would like to do this morning is 203 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,789 what we would like to do this morning is share with you some of the things that 204 00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:34,799 share with you some of the things that 205 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:36,550 share with you some of the things that we had an opportunity to see and 206 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:36,560 we had an opportunity to see and 207 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,509 we had an opportunity to see and experience 208 00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:39,519 209 00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:41,670 as you're no doubt aware we flew on the 210 00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:41,680 as you're no doubt aware we flew on the 211 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,470 as you're no doubt aware we flew on the space shuttle discovery 212 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:44,480 space shuttle discovery 213 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,670 space shuttle discovery this was the 13th flight of discovery 214 00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:47,680 this was the 13th flight of discovery 215 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,830 this was the 13th flight of discovery unlike a lot of previous flights uh we 216 00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:49,840 unlike a lot of previous flights uh we 217 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,110 unlike a lot of previous flights uh we had gentleman's hours 218 00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:51,120 had gentleman's hours 219 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,670 had gentleman's hours we got up about two in the afternoon had 220 00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:53,680 we got up about two in the afternoon had 221 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,270 we got up about two in the afternoon had a quick breakfast and then we went into 222 00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:55,280 a quick breakfast and then we went into 223 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,710 a quick breakfast and then we went into the suiting room where we put on our 224 00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:56,720 the suiting room where we put on our 225 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,229 the suiting room where we put on our pressure suits 226 00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:58,239 pressure suits 227 00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:00,789 pressure suits this is a final opportunity to check the 228 00:04:00,789 --> 00:04:00,799 this is a final opportunity to check the 229 00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:01,429 this is a final opportunity to check the suits out 230 00:04:01,429 --> 00:04:01,439 suits out 231 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:02,869 suits out make sure that everything was working 232 00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:02,879 make sure that everything was working 233 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:04,710 make sure that everything was working the communications the 234 00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:04,720 the communications the 235 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,990 the communications the cooling systems and also the pressure 236 00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:08,000 cooling systems and also the pressure 237 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,710 cooling systems and also the pressure system 238 00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:10,720 239 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,390 you'll see here i'm being pumped up 240 00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:12,400 you'll see here i'm being pumped up 241 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,550 you'll see here i'm being pumped up inside the suit just to make sure that 242 00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:14,560 inside the suit just to make sure that 243 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,670 inside the suit just to make sure that it holds pressure and then 244 00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:15,680 it holds pressure and then 245 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,949 it holds pressure and then we're satisfied that everything's 246 00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:16,959 we're satisfied that everything's 247 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:22,469 we're satisfied that everything's working we depart from crew quarters 248 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:22,479 249 00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,390 board the crew van which will take us 250 00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:24,400 board the crew van which will take us 251 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,590 board the crew van which will take us the 252 00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:25,600 the 253 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,749 the five miles or so it is out to the launch 254 00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:27,759 five miles or so it is out to the launch 255 00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:30,629 five miles or so it is out to the launch pad 256 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:30,639 257 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,070 we launched right at sunset 258 00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:34,080 we launched right at sunset 259 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,350 we launched right at sunset it's pretty quiet laying on your back 260 00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:35,360 it's pretty quiet laying on your back 261 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,469 it's pretty quiet laying on your back there for about three hours but 262 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:36,479 there for about three hours but 263 00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:39,270 there for about three hours but eventually somebody says 109876 and it 264 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:39,280 eventually somebody says 109876 and it 265 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:40,790 eventually somebody says 109876 and it in about six and a half seconds they 266 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:40,800 in about six and a half seconds they 267 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,550 in about six and a half seconds they light the main engines the whole vehicle 268 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:42,560 light the main engines the whole vehicle 269 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,629 light the main engines the whole vehicle starts to rumble and shake 270 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:44,639 starts to rumble and shake 271 00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:46,390 starts to rumble and shake count continues on down to zero and at 272 00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:46,400 count continues on down to zero and at 273 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,749 count continues on down to zero and at that point they 274 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:47,759 that point they 275 00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:49,350 that point they blow the hold down bolts ignite the 276 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:49,360 blow the hold down bolts ignite the 277 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,590 blow the hold down bolts ignite the solid rocket boosters 278 00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:51,600 solid rocket boosters 279 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,189 solid rocket boosters and you're on your way if you look 280 00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:53,199 and you're on your way if you look 281 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:54,950 and you're on your way if you look closely you can see the shock waves in 282 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:54,960 closely you can see the shock waves in 283 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,670 closely you can see the shock waves in the 284 00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:55,680 the 285 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,230 the exhaust of the main engines right here 286 00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:58,240 exhaust of the main engines right here 287 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,990 exhaust of the main engines right here but they're sort of overpowered by the 288 00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:00,000 but they're sort of overpowered by the 289 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,550 but they're sort of overpowered by the the plume from the solid rocket boosters 290 00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:02,560 the plume from the solid rocket boosters 291 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,710 the plume from the solid rocket boosters we do a roll right after we lift off 292 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:04,720 we do a roll right after we lift off 293 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,990 we do a roll right after we lift off from the tower 294 00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:06,000 from the tower 295 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,749 from the tower to establish our launch inclination 296 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:07,759 to establish our launch inclination 297 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:09,189 to establish our launch inclination which is just a fancy word for what 298 00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:09,199 which is just a fancy word for what 299 00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:10,550 which is just a fancy word for what direction we're going to head and in our 300 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:10,560 direction we're going to head and in our 301 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,430 direction we're going to head and in our case it was 302 00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:11,440 case it was 303 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,510 case it was a 57 degree inclination which put us 304 00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:13,520 a 57 degree inclination which put us 305 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,870 a 57 degree inclination which put us right up the east coast of the united 306 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:14,880 right up the east coast of the united 307 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,070 right up the east coast of the united states you can see the 308 00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:16,080 states you can see the 309 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,070 states you can see the shock waves as we go through mach 1 310 00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:18,080 shock waves as we go through mach 1 311 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,430 shock waves as we go through mach 1 forming on the leading edges of the 312 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:19,440 forming on the leading edges of the 313 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,590 forming on the leading edges of the solid rocket boosters 314 00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:23,600 315 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,070 that flash uh that you saw right there 316 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:26,080 that flash uh that you saw right there 317 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,150 that flash uh that you saw right there was just a reflection off of a cloud 318 