expected and in the event of a single

very precise course up toward the MIR

229
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:41,820
Space Station and this view from the MIR

230
00:19:45,889 --> 00:19:43,769
space station looking at Endeavour as it

231
00:20:07,510 --> 00:19:45,899
continues its approach toward the MIR

232
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:16,040
that's okay in this view of the crew

233
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:17,640
cabin of Endeavour from its overhead

234
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:20,310
windows we're with UT drusy and by amir

235
00:20:31,910 --> 00:20:21,570
we're looking in through your two

236
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:31,920
overhead windows these are the overhead

237
00:20:36,050 --> 00:20:33,330
windows in the crew cabin of endeavour

238
00:20:38,750 --> 00:20:36,060
as it is now just about 43 feet away

239
00:21:16,040 --> 00:20:38,760
from mere this view coming from the MIR

240
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:18,980
as endeavor approaches the 30-foot

241
00:21:22,460 --> 00:21:20,610
distance from the MIR Space Station

242
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:22,470
this view of the overhead windows in the

243
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:25,110
crew cabin of Endeavour very shortly the

244
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:26,610
crew will begin its at station keeping

245
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:28,830
at the 30 foot level before receiving

246
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:31,050
their final go decision to proceed for

247
00:21:37,450 --> 00:21:32,880
at the docking with mir that docking

248
00:21:41,450 --> 00:21:39,800
docking will take place in darkness as

249
00:21:43,460 --> 00:21:41,460
this view also is in orbital night as

250
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:43,470
the two spacecraft now are some two

251
00:21:48,110 --> 00:21:45,510
hundred nine nautical miles or 240

252
00:22:01,020 --> 00:21:48,120
statute miles high over the African

253
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:05,580
we copy Europe the cream is reporting

254
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:07,150
that they have sighted the docking

255
00:22:26,670 --> 00:22:09,610
target onboard Mir and that no course

256
00:22:31,380 --> 00:22:28,860
and the crew is now beginning its final

257
00:22:33,450 --> 00:22:31,390
approach to the mere passing inside of

258
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:33,460
the 30 foot mark as it continues a very

259
00:22:47,330 --> 00:22:35,170
slow approach for docking with the near

260
00:23:22,830 --> 00:22:51,769
and ever now within 25 feet closing at a

261
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:30,260
yes the funny enough shot

262
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:33,780
and contact between endeavour and the

263
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:35,650
MIR Space Station confirmed on time at

264
00:23:48,150 --> 00:23:46,530
endeavour Houston for Andy we have a

265
00:23:56,419 --> 00:23:48,160
good view of the flight deck what's it

266
00:24:01,289 --> 00:23:58,980
it's an impressive sight actually it's

267
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:01,299
just amazing it's been described as a

268
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:04,480
big mosquito or dragonfly that's right

269
00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:06,130
it's got all kinds of wings out of this

270
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:14,590
incredible side once commander anatoly

271
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:16,570
solovyev is done with his activities

272
00:24:21,630 --> 00:24:20,410
opening up the mir hatch as well as some

273
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:21,640
housekeeping activities at the

274
00:24:25,289 --> 00:24:23,530
conclusion of that the shuttle will

275
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:25,299
begin a pressurization equalization

276
00:24:28,650 --> 00:24:27,160
prior to the opening of the door from

277
00:24:31,919 --> 00:24:28,660
the or the hatch from the shuttle side

278
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:31,929
allowing the MIR 24 and STS 89 accrues

279
00:24:43,770 --> 00:24:42,130
to greet each other personally and ever

280
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:43,780
Terry we have an excellent view of you

281
00:25:23,960 --> 00:24:46,090
hat the ODS hatch and you have a gopher

282
00:25:29,399 --> 00:25:27,320
this is Mission Control Houston

283
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:29,409
hatch opening and a first greeting

284
00:25:34,409 --> 00:25:31,330
between mere 24 commander Anatole

285
00:25:38,250 --> 00:25:34,419
solovyev and mere STS 89 Commander Terry

286
00:26:10,780 --> 00:25:38,260
will cut as endeavour mirar passing just

287
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:12,860
and greetings all around

288
00:26:43,820 --> 00:26:41,310
einar to push and hold the bits for

289
00:26:45,950 --> 00:26:43,830
coming to get me although I could have

290
00:26:48,890 --> 00:26:45,960
lived a lot longer psychologically

291
00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:48,900
physically but there's a lot of fun and

292
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:51,030
good business to be done on earth it's

