1
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:38,540
when the final hours of the STS 34

2
00:00:42,860 --> 00:00:41,340
launch countdown at this time everything

3
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:42,870
is proceeding smoothly here in the

4
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:44,370
firing room at the launch control center

5
00:00:49,819 --> 00:00:48,210
in at launch pad 39b a full five day

6
00:00:51,410 --> 00:00:49,829
mission begins with the primary

7
00:00:54,350 --> 00:00:51,420
objective of deploying the Galileo

8
00:00:55,939 --> 00:00:54,360
spacecraft from the payload Bay so it

9
00:00:58,399 --> 00:00:55,949
can begin a six-year journey to the

10
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:58,409
planet Jupiter several scientific

11
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:00,000
experiments will be conducted and

12
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:02,070
orbiter detailed test objectives will

13
00:01:09,889 --> 00:01:05,430
also be performed during the mission and

14
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:09,899
we have the STS 34 flight crew with a

15
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:11,970
pumpkin decorated in an astronaut suit

16
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:16,050
we've got commanded Don Williams this is

17
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:18,710
going to be his second flight today

18
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:21,450
we've got mission specialist Franklin

19
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:23,460
chang-diaz making his second flight as

20
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:26,850
well mission specialist Shannon lucid

21
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:30,450
this is her second flight and mission

22
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:32,250
specialist Ellen Baker making her first

23
00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:35,970
flight today pilot Mike McCauley also

24
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:46,100
like who will be departing for the

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:48,960
launchpad and about an hour in ten

26
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:51,210
minutes or so after they get their

27
00:02:40,440 --> 00:01:54,750
weather briefing and Don their flight

28
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:42,750
but in forecast for this morning remains

29
00:02:58,410 --> 00:02:45,670
the same with a 60% chance of not

30
00:03:00,420 --> 00:02:58,420
violating our weather criteria they're

31
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:00,430
called khru altitude protection systems

32
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:02,890
and they have consisted a helmet

33
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:06,700
these are pressurized garments and they

34
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:08,260
do wear gloves and boots there's pilot

35
00:03:11,489 --> 00:03:16,729
he's mission specialist Shannon lucid

36
00:03:23,390 --> 00:03:19,140
crew does need assistance getting into

37
00:03:28,009 --> 00:03:23,400
these suits they are bulkier than the

38
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:28,019
other suits that were worn previous to

39
00:03:49,070 --> 00:03:31,930
the STS 26 mission mission specialists

40
00:04:43,280 --> 00:03:52,050
and we got the flight crew here led by

41
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:46,200
STS 34 commander Don Williams now

42
00:04:53,969 --> 00:04:48,160
preparing for his entry into Atlantis

43
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:53,979
his crew module williams is a captain in

44
00:04:58,860 --> 00:04:56,410
the United States Navy he's born in

45
00:05:01,800 --> 00:04:58,870
Lafayette Indiana mission specialist

46
00:05:06,570 --> 00:05:01,810
Shannon lucid is being prepared to board

47
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:06,580
the orbiter at this time she was born in

48
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:08,770
Shanghai China but considers Bethany

49
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,630
at t-minus seven minutes 30 seconds the

50
00:05:45,260 --> 00:05:28,320
orbiter access arm will be retracted

51
00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:45,270
away from the vehicle we start a

52
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:51,870
retraction of the orbiters access on ngd

53
00:05:56,780 --> 00:05:55,110
flight - one - okay we're gonna be go on

54
00:05:59,450 --> 00:05:56,790
Tao but we're gonna have to switch sites

55
00:06:09,350 --> 00:05:59,460
- as their Gosa go we hold at t-minus

56
00:06:31,940 --> 00:06:11,719
at this time the three main engines are

57
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:34,340
liquid oxygen tank now reported at

58
00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:45,930
flight pressure do you - two minutes my

59
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:47,340
crew has been instructed to close their

60
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:50,160
visors less than two minutes away now

61
00:06:59,840 --> 00:06:55,680
from launch all systems are go to minus

62
00:07:00,680 --> 00:06:59,850
31 seconds we have a go for autosequence

63
00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:00,690
start

64
00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:02,550
Atlantis's for redundant computers have

65
00:07:11,390 --> 00:07:04,380
primary control of critical vehicle

66
00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:11,400
functions through liftoff t-minus 20 he

67
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:19,560
finds 15 11 10 9 we have a go for main

68
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:26,090
engine start six five four three two one

69
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:48,120
controlling

70
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:54,350
I didn't confirm the good roll maneuver

71
00:08:00,690 --> 00:07:58,210
three engines throttling back now to 65%

72
00:08:07,950 --> 00:08:00,700
as Atlantis passes through the area of

73
00:08:11,930 --> 00:08:07,960
maximum dynamic pressure rolls now at

74
00:08:30,870 --> 00:08:11,940
65% I see he's looking good velocity

75
00:08:33,420 --> 00:08:30,880
2,000 feet per second velocity now 1,400

76
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:33,430
feet per second downrange distance 3

