arriving at the 195-foot level the fixed

31
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:15,590
service structure at pad V walking over

32
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:26,090
and some of the we'll wait wait out on

33
00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:30,090
the orbiter access arm while other

34
00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:32,820
crewmembers are being assisted with

00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:35,880
their helmets and other attire so that

36
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:38,250
it doesn't get too crowded the white

37
00:04:05,590 --> 00:03:43,680
room is not very large and of course Tom

38
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:08,870
copy that ass and in the meantime if you

39
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:10,770
could perform your clothes out for

40
00:04:20,449 --> 00:04:13,730
flight pull your checklist please

41
00:04:23,420 --> 00:04:20,459
yes copy in all systems OTC we're gonna

42
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,430
proceed without the context any

43
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:25,440
conversation on how all I asked you one

44
00:04:51,939 --> 00:04:48,840
too will be heard by the crew and the

45
00:04:59,570 --> 00:04:51,949
hatch is being closed and sealed

46
00:05:02,150 --> 00:04:59,580
exactly on time all our activities

47
00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:02,160
continue to go smoothly here today we're

48
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:03,870
not working any technical problems our

49
00:05:09,890 --> 00:05:06,570
weather is holding for us at this time

50
00:05:19,659 --> 00:05:09,900
and we still expect a long time liftoff

51
00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:22,400
and the orbiter access arm can be moved

52
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:24,060
back into position around the hatch in

53
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:26,130
about 30 seconds should an emergency

54
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:51,600

work

106
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:06,230
how did you see see the boy giant SS yes

107
00:11:20,190 --> 00:11:08,010
sir I can you step nine six six across

108
00:11:23,980 --> 00:11:22,390
play booster locks tank it's like

109
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:23,990
pressure and just a heads up if you're

110
00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:27,890
gonna watch on anyone dare you see the

111
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:29,750
secondary seal pressure will stay low

112
00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:31,370
like that negative because it's a block

113
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:32,750
one engine it doesn't have a transducer

114
00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:37,040
now location copy feel at the city hold

00:11:42,010 --> 00:11:39,200
it 31 downtown clock will hold it - 31

116
00:11:48,010 --> 00:11:42,020
seconds did we like formation around a

117
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:48,020
multipath contingency SP entity let's go

118
00:11:58,290 --> 00:11:51,529
ahead and keep your s here we go Rizal

119
00:12:03,610 --> 00:11:58,300
15 seconds anyone I copy epi

120
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:03,620
that's our be either ignition liftoff

121
00:12:14,620 --> 00:12:10,480
confirmed Roger that roll program

122
00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:14,630
Roger roll discovery like I didn't see

123
00:12:26,390 --> 00:12:20,240
the rule copy slide he come go ahead we

124
00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:29,070
negative return discovery Houston

125
00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:54,870
check that out

126
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:15,190
yeah it's great

127
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:29,460
you get spec 200 messages coming

128
00:13:44,110 --> 00:13:31,659
beginnings that they raised in 258

129
00:13:44,120 --> 00:15:07,990
Houston discovery that's a deploy

130
00:15:12,730 --> 00:15:10,389
good morning welcome aboard discovery

131
00:15:14,499 --> 00:15:12,740
for a hundred sixteen miles above the

132
00:15:18,309 --> 00:15:14,509
earth just approaching the southern tip

133
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:18,319
of Baja and we like to share a moment

134
00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:21,170
with you to dedicate the new

135
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:24,230
consolidated control center after thirty

136
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:27,620
years of hard work which included over

137
00:15:32,199 --> 00:15:29,689
100 manned space flights from old

138
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:32,209
control room we're now entering the next

139
00:15:36,730 --> 00:15:34,310
century by opening the new control

140
00:15:40,420 --> 00:15:36,740
center which will lead our manned

141
00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:40,430
spaceflight program into future benefits

142
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:42,529
aboard International Space Station and

143
00:15:47,019 --> 00:15:44,870
into the next century continuing our

144
00:15:50,170 --> 00:15:47,029
exploration of the solar system for the

145
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:50,180
benefit of humankind aboard discovery on

146
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:51,889
this white we have a plaque that

147
00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:54,170
commemorates the opening of the new

148
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:56,569
control center and it says in

149
00:16:01,960 --> 00:15:58,850
recognition of the first flight flown

150
00:16:04,179 --> 00:16:01,970
from this Mission Control Room this park

151
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:04,189
was flown on the flight STS 70

152
00:16:09,850 --> 00:16:06,550
on board the space shuttle Discovery

153
00:16:13,660 --> 00:16:09,860
built by the pilot teamwork and powered

154
00:16:15,460 --> 00:16:13,670
by pirate spirit and we dedicated to all

155
00:16:17,769 --> 00:16:15,470
the folks who have worked in the flight

156
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:17,779
control rooms and who will work in the

157
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:20,089
new control room and it's all an honor

