like to welcome you all good afternoon

2
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:26,320
to the sts-61 post flight crew press

3
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:27,359
conference

4
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:29,119
uh joining us of course is the seven

00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:31,760
member crew and uh as usual with all of

6
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:33,360
our briefings the crew will show some

7
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,079
slides from the mission as well as some

8
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,719
video that was shot on orbit

9
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,640
and after that we'll take our usual

10
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,559
question and answers from here at jsc

11
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:44,160
and check with some of the other nasa

12
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:46,160
centers with that i'll turn it over to

13
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:47,840
the commander of the flight richard

14
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:49,120
covey

15
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,480
thank you kyle

16
00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:52,480
uh well good afternoon uh it's really a

17
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:55,039
pleasure for the sts-61 crew to be here

18
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,559
today a month ago today we had

19
00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,800
snugly tucked uh

20
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:02,800
hubble into the payload bay of endeavor

21
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:05,680
and we're beginning to embark upon

22
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:07,280
the rest of the great adventure that was

23
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:09,760
the hubble servicing and repair i'd like

24
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:12,080
to briefly introduce reintroduced to you

25
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:13,760
the crew members

26
00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:16,000
just so you can recognize them in their

27
00:01:18,789 --> 00:01:17,759
coats and ties and

28
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,799
nice

29
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:20,640
suits

30
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:24,400
on my right immediately is is the pilot

31
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:27,040
and rms uh operator uh backup rms

32
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:30,320
operator uh ken bowersox uh probably

33
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:31,759
heard him called sockslot during a

34
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:32,640
mission

35
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:34,720
uh next to him is claude nicolier

36
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:37,360
claude's european space agency uh

37
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:39,280
astronaut that we were really privileged

38
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:40,400
to have on board

39
00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:43,200
uh served as the rms operator and also

40
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:45,119
as flight engineer for ascent and entry

41
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:48,000
and other orbiter functions

42
00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:49,200
next

43
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:50,159
are the

44
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:51,840
the odd couple and they're called the

45
00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:55,040
odd couple because they perform the evas

46
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:57,439
one three and five and that's dr story

47
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:02,870
and

48
00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:05,280
dr jeff hoffman

49
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,040
and last but

50
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:09,360
certainly not least are the even couple

51
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,680
performed bbas two and four

52
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:13,680
and that's tom akers air force

53
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:21,670
we're going to move right on into

54
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:27,510
the night assets pretty spectacular you

55
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,640
look out the window and it's like a

56
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:30,400
welding torch going off when the srb is

57
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,760
light

58
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:33,599
kt got to look at the overhead windows

59
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:35,200
and i think that was pretty spectacular

60
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,560
too

61
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,400
it looked like uh daylight behind us on

62
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,480
the pad and and i could follow it for

63
00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:42,720
maybe 20 seconds before it went into

64
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:43,599
just

65
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:48,720
the vibrations and the the roar is

66
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:51,280
pretty much the same as in the daytime

67
00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:52,560
probably the big difference is up when

68
00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:55,599
you get towards srb sep

69
00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:57,599
when the rockets go off to separate

70
00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:59,519
those boosters it really flashes outside

71
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:00,959
the windows and it

72
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:03,040
gives me a thrill just seeing that right

73
00:03:06,149 --> 00:03:04,400
there

74
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:06,159
tried to warn these guys yeah cubby

75
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:08,400
warned us but it was still exciting

76
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,680
the engines worked pretty well and the

77
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:11,200
next thing you know we were up on orbit

78
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:13,200
saw beautiful sunrise

79
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,879
because of the altitude of the hubble

80
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:17,280
space telescope we got to go into a

81
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:20,319
relatively high insert into high orbit

82
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:21,920
what we found almost immediately is this

83
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:24,319
orbit allowed us

84
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,800
greater views than we had seen before on

85
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:28,560
any of our flights

86
00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:30,239
this was what houston looked like at

87
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:31,599
night in fact you can follow a gulf

88
00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:33,040
freeway down to the bottom part of the