293
00:26:58,340 --> 00:26:53,010
time to go back that they can stand the

294
00:31:49,920 --> 00:26:58,350
ball for dandy he's a very capable

295
00:31:53,970 --> 00:31:52,049
so looks like we're getting down to the

296
00:31:56,580 --> 00:31:53,980
end of things here for you but we've got

297
00:31:59,760 --> 00:31:56,590
to take out the MGB X tonight yet and

298
00:32:02,520 --> 00:31:59,770
change over this tissue culture

299
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:02,530
equipment but I think we're pretty much

300
00:32:07,470 --> 00:32:05,290
closing out of most of our items we've

301
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:07,480
got a few hard ones yet that we're

302
00:32:12,090 --> 00:32:10,510
waiting on but they're little items that

303
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:12,100
I think we can come home without that's

304
00:32:16,590 --> 00:32:14,370
how I see it right now

305
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:16,600
glad to hear it Dave I know you've had a

306
00:32:20,790 --> 00:32:18,970
very busy four months and I know that

307
00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:20,800
the guys who brought endeavour up to you

308
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:22,960
I've had an extremely busy four days so

309
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:25,090
we'd be happy to have the pace slacking

310
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:31,120
off just a little very good keep

311
00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:34,150
clicking real nice up here and it's just

312
00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:37,360
a pleasure thing with my American

313
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:40,000
friends again and this whole thing's

314
00:32:44,850 --> 00:32:41,710
just a wonderful experience I can't wait

315
00:32:46,650 --> 00:32:44,860
to see you on the ground and and maybe

316
00:33:39,490 --> 00:32:46,660
you'll get dragged me to the ski course

317
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:41,950
this is Mission Control Houston and this

318
00:33:46,180 --> 00:33:43,910
view once again of the double space hab

319
00:33:48,340 --> 00:33:46,190

his back to the camera Dave wolf who has

325
00:34:04,000 --> 00:33:58,220
just completed his 119 day stay as a

326
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:04,010
member of a mere crew the astronauts

327
00:34:07,090 --> 00:34:05,810
have just completed stowing away one of

328
00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:07,100
the experiments that was conducted

329
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:09,200
during Wolf's tenure on the MIR Space

330
00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,730
Station for its return trip back to

331
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:12,320
earth and have been conversing over the

332
00:34:16,149 --> 00:34:14,210
past several minutes with the scientific

333
00:34:18,610 --> 00:34:16,159
community here in Houston to ensure that

334
00:34:21,610 --> 00:34:18,620
the stowage was accomplished properly

335
00:34:23,379 --> 00:34:21,620
and to provide the status of that

336
00:35:12,260 --> 00:34:23,389
stowage down to the payload community

337
00:36:34,140 --> 00:35:14,880
Bonni we've completed step three who are

338
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:40,640

the tunnel to the mid-deck and the

366
00:48:12,990 --> 00:48:11,410

00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:17,440
activity as we prepare to still our

370
00:48:21,660 --> 00:48:19,090
hardware and finish up our experiment

371
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:21,670
off and I'd hope that what you'll see is

372
00:48:27,450 --> 00:48:24,850
the environment that we've been working

373
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:27,460
in and get a feel for what it's like

374
00:48:32,190 --> 00:48:30,010
this is not Cecil B DeMille this is our

375
00:48:39,210 --> 00:48:32,200
eyeball view of living in zero-gravity

376
00:48:41,070 --> 00:48:39,220
so stand by we're going into the hab

377
00:48:45,180 --> 00:48:41,080
right now from the tunnel which runs

378
00:48:47,070 --> 00:48:45,190
from the mid-deck to the space hab it's

379
00:48:49,220 --> 00:48:47,080
floating right in front of my eyes so

380
00:48:51,990 --> 00:48:49,230
you're seeing what we see as we come in

381
00:48:56,550 --> 00:48:52,000
we're looking at towards the tail of the

382
00:48:58,050 --> 00:48:56,560
shuttle that's a large flight package

383
00:49:00,840 --> 00:48:58,060
you see in the center is actually an

384
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:00,850
empty soft cushion that contains some of

385
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:03,850
our transfer cargo we're now standing to

386
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:06,010
the starboard side and now to the

387
00:49:11,730 --> 00:49:08,410
forward side you can see the tunnel we

388
00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:11,740
just came through and the space haps

389
00:49:19,590 --> 00:49:14,590
that system computer that we've set up

390
00:49:22,020 --> 00:49:19,600
every day we have our cue cards that's a

391
00:49:24,510 --> 00:49:22,030
handheld mic there velcroed and then

392
00:49:27,090 --> 00:49:24,520
over to the starboard side you see many

393
00:49:28,970 --> 00:49:27,100
of the soft containers that were used

394
00:49:31,890 --> 00:49:28,980
for our cargo that worked out very well

395
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:31,900
now going back towards the aft end you

