1
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:21,109
well the spirit of 76 the uh the kind of

2
00:00:25,509 --> 00:00:23,519
the motto of this crew and and the

3
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:25,519
spirit behind the flight has been one of

4
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:26,480
teamwork

5
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:31,279
amongst the crew members to execute the

6
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:32,960
difficult portions of this flight be it

7
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:34,160
the rendezvous

8
00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:36,880
the transfer operations the eva

9
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:38,480
all the spectacular first that took

10
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:39,440
place

11
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:42,000
but the teamwork didn't end with the

12
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,600
crew it certainly in fact had its

13
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,200
beginnings its origins with the folks

14
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:47,039
sitting in this room and all the people

15
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,039
here at the johnson space center took a

16
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:51,600
great team a great team effort to pull

17
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:54,800
off sts 76 and make it look easy i've

18
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:56,559
had more people come up to me and say

19
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:57,760
gosh it looks like you're having a lot

20
00:01:02,709 --> 00:00:59,199
of fun up there

21
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:02,719
the mission was such a great success

22
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,799
those things don't happen by accident

23
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,000
they happen because of a lot of

24
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,159
dedicated hard work that's done by each

25
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:10,320
and every person in this room and other

26
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:11,360
folks on this center that were

27
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:12,400
associated

28
00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:15,680
with making sts-76 a reality so on

29
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:17,040
behalf of the crew i'd like to begin

30
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:19,040
today by thanking each and every one of

31
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,000
you here

32
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,640
you're all award winners in my mind and

33
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,400
we really appreciate you coming over

34
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:25,680
coming over here today and doing the

35
00:01:30,070 --> 00:01:27,280
great work that you do day in and day

36
00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:30,080
out at the johnson space center

37
00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:32,000
well now i'd kind of like to transition

38
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:34,560
into the home movie side of the uh of

39
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:36,799
the adventure

40
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,240
i want you to know there's a premiere of

41
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,880
this of this picture we've looked at

42
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,880
edited versions so i'm as excited as you

43
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:44,240
are to watch what happens here as we

44
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:53,109
this was the evening before launch

45
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,640
and you can see it we couldn't ask for

46
00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,000
better weather once the winds calmed

47
00:02:00,950 --> 00:01:58,240
down on the 21st the 22nd turned out to

48
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:00,960
be a spectacular night to go fly

49
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:03,759
with a all bid an ungodly hour to lift

50
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,399
off at at 3 13 in the morning

51
00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:08,640
here we are walking out of the uh

52
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:10,160
crew quarters and i was surprised you

53
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,920
may have seen me jerk my hand to the

54
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:13,440
side with surprises i saw a member of

55
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:15,040
our training team standing there smiling

56
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:16,400
at us so we had a lot of support from

57
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:18,720
johnson down there for the launch

58
00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:20,080
i don't care how many times you sit on

59
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,160
top of this thing these few seconds that

60
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:24,319
you're witnessing here are are something

61
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,360
that

62
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:27,040
you can never really be fully prepared

63
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:28,000
for

64
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,520
the power of the space shuttle main

65
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,120
engines as they throttle up on the pad

66
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,879
in those final six seconds

67
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:34,879
and that feeling in your heart the

68
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:36,080
bottom of your heart that you know good

69
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:37,440
and well you're going someplace in a

70
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,200
hurry here momentarily

71
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:41,280
is uh is one that

72
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:43,680
will be always part of my memory

73
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:45,200
i've never experienced the night launch

74
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,560
and as you can see from the lift off

75
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:48,239
it's incredibly bright

76
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:49,920
as we've cleared the tower i watched the

77
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:51,200
tower go by

78
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:52,879
it was like daytime looking out the left

79
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,440
window and uh during the later stages of

80
00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:57,360
ascent i got to witness

81
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:00,000
post solid rocket motor separation here

82
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:02,000
the experience of seeing out the front

83
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:03,760
window of the orbiter pulsating lights

84
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:05,840
from the main engines in the rear so you

85
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:07,280
are really kind of in a little glow

86
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,440
there a little lighted glow as you

87
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:11,920
proceed uphill toward main engine cutoff

