out of the 35 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:41,980 side door there we've got the other two 36 00:02:48,930 --> 00:02:43,930 mission specialists Marsha Ivins and 37 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:48,940 David Lowe being greeted by Kennedy 38 00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:50,890 Space Center employees and we're wishing 39 00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:54,790 them well for today's flight and the 40 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:03,150 today I'm looking at favorable weather 41 00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:38,000 my crew now at the white room at launch 42 00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:40,980 pad 39a commander Dan brandenstein is 43 00:03:45,650 --> 00:03:43,230 being assisted now with the rest of his 44 00:04:15,199 --> 00:03:45,660 gear before boarding the orbiter of 45 00:04:15,209 --> 00:04:31,080 all right 46 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:33,790 coming up on retraction of the orbiter 47 00:05:02,650 --> 00:04:38,720 access arm this arm can be extended in 48 00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:06,970 LT LTZ before making you pre-start 49 00:05:14,990 --> 00:05:12,990 as IP restarts at work main engines now 50 00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:15,000 being gimballed will be put in the ready 51 00:05:26,570 --> 00:05:24,240 to start position now retracting the 52 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:26,580 gaseous oxygen vent hood away from the 53 00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:46,770 vehicle back to the launch position two 54 00:05:52,730 --> 00:05:51,060 minutes 31 seconds we have a go for 55 00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:52,740 autosequence start Columbia's for 56 00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:54,660 redundant computers have primary control 57 00:06:07,010 --> 00:05:56,460 of critical vehicle functions for the 58 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:10,219 t-minus 10 9 we have a go for main 59 00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:16,410 engine start five four three two one 60 00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:20,520 zero booster ignition and liftoff of 61 00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:25,080 Columbia a new decade from the tower and 62 00:06:37,159 --> 00:06:28,020 over to Houston complete roll program 63 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:37,169 initiated that roll confirmed as 64 00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:39,690 Columbia heads out on the proper launch 65 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:43,020 azimuth or the race to catch Elda now 66 00:06:47,180 --> 00:06:45,449 throttling down through 102 percent for 67 00:06:49,010 --> 00:06:47,190 the passage through maximum dynamic 68 00:06:52,969 --> 00:06:49,020 pressure they'll take the engines down 69 00:07:10,070 --> 00:06:52,979 to 65% three good AP use three good fuel 70 00:07:15,860 --> 00:07:12,520 now twelve nautical miles downrange 71 00:07:17,869 --> 00:07:15,870 velocity 3200 feet per second three good 72 00:07:20,990 --> 00:07:17,879 main engines three good fuel cells three 73 00:07:34,010 --> 00:07:21,000 good AP use 15 nautical miles downrange 74 00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:43,420 standing by for SRB staging 75 00:09:16,590 --> 00:07:46,629 now at 4,400 feet per second 40 miles 76 00:09:20,610 --> 00:09:18,000 okay John what you're looking at right 77 00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:20,620 now is the CENTCOM satellite that's an 78 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:21,880 acronym that stands for synchronous 79 00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:24,490 communications it's built by the Hughes 80 00:09:28,770 --> 00:09:27,670 communication services incorporated for 81 00:09:30,620 --> 00:09:28,780 the United States Navy it's actually 82 00:09:33,180 --> 00:09:30,630 leased to the United States Navy's for 83 00:09:35,580 --> 00:09:33,190 communications and the UHF frequency 84 00:09:38,060 --> 00:09:35,590 with its worldwide sleep you can see it 85 00:09:41,010 --> 00:09:38,070 coming out of the payload Bay right now 86 00:09:45,090 --> 00:09:41,020 rotating at about 1.7 rpm and 87 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:45,100 translating away at about about 1.5 g 88 00:09:52,530 --> 00:09:49,690 per second it was held in the bay by a 89 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:52,540 cradle in a cradle we had four pins that 90 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:55,090 we released one by one and then finally 91 00:10:07,410 --> 00:09:57,730 at deploy time we had a a pyrotechnic 92 00:10:10,530 --> 00:10:07,420 device it push it away rpm this picture 93 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:10,540 here about 80 seconds into the deploy 94 00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:12,570 and the omni antenna you can see 95 00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:16,150 deploying at this time as you can