1
00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:18,710
we think our path symbolizes the

2
00:00:21,429 --> 00:00:20,000
teamwork

3
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:21,439
not only here at the johnson space

4
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:23,920
center but across the nasa contractor

5
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:24,880
team

6
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:26,720
and bridging the oceans all the way over

7
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:27,760
to russia

8
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:28,640
i think

9
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:30,160
the successful accomplishment of

10
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:32,160
shannon's long-duration mission

11
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,399
and our successful docking and joint

12
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:36,320
operations aboard the mir

13
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:45,110
we had a pretty spectacular night launch

14
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,800
at the end of our day

15
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:48,800
uh let me tell you there wasn't anybody

16
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,719
that uh that was dozing off on the

17
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,239
flight deck though because as soon as we

18
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:53,760
cleared the tower the master alarms

19
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:56,239
started going off

20
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,600
and it seemed like they were going off

21
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,520
all the way to main engine cutoff about

22
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:01,840
uh eight and a half minutes later

23
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:03,520
uh

24
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:07,840
tell the mirror that atlantis is

25
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,880
underway

26
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,960
and then we heard that the shannon even

27
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:12,799
saw us all the way to main engine

28
00:01:20,469 --> 00:01:15,280
cut-off from from the mirror which was

29
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:21,990
right after we got in orbit you can see

30
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,000
it was a night launch but where we were

31
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:25,680
in the world it was already daytime and

32
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:28,479
we saw the sun rise on orbit and uh

33
00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:30,720
immediately put terry to work not only

34
00:01:35,350 --> 00:01:33,680
on the apu subsystem but uh but also on

35
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:35,360
the overhead panel and

36
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:38,079
and this is what starts turning uh what

37
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,320
is a rocket ship there for eight and a

38
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:42,799
half minutes into a spacecraft for

39
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:44,560
10 days

40
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:47,040
it's it's just an amazingly versatile

41
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:49,040
ship that we have the orbiter

42
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:50,000
and

43
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,439
as you can see here terry's in the

44
00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:53,200
overhead panel and we're reconfiguring

45
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,630
one of the things you might have noticed

46
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,880
in that slide was that i wasn't sweating

47
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:04,320
one of my little crew members pointed

48
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:05,680
out that was the first time he had seen

49
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,840
anyone get to orbit and not be drenched

50
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:10,000
and that's in large measure to the

51
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,599
liquid cooling garment that we wear

52
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,840
under our spacesuit now and i tell you

53
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:15,599
we'd all like to to thank the people

54
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,680
that came up with that for us

55
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,840
once we got on orbit we had a few days

56
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:21,520
to do science before we docked with the

57
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:23,599
mirror this is one of our experiments

58
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:25,120
car walls is holding something called

59
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:26,319
mgm

60
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:27,920
or it's called

61
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:30,400
the mechanics of granular materials

62
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:31,200
and

63
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:33,040
it studies the behavior of materials

64
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,200
like sand which is what's in that that

65
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:37,680
container or any other granular material

66
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,280
and we hope that with this experiment

67
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,640
engineers will be able to use the

68
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,480
information to strengthen building codes

69
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:44,560
and earthquake areas

70
00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:46,319
get more information about what triggers

71
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:48,879
avalanches study beach erosion even the

72
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:51,280
behavior of materials in silos it was a

73
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:52,640
good experiment and they got good

74
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:58,550
bill can you back up one i just want to

75
00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:00,640
say one more thing please

76
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,879
you might notice that carl's hat there

77
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:04,480
he was wishing that he had a st louis

78
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,190
next slide please

79
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,030
the we called this slide the attack of

80
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:15,040
the water bags

81
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:16,480
one of the things we transferred to here

82
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:19,120
was was water unlike us where we make

83
00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:20,640
water with our fuel cells when we

84
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:22,239
produce electricity

85
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:24,080
they don't make water and it has to be

86
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,760
carried up to them and they use it they

87
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,959
break it apart to get their breathing

88
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,400
oxygen of course they use it in their

89
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:31,120
galley to drink and rehydrate food with

90
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,720
each of those bags weighs about 100

91
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:34,480
pounds we transferred 20 of them i think

92
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:36,640
it was a new record over 2 000 pounds of

93
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,760
water

94
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,840
and we figured well we filled eight of

95
00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,760
them before we docked when the hatch

96
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,840
opened the first thing i want to do was

97
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:45,040
because you can see they're like sea

98
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:47,440
cows floating around with valerie where

99
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:49,120
do you want all this water and he said

100
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:50,560
just keep it on the shuttle until you

101
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:52,640
get ready to leave but

102
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,799
we managed to find a spot for it and get

103
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:56,879
it over to the to the mirror next slide

104
00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:01,350
uh this is uh basically how we start our

105
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:02,560
day we didn't really launch with the

106
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,640
flight plan uh it was tip step to us the

107
00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,640
first thing every morning and you can

108
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:08,239
see the tips machine there and and the

109
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,680
roll of paper

110
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,360
that comes out it was pretty extensive

111
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,280
and it took us a while to cut and paste

112
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,200
into our flight plan every day

113
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,359
jay also has on a headphone there that's

114
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:19,840
connected to our vhf radio we use that

115
00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:22,160
for ship to ship conversation with the

116
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:24,479
mirror and also for an experiment called

117
00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:26,080
sarx which turned out to be a really

118
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,600
good deal and i'm sure it'll be

119
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:29,520
important to long duration crew members

120
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:31,520
because each of the crew members on 79

121
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,960
got to make a personal phone call to

122
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,639
their families and i can tell you that's

123
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,479
a real boost for morale after you've

124
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,400
been up there for a while and we also

125
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:40,479
used it to find out sports scores things

126
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:42,960
like that with random contacts

127
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:45,120
and just to the right of jay is one of

128
00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:47,600
our freezers the blue box there and that

129
00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:49,520
was used to return

130
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,440
biological samples uh from shannon's

131
00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:53,360
stay on mir back to earth

132
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:54,840
next

133
00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:57,919
slide on flight day four we got ready to

134
00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:00,160
do our rendezvous bill got back in his

135
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:02,160
commander's chair and picked out the the

136
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,080
rendezvous checklist and

137
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:06,560
did a series of burns of course to start

138
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,350
well you just can't imagine what a

139
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:14,960
breathtaking sight it is to see

140
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,240
something in the crew optical sight

141
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:20,800
that is the mirror at approximately 600

142
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,880
feet away and of course we can see it

143
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:24,560
much further out as the brightest star

144
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:26,479
in the sky but uh

145
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:29,039
as soon as we had done all our mid

146
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,639
course correction burns you could start

147
00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:32,400
to see a little glimmer and then and

148
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:34,560
then you'd see detail and the solar

149
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,479
arrays and then the modules but but i

150
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,639
think this this picture here at 600 feet

151
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:40,639
shows you just what a remarkable complex

152
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:42,080
it is that they've assembled over the

153
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,520
last 10 years

154
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,440
of course the difference uh

155
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:47,120
between our flight and the previous one

156
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:48,560
was uh the orbiter was a little

157
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:50,880
different with a double space ave module

158
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:52,320
and the other thing was the mirror was a

