1
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:52,100
one liftoff of Atlantis

2
00:02:58,170 --> 00:01:58,020
welcome to introduce you to the rest of

3
00:03:00,880 --> 00:02:59,290
Lanta

4
00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:00,890
standby for a call from the Johnson

5
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:04,220
Space Center Johnson press center go

6
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:06,620
ahead with your call Atlantis this is a

7
00:03:12,370 --> 00:03:08,510
Johnson press Center we're ready to

8
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,380
begin the press conference hi this is

9
00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:14,720
Frank bass with the Houston post I've

10
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:16,670
got a question for dr. Musgrave can you

11
00:03:54,490 --> 00:03:18,770
give us an early assessment of how the

12
00:03:56,410 --> 00:03:54,500
bioreactor system has worked this is

13
00:03:59,470 --> 00:03:56,420
Mark kuroh at the Houston Chronicle for

14
00:04:01,630 --> 00:03:59,480
Fred Gregory and story Musgrave wonder

15
00:04:04,030 --> 00:04:01,640
if you could comment further on your

16
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:04,040
observations of the quality of the

17
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:05,570
Earth's atmosphere you made some

18
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:07,250
comments earlier today if you could

19
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:09,650
elaborate on those and sort of compare

20
00:05:51,460 --> 00:04:11,330
what you're seeing on this mission with

21
00:05:51,470 --> 00:06:42,290
frederica castel from the french agency

22
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:45,620
this is Steven go Vayne with ktrk-tv I

23
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:48,810
have a question for anyone I was with

24
00:06:53,809 --> 00:06:50,490
you this past summer when many of you

25
00:06:56,719 --> 00:06:53,819
went visited the Oilers camp and picked

26
00:06:59,210 --> 00:06:56,729
up Oilers jerseys with the number 44 on

27
00:07:01,850 --> 00:06:59,220
them to commemorate your trip to space I

28
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:01,860
was wondering if you were aware that the

29
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:02,910
orders will be going for the

30
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:04,470
championship on Monday night and if you

31
00:07:46,390 --> 00:07:06,360
intended to celebrate that on Monday

32
00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:48,709
this is Laura Talley with The Associated

33
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:51,870
Press and for Mario Ronco I was I want

34
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:53,400
to ask you based on what you've seen so

35
00:08:21,939 --> 00:07:55,860
far on the military man in space can

36
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:25,430
platform so as they as a real time

37
00:08:30,350 --> 00:08:27,780
operational asset to the military at the

38
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:30,360
moment I would say that if our

39
00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:32,880
capabilities were marginal however that

40
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:34,620
may not be true in the future with a

41
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:36,810
little investment in some better

42
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:40,010
equipment and some more training

43
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:42,450
mr. Springfest with the post and I have

44
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:44,130
a follow-up for commander Ronco we've

45
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:46,529
heard quite a bit about the two m88 one

46
00:08:51,019 --> 00:08:48,930
experiments the battle view and Moses

47
00:08:53,630 --> 00:08:51,029
how his night nest been working for

48
00:09:00,410 --> 00:08:53,640
y'all had y'all had any success in

49
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:02,640
patience have been real good when we

50
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:04,090
have we have two modes of communication

51
00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:06,580
so one mode we call network and that's

52
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:08,920
going through a network of satellite

53
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:12,490
systems to a field user at the site of

54
00:09:15,810 --> 00:09:14,080
observation or close to the side of

55
00:09:17,850 --> 00:09:15,820
observation and then we have another

56
00:09:20,390 --> 00:09:17,860
method a direct method where we can go

57
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:20,400
from the shuttle to the ground

58
00:09:24,570 --> 00:09:22,540
unfortunately on the direct method when

59
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:24,580
we first got going with that we had a

60
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:26,170
problem with the connector on her head

61
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:28,750
set and the regulars are working fine

62
00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:30,970
but the means to get the information in

63
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:32,590
and out of the radio has been a problem

64
00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:36,610
at this point Atlantis that concludes

65
00:09:40,650 --> 00:09:38,680
the JSC portion of the press conference

66
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:40,660
stand by for a call from the Kennedy

67
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:44,290
Press Center Atlantis this is the

68
00:09:50,130 --> 00:09:45,970
Kennedy press Center and we're ready to

69
00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:50,140
begin bill Harwood you know a person can

70
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:53,350
you give us a we asked you before launch

71
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:56,050
rather military man in space and human

72
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:57,490
observers could what they could do that

73
00:10:00,390 --> 00:09:59,050
satellites can't do now that you've been

74
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:00,400
up there firsthand and you've been able

75
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:02,170
to look down and see these targets as

76
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:05,290
you go by what can the human observer in

77
00:10:08,490 --> 00:10:06,790
orbit bring to tactical reconnaissance

78
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:08,500
that you can't get just as well or

79
00:10:42,390 --> 00:10:34,650
kind of characterize how a human

80
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:42,400
approves this particular environment we

81
00:10:54,330 --> 00:10:44,470
won't have a specific man in the loop if

82
00:11:03,570 --> 00:10:54,340
you will on orbit in that particular you

83
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:07,580
to a military man in space might be for

84
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:09,490
situations where the tactical field

85
00:11:14,010 --> 00:11:11,530
commander doesn't have the information

86
00:11:16,650 --> 00:11:14,020
that he needs readily something like

87
00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:16,660
where his adversary might be located in

88
00:11:20,670 --> 00:11:18,430
that case if you happen to have a space

89
00:11:23,460 --> 00:11:20,680
platform such as the shuttle or a space

90
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:23,470
station or some other future platform in

91
00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:26,890
orbit at a time and that station is

