film will will be narrating as we go and 102 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:01,609 film will will be narrating as we go and 103 00:03:01,609 --> 00:03:05,599 film will will be narrating as we go and one thing I would like you to try to pay 104 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:05,609 one thing I would like you to try to pay 105 00:03:05,609 --> 00:03:09,190 one thing I would like you to try to pay attention to as the film unravels is the 106 00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:09,200 attention to as the film unravels is the 107 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,960 attention to as the film unravels is the rather continuous pictures of the earth 108 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:11,970 rather continuous pictures of the earth 109 00:03:11,970 --> 00:03:14,059 rather continuous pictures of the earth and the background and this is some of 110 00:03:14,059 --> 00:03:14,069 and the background and this is some of 111 00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:16,190 and the background and this is some of the beautiful sceneries that we were 112 00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:16,200 the beautiful sceneries that we were 113 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,589 the beautiful sceneries that we were seeing always in the background whenever 114 00:03:18,589 --> 00:03:18,599 seeing always in the background whenever 115 00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:21,319 seeing always in the background whenever you look outside and it's daylight some 116 00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:21,329 you look outside and it's daylight some 117 00:03:21,329 --> 00:03:22,970 you look outside and it's daylight some of the very beautiful pictures of the 118 00:03:22,970 --> 00:03:22,980 of the very beautiful pictures of the 119 00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:25,479 of the very beautiful pictures of the earth as the rest of the events unfold 120 00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:25,489 earth as the rest of the events unfold 121 00:03:25,489 --> 00:03:28,490 earth as the rest of the events unfold so why don't we go ahead and roll that 122 00:03:28,490 --> 00:03:28,500 so why don't we go ahead and roll that 123 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:36,319 so why don't we go ahead and roll that film this of course are a mission patch 124 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:36,329 film this of course are a mission patch 125 00:03:36,329 --> 00:03:38,869 film this of course are a mission patch and we like it a lot we think it told a 126 00:03:38,869 --> 00:03:38,879 and we like it a lot we think it told a 127 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:41,330 and we like it a lot we think it told a story all of its own very appropriate 128 00:03:41,330 --> 00:03:41,340 story all of its own very appropriate 129 00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:44,750 story all of its own very appropriate for the flight this is the morning of 130 00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:44,760 for the flight this is the morning of 131 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,569 for the flight this is the morning of launch going through all of our suit up 132 00:03:47,569 --> 00:03:47,579 launch going through all of our suit up 133 00:03:47,579 --> 00:03:50,839 launch going through all of our suit up drill and each one of us then go through 134 00:03:50,839 --> 00:03:50,849 drill and each one of us then go through 135 00:03:50,849 --> 00:03:53,059 drill and each one of us then go through a pressure check a suit integrity check 136 00:03:53,059 --> 00:03:53,069 a pressure check a suit integrity check 137 00:03:53,069 --> 00:03:55,460 a pressure check a suit integrity check and you see that in progress here for 138 00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:55,470 and you see that in progress here for 139 00:03:55,470 --> 00:04:01,540 and you see that in progress here for all five of this sort of in turn 140 00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:01,550 141 00:04:01,550 --> 00:04:03,760 shooting up has added a little time to 142 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:03,770 shooting up has added a little time to 143 00:04:03,770 --> 00:04:05,680 shooting up has added a little time to the mornings events so we split the crew 144 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:05,690 the mornings events so we split the crew 145 00:04:05,690 --> 00:04:07,960 the mornings events so we split the crew two and then three so that we can all 146 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:07,970 two and then three so that we can all 147 00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:09,400 two and then three so that we can all arrive at a common state of readiness 148 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:09,410 arrive at a common state of readiness 149 00:04:09,410 --> 00:04:11,970 arrive at a common state of readiness and walk out together as you see here 150 00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:11,980 and walk out together as you see here 151 00:04:11,980 --> 00:04:15,160 and walk out together as you see here the trip to the launch pads relatively 152 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,170 the trip to the launch pads relatively 153 00:04:15,170 --> 00:04:18,400 the trip to the launch pads relatively quick it was dark as you could all see 154 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:18,410 quick it was dark as you could all see 155 00:04:18,410 --> 00:04:20,770 quick it was dark as you could all see you get out there and I think you've 156 00:04:20,770 --> 00:04:20,780 you get out there and I think you've 157 00:04:20,780 --> 00:04:22,690 you get out there and I think you've heard it said by other crew members that 158 00:04:22,690 --> 00:04:22,700 heard it said by other crew members that 159 00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:23,800 heard it said by other crew members that you get out there and there's a little 160 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:23,810 you get out there and there's a little 161 00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:25,210 you get out there and there's a little bit different on launch morning because 162 00:04:25,210 --> 00:04:25,220 bit different on launch morning because 163 00:04:25,220 --> 00:04:27,310 bit different on launch morning because the vehicle seems to be alive this is 164 00:04:27,310 --> 00:04:27,320 the vehicle seems to be alive this is 165 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,810 the vehicle seems to be alive this is actually the main engine start which 166 00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:28,820 actually the main engine start which 167 00:04:28,820 --> 00:04:30,730 actually the main engine start which occurs roughly six to seven seconds 168 00:04:30,730 --> 00:04:30,740 occurs roughly six to seven seconds 169 00:04:30,740 --> 00:04:33,190 occurs roughly six to seven seconds before the liftoff and then the solid 170 00:04:33,190 --> 00:04:33,200 before the liftoff and then the solid 171 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,020 before the liftoff and then the solid rocket boosters ignite on board this 172 00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:35,030 rocket boosters ignite on board this 173 00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:36,280 rocket boosters ignite on board this time I think I was a little bit more 174 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:36,290 time I think I was a little bit more 175 00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:38,860 time I think I was a little bit more sensitized everything I actually felt 176 00:04:38,860 --> 00:04:38,870 sensitized everything I actually felt 177 00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:41,230 sensitized everything I actually felt the main engine ignition inside and you 178 00:04:41,230 --> 00:04:41,240 the main engine ignition inside and you 179 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,850 the main engine ignition inside and you could feel the twang of the vehicle and 180 00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:42,860 could feel the twang of the vehicle and 181 00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:45,040 could feel the twang of the vehicle and everybody feels the solid rocket 182 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,050 everybody feels the solid rocket 183 00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:47,230 everybody feels the solid rocket boosters ignite because you get lots 184 00:04:47,230 --> 00:04:47,240 boosters ignite because you get lots 185 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,450 boosters ignite because you get lots more noise and vibration and with the 186 00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:49,460 more noise and vibration and with the 187 00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:51,040 more noise and vibration and with the suits which none of us had worn before 188 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,050 suits which none of us had worn before 189 00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:52,900 suits which none of us had worn before you actually end up bouncing around 190 00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:52,910 you actually end up bouncing around 191 00:04:52,910 --> 00:04:54,790 you actually end up bouncing around inside this little environment of your 192 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:54,800 inside this little environment of your 193 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,830 inside this little environment of your own our asset was pretty much a normal 194 00:04:59,830 --> 00:04:59,840 own our asset was pretty much a normal 195 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,680 own our asset was pretty much a normal what we call direct insertion where we 196 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:02,690 what we call direct insertion where we 197 00:05:02,690 --> 00:05:05,620 what we call direct insertion where we actually did not do a owns or an orbital 198 00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:05,630 actually did not do a owns or an orbital 199 00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:07,270 actually did not do a owns or an orbital maneuvering system one burn we just 200 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:07,280 maneuvering system one burn we just 201 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,330 maneuvering system one burn we just allowed ourselves to glide on up to 202 00:05:10,330 --> 00:05:10,340 allowed ourselves to glide on up to 203 00:05:10,340 --> 00:05:14,680 allowed ourselves to glide on up to basically a 331 by 27 or forty seven 204 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:14,690 basically a 331 by 27 or forty seven 205 00:05:14,690 --> 00:05:16,150 basically a 331 by 27 or forty seven nautical mile orbit before we did our 206 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:16,160 nautical mile orbit before we did our 207 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,310 nautical mile orbit before we did our insertion burn the main engine cutoff 208 00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:18,320 insertion burn the main engine cutoff 209 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,290 insertion burn the main engine cutoff