00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:28,160 was just a reflection off of a cloud 319 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,029 was just a reflection off of a cloud that we passed through 320 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:33,039 321 00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:34,710 the solid rocket boosters burned for 322 00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:34,720 the solid rocket boosters burned for 323 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,350 the solid rocket boosters burned for about two minutes and 11 seconds 324 00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:39,360 about two minutes and 11 seconds 325 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,029 about two minutes and 11 seconds during that period of time it's a fairly 326 00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:41,039 during that period of time it's a fairly 327 00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:43,749 during that period of time it's a fairly uh violent ride is probably too strong a 328 00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:43,759 uh violent ride is probably too strong a 329 00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:45,270 uh violent ride is probably too strong a word but there's a lot of shake rattle 330 00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:45,280 word but there's a lot of shake rattle 331 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,790 word but there's a lot of shake rattle and roll going on 332 00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:46,800 and roll going on 333 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,710 and roll going on the end of two minutes and 11 seconds 334 00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:48,720 the end of two minutes and 11 seconds 335 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,830 the end of two minutes and 11 seconds their work is done 336 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:49,840 their work is done 337 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,990 their work is done they burned about 2.6 million pounds 338 00:05:51,990 --> 00:05:52,000 they burned about 2.6 million pounds 339 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,230 they burned about 2.6 million pounds worth of propellant 340 00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:54,240 worth of propellant 341 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,990 worth of propellant and so at that point the boosters are 342 00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:56,000 and so at that point the boosters are 343 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,309 and so at that point the boosters are jettisoned 344 00:06:00,309 --> 00:06:00,319 345 00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:01,670 and are recovered via parachute 346 00:06:01,670 --> 00:06:01,680 and are recovered via parachute 347 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,430 and are recovered via parachute approximately 100 miles downrange 348 00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:03,440 approximately 100 miles downrange 349 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,950 approximately 100 miles downrange and here you can see the solid booster 350 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:04,960 and here you can see the solid booster 351 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,710 and here you can see the solid booster separating from the main stack meanwhile 352 00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:06,720 separating from the main stack meanwhile 353 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,029 separating from the main stack meanwhile the 354 00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:07,039 the 355 00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:09,110 the the orbiter attached to the external 356 00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:09,120 the orbiter attached to the external 357 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,950 the orbiter attached to the external tank continues to burn for another six 358 00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:10,960 tank continues to burn for another six 359 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,230 tank continues to burn for another six minutes or so 360 00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:12,240 minutes or so 361 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,909 minutes or so and then at about eight minutes and 35 362 00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:13,919 and then at about eight minutes and 35 363 00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:18,390 and then at about eight minutes and 35 seconds the main engine shut down 364 00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:18,400 365 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:26,870 and we were in space 366 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:26,880 367 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,390 you don't really have much time to enjoy 368 00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:28,400 you don't really have much time to enjoy 369 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,070 you don't really have much time to enjoy the ride you're sort of hanging on for 370 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:30,080 the ride you're sort of hanging on for 371 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,670 the ride you're sort of hanging on for assets so when you get on orbit it's the 372 00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:31,680 assets so when you get on orbit it's the 373 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,950 assets so when you get on orbit it's the first opportunity you really have to 374 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:32,960 first opportunity you really have to 375 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,309 first opportunity you really have to look out the window and the first words 376 00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:34,319 look out the window and the first words 377 00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:35,909 look out the window and the first words out of my mouth were amazement of just 378 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:35,919 out of my mouth were amazement of just 379 00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:38,469 out of my mouth were amazement of just how high we were 380 00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:38,479 how high we were 381 00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:40,629 how high we were shortly after getting on to orbit we 382 00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:40,639 shortly after getting on to orbit we 383 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:45,189 shortly after getting on to orbit we opened up the payload bay doors 384 00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:45,199 385 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:46,950 had our first opportunity to glimpse our 386 00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:46,960 had our first opportunity to glimpse our 387 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,950 had our first opportunity to glimpse our primary payload the ur's upper 388 00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:48,960 primary payload the ur's upper 389 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,950 primary payload the ur's upper atmospheric

393 00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:56,550 and here we're putting out the ku band antenna which is one of the primary 394 00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:56,560 antenna which is one of the primary 395 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,749 antenna which is one of the primary means that we use to 396 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:57,759 means that we use to 397 00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,469 means that we use to communicate with the orbiter through the 398 00:07:00,469 --> 00:07:00,479 communicate with the orbiter through the 399 00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:01,990 communicate with the orbiter through the tdrs are tracking and data relay 400 00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:02,000 tdrs are tracking and data relay 401 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,230 tdrs are tracking and data relay satellites that nasa uses to both track 402 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:04,240 satellites that nasa uses to both track 403 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,550 satellites that nasa uses to both track and communicate with the 404 00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:06,560 and communicate with the 405 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,230 and communicate with the the space shuttles on day two we did a 406 00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:10,240 the space shuttles on day two we did a 407 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,029 the space shuttles on day two we did a raising burn 408 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:11,039 raising burn 409 00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:12,710 raising burn we initially inserted into a circular 410 00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:12,720 we initially inserted into a circular 411 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,309 we initially inserted into a circular 292 degree 412 00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:14,319 292 degree 413 00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,309 292 degree uh mile burn and then we raised it up to 414 00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:16,319 uh mile burn and then we raised it up to 415 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:17,350 uh mile burn and then we raised it up to 308 416 00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:17,360 308 417 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,270 308 these pulses that you see flashing up 418 00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:19,280 these pulses that you see flashing up 419 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,510 these pulses that you see flashing up here are the forward rcs jets that are 420 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:21,520 here are the forward rcs jets that are 421 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,189 here are the forward rcs jets that are pulsing to maintain attitude 422 00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:23,199 pulsing to maintain attitude 423 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,510 pulsing to maintain attitude the glow right here are the sustained 424 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:25,520 the glow right here are the sustained 425 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,309 the glow right here are the sustained firing 426 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:26,319 firing 427 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,710 firing of the jets that are actually doing the 428 00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:28,720 of the jets that are actually doing the 429 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,390 of the jets that are actually doing the raising burn itself 430 00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:30,400 raising burn itself 431 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,629 raising burn itself or pushing us up to a higher altitude 432 00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:36,639 433 00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:38,710 we spent months training and it was a 434 00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:38,720 we spent months training and it was a 435 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,469 we spent months training and it was a sort of a giant pain always climbing up 436 00:07:40,469 --> 00:07:40,479 sort of a giant pain always climbing up 437 00:07:40,479 --> 00:07:41,830 sort of a giant pain always climbing up and down the ladder getting from the mid 438 