1 00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:13,799 the first thing I'd like to do here now 2 00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:17,920 is to reintroduce my crew on my right is 3 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:21,250 Scott Horowitz the mission pilot to his 4 00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:23,050 right is Joe Tanner one of our space 5 00:00:28,859 --> 00:00:26,470 walkers next to him is Steve Hawley this 6 00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:28,869 was Steve's fourth flight next to him is 7 00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:31,480 Greg Harbaugh another one of our space 8 00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:34,510 walkers his right is Mark Lee our 9 00:00:38,610 --> 00:00:37,120 payload commander and on the end is 10 00:00:40,830 --> 00:00:38,620 Steve Smith the youngest member of the 11 00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:40,840 crew this was Steve's second flight the 12 00:00:46,110 --> 00:00:43,390 goal of our mission was to fly up to the 13 00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:46,120 Hubble Space Telescope retrieve it 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:47,769 mounted in the Bay on the servicing 15 00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:51,010 structure perform for Evie A's 16 00:00:57,450 --> 00:00:53,769 that were planned to replace some of the 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:57,460 major science instruments with modern 18 00:01:00,569 --> 00:00:58,690 technology that would allow the 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:00,579 telescope to return more data at a 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:03,730 faster rate and also to replace some of 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:05,170 the electronic components of the 22 00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:05,890 telescope 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:08,620 we were able to do more than was planned 24 00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:11,170 if you include the mo I repairs that 25 00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:14,320 were a late addition during the flight 26 00:01:20,670 --> 00:01:17,830 the success of the mission is directly 27 00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:20,680 attributable to thousands of people here 28 00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:22,390 on the ground people who plan the flight 29 00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:25,540 people who prepared the hardware and the 30 00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:27,700 people who trained the the folks on the 31 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:30,760 ground in Mission Control and who helped 32 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:33,550 us train as a crew and we were really 33 00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:35,920 happy to be the ones that got to go up 34 00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:38,560 and see the telescope up close we had a 35 00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:39,820 lot of fun and we saw some beautiful 36 00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:42,550 sights we brought a movie with us today 37 00:01:46,110 --> 00:01:44,440 and some slides too to try and share 38 00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:46,120 some of that with you so if we could get 39 00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:49,470 the lights down and and start the movie 40 00:01:54,390 --> 00:01:52,750 something that was great for me as the 41 00:01:57,630 --> 00:01:54,400 commander of this flight was not only 42 00:01:59,520 --> 00:01:57,640 did we launch on time we launched two 43 00:02:01,440 --> 00:01:59,530 days earlier than the initial scheduled 44 00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:01,450 date when I was assigned as the mission 45 00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:04,630 commander it started here at about 46 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:06,280 midnight as we walked out of the crew 47 00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:10,319 quarters and manned up the Astro van and 48 00:02:16,589 --> 00:02:13,209 a few hours later the main engines lit 49 00:02:17,850 --> 00:02:16,599 to take us on up into orbit you feel 50 00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:17,860 that rumble of the engines when they 51 00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:19,420 light outside but you're not really sure 52 00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:21,190 till the SRBs light then there's a 53 00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:22,600 tremendous bright 54 00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:24,220 light reflecting off of the launch 55 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:25,780 platform it looks like somebody's 56 00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:27,850 welding right outside your window and 57 00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:30,310 then you feel the kick in your back and 58 00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:33,190 you know you're off and as you can see 59 00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:34,480 we go through the clouds here at about 60 00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,120 3000 feet I guess both a little concern 61 00:02:41,610 --> 00:02:39,280 with weather but pretty soon we're VFR 62 00:02:45,390 --> 00:02:41,620 on top and we're off on our way to space 63 00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:45,400 SRBs are kind of a bumpy ride you're 64 00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:46,750 getting shook around it's interesting 65 00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:48,400 around Mach 3 it smoothed out and then 66 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:51,550 shortly thereafter the SRB Sep and folks 67 00:02:55,590 --> 00:02:53,110 on the ground at night got this 68 00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:55,600 beautiful view of the two SRBs as they 69 00:02:58,890 --> 00:02:57,190 tailed off and stepped from the orbiter 70 00:03:02,810 --> 00:02:58,900 and looked kind of like a point of light 71 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:02,820 like a star going off into into orbit 72 00:03:08,670 --> 00:03:05,770 once we got to orbit the real work on 73 00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:08,680 the mission started opening the payload 74 00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:10,300 bay doors and getting about the business 75 00:03:16,410 --> 00:03:13,030 of turning our rocket ship into an 76 00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:16,420 on-orbit space ship we had to convert 77 00:03:22,260 --> 00:03:19,030 the mid-deck to a working area set up 78 00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:22,270 the tools and the spacesuits in 79 00:03:27,690 --> 00:03:24,630 preparation for the spacewalks upcoming 80 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:27,700 fracture the rendezvous as is normally 81 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:30,010 done on flights like this we check out 82 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:31,570 the robot arm the robot arm was 83 00:03:37,290 --> 00:03:34,450 tremendously enjoyable piece of gear to 84 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:37,300 operate and in our case if it checked 85 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:37,690 out 86 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:39,970 fully completely as it always does it's 87 00:03:44,730 --> 00:03:42,090 a very reliable piece of gear 88 00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:44,740 none of our simulators can fully prepare 89 00:03:47,490 --> 00:03:46,030 you for everything you're going to see 90 00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:47,500 during a rendezvous number one the 91 00:03:51,630 --> 00:03:48,880 beauty of the real satellite that's 92 00:03:54,540 --> 00:03:51,640 compared to our visuals but also the Sun 93 00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:54,550 in the real world and the confusion you 94 00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:55,870 can get on the flight deck just from the 95 00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:56,980 