velocity was a little bit faster than we 210 00:05:20,290 --> 00:05:20,300 velocity was a little bit faster than we 211 00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:22,990 velocity was a little bit faster than we normally see roughly 26,000 feet per 212 00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:23,000 normally see roughly 26,000 feet per 213 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,450 normally see roughly 26,000 feet per second and the most impressive thing to 214 00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:25,460 second and the most impressive thing to 215 00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:26,890 second and the most impressive thing to me was the way we could not see the 216 00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:26,900 me was the way we could not see the 217 00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:32,350 me was the way we could not see the earth after mikko as you all know our 218 00:05:32,350 --> 00:05:32,360 earth after mikko as you all know our 219 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,450 earth after mikko as you all know our altitude was unique for the shuttle 220 00:05:34,450 --> 00:05:34,460 altitude was unique for the shuttle 221 00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:37,960 altitude was unique for the shuttle program we went to 330 miles circular 222 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:37,970 program we went to 330 miles circular 223 00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:40,510 program we went to 330 miles circular orbit it was it was truly noticeable and 224 00:05:40,510 --> 00:05:40,520 orbit it was it was truly noticeable and 225 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,280 orbit it was it was truly noticeable and impressive from onboard and we hope that 226 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:42,290 impressive from onboard and we hope that 227 00:05:42,290 --> 00:05:43,659 impressive from onboard and we hope that we were able to share some of that with 228 00:05:43,659 --> 00:05:43,669 we were able to share some of that with 229 00:05:43,669 --> 00:05:46,270 we were able to share some of that with you on the downlink television first 230 00:05:46,270 --> 00:05:46,280 you on the downlink television first 231 00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,370 you on the downlink television first thing every crew does is get the orbiter 232 00:05:48,370 --> 00:05:48,380 thing every crew does is get the orbiter 233 00:05:48,380 --> 00:05:50,380 thing every crew does is get the orbiter configured for being on orbit and if I 234 00:05:50,380 --> 00:05:50,390 configured for being on orbit and if I 235 00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:52,690 configured for being on orbit and if I think particular concern to our crew was 236 00:05:52,690 --> 00:05:52,700 think particular concern to our crew was 237 00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:55,480 think particular concern to our crew was the number of activities that we had to 238 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:55,490 the number of activities that we had to 239 00:05:55,490 --> 00:05:58,480 the number of activities that we had to accomplish on flight day one including 240 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:58,490 accomplish on flight day one including 241 00:05:58,490 --> 00:06:00,610 accomplish on flight day one including checking out the RMS which you see us 242 00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:00,620 checking out the RMS which you see us 243 00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:03,070 checking out the RMS which you see us doing here we do that early in the 244 00:06:03,070 --> 00:06:03,080 doing here we do that early in the 245 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,990 doing here we do that early in the flight of course because if there were 246 00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:05,000 flight of course because if there were 247 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,030 flight of course because if there were failures with the arm we would have over 248 00:06:07,030 --> 00:06:07,040 failures with the arm we would have over 249 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,730 failures with the arm we would have over night and the next morning to try to 250 00:06:09,730 --> 00:06:09,740 night and the next morning to try to 251 00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:11,110 night and the next morning to try to figure out what the impact would 252 00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:11,120 figure out what the impact would 253 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,939 figure out what the impact would on the Hubble Space Telescope deploy 254 00:06:12,939 --> 00:06:12,949 on the Hubble Space Telescope deploy 255 00:06:12,949 --> 00:06:15,370 on the Hubble Space Telescope deploy operations in our case the arm worked 256 00:06:15,370 --> 00:06:15,380 operations in our case the arm worked 257 00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:17,409 operations in our case the arm worked beautifully and there were no problems 258 00:06:17,409 --> 00:06:17,419 beautifully and there were no problems 259 00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:19,750 beautifully and there were no problems at all with rms check out and we got 260 00:06:19,750 --> 00:06:19,760 at all with rms check out and we got 261 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,680 at all with rms check out and we got that done on time on flight day one and 262 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:22,690 that done on time on flight day one and 263 00:06:22,690 --> 00:06:25,180 that done on time on flight day one and the other major activity that was going 264 00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:25,190 the other major activity that was going 265 00:06:25,190 --> 00:06:26,920 the other major activity that was going on at that time was doing all the 266 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:26,930 on at that time was doing all the 267 00:06:26,930 --> 00:06:28,990 on at that time was doing all the preparatory work for the potential 268 00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:29,000 preparatory work for the potential 269 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,409 preparatory work for the potential spacewalk the next day what you're 270 00:06:32,409 --> 00:06:32,419 spacewalk the next day what you're 271 00:06:32,419 --> 00:06:35,439 spacewalk the next day what you're seeing here is the power erratic tool 272 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:35,449 seeing here is the power erratic tool 273 00:06:35,449 --> 00:06:38,050 seeing here is the power erratic tool which is a device produced by the 274 00:06:38,050 --> 00:06:38,060 which is a device produced by the 275 00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:40,750 which is a device produced by the Goddard Space Flight Center adapted 276 00:06:40,750 --> 00:06:40,760 Goddard Space Flight Center adapted 277 00:06:40,760 -->

configuration of tools of going into the 304 00:07:17,950 --> 00:07:17,960 configuration of tools of going into the 305 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,920 configuration of tools of going into the airlock in preparation for the EBA that 306 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:20,930 airlock in preparation for the EBA that 307 00:07:20,930 --> 00:07:23,800 airlock in preparation for the EBA that almost was in addition to configuring 308 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:23,810 almost was in addition to configuring 309 00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:25,930 almost was in addition to configuring the airlock with about a dozen tools 310 00:07:25,930 --> 00:07:25,940 the airlock with about a dozen tools 311 00:07:25,940 --> 00:07:27,879 the airlock with about a dozen tools most of which were unique to the HST 312 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:27,889 most of which were unique to the HST 313 00:07:27,889 --> 00:07:31,330 most of which were unique to the HST possible deployment asks we had to 314 00:07:31,330 --> 00:07:31,340 possible deployment asks we had to 315 00:07:31,340 --> 00:07:33,100 possible deployment asks we had to conduct a pre breathe through deuce the 316 00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:33,110 conduct a pre breathe through deuce the 317 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:35,560 conduct a pre breathe through deuce the cabin pressure and check out all three 318 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:35,570 cabin pressure and check out all three 319 00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:37,420 cabin pressure and check out all three of the spacesuits we had we had an upper 320 00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:37,430 of the spacesuits we had we had an upper 321 00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:38,920 of the spacesuits we had we had an upper torso assembly which includes all the 322 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:38,930 torso assembly which includes all the 323 00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:40,990 torso assembly which includes all the life-support systems and computer 324 00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:41,000 life-support systems and computer 325 00:07:41,000 -->

systems on the suit as a spare unit in the event that either of 328 00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:44,870 spare unit in the event that either of 329 00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:46,600 spare unit in the event that either of the primary suits for brucer I had 330 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:46,610 the primary suits for brucer I had 331 00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:49,200 the primary suits for brucer I had developed a problem all in all it took 332 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:49,210 developed a problem all in all it took 333 00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:52,570 developed a problem all in all it took Bruce and I the lion's share of our time 334 00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:52,580 Bruce and I the lion's share of our time 335 00:07:52,580 --> 00:07:54,129 Bruce and I the lion's share of our time on flight day one and a goodly measure 336 00:07:54,129 --> 00:07:54,139 on flight day one and a goodly measure 337 00:07:54,139 --> 00:07:56,050 on flight day one and a goodly measure of Charlie's time Charlie was always the 338 00:07:56,050 --> 00:07:56,060 of Charlie's time Charlie was always the 339 00:07:56,060 --> 00:07:57,640 of Charlie's time Charlie was always the critical resource being split through 340 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:57,650 critical resource being split through 341 00:07:57,650 --> 00:08:02,379 critical resource being split through the RMS operations and the EBA early in 342 00:08:02,379 --> 00:08:02,389 the RMS operations and the EBA early in 343 00:08:02,389 --> 00:08:04,270 the RMS operations and the EBA early in the morning on flight day 2 which was 344 00:08:04,270 --> 00:08:04,280 the morning on flight day 2 which was 345 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,760 the morning on flight day 2 which was actually less than 24 hours after launch 346 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:06,770 actually less than 24 hours