10
00:01:43,580 --> 00:01:41,310
notice the crew has dog dog food bowls

11
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:43,590
in front of them they've dubbed

12
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:45,960
themselves the dog crew and they've had

13
00:01:52,820 --> 00:01:48,660
a lot of fun with that title and just

14
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:52,830
each of them have a dog name and this is

15
00:01:58,969 --> 00:01:55,110
just a fun thing that the crews decided

16
00:02:01,810 --> 00:01:58,979
to do the cake in the Sun of the table

17
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:01,820
traditional cake has the STS 69 emblem

18
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:04,890
the insignia reflects the multi-faceted

19
00:02:08,690 --> 00:02:06,960
objectives of the mission we've got more

20
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:08,700
than 60 experiments and pieces of

21
00:02:19,130 --> 00:02:10,950
hardware to be tested covering almost

22
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,140
every scientific discipline this is

23
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:21,120
shuttle launch control at t-minus three

24
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:24,090
hours and holding we now have the flight

25
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:25,769
crew getting into their launch and entry

26
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:29,400

00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:53,190
side of the orbiter systems and vehicle

36
00:03:04,980 --> 00:02:55,260
maneuvers as required by the payload

37
00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:06,960
Kru does need assistance getting into

38
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:13,060
their gear it's quite cumbersome and the

39
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:14,560
checks are made the suit technicians

40
00:03:19,290 --> 00:03:15,970
make checks other suits to make sure

41
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:19,300
they're functioning properly they filled

he's signifying he's ready to go for STS

60
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:41,900
69 also in in the crew suit-up room was

61
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:44,100
astronaut Bob Cabana who would be flying

62
00:04:48,530 --> 00:04:46,290
in the t-38 and the shuttle training

63
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:48,540
aircraft later this morning checking out

64
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:50,970
actual conditions for the weather here

65
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,590
in Florida crew is scheduled to be

66
00:05:05,519 --> 00:04:57,600
leaving the operations and check-out

67
00:05:10,889 --> 00:05:08,309
all of the communication systems and

68
00:05:12,509 --> 00:05:10,899
headset gear inside of their spaces are

69
00:05:14,219 --> 00:05:12,519
checked out to make sure they're

70
00:05:27,119 --> 00:05:14,229
operating properly before the crew heads

71
00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:27,129
out to the launch pad this is shuttle

72
00:05:32,729 --> 00:05:29,529
launch control we've got the STS 69

73
00:05:53,710 --> 00:05:32,739
flight crew getting ready to depart the

74
00:06:19,689 --> 00:05:55,660
we have to member David Walker a pilot

75
00:06:19,699 --> 00:06:27,659
and the crews now in the astronaut van

76
00:06:31,809 --> 00:06:29,830
will be walking across their obiter

77
00:06:36,339 --> 00:06:31,819
access arm to get to the white room

78
00:06:38,019 --> 00:06:36,349

79
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:38,029
it's very quiet here in the firing room

80
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:39,710
the launch team not tracking any

81
00:06:47,249 --> 00:06:43,610
technical issues weather conditions are

82
00:06:50,140 --> 00:06:47,259
very very nice at the current time and

83
00:06:52,179 --> 00:06:50,150
concern is that as the temperatures heat

84
00:06:54,429 --> 00:06:52,189
up that would cause some cloudiness and

85
00:06:56,830 --> 00:06:54,439
possible rain in the area commander

commander David Walker in the complex

95
00:07:25,950 --> 00:07:24,430
and delicate maneuvers endeavour must

96
00:07:27,779 --> 00:07:25,960
make during the deploy rendezvous and

97
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:27,789
retrieval operations of the wake shield

98
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:39,930
this is shuttle launch control at 2

99
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:48,540
just heard commander Walker performing
