1
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:32,069
welcome to everyone to uh what we enjoy

2
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:33,840
doing most is sharing the experience of

3
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:35,280
flying in space

4
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:36,960
especially with those that did so much

5
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:39,040
work to make it all happen for us as mr

6
00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:40,719
abbey said this was a really successful

7
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:41,600
flight

8
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,559
and

9
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:44,879
i think we prove that we're ready to go

10
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:46,960
on to international space station in

11
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:49,360
cooperation with our russian european

12
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:51,360
and japanese and canadian partners and

13
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,160
and do even bigger and better things

14
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,480
i will introduce the crew of course and

15
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:58,399
then we'll show you some slides and a

16
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,920
video that highlight the the mission

17
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:03,680
as i introduce the crew it the thought

18
00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:05,519
comes to mind that it's becoming more

19
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,040
and more of a daunting task for the

20
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:09,600
commander to make introductions with

21
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:11,520
part of the crew leaving

22
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:13,360
being left on orbit leaving the crew on

23
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,200
the way up and a new member of the crew

24
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,200
joining us on the way down

25
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:19,360
as a matter of fact on the way over here

26
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:21,119
in addition to those complications of

27
00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:22,799
who's on the crew when

28
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:24,080
we thought we'd lost jerry this

29
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,840
afternoon when his wife catherine was

30
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,119
about to uh

31
00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:29,200
who is about to give birth was we

32
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:30,479
thought on our way to the hospital but i

33
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:32,079
guess that's going to be a little later

34
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:32,960
but

35
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:34,720
we're looking forward to a new lineager

36
00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:36,880
in the in the nasa family here real

37
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:38,000
shortly

38
00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:38,960
um

39
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:40,960
i guess uh what we ought to do to

40
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,119
introduce the crew is uh start with the

41
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,960
first slide which is the

42
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:46,399
the crew photo

43
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,320
and uh i will that way be able to

44
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:50,240
introduce also those that aren't with us

45
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:51,759
uh today

46
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,159
the uh the crew

47
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:56,000
as you see it here

48
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:58,000
has a lot of background with the phase

49
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,280
one program

50
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:01,759
eileen collins as our pilot uh

51
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,719
had made the first approach on discovery

52
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:06,320
sts-63

53
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:08,560
a couple of almost two and a half years

54
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:10,959
ago now i guess and uh at that point in

55
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,879
time she was able to wave across the

56
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:14,959
window uh across space through the

57
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:17,120
window at elena kondakova who was on the

58
00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:18,000
mirror

59
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,000
and uh at the same time mike foale was

60
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:22,080
on board with vladimir tetof on

61
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:24,720
discovery so we have a an ever-growing

62
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,280
family here that is continuing to fly

63
00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:29,760
these missions

64
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:32,239
the the two primary payloads that we

65
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:33,760
call them the precious payloads were

66
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:35,920
jerry lenninger and mike foale as our

67
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,319
phase one crew members

68
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:40,480
jerry completed a very long and rigorous

69
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:43,360
program on board the mirror and mike uh

70
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,879
arrived on mir

71
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:46,560
a beneficiary of a lot of the work that

72
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:47,680
jerry did

73
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:49,040
and so

74
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:50,560
mike is continuing to carry out that

75
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:52,160
program in fine fashion as we're all

76
00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:53,599
watching with interest the progress

77
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,720
they're making

78
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,319
recovering the mirror and bringing it

79
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:58,080
back online

80
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,200
the

81
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:01,599
ms-1 is jean-francois clare of wahoo is

82
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:04,400
from the european space agency and

83
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:07,680
he had also done some training in russia

84
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:09,920
as a backup for an eventual flight on

85
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,959
mir

86
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:12,879
again another connection from our crew

87
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,879
to the cooperation that we've had with

88
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:16,800
the russians

89
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:19,599
our two new flyers uh ed lou and carlos

90
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:20,879
noriega

91
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:23,120
carlos was ms2

92
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:26,239
he was our flight engineer and uh does a

93
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:27,760
wonderful job at

94
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:29,280
keeping the pilot and the commander out

95
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:32,080
of trouble i might add and he comes from

96
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:33,120
peru

97
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:34,560
and

98
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:36,080
his family moved to the united states

99
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:37,599
when he was only five years old and

100
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:39,280
similarly ed

101
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:41,280
is of chinese descent his parents moved

102
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:43,680
to the u.s right before he was born so

103
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:45,040
as you look at this group you see a

104
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,879
really international mix

105
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,959
a representation from

106
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:50,480
basically six different cultures because

107
00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:52,879
we count mike foale's british background

108
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:54,959
as a as a yet different culture from our

109
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:57,200
own but it's the kind of thing that i'm

110
00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:58,560
sure we're going to see

111
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:00,400
on future international space station

112
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:03,360
flights and it was a pure pleasure for

113
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:04,959
us to be able to work together in a

114
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:07,200
group like this because

115
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,640
we were able to learn from each other

116
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,599
learn about each other's cultures and

117
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:13,280
and move forward with

118
00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:14,959
new ideas for

119
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:16,639
future space flights

120
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,840
the uh

121
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,680
the two folks that you don't see here of

122
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:21,280
course uh

123
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:23,199
vasily zablev and sasha luzuki in the

124
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:24,800
mirror 23 crew

125
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,160
who uh both jerry and mike are have

126
00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:30,160
worked with and mike is continuing to

127
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:31,199
work with

128
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:33,120
we consider them honorary members of our

129
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:34,160
crew and

130
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:35,600
we really look forward to seeing them

131
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:38,560
return to earth here in september

132
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:40,720
this is a crew patch and the the most

133
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:42,160
important thing on a crew patch are the

134
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:45,040
names of the crew you see here the eight

135
00:04:50,469 --> 00:04:47,680
people involved in this flight the two

136
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:50,479
uh front seaters charlie and eileen then

137
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:53,120
uh the two phase one long duration uh

138
00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:55,280
astronauts and uh the other mission

139
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:57,199
specialist it shows obviously it's a

140
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:00,080
special flight in low earth orbit

141
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:02,479
the sixth mission to mere is symbolized

142
00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:04,960
by the six stars around the mir in

143
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:07,680
cyridic which means means peace and also

144
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,440
world in russian

145
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,759
and the chateau mere flights are part of

146
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:13,600
phase one of the international space

147
00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:15,840
station program that's why you have the

148
00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:18,560
phi the greek letter phi with one star

149
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:21,759
which symbolizes the phase one program

150
00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:23,919
also with the rising sun showing the

151
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:25,440
early phase of the space station

152
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,639
international

153
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:28,400
program

154
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,840
our launch occurred on may 15th at 407

155
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:33,120
in the morning

156
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:34,479
and it was right on time at the

157
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:36,000
beginning of a seven minute launch

158
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:37,440
window

159
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:39,360
we had

160
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:41,120
little to no problems during the launch

161
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,120
countdown and the sn itself was

162
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:45,039
absolutely trouble free

163
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:46,880
and you know from the bottom of my heart

164
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:49,759
i want to say again for the whole crew

165
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:52,320
thanks to all you folks here at jsc and

166
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:53,840
the folks down at kennedy space center

167
00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:55,440
that did such a wonderful job getting

168
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,360
our orbiter ready for flight

169
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:59,840
and because the orbiter was in such good

170
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,280
shape during the whole mission we had

171
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,120
time to do the extra things that we had

172
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,360
planned on doing before launch

173
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:08,000
this is a view of mir from a far

174
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,759
distant uh picture and the reason we

175
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:11,520
wanted to show this is

176
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,199
the first time we saw amir it was a very

177
00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:15,520
small star it looked like a star

178
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,400
we

179
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,880
our main engine cutoff occurred in low

180
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:20,639
very low earth orbit approximately 100

181
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:21,600
miles

182
00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:24,240
well below mirror gave us time to

183
00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:26,639
catch up to mir and we did several burns

184
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,759
over the course of the next uh two days

185
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:32,000
and flight day two we uh

186
00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:34,240
we prepared for the rendezvous and on

187
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:36,080
flight day three we did the actual final

188
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:38,800
phase of the rendezvous

189
00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:40,639
you see the overhead window in the

190
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,080
flight deck

191
00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:43,840
with mir in the background the

192
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:45,360
station-keeping

193
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,960
mirror is on the top of the overhead

194
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:48,560
window and

195
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:50,960
you can see the handheld lidar which is

196
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:53,440
a manual laser pointing tool which is

197
00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:55,520
used to uh to have a

198
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:57,759
very basic measure measurement of the

199
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:00,080
range and range rate of the target which

200
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:01,599
is mere

201
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,120
to confirm

202
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,840
data from other sensors like the tcs or

203
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:07,039
radar

204
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:10,160
the first good hit was about 16 000 feet

205
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:11,280
and

206
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:13,919
that was a very important tool to ensure

207
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:17,199
to the the flying person to charlie that

208
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:18,160
all the

209
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,589
this is a view about 400 feet away

210
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:27,440
you start to see a you can identify the

211
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,280
different modules at the top

212
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:31,360
you see the soyuz and working your way

213
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:34,960
uh clockwise you see a spectre then the

214
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:36,400
base block

215
00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:39,360
uh below that is command one and a

216
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:40,800
progress

217
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:43,039
uh work your way uh continue clockwise

218
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:45,199
you got covant two right in the center

219
00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:46,800
you see the docking module where we

220
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:49,919
would dock directly behind that

221
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:52,319
is cristal which can't be seen and then

222
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,039
beyond on the far side of the node is a

223
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:57,360
perota

224
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:59,039
and uh this is the view we have of

225
00:08:02,869 --> 00:08:00,960
course as we're coming up the r bar from

226
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:02,879
beneath the station during the final

227
00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:04,160
part of the approach

228
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:05,039
um

229
00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:06,400
you have to imagine that you're waitlist

230
00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:08,319
for a minute and do a 180 flip here

231
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:10,479
because our view is actually

232
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:11,919
as if you were standing on your head

233
00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:14,400
because the the actual base block was uh

234
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:16,879
at the top of our image but uh in any

235
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:19,360
event uh the sense of direction is not

236
00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:21,280
really all that important in orbit as

237
00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,639
far as whether you're upside down left

238
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:24,479
right or right side up but

239
00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:26,400
we have a view like this essentially

240
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:27,520
after

241
00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,160
we've done a tail forward maneuver to

242
00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:32,719
align ourselves coming up the r bar and

243
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:35,039
as carlos said about 400 feet from here

244
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:37,440
on in we're maintaining a vertical

245
00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:39,519
position beneath the station to keep the

246
00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:42,080
docking port of the orbiter

247
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:43,519
lined up with the docking port of the

248
00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,880
mirror

249
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:46,399
and this shows a little of the activity

250
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:47,760
that goes on in the flight deck once we

251
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:49,279
get into the manual phase it gets very

252
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:51,760
intense and very busy

253
00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:53,680
i've got the rockets

254
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:55,519
go rockets hat on there hoping that

255
00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:01,269
in spite of that we had a lot of work

256
00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:03,440
going on around us with carlos you can