after launch 347 00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:10,390 actually less than 24 hours after launch we were given a go for HST deploy 348 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:10,400 we were given a go for HST deploy 349 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,659 we were given a go for HST deploy operations and that meant that I was go 350 00:08:13,659 --> 00:08:13,669 operations and that meant that I was go 351 00:08:13,669 --> 00:08:16,210 operations and that meant that I was go to uncrate all the RMS and move it over 352 00:08:16,210 --> 00:08:16,220 to uncrate all the RMS and move it over 353 00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:18,189 to uncrate all the RMS and move it over and grapple the space telescope in the 354 00:08:18,189 --> 00:08:18,199 and grapple the space telescope in the 355 00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:20,680 and grapple the space telescope in the bay which you see here we're trying to 356 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:20,690 bay which you see here we're trying to 357 00:08:20,690 --> 00:08:23,649 bay which you see here we're trying to convey a sense I think of how big the 358 00:08:23,649 --> 00:08:23,659 convey a sense I think of how big the 359 00:08:23,659 --> 00:08:24,890 convey a sense I think of how big the space telescope is 360 00:08:24,890 --> 00:08:24,900 space telescope is 361 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:27,920 space telescope is and the fact that the aperture door is 362 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:27,930 and the fact that the aperture door is 363 00:08:27,930 --> 00:08:29,629 and the fact that the aperture door is bright and shiny and it sits right in 364 00:08:29,629 --> 00:08:29,639 bright and shiny and it sits right in 365 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:32,450 bright and shiny and it sits right in front of the windows and all of that as 366 00:08:32,450 --> 00:08:32,460 front of the windows and all of that as 367 00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:35,029 front of the windows and all of that as I had described in the pre-flight press 368 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:35,039 I had described in the pre-flight press 369 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:36,680 I had described in the pre-flight press conference was of some concern to me 370 00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:36,690 conference was of some concern to me 371 00:08:36,690 --> 00:08:40,100 conference was of some concern to me being able to see to do the task it was 372 00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:40,110 being able to see to do the task it was 373 00:08:40,110 --> 00:08:42,079 being able to see to do the task it was about as difficult as as we had expected 374 00:08:42,079 --> 00:08:42,089 about as difficult as as we had expected 375 00:08:42,089 --> 00:08:44,780 about as difficult as as we had expected and and the views as you can see here 376 00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:44,790 and and the views as you can see here 377 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:47,450 and and the views as you can see here out the window certainly degrade rapidly 378 00:08:47,450 --> 00:08:47,460 out the window certainly degrade rapidly 379 00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:49,040 out the window certainly degrade rapidly as the telescope begins to come out of 380 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,050 as the telescope begins to come out of 381 00:08:49,050 --> 00:08:51,620 as the telescope begins to come out of the bay Charlie was very helpful at 382 00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:51,630 the bay Charlie was very helpful at 383 00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:54,500 the bay Charlie was very helpful at talking me through the deploy operations 384 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:54,510 talking me through the deploy operations 385 00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:56,240 talking me through the deploy operations with the arm particularly as I mentioned 386 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,250 with the arm particularly as I mentioned 387 00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:58,730 with the arm particularly as I mentioned down low in the Bay where the clearances 388 00:08:58,730 --> 00:08:58,740 down low in the Bay where the clearances 389 00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:00,110 down low in the Bay where the clearances are fairly small and you're trying to go 390 00:09:00,110 --> 00:09:00,120 are fairly small and you're trying to go 391 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,380 are fairly small and you're trying to go go slowly if you look carefully through 392 00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:03,390 go slowly if you look carefully through 393 00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:05,150 go slowly if you look carefully through the window I think you'll be able to see 394 00:09:05,150 --> 00:09:05,160 the window I think you'll be able to see 395 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,070 the window I think you'll be able to see the rate at which we were trying to move 396 00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:07,080 the rate at which we were trying to move 397 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,460 the rate at which we were trying to move the HST up out of the bay slow is is 398 00:09:10,460 --> 00:09:10,470 the HST up out of the bay slow is is 399 00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:12,590 the HST up out of the bay slow is is good when you have two very large 400 00:09:12,590 --> 00:09:12,600 good when you have two very large 401 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,710 good when you have two very large vehicles very close together and as you 402 00:09:15,710 --> 00:09:15,720 vehicles very close together and as you 403 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,150 vehicles very close together and as you know it took a little bit longer on 404 00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:17,160 know it took a little bit longer on 405 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,800 know it took a little bit longer on orbit to do that task then we had 406 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:20,810 orbit to do that task then we had 407 00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:23,360 orbit to do that task then we had simulated on the ground and I think that 408 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,370 simulated on the ground and I think that 409 00:09:23,370 --> 00:09:25,090 simulated on the ground and I think that that that's probably to be expected 410 00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:25,100 that that's probably to be expected 411 00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:29,720 that that's probably to be expected given the the fact that we weren't 412 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:29,730 given the the fact that we weren't 413 00:09:29,730 --> 00:09:31,310 given the the fact that we weren't really the pacing item in the deploy 414 00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:31,320 really the pacing item in the deploy 415 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,860 really the pacing item in the deploy sequence anyway and we wanted to make 416 00:09:33,860 --> 00:09:33,870 sequence anyway and we wanted to make 417 00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:36,820 sequence anyway and we wanted to make sure that the job was done properly 418 00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:36,830 sure that the job was done properly 419 00:09:36,830 --> 00:09:38,660 sure that the job was done properly there are a number of coordinated 420 00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:38,670 there are a number of coordinated 421 00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:40,100 there are a number of coordinated activities that actually need to take 422 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:40,110 activities that actually need to take 423 00:09:40,110 --> 00:09:42,560 activities that actually need to take place it isn't just Charlie and me 424 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:42,570 place it isn't just Charlie and me 425 00:09:42,570 --> 00:09:44,720 place it isn't just Charlie and me operating the arm but Lauren has to 426 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:44,730 operating the arm but Lauren has to 427 00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:47,000 operating the arm but Lauren has to position the vehicle the orbiter vehicle 428 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,010 position the vehicle the orbiter vehicle 429 00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:49,100 position the vehicle the orbiter vehicle in the proper attitude so that the Sun 430 00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:49,110 in the proper attitude so that the Sun 431 00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:50,780 in the proper attitude so that the Sun shines on the proper part of the Space 432 00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:50,790 shines on the proper part of the Space 433 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:52,940 shines on the proper part of the Space Telescope and and he had to make a 434 00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:52,950 Telescope and and he had to make a 435 00:09:52,950 --> 00:09:55,250 Telescope and and he had to make a couple of different maneuvers in 436 00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:55,260 couple of different maneuvers in 437 00:09:55,260 --> 00:09:57,590 couple of different maneuvers in addition to manually holding the the 438 00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:57,600 addition to manually holding the the 439 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,519 addition to manually holding the the orbiters attitude near where it wanted 440 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:01,529 orbiters attitude near where it wanted 441 00:10:01,529 --> 00:10:03,650 orbiters attitude near where it wanted to be while the the arm and the 442 00:10:03,650 --> 00:10:03,660 to be while the the arm and the 443 00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:05,120 to be while the the arm and the telescope or emotion we had a number of 444 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:05,130 telescope or emotion we had a number of 445 00:10:05,130 --> 00:10:07,550 telescope or emotion we had a number of constraints governing how the orbiter 446 00:10:07,550 --> 00:10:07,560 constraints governing how the orbiter 447 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:10,519 constraints governing how the orbiter could move when the telescope was 448 00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:10,529 could move when the telescope was 449 00:10:10,529 --> 00:10:12,680 could move when the telescope was unbirth and when it was in motion and he 450 00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:12,690 unbirth and when it was in motion and he 451 00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:14,410 unbirth and when it was in motion and he had to manage all of that very carefully 452 00:10:14,410 --> 00:10:14,420 had to manage all of that very carefully 453 