number of people who are up there 96 00:04:01,250 --> 00:03:59,280 helping out with the task 97 00:04:04,370 --> 00:04:01,260 it really is a team effort with 98 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:04,380 everybody providing an input but we 99 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:06,690 managed to stabilize the telescope like 100 00:04:11,930 --> 00:04:08,370 this and the co ass and bring it down so 101 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:11,940 Steve could grab it Scottie and Sox were 102 00:04:17,330 --> 00:04:13,890 responsible for the first 330 miles or 103 00:04:19,039 --> 00:04:17,340 so and my job was the last 10 feet they 104 00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:19,049 did such a good job with their part that 105 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:20,850 my job was easy we were able to grab it 106 00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:24,330 and for Sox and me it was it was 107 00:04:29,420 --> 00:04:25,889 enjoyable to get to see it again 108 00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:29,430 and got it birth on the FSS so that the 109 00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:32,700 real mission operations could begin with 110 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:36,120 the epa's all right here we are this is 111 00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:37,650 a couple days into the fight we need to 112 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:39,960 check out the e/m use first as you know 113 00:04:44,750 --> 00:04:43,050 these emus were updated that's a new 114 00:04:47,150 --> 00:04:44,760 configuration we hope to have on station 115 00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:47,160 once they're all checked out it's time 116 00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:49,800 to Don the suits for the first of the 117 00:04:54,770 --> 00:04:52,590 epa's I've got my Green Bay Packers hat 118 00:04:56,719 --> 00:04:54,780 on here which I wore every day and I'm 119 00:05:03,530 --> 00:04:56,729 sure that was one of the forces that 120 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:03,540 kept us you know this is coming out of 121 00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:05,370 the hatch the very first day it seems 122 00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:06,720 like I'm having a little trouble I can't 123 00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:08,190 figure out why but we had a lot you have 124 00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:10,620 a lot of chords and the umbilicals and 125 00:05:14,510 --> 00:05:12,360 you also have tools in the airlock and a 126 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:14,520 lot of times it's it's hard to kind of 127 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:16,410 get out the door but once we get out you 128 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:17,850 can go ahead and start setting up for 129 00:05:23,330 --> 00:05:19,919 the day the manipulator foot restraint 130 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:23,340 handle was detached and it was developed 131 00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:24,930 here at the Johnson Space Center a real 132 00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:27,270 good job on that we went up and hooked 133 00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:29,910 it on to the MFR I went to work yeah 134 00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:31,950 first day the first of the five days was 135 00:05:35,779 --> 00:05:33,600 spent removing two large 136 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:35,789 refrigerator-sized objects from the 137 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:38,130 telescope Here I am pulling out the FOS 138 00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:39,930 instrument these instruments weighed 139 00:05:44,690 --> 00:05:42,270 between six hundred eighty-five and 850 140 00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:44,700 pounds after we pull out one of the old 141 00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:46,080 instruments we then go get one of the 142 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:47,550 new ones out of the payload Bay and this 143 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:51,210 is this coming out of course these boxes 144 00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:53,130 are designed to increase the scientific 145 00:05:58,670 --> 00:05:55,950 returns that Hubble will have we are 146 00:06:00,620 --> 00:05:58,680 putting stiffs into the telescope here 147 00:06:02,719 --> 00:06:00,630 unfortunately it happened at night the 148 00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:02,729 major three boxes that we installed all 149 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:04,260 occurred at night so it made it a little 150 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:06,090 bit more difficult tasks that just as a 151 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:09,330 matter of timing after you put a new box 152 00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:10,650 into the telescope 153 00:06:16,010 --> 00:06:13,080 you stole the old box mrs. stowing the 154 00:06:18,529 --> 00:06:16,020 ghr sbox I might add that these scenes 155 00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,539 are all sped up to some extent about 156 00:06:21,469 --> 00:06:19,919 five times the normal speed 157 00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:21,479 everything goes a lot slower in space 158 00:06:26,330 --> 00:06:24,870 this is just another view of stowing gh 159 00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:26,340 RS into the payload bay you might notice 160 00:06:29,719 --> 00:06:28,020 over my left shoulder there's a gold 161 00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:29,729 colored box that's a new camera we had 162 00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:31,710 on board that actually brought the 163 00:06:35,059 --> 00:06:33,870 ground into the work envelope basically 164 00:06:38,619 --> 00:06:35,069 looked over our shoulder and you'll see 165 00:06:41,929 --> 00:06:38,629 pictures of that in the upcoming scenes 166 00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:41,939 the EBA took about seven hours that 167 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:43,620 first day often we had a chance to look 168 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:44,969 out at beautiful sights notice the 169 00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,770 external airlock here also that was the 170 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:48,479 first flighted external airlock and 171 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:49,520 gorgeous view 172 00:06:56,270 --> 00:06:53,250 well after market Steve had shown us how 173 00:06:59,809 --> 00:06:56,280 to correctly perform EBA it was Greg in 174 00:07:01,520 --> 00:06:59,819 my turn on on day two put your pants on 175 00:07:03,140 --> 00:07:01,530 a little different in space you can put 176 00:07:05,869 --> 00:07:03,150 both legs in at the same time and the 177 00:07:08,089 --> 00:07:05,879 suit up was assisted by dock every time 178 00:07:11,209 --> 00:07:08,099 and here's Greg reporting that he was 179 00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:11,219 ready to go our job was to change one of 180 00:07:16,339 --> 00:07:13,020 the fine guidance sensors and here we 181 00:07:18,260 --> 00:07:16,349 are working on the doors to that Bay and 182 00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:18,270 here is the insertion also done at night 183 00:07:23,450 --> 00:07:21,180 it's Steve noted of the the new fine 184 00:07:25,730 --> 00:07:23,460 guidance sensor this box weighs about 185 00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:25,740 500 pounds but in space doesn't feel 186 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:28,319 like anything here we are 187 00:07:33,829 --> 00:07:32,370 stowing the old STS to return it to home 188 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:33,839 where it will be refurbished and 189 00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:37,409 launched on a future mission we also 190 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:40,319 changed out one of the science tape 191 00:07:43,339 --> 00:07:42,240 recorders and that's the black box that 192 