a gnome separation maneuver that
 

327
00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:25,080
a gnome separation maneuver that
ultimately placed us above and behind

ultimately placed us above and behind
 

329
00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:27,200
ultimately placed us above and behind

00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:01,660
another important aspect of the flight
was the time that we spent observing the

650
00:15:01,660 --> 00:15:01,670
was the time that we spent observing the
 

651
00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:03,910
was the time that we spent observing the
earth beneath us as you know we use a

652
00:15:03,910 --> 00:15:03,920
earth beneath us as you know we use a
 

653
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,860
earth beneath us as you know we use a
variety of cameras to document changes

variety of cameras to document changes
 

655
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:08,470
variety of cameras to document changes
in the Earth's environment we saw a

656
00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:08,480
in the Earth's environment we saw a
 

657
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,270
in the Earth's environment we saw a
number of them here we are coming up

658
00:15:10,270 --> 00:15:10,280
number of them here we are coming up
 

659

active volcanic region on the earth we
 

665
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,090

noticed a lot of fires throughout Africa

666
00:15:22,090 --> 00:15:22,100
noticed a lot of fires throughout Africa
 

667
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:25,230
noticed a lot of fires throughout Africa
and South America and changes in the

00:15:25,230 --> 00:15:25,240
and South America and changes in the
 

669
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,630
and South America and changes in the
levels of lakes and also different

and here we are over the arabian sea
 

681
00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:49,650

697
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:05,100
spiral Eddie's and we got to get a good
look at some of those things while we're

00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:05,110
look at some of those things while we're
 

699
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:07,499
look at some of those things while we're
up there looking at the ocean in the Sun

and a lot during our awake cycle and
 

709
00:16:18,699 --> 00:16:21,210
and a lot during our awake cycle and
also we covered Australia quite a few

710
00:16:21,210 --> 00:16:21,220
also we covered Australia quite a few
 

711
00:16:21,220 --> 00:16:23,400
also we covered Australia quite a few
times here's a view going over Shark Bay

712
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:23,410
times here's a view going over Shark Bay
 

713
00:16:23,410 --> 00:16:25,559

important to observe from space because

722
00:16:36,119 --> 00:16:36,129
important to observe from space because
 

723
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:38,100
important to observe from space because
of the different amounts of rainfall it

724
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:38,110
of the different amounts of rainfall it
 

725
00:16:38,110 --> 00:16:40,259
of the different amounts of rainfall it
gets really determines how much water

there are in a different watershed areas

728
00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:41,889
there are in a different watershed areas
 

729
00:16:41,889 --> 00:16:43,980
there are in a different watershed areas
as we've already talked about we have

730
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:43,990
as we've already talked about we have
 

731
00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:46,230
as we've already talked about we have
very many cameras that did we use in the

732
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:46,240
very many cameras that did we use in the
 

733
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,360
very many cameras that did we use in the
orbiter and the next clip coming up is a

00:16:50,429 --> 00:16:50,439
demonstration of how we might be able to
 

737
00:16:50,439 --> 00:16:52,559
demonstration of how we might be able to
more automate how we use the cameras on

738
00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:52,569
more automate how we use the cameras on
 

739
00:16:52,569 --> 00:16:54,869
more automate how we use the cameras on

runway out there runway 22 this test we
 

849
00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:19,980
runway out there runway 22 this test we
did have a test of the carbon brake

850
00:20:19,980 --> 00:20:19,990
did have a test of the carbon brake
 

851
00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:22,170
did have a test of the carbon brake
system on this particular flight for

system on this particular flight for
 

853
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:24,180

those most some of you may know we've
 

855
00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:27,030
those most some of you may know we've
got a new braking system here and this

856
00:20:27,030 --> 00:20:27,040
got a new braking system here and this
 

857
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,380
got a new braking system here and this
was the second flight of it and our

858
00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:28,390
was the second flight of it and our
 

859
00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:30,780
was the second flight of it and our
objective was to put a moderate amount

860
00:20:30,780 --> 00:20:30,790
objective was to put a moderate amount
 

861
00:20:30,790 --> 00:20:33,600
objective was to put a moderate amount
of energy into the brakes and this is a

862
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:33,610
of energy into the brakes and this is a
 

863
00:20:33,610 --> 00:20:36,510
of energy into the brakes and this is a
series of three flight tests of which

864
00:20:36,510 --> 00:20:36,520
series of three flight tests of which
 

865
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,250
series of three flight tests of which
after the third one the carbon brake

after the third one the carbon brake
 

867
00:20:38,260 --> 00:20:40,590
after the third one the carbon brake
system will be cleared for na Molina

868
00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:40,600

exactly to my expectations and was a
rule fifteen thousand foot runway and we

886
00:21:00,990 --> 00:21:01,000
rule fifteen thousand foot runway and we
 

887
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,910
rule fifteen thousand foot runway and we
landed about 2,300 feet down the runway

888
00:21:02,910 --> 00:21:02,920
landed about 2,300 feet down the runway
 

889
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,440
landed about 2,300 feet down the runway
with about a nine thousand foot rolled

00:21:09,090 --> 00:21:09,100
up and as I turned to my crew just
 

893
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:10,440
up and as I turned to my crew just
before we walked out the white room they

894
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:10,450
before we walked out the white room they
 

895
00:21:10,450 --> 00:21:12,210
before we walked out the white room they
performed perfectly in my opinion for

896
00:21:12,210 --> 00:21:12,220
performed perfectly in my opinion for
 

897
00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:13,650
performed perfectly in my opinion for
four days and I said this is the last

898
00:21:13,650 --> 00:21:13,660
four days and I said this is the last
 

899
00:21:13,660 --> 00:21:15,390
four days and I said this is the last
time you guys can mess up and fall down

00:21:15,390 --> 00:21:15,400
time you guys can mess up and fall down
 

901
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,140
time you guys can mess up and fall down
the stairs and as you can see they did

902
00:21:19,140 --> 00:21:19,150
the stairs and as you can see they did
 

903
00:21:19,150 --> 00:21:21,330
the stairs and as you can see they did
did that just as equally well as they

904
00:21:21,330 --> 00:21:21,340
did that just as equally well as they
 

905
00:21:21,340 --> 00:21:23,040
did that just as equally well as they
did everything else for the previous

906