89
00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:34,879
picture you see clear lake and texas

90
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:38,959
city and galveston all in in there

91
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:41,040
we never saw the u.s uh in the daytime

92
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:43,120
we saw it at night but this shows you uh

93
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:44,480
some of the view of the lights if you

94
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,239
see new orleans just going off the left

95
00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:48,959
side of the screen at the far top left

96
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,799
is chicago

97
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:53,040
center screen is atlanta

98
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:55,280
as we come across here you can see the

99
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:56,879
lights of florida and on up the east

100
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:02,789
uh post insertion is a busy time for the

101
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:05,599
crew you're adapting to zero g and uh

102
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:08,319
spectacular views uh but uh

103
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:09,680
we were able to get everything cleaned

104
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,560
up this and and ready for our uh stay in

105
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:14,720
orbit it shows the crew members at their

106
00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:16,880
different positions and

107
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:19,199
being busy claude and

108
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:28,390
and story

109
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:31,030
and tom trying to work on our rat's nest

110
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,479
of photo tv equipment over in the corner

111
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:36,400
there's our beautiful payload bay again

112
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:38,320
just waiting for us to go to work out

113
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,629
here we're getting ready for the

114
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:46,560
rendezvous yeah before those guys could

115
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:47,919
go to work we had to get the orbiter up

116
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,880
there

117
00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:50,320
and uh this next sequence will give you

118
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:51,759
a feel just how busy it is during a

119
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:53,280
rendezvous

120
00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,880
cubby claude and i were working up front

121
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:56,479
most of the time maneuvering the orbiter

122
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:57,919
and then covey moved back to the ass

123
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,960
station

124
00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,639
everybody else was busy taking pictures

125
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,720
like with this imax camera shooting a

126
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:04,479
laser out the window

127
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:05,520
and

128
00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:07,199
getting pictures like that of the

129
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,479
telescope

130
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:10,720
the closer we got the more excited i got

131
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:12,560
and i was pretty impressed when i got my

132
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,759
first view out the window and that's

133
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:15,280
just what it looked like you can see the

134
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:21,430
and this is the final approach to the

135
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,039
telescope

136
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:25,600
cavi was flying the orbiter

137
00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:26,560
in a

138
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:28,560
very professional way and

139
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:30,080
stabilized the orbiter versus a

140
00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:32,080
telescope in such a position that i

141
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:32,960
could

142
00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:34,880
grab it that the

143
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,400
remote manipulated system had been

144
00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:38,560
already put in the poise for capture

145
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:40,320
position about an hour before the final

146
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,000
grapple and this is the final grapple we

147
00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:44,160
saw the target that i was using in order

148
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:46,080
to position the end effector on the

149
00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:48,720
telescope and grab it and rigidize it

150
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,720
and then move it in the aft cargo bay to

151
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:52,560
install it on the flight service

152
00:05:59,670 --> 00:05:57,990
we had checked out the suits on flight

153
00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:59,680
day two so we knew we had four good

154
00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:01,600
suits going into this we'd spent a lot

155
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:03,280
of hours training in the water tank and

156
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:04,880
we were all excited and ready to go do

157
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:14,390
here we are doing it for real on eva day

158
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:17,039
one uh get up stuff some breakfast down

159
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,319
and while you're eating breakfast you

160
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:19,919
start putting electrodes on those are

161
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:22,160
biomed electrodes to

162
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:25,280
get the electrocardiogram off

163
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:27,120
next thing you do is uh

164
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:29,600
kt and tom put you in a suit here's jeff

165
00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:32,240
inside the suit

166
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,319
and myself you check out the suits and

167
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:36,560
uh they're all checked out uh

168
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:40,960
depressurized to your lock go outside

169
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,800
it's an exciting moment when you first

170
00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:44,319
open the airlock and you look out and

171
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,160
there's the entire universe staring you

172
00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:48,479
in the face here i am coming out the

173
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:50,080
first eva

174
00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:51,440
um

175
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:53,440
grabbing onto the manipulator arm while

