00:04:23,310 got to the launch minus 3 our point was 101 00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:25,440 time for us to depart the crew quarters 102 00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:26,560 where we'd been 103 00:04:29,550 -->

controlling program 112 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:33,970 in contrast to the vibration and noise 113 00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:35,810 during first stage on the solid rocket 114 00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:38,270 boosters the ride during second stage on 115 00:05:44,530 --> 00:05:40,070 the main engines is smooth all the way 116 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:44,540 to Meco once on orbit we had to 117 00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:46,310 concentrate on our first major objective 118 00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:47,960 of the mission that was the retrieval of 119 00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:50,510 the japanese space flyer unit or sfu 120 00:05:56,350 --> 00:05:54,320 satellite here you see a good shot of 121 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,360 the sfu and it's with its solar arrays 122 00:06:01,060 --> 00:05:58,880 deployed it was critical for the solar 123 00:06:04,930 --> 00:06:01,070 arrays to be retracted and latched prior 124 00:06:07,540 --> 00:06:04,940 to the SF use retrieval as we closed 125 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:07,550 inside of a half a mile of sfu you can 126 00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:09,890 see brian firing the Jets primary RCS 127 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:11,840 Jets to slow down endeavours closure 128 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:14,210 rate on the satellite meanwhile quechee 129 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:15,890 and Winston are in the front cockpit 130 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:18,710 part of the cockpit monitoring the solar 131 00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:20,210 array retraction which didn't go very 132 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,390 well due to the fact that we didn't have 133 00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:25,520 Latin indication of the solar array 134 00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:28,760 panels of sfu the sagamihara operation 135 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:31,100 center located in japan send commands to 136 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:34,130 jettison the two solar arrays to safely 137 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:39,770 return the sfu to earth brian maneuver 138 00:06:43,540 --> 00:06:41,930 the orbiter to a distance within the 139 00:06:48,130 --> 00:06:43,550 grapple range of the shuttle's robotic 140 00:06:57,310 --> 00:06:48,140 arm and then I started to maneuver the 141 00:07:03,380 --> 00:07:00,250 this is the moment of the capture of 142 00:07:05,870 --> 00:07:03,390 sfun this was the end of the 10-month 143 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:05,880 voyage of the space floor unit since it 144 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:08,010 had been launched by a japanese HD 145 00:07:28,129 --> 00:07:24,619 ce qui Chi concentrating here as he gets 146 00:07:31,159 --> 00:07:28,139 ready to do a birth the satellite after 147 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:31,169 grandpa the sfu was maneuvered to to be 148 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:38,400 birthed in the payload Bay like he's 149 00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:44,610 ready to slam dunk that one and then 150 00:07:49,249 --> 00:07:46,620 orbiters electrical power was supplied 151 00:07:57,860 --> 00:07:49,259 to the SF use the heater system through 152 00:07:59,570 --> 00:07:57,870 this electrical umbilical and it was a 153 00:08:02,420 --> 00:07:59,580 great moment excuse me it was great 154 00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:02,430 moment to have accomplished the first of 155 00:08:07,339 --> 00:08:05,550 the many objectives of this mission even 156 00:08:09,499 --> 00:08:07,349 though the space lawyer was our primary 157 00:08:11,330 --> 00:08:09,509 said like to deploy and retrieve a 158 00:08:13,339 --> 00:08:11,340 second set like that oast was equally 159 00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:13,349 exciting all since the office of 160 00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:14,430 aeronautics and space technology 161 00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:16,289 satellite it consisted of four 162 00:08:20,269 --> 00:08:17,969 experiments which were really pretty 163 00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:20,279 much autonomous once we released it and 164 00:08:23,629 --> 00:08:22,289 you can see co Ichi work in the arm here 165 00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:23,639 actually to see the arm of couch is 166 00:08:29,119 --> 00:08:26,639 flagging inside he releases it and it's 167 