88
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:20,550
okay and uh you can see us opening the

89
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:22,080
payload bay doors here and this is sped

90
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,680
up a bit by the way so it doesn't take

91
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,440
so long in the film but uh that's always

92
00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:26,959
a relief to get on orbit get a go to

93
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,879
stay on orbit and open the doors the

94
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:30,480
next morning on flight day two after

95
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:32,560
going through the internal airlock and

96
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,120
down the tunnel uh we got to the uh the

97
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:37,280
hatch for uh the space hab and here ron

98
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:38,959
and i are open then opening that on our

99
00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,720
second morning first real morning on

100
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:42,720
orbit our second day to get ready to

101
00:03:46,149 --> 00:03:44,239
open up the hab and activate it and

102
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:46,159
start start operations back there and

103
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:47,680
this was a very busy place during the

104
00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:49,760
mission as we flowed into it here you

105
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:51,280
can see that there was a lot of stowage

106
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:53,040
back here there's some new soft storage

107
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,560
bags up on the wall first time they've

108
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:56,319
ever flown those were developed for a

109
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:57,360
lot of the equipment that we had to

110
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:59,120
transfer to mirror you just saw the gyro

111
00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:00,959
dying on the right side and

112
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:03,599
this panning view shows uh the bio rack

113
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:05,040
and the glove box

114
00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:07,200
so between the bio rack and all the

115
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:09,040
transfer operations back here that went

116
00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:10,480
on while we were docked it was a busy

117
00:04:13,509 --> 00:04:11,439
place

118
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,519
and back up on the flight deck rick is

119
00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:15,200
uh taking a look at the camera mounted

120
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,799
up there that's our electronic camera

121
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,959
for kid sat we left it the window during

122
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:20,400
the undock times

123
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:22,800
it took digitized images of the earth

124
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:24,240
and made them available to the students

125
00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:25,520
on the ground who were controlling the

126
00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:27,199
camera

127
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,759
uh this is a view of florida from kidsat

128
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:31,600
and i want to emphasize that we really

129
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:33,520
began the rendezvous portion of this

130
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:35,040
mission right from launch as we launched

131
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:38,560
into a lower catch-up orbit on mir

132
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,280
and as we prepared on flight day two our

133
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:43,120
particular role in the rendezvous got

134
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:45,280
closer and closer to mir

135
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:46,720
but we didn't really get the good video

136
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,160
of course until we got

137
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:50,400
within a thousand feet or so this is

138
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:52,400
looking out the ods center line up at

139
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:53,840
the mirror as we're approaching from

140
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:54,880
underneath

141
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:57,280
this is the mirror view what they saw as

142
00:05:01,030 --> 00:04:58,400
they were looking down at the space

143
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:01,040
shuttle atlantis passing over the earth

144
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:02,720
we included a couple of views of the

145
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,960
crew activities in the flight deck chile

146
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,560
at the ash station flying the vehicle

147
00:05:10,150 --> 00:05:08,800
rich assisting him and i was bobbing in

148
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:10,160
and out of the field of view there

149
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:12,400
working the computers and assisting in

150
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,720
my particular role

151
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:16,880
this is a view of the mir space station

152
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:19,680
as we passed from across the terminator

153
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:21,039
from sun

154
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,960
sunlit portion of the planet to the back

155
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:25,120
side and it was very interesting to see

156
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:26,160
that

157
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:28,000
with the running lights mir was very

158
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:29,840
visible and it was quite bright even on

159
00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:31,840
the dark side of the planet

160
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,160
well as we as this process continued of

161
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:36,639
the rendezvous and approach up the r bar

162
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:38,800
got closer and closer to mirror and

163
00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:41,120
again this was sped up too and

164
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:43,039
part of that intent was to make it flow

165
00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:44,479
quicker in the movie but an added side

166
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:46,080
benefit is it makes the commander look

167
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,520
even better because it looks like it's

168
00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:50,000
really going fast

169
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:51,919
but chilidish did a phenomenal job

170
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,600
flying the space shuttle up to the

171
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:55,360
mirror and you can see this is the end

172
00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:56,720
game here this is where it all comes