00:07:45,290 --> 00:07:43,349 I'm holding right there and this is a 193 00:07:47,719 --> 00:07:45,300 beautiful shot of the earth reflecting 194 00:07:57,409 --> 00:07:47,729 off the telescope and you can see Greg 195 00:08:01,890 --> 00:07:59,459 once we got down with all the large 196 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:01,900 boxes the lower 12 feet or so has all of 197 00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:04,090 them you know scientific instruments we 198 00:08:07,619 --> 00:08:05,500 started going in the bays and there's 199 00:08:09,659 --> 00:08:07,629 about 15 20 different Bay's that have 200 00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:09,669 the electronics that run the Hubble 201 00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:11,560 Space Telescope in this case I'm 202 00:08:17,070 --> 00:08:13,960 changing out a data interface unit and 203 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:17,080 the Diu had lost half of it essentially 204 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:18,849 half of its capability so we put a new 205 00:08:23,550 --> 00:08:20,889 one in it's a little bit tougher task 206 00:08:26,189 --> 00:08:23,560 than some of the normally VA because it 207 00:08:28,619 --> 00:08:26,199 wasn't designed to be a compatible 208 00:08:30,059 --> 00:08:28,629 electoral connectors didn't have wing 209 00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:30,069 tabs a lot of the other things that we 210 00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:32,649 tend to do like the reaction wheel that 211 00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:35,200 you see here the reaction wheel was one 212 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:37,240 of those 12 15 years ago and they first 213 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:39,610 built Hubble that was meant to be 214 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,890 changed out EBA and we weren't doing the 215 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:43,360 work the people inside we're looking 216 00:08:47,069 --> 00:08:45,010 down this is thunderstorms over the top 217 00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:47,079 of Houston and it's certainly it's like 218 00:08:52,170 --> 00:08:50,110 a string of firecrackers it's probably 219 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:52,180 the most incredible lightning display 220 00:08:56,490 --> 00:08:54,610 that most then any of us had ever seen 221 00:09:01,490 --> 00:08:56,500 from orbit so it was pretty spectacular 222 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:04,980 guess here we are getting to work on the 223 00:09:10,110 --> 00:09:08,170 TVA for this is the solar array drive 224 00:09:12,540 --> 00:09:10,120 electronics box changer 225 00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:12,550 that's Joe handing it off to me and then 226 00:09:16,769 --> 00:09:14,980 closing the lid and I'm on the on the 227 00:09:19,230 --> 00:09:16,779 end of the arm there and I've got it in 228 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:19,240 my hands and we go up to where the 229 00:09:24,259 --> 00:09:21,970 worksite I believe this is at sunrise so 230 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:24,269 you'll see the lighting changed fairly 231 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:29,170 rapidly here and this is real time Sun 232 00:09:35,579 --> 00:09:31,690 goes up and goes down very quickly on 233 00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:35,589 orbit real commendation to the folks who 234 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:38,350 trained us this task was just like it 235 00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:42,130 was in the training process except the 236 00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:44,320 screws were they although they were 237 00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:45,790 equally small they weren't nearly as 238 00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:47,440 corroded as they were in the water but 239 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:51,430 it was it was a challenging task to 240 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:53,050 change that that solar ray Drive 241 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:54,730 electronics box but it was very doable 242 00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:57,519 the way it was designed by the engineers 243 00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:00,160 and there are Joe and I up at the top of 244 00:10:04,930 --> 00:10:02,350 the telescope we're not paying any 245 00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:04,940 attention to the earth up there 246 00:10:10,090 --> 00:10:07,310 changing that or putting some covers on 247 00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:10,100 magnetometers one of the efforts that 248 00:10:16,030 --> 00:10:12,889 was underway while we were out there was 249 00:10:19,139 --> 00:10:16,040 Scott was working on some other repairs 250 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:19,149 some patches that were designed and 251 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:22,730 built up by Scott in the course of that 252 00:10:28,629 --> 00:10:26,689 Evie a day I had Joe and I actually put 253 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:28,639 a couple patches on towards the end of 254 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:31,370 evey a day for but then Mark and Steve 255 00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:33,170 put on the remainder of the patches on 256 00:10:39,819 --> 00:10:36,620 an unscheduled Evie a day five that all 257 00:10:41,470 --> 00:10:39,829 went absolutely superbly the design 258 00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:41,480 developed by the folks on the ground 259 00:10:46,329 --> 00:10:44,300 with the stuff available to us was was 260 00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:46,339 just great real kudos to everybody that 261 00:10:55,119 --> 00:10:53,230 towards the end of that activity then we 262 00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:55,129 were we finished up and it was the end 263 00:11:00,160 --> 00:10:57,920 of the EVs with EPA successfully 264 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:00,170 completed it was time to but let Hubble 265 00:11:04,329 --> 00:11:02,810 fly free again and it's a little bit I 266 00:11:05,530 --> 00:11:04,339 guess like having your kids come home 267 00:11:06,939 --> 00:11:05,540 from college you know we were really 268 00:11:08,439 --> 00:11:06,949 happy to see help all when it showed up 269 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:08,449 and where was time to send it off we 270 00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:14,689 were really happy to see it go once 271 00:11:19,629 --> 00:11:17,600 again I got to grapple it and raise it 272 00:11:22,929 --> 00:11:19,639 up off of the FSS bring it forward in 273 00:11:26,319 --> 00:11:22,939 the bay release it from the arm and then 274 00:11:29,199 --> 00:11:26,329 I told Scott to go ahead and execute the 275 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,209 maneuver which he did the maneuver was 276 00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:31,519 kicked off by a firing forward Jets and 277 00:11:36,699 --> 00:11:34,880 as soon as we did that we fired the Jets 278 00:11:38,290 --> 00:11:36,709 the orbiter went back and the telescope 279 00:11:40,569 --> 00:11:38,300 flew right over the top window this is a 280 00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:40,579 view right over our heads looking out 281 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:43,310 the starboard window and it was pretty 282 00:11:48,579 --> 00:11:45,170 amazing to see this large telescope fly 283 00:11:49,749 --> 00:11:48,589 right over our heads the maneuver after 284 00:11:52,329 --> 00:11:49,759 the telescope went out of the window 285 00:11:54,490 --> 00:11:52,339 took us so we like flew like a loop over 286 00:11:56,319 --> 00:11:54,500 and atop the telescope so the next thing 287 00:11:59,499 --> 00:11:56,329 we saw about 15 minutes later was the 288 00:12:02,340 --> 00:11:59,509 telescope flying over sharks Bay 289 00:12:05,049 --> 00:12:02,350 Australia we saw a lot of sharks Bay 290 00:12:06,699 --> 00:12:05,059 every turn never retired was beautiful 291 00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:06,709 sight and then we got to