176
00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:55,759
story is coming out now and i've took a

177
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:57,520
whole bunch of tools on the arm and the

178
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,880
arm is now

179
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,720
under claude's skillful guidance

180
00:07:04,629 --> 00:07:02,720
carrying me over to

181
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,639
where i'll get the manipulator foot

182
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,400
restraint which will then remain

183
00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:08,960
attached to the arm

184
00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:11,039
we should tell you some of these eva

185
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:12,960
shots are actually speeded up two or

186
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:15,360
even four times because things move

187
00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:16,960
pretty slowly

188
00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:18,639
this gives you the basic idea of how we

189
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:20,960
work one person on the arm one person

190
00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:24,000
moving helping free floating

191
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,720
the first task the the gyros

192
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:28,800
inside the the bay here i'm opening the

193
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,520
doors and story's coming up and

194
00:07:35,909 --> 00:07:33,599
we're ready to go and jeff positions me

195
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:35,919
very carefully inside and puts my feet

196
00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:38,720
inside the portable foot restraints and

197
00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:40,319
here we're as we talked about earlier

198
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,080
changing out

199
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:44,400
four out of the range gyros

200
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:46,080
here we're working on the doors as you

201
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:47,440
recall during the flight we had a

202
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,000
difficult time closing the doors so with

203
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:51,840
jeff on the central handle myself on a

204
00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:53,520
come along we were able to position the

205
00:07:57,589 --> 00:07:55,280
doors and then work the striker plates

206
00:08:04,550 --> 00:07:57,599
and get them closed

207
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,950
and now here's myself getting this a leg

208
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,560
up on the solar rate change out for the

209
00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:10,160
next day i'm just

210
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:12,479
undoing various bolts there so when tom

211
00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:14,400
and kt come along they won't have quite

212
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:22,469
while story was doing this i was working

213
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,560
on the fuses it was pretty spectacular

214
00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:26,560
working you can see right underneath the

215
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:28,720
the solar array there

216
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:30,000
that

217
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:31,840
this is a view from the elbow camera

218
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:33,519
looking down from the top of the solar

219
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:34,399
array

220
00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,149
the solar rays were slewed to the xy

221
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,399
plane to prepare for retraction after

222
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,480
the end of that eva

223
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:49,920
you can see the one on the left is the

224
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:52,080
one that we expected to behave well and

225
00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:53,519
it did

226
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:55,519
this uh footage is also sped up a little

227
00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:56,720
bit it took several minutes for this

228
00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,640
slew to occur

229
00:09:01,829 --> 00:09:00,160
i spent most of this time when it was

230
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:01,839
happening down in the mid deck in the

231
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:03,200
airline cleaning up suits and getting

232
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:05,040
ready for the next day but i did pop my

233
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:06,560
head up every now and then to watch the

234
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:08,080
retraction so we'd know what was going

235
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:09,920
to happen for tomorrow

236
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:12,640
this is the good solar array the plus v2

237
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:15,040
array which retracted normally the

238
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:16,480
bystims are being pulled up in the

239
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:17,920
cassette and the blankets rolling

240
00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,760
smoothly on the drum

241
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:21,600
and this is where we wanted them both to

242
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,800
work

243
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,880
the other one we could tell by a kink

244
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:26,560
and the bystander it was unlikely that

245
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:28,000
that was going to be pulled up in the

246
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:29,360
cassette that we would have to leave

247
00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:31,440
this thing partially deployed

248
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,440
the retraction is ground commanded

249
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:35,600
however we do have a stop command on

250
00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:36,480
board

251
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:38,320
and we did exercise it when this one was

252
00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:40,480
retracting when the blanket began to get

253
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:41,920
a little bit slack

254
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:43,440
it seemed like the prudent thing to do

255
00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:46,080
was to stop the retraction at that point

256
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:48,720
and let us take care of it by hand when

257
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:50,000
we got out there the next day this is

258
00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:51,839
the kinked by stem

