233 00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:35,619 back into the bus operators with borneo in the front and we would do a borneo 234 00:05:35,619 --> 00:05:35,629 in the front and we would do a borneo 235 00:05:35,629 --> 00:05:37,360 in the front and we would do a borneo would do a maneuver of the orbiter john 236 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:37,370 would do a maneuver of the orbiter john 237 00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:40,360 would do a maneuver of the orbiter john would maneuver the IPS to the correct 238 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:40,370 would maneuver the IPS to the correct 239 00:05:40,370 --> 00:05:42,999 would maneuver the IPS to the correct attitude and turned the manual pointing 240 00:05:42,999 --> 00:05:43,009 attitude and turned the manual pointing 241 00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:44,950 attitude and turned the manual pointing controller over to me after the IPS 242 00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:44,960 controller over to me after the IPS 243 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,029 controller over to me after the IPS maneuver was done and I would do the the 244 00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:49,039 maneuver was done and I would do the the 245 00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:52,540 maneuver was done and I would do the the target acquisition on the CCTV displays 246 00:05:52,540 --> 00:05:52,550 target acquisition on the CCTV displays 247 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:55,930 target acquisition on the CCTV displays and the telescope's would be set off on 248 00:05:55,930 --> 00:05:55,940 and the telescope's would be set off on 249 00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:59,200 and the telescope's would be set off on their way observing the the object and 250 00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:59,210 their way observing the the object and 251 00:05:59,210 --> 00:06:01,960 their way observing the the object and here again you see the CCTV displays 252 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:01,970 here again you see the CCTV displays 253 00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:03,580 here again you see the CCTV displays that we had on board to make sure we had 254 00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:03,590 that we had on board to make sure we had 255 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:08,800 that we had on board to make sure we had the right target all the scientists on 256 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:08,810 the right target all the scientists on 257 00:06:08,810 --> 00:06:09,969 the right target all the scientists on the ground and there was a huge team 258 00:06:09,969 --> 00:06:09,979 the ground and there was a huge team 259 00:06:09,979 --> 00:06:11,589 the ground and there was a huge team working at Marshall as well as all the 260 00:06:11,589 --> 00:06:11,599 working at Marshall as well as all the 261 00:06:11,599 --> 00:06:13,270 working at Marshall as well as all the folks here in Mission Control working 262 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:13,280 folks here in Mission Control working 263 00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,460 folks here in Mission Control working and here we see our alternate payload 264 00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:15,470 and here we see our alternate payload 265 00:06:15,470 --> 00:06:17,379 and here we see our alternate payload specialist Scott Hagen and we're in 266 00:06:17,379 --> 00:06:17,389 specialist Scott Hagen and we're in 267 00:06:17,389 --> 00:06:19,390 specialist Scott Hagen and we're in regular communication with the APS and 268 00:06:19,390 --> 00:06:19,400 regular communication with the APS and 269 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,159 regular communication with the APS and the other folks at Marshall working the 270 00:06:21,159 --> 00:06:21,169 the other folks at Marshall working the 271 00:06:21,169 --> 00:06:23,559 the other folks at Marshall working the telescopes every day they'd send us up a 272 00:06:23,559 --> 00:06:23,569 telescopes every day they'd send us up a 273 00:06:23,569 --> 00:06:28,180 telescopes every day they'd send us up a few pages of new information new targets 274 00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:28,190 few pages of new information new targets 275 00:06:28,190 --> 00:06:30,010 few pages of new information new targets and and target procedures and also all 276 00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:30,020 and and target procedures and also all 277 00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:32,200 and and target procedures and also all the orbiter procedures and information 278 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:32,210 the orbiter procedures and information 279 00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:34,540 the orbiter procedures and information and so that was part of our duties on 280 00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:34,550 and so that was part of our duties on 281 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:36,129 and so that was part of our duties on board to incorporate that into the 282 00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:36,139 board to incorporate that into the 283 00:06:36,139 --> 00:06:38,260 board to incorporate that into the rolodex and that can be helping me out 284 00:06:38,260 --> 00:06:38,270 rolodex and that can be helping me out 285 00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:41,260 rolodex and that can be helping me out there that was a part of our daily 286 00:06:41,260 --> 00:06:41,270 there that was a part of our daily 287 00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:44,589 there that was a part of our daily activities we also had as I mentioned 288 00:06:44,589 --> 00:06:44,599 activities we also had as I mentioned 289 00:06:44,599 --> 00:06:46,180 activities we also had as I mentioned the mid-deck active control experiment 290 00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:46,190 the mid-deck active control experiment 291 00:06:46,190 --> 00:06:49,360 the mid-deck active control experiment and here you see it with the disturbance 292 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:49,370 and here you see it with the disturbance 293 00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:50,709 and here you see it with the disturbance at the far end on the right there 294 00:06:50,709 --> 00:06:50,719 at the far end on the right there 295 00:06:50,719 --> 00:06:52,180 at the far end on the right there disturbing the whole structure and 296 00:06:52,180 --> 00:06:52,190 disturbing the whole structure and 297 00:06:52,190 --> 00:06:53,409 disturbing the whole structure and that's free-floating or near 298 00:06:53,409 --> 00:06:53,419 that's free-floating or near 299 00:06:53,419 --> 00:06:54,610 that's free-floating or near free-floating the mid-deck 300 00:06:54,610 --> 00:06:54,620 free-floating the mid-deck 301 00:06:54,620 --> 00:06:55,899 free-floating the mid-deck and in just a second you'll see the 302 00:06:55,899 --> 00:06:55,909 and in just a second you'll see the 303 00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:57,820 and in just a second you'll see the control take over and the left-hand 304 00:06:57,820 --> 00:06:57,830 control take over and the left-hand 305 00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:59,740 control take over and the left-hand gimble suddenly locks in even though the 306 00:06:59,740 --> 00:06:59,750 gimble suddenly locks in even though the 307 00:06:59,750 --> 00:07:01,779 gimble suddenly locks in even though the right hand is still disturbing and this 308 00:07:01,779 --> 00:07:01,789 right hand is still disturbing and this 309 00:07:01,789 --> 00:07:02,980 right hand is still disturbing and this was the way it worked most of the time 310 00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:02,990 was the way it worked most of the time 311 00:07:02,990 --> 00:07:05,830 was the way it worked most of the time quite well here's a case where the left 312 00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:05,840 quite well here's a case where the left 313 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,059 quite well here's a case where the left hand side is supposed to be pointing 314 00:07:07,059 --> 00:07:07,069 hand side is supposed to be pointing 315 00:07:07,069 --> 00:07:09,640 hand side is supposed to be pointing inertia lis in space but obviously this 316 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:09,650 inertia lis in space but obviously this 317 00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:13,209 inertia lis in space but obviously this is a oscillatory divergent case where 318 00:07:13,209 --> 00:07:13,219 is a oscillatory divergent case where 319 00:07:13,219 --> 00:07:14,709 is a oscillatory divergent case where the control wasn't quite enough and you 320 00:07:14,709 --> 00:07:14,719 the control wasn't quite enough and you 321 00:07:14,719 --> 00:07:16,120 the control wasn't quite enough and you wouldn't if this were a space station I 322 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:16,130 wouldn't if this were a space station I 323 00:07:16,130 --> 00:07:18,540 wouldn't if this were a space station I don't think you'd want to be aboard 324 00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:18,550 don't think you'd want to be aboard 325 00:07:18,550 --> 00:07:21,119 don't think you'd want to be aboard and these were fun to watch but by far 326 00:07:21,119 --> 00:07:21,129 and these were fun to watch but by far 327 00:07:21,129 --> 00:07:22,680 and these were fun to watch but by far the minority and this was just a great 328 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:22,690 the minority and this was just a great 329 00:07:22,690 --> 00:07:24,510 the minority and this was just a great interactive experiment as you can see by 330 00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:24,520 interactive experiment as you can see by 331 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,879 interactive experiment as you can see by the expression on our commander's face 332 00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:26,889 the expression on our commander's face 333 00:07:26,889 --> 00:07:30,020 the expression on our commander's face and corneal build to the left 334 00:07:30,020 --> 00:07:30,030 and corneal build to the left 335 00:07:30,030 --> 00:07:31,740 and corneal build to the left fortunately the other mid-deck 336 00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:31,750 fortunately the other mid-deck 337 00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:33,779 fortunately the other mid-deck experiments were rather benign we just 338 00:07:33,779 --> 00:07:33,789 experiments were rather benign we just 339 00:07:33,789 --> 00:07:35,159 experiments were rather benign we just spent most of our time cleaning the 340 00:07:35,159 --> 00:07:35,169 spent most of our time cleaning the 341 00:07:35,169 --> 00:07:36,689 spent most of our time cleaning the filters on the protein crystal growth 342 00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:36,699 filters on the protein crystal growth 343 00:07:36,699 --> 00:07:38,999 filters on the protein crystal growth experiments you can see John here 344 00:07:38,999 --> 00:07:39,009 experiments you can see John here 345 00:07:39,009 --> 00:07:41,540 experiments you can see John here participating in a medical DSO that was 346 00:07:41,540 --> 00:07:41,550 participating in a medical DSO that was 347 00:07:41,550 --> 00:07:44,249 participating in a medical DSO that was determining the function of the eyes and 348 00:07:44,249 --> 00:07:44,259 determining the function of the eyes and 349 00:07:44,259 --> 00:07:46,740 determining the function of the eyes and the head your gaze on orbit 350 00:07:46,740 --> 00:07:46,750 the head your gaze on orbit 351 00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:48,839 the head your gaze on orbit he's definitely wired for sound in this 352 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:48,849 he's definitely wired for sound in this 353 00:07:48,849 --> 00:07:52,050 he's definitely wired for sound in this scene and again dr. SAR x also known as 354 00:07:52,050 --> 00:07:52,060 scene and again dr. SAR x also known as 355 00:07:52,060 --> 00:07:55,230 scene and again dr. SAR x also known as ron talking to with with one of the many 356 00:07:55,230 --> 00:07:55,240 ron talking to with with one of the many 357 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,600 ron talking to with with one of the many school contacts we spoke to schools 358 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:57,610 school contacts we spoke to schools 359 00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,670 school contacts we spoke to schools literally around the world India South 360 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:59,680 literally around the world India South 361 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,999 literally around the world India South Africa as well as throughout the United 362 00:08:02,999 --> 00:08:03,009 Africa as well as throughout the United 363 00:08:03,009 --> 00:08:04,980 Africa as well as throughout the United States that was really again as John 364 00:08:04,980 --> 00:08:04,990 States that was really again as John 365 00:08:04,990 --> 00:08:06,749 States that was really again as John said one of the more enjoyable aspects 366 00:08:06,749 --> 00:08:06,759 said one of the more enjoyable aspects 367 00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:08,969 said one of the more enjoyable aspects and of course we'd had to include bill 368 00:08:08,969 --> 00:08:08,979 and of course we'd had to include bill 369 00:08:08,979 --> 00:08:11,939 and of course we'd had to include bill on the bike he had to arm wrestle the 370 00:08:11,939 --> 00:08:11,949 on the bike he had to arm wrestle the 371 00:08:11,949 --> 00:08:13,379 on the bike he had to arm wrestle the rest of us for time though he didn't 372 00:08:13,379 --> 00:08:13,389 rest of us for time though he didn't 373 00:08:13,389 --> 00:08:15,029 rest of us for time though he didn't live on the bike we actually made him 374 00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:15,039 live on the bike we actually made him 375 00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:17,070 live on the bike we actually made him work but as I said before it was a great 376 00:08:17,070 --> 00:08:17,080 work but as I said before it was a great 377 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,930 work but as I said before it was a great way to get some exercise and relax while 378 00:08:18,930 --> 00:08:18,940 way to get some exercise and relax while 379 00:08:18,940 --> 00:08:20,420 way to get some exercise and relax while you're on orbit 380 00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:20,430 you're on orbit 381 00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:23,370 you're on orbit well that exercise is likely to make 382 00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:23,380 well that exercise is likely to make 383 00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:25,050 well that exercise is likely to make anybody hungry and some of us were 384 00:08:25,050 --> 00:08:25,060 anybody hungry and some of us were 385 00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:27,510 anybody hungry and some of us were hungrier than others so we see Borneo 386 00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:27,520 hungrier than others so we see Borneo 387 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,149 hungrier than others so we see Borneo here was first in line at the galley the 388 00:08:30,149 --> 00:08:30,159 here was first in line at the galley the 389 00:08:30,159 --> 00:08:32,040 here was first in line at the galley the red shift usually had dinner together we 390 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,050 red shift usually had dinner together we 391 00:08:32,050 --> 00:08:34,440 red shift usually had dinner together we usually had a cocktail hour first where 392 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:34,450 usually had a cocktail hour first where 393 00:08:34,450 --> 00:08:36,300 usually had a cocktail hour first where we all had a shrimp cocktail or here you 394 00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:36,310 we all had a shrimp cocktail or here you 395 00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:40,290 we all had a shrimp cocktail or here you see a blue shift person coming in here 396 00:08:40,290 --> 00:08:40,300 see a blue shift person coming in here 397 00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:41,579 see a blue shift person coming in here probably didn't have enough breakfast 398 00:08:41,579 --> 00:08:41,589 probably didn't have enough breakfast 399 00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:45,750 probably didn't have enough breakfast trying to get somebody's food away from 400 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:45,760 trying to get somebody's food away from 401 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,880 trying to get somebody's food away from them and of course playing with food you 402 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:47,890 them and of course playing with food you 403 00:08:47,890 --> 00:08:50,880 them and of course playing with food you know no matter how often your mom tell 404 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:50,890 know no matter how often your mom tell 405 00:08:50,890 --> 00:08:52,740 know no matter how often your mom tell told you not to play with your food it's 406 00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:52,750 told you not to play with your food it's 407 00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:55,340 told you not to play with your food it's just impossible not to do that in space 408 00:08:55,340 --> 00:08:55,350 just impossible not to do that in space 409 00:08:55,350 --> 00:09:00,840 just impossible not to do that in space and you see Tammy here with fluid 410 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:00,850 and you see Tammy here with fluid 411 00:09:00,850 --> 00:09:03,690 and you see Tammy here with fluid physics experiment some tropical punch 412 00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:03,700 physics experiment some tropical punch 413 00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:05,400 physics experiment some tropical punch floating free in the