see the 292 00:12:11,199 --> 00:12:09,230 telescope almost like a telescope riser 293 00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:11,209 said as it goes across the horizon with 294 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:12,769 a beautiful blue planet in the 295 00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:15,930 background it was quite an amazing sight 296 00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:18,390 of course our are calling theme the 297 00:12:21,380 --> 00:12:19,830 whole time was more power to the 298 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:21,390 telescope and here we are celebrating 299 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:24,410 the fact that telescope has more power 300 00:12:28,070 --> 00:12:26,490 Sox was in real trouble because 301 00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:28,080 Valentine's Day had come and gone and he 302 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:29,120 hadn't written home yet 303 00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:32,370 so he's catching up and this is a 304 00:12:38,530 --> 00:12:36,060 demonstration of one of the real 305 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:38,540 problems with using power tools on orbit 306 00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:42,720 and this is a study in hydro fluid 307 00:12:47,270 --> 00:12:45,360 mechanics but it's interesting to note 308 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:47,280 that the little M&Ms will float right in 309 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:48,330 the middle of the water ball it makes 310 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:49,530 kind of a pretty picture to show your 311 00:12:56,060 --> 00:12:54,480 kids exercise is an important part of 312 00:12:57,950 --> 00:12:56,070 daily life on orbit just as it is on 313 00:12:59,870 --> 00:12:57,960 earth but we have a little bit better 314 00:13:01,250 --> 00:12:59,880 view and if you find a scene that you 315 00:13:03,470 --> 00:13:01,260 want to take a picture of you ask for a 316 00:13:05,650 --> 00:13:03,480 camera that on earth weighs quite a bit 317 00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:05,660 and someone just passes it over to you 318 00:13:12,950 --> 00:13:09,240 Sox's motto was a clean ship as a happy 319 00:13:14,990 --> 00:13:12,960 ship and you got us all busy cleaning up 320 00:13:17,470 --> 00:13:15,000 and we were real fortunate to get some 321 00:13:20,180 --> 00:13:17,480 excellent views of the hale-bopp comet 322 00:13:24,860 --> 00:13:20,190 that is still visible in the morning sky 323 00:13:27,230 --> 00:13:24,870 right now or the first landing 324 00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:27,240 opportunity was waved off due to bad 325 00:13:30,830 --> 00:13:28,860 weather at the Cape and so but we didn't 326 00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:30,840 mind we got this extra view of Florida 327 00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:33,120 flying over you can see Orlando and the 328 00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:35,550 Cape and Miami this is what it looks 329 00:13:39,530 --> 00:13:37,470 like inside during a night entry you get 330 00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:39,540 flashes from the plasma and the overhead 331 00:13:42,980 --> 00:13:41,580 windows that that light up the inside of 332 00:13:45,230 --> 00:13:42,990 the ship and you can see the orange glow 333 00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:45,240 from the fireball that's what the orange 334 00:13:49,340 --> 00:13:47,790 glow looks like from the outside and 335 00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:49,350 that's pretty much the view the folks 336 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:50,640 here in Houston saw as we streaked 337 00:13:54,380 --> 00:13:52,410 overhead and a couple hundred thousand 338 00:13:55,820 --> 00:13:54,390 feet it was great for me I looked out my 339 00:13:58,100 --> 00:13:55,830 left window and there was Houston I 340 00:13:59,540 --> 00:13:58,110 could see the street outlines and right 341 00:14:01,640 --> 00:13:59,550 at the lower window frame was where the 342 00:14:03,290 --> 00:14:01,650 Johnson Space Center should be this is 343 00:14:05,510 --> 00:14:03,300 the first flight that the Kennedy Space 344 00:14:08,090 --> 00:14:05,520 Center where we had centreline lights on 345 00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:08,100 the runway it was a really nice addition 346 00:14:12,620 --> 00:14:11,070 to the runway gave me a good feel during 347 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:12,630 the landing in the rollout for where I 348 00:14:18,980 --> 00:14:16,170 was on the runway it Scott did a super 349 00:14:20,810 --> 00:14:18,990 job getting a drag chute out and we 350 00:14:22,220 --> 00:14:20,820 tapped the brakes just to check them and 351 00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:22,230 make sure they worked we really didn't 352 00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:23,310 need the brakes with the wind that we 353 00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:25,860 had that day but as a pilot I wanted to 354 00:14:29,730 --> 00:14:27,870 see what they felt like they were 355 00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:29,740 beautiful 356 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:32,710 jettison the the chute and and roll to a 357 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:36,880 stop there on the runway one of the 358 00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:38,410 three had been a great place to live in 359 00:14:43,770 --> 00:14:41,110 a and a great place to work the whole 10 360 00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:43,780 days we were up in space and I was kind 361 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:47,830 of sad to see it come to an end it's 362 00:14:50,820 --> 00:14:49,210 always tough when you when you're in the 363 00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:50,830 mission you know you're not gonna be 364 00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:52,240 spending as much time with with your 365 00:15:00,090 --> 00:14:55,390 crew as you got to during the previous 366 00:15:02,340 --> 00:15:00,100 ten days movies great for for seeing how 367 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:02,350 things move in space but nothing can 368 00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:04,930 quite beat the still imagery the the 369 00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:07,720 slides that would get so we've got a lot 370 00:15:14,610 --> 00:15:11,920 of them to show you today this is our 371 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:14,620 crew patch it was actually pretty easy 372 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:17,890 to do this patch and we took the image 373 00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:21,120 of that telescopes directly from a 374 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:23,710 picture from the first servicing mission 375 00:15:29,550 --> 00:15:26,290 and that's why the arrays look a little 376 00:15:31,710 --> 00:15:29,560 bit twisted but it looked just like that 377 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:31,720 when we got back up and ron abboud with 378 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:36,130 it the night launches is just 379 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:38,560 spectacular my first flight was on a day 380 00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:41,050 launch and you know the forces are all 381 00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:42,700 the same but but the light show out your 382 00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:44,320 window is pretty incredible in fact it's 383 00:15:48,090 --> 00:15:45,670 pretty hard to see the stars and the 384 00:15:49,410 --> 00:15:48,100 beach as you take off because the light 385 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:49,420 is so bright from the flames that 386 00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:54,130 surround you I talked about the Sun in 387 00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:54,670 the rendezvous 388 00:15:58,740 --> 00:15:56,230 I use my thumb a lot an old fighter 389 00:16:00,390 --> 00:15:58,750 pilot trick attack pilot trick to you 390 00:16:02,370 --> 00:16:00,400 just take your thumb and