259
00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:53,440
the bystander is two pieces of metal

260
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,720
that are flat when they're in the

261
00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:56,080
cassette and when they're released from

262
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:57,760
the cassette roll up into tubes one

263
00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:58,959
around the other

264
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,560
and it appeared that one of those tubes

265
00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:02,320
was eight or ten inches longer than the

266
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,120
other so it made some loops in the

267
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:06,880
bystand

268
00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:09,519
story and jeff were ivs they put

269
00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:11,279
me and tom in the suits as we had done

270
00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:12,959
for them the day before and sent us out

271
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:14,320
to do our work

272
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:16,000
as i said earlier this

273
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:17,760
jettison had to be done and

274
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:19,360
the disconnecting of the electrical

275
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,720
connections had to be done at night

276
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:22,160
because with the solar rays still

277
00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:23,920
deployed it is still producing

278
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:26,160
electricity when the sun is on it

279
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:27,920
so tom had to cut some lock wire and

280
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,839
take some connectors off and

281
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,680
open the clamp while i was holding it

282
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,519
because the solar ray tended to flap and

283
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,760
move around a lot anytime anybody was

284
00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:37,360
touching it

285
00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:39,279
i held it up there and let it go it with

286
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:40,959
no rates on it at all it was very very

287
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:43,600
stable quad pulled me back away from it

288
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:44,560
and then

289
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:46,640
socks did the separation maneuver that

290
00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:48,320
that pushed us away from it and you can

291
00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:51,040
see some of the jets fire the solar ray

292
00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:52,800
begins flapping and it looked like a

293
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:55,360
giant bird a giant soaring bird over the

294
00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:57,040
desert it was just the most incredible

295
00:11:04,230 --> 00:10:58,880
sight i was mesmerized for a period of

296
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:05,430
there's not much more you can say about

297
00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:08,000
it it's just fabulous

298
00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:09,920
you see the red sea and the gulf of aden

299
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:17,990
on the solar array that retracted

300
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:21,120
properly they were not unable to stow it

301
00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:22,800
by ground command because it wasn't

302
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,920
slewed in the right direction the

303
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:25,279
latches were not going to mate when it

304
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:26,720
came up to the top so we did that

305
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:29,279
manually as well tom was driving up with

306
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:31,200
a wrench although it was actually

307
00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,720
posting on its own pretty much and i

308
00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:34,320
went up to the top to be sure that i had

309
00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:35,839
my hand on it when it got close to the

310
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,519
telescope so we didn't

311
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:39,440
do any damage

312
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:45,670
we removed that one put it on the solar

313
00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:47,680
ray carrier it's been brought back to

314
00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:49,839
earth for people to study and see what

315
00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:51,839
life is like in orbit for three years of

316
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:53,760
orbit for solar arrays

317
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:55,360
and what we can do to future solar rays

318
00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:56,399
to make them better

319
00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:57,839
this was our first mass handling

320
00:12:01,590 --> 00:11:59,600
exercise it weighs between three and

321
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,600
four hundred pounds and it moves as if

322
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:03,360
it's nothing

323
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,360
just put your hand on it and pretty much

324
00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:07,600
the just the natural forces in the suit

325
00:12:11,190 --> 00:12:09,519
cause your hands to wanna be in a

326
00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:11,200
semi-closed position and that's all it

327
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,760
takes to hang on to it

328
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:15,600
i held it in place while tom closed the

329
00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:17,279
clamp

330
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:19,120
to mechanically connect it to the

331
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:21,040
telescope and then i came down to help

332
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:23,120
with the electrical connections the

333
00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:25,600
connectors are driven in place by one

334
00:12:29,110 --> 00:12:27,519
drive screw and we were very very

335
00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:29,120
concerned about stripping that screw

336
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:31,279
because it had happened other in ground

337
00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:32,800
testing at times

338
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:36,160
so we opted to drive that by hand

339
00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:37,600
very very gently so that we would feel

340
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,800
if there were any kind of torques that