mid-deck which he 414 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:05,410 floating free in the mid-deck which he 415 00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:10,500 floating free in the mid-deck which he was able to vacuum up posthaste and of 416 00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:10,510 was able to vacuum up posthaste and of 417 00:09:10,510 --> 00:09:12,630 was able to vacuum up posthaste and of course we don't have a shower on board 418 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:12,640 course we don't have a shower on board 419 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,019 course we don't have a shower on board and that's the best you can do earth 420 00:09:16,019 --> 00:09:16,029 and that's the best you can do earth 421 00:09:16,029 --> 00:09:17,670 and that's the best you can do earth observations as we said was one of the 422 00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:17,680 observations as we said was one of the 423 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:19,470 observations as we said was one of the more enjoyable things to do and also an 424 00:09:19,470 --> 00:09:19,480 more enjoyable things to do and also an 425 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,519 more enjoyable things to do and also an important part of the shuttle program 426 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:20,529 important part of the shuttle program 427 00:09:20,529 --> 00:09:23,730 important part of the shuttle program and here's Wendy's famous barren island 428 00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:23,740 and here's Wendy's famous barren island 429 00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:27,960 and here's Wendy's famous barren island volcano in the Andaman Islands and that 430 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:27,970 volcano in the Andaman Islands and that 431 00:09:27,970 --> 00:09:29,189 volcano in the Andaman Islands and that was neat to look for that kind of stuff 432 00:09:29,189 --> 00:09:29,199 was neat to look for that kind of stuff 433 00:09:29,199 --> 00:09:29,929 was neat to look for that kind of stuff that was 434 00:09:29,929 --> 00:09:29,939 that was 435 00:09:29,939 --> 00:09:31,849 that was a great discovery for us to be able to 436 00:09:31,849 --> 00:09:31,859 a great discovery for us to be able to 437 00:09:31,859 --> 00:09:35,389 a great discovery for us to be able to report that to the ground again shark 438 00:09:35,389 --> 00:09:35,399 report that to the ground again shark 439 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:38,059 report that to the ground again shark Bay this is a larger view of it and from 440 00:09:38,059 --> 00:09:38,069 Bay this is a larger view of it and from 441 00:09:38,069 --> 00:09:39,769 Bay this is a larger view of it and from day to day we could see variations both 442 00:09:39,769 --> 00:09:39,779 day to day we could see variations both 443 00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:41,599 day to day we could see variations both due to tidal differences and also from 444 00:09:41,599 --> 00:09:41,609 due to tidal differences and also from 445 00:09:41,609 --> 00:09:43,969 due to tidal differences and also from the rain in Australia this is looking 446 00:09:43,969 --> 00:09:43,979 the rain in Australia this is looking 447 00:09:43,979 --> 00:09:45,829 the rain in Australia this is looking towards the south up at the very left 448 00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:45,839 towards the south up at the very left 449 00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:48,799 towards the south up at the very left end of the picture is Adelaide and some 450 00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:48,809 end of the picture is Adelaide and some 451 00:09:48,809 --> 00:09:50,539 end of the picture is Adelaide and some of the dry Lakes in the airlock 452 00:09:50,539 --> 00:09:50,549 of the dry Lakes in the airlock 453 00:09:50,549 --> 00:09:53,089 of the dry Lakes in the airlock Lake Region and some of these also had 454 00:09:53,089 --> 00:09:53,099 Lake Region and some of these also had 455 00:09:53,099 --> 00:09:57,589 Lake Region and some of these also had water in and we had both color visible 456 00:09:57,589 --> 00:09:57,599 water in and we had both color visible 457 00:09:57,599 --> 00:09:59,960 water in and we had both color visible film and infrared film and we took 458 00:09:59,960 --> 00:09:59,970 film and infrared film and we took 459 00:09:59,970 --> 00:10:02,119 film and infrared film and we took sometimes pairs of pictures of the same 460 00:10:02,119 --> 00:10:02,129 sometimes pairs of pictures of the same 461 00:10:02,129 --> 00:10:04,819 sometimes pairs of pictures of the same region we also had an opportunity on a 462 00:10:04,819 --> 00:10:04,829 region we also had an opportunity on a 463 00:10:04,829 --> 00:10:06,379 region we also had an opportunity on a number of passes to see the Hawaiian 464 00:10:06,379 --> 00:10:06,389 number of passes to see the Hawaiian 465 00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:09,109 number of passes to see the Hawaiian Islands Tammie showed you the Oahu view 466 00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:09,119 Islands Tammie showed you the Oahu view 467 00:10:09,119 --> 00:10:12,079 Islands Tammie showed you the Oahu view here's a the Big Island of Hawaii and on 468 00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:12,089 here's a the Big Island of Hawaii and on 469 00:10:12,089 --> 00:10:14,059 here's a the Big Island of Hawaii and on the top of the picture there on the 470 00:10:14,059 --> 00:10:14,069 the top of the picture there on the 471 00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:15,499 the top of the picture there on the volcano or a number of NASA 472 00:10:15,499 --> 00:10:15,509 volcano or a number of NASA 473 00:10:15,509 --> 00:10:18,259 volcano or a number of NASA observatories that also do astronomy and 474 00:10:18,259 --> 00:10:18,269 observatories that also do astronomy and 475 00:10:18,269 --> 00:10:21,489 observatories that also do astronomy and we really enjoyed taking the pictures 476 00:10:21,489 --> 00:10:21,499 we really enjoyed taking the pictures 477 00:10:21,499 --> 00:10:24,019 we really enjoyed taking the pictures this is another beautiful view of a 478 00:10:24,019 --> 00:10:24,029 this is another beautiful view of a 479 00:10:24,029 --> 00:10:26,119 this is another beautiful view of a sunset on orbit it takes about 90 480 00:10:26,119 --> 00:10:26,129 sunset on orbit it takes about 90 481 00:10:26,129 --> 00:10:27,679 sunset on orbit it takes about 90 minutes to orbit the Earth and so one 482 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:27,689 minutes to orbit the Earth and so one 483 00:10:27,689 --> 00:10:29,749 minutes to orbit the Earth and so one gets to see a sunrise or sunset every 45 484 00:10:29,749 --> 00:10:29,759 gets to see a sunrise or sunset every 45 485 00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:33,499 gets to see a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes and this is one of the storms 486 00:10:33,499 --> 00:10:33,509 minutes and this is one of the storms 487 00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:35,089 minutes and this is one of the storms that we witnessed in the south-central 488 00:10:35,089 --> 00:10:35,099 that we witnessed in the south-central 489 00:10:35,099 --> 00:10:38,179 that we witnessed in the south-central United States you're looking North is at 490 00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:38,189 United States you're looking North is at 491 00:10:38,189 --> 00:10:40,429 United States you're looking North is at the top of the screen to the left you 492 00:10:40,429 --> 00:10:40,439 the top of the screen to the left you 493 00:10:40,439 --> 00:10:42,889 the top of the screen to the left you can see Louisiana all the way up to 494 00:10:42,889 --> 00:10:42,899 can see Louisiana all the way up to 495 00:10:42,899 --> 00:10:44,569 can see Louisiana all the way up to Atlanta actually and on the right hand 496 00:10:44,569 --> 00:10:44,579 Atlanta actually and on the right hand 497 00:10:44,579 --> 00:10:46,819 Atlanta actually and on the right hand side of course is Florida and it's a 498 00:10:46,819 --> 00:10:46,829 side of course is Florida and it's a 499 00:10:46,829 --> 00:10:49,009 side of course is Florida and it's a very graphic depiction of city lights 500 00:10:49,009 --> 00:10:49,019 very graphic depiction of city lights 501 00:10:49,019 --> 00:10:56,629 very graphic depiction of city lights and storm activity eventually we have to 502 00:10:56,629 --> 00:10:56,639 and storm activity eventually we have to 503 00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,699 and storm activity eventually we have to come back home this is a graphic 504 00:10:58,699 --> 00:10:58,709 come back home this is a graphic 505 00:10:58,709 --> 00:11:01,489 come back home this is a graphic visualization of the pilot dto you can 506 00:11:01,489 --> 00:11:01,499 visualization of the pilot dto you can 507 00:11:01,499 --> 00:11:04,489 visualization of the pilot dto you can see an actual approach here on the 508 00:11:04,489 --> 00:11:04,499 see an actual approach here on the 509 00:11:04,499 --> 00:11:06,759 see an actual approach here on the computer screen working with the 510 00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:06,769 computer screen working with the 511 00:11:06,769 --> 00:11:08,929 computer screen working with the controller which is mounted to the 512 00:11:08,929 --> 00:11:08,939 controller which is mounted to the 513 00:11:08,939 --> 00:11:11,389 controller which is mounted to the existing stick and the orbiter in 514 00:11:11,389 --> 00:11:11,399 existing stick and the orbiter in 515 00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,879 existing stick and the orbiter in addition to that prior to coming home we 516 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:13,889 addition to that prior to coming home we 517 00:11:13,889 --> 00:11:16,609 addition to that prior to coming home we went ahead and did a check on the flight 518 00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:16,619 went ahead and did a check on the flight 519 00:11:16,619 --> 00:11:18,979 went ahead and did a check on the flight control systems and what we do is we do 520 00:11:18,979 --> 00:11:18,989 control systems and what we do is we do 521 00:11:18,989 --> 00:11:21,589 control systems and what we do is we do a check of all the Jets and also the 522 00:11:21,589 --> 00:11:21,599 a check of all the Jets and also the 523 00:11:21,599 --> 00:11:23,239 a check of all the Jets and also the flight control surfaces to make sure 524 00:11:23,239 --> 00:11:23,249 flight control surfaces to make sure 525 00:11:23,249 --> 00:11:25,629 flight control surfaces to make sure that the orbiter does perform as 526 00:11:25,629 --> 00:11:25,639 that the orbiter does perform as 527 00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:29,269 that the orbiter does perform as advertised and here the three orbiter 528 00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:29,279 advertised and here the three orbiter 529 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:31,429 advertised and here the three orbiter folks Steve Wendy and myself are going 530 00:11:31,429 --> 00:11:31,439 folks Steve Wendy and myself are going 531 00:11:31,439 --> 00:11:32,629 folks Steve Wendy and myself are going through the flight control system 532 00:11:32,629 --> 00:11:32,639 through the flight control system 533 00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:34,699 through the flight control system checkout and you'll now see the Elavon 534 00:11:34,699 --> 00:11:34,709 checkout and you'll now see the Elavon 535 00:11:34,709 --> 00:11:36,079 checkout and you'll now see the Elavon moving in the background and you can 536 00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:36,089 moving in the background and you can 537 00:11:36,089 --> 00:11:38,059 moving in the background and you can really feel this just shake the vehicle 538 00:11:38,059 --> 00:11:38,069 really feel this just shake the vehicle 539 00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:39,889 really feel this just shake the vehicle as it slams back and forth against the 540 00:11:39,889 --> 00:11:39,899 as it slams back and forth against the 541 00:11:39,899 --> 00:11:43,829 as it slams back and forth against the hearts 542 00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:43,839 543 00:11:43,839 --> 00:11:47,290 and then the final step before we come 544 00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:47,300 and then the final step before we come 545 00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:50,079 and then the final step before we come home is to turn the orbiting observatory 546 00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:50,089 home is to turn the orbiting observatory 547 00:11:50,089 --> 00:11:53,139 home is to turn the orbiting observatory back into a flying machine and it gets 548 00:11:53,139 --> 00:11:53,149 back into a flying machine and it gets 549 00:11:53,149 --> 00:11:54,369 back into a flying machine and it gets kind of hectic there when we're trying 550 00:11:54,369 --> 00:11:54,379 kind of hectic there when we're trying 551 00:11:54,379 --> 00:11:57,579 kind of hectic there when we're trying to pack everything away and then put our 552 00:11:57,579 --> 00:11:57,589 to pack everything away and then put our 553 00:11:57,589 --> 00:11:59,650 to pack everything away and then put our launch and entry suits back on and get 554 00:11:59,650 --> 00:11:59,660 launch and entry suits back on and get 555 00:11:59,660 --> 00:12:04,749 launch and entry suits back on and get ready to re-enter here you see Ron and I 556 00:12:04,749 --> 00:12:04,759 ready to re-enter here you see Ron and I 557 00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:08,429 ready to re-enter here you see Ron and I and our suits are us logo they're 558 00:12:08,429 --> 00:12:08,439 and our suits are us logo they're 559 00:12:08,439 --> 00:12:18,080 and our suits are us logo they're putting Borneo in his suit 560 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,090 561 00:12:18,090 --> 00:12:20,480 once that's done and just before we do 562 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:20,490 once that's done and just before we do 563 00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:23,890 once that's done and just before we do orbit we close the payload bay doors and 564 00:12:23,890 --> 00:12:23,900 orbit we close the payload bay doors and 565 00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:26,630 orbit we close the payload bay doors and seal the payload Bay so that we can 566 00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:26,640 seal the payload Bay so that we can 567 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:41,980 seal the payload Bay so that we can re-enter the Earth's atmosphere 568 00:12:41,980 --> 00:12:41,990 569 00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:43,449 as you're probably aware we were 570 00:12:43,449 --> 00:12:43,459 as you're probably aware we were 571 00:12:43,459 --> 00:12:46,240 as you're probably aware we were originally scheduled to land at Kennedy 572 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:46,250 originally scheduled to land at Kennedy 573 00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:50,019 originally scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center on the 17th of March which 574 00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:50,029 Space Center on the 17th of March which 575 00:12:50,029 --> 00:12:51,400 Space Center on the 17th of March which would have been 15 and a half days on 576 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:51,410 would have been 15 and a half days on 577 00:12:51,410 --> 00:12:53,650 would have been 15 and a half days on orbit unfortunately the weather and in 578 00:12:53,650 --> 00:12:53,660 orbit unfortunately the weather and in 579 00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:55,840 orbit unfortunately the weather and in Florida didn't accommodate that landing 580 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:55,850 Florida didn't accommodate that landing 581 00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:58,990 Florida didn't accommodate that landing so we put the telescope away I never did 582 00:12:58,990 --> 00:12:59,000 so we put the telescope away I never did 583 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,610 so we put the telescope away I never did actually close the doors the Mission 584 00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:00,620 actually close the doors the Mission 585 00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:02,230 actually close the doors the Mission Control Center folks never put us in the 586 00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:02,240 Control Center folks never put us in the 587 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,180 Control Center folks never put us in the suits because of weather was was so bad 588 00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:04,190 suits because of weather was was so bad 589 00:13:04,190 --> 00:13:05,350 suits because of weather was was so bad we didn't they didn't think that we had 590 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:05,360 we didn't they didn't think that we had 591 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,500 we didn't they didn't think that we had a chance at it the next day Saturday the 592 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:08,510 a chance at it the next day Saturday the 593 00:13:08,510 --> 00:13:11,710 a chance at it the next day Saturday the 18th we made one look at the Kennedy 594 00:13:11,710 --> 00:13:11,720 18th we made one look at the Kennedy 595 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,690 18th we made one look at the Kennedy Space Center waved off on the first Rev 596 00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:13,700 Space Center waved off on the first Rev 597 00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:16,210 Space Center waved off on the first Rev and went ahead and burned to Edwards Air 598 00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:16,220 and went ahead and burned to Edwards Air 599 00:13:16,220 --> 00:13:18,190 and went ahead and burned to Edwards Air Force Base on the second deorbit 600 00:13:18,190 --> 00:13:18,200 Force Base on the second deorbit 601 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,620 Force Base on the second deorbit opportunity on the 18th there you can 602 00:13:20,620 --> 