see 96 00:10:19,470 --> 00:10:18,070 this spacecraft is XO deployed out of 97 00:10:56,509 --> 00:10:19,480 the payload Bay when the payload Bay is 98 00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:03,259 good morning Columbia 99 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:07,650 good morning earth we thought you'd 100 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:09,250 appreciate a little Bing Crosby to wake 101 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:20,410 up to this morning it was wonderful oK 102 00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:21,970 you've got the hunt steps on the left 103 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:23,769 and water coming out on the right 104 00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:29,529 Roger them what you can see but you 105 00:11:32,369 --> 00:11:31,240 probably can't see very well TV but 106 00:11:33,689 --> 00:11:32,379 right along the leading edge you're 107 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:33,699 studying about where the light is now 108 00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:36,370 the water comes up about a quarter away 109 00:11:42,329 --> 00:11:37,990 just a little bit below where the floor 110 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:42,339 line now is and it goes back over here 111 00:11:45,809 --> 00:11:43,930 here comes up to about the floor line 112 00:11:48,689 --> 00:11:45,819 it's just a few waters you indicated it 113 00:11:50,309 --> 00:11:48,699 was like on 27 on the front around the 114 00:11:56,129 --> 00:11:50,319 end here we can't see anything 115 00:11:57,780 --> 00:11:56,139 but on the back stuff there's a little 116 00:11:59,759 --> 00:11:57,790 Ridge along the bottom and you just see 117 00:12:02,670 --> 00:11:59,769 that there's just some water there 118 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:02,680 looking down it is the bilges anyone's 119 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:03,970 alive you can see little blob of water 120 00:12:08,189 --> 00:12:06,130 down there and till we get this on so be 121 00:12:09,689 --> 00:12:08,199 kind of hard to tell because we can't 122 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:09,699 give a bit of you don't pass this 123 00:12:14,579 --> 00:12:12,850 canister enough Columbia Houston we 124 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:14,589 can't tell very well from the video what 125 00:12:17,249 --> 00:12:15,730 you're seeing can you give us a little 126 00:12:29,050 --> 00:12:17,259 bit of a description what what you got 127 00:12:35,890 --> 00:12:32,380 I'll kind of start on the water tank up 128 00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:35,900 here there are few globules and on the 129 00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:38,660 side of the wet trash storage there's 130 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:43,190 one big blob and then down along the 131 00:12:50,980 --> 00:12:47,210 side of the wet storage system or then 132 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:50,990 on the deck and along these cables are 133 00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:53,120 some big globs and then also on the home 134 00:12:59,860 --> 00:12:56,150 step far there's a big glob a grand told 135 00:13:01,030 --> 00:12:59,870 probably of court if you probably 136 00:13:41,950 --> 00:13:01,040 something all up and that's a pretty 137 00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:41,960 rough good morning Columbia we like to 138 00:13:48,910 --> 00:13:43,700 wake up music so much today we thought 139 00:14:14,320 --> 00:13:48,920 we play it for you twice good morning 140 00:14:19,330 --> 00:14:16,810 Columbia Houston we have a Tallyho on L 141 00:16:27,780 --> 00:14:19,340 deaf and it looks even better than the 142 00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:34,810 we were extremely happy we were ready to 143 00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:37,550 continue at this point it doesn't show 144 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:39,800 up anywhere in the video or anything but 145 00:16:44,590 --> 00:16:43,010 Lex we took over and manually flew to 146 00:16:47,370 --> 00:16:44,600 protect attitude and maintain that 147 00:16:51,850 --> 00:16:47,380 attitude throughout the photo survey and 148 00:16:53,170 --> 00:16:51,860 Marcia took more photos and I'm clear to 149 00:16:55,870 --> 00:16:53,180 tell you but she'll tell you in her film 150 00:16:59,620 --> 00:16:55,880 report tonight and they think that 151 00:17:02,770 --> 00:16:59,630 that'll all go well towards documenting 152 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:02,780 and helping with the data that they hope 153 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:06,170 to get off fell death Lumbee houston we 154 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:07,610 have a message for you from the 155 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:10,930 administrator if you're ready ready 156 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:13,610 today as you flawlessly executed the l 157 