341
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,320
we weren't expecting we could back off

342
00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:42,720
and try it again

343
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:45,279
after each eva we had to go through it

344
00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:48,320
was really about a three hour process to

345
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:50,399
clean up the old suits pack them up for

346
00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:52,000
the night get the new suits out before

347
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:53,680
we're ready to go here we are on the

348
00:12:58,629 --> 00:12:56,639
third eva we talked about uh the use of

349
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:58,639
these searchlights from inside this is a

350
00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:00,560
good example of what it was like working

351
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:02,720
at night and the people inside would

352
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:04,720
shine the light to augment our helmet

353
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:06,720
lights here i am putting

354
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:08,800
the guide studs these little two ended

355
00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:11,120
bolts into the wide field planetary

356
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:13,360
camera this is so that uh

357
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:16,160
this handhold that i'm picking up now

358
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:18,560
we can then attach it and we have a

359
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,959
little set of nuts which we then put on

360
00:13:24,629 --> 00:13:22,399
top of those

361
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:24,639
guide bolts or guide studs as we call

362
00:13:28,949 --> 00:13:26,880
them so we take the hand hold up we

363
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:28,959
install it

364
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,920
onto the wiff pick you can see story

365
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:33,360
free floating over at the right he's

366
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:34,720
going to get into the foot restraint

367
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:37,120
right below him

368
00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:39,680
i'm undoing the bolts here that hold the

369
00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:41,440
whiff pick in

370
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:44,320
and then the two of us working together

371
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:45,519
actually

372
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:48,880
pull the wiff pick one out from the

373
00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:54,949
and it slides out on some tracks and it

374
00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:56,560
just came out

375
00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:00,790
claude

376
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:09,360
know it was hardly necessary to say what

377
00:14:13,750 --> 00:14:12,160
you wanted to do he almost anticipated

378
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:13,760
where we needed to be

379
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:15,600
both claude and sox did an incredible

380
00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:17,680
job driving the arm

381
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:20,240
we stowed the whiff pick one on the side

382
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,360
of the

383
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:23,440
shuttle in a temporary stowage bracket

384
00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:24,480
there

385
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:25,440
and then

386
00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,160
extracted the wiff pick number two and

387
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:30,560
remember this is about four times real

388
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:34,320
speed we were doing this very slowly

389
00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:35,760
so slowly that you probably wouldn't

390
00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,519
want to watch the whole thing

391
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:39,120
in real time

392
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:41,600
but it came out with without a hitch

393
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,360
and then the

394
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:45,360
delicate process of inserting it in

395
00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:47,760
again with me on one side and story on

396
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,560
the other side went very well just just

397
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:52,560
beautifully this was a

398
00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:55,680
very finely designed instrument

399
00:15:01,269 --> 00:14:59,839
for eva repair and handling it's a good

400
00:15:09,269 --> 00:15:01,279
example of what you can do when you

401
00:15:12,629 --> 00:15:11,110
the story was around back in the apollo

402
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:12,639
days and he had commented that nobody

403
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:15,120
had ever taken a hasselblad into space

404
00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:17,839
since apollo and so he arranged to

405
00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:19,920
have this reactivated and there i am

406
00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:22,240
using it and it we got some fabulous

407
00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:23,360
pictures

408
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:24,399
with that

409
00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:25,680
here we are putting on the the

410
00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,920
magnetometer it's it's a unit which we

411
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:29,519
basically put on top of the old

412
00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:32,000
magnetometers so we never remove the old

413
00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:34,399
ones and then we we screw it in into

414
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:35,519
place

415
00:15:41,829 --> 00:15:38,160
um and we're 50 feet above

416
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:41,839
the payload bay and uh so not only was

417
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:44,079
it uh quite a view looking towards the

418
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:45,600
earth but looking down towards the

419
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:48,720
shuttle was pretty spectacular

420
00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:52,720
eva day four uh as we mentioned the swap

421
00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:53,519
out

422
00:15:57,670 --> 00:15:55,120
the new costar

423
00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:57,680
instrument for the hsp