00:13:20,630 opportunity on the 18th there you can 603 00:13:20,630 --> 00:13:22,750 opportunity on the 18th there you can see the hack we're on final now and to 604 00:13:22,750 --> 00:13:22,760 see the hack we're on final now and to 605 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,780 see the hack we're on final now and to runway two two at Edwards and the winds 606 00:13:25,780 --> 00:13:25,790 runway two two at Edwards and the winds 607 00:13:25,790 --> 00:13:28,420 runway two two at Edwards and the winds were a little bit gusty at Edwards you 608 00:13:28,420 --> 00:13:28,430 were a little bit gusty at Edwards you 609 00:13:28,430 --> 00:13:29,920 were a little bit gusty at Edwards you can see a little bit of the dust coming 610 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:29,930 can see a little bit of the dust coming 611 00:13:29,930 --> 00:13:32,290 can see a little bit of the dust coming off the lake beds but but there wasn't 612 00:13:32,290 --> 00:13:32,300 off the lake beds but but there wasn't 613 00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:33,699 off the lake beds but but there wasn't an appreciable amount of turbulence we 614 00:13:33,699 --> 00:13:33,709 an appreciable amount of turbulence we 615 00:13:33,709 --> 00:13:35,769 an appreciable amount of turbulence we could feel a little bit of turbulence on 616 00:13:35,769 --> 00:13:35,779 could feel a little bit of turbulence on 617 00:13:35,779 --> 00:13:38,800 could feel a little bit of turbulence on final and the right to left crosswind 618 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:38,810 final and the right to left crosswind 619 00:13:38,810 --> 00:13:40,810 final and the right to left crosswind was definitely noticeable but nothing 620 00:13:40,810 --> 00:13:40,820 was definitely noticeable but nothing 621 00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,610 was definitely noticeable but nothing that wasn't well within the performance 622 00:13:42,610 --> 00:13:42,620 that wasn't well within the performance 623 00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:45,310 that wasn't well within the performance capabilities of the orbiter and for 624 00:13:45,310 --> 00:13:45,320 capabilities of the orbiter and for 625 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,990 capabilities of the orbiter and for those of us that have flown before 626 00:13:46,990 --> 00:13:47,000 those of us that have flown before 627 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,660 those of us that have flown before there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of 628 00:13:49,660 --> 00:13:49,670 there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of 629 00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:52,180 there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of difference between an eight day to ten 630 00:13:52,180 --> 00:13:52,190 difference between an eight day to ten 631 00:13:52,190 --> 00:13:55,690 difference between an eight day to ten day flight in a 17 day flight so if 632 00:13:55,690 --> 00:13:55,700 day flight in a 17 day flight so if 633 00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:57,819 day flight in a 17 day flight so if there is a limit on the amount of time 634 00:13:57,819 --> 00:13:57,829 there is a limit on the amount of time 635 00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:59,319 there is a limit on the amount of time that people can go to space and come 636 00:13:59,319 --> 00:13:59,329 that people can go to space and come 637 00:13:59,329 --> 00:14:00,880 that people can go to space and come back and land in orbiter we don't think 638 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:00,890 back and land in orbiter we don't think 639 00:14:00,890 --> 00:14:03,850 back and land in orbiter we don't think it's at the 17 day point it was a 640 00:14:03,850 --> 00:14:03,860 it's at the 17 day point it was a 641 00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:07,180 it's at the 17 day point it was a wonderful flight we had an orbiter that 642 00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:07,190 wonderful flight we had an orbiter that 643 00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:09,150 wonderful flight we had an orbiter that gave us virtually no problems whatsoever 644 00:14:09,150 --> 00:14:09,160 gave us virtually no problems whatsoever 645 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,490 gave us virtually no problems whatsoever the folks down at Kennedy Space Center 646 00:14:11,490 --> 00:14:11,500 the folks down at Kennedy Space Center 647 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:14,500 the folks down at Kennedy Space Center should be very very proud of the orbiter 648 00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:14,510 should be very very proud of the orbiter 649 00:14:14,510 --> 00:14:16,420 should be very very proud of the orbiter that they gave us we hope that we gave 650 00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:16,430 that they gave us we hope that we gave 651 00:14:16,430 --> 00:14:18,430 that they gave us we hope that we gave it back in pretty good shape to them so 652 00:14:18,430 --> 00:14:18,440 it back in pretty good shape to them so 653 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,420 it back in pretty good shape to them so that they can turn it around for the 654 00:14:19,420 --> 00:14:19,430 that they can turn it around for the 655 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:22,090 that they can turn it around for the next bunch of folks that go fly it it 656 00:14:22,090 --> 00:14:22,100 next bunch of folks that go fly it it 657 00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:24,130 next bunch of folks that go fly it it was a tremendous adventure for us we 658 00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:24,140 was a tremendous adventure for us we 659 00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:27,850 was a tremendous adventure for us we were very pleased with the results I had 660 00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:27,860 were very pleased with the results I had 661 00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:30,010 were very pleased with the results I had a tremendous group of people to go fly 662 00:14:30,010 --> 00:14:30,020 a tremendous group of people to go fly 663 00:14:30,020 --> 00:14:32,530 a tremendous group of people to go fly with exceptionally talented a group of 664 00:14:32,530 --> 00:14:32,540 with exceptionally talented a group of 665 00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:35,199 with exceptionally talented a group of folks and so if we could if we just go 666 00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:35,209 folks and so if we could if we just go 667 00:14:35,209 --> 00:14:37,840 folks and so if we could if we just go ahead and start the slides now okay as 668 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:37,850 ahead and start the slides now okay as 669 00:14:37,850 --> 00:14:39,550 ahead and start the slides now okay as is traditional the rookies are pretty 670 00:14:39,550 --> 00:14:39,560 is traditional the rookies are pretty 671 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,260 is traditional the rookies are pretty much responsible for the crew patch and 672 00:14:41,260 --> 00:14:41,270 much responsible for the crew patch and 673 00:14:41,270 --> 00:14:42,910 much responsible for the crew patch and we think that they did just a great job 674 00:14:42,910 --> 00:14:42,920 we think that they did just a great job 675 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,710 we think that they did just a great job pretty well tells the story of the 676 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:44,720 pretty well tells the story of the 677 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,350 pretty well tells the story of the mission has the telescope's which 678 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:47,360 mission has the telescope's which 679 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,910 mission has the telescope's which operated of course in the ultraviolet 680 00:14:48,910 --> 00:14:48,920 operated of course in the ultraviolet 681 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,800 operated of course in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum three different 682 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:50,810 part of the spectrum three different 683 00:14:50,810 --> 00:14:52,150 part of the spectrum three different instruments from the payload Bay that 684 00:14:52,150 --> 00:14:52,160 instruments from the payload Bay that 685 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,690 instruments from the payload Bay that the science guys will tell you about 686 00:14:53,690 --> 00:14:53,700 the science guys will tell you about 687 00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:58,250 the science guys will tell you about in more detail later but we we launched 688 00:14:58,250 --> 00:14:58,260 in more detail later but we we launched 689 00:14:58,260 --> 00:15:00,290 in more detail later but we we launched on the 2nd of March we really didn't 690 00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:00,300 on the 2nd of March we really didn't 691 00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:01,880 on the 2nd of March we really didn't think we were going to do that with the 692 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:01,890 think we were going to do that with the 693 00:15:01,890 --> 00:15:04,550 think we were going to do that with the weather as it was when we got down there 694 00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:04,560 weather as it was when we got down there 695 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,460 weather as it was when we got down there I was a night launch primarily because 696 00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:07,470 I was a night launch primarily because 697 00:15:07,470 --> 00:15:11,330 I was a night launch primarily because we were attempting to maximize the 698 00:15:11,330 --> 00:15:11,340 we were attempting to maximize the 699 00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:12,770 we were attempting to maximize the amount of observing time and as it 700 00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:12,780 amount of observing time and as it 701 00:15:12,780 --> 00:15:14,210 amount of observing time and as it turned out launching in the middle of 702 00:15:14,210 --> 00:15:14,220 turned out launching in the middle of 703 00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:16,730 turned out launching in the middle of the night minimized the amount of time 704 00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:16,740 the night minimized the amount of time 705 00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:18,200 the night minimized the amount of time that we were going to be in the South 706 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:18,210 that we were going to be in the South 707 00:15:18,210 --> 00:15:20,870 that we were going to be in the South Atlantic anomaly during the night time 708 00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:20,880 Atlantic anomaly during the night time 709 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,560 Atlantic anomaly during the night time passes so we went to the program the 710 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:24,570 passes so we went to the program the 711 00:15:24,570 --> 00:15:27,320 passes so we went to the program the science guys did along with payload 712 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:27,330 science guys did along with payload 713 00:15:27,330 --> 00:15:29,330 science guys did along with payload commander Tammy Jernigan and made the 714 00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:29,340 commander Tammy Jernigan and made the 715 00:15:29,340 --> 00:15:30,680 commander Tammy Jernigan and made the case for launching in the middle of the 716 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:30,690 case for launching in the middle of the 717 00:15:30,690 --> 00:15:32,750 case for launching in the middle of the night and we did that we launched a 137 718 00:15:32,750 --> 00:15:32,760 night and we did that we launched a 137 719 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,490 night and we did that we launched a 137 eastern time I guess we're a minute late 720 00:15:34,490 --> 00:15:34,500 eastern time I guess we're a minute late 721 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,190 eastern time I guess we're a minute late 138 Eastern Time on the 17th and I can 722 00:15:37,190 --> 00:15:37,200 138 Eastern Time on the 17th and I can 723 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,680 138 Eastern Time on the 17th and I can tell you what or the second it's my 724 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:39,690 tell you what or the second it's my 725 00:15:39,690 --> 00:15:43,640 tell you what or the second it's my second night launch and day launches are 726 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:43,650 second night launch and day launches are 727 00:15:43,650 --> 00:15:45,200 second night launch and day launches are impressive night launches are really 728 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:45,210 impressive night launches are really 729 00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:46,580 impressive night launches are really something it gets to be no kid in broad 730 00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:46,590 something it gets to be no kid in broad 731 00:15:46,590 --> 00:15:49,250 something it gets to be no kid in broad daylight down there at Kennedy Space 732 00:15:49,250 --> 00:15:49,260 daylight down there at Kennedy Space 733 00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:53,770 daylight down there at Kennedy Space Center for just a little while although 734 00:15:53,770 --> 00:15:53,780 Center for just a little while although 735 00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:56,960 Center for just a little while although Astro is sometimes talked about as an 736 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:56,970 Astro is sometimes talked about as an 737 00:15:56,970 --> 00:15:58,780 Astro is sometimes talked about as an individual payload there are actually 738 00:15:58,780 --> 00:15:58,790 individual payload there are actually 739 00:15:58,790 --> 00:16:01,520 individual payload there are actually more than one instrument that come 740 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:01,530 more than one instrument that come 741 00:16:01,530 --> 00:16:04,220 more than one instrument that come together to to make the observatory 742 00:16:04,220 --> 00:16:04,230 together to to make the observatory 743 00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:06,790 together to to make the observatory itself and in this picture we see 744 00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:06,800 itself and in this picture we see 745 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,380 itself and in this picture we see starting from the left the long conical 746 00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:11,390 starting from the left the long conical 747 00:16:11,390 --> 00:16:13,670 starting from the left the long conical sunshade you see there is actually part 748 00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:13,680 sunshade you see there is actually part 749 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,790 sunshade you see there is actually part of a star tracker that we use for 750 00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:15,800 of a star tracker that we use for 751 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,640 of a star tracker that we use for correcting image motion that are created 752 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:19,650 correcting image motion that are created 753 00:16:19,650 --> 00:16:23,330 correcting image motion that are created by disturbances in the orbiter just to 754 00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:23,340 by disturbances in the orbiter just to 755 00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:24,980 by disturbances in the orbiter just to the right of that that you can see sort 756 00:16:24,980 --> 00:16:24,990 the right of that that you can see sort 757 00:16:24,990 --> 00:16:26,660 the right of that that you can see sort of in the back is the ultraviolet 758 00:16:26,660 --> 00:16:26,670 of in the back is the ultraviolet 759 00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:30,470 of in the back is the ultraviolet imaging telescope which actually takes 760 00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:30,480 imaging telescope which actually takes 761 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,110 imaging telescope which actually takes images of ultraviolet objects and it's 762 00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:33,120 images of ultraviolet objects and it's 763 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,090 images of ultraviolet objects and it's it was built at Goddard Space Flight 764 00:16:35,090 --> 00:16:35,100 it was built at Goddard Space Flight 765 00:16:35,100