396
00:49:41,410 --> 00:49:35,890
see the opium rack the LCM is safely

397
00:49:47,350 --> 00:49:44,980
and the cushion that gently tethered to

398
00:49:49,450 --> 00:49:47,360
the front so now let's go back to the

399
00:49:50,980 --> 00:49:49,460
app dent that we just missed Jim we'll

400
00:49:53,410 --> 00:49:50,990
see him again told it later he was

401
00:49:55,780 --> 00:49:53,420
working on MGM which is in the center

402
00:49:58,570 --> 00:49:55,790
there you'll see in a moment right in

403
00:49:58,990 --> 00:49:58,580
front of you are the two Sam's Center

404
00:50:01,920 --> 00:49:59,000
heads

405
00:50:05,530 --> 00:50:01,930
those are acceleration measuring systems

406
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:05,540
and up there the blue box is the EF

407
00:50:11,830 --> 00:50:09,290
freezer and now the to see GPAs that

408
00:50:14,260 --> 00:50:11,840
they've tended to during his flight that

409
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:14,270
we transferred during the flight those

410
00:50:20,770 --> 00:50:17,930
are part of our data check every day and

411
00:50:23,830 --> 00:50:20,780
surrounding them I love the Cancer

412
00:50:26,260 --> 00:50:23,840
containers the cargo containers we can

413
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:26,270
closer look at the Sam's here I would

414
00:50:30,430 --> 00:50:28,910
solve any flight comes out of the Lewis

415
00:50:34,180 --> 00:50:30,440
Research Center it's an excellent

416
00:50:36,550 --> 00:50:34,190
acceleration measurement system these

417
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:36,560
remote heads can be put anywhere to

418
00:50:40,900 --> 00:50:38,330
measure at different frequency ranges

419
00:50:44,290 --> 00:50:40,910
the RHD accelerations that experiments

420
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:44,300
are exposed to their two chambers to the

421
00:50:49,420 --> 00:50:46,730
staff I'm not showing you the active one

422
00:50:52,270 --> 00:50:49,430
right now this is one of these stem

423
00:50:54,460 --> 00:50:52,280
cells and up on the ceiling there as

424
00:50:56,860 --> 00:50:54,470
part of the Japanese experiment for

425
00:50:59,410 --> 00:50:56,870
radiation monitoring it's called the

426
00:51:02,230 --> 00:50:59,420
detector unit strapped to the ceiling

427
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:02,240
with our silver dosimeter strapped

428
00:51:07,180 --> 00:51:05,690
around it another advantage of our

429
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:07,190
weightless environment is that you can

430
00:51:12,460 --> 00:51:10,490
use all surfaces in off to your right

431
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:12,470
there on the starboard side of the state

432
00:51:18,550 --> 00:51:17,210
tab is the DTO 1125 or tipping

433
00:51:21,730 --> 00:51:18,560
experiment out of the Johnson Space

434
00:51:27,100 --> 00:51:21,740
Center whether it's a dosimeter balls

435
00:51:29,740 --> 00:51:27,110
and sabbatarian slices now we scan to

436
00:51:32,770 --> 00:51:29,750
the port side with the large rack that

437
00:51:37,630 --> 00:51:32,780
is a combination of two experiments the

438
00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:37,640
VR AFP and the Japanese radiation

439
00:51:42,820 --> 00:51:40,250
monitoring experiment we did the entire

440
00:51:45,670 --> 00:51:42,830
work a lot of work with the RMD it has a

441
00:51:48,490 --> 00:51:45,680
an electrical panel there up at the top

442
00:51:51,010 --> 00:51:48,500
and then a data recording unit next to

443
00:51:52,900 --> 00:51:51,020
the computer and that's the R&D laptop

444
00:51:54,660 --> 00:51:52,910
that we have setup for keeping track of

445
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:54,670
data

446
00:51:59,430 --> 00:51:57,010
we're going back down the tunnel and

447
00:52:01,529 --> 00:51:59,440
we're going to pass through the ODS or

448
00:52:07,859 --> 00:52:01,539
the orbiter docking system which is also

449
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:07,869
now our external airlock those yellow

450
00:52:12,059 --> 00:52:09,970
handrails on your left and right or what

451
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:12,069
I'm using to kind of float myself down