257
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:04,959
see looking over my shoulder he was the

258
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:06,560
quarterback of the whole operation

259
00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:08,959
making sure that everyone was keeping up

260
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:11,279
and synchronized with all the events in

261
00:09:17,350 --> 00:09:13,760
the checklist we have essentially five

262
00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:17,360
people doing various things in uh

263
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:20,959
in sync to make this all work eileen was

264
00:09:25,269 --> 00:09:23,440
working the r-pop or the rendezvous prox

265
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:25,279
ops

266
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:27,040
display for us so that we could see our

267
00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:28,640
trajectory relative to the mirror and

268
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,800
make proper corrections

269
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:32,720
and jean-francois as you saw was using

270
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:34,080
the handheld laser looking out the

271
00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:36,880
window elena and mike were talking to

272
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:39,200
the mayor on the vhf radio and ed was

273
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,080
doing a an experiment called the osvs or

274
00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:44,080
the orbiter space vision system which

275
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:45,519
simultaneously with the approach was

276
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:47,839
taking camera data to

277
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:48,560
to

278
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:54,320
sensor for proximity operations

279
00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:56,000
this is the

280
00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:58,080
view from in close through one of the

281
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:01,519
cameras and the system that charlie just

282
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:04,480
mentioned the osvs system is a system

283
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:06,640
which if you see the three black dots if

284
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:07,760
you look at the orange thing in the

285
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:09,519
middle thinking that 12 o'clock nine

286
00:10:13,509 --> 00:10:11,680
o'clock and three o'clock there are uh

287
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:13,519
white squares with a black dot in the

288
00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:14,399
middle

289
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,240
and we had a system which was looking at

290
00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,920
these three dots let's see if we could

291
00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:19,680
figure out our position relative to the

292
00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:21,279
mirror just based upon that it's a

293
00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:22,880
system we'd like to use on the new space

294
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:23,839
station

295
00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:24,800
and

296
00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:27,519
this was a test of how well that type of

297
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,959
system would work

298
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,640
of course right here in the middle is

299
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:32,640
the docking target that we use to

300
00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:34,000
visually align

301
00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:38,240
in the mirror in the last 30 feet

302
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:40,880
referencing this target

303
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:42,800
well when we finally docked

304
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:44,160
one of the highlights of the mission of

305
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:45,120
course is

306
00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:46,320
opening the hatch it was a very

307
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:48,880
emotional period uh you see great grins

308
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:50,399
here but uh you should have seen the

309
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:52,399
grin on jerry's face uh when we actually

310
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:53,760
got through to him

311
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:55,360
uh actually his grain was pretty big

312
00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:56,959
before we even opened the hatch just

313
00:11:02,389 --> 00:10:58,720
looking through the little uh

314
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:02,399
window this is a symbolic of uh

315
00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:03,920
the union up there and how well we work

316
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:05,839
together

317
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,000
well as much fun as the approach was to

318
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:10,480
fly as intense it is as it is and as

319
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:13,680
rewarding as it is to have it go so well

320
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:16,240
being able to join with our colleagues

321
00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:17,839
on the other side of the interface was

322
00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:19,360
really a pleasure

323
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:21,920
this is a little gift exchange during an

324
00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:23,760
international meal we had prepared some

325
00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:26,160
food to take from the various

326
00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:28,160
representing the various cultures of the

327
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:30,079
crew members to

328
00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:32,000
provide for the mayor crew and give them

329
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:34,880
a chance to relax and during that we

330
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,320
during that meal we presented them with

331
00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:38,399
some gifts one of which was a photo

332
00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:39,600
album

333
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:41,440
that documented the training that both

334
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:43,839
vasily and sasha had done with us kind

335
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:46,079
of a history of their involvement in the

336
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:48,240
joint phase one program

337
00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:51,120
and uh here vasily has the his album

338
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:53,519
open to a page that is uh near and dear

339
00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:55,920
to me and that's a photograph that uh

340
00:12:01,990 --> 00:11:59,360
was taking taken in two places uh of

341
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:02,000
vasily and i uh first at baikonur where

342
00:12:06,069 --> 00:12:03,680
i was wearing his russian air force

343
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:06,079
uniform and then here in houston when he

344
00:12:10,389 --> 00:12:08,240
came to train here and he was wearing my

345
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:10,399
american air force uniform and so that

346
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:12,240
was a little bit of a nice exchange for

347
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:14,560
us and we included that in the uh photo

348
00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:16,399
album

349
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,839
every day we had a many press conference

350
00:12:22,949 --> 00:12:21,279
on the board

351
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:22,959
usually we spent at this press

352
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:25,839
conference in space station mirror but

353
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:27,279
sometimes

354
00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:30,160
in space help because space had

355
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:33,440
we had double spacecraft it was a

356
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:38,150
it was a

357
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:40,000
big free volume

358
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:40,880
and

359
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:47,590
it's free for us it was very comfortable

360
00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,560
for us in the space hub

361
00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:52,959
the vast majority of our time was spent

362
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,560
obviously working hard and doing the

363
00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:56,560
transfer operations and what we wanted

364
00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:58,560
to show you in this slide was a

365
00:13:02,230 --> 00:12:59,920
reflection of some of the things we did

366
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:02,240
in the morning when our

367
00:13:07,430 --> 00:13:04,240
fax machine or our we call it our tips

368
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:07,440
machine sent up the daily activities

369
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:09,760
and we can thank greg smith and mike

370
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:11,440
shaub for

371
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:12,800
all the great work they did on our

372
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:14,160
flight plan

373
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:17,040
it was miles and miles long i think but

374
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,800
we had to manage this paper every

375
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:20,959
morning and cut it up and put it in our

376
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,720
in our plan and it pretty much

377
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,480
documented the activities

378
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:26,880
that we would do that particular day

379
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:29,120
on the second day after docking

380
00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:31,040
we had international

381
00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:32,399
dinner

382
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:35,519
it was jean francois idea

383
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:37,760
and

384
00:13:41,190 --> 00:13:38,880
that's why

385
00:13:45,910 --> 00:13:41,200
on the orbit we had

386
00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:45,920
food from china france america russia

387
00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:47,040
peron

388
00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,160
different different kinds of food on

389
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:52,079
this picture you can see a

390
00:14:01,910 --> 00:13:53,440
chocolate

391
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:01,920
over the months of training uh we've

392
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:03,920
gotten to be uh great friends and we

393
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:05,680
still are that's why uh

394
00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:07,440
we're all monitoring closely the

395
00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:09,360
activities uh up on me right now because

396
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:10,720
they are good friends of our in addition

397
00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:12,079
to mike fall

398
00:14:17,110 --> 00:14:13,600
here you see the the two flight

399
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:17,120
engineers are bart engineers uh

400
00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:20,000
sasha or alexander lizukin but we uh i

401
00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:22,560
know sasha he's a good friend of mine as

402
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,839
a matter of fact on that uniform right

403
00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:25,760
now he's got a little peruvian flag that

404
00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:28,480
he uh he wears up there

405
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:30,639
for me it's a good friend and uh this

406
00:14:34,949 --> 00:14:33,360
picture kind of shows it i think

407
00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:34,959
one of the

408
00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:36,880
uh the big things that we had to do was

409
00:14:40,069 --> 00:14:38,079
to transfer

410
00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,079
a couple of thousand kilograms of

411
00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:42,560
equipment to the mirror or back from the

412
00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:44,639
mirror and jonathan

413
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:46,240
jonathan and i were tasked with trying

414
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:48,800
to keep track of what had already been

415
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:50,320
transferred over and what needed to be

416
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:51,760
transferred over

417
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:54,000
or transferred back and what other room

418
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:55,279
we had for carrying additional things

419
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:56,560
over and this is a picture of me and

420
00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:57,680
john prince while going through the

421
00:15:03,590 --> 00:14:59,360
lists of

422
00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:03,600
of equipment and checking off items that

423
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:05,600
had already come come back over from the

424
00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:06,880
mirror

425
00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:08,720
trying to get mike uh

426
00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:12,079
oriented to the space station and um

427
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:13,519
let's see where we're looking at here

428
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:15,440
we're into uh spectre as a matter of

429
00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:18,000
fact showing mike around and uh had

430
00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:20,160
about five days of overlap and it was

431
00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:22,959
very critical time uh just to get him uh

432
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:25,120
used to his new home he kept wanting to

433
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:26,560
go and have uh

434
00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:28,160
tea with the crew and i kept saying get

435
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:29,360
back over here i got to show you

436
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:35,430
as a matter of fact if i might add just

437
00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:36,959
for jerry

438
00:15:41,829 --> 00:15:39,680
he raised the notch one level up for us

439
00:15:42,949 --> 00:15:41,839
before we docked he had

440
00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:42,959
sent us

441
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:44,800
plans of

442
00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:46,160
what he would like to do for the

443
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:47,360
transfer

444
00:15:52,069 --> 00:15:49,600
and i think it was a really well thought

445
00:15:54,389 --> 00:15:52,079
out plan that has put mike in a very

446
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,399
good status and that was that as the

447
00:15:59,189 --> 00:15:56,560
equipment came from the shuttle

448
00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,199
normally we would stow it temporarily in

449
00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:01,920
bags that it was transferred in in a

450
00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:03,839
place that was convenient and later

451
00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:05,279
after the shuttle left it would be up to

452
00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:07,120
the long duration crew member in this

453
00:16:11,269 --> 00:16:09,279
case mike to find a place to put that

454
00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:11,279
stuff and in this case jerry had an

455
00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:13,040
inventory plan already established so

456
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:14,480
that while the crew was there while the

457
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:16,560
shuttle was still there

458
00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:19,040
he was able to not only transfer it over

459
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,519
but mike and jerry were able to handle

460
00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:23,519
most of that equipment and find a place

461
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:25,600
to stow it permanently have it

462
00:16:28,870 --> 00:16:28,160
inventoried and film that inventory so

463
00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:28,880
that

464
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:30,800
the inventory list could come back to

465
00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,800
earth and that had never been attempted

466
00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,880
before it sounds easy to do but when

467
00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:36,560
you're talking hundreds and hundreds and

468
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,199
hundreds of items that weigh up to four

469
00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:41,279
thousand pounds like ed said

470
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:43,920
that's an awful uh daunting task yet

471
00:16:47,990 --> 00:16:45,920
jerry was so organized that it went very

472
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:48,000
very smoothly and it left mike with a

473
00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:51,040
great status for picking up on his

474
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:52,560
science mission

475
00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:54,560
and base blocks the containers you see

476
00:16:59,509 --> 00:16:57,600
that sasha has there are for food and

477
00:17:01,990 --> 00:16:59,519
after we eat the food out of it then we

478
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:02,000
they double for trash containers and we

479
00:17:06,549 --> 00:17:04,559
usually put them on

480
00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:06,559
progress

481
00:17:10,390 --> 00:17:08,959
to re-enter the atmosphere and burn up

482
00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:10,400
in this case we're actually able to

483
00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:12,079
bring some of those empty ones back on

484
00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:14,559
shuttle and also some with a little bit