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:16,010 def retrieval literally millions pause 158 00:17:20,170 --> 00:17:18,410 from their daily routines and quietly 159 00:17:22,449 --> 00:17:20,180 watched America's space program and its 160 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:22,459 very best thanks for providing us 161 00:17:28,059 --> 00:17:24,530 earthbound folks with such an inspiring 162 00:17:58,919 --> 00:17:28,069 start for the 1990s sign Vice Admiral 163 00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:07,990 good morning Columbia Houston your music 164 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:09,590 this morning is courtesy of the L def 165 00:18:38,460 --> 00:18:11,450 project who are obviously very happy 166 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:44,879 and we're getting good downlink we think 167 00:18:49,389 --> 00:18:47,210 that's I guess that there's a dogs 168 00:18:51,549 --> 00:18:49,399 question for earlier we pulled up a 169 00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:51,559 notify yesterday we was a little 170 00:18:55,869 --> 00:18:53,809 flirting with a special filter on but we 171 00:18:57,849 --> 00:18:55,879 saw something that was kind of strange 172 00:19:00,639 --> 00:18:57,859 so we got it on the camera corner and we 173 00:19:02,499 --> 00:19:00,649 thought we'd show it to you so probably 174 00:19:03,639 --> 00:19:02,509 the first of a long line of experiments 175 00:19:07,060 --> 00:19:03,649 with the tomatoes that have been out 176 00:19:09,099 --> 00:19:07,070 there yeah it's great we're just 177 00:19:12,009 --> 00:19:09,109 crossing the Andes this about to come 178 00:19:13,749 --> 00:19:12,019 into a bunch of clouds but now you can 179 00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:13,759 see it but there's a religious ecology 180 00:19:22,509 --> 00:19:15,200 down in the mountains in this part of 181 00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:22,519 the world we're getting a great view dan 182 00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:27,080 thanks this machine is the American 183 00:19:32,649 --> 00:19:29,179 Floyd echocardiogram is an off-the-shelf 184 00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:32,659 ultrasonic imaging system that it's a 185 00:19:36,580 --> 00:19:34,099 standard piece of equipment that's used 186 00:19:39,269 --> 00:19:36,590 to get a non-invasive picture of the 187 00:19:42,639 --> 00:19:39,279 heart and other other soft tissue 188 00:19:44,739 --> 00:19:42,649 attorneys got the transducer that does 189 00:19:47,969 --> 00:19:44,749 the ultrasonic imaging and we're putting 190 00:19:50,999 --> 00:19:47,979 a gel on it which is sort of goopy water 191 00:19:54,369 --> 00:19:51,009 okay that that gives us a better picture 192 00:19:57,519 --> 00:19:54,379 the way the ultrasound works is that the 193 00:20:00,129 --> 00:19:57,529 ultrasound waves will basically bounce 194 00:20:02,529 --> 00:20:00,139 off different structure with different 195 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:02,539 different densities in it and that's how 196 00:20:06,099 --> 00:20:04,129 we see a picture of the heart what we're 197 00:20:08,379 --> 00:20:06,109 doing with this experiment is measuring 198 00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:08,389 the cardiovascular changes that 199 00:20:13,509 --> 00:20:10,419 microgravity causes on the body 200 00:20:15,129 --> 00:20:13,519 this data was taken on a spree flight 201 00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:15,139 will be done post flight and then we're 202 00:20:20,409 --> 00:20:17,929 gathering the data right and so they can 203 00:20:22,330 --> 00:20:20,419 measure the different sizes of these 204 00:20:48,590 --> 00:20:22,340 chambers of the heart and tell what 205 00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:51,960 Gimli of the bread mob looks like it's 206 00:20:55,710 --> 00:20:52,929 paid for 207 00:20:58,799 --> 00:20:55,720 even fans and on the past two days 208 00:20:59,909 --> 00:20:58,809 almost all of them have gone stamped it 209 00:21:01,770 --> 00:20:59,919 looks like the growth is about 210 00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:01,780 two-thirds of the way down the to one I 211 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:03,190 lost all of the white list we're gonna 212 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:05,650 take some photographs and then if you 213 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:07,210 have nothing else we'll go under the red 214 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:20,820 those are the farts they're looking for 215 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:43,060 Columbia Houston we have some real-time 216 00:22:04,730 --> 00:21:46,450 downlink of your water depth looks great 217 00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:19,480 totally interesting move this him 218 00:22:35,930 --> 00:22:22,710 Frankie said April 219 00:22:40,490 --> 00:22:38,850 okay Jason we what you can see here is 220 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:40,500 the lower body negative pressure device 221 00:22:46,380 --> 00:22:43,090 or lb NP as we've been