159
00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:53,759
little bit different because during

160
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,320
shannon's stay on board the prorota

161
00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:58,639
which means nature science module had

162
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:01,199
arrived so we had a different orbiter

163
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:02,639
configuration and a different mirror

164
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,510
this is a shot that shannon took of our

165
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:11,440
arrival and we're uh

166
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,880
inside 170 feet at this point

167
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:16,880
you can see towards the aft part of the

168
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:20,160
payload bay the double space have module

169
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,680
and then towards the forward part you

170
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:23,520
can see the orbiter docking system with

171
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,440
the androgynous docking adapter there at

172
00:06:30,309 --> 00:06:27,600
the top the black part

173
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:30,319
you can also see our ku band radar

174
00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:32,240
slung over there

175
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:34,319
on top of the radiator on the right-hand

176
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:36,000
side of the orbiter

177
00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:37,039
we're uh

178
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,880
we've got our noses pressed to those

179
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:40,240
overhead windows those two little

180
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,479
windows they're looking at shannon as

181
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:44,880
she's looking at us as you might imagine

182
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,880
and you can also see the reaction

183
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:48,240
control jets kind of around the

184
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:56,390
this is a picture shortly after we were

185
00:07:00,469 --> 00:06:58,560
docked and and we show you this

186
00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:00,479
because another change to the mirror

187
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,080
configuration from the previous flight

188
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,240
was in the upper corner of the picture

189
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:06,400
you can see the cooperative solar array

190
00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:08,080
which was deployed during shannon's

191
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:09,199
mission by

192
00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:13,520
uh yuriana friendco and yuri usochov

193
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:15,919
that array extends down below the nose

194
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:18,000
of the orbiter during the approach

195
00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:19,520
the other thing that you see extending

196
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:21,280
over the forward part of the payload bay

197
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:23,759
is one of the base block arrays on the

198
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:26,000
mirror station that extended down within

199
00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:28,080
a couple feet of the overhead window you

200
00:07:32,309 --> 00:07:30,000
can see it in its unfeathered position

201
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,319
right now after we've arrived and the

202
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:34,639
solar rays are trying to trying to track

203
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:35,919
the sun

204
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:38,720
and gather solar energy but during the

205
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,880
actual docking that particular array was

206
00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:42,960
cutting across the

207
00:07:52,870 --> 00:07:50,870
well after we get the hatches open we

208
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:52,880
got down to what i considered was uh the

209
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:55,280
primary purpose of sds-79 and that was

210
00:07:59,830 --> 00:07:57,440
the crew exchange and to accomplish this

211
00:08:02,390 --> 00:07:59,840
cruise change we had to get john's suit

212
00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:02,400
from the shuttle over to mir and his

213
00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:04,639
seat liner and all the periphery

214
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,479
equipment that he needed for the soyuz

215
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:08,240
in case they have to use the soyuz as an

216
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:10,879
emergency uh escape vehicle and then we

217
00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:12,800
had to get john in his suit and then he

218
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,879
had to get in the soyuz and do a

219
00:08:19,510 --> 00:08:16,800
pressure check and after the pressure

220
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:19,520
check on the scaphandra came out okay

221
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:21,520
then the russians would accept john as a

222
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:23,840
crew person for mayor

223
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:26,960
next slide

224
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:29,520
and after we got john's suit uh

225
00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:32,159
checked out and it was uh deemed okay

226
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:34,479
then it was time to take my ponder out

227
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:36,959
of the soyuz where he'd been uh

228
00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,039
you know for the entire flight

229
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,519
and bring it over to the shuttle and get

230
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:43,360
ready to come home and there sasha is

231
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:45,040
helping me get that out he's the board

232
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:47,680
engineer that's now up on mir

233
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:52,870
and this is a shot of valeri the

234
00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,760
commander that's now up there on mir in

235
00:08:59,350 --> 00:08:57,519
the base block

236
00:09:02,550 --> 00:08:59,360
this was the third commander that

237
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:02,560
i had worked with since um oh march so

238
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:05,040
that's not bad

239
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,480
and then right after this shot then i

240
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,640
was officially a member of the

241
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,480
shuttle crew so then i was with my

242
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:12,480
fourth commander and

243
00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:14,240
that's not a bad way to work you know

244
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:16,080
four different commanders in six months

245
00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:22,870
well in addition to uh john and

246
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,480
shannon's personal gear and the transfer

247
00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:28,240
of that over very early in the mission

248
00:09:31,990 --> 00:09:29,839
we also had

249
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:32,000
for the first time a double space had

250
00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,920
and the aft uh

251
00:09:37,990 --> 00:09:35,920
part of that space hab is where we had

252
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:38,000
most of the other logistics and supplies

253
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:39,600
we were going to transfer

254
00:09:44,949 --> 00:09:42,080
over to mir and then used to return the

255
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,959
items from mir that shannon and and the

256
00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:46,800
russians were sending home

257
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:49,279
this kind of became a transfer

258
00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,800
headquarters here in this corner that's

259
00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:52,959
where we kept our paperwork and our

260
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,440
procedures you can see there something

261
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:57,440
that's also unique is

262
00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:58,640
the brown

263
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,120
cloth lockers in front of me

264
00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:03,920
those were for weight savings in space

265
00:10:07,110 --> 00:10:05,120
hab and you can of course see the

266
00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:07,120
regular hard lockers over my right

267
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,680
shoulder so we had a variety of

268
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,600
different things we could stow items in

269
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:13,360
large and small

270
00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:15,440
behind my back there is where we had

271
00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:17,839
three batteries we were taken up to mir

272
00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:19,600
and also right behind my head you can

273
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:21,600
see a couple of the powered science

274
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:23,680
experiments that we later were going to

275
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:25,920
transfer to mirror i also noticed the

276
00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:26,880
colored

277
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:29,600
labels on those cloth lockers

278
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:31,120
the blue ones meant they already had the

279
00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,600
return items in them pink ones meant

280
00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:35,519
items still to go to mirror and white

281
00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:38,959
cards meant items not to be transferred

282
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,750
as i mentioned we transferred some

283
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:45,360
russian things over this is a piece of

284
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:47,360
russian hardware weighed about 250

285
00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:49,760
pounds it's a gyrodyne this is bill

286
00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:51,920
transferring it from space hab through

287
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,640
the tunnel almost into the ods module

288
00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,640
and he'd make a straight up turn out of

289
00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:58,959
the picture here to go up in

290
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:01,760
to the mirror these gyrodynes they have

291
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:03,519
several on mirror and they're used for

292
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:08,630
this is our

293
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:14,790
and that uh shannon is this is much like

294
00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,320
a couple of days later in the mission

295
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,360
shannon is where the gyrodyne came from

296
00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:21,600
and she assured us she didn't weigh

297
00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:23,279
quite as much and we did move her for

298
00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:30,550
transferred uh some scientific samples

299
00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:33,040
over just to leave in microgravity for a

300
00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:34,959
long period of time this is actually a

301
00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,600
crystal uh growth

302
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:39,600
large dewar it's actually like a big

303
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,000
thermos bottle that uses liquid nitrogen

304
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,320
for cooling and we placed it over

305
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,399
in cavan juan behind a panel and it will