00:18:14,399 --> 00:18:17,909 or in Australia and so this picture has special significance to us and in fact 834 00:18:17,909 --> 00:18:17,919 special significance to us and in fact 835 00:18:17,919 --> 00:18:20,730 special significance to us and in fact the last time I flew an aster one as we 836 00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:20,740 the last time I flew an aster one as we 837 00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:22,980 the last time I flew an aster one as we were flying over like this some people I 838 00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:22,990 were flying over like this some people I 839 00:18:22,990 --> 00:18:24,299 were flying over like this some people I was working with were down here making 840 00:18:24,299 --> 00:18:24,309 was working with were down here making 841 00:18:24,309 --> 00:18:30,509 was working with were down here making observations in Chile okay this is where 842 00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:30,519 observations in Chile okay this is where 843 00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:34,710 observations in Chile okay this is where I this has got both of the orbital 844 00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:34,720 I this has got both of the orbital 845 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,490 I this has got both of the orbital pilots here 846 00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:35,500 pilots here 847 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:37,259 pilots here Wendy Lawrence on the left of course 848 00:18:37,259 --> 00:18:37,269 Wendy Lawrence on the left of course 849 00:18:37,269 --> 00:18:40,889 Wendy Lawrence on the left of course then bill Gregory on the right and those 850 00:18:40,889 --> 00:18:40,899 then bill Gregory on the right and those 851 00:18:40,899 --> 00:18:42,330 then bill Gregory on the right and those two folks were on different ships we're 852 00:18:42,330 --> 00:18:42,340 two folks were on different ships we're 853 00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:44,340 two folks were on different ships we're divided up and do into two shifts and 854 00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:44,350 divided up and do into two shifts and 855 00:18:44,350 --> 00:18:46,259 divided up and do into two shifts and ran 24-hour operations onboard the 856 00:18:46,259 --> 00:18:46,269 ran 24-hour operations onboard the 857 00:18:46,269 --> 00:18:48,779 ran 24-hour operations onboard the orbiter for all 17 days that we were 858 00:18:48,779 --> 00:18:48,789 orbiter for all 17 days that we were 859 00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:53,100 orbiter for all 17 days that we were flying and Wendy was the blue shift 860 00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:53,110 flying and Wendy was the blue shift 861 00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:56,519 flying and Wendy was the blue shift pilot she was ran basically all of the 862 00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:56,529 pilot she was ran basically all of the 863 00:18:56,529 --> 00:18:59,070 pilot she was ran basically all of the orbital maneuvers that we did we had 864 00:18:59,070 --> 00:18:59,080 orbital maneuvers that we did we had 865 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,879 orbital maneuvers that we did we had over 377 maneuvers that supported the 866 00:19:02,879 --> 00:19:02,889 over 377 maneuvers that supported the 867 00:19:02,889 --> 00:19:05,549 over 377 maneuvers that supported the payload just a little over 400 maneuvers 868 00:19:05,549 --> 00:19:05,559 payload just a little over 400 maneuvers 869 00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:07,220 payload just a little over 400 maneuvers all told for the flight 870 00:19:07,220 --> 00:19:07,230 all told for the flight 871 00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:09,899 all told for the flight Wendy basically loaded every single one 872 00:19:09,899 --> 00:19:09,909 Wendy basically loaded every single one 873 00:19:09,909 --> 00:19:12,090 Wendy basically loaded every single one of those on the blue shift bill did all 874 00:19:12,090 --> 00:19:12,100 of those on the blue shift bill did all 875 00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:13,470 of those on the blue shift bill did all of them except for a few that I managed 876 00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:13,480 of them except for a few that I managed 877 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,970 of them except for a few that I managed to screw up on the red shift and 878 00:19:15,970 --> 00:19:15,980 to screw up on the red shift and 879 00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:19,660 to screw up on the red shift and and and they did an awesome job not only 880 00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:19,670 and and they did an awesome job not only 881 00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:21,940 and and they did an awesome job not only of keeping track of the attitude 882 00:19:21,940 --> 00:19:21,950 of keeping track of the attitude 883 00:19:21,950 --> 00:19:23,650 of keeping track of the attitude timeline to make sure that the orbiter 884 00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:23,660 timeline to make sure that the orbiter 885 00:19:23,660 --> 00:19:26,110 timeline to make sure that the orbiter was maneuvered properly to support the 886 00:19:26,110 --> 00:19:26,120 was maneuvered properly to support the 887 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:27,670 was maneuvered properly to support the observation is that the science folks 888 00:19:27,670 --> 00:19:27,680 observation is that the science folks 889 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,920 observation is that the science folks wanted to make with the telescopes but 890 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:29,930 wanted to make with the telescopes but 891 00:19:29,930 --> 00:19:31,620 wanted to make with the telescopes but also just in keeping the orbiter clean 892 00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:31,630 also just in keeping the orbiter clean 893 00:19:31,630 --> 00:19:34,540 also just in keeping the orbiter clean doing all the things for the system's 894 00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:34,550 doing all the things for the system's 895 00:19:34,550 --> 00:19:37,390 doing all the things for the system's the flash evaporator systems the 896 00:19:37,390 --> 00:19:37,400 the flash evaporator systems the 897 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,220 the flash evaporator systems the wastewater dumps all those kinds of 898 00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:39,230 wastewater dumps all those kinds of 899 00:19:39,230 --> 00:19:41,350 wastewater dumps all those kinds of things that you need to do in order to 900 00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:41,360 things that you need to do in order to 901 00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:43,810 things that you need to do in order to keep the orbiter up and running to 902 00:19:43,810 --> 00:19:43,820 keep the orbiter up and running to 903 00:19:43,820 --> 00:19:45,490 keep the orbiter up and running to support science operations these guys 904 00:19:45,490 --> 00:19:45,500 support science operations these guys 905 00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:51,670 support science operations these guys were doing one on each shift Tammy 906 00:19:51,670 --> 00:19:51,680 were doing one on each shift Tammy 907 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,490 were doing one on each shift Tammy Jernigan was the payload commander for 908 00:19:54,490 --> 00:19:54,500 Jernigan was the payload commander for 909 00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:55,570 Jernigan was the payload commander for that matter still is the payload 910 00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:55,580 that matter still is the payload 911 00:19:55,580 --> 00:19:56,950 that matter still is the payload commander until we managed to get the 912 00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:56,960 commander until we managed to get the 913 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,990 commander until we managed to get the flight report written and and she was 914 00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:02,000 flight report written and and she was 915 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,060 flight report written and and she was assigned to the flight both she and John 916 00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:04,070 assigned to the flight both she and John 917 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:06,000 assigned to the flight both she and John were assigned before the orbiter crew 918 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:06,010 were assigned before the orbiter crew 919 00:20:06,010 --> 00:20:09,610 were assigned before the orbiter crew was even mentioned in context with STS 920 00:20:09,610 --> 00:20:09,620 was even mentioned in context with STS 921 00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:12,070 was even mentioned in context with STS 67 by about six months so Tammy was 922 00:20:12,070 --> 00:20:12,080 67 by about six months so Tammy was 923 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,740 67 by about six months so Tammy was working all those issues with the 924 00:20:14,740 --> 00:20:14,750 working all those issues with the 925 00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:16,750 working all those issues with the payload community at Marshall Space 926 00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:16,760 payload community at Marshall Space 927 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,450 payload community at Marshall Space

with her science 935 00:20:25,490 --> 00:20:28,060 operations in sync with her science early on and she did just an awesome job 936 00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:28,070 early on and she did just an awesome job 937 00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:31,330 early on and she did just an awesome job here you see her working with one of the 938 00:20:31,330 --> 00:20:31,340 here you see her working with one of the 939 00:20:31,340 --> 00:20:34,180 here you see her working with one of the many PG SES that we had these were 940 00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:34,190 many PG SES that we had these were 941 00:20:34,190 --> 00:20:36,150 many PG SES that we had these were dedicated to the payload we had three 942 00:20:36,150 --> 00:20:36,160 dedicated to the payload we had three 943 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,800 dedicated to the payload we had three computers that were dedicated to Astro 944 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:38,810 computers that were dedicated to Astro 945 00:20:38,810 --> 00:20:41,290 computers that were dedicated to Astro and that was our primary interface with 946 00:20:41,290 --> 00:20:41,300 and that was our primary interface with 947 00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:44,410 and that was our primary interface with the Space Lab system the s-class the 948 00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:44,420 the Space Lab system the s-class the 949 00:20:44,420 --> 00:20:47,050 the Space Lab system the s-class the subsystem operating software and the 950 00:20:47,050 --> 00:20:47,060 subsystem operating software and the 951 00:20:47,060 --> 00:20:50,140 subsystem operating software and the e-class the experiment software to work 952 00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:50,150 e-class the experiment software to work 953 00:20:50,150 --> 00:20:52,120 e-class the experiment software to work with the payloads we had the the s-class 954 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:52,130 with the payloads we had the the s-class 955 00:20:52,130 --> 00:20:56,170 with the payloads we had the the s-class running primarily on the starboard side 956 00:20:56,170 --> 00:20:56,180 running primarily on the starboard side 957 00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:58,030 running primarily on the starboard side left side as you're looking at which was 958 00:20:58,030 --> 00:20:58,040 left side as you're looking at which was 959 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,580 left side as you're looking at which was the MS station and then the experiment 960 00:21:00,580 --> 00:21:00,590 the MS station and then the experiment 961 00:21:00,590 --> 00:21:03,040 the MS station and then the experiment side was primarily run by the folks on 962 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:03,050 side was primarily run by the folks on 963 00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:08,800 side was primarily run by the folks on the right side that being the PS okay 964 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:08,810 the right side that being the PS okay 965 00:21:08,810 --> 00:21:12,070 the right side that being the PS okay speaking of one of the PS Ron fries dr. 966 00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:12,080 speaking of one of the PS Ron fries dr. 967 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,410 speaking of one of the PS Ron fries dr. Ron Perez and when we got back to 968 00:21:14,410 --> 00:21:14,420 Ron Perez and when we got back to 969 00:21:14,420 --> 00:21:15,910 Ron Perez and when we got back to Ellington I said that he had been 970 00:21:15,910 --> 00:21:15,920 Ellington I said that he had been 971 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,610 Ellington I said that he had been assigned to astro since the earth cooled 972 00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:18,620 assigned to astro since the earth cooled 973 00:21:18,620 --> 00:21:20,680 assigned to astro since the earth cooled and that's not really completely 974 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:20,690 and that's not really completely 975 00:21:20,690 --> 00:21:21,760 and that's not really completely accurate 976 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:21,770 accurate 977 00:21:21,770 --> 00:21:24,430 accurate however he has been working astro since 978 00:21:24,430 --> 00:21:24,440 however he has been working astro since 979 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,900 however he has been working astro since he graduated from college which was 980 00:21:25,900 --> 00:21:25,910 he graduated from college which was 981 00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:29,800 he graduated from college which was shortly after the earth cooled 982 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:29,810 983 00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:32,270 and basically the guy is an expert on 984 00:21:32,270 --> 00:21:32,280 and basically the guy is an expert on 985 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,520 and basically the guy is an expert on Astro as you would suspect he flew on on 986 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:34,530 Astro as you would suspect he flew on on 987 00:21:34,530 --> 00:21:38,300 Astro as you would suspect he flew on on Astro one Jacqueline Vance brass and 988 00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:38,310 Astro one Jacqueline Vance brass and 989 00:21:38,310 --> 00:21:41,030 Astro one Jacqueline Vance brass and Vance bran and Guy Gardner and Sam 990 00:21:41,030 --> 00:21:41,040 Vance bran and Guy Gardner and Sam 991 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,400 Vance bran and Guy Gardner and Sam Durant's all well executed the first 992 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:43,410 Durant's all well executed the first 993 00:21:43,410 --> 00:21:46,330 Durant's all well executed the first mission here and so he was just a 994 00:21:46,330 --> 00:21:46,340 mission here and so he was just a 995 00:21:46,340 --> 00:21:49,850 mission here and so he was just a tremendous source of knowledge not only 996 00:21:49,850 --> 00:21:49,860 tremendous source of knowledge not only 997 00:21:49,860 --> 00:21:51,920 tremendous source of knowledge not only on UI key which is his particular area 998 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:51,930 on UI key which is his particular area 999 00:21:51,930 --> 00:21:54,080 on UI key which is his particular area of expertise but on the other two 1000 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:54,090 of expertise but on the other two 1001 00:21:54,090 --> 00:21:57,170 of expertise but on the other two payloads as well and besides that he was 1002 00:21:57,170 --> 00:21:57,180 payloads as well and besides that he was 1003 00:21:57,180 --> 00:21:58,640 payloads as well and besides that he was just a great guy to go fly with always 1004 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:58,650 just a great guy to go fly with always 1005 00:21:58,650 --> 00:22:00,950 just a great guy to go fly with always willing to do anything that was required 1006 00:22:00,950 --> 00:22:00,960 willing to do anything that was

mission over to the 1107 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,890 basically turned the mission over to the red team the blue team leaders and what 1108 00:24:06,890 --> 00:24:06,900 red team the blue team leaders and what 1109 00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,460 red team the blue team leaders and what he did was he supervised us and kept 1110 00:24:09,460 --> 00:24:09,470 he did was he supervised us and kept 1111 00:24:09,470 --> 00:24:12,260 he did was he supervised us and kept basically the ground in tune with what 1112 00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:12,270 basically the ground in tune with what 1113 00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:13,789 basically the ground in tune with what we were doing and handling any of the 1114 00:24:13,789 --> 00:24:13,799 we were doing and handling any of the 1115 00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:16,669 we were doing and handling any of the problems and this is a picture of him at 1116 00:24:16,669 --> 00:24:16,679 problems and this is a picture of him at 1117 00:24:16,679 --> 00:24:19,610 problems and this is a picture of him at work doing what he did best and that was 1118 00:24:19,610 --> 00:24:19,620 work doing what he did best and that was 1119 00:24:19,620 --> 00:24:21,549 work doing what he did best and that was keeping the ground informed via 1120 00:24:21,549 --> 00:24:21,559 keeping the ground informed via 1121 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:24,110 keeping the ground informed via basically the same email that we use 1122 00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:24,120 basically the same email that we use 1123 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,360 basically the same email that we use here on earth and you can see he's 1124 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:26,370 here on earth and you can see he's 1125 00:24:26,370 --> 00:24:28,460 here on earth and you can see he's typing on a keyboard and when issues 1126 00:24:28,460 --> 00:24:28,470 typing on a keyboard and when issues 1127 00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:32,029 typing on a keyboard and when issues came up Steve would use magical keyboard 1128 00:24:32,029 --> 00:24:32,039 came up Steve would use magical keyboard 1129 00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:34,549 came up Steve would use magical keyboard to talk to the ground and we got some 1130 00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:34,559 to talk to the ground and we got some 1131 00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:36,200 to talk to the ground and we got some awesome results at the Johnson Space 1132 00:24:36,200 -->