158
00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:23,569
to carry this plaque for those folks and

159
00:16:29,559 --> 00:16:26,720
we do dedicated to their teamwork and

160
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:29,569
effort and it's not the rooms that make

161
00:16:34,119 --> 00:16:31,370
the difference it's the people that man

162
00:16:36,819 --> 00:16:34,129
those rooms and we trust our lives and

163
00:16:39,549 --> 00:16:36,829
our nation's manned space program to

164
00:17:59,980 --> 00:16:39,559
those folks and we are proud to be a

165
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:01,870
that's a farm and this is a picture of

166
00:18:06,730 --> 00:18:04,160
Tom and I doing a Chili's activation and

167
00:18:08,980 --> 00:18:06,740
this is just one part of Hercules to

168
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:08,990
happen the IBM ThinkPad computer and

169
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:10,850
you'll see the actual camera coming to

170
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:15,200
view and just a little bit this camera

171
00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:15,770
on the ground

172
00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:17,990
weighed approximately 70 pounds and it

173
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:19,670
was quite difficult to train with

174
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:21,800
particular star alignments to hold this

175
00:18:26,620 --> 00:18:24,770
device over your head and be able to get

176
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:26,630
an alignment within point zero five

177
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:29,450
degrees we had some difficulty with the

178
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:31,010
alignment today and mostly due to the

179
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:32,900
stabilization of the camera because it

180
00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:35,210
is so large and there's the camera that

181
00:18:42,660 --> 00:18:40,460
I'm holding right now so I be on camera

182
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:42,670
which is a qualified spectral imaging

183
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:45,830
intensifier camera and it's got its own

184
00:19:31,060 --> 00:18:47,810
alignment system that's the character on

185
00:21:36,560 --> 00:19:33,410
discovery Don no response it's great to

186
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:38,870
hey the Windex camera is all installed

187
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:42,060
in the out window we're ready to forget

188
00:21:46,580 --> 00:21:44,330
our operations here on the flight deck

189
00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:46,590
what we'll be doing here doing this

190
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:48,960
series of tests is that Tom Hendricks a

191
00:21:53,870 --> 00:21:51,990
commander will be manually inputting

192
00:21:55,970 --> 00:21:53,880
some frustra firings and during night

193
00:21:57,740 --> 00:21:55,980
passes and we'll be looking at the glow

194
00:22:00,800 --> 00:21:57,750
and the emissions from the front

195
00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:00,810
thruster plumes out around the vicinity

196
00:34:06,419 --> 00:22:02,940
of the tail area and the impacts on the

197
00:34:11,950 --> 00:34:09,129
discovery Houston we see you on energy

198
00:34:13,899 --> 00:34:11,960
approaching to hack no update to wins or

199
00:34:27,419 --> 00:34:13,909
weather and you're go for a nominal

200
00:34:32,220 --> 00:34:29,909
commander Tom Henrichs has now assumed

201
00:34:33,930 --> 00:34:32,230
manual control flying the orbiter taking

202
00:34:35,609 --> 00:34:33,940
over from automatic computers as he

203
00:34:37,859 --> 00:34:35,619
begins to negotiate his way around the

204
00:34:39,269 --> 00:34:37,869
so called heading alignment cylinder the

205
00:34:43,049 --> 00:34:39,279
mythical point of reference that

206
00:35:03,320 --> 00:34:43,059
commanders and pilots use to align

207
00:35:08,090 --> 00:35:05,420
Henrik's leveling off the wings as he

208
00:35:10,370 --> 00:35:08,100
begins to negotiate a 237 degree turn

209
00:35:13,130 --> 00:35:10,380
aligning himself with runway 33 the

210
00:35:16,730 --> 00:35:13,140
southeast and northwest approach and an

211
00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:16,740
end to Discovery's 21st mission time to

212
00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:18,720
touch down just three minutes discovery

213
00:35:30,770 --> 00:35:28,260
at an altitude of 31,000 feet the

214
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:30,780
vortices of the moist air in the early

215
00:35:33,770 --> 00:35:32,070
morning hours at the Kennedy Space

discovery Houston on energy at the 90

219
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:14,950
Henrik's now completing his turn to

220
00:36:19,230 --> 00:36:16,910
align himself with runway 33 at the

221
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:19,240
Kennedy Space Center time to touch down

222
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:23,650
scurvy Houston and copy runway insight

223
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:26,890
about 90 seconds away from touchdown

224
00:36:31,269 --> 00:36:28,970
discovery now at an altitude of about

225
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:31,279
13,000 feet as it completes its final

226
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:49,720
discovery speed break comes open as the

227
00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:52,850
orbiter now aligned with runway 3-3 its

228
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:54,800
final descent seven times steeper than

229
00:36:58,300 --> 00:36:56,570
that of a commercial jetliner on final

230
00:37:15,089 --> 00:36:58,310