put it up in 391 00:16:04,530 --> 00:16:02,380 the window to block out the disc of the 392 00:16:08,780 --> 00:16:04,540 Sun and that worked great to keep the 393 00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:10,800 this is what the telescope looked like 394 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:14,590 added about 1,500 feet the aperture end 395 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:16,530 was pointed towards us and as we 396 00:16:21,870 --> 00:16:18,610 continued the rendezvous the telescope 397 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:21,880 actually rotated 180 degrees until we 398 00:16:25,230 --> 00:16:23,890 were in close the bottom end of the 399 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:25,240 telescope was pointed down at the 400 00:16:30,420 --> 00:16:28,210 payload Bay and then we went an ER shil 401 00:16:32,730 --> 00:16:30,430 so that we matched the exact rate of the 402 00:16:35,190 --> 00:16:32,740 telescope and then drifted in another 403 00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:35,200 hundred feet or so till Steve was able 404 00:16:39,860 --> 00:16:35,860 to grab it 405 00:16:42,050 --> 00:16:39,870 I know socks and I talked one 406 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:42,060 preparations for the flight that we each 407 00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:44,850 felt very fortunate to have a chance to 408 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:47,279 be able to see the Hubble telescope 409 00:16:54,530 --> 00:16:52,290 twice and we had exchanged memories 410 00:16:56,990 --> 00:16:54,540 about what it looked like and and of 411 00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:57,000 course we had told the other crew 412 00:17:01,700 --> 00:16:59,130 members kind of what to expect and how 413 00:17:05,410 --> 00:17:01,710 pretty the satellite was I know Sox used 414 00:17:08,990 --> 00:17:05,420 to say that he remembered being able to 415 00:17:10,429 --> 00:17:09,000 see the reflections of the earth in the 416 00:17:13,309 --> 00:17:10,439 telescope such that the telescope 417 00:17:15,699 --> 00:17:13,319 actually looked blueish rather than 418 00:17:19,670 --> 00:17:15,709 silver and one of my recollections was 419 00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:19,680 at the Terminator it was the Sun setting 420 00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:22,260 or a rising would would shine on the 421 00:17:25,819 --> 00:17:24,150 solar rays such that it almost appeared 422 00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:25,829 that the solar rays had their own source 423 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:28,319 of illumination and this is a picture of 424 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:31,440 kind of what that looked like the it was 425 00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:34,410 it was it was a treat special privilege 426 00:17:38,810 --> 00:17:36,870 to see the telescope again the side that 427 00:17:42,410 --> 00:17:38,820 you see here which is the side that that 428 00:17:44,510 --> 00:17:42,420 was facing us as we did the grapple and 429 00:17:47,870 --> 00:17:44,520 the birth actually looked quite a lot 430 00:17:49,250 --> 00:17:47,880 like like I remembered it from before it 431 00:17:51,020 --> 00:17:49,260 wasn't until we had shed see the other 432 00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:51,030 side that we realized there's a 433 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:52,710 difference between the side that 434 00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:54,510 preferentially faces the sign and and 435 00:17:59,390 --> 00:17:57,150 the side that doesn't and of course that 436 00:18:02,900 --> 00:17:59,400 led to the moai repair activities later 437 00:18:08,540 --> 00:18:02,910 on but it's a big spacecraft and it's 438 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:08,550 it's truly a beautiful spacecraft we all 439 00:18:14,900 --> 00:18:11,730 had different duties on the VA days and 440 00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:14,910 leading up to the VA so my job was 441 00:18:20,330 --> 00:18:18,270 getting the guys are up and ready to go 442 00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:20,340 when Joe and I were not going out the 443 00:18:24,919 --> 00:18:23,130 door ourselves one of the things we all 444 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:24,929 took care of ourselves was wiping down 445 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:27,090 our own helmets and putting the anti-fog 446 00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:31,770 in there next slide so here is Mark and 447 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:34,440 the next slide of Steve getting ready 448 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:37,290 for their first CVA and they're all 449 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:38,730 pumped up and ready to go 450 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:43,850 so we got these guys all suited up and 451 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:46,080 pre breathed and all that and then it 452 00:18:51,210 --> 00:18:48,210 was time to hand off to Joe who directed 453 00:18:54,930 --> 00:18:51,220 the operation from there Steve and 454 00:18:57,330 --> 00:18:54,940 on our off EDA days activists the ivy or 455 00:19:00,810 --> 00:18:57,340 the person the choreographer I guess of 456 00:19:04,140 --> 00:19:00,820 the of the Eevee a task and we pretty 457 00:19:05,850 --> 00:19:04,150 much stayed glued to w-9 the window 458 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:05,860 looking at everything that was going on 459 00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:08,650 and keeping track of the activities and 460 00:19:15,050 --> 00:19:12,130 making sure that the EPA was going as as 461 00:19:18,150 --> 00:19:15,060 we had trained in it as we had planned 462 00:19:20,940 --> 00:19:18,160 of course we were always assisted Abele 463 00:19:22,860 --> 00:19:20,950 by dr. Steve E and we referred to Steve 464 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:22,870 and dr. Stevie in that way so it's not 465 00:19:27,810 --> 00:19:24,010 to get them confused 466 00:19:30,990 --> 00:19:27,820 but Steve dr. Stevie and Steve and I all 467 00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:31,000 work together closely to make sure the 468 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:34,600 arm movements or or what we had trained 469 00:19:39,330 --> 00:19:36,490 and planned on and it was it was really 470 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:39,340 a team effort with socks you can't see 471 00:19:48,750 --> 00:19:40,450 him in the picture but he's right behind 472 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:48,760 us acting worried and here Steve is is 473 00:19:56,580 --> 00:19:51,760 handling one of the large boxes and that 474 00:20:01,470 --> 00:19:56,590 is probably G hrs being stowed on the on 475 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:01,480 the a fixture and while we stole them 476 00:20:06,150 --> 00:20:03,970 temporarily there while we got the new 477 00:20:08,190 --> 00:20:06,160 instrument out of one of the protective 478 00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:08,200 enclosures and install the new 479 00:20:11,130 --> 00:20:09,580 instrument in the telescope and then 480 00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:11,140 retrieve the old instrument for stowage 481 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:15,760 and what is now an empty closure this is 482 00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:17,290 it during the first EP a market myself 483 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:19,750 you can see this large enclosure in the 484 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:21,250 front is where the new instruments 485 00:20:25,740 --> 00:20:22,930 launched and the old instruments were 486 00:20:27,150 --> 00:20:25,750 stowed for entry that's myself on the 487 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:27,160 arm there you can see the camera is 488 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:28,930 right in front of my face or that silver 489 00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:31,210 box mark is in the back inspecting the 490 00:20:42,340 --> 00:20:41,140 this is the other large box that we move 491 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:42,350 