the left hand door now

114
00:12:52,190 --> 00:12:50,040
being open swishing cameras now to the

118
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:03,660
pulling the room to get a go for orbit

119
00:13:07,460 --> 00:13:05,910
ops that's a phase in which the crew can

120
00:14:00,750 --> 00:13:07,470
stay on orbit for the remainder of the

121
00:14:14,970 --> 00:14:09,510
right now do rich rigid

122
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:14,980

the number of camera to see the RO EU

129
00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:00,070
and when we try to look at it today we

130
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:02,480
found that it was obscured by the

131
00:16:16,030 --> 00:16:14,150
seemed didn't work you heard this feel

132
00:16:44,090 --> 00:16:16,040

00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:34,550
at the Goddard Space Flight Center where

139
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:37,370
controllers are proceeding nicely with

140
00:17:41,530 --> 00:17:38,930

00:19:00,440 --> 00:18:58,380
punk is ready to start commanding the

149
00:19:23,090 --> 00:19:00,450
solar array release year ago for free

150
00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:31,260

on the mid-deck zero-gravity dynamics

170
00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:20,929
experiment this is called a an electable

171
00:31:18,800 --> 00:30:23,000
trust that means that the crew builds it

172
00:31:18,810 --> 00:31:25,490
ready

173
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:28,430

in color what's it look like to you Jim

190
00:39:26,890 --> 00:39:24,210
the glow over the forward bulkhead of

191
00:39:29,290 --> 00:39:26,900
discovery and occasional flashes are

192
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:29,300
indications of reaction control system

193
00:39:36,460 --> 00:39:32,330
thrusters firing to maintain attitude as

194
00:39:41,830 --> 00:39:36,470
well as propel discovery forward and

195
00:39:43,810 --> 00:39:41,840
higher discovery Houston looks like a

196
00:39:45,430 --> 00:39:43,820
good burn no trim required and believe

197
00:39:51,220 --> 00:39:45,440
it or not we saw the justifier from the

198
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:51,230
Charlie cameras just beautiful lots of

199
00:40:03,100 --> 00:39:56,330
bumping a thumpin going on up here a lot

200
00:40:05,410 --> 00:40:03,110
of shakin goin on huh this is Mission

201
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:05,420
Control Houston this television review

202
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:07,010
from the payload Bay cameras aboard

203
00:40:13,710 --> 00:40:10,310
discovery is not a star field but the

204
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:13,720
lights of city below as discovery

205
00:40:20,020 --> 00:40:17,570
crosses over the North Sea and and

206
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:20,030
across the coast of the northern part of

207
00:40:47,609 --> 00:40:44,220
yeah thanks looking out the commander's

208
00:40:50,970 --> 00:40:47,619
window is in the direction of our motion

209
00:40:53,970 --> 00:40:50,980
I was like a preview of everything yet

210
00:40:56,010 --> 00:40:53,980
to come looking straight out here right

211
00:41:00,390 --> 00:40:56,020
now looking right down there yes the

212
00:41:02,370 --> 00:41:00,400
boot of Italy so that cities there are

213
00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:02,380
positions along the coast all the way

214
00:41:08,849 --> 00:41:05,680
down the peninsula you could really make

215
00:41:13,020 --> 00:41:08,859
us yeah the prepetition that's where the

216
00:41:20,490 --> 00:41:13,030
land is water is jet black so the

217
00:41:22,410 --> 00:41:20,500
outline of all the Roger that can man we

218
00:41:23,849 --> 00:41:22,420
just took payload Bay cameras because we

219
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:23,859
wanted to take a look for ourselves and

220
00:41:52,030 --> 00:41:34,650
we can see that that's amazing right now

221
00:42:00,370 --> 00:41:53,530
yeah it looks like a pretty big

222
00:42:19,210 --> 00:42:02,769
and then the other lighting storm went

223
00:42:25,170 --> 00:42:20,980
well that's beautiful here it must

224
00:42:31,270 --> 00:42:28,710
so card to play is sitting over here

225
00:42:34,030 --> 00:42:31,280
that you can look off the horizon and

226
00:43:06,390 --> 00:42:34,040
see the lights with the fire so very

227
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:14,950
my higher the residuals look really good

228
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:16,910
that's an excellent burnt