calling it here 222 00:22:49,830 --> 00:22:46,390 which is a candidate reconditioning 223 00:22:53,870 --> 00:22:49,840 protocol that we hope might be able to 224 00:22:55,850 --> 00:22:53,880 use to be used for overcoming or 225 00:22:58,140 --> 00:22:55,860 bettering orthostatic intolerance 226 00:23:02,700 --> 00:22:58,150 orthostatic intolerance and one gravity 227 00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:02,710 is the inability to stand up without 228 00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:04,870 feeling dizzy or lightheaded or even in 229 00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:06,809 the worst case I'm catching out her 230 00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:10,590 thank you okay so what we've got here is 231 00:23:15,029 --> 00:23:12,700 the lower body negative pressure device 232 00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:15,039 the last time we flew one of these in 233 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:17,230 the u.s. space program was on a scarlet 234 00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:19,530 message exactly we were on all three 235 00:23:23,149 --> 00:23:21,640 stations it looked a little bit 236 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:23,159 different from this in fact it was a 237 00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:27,610 solid can that we flew in this case 238 00:23:30,330 --> 00:23:29,110 there's entire device and all the 239 00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:30,340 equipment that you see right here can be 240 00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:31,929 folded up and put into one of our 241 00:23:40,919 --> 00:23:38,260 lockers here what we're doing here is at 242 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:40,929 the same time that bonnie has a lower 243 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:43,690 body a little pressure on a lower body 244 00:23:48,419 --> 00:23:46,960 right now Marcia is using the American 245 00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:48,429 flight echocardiogram and taking some 246 00:23:53,310 --> 00:23:51,940 pictures of her heart so the 247 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:53,320 measurements that we take while we're 248 00:23:59,820 --> 00:23:55,450 doing this we are constantly measuring 249 00:24:01,680 --> 00:23:59,830 blood pressure heart rate and EKG and in 250 00:24:04,169 --> 00:24:01,690 fact EKG and heart rate are being 251 00:24:06,029 --> 00:24:04,179 constantly downlink to the ground blood 252 00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:06,039 pressure is the only one up here we're 253 00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:07,360 the only ones that have the deep blood 254 00:24:09,450 --> 00:24:07,840 pressure 255 00:24:11,220 --> 00:24:09,460 we're monitoring that on this automatic 256 00:24:13,399 --> 00:24:11,230 blood pressure device and it's also 257 00:24:16,110 --> 00:24:13,409 being taped down here on a recorder 258 00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:16,120 right now we've only got when we come 259 00:24:19,620 --> 00:24:17,260 out of this mission we are only going to 260 00:24:21,270 --> 00:24:19,630 have two data points which really isn't 261 00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:21,280 enough to draw any conclusions from but 262 00:24:27,930 --> 00:24:25,150 we'll be able to measure Bonnie's and my 263 00:24:30,750 --> 00:24:27,940 heart rate blood pressure and EKG when 264 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:30,760 we return to Edwards in a few days and 265 00:24:34,919 --> 00:24:32,890 see if we think there was any effects 266 00:24:36,899 --> 00:24:34,929 from this but more importantly when we 267 00:24:39,210 --> 00:24:36,909 fly this on some more shuttle flights 268 00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:39,220 and also you know we have any iteration 269 00:24:41,490 --> 00:24:40,750 is that any suggestions what we might be 270 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:41,500 able to make to this 271 00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:43,090 iterations between this and the 272 00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:44,710 ground-based studies 273 00:24:47,170 --> 00:24:46,130 hopefully 274 00:24:50,860 --> 00:24:47,180 in the future we'll be able to come up 275 00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:50,870 with a fairly good or maybe even a more 276 00:24:57,850 --> 00:24:52,400 effective countermeasure to orthostatic 277 00:24:58,540 --> 00:24:57,860 intolerance Dave would copy all that 278 00:25:00,910 --> 00:24:58,550 them 279 00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:00,920 we appreciate the brief on lb NT y'all 280 00:25:45,389 --> 00:25:43,310 hi Dan this is Larry Bird 281 00:25:47,639 -->