452
00:52:18,450 --> 00:52:14,650
the tunnel I'm going to come in under

453
00:52:19,980 --> 00:52:18,460
the EMU in the external airlock and

454
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:19,990
we're gonna just look up and take a look

455
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:23,410
at what we were calling ms7 and ms8 on

456
00:52:29,490 --> 00:52:26,650
our VIP deck for quite a few days now

457
00:52:32,990 --> 00:52:29,500
we're going into a tunnel adapter which

458
00:52:36,180 --> 00:52:33,000
is where we keep a several bag stowage

459
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:36,190
during the mission shall we keep our

460
00:52:43,559 --> 00:52:40,930
laundry bags and flight data file that

461
00:52:45,420 --> 00:52:43,569
we're not using how the mid-deck is not

462
00:52:47,700 --> 00:52:45,430
only laboratory it's also our living

463
00:52:50,309 --> 00:52:47,710
area Mike's been working on a lot of our

464
00:52:57,690 --> 00:52:50,319
mid-deck experiments here he's setting

465
00:52:59,359 --> 00:52:57,700
up the camera operation for MTN E as you

466
00:53:01,499 --> 00:52:59,369
know we've been working up some

467
00:53:03,289 --> 00:53:01,509
anomalies with that we're trying to

468
00:53:09,930 --> 00:53:03,299
understand what's happening in that

469
00:53:11,910 --> 00:53:09,940
experiment just about that is the sea

470
00:53:14,339 --> 00:53:11,920
bass experiment and certainly while you

471
00:53:15,809 --> 00:53:14,349
can't see the fish the big ones are the

472
00:53:17,609 --> 00:53:15,819
little ones are the snails we've been

473
00:53:19,529 --> 00:53:17,619
peering through the screens because it's

474
00:53:22,170 --> 00:53:19,539
that backlit back there and find it very

475
00:53:24,180 --> 00:53:22,180
interesting the commander is working out

476
00:53:28,559 --> 00:53:24,190
on the bicycle and we'll all get our

477
00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:28,569
turn today and you can see that we have

478
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:30,640
side of it of stowage that we've been

479
00:53:35,519 --> 00:53:32,490
moving around on the mid-deck

480
00:53:39,990 --> 00:53:35,529
these two laptops that represents what's

481
00:53:43,650 --> 00:53:40,000
happening on the GPS experiment GTO 700

482
00:53:47,579 --> 00:53:43,660
- 14 and dto 700 - 15 which took on

483
00:53:51,390 --> 00:53:47,589
Ziggy now we scan a two-hour port side

484
00:53:54,900 --> 00:53:51,400
to the small area the galley area and

485
00:53:56,999 --> 00:53:54,910
the WCS area and our prime payload just

486
00:53:58,740 --> 00:53:57,009
needed to have something to do so we put

487
00:54:01,799 --> 00:53:58,750
it to work and he's turned out to be

488
00:54:04,410 --> 00:54:01,809
very good at this this is a check of the

489
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:04,420
refrigerator the qhm and one of the

490
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:06,730
things we noticed is that so we have to

491
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:08,290
keep the soldier clean and so

492
00:54:11,850 --> 00:54:10,210
just clean the filter for those folks we

493
00:54:14,490 --> 00:54:11,860
had a small pallet they've been sucked

494
00:54:19,460 --> 00:54:14,500
in we also have activity up on the

495
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:22,890
where Gemma has quite a few cameras the

496
00:54:28,980 --> 00:54:26,530
road and every time we all get a chance

497
00:54:35,220 --> 00:54:28,990
we come up and take some photos that for

498
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:35,230
the sirdar's folks these are 20

499
00:54:39,990 --> 00:54:37,570
millimeter Hasselblad and this is the

500
00:54:44,030 --> 00:54:40,000
earth cam camera set up in the starboard

501
00:54:46,710 --> 00:54:44,040
window the view of the front cockpit

502
00:54:56,150 --> 00:54:46,720
that's the flight plan is tethered and

503
00:54:58,860 --> 00:54:56,160
floating in front of you and the OCA

504
00:55:03,920 --> 00:54:58,870
PTFE which now has the earth cam

505
00:55:13,700 --> 00:55:08,340
let's go back down the interactive deck

506
00:55:20,580 --> 00:55:18,140
and we'll say a goodbye to the commander

507
00:55:28,980 --> 00:55:20,590
Terry well Carter's just done a superb

508
00:55:30,870 --> 00:55:28,990
job with his flight and I'll say goodbye

509
00:55:37,470 --> 00:55:30,880
as well and thank you gents Robin

510
00:55:47,250 --> 00:55:39,480