during the flight to find guidance 492 00:20:45,490 --> 00:20:44,210 sensor that's Joe and the arm holding it 493 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:45,500 as he mentioned before it weighs about 494 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:47,450 500 pounds we often refer to it as the 495 00:20:52,210 --> 00:20:49,490 piano because it was about the size and 496 00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:52,220 shape of a grand piano you see Greg in 497 00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:54,110 the back inspecting the bay after Joe 498 00:20:58,750 --> 00:20:57,110 has removed the old instrument also you 499 00:21:00,760 --> 00:20:58,760 notice greg has a tether 500 00:21:02,980 --> 00:21:00,770 going down by his right leg there he was 501 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:02,990 always tethered to the shuttle in that 502 00:21:06,010 --> 00:21:04,640 respect he also knows near his left foot 503 00:21:07,810 --> 00:21:06,020 is a foot restraint that we actually 504 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:07,820 installed on the telescope to give Greg 505 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:09,919 a platform somewhat like what Joe was 506 00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:12,530 using on the end of the arm I might add 507 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:14,630 that Joe and I compared notes after the 508 00:21:18,730 --> 00:21:16,880 flight just to describe how things went 509 00:21:20,590 --> 00:21:18,740 in spaces they didn't on earth and it 510 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:20,600 really was very very similar we each had 511 00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:22,730 installed these large boxes I'd say 512 00:21:28,180 --> 00:21:25,460 about 30 to 35 times on earth before we 513 00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:28,190 did it in space each of us got about 135 514 00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:30,980 to 150 hours of water time before the 515 00:21:37,419 --> 00:21:34,820 flight also well at the end of a lot of 516 00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:37,429 the replacement work on the telescope 517 00:21:40,650 --> 00:21:38,960 but one of our goals was to actually 518 00:21:43,390 --> 00:21:40,660 raise the telescope to a higher orbit 519 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:43,400 the telescope doesn't have any engines 520 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:45,049 it just has the reaction wheels to 521 00:21:49,210 --> 00:21:47,570 maintain attitude and so over time even 522 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:49,220 though there's very little atmosphere up 523 00:21:51,970 --> 00:21:50,450 there what little atmosphere there is 524 00:21:53,409 --> 00:21:51,980 will drag the telescope down so we did 525 00:21:55,150 --> 00:21:53,419 what's called a vernier reboost and 526 00:21:57,039 --> 00:21:55,160 you've heard some people were rewarded 527 00:21:58,810 --> 00:21:57,049 for their efforts because this is a 528 00:22:00,760 --> 00:21:58,820 pretty unusual way to use the Space 529 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:00,770 Shuttle to boost a payload because the 530 00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:01,850 little vernier jets really weren't 531 00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:03,710 designed for that so they came up with a 532 00:22:07,570 --> 00:22:05,600 very clever procedure that basically 533 00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:07,580 faked the Jets out into boosting us into 534 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:11,740 a higher orbit and we spent 82 minutes 535 00:22:16,930 --> 00:22:14,450 using the little vernier Jets over the 536 00:22:18,549 --> 00:22:16,940 entire mission and boosted the telescope 537 00:22:21,220 --> 00:22:18,559 about eight miles higher which will 538 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:21,230 ensure that it has a very safe orbit for 539 00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:26,650 years to come now these next four slides 540 00:22:32,650 --> 00:22:30,400 typifies some of the the work that we do 541 00:22:34,299 --> 00:22:32,660 pre-flight an in-flight and it's the 542 00:22:35,950 --> 00:22:34,309 interaction between the astronauts and 543 00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:35,960 the engineers and the ground team and 544 00:22:40,180 --> 00:22:37,910 all of all designers that allow you to 545 00:22:41,919 --> 00:22:40,190 pull off some of this work for the data 546 00:22:43,810 --> 00:22:41,929 interface unit it's something even 547 00:22:45,790 --> 00:22:43,820 before the crew was named that we had 548 00:22:47,470 --> 00:22:45,800 three or four runs over at the NBS at 549 00:22:48,860 --> 00:22:47,480 Marshall and we knew that would be 550 00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:48,870 difficult to do because 551 00:22:53,810 --> 00:22:50,960 reaching access in the base they design 552 00:22:55,940 --> 00:22:53,820 umbilicals gender changers for some of 553 00:22:57,620 --> 00:22:55,950 the connectors that were powered saw and 554 00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:57,630 so forth and the end result is you've 555 00:23:02,770 --> 00:23:00,240 come up with something through iteration 556 00:23:05,210 --> 00:23:02,780 that really works works well next and 557 00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:05,220 that's particularly true about the solar 558 00:23:09,770 --> 00:23:07,440 array Drive electronics task which we 559 00:23:12,049 --> 00:23:09,780 did have difficulty on sts-61 because 560 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:12,059 some of the screws came out but through 561 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:14,730 the good work the engineers up at 562 00:23:18,049 --> 00:23:16,290 Goddard and inputs from the crew were 563 00:23:20,410 --> 00:23:18,059 able to come up with a design that made 564 00:23:23,780 --> 00:23:20,420 change out of the box much much easier 565 00:23:27,169 --> 00:23:23,790 to do and basically eliminated the 566 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:27,179 possibility of losing connectors all 567 00:23:31,190 --> 00:23:28,890 that interaction takes place before the 568 00:23:33,410 --> 00:23:31,200 flight and then even in flight the same 569 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:33,420 people are able to work on the 570 00:23:38,299 --> 00:23:36,210 multi-layer insulation repair kits where 571 00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:38,309 they look at all the things on board and 572 00:23:42,110 --> 00:23:39,840 I've heard a lot some of the reporters 573 00:23:44,299 --> 00:23:42,120 that have talked to me and after the 574 00:23:46,730 --> 00:23:44,309 flight talked about Apollo 13 it's the 575 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:46,740 same sort of effort where the people on 576 00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:48,210 the ground throw everything they've got 577 00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:49,830 in a room and they all come up with the 578 00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:52,320 best solution to the problems that we 579 00:23:58,730 --> 00:23:56,070 have and once doc used all the kit that 580 00:24:01,580 --> 00:23:58,740 we had on board to fabricate them we 581 00:24:04,220 --> 00:24:01,590 were able to go outside and put them on 582 00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:04,230 and it worked just the way the people 583 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:06,270 designed them if you take the pictures 584 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:08,010 of what they had at the NBL and compare 585 00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:10,290 them to what we had up in space they're 586 00:24:14,060 --> 00:24:12,360 virtually identical which shows you know 587 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:14,070 a great work they do on the ground to 588 00:24:21,980 --> 00:24:18,960 get these things ready this is a wide 589 00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:21,990 shot perfect the yeah flight deck one of 590 00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:22,710 the things you should notice the 591 00:24:25,940 --> 00:24:24,720 external airlock in the foreground again 592 00:24:27,260 --> 00:24:25,950 it was the first flight where we didn't 593 00:24:29,660 --> 00:24:27,270 have the airlock inside the cockpit 594 00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:29,670 instead it was outside and again a 595 00:24:34,190 --> 00:24:31,830 beautiful view of the earth with Hubble 596 00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:34,200 in front there it's marking myself doing 597 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:37,440 some of the MRI repair I might add that 598 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:39,330 on my first flight I was at 120 nautical 599 00:24:42,260 --> 00:24:40,890 miles which is the lowest the shuttle 600 00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:42,270 goes and a heaven there an interesting 601 00:24:45,020 --> 00:24:43,679 view at that altitude and this was the 602 00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:45,030 highest the shuttle go so it was a real 603 00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:46,740 contrast for me and you notice the 604 00:24:50,750 --> 00:24:47,790 curvature of the earth was very 605 00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:50,760 pronounced in that last picture here we 606 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:52,200 see you see the enhanced spacesuit that 607 00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:54,809 we wore we had four people that did 608 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:56,130 spacewalks on this flight but we only 609 00:25:00,080 --> 00:24:57,810 took three spacesuits in order to save 610 00:25:02,450 --> 00:25:00,090 weight in order to do that the spacesuit 611 00:25:03,889 --> 00:25:02,460 had to be resizable very easily in orbit 612 00:25:05,749 --> 00:25:03,899 and folks here at the Johnson Space 613 00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:05,759 Center as well as a couple of the 614 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:07,470 contractors up in the Northeast came up 615 00:25:11,060 --> 00:25:09,330 with this new way to resize suits during 616 00:25:12,499 --> 00:25:11,070 the flight Joe and I shared one 617 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:12,509 spacesuit the one you see here 618 00:25:20,029 --> 00:25:14,330 over the five EPA's it works very well 619 00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:20,039 thanks line on the second DVA 620 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:22,590 the customer asked us to go take a look 621 00:25:26,029 --> 00:25:24,450 at some of the solar arrays you'll see 622 00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:26,039 Joe here at the top of the picture and 623 00:25:30,769 --> 00:25:28,110 Greg on the back of the arm here with 624 00:25:31,999 --> 00:25:30,779 the removable evie a camera that's 625 00:25:33,739 --> 00:25:32,009 what's in Joe's right hand there and 626 00:25:35,659 --> 00:25:33,749 they actually did a real-time survey of 627 00:25:37,310 --> 00:25:35,669 the solar arrays to help the customer 628 00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:37,320 determine why one of the panels on the 629 00:25:40,820 --> 00:25:39,360 SOL race wasn't operating as efficiently 630 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,830 as some of these other solar arrays 631 00:25:44,810 --> 00:25:43,200 you'll see this camera in use likely 632 00:25:46,489 --> 00:25:44,820 during the space station here because it 633 00:25:52,249 --> 00:25:46,499 turned out to be very very useful on our 634 00:25:55,460 --> 00:25:52,259 flight we also had a 35-millimeter 635 00:25:57,350 --> 00:25:55,470 camera out there a Nikon f3 this is what 636 00:25:59,389 --> 00:25:57,360 we often saw when we were up on the arm 637 00:26:00,980 --> 00:25:59,399 about 35 or 40 feet above the payload 638 00:26:02,629 --> 00:26:00,990 Bay and we would look back at the 639 00:26:04,249 --> 00:26:02,639 cockpit so we're looking forward you see 640 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:04,259 the four windows of the cockpit to 641 00:26:08,539 --> 00:26:06,570 facing a half-two facing up the external 642 00:26:10,489 --> 00:26:08,549 airlock at the lower part of the screen 643 00:26:15,639 --> 00:26:10,499 and to the right as the kayuu band 644 00:26:21,649 --> 00:26:18,409 going back to that slide that you saw a 645 00:26:24,289 --> 00:26:21,659 moment ago with joe and i looking up at 646 00:26:26,389 --> 00:26:24,299 that solar ray what you don't see in 647 00:26:29,180 --> 00:26:26,399 that slide is the incredible view of the 648 00:26:31,639 --> 00:26:29,190 earth that we had in the background it 649 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:31,649 was very difficult for me and the back 650 00:26:38,810 --> 00:26:36,570 of the arm there to not be staring at 651 00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,820 the earth and keep my mind on the solar 652 00:26:43,070 --> 00:26:40,799 array that we were trying to inspect but 653 00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:43,080 it was just an absolutely spectacular 654 00:26:49,639 --> 00:26:46,049 view this is marek holding that camera 655 00:26:52,129 --> 00:26:49,649 again and i must say i think we've sort 656 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:52,139 of set a precedent here that is most 657 00:26:55,820 --> 00:26:54,090 likely to be followed in satellite 658 00:27:01,700 --> 00:26:55,830 servicing from here on out in terms of 659 00:27:03,850 --> 00:27:01,710 use of a camera out with the EBA crew 660 00:27:07,909 --> 00:27:03,860 members it was absolutely invaluable 661 00:27:10,009 --> 00:27:07,919 both for us onboard but more importantly 662 00:27:11,989 --> 00:27:10,019 for the folks on the ground to assess 663 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:11,999 the condition of the satellite and the 664 00:27:17,370 --> 00:27:15,370 state of the task once we completed it 665 00:27:19,049 --> 00:27:17,380 it really proved it's worth over and 666 00:27:22,470 --> 00:27:19,059 over again you can see on the top of it 667 00:27:23,940 --> 00:27:22,480 is a little light it's actually a 668 00:27:25,650 --> 00:27:23,950 modified helmet light through it's 669 00:27:30,450 --> 00:27:25,660 attached to the top and we use that to 670 00:27:32,490 --> 00:27:30,460 illuminate the worksite every now and 671 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:32,500 then if you take enough pictures you're 672 00:27:37,230 --> 00:27:35,650 going to get lucky and I have to admit I 673 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:37,240 would love to say that I plan this 674 00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:39,010 picture but I think it was just pure 675 00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:42,910 luck that's Joe and it just turned out 676 00:27:50,580 --> 00:27:47,710 absolutely spectacularly I think you can 677 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:50,590 if you look at it maybe not here but in 678 00:27:57,750 --> 00:27:54,850 if you study the photograph you can see 679 00:27:59,310 --> 00:27:57,760 Joe's face and it really just turned out 680 00:28:05,130 --> 00:27:59,320 nice so I'm really proud of that 681 00:28:08,430 --> 00:28:05,140 photograph the work that EBN guys who 682 00:28:09,930 --> 00:28:08,440 described being able to to perform 683 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:09,940 servicing activities like this is 684 00:28:14,370 --> 00:28:11,890 obviously going to be very important as 685 00:28:16,650 --> 00:28:14,380 we move into Space Station it's probably 686 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:16,660 worth noting as well that the ability of 687 00:28:22,830 --> 00:28:19,210 the robotic arm to move around heavy 688 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:22,840 payloads into position the VA crew 689 00:28:28,110 --> 00:28:24,850 members with precision is also going to 690 00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:28,120 be an important component of our suite 691 00:28:33,419 --> 00:28:29,590 of skills that we're going to need as we 692 00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:33,429 enter space station construction again 693 00:28:39,210 --> 00:28:35,590 after the successful completion of the 694 00:28:41,370 --> 00:28:39,220 five EPA's we were ready to let Hubble 695 00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:41,380 go back and perform its mission our 696 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:44,559 contribution to Hubble was pretty much 697 00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:46,450 at an end at this point in the flight