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:29,129 going to go into a pirouette maneuver to 168 00:08:34,069 --> 00:08:31,440 check its automatic control system as 169 00:08:35,449 --> 00:08:34,079 active control system now when we were 170 00:08:36,829 --> 00:08:35,459 inside the shuttle of course we were 171 00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:36,839 thinking about how the satellite was 172 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:38,310 going to perform which is a very 173 00:08:41,449 --> 00:08:40,169 technical thing it was only after I 174 00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:41,459 looked at the film after where the guy 175 00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,620 could reflect on really the majesty of 176 00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:45,839 the satellite and watch when the earth 177 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:47,550 comes into view at the lower left hand 178 00:08:51,620 --> 00:08:50,250 side and as the satellite does its turn 179 00:08:53,540 --> 00:08:51,630 then you going to see the sunlight 180 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:53,550 hitting again reflecting off of its gold 181 00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:55,410 coating I think it's really something 182 00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:57,630 Brett's flying the orbiter co e cheese 183 00:09:01,220 --> 00:08:59,370 working arm Dan's taking pictures 184 00:09:02,810 --> 00:09:01,230 everybody is pretty busy inside but I 185 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:02,820 tell you it was really exciting time 186 00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:04,890 we're backing away from this thing and 187 00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:07,110 again you're going to see a nice view of 188 00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:10,040 the earth below incidentally this 189 00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:12,329 picture of this deployment took place 190 00:09:17,569 --> 00:09:15,000 over the Namibian desert and the 191 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,579 southern part of the African continent 192 00:09:21,710 --> 00:09:19,680 and take a look at the clouds take a 193 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:21,720 look at the synthetic object flying over 194 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,370 the natural objects below I think it was 195 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:25,360 out of sight 196 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:27,530 here we are getting ready

--> 00:09:41,660 on the first EV a I'm opening up the 203 00:09:47,170 --> 00:09:44,210 thermal cover and taking my first peek 204 00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:47,180 outside I was prepared for an awesome 205 00:09:52,510 --> 00:09:49,640 view but I didn't expect to really get 206 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:52,520 what I what I got which was a big 3d 207 00:10:03,900 --> 00:09:54,650 perspective because of all the the 208 00:10:15,210 --> 00:10:07,530 you're dancing hey let me help to his 209 00:10:16,890 --> 00:10:15,220 feet so you here we are putting together 210 00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:16,900 the portable work platform one of the 211 00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:19,030 major objectives of the first EV a that 212 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:21,040 will be used in future station build 213 00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:24,130 flights and here Dan is past I'm passing 214 00:10:30,290 --> 00:10:27,220 up to Dan the portable foot workstation 215 00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:30,300 stanchion and he'll put that on the arm 216 00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:32,950 here we've deployed the rigid umbilical 217 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:34,390 which was another big piece of hardware 218 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:36,160 that we were using and you can see I'm 219 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:39,130 handling this 250-pound mass pretty much 220 00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:43,930 with with no problems at all i think 221 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:46,960 that the essence of a successfully VA's 222 00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:49,690 is really the same as as what Brian 223 00:10:55,710 --> 00:10:51,160 mentioned for the rest of spaceflight 224 00:10:59,400 --> 00:10:55,720 and that word is really teamwork both 225 00:11:02,040 --> 00:10:59,410 inside the the bay with Leroy and I and 226 00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:02,050 also with Brent and Koichi as they flew 227 00:11:06,570 --> 00:11:04,630 the arm and also with Houston as we 228 00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:06,580 coordinated all the different difficult 229 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:09,190 tasks we had to do brenton Quechee were 