424
00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:59,360
opening the doors they're getting into

425
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:01,120
the bay and then it got dark fairly

426
00:16:06,069 --> 00:16:04,720
quickly so we did the hsp removal

427
00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:06,079
in the dark

428
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:08,000
and you can see the searchlight

429
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:14,470
kt then took the

430
00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:16,480
hsp

431
00:16:23,829 --> 00:16:18,560
down and stowed it on a temporary

432
00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:27,030
then came and pulled out the new co-star

433
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:29,360
unit from its

434
00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:32,079
stowage container

435
00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:34,320
brought it up and then

436
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:36,720
held it here and then pointed the corner

437
00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:38,560
down toward me as i came around to

438
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:41,680
remove the dob or deployable optical

439
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:42,720
bench

440
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,800
protective cover

441
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:46,959
all those little mirrors and coast are

442
00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:48,160
right in that corner and they're

443
00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:50,639
retracted down inside there and then

444
00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:52,880
those were deployed several inches up

445
00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:54,639
out of the co-star

446
00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:56,079
several days

447
00:17:00,150 --> 00:16:58,800
after we had come home

448
00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,160
getting ready to

449
00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:02,160
put co-star in again we spent quite a

450
00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:04,480
bit of time making sure it's perfectly

451
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:06,640
lined up and again with only about an

452
00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,000
inch of clearance

453
00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,799
kt did a super job of just giving me

454
00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:12,880
millimeters of control when i asked for

455
00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:13,600
it

456
00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:17,120
and she might want to say something

457
00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:18,880
about how it felt

458
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:20,880
uh it was very easy to move but it was

459
00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:22,319
uh all i could see in front of my face

460
00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:24,959
was a box so tom was my eyes to put it

461
00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:26,720
in that little hole

462
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:29,679
this is uh getting the new co-processor

463
00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:31,360
out and then we did a swap out on the

464
00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:33,120
end of the arm and i got on the end of

465
00:17:39,669 --> 00:17:36,240
the arm and kt uh behind me there to

466
00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:39,679
manage tools and the co-processor

467
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:41,600
went up using the power tool as you

468
00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:43,039
noticed here

469
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:45,600
all the bolts that we had to do except

470
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,520
those

471
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:49,440
solar array connector bolts we used a

472
00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:51,360
power tool on and our tools really held

473
00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:52,400
up well

474
00:17:56,549 --> 00:17:54,799
and served us well during the mission

475
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,559
coming back in this is a good shot of

476
00:18:00,789 --> 00:17:58,320
coming back in the air lock again this

477
00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:00,799
is four or five times actual speed i

478
00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:03,039
think you have to be really careful

479
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:04,480
coming into the airline it's got a

480
00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:06,000
fragile

481
00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:07,840
covering on it

482
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:09,679
going out at the end of every day we had

483
00:18:15,110 --> 00:18:13,360
to untether the mfr or manipulator foot

484
00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:15,120
restraint so if we had to get rid of it

485
00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:16,720
overnight it would come loose from the

486
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:21,590
see all the tools hanging off of each of

487
00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:23,120
us as we come in you had to be very

488
00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:28,310
and then again at the the end of each

489
00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:29,760
eva

490
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:33,280
getting out of suits reconfiguring tools

491
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:35,840
and suits changing out batteries for the

492
00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:44,789
it shows uh covey clawden socks

493
00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:47,360
configuring mli for the covers that we

494
00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:50,400
were going to put on the magnetometers

495
00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:54,840
on the last eva ev8 day number

496
00:19:01,750 --> 00:18:58,720
five and here's eva day number five

497
00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:01,760
i was on the mfr day five and the other

498
00:19:05,669 --> 00:19:03,440
two days that jeff and i were out uh

499
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:05,679
jeff was on the mfr so we took turns at

500
00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:08,240
that here's jeff is getting the

501
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:10,080
ghrs that the goddard high rate

502
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,720
spectrometer our repair kit