229
00:43:34,870 --> 00:43:18,930
that's a superior burner no doubt about

230
00:43:38,860 --> 00:43:37,210
okay and Capcom follow along with that

231
00:43:41,650 --> 00:43:38,870
we saw a good burn

232
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:41,660
we like the residuals here stiff you can

233
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:44,170
hear this but it's completed of time

234
00:43:49,210 --> 00:43:47,090
Roger we copy we saw a good burn with

235
00:43:51,010 --> 00:43:49,220
excellent residuals and for the mode

236
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:51,020
stirs there we need for them to proceed

237
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:54,170
to protocol number 30 and they could

238
00:44:11,210 --> 00:43:56,090
start that now and continue it even

239
00:44:16,099 --> 00:44:13,819
okay we understand protocol 30 and just

240
00:44:47,390 --> 00:44:16,109
as a data point did break surface during

241
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:47,400
the burn just in the view to the right

242
00:44:53,870 --> 00:44:49,130
hand bottom portion of the picture is

243
00:45:29,760 --> 00:44:53,880
Chicago near the southern portion of

244
00:45:40,980 --> 00:45:37,410
Houston discovery yes I would yes Doug

245
00:45:42,810 --> 00:45:40,990
EFE of the images you got down off a

246
00:45:53,420 --> 00:45:42,820
disk gate at Houston was one of the good

247
00:46:04,570 --> 00:45:55,670
and discovery the word is we have great

248
00:46:04,580 --> 00:46:16,950
thank you

249
00:46:24,359 --> 00:46:20,160
this view from Discovery looking from

250
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:24,369
the north to the south stretching all

251
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:28,210
the way from the Lake Michigan area all

252
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:00,690
Atlanta is now in the middle right-hand

253
00:47:48,890 --> 00:47:03,130
portion of the picture just coming into

254
00:48:01,049 --> 00:47:51,200
discoveries presently at an altitude of

255
00:48:16,450 --> 00:48:04,559
looking southward now the entire state

256
00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:18,640
the larger cities are evident by the

257
00:53:22,540 --> 00:48:24,319
brightness Jacksonville Orlando Tampa

258
00:53:26,710 --> 00:53:24,760
or better now initiating the first roll

259
00:53:30,340 --> 00:53:26,720
reversal that's a role reversal to the

260
00:53:38,470 --> 00:53:30,350
right to dissipate excess energy of the

261
00:53:39,820 --> 00:53:38,480
orbiter Discovery's altitude now one

262
00:53:41,410 --> 00:53:39,830
hundred and fifty two thousand feet

263
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:41,420
range two hundred and eighty nautical

264
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:43,610
miles time to touchdown ten minutes

265
00:54:02,349 --> 00:53:58,120
discovery Houston transfer a state

266
00:54:09,660 --> 00:54:02,359
vector to the BFS Roger transfers they

267
00:54:15,329 --> 00:54:12,539
and we're back to about 1300 lo at the

268
00:54:18,390 --> 00:54:15,339
90 converging back to Nam slightly low

269
00:54:19,980 --> 00:54:18,400
at the 90 and converging discovery we

270
00:55:08,750 --> 00:54:19,990
see you slightly low at the 90 and

271
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:13,700
main gear touchdown and nose gear

272
00:55:16,339 --> 00:55:14,310
touchdown

273
00:55:48,710 --> 00:55:16,349
discovery rolling out on Edwards runway

274
00:55:53,069 --> 00:55:51,029
we're glad to have you back discovery

275
00:55:54,569 --> 00:55:53,079
your mission will save the way for a

276
00:55:56,339 --> 00:55:54,579
better understanding of our planet Earth

277
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:56,349
in space and gradually I'll tell down a

278
00:56:00,539 --> 00:55:57,490
job well done in jail

279
00:56:04,620 --> 00:56:00,549

no Delphis plot funny council and we've

283
00:56:13,260 --> 00:56:10,210
got about five minutes of cooling gear

284
00:56:17,940 --> 00:56:13,270
on the Reds first ammonia controller is

285
00:56:25,289 --> 00:56:17,950
going to be ammonia B to prod GPC ok and

286
00:56:28,260 --> 00:56:25,299
we'll await your call we're standing by

291
00:57:34,310 --> 00:57:31,740
vehicle as fairly routine after each

292
00:57:37,220 --> 00:57:34,320