230 00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:10,930 able to drive the arm to the place that 231 00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:13,480 Leroy and I needed to be at precisely 232 00:11:30,930 --> 00:11:29,280 this was really the high point of the 233 00:11:34,019 --> 00:11:30,940 mission for me both figuratively and 234 00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:34,029 literally as Quechee drove me on the arm 235 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:36,700 up high above the payload Bay for me to 236 00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:38,370 test some of the work platform 237 00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:43,660 techniques that we had had practiced the 238 00:11:46,829 --> 00:11:45,279 second rendezvous the mission to 239 00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:46,839 retrieve the old satellite went 240 00:11:52,319 --> 00:11:50,320 extremely well as we closed inside a 600 241 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:52,329 feet in Deborah was on a nearly perfect 242 00:11:57,389 --> 00:11:55,170 trajectory to achieved in rendezvous 243 00:11:58,500 --> 00:11:57,399 Brian the commander must been feeling 244 00:12:00,930 --> 00:11:58,510 really comfortable about the whole thing 245 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:00,940 he figures it's safe enough to even let 246 00:12:07,079 --> 00:12:05,170 his PLT fly for a little bit you notice 247 00:12:09,060 --> 00:12:07,089 the expression on my face as I moved to 248 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:09,070 the a flight deck it was a pretty 249 00:12:13,380 --> 00:12:11,050 exciting time for me to get a chance to 250 00:12:17,220 --> 00:12:13,390 fly the shuttle in close proximity you 251 00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:17,230 know to another spacecraft endeavour 252 00:12:22,019 --> 00:12:19,540 flies extremely well as it sits very 253 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:22,029 stable it flies even better than the 254 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:24,970 simulators we have here at JSC and very 255 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:27,190 soon we were able to maneuver host 256 00:12:34,319 --> 00:12:30,250 within the grapple range of the robotic 257 00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:34,329 arm the next view you're about to see is 258 00:12:38,220 --> 00:12:36,190 from the camera that's on the end of the 259 00:12:40,980 --> 00:12:38,230 robotic arm it's the same view that 260 00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:40,990 coochie is usable used to affect the 261 00:12:45,449 --> 00:12:43,360 capture of the satellite and you'll 262 00:12:47,699 --> 00:12:45,459 watch and once the satellite stabilizes 263 00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:47,709 you'll see quechee aligned the target on 264 00:13:02,489 --> 00:12:50,560 the satellite and then smoothly and 265 00:13:09,089 --> 00:13:06,289 and just like that the man was 242 and 266 00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:09,099 you very quickly had two satellites 267 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:16,539 tucked safely in the payload Bay now EBA 268 00:13:21,059 --> 00:13:19,689 to like EBA one was six hours and fifty 269 00:13:23,849 --> 00:13:21,069 something minutes worth of hardware 270 00:13:25,289 --> 00:13:23,859 intensive EBA we're evaluating all kinds 271 00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:25,299 of tools and techniques that might be 272 00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:26,949 used in the construction of a space 273 00:13:33,209 --> 00:13:30,399 station now this looks like some kind of 274 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:33,219 weird space exercise but actually what 275 00:13:38,369 --> 00:13:35,649 I'm doing is imparting loads to the task 276 00:13:40,229 --> 00:13:38,379 plate in which my feet are connected the 277 00:13:41,849 --> 00:13:40,239 sensors in the volume of that plate that 278 00:13:45,749 --> 00:13:41,859 will sense the loads and make recordings 279 00:13:47,669 --> 00:13:45,759 of that loans data as I said it was 280 00:13:50,249 --> 00:13:47,679 hardware intensive we had electronic 281 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:50,259 checklist power tools rejig umbilicals 282 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:52,529 electrical fluid line connectors 283 00:13:56,309 --> 00:13:54,399 electrical connectors fluid line 284 00:13:58,259 --> 00:13:56,319 connectors improved helmet lights you 285 00:13:59,789 --> 00:13:58,269 name it we had it we had stuff hanging 286 00:14:03,929 --> 00:13:59,799 off of us everywhere we could set off 287 00:14:06,689 --> 00:14:03,939 metal detectors from orbit now one of 288 00:14:08,579 --> 00:14:06,699 the highlights of this EBA was built to 289 00:14:10,439 --> 00:14:08,589 be a thermal evaluation to test 290 00:14:12,569 --> 00:14:10,449 improvements to the suit but it's time 291 00:14:14,429 --> 00:14:12,579 for the truth to come out the truth is 292 00:14:16,439 --> 00:14:14,439 that I was a bad boy and