485
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,160
of our nicer trash back on shuttle also

486
00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:20,160
you can see things are a bit congested

487
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:21,280
and

488
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:24,720
that's not an all unusual view

489
00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:26,559
this is the node where

490
00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:29,600
the internal eva will take place from

491
00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:31,039
should everything be checked out and

492
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,440
clearances and things like that

493
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:35,520
if you see the red arrow down there that

494
00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:37,760
we put in place after the fire we

495
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:39,919
decided was a good idea for the shuttle

496
00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:41,760
crew members to be able to find their

497
00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:44,160
way back to shuttle in the case of poor

498
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,360
visibility so that area or that arrow

499
00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:49,440
the red arrow made out of velcro cloth

500
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:51,840
basically uh marked the quick way back

501
00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:54,080
to the shuttle through chris stahl

502
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:56,640
there's bass blocks straight ahead

503
00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:58,640
and you can't see too well inside that

504
00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:01,440
but if you come out of base block uh

505
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:04,000
oriented properly and you dive down that

506
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:05,600
spectra over that way and so you see

507
00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:07,600
some of the uh the ventilation duct is

508
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:10,080
the large duct you see there and some of

509
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:13,120
the cabling that had gone into spectre

510
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,720
and of course that had to be

511
00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:16,640
disconnected the uh

512
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:18,400
the vent pulled through the hatch

513
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:21,200
cleared and then a cover uh was put on

514
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:23,440
one of these flat covers it's really not

515
00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:25,760
a hatch it's uh it's a free-floating

516
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:27,440
plug basically

517
00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:30,320
that was then put on over that module

518
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:33,520
and uh the minute it came close to uh

519
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:36,559
ceiling it was a pretty solid uh clamp

520
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:38,240
down due to the differential air

521
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:39,600
pressure

522
00:18:44,230 --> 00:18:41,520
the future eva we're looking at taking

523
00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:44,240
this more conical cover

524
00:18:47,909 --> 00:18:46,960
and remove a section of that and add

525
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:47,919
some

526
00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:50,160
hermetically sealed pass-throughs to

527
00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:52,320
that section that charlie's pointing out

528
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:54,799
and then reconnect some cables that come

529
00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,280
from inside the module

530
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:00,000
that originated the solar batteries

531
00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:05,430
anything else charlie go ahead i guess

532
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:07,919
did we cover all the modules we could

533
00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:09,280
point out

534
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:11,919
this should be per road up here correct

535
00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:14,880
and covant ii off this way and uh we

536
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:16,480
already mentioned chrystal down here and

537
00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:17,360
we're

538
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,200
taking the picture eileen you took it

539
00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:21,919
from inside the soyuz

540
00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:24,080
and you might i might also add this is a

541
00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:26,240
very wide angle view here so you're

542
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:28,000
you're getting a big distortion of the

543
00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:29,679
reality this is uh

544
00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:31,520
you know kind of a spherical uh

545
00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:33,760
structure with all these hatches uh 90

546
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:35,200
degrees apart

547
00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:37,200
this is a view of us it's actually

548
00:19:42,310 --> 00:19:40,799
oriented sideways it's of uh me jumping

549
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:42,320
saw and elena sitting on the wall

550
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:44,160
actually next to the bio rack which is

551
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:45,840
the thing at the bottom of the picture

552
00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:47,440
you can see uh things sticking out at

553
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:48,960
the bottom that's actually the glove box

554
00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:50,720
where you put your hands into and work

555
00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:52,320
with biological experiments which we

556
00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:54,160
carried up we carried about

557
00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:56,240
11 different biological experiments

558
00:20:01,110 --> 00:19:58,400
which we did using this facility at the

559
00:20:02,150 --> 00:20:01,120
bottom uh it included experiments on

560
00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:02,160
plants

561
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:04,720
white blood cells single-celled animals

562
00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:06,799
and tadpoles of all things

563
00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:08,000
and

564
00:20:12,870 --> 00:20:10,000
you can realize how big is a space hub

565
00:20:15,909 --> 00:20:12,880
as elena said it was the two modules put

566
00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:15,919
together it was a very friendly uh

567
00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:18,400
module to operate and

568
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:20,960
we had the soft storage bags you can see

569
00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:23,600
the gold bags at the bottom and we had

570
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:26,000
also hard lockers for

571
00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:28,720
for storage and uh

572
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:30,240
what you can see here is the what we

573
00:20:33,909 --> 00:20:31,840
used to call the space hub crew versus

574
00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:33,919
the orbiter crew because anna ed and i

575
00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:36,480
we spent more time in space hub than in

576
00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:39,280
india any other places in the complex we

577
00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:41,280
even slept in space hub that was very

578
00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:42,720
comfortable

579
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:44,000
and

580
00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:45,840
that was a good module for both

581
00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:47,440
scientific experiments and also

582
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:49,440
logistics transport

583
00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:50,640
although

584
00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:52,240
the the main

585
00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:54,080
or most of the experiments we had were

586
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:56,480
in the biorack we had a lot of other

587
00:20:59,350 --> 00:20:57,760
experiments in here you see a

588
00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:59,360
representation of one

589
00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,640
i'm actually

590
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:02,480
using a video camera almost as a

591
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:04,559
microscope videotaping the growth of

592
00:21:10,149 --> 00:21:07,520
some spores on a sample on a radiation

593
00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:10,159
experiment we had rmd

594
00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:12,000
well this is still the space hub crew

595
00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:14,080
working together on uh

596
00:21:19,270 --> 00:21:16,480
called the samples of barrack that we

597
00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:19,280
have stored in a passive thermal control

598
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:20,159
unit

599
00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:21,760
that could keep

600
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:23,840
samples to minus four degrees for

601
00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:26,240
several weeks without any

602
00:21:28,950 --> 00:21:28,000
power just passively

603
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:28,960
and

604
00:21:33,029 --> 00:21:31,520
we had a lot of mini transfer to do of

605
00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:33,039
those containers of the various

606
00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:34,400
experiments from a freezer to a

607
00:21:38,310 --> 00:21:36,320
refrigerator to a passive control

608
00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:38,320
terminal unit to the glovebox or

609
00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:39,679
incubators

610
00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:42,799
and we had about we spent about 40 hours

611
00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:44,960
crew time on orbit on these barrack

612
00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:46,720
experiments

613
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:47,520
well

614
00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:49,919
it's this is uh thinking about getting

615
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:52,159
ready to go and leave the mirror which

616
00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:56,159
was a very quiet affair for us

617
00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:58,400
we scurried around as i remember we did

618
00:22:03,190 --> 00:22:00,159
something that i thought was really

619
00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:03,200
new and nice uh prior to leaving

620
00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:04,720
we of course had a little uh get

621
00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:05,919
together

622
00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:08,000
for a tv downlink

623
00:22:13,510 --> 00:22:10,640
with the control center and for folks

624
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:13,520
here on the ground but we also asked to

625
00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:15,120
have an opportunity to speak with a lot

626
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:17,200
of the controllers directly on the loops

627
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:19,840
in the control center and it's uh it's

628
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:21,840
amazing

629
00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:22,720
how

630
00:22:26,789 --> 00:22:24,080
nice it is to have the opportunity to

631
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:26,799
hear folks voices when you're in space

632
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:28,400
familiar voices people that you've been

633
00:22:33,029 --> 00:22:30,400
working with and that have put a lot of

634
00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:33,039
effort into this mission so we had uh

635
00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:35,600
helen dutton payload officer we had

636
00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:37,919
greg smith and i'll probably forget all

637
00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:39,840
of them that got on the loops but many

638
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:42,240
people from the control center uh the

639
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:43,840
flight directors all got on the loops

640
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:45,760
with us and said a few words and it was

641
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:48,080
really a pleasant experience for us and

642
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:50,080
and uh it's just really nice to be able

643
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:51,360
to hear the voices of the people that

644
00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:53,120
are putting so much work into an effort

645
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:56,000
like this but in any event we

646
00:23:00,470 --> 00:22:58,320
we had a little uh ceremony like that to

647
00:23:01,750 --> 00:23:00,480
say goodbye to the mayor crew to say

648
00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:01,760
thanks to all the people on the ground

649
00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:03,280
that did so much great work to make this

650
00:23:07,750 --> 00:23:05,280
such a successful flight and then it got

651
00:23:09,510 --> 00:23:07,760
real quiet and it was time to

652
00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:09,520
to make sure jerry got on the right side

653
00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:10,960
of the hatch but

654
00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:17,350
elena didn't want to leave she wanted to

655
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:20,080
stay with her friends on the mirror and

656
00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:21,760
mike was of course ready to get on with

657
00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:24,320
his work so uh we finally got the hatch

658
00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:26,159
closed and it was very very quiet and uh

659
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,320
we were ready to to get along with the

660
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:30,480
the undocking process

661
00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:32,880
uh a view basically another big fisheye

662
00:23:37,029 --> 00:23:34,799
view but you can see spectre there very

663
00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:37,039
well spectre's uh very good thanks

664
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:39,520
charlie spectre's actually just i think

665
00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,520
the most beautiful graceful looking

666
00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:43,679
module it's got these uh four solar

667
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:46,559
panels of which you can see two here

668
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:48,320
and the one that uh

669
00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:50,080
that the progress collided with is the

670
00:23:54,149 --> 00:23:51,600
one opposite

671
00:23:55,510 --> 00:23:54,159
inboard uh so it'd be sticking out back

672
00:23:57,510 --> 00:23:55,520
that way the one you see here is the

673
00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:57,520
equivalent solar panel

674
00:24:02,230 --> 00:23:59,760
and the radiator is either the radiator

675
00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:02,240
you see here or one on the other side

676
00:24:05,750 --> 00:24:04,640
that got dented in uh during the

677
00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:05,760
collision

678
00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:08,159
um but it's a spectacular view in

679
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:09,760
general in these uh

680
00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:12,080
the solar panels for example on uh

681
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:13,520
spectra are just

682
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:16,000
made of gold metallic material and they

683
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:18,240
just glisten in the sun and it's uh it's

684
00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:19,840
really a spectacular sight just looking

685
00:24:24,549 --> 00:24:22,400
at the sprawling complex

686
00:24:26,470 --> 00:24:24,559
before we leave this slide i wanted to

687
00:24:28,789 --> 00:24:26,480
make one other comment a memory that was

688
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:28,799
particularly special to me

689
00:24:32,710 --> 00:24:30,480
on the night of flight day seven we

690
00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:32,720
closed the hatch and we stayed docked

691
00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:34,559
while we slept and then we undocked the

692
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:36,480
morning of flight day eight well that

693
00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:38,480
evening i was able to see we were all

694
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:40,320
able to see in the window the overhead

695
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:42,080
window out of the shuttle which is where

696
00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:44,000
this photo was taken

697
00:24:47,909 --> 00:24:46,080
into the window and the base block that

698
00:24:50,870 --> 00:24:47,919
charlie's pointing to here

699
00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:50,880
which was uh sasha's room uh mike was in