306
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:49,040
stay there until sts-81 goes and

307
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:51,600
retrieves it as we retrieve two that the

308
00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:59,269
well you know i spent a year in building

309
00:12:03,030 --> 00:12:01,279
one doing management training and this

310
00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:03,040
is what i really spent most of my time

311
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:08,790
this is up on the flight deck a typical

312
00:12:13,269 --> 00:12:10,240
flight deck picture you can see the

313
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,279
camera equipment back behind me there

314
00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:15,040
one of our

315
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:17,200
seats there behind me that we use on

316
00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:19,519
ascent and entry and

317
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:22,079
pretty much where we spent a lot of time

318
00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:23,680
taking pictures out the window and you

319
00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:25,120
could always see mirrors you looked out

320
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,990
this was obviously a staged picture

321
00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:33,680
because i don't think we ever saw tom

322
00:12:36,949 --> 00:12:35,279
like this the entire mission other than

323
00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:36,959
when they were taking this i'll tell you

324
00:12:41,269 --> 00:12:39,200
he had total control of the the transfer

325
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:41,279
ops from start to finish i don't think i

326
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:48,710
well here's john uh working in the

327
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:50,480
in his new home

328
00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:53,360
on mir this is the pre-rota module

329
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,399
and

330
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:56,639
the on the left

331
00:13:02,550 --> 00:12:59,519
and on the right are racks

332
00:13:06,310 --> 00:13:04,069
equipment

333
00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:06,320
racks like the ones we have in the space

334
00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:07,200
shuttle

335
00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:09,279
and they're filled with

336
00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:10,720
the scientific equipment that we

337
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:12,399
transferred from the mid deck and the

338
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,360
space have over over to mir

339
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:17,519
and in the foreground

340
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:18,800
you can see

341
00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:21,040
an ex a french experiment called alice

342
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:25,519
and so here's john in his laboratory

343
00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,279
working very hard he just started right

344
00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:29,839
away and as we were undocking

345
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:31,279
you could hear john on the other air to

346
00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,120
ground trying

347
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:35,519
working very hard to fix

348
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:36,720
one of the other payloads that we

349
00:13:41,190 --> 00:13:38,480
transferred that had a problem the

350
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:41,200
bioreactor and he got it fixed squared

351
00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:42,320
away

352
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:48,710
i'm uh i'm here in the uh

353
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,360
in the f portion of the double space hab

354
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:53,839
uh with uh

355
00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:57,040
a new friend the uh orlan space suit uh

356
00:14:01,430 --> 00:13:59,279
the airline spacesuit is the eva suit

357
00:14:02,389 --> 00:14:01,440
that the russians use

358
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,399
and

359
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:04,160
up until this time the russians had

360
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:05,680
never been able to bring one of these

361
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:07,920
suits back to earth

362
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:10,399
to analyze and and to see how they did

363
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:13,120
after several uses in space

364
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:15,199
and so we're the first ones to be able

365
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:17,360
to bring an orlan suit back

366
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:18,800
and

367
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:20,560
this suit will

368
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:23,920
first go to russia and be refurbished

369
00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:24,880
and

370
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:27,040
examined by the engineers at the zvezda

371
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:28,639
company there in russia

372
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:31,839
and then we'll be upgraded and return to

373
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:34,320
johnson space center for testing with

374
00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,720
the space station

375
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,399
airlock

376
00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:40,639
test assembly and

377
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:42,000
we'll prove it out

378
00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:43,440
for use in the international space

379
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:48,790
now

380
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:50,720
we tried to use every

381
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:53,040
possible nook and cranny

382
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:54,480
for transfer

383
00:15:02,310 --> 00:14:58,320
and in fact on our eris rack which is a

384
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,189
test rack that we flew for space station

385
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:07,519
we filled that with russian food

386
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:09,440
containers and

387
00:15:13,030 --> 00:15:11,120
near the end of our mission we removed

388
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:13,040
those food containers

389
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:15,440
from from that rack and transferred them

390
00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:17,839
to mir and then we took empty food

391
00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:20,079
containers which you see in this picture

392
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:21,519
and

393
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:22,800
shannon

394
00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:24,480
and

395
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:26,800
sasha there are taping them together to

396
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:28,720
be inserted back into the heiress so we

397
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:35,269
we have a picture here

398
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:37,760
in the central node and that's

399
00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:40,399
the mirror commander valerie corzone in

400
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:43,040
the node and and that is uh where all

401
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:44,399
the modules

402
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:47,040
uh come together in mirror

403
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:48,720
and we would come up through the cristal

404
00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:50,560
module into this node

405
00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:51,519
and then

406
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,320
you just sort of look around and try to

407
00:15:59,269 --> 00:15:56,560
figure out which module you wanted to go

408
00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:59,279
in and you'd have to look up and down

409
00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:00,079
and

410
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:03,279
it was

411
00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:05,600
probably the most disoriented i've ever

412
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:07,360
been in space

413
00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:09,040
you'd look into the base block and you

414
00:16:13,509 --> 00:16:11,519
would see people in the normal attitude

415
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:13,519
and then you'd uh

416
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:16,000
pan your body 90 degrees and you would

417
00:16:19,829 --> 00:16:17,920
see somebody standing on what appeared

418
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:19,839
to be the ceiling although

419
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:22,079
what really was was the module was uh

420
00:16:27,829 --> 00:16:25,920
clocked 180 degrees and so those kind of

421
00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:27,839
visual things happened all the time on

422
00:16:33,670 --> 00:16:29,680
mir and it was it was very exciting very

423
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:34,870
one of the

424
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:36,880
things that consumed a lot of our time

425
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:39,759
during our dock phase was

426
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:43,680
filming imax tom akers and i and

427
00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:45,920
our commander bill reedy spent a lot of

428
00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:49,199
time setting up imax scenes

429
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:52,720
both in mir and on the shuttle

430
00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:54,560
and we've had a chance to look at those

431
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:56,160
and they look really good

432
00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:58,160
and we're looking for the incorporation

433
00:17:02,710 --> 00:17:00,079
of this uh

434
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:02,720
these scenes into the new imax

435
00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:05,760
film about our phase one program tamir

436
00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:06,640
and

437
00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:09,439
that's supposed to be released

438
00:17:16,390 --> 00:17:13,360
in march of 97 to a theater near you so

439
00:17:21,990 --> 00:17:18,949
and there's this is a a picture of

440
00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,000
shannon and uh this is in the tunnel

441
00:17:26,309 --> 00:17:24,160
adapter of the uh of the space shuttle

442
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:26,319
she made sure she was on the right side

443
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,230
fortunately with all the science and

444
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:38,080
transfer activities going on we each

445
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:39,600
still managed to find time to look out

446
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:41,280
the window and take pictures of our

447
00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:43,120
planet and we'll show you some of those

448
00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:45,679
pictures at the end of the slides and

449
00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:46,960
something else we were taking pictures

450
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:49,679
of what's the mirror next slide please

451
00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:51,520
we had a detailed test

452
00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:53,200
numbered 11 18

453
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:54,720
and it was the photo survey of the

454
00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:57,280
mirror so we tried to take pictures of