92
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:28,990
going overhead of the area where that

93
00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:30,880
field commander is operating in that

94
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:33,430
case he might be able to help the field

95
00:11:36,660 --> 00:11:35,170
commander on the ground and relay the

96
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:36,670
information and that's kind of what

97
00:11:46,530 --> 00:11:44,430
Marsha Dunn Associated Press sir

98
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:46,540
Lieutenant Commander Renko are you able

99
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:48,610
to see more or less detail with the m88

100
00:11:51,930 --> 00:11:50,410
cameras than you would anticipate it and

101
00:12:09,840 --> 00:11:51,940
could you give us some idea of just how

102
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:09,850
much detail you can pick out airplanes

103
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:13,290
that's kind of the level of detail

104
00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:15,790
whether I can identify those ships as

105
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:19,120
particular types or airplanes I haven't

106
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:20,710
been able to do mainly because the

107
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:22,630
imagery I'm getting is kind of at the

108
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:24,220
limit of its resolution and that's what

109
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:25,870
I was getting at earlier with regard to

110
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:30,610
a little bit better equipment that

111
00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:33,070
sticky with Reuters for Fred Gregory the

112
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:35,200
failure launch dr. Lenoir said that the

113
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:37,450
shuttle software would be adapted so the

114
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:39,490
orbiter can land on autopilot the

115
00:13:18,840 --> 00:12:41,470
question is would you be happy to let

116
00:13:23,410 --> 00:13:21,460
this is Irene Brown of Florida today I

117
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:23,420
also have a landing question for Fred

118
00:13:28,210 --> 00:13:25,670
Gregory I was wondering if you and Tom

119
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:28,220
Henrik have subscribed to the mike

120
00:13:32,410 --> 00:13:30,410
coates brian o'connor shuttle landing

121
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:32,420
video club to help you keep help keep

122
00:13:46,540 --> 00:13:34,370
you prepared for landing after 10 days

123
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,550
in space sure is daunting with the

124
00:13:50,650 --> 00:13:48,800
Orlando Sentinel I guess for Jim Voss a

125
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:50,660
couple of you got like four hour stints

126
00:14:41,380 --> 00:13:52,490
coming up in the elbe I'm just wondering

127
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:41,390
what you plan to do to me come

128
00:14:48,130 --> 00:14:45,530
Aviation Week for Tom Henin are there

129
00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:48,140
any observational qualities that

130
00:15:04,990 --> 00:14:51,620
surprised you from space as opposed to

131
00:15:06,370 --> 00:15:05,000
the work you had done before I think one

132
00:15:09,690 --> 00:15:06,380
of the biggest things that helps the

133
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:09,700
observation even with the naked eye

134
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:12,320
before going any further that we're not

135
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:13,850
trying to compete with any existing

136
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:15,650
equipment that's out there with then

137
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:18,710
we've run on or we're just going to

138
00:15:21,970 --> 00:15:20,000
characterize a variety of different

139
00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:21,980
observation techniques skills and ways

140
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:22,880
of doing business

141
00:15:30,370 --> 00:15:24,500
they probably the biggest thing that has

142
00:15:40,210 --> 00:15:35,040
the tonal qualities that you get with

143
00:15:41,890 --> 00:15:40,220
return fill based or electro-optical or

144
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:41,900
digital type of product it just don't

145
00:15:45,820 --> 00:15:43,310
seem to have the same kind of color

146
00:15:47,470 --> 00:15:45,830
properties as you have here with your

147
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:47,480
naked eye right out the shuttle window

148
00:15:50,140 --> 00:15:48,890
so probably color is probably the

149
00:15:55,930 --> 00:15:50,150
biggest factor that I really hadn't

150
00:15:59,170 --> 00:15:55,940
anticipated dan billow here at W esht V

151
00:16:01,480 --> 00:15:59,180
for story story you and some of your

152
00:16:02,950 --> 00:16:01,490
crewmates have shown that that you're

153
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:02,960
not really afraid to show people you

154
00:16:45,010 --> 00:16:05,330
have a sense of humor with that in mind

155
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:45,020
I'd like to hear how you describe lost

156
00:16:49,870 --> 00:16:47,450
cabin with WFTV you know Orlando this

157
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:49,880
especially for the for first-timers up

158
00:16:53,890 --> 00:16:51,710
there this mission like a couple of the

159
00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:53,900
recent missions is studying the effects

160
00:16:57,850 --> 00:16:56,120
of weightlessness on the human body what

161
00:17:00,430 --> 00:16:57,860
effects have you noticed immediately

162
00:17:02,260 --> 00:17:00,440
upon going into orbit and since you've

163
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:02,270
been up there what's been happening to

164
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:03,410
your bodies what have you noticed that

165
00:17:20,410 --> 00:17:18,589
perhaps has been unexpected although we

166
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:20,420
don't want to get light and you wouldn't

167
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:22,760
expect us to see much on the front

168
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:25,610
window about six minutes six minutes and

169
00:17:30,940 --> 00:17:28,130
a descent we were climbing directly

170
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:30,950
toward Orion and I was absolutely

171
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:32,690
spectacular from my point of view once

172
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:36,170
we had a engine cutoff the floating

173
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:39,350
sensation wasn't as strong as I expected

174
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:41,510
but I did make sure that went through

175
00:17:46,090 --> 00:19:11,730
shortly after that nothing was the human

chief after the Challenger accident more

180
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:22,550
than three years after return to flight

181
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:25,310
how do you view agency wide attention to

182
00:19:28,900 --> 00:19:27,290
safety and can it be maintained in

183
00:19:31,150 --> 00:19:28,910
future years with a heavier flight

184