77
00:08:40,650 --> 00:08:37,330
nautical miles Atlantis

78
00:08:45,510 --> 00:08:40,660
go at throttle up engines now throttling

79
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:45,520
back engines now back to 104 percent all

80
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:48,520
systems performing well standing by for

81
00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:50,800
separation of the solid rocket boosters

82
00:09:02,490 --> 00:08:59,920
at 2 minutes and 4 seconds velocity now

83
00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:02,500
2,700 feet per second downrange 10

84
00:09:46,429 --> 00:09:43,610
separation of SRBs confirmed velocity

85
00:09:56,620 --> 00:09:46,439
now 4200 feet per second downrange 33

86
00:09:56,630 --> 00:10:03,030
like it's a global ride it looks great

87
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:24,310
congratulations to all of you

88
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:31,540
Atlanta Houston I just ran it has been a

89
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:33,350
long time coming but you have a go for

90
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:37,580
deploy okay I understand we have a girl

91
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:39,710
for deploy so we're starting out on step

92
00:11:04,230 --> 00:10:41,810
five is have a page for - tan and just

93
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,780
they'll adapt again

94
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:13,080
like they track option target 94 body

95
00:11:38,910 --> 00:12:18,750
the

96
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,699
okay that's great news Shannon thanks

97
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:27,040
ground telemetry is confirming Shannon

98
00:12:32,290 --> 00:12:29,450
lucid report of tilt table motion the

99
00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:32,300
tilt table was at 29 degrees it's now

100
00:13:14,870 --> 00:12:35,540
moving up to an elevation of 58 degrees

101
00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:16,999
and the Sunnyvale flight director has

102
00:13:21,439 --> 00:13:19,470
just confirmed the successful deploy of

103
00:13:27,889 --> 00:13:21,449
the inertial upper stage and gallileo

104
00:13:30,620 --> 00:13:27,899
gallileo reports positive telemetry of

105
00:13:33,379 --> 00:13:30,630
deploy also we see the orbiter

106
00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:33,389
performing a minus X translation

107
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:36,180
maneuver to move away from the I u.s.

108
00:13:53,389 --> 00:13:43,500
Galileo stack Galileo is isolated to

109
00:14:12,889 --> 00:13:53,399
another world Roger Atlantis would copy

110
00:14:12,899 --> 00:15:30,440
just

111
00:15:54,930 --> 00:15:39,449
good morning Atlanta who enjoyed

112
00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:54,940
ourselves at the Bohemian Rhapsody oh we

113
00:16:02,040 --> 00:15:56,230
thank you and we're sure glad you

114
00:16:04,139 --> 00:16:02,050
recognized it we carry a first aid kit

115
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:04,149
success for one of these walkers which

116
00:16:09,449 --> 00:16:07,060
is where we store most of the materials

117
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:09,459
experiments that stated a living height

118
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:14,110
of 70 that's like they kiss carry pretty

119
00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:15,970
much what if doctors black bag would

120
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:42,120
we carry of course

121
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:46,140
things you buy in a drugstore savages

122
00:16:53,410 --> 00:16:51,020
adhesive tape common medications for

123
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:53,420
cold differ fever runny nose you things

124
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:56,210
like that we also carry a few things

125
00:17:53,960 --> 00:16:58,130
just in case there's a more serious

126
00:18:01,070 --> 00:17:56,910
we carry very basic things like if I'd

127
00:18:06,780 --> 00:18:03,780
the doctor aboard as a matter of fact

128
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:06,790
there usually isn't a doctor on board so

129
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:11,890
we generally trace two crewmembers basic

130
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:13,930
first-aid problem very basic medical

131
00:18:28,669 --> 00:18:16,810
problem and all three members all crew

132
00:18:37,669 --> 00:18:31,110
set the crew cab so we have a few

133
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:40,230
show you how to take care of things such

134
00:19:02,549 --> 00:18:57,330
as like that if we can't find the answer

135
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:02,559
the medical checklist we have a video

136
00:19:06,299 --> 00:19:04,240
link in an audio link to the Mission

137
00:19:10,660 --> 00:19:06,309
Control Center well we can talk to a

138
00:19:15,770 --> 00:19:13,910
we don't have any medical problems in

139
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:15,780
the shuttle that are serious however we

140
00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:18,210
do have to think about what to do for

141
00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:22,260
Space Station is going up for maybe

142
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:24,660
three or six months at a time you can't

143
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:26,370
rush to the emergency room you can't to

144
00:19:30,980 --> 00:19:28,110
give you a doctor a call of help you

145
00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:30,990
come by and make a house call so we're

146
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:33,390
expanding our medical capabilities so

147
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:34,770
that we can handle things like minor

148
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:38,340
surgery or even medical stabilization of

149
00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:40,290
a patient who's got some more serious

150
00:19:45,770 --> 00:19:43,980
problem we're not that far from Earth we

151
00:19:47,690 --> 00:19:45,780
can come off fairly quickly if there was

152
00:19:52,820 --> 00:19:47,700
the treat medical emergency if a space

153
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:52,830
station we might not have that option to

154
00:19:55,730 --> 00:19:54,030
talk about some of the medical

155
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:55,740
experiments that we're doing onboard the