173
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:57,759
together

174
00:06:01,110 --> 00:05:59,440
and hitting those critical docking

175
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:01,120
parameters

176
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:02,720
the target of course is shown on the

177
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,960
right on this split screen image

178
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,400
we really did get that

179
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:08,720
jostle as we made contact and had the

180
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:10,960
post contact thrusting firing

181
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:12,000
and then

182
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,840
i must confess to a little bit of relief

183
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:15,759
in the cockpit once we

184
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,319
reach that milestone their chili's being

185
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:20,479
congratulated by rich and it's on to

186
00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:22,319
docked activities rich we're given a

187
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:24,080
panorama of the the mirror complex

188
00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:25,680
starting with the docking module here

189
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,199
and now you're looking through the aft

190
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:29,120
cockpit i'll refer back to the target

191
00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:30,800
you just saw we confirmed after we

192
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,639
docked that no fly-out was required uh

193
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:34,880
thank you melis but

194
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:37,120
it's a beautiful this thing is the smear

195
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:38,720
complex is really large and i have

196
00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:40,880
memories of standing back in the ods

197
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:42,319
looking up through the tunnel and

198
00:06:45,830 --> 00:06:43,759
thinking that it was at least 300 feet

199
00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:45,840
up to the mirror complex here's a view

200
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:47,759
of the initial hatch opening

201
00:06:52,150 --> 00:06:50,800
from the russian side of course

202
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,160
and you're going to see a couple of

203
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,880
happy faces here between yuri anafranko

204
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,199
and kevin chilton

205
00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:59,440
tremendous tremendous relief once you

206
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,120
get there and you

207
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:03,360
join up and realize that uh that's a

208
00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,800
excellent place to be there's some good

209
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:06,639
work going on up there and felt like

210
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:16,309
neither one of those guys were happy

211
00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:18,080
and of course shannon she felt at home

212
00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:19,759
the minute she got there and they put

213
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,440
her right to work she uh she was one of

214
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:23,280
the experts in the transfer activities

215
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:24,400
and that's

216
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:25,840
no small part due to the preparation we

217
00:07:31,189 --> 00:07:29,830
and here we're getting ready for the

218
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:31,199
welcoming ceremony one of the official

219
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:33,280
pao acts uh due to a small

220
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,639
miscoordination we had the flags in the

221
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:36,560
wrong location so you're going to see uh

222
00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:38,960
yuri ushev bringing the american flag

223
00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:40,800
into the docking module base or not the

224
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:42,160
docking module but the base block for

225
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:43,199
the

226
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:50,240
items that we gave to our russian

227
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,720
crewmates they both have a love for

228
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:54,240
children and the future of space

229
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:56,080
exploration so some of the gifts that we

230
00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:57,280
gave them were

231
00:08:03,589 --> 00:08:00,000
space books for their children and

232
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:05,990
and here you see the gift exchange

233
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:07,440
some of the books bought right here in

234
00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:22,950
well i think i need to pick up here

235
00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:24,840
right with the transfers that you run i

236
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,639
think honestly

237
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:28,960
there's a rich and rick taking off a

238
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,080
docking ring from a gyrodyne we

239
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:34,640
brought up a new one and brought

240
00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:37,360
back a used one we also transferred

241
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,320
nearly 1500 pounds of water this is a

242
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:43,039
byproduct of the shuttle's power system

243
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:43,839
so

244
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:45,760
we removed iodine and

245
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:48,080
iodine from our system and supplied

246
00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:49,519
minerals and biocide and then

247
00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:52,399
transferred these water bags to the mir

248
00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:54,320
space station

249
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:57,040
this is going through the shuttle side

250
00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:58,560
there's some empty food containers which

251
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:00,240
we returned

252
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:03,120
to earth from the mir station

253
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:04,560
and finally working our way to the

254
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:06,000
docking module

255
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:07,600
there's temporary stowage in the white

256
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,000
mesh bags of food containers

257
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,480
containing many of the supplies that

258
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:14,320
will help shannon in urine yuri in the

259
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,000
in the coming months

260
00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:18,399
we transferred nearly two tons of