00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:17,329 had to manage all of that very carefully we did find that this manual control of 454 00:10:17,329 --> 00:10:17,339 we did find that this manual control of 455 00:10:17,339 --> 00:10:20,780 we did find that this manual control of the orbiter using certain app settings 456 00:10:20,780 --> 00:10:20,790 the orbiter using certain app settings 457 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:23,690 the orbiter using certain app settings or digital auto pilot work very well and 458 00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:23,700 or digital auto pilot work very well and 459 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:27,620 or digital auto pilot work very well and have recommended that that be highly 460 00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:27,630 have recommended that that be highly 461 00:10:27,630 --> 00:10:30,230 have recommended that that be highly considered as a mode of orbiter control 462 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:30,240 considered as a mode of orbiter control 463 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,110 considered as a mode of orbiter control and large payloads like this after Steve 464 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:33,120 and large payloads like this after Steve 465 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,769 and large payloads like this after Steve lifted 466 00:10:33,769 --> 00:10:33,779 lifted 467 00:10:33,779 --> 00:10:36,679 lifted the telescope clear of the bay he went 468 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:36,689 the telescope clear of the bay he went 469 00:10:36,689 --> 00:10:39,319 the telescope clear of the bay he went through a number of maneuvers the end 470 00:10:39,319 --> 00:10:39,329 through a number of maneuvers the end 471 00:10:39,329 --> 00:10:41,269 through a number of maneuvers the end result of which was getting the the 472 00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:41,279 result of which was getting the the 473 00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:43,150 result of which was getting the the bottom or the base end of the telescope 474 00:10:43,150 --> 00:10:43,160 bottom or the base end of the telescope 475 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,639 bottom or the base end of the telescope pointing forward and after Lauren 476 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:46,649 pointing forward and after Lauren 477 00:10:46,649 --> 00:10:48,829 pointing forward and after Lauren oriented the orbiter these fish was 478 00:10:48,829 --> 00:10:48,839 oriented the orbiter these fish was 479 00:10:48,839 --> 00:10:50,989 oriented the orbiter these fish was pointing toward the Sun the solar array 480 00:10:50,989 --> 00:10:50,999 pointing toward the Sun the solar array 481 00:10:50,999 --> 00:10:54,199 pointing toward the Sun the solar array booms were folded up 90 degrees and as 482 00:10:54,199 --> 00:10:54,209 booms were folded up 90 degrees and as 483 00:10:54,209 --> 00:10:57,019 booms were folded up 90 degrees and as you see here the solar array panels were 484 00:10:57,019 --> 00:10:57,029 you see here the solar array panels were 485 00:10:57,029 --> 00:10:59,239 you see here the solar array panels were enrolled you have to watch very closely 486 00:10:59,239 --> 00:10:59,249 enrolled you have to watch very closely 487 00:10:59,249 --> 00:11:01,879 enrolled you have to watch very closely because this is a rather slow process 488 00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:01,889 because this is a rather slow process 489 00:11:01,889 --> 00:11:05,239 because this is a rather slow process taking on the order of six minutes to 490 00:11:05,239 --> 00:11:05,249 taking on the order of six minutes to 491 00:11:05,249 --> 00:11:08,720 taking on the order of six minutes to fully unreal these sets of solar array 492 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:08,730 fully unreal these sets of solar array 493 00:11:08,730 --> 00:11:11,780 fully unreal these sets of solar array panels there are five separate solar 494 00:11:11,780 --> 00:11:11,790 panels there are five separate solar 495

you see here the plus v2 solar array deployed very nicely 502 00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:25,069 plus v2 solar array deployed very nicely 503 00:11:25,069 --> 00:11:28,730 plus v2 solar array deployed very nicely as I'm sure you're aware later on there 504 00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:28,740 as I'm sure you're aware later on there 505 00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:30,619 as I'm sure you're aware later on there were some difficulties deploying the 506 00:11:30,619 --> 00:11:30,629 were some difficulties deploying the 507 00:11:30,629 --> 00:11:33,650 were some difficulties deploying the minus v2 array which led Kathy and 508 00:11:33,650 --> 00:11:33,660 minus v2 array which led Kathy and 509 00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,869 minus v2 array which led Kathy and myself to finish the sitting up process 510 00:11:35,869 --> 00:11:35,879 myself to finish the sitting up process 511 00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,610 myself to finish the sitting up process and ultimately to get into the airlock 512 00:11:39,610 --> 00:11:39,620 and ultimately to get into the airlock 513 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:42,259 and ultimately to get into the airlock depressurized the airlock 25 pounds per 514 00:11:42,259 --> 00:11:42,269 depressurized the airlock 25 pounds per 515 00:11:42,269 --> 00:11:43,910 depressurized the airlock 25 pounds per square inch or approximately half the 516 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:43,920 square inch or approximately half the 517 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,309 square inch or approximately half the cabin pressure and to stand by just 518 00:11:46,309 --> 00:11:46,319 cabin pressure and to stand by just 519 00:11:46,319 --> 00:11:48,499 cabin pressure and to stand by just inches away from the hatch and from the 520 00:11:48,499 --> 00:11:48,509 inches away from the hatch and from the 521 00:11:48,509 --> 00:11:50,449 inches away from the hatch and from the depressed valve for about two hours 522 00:11:50,449 --> 00:11:50,459 depressed valve for about two hours 523 00:11:50,459 --> 00:11:54,980 depressed valve for about two hours until telescope separation and released 524 00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:54,990 until telescope separation and released 525 00:11:54,990 --> 00:11:57,079 until telescope separation and released from the orbiter was complete and until 526 00:11:57,079 --> 00:11:57,089 from the orbiter was complete and until 527 00:11:57,089 --> 00:11:59,420 from the orbiter was complete and until Steve had completed birthing the RMS 528 00:11:59,420 --> 00:11:59,430 Steve had completed birthing the RMS 529 00:11:59,430 --> 00:12:01,730 Steve had completed birthing the RMS here you see the plus v2 array fully 530 00:12:01,730 --> 00:12:01,740 here you see the plus v2 array fully 531 00:12:01,740 --> 00:12:04,879 here you see the plus v2 array fully deployed these arrays are a contribution 532 00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:04,889 deployed these arrays are a contribution 533 00:12:04,889 --> 00:12:07,189 deployed these arrays are a contribution from the European Space Agency along 534 00:12:07,189 --> 00:12:07,199 from the European Space Agency along 535 00:12:07,199 --> 00:12:09,019 from the European Space Agency along with the faint object camera and 536 00:12:09,019 --> 00:12:09,029 with the faint object camera and 537 00:12:09,029 --> 00:12:10,999 with the faint object camera and represent fifteen to twenty percent of 538 00:12:10,999 --> 00:12:11,009 represent fifteen to twenty percent of 539 00:12:11,009 --> 00:12:15,379 represent fifteen to twenty percent of their participation in the program we at 540 00:12:15,379 --> 00:12:15,389 their participation in the program we at 541 00:12:15,389 --> 00:12:17,540 their participation in the program we at the solar array that had been giving us 542 00:12:17,540 --> 00:12:17,550 the solar array that had been giving us 543 00:12:17,550 --> 00:12:20,059 the solar array that had been giving us trouble was finally unfurled properly we 544 00:12:20,059 --> 00:12:20,069 trouble was finally unfurled properly we 545 00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:21,290 trouble was finally unfurled properly we actually didn't have very much time 546 00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:21,300 actually didn't have very much time 547 00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:24,110 actually didn't have very much time until the release opportunity as I 548 00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:24,120 until the release opportunity as I 549 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,150 until the release opportunity as I recall it was around 30 minutes or so so 550 00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:26,160 recall it was around 30 minutes or so so 551 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,340 recall it was around 30 minutes or so so through a number of activities that 552 00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:27,350 through a number of activities that 553 00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:30,439 through a number of activities that Lauren and I had to do with Charlie's 554 00:12:30,439 --> 00:12:30,449 Lauren and I had to do with Charlie's 555 00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:31,730 Lauren and I had to do with Charlie's helped and Charlie was kind of going 556 00:12:31,730 --> 00:12:31,740 helped and Charlie was kind of going 557 00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:33,650 helped and Charlie was kind of going back and forth between the deck and the 558 00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:33,660 back and forth between the deck and the 559 00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:36,739 back and forth between the deck and the mid-deck throughout the day we noticed 560 00:12:36,739 --> 00:12:36,749 mid-deck throughout the day we noticed 561 00:12:36,749 --> 00:12:39,799 mid-deck throughout the day we noticed that one of the surprises was the amount 562 00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:39,809 that one of the surprises was the amount 563 00:12:39,809 --> 00:12:41,720 that one of the surprises was the amount of clearance between the arm and the 564 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:41,730 of clearance between the arm and the 565 00:12:41,730 --> 00:12:44,780 of clearance between the arm and the solar array at separation it was a 566 00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:44,790 solar array at separation it was a 567 00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:45,660 solar array at separation it was a little bit less 568 00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:45,670 little bit less 569 00:12:45,670 --> 00:12:47,400 little bit less we had been led to expect from the 570 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:47,410 we had been led to expect from the 571 00:12:47,410 --> 00:12:49,110 we had been led to expect from the simulations that we have performed on 572 00:12:49,110 --> 00:12:49,120 simulations that we have performed on 573 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,060 simulations that we have performed on the ground however the control of the 574 00:12:51,060 --> 00:12:51,070 the ground