00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:41,840 and down the ladder getting from the mid 439 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,270 and down the ladder getting from the mid deck to the flight deck but it gets a 440 00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:43,280 deck to the flight deck but it gets a 441 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,950 deck to the flight deck but it gets a whole lot easier we get it into space 442 00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:44,960 whole lot easier we get it into space 443 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,950 whole lot easier we get it into space you just sort of float out of your seat 444 00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:46,960 you just sort of float out of your seat 445 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,950 you just sort of float out of your seat and then just sort of float down the 446 00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:48,960 and then just sort of float down the 447 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,510 and then just sort of float down the axis way down into the mid deck 448 00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:51,520 axis way down into the mid deck 449 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,070 axis way down into the mid deck getting around is in zero gravity is a 450 00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:54,080 getting around is in zero gravity is a 451 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,710 getting around is in zero gravity is a real treat 452 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:56,720 453 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,469 this is a short clip of the electronic 454 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:58,479 this is a short clip of the electronic 455 00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:00,309 this is a short clip of the electronic still camera which we used extensively 456 00:08:00,309 --> 00:08:00,319 still camera which we used extensively 457 00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:01,510 still camera which we used extensively on orbit 458 00:08:01,510 --> 00:08:01,520 on orbit 459 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,309 on orbit it's quite simply a nikon f4 modified 460 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:04,319 it's quite simply a nikon f4 modified 461 00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:06,230 it's quite simply a nikon f4 modified not to use regular commercial film but 462 00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:06,240 not to use regular commercial film but 463 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,670 not to use regular commercial film but instead record the images 464 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:07,680 instead record the images 465 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,469 instead record the images as digital ones and zeros as a normal 466 00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:10,479 as digital ones and zeros as a normal 467 00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:12,150 as digital ones and zeros as a normal flash attachment on the top 468 00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:12,160 flash attachment on the top 469 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,309 flash attachment on the top and can use any regular nikon off the 470 00:08:14,309 --> 00:08:14,319 and can use any regular nikon off the 471 00:08:14,319 -->

00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:18,720 and we took about 240 pictures on orbit 475 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,230 and we took about 240 pictures on orbit down linked about 200 476 00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:20,240 down linked about 200 477 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,309 down linked about 200 and i understand about 25 were released 478 00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:22,319 and i understand about 25 were released 479 00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:24,070 and i understand about 25 were released to the press 480 00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:24,080 to the press 481 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,950 to the press and we're quite well we took a wide 482 00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:26,960 and we're quite well we took a wide 483 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,710 and we're quite well we took a wide variety of other types of photographic 484 00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:28,720 variety of other types of photographic 485 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,390 variety of other types of photographic equipment with us as well 486 00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:30,400 equipment with us as well 487 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,550 equipment with us as well you've seen some of the examples of uh 488 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:32,560 you've seen some of the examples of uh 489 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:33,829 you've seen some of the examples of uh the products of those 490 00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:33,839 the products of those 491 00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:36,070 the products of those what we're working with now is the dual 492 00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:36,080 what we're working with now is the dual 493 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,949 what we're working with now is the dual mount 494 00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:36,959 mount 495 00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:40,149 mount twin 70 millimeter hasselblad cameras 496 00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:40,159 twin 70 millimeter hasselblad

00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:46,870 one with color ir film and one with eye visual film we also use the same mount 500 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:46,880 visual film we also use the same mount 501 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,590 visual film we also use the same mount for 502 00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:47,600 for 503 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,630 for putting polarization filters on to 504 00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:50,640 putting polarization filters on to 505 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,310 putting polarization filters on to to take advantage of the difference 506 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:52,320 to take advantage of the difference 507 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,070 to take advantage of the difference between polarized light that's reflected 508 00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:54,080 between polarized light that's reflected 509 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:08,470 between polarized light that's reflected off the surface of the ocean 510 00:09:08,470 --> 00:09:08,480 off the surface of the ocean 511 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,990 off the surface of the ocean we spent a lot of time taking pictures 512 00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:10,000 we spent a lot of time taking pictures 513 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,350 we spent a lot of time taking pictures from space but occasionally all the 514 00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:11,360 from space but occasionally all the 515 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,710 from space but occasionally all the cameras were taken and 516 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:12,720 cameras were taken and 517 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,150 cameras were taken and we had the opportunity just to look out 518 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:14,160 we had the opportunity just to look out 519 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,230 we had the opportunity just to look out the window here i'm using the 520 00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:16,240 the window here i'm using the 521 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,670 the window here i'm using the stabilized binoculars gyro stabilized 522 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:19,680 stabilized binoculars

watch australia go by here we're just 526 00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:23,360 watch australia go by here we're just 527 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,350 watch australia go by here we're just taking a a quick trip across the 528 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:25,360 taking a a quick trip across the 529 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,430 taking a a quick trip across the northwest corner of australia 530 00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:29,440 531 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,430 this gives you appreciation for how fast 532 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:31,440 this gives you appreciation for how fast 533 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,110 this gives you appreciation for how fast the world is going by 534 00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:33,120 the world is going by 535 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,070 the world is going by even from that that altitude uh this is 536 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:36,080 even from that that altitude uh this is 537 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,430 even from that that altitude uh this is uh pretty much just the 538 00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:37,440 uh pretty much just the 539 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,030 uh pretty much just the camera being fixed pointed out the 540 00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:39,040 camera being fixed pointed out the 541 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,190 camera being fixed pointed out the window taking whatever is 542 00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:41,200 window taking whatever is 543 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,310 window taking whatever is floating by in the in the world below 544 00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:44,320 floating by in the in the world below 545 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,110 floating by in the in the world below and you can see not only the the rate at 546 00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:47,120 and you can see not only the the rate at 547 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,110 and you can see not only the the rate at which the earth goes by but also the 548 00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:49,120 which the earth goes by but also the 549 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,949 which the earth goes by but also the detail that you can see 550 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:50,959 detail that you can see 551 00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:52,550 detail that you can see another thing which always struck me 552 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:52,560 another thing which always struck me 553 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,230 another thing which always struck me going across australia was the 554 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:54,240 going across australia was the 555 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,630 going across australia was the diversity of the color of the ground you 556 00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:56,640 diversity of the color of the ground you 557 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,910 diversity of the color of the ground you can see the uh 558 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:57,920 can see the uh 559 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,389 can see the uh the very very