261
00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:21,200
science hardware over and nearly one ton

262
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:23,519
back this is a cooler system used for

263
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:25,519
navigation on the approach and docking

264
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:26,959
for the russian system that will be

265
00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:29,200
brought back and refurbished

266
00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:31,279
we also needed to keep track of the

267
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:32,959
items that went over

268
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:34,640
to mir and those that were returning

269
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:36,959
back to earth so chile and i are making

270
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:38,560
sure that we have

271
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:40,320
all of the items in our inventory

272
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,040
management system in order the blue box

273
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,800
on the left hand side is a refrigerator

274
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:46,720
freezer in which we brought back urine

275
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:49,360
blood and saliva samples the glove box

276
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:50,800
in which linda is working is where we

277
00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,920
carried on

278
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,760
some of the technology development as

279
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:56,160
well as fundamental biology

280
00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,000
for a joint effort between the u.s and

281
00:10:01,910 --> 00:10:00,080
several european countries

282
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:01,920
here are lentil seeds and the

283
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:04,720
investigation here is for statosite

284
00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:07,040
polarity we had several

285
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:09,839
experiments in in biology the middeck is

286
00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:12,720
where we had lunch with the amir 21 crew

287
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,600
on dock day we went over for dinner in

288
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,160
the base block of mir

289
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,160
to enjoy russian food

290
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:22,720
each night if we had a chance we sent

291
00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:24,320
mail messages

292
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:26,320
by way of a laptop computer you see

293
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:28,000
shannon doing just that

294
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:30,160
back to her family on three separate

295
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:32,560
days we saw the comet many of you may

296
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,000
have seen it here

297
00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:36,320
hokitaki in which it was very bright and

298
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,000
rich was the first to notice that and on

299
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:40,800
subsequent days we kept track of the

300
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:43,519
comet now the eva activities think linda

301
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,640
well

302
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,480
ron is helping rich and i get suited up

303
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:48,079
here in the airlock we're getting pretty

304
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:49,519
close to getting into our pre-breathe

305
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:52,079
timeline and following that we uh

306
00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:53,680
we get ready to go out the hatch we had

307
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:54,959
a lot of room inside because we had an

308
00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:57,360
airlock and a docking adapter and uh

309
00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:58,880
came out of the hatch on the docking

310
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,959
adapter our first job was to install

311
00:11:04,949 --> 00:11:02,880
some clamps on the handrails to deploy

312
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:04,959
the experiment packages later and then

313
00:11:08,389 --> 00:11:06,800
our task was to move to a camera to

314
00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:08,399
remove it on the docking module and this

315
00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:10,720
was used on sts-74

316
00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:12,399
when they docked with mirror and then

317
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:13,920
when they left the docking module there

318
00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:16,320
the camera was left there also so one of

319
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,680
our tasks was to remove it and bring it

320
00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:20,000
back to earth

321
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:21,920
and i took some of the smaller items

322
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,360
back and here you see rich he's

323
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,279
translating with the camera itself which

324
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:27,360
is is rather large and he was being very

325
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:29,120
careful of that as he shepherded it back

326
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:30,880
to the the tunnel adapter where he

327
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:32,800
stowed it temporarily back inside we

328
00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:35,120
were finished with the eva

329
00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:36,640
here you see uh linda and myself

330
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:38,560
removing one of the four meat containers

331
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,480
for installation into the onto some

332
00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:42,480
clamps on the docking module

333
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:43,760
we tested out some new tools and

334
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:45,680
equipment for use on the ultimate

335
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:47,440
international space station the ridgid

336
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,040
tether and the multiple use tether which

337
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,040
we use to transport the the meeps to

338
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,360
their work site and install them into

339
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:54,959
the clamps here you're going to see one

340
00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:57,200
of those activities and then

341
00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,399
one of the funnest things that linda and

342
00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:00,160
i had to do were the deployment of the

343
00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:02,000
meeps and you're going to see that here

344
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,440
it's so much easier to do up there you

345
00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:05,120
just give it a little flick and it uh

346
00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:07,200
flies around and i'm sure that this is

347
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:10,560
real time instead of sped up but