wasn't gonna happen 287 00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:36,759 this year no that's not the way it works 288 00:26:40,350 --> 00:26:38,440 he already heard birthday greetings from 289 00:26:42,690 --> 00:26:40,360 the astronaut office and from Larry Bird 290 00:26:44,669 --> 00:26:42,700 during the wakeup music but the L deaf 291 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:44,679 team and all the rest of us here in mcc 292 00:26:59,639 --> 00:26:46,210 wanted to wish you a happy birthday to 293 00:27:03,269 --> 00:26:59,649 Dan so how old are you anyway Cynthia 294 00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:03,279 Doris is a classified business it's a 295 00:27:07,259 --> 00:27:04,809 pleasure to bring you back aboard 296 00:27:09,450 --> 00:27:07,269 columbia again what we'd like to do 297 00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:09,460 today is give you a demonstration of 298 00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:11,529 some of the equipment we have on board 299 00:27:16,759 --> 00:27:13,809 the shuttle I know you're all are very 300 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:16,769 aware of the many pictures that people 301 00:27:21,299 --> 00:27:19,210 see coming down from the shuttle real 302 00:27:23,940 --> 00:27:21,309 time and also the photographs that are 303 00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:23,950 brought back the full of documentation 304 00:27:28,139 --> 00:27:26,350 on board the shuttle missions is done 305 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:28,149 with of a variety of photographic 306 00:27:33,419 --> 00:27:30,210 equipment and the purpose of the 307 00:27:35,850 --> 00:27:33,429 documentation is for earth observations 308 00:27:38,669 --> 00:27:35,860 for technical documentation of various 309 00:27:41,070 --> 00:27:38,679 experiments and payloads and so it is 310 00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:41,080 just pure aesthetics to demonstrate show 311 00:27:46,710 --> 00:27:43,809 people of America that support our space 312 00:27:50,549 --> 00:27:46,720 program how beautiful this universe is 313 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:50,559 that we live on so with that in mind I'd 314 00:27:54,730 --> 00:27:51,530 like to introduce them 315 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:54,740 simon's who's going to show you and 316 00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:56,090 demonstrate some of the things we do 317 00:28:11,790 --> 00:27:58,250 with the 70 millimeter camera and here's 318 00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:14,640 we are 70 millimeter camera that we used 319 00:28:18,270 --> 00:28:16,480 for mostly earth observations is a 320 00:28:20,190 --> 00:28:18,280 Hasselblad it's the standard Hasselblad 321 00:28:23,010 --> 00:28:20,200 that's pretty much not modified for our 322 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:23,020 use has a motor drive on it it has a 323 00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:37,070 the data makes about 95 or 100 frames of 324 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:40,140 film and it has a stator on the back 325 00:28:47,330 --> 00:28:42,450 that basically tells us the MEP that's 326 00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:47,340 what we're shooting for some test that 327 00:28:51,289 --> 00:28:49,440 we're flying I have some regular roles 328 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:51,299 in 120 film which is what happen that 329 00:29:09,830 --> 00:28:54,570 normally uses and I have the little back 330 00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:09,840 for that two cameras are one bracket and 331 00:29:13,490 --> 00:29:11,760 they're connected to a button when I get 332 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:13,500 one button I fire both cameras at the 333 00:29:51,740 --> 00:29:15,809 same time we slide three different 334 00:29:56,450 --> 00:29:51,750 lenses on this camera in the camera it 335 00:29:58,399 --> 00:29:56,460 requires that you so our spot gives us 336 00:30:00,470 --> 00:29:58,409 an exposure but we also use a spot meter 337 00:30:06,370 --> 00:30:00,480 looking out the window to average the 338 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:09,950 that's about it for the 1735 we'll be 339 00:30:28,510 --> 00:30:26,260 this is a standard 35 millimeter camera 340 00:30:30,940 --> 00:30:28,520 that most folks have at home we use it 341 00:30:32,890 --> 00:30:30,950 here onboard the shuttle for documenting 342 00:30:34,930 --> 00:30:32,900 through actions and taking still 343 00:30:36,550 --> 00:30:34,940 photography of some of the Patek 344 00:30:38,620 --> 00:30:36,560 experiments that were accomplishing and 345 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:38,630 also some action out in the payload Bay 346 00:30:45,820 --> 00:30:41,690 or for example L def in our case and 347 00:30:47,710 --> 00:30:45,830 Earth Observation photography we used on 348 00:30:57,030 --> 00:30:47,720 this camera various different lenses 349 00:31:01,390 --> 00:30:57,040 ranging all the way from fisheye lens 350 00:31:04,390 --> 00:31:01,400 for documenting action in the mid-deck 351 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:04,400 when you need to have a wide field of 352 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:06,410 view and it's the standard for 353 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:07,970 photograph