700
00:24:54,390 --> 00:24:52,559
the window waving to us

701
00:24:56,549 --> 00:24:54,400
and the cosmonauts were in the window

702
00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:56,559
waving to us and i thought that was a

703
00:25:01,590 --> 00:24:58,000
pretty special our

704
00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:01,600
last chance to say a silent goodbye

705
00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:04,400
next slide is on the undocking

706
00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:06,000
we woke up the morning of flight day

707
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:08,559
eight we had very little time to brush

708
00:25:12,149 --> 00:25:10,960
our teeth and we had to get on with the

709
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:12,159
undocking

710
00:25:14,950 --> 00:25:13,679
checklist

711
00:25:17,269 --> 00:25:14,960
and one thing that was different about

712
00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:17,279
this undocking from the previous five

713
00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:19,279
shuttle mirror flights was that we did

714
00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:21,360
not do a fly around we didn't get as

715
00:25:25,029 --> 00:25:23,120
many uh pretty pictures as we would have

716
00:25:27,269 --> 00:25:25,039
liked but we were able to do

717
00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:27,279
a very successful test of the european

718
00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:28,960
space agency's

719
00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:31,679
proxops system that they plan on using

720
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:32,960
on their

721
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:34,960
orbital transfer vehicle for

722
00:25:38,390 --> 00:25:36,720
international space station and it

723
00:25:40,630 --> 00:25:38,400
involved a laser

724
00:25:42,710 --> 00:25:40,640
the global positioning system and some

725
00:25:44,070 --> 00:25:42,720
reflectors that you can see actually

726
00:25:46,149 --> 00:25:44,080
they're very difficult to see here but

727
00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:46,159
they're right around that docking ring

728
00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:48,240
we flew straight down uh the radius

729
00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:51,520
specter towards the earth for 3 300 feet

730
00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:53,440
and had a again well he had a very

731
00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:55,360
successful test to that

732
00:25:58,230 --> 00:25:56,320
well we'll

733
00:25:59,909 --> 00:25:58,240
take a quick moment to show you some

734
00:26:01,669 --> 00:25:59,919
views of the earth

735
00:26:04,149 --> 00:26:01,679
each of us of course when we're on orbit

736
00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:04,159
we like to look for where we came from

737
00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,880
and this is my hometown right up here

738
00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:08,400
about where that cloud is hudson

739
00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:11,039
massachusetts uh cape cod stands out

740
00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:12,960
like no other point on the earth as far

741
00:26:16,870 --> 00:26:15,440
as ease of recognition

742
00:26:18,549 --> 00:26:16,880
you have

743
00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:18,559
the cape cod bay and buzzards bay

744
00:26:21,510 --> 00:26:20,320
martha's vineyard island and

745
00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:21,520
uh

746
00:26:25,190 --> 00:26:22,960
yeah

747
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,200
i've lost track of it in any event

748
00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:27,679
you've got rhode island boston and the

749
00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:29,279
cape and

750
00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:31,440
just a wonderful view of the state of

751
00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:33,360
massachusetts

752
00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:35,039
there was an evening when

753
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:37,679
we flew over this same area

754
00:26:40,549 --> 00:26:38,720
late

755
00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:40,559
oh it was probably actually three or

756
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:42,720
four in the morning houston time and we

757
00:26:47,110 --> 00:26:44,880
could actually see it was so clear in

758
00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:47,120
the east half of the u.s that we could

759
00:26:50,789 --> 00:26:48,640
see from just

760
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:50,799
about the same position looking back to

761
00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:52,480
the southwest we could see new york

762
00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,159
philadelphia

763
00:26:57,669 --> 00:26:56,480
washington dc all the way to the tip of

764
00:26:59,830 --> 00:26:57,679
florida

765
00:27:01,830 --> 00:26:59,840
the entire peninsula and the coastline

766
00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:01,840
was lit up and you could see all the way

767
00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:03,440
the cities of

768
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:06,559
memphis atlanta st louis

769
00:27:10,870 --> 00:27:09,520
all the way back up towards boston and

770
00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:10,880
to have a clear night in the eastern

771
00:27:13,909 --> 00:27:12,240
half of the u.s like that was a real

772
00:27:16,070 --> 00:27:13,919
treat

773
00:27:17,909 --> 00:27:16,080
michigan if you spot it there you kind

774
00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:17,919
of have to turn

775
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:19,360
sideways and you see the hand of

776
00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:20,720
michigan

777
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:23,200
and charlie can you oh laser great i

778
00:27:28,549 --> 00:27:25,120
won't keep up with it

779
00:27:30,390 --> 00:27:28,559
get in trouble in your home states here

780
00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:30,400
there's michigan here you can see the

781
00:27:35,669 --> 00:27:32,400
the hand print if you turn sideways

782
00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:35,679
everybody got that

783
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:37,360
just like that you lay your hand this

784
00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:39,200
way and you got michigan and that's the

785
00:27:43,269 --> 00:27:41,039
way all michiganders talk they all say

786
00:27:44,549 --> 00:27:43,279
okay you know you go on your hand and

787
00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:44,559
you say all right you take the freeway

788
00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:46,320
up here and you go over to the mackinaw

789
00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:47,440
bridge and then you're in the upper

790
00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:49,279
peninsula here

791
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:51,679
and geography 101 of course there's lake

792
00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:55,520
michigan chicago down in this area

793
00:28:00,070 --> 00:27:58,080
traverse city beautiful spot mackinac

794
00:28:02,149 --> 00:28:00,080
island as pretty as it gets

795
00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:02,159
and detroit's down in this area lake

796
00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:05,440
sinclair connecting uh lake huron here

797
00:28:09,909 --> 00:28:07,600
lake superior one of the biggest lakes

798
00:28:11,830 --> 00:28:09,919
in the world up this way this freshwater

799
00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:11,840
uh mass that you're looking at here all

800
00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:14,000
the great lakes is about uh i guess the

801
00:28:19,029 --> 00:28:16,480
second largest source of fresh water

802
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:19,039
in the world and it just stands out and

803
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:22,080
then you get down here to lake erie

804
00:28:25,669 --> 00:28:24,240
and lake ontario niagara falls right

805
00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:25,679
there

806
00:28:29,269 --> 00:28:27,279
so it's pretty spectacular you got all

807
00:28:31,269 --> 00:28:29,279
the canadian cities here i guess about 8

808
00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:31,279
million canadians along the shores and

809
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:32,720
30 some million

810
00:28:36,310 --> 00:28:34,320
americans along the shores of the great

811
00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:36,320
lakes here and this again is pretty

812
00:28:42,549 --> 00:28:39,279
unusual to have such clarity and having

813
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:42,559
been up 132 days i would say that when

814
00:28:46,789 --> 00:28:45,360
shuttle was docked and during the return

815
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:46,799
on shuttle we had some of the best

816
00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:48,240
weather over the united states that i

817
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:49,200
had seen

818
00:28:58,630 --> 00:28:57,190
corsica the most famous french island

819
00:29:00,549 --> 00:28:58,640
as you can see it's

820
00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:00,559
we could call it the thumbs up island

821
00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:02,799
because there is a finger pointing up

822
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:06,080
it's called the the island of beauty

823
00:29:15,430 --> 00:29:08,720
this is where napoleon bonaparte was

824
00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:17,070
there is about

825
00:29:24,149 --> 00:29:20,720
250 000 people living there and most

826
00:29:26,789 --> 00:29:24,159
this is kind of our our hawaii islands

827
00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:26,799
just one hour flight from paris

828
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:28,480
and many french are going there every

829
00:29:34,149 --> 00:29:31,279
summer for the vacation it uh

830
00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:34,159
the population is multiplied by 10 about

831
00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:36,080
in the summer time because it's always

832
00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:37,760
clear like you see no clouds and there

833
00:29:43,190 --> 00:29:40,240
are a lot a lot of little creeks that

834
00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:43,200
you can consider your private creek for

835
00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:45,760
bathing in the sea

836
00:29:48,789 --> 00:29:47,200
well this picture is kind of special to

837
00:29:49,990 --> 00:29:48,799
me um

838
00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:50,000
even though i grew up in california i

839
00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:52,880
was born in lima peru and

840
00:29:56,310 --> 00:29:54,880
that's the town of lima right right in

841
00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:56,320
this area here

842
00:29:59,430 --> 00:29:57,840
typically it's always clouded over so

843
00:30:00,950 --> 00:29:59,440
they told me uh

844
00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:00,960
i probably wouldn't be able to get this

845
00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,279
shot nobody's been able to get it before

846
00:30:07,669 --> 00:30:05,279
additionally all we had were night

847
00:30:08,470 --> 00:30:07,679
passes over lima during our waking hour

848
00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:08,480
so

849
00:30:12,070 --> 00:30:10,240
i actually have to stay up one night and

850
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:12,080
take this picture just a little bit

851
00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:14,080
because it seemed like one hour after

852
00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:16,080
bedtime every day was when we passed

853
00:30:21,190 --> 00:30:19,200
over the west coast of peru

854
00:30:22,710 --> 00:30:21,200
but you can see

855
00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:22,720
from the coastline you had pretty

856
00:30:26,310 --> 00:30:24,399
quickly you get right into the andes and

857
00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:26,320
the ground rises pretty steeply to the

858
00:30:30,389 --> 00:30:28,320
east

859
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:30,399
this is the island of oahu in hawaii it

860
00:30:34,830 --> 00:30:32,080
looks nothing like a hand or fingers or

861
00:30:38,950 --> 00:30:37,350
that a

862
00:30:40,389 --> 00:30:38,960
beautiful place i was lucky enough to

863
00:30:45,669 --> 00:30:40,399
get to live there for three years along

864
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:46,950
at different times but he lived there

865
00:30:51,269 --> 00:30:49,440
too this is the city of honolulu right

866
00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:51,279
here it's really one of the prettiest

867
00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:53,200
places on earth i think

868
00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:54,960
you can see the runway at the airport

869
00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:56,640
there which is a big runway constructed

870
00:31:01,430 --> 00:30:58,799
out of coral which they

871
00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:01,440
dug up off the beaches out here

872
00:31:05,669 --> 00:31:03,039
i lived right about there you can see my

873
00:31:07,669 --> 00:31:05,679
apartment if you look very carefully

874
00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:07,679
there's a small airfield up here where i

875
00:31:11,190 --> 00:31:09,360
used to fly small airplanes off this

876
00:31:15,269 --> 00:31:11,200
coast watch whales which would

877
00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:18,549
this is a volga

878
00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:21,200
vulgar river enters the

879
00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,080
caspian dispoga delta

880
00:31:29,669 --> 00:31:26,000
it's caspian

881
00:31:29,679 --> 00:31:33,990
world's largest inland sea

882
00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:35,830
at the volga

883
00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:37,840
i think it's maybe

884
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:39,760
largest river in the

885
00:31:41,909 --> 00:31:41,120
whole world

886
00:31:44,710 --> 00:31:41,919
and

887
00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:44,720
principle its

888
00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:47,200
waterway

889
00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:48,880
of russia

890
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:54,000
on the north part of caspian it's oral