348
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:11,360
but

349
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:13,200
tremendously

350
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:15,440
finely defined the designed hardware

351
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:17,360
that worked well in flight and we can

352
00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:19,279
learn a lot from the folks at langley

353
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,800
and our own engineering director here

354
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:22,399
that helped design the hardware for this

355
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:24,880
particular eva it all worked well and we

356
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:27,200
deployed this one here is meep number

357
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:28,639
four i believe

358
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:30,800
the meep experiments are orbital debris

359
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,629
well this is my cue for my second come

360
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:42,160
in uh after

361
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,760
really a whirlwind and flurry of

362
00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,440
activity over several days we were all

363
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:47,839
very uh very sad to get ready to to

364
00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:49,440
depart the mere space station this is

365
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:51,600
the farewell ceremony and i think i can

366
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:53,519
speak for the rest of the crew

367
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:54,880
certainly for me it was the most

368
00:12:58,629 --> 00:12:56,880
emotion-filled moment that i'd had in

369
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:58,639
orbit in two missions

370
00:13:01,509 --> 00:12:59,920
of course saying goodbye to shannon

371
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:01,519
there's chile giving her a hug and

372
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:03,360
wishing her well for her

373
00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:05,360
long stay up there until

374
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:08,160
79 goes back to pick her up

375
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:10,880
on ndoc day we again were very busy on

376
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:14,160
that day similarly to the docking day

377
00:13:17,829 --> 00:13:15,440
we prepared

378
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:17,839
configuration wise this orbiter and

379
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:21,040
mirror complex to separate and

380
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:22,399
very shortly here we'll see that

381
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,720
separation sequence and leading into the

382
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:26,720
fly around

383
00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:29,040
this is chilly waving goodbye to his uh

384
00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,720
buddies over there the mir-21 crew

385
00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:32,399
including shannon

386
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:34,959
the russians were very kind to ship down

387
00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:37,680
this video which then came from soup to

388
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:40,639
mcc and uh enabled us to put it in our

389
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:43,120
crew movie in a very timely fashion

390
00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:44,480
separation here

391
00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:46,000
again sped up

392
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:48,320
we were

393
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:50,160
as i mentioned before very sad to leave

394
00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:52,320
and wish we could have stayed longer and

395
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:54,320
been up there with our friends

396
00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:56,720
the separate the initial separation burn

397
00:14:03,110 --> 00:13:58,880
a couple of uh low z

398
00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:03,120
uh pulses out to get going and

399
00:14:12,189 --> 00:14:11,030
and as we continue to fly out we assumed

400
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:12,199
a range of

401
00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:15,760
450 to 550 feet targeted to conduct this

402
00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:18,079
fly around of the mirror which i was

403
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:20,399
privileged to fly and it's been for me

404
00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:22,000
one of the most professionally rewarding

405
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:23,519
things i've ever done but at the same

406
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:25,040
time

407
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:26,880
in the background of my mind also a very

408
00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:29,680
emotionally charged event

409
00:14:33,269 --> 00:14:31,120
this video will

410
00:14:35,829 --> 00:14:33,279
share some of what we saw from on orbit

411
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:35,839
which was just absolutely outstanding

412
00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:36,720
and

413
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:38,720
flabbergasting really to see this

414
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:41,120
orbiting complex out our windows and

415
00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:42,959
here in this particular case to see

416
00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:44,800
video shot from the mirror

417
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:46,800
of america's greatest technology

418
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,320
achievement ever a space shuttle in

419
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:50,880
orbit doing what it does best

420
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:53,040
this is a view of the mir space station

421
00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:55,600
over the great barrier reef

422
00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:56,959
right after we

423
00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:00,320
gave the ku antenna to calm to send tv

424
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:01,600
down this is the first picture that came

425
00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:03,600
down to the ground and this particular

426
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:05,680
view is as we the mirror passes through

427
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:07,600
the horizon approaching the terminator

428
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:09,519
and no it is not a model we saw it with

429
00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:11,040
our own eyes and

430
00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:12,639
that's what it was and it was

431
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:16,079
outstandingly beautiful with the backlit

432
00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:17,519
view and something that i will always