that you see that slightly 354 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:13,490 distorted out on the side one of our 355 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:16,850 favorites 35 70 zoom for taking earth 356 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:18,650 observations you can frame the picture 357 00:31:26,350 --> 00:31:24,650 pretty nicely with that and all the way 358 00:31:31,510 --> 00:31:26,360 up to my favorite the 300 millimeter 359 00:31:33,550 --> 00:31:31,520 lens we're using this lens to compare it 360 00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:33,560 with 70 millimeter photography that 361 00:31:45,249 --> 00:31:42,879 some of the features are on this camera 362 00:31:47,710 --> 00:31:45,259 of course a standard flash that we use 363 00:31:49,090 --> 00:31:47,720 it has an automatic features they don't 364 00:31:51,190 --> 00:31:49,100 have to worry but any times they're 365 00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:51,200 setting the lights or taking meter 366 00:31:57,419 --> 00:31:53,630 readings down in the mid-deck it's 367 00:32:00,399 --> 00:31:57,429 automatic and you just view it and shoot 368 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:00,409 we have a data back under on the back of 369 00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:02,210 the camera that automatically prints the 370 00:32:07,899 --> 00:32:04,880 MIT on the photograph useful for Earth 371 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:07,909 Observation so we can locate the little 372 00:32:12,190 --> 00:32:10,610 picture that we've taken and of course 373 00:32:14,019 --> 00:32:12,200 my favorite the murder drive he just 374 00:32:18,190 --> 00:32:14,029 points shoot and it rewinds and you're 375 00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:18,200 ready for the next shot Davis next and 376 00:32:40,019 --> 00:32:37,409 we've got here is a 16 millimeter flex 377 00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:40,029 motion picture camera this is actually 378 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:41,679 an identical camera to camera that's 379 00:32:47,580 --> 00:32:43,090 used widely in the motion picture 380 00:32:49,289 --> 00:32:47,590 industry on board we use it to document 381 00:32:51,629 --> 00:32:49,299 almost all the activities that we do 382 00:32:53,970 --> 00:32:51,639 here in fact most of the films that we 383 00:32:55,409 --> 00:32:53,980 take when we go talking throughout the 384 00:33:00,450 --> 00:32:55,419 country about our space flights are 385 00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:00,460 taken with this camera here what we've 386 00:33:04,490 --> 00:33:01,990 got two different kinds of lenses here 387 00:33:08,639 --> 00:33:04,500 what we've got on here right now is the 388 00:33:09,990 --> 00:33:08,649 ten to 100 millimeter lens 389 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:10,000 the nice thing about this is that it's 390 00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:12,610 also got an auto feature to it that will 391 00:33:16,769 --> 00:33:14,289 take care of your f-stops for you it's 392 00:33:22,409 --> 00:33:16,779 all you have to do is point focus and 393 00:33:26,899 --> 00:33:22,419 then shoot the camera is battery-powered 394 00:33:30,810 --> 00:33:29,460 that's 16 millimeter magazines right 395 00:33:32,909 --> 00:33:30,820 here we carry about 12 of these onboard 396 00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:32,919 with us and it can be these magazines 397 00:33:36,450 --> 00:33:34,870 can be daylight loaded so the camera 398 00:33:51,090 --> 00:33:36,460 itself is just this portion here that 399 00:33:53,159 --> 00:33:51,100 you see and with that I think Bonnie 400 00:36:06,109 --> 00:33:53,169 Dunbar is going to talk about the CCTV 401 00:36:10,109 --> 00:36:09,420 that we want to use and when we want it 402 00:36:14,490 --> 00:36:10,119 to go 403 00:36:17,510 --> 00:36:14,500 we can also recently on several shuttle 404 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:17,520 flights we have been evaluating 405 00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:19,970 camcorders and we 406 00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:22,640 one here several different models we 407 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:25,070 found these are very useful for in cabin 408 00:36:32,620 --> 00:36:31,010 photography and for successful that we 409 00:36:34,870 --> 00:36:32,630 have at least two experiments on this 410 00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:34,880 flight that utilize off-the-shelf 411 00:36:40,540 --> 00:36:37,910 camcorders and macro lenses for 412 00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:40,550 documenting experimental results well 413 00:36:44,740 --> 00:36:42,320 this gives you a quick view of the video 414 00:36:45,970 --> 00:36:44,750 systems that we have onboard and that we 415 00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:45,980 definitely like to thank all the people 416 00:37:02,359 --> 00:36:49,040 who are doing this and now I'll get you 417 00:37:06,380 --> 00:37:04,370 well the last camera system we have on 418 