891
00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:55,360
other events

892
00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:57,120
the dimension

893
00:32:02,230 --> 00:31:59,360
the casper

894
00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:02,240
are 70 150 miles

895
00:32:06,389 --> 00:32:04,559
from north to south

896
00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:06,399
and uh maybe

897
00:32:09,350 --> 00:32:08,320
200 miles

898
00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:09,360
from

899
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:11,760
west to east

900
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:13,600
onikatan island

901
00:32:21,350 --> 00:32:17,200
is one of the several volcanoes

902
00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:21,360
this is russian kurillus island

903
00:32:24,950 --> 00:32:22,960
chain

904
00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:24,960
unakatan has two

905
00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:27,360
volcanoes

906
00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:29,440
and

907
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:34,190
last erupt in

908
00:32:42,870 --> 00:32:38,399
1952 years and other

909
00:32:46,389 --> 00:32:43,909
some of the

910
00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:46,399
most historically interesting places on

911
00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:48,240
earth in my opinion

912
00:32:51,350 --> 00:32:49,600
for us were the passes over the

913
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:51,360
mediterranean sea

914
00:32:54,830 --> 00:32:53,440
and in this picture

915
00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:54,840
we're looking

916
00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:58,080
west and we see the islands of greece

917
00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,720
and if you look closely to the north

918
00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:02,080
actually it would be to the south in

919
00:33:07,190 --> 00:33:04,720
this picture you see africa

920
00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:07,200
we also have turkey at the bottom

921
00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:09,360
and the same amorou

922
00:33:14,470 --> 00:33:12,159
which extends into the black sea

923
00:33:16,389 --> 00:33:14,480
and off close to the horizon is italy

924
00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:16,399
but we can't see that very well because

925
00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:18,799
it's under clouds as well as

926
00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:20,480
yugoslavia

927
00:33:25,909 --> 00:33:22,320
a couple things that are interesting

928
00:33:28,230 --> 00:33:25,919
about greece if you remember from your

929
00:33:30,310 --> 00:33:28,240
history classes in grammar school

930
00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:30,320
were the wars between

931
00:33:34,549 --> 00:33:33,519
spartan and sparta and athens

932
00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:34,559
so

933
00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:36,480
i looked for where these cities are in

934
00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:38,720
athens is right here

935
00:33:43,029 --> 00:33:41,600
and they were a seafaring civilization

936
00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:43,039
and sparta

937
00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:45,120
was just a little bit farther down right

938
00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:46,799
in here and closed by land and they were

939
00:33:51,509 --> 00:33:49,840
the land warriors

940
00:33:54,549 --> 00:33:51,519
we had one passover greece at night and

941
00:33:56,549 --> 00:33:54,559
you could see a lot of small cities

942
00:33:58,549 --> 00:33:56,559
scattered all around the peninsula but

943
00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:58,559
again just looking down and the many

944
00:34:03,430 --> 00:34:00,720
passes we that we had over this area as

945
00:34:04,789 --> 00:34:03,440
well as the middle east are just

946
00:34:06,389 --> 00:34:04,799
mind-boggling when you think about all

947
00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:06,399
the history that has gone on on the

948
00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:07,760
earth below

949
00:34:12,790 --> 00:34:10,240
oh this uh comet hail bop which all all

950
00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:12,800
of you i'm sure are familiar with was

951
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:14,079
getting farther and farther away from

952
00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:15,440
the sun and i'm not even sure if it's

953
00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:17,520
still visible now but we were able to

954
00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:19,520
take a picture of it from orbit during

955
00:34:22,389 --> 00:34:21,520
the time that we were docked the orbiter

956
00:34:24,069 --> 00:34:22,399
was in

957
00:34:26,310 --> 00:34:24,079
attitude control called inertial

958
00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:26,320
attitude hole which meant that we were

959
00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:28,639
relatively stable to the background

960
00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:30,800
stars and we took advantage of that

961
00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:33,200
opportunity to mount a camera just after

962
00:34:36,629 --> 00:34:34,720
sunset

963
00:34:39,430 --> 00:34:36,639
the comet was in the northwest uh

964
00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:39,440
portion of the sky relative to the earth

965
00:34:43,510 --> 00:34:41,919
and this was an eight second exposure we

966
00:34:45,669 --> 00:34:43,520
took everything from

967
00:34:47,589 --> 00:34:45,679
a one second exposure up to

968
00:34:49,270 --> 00:34:47,599
a 30 second exposure and this one came

969
00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:49,280
out the best and you can just barely see

970
00:34:52,149 --> 00:34:51,119
the tail the second tail of the comet in

971
00:34:54,470 --> 00:34:52,159
this picture

972
00:34:56,069 --> 00:34:54,480
a little bit of a structure of mirror is

973
00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:56,079
in the way and of course the earth which

974
00:34:59,670 --> 00:34:57,839
was rotating below has came come out a

975
00:35:01,030 --> 00:34:59,680
little bit smeared in this picture but i

976
00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:01,040
think it's really special because you

977
00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:03,680
can see the earth's horizon

978
00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:05,040
or should i say the earth the higher

979
00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:06,880
levels of the atmosphere

980
00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:08,960
well it's a time to

981
00:35:13,829 --> 00:35:10,880
put everything back away for deorbit

982
00:35:15,349 --> 00:35:13,839
prep and we got back in our lessons

983
00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:15,359
and

984
00:35:20,470 --> 00:35:17,760
prepared for deorbit we were fortunate

985
00:35:22,150 --> 00:35:20,480
to be launched on time and landed almost

986
00:35:24,870 --> 00:35:22,160
on time we had one

987
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:24,880
rev delay to watch for the weather but

988
00:35:29,349 --> 00:35:27,200
we came in on the expected day to the

989
00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:29,359
kennedy space center

990
00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:30,640
we had a little bit of weather to deal

991
00:35:34,950 --> 00:35:32,240
with as i mentioned but nothing

992
00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:34,960
extraordinary and a great team that put

993
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:37,040
atlantis together for us

994
00:35:40,550 --> 00:35:38,880
we hope we had brought it back in just

995
00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:40,560
as good of shape it was amazing that

996
00:35:44,230 --> 00:35:42,240
this entire flight

997
00:35:46,150 --> 00:35:44,240
there were zero anomalies within

998
00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:46,160
atlantis and it really speaks well of

999
00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:47,680
the whole nasa team

1000
00:35:52,630 --> 00:35:49,680
uh it is a pure pleasure to be able to

1001
00:35:54,950 --> 00:35:52,640
fly a vehicle like this when it goes

1002
00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:54,960
perfectly well as it did for us i think

1003
00:35:59,430 --> 00:35:57,119
we had maybe one transducer on entry

1004
00:36:00,870 --> 00:35:59,440
that was kind of flipping a bit

1005
00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:00,880
but other than that we can't really

1006
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:03,520
speak to anything in an anomaly fashion

1007
00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:04,480
that

1008
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:09,680
work by the whole team

1009
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:12,640
well to deorbit we fire the engines in

1010
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:14,560
the back to slow us down

1011
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:16,160
and drop us back down into the

1012
00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:17,680
atmosphere and this picture was actually

1013
00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:19,920
taken not during the deorbit burn for

1014
00:36:23,829 --> 00:36:22,560
anyone who's thinking about it because

1015
00:36:25,670 --> 00:36:23,839
when we do fire the engines for the

1016
00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,680
deorbit burns the payload bay doors are

1017
00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:27,599
closed and you can't see this so this

1018
00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:29,040
picture was actually taken earlier but

1019
00:36:31,750 --> 00:36:30,400
we put it in this place to talk about

1020
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:31,760
the deorbit burn

1021
00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:34,160
and you can see uh it was actually taken

1022
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:36,160
during one of our rendezvous burns we

1023
00:36:39,349 --> 00:36:37,839
were

1024
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:39,359
adjusting our orbit to catch up with the

1025
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:40,480
mirror

1026
00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:42,880
taken at night and you can see that the

1027
00:36:46,470 --> 00:36:44,640
glow from the engines actually makes the

1028
00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:46,480
tail glow which is a pretty amazing

1029
00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:49,040
sight out the back

1030
00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:51,760
and after nine days and a few hours on

1031
00:36:55,829 --> 00:36:53,200
orbit we brought atlantis back to the

1032
00:36:57,990 --> 00:36:55,839
kennedy space center and

1033
00:36:59,510 --> 00:36:58,000
we had a nice day to bring it in for the

1034
00:37:01,270 --> 00:36:59,520
landing

1035
00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:01,280
we learned a lot i think from the whole

1036
00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:04,160
mission and from the landing as well

1037
00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:05,760
since the landing eileen and i have both

1038
00:37:11,030 --> 00:37:08,560
had a chance to go out to ames

1039
00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:11,040
to work the vertical motion simulator

1040
00:37:13,990 --> 00:37:12,160
and

1041
00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:14,000
we had a couple of little things that

1042
00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:16,160
were of interest for the landing

1043
00:37:20,150 --> 00:37:18,240
one of which was a significant crosswind

1044
00:37:23,109 --> 00:37:20,160
gust down below about

1045
00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:23,119
15 16 feet before touchdown

1046
00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:24,640
and uh

1047
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:26,640
interestingly enough the engineers out

1048
00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:28,960
at ames were able to duplicate that in

1049
00:37:33,270 --> 00:37:30,720
the simulator so that we can show that

1050
00:37:34,310 --> 00:37:33,280
kind of wind gusts to future crews and

1051
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:34,320
it just

1052
00:37:37,349 --> 00:37:35,760
was rewarding for us to be able to go

1053
00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:37,359
out and see that in the simulator that

1054
00:37:41,670 --> 00:37:39,520
something like that could duplicate a

1055
00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:41,680
nearly identical condition that we saw

1056
00:37:44,870 --> 00:37:43,200
in flight

1057
00:37:45,910 --> 00:37:44,880
the orbiter behaved very well in that

1058
00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:45,920
gust

1059
00:37:50,150 --> 00:37:48,480
elected not to go chasing it we drifted

1060
00:37:52,150 --> 00:37:50,160
about 30 feet left of the center line

1061
00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:52,160
put the wheels down and then after we

1062
00:37:54,950 --> 00:37:53,520
brought the nose down we corrected back

1063
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:54,960
to the center line

1064
00:37:59,510 --> 00:37:57,200
and

1065
00:38:02,150 --> 00:37:59,520
we brought atlantis to a stop down there

1066
00:38:02,790 --> 00:38:02,160
about 8 000 feet from the approach end

1067
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:02,800
and

1068
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:05,359
gave it back over to uh the sts-89 crew

1069
00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:07,680
is getting ready to go our 86 crew sorry

1070
00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:09,119
who's getting ready to go do this all

1071
00:38:12,710 --> 00:38:11,040
over again for us and continue them

1072
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:12,720
charlie can i interrupt jerry go ahead

1073
00:38:16,790 --> 00:38:14,720
yeah this is off the wall but i need the

1074
00:38:19,430 --> 00:38:16,800
vote of the audience here um i was in

1075
00:38:21,670 --> 00:38:19,440
space 132 days uh

1076
00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:21,680
four hours one minute