I was told to 293 00:14:18,239 --> 00:14:16,449 go stand in the corner so I'm stood in 294 00:14:20,309 --> 00:14:18,249 the corner and got cold all morning I 295 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:20,319 stood in the corner and got cold all 296 00:14:27,329 --> 00:14:24,970 afternoon I guys stood in the corner I 297 00:14:30,929 --> 00:14:27,339 got cold all night and nobody would come 298 00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:30,939 out and play with me no I all 299 00:14:34,739 --> 00:14:32,889 seriousness the thermal evaluation work 300 00:14:35,969 --> 00:14:34,749 extremely well I think we've got a good 301 00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:35,979 suit and we're going to go build the 302 00:14:40,769 --> 00:14:38,769 space station here we are at the end of 303 00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:40,779 the second dva and while i wait for 304 00:14:44,489 --> 00:14:42,759 winston to a button up his slide wire 305 00:14:46,049 --> 00:14:44,499 I've kind of climbed up the bulkhead and 306 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:46,059 taking a peek inside to see what the 307 00:14:50,789 --> 00:14:48,399 guys inside are doing and here we are 308 00:14:53,069 --> 00:14:50,799 coming in and closing up the thermal 309 00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:53,079 cover and getting ready for the repress 310 00:15:04,260 --> 00:14:55,590 for the last time 311 00:15:04,270 --> 00:15:11,989 you need to give that thing good slam 312 00:15:18,329 --> 00:15:15,809 after two rendevouz a deploy to 313 00:15:20,999 --> 00:15:18,339 successful EVs on flight 28 we had some 314 00:15:23,550 --> 00:15:21,009 time to appreciate the beautiful views 315 00:15:25,319 --> 00:15:23,560 of the earth to take some film to bring 316 00:15:29,129 --> 00:15:25,329 back to show you all the depth of the 317 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:29,139 colors and the beauty from from our 318 00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:31,689 perspective we also did some carefully 319 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:39,329 the commander said you better get that 320 00:15:43,889 --> 00:15:42,610 not make a mess of my orbiter the 321 00:15:48,569 --> 00:15:43,899 flattering coffee on the wall was an 322 00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:48,579 automatic airlock depressed Luigi and I 323 00:15:53,819 --> 00:15:49,959 also had an opportunity to play the 324 00:15:56,249 --> 00:15:53,829 ancient oriental game of go and we 325 00:15:58,170 --> 00:15:56,259 brought this this along with us really 326 00:16:00,329 --> 00:15:58,180 to symbolize connections between past 327 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:00,339 and present and between Japan and the 328 00:16:04,470 --> 00:16:02,649 United States we could also experience 329 00:16:06,929 --> 00:16:04,480 how our body reacts to different kinds 330 00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:06,939 of motions in microgravity as you can 331 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:19,949 here's the master of karate Winston 332 00:16:25,230 --> 00:16:23,290 Scott look how stable his motions are 333 00:16:31,410 --> 00:16:25,240 even though his feet are not attached to 334 00:16:32,670 --> 00:16:31,420 the floor it's customary in Japan to 335 00:16:34,290 --> 00:16:32,680 mark the beginning and end of a large 336 00:16:36,090 --> 00:16:34,300 project by filling in the eyes of a 337 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:36,100 Daruma doll we had already filled in the 338 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:37,930 eye of the Sturm to start the project 339 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:39,370 and here Tweety and I are getting ready 340 00:16:47,069 --> 00:16:42,730 after the retrieval of the sfu to mark 341 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:47,079 the completion of the project one of the 342 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:48,490 hardest things to do is to say goodbye 343 00:16:53,009 --> 00:16:49,930 to a view like this when it's time to 344 00:16:55,379 --> 00:16:53,019 come home we all took our last gazes 345 00:16:57,329 --> 00:16:55,389 close the payload bay doors got in our 346 00:17:00,600 --> 00:16:57,339 suits got ready for the deorbit burn we 347 00:17:03,299 --> 00:17:00,610 burned north of Australia an hour later 348 00:17:06,929 --> 00:17:03,309 we were right here approaching a KSC 349 00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:06,939 runway one-five we touch down about 240 350 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:08,260 in the morning I imagine we broke a few 351 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:10,000 folks up there in Florida with the sonic 352 00:17:14,639 --> 00:17:12,970 booms as we came in as soon as the mains 353 00:17:17,610 --> 00:17:14,649 we're down Brent put the drag chute out 354 00:17:18,809 --> 00:17:17,620 and that's our major deceleration device 355 00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:18,819 during 356 00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:22,240 roll out at