503
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:14,960
out here's myself and jeff working on

504
00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:16,960
mercedes the solar ray drive electronics

505
00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:18,480
changing that out

506
00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:19,919
there's not much to look at here it's

507
00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:22,559
just very intensive workout doing mostly

508
00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:23,600
electric

509
00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:25,440
connectors

510
00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:27,840
for about three hours this is one of the

511
00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:30,160
more spectacular views up on top here

512
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:32,720
looking straight down to earth 370 miles

513
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:34,400
we're getting ready to do uh put the

514
00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:36,480
covers those mli covers that we had

515
00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:41,039
constructed on top of the magnetometers

516
00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:43,120
here's deployment of the main solar ray

517
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:45,679
boom it just took a couple ounces to get

518
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:47,760
it started down but the motors were

519
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:50,080
unable to deploy that so jeff and i just

520
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:52,559
with a couple ounces on a wrench we're

521
00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:54,640
able to deploy the

522
00:19:57,990 --> 00:19:56,080
what's called the primary drive

523
00:20:03,590 --> 00:19:58,000
mechanism but it's really just the solar

524
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:06,070
here's deployment of the the new solar

525
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:07,760
rays the blankets

526
00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:09,679
which will go out there and convert

527
00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:13,360
solar energy into electrical energy

528
00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:15,440
but this is the the final completion

529
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,640
really of the eva here they're able to

530
00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:20,480
deploy these while we were still out and

531
00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:23,360
also to be able to deploy the high gain

532
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:24,799
antennas and all these things it was

533
00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:26,320
great to get these things done because

534
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,480
they did have eva backups in case any of

535
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:30,159
these mechanisms

536
00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:38,149
here we are coming inside after the

537
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:41,360
final eva eba day number five and uh

538
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,280
we never really did let our hair down

539
00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:45,600
until uh this final

540
00:20:49,830 --> 00:20:48,000
this final day here we breathed a slight

541
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:49,840
sigh of relief on each day when we

542
00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:52,480
because we got each day's job done

543
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,000
but i'll tell you we've been working at

544
00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:56,240
this for years incredible attention to

545
00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:58,080
detail and we did have a moment of

546
00:21:01,510 --> 00:20:59,520
jubilation

547
00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:01,520
here although of course we had many

548
00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:03,679
weeks to wait to see that hubble really

549
00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:04,799
did work

550
00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:08,400
this is flight day nine the release day

551
00:21:12,710 --> 00:21:09,919
you saw the telescope in the back of the

552
00:21:14,950 --> 00:21:12,720
bay ready for release first we had to

553
00:21:17,430 --> 00:21:14,960
capture the telescope using the arm you

554
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:17,440
see here the final approach

555
00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:19,200
to the grapple friction of the telescope

556
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:21,280
then we release the latches

557
00:21:25,510 --> 00:21:23,520
on the flat surface structure lifted

558
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:25,520
hubble over the flight surface structure

559
00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:26,960
over the cargo bay

560
00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:30,000
and here you can see the release of the

561
00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:31,919
telescope

562
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:34,320
the arm is being pulled away

563
00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:36,080
and the socks is at the controls of the

564
00:21:41,669 --> 00:21:39,120
orbiter for the separation maneuver

565
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:41,679
yeah after claude released the telescope

566
00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:44,000
i fired a few pulses to get us backing

567
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:45,360
away

568
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:46,960
and the telescope slowly started

569
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:48,080
drifting

570
00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:49,600
once it was at a safe distance we put

571
00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:50,960
some cameras up in the window and i hope

572
00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:52,400
we got some good photos especially with

573
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:54,000
the imax camera

574
00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:55,360
and that's what i look like a pretty

575
00:21:59,190 --> 00:21:57,360
majestic sight with that big telescope

576
00:22:04,549 --> 00:21:59,200
and its brand new solar arrays drifting

577
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:06,390
we got lots of film and

578
00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:08,400
we can't wait to to see it i think we're

579
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:10,480
making an advanced screening here on