deep blue of the ocean the 560 00:10:00,389 --> 00:10:00,399 the very very deep blue of the ocean the 561 00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:01,030 the very very deep blue of the ocean the the 562 00:10:01,030 --> 00:10:01,040 the 563 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,870 the vivid reds and the bronzes in the soil 564 00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:04,880 vivid reds and the bronzes in the soil 565 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,350 vivid reds and the bronzes in the soil and in some cases an occasional lake 566 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:07,360 and in some cases an occasional lake 567 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,030 and in some cases an occasional lake goes by with a 568 00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:09,040 goes by with a 569 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,870 goes by with a lighter color blue we're finally 570 00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:10,880 lighter color blue we're finally 571 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,230 lighter color blue we're finally crossing the continent and 572 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:12,240 crossing the continent and 573 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,230 crossing the continent and coming out the other side into the 574 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:14,240 coming out the other side into the 575 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,030 coming out the other side into the pacific ocean 576 00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:19,040 pacific ocean 577 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,269 pacific ocean and it was mentioned earlier australia 578 00:10:21,269 --> 00:10:21,279 and it was mentioned earlier australia 579 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:22,790 and it was mentioned earlier australia was one of the clearest places 580 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:22,800 was one of the clearest places 581 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:35,110 was one of the clearest places that we saw on earth 582 00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:35,120 583 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,110 these next few scenes were taken on 584 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:37,120 these next few scenes were taken on 585 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,949 these next few scenes were taken on deployment day 586 00:10:38,949 --> 00:10:38,959 deployment day 587 00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:41,110 deployment day i was respond primarily responsible for 588 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:41,120 i was respond primarily responsible for 589 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,150 i was respond primarily responsible for operating the arm 590 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:42,160 operating the arm 591 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,430 operating the arm and ken was my backup sam was in charge 592 00:10:45,430 --> 00:10:45,440 and ken was my backup sam was in charge 593 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,990 and ken was my backup sam was in charge of our interface with the spacecraft 594 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:48,000 of our interface with the spacecraft 595 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,230 of our interface with the spacecraft jim kept an eye on the space shuttle in 596 00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:50,240 jim kept an eye on the space shuttle in 597 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,990 jim kept an eye on the space shuttle in jail with his rubber hose kept an eye on 598 00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:52,000 jail with his rubber hose kept an eye on 599 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,670 jail with his rubber hose kept an eye on all of us 600 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:53,680 all of us 601 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,790 all of us the unbirthing and extraction of the urs 602 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:56,800 the unbirthing and extraction of the urs 603 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,150 the unbirthing and extraction of the urs payload was actually quite 604 00:10:58,150 --> 00:10:58,160 payload was actually quite 605 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,030 payload was actually quite straightforward a series of commands 606 00:11:01,030 --> 00:11:01,040 straightforward a series of commands 607 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,110 straightforward a series of commands were given the urs to transfer it to its 608 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:03,120 were given the urs to transfer it to its 609 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,150 were given the urs to transfer it to its own battery power source 610 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:06,160 own battery power source 611 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,230 own battery power source and then we flew the arm down and 612 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:08,240 and then we flew the arm down and 613 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,150 and then we flew the arm down and grappled with the fixture on the ur 614 00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:10,160 grappled with the fixture on the ur 615 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,430 grappled with the fixture on the ur spacecraft itself 616 00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:11,440 spacecraft itself 617 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,829 spacecraft itself that was a

electrical power until yours is 639 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,550 back up electrical power until yours is on its own 640 00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:34,560 on its own 641 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,790 on its own this scene shows you ours being gently 642 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:36,800 this scene shows you ours being gently 643 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,030 this scene shows you ours being gently lifted out of the payload bay 644 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:39,040 lifted out of the payload bay 645 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,630 lifted out of the payload bay from our perspective it went quite 646 00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:40,640 from our perspective it went quite 647 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,350 from our perspective it went quite smoothly and was no problem 648 00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:43,360 smoothly and was no problem 649 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,350 smoothly and was no problem we moved the spacecraft from its birth 650 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:45,360 we moved the spacecraft from its birth 651 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,870 we moved the spacecraft from its birth position to its 652 00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:46,880 position to its 653 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,550 position to its release position directly above the 654 00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:48,560 release position directly above the 655 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:54,710 release position directly above the orbiter windows in about 9-10 minutes 656 00:11:54,710 --> 00:11:54,720 657 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,310 as you can see you are's is very 658 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:56,320 as you can see you are's is very 659 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,829 as you can see you are's is very colorful with all the gold 660 00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:57,839 colorful with all the gold 661 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:01,110 colorful with all the gold foil and white capped on protective 662 00:12:01,110 --> 00:12:01,120 foil and white capped on protective 663 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,230 foil and white capped on protective coverings it is not a sleek spacecraft 664 00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:04,240 coverings it is not a sleek spacecraft 665 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,069 coverings it is not a sleek spacecraft by any means but is extremely functional 666 00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:08,079 by any means but is extremely functional 667 00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:10,150 by any means but is extremely functional that spacecraft took up approximately 668 00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:10,160 that spacecraft took up approximately 669 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,230 that spacecraft took up approximately half the payload bay in length and 670 00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:12,240 half the payload bay in length and 671 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:18,470 half the payload bay in length and weighed about uh uh 15 000 pounds 672 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:18,480 673 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,150 it's interesting that the arm is capable 674 00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:20,160 it's interesting that the arm is capable 675 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,150 it's interesting that the arm is capable of lifting that 15 000 pounds in space 676 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:22,160 of lifting that 15 000 pounds in space 677 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,590 of lifting that 15 000 pounds in space and yet it's unable to lift its own 678 00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:23,600 and yet it's unable to lift its own 679 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:31,750 and yet it's unable to lift its own weight in one g 680 00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:31,760 681 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,910 this is a scene in the flight deck with 682 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:33,920 this is a scene in the flight deck with 683 00:12:33,920