455
00:18:00,630 --> 00:17:58,960
literally every square inch of the

456
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:00,640
mirror that was visible to us the solar

457
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,200
panels the the modules everything that

458
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:05,360
we could and the engineers here at jsc

459
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:07,200
will study those pictures and will

460
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:08,960
determine how well the materials that

461
00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:11,200
mir is made out of have withstood 10

462
00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:13,840
years or less in space and they can use

463
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:15,679
those to see where what materials have

464
00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:17,840
degraded what materials have oxidized

465
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:19,520
and you can use the location of some of

466
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:20,480
the

467
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:22,240
off gas materials for instance that have

468
00:18:25,590 --> 00:18:23,360
stained another part of mirror to

469
00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:25,600
determine exactly where it's coming from

470
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:27,520
what it is and we hope to our space

471
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:29,919
station people will avoid

472
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:31,760
those types of materials on the space

473
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:34,000
station that storm by the way is in the

474
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:35,840
southern india ocean and southern indian

475
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:37,760
ocean and it's one of several that we

476
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:39,520
saw while we were in space

477
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:41,600
next slide

478
00:18:44,789 --> 00:18:43,760
well we got ready to say goodbye and one

479
00:18:46,549 --> 00:18:44,799
of the things we want to do is take a

480
00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:46,559
picture the first crew picture of the

481
00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:48,080
new mirror crew

482
00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:49,600
and you can see the three of them there

483
00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:51,360
and john and his uh

484
00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:59,190
shannon says she has mixed feelings uh

485
00:19:02,390 --> 00:19:01,039
about leaving i'm certain that she did

486
00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:02,400
the cosmonauts

487
00:19:06,549 --> 00:19:04,640
treated us and heard very very well that

488
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:06,559
it was a real team up there and

489
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:07,760
anyway it was time for her to say

490
00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:09,120
goodbye and

491
00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:11,440
come aboard shuttle for the trip home

492
00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:17,350
after we closed the hatches uh we spent

493
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:19,440
the night attached to the mere still and

494
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:20,880
then the next morning we got up and

495
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:23,039
undocked and i was fortunate enough to

496
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:24,640
to get to do the fly around the mirror

497
00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:26,720
and this is a shot from that you can see

498
00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:28,640
the docking module clearly at the top of

499
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:30,160
the screen this is a picture of the

500
00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:33,280
mirror at the terminator and

501
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:35,200
you can see the blackness on the dark

502
00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:36,480
side of the earth at the top and of

503
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:38,000
course we're leaving the light at the

504
00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:39,600
bottom

505
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:40,880
people have asked me if the mirror was

506
00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:43,440
easy to see on the dark side and it was

507
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:44,960
very easy to see they have aviation

508
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:47,440
lights red and green and even flashing

509
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:49,520
lights located on a mirror it was very

510
00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:51,440
easy to to see the thing during the fly

511
00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:57,190
well our joint program with

512
00:20:01,909 --> 00:19:59,280
the russians didn't stop when we

513
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:01,919
undocked one of our

514
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:04,320
objectives is to

515
00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:06,720
do a program of earth observations of

516
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:08,880
particular sites of interest to

517
00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,640
scientists both in russian right here at

518
00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:12,559
the johnson space center where a

519
00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:13,919
fantastic

520
00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:16,400
group of people studies

521
00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:19,120
the earth from space and disseminates

522
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:20,880
all that information to scientists all

523
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:23,200
around the world on a continuous basis

524
00:20:26,549 --> 00:20:24,400
we carried

525
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:26,559
plenty of film and plenty of hasselblad

526
00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:28,960
cameras to bring you back a few shots

527
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:29,840
and we're just going to show you a

528
00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:32,000
couple here but we have uh several

529
00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:33,440
thousand more that we'll be showing you

530
00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:35,440
over uh the next couple of years as they

531
00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:37,440
trickle out of building eight next slide

532
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:38,880
please

533
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:41,600
this is uh the view out the aft windows

534
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:43,760
of an area that's been in the news uh

535
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:45,840
uh quite a bit this is the middle east

536
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:47,520
the tale is pointing to the city of

537
00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:48,799
jerusalem

538
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:51,520
in israel and the jordan river connects

539
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:54,480
the dead sea at the bottom or center of

540
00:20:59,350 --> 00:20:55,840
the picture

541
00:21:01,830 --> 00:20:59,360
to the sea of galilee up near the top

542
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,840
and just a fabulous area of the world to

543
00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:03,280
fly around of course it's a desert so

544
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:04,320
you can see it there's not a lot of

545
00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:05,600
clouds

546
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:07,760
and we enjoyed very much flying over it

547
00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:11,280
pretty much every day next slide

548
00:21:15,909 --> 00:21:13,440
this is an area that i saw for the first

549
00:21:17,669 --> 00:21:15,919
time but because it had not been cloudy

550
00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:17,679
when they talk about deforestation in

551
00:21:23,909 --> 00:21:20,159
the rain forest this is it

552
00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:23,919
this is an area the size of about

553
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:27,280
half of pennsylvania in

554
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:29,840
the brazilian state of rondonia along

555
00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:33,200
brazilian road 364 and we've watched in

556
00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:34,240
pictures from the shuttle that are

557
00:21:37,909 --> 00:21:35,520
analyzed here at the johnson space

558
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:37,919
center this area just getting less and

559
00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:40,320
less of the dark forest and more and

560
00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:42,480
more of the light green farmland

561
00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:44,240
unfortunately the farmland is not usable

562
00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:46,720
for very long uh after as little as

563
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:49,200
three to four seasons the soil becomes

564
00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:51,760
unusable it's just not suitable for uh

565
00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:54,159
farming and uh they abandoned it and

566
00:21:57,590 --> 00:21:56,240
take the chainsaws a little further into

567
00:22:00,310 --> 00:21:57,600
the rainforest

568
00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:00,320
next slide please

569
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,760
this is uh

570
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,600
an awesome example of the power of

571
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:05,120
nature as well as the power of man to

572
00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:07,840
transform the planet this is typhoon

573
00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:10,159
violet just northeast of the philippines

574
00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:10,960
and

575
00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:13,600
you can almost feel the atmosphere

576
00:22:17,430 --> 00:22:15,440
getting sucked down into that giant low

577
00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:17,440
pressure area where the hole is at the

578
00:22:21,350 --> 00:22:18,960
eye of the storm there in the center

579
00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:21,360
hundreds of miles away from us

580
00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:23,600
next one

581
00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:25,600
and uh we'll end our earth observations

582
00:22:29,590 --> 00:22:26,960
with uh

583
00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:29,600
a beautiful scene of the aurora uh and

584
00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:31,120
the tail of the orbiter lit up by

585
00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:33,280
moonlight while the stars flicker in the

586
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:35,120
background there and you can see some of

587
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:37,200
the stars that appear to be uh closer to

588
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,200
us than the planet there that's uh

589
00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:41,360
because there's a little air uh that you

590
00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:42,400
can actually see through and there's

591
00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:44,400
that yellow layer right at the top of

592
00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:46,559
the atmosphere that's up about 60 miles

593
00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:48,640
that you can see through so that's