1206 00:26:02,749 --> 00:26:02,759 I'll let Bill continue to explain what 1207 00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:07,789 I'll let Bill continue to explain what we did with the CEMEX experiment we had 1208 00:26:07,789 --> 00:26:07,799 we did with the CEMEX experiment we had 1209 00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:09,919 we did with the CEMEX experiment we had a couple of portions of the C mix we had 1210 00:26:09,919 --> 00:26:09,929 a couple of portions of the C mix we had 1211 00:26:09,929 --> 00:26:12,830 a couple of portions of the C mix we had the box which you saw just above Wendy 1212 00:26:12,830 --> 00:26:12,840 the box which you saw just above Wendy 1213 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,139 the box which you saw just above Wendy which was the thermal enclosure and then 1214 00:26:15,139 --> 00:26:15,149 which was the thermal enclosure and then 1215 00:26:15,149 --> 00:26:18,680 which was the thermal enclosure and then we also had a pouch assembly that had a 1216 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:18,690 we also had a pouch assembly that had a 1217 00:26:18,690 --> 00:26:22,310 we also had a pouch assembly that had a variety of syringes which contained 1218 00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:22,320 variety of syringes which contained 1219 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,159 variety of syringes which contained different compounds into her life-forms 1220 00:26:25,159 --> 00:26:25,169 different compounds into her life-forms 1221 00:26:25,169 --> 00:26:27,229 different compounds into her life-forms and what we did was once we got up on 1222 00:26:27,229 --> 00:26:27,239 and what we did was once we got up on 1223 00:26:27,239 --> 00:26:29,989 and what we did was once we got up on orbit we would push these syringes to 1224 00:26:29,989 --> 00:26:29,999 orbit we would push these syringes to 1225 00:26:29,999 --> 00:26:32,989 orbit we would push these syringes to activate and we would have corresponding 1226 00:26:32,989 --> 00:26:32,999 activate and we would have corresponding 1227 00:26:32,999 --> 00:26:34,339 activate and we would have corresponding syringes on the ground that would be 1228 00:26:34,339 --> 00:26:34,349 syringes on the ground that would be 1229 00:26:34,349 --> 00:26:36,379 syringes on the ground that would be activated at the same time and then 1230 00:26:36,379 --> 00:26:36,389 activated at the same time and then 1231 00:26:36,389 --> 00:26:37,940 activated at the same time and then later on in the mission we would 1232 00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:37,950 later on in the mission we would 1233 00:26:37,950 --> 00:26:41,269 later on in the mission we would deactivate by sending a fixer in by 1234 00:26:41,269 --> 00:26:41,279 deactivate by sending a fixer in by 1235 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:43,489 deactivate by sending a fixer in by pushing the syringe a second time and so 1236 00:26:43,489 --> 00:26:43,499 pushing the syringe a second time and so 1237 00:26:43,499 --> 00:26:45,769 pushing the syringe a second time and so we were able to model both the ground 1238 00:26:45,769 --> 00:26:45,779 we were able to model both the ground 1239 00:26:45,779 --> 00:26:48,349 we were able to model both the ground and up in orbit exactly what was going 1240 00:26:48,349 --> 00:26:48,359 and up in orbit exactly what was going 1241 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,749 and up in orbit exactly what was going on and we filmed these so that they 1242 00:26:50,749 --> 00:26:50,759 on and we filmed these so that they 1243 00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:52,639 on and we filmed these so that they could provide further analysis once we 1244 00:26:52,639 --> 00:26:52,649 could provide further analysis once we 1245 00:26:52,649 --> 00:26:55,940 could provide further analysis once we landed another mid-deck experiment we 1246 00:26:55,940 --> 00:26:55,950 landed another mid-deck experiment we 1247 00:26:55,950 --> 00:26:59,119 landed another mid-deck experiment we had that was great and kept our 1248 00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,129 had that was great and kept our 1249 00:26:59,129 --> 00:27:00,919 had that was great and kept our commander busy almost the entire flight 1250 00:27:00,919 --> 00:27:00,929 commander busy almost the entire flight 1251 00:27:00,929 --> 00:27:03,499 commander busy almost the entire flight on the mid-deck was the mid-deck active 1252 00:27:03,499 --> 00:27:03,509 on the mid-deck was the mid-deck active 1253 00:27:03,509 --> 00:27:07,219 on the mid-deck was the mid-deck active control experiment and this is a very 1254 00:27:07,219 --> 00:27:07,229 control experiment and this is a very 1255 00:27:07,229 --> 00:27:08,719 control experiment and this is a very good payload that involved a lot of 1256 00:27:08,719 --> 00:27:08,729 good payload that involved a lot of 1257 00:27:08,729 --> 00:27:10,999 good payload that involved a lot of human interactivity built at the 1258 00:27:10,999 --> 00:27:11,009 human interactivity built at the 1259 00:27:11,009 --> 00:27:12,829 human interactivity built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1260 00:27:12,829 --> 00:27:12,839 Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1261 00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:15,499 Massachusetts

00:27:33,839 and gimbals and the purpose was the 1279 00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:35,959 and gimbals and the purpose was the disturbing end would try and shake the 1280 00:27:35,959 --> 00:27:35,969 disturbing end would try and shake the 1281 00:27:35,969 --> 00:27:38,359 disturbing end would try and shake the pointy end and some computer algorithms 1282 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:38,369 pointy end and some computer algorithms 1283 00:27:38,369 --> 00:27:40,339 pointy end and some computer algorithms and gyros and the gimbals would try and 1284 00:27:40,339 --> 00:27:40,349 and gyros and the gimbals would try and 1285 00:27:40,349 --> 00:27:42,709 and gyros and the gimbals would try and hold the pointy end very very stable and 1286 00:27:42,709 --> 00:27:42,719 hold the pointy end very very stable and 1287 00:27:42,719 --> 00:27:44,749 hold the pointy end very very stable and this is a model for all sorts of space 1288 00:27:44,749 --> 00:27:44,759 this is a model for all sorts of space 1289 00:27:44,759 --> 00:27:47,180 this is a model for all sorts of space structures this was relatively low cost 1290 00:27:47,180 --> 00:27:47,190 structures this was relatively low cost 1291 00:27:47,190 --> 00:27:48,889 structures this was relatively low cost experiment but from what they learned on 1292 00:27:48,889 --> 00:27:48,899 experiment but from what they learned on 1293 00:27:48,899 --> 00:27:50,719 experiment but from what they learned on our flight with all the runs that 1294 00:27:50,719 --> 00:27:50,729 our flight with all the runs that 1295 00:27:50,729 --> 00:27:52,700 our flight with all the runs that osborne EO and some of the other crew 1296 00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:52,710 osborne EO and some of the other crew 1297 00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:54,079 osborne EO and some of the other crew members did we'll be able to hopefully 1298 00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:54,089 members did we'll be able to hopefully 1299 00:27:54,089 --> 00:27:56,989 members did we'll be able to hopefully to leverage some great cost savings for 1300 00:27:56,989 --> 00:27:56,999 to leverage some great cost savings for 1301 00:27:56,999 --> 00:27:58,909 to leverage some great cost savings for building very large satellites such as 1302 00:27:58,909 --> 00:27:58,919 building very large satellites such as 1303 00:27:58,919 --> 00:28:00,680 building very large satellites such as some of the earth observation systems or 1304 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:00,690 some of the earth observation systems or 1305 00:28:00,690 --> 00:28:03,829 some of the earth observation systems or space stations or spacecraft to head out 1306 00:28:03,829 --> 00:28:03,839 space stations or spacecraft to head out 1307 00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:05,210 space stations or spacecraft to head out and explore the planets 1308 00:28:05,210 --> 00:28:05,220 and explore the planets 1309 00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:08,089 and explore the planets we also had an experiment on board 1310 00:28:08,089 --> 00:28:08,099 we also had an experiment on board 1311 00:28:08,099 --> 00:28:09,979 we also had an experiment on board called Tsar X it's an amateur radio 1312 00:28:09,979 --> 00:28:09,989 called Tsar X it's an amateur radio 1313 00:28:09,989 --> 00:28:13,849 called Tsar X it's an amateur radio experiment and here you see wa4 s ir AKA 1314 00:28:13,849 --> 00:28:13,859 experiment and here you see wa4 s ir AKA 1315 00:28:13,859 --> 00:28:16,580 experiment and here you see wa4 s ir AKA ron freeze talking to one of the school 1316 00:28:16,580 --> 00:28:16,590 ron freeze talking to one of the school 1317 00:28:16,590 --> 00:28:18,889 ron freeze talking to one of the school groups on the ground and we had a record 1318 00:28:18,889 --> 00:28:18,899 groups on the ground and we had a record 1319 00:28:18,899 --> 00:28:21,080 groups on the ground and we had a record number of contacts and everyone i 1320 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:21,090 number of contacts and everyone i 1321 00:28:21,090 --> 00:28:23,330 number of contacts and everyone i thought was truly excellent the kids 1322 00:28:23,330 --> 00:28:23,340 thought was truly excellent the kids 1323 00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:25,339 thought was truly excellent the kids asked and students has just wonderful 1324 00:28:25,339 --> 00:28:25,349 asked and students has just wonderful 1325 00:28:25,349 --> 00:28:27,560 asked and students has just wonderful questions and it was really need to be 1326 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:27,570 questions and it was really need to be 1327 00:28:27,570 --> 00:28:28,609 questions and it was really need to be able to talk to them and give them 1328 00:28:28,609 --> 00:28:28,619 able to talk to them and give them 1329 00:28:28,619 --> 00:28:31,989 able to talk to them and give them real-time feedback we also had our 1330 00:28:31,989 --> 00:28:31,999 real-time feedback we also had our 1331 00:28:31,999 --> 00:28:34,070 real-time feedback we also had our experiment looked up to computers so 1332 00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:34,080 experiment looked up to computers so 1333 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,200 experiment looked up to computers so people could log on to the orbiter and 1334 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:36,210 people could log on to the orbiter and 1335 00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:37,969 people could log on to the orbiter and receive a little bit of information I 1336 00:28:37,969 --> 00:28:37,979 receive a little bit of information I 1337 00:28:37,979 --> 00:28:40,369 receive a little bit of information I mean over 1,200 contacts for people were 1338 00:28:40,369 --> 00:28:40,379 mean over 1,200 contacts for people were 1339 00:28:40,379 --> 00:28:42,219 mean over 1,200 contacts for people were able to connect with the orbiter and 1340 00:28:42,219 --> 00:28:42,229 able to connect with the orbiter and 1341 00:28:42,229 --> 00:28:44,779 able to connect with the orbiter and lots more where we were just able to 1342 00:28:44,779 --> 00:28:44,789 lots more where we were just able to 1343 00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:47,210 lots more where we were just able to talk to folks from all over the world as 1344 00:28:47,210 --> 00:28:47,220 talk to folks from all over the world as 1345 00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:52,009 talk to folks from all over the world as we passed over on an amateur radio one 1346 00:28:52,009 --> 00:28:52,019 we passed over on an amateur radio one 1347 00:28:52,019 --> 00:28:53,889 we passed over on an amateur radio one of the other experiments that we flew 1348 00:28:53,889 --> 00:28:53,899 of the other experiments that we flew 1349 00:28:53,899 --> 00:28:56,960 of the other experiments that we flew was the pilot and what you're looking at 1350 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:56,970 was the pilot and what you're looking at 1351 00:28:56,970 --> 00:29:00,229 was the pilot and what you're looking at here is a computer workstation and just 1352 00:29:00,229 --> 00:29:00,239 here is a computer workstation and just 1353 00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:02,649 here is a computer workstation and just out of view are my hands holding a 1354 00:29:02,649 --> 00:29:02,659 out of view are my hands holding a 1355 00:29:02,659 --> 00:29:05,359 out of view are my hands holding a second stick and what this allowed us to 1356 00:29:05,359 --> 00:29:05,369 second stick and what this allowed us to 1357 00:29:05,369 --> 00:29:06,950 second stick and what this allowed us to do is through the course of a mission 1358 00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:06,960 do is through the course of a mission 1359 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,460 do is through the course of a mission fly numerous approaches and landings to 1360 00:29:10,460 --> 00:29:10,470 fly numerous approaches and landings to 1361 00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:13,009 fly numerous approaches and landings to a simulated shuttle landing site and 1362 00:29:13,009 --> 00:29:13,019 a simulated shuttle landing site and 1363 00:29:13,019 --> 00:29:15,200 a simulated shuttle landing site and we're looking for a possible degradation 1364 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:15,210 we're looking for a possible degradation 1365 00:29:15,210 --> 00:29:18,219 we're looking for a possible degradation over the period of the 16-day mission 1366 00:29:18,219 --> 00:29:18,229 over the period of the 16-day mission 1367 00:29:18,229 --> 00:29:21,469 over the period of the 16-day mission additionally this allowed us to practice 1368 00:29:21,469 --> 00:29:21,479 additionally this allowed us to practice 1369 00:29:21,479 --> 00:29:24,769 additionally this allowed us to practice prior to the actual landing and Steve 1370 00:29:24,769 --> 00:29:24,779 prior to the actual landing and Steve 1371 00:29:24,779 --> 00:29:27,259 prior to the actual landing and Steve myself and Wendy were able to practice 1372 00:29:27,259 --> 00:29:27,269 myself and Wendy were able to practice 1373 00:29:27,269 --> 00:29:29,330 myself and Wendy were able to practice our crew coordination and our calls and 1374 00:29:29,330 --> 00:29:29,340 our crew coordination and our calls and 1375 00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:31,489 our crew coordination and our calls and kind of get back into the saddle as far 1376 00:29:31,489 --> 00:29:31,499 kind of get back into the saddle as far 1377 00:29:31,499 --> 00:29:35,169 kind of get back into the saddle as far as being prepared for our actual landing 1378 00:29:35,169 --> 00:29:35,179 as being prepared for our actual landing 1379 00:29:35,179 --> 00:29:37,190 as being prepared for our actual landing unfortunately we were not scheduled to 1380 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:37,200 unfortunately we were not scheduled to 1381 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,529 unfortunately we were not scheduled to work all the time all of us had an 1382 00:29:39,529 --> 00:29:39,539 work all the time all of us had an 1383 00:29:39,539 --> 00:29:42,080 work all the time all of us had an opportunity to relax on the bicycle 1384 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:42,090 opportunity to relax on the bicycle 1385 00:29:42,090 --> 00:29:44,299 opportunity to relax on the bicycle ergometer John is actually the one doing 1386 00:29:44,299 --> 00:29:44,309 ergometer John is actually the one doing 1387 00:29:44,309 --> 00:29:45,710 ergometer John is actually the one doing work and I'm having a lot of fun playing 1388 00:29:45,710 --> 00:29:45,720 work and I'm having a lot of fun playing 1389 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,589 work and I'm having a lot of fun playing alongside it was a great way to relieve 1390 00:29:48,589 --> 00:29:48,599 alongside it was a great way to relieve 1391 00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:50,149 alongside it was a great way to relieve stress like just like you would do down 1392 00:29:50,149 --> 00:29:50,159 stress like just like you would do down 1393 00:29:50,159 --> 00:29:52,279 stress like just like you would do down here on the ground we exercise 1394 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:52,289 here on the ground we exercise 1395 00:29:52,289 --> 00:29:54,409 here on the ground we exercise throughout the day you were better folks 1396 00:29:54,409 --> 00:29:54,419 throughout the day you were better folks 1397 00:29:54,419 --> 00:29:55,969 throughout the day you were better folks tended to exercise during the middle of 1398 00:29:55,969 --> 00:29:55,979 tended to exercise during the middle of 1399 00:29:55,979 --> 00:29:57,799 tended to exercise during the middle of our shift and we left the pre and post a 1400 00:29:57,799 --> 00:29:57,809 our shift and we left the pre and post a 1401 00:29:57,809 --> 00:30:00,169 our shift and we left the pre and post a period available for the payload crew to 1402 00:30:00,169 --> 00:30:00,179 period available for the payload crew to 1403 00:30:00,179 --> 00:30:02,450 period available for the payload crew to hop on the bike and I think every one of 1404 00:30:02,450 --> 00:30:02,460 hop on the bike and I think every one of 1405 00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:05,180 hop on the bike and I think every one of us would feel that we we really felt 1406 00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:05,190 us would feel that we we really felt 1407 00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:07,549 us would feel that we we really felt great post landing because we had had an 1408 00:30:07,549 --> 00:30:07,559 great post landing because we had had an 1409 00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:09,109 great post landing because we had had an extensive opportunity to get on the 1410 00:30:09,109 --> 00:30:09,119 extensive opportunity to get on the 1411 00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:12,109 extensive opportunity to get on the bicycle and pedal three of us had an 1412 00:30:12,109 --> 00:30:12,119 bicycle and pedal three of us had an 1413 00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:13,700 bicycle and pedal three of us had an opportunity to pedal around the world 1414 00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:13,710 opportunity to pedal around the world 1415 00:30:13,710 --> 00:30:16,080 opportunity to