however the control of the 575 00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:53,160 the ground however the control of the arm was very precise and the control of 576 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:53,170 arm was very precise and the control of 577 00:12:53,170 --> 00:12:55,380 arm was very precise and the control of the orbiter at separation was very 578 00:12:55,380 --> 00:12:55,390 the orbiter at separation was very 579 00:12:55,390 --> 00:12:57,960 the orbiter at separation was very precise and we had no concerns about 580 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:57,970 precise and we had no concerns about 581 00:12:57,970 --> 00:13:01,020 precise and we had no concerns about about contacting the arm with the solar 582 00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:01,030 about contacting the arm with the solar 583 00:13:01,030 --> 00:13:03,630 about contacting the arm with the solar ray but it was something that Lord and I 584 00:13:03,630 --> 00:13:03,640 ray but it was something that Lord and I 585 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,970 ray but it was something that Lord and I kept a very close eye on what you're 586 00:13:05,970 --> 00:13:05,980 kept a very close eye on what you're 587 00:13:05,980 --> 00:13:07,560 kept a very close eye on what you're saying in this scene is actually the 588 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:07,570 saying in this scene is actually the 589 00:13:07,570 --> 00:13:09,750 saying in this scene is actually the Space Telescope after release as we are 590 00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:09,760 Space Telescope after release as we are 591 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,660 Space Telescope after release as we are flying over the western coast of Peru 592 00:13:11,660 --> 00:13:11,670 flying over the western coast of Peru 593 00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:13,830 flying over the western coast of Peru actually crossing the Andes Mountains 594 00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:13,840 actually crossing the Andes Mountains 595 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,240 actually crossing the Andes Mountains and that to me was pretty spectacular 596 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:15,250 and that to me was pretty spectacular 597 00:13:15,250 --> 00:13:19,290 and that to me was pretty spectacular from a visual sense some of the 598 00:13:19,290 --> 00:13:19,300 from a visual sense some of the 599 00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:20,520 from a visual sense some of the information that we learned on this 600 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:20,530 information that we learned on this 601 00:13:20,530 --> 00:13:23,310 information that we learned on this flight only hope to pass on to whichever 602 00:13:23,310 --> 00:13:23,320 flight only hope to pass on to whichever 603 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,780 flight only hope to pass on to whichever crew is selected to do maintenance 604 00:13:24,780 --> 00:13:24,790 crew is selected to do maintenance 605 00:13:24,790 --> 00:13:27,600 crew is selected to do maintenance repair missions on the HST it's the fact 606 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:27,610 repair missions on the HST it's the fact 607 00:13:27,610 --> 00:13:29,970 repair missions on the HST it's the fact that the HST is highly visible I guess 608 00:13:29,970 --> 00:13:29,980 that the HST is highly visible I guess 609 00:13:29,980 --> 00:13:31,950 that the HST is highly visible I guess you would expect that just because of 610 00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:31,960 you would expect that just because of 611 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,290 you would expect that just because of the way it's it's configured with 612 00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:34,300 the way it's it's configured with 613 00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:37,260 the way it's it's configured with reflecting thermal blankets and the big 614 00:13:37,260 --> 00:13:37,270 reflecting thermal blankets and the big 615 00:13:37,270 --> 00:13:39,690 reflecting thermal blankets and the big solar arrays also providing a lot of 616 00:13:39,690 --> 00:13:39,700 solar arrays also providing a lot of 617 00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,060 solar arrays also providing a lot of reflecting surface area we can see it 618 00:13:42,060 --> 00:13:42,070 reflecting surface area we can see it 619 00:13:42,070 --> 00:13:43,950 reflecting surface area we can see it for a long time of course post-release 620 00:13:43,950 --> 00:13:43,960 for a long time of course post-release 621 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,870 for a long time of course post-release in addition we found throughout the 622 00:13:45,870 --> 00:13:45,880 in addition we found throughout the 623 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,780 in addition we found throughout the flight every terminator we would be able 624 00:13:48,780 --> 00:13:48,790 flight every terminator we would be able 625 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:51,180 flight every terminator we would be able to see the HST reflecting sunlight even 626 00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:51,190 to see the HST reflecting sunlight even 627 00:13:51,190 --> 00:13:53,810 to see the HST reflecting sunlight even at a distance of greater than 40 miles 628 00:13:53,810 --> 00:13:53,820 at a distance of greater than 40 miles 629 00:13:53,820 --> 00:13:58,350 at a distance of greater than 40 miles that was a little bit of a surprise of 630 00:13:58,350 --> 00:13:58,360 that was a little bit of a surprise of 631 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,690 that was a little bit of a surprise of course as Bruce and Kathy can describe 632 00:14:00,690 --> 00:14:00,700 course as Bruce and Kathy can describe 633 00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:04,200 course as Bruce and Kathy can describe this is not the end of anything but the 634 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,210 this is not the end of anything but the 635 00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:05,400 this is not the end of anything but the beginning of the lifetime of the 636 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:05,410 beginning of the lifetime of the 637 00:14:05,410 --> 00:14:07,590 beginning of the lifetime of the telescope and and a lot of the work that 638 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:07,600 telescope and and a lot of the work that 639 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,080 telescope and and a lot of the work that they did on this flight will will come 640 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,090 they did on this flight will will come 641 00:14:10,090 --> 00:14:11,640 they did on this flight will will come back to have produced results years from 642 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:11,650 back to have produced results years from 643 00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:14,190 back to have produced results years from now as the maintenance missions are our 644 00:14:14,190 --> 00:14:14,200 now as the maintenance missions are our 645 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,870 now as the maintenance missions are our lives to service the telescope and keep 646 00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:15,880 lives to service the telescope and keep 647 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,430 lives to service the telescope and keep it an operational observatory for years 648 00:14:17,430 --> 00:14:17,440 it an operational observatory for years 649 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:23,040 it an operational observatory for years to come Stevens mentioned it is designed 650 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,050 to come Stevens mentioned it is designed 651 00:14:23,050 -->

00:14:42,190 fails and also to provide the 665 00:14:42,190 --> 00:14:44,310 fails and also to provide the opportunity for exchanging scientific 666 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:44,320 opportunity for exchanging scientific 667 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,280 opportunity for exchanging scientific instruments as the data which comes back 668 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,290 instruments as the data which comes back 669 00:14:47,290 --> 00:14:48,960 instruments as the data which comes back from the current set of five instruments 670 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:48,970 from the current set of five instruments 671 00:14:48,970 --> 00:14:52,800 from the current set of five instruments is analyzed and perhaps reveals new 672 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:52,810 is analyzed and perhaps reveals new 673 00:14:52,810 --> 00:14:56,250 is analyzed and perhaps reveals new pathways to explore I talked with the 674 00:14:56,250 --> 00:14:56,260 pathways to explore I talked with the 675 00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:58,860 pathways to explore I talked with the folks in the Space Telescope operation 676 00:14:58,860 --> 00:14:58,870 folks in the Space Telescope operation 677 00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:59,410

this close 703 00:15:32,870 --> 00:15:36,490 alabama in birmingham and in this close up shot chamber of c3 you can see some 704 00:15:36,490 --> 00:15:36,500 up shot chamber of c3 you can see some 705 00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,940 up shot chamber of c3 you can see some crystals of carboxyl ester hydrolysis 706 00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:39,950 crystals of carboxyl ester hydrolysis 707 00:15:39,950 --> 00:15:42,700 crystals of carboxyl ester hydrolysis which was one of the compounds the idea 708 00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:42,710 which was one of the compounds the idea 709 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:46,090 which was one of the compounds the idea here is to create large defect free 710 00:15:46,090 --> 00:15:46,100 here is to create large defect free 711 00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:48,640 here is to create large defect free crystals in zero gravity that can be 712 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:48,650 crystals in zero gravity that can be 713 00:15:48,650 --> 00:15:52,180 crystals in zero gravity that can be used under x-ray analysis to reveal the 714 00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:52,190 used under x-ray analysis to reveal the 715 00:15:52,190 --> 00:15:54,760 used under x-ray analysis to reveal the exact structure of the protein and once 716 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:54,770 exact structure of the protein and once 717 00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:57,610 exact structure of the protein and once the structure has been revealed you can 718 00:15:57,610 --> 00:15:57,620 the structure has been revealed you can 719 00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:01,260 the structure has been revealed you can tailor anybody's or vaccines or other 720 00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:01,270 tailor anybody's or vaccines or other 721 00:16:01,270 --> 00:16:04,260 tailor anybody's or vaccines or other biological agents and then produce those 722 00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:04,270 biological agents and then produce those 723 00:16:04,270 --> 00:16:07,510 biological agents and then produce those to yield the desired effect unlike 724 00:16:07,510 --> 00:16:07,520 to yield the desired effect unlike 725 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,700 to yield the desired effect unlike zero-g electrophoresis where we were 726 00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:09,710 zero-g electrophoresis where we were 727 00:16:09,710 --> 00:16:11,710 zero-g electrophoresis where we were attempting to manufacturers commercial 728 00:16:11,710 --> 00:16:11,720 attempting to manufacturers commercial 729 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,650 attempting to manufacturers commercial quantities of substances this is just 730 00:16:14,650 --> 00:16:14,660 quantities of substances this is just 731 00:16:14,660 --> 00:16:16,750 quantities of substances this is just designed to discover the structure and 732 00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:16,760 designed to discover the structure and 733 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,960 designed to discover the structure and do the rest work on the ground this is 734 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:19,970 do the rest work on the ground this is 735 00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:21,640 do the rest work on the ground this is one of the other secondary experiments 736 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:21,650 one of the other secondary experiments 737 00:16:21,650 -->