from the 695 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,550 conduct the maneuvers away from the spacecraft once we're ready to maneuver 696 00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:46,560 spacecraft once we're ready to maneuver 697 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:47,430 spacecraft once we're ready to maneuver away 698 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:47,440 away 699 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,190 away once the arm was in position right over 700 00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:49,200 once the arm was in position right over 701 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,949 once the arm was in position right over our heads first thing we 702 00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:50,959 our heads first thing we 703 00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:53,509 our heads first thing we did was to deploy the solar array and 704 00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:53,519 did was to deploy the solar array and 705 00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:56,230 did was to deploy the solar array and you can see it's starting to extend now 706 00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:56,240 you can see it's starting to extend now 707 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,990 you can see it's starting to extend now after the solar array is fully deployed 708 00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:58,000 after the solar array is fully deployed 709 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,269 after the solar array is fully deployed as you see in this scene 710 00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:59,279 as you see in this scene 711 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,670 as you see in this scene we then commanded the uh the ground 712 00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:01,680 we then commanded the uh the ground 713 00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,509 we then commanded the uh the ground commanded the high gain antenna which is 714 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:03,519 commanded the high gain antenna which is 715 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:05,110 commanded the high gain antenna which is seen right at the very bottom looks like 716 00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:05,120 seen right at the very bottom looks like 717 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,150 seen right at the very bottom looks like a dish 718 00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:06,160 a dish 719 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,870 a dish into a series of commands which checked 720 00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:08,880 into a series of commands which checked 721 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,310 into a series of commands which checked it out made sure that it was going to be 722 00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:10,320 it out made sure that it was going to be 723 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,150 it out made sure that it was going to be functional 724 00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:12,160 functional 725 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,470 functional this scene shows the actual release of 726 00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:14,480 this scene shows the actual release of 727 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,269 this scene shows the actual release of uars 728 00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:15,279 uars 729 00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:17,350 uars with the mechanical arm the arm is being 730 00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:17,360 with the mechanical arm the arm is being 731 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,069 with the mechanical arm the arm is being backed away from the spacecraft once 732 00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:20,079 backed away from the spacecraft once 733 00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:20,389 backed away from the spacecraft once we're 734 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:20,399 we're 735 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,190 we're well clear we simply put the brakes on 736 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:23,200 well clear we simply put the brakes on 737 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:23,509 well clear we simply put the brakes on and 738 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:23,519 and 739 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:25,430 and turn turn it over to john whose job it 740 00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:25,440 turn turn it over to john whose job it 741 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,990 turn turn it over to john whose job it was to back us away 742 00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:28,000 was to back us away 743 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,750 was to back us away once we got well clear of the spacecraft 744 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:29,760 once we got well clear of the spacecraft 745 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,509 once we got well clear of the spacecraft with the arm we put in about a two foot 746 00:13:31,509 --> 00:13:31,519 with the arm we put in about a two foot 747 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,590 with the arm we put in about a two foot per second separation burn 748 00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:33,600 per second separation burn 749 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,190 per second separation burn it was a forward jet burn so that caused 750 00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:37,200 it was a forward jet burn so that caused 751 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,310 it was a forward jet burn so that caused the payload to actually 752 00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:38,320 the payload to actually 753 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,350 the payload to actually come right over the cockpit in fairly 754 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:41,360 come right over the cockpit in fairly 755 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,949 come right over the cockpit in fairly quick manner and because we had released 756 00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:42,959 quick manner and because we had released 757 00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:44,790 quick manner and because we had released it at night we were really afraid that 758 00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:44,800 it at night we were really afraid that 759 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,310 it at night we were really afraid that we were going to immediately lose sight 760 00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:46,320 we were going to immediately lose sight 761 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,990 we were going to immediately lose sight of the spacecraft and in fact i 762 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:48,000 of the spacecraft and in fact i 763 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,550 of the spacecraft and in fact i did however we had a one camcorder that 764 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:50,560 did however we had a one camcorder that 765 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,150 did however we had a one camcorder that was mounted in the overhead window that 766 00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:52,160 was mounted in the overhead window that 767 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,910 was mounted in the overhead window that managed to keep side of the payload for 768 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:53,920 managed to keep side of the payload for 769 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,629 managed to keep side of the payload for a little while 770 00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:54,639 a little while 771 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:56,550 a little while as it gradually receded away and just 772 00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:56,560 as it gradually receded away and just 773 00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:57,750 as it gradually receded away and just disappeared into the 774 00:13:57,750 --> 00:13:57,760 disappeared into the 775 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:11,350 disappeared into the inky black of night 776 00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:11,360 777 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,949 the life of the urs uh

00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,949 after we were safely away from the urs we started to 838 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:06,959 we started to 839 00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:08,790 we started to to work some other experiments we had on 840 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:08,800 to work some other experiments we had on 841 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,389 to work some other experiments we had on board this one happens to be 842 00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:10,399 board this one happens to be 843 00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,870 board this one happens to be the modular dynamic experiment called 844 00:15:12,870 --> 00:15:12,880 the modular dynamic experiment called 845 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,629 the modular dynamic experiment called mode 846 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:14,639 mode 847 00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:17,189 mode it was built and constructed by mit with 848 00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:17,199 it was built and constructed by mit with 849 00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:18,710 it was built and constructed by mit with its own computer on board 850 00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:18,720 its own computer on board 851 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,750 its own computer on board the idea of mode is to 852 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:21,760 the idea of mode is to 853 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,189 the idea of mode is to do testing on fluids on orbit to see how 854 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:25,199 do testing on fluids on orbit to see how 855 00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:28,069 do testing on fluids on orbit to see how fluids respond inside a container 856 00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:28,079 fluids respond inside a container 857 00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:30,550 fluids respond inside a container to different frequency and amplitude 858 00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:30,560 to different frequency and amplitude 859 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,350 to different frequency and amplitude responses 860 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:31,360 responses 861 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,790 responses this particular little vessel had 862 00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:34,800 this particular little vessel had 863 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,230 this particular little vessel had silicon oil in it mark is trying to line 864 00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:38,240 silicon oil in it mark is trying to line 865 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,030 silicon oil in it mark is trying to line the oil bubble at the bottom 866 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:41,040 the oil bubble at the bottom 867 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,990 the oil bubble at the bottom of the container so that when we excited 868 00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:44,000 of the container so that when we excited 869 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,470 of the container so that when we excited it 870 00:15:44,470 --> 00:15:44,480 it 871 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,829 it we could look at the dynamics and 872 00:15:45,829 --> 00:15:45,839 we could look at the dynamics and 873 00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:47,990 we could look at the dynamics and interaction between the container walls 874 00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:48,000 interaction between the container walls 875 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,430 interaction between the container walls and the surface tension 876 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:49,440 and the surface tension 877 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,430 and the surface tension you had to be a little careful in 878 00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:51,440 you had to be a little careful in 879 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,230 you had to be a little careful in maneuvering it around to keep that 880 00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:54,240 maneuvering it around to keep that 881 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,189 maneuvering it around to keep that meniscus aligned but on orbit it was 882 00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:57,199 meniscus aligned but on orbit it was 883 00:15:57,199 --> 00:15:58,710 meniscus aligned but on orbit it was much easier to do than it was 884 00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:58,720 much easier to do than it was 885 