156
00:20:19,150 --> 00:19:57,930
shuttle Atlantis until then have a good

157
00:21:03,840 --> 00:20:20,230
once you see what you're doing here

158
00:21:03,850 --> 00:23:32,520
got a 50

159
00:23:32,530 --> 00:24:33,430
you can see

160
00:24:58,389 --> 00:24:37,880
did that and now the door I'll begin to

161
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:02,120
you see how the door slowly closes just

162
00:25:11,250 --> 00:25:48,029
all that goes down

163
00:25:57,129 --> 00:25:51,519
we paid these pictures of the Gretna

164
00:26:00,609 --> 00:25:57,139
this is Alex beretta with the fiber

165
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:00,619
optics device that we will be testing is

166
00:26:12,850 --> 00:26:04,129
a demonstration of a really really good

167
00:26:14,169 --> 00:26:12,860
capability that we now have okay we

168
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:14,179
could do a lot better

169
00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:17,330
of course we provide this pictures in

170
00:29:26,030 --> 00:26:20,950
color is that better be the next step

171
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:29,100
that's affirmed on your execute package

172
00:29:35,970 --> 00:29:32,470
should be on board you can hear the

173
00:29:39,180 --> 00:29:35,980
whine of the WCS and Franklin is getting

174
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:39,190
prepared for international phone call

175
00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:42,250
this hair is full of soap I don't know

176
00:29:59,050 --> 00:30:17,530
well our hair is clean now time to shave

177
00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:23,239
he looked good blue that hair

178
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:25,409
I'm gonna put the rest of us to shame

179
00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:28,110
Franklin

180
00:31:49,030 --> 00:30:41,060
yeah hey Mike

181
00:31:57,890 --> 00:31:54,820
and this is the back of Atlantis

182
00:32:07,700 --> 00:31:57,900
everybody trying to grab a bite to eat

183
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:09,440
after that it's probably tough when

184
00:36:17,880 --> 00:32:10,710
you're competing with a couple of

185
00:36:17,890 --> 00:37:05,480
and we see it this looks great

186
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:09,060
so the ice per minute up to the ceiling

187
00:37:12,750 --> 00:37:10,810
with a couple of spring but geez here

188
00:37:14,970 --> 00:37:12,760
they camera about it on it just above my

189
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:14,980
head as you can see there the reflection

190
00:37:19,260 --> 00:37:16,450
is not too bad off the top of my head

191
00:37:20,970 --> 00:37:19,270
and the experiment itself display is

192
00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:20,980
over to the top side which is dependent

193
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:22,480
where I'm headed right now in order to

194
00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:25,330
read out what the display was fan we

195
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:27,520
applied to look inside the chamber isn't

196
00:37:32,070 --> 00:37:30,130
that chamber light and the focus on the

197
00:37:33,810 --> 00:37:32,080
filament wire or where the crystals grow

198
00:37:36,090 --> 00:37:33,820
is excellent it there's the big very

199
00:37:37,410 --> 00:37:36,100
sharply and focus that we haven't seen

200
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:37,420
any crystals yet I don't know whether

201
00:38:00,270 --> 00:37:39,910
that's to be expected or not but what

202
00:38:00,280 --> 00:39:36,300
well inject MCC

203
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:38,860
the rest of us down here appreciate the

204
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:41,090
medical work that y'all are doing well

205
00:40:14,140 --> 00:39:42,890
and we hope that it makes our flights

206
00:40:14,150 --> 00:40:23,020
this is Ellen taking blood pressure

207
00:40:23,030 --> 00:41:27,060
or look at that concentration

208
00:41:35,350 --> 00:41:33,910
I could go for that but why would you

209
00:42:26,420 --> 00:41:35,360
Rhett knows what you rather be doing ah

210
00:42:30,630 --> 00:42:28,710
that's a beautiful day here it's warmed

211
00:42:59,579 --> 00:42:30,640
up a bit I guess it's about 78 or 80

212
00:43:05,759 --> 00:43:02,099
they saw a ready light on p.m. could you

213
00:47:18,420 --> 00:43:05,769
check that for us they expected they

214

00:47:39,730 --> 00:47:35,950
Atlantis should cross the California

216
00:47:41,710 --> 00:47:39,740
coast at about Mach 4 and an altitude of

217
00:47:48,299 --> 00:47:41,720
a hundred and five thousand feet

218
00:47:54,299 --> 00:47:50,470
television cameras at edwards have

219
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:54,309
picked up a visual on atlantis now at

220
00:48:29,020 --> 00:47:57,410
Mach two seventy seven thousand feet

221
00:48:39,650 --> 00:48:32,300
velocity now Mach 1.6 altitude 69

222
00:49:13,210 --> 00:48:39,660
thousand feet 38 miles out Atlantis now

223
00:49:17,540 --> 00:49:15,680
Atlantis Houston your nav looks good you

224
00:49:31,610 --> 00:49:17,550
can disregard the nav edit message and

velocity is 500 feet per second 5,800

231
00:51:06,070 --> 00:51:17,750