of 698 00:28:51,030 --> 00:28:49,390 course there's a lot of activity still 699 00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:51,040 ongoing by the rest of the Hubble team 700 00:28:56,580 --> 00:28:54,070 to check out the instruments the new 701 00:28:58,290 --> 00:28:56,590 electronics that that were installed and 702 00:29:00,660 --> 00:28:58,300 and all that checkouts going very well 703 00:29:02,610 --> 00:29:00,670 so we're very hopeful that we really 704 00:29:05,060 --> 00:29:02,620 will leave Hubble with more power and 705 00:29:07,970 --> 00:29:05,070 and better than it was when we found it 706 00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:07,980 all it's been able to do over the last 707 00:29:14,310 --> 00:29:11,220 seven years with the 1970s technology 708 00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:14,320 has fundamentally changed the way we we 709 00:29:19,650 --> 00:29:16,240 think of our universe and our place in 710 00:29:22,550 --> 00:29:19,660 it and our understanding of it and it's 711 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:22,560 amazing to me to even speculate on what 712 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:25,120 1990s technology will allow Hubble to do 713 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:27,730 so there's great promise and everybody 714 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:28,490 that had 715 00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:32,210 chance to work on the telescope either 716 00:29:36,850 --> 00:29:34,910 previously or part of 82 or or on a 717 00:29:38,650 --> 00:29:36,860 future mission is contributing to 718 00:29:40,990 --> 00:29:38,660 something that that I think will be a 719 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:41,000 tremendous legacy for the human race for 720 00:29:50,650 --> 00:29:48,760 well we saw this view in the in the 721 00:29:53,169 --> 00:29:50,660 movie it happened preflighting Lee 722 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:53,179 because it went by so fast so it's real 723 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:55,010 nice to have us still and we'll look at 724 00:29:59,020 --> 00:29:57,170 the sequence here of the Hubble during 725 00:30:01,900 --> 00:29:59,030 the deploy and you look at the sequence 726 00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:01,910 - just want to note as we go through it 727 00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:03,980 it was really amazing to work on the 728 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:06,110 Hubble we're very focused the crew was 729 00:30:10,060 --> 00:30:07,490 you know working very hard the grounds 730 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:10,070 worked very hard and even all the way up 731 00:30:15,340 --> 00:30:12,650 to deploy and at this point I guess it 732 00:30:17,169 --> 00:30:15,350 hit me what we had just done I mean we 733 00:30:18,430 --> 00:30:17,179 had planned and everyone worked really 734 00:30:20,410 --> 00:30:18,440 hard for all these years to get ready 735 00:30:22,419 --> 00:30:20,420 for this mission and now we were 736 00:30:24,549 --> 00:30:22,429 releasing Hubble to go out and do its 737 00:30:27,970 --> 00:30:24,559 job and and it was really a beautiful 738 00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:27,980 sight and as we released the Hubble and 739 00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:30,230 it goes off to explore the universe you 740 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:32,240 know I looked at it with the hope 741 00:30:37,450 --> 00:30:34,250 someday of maybe coming back to visit it 742 00:30:40,390 --> 00:30:37,460 again because it's it's amazing thing 743 00:30:43,270 --> 00:30:40,400 that we do and hopefully the returns 744 00:30:45,610 --> 00:30:43,280 will produce scientific results that 745 00:30:49,780 --> 00:30:45,620 will improve our life for all of the 746 00:30:52,299 --> 00:30:49,790 people of the world and you have to have 747 00:30:53,620 --> 00:30:52,309 the obligatory crew in orbit photo and 748 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:53,630 of course you can tell it's in orbit 749 00:30:56,770 --> 00:30:55,130 with the Hubble you see the solar arrays 750 00:30:58,540 --> 00:30:56,780 and a piece of the telescope there in 751 00:31:00,690 --> 00:30:58,550 the background and just want you to note 752 00:31:06,010 --> 00:31:00,700 the the wonderful use of color their 753 00:31:09,430 --> 00:31:06,020 navy blue is a wonderful color navy blue 754 00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:09,440 good of course here's our more power 755 00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:11,600 sign that really summed up as we said 756 00:31:16,570 --> 00:31:13,760 earlier what we had intended to do to 757 00:31:18,940 --> 00:31:16,580 the telescope and we felt after we had 758 00:31:22,060 --> 00:31:18,950 completed the 5 e bas that we truly left 759 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:22,070 the telescope in a in a more power 760 00:31:26,940 --> 00:31:24,650 situation we were pretty happy you can 761 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:26,950 see relief on the faces of everybody at 762 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:29,570 about the mission being a successfully 763 00:31:33,669 --> 00:31:31,690 accomplished you you read that correctly 764 00:31:39,269 --> 00:31:33,679 they wanted to put that up on the 765 00:31:44,409 --> 00:31:42,940 of course socks spent a fair amount of 766 00:31:46,539 --> 00:31:44,419 time in the windows 767 00:31:48,669 --> 00:31:46,549 he made a challenge to doc that he 768 00:31:51,399 --> 00:31:48,679 couldn't shoot up all of the film that 769 00:31:53,380 --> 00:31:51,409 we had left on board after the telescope 770 00:31:55,090 --> 00:31:53,390 was gone and telescopes still here right 771 00:31:58,990 --> 00:31:55,100 now but we were shooting some earth 772 00:32:00,700 --> 00:31:59,000 earth obscene so far of the telescope 773 00:32:02,590 --> 00:32:00,710 but we did take a few beautiful shots of 774 00:32:06,370 --> 00:32:02,600 Australia no this next one 775 00:32:09,549 --> 00:32:06,380 there's certainly one of the best this 776 00:32:12,070 --> 00:32:09,559 is a Spencer Bay in August northeast 777 00:32:15,070 --> 00:32:12,080 Australia and we covered every inch of 778 00:32:19,570 --> 00:32:15,080 Australia and enjoyed it every time it 779 00:32:22,389 --> 00:32:19,580 came by we like to take pictures of all 780 00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:22,399 the dirt we see for the geologists we 781 00:32:27,509 --> 00:32:24,110 like to take pictures of the clouds in 782 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:27,519 water too so here's one of our prettier 783 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:29,450 pictures in that category 784 00:32:42,010 --> 00:32:40,180 it had been about over a year since 785 00:32:46,090 --> 00:32:42,020 discovery had flown before this flight 786 00:32:47,650 --> 00:32:46,100 and we couldn't find the key so we had 787 00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:47,660 to make our own on-orbit to make sure we 788 00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:51,679 could come home we're gonna give that to 789 00:32:56,010 --> 00:32:52,910 the next crew and hopefully they'll be 790 00:32:59,130 --> 00:32:56,020 able to pass it on to crews beyond them 791 00:33:02,380 --> 00:32:59,140 103 was a fantastic vehicle to fly in 792 00:33:03,730 --> 00:33:02,390 discovery gave us no problems during the 793 00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:03,740 flight that's because of all the work 794 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:06,110 that had been done so well by the people 795 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:08,330 on the ground and it really enabled us 796 00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:10,370 to focus on the mission of fixing the 797 00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:17,510 telescope well every mission has to come 798 00:33:23,740 --> 00:33:19,630 to an end here's our empty payload Bay 799 00:33:25,810 --> 00:33:23,750 the Sun setting not long after this we 800 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:25,820 closed the payload bay doors and and 801 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:31,370 came home touched down at the Kennedy 802 00:33:39,669 --> 00:33:36,770 Space Center we felt good after the 803 00:33:43,930 --> 00:33:39,679 mission because we were pretty sure we