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,189 much easier to do than it was here on the ground we also had a very 886 00:16:01,189 --> 00:16:01,199 here on the ground we also had a very 887 00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:02,550 here on the ground we also had a very large structure 888 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:02,560 large structure 889 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,069 large structure that we were interested in this is a 890 00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:04,079 that we were interested in this is a 891 00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:05,590 that we were interested in this is a particular this structure 892 00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:05,600 particular this structure 893 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,749 particular this structure is instrumented hooked into the computer 894 00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:09,759 is instrumented hooked into the computer 895 00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:12,470 is instrumented hooked into the computer it replicates the scale model of what we 896 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:12,480 it replicates the scale model of what we 897 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:12,790 it replicates the scale model of what we think 898 00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:12,800 think 899 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,870 think the space station will look like and 900 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:14,880 the space station will look like and 901 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,230 the space station will look like and we're interested in looking at the 902 00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:16,240 we're interested in looking at the 903 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,790 we're interested in looking at the dynamics and the harmonics 904 00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:18,800 dynamics and the harmonics 905 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,829 dynamics and the harmonics associated with a large structure and 906 00:16:20,829 --> 00:16:20,839 associated with a large structure and 907 00:16:20,839 --> 00:16:23,509 associated with a large structure and weightlessness 908 00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:23,519 weightlessness 909 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,590 weightlessness when it was completed the structure was 910 00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:25,600 when it was completed the structure was 911 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,870 when it was completed the structure was about seven feet 912 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:26,880 about seven feet 913 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,949 about seven feet in length we lightly tethered it on the 914 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:28,959 in length we lightly tethered it on the 915 00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:30,310 in length we lightly tethered it on the mid deck so that it wouldn't 916 00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:30,320 mid deck so that it wouldn't 917 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,829 mid deck so that it wouldn't float away and and contaminate the data 918 00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:33,839 float away and and contaminate the data 919 00:16:33,839 --> 00:16:36,310 float away and and contaminate the data then we ran a series of frequency sweeps 920 00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:36,320 then we ran a series of frequency sweeps 921 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,310 then we ran a series of frequency sweeps across the structure to see what 922 00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:38,320 across the structure to see what 923 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,910 across the structure to see what different harmonics would be excited 924 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:41,920 different harmonics would be excited 925 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,829 different harmonics would be excited by the actuator which is on the bottom 926 00:16:43,829 --> 00:16:43,839 by the actuator which is on the bottom 927 00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:49,189 by the actuator which is on the bottom of the structure 928 00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:49,199 929 00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:52,310 yeah as on orbit as uh down here the day 930 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:52,320 yeah as on orbit as uh down here the day 931 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,910 yeah as on orbit as uh down here the day gradually comes to an end and it's time 932 00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:53,920 gradually comes to an end and it's time 933 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,590 gradually comes to an end and it's time to go to bed 934 00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:55,600 to go to bed 935 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,150 to go to bed here you can see uh sam uh comfortably 936 00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:58,160 here you can see uh sam uh comfortably 937 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,670 here you can see uh sam uh comfortably tucked away in his sleeping bag 938 00:17:01,670 --> 00:17:01,680 939 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:14,549 jim hasn't uh quite gotten to bed yet 940 00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:14,559 941 00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:15,990 sometimes we were tethered out in the 942 00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:16,000 sometimes we were tethered out in the 943 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,990 sometimes we were tethered out in the middle and sometimes people slept 944 00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:18,000 middle and sometimes people slept 945 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,829 middle and sometimes people slept against the walls uh here you see me 946 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:21,839 against the walls uh here you see me 947 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,069 against the walls uh here you see me putting on a series of electrodes this 948 00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:24,079 putting on a series of electrodes this 949 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:24,949 putting on a series of electrodes this was a 950 00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:24,959 was a 951 00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:28,870 was a 24-hour heart halter i took ekg data 24 952 00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:28,880 24-hour heart halter i took ekg data 24 953 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,630 24-hour heart halter i took ekg data 24 hours continuous and 954 00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:30,640 hours continuous and 955 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,950 hours continuous and monitored blood pressure took blood 956 00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:32,960 monitored blood pressure took blood 957 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,630 monitored blood pressure took blood pressure measurements every 20 minutes 958 00:17:34,630 --> 00:17:34,640 pressure measurements every 20 minutes 959 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,070 pressure measurements every 20 minutes and most of this research is being done 960 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:36,080 and most of this research is being done 961 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,789 and most of this research is being done for the extended duration orbiter 962 00:17:40,789 --> 00:17:40,799 963 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:42,870 morning started with the normal ritual 964 00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:42,880 morning started with the normal ritual 965 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,549 morning started with the normal ritual of getting getting up and getting 966 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:44,559 of getting getting up and getting 967 00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:45,750 of getting getting up and getting cleaned up 968 00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:45,760 cleaned up 969 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,029 cleaned up we used primarily electric razors to 970 00:17:49,029 --> 00:17:49,039 we used primarily electric razors to 971 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:51,350 we used primarily electric razors to take care of the stubble problem that 972 00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:51,360 take care of the stubble problem that 973 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:54,789 take care of the stubble problem that all worked quite well 974 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:54,799 975 00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:57,029 after that we generally would get ready 976 00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:57,039 after that we generally would get ready 977 00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:59,110 after that we generally would get ready to have our morning meal 978 00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:59,120 to have our morning meal 979 00:17:59,120 -->

and spy on us but taking 1031 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,590 would try and spy on us but taking control of some of the 1032 00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:51,600 control of some of the 1033 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,430 control of some of the aft cameras and shining them towards the 1034 00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:53,440 aft cameras and shining them towards the 1035 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,789 aft cameras and shining them towards the cockpit 1036 00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:54,799 cockpit 1037 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:56,470 cockpit we mentioned early on that most of the 1038 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:56,480 we mentioned early on that most of the 1039 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,150 we mentioned early on that most of the northern hemisphere was uh 1040 00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:58,160 northern hemisphere was uh 1041 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,750 northern hemisphere was uh in darkness when we were up there here 1042 00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:59,760 in darkness when we were up there here 1043 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,750 in darkness when we were up there here was one of the uh because of that we had 1044 00:19:01,750 --> 00:19:01,760 was one of the uh because of that we had 1045 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,029 was one of the uh because of that we had the opportunity to see the 1046 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:03,039 the opportunity to see the 1047 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,270 the opportunity to see the northern lights or the auroras up there 1048 00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:05,280 northern lights or the auroras up there 1049 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,110 northern lights or the auroras up there very spectacular 1050 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:07,120 very spectacular 1051 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,110 very spectacular generally tended to be centered around 1052 00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:09,120 generally tended to be centered around 1053 00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:11,110 generally tended to be centered around the northeastern canada around the 1054 00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:11,120 the northeastern canada around the 1055 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,470 the northeastern canada around the hudson bay area 1056 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:12,480 hudson bay area 1057 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,750 hudson bay area