we had it was conceived of by a student at a high school at the time in Utah and 740 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:26,810 at a high school at the time in Utah and 741 00:16:26,810 --> 00:16:28,600 at a high school at the time in Utah and sponsored by a corporation out there 742 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:28,610 sponsored by a corporation out there 743 00:16:28,610 --> 00:16:31,240 sponsored by a corporation out there what you see are three different views 744 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:31,250 what you see are three different views 745 00:16:31,250 --> 00:16:32,920 what you see are three different views the center one is the the actual 746 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:32,930 the center one is the the actual 747 00:16:32,930 --> 00:16:35,230 the center one is the the actual electrical arc being struck and the two 748 00:16:35,230 --> 00:16:35,240 electrical arc being struck and the two 749 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,060 electrical arc being struck and the two others are mirror views and the idea was 750 00:16:37,060 --> 00:16:37,070 others are mirror views and the idea was 751 00:16:37,070 --> 00:16:39,130 others are mirror views and the idea was to look at what affects driving an arc 752 00:16:39,130 --> 00:16:39,140 to look at what affects driving an arc 753 00:16:39,140 --> 00:16:40,750 to look at what affects driving an arc and affecting with outside magnetic 754 00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:40,760 and affecting with outside magnetic 755 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,450 and affecting with outside magnetic fields would have in zero-g we carried 756 00:16:43,450 --> 00:16:43,460 fields would have in zero-g we carried 757 00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:45,280 fields would have in zero-g we carried two imax cameras one was the in cabin 758 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:45,290 two imax cameras one was the in cabin 759 00:16:45,290 --> 00:16:47,470 two imax cameras one was the in cabin camera that you see kathy and me trying 760 00:16:47,470 --> 00:16:47,480 camera that you see kathy and me trying 761 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,750 camera that you see kathy and me trying to get reloaded here the other was the 762 00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:49,760 to get reloaded here the other was the 763 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,240 to get reloaded here the other was the imax cargo bay camera which we have not 764 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:52,250 imax cargo bay camera which we have not 765 00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:54,190 imax cargo bay camera which we have not seen any of the film yet but hopefully 766 00:16:54,190 --> 00:16:54,200 seen any of the film yet but hopefully 767 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,590 seen any of the film yet but hopefully we'll see in another week or two there's 768 00:16:56,590 --> 00:16:56,600 we'll see in another week or two there's 769 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,180 we'll see in another week or two there's one of our élevage dad's fishing i was 770 00:17:01,180 --> 00:17:01,190 one of our élevage dad's fishing i was 771 00:17:01,190 --> 00:17:02,950 one of our élevage dad's fishing i was obligated to make sure i got a few good 772 00:17:02,950 --> 00:17:02,960 obligated to make sure i got a few good 773 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,810 obligated to make sure i got a few good shots of some key places in baja 774 00:17:04,810 --> 00:17:04,820 shots of some key places in baja 775 00:17:04,820 --> 00:17:07,690 shots of some key places in baja california for my father but we also 776 00:17:07,690 --> 00:17:07,700 california for my father but we also 777 00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:10,150 california for my father but we also tried to put some of the spectacular 778 00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:10,160 tried to put some of the spectacular 779 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,460 tried to put some of the spectacular views that we had on film 780 00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:12,470 views that we had on film 781 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:14,140 views that we had on film to give you a sense of both the scale of 782 00:17:14,140 --> 00:17:14,150 to give you a sense of both the scale of 783 00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:16,149 to give you a sense of both the scale of v view and the rate of passage which is 784 00:17:16,149 --> 00:17:16,159 v view and the rate of passage which is 785 00:17:16,159 --> 00:17:18,039 v view and the rate of passage which is a little slower of course at this 786 00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:18,049 a little slower of course at this 787 00:17:18,049 --> 00:17:21,130 a little slower of course at this altitude than lower flights in some of 788 00:17:21,130 --> 00:17:21,140 altitude than lower flights in some of 789 00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:22,630 altitude than lower flights in some of the stills which we'll get to later you 790 00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:22,640 the stills which we'll get to later you 791 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,429 the stills which we'll get to later you may get a better appreciation of this 792 00:17:24,429 --> 00:17:24,439 may get a better appreciation of this 793 00:17:24,439 --> 00:17:28,720 may get a better appreciation of this here you're over central Mexico the two 794 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:28,730 here you're over central Mexico the two 795 00:17:28,730 --> 00:17:30,850 here you're over central Mexico the two bright dots at the upper center portion 796 00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:30,860 bright dots at the upper center portion 797 00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:32,620 bright dots at the upper center portion of the frame are the two large volcanoes 798 00:17:32,620 --> 00:17:32,630 of the frame are the two large volcanoes 799 00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:34,899 of the frame are the two large volcanoes just southeast of Mexico City and if you 800 00:17:34,899 --> 00:17:34,909 just southeast of Mexico City and if you 801 00:17:34,909 --> 00:17:37,240 just southeast of Mexico City and if you strain a little bit just up into the 802 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:37,250 strain a little bit just up into the 803 00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:39,190 strain a little bit just up into the left of those volcanoes you may see a 804 00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:39,200 left of those volcanoes you may see a 805 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,350 left of those volcanoes you may see a slightly lighter gray or patch of ground 806 00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:41,360 slightly lighter gray or patch of ground 807 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,029 slightly lighter gray or patch of ground and that is in fact the urban area of 808 00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:43,039 and that is in fact the urban area of 809 00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:46,390 and that is in fact the urban area of mexico city itself it was easy to have 810 00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:46,400 mexico city itself it was easy to have 811 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,760 mexico city itself it was easy to have all of Mexico literally from the 812 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:48,770 all of Mexico literally from the 813 00:17:48,770 --> 00:17:51,130 all of Mexico literally from the California Mexico border to the Gulf 814 00:17:51,130 --> 00:17:51,140 California Mexico border to the Gulf 815 00:17:51,140 --> 00:17:52,899 California Mexico border to the Gulf Coast and on up to houston in your field 816 00:17:52,899 --> 00:17:52,909 Coast and on up to houston in your field 817 00:17:52,909 --> 00:17:54,580 Coast and on up to houston in your field of view at one time from our altitude 818 00:17:54,580 --> 00:17:54,590 of view at one time from our altitude 819 00:17:54,590 --> 00:17:59,860 of view at one time from our altitude which was very spectacular in fact as I 820 00:17:59,860 --> 00:17:59,870 which was very spectacular in fact as I 821 00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:03,039 which was very spectacular in fact as I mentioned perhaps during the flight one 822 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:03,049 mentioned perhaps during the flight one 823 00:18:03,049 --> 00:18:05,140 mentioned perhaps during the flight one pass roughly in this location going to 824 00:18:05,140 --> 00:18:05,150 pass roughly in this location going to 825 00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:07,899 pass roughly in this location going to the east we were puzzled to see a lake 826 00:18:07,899 --> 00:18:07,909 the east we were puzzled to see a lake 827 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:09,850 the east we were puzzled to see a lake worried we didn't recognize any lake 828 00:18:09,850 --> 00:18:09,860 worried we didn't recognize any lake 829 00:18:09,860 --> 00:18:12,460 worried we didn't recognize any lake should be on thinking about it Lauren 830 00:18:12,460 --> 00:18:12,470 should be on thinking about it Lauren 831 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:14,049 should be on thinking about it Lauren realized that it was like Michigan that 832 00:18:14,049 --> 00:18:14,059 realized that it was like Michigan that 833 00:18:14,059 --> 00:18:16,990 realized that it was like Michigan that we were seeing and in fact we later saw 834 00:18:16,990 --> 00:18:17,000 we were seeing and in fact