580
00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:12,960
thursday or friday of some of our imax

581
00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:21,270
after uh deploy uh we did this as sax

582
00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:23,120
talked about earlier had a day off i

583
00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:25,200
showed some of the activities on our

584
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,720
light day and actually on every day

585
00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:29,520
reading the mail that we'd get up on our

586
00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:31,280
to our computers uh

587
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,080
here's uh socks uh doing some trash

588
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:36,480

it's a little on board

595
00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:55,520
computer simulation of the landing tasks

596
00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:57,840
and it true proved extremely useful to

597
00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:00,559
us for getting ready for landing

598
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:02,480

right hand side

609
00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:23,360
a little later we had passes over the

you can see san francisco bay up in the

617
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:42,240

outrageously bright

00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:49,600
you could see the strip from 350 miles

621
00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:51,360
this is houston take a look in the upper

622
00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:53,360
left corner and you'll see a very bright

623
00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:54,880
fireball meteor come through the

624
00:23:59,110 --> 00:23:56,720

00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:06,320
can see lightning storms you could see a

630
00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:08,080
little bit of aurora up there looking

631
00:24:14,470 --> 00:24:10,240
back towards the west now over florida

632
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,480
you can see all the way back to houston

633
00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:16,240
we had a lot of long hours and intense

634
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:17,679
days and when covey said it was time to

635
00:24:21,269 --> 00:24:19,840
go to bed it was time to go to bed and

636
00:24:23,350 --> 00:24:21,279
he covered the windows and sent the kids

637
00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:23,360
down to the mid deck with five of us

638
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:26,240
sleeping down there it was pretty cozy

639
00:24:29,590 --> 00:24:27,600
you knew if you moved you were waking

640
00:24:31,029 --> 00:24:29,600
somebody else up

641
00:24:32,950 --> 00:24:31,039
but we managed to all find a place to

642
00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:32,960
strap our sleeping bags and set story to

643
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:34,240
the airlock

644
00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:36,080
for that on our get ready to come home

645
00:24:40,310 --> 00:24:39,120
day this is flight control checkout

646
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:40,320
we're making sure all the orbiter

647
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:42,320
systems are working we brought home

648
00:24:45,029 --> 00:24:43,760
everything that we had intended to bring

649
00:24:47,190 --> 00:24:45,039
home with the exception of that one

650
00:24:48,710 --> 00:24:47,200
solar array and the solar ray carrier

651
00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:48,720
looks like a tool board in your garage

652
00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:50,320
with one tool missing so we call that

653
00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:55,909
this is hst it continued to stay with us

654
00:24:58,789 --> 00:24:57,200
through the rest of the flight and we

655
00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:58,799
called it our morning star because we

656
00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:00,080
would see it every morning when the sun

657
00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:02,720
was reflecting off of it

658
00:25:06,470 --> 00:25:04,400
all missions have to end they end with a

659
00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:06,480
deorbit and landing hopefully and this

660
00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:08,960
shows us getting ready for uh for

661
00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:10,640
deorbit and then

662
00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:13,120
the infrared pictures

663
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:16,320
from ksc and uh cape canaveral air force

664
00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:19,120
station of our uh of our turn around to

665
00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:20,080
hack

666
00:25:23,909 --> 00:25:22,240
and and approach to uh runway three

667
00:25:25,350 --> 00:25:23,919
three at the kennedy space center like i

668
00:25:27,669 --> 00:25:25,360
said before there's nothing like

669
00:25:33,669 --> 00:25:27,679
bringing a space shuttle back to kennedy

670
00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:35,990
we had an extraordinary night to fly

671
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:38,720
across florida with the lights and and

672
00:25:45,350 --> 00:25:42,080
to make this landing

673
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:45,360
onto on the runway 3-3 orbiter flies

674
00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:47,440
exceptionally well for a

675
00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:49,600
a big glider

676
00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:51,440
and we felt

677
00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:54,000
very good about safely rolling out to

678
00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:57,840
stop and bringing sts-61