594
00:22:51,990 --> 00:22:49,919
that is our

595
00:22:54,549 --> 00:22:52,000
fragile planet down here and protected

596
00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:54,559
by this very thin layer of uh of earth

597
00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:57,039
and we as a crew were very happy to

598
00:22:59,990 --> 00:22:59,280
be able to fly the spaceship that you

599
00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:00,000
all

600
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:02,480
built and operated for us to get get up

601
00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:08,549
this is just a portrait of our crew

602
00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:10,799
taking the base block of the mirror

603
00:23:13,590 --> 00:23:11,760
station

604
00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:13,600
and the 64 thousand dollar question is

605
00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:21,430
well that concludes the slides we uh we

606
00:23:24,710 --> 00:23:23,039
have a short movie that we'd like to

607
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:24,720
show you

608
00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:26,720
the footage that we

609
00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:29,440
assembled from from our mission

610
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,750
the crew patch

611
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:41,350
this is uh shooting up before we're

612
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,549
terry welcome the pilot

613
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:52,870
j app ms1

614
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,870
ms2 tom akers

615
00:24:04,310 --> 00:23:59,830
ms3 carl walls

616
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,870
nasa mirror number three

617
00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:11,350
on our way out to the astrovan

618
00:24:15,510 --> 00:24:13,200
still awfully awfully dark at that hour

619
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:15,520
of the morning let me tell you

620
00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:19,840
about the light up though big big time

621
00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:21,760
six seconds there prior to liftoff the

622
00:24:26,159 --> 00:24:30,230
and we're on our way

623
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,510
first master alarm

624
00:24:39,190 --> 00:24:37,029
the diagonal thing was shaking so much

625
00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:39,200
that terry and i had uh a real time

626
00:24:42,950 --> 00:24:40,880
trying to read the uh the scratch pad

627
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:42,960
line of what was going on unfortunately

628
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:45,120
we had tom there to mid value select

629
00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:46,960
between the pilot and the commander and

630
00:24:51,669 --> 00:24:49,120
he properly informed us what what was

631
00:24:52,789 --> 00:24:51,679
going on with our vehicle

632
00:24:55,269 --> 00:24:52,799
i think the folks that were there at the

633
00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:55,279
cape had a real spectacular view uh not

634
00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:58,000
only of the srb separation here a little

635
00:25:01,269 --> 00:25:00,320
after two minutes

636
00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:01,279
but

637
00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:05,990
we're going to get a little bit closer

638
00:25:13,750 --> 00:25:10,870
and a special camera in the umbilical

639
00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:13,760
wells that was able to capture that

640
00:25:20,149 --> 00:25:17,520
unfortunately the external tank came off

641
00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:20,159
in darkness so there wasn't any residual

642
00:25:23,669 --> 00:25:22,240
light from the from the main engines or

643
00:25:25,350 --> 00:25:23,679
anything to capture that

644
00:25:27,029 --> 00:25:25,360
well once we got on orbit we opened the

645
00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:27,039
payload bay doors

646
00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:29,440
to reject some of the heat of course

647
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:31,679
produced by the fuel cells and got a

648
00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:34,000
first real good look at the space tab

649
00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:35,360
and the back end of the payload bay and

650
00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:37,120
the orbiter docking system and the

651
00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:39,360
trajectory control sensors those boxes

652
00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:40,559
right on the beam in the front of the

653
00:25:44,549 --> 00:25:42,720
cargo bay very happy to see everything

654
00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:44,559
was in good shape we opened up the hatch

655
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:46,960
to get back into the space hab a couple

656
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:49,840
hours after launch uh after verification

657
00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:51,600
that all the atmosphere back there was

658
00:25:56,789 --> 00:25:54,000
good and it's the first flight of a new

659
00:25:58,870 --> 00:25:56,799
habitable volume it went just great what

660
00:26:00,870 --> 00:25:58,880
a wonderful place to work and have all

661
00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:00,880
the logistics and live and sleep it was

662
00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:03,760
just huge uh i mean it was like a big

663
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:05,360
building inside

664
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:07,120
those of you who have offices around jsc

665
00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:08,640
know what i mean when i say this is a

666
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:15,029
terry's getting ready here to transfer

667
00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:16,799
some of the water specifically squeezing

668
00:26:21,430 --> 00:26:18,720
out a sample into a sample bag for

669
00:26:22,470 --> 00:26:21,440
analysis on the ground and boy

670
00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:22,480
it's a good thing he was in the best

671
00:26:26,230 --> 00:26:24,159
shape of anybody on the crew except

672
00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:26,240
maybe shannon go do that that's it was

673
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:29,200
pretty hard here we are checking out one

674
00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:29,840
of

675
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:33,039
the jsc experiments on board a

676
00:26:38,149 --> 00:26:34,559
bioreactor

677
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:38,159
so called it it is designed to supply

678
00:26:41,909 --> 00:26:40,000
nutrients to all

679
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:41,919
sides of a cell in three dimensions

680
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:44,480
unlike a two dimensional petri dish

681
00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:46,080
cells can grow just like they do in the

682
00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:49,279
living body we took sterile samples of

683
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:52,080
that as john will do every week that

684
00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:54,240
he's up on orbit to ensure for the

685
00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:56,159
principal investigator or doctor up at

686
00:27:00,549 --> 00:26:58,320
massachusetts institute of technology

687
00:27:02,630 --> 00:27:00,559
that everything is working well

688
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:02,640
if all goes well we'll learn how well

689
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:04,799
cartilage like is in your knees or your

690
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:07,840
nose grows up there on orbit

691
00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:09,760
here we are on the second day of the

692
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:11,279
flight preparing the active rack

693
00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:13,120
isolation system a risk mitigation

694
00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:16,240
experiment for space station for test we

695
00:27:19,909 --> 00:27:18,320
tilted the rack out just as people will

696
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:19,919
do hundreds of times on the

697
00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:22,400
international space station uh and this

698
00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:24,640
thing that uh about the size of a big

699
00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:26,960
vending machine here and uh about the

700
00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:29,039
same weight too we're real careful with

701
00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:30,000
and

702
00:27:33,510 --> 00:27:32,080
took all three of us to get that out

703
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:33,520
there and make sure

704
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:36,080
it was all in good shape then carl and i

705
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:37,760
went to work

706
00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:39,200
setting it up for

707
00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:41,039
what turned out to be many days of tests

708
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:43,679
on board the idea of that system was to

709
00:27:46,710 --> 00:27:45,440
isolate the small vibrations that you

710
00:27:48,310 --> 00:27:46,720
have in space

711
00:27:50,549 --> 00:27:48,320
for the benefit of experiments such as

712
00:27:53,990 --> 00:27:50,559
this one this is a furnace

713
00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:54,000
that was to melt metals sintered metals

714
00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:55,679
are used in everything from machine

715
00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:58,159
tools to exotic space structures here we

716
00:28:01,669 --> 00:28:00,320
are inserting a sample into that furnace

717
00:28:04,710 --> 00:28:01,679
for melding and

718
00:28:07,029 --> 00:28:04,720
later analysis on the ground

719
00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:07,039
back in the back tom was examining all

720
00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:08,880
of his transfer items and getting