1077
00:38:25,030 --> 00:38:23,440
and my wife catherine was waiting the

1078
00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:25,040
whole time and worrying if i was going

1079
00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:26,640
to get back for the birth of our next

1080
00:38:29,109 --> 00:38:27,599
child

1081
00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:29,119
and she's heading into the hospital

1082
00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:30,960
right about now so i'd like to excuse

1083
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,950
i think we can let him go for that

1084
00:39:01,190 --> 00:38:59,430
thanks jerry

1085
00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:01,200
well with that let's go ahead and roll

1086
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:06,470
there's another view of our patch and

1087
00:39:09,910 --> 00:39:08,880
we're getting ready to uh go to the

1088
00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:09,920
vehicle

1089
00:39:14,390 --> 00:39:12,079
in the uh opf we're putting on our

1090
00:39:15,910 --> 00:39:14,400
lesses and getting ready to

1091
00:39:17,670 --> 00:39:15,920
to check out

1092
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:17,680
good pressure integrity in everybody's

1093
00:39:21,990 --> 00:39:19,760
suits

1094
00:39:22,870 --> 00:39:22,000
carlos is buttoned down with the visor

1095
00:39:25,109 --> 00:39:22,880
down

1096
00:39:27,829 --> 00:39:25,119
there's mike and

1097
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:27,839
he was relaxed and ready to go to space

1098
00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:35,589
elena joining us from russia of course

1099
00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:36,720
and a

1100
00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:39,200
very pleasant day for us to go out

1101
00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:40,560
although it was 4 30 in the morning i

1102
00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:41,680
know many of you probably went down to

1103
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:43,520
the cape and had to stay up all night to

1104
00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:44,560
see it

1105
00:39:48,069 --> 00:39:46,240
it was a real nice night for us and the

1106
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:48,079
weather was gorgeous and they tell us

1107
00:39:51,109 --> 00:39:49,200
that we were

1108
00:39:53,190 --> 00:39:51,119
visible almost to mikko

1109
00:39:55,030 --> 00:39:53,200
our liftoff are actually the countdown

1110
00:39:57,670 --> 00:39:55,040
and the liftoff were totally flawless

1111
00:39:58,790 --> 00:39:57,680
from the crew's point of view

1112
00:40:00,310 --> 00:39:58,800
we just

1113
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:00,320
lit up the sky all the way up and down

1114
00:40:04,150 --> 00:40:02,720
the florida coast so we're told that

1115
00:40:05,349 --> 00:40:04,160
view in the corner is the view i had

1116
00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:05,359
through the overhead window i had a

1117
00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:07,200
mirror in my hand that i could look out

1118
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:09,119
you can actually see the vab going by as

1119
00:40:13,430 --> 00:40:11,920
we do the roll program

1120
00:40:15,430 --> 00:40:13,440
i like to talk about the feelings that

1121
00:40:17,670 --> 00:40:15,440
you have during a launch it's actually

1122
00:40:19,109 --> 00:40:17,680
very much like the shuttle simulator

1123
00:40:20,950 --> 00:40:19,119
there's a lot of shaking and rocking

1124
00:40:22,950 --> 00:40:20,960
going on inside you can see out the

1125
00:40:24,710 --> 00:40:22,960
window flashes of light

1126
00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:24,720
that sometimes can interrupt your vision

1127
00:40:29,430 --> 00:40:26,800
if you look outside too much

1128
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:29,440
also the sound is like to me it's like

1129
00:40:33,829 --> 00:40:31,040
standing in a room that's on fire it's

1130
00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:33,839
just a very uh low level

1131
00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:35,839
uh sound that's very similar to what you

1132
00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:38,480
hear outside during a launch

1133
00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:41,280
a solid rocket booster separation and

1134
00:40:45,430 --> 00:40:43,440
uh from this point on we're back to 1g

1135
00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:45,440
as we slowly accelerate up to three g's

1136
00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:47,040
and then main engine cut off next thing

1137
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:48,480
you know we're in orbit we've separated

1138
00:40:51,589 --> 00:40:50,160
from the tank and we are taking

1139
00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:51,599
photographs of the tank here crossing

1140
00:40:56,630 --> 00:40:54,480
over northern part of africa

1141
00:40:57,910 --> 00:40:56,640
post insertion main activity is to

1142
00:40:59,990 --> 00:40:57,920
activate the

1143
00:41:01,670 --> 00:41:00,000
experiments and here the space hub the

1144
00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:01,680
main

1145
00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:03,440
cargo in the payload bay and we had to

1146
00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:05,680
open three doors to access into space

1147
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:07,440
hub through a very long tunnel as you

1148
00:41:10,710 --> 00:41:08,560
can see

1149
00:41:12,710 --> 00:41:10,720
space hub was very clean and we spent

1150
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:12,720
few hours to set up

1151
00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:14,480
the whole module for the experiments and

1152
00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:21,270
this is a neat picture of a rendezvous

1153
00:41:26,870 --> 00:41:24,079
burn i lost

1154
00:41:28,470 --> 00:41:26,880
i lost my hat there momentarily but

1155
00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,480
we get a pretty good acceleration out of

1156
00:41:31,589 --> 00:41:30,240
the ohm's engine when we

1157
00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:31,599
make our approach to the mirror we

1158
00:41:36,390 --> 00:41:33,520
burned several times here down at the

1159
00:41:38,150 --> 00:41:36,400
bottom you can barely see the station

1160
00:41:40,150 --> 00:41:38,160
we had a very low bait angle they call

1161
00:41:43,109 --> 00:41:40,160
it which is the angle between the sun

1162
00:41:45,190 --> 00:41:43,119
and our orbit plane and that meant that

1163
00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:45,200
the the mirror was actually going to

1164
00:41:48,470 --> 00:41:46,640
eclipse the sun force you see it's

1165
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:48,480
getting dark in the orbiter and there

1166
00:41:53,030 --> 00:41:50,560
goes the sun and there's the mirror and

1167
00:41:55,349 --> 00:41:53,040
to see that on orbit was amazing because

1168
00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:55,359
the mirror actually glows white because

1169
00:41:58,710 --> 00:41:57,119
the sun that you can't see is still

1170
00:42:00,150 --> 00:41:58,720
bouncing off of our payload bay doors

1171
00:42:03,030 --> 00:42:00,160
and illuminating

1172
00:42:05,109 --> 00:42:03,040
the mirror

1173
00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:05,119
there's a view that jerry was able to

1174
00:42:09,349 --> 00:42:07,040
see of us approaching

1175
00:42:13,829 --> 00:42:09,359
and uh and then again our center line

1176
00:42:17,030 --> 00:42:15,190
this

1177
00:42:19,589 --> 00:42:17,040
step by step we get a little bit closer

1178
00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:19,599
and of course our task is to inch in uh

1179
00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:22,880
gradually according to a given timeline

1180
00:42:26,550 --> 00:42:24,319
and

1181
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:26,560
everything worked so well for us that we

1182
00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:27,680
had a very

1183
00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:29,040
uh

1184
00:42:32,950 --> 00:42:30,400
docile

1185
00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:32,960
contact and you can see the sun was just

1186
00:42:36,790 --> 00:42:35,040
about to come up and rise over the ohms

1187
00:42:40,069 --> 00:42:36,800
pod as we contacted so this is all

1188
00:42:41,349 --> 00:42:40,079
silhouetted here but we make a very soft

1189
00:42:44,309 --> 00:42:41,359
contact there

1190
00:42:45,670 --> 00:42:44,319
and almost no oscillations after after

1191
00:42:47,270 --> 00:42:45,680
capture

1192
00:42:49,510 --> 00:42:47,280
everything went smoothly on the pressure

1193
00:42:51,190 --> 00:42:49,520
checks so we had the opportunity to open

1194
00:42:53,190 --> 00:42:51,200
the hatch right away and get a good good

1195
00:42:56,230 --> 00:42:53,200
view of

1196
00:42:57,430 --> 00:42:56,240
our colleagues on the other side

1197
00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:57,440
well here in this shot you'll see what

1198
00:43:01,990 --> 00:42:59,280
you weren't able to see in the still

1199
00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:02,000
picture earlier which is the uh the true

1200
00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:04,240
feeling of joy and uh celebration we had

1201
00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:07,760
elena brought in traditional black bread

1202
00:43:11,510 --> 00:43:09,520
salt and tea

1203
00:43:13,510 --> 00:43:11,520
there's a

1204
00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:13,520
vasily first time here you'll see jerry

1205
00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:14,960
for the first time

1206
00:43:18,950 --> 00:43:17,040
and i just looked that smile on his face

1207
00:43:20,630 --> 00:43:18,960
uh and i and the obvious need for a

1208
00:43:21,990 --> 00:43:20,640
haircut uh

1209
00:43:23,510 --> 00:43:22,000
they hadn't had a vacuum cleaner for a

1210
00:43:25,270 --> 00:43:23,520
while so we helped fix them up there so

1211
00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:25,280
they can get their hair cut

1212
00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:27,200
and we proceeded on in

1213
00:43:30,870 --> 00:43:29,200
to do our first press conference in the

1214
00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:30,880
in the base block

1215
00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:33,280
and uh here's eileen's a attempt to

1216
00:43:36,710 --> 00:43:34,880
confuse all children throughout the

1217
00:43:52,950 --> 00:43:36,720
world as to how we really move around in

1218
00:43:55,910 --> 00:43:54,150
okay

1219
00:43:57,990 --> 00:43:55,920
well we continue to had our uh our first

1220
00:43:59,670 --> 00:43:58,000
press conference uh which was uh shortly

1221
00:44:02,470 --> 00:43:59,680
thereafter followed by eating of the

1222
00:44:04,309 --> 00:44:02,480
bread and uh actually jerry had his uh

1223
00:44:06,230 --> 00:44:04,319
pretzels that he'd been wanting

1224
00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:06,240
and as uh and i already mentioned the

1225
00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:09,359
second evening uh on the dock phase we

1226
00:44:12,790 --> 00:44:11,200
had an international meal with food from

1227
00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:12,800
all the countries represented by the

1228
00:44:17,270 --> 00:44:14,560
crew we had food from

1229
00:44:18,950 --> 00:44:17,280
russia america peru china with of course

1230
00:44:21,109 --> 00:44:18,960
food from france with foie gras and

1231
00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:21,119
coffee here goat cheese

1232
00:44:29,829 --> 00:44:28,309
we had barbecue from petey's dehydrated

1233
00:44:32,150 --> 00:44:29,839
and

1234
00:44:35,670 --> 00:44:32,160
for three hours the ground never called

1235
00:44:38,230 --> 00:44:35,680
us and we had a very good time

1236
00:44:40,230 --> 00:44:38,240
here you see a chocolate gift from isa

1237
00:44:40,950 --> 00:44:40,240
with a logo of the different partners in

1238
00:44:44,150 --> 00:44:40,960
the

1239
00:44:47,829 --> 00:44:44,160
international space station programs

1240
00:44:50,950 --> 00:44:47,839
all kinds of food down here on the table

1241
00:44:53,270 --> 00:44:50,960
as you can see the chocolate shuttles

1242
00:44:54,790 --> 00:44:53,280
flying around

1243
00:45:03,190 --> 00:44:54,800
eileen thinks that some of them may be

1244
00:45:06,950 --> 00:45:04,550
it was really neat that this was all

1245
00:45:10,630 --> 00:45:06,960
spontaneous too to have that kind of a a

1246
00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:12,309
this is uh some of the handover