433
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:26,629
well it's coming home time now and uh

434
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,040
ron did a bang-up job shooting these

435
00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:31,360
scenes uh that that little uh camcorder

436
00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:34,160
that he holds there's a self shot on the

437
00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:36,000
way down starts weighing zero at the

438
00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:37,519
start of re-entry then it starts feeling

439
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:38,959
like it weighs a ton on the way down so

440
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:40,399
he did a great job shooting this this is

441
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:42,320
out the overhead window as we're coming

442
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:44,000
in through the re-entry and you can see

443
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:45,120
the plasma

444
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:47,120
trail behind the orbiter there pulsates

445
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:48,399
like that and literally lights the

446
00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:50,320
cockpit up and with flashes as you come

447
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:51,040
down

448
00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:52,560
out the front window you just get a nice

449
00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:55,440
steady pink and orangish glow as you go

450
00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:56,880
through the maximum heating and here we

451
00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:58,560
are in a roll reversal

452
00:16:01,749 --> 00:16:00,399
one of three that we did as we lined up

453
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:01,759
for our approach at edwards air force

454
00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:03,920
base rather unique long range shot here

455
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:05,680
where you can actually see the rcs jets

456
00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,160
firing in the tail of the shuttle as we

457
00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:10,320
decelerated through around mach 2

458
00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:12,000
approaching edwards to keep help keep

459
00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:13,759
the nose pointed forward

460
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:14,880
and

461
00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:17,920
because officially the sun hadn't come

462
00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,790
but it sure was a pretty time of day to

463
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:25,199
land it was just uh the xenons were on

464
00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:26,560
but you really didn't need them you

465
00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:28,079
could see the ground just fine and uh

466
00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:29,680
that there wasn't hardly a breath of

467
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:31,519
wind in the air it was real calm smooth

468
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:32,560
skies

469
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:35,600
and uh it and it just you know you you

470
00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:36,880
knew what you were flying the space

471
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:38,240
shuttle was responding just so

472
00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:41,120
beautifully uh it really uh really flew

473
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:44,000
uh marvelously and was a joy to bring in

474
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:45,440
for a landing

475
00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,880
rick go ahead and punched out the

476
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:48,959
landing gear for us on time and then

477
00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:51,040
the drag chute and the timing was just

478
00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:53,120
right on that and cushioned the nose

479
00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:55,199
slapped down as as we came

480
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:00,470
and i think i'll quote andy allen from

481
00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:02,800
sts75 there's there's no better feeling

482
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:04,720
than that call wheel stop particularly

483
00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:06,319
when you know you know you've done your

484
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:07,439
job

485
00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:09,439
you've done the best you can and now

486
00:17:13,029 --> 00:17:11,439
it's it's over and it's time to turn

487
00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:13,039
turn the vehicle over to the folks at

488
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:16,240
kennedy to get it ready to start

489
00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:18,000
back through the same process all over

490
00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,839
again to go up and retrieve shane on

491
00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:21,280
sts-79

492
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,799
if i look a little uh confused here at

493
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:24,400
the end i was doing a nose count and i

494
00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:27,839
came up one short during the walk around

495
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:29,440
but but i was assured that that was the

496
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,720
right answer

497
00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:32,480
so

498
00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:34,160
everybody felt terrific after the flight

499
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:35,360
and it was certainly good to get back

500
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:36,799
home to family and friends and to you

501
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:41,350
uh we'll ask rick to go ahead and

502
00:17:44,789 --> 00:17:43,280
narrate them as they come up so please

503
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:44,799
uh enjoy them

504
00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:46,000
thanks joey

505
00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:47,919
of course our crew patched there and i

506
00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:50,799
might add rich's uh son brandon who's a

507
00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:53,120
seventh grader was largely responsible

508
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,720
for the artwork and the concept for this

509
00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:56,080
patch and we really appreciate his

510
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:58,000
artistic talents and what he contributed

511
00:18:02,950 --> 00:17:58,799
to

512
00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:02,960
significant or symbolic in the sense

513
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:05,200
that we not only receive great support

514
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:07,200
from johnson space center and

515
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:08,640
every and kennedy space center and