721
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:09,840
everything

722
00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:10,799
ready

723
00:28:12,870 --> 00:28:11,679
for

724
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:12,880
transfer and here he's getting a

725
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:15,600
computer out that john will need on

726
00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:17,440
mirror and putting it into a bag where

727
00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:19,120
it can be efficiently transferred as

728
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:21,120
soon as we get docked did a fabulous job

729
00:28:24,149 --> 00:28:22,480
getting everything ready so that when we

730
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:24,159
dock bang it was ready and everything

731
00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:26,880
got over uh it was just super

732
00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:28,480
that bright star that you see in the

733
00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:29,600
center of the

734
00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:32,080
optical site there is the mirror station

735
00:28:36,310 --> 00:28:34,240
and at this point we're about two miles

736
00:28:37,510 --> 00:28:36,320
away

737
00:28:39,990 --> 00:28:37,520
and we're going to show you just a

738
00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:40,000
couple time slices here

739
00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:41,279
now we're about

740
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:43,520
a mile away

741
00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:49,430
and this is how we had the cockpit laid

742
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:51,600
out terry was uh in the front and he was

743
00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:53,360
doing the mid-course burns

744
00:28:57,430 --> 00:28:55,919
jay had the master checklist

745
00:28:58,630 --> 00:28:57,440
and then tom was doing the handheld

746
00:29:00,789 --> 00:28:58,640
laser

747
00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:00,799
and carl was working the camera as well

748
00:29:04,950 --> 00:29:02,799
john was our communicator

749
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:04,960
and that left me free to do a little bit

750
00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:06,880
of flying and what you can see here are

751
00:29:13,029 --> 00:29:09,360
the ford reaction control jets uh firing

752
00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:13,039
as we're approaching the mirror station

753
00:29:17,909 --> 00:29:15,760
this is approximately 170 feet as we're

754
00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:17,919
continuing to close and you can

755
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:19,440
you can see the whole mirror station at

756
00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:21,760
that point

757
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:29,510
here we're about 10 feet and you can see

758
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:31,600
the docking module very well coming into

759
00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:34,559
the the payload bay

760
00:29:38,549 --> 00:29:36,480
this is a view out of our

761
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:38,559
truss camera that was located adjacent

762
00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:41,360
to our docking system

763
00:29:46,470 --> 00:29:43,600
and you can see that the closure is just

764
00:29:49,190 --> 00:29:46,480
ever ever so slow it's uh

765
00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:49,200
about a yard in in 30 seconds so you

766
00:29:57,190 --> 00:29:55,669
about this time tom is calling pedal

767
00:30:00,149 --> 00:29:57,200
overlap and then when we get to two

768
00:30:01,990 --> 00:30:00,159
inches we fire uh post contact thrusters

769
00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:02,000
to just nudge the two vehicles together

770
00:30:12,149 --> 00:30:03,440
so that we get uh

771
00:30:12,159 --> 00:30:17,269
and there was great rejoicing

772
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:22,710
on the other side of the hatch too

773
00:30:26,470 --> 00:30:24,710
and uh this is uh this is shannon in the

774
00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:26,480
docking module uh

775
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:28,960
waiting expectantly for uh our hatch to

776
00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:31,039
open here and uh bill is doing that

777
00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:32,480
right now

778
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:35,520
and of course uh uh the mirror 22 crew

779
00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:38,880
uh valeri and sasha and shannon are

780
00:30:41,669 --> 00:30:40,480
are there on the other side waiting for

781
00:30:43,269 --> 00:30:41,679
us

782
00:30:46,549 --> 00:30:43,279
so bill goes to

783
00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:47,430
gets

784
00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:49,279
brought into the docking module here and

785
00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:50,960
so

786
00:30:56,070 --> 00:30:52,320
and this is a view from from their

787
00:30:59,430 --> 00:30:57,029
and

788
00:31:01,590 --> 00:30:59,440

and space

792
00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:05,760
course here's john and shannon

793
00:31:09,269 --> 00:31:06,640
um

you know glad to be together uh again

795
00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:11,440
after about a six-month

796
00:31:15,190 --> 00:31:13,200
separation since they were training

797
00:31:17,269 --> 00:31:15,200
together star city

798
00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:17,279
and shannon had the traditional greeting

799
00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:18,799
of bread and salt

800
00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:21,200
it's a traditional russian greeting and

801
00:31:26,389 --> 00:31:24,080
we celebrated together

802
00:31:28,789 --> 00:31:26,399
well with mere hard docked to the

803
00:31:30,149 --> 00:31:28,799
shuttle and the welcoming ceremonies

804
00:31:32,789 --> 00:31:30,159
complete

805
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:32,799
it was time to go to work and we got uh

806
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:34,480
quite a bit of the transfer operations

807
00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:36,640
done that first day this is terry and i

808
00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:38,320
back in the space lab you can see one of

809
00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:39,440
the large

810
00:31:43,509 --> 00:31:40,960
russian pieces of hardware we were

811
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:43,519
bringing home already there occurs unit

812
00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:46,480
we had two of those we also did for the

813
00:31:50,710 --> 00:31:48,640
first time powered transfers where we

814
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:50,720
had uh scientific experiments under

815
00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:52,480
power on shuttle that we powered down

816
00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:54,880
and moved over to mir this is jay

817
00:32:00,389 --> 00:31:57,600
one of two uh incubators that keep a

818
00:32:01,269 --> 00:32:00,399
controlled temperature environment for a

819
00:32:04,789 --> 00:32:01,279
different

820
00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:04,799
in those

821
00:32:10,630 --> 00:32:07,440
took it over to the new module on mirror

822
00:32:15,029 --> 00:32:10,640
perota and inserted it in a locker and

823
00:32:19,509 --> 00:32:17,430
during all of the transfer operations

824
00:32:22,789 --> 00:32:19,519
and other activities shannon every day

825
00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:22,799
we were there exercised for two hours

826
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:24,880
each day here on the treadmill and the

827
00:32:27,669 --> 00:32:26,080
base block

828
00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:27,679
and one of the final transfer items

829
00:32:32,470 --> 00:32:30,480
which carl uh mentioned was the 350

830
00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:32,480
pounds of russian food we had in the

831
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:34,159
heiress experiment

832
00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:35,760
and this is uh just checking to make

833
00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:37,760
sure we hadn't left any m before we

834
00:32:42,389 --> 00:32:40,159
stowed the empty containers

835
00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:42,399
now we'll take a quick look a quick tour

836
00:32:47,190 --> 00:32:45,600
of uh mir this was my home for six

837
00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:47,200
months now as you see we're going

838
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:48,240
through here we were going through the

839
00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:50,080
docking module and now this is in uh

840
00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:51,279
cristal

841
00:32:55,269 --> 00:32:53,279
um you can see that there's lots of

842
00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:55,279
ventilation tubes there's lots of wires

843
00:32:59,269 --> 00:32:57,760
there's uh lots of equipment that's

844
00:33:01,350 --> 00:32:59,279
stored there

845
00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:01,360
and there's a bungee cord that sort of

846
00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:04,320
helps you navigate back and forth

847
00:33:06,870 --> 00:33:05,360
actually

848
00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:06,880
oh well first we're going to stop off

