1 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:29,060 you 2 00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:33,060 that's beautiful after the highly 3 00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:35,620 successful 7th shuttle mission featuring 4 00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:38,110 America's first model in space first 5 00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,120 food pictures of the show flying on 6 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:42,160 orbit and the launcher to commercial 7 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:44,410 satellites Challenger is ready to fly 8 00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:47,410 again STS eight will include a night 9 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:49,000 launch and landing with liftoff 10 00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:51,610 scheduled for august 30 mission 8 will 11 00:00:55,649 --> 00:00:53,320 again use a five-member team of 12 00:00:58,259 --> 00:00:55,659 astronauts with Richard truly of Fayette 13 00:01:00,840 --> 00:00:58,269 Mississippi as commander truly was pilot 14 00:01:04,049 --> 00:01:00,850 of STS to a test flight of mortgages 15 00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:04,059 Columbia in November 1981 as the volanth 16 00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:06,520 I think it's going to be a spectacular 17 00:01:12,539 --> 00:01:11,200 view but as far as procedures there they 18 00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:12,549 really don't change with the night 19 00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:15,070 launch the landing is different however 20 00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,190 during Brandon staying on 21 00:01:21,110 --> 00:01:19,200 of flight test with a number of other 22 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:21,120 people in developing and night lighting 23 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,930 scheme and we will have it in place at 24 00:01:29,420 --> 00:01:26,880 all the late insights both in being 25 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:29,430 Edwards and in Norfolk 40 year old Dan 26 00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:31,920 brandenstein will serve as pilot on sts 27 00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:33,720 eight he described the photo 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:37,140 documentation for the flight well we're 29 00:01:42,820 --> 00:01:39,930 taking quite a bit of a film along to 30 00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:42,830 take pictures and as in previous flights 31 00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:45,750 we take a lot of pictures of both the 32 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,550 ocean and the earth a night launch 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:49,680 drives us to a in the southern 34 00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:51,210 hemisphere where in daylight essentially 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:52,320 all the time and in the northern 36 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:54,090 hemisphere winter dark so we'll be 37 00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:56,690 seeing parts of South America and 38 00:02:00,580 --> 00:01:58,650 Australia that haven't been seen by 39 00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:00,590 previous crews and the both the 40 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:02,310 oceanographers are interested in the 41 00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:04,770 ocean around these areas and geologists 42 00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:06,180 are interested in some of the land 43 00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:09,630 mission specialist David garden Iowa we 44 00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:12,310 lose the remote manipulator 45 00:02:17,850 --> 00:02:14,800 Frank cast article will explain one 46 00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:17,860 purpose of this simulated satellite the 47 00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:21,190 shape of it is supposed to simulate a 48 00:02:25,559 --> 00:02:23,620 payroll that's coming along on sds 13 49 00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:25,569 called the ram duration exposure 50 00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:31,180 facility lvf that they wrote is so large 51 00:02:36,270 --> 00:02:33,190 that the crew is going to be unable to 52 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:36,280 see from the a flight back the attached 53 00:02:41,850 --> 00:02:39,040 points where the LDF attaches to the 54 00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:41,860 orbiter solera task is never going to be 55 00:02:45,690 --> 00:02:43,870 to attempt to unbirth it out of the 56 00:02:47,370 --> 00:02:45,700 payload bay berthoud back in the payload 57 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:47,380 bay with those visual restrictions 58 00:02:51,420 --> 00:02:49,930 similar to that whether flight mission 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:51,430 specialist guy and blueford of 60 00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:53,170 philadelphia pennsylvania will be the 61 00:02:57,479 --> 00:02:55,030 first black American to fly in space 62 00:02:59,009 --> 00:02:57,489 he's primarily responsible for the 63 00:03:02,910 --> 00:02:59,019 deployment of a commercial satellite 64 00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:02,920 called incense once that is Indian 65 00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:04,870 satellite it's a communication satellite 66 00:03:09,780 --> 00:03:06,880 that's going to be used by the Indian 67 00:03:12,809 --> 00:03:09,790 government to broadcast communications 68 00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:12,819 throughout the Indian Peninsula it's 69 00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:15,060 also then be used as a weather satellite 70 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:18,190 to map the Indian Peninsula with 71 00:03:23,550 --> 00:03:20,890 reference to weather and also be able to 72 00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:23,560 relay that information to remote areas 73 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:26,500 of India we inform is a mission 74 00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:28,510 specialist and medical doctor who will 75 00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:30,940 be coming on research into the effect of 76 00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:33,190 weightlessness on astronauts and the 77 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:35,260 sickness that sometimes elevated cars 78 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:38,560 adjustment well just a large JK what are 79 00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,310 you doing is an in-flight investigation 80 00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:43,840 that would be very similar to what 81 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:48,760 someone would get here on earth if you 82 00:03:55,390 --> 00:03:52,130 went into a specialists office and said 83 00:03:58,690 --> 00:03:55,400 that darn I get dizzy can you tell me 84 00:04:01,180 --> 00:03:58,700 why I have simply translated these 85 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:01,190 ordinary clinical investigations that 86 00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:04,250 are done into hardware that the 87 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:05,600 measurements can be made in 88 00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:06,890 weightlessness so that we can 89 00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:09,380 characterize what's going on space 90 00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:11,750 shuttle 8 and night launch and a night