1247
00:45:16,710 --> 00:45:14,560
operations between mike and jerry

1248
00:45:18,069 --> 00:45:16,720
as jerry and mike discuss

1249
00:45:19,430 --> 00:45:18,079
the equipment that's being brought over

1250
00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:19,440
and here we are

1251
00:45:24,309 --> 00:45:21,920
with uh the commander of the station

1252
00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:24,319
vasili trying to figure out uh which

1253
00:45:28,710 --> 00:45:26,800
items uh we need to bring over next back

1254
00:45:30,230 --> 00:45:28,720
over to the space hub

1255
00:45:31,510 --> 00:45:30,240
looks like vasily's stealing something

1256
00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:31,520
there but that's actually his checklist

1257
00:45:40,710 --> 00:45:39,270
carlos brushing his hair in the mirror

1258
00:45:45,109 --> 00:45:40,720
hair management is very important on

1259
00:45:48,150 --> 00:45:46,950
this is the mere base block

1260
00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:48,160
you can see the table where we had

1261
00:45:51,990 --> 00:45:49,920
dinner the other night there's mike uh

1262
00:45:55,750 --> 00:45:52,000
having his lunch

1263
00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:55,760
and uh sasha and vasily you can see uh

1264
00:45:58,630 --> 00:45:57,440
how much equipment is around inside

1265
00:46:00,630 --> 00:45:58,640
there and it's actually one of the more

1266
00:46:01,670 --> 00:46:00,640
spacious modules

1267
00:46:04,230 --> 00:46:01,680
in some of the other modules there's

1268
00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:04,240
quite a bit more stuff

1269
00:46:11,990 --> 00:46:06,079
this is sasha's bedroom you can see that

1270
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,190
there's a shuttle parked out there today

1271
00:46:20,710 --> 00:46:19,270
this is one of these uh beautiful

1272
00:46:24,069 --> 00:46:20,720
historic views that i was telling you

1273
00:46:25,510 --> 00:46:24,079
about earlier um you see the red sea

1274
00:46:28,630 --> 00:46:25,520
the uh

1275
00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:28,640
gulf of suez the gulf of aqaba the sinai

1276
00:46:31,990 --> 00:46:30,720
peninsula of course uh we're dr mir at

1277
00:46:33,670 --> 00:46:32,000
this point

1278
00:46:36,069 --> 00:46:33,680
here's the nile river

1279
00:46:37,589 --> 00:46:36,079
down at the bottom you can see the nile

1280
00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:37,599
delta

1281
00:46:42,069 --> 00:46:39,760
as we uh move on further to the east

1282
00:46:43,109 --> 00:46:42,079
this is the boulder river delta that

1283
00:46:44,630 --> 00:46:43,119
were

1284
00:46:46,069 --> 00:46:44,640
flying over asia

1285
00:46:47,670 --> 00:46:46,079
at this point

1286
00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:47,680
again you can see the docking module on

1287
00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:50,480
the left side that was added on sts-74

1288
00:46:54,950 --> 00:46:52,880
about a year and a half ago

1289
00:46:57,430 --> 00:46:54,960
in this view up from the docking module

1290
00:46:59,829 --> 00:46:57,440
you see cristal and then spectre to the

1291
00:47:07,430 --> 00:46:59,839
left covant 2 to the right base module

1292
00:47:11,190 --> 00:47:09,430
well all good things

1293
00:47:13,510 --> 00:47:11,200
had to come to an end yeah we worked

1294
00:47:15,030 --> 00:47:13,520
very well together on board uh we worked

1295
00:47:17,750 --> 00:47:15,040
so efficiently we had time to have meals

1296
00:47:19,910 --> 00:47:17,760
together and then we had to say goodbye

1297
00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:19,920
uh this was a much more somber occasion

1298
00:47:24,630 --> 00:47:22,319
than uh we'd had on docking day

1299
00:47:27,270 --> 00:47:24,640
uh it was actually fairly quiet until we

1300
00:47:29,190 --> 00:47:27,280
decided well it was time to start uh

1301
00:47:31,190 --> 00:47:29,200
saying goodbye and working our way out

1302
00:47:33,270 --> 00:47:31,200
the door uh there was no great rush to

1303
00:47:34,950 --> 00:47:33,280
do this and luckily uh the ground was

1304
00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:34,960
able to give us all the time we wanted

1305
00:47:48,950 --> 00:47:47,430
here we see the uh the hatch closing as

1306
00:47:50,550 --> 00:47:48,960
i mentioned earlier

1307
00:47:52,710 --> 00:47:50,560
this was quite a sad time for us and it

1308
00:47:55,589 --> 00:47:52,720
was very quiet as a poised as opposed to

1309
00:47:57,829 --> 00:47:55,599
the very noisy time when we had docked

1310
00:48:00,630 --> 00:47:57,839
uh here's the undocking uh you can see

1311
00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:00,640
the shuttle jets firing

1312
00:48:05,349 --> 00:48:03,599
separation the springs and the

1313
00:48:07,430 --> 00:48:05,359
in the docking mechanism give us the

1314
00:48:08,309 --> 00:48:07,440
initial push-off from mir

1315
00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:08,319
and

1316
00:48:13,589 --> 00:48:10,960
at approximately uh just a few feet

1317
00:48:15,750 --> 00:48:13,599
two feet after we separated from here i

1318
00:48:18,069 --> 00:48:15,760
fired several jets to

1319
00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:18,079
get us separating down the r bar we had

1320
00:48:21,829 --> 00:48:20,400
extra fuel because charlie had done such

1321
00:48:23,349 --> 00:48:21,839
a great job on the rendezvous we had

1322
00:48:24,950 --> 00:48:23,359
extra fuel to spend during the

1323
00:48:27,589 --> 00:48:24,960
separation

1324
00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:27,599
so we had reached a quite high quite a

1325
00:48:30,790 --> 00:48:29,280
high separation rate

1326
00:48:32,069 --> 00:48:30,800
to increase the efficiency of the

1327
00:48:34,150 --> 00:48:32,079
undocking

1328
00:48:35,910 --> 00:48:34,160
and the test that we were doing view

1329
00:48:38,069 --> 00:48:35,920
from mirror that was downlinked of the

1330
00:48:39,190 --> 00:48:38,079
shuttle the mirror had great views of us

1331
00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:39,200
because they were looking down at the

1332
00:48:42,549 --> 00:48:40,640
earth but all we had was a view of

1333
00:48:43,510 --> 00:48:42,559
mirror against the dark sky as we looked

1334
00:48:45,430 --> 00:48:43,520
up

1335
00:48:46,950 --> 00:48:45,440
after undock it was time to resume more

1336
00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:46,960
intense activity on the scientific

1337
00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:49,440
experiments here you saw barrack

1338
00:48:54,309 --> 00:48:51,680
helena ed and i were all scheduled for

1339
00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:54,319
those about 10 different experiments

1340
00:48:58,230 --> 00:48:56,559
using the baroque facility incubators

1341
00:49:00,710 --> 00:48:58,240
and glovebox

1342
00:49:04,069 --> 00:49:00,720
and you see here elena working on the

1343
00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:04,079
osteo osteomast these experiments on

1344
00:49:07,349 --> 00:49:05,599
bone cells

1345
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:07,359
we had also

1346
00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:09,760
the glovebox was used for

1347
00:49:13,990 --> 00:49:11,280
experiments where some

1348
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:14,000
dangerous chemicals were used

1349
00:49:17,270 --> 00:49:15,520
here are some tadpoles that we are

1350
00:49:19,829 --> 00:49:17,280
developing their neural vestibular

1351
00:49:21,030 --> 00:49:19,839
systems in 0g and we are not swimming as

1352
00:49:22,150 --> 00:49:21,040
the same

1353
00:49:24,150 --> 00:49:22,160
tadpoles

1354
00:49:25,670 --> 00:49:24,160
grown on earth

1355
00:49:27,990 --> 00:49:25,680
this is an experiment to look at the

1356
00:49:30,309 --> 00:49:28,000
motion of liquids inside rotating tanks

1357
00:49:32,230 --> 00:49:30,319
which you may ask why is that important

1358
00:49:35,109 --> 00:49:32,240
and the reason is because

1359
00:49:37,270 --> 00:49:35,119
fuel tanks on rotating satellites have

1360
00:49:38,549 --> 00:49:37,280
often have a problem where the the fuel

1361
00:49:39,990 --> 00:49:38,559
inside them starts to rotate in a

1362
00:49:40,950 --> 00:49:40,000
different direction than the rest of the

1363
00:49:42,549 --> 00:49:40,960
satellite which makes the whole

1364
00:49:44,069 --> 00:49:42,559
satellite wobble

1365
00:49:45,510 --> 00:49:44,079
which is not something that satellite

1366
00:49:48,549 --> 00:49:45,520
designers like to have on their very

1367
00:49:49,910 --> 00:49:48,559
expensive satellites so we had a

1368
00:49:51,750 --> 00:49:49,920
set of rotating tanks here and you can

1369
00:49:54,069 --> 00:49:51,760
see the fluid inside they're rotating

1370
00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:54,079
back and forth around inside that tank

1371
00:49:56,950 --> 00:49:55,280
and as you can see it's rotating in a

1372
00:49:59,270 --> 00:49:56,960
different direction this is a view taken

1373
00:50:00,790 --> 00:49:59,280
from the inside

1374
00:50:03,349 --> 00:50:00,800
we also had several experiments where we

1375
00:50:05,829 --> 00:50:03,359
drew protein crystals

1376
00:50:08,470 --> 00:50:05,839
that's a new field that we've actually

1377
00:50:09,349 --> 00:50:08,480
flown many times now on the orbiter

1378
00:50:10,470 --> 00:50:09,359
and

1379
00:50:12,630 --> 00:50:10,480
it's

1380
00:50:14,390 --> 00:50:12,640
stands to give us some great benefits in

1381
00:50:17,030 --> 00:50:14,400
the future as we develop

1382
00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:17,040
custom medicines uh and for diseases

1383
00:50:20,630 --> 00:50:19,040
that are a challenge to the community

1384
00:50:22,630 --> 00:50:20,640
right now

1385
00:50:24,630 --> 00:50:22,640
this is the output from our fax machine

1386
00:50:26,230 --> 00:50:24,640
that i was talking about earlier

1387
00:50:27,670 --> 00:50:26,240
we wanted to illustrate how long this

1388
00:50:29,910 --> 00:50:27,680
really is extended all the way down the

1389
00:50:32,230 --> 00:50:29,920
tunnel into the space hub

1390
00:50:33,910 --> 00:50:32,240
view from the space hab this is our meal

1391
00:50:35,670 --> 00:50:33,920
time you can see the space hub is

1392
00:50:37,829 --> 00:50:35,680
extremely spacious and it's a very

1393
00:50:40,309 --> 00:50:37,839
comfortable place for astronauts to work

1394
00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:40,319
to live and work