00:37:10,759 --> 00:37:06,390 board is probably the the granddaddy of 419 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:10,769 all cameras and it should be coming into 420 00:37:18,670 --> 00:37:15,119 the view right here that's a very large 421 00:37:22,099 --> 00:37:18,680 format camera it's called IMAX it's 422 00:37:24,890 --> 00:37:22,109 actually a payload it flies on specific 423 00:37:26,449 --> 00:37:24,900 Shuttle missions and has documented the 424 00:37:30,499 --> 00:37:26,459 dream is alive is one of the movies it's 425 00:37:32,749 --> 00:37:30,509 shown in several theaters I think about 426 00:37:34,279 --> 00:37:32,759 100 theaters worldwide very special 427 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:34,289 theaters that's the only sort of format 428 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:36,930 the the format of each frame is 17 429 00:37:42,289 --> 00:37:40,650 millimeters high by 120 long and it 430 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:42,299 gives a very high fidelity picture as 431 00:37:49,039 --> 00:37:44,729 you can see it's a very large camera and 432 00:37:50,209 --> 00:37:49,049 it's not something you you use in a spur 433 00:37:51,949 --> 00:37:50,219 of the moment you pretty won't have to 434 00:37:53,870 --> 00:37:51,959 plan your shots ahead of time you can 435 00:37:56,209 --> 00:37:53,880 see I'm holding inside some handles 436 00:37:59,299 --> 00:37:56,219 which allow you to maneuver it like that 437 00:38:01,519 --> 00:37:59,309 and we also like to get the best shots 438 00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:01,529 that are most stabilized we have a rig 439 00:38:04,939 --> 00:38:02,689 where we can mount it at the window 440 00:38:20,290 --> 00:38:04,949 right over here and it takes a shot 441 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:22,240 so using it this way it's very 442 00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:24,650 stabilized and we get some very good 443 00:38:30,670 --> 00:38:27,950 pictures all as you can see we have a 444 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:30,680 wide variety of cameras on board a 445 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:32,690 couple things I think worth noting that 446 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:34,850 the marsh alluded to in the 70 447 00:38:39,370 --> 00:38:36,170 millimeter that we were running some 448 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:39,380 tests we've normally used only one or 449 00:38:43,210 --> 00:38:41,450 two types of film and on this flight we 450 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:43,220 have a great number of films that we're 451 00:38:47,350 --> 00:38:44,810 doing the side-by-side comparison 452 00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:47,360 hopefully to enhance the photo 453 00:38:52,510 --> 00:38:49,670 photography and I get better pictures in 454 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:52,520 the future once again these photographs 455 00:38:56,650 --> 00:38:54,290 are used for a wide variety of things 456 00:38:59,830 --> 00:38:56,660 for instance on the l def retreat to 457 00:39:02,440 --> 00:38:59,840 document the various experiments before 458 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:02,450 it even readers the in the shuttle and 459 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:04,490 gets baby bounce around a little bit 460 00:39:09,970 --> 00:39:07,970 when we land it Marsha took over seven 461 00:39:11,470 --> 00:39:09,980 hundred seven hundred photographs with 462 00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:11,480 the 70 millimeter to document each 463 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:13,910 individual tray on the ldap so a quite a 464 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:16,130 bit of technical data are collected on 465 00:39:24,150 --> 00:39:20,050 the photographs and the tapes and the 466 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:24,160 movies we take in addition to the other 467 00:39:29,350 --> 00:39:26,570 around the life on the shuttle as we're 468 00:39:31,210 --> 00:39:29,360 doing right now and with that hopefully 469 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:31,220 is lend a little insight into some of 470 00:39:34,030 --> 00:39:32,330 the equipment we have onboard the 471 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:34,040 shuttle and we'd like to turn the 472 00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:35,690 cameras back to the ground you also can 473 00:39:56,990 --> 00:39:39,110 control the TV cameras and they can look 474 00:40:04,380 --> 00:40:00,500 I'm filming this right now 475 00:40:06,450 --> 00:40:04,390 it really isn't quite and sometimes we 476 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:06,460 do get down to microchip but normally 477 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:09,610 we're about 1/100 to 1/100 thousands of 478 00:40:14,010 --> 00:40:11,770 the teeth and it turns out that can be a 479 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:14,020 very important variable not only in 480 00:40:20,070 --> 00:40:17,650 system