pedal around the world that took about 95 minutes to do 1416 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:16,090 that took about 95 minutes to do 1417 00:30:16,090 --> 00:30:17,700 that took about 95 minutes to do and we thoroughly enjoyed that the only 1418 00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:17,710 and we thoroughly enjoyed that the only 1419 00:30:17,710 --> 00:30:19,619 and we thoroughly enjoyed that the only problem with the current configuration 1420 00:30:19,619 --> 00:30:19,629 problem with the current configuration 1421 00:30:19,629 --> 00:30:21,570 problem with the current configuration of the bicycle is unfortunately have to 1422 00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:21,580 of the bicycle is unfortunately have to 1423 00:30:21,580 --> 00:30:24,570 of the bicycle is unfortunately have to look at the sleep stations if we had 1424 00:30:24,570 --> 00:30:24,580 look at the sleep stations if we had 1425 00:30:24,580 --> 00:30:26,099 look at the sleep stations if we had been able to set it up the other way we 1426 00:30:26,099 --> 00:30:26,109 been able to set it up the other way we 1427 00:30:26,109 --> 00:30:27,359 been able to set it up the other way we could have peddled around the world and 1428 00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:27,369 could have peddled around the world and 1429 00:30:27,369 --> 00:30:29,190 could have peddled around the world and actually looked at at the same time but 1430 00:30:29,190 --> 00:30:29,200 actually looked at at the same time but 1431 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,139 actually looked at at the same time but it really was a great way to get some 1432 00:30:31,139 --> 00:30:31,149 it really was a great way to get some 1433 00:30:31,149 --> 00:30:35,659 it really was a great way to get some exercise and relax while you're on orbit 1434 00:30:35,659 --> 00:30:35,669 1435 00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:38,430 and those of us on the blue ship had 1436 00:30:38,430 --> 00:30:38,440 and those of us on the blue ship had 1437 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,229 and those of us on the blue ship had this wonderful opportunity every morning 1438 00:30:40,229 --> 00:30:40,239 this wonderful opportunity every morning 1439 00:30:40,239 --> 00:30:43,259 this wonderful opportunity every morning we got to see that old Borneo Bill wake 1440 00:30:43,259 --> 00:30:43,269 we got to see that old Borneo Bill wake 1441 00:30:43,269 --> 00:30:45,089 we got to see that old Borneo Bill wake up and climb up and climb out of his 1442 00:30:45,089 --> 00:30:45,099 up and climb up and climb out of his 1443 00:30:45,099 --> 00:30:48,810 up and climb up and climb out of his sleep station we had four sleep stations 1444 00:30:48,810 --> 00:30:48,820 sleep station we had four sleep stations 1445 00:30:48,820 --> 00:30:50,579 sleep station we had four sleep stations installed which was really a wonderful 1446 00:30:50,579 --> 00:30:50,589 installed which was really a wonderful 1447 00:30:50,589 --> 00:30:53,579 installed which was really a wonderful thing for a dual shift flight and keep 1448 00:30:53,579 --> 00:30:53,589 thing for a dual shift flight and keep 1449 00:30:53,589 --> 00:30:55,649 thing for a dual shift flight and keep in mind that why half of the crew is up 1450 00:30:55,649 --> 00:30:55,659 in mind that why half of the crew is up 1451 00:30:55,659 --> 00:30:57,359 in mind that why half of the crew is up and working the other half of the crew 1452 00:30:57,359 --> 00:30:57,369 and working the other half of the crew 1453 00:30:57,369 --> 00:30:59,700 and working the other half of the crew needs to be asleep so we can conduct our 1454 00:30:59,700 --> 00:30:59,710 needs to be asleep so we can conduct our 1455 00:30:59,710 --> 00:31:02,879 needs to be asleep so we can conduct our 24-hour operations and the sleep 1456 00:31:02,879 --> 00:31:02,889 24-hour operations and the sleep 1457 00:31:02,889 --> 00:31:04,200 24-hour operations and the sleep stations really provided you with a 1458 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:04,210 stations really provided you with a 1459 00:31:04,210 --> 00:31:06,359 stations really provided you with a great way to get a good quiet night's 1460 00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:06,369 great way to get a good quiet night's 1461 00:31:06,369 --> 00:31:06,899 great way to get a good quiet night's sleep 1462 00:31:06,899 --> 00:31:06,909 sleep 1463 00:31:06,909 --> 00:31:08,879 sleep personally I never used earplugs and I 1464 00:31:08,879 --> 00:31:08,889 personally I never used earplugs and I 1465 00:31:08,889 --> 00:31:11,969 personally I never used earplugs and I slept great on orbit it was really kind 1466 00:31:11,969 --> 00:31:11,979 slept great on orbit it was really kind 1467 00:31:11,979 --> 00:31:13,680 slept great on orbit it was really kind of neat to be even though you're inside 1468 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:13,690 of neat to be even though you're inside 1469 00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:15,869 of neat to be even though you're inside of a sleeping bag kind of a cocoon like 1470 00:31:15,869 --> 00:31:15,879 of a sleeping bag kind of a cocoon like 1471 00:31:15,879 --> 00:31:17,279 of a sleeping bag kind of a cocoon like sleeping bag that's attached to the 1472 00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:17,289 sleeping bag that's attached to the 1473 00:31:17,289 --> 00:31:18,659 sleeping bag that's attached to the walls of the sleep station you can 1474 00:31:18,659 --> 00:31:18,669 walls of the sleep station you can 1475 00:31:18,669 --> 00:31:20,009 walls of the sleep station you can definitely tell that you are floating 1476 00:31:20,009 --> 00:31:20,019 definitely tell that you are floating 1477 00:31:20,019 --> 00:31:22,109 definitely tell that you are floating and I thought that was better than any 1478 00:31:22,109 --> 00:31:22,119 and I thought that was better than any 1479 00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:26,639 and I thought that was better than any waterbed that I had been on well as I'm 1480 00:31:26,639 --> 00:31:26,649 waterbed that I had been on well as I'm 1481 00:31:26,649 --> 00:31:28,440 waterbed that I had been on well as I'm sure you hear from every crew one of the 1482 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:28,450 sure you hear from every crew one of the 1483 00:31:28,450 --> 00:31:30,209 sure you hear from every crew one of the most exciting parts of any flight is 1484 00:31:30,209 --> 00:31:30,219 most exciting parts of any flight is 1485 00:31:30,219 --> 00:31:33,209 most exciting parts of any flight is looking out the window and the Earth 1486 00:31:33,209 --> 00:31:33,219 looking out the window and the Earth 1487 00:31:33,219 --> 00:31:35,489 looking out the window and the Earth Observation program actually gives us a 1488 00:31:35,489 --> 00:31:35,499 Observation program actually gives us a 1489 00:31:35,499 --> 00:31:37,560 Observation program actually gives us a real requirement to do that so it's it's 1490 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:37,570 real requirement to do that so it's it's 1491 00:31:37,570 --> 00:31:40,889 real requirement to do that so it's it's a great program and here you see John 1492 00:31:40,889 --> 00:31:40,899 a great program and here you see John 1493 00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:45,239 a great program and here you see John John and Wendy were our onboard film and 1494 00:31:45,239 --> 00:31:45,249 John and Wendy were our onboard film and 1495 00:31:45,249 --> 00:31:48,149 John and Wendy were our onboard film and camera folks they made sure we had 1496 00:31:48,149 --> 00:31:48,159 camera folks they made sure we had 1497 00:31:48,159 --> 00:31:50,399 camera folks they made sure we had plenty of film loaded that the cameras 1498 00:31:50,399 --> 00:31:50,409 plenty of film loaded that the cameras 1499 00:31:50,409 --> 00:31:51,930 plenty of film loaded that the cameras were working great lenses were clean 1500 00:31:51,930 --> 00:31:51,940 were working great lenses were clean 1501 00:31:51,940 --> 00:31:55,709 were working great lenses were clean windows were clean and as I was 1502 00:31:55,709 --> 00:31:55,719 windows were clean and as I was 1503 00:31:55,719 --> 00:31:59,219 windows were clean and as I was mentioned before we took over 7,000 70 1504 00:31:59,219 --> 00:31:59,229 mentioned before we took over 7,000 70 1505 00:31:59,229 --> 00:32:00,869 mentioned before we took over 7,000 70 millimeter frames most of which was 1506 00:32:00,869 --> 00:32:00,879 millimeter frames most of which was 1507 00:32:00,879 --> 00:32:07,649 millimeter frames most of which was Earth Observation photography and one of 1508 00:32:07,649 --> 00:32:07,659 Earth Observation photography and one of 1509 00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:10,499 Earth Observation photography and one of the very pretty places that we flew over 1510 00:32:10,499 --> 00:32:10,509 the very pretty places that we flew over 1511 00:32:10,509 --> 00:32:12,690 the very pretty places that we flew over many many times in the daylight on this 1512 00:32:12,690 --> 00:32:12,700 many many times in the daylight on this 1513 00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:14,539 many many times in the daylight on this flight was Australia this is a view 1514 00:32:14,539 --> 00:32:14,549 flight was Australia this is a view 1515 00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:17,249 flight was Australia this is a view along the western coast of Australia of 1516 00:32:17,249 --> 00:32:17,259 along the western coast of Australia of 1517 00:32:17,259 --> 00:32:20,489 along the western coast of Australia of an area called Shark Bay Shark Bay is 1518 00:32:20,489 --> 00:32:20,499 an area called Shark Bay Shark Bay is 1519 00:32:20,499 --> 00:32:22,680 an area called Shark Bay Shark Bay is just a beautiful area to look at from 1520 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:22,690 just a beautiful area to look at from 1521 00:32:22,690 --> 00:32:25,289 just a beautiful area to look at from space there are a number of rivers this 1522 00:32:25,289 --> 00:32:25,299 space there are a number of rivers this 1523 00:32:25,299 --> 00:32:27,779 space there are a number of rivers this is a very arid desert region 1524 00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:27,789 is a very arid desert region 1525 00:32:27,789 --> 00:32:30,479 is a very arid desert region and there are some rivers that flow into 1526 00:32:30,479 --> 00:32:30,489 and there are some rivers that flow into 1527 00:32:30,489 --> 00:32:32,869 and there are some rivers that flow into the bay and you see a lot of sediment 1528 00:32:32,869 --> 00:32:32,879 the bay and you see a lot of sediment 1529 00:32:32,879 --> 00:32:37,649 the bay and you see a lot of sediment produced here this work there we go 1530 00:32:37,649 --> 00:32:37,659 produced here this work there we go 1531 00:32:37,659 --> 00:32:39,479 produced here this work there we go there's for example river coming out 1532 00:32:39,479 --> 00:32:39,489 there's for example river coming out 1533 00:32:39,489 --> 00:32:41,099 there's for example river coming out here you see the sediment plume coming 1534 00:32:41,099 --> 00:32:41,109 here you see the sediment plume coming 1535 00:32:41,109 --> 00:32:43,859 here you see the sediment plume coming out into the bay and all of this stuff 1536 00:32:43,859 --> 00:32:43,869 out into the bay and all of this stuff 1537 00:32:43,869 --> 00:32:47,340 out into the bay and all of this stuff here is lime and algae deposits that 1538 00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:47,350 here is lime and algae deposits that 1539 00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:48,810 here is lime and algae deposits that have built up in the bay but they have 1540 00:32:48,810 --> 00:32:48,820 have built up in the bay but they have 1541 00:32:48,820 --> 00:32:51,359 have built up in the bay but they have these tidal flows going through them 1542 00:32:51,359 --> 00:32:51,369 these tidal flows going through them 1543 00:32:51,369 --> 00:32:58,349 these tidal flows going through them that make very pretty patterns and this 1544 00:32:58,349 --> 00:32:58,359 that make very pretty patterns and this 1545 00:32:58,359 --> 00:33:02,609 that make very pretty patterns and this is further across Australia as our orbit 1546 00:33:02,609 --> 00:33:02,619 is further across Australia as our orbit 1547 00:33:02,619 --> 00:33:04,409 is further across Australia as our orbit carries us across Australia this is in 1548 00:33:04,409 --> 00:33:04,419 carries us across Australia this is in 1549 00:33:04,419 --> 00:33:08,639 carries us across Australia this is in the central region of Australia which is 1550 00:33:08,639 --> 00:33:08,649 the central region of Australia which is 1551 00:33:08,649 --> 00:33:11,399 the central region of Australia which is very area and dry and you see here the 1552 00:33:11,399 --> 00:33:11,409 very area and dry and you see here the 1553 00:33:11,409 --> 00:33:15,509 very area and dry and you see here the Copper Canyon region Copper Creek region 1554 00:33:15,509 --> 00:33:15,519 Copper Canyon region Copper Creek region 1555 00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:18,629 Copper Canyon region Copper Creek region and normally these lakes are these 1556 00:33:18,629 --> 00:33:18,639 and normally these lakes are these 1557 00:33:18,639 --> 00:33:22,979 and normally these lakes are these rivers and lakes are dry a few times 1558 00:33:22,979 --> 00:33:22,989 rivers and lakes are dry a few times 1559 00:33:22,989 --> 00:33:25,139 rivers and lakes are dry a few times every century they flood and create 1560 00:33:25,139 --> 00:33:25,149 every century they flood and create 1561 00:33:25,149 --> 00:33:26,909 every century they flood and create these very wide floodplains and you can 1562 00:33:26,909 --> 00:33:26,919 these very wide floodplains and you can 1563 00:33:26,919 --> 00:33:31,190 these very wide floodplains and you can see the creeks here the floodplain 1564 00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:31,200 see the creeks here the floodplain 1565 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,249 see the creeks here the floodplain covers this wide area here there have 1566 00:33:35,249 --> 00:33:35,259 covers this wide area here there have 1567 00:33:35,259 --> 00:33:36,960 covers this wide area here there have been a number of rains recently in 1568 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:36,970 been a number of rains recently in 1569 00:33:36,970 --> 00:33:38,430 been a number of rains recently in Australia and you can see in the Sun 1570 00:33:38,430 --> 00:33:38,440 Australia and you can see in the Sun 1571 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,499 Australia and you can see in the Sun glint that a lot of the rills in this 1572 00:33:40,499 --> 00:33:40,509 glint that a lot of the rills in this 1573 00:33:40,509 --> 00:33:42,210 glint that a lot of the rills in this floodplain are filled with water you can 1574 00:33:42,210 --> 00:33:42,220 floodplain are filled with water you can 1575 00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:44,279 floodplain are filled with water you can see the Sun glint off of the water and 1576 00:33:44,279 --> 00:33:44,289 see the Sun glint off of the water and 1577 00:33:44,289 --> 00:33:46,289 see the Sun glint off of the water and this lake down here is the late 1578 00:33:46,289 --> 00:33:46,299 this lake down here is the late 1579 00:33:46,299 --> 00:33:48,509 this lake down here is the late colleague Yama Yama and it is in fact 1580 00:33:48,509 --> 00:33:48,519 colleague Yama Yama and it is in fact 1581 00:33:48,519 --> 00:33:52,099 colleague Yama Yama and it is in fact you can see water filling the lake 1582 00:33:52,099 --> 00:33:52,109 you can see water filling the lake 1583 00:33:52,109 --> 00:33:54,060 you can see water filling the lake Australia actually did have quite a bit 1584 00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:54,070 Australia actually did have quite a bit 1585 00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:55,769 Australia actually did have quite a bit of water in it this time normally this 1586 00:33:55,769 --> 00:33:55,779 of water in it this time normally this 1587 00:33:55,779 --> 00:34:00,469 of water in it this time normally this area in Australia is quite dry and 1588 00:34:00,469 --> 00:34:00,479 1589 00:34:00,479 --> 00:34:03,029 another thing we see from orbit are 1590 00:34:03,029 --> 00:34:03,039 another thing we see from orbit are 1591 00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:07,379 another thing we see from orbit are weather patterns this is a a circulation 1592 00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:07,389 weather patterns this is a a circulation 1593 00:34:07,389 --> 00:34:09,149 weather patterns this is a a circulation around a low-pressure area in the 1594 00:34:09,149 --> 00:34:09,159 around a low-pressure area in the 1595 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:12,539 around a low-pressure area in the southern hemisphere you can see the as 1596 00:34:12,539 --> 00:34:12,549 southern hemisphere you can see the as 1597 00:34:12,549 --> 00:34:15,089 southern hemisphere you can see the as the air mass moves in toward the low 1598 00:34:15,089 --> 00:34:15,099 the air mass moves in toward the low 1599 00:34:15,099 --> 00:34:17,250 the air mass moves in toward the low pressure area it takes on this cyclonic 1600 00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:17,260 pressure area it takes on this cyclonic 1601 00:34:17,260 --> 00:34:21,119 pressure area it takes on this cyclonic circulation and you see here are various 1602 00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:21,129 circulation and you see here are various 1603 00:34:21,129 --> 00:34:22,829 circulation and you see here are various lines of thunderstorms forming around 1604 00:34:22,829 --> 00:34:22,839 lines of thunderstorms forming around 1605 00:34:22,839 --> 00:34:28,379 lines of thunderstorms forming around the low-pressure area itself this is one 1606 00:34:28,379 --> 00:34:28,389 the low-pressure area itself this is one 1607 00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:31,180 the low-pressure area itself this is one of my favorite places in the whole world 1608 00:34:31,180 --> 00:34:31,190 of my favorite places in the whole world 1609 00:34:31,190 --> 00:34:32,800 of my favorite places in the whole world spend a lot of time there back when I 1610 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:32,810 spend a lot of time there back when I 1611 00:34:32,810 --> 00:34:35,550 spend a lot of time