1395
00:50:44,230 --> 00:50:42,720
jerry's showing us

1396
00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:44,240
some of the fresh tortillas that we had

1397
00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:45,280
packed

1398
00:50:48,069 --> 00:50:46,400
that

1399
00:50:49,750 --> 00:50:48,079
lasted the whole mission

1400
00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:49,760
this is not a bubble this is actually a

1401
00:50:54,549 --> 00:50:52,800
blob of water that jean francois had

1402
00:50:56,069 --> 00:50:54,559
made from a straw in one of his drinks

1403
00:50:58,230 --> 00:50:56,079
and we did our own

1404
00:51:00,549 --> 00:50:58,240
liquid motion experiment informally as a

1405
00:51:02,549 --> 00:51:00,559
crew as we watch the behavior of these

1406
00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:02,559
things in space

1407
00:51:05,829 --> 00:51:03,839
one of the things we have to watch out

1408
00:51:07,030 --> 00:51:05,839
for is the degradation to our bodies

1409
00:51:09,030 --> 00:51:07,040
when we're on orbit because we're not

1410
00:51:10,710 --> 00:51:09,040
really fully utilizing all our muscles

1411
00:51:13,109 --> 00:51:10,720
so we had lots of opportunity to

1412
00:51:15,829 --> 00:51:13,119
exercise either on our ergometer or

1413
00:51:17,349 --> 00:51:15,839
cycle or on treadmill

1414
00:51:19,270 --> 00:51:17,359
jerry probably logged more miles on

1415
00:51:21,750 --> 00:51:19,280
orbit than

1416
00:51:23,829 --> 00:51:21,760
at least anybody that i know

1417
00:51:25,829 --> 00:51:23,839
but he provided a lot of feedback to the

1418
00:51:27,750 --> 00:51:25,839
community here on this treadmill that

1419
00:51:29,670 --> 00:51:27,760
we're developing for

1420
00:51:32,470 --> 00:51:29,680
station

1421
00:51:38,309 --> 00:51:32,480
another form of exercise here the mass

1422
00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:40,710
actually right here oh yes that's right

1423
00:51:44,790 --> 00:51:42,400
uh almost missed it going off the top of

1424
00:51:47,270 --> 00:51:44,800
the screen right now is uh is lima once

1425
00:51:49,030 --> 00:51:47,280
again we uh the uh the ground was able

1426
00:51:50,790 --> 00:51:49,040
to get this shot for us one uh night

1427
00:51:52,470 --> 00:51:50,800
while we were sleeping

1428
00:51:54,390 --> 00:51:52,480
in the view right now is the nazca

1429
00:51:55,750 --> 00:51:54,400
desert where you have those great lines

1430
00:51:57,109 --> 00:51:55,760
in the sand out there we couldn't see

1431
00:51:58,790 --> 00:51:57,119
them from on orbit

1432
00:52:00,230 --> 00:51:58,800
this again is hawaii that's the big

1433
00:52:04,150 --> 00:52:00,240
island up at the top you can see the

1434
00:52:06,950 --> 00:52:04,160
string of islands stretching down below

1435
00:52:08,950 --> 00:52:06,960
maui molokai we had a very nice

1436
00:52:11,030 --> 00:52:08,960
very nice night pass over italy you

1437
00:52:14,069 --> 00:52:11,040
recognize the boot of italy and sicilia

1438
00:52:17,030 --> 00:52:14,079
and the moon glint in on the

1439
00:52:19,829 --> 00:52:17,040
mediterranean sea in between sicily and

1440
00:52:22,230 --> 00:52:19,839
italy

1441
00:52:25,510 --> 00:52:22,240
at our orbital altitude we see about 16

1442
00:52:28,630 --> 00:52:25,520
sunrises and sunsets a day the earth is

1443
00:52:34,710 --> 00:52:30,470
and it looks like a sunset and i guess

1444
00:52:39,990 --> 00:52:37,510
and it's time to come home this is a a

1445
00:52:41,910 --> 00:52:40,000
clip of our deorbit crap everyone suited

1446
00:52:43,670 --> 00:52:41,920
up just though about two hours or so

1447
00:52:45,190 --> 00:52:43,680
before the deorbit burn it's a very

1448
00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:45,200
hectic time there's many things to do

1449
00:52:49,030 --> 00:52:46,720
the payload bay doors are coming close

1450
00:52:50,470 --> 00:52:49,040
it's a major part of the events and

1451
00:52:53,589 --> 00:52:50,480
coming home because once the doors are

1452
00:52:55,270 --> 00:52:53,599
closed you lose the radiator cooling

1453
00:52:56,950 --> 00:52:55,280
this is a view from the mid deck we're

1454
00:52:57,990 --> 00:52:56,960
intentionally showing this upside down

1455
00:52:59,910 --> 00:52:58,000
because

1456
00:53:01,910 --> 00:52:59,920
many times you need to work upside down

1457
00:53:03,750 --> 00:53:01,920
in space and do it effectively

1458
00:53:05,349 --> 00:53:03,760
on the flight deck you see jean francois

1459
00:53:09,109 --> 00:53:05,359
in the middle there's a charlie

1460
00:53:14,470 --> 00:53:12,150
and myself we had ed lew in the mission

1461
00:53:16,630 --> 00:53:14,480
specialist number one seat

1462
00:53:19,910 --> 00:53:16,640
carlos is in the

1463
00:53:21,670 --> 00:53:19,920
ms2 seat is our prime flight engineer

1464
00:53:23,750 --> 00:53:21,680
the entry you can see out my windows the

1465
00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:23,760
heating we reach

1466
00:53:28,870 --> 00:53:25,520
almost 2000 degrees fahrenheit on the

1467
00:53:31,109 --> 00:53:28,880
outside as we re-enter mach 25 and slow

1468
00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:31,119
down

1469
00:53:34,390 --> 00:53:32,880
you can see the jets fire our plasma

1470
00:53:37,030 --> 00:53:34,400
develops as you know around the orbiter

1471
00:53:40,630 --> 00:53:37,040
and we can see the reflection of that

1472
00:53:45,270 --> 00:53:43,270
well we're back uh close to ksc here

1473
00:53:47,910 --> 00:53:45,280
getting ready to approach subsonic and

1474
00:53:50,069 --> 00:53:47,920
you can see the jets uh pulsing there as

1475
00:53:52,549 --> 00:53:50,079
we approach uh the kennedy space center

1476
00:53:55,030 --> 00:53:52,559
this is a view from the ground of us

1477
00:53:56,630 --> 00:53:55,040
coming around the hack and

1478
00:53:58,630 --> 00:53:56,640
you'll see here again in a minute my

1479
00:53:59,750 --> 00:53:58,640
view out the front window of the head-up

1480
00:54:00,710 --> 00:53:59,760
display

1481
00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:00,720
and

1482
00:54:04,309 --> 00:54:02,160
you've got uh

1483
00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:04,319
airspeed information and altitude

1484
00:54:08,950 --> 00:54:06,720
information on the scales on the left

1485
00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:08,960
and right as well as the position of the

1486
00:54:13,030 --> 00:54:10,400
runway

1487
00:54:15,670 --> 00:54:13,040
outlined for me so that when we come

1488
00:54:17,270 --> 00:54:15,680
down through the clouds here at about

1489
00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:17,280
eight thousand feet we'll break through

1490
00:54:20,309 --> 00:54:18,480
the clouds and you'll see that the

1491
00:54:21,270 --> 00:54:20,319
runway is in fact exactly in that

1492
00:54:22,950 --> 00:54:21,280
position

1493
00:54:24,870 --> 00:54:22,960
showing just how precise the orbiter's

1494
00:54:26,069 --> 00:54:24,880
navigation system is

1495
00:54:27,589 --> 00:54:26,079
and

1496
00:54:29,510 --> 00:54:27,599
you'll continue to see our view down

1497
00:54:32,390 --> 00:54:29,520
through the lower right corner here as

1498
00:54:34,150 --> 00:54:32,400
the orbiter starts its pre-flare

1499
00:54:35,990 --> 00:54:34,160
and uh

1500
00:54:37,670 --> 00:54:36,000
coming into 300 feet eileen puts the

1501
00:54:38,549 --> 00:54:37,680
gear down you saw the gear ward flash

1502
00:54:40,950 --> 00:54:38,559
there

1503
00:54:42,790 --> 00:54:40,960
coming into the overrun here uh with the

1504
00:54:44,069 --> 00:54:42,800
gear down at

1505
00:54:45,589 --> 00:54:44,079
about uh

1506
00:54:47,910 --> 00:54:45,599
50 feet or so

1507
00:54:49,589 --> 00:54:47,920
you can see uh with this view the wind

1508
00:54:52,870 --> 00:54:49,599
gust that catches us right here at about

1509
00:54:54,230 --> 00:54:52,880
20 feet and starts moving us to the left

1510
00:54:56,549 --> 00:54:54,240
and we just put the right wheel down

1511
00:54:58,710 --> 00:54:56,559
first to arrest the drift and once we

1512
00:55:00,230 --> 00:54:58,720
got it on the runway it uh handled quite

1513
00:55:02,630 --> 00:55:00,240
nicely

1514
00:55:04,309 --> 00:55:02,640
so little surprises come

1515
00:55:05,829 --> 00:55:04,319
from time to time but the orbiter is a

1516
00:55:09,589 --> 00:55:05,839
wonderful machine and it handles that

1517
00:55:13,109 --> 00:55:11,910
we rolled it down the center line stripe

1518
00:55:22,230 --> 00:55:13,119
and

1519
00:55:44,390 --> 00:55:22,240
that's the story of sts-84 thank you

1520
00:55:48,710 --> 00:55:47,270
a shadow a shadow

1521
00:55:51,829 --> 00:55:48,720
it was the shadow of someone who'd gone

1522
00:55:56,789 --> 00:55:51,839
by many years before

1523
00:55:56,799 --> 00:56:29,349
yes

1524
00:56:29,359 --> 00:56:43,109
she had nothing so

1525
00:56:47,430 --> 00:56:45,910
that's not precious of a story

1526
00:57:30,870 --> 00:56:47,440
sorry

1527
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:50,230
is

1528
00:58:07,109 --> 00:57:52,789
she wasn't taking more than 10 ounces of

1529
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:31,990
okay

1530
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:46,069
i'll go anywhere

1531
00:58:46,079 --> 00:59:00,390
let's see

1532
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:15,589
uh

1533
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:24,950
forever

1534
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:33,190
how can you be so insensitive

1535
00:59:37,589 --> 00:59:34,789
amy

1536
00:59:39,349 --> 00:59:37,599
mr clennam was very disappointed that

1537
00:59:40,870 --> 00:59:39,359
you didn't come down to see him this

1538
00:59:43,430 --> 00:59:40,880
morning