849
00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:08,880
here at the

850
00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:12,159
greenhouse uh due to the slip i was

851
00:33:17,029 --> 00:33:14,399
fortunate and was able to uh get this

852
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,039
started and it was really sort of neat

853
00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:19,600
to see the wheat see it uh uh start to

854
00:33:25,509 --> 00:33:22,240
grow it reminded me of oklahoma you know

855
00:33:27,190 --> 00:33:25,519
where i used to live and uh

856
00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:27,200
for the first time just before i left

857
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:29,120
the wheat was actually going to seed and

858
00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:31,440
so for the first time in space we had

859
00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:33,519
started with the seed and it had gone to

860
00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:35,679
seed and so i think that's just

861
00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:37,519
pretty neat

862
00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:40,240
going on this is perota the new module

863
00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:42,159
that came while i was there and it's

864
00:33:45,909 --> 00:33:44,000
full of various scientific equipment as

865
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:45,919
you can see there's the glove box and it

866
00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,760
just worked outstanding actually

867
00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:49,679
everything that all the united states

868
00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:50,960
equipment that was there in parody

869
00:33:55,430 --> 00:33:53,519
worked really really well this chair

870
00:33:57,190 --> 00:33:55,440
there in the middle is one of the french

871
00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:57,200
experiments that came up on progress and

872
00:34:01,830 --> 00:33:59,039
it's left there there's just lots of

873
00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:01,840
equipment uh in mir there's german

874
00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:04,159
equipment french equipment there's the

875
00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:06,480
united states equipment and it's all

876
00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:08,560
there and it's very difficult to find

877
00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:10,960
places to store uh store stuff

878
00:34:15,750 --> 00:34:14,079
in the back of proto you can see the bts

879
00:34:19,349 --> 00:34:15,760
and the rest of the united states

880
00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:19,359
experiments now this is uh the node

881
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:22,000
and everything joins up here and when

882
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:23,679
after proto came and then after a

883
00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,760
progress claim uh yuri pointed out to me

884
00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:27,119
that for the first time in the history

885
00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:29,280
of the station of mir all the nodes were

886
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:31,679
occupied and that was a new record

887
00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:33,040
that's what it was designed for and

888
00:34:38,149 --> 00:34:34,720
that's how it uh

889
00:34:43,510 --> 00:34:40,790
oh and this is inside soyuz which was

890
00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:43,520
there and there's our founders in case

891
00:34:46,389 --> 00:34:44,720
there was an emergency we could have

892
00:34:47,750 --> 00:34:46,399
gotten into soyuz and

893
00:34:50,149 --> 00:34:47,760
come home

894
00:34:57,589 --> 00:34:50,159
and the soyuz is still there and it's

895
00:35:01,750 --> 00:34:59,430
this is in the base block

896
00:35:03,349 --> 00:35:01,760
and you can see the

897
00:35:04,550 --> 00:35:03,359
table back there valerie's back there by

898
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:04,560
the table the table was sort of the

899
00:35:10,230 --> 00:35:08,320
central place in mir and that's where

900
00:35:12,950 --> 00:35:10,240
if you weren't working somewhere else

901
00:35:15,270 --> 00:35:12,960
you sort of congregated there to talk

902
00:35:17,349 --> 00:35:15,280
talk to the ground eat and do all the

903
00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:17,359
various activities that

904
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:18,560
you have

905
00:35:23,510 --> 00:35:20,880
and then

906
00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:23,520
you could look the cosmonauts each had a

907
00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:24,720
small

908
00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:26,480
cabin on each side which is very nice

909
00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:27,839
they could keep their personal things

910
00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:29,520
there and then they had a little window

911
00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:31,680
that they could look out

912
00:35:36,950 --> 00:35:34,480
and this happens to be uh sasha's uh a

913
00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:36,960
little cabin and the pictures of his

914
00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:39,280
family he has a three-month-old son and

915
00:35:43,270 --> 00:35:41,839
so he had his pictures hanging up there

916
00:35:45,589 --> 00:35:43,280
and then all their personal equipment

917
00:35:47,510 --> 00:35:45,599
their toothpaste and everything to be

918
00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:47,520
kept in one place

919
00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:49,119
and then the sleeping bag was hung up on

920
00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:51,200
the wall and as you looked out the

921
00:35:57,829 --> 00:35:52,560
window when the shuttle was there then

922
00:36:01,670 --> 00:36:00,470
also in the base block was the ham radio

923
00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:01,680
and uh

924
00:36:05,589 --> 00:36:03,280
we used it

925
00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:05,599
to talk many times we were coming over

926
00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:07,680
houston you could talk to your family

927
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:09,920
and valerie and sasha also like to use

928
00:36:14,069 --> 00:36:12,480
the ham radio a lot this is another view

929
00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:14,079
in the base block going toward the

930
00:36:18,790 --> 00:36:16,960
central post and valeri was

931
00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:18,800
headed in that direction and you can see

932
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:20,320
the bungee cords that were stretched out

933
00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:22,320
there that help you navigate back and

934
00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:24,720
forth this is inspector john has just

935
00:36:29,510 --> 00:36:27,200
moved in it was all nice and clean and

936
00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:29,520
all picked up but then all the new stuff

937
00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:30,800
got in there

938
00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:32,880
and you can see uh i like to read and i

939
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:34,560
had lots of books i put them in bookcase

940
00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:36,240
up there uh about halfway through the

941
00:36:39,109 --> 00:36:37,920
flight and yuri came in he looked and he

942
00:36:40,550 --> 00:36:39,119
said what are you doing i said well i

943
00:36:42,470 --> 00:36:40,560
like to have my books out i like to look

944
00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:42,480
at it makes me feel good and he said

945
00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:44,079
well what's john going to think about

946
00:36:52,870 --> 00:36:51,190
and this is the back end of spectre and

947
00:36:54,390 --> 00:36:52,880
you can see

948
00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:54,400
those are the big great things are two

949
00:36:59,030 --> 00:36:56,560
cameras uh earth viewing cameras but

950
00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:59,040
then those white bags are all the

951
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:00,640
science equipment that we transferred

952
00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:02,160
over for john they're all stacked up

953
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:04,160
there and then that's where i had all

954
00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:06,000
the bags the science equipment stacked

955
00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:06,640
up

956
00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:09,040
uh to take over to

957
00:37:12,310 --> 00:37:10,800
the shuttle

958
00:37:14,390 --> 00:37:12,320
this is another one of the large storms

959
00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:14,400
we saw where we were up there typhoon

960
00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:15,920
yates unfortunately none of them were

961
00:37:23,670 --> 00:37:22,230
they were they were just simply

962
00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:23,680
spectacular if you could see those at

963
00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:26,079
night uh you saw all kinds of lightning

964
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:27,440
we had the mirror crew over to the

965
00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:29,760
shuttle for a dinner that we hosted uh

966
00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:32,160
we treated them to some freeze-dried

967
00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:35,040
local cajun barbecue

968
00:37:39,430 --> 00:37:36,800
they enjoyed that very much

969
00:37:42,150 --> 00:37:39,440
and it was time to go and unfortunately

970
00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:42,160
we had our formal farewell ceremony say