we later saw 835 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,450 we were seeing and in fact we later saw a lake area and Lake Ontario being able 836 00:18:19,450 --> 00:18:19,460 a lake area and Lake Ontario being able 837 00:18:19,460 --> 00:18:22,060 a lake area and Lake Ontario being able to see entirely across the north-south 838 00:18:22,060 --> 00:18:22,070 to see entirely across the north-south 839 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:23,919 to see entirely across the north-south width of the United States from over the 840 00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:23,929 width of the United States from over the 841 00:18:23,929 --> 00:18:26,289 width of the United States from over the Gulf of Mexico and here you're seeing 842 00:18:26,289 --> 00:18:26,299 Gulf of Mexico and here you're seeing 843 00:18:26,299 --> 00:18:28,570 Gulf of Mexico and here you're seeing across almost all of South America from 844 00:18:28,570 --> 00:18:28,580 across almost all of South America from 845 00:18:28,580 --> 00:18:30,340 across almost all of South America from just slightly east of the crest of the 846 00:18:30,340 --> 00:18:30,350 just slightly east of the crest of the 847 00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:35,250 just slightly east of the crest of the Andes out to the coast by Rio de Janeiro 848 00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:35,260 849 00:18:35,260 --> 00:18:37,450 this was one of the least popular 850 00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:37,460 this was one of the least popular 851 00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:39,490 this was one of the least popular experiments aboard I wondered whether 852 00:18:39,490 --> 00:18:39,500 experiments aboard I wondered whether 853 00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:41,049 experiments aboard I wondered whether anyone would still speak to me after 854 00:18:41,049 --> 00:18:41,059 anyone would still speak to me after 855 00:18:41,059 --> 00:18:43,720 anyone would still speak to me after this if I hadn't already been hit this 856 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:43,730 this if I hadn't already been hit this 857 00:18:43,730 --> 00:18:45,880 this if I hadn't already been hit this is something like 8 TB tests at once 858 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:45,890 is something like 8 TB tests at once 859 00:18:45,890 --> 00:18:49,659 is something like 8 TB tests at once there's a certain toxin on each one of 860 00:18:49,659 --> 00:18:49,669 there's a certain toxin on each one of 861 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:52,510 there's a certain toxin on each one of those sets of times and the idea is to 862 00:18:52,510 --> 00:18:52,520 those sets of times and the idea is to 863 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,600 those sets of times and the idea is to determine whether the body's response to 864 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:55,610 determine whether the body's response to 865 00:18:55,610 --> 00:18:58,120 determine whether the body's response to immune system response varies at all in 866 00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:58,130 immune system response varies at all in 867 00:18:58,130 --> 00:19:00,520 immune system response varies at all in zero-g some of the body's immune 868 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:00,530 zero-g some of the body's immune 869 00:19:00,530 --> 00:19:01,870 zero-g some of the body's immune response of course is governed by the 870 00:19:01,870 --> 00:19:01,880 response of course is governed by the 871 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,060 response of course is governed by the blood system and another level of it is 872 00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:04,070 blood system and another level of it is 873 00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:06,610 blood system and another level of it is controlled by the cellular structure of 874 00:19:06,610 --> 00:19:06,620 controlled by the cellular structure of 875 00:19:06,620 --> 00:19:07,810 controlled by the cellular structure of the body and the objective of this 876 00:19:07,810 --> 00:19:07,820 the body and the objective of this 877 00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:10,299 the body and the objective of this experiment specifically was to look at 878 00:19:10,299 --> 00:19:10,309 experiment specifically was to look at 879 00:19:10,309 --> 00:19:12,789 experiment specifically was to look at cell-mediated immune response and see if 880 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:12,799 cell-mediated immune response and see if 881 00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:14,230 cell-mediated immune response and see if one mission specialist could survive 882 00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:14,240 one mission specialist could survive 883 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,600 one mission specialist could survive administering it to two other people on 884 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:16,610 administering it to two other people on 885 00:19:16,610 --> 00:19:18,220 administering it to two other people on the day before entry we go through a 886 00:19:18,220 --> 00:19:18,230 the day before entry we go through a 887 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:20,110 the day before entry we go through a series of tests that we call flight 888 00:19:20,110 --> 00:19:20,120 series of tests that we call flight 889 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:22,899 series of tests that we call flight control system or FCS check out what 890 00:19:22,899 --> 00:19:22,909 control system or FCS check out what 891 00:19:22,909 --> 00:19:24,340 control system or FCS check out what Lauren Steve and I were doing here was 892 00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:24,350 Lauren Steve and I were doing here was 893 00:19:24,350 --> 00:19:25,629 Lauren Steve and I were doing here was actually going through 894 00:19:25,629 --> 00:19:25,639 actually going through 895 00:19:25,639 --> 00:19:27,759 actually going through various tests of the hydraulic system 896 00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:27,769 various tests of the hydraulic system 897 00:19:27,769 --> 00:19:29,979 various tests of the hydraulic system with the auxiliary power unit running 898 00:19:29,979 --> 00:19:29,989 with the auxiliary power unit running 899 00:19:29,989 --> 00:19:32,949 with the auxiliary power unit running actually firing the RCS Jets to make 900 00:19:32,949 --> 00:19:32,959 actually firing the RCS Jets to make 901 00:19:32,959 --> 00:19:35,889 actually firing the RCS Jets to make sure they all operated properly and make 902 00:19:35,889 --> 00:19:35,899 sure they all operated properly and make 903 00:19:35,899 --> 00:19:38,319 sure they all operated properly and make sure that all the systems on board were 904 00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:38,329 sure that all the systems on board were 905 00:19:38,329 --> 00:19:40,779 sure that all the systems on board were going to be good or go for the entry day 906 00:19:40,779 --> 00:19:40,789 going to be good or go for the entry day 907 00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:43,659 going to be good or go for the entry day rfcs check out when very very smoothly 908 00:19:43,659 --> 00:19:43,669 rfcs check out when very very smoothly 909 00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:48,099 rfcs check out when very very smoothly with only very insignificant anomalies 910 00:19:48,099 --> 00:19:48,109 with only very insignificant anomalies 911 00:19:48,109 --> 00:19:49,419 with only very insignificant anomalies which we had seen before in previous 912 00:19:49,419 --> 00:19:49,429 which we had seen before in previous 913 00:19:49,429 --> 00:19:54,369 which we had seen before in previous flight this is a we were trying to get 914 00:19:54,369 --> 00:19:54,379 flight this is a we were trying to get 915 00:19:54,379 --> 00:19:55,749 flight this is a we were trying to get you some lightning and you can see it 916 00:19:55,749 --> 00:19:55,759 you some lightning and you can see it 917 00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,180 you some lightning and you can see it over in the left to the left of the 918 00:19:58,180 --> 00:19:58,190 over in the left to the left of the 919 00:19:58,190 --> 00:20:00,909 over in the left to the left of the earth slim there that's one of the more 920 00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:00,919 earth slim there that's one of the more 921 00:20:00,919 --> 00:20:03,519 earth slim there that's one of the more spectacular scenes of Natan is the 922 00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:03,529 spectacular scenes of Natan is the 923 00:20:03,529 --> 00:20:06,099 spectacular scenes of Natan is the lightning all over the earth just 924 00:20:06,099 --> 00:20:06,109 lightning all over the earth just 925 00:20:06,109 --> 00:20:07,599 lightning all over the earth just unbelievable when you when you get a 926 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:07,609 unbelievable when you when you get a 927 00:20:07,609 --> 00:20:10,810 unbelievable when you when you get a chance to see it this is later in entry 928 00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:10,820 chance to see it this is later in entry 929 00:20:10,820 --> 00:20:13,060 chance to see it this is later in entry then some about Mach 6 taken from a 930 00:20:13,060 --> 00:20:13,070 then some about Mach 6 taken from a 931 00:20:13,070 --> 00:20:15,579 then some about Mach 6 taken from a tracking camera out at Vandenberg we 932 00:20:15,579 --> 00:20:15,589 tracking camera out at Vandenberg we 933 00:20:15,589 --> 00:20:17,889 tracking camera out at Vandenberg we have been doing several air opt is on 934 00:20:17,889 --> 00:20:17,899 have been doing several air opt is on 935 00:20:17,899 --> 00:20:19,690 have been doing several air opt is on the way in all the way through entry to 936 00:20:19,690 --> 00:20:19,700 the way in all the way through entry to 937 00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:23,079 the way in all the way through entry to gather aerodynamic data to try to expand 938 00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:23,089 gather aerodynamic data to try to expand 939 00:20:23,089 --> 00:20:24,669 gather aerodynamic data to try to expand the flight envelope of the shuttle 940 00:20:24,669 --> 00:20:24,679 the flight envelope of the shuttle 941 00:20:24,679 --> 00:20:30,430 the flight envelope of the shuttle slightly this is a scene here of we're 942 00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:30,440 slightly this is a scene here of we're 943 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,319 slightly this is a scene here of we're rolling on the hack and coming around 944 00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:32,329 rolling on the hack and coming around 945 00:20:32,329 --> 00:20:35,499 rolling on the hack and coming around heading alignment circle you can see the 946 00:20:35,499 --> 00:20:35,509 heading alignment circle you can see the 947 00:20:35,509 --> 00:20:37,839 heading alignment circle you can see the Sun on the very bottom of the wing there 948 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:37,849 Sun on the very bottom of the wing there 949 00:20:37,849 --> 00:20:40,779 Sun on the very bottom of the wing there that that Sun angle presented somewhat 950 00:20:40,779 --> 00:20:40,789 that that