about 60 knots he jettisoned 357 00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:23,679 it here and if you'll notice it falls 358 00:17:27,950 --> 00:17:25,179 pretty much straight behind the orbiter 359 00:17:30,629 --> 00:17:27,960 so there wasn't much cross when that day 360 00:17:32,999 --> 00:17:30,639 and as we roll down the runway we have 361 00:17:35,399 --> 00:17:33,009 those bright lights behind us you watch 362 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:35,409 me searching for the center line here as 363 00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:36,850 i watch the nose move left and right 364 00:17:39,779 --> 00:17:38,590 because we were about two miles away 365 00:17:42,180 --> 00:17:39,789 from those lights it was starting to get 366 00:17:43,769 --> 00:17:42,190 dark down there and it's real important 367 00:17:49,730 --> 00:17:43,779 that you stop on the center line most of 368 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:52,230 but at the end of the end of that 369 00:17:57,149 --> 00:17:55,450 incredible voyage we were able to we're 370 00:17:59,639 --> 00:17:57,159 now able to look back on it with the 371 00:18:01,830 --> 00:17:59,649 feelings of great accomplishment we 372 00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:01,840 obviously owe our thanks to everybody 373 00:18:07,049 --> 00:18:04,059 that helped put the mission together and 374 00:18:09,210 --> 00:18:07,059 help support the mission I was it was an 375 00:18:11,369 --> 00:18:09,220 incredible incredible trip we can't 376 00:18:13,019 --> 00:18:11,379 capture all certainly can't capture our 377 00:18:18,299 --> 00:18:13,029 thanks in words we can't capture all of 378 00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:18,309 the scenes that we saw on film but we do 379 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:20,320 have a few supplemental film our shots 380 00:18:23,369 --> 00:18:22,210 now we'd like to to use just to show you 381 00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:23,379 some of the other things that went on 382 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:34,020 even though we had we did have some 383 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:35,679 pretty good rendezvous footage one of 384 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:36,880 the things we unfortunately did not 385 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:40,450 capture on video too well is shown in 386 00:18:43,620 --> 00:18:42,010 the lower left-hand corner of this slide 387 00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:43,630 and you can just see the the corner of 388 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:46,480 the IBM thinkpad computer but running on 389 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:49,090 that computer is a software program 390 00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:50,530 called the rendezvous and proxy ops 391 00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:52,510 program and a lot of folks here at JSC 392 00:18:58,380 --> 00:18:55,270 worked very hard to develop and perfect 393 00:19:01,460 --> 00:18:58,390 that program it was a tool that we used 394 00:19:04,830 --> 00:19:01,470 as a crew during the Rana boos 395 00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:04,840 essentially to help Brian get a little 396 00:19:08,850 --> 00:19:06,910 bit better graphical picture of what was 397 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:08,860 going on during the rendezvous and maybe 398 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:10,330 what the orbiter was going to be doing 399 00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:12,970 in the next couple minutes we use this 400 00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:15,790 tool fairly extensively and it helped 401 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:18,190 helped on both rendevouz contribute to 402 00:19:28,289 --> 00:19:25,090 our fuel savings we had a number of 403 00:19:31,919 --> 00:19:28,299 medical experiments on board to test 404 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:31,929 human adaptation to spaceflight and here 405 00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:34,480 you can see I'm wired for sound actually 406 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:35,919 I'm wired for light that's a laser on 407 00:19:43,380 --> 00:19:38,970 top of my head and we're testing how are 408 00:19:46,289 --> 00:19:43,390 our eyes and our balance systems adapt 409 00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:46,299 and and track as we go through the 410 00:19:57,470 --> 00:19:54,620 I don't know how as the doc on board I 411 00:19:59,030 --> 00:19:57,480 ended up being the one that got stuck by 412 00:20:01,340 --> 00:19:59,040 needles from the pilot and had to pinch 413 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:01,350 my nose but somehow that was the case 414 00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:04,770 and here we're testing how oxygenation 415 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:07,710 occurs in the lungs that's different 416 00:20:12,740 --> 