971
00:37:47,270 --> 00:37:44,320
goodbye to really two very close friends

972
00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:47,280
of ours uh valeria and sasha and then we

973
00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:49,680
said goodbye to the new mere crew member

974
00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:50,800
and

975
00:37:54,470 --> 00:37:52,720
it was a very emotional flight i'd have

976
00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:54,480
to say it was emotional picking shannon

977
00:37:57,349 --> 00:37:56,240
up and it was emotional saying goodbye

978
00:37:58,470 --> 00:37:57,359
to john

979
00:38:00,069 --> 00:37:58,480
if you look at the hatch that they're

980
00:38:02,069 --> 00:38:00,079
closing you can see the docking target

981
00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:02,079
on it and if you look carefully at a

982
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:03,599
still picture you can see the repair we

983
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:06,160
made to it while we were up there

984
00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:07,599
this is the undocking early in the

985
00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:09,359
morning there are springs in the docking

986
00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:11,680
mechanism that push the two uh space

987
00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:13,839
vehicles apart and then once you get two

988
00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:16,480
feet away we activate the jets and

989
00:38:27,829 --> 00:38:18,960
then bill gave some pulses to separate

990
00:38:31,910 --> 00:38:29,990
this is a view out one of the

991
00:38:33,430 --> 00:38:31,920
the trust camera we call it is an

992
00:38:35,270 --> 00:38:33,440
auctioning

993
00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:35,280
alternate docking camera

994
00:38:43,829 --> 00:38:41,910
away from us we drifted out to uh

995
00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:43,839
about 150 feet and then bill and i

996
00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:46,000
traded places so that i could do the fly

997
00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:48,160
around and my hat's off to all the

998
00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:50,000
ground people that arranged the timing

999
00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:52,400
so we got pictures like this this is the

1000
00:38:56,310 --> 00:38:54,000
southern island of new zealand the

1001
00:38:57,589 --> 00:38:56,320
southern alps are on there

1002
00:38:59,589 --> 00:38:57,599
our geologists are particularly

1003
00:39:01,510 --> 00:38:59,599
interested in this area because it has a

1004
00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:01,520
lot of volcanoes and some geologic

1005
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:07,030
again the mirror in another attitude

1006
00:39:10,550 --> 00:39:08,800
during the fly around it seemed to

1007
00:39:12,630 --> 00:39:10,560
change colors depending on how close we

1008
00:39:14,550 --> 00:39:12,640
were to the terminator it was really

1009
00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:14,560
really beautiful

1010
00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:17,200
this is off the coast of australia

1011
00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:18,720
and that's that island that the mirror

1012
00:39:22,310 --> 00:39:20,160
is approaching right now is fraser

1013
00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:22,320
island and the town of bisbane is just

1014
00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:24,560
up the coast from that

1015
00:39:28,470 --> 00:39:26,160
here's the northeastern part of

1016
00:39:29,910 --> 00:39:28,480
australia again it's

1017
00:39:31,829 --> 00:39:29,920
one of the capes up there and what

1018
00:39:33,910 --> 00:39:31,839
you've got on the left side as we look

1019
00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:33,920
at is the great barrier reef and on the

1020
00:39:39,829 --> 00:39:35,280
right side of australia there is the

1021
00:39:44,630 --> 00:39:41,510
again we did the fly around to set up

1022
00:39:47,829 --> 00:39:44,640
shots for uh for the imax and again for

1023
00:39:49,750 --> 00:39:47,839
a mere photo survey

1024
00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:49,760
then it was really was time to go home

1025
00:39:58,150 --> 00:39:51,200
we finished up the science and the

1026
00:40:05,589 --> 00:39:59,589
i couldn't figure out why shannon wanted

1027
00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:08,150
then we turned our space shuttle into

1028
00:40:11,589 --> 00:40:09,599
the re-entry vehicle that it was

1029
00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:11,599
designed to be the pink out the windows

1030
00:40:16,470 --> 00:40:14,560
is the fire or the plasma that surrounds

1031
00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:16,480
the orbiter during re-entry that stuff

1032
00:40:19,829 --> 00:40:18,240
seems to reach a critical mass up around

1033
00:40:21,910 --> 00:40:19,839
the tail and you get the explosions like

1034
00:40:24,230 --> 00:40:21,920
that that give the orbiter a thump every

1035
00:40:26,470 --> 00:40:24,240
time you see an explosion that's sunrise

1036
00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:26,480
over my right shoulder

1037
00:40:34,069 --> 00:40:31,349
well we had

1038
00:40:36,550 --> 00:40:34,079
almost a 360 degree turn to get aligned

1039
00:40:38,710 --> 00:40:36,560
with runway 1-5 at the cape and it was a

1040
00:40:40,069 --> 00:40:38,720
right-hand turn all the way around so i

1041
00:40:42,390 --> 00:40:40,079
looked at nothing but instruments and

1042
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:42,400
terry had a real nice view of the cape

1043
00:40:46,470 --> 00:40:45,119
uh got rolled out on final and uh it was

1044
00:40:48,310 --> 00:40:46,480
just the most perfect day you can

1045
00:40:50,630 --> 00:40:48,320
imagine to come back to florida just a

1046
00:40:53,270 --> 00:40:50,640
lo light breeze about 80 degrees and

1047
00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:53,280
bright sunshine

1048
00:40:58,150 --> 00:40:55,040
terry put the gear down there at 300

1049
00:41:01,670 --> 00:40:59,990
doing the final flare here at about 50

1050
00:41:05,510 --> 00:41:01,680
feet we never did see the birds by the

1051
00:41:08,309 --> 00:41:07,109
and coming on in

1052
00:41:10,230 --> 00:41:08,319
and i'll tell you the orbiter just

1053
00:41:12,950 --> 00:41:10,240
handles like a dream

1054
00:41:14,710 --> 00:41:12,960
you can see uh

1055
00:41:16,470 --> 00:41:14,720
a little bit of oscillation as the drag

1056
00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:16,480
shoot comes out

1057
00:41:19,270 --> 00:41:17,520
nose

1058
00:41:22,309 --> 00:41:19,280
is cushioned onto the runway by the drag

1059
00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:22,319
shoot this reefing and then

1060
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:24,640
dog on drag chute works so good that you

1061
00:41:28,230 --> 00:41:26,240
just don't even need any brakes hardly

1062
00:41:29,589 --> 00:41:28,240
at all and about 90 knots and just kind

1063
00:41:31,589 --> 00:41:29,599
of tested them just to make sure they

1064
00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:31,599
were working

1065
00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:34,000
and we stopped with about 3000 feet to

1066
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:46,950
we had a surprise mystery guest welcome

1067
00:41:56,550 --> 00:41:53,829
i'll tell you we were

1068
00:41:58,309 --> 00:41:56,560
just terrifically honored and proud to

1069
00:42:00,470 --> 00:41:58,319
be there to be with

1070
00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:00,480
shannon and welcome her home to be the

1071
00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:02,160
first to welcome her home i guess from

1072
00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:05,040
uh from space

1073
00:42:11,109 --> 00:42:08,960
president clinton and uh mr golden

1074
00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:11,119
we got a chance to give him one of uh

1075
00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:13,520
one of our crew symbols and uh crew hat