516
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,840
everyone that supports the shuttle

517
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,440
program but from our families as well

518
00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:13,440
and i know speaking for myself i could

519
00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:14,799
not have

520
00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:16,320
done my part in this mission without

521
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:18,720
this loving support from my home my wife

522
00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,110
this is a view as we're

523
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:26,960
approaching the mir space station again

524
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:28,799
atlantis and all her orbital glory with

525
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:31,200
the payload bay doors open there just

526
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:32,160
uh

527
00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:33,760
this was one of the few times that i

528
00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:35,200
wished i could have stayed on board

529
00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:36,720
mirror for a long duration to see what

530
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:39,039
the orbiter looked like in its entirety

531
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,960
we were fortunate enough to get some

532
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:42,880
views this is a view that we could see

533
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:45,360
out of one of the living quarter

534
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,679
portholes on board the mirror of our

535
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:49,200
spaceship and it's kind of a strange

536
00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:51,280
feeling to make that translation across

537
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:53,360
that interface and know that you're in

538
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:54,880
another orbiting vehicle even though

539
00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,880
you're all tied together and look out

540
00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:58,799
the window and see this

541
00:19:03,990 --> 00:18:59,919
incredible

542
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:06,230
and this is a view of

543
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:08,000
the soyuz is up in the upper left hand

544
00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:11,760
corner attached to the covant one and

545
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:13,440
the base block and some i think there's

546
00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:15,280
some solar arrays down there in the

547
00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:17,120
lower left hand corner but we include

548
00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:19,120
this particular view because of that

549
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:22,000
beautiful effect you get with that rosy

550
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:23,360
changing to gold and then finally

551
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:25,360
changing to darkness as you pass from

552
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:26,799
the day side of the planet into the

553
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:31,190
another view

554
00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:33,440
for those of you who are geography buffs

555
00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:36,000
you probably realized right away that

556
00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:37,679
in the field of view kind of in the

557
00:19:41,510 --> 00:19:40,400
center right is the sinai peninsula

558
00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:41,520
and one of the things that i found

559
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:43,200
particularly interesting from a

560
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:45,520
photographic point of view is

561
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:46,960
taking pictures of the earth while

562
00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:48,720
framing them up and trying to get a good

563
00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:50,640
composition with the lines and angles of

564
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:52,799
the solar arrays and the space station

565
00:19:56,950 --> 00:19:54,400
itself it really is

566
00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:56,960
just uh as a space shuttle is a

567
00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:59,039
beautiful beautiful sight on orbit the

568
00:20:02,230 --> 00:20:00,480
mirror is really quite striking and

569
00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:02,240
beautiful on orbit as well the colors

570
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:03,919
are just incredible once you get up

571
00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:06,720
there in the vacuum and clarity of space

572
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:09,360
a view on the fly around that's the

573
00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:11,520
northern tip of the south island of new

574
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,679
zealand just to the right of the mir and

575
00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:15,360
of course the deep blue waters of the

576
00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:22,470
again a view of mir at the horizon as we

577
00:20:31,909 --> 00:20:29,590
we wanted to wrap up our last few slides

578
00:20:33,029 --> 00:20:31,919
just to show the two crews the people

579
00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:33,039
that were

580
00:20:37,029 --> 00:20:35,280
very fortunate and blessed to be the

581
00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:37,039
flight crew members of this particular

582
00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:38,240
mission

583
00:20:41,430 --> 00:20:40,000
here's the mere 21 crew and of course

584
00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:41,440
shannon is going to be in both of these

585
00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:42,559
pictures but

586
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:44,559
we can't say enough good about the

587
00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:46,559
opportunities we've had as

588
00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:49,039
american astronauts to work with our

589
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:51,280
cosmonaut colleagues in this case

590
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,760
yuriana franco and yuri usachev they're

591
00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:55,520
professionals in every sense of the word

592
00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:58,320
and wonderful guys and uh

593
00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:59,679
just shannon's gonna have a great time

594
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:01,120
flying with them and working with them

595
00:21:07,430 --> 00:21:04,240
in this cooperative venture

596
00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:07,440
finally this is the sts-76 crew up until