of its 1060 00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:15,120 camera to take advantage of its 1061 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,630 camera to take advantage of its low-light capabilities 1062 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:16,640 low-light capabilities 1063 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,909 low-light capabilities the aurora itself as you saw or may know 1064 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:19,919 the aurora itself as you saw or may know 1065 00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:22,870 the aurora itself as you saw or may know as a bluish-green color occasionally you 1066 00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:22,880 as a bluish-green color occasionally you 1067 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,630 as a bluish-green color occasionally you get some other colors blues and reds in 1068 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:24,640 get some other colors blues and reds in 1069 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,310 get some other colors blues and reds in there 1070 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:28,320 1071 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,549 here's another view of the uh the ice 1072 00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:30,559 here's another view of the uh the ice 1073 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:31,590 here's another view of the uh the ice pack with 1074 00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:31,600 pack with 1075 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,990 pack with some of the islands are peeking out at 1076 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:34,000 some of the islands are peeking out at 1077 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,110 some of the islands are peeking out at the top 1078 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:35,120 the top 1079 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:37,190 the top the the opportunity to see a lot of that 1080 00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:37,200 the the opportunity to see a lot of that 1081 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,870 the the opportunity to see a lot of that ice was really spectacular 1082 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:38,880 ice was really spectacular 1083 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,909 ice was really spectacular first because it was in such a clear 1084 00:19:41,909 --> 00:19:41,919 first because it was in such a clear 1085 00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:46,470 first because it was in such a clear part of the world 1086 00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:46,480 1087 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,990 did not look like a good place to 1088 00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:48,000 did not look like a good place to 1089 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,110 did not look like a good place to vacation by the way 1090 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:51,120 vacation by the way 1091 00:19:51,120 --> 00:20:06,950 vacation by the way however the air was clear 1092 00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:06,960 however the air was clear 1093 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,830 however the air was clear i i thought that uh the opportunity to 1094 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:09,840 i i thought that uh the opportunity to 1095 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,149 i i thought that uh the opportunity to take 1096 00:20:10,149 --> 00:20:10,159 take 1097 00:20:10,159 --> 00:20:12,470 take pictures and use all those uh cameras 1098 00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:12,480 pictures and use all those uh cameras 1099 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,590 pictures and use all those uh cameras was one of the greatest 1100 00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:13,600 was one of the greatest 1101 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,230 was one of the greatest thrills of of being in space flight and 1102 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:16,240 thrills of of being in space flight and 1103 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,750 thrills of of being in space flight and uh as john mentioned 1104 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:17,760 uh as john mentioned 1105 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,590 uh as john mentioned a lot of times we were actually able to 1106 00:20:19,590 --> 00:20:19,600 a lot of times we were actually able to 1107 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,870 a lot of times we were actually able to see lights at night 1108 00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:20,880 see lights at night 1109 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,990 see lights at night and the detail that is the nile delta 1110 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:24,000 and the detail that is the nile delta 1111 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,430 and the detail that is the nile delta that's the city of cairo right there at 1112 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:25,440 that's the city of cairo right there at 1113 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,190 that's the city of cairo right there at the top and then you just follow the 1114 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:27,200 the top and then you just follow the 1115 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,549 the top and then you just follow the nile river on down here and there 1116 00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:28,559 nile river on down here and there 1117 00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:30,870 nile river on down here and there literally is a river of light at night 1118 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:30,880 literally is a river of light at night 1119 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,390 literally is a river of light at night the sahara on either side there's 1120 00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:32,400 the sahara on either side there's 1121 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,870 the sahara on either side there's nothing and then but where there's water 1122 00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:34,880 nothing and then but where there's water 1123 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,270 nothing and then but where there's water there's population the lights right up 1124 00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:37,280 there's population the lights right up 1125 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,430 there's population the lights right up here are just the edge of the red sea 1126 00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:39,440 here are just the edge of the red sea 1127 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,270 here are just the edge of the red sea and this uh river in the nile river just 1128 00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:41,280 and this uh river in the nile river just 1129 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,430 and this uh river in the nile river just continues right on down with the 1130 00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:43,440 continues right on down with the 1131 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,149 continues right on down with the population showing there at night 1132 00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:46,159 population showing there at night 1133 00:20:46,159 --> 00:20:47,990 population showing there at night until you get to the aswan dam and then 1134 00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:48,000 until you get to the aswan dam and then 1135 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,950 until you get to the aswan dam and then it just stops abruptly 1136 00:20:54,950 --> 00:20:54,960 1137 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,630 these are the galapagos islands you 1138 00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:56,640 these are the galapagos islands you 1139 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,390 these are the galapagos islands you notice the tips of the cones of 1140 00:20:58,390 --> 00:20:58,400 notice the tips of the cones of 1141 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:08,070 notice the tips of the cones of volcanoes sticking up through the clouds 1142 00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:08,080 1143 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,590 this was the granddaddy of all the 1144 00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:09,600 this was the granddaddy of all the 1145 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,510 this was the granddaddy of all the cameras we carried on board this was the 1146 00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:11,520 cameras we carried on board this was the 1147 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,950 cameras we carried on board this was the linhof each negative there is about five 1148 00:21:14,950 --> 00:21:14,960 linhof each negative there is about five 1149 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,549 linhof each negative there is about five inches square 1150 00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:16,559 inches square 1151 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:18,390 inches square one of the more spectacular things that 1152 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:18,400 one of the more spectacular things that 1153 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,470 one of the more spectacular things that we saw uh while we were up there was a 1154 00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:20,480 we saw uh while we were up there was a 1155 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,830 we saw uh while we were up there was a night pass 1156 00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:21,840 night pass 1157 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,830 night pass well we saw it on almost every rev over 1158 00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:23,840 well we saw it on almost every rev over 1159 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,230 well we saw it on almost every rev over the united states that we passed over 1160 00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:26,240 the united states that we passed over 1161 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,310 the united states that we passed over here you see uh chicago coming into