00:20:10,650 than on the ground basically there's a 417 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:12,750 different distribution of blood and air 418 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:14,610 in the lungs because of the lack of 419 00:20:20,210 --> 00:20:18,810 gravity up there and you can see how 420 00:20:24,110 --> 00:20:20,220 relaxed with him as we go through this 421 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:24,120 dsl we don't have a shower on board the 422 00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:26,250 orbiters have you know but it really 423 00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:29,910 wasn't that bad he didn't really need to 424 00:20:37,730 --> 00:20:36,150 go all the way to those clips another 425 00:20:39,230 --> 00:20:37,740 one of those secondaries that we had on 426 00:20:40,910 --> 00:20:39,240 board was called a year in monitoring 427 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:40,920 system and it was a hardware evaluation 428 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:44,730 of the box that was designed here at the 429 00:20:48,260 --> 00:20:46,530 Johnson Space Center and it's intended 430 00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:48,270 to be used on on future long-duration 431 00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:50,190 Space Shuttle missions and also on the 432 00:20:55,940 --> 00:20:54,000 space station for medical research and 433 00:20:58,700 --> 00:20:55,950 it worked very well here you can see I 434 00:21:01,490 --> 00:20:58,710 had to set up shop to run it there I've 435 00:21:04,490 --> 00:21:01,500 got things surrounding me large syringes 436 00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:04,500 and unfortunately no the rest of the 437 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:05,880 guys could use the bathroom when I was 438 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:08,970 when I was doing this so we had to plan 439 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:13,530 everything ahead of time this is another 440 00:21:18,290 --> 00:21:16,650 medical hardware evaluation I don't know 441 00:21:20,330 --> 00:21:18,300 how I got put in charge of this one as 442 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:20,340 the pilot but floating next to my just 443 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:22,530 above my hand is a piece of hardware 444 00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:24,330 called the portable clinical blood 445 00:21:29,450 --> 00:21:27,150 analyzer or PCB a for short a 446 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:29,460 long-duration spaceflights especially on 447 00:21:33,650 --> 00:21:31,890 station it's a it's a tool that it will 448 00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:33,660 allow a doctor or the crew medical 449 00:21:37,820 --> 00:21:35,760 officer to take a blood sample from 450 00:21:40,490 --> 00:21:37,830 someone who's not feeling well and get a 451 00:21:42,380 --> 00:21:40,500 quick analysis of their blood the two 452 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:42,390 subjects on the experiment I was the 453 00:21:47,660 --> 00:21:45,330 operator the two subjects were Dan in 454 00:21:49,820 --> 00:21:47,670 quechee and they weren't real happy when 455 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:49,830 I went to stick their fingers and put 456 00:21:51,950 --> 00:21:50,850 their blood in that machine but it 457 00:21:55,710 --> 00:21:51,960 worked real well in the folks here at 458 00:22:01,810 --> 00:21:59,859 here's a picture of living in space once 459 00:22:03,190 --> 00:22:01,820 you get up into space the ceiling and 460 00:22:05,379 --> 00:22:03,200 the floor quickly lose their meaning and 461 00:22:07,269 --> 00:22:05,389 you learn to use whatever space is 462 00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:07,279 available Dan and Brian here are getting 463 00:22:11,289 --> 00:22:09,769 ready to prepare a meal and you can see 464 00:22:13,659 --> 00:22:11,299 the things stuck out on the on the 465 00:22:20,139 --> 00:22:13,669 velcro patches along the walls and the 466 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:20,149 other surfaces here's another picture of 467 00:22:23,950 --> 00:22:22,369 living in space one of the questions we 468 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:23,960 most frequently gigas how do people 469 00:22:28,539 --> 00:22:26,090 sleep in space well this is one option 470 00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:28,549 you can see Dan and the foreground there 471 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:30,559 in the sleeping bag the purpose of the 472 00:22:34,330 --> 00:22:32,450 sleeping bag of course is only to keep 473 00:22:37,570 --> 00:22:34,340 your body from floating all over the 474 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:37,580 cabin because it really doesn't provide 475 00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:39,919 support as there's a traditional bed and 476 00:22:44,139 --> 00:22:41,840 you can see how his arms photo it's 477 00:22:46,539 --> 00:22:44,149 