processes NASA got involved in 481 00:40:21,930 --> 00:40:20,080 that research during the Gemini and 482 00:40:34,710 --> 00:40:21,940 Apollo days and trying to determine how 483 00:40:37,110 --> 00:40:34,720 they would I think everybody is 484 00:40:40,530 --> 00:40:37,120 demonstrated with the orange juice and 485 00:42:49,280 --> 00:40:40,540 I'll be no exception Lewis responds 486 00:42:55,410 --> 00:42:52,500 connected to what would be on the ground 487 00:42:59,580 --> 00:42:55,420 a vertical wall with the shuttle landing 488 00:43:06,460 --> 00:42:59,590 position the modulation respond directly 489 00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:08,859 Space Station and two other man's 490 00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:10,640 laboratory that we can learn how to 491 00:43:16,990 --> 00:43:15,710 isolate our exercise equipment we like I 492 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:17,000 think many people would like to think 493 00:43:20,410 --> 00:43:18,770 that we could one day automate all of 494 00:43:25,870 --> 00:43:20,420 this but I think what a very embryonic 495 00:43:28,359 --> 00:43:25,880 research stage and we've got a good view 496 00:43:50,340 --> 00:43:28,369 of which be running on the treadmill now 497 00:43:54,300 --> 00:43:52,410 Columbia Houston he's looking real 498 00:44:45,650 --> 00:43:54,310 strong but he's smiling so he needs to 499 00:44:45,660 --> 00:44:53,180 by 2 and I 3 500 00:44:53,190 --> 00:46:06,390 like anybody 501 00:46:12,990 --> 00:46:08,210 we're gonna looking at graphics 502 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:13,000 generated by systems at the Gold Room 503 00:46:18,830 --> 00:46:16,330 had Dryden Columbia's energy and 504 00:46:21,570 --> 00:46:18,840 navigation are all in good shape 505 00:46:23,940 --> 00:46:21,580 descending at a rate of three hundred 506 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:23,950 and fifty feet per second they're at 507 00:46:28,620 --> 00:46:25,930 about fifty three thousand feet they're 508 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:28,630 approaching the intersection with a 509 00:46:33,060 --> 00:46:30,850 heading alignment circle and we'll be 510 00:46:42,410 --> 00:46:33,070 making a left overhead turn to line up 511 00:46:48,990 --> 00:46:45,420 xenon lights illuminating the approach 512 00:46:50,610 --> 00:46:49,000 end of the runway at edwards Columbia 513 00:46:52,710 --> 00:46:50,620 we'll come into our field of view when 514 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:52,720 we have this camera up to the right of 515 00:46:58,220 --> 00:46:55,410 the frame and we'll roll out the left 516 00:47:01,490 --> 00:46:58,230 like a state vector transfers the BFS 517 00:47:10,140 --> 00:47:01,500 surface winds are two six zero at five 518 00:47:12,420 --> 00:47:10,150 altimeter three zero one one this view 519 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:12,430 again from an infrared camera at Edwards 520 00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:14,170 and we see the Columbia making the left 521 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:18,250 overhead turn turn now about ten and a 522 00:47:26,250 --> 00:47:21,850 half nautical miles out altitude 15,000 523 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:26,260 feet touchdown 524 00:47:31,830 --> 00:47:30,010 one minute 56 seconds flight dynamics 525 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:31,840 officer ed Gonzales reports they look 526 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:40,110 Columbia is now processing the microwave 527 00:47:50,580 --> 00:47:45,570 landing system now a minute 42 touchdown 528 00:48:01,109 --> 00:47:50,590 lusty our altitude 11,000 feet range 7.2 529 00:48:35,069 --> 00:48:03,339 mommy here we see our flights up 530 00:48:58,210 --> 00:48:38,390 range now five nautical miles altitude 531 00:48:58,220 --> 00:49:34,180 gear down 532 00:49:47,970 --> 00:49:37,940 and Claudia rolls out after a successful 533 00:49:54,660 --> 00:49:50,520 this view from an infrared camera again 534 00:50:21,680 --> 00:49:54,670 and of course those images in lighter 535 00:50:27,180 --> 00:50:24,180 Roger Columbia welcome home 536 00:50:28,890 --> 00:50:27,190 outstanding job he showed us the shuttle 537 00:50:30,990 --> 00:50:28,900 at its best deploying and retrieving 538 00:50:33,059 --> 00:50:31,000 satellites a great way to start the 539 00:52:41,740 --> 00:50:33,069 decade stand by for your post-landing 540 00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:44,240 all right you all go to close that back 541 00:52:55,490 --> 00:52:50,310 to keeping me this is Mission Control 542 00:53:28,660 --> 00:52:55,500 Houston the crew of STS the space 543 00:53:28,670 --> 00:53:36,460 see Bonnie Dunbar 544 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:38,190 am 545 00:54:00,480 --> 00:53:58,890 crew members now boarding the astro van 546 00:54:03,900 --> 00:54:00,490 and here in the Mission Control Center 547 00:54:08,190 --> 00:54:03,910 the MCC has officially handed over to 548 00:54:10,140 --> 00:54:08,200 the convoy team and the blacking 549 00:54:11,850 --> 00:54:10,150 ceremony about to begin here in Mission