level television capable to 1356 00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:24,720 capable to 1357 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,310 capable to to see that sort of thing 1358 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:28,320 to see that sort of thing 1359 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,269 to see that sort of thing well unfortunately all good things uh 1360 00:25:31,269 --> 00:25:31,279 well unfortunately all good things uh 1361 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:34,070 well unfortunately all good things uh come to an end 1362 00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:34,080 1363 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,070 and uh the setting sun sort of 1364 00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:36,080 and uh the setting sun sort of 1365 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,430 and uh the setting sun sort of symbolized that it was time to go home 1366 00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:39,440 symbolized that it was time to go home 1367 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,230 symbolized that it was time to go home as the opposite of when we get on orbit 1368 00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:42,240 as the opposite of when we get on orbit 1369 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,510 as the opposite of when we get on orbit one of the first things we do is 1370 00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:43,520 one of the first things we do is 1371 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,110 one of the first things we do is open up the payload bay doors one of the 1372 00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:45,120 open up the payload bay doors one of the 1373 00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,029 open up the payload bay doors one of the last things we do is 1374 00:25:47,029 --> 00:25:47,039 last things we do is 1375 00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:48,470 last things we do is close the payload bay doors in 1376 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:48,480 close the payload bay doors in 1377 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:56,310 close the payload bay doors in preparation for coming home 1378 00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:56,320 preparation for coming home 1379 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,590 preparation for coming home a very empty payload bay 1380 00:25:59,590 --> 00:25:59,600 a very empty payload bay 1381 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:00,950 a very empty payload bay but that's good because that means a 1382 00:26:00,950 --> 00:26:00,960 but that's good because that means a 1383 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,590 but that's good because that means a successful mission 1384 00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:05,600 1385 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,549 here i am doing the final portion of 1386 00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:08,559 here i am doing the final portion of 1387 00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:10,230 here i am doing the final portion of getting suited up here putting my helmet 1388 00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:10,240 getting suited up here putting my helmet 1389 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,190 getting suited up here putting my helmet on my 1390 00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:11,200 on my 1391 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,549 on my pressure suit that we wear for launch 1392 00:26:12,549 --> 00:26:12,559 pressure suit that we wear for launch 1393 00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:14,630 pressure suit that we wear for launch and entry 1394 00:26:14,630 --> 00:26:14,640 and entry 1395 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,190 and entry and now you can begin to see the glow of 1396 00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:17,200 and now you can begin to see the glow of 1397 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,549 and now you can begin to see the glow of the ionized air 1398 00:26:18,549 --> 00:26:18,559 the ionized air 1399 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:22,390 the ionized air over the windows we we started out 1400 00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:22,400 over the windows we we started out 1401 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,590 over the windows we we started out did the deorbit burn over 1402 00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:25,600 did the deorbit burn over 1403 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,750 did the deorbit burn over africa came all the way across the 1404 00:26:27,750 --> 00:26:27,760 africa came all the way across the 1405 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,350 africa came all the way across the indian ocean across the pacific 1406 00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:29,360 indian ocean across the pacific 1407 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:34,230 indian ocean across the pacific and landed at edwards air force base 1408 00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:34,240 1409 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,149 four of us were up on the flight deck 1410 00:26:36,149 --> 00:26:36,159 four of us were up on the flight deck 1411 00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:37,350 four of us were up on the flight deck and for entry 1412 00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:37,360 and for entry 1413 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:38,789 and for entry sam was down in the mid deck here you 1414 00:26:38,789 --> 00:26:38,799 sam was down in the mid deck here you 1415 00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:41,350 sam was down in the mid deck here you can start to see the recombining of the 1416 00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:41,360 can start to see the recombining of the 1417 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:41,669 can start to see the recombining of the uh 1418 00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:41,679 uh 1419 00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:43,350 uh the plasma this that surrounds the 1420 00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:43,360 the plasma this that surrounds the 1421 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:44,710 the plasma this that surrounds the orbiter on re-entry 1422 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:44,720 orbiter on re-entry 1423 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,549 orbiter on re-entry and it recombines up on top of the 1424 00:26:46,549 --> 00:26:46,559 and it recombines up on top of the 1425 00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:48,630 and it recombines up on top of the orbiter and although it looks like 1426 00:26:48,630 --> 00:26:48,640 orbiter and although it looks like 1427 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,390 orbiter and although it looks like it might be the tip of the tail this is 1428 00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:50,400 it might be the tip of the tail this is 1429 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,310 it might be the tip of the tail this is actually just a very hot uh 1430 00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:52,320 actually just a very hot uh 1431 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,909 actually just a very hot uh gas that recombines on top as we plunge 1432 00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:55,919 gas that recombines on top as we plunge 1433 00:26:55,919 --> 00:26:57,909 gas that recombines on top as we plunge down into the atmosphere 1434 00:26:57,909 --> 00:26:57,919 down into the atmosphere 1435 00:26:57,919 --> 00:26:58,950 down into the atmosphere you're starting to see if you look at 1436 00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:58,960 you're starting to see if you look at 1437 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,070 you're starting to see if you look at this car you can see a little bit of 1438 00:27:00,070 --> 00:27:00,080 this car you can see a little bit of 1439 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,750 this car you can see a little bit of shaking going on as we went through 1440 00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:01,760 shaking going on as we went through 1441 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,950 shaking going on as we went through mach 14 or 14 times the speed of sound 1442 00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:06,960 mach 14 or 14 times the speed of sound 1443 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,470 mach 14 or 14 times the speed of sound then you can see a little bit of the the 1444 00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:08,480 then you can see a little bit of the the 1445 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,310 then you can see a little bit of the the boundary layer being tripped here by the 1446 00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:10,320 boundary layer being tripped here by the 1447 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,549 boundary layer being tripped here by the windows and this white spidery uh 1448 00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:12,559 windows and this white spidery uh 1449 00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:14,789 windows and this white spidery uh uh almost looked like a st elmo's fire 1450 00:27:14,789 --> 00:27:14,799 uh almost looked like a st elmo's fire 1451 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,390 uh almost looked like a st elmo's fire dancing on the windows 1452 00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:16,400 dancing on the windows 1453 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,070 dancing on the windows here were the long range cameras from 1454 00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:18,080 here were the long range cameras from 1455 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,549 here were the long range cameras from vandenberg ir cameras taking pictures of 1456 00:27:20,549 --> 00:27:20,559 vandenberg ir cameras taking pictures of 1457 00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:21,350 vandenberg ir cameras taking pictures of us as 1458 00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:21,360 us as 1459 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,070 us as we came in over southern california and 1460 00:27:24,070 --> 00:27:24,080 we came in over southern california and 1461 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,830 we came in over southern california and you can start to see the the delta shape 1462 00:27:25,830 --> 00:27:25,840 you can start to see the the delta shape 1463 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,029 you can start to see the the delta shape of the orbiter 1464 00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:27,039 of the orbiter 1465 00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:29,430 of the orbiter again another ir shot taken from the 1466 00:27:29,430 --> 00:27:29,440 again another ir shot taken from the 1467 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,110 again another ir shot taken from the ground at edwards air force base as we 1468 00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:31,120 ground at edwards air force base as we 1469 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:32,549 ground at edwards air force base as we make our final descent 1470 00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:32,559 make our final descent 1471 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:35,190 make our final descent into the runway and then coming through 1472 00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:35,200 into the runway and then coming through 1473 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,710 into the runway and then coming through the bright lights that uh the xenon 1474 00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:36,720 the bright lights that uh the xenon 1475 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,149 the bright lights that uh the xenon lights that are we used to 1476 00:27:38,149 --> 00:27:38,159 lights that are we used to 1477 00:27:38,159 --> 00:27:42,870 lights that are we used to illuminate the runway we uh touch down 1478 00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:42,880 illuminate the runway we uh touch down 1479 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,310 illuminate the runway we uh touch down and roll out about 9000 feet to a 1480 00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:46,320 and roll out about 9000 feet to a 1481 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,310 and roll out about 9000 feet to a to a safe and conclusion to a very 1482 00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:50,320 to a safe and conclusion to a very 1483 00:27:50,320 --> 00:28:01,190 to a safe and conclusion to a very successful mission 1484 00:28:01,190 --> 00:28:01,200 1485 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,909 and after five days eight hours and