really weird but if you totally relax 478 00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:46,549 your body in space your arms will float 479 00:22:55,509 --> 00:22:48,529 up in front of you in the manner that 480 00:22:57,460 --> 00:22:55,519 you see here on the screen in every 481 00:22:59,619 --> 00:22:57,470 morning one of the first things that we 482 00:23:02,049 --> 00:22:59,629 did after we woke up is to look through 483 00:23:05,139 --> 00:23:02,059 the fax note sent from the Mission 484 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:05,149 Control Center in Houston and MCC always 485 00:23:09,609 --> 00:23:07,129 kept us informed of the updated schedule 486 00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:09,619 and status of the orbiter and payload 487 00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:19,140 mentioned earlier that we really enjoyed 488 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:22,130 stealing glimpses of beautiful parts of 489 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:25,130 the earth when we had a chance because 490 00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:27,290 of our launch time and our launch 491 00:23:33,250 --> 00:23:30,710 inclination we seem to get Australia 492 00:23:36,190 --> 00:23:33,260 about every Rev in the daylight and we 493 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:36,200 actually we clobbered it with the film 494 00:23:42,430 --> 00:23:40,250 we took a lot of shots of the entire 495 00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:42,440 continent it's extremely beautiful this 496 00:23:46,330 --> 00:23:43,760 particular shot here is in the 497 00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:46,340 northeastern coast and it's the city of 498 00:23:51,850 --> 00:23:50,270 Brisbane and in the towards the left 499 00:23:55,510 --> 00:23:51,860 center you can see the brisbane river 500 00:23:57,790 --> 00:23:55,520 running down through the city into the 501 00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:57,800 bay the bay was just an incredible 502 00:24:01,450 --> 00:24:00,080 assortment of beautiful blues different 503 00:24:05,380 --> 00:24:01,460 colors you can see some of the barrier 504 00:24:07,330 --> 00:24:05,390 islands there and looking at australia 505 00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:07,340 from the this barren simpson desert to 506 00:24:13,090 --> 00:24:09,230 the beautiful coastline was one great 507 00:24:14,980 --> 00:24:13,100 experience for us this was something 508 00:24:16,810 --> 00:24:14,990 that I wanted to show you because it was 509 00:24:20,290 --> 00:24:16,820 a real surprise to meet it to see this 510 00:24:23,530 --> 00:24:20,300 it if you look up in a Texas summer sky 511 00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:23,540 at sunset you'll often see the the Sun 512 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:25,520 as it sets hitting the tops of the 513 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:27,890 clouds the top of the cloud is is bright 514 00:24:32,890 --> 00:24:30,770 white but from orbit you get a different 515 00:24:35,230 --> 00:24:32,900 perspective when that happens as is 516 00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:35,240 shown here with the Sun setting and the 517 00:24:39,370 --> 00:24:36,710 Sun hits the top of the clouds they 518 00:24:42,790 --> 00:24:39,380 leave a shadow that stretches across the 519 00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:42,800 earth for hundreds of miles and this was 520 00:24:49,820 --> 00:24:44,660 a perspective I've never seen before and 521 00:24:54,780 --> 00:24:52,440 we had the pleasure of participating in 522 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:54,790 a question-and-answer session from orbit 523 00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:57,250 with students from South Africa and one 524 00:25:01,560 --> 00:24:58,480 of the things that captured my attention 525 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:01,570 was the beauty of the African continent 526 00:25:07,020 --> 00:25:04,210 we young a picture of the orange river 527 00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:07,030 that is actually the boundary between 528 00:25:13,020 --> 00:25:09,460 the media to the north and south africa 529 00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:13,030 to the south and again the thing that 530 00:25:17,460 --> 00:25:14,710 really caught my attention at first was 531 00:25:20,580 --> 00:25:17,470 the contrast in colors you've got the 532 00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:20,590 darker colors at the top that represents 533 00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:22,480 a higher cultivated ground and then you 534 00:25:26,370 --> 00:25:24,130 can see the results of erosion at the 535 00:25:29,550 --> 00:25:26,380 bottom where the brighter more orange 536 00:25:30,930 --> 00:25:29,560 looking clay has been on earth again I 537 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:30,940 just thought it was a very very pretty 538 00:25:39,090 --> 00:25:36,490 picture I guess this technically isn't 539 00:25:40,410 --> 00:25:39,100 an Earth observation picture but it's 540 00:25:42,210 --> 00:25:40,420 probably the favorite picture my 541 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:42,220 favorite picture of all the ones we took 542 00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:45,970 on orbit this was taken during EV a1 and 543 00:25:50,190 --> 00:25:48,220 you can see Leroy down in the forward 544 00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:50,200 part of the bay on the starboard still 545 00:25:55,530 --> 00:25:53,470 working in the background you can see 546 00:25:59,580 --> 00:25:55,540 sharks Bay Australia which is on the 547 00:26:01,410 --> 00:25:59,590 west coast of Australia it's really it's 548 00:26:03,150 --> 00:26:01,420 pretty interesting I guess if I was I 549 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:03,160 happen to take this picture and I guess 550 00:26:07,770 --> 00:26:05,290 if I was talking to my photo instructor 551 00:26:09,660 --> 00:26:07,780 Don about this I would try to tell him 552 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:09,670 that I use the spot need ur 2 meter the 553 00:26:13,890 --> 00:26:12,010 light in the payload Bay and meet or the 554 00:26:15,270 --> 00:26:13,900 earth and get the exposure just right so 555 00:26:18,030 --> 00:26:15,280 that both the payload Bay and the earth 556 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:18,040 were proper exposure and I think Don 557 00:26:20,790 --> 00:26:19,330 knows me too well he'd probably say 558 00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:20,800 something about applying squirrel in a 559 00:26:30,650 --> 00:26:25,870 nut but it turned out to be a real nice 560 00:26:36,660 --> 00:26:33,360 this is a real neat picture this was 561 00:26:38,910 --> 00:26:36,670 shot in Brazil about 120 miles northeast 562 00:26:41,010 --> 00:26:38,920 of Rio de Janeiro and it's interesting 563 00:26:42,570 --> 00:26:41,020 for several reasons you can see the the 564 00:26:44,790 --> 00:26:42,580 mud from the rain runoff that has gone 565 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:44,800 into the river that is pouring into the 566 00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:47,650 ocean there and you can also see the the 567 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:50,320 scallop so the ancient shorelines as the 568 00:26:58,519 --> 00:26:51,850 shoreline evolve from centuries ago to 569 00:27:04,019 --> 00:27:01,320 we could not see Mount Fuji because we 570 00:27:06,029 --> 00:27:04,029 launched the night from northern 571 00:27:09,629 --> 00:27:06,039 hemisphere and this is a spectacular 572 00:27:11,999 --> 00:27:09,639 view of Mount Kilimanjaro and you can 573 00:27:20,779 --> 00:27:12,009 see the vegetation area around Mount 574 00:27:25,289 --> 00:27:23,430 have to agree with Winston that about 575 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:25,299 the African continent being so beautiful 576 00:27:29,970 --> 00:27:27,450 and I really love it every time I see it 577 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:29,980 in particular I love looking at the 578 00:27:34,529 --> 00:27:31,450 deserts because you can see the dunes 579 00:27:36,810 --> 00:27:34,539 which actually you can see they're 580 00:27:39,509 --> 00:27:36,820 actually moving on the surface of the 581 00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:39,519 earth in this particular picture here 582 00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:41,440 you can see a couple things one is the 583 00:27:47,340 --> 00:27:43,929 sum of the hard rock the lava left over 584 00:27:49,289 --> 00:27:47,350 from days gone by and if you look in the 585 00:27:51,029 --> 00:27:49,299 towards the lower right center there you 586 00:27:53,820 --> 00:27:51,039 can see there's an old crater there but 587 00:27:57,509 --> 00:27:53,830 the deserts are reclaiming that land as 588 00:27:59,940 --> 00:27:57,519 the wind erosion has punched a hole in 589 00:28:01,889 --> 00:27:59,950 the rim of the crater and you can see 590 00:28:03,090 --> 00:28:01,899 the dunes and thus and filling in there 591 00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:03,100 and it's probably just a matter of time 592 00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:16,350 that pretty much sums up our mission has 593 00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:18,880 the the major events we've been able to 594 00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:20,500 share with you some of the other things 595 00:28:26,060 --> 00:28:23,740 that we did on board again we'd like to 596 00:28:29,940 --> 00:28:26,070 thank thank you for all that you did and 597 00:28:36,660 --> 00:28:29,950 have to tell you that that you make you 598 00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:36,670 make incredible things happen and we 599 00:28:40,380 --> 00:28:38,350 certainly certainly appreciate speaking 600 00:28:41,850 --> 00:28:40,390 on behalf of the crew I haven't had the 601 00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:41,860 opportunity to work with all of you we 602 00:28:46,290 --> 00:28:43,270 thank you for all you did in support of