there back when I was in the Navy in a previous life and 1612 00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:35,560 was in the Navy in a previous life and 1613 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,960 was in the Navy in a previous life and here we see Mount Pinatubo and basically 1614 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:40,970 here we see Mount Pinatubo and basically 1615 00:34:40,970 --> 00:34:43,000 here we see Mount Pinatubo and basically this this particular photo will be the 1616 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,010 this this particular photo will be the 1617 00:34:43,010 --> 00:34:45,400 this this particular photo will be the baseline for the coming raining season a 1618 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:45,410 baseline for the coming raining season a 1619 00:34:45,410 --> 00:34:47,200 baseline for the coming raining season a season in the Philippines this is the 1620 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:47,210 season in the Philippines this is the 1621 00:34:47,210 --> 00:34:49,170 season in the Philippines this is the big island of Luzon here's Manila Bay 1622 00:34:49,170 --> 00:34:49,180 big island of Luzon here's Manila Bay 1623 00:34:49,180 --> 00:34:52,000 big island of Luzon here's Manila Bay manila's over here the Bataan Peninsula 1624 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,010 manila's over here the Bataan Peninsula 1625 00:34:52,010 --> 00:34:54,940 manila's over here the Bataan Peninsula of world war to fame and of course Mount 1626 00:34:54,940 --> 00:34:54,950 of world war to fame and of course Mount 1627 00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:57,130 of world war to fame and of course Mount Pinatubo with crater lake at the top 1628 00:34:57,130 --> 00:34:57,140 Pinatubo with crater lake at the top 1629 00:34:57,140 --> 00:34:59,470 Pinatubo with crater lake at the top bright blue and you can see the mud 1630 00:34:59,470 --> 00:34:59,480 bright blue and you can see the mud 1631 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,960 bright blue and you can see the mud flows that have come down Clark Air 1632 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:01,970 flows that have come down Clark Air 1633 00:35:01,970 --> 00:35:04,270 flows that have come down Clark Air Force Base is located right here you can 1634 00:35:04,270 --> 00:35:04,280 Force Base is located right here you can 1635 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,550 Force Base is located right here you can actually see the runways there and all 1636 00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:06,560 actually see the runways there and all 1637 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,650 actually see the runways there and all the mud flows that have that have 1638 00:35:08,650 --> 00:35:08,660 the mud flows that have that have 1639 00:35:08,660 --> 00:35:11,040 the mud flows that have that have followed the eruption of Mount Pinatubo 1640 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:11,050 followed the eruption of Mount Pinatubo 1641 00:35:11,050 --> 00:35:13,060 followed the eruption of Mount Pinatubo the particular area that I was 1642 00:35:13,060 --> 00:35:13,070 the particular area that I was 1643 00:35:13,070 --> 00:35:15,490 the particular area that I was interested in this is Subic Bay Cuba 1644 00:35:15,490 --> 00:35:15,500 interested in this is Subic Bay Cuba 1645 00:35:15,500 --> 00:35:17,320 interested in this is Subic Bay Cuba point Naval Air Station that both Clark 1646 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:17,330 point Naval Air Station that both Clark 1647 00:35:17,330 --> 00:35:19,030 point Naval Air Station that both Clark and Subic Bay have been given back to 1648 00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:19,040 and Subic Bay have been given back to 1649 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,010 and Subic Bay have been given back to the Philippine government now but we 1650 00:35:21,010 --> 00:35:21,020 the Philippine government now but we 1651 00:35:21,020 --> 00:35:22,780 the Philippine government now but we used to drop a lot of bombs onto targets 1652 00:35:22,780 --> 00:35:22,790 used to drop a lot of bombs onto targets 1653 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:24,700 used to drop a lot of bombs onto targets right out here and there's another 1654 00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:24,710 right out here and there's another 1655 00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:26,920 right out here and there's another target right up this away it wasn't 1656 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:26,930 target right up this away it wasn't 1657 00:35:26,930 --> 00:35:28,390 target right up this away it wasn't supposed to be a target but one 1658 00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:28,400 supposed to be a target but one 1659 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,310 supposed to be a target but one particular air wearing commander decided 1660 00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:30,320 particular air wearing commander decided 1661 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,160 particular air wearing commander decided to make it a target one afternoon which 1662 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:32,170 to make it a target one afternoon which 1663 00:35:32,170 --> 00:35:34,090 to make it a target one afternoon which unfortunately it was a recreation area 1664 00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:34,100 unfortunately it was a recreation area 1665 00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:36,400 unfortunately it was a recreation area for the communication station and there 1666 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:36,410 for the communication station and there 1667 00:35:36,410 --> 00:35:37,810 for the communication station and there were a number of families fortunately on 1668 00:35:37,810 --> 00:35:37,820 were a number of families fortunately on 1669 00:35:37,820 --> 00:35:40,450 were a number of families fortunately on the other end of the island but but 1670 00:35:40,450 --> 00:35:40,460 the other end of the island but but 1671 00:35:40,460 --> 00:35:42,460 the other end of the island but but obviously this is a place where a lot of 1672 00:35:42,460 --> 00:35:42,470 obviously this is a place where a lot of 1673 00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:44,230 obviously this is a place where a lot of folks currently in the astronaut office 1674 00:35:44,230 --> 00:35:44,240 folks currently in the astronaut office 1675 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:45,790 folks currently in the astronaut office has been an awful lot of time and it's a 1676 00:35:45,790 --> 00:35:45,800 has been an awful lot of time and it's a 1677 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,950 has been an awful lot of time and it's a beautiful beautiful part of the world I 1678 00:35:49,950 --> 00:35:49,960 1679 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,330 have the oceanography background on the 1680 00:35:52,330 --> 00:35:52,340 have the oceanography background on the 1681 00:35:52,340 --> 00:35:54,520 have the oceanography background on the flight so they voted for me to discuss 1682 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:54,530 flight so they voted for me to discuss 1683 00:35:54,530 --> 00:35:57,070 flight so they voted for me to discuss this line we're actually looking at the 1684 00:35:57,070 --> 00:35:57,080 this line we're actually looking at the 1685 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,110 this line we're actually looking at the Ritchie archipelago which is in the 1686 00:35:59,110 --> 00:35:59,120 Ritchie archipelago which is in the 1687 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,330 Ritchie archipelago which is in the Andaman Sea that's actually between 1688 00:36:01,330 --> 00:36:01,340 Andaman Sea that's actually between 1689 00:36:01,340 --> 00:36:03,220 Andaman Sea that's actually between India and Burma and the Bay of Bengal 1690 00:36:03,220 --> 00:36:03,230 India and Burma and the Bay of Bengal 1691 00:36:03,230 --> 00:36:07,270 India and Burma and the Bay of Bengal and because of the reflection of the Sun 1692 00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:07,280 and because of the reflection of the Sun 1693 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,460 and because of the reflection of the Sun off the surface of the water were able 1694 00:36:09,460 --> 00:36:09,470 off the surface of the water were able 1695 00:36:09,470 --> 00:36:12,100 off the surface of the water were able to detect many features of the ocean in 1696 00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:12,110 to detect many features of the ocean in 1697 00:36:12,110 --> 00:36:14,260 to detect many features of the ocean in this case circulation patterns you're 1698 00:36:14,260 --> 00:36:14,270 this case circulation patterns you're 1699 00:36:14,270 --> 00:36:15,430 this case circulation patterns you're going to take some of the current that's 1700 00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:15,440 going to take some of the current that's 1701 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,430 going to take some of the current that's running along the shore and as Sam 1702 00:36:18,430 --> 00:36:18,440 running along the shore and as Sam 1703 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,280 running along the shore and as Sam talked about weather patterns in in the 1704 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:21,290 talked about weather patterns in in the 1705 00:36:21,290 --> 00:36:23,620 talked about weather patterns in in the airmass the cyclonic circulation you can 1706 00:36:23,620 --> 00:36:23,630 airmass the cyclonic circulation you can 1707 00:36:23,630 --> 00:36:25,150 airmass the cyclonic circulation you can also have the same features that will 1708 00:36:25,150 --> 00:36:25,160 also have the same features that will 1709 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,370 also have the same features that will develop in the ocean you'll have some 1710 00:36:27,370 --> 00:36:27,380 develop in the ocean you'll have some 1711 00:36:27,380 --> 00:36:29,980 develop in the ocean you'll have some circular patterns on the ocean surface 1712 00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:29,990 circular patterns on the ocean surface 1713 00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:31,960 circular patterns on the ocean surface detected by the Sun glint which we call 1714 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:31,970 detected by the Sun glint which we call 1715 00:36:31,970 --> 00:36:33,940 detected by the Sun glint which we call Eddie's other features that you can 1716 00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:33,950 Eddie's other features that you can 1717 00:36:33,950 --> 00:36:36,190 Eddie's other features that you can detect in this photo this is a large 1718 00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:36,200 detect in this photo this is a large 1719 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,920 detect in this photo this is a large area in which are which is experiencing 1720 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:38,930 area in which are which is experiencing 1721 00:36:38,930 --> 00:36:41,650 area in which are which is experiencing a wind gust and the wind blowing over 1722 00:36:41,650 --> 00:36:41,660 a wind gust and the wind blowing over 1723 00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:43,600 a wind gust and the wind blowing over the surface is actually forming some 1724 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:43,610 the surface is actually forming some 1725 00:36:43,610 --> 00:36:44,660 the surface is actually forming some linear waves that you 1726 00:36:44,660 --> 00:36:44,670 linear waves that you 1727 00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:45,980 linear waves that you can actually make out and I was quite 1728 00:36:45,980 --> 00:36:45,990 can actually make out and I was quite 1729 00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:47,690 can actually make out and I was quite surprised that we would be able to 1730 00:36:47,690 --> 00:36:47,700 surprised that we would be able to 1731 00:36:47,700 --> 00:36:50,930 surprised that we would be able to detect that amount of detail from 190 1732 00:36:50,930 --> 00:36:50,940 detect that amount of detail from 190 1733 00:36:50,940 --> 00:36:53,359 detect that amount of detail from 190 miles above the surface and down here in 1734 00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:53,369 miles above the surface and down here in 1735 00:36:53,369 --> 00:36:54,770 miles above the surface and down here in the bottom unfortunately I can't quite 1736 00:36:54,770 --> 00:36:54,780 the bottom unfortunately I can't quite 1737 00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:56,240 the bottom unfortunately I can't quite make it out in the slide but there is a 1738 00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:56,250 make it out in the slide but there is a 1739 00:36:56,250 --> 00:36:58,730 make it out in the slide but there is a ship that is traveling out to sea and 1740 00:36:58,730 --> 00:36:58,740 ship that is traveling out to sea and 1741 00:36:58,740 --> 00:37:01,309 ship that is traveling out to sea and that was another fun thing for me to 1742 00:37:01,309 --> 00:37:01,319 that was another fun thing for me to 1743 00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:02,599 that was another fun thing for me to look out the window and try and look for 1744 00:37:02,599 --> 00:37:02,609 look out the window and try and look for 1745 00:37:02,609 --> 00:37:05,960 look out the window and try and look for ship wakes as I'm not in my former life 1746 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:05,970 ship wakes as I'm not in my former life 1747 00:37:05,970 --> 00:37:07,460 ship wakes as I'm not in my former life I'm still in the Navy and I have a lot 1748 00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:07,470 I'm still in the Navy and I have a lot 1749 00:37:07,470 --> 00:37:08,839 I'm still in the Navy and I have a lot of friends who were out at sea right now 1750 00:37:08,839 --> 00:37:08,849 of friends who were out at sea right now 1751 00:37:08,849 --> 00:37:10,010 of friends who were out at sea right now so I was trying to track down their 1752 00:37:10,010 --> 00:37:10,020 so I was trying to track down their 1753 00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:16,490 so I was trying to track down their boats also as an orbiter pilot once 1754 00:37:16,490 --> 00:37:16,500 boats also as an orbiter pilot once 1755 00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:18,890 boats also as an orbiter pilot once you've got the maneuver kicked off you 1756 00:37:18,890 --> 00:37:18,900 you've got the maneuver kicked off you 1757 00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:21,319 you've got the maneuver kicked off you have a an opportunity to look out the 1758 00:37:21,319 --> 00:37:21,329 have a an opportunity to look out the 1759 00:37:21,329 --> 00:37:23,599 have a an opportunity to look out the window I did that as much as I could and 1760 00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:23,609 window I did that as much as I could and 1761 00:37:23,609 --> 00:37:25,490 window I did that as much as I could and this is my one claim to fame I was 1762 00:37:25,490 --> 00:37:25,500 this is my one claim to fame I was 1763 00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:28,069 this is my one claim to fame I was looking out the window and flight day 6 1764 00:37:28,069 --> 00:37:28,079 looking out the window and flight day 6 1765 00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:29,690 looking out the window and flight day 6 I think it was and we were passing over 1766 00:37:29,690 --> 00:37:29,700 I think it was and we were passing over 1767 00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:32,000 I think it was and we were passing over the Andaman Islands and lo and behold 1768 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,010 the Andaman Islands and lo and behold 1769 00:37:32,010 --> 00:37:34,220 the Andaman Islands and lo and behold saw this plume of smoke and realized we 1770 00:37:34,220 --> 00:37:34,230 saw this plume of smoke and realized we 1771 00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:37,150 saw this plume of smoke and realized we were looking at volcanic activity and 1772 00:37:37,150 --> 00:37:37,160 were looking at volcanic activity and 1773 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,559 were looking at volcanic activity and this is barren island just to the east 1774 00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:39,569 this is barren island just to the east 1775 00:37:39,569 --> 00:37:42,530 this is barren island just to the east of the the Andaman Island chain it had 1776 00:37:42,530 --> 00:37:42,540 of the the Andaman Island chain it had 1777 00:37:42,540 --> 00:37:46,549 of the the Andaman Island chain it had an eruption back in 1991 and it had a 1778 00:37:46,549 --> 00:37:46,559 an eruption back in 1991 and it had a 1779 00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:50,630 an eruption back in 1991 and it had a subsequent eruption in late 1994 and 1780 00:37:50,630 --> 00:37:50,640 subsequent eruption in late 1994 and 1781 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,069 subsequent eruption in late 1994 and they had been tracking that and they 1782 00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:52,079 they had been tracking that and they 1783 00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:53,990 they had been tracking that and they were surprised to see that as is gaining 1784 00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:54,000 were surprised to see that as is gaining 1785 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,599 were surprised to see that as is gaining in momentum at the rate that it is in 1786 00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:56,609 in momentum at the rate that it is in 1787 00:37:56,609 --> 00:37:59,030 in momentum at the rate that it is in the Smithsonian Institution was 1788 00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:59,040 the Smithsonian Institution was 1789 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,130 the Smithsonian Institution was interested in our subsequent 1790 00:38:01,130 --> 00:38:01,140 interested in our subsequent 1791 00:38:01,140 --> 00:38:03,410 interested in our subsequent observations and so any