Sun angle presented somewhat 951 00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:44,109 that that Sun angle presented somewhat of a problem to Charlie and I as we flew 952 00:20:44,109 --> 00:20:44,119 of a problem to Charlie and I as we flew 953 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,359 of a problem to Charlie and I as we flew right into it trying to turn on to the 954 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:46,369 right into it trying to turn on to the 955 00:20:46,369 --> 00:20:49,089 right into it trying to turn on to the alignment circle and it wasn't until we 956 00:20:49,089 --> 00:20:49,099 alignment circle and it wasn't until we 957 00:20:49,099 --> 00:20:50,919 alignment circle and it wasn't until we got more than half way around the circle 958 00:20:50,919 --> 00:20:50,929 got more than half way around the circle 959 00:20:50,929 --> 00:20:52,959 got more than half way around the circle that we finally had the Sun out of our 960 00:20:52,959 --> 00:20:52,969 that we finally had the Sun out of our 961 00:20:52,969 --> 00:20:55,089 that we finally had the Sun out of our eyes hard to read inside and in 962 00:20:55,089 --> 00:20:55,099 eyes hard to read inside and in 963 00:20:55,099 --> 00:20:57,699 eyes hard to read inside and in transition to outside I was fortunate 964 00:20:57,699 --> 00:20:57,709 transition to outside I was fortunate 965 00:20:57,709 --> 00:20:59,739 transition to outside I was fortunate that Lauren is a real gracious soul in 966 00:20:59,739 --> 00:20:59,749 that Lauren is a real gracious soul in 967 00:20:59,749 --> 00:21:02,799 that Lauren is a real gracious soul in the pilot is kind of a misnomer you're a 968 00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:02,809 the pilot is kind of a misnomer you're a 969 00:21:02,809 --> 00:21:04,149 the pilot is kind of a misnomer you're a co-pilot but Lauren gave me an 970 00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:04,159 co-pilot but Lauren gave me an 971 00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:05,769 co-pilot but Lauren gave me an opportunity to fly the vehicle a little 972 00:21:05,769 --> 00:21:05,779 opportunity to fly the vehicle a little 973 00:21:05,779 --> 00:21:08,409 opportunity to fly the vehicle a little bit as we went subsonic and I thought it 974 00:21:08,409 --> 00:21:08,419 bit as we went subsonic and I thought it 975 00:21:08,419 --> 00:21:11,889 bit as we went subsonic and I thought it performed amazingly will we've just come 976 00:21:11,889 --> 00:21:11,899 performed amazingly will we've just come 977 00:21:11,899 --> 00:21:13,799 performed amazingly will we've just come through the inner glide slope there and 978 00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:13,809 through the inner glide slope there and 979 00:21:13,809 --> 00:21:16,060 through the inner glide slope there and once you start to pull the nose up of 980 00:21:16,060 --> 00:21:16,070 once you start to pull the nose up of 981 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:18,430 once you start to pull the nose up of course you're losing all the precious 982 00:21:18,430 --> 00:21:18,440 course you're losing all the precious 983 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,289 course you're losing all the precious airspeed that you had preserved at that 984 00:21:20,289 --> 00:21:20,299 airspeed that you had preserved at that 985 00:21:20,299 --> 00:21:22,930 airspeed that you had preserved at that point charlie lower to gear about 300 986 00:21:22,930 --> 00:21:22,940 point charlie lower to gear about 300 987 00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:26,049 point charlie lower to gear about 300 feet above the ground and we just came 988 00:21:26,049 --> 00:21:26,059 feet above the ground and we just came 989 00:21:26,059 --> 00:21:29,289 feet above the ground and we just came on in establishing attitude and kind of 990 00:21:29,289 --> 00:21:29,299 on in establishing attitude and kind of 991 00:21:29,299 --> 00:21:33,279 on in establishing attitude and kind of hold it to the landing we had been sort 992 00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:33,289 hold it to the landing we had been sort 993 00:21:33,289 --> 00:21:35,060 hold it to the landing we had been sort of on-again off-again for 994 00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:35,070 of on-again off-again for 995 00:21:35,070 --> 00:21:37,190 of on-again off-again for that day for the wind situation out at 996 00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:37,200 that day for the wind situation out at 997 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,970 that day for the wind situation out at Edwards as you probably recall and we 998 00:21:40,970 --> 00:21:40,980 Edwards as you probably recall and we 999 00:21:40,980 --> 00:21:43,399 Edwards as you probably recall and we seem to run out of a hair speed a little 1000 00:21:43,399 --> 00:21:43,409 seem to run out of a hair speed a little 1001 00:21:43,409 --> 00:21:45,740 seem to run out of a hair speed a little bit quicker than normal that I'm used to 1002 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:45,750 bit quicker than normal that I'm used to 1003 00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:49,730 bit quicker than normal that I'm used to in the Sta but the shuttle does have a 1004 00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:49,740 in the Sta but the shuttle does have a 1005 00:21:49,740 --> 00:21:51,889 in the Sta but the shuttle does have a lot of reserve capability there so 1006 00:21:51,889 --> 00:21:51,899 lot of reserve capability there so 1007 00:21:51,899 --> 00:21:54,470 lot of reserve capability there so overall the landing went very smoothly 1008 00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:54,480 overall the landing went very smoothly 1009 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,519 overall the landing went very smoothly in the nose wheel d rotation rate 1010 00:21:57,519 --> 00:21:57,529 in the nose wheel d rotation rate 1011 00:21:57,529 --> 00:22:00,139 in the nose wheel d rotation rate continued to be very slow for the 1012 00:22:00,139 --> 00:22:00,149 continued to be very slow for the 1013 00:22:00,149 --> 00:22:04,220 continued to be very slow for the entirety rotation we also flew the new 1014 00:22:04,220 --> 00:22:04,230 entirety rotation we also flew the new 1015 00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:05,779 entirety rotation we also flew the new carbon brakes for the shuttle program 1016 00:22:05,779 --> 00:22:05,789 carbon brakes for the shuttle program 1017 00:22:05,789 --> 00:22:09,379 carbon brakes for the shuttle program for the first time those brakes turned 1018 00:22:09,379 --> 00:22:09,389 for the first time those brakes turned 1019 00:22:09,389 --> 00:22:11,299 for the first time those brakes turned out to work very well they're very 1020 00:22:11,299 --> 00:22:11,309 out to work very well they're very 1021 00:22:11,309 --> 00:22:14,049 out to work very well they're very smooth and very positive I think 1022 00:22:14,049 --> 00:22:14,059 smooth and very positive I think 1023 00:22:14,059 --> 00:22:16,700 smooth and very positive I think there'll be a great asset to the program 1024 00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:16,710 there'll be a great asset to the program 1025 00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:19,039 there'll be a great asset to the program as we continue to fly those on other 1026 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:19,049 as we continue to fly those on other 1027 00:22:19,049 --> 00:22:21,430 as we continue to fly those on other vehicles now and then look toward 1028 00:22:21,430 --> 00:22:21,440 vehicles now and then look toward 1029 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,980 vehicles now and then look toward returning to KSC for landing and of 1030 00:22:24,980 --> 00:22:24,990 returning to KSC for landing and of 1031 00:22:24,990 --> 00:22:26,990 returning to KSC for landing and of course I planned that stop exactly in 1032 00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:27,000 course I planned that stop exactly in 1033 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,119 course I planned that stop exactly in front of the tower with this camera in 1034 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:29,129 front of the tower with this camera in 1035 00:22:29,129 --> 00:22:31,369 front of the tower with this camera in mind so we could get a new slant on 1036 00:22:31,369 --> 00:22:31,379 mind so we could get a new slant on 1037 00:22:31,379 --> 00:22:36,110 mind so we could get a new slant on things and we did Oh 30 or 40 minutes 1038 00:22:36,110 --> 00:22:36,120 things and we did Oh 30 or 40 minutes 1039 00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:39,259 things and we did Oh 30 or 40 minutes worth of post landing cleanup switches 1040 00:22:39,259 --> 00:22:39,269 worth of post landing cleanup switches 1041 00:22:39,269 --> 00:22:41,840 worth of post landing cleanup switches and reconfiguring and then we're ready 1042 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:41,850 and reconfiguring and then we're ready 1043 00:22:41,850 --> 00:22:44,509 and reconfiguring and then we're ready to get out of the inside fairly cool 1044 00:22:44,509 --> 00:22:44,519 to get out of the inside fairly cool 1045 00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:47,539 to get out of the inside fairly cool outside that day it was about 44 45 1046 00:22:47,539 --> 00:22:47,549 outside that day it was about 44 45 1047 00:22:47,549 --> 00:22:49,789 outside that day it was about 44 45 degrees windchill factor so we stayed 1048 00:22:49,789 --> 00:22:49,799 degrees windchill factor so we stayed 1049 00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:53,600 degrees windchill factor so we stayed inside the suits we had sent along the 1050 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:53,610 inside the suits we had sent along the 1051 00:22:53,610 --> 00:22:55,159 inside the suits we had sent along the regular blue flight suits that we 1052 00:22:55,159 --> 00:22:55,169 regular blue flight suits that we 1053 00:22:55,169 --> 00:22:56,990 regular blue flight suits that we thought we were going to get into but as 1054 00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:57,000 thought we were going to get into but as 1055 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,399 thought we were going to get into but as Lauren mentioned the wind chill factor 1056 00:22:58,399 --> 00:22:58,409 Lauren mentioned the wind chill factor 1057 00:22:58,409 --> 00:23:00,649 Lauren mentioned the wind chill factor made it desirous to just a combination 1058 00:23:00,649 --> 00:23:00,659 made it desirous to just a combination 1059 00:23:00,659 --> 00:23:02,149 made it desirous to just a combination of your heat inside the suit and the 1060 00:23:02,149 --> 00:23:02,159 of your heat inside the suit and the 1061 00:23:02,159 --> 00:23:03,830 of your heat inside the suit and the coolness of the desert air out there 1062 00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:03,840 coolness of the desert air out there 1063 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:10,510 coolness of the desert air out there made it perfect 1064 00:23:10,510 --> 00:23:10,520 1065 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,740 you 1066 00:23:13,740 --> 00:23:13,750 1067 00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:15,740 you 1068 00:23:15,740 --> 00:23:15,750 you 1069 00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:17,810 you you