opportunity we 1792 00:38:03,410 --> 00:38:03,420 observations and so any opportunity we 1793 00:38:03,420 --> 00:38:05,420 observations and so any opportunity we had we grabbed the camcorder their arrow 1794 00:38:05,420 --> 00:38:05,430 had we grabbed the camcorder their arrow 1795 00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:08,059 had we grabbed the camcorder their arrow flicks and the house of Bloods and took 1796 00:38:08,059 --> 00:38:08,069 flicks and the house of Bloods and took 1797 00:38:08,069 --> 00:38:11,510 flicks and the house of Bloods and took lots of photos this is a picture of the 1798 00:38:11,510 --> 00:38:11,520 lots of photos this is a picture of the 1799 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,150 lots of photos this is a picture of the mighty Himalayas rooftop to the world 1800 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:14,160 mighty Himalayas rooftop to the world 1801 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,450 mighty Himalayas rooftop to the world and when I was a small boy I had two 1802 00:38:17,450 --> 00:38:17,460 and when I was a small boy I had two 1803 00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:19,099 and when I was a small boy I had two great dreams one of which was to fly in 1804 00:38:19,099 --> 00:38:19,109 great dreams one of which was to fly in 1805 00:38:19,109 --> 00:38:22,010 great dreams one of which was to fly in space and the others to go climbing the 1806 00:38:22,010 --> 00:38:22,020 space and the others to go climbing the 1807 00:38:22,020 --> 00:38:25,430 space and the others to go climbing the Himalayas on an expedition and I think 1808 00:38:25,430 --> 00:38:25,440 Himalayas on an expedition and I think 1809 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,079 Himalayas on an expedition and I think this is certainly the more exciting of 1810 00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:27,089 this is certainly the more exciting of 1811 00:38:27,089 --> 00:38:28,579 this is certainly the more exciting of the expeditions but maybe someday I'll 1812 00:38:28,579 --> 00:38:28,589 the expeditions but maybe someday I'll 1813 00:38:28,589 --> 00:38:30,680 the expeditions but maybe someday I'll get down there but it was amazing from a 1814 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:30,690 get down there but it was amazing from a 1815 00:38:30,690 --> 00:38:32,990 get down there but it was amazing from a couple hundred miles up to look down on 1816 00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:33,000 couple hundred miles up to look down on 1817 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,430 couple hundred miles up to look down on this particular part of the earth and 1818 00:38:34,430 --> 00:38:34,440 this particular part of the earth and 1819 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,579 this particular part of the earth and have a feeling for the great relief in 1820 00:38:37,579 --> 00:38:37,589 have a feeling for the great relief in 1821 00:38:37,589 --> 00:38:39,410 have a feeling for the great relief in the surface of the earth there's you 1822 00:38:39,410 --> 00:38:39,420 the surface of the earth there's you 1823 00:38:39,420 --> 00:38:40,789 the surface of the earth there's you know tens of thousands of feet of 1824 00:38:40,789 --> 00:38:40,799 know tens of thousands of feet of 1825 00:38:40,799 --> 00:38:42,410 know tens of thousands of feet of difference between some of the low-lying 1826 00:38:42,410 --> 00:38:42,420 difference between some of the low-lying 1827 00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:44,630 difference between some of the low-lying areas in the picture and at the top of 1828 00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:44,640 areas in the picture and at the top of 1829 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,819 areas in the picture and at the top of the mountain it's just a really neat 1830 00:38:46,819 --> 00:38:46,829 the mountain it's just a really neat 1831 00:38:46,829 --> 00:38:49,190 the mountain it's just a really neat place to see and we saw an amazing 1832 00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:49,200 place to see and we saw an amazing 1833 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,380 place to see and we saw an amazing variety of terrain you know as Wendy was 1834 00:38:51,380 --> 00:38:51,390 variety of terrain you know as Wendy was 1835 00:38:51,390 --> 00:38:54,260 variety of terrain you know as Wendy was talking about the the ocean surface with 1836 00:38:54,260 --> 00:38:54,270 talking about the the ocean surface with 1837 00:38:54,270 --> 00:38:56,450 talking about the the ocean surface with waves being measured in 1838 00:38:56,450 --> 00:38:56,460 waves being measured in 1839 00:38:56,460 --> 00:38:58,820 waves being measured in tens of feet at the most hundreds of 1840 00:38:58,820 --> 00:38:58,830 tens of feet at the most hundreds of 1841 00:38:58,830 --> 00:39:00,829 tens of feet at the most hundreds of feet and here we have tens of thousands 1842 00:39:00,829 --> 00:39:00,839 feet and here we have tens of thousands 1843 00:39:00,839 --> 00:39:02,120 feet and here we have tens of thousands of feet it's really just a beautiful 1844 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:02,130 of feet it's really just a beautiful 1845 00:39:02,130 --> 00:39:07,849 of feet it's really just a beautiful planet we also saw waves on the surface 1846 00:39:07,849 --> 00:39:07,859 planet we also saw waves on the surface 1847 00:39:07,859 --> 00:39:11,000 planet we also saw waves on the surface of sand and this is in Saudi Arabia and 1848 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,010 of sand and this is in Saudi Arabia and 1849 00:39:11,010 --> 00:39:12,829 of sand and this is in Saudi Arabia and you can see really two prominent types 1850 00:39:12,829 --> 00:39:12,839 you can see really two prominent types 1851 00:39:12,839 --> 00:39:15,440 you can see really two prominent types of terrain here there the the dunes both 1852 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:15,450 of terrain here there the the dunes both 1853 00:39:15,450 --> 00:39:17,380 of terrain here there the the dunes both linear dunes and somewhat circular dunes 1854 00:39:17,380 --> 00:39:17,390 linear dunes and somewhat circular dunes 1855 00:39:17,390 --> 00:39:19,760 linear dunes and somewhat circular dunes separated by areas where you see many 1856 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:19,770 separated by areas where you see many 1857 00:39:19,770 --> 00:39:22,490 separated by areas where you see many many small green spots and those green 1858 00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:22,500 many small green spots and those green 1859 00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:24,260 many small green spots and those green spots are not natural the way the dunes 1860 00:39:24,260 --> 00:39:24,270 spots are not natural the way the dunes 1861 00:39:24,270 --> 00:39:27,470 spots are not natural the way the dunes are that are actually farmers pumping 1862 00:39:27,470 --> 00:39:27,480 are that are actually farmers pumping 1863 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,180 are that are actually farmers pumping water from under the ground up to the 1864 00:39:29,180 --> 00:39:29,190 water from under the ground up to the 1865 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:31,390 water from under the ground up to the surface in center-pivot irrigation and 1866 00:39:31,390 --> 00:39:31,400 surface in center-pivot irrigation and 1867 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,099 surface in center-pivot irrigation and creating very very tiny islands in the 1868 00:39:34,099 --> 00:39:34,109 creating very very tiny islands in the 1869 00:39:34,109 --> 00:39:37,310 creating very very tiny islands in the sand of Agriculture so it's really very 1870 00:39:37,310 --> 00:39:37,320 sand of Agriculture so it's really very 1871 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:42,050 sand of Agriculture so it's really very striking more detailed photographs of 1872 00:39:42,050 --> 00:39:42,060 striking more detailed photographs of 1873 00:39:42,060 --> 00:39:43,700 striking more detailed photographs of Oahu at least that I've ever seen from 1874 00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:43,710 Oahu at least that I've ever seen from 1875 00:39:43,710 --> 00:39:48,170 Oahu at least that I've ever seen from space you can see the of course Pearl 1876 00:39:48,170 --> 00:39:48,180 space you can see the of course Pearl 1877 00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:52,070 space you can see the of course Pearl Harbor and the International Airport and 1878 00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:52,080 Harbor and the International Airport and 1879 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,230 Harbor and the International Airport and you can also see waves breaking on the 1880 00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:54,240 you can also see waves breaking on the 1881 00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:57,020 you can also see waves breaking on the north shore on Oahu just a wonderful 1882 00:39:57,020 --> 00:39:57,030 north shore on Oahu just a wonderful 1883 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:58,490 north shore on Oahu just a wonderful view and I'm hoping to get a little bit 1884 00:39:58,490 --> 00:39:58,500 view and I'm hoping to get a little bit 1885 00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,980 view and I'm hoping to get a little bit closer look up after we land excuse me a 1886 00:40:00,980 --> 00:40:00,990 closer look up after we land excuse me a 1887 00:40:00,990 --> 00:40:06,829 closer look up after we land excuse me a little bit later this year still up 1888 00:40:06,829 --> 00:40:06,839 little bit later this year still up 1889 00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:10,190 little bit later this year still up there in spirit this is one of the views 1890 00:40:10,190 --> 00:40:10,200 there in spirit this is one of the views 1891 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,890 there in spirit this is one of the views we were treated to close to the end of 1892 00:40:12,890 --> 00:40:12,900 we were treated to close to the end of 1893 00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:15,620 we were treated to close to the end of our mission we have of course the 1894 00:40:15,620 --> 00:40:15,630 our mission we have of course the 1895 00:40:15,630 --> 00:40:17,329 our mission we have of course the instrument pointing system doing the 1896 00:40:17,329 --> 00:40:17,339 instrument pointing system doing the 1897 00:40:17,339 --> 00:40:19,010 instrument pointing system doing the fine job it did during the whole flight 1898 00:40:19,010 --> 00:40:19,020 fine job it did during the whole flight 1899 00:40:19,020 --> 00:40:21,260 fine job it did during the whole flight and of course the orbiter performed 1900 00:40:21,260 --> 00:40:21,270 and of course the orbiter performed 1901 00:40:21,270 --> 00:40:23,540 and of course the orbiter performed beautifully our instruments operated 1902 00:40:23,540 --> 00:40:23,550 beautifully our instruments operated 1903 00:40:23,550 --> 00:40:25,820 beautifully our instruments operated very well and you can see in this 1904 00:40:25,820 --> 00:40:25,830 very well and you can see in this 1905 00:40:25,830 --> 00:40:28,790 very well and you can see in this photograph if I can activate the pointer 1906 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:28,800 photograph if I can activate the pointer 1907 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,460 photograph if I can activate the pointer here here's the earth glow it's about 95 1908 00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:31,470 here here's the earth glow it's about 95 1909 00:40:31,470 --> 00:40:32,990 here here's the earth glow it's about 95 kilometers above the surface of the 1910 00:40:32,990 --> 00:40:33,000 kilometers above the surface of the 1911 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,290 kilometers above the surface of the earth oh this is a moonlit view with a 1912 00:40:36,290 --> 00:40:36,300 earth oh this is a moonlit view with a 1913 00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,960 earth oh this is a moonlit view with a wonderful stellar background we were 1914 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:38,970 wonderful stellar background we were 1915 00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:40,310 wonderful stellar background we were just delighted to be part of this 1916 00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:40,320 just delighted to be part of this 1917 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,250 just delighted to be part of this mission very pleased that the orbiter 1918 00:40:43,250 --> 00:40:43,260 mission very pleased that the orbiter 1919 00:40:43,260 --> 00:40:45,980 mission very pleased that the orbiter the instruments and the IPS performs so 1920 00:40:45,980 --> 00:40:45,990 the instruments and the IPS performs so 1921 00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:51,020 the instruments and the IPS performs so beautifully ok and every every flight 1922 00:40:51,020 --> 00:40:51,030 beautifully ok and every every flight 1923 00:40:51,030 --> 00:40:54,500 beautifully ok and every every flight needs to have their sunset photo and to 1924 00:40:54,500 --> 00:40:54,510 needs to have their sunset photo and to 1925 00:40:54,510 --> 00:40:56,570 needs to have their sunset photo and to be perfectly honest with you we don't 1926 00:40:56,570 --> 00:40:56,580 be perfectly honest with you we don't 1927 00:40:56,580 --> 00:40:57,920 be perfectly honest with you we don't really know if this is a sunrise or a 1928 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:57,930 really know if this is a sunrise or a 1929 00:40:57,930 --> 00:40:59,510 really know if this is a sunrise or a sunset 1930 00:40:59,510 --> 00:40:59,520 sunset 1931 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,830 sunset if they really kind of look alike and 1932 00:41:01,830 --> 00:41:01,840 if they really kind of look alike and 1933 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,700 if they really kind of look alike and you get 16 of them each every day and so 1934 00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:05,710 you get 16 of them each every day and so 1935 00:41:05,710 --> 00:41:07,200 you get 16 of them each every day and so there were a lot of them but they're 1936 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:07,210 there were a lot of them but they're 1937 00:41:07,210 --> 00:41:08,820 there were a lot of them but they're pretty quick you gotta you gotta catch 1938 00:41:08,820 --> 00:41:08,830 pretty quick you gotta you gotta catch 1939 00:41:08,830 --> 00:41:11,730 pretty quick you gotta you gotta catch him in a hurry but it is just dazzling 1940 00:41:11,730 --> 00:41:11,740 him in a hurry but it is just dazzling 1941 00:41:11,740 --> 00:41:14,070 him in a hurry but it is just dazzling the amount of detail that she can get 1942 00:41:14,070 --> 00:41:14,080 the amount of detail that she can get 1943 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,620 the amount of detail that she can get looking at the Earth's atmosphere with 1944 00:41:16,620 --> 00:41:16,630 looking at the Earth's atmosphere with 1945 00:41:16,630 --> 00:41:19,740 looking at the Earth's atmosphere with the Sun in the background and we were 1946 00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:19,750 the Sun in the background and we were 1947 00:41:19,750 --> 00:41:21,030 the Sun in the background and we were trying to count the layers of the 1948 00:41:21,030 --> 00:41:21,040 trying to count the layers of the 1949 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,350 trying to count the layers of the atmosphere we finally figured out there 1950 00:41:22,350 --> 00:41:22,360 atmosphere we finally figured out there 1951 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,790 atmosphere we finally figured out there were at least 10 that you could detect 1952 00:41:23,790 --> 00:41:23,800 were at least 10 that you could detect 1953 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,280 were at least 10 that you could detect with the naked eye and and I think you 1954 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:26,290 with the naked eye and and I think you 1955 00:41:26,290 --> 00:41:27,690 with the naked eye and and I think you can probably see at least 10 of them 1956 00:41:27,690 --> 00:41:27,700 can probably see at least 10 of them 1957 00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:29,430 can probably see at least 10 of them here and it's always amazed me that 1958 00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:29,440 here and it's always amazed me that 1959 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,890 here and it's always amazed me that these thunderstorms that usually are 1960 00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:31,900 these thunderstorms that usually are 1961 00:41:31,900 --> 00:41:34,440 these thunderstorms that usually are only 40 or 50 thousand feet high that 1962 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:34,450 only 40 or 50 thousand feet high that 1963 00:41:34,450 --> 00:41:36,060 only 40 or 50 thousand feet high that you can actually see those so very 1964 00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:36,070 you can actually see those so very 1965 00:41:36,070 --> 00:41:39,540 you can actually see those so very clearly with the naked eye in the 1966 00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:39,550 clearly with the naked eye in the 1967 00:41:39,550 --> 00:41:40,980 clearly with the naked eye in the atmosphere with the Sun coming up or 1968 00:41:40,980 --> 00:41:40,990 atmosphere with the Sun coming up or 1969 00:41:40,990 --> 00:41:41,370 atmosphere with the Sun coming up or going down 1970 00:41:41,370 --> 00:41:41,380 going down 1971 00:41:41,380 --> 00:41:43,800 going down it's just a beautiful beautiful way and 1972 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:43,810 it's just a beautiful beautiful way and 1973 00:41:43,810 --> 00:41:45,210 it's just a beautiful beautiful way and it can actually distract you from what 1974 00:41:45,210 --> 00:41:45,220 it can actually distract you from what 1975 00:41:45,220 --> 00:41:46,350 it can actually distract you from what you're supposed to be doing if you're 1976 00:41:46,350 --> 00:41:46,360 you're supposed to be doing if you're 1977 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:50,550 you're supposed to be doing if you're not careful it is so fantastic
