1 00:02:26,870 --> 00:02:20,120 come on be here soon are you ready for 2 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:26,880 the event Roger Columbia administrator 3 00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:29,280 golden is on Orion mr. golden please 4 00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:46,130 I'm very proud of that launch just one 5 00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:47,640 last time I know you've heard it from 6 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,950 everyone but safety is gonna be the 7 00:02:57,050 --> 00:02:52,080 first priority on operating a tether 8 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,060 right there's no doubt in our minds that 9 00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,280 we're gonna be able to keep the over 10 00:03:10,619 --> 00:03:01,200 safe and the crew safe and there that is 11 00:03:16,979 --> 00:03:14,610 the rookies looked pretty healthy but I 12 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:16,989 want to tell you I'm very proud of you 13 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:20,170 and and I want you to keep in mind the 14 00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:22,450 space frontier is risky and success 15 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:24,700 isn't always guaranteed you know this is 16 00:03:28,649 --> 00:03:26,290 not an operational flight this is a 17 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:28,659 research flight and no matter what 18 00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:31,090 happens I want to tell you I'm proud of 19 00:03:36,539 --> 00:03:32,799 you folks I think you've done a 20 00:03:38,190 --> 00:03:36,549 wonderful job clearly I want success but 21 00:03:39,869 --> 00:03:38,200 but the fact of the matter is we have to 22 00:03:42,899 --> 00:03:39,879 understand that when you go into space 23 00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:42,909 there's always a risk and I think that 24 00:03:48,179 --> 00:03:45,969 you're very well prepared and I'll be 25 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:48,189 sitting down on the ground and watching 26 00:03:56,759 --> 00:03:52,329 and have a great flight and once again 27 00:03:59,039 --> 00:03:56,769 let me say how proud I am of you thank 28 00:04:16,640 --> 00:03:59,049 you very much we can't do this nobody 29 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:20,020 your son columns yeah you want me to eye 30 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:23,250 off the computer you want me to start to 31 00:05:37,990 --> 00:04:44,080 Columbia had a computer powering off as 32 00:05:47,210 --> 00:05:41,840 okay don't write that Annie we still 33 00:06:02,570 --> 00:05:47,220 have the picture yes for those it was 34 00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:02,580 running when I was doing this I agree 35 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:03,870 I'll just have to bring some mustard 36 00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:07,770 along with the pretzels we got some of 37 00:06:29,709 --> 00:06:17,540 Columbia Houston big picture on the 38 00:06:34,429 --> 00:06:33,649 okay go with the big picture hello 39 00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:34,439 Franklin 40 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:37,590 good to see you we're pretty convinced 41 00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:39,210 now that we did have an auto core 42 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:43,860 failover and our reboot there with your 43 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,610 help of the DD CS has given us some more 44 00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:49,680 insight into that problem what we're 45 00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:52,590 going to do is uplink a GM that will 46 00:07:00,189 --> 00:06:56,340 switch our t SS IO command path from 47 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:00,199 payload one to the payload to MDM 48 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,849 afterwards we'll save some experiments 49 00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:05,039 and then get on with satellite 50 00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:07,889 activation another problem we'll have to 51 00:07:11,379 --> 00:07:09,840 deal with down the line is the D DCs low 52 00:07:13,969 --> 00:07:11,389 performance but that can be dealt with 53 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:13,979 after we get into satellite activation 54 00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:15,650 so it sounds like we couldn't proceed 55 00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:29,759 and get back on the timeline a bit thank 56 00:07:33,559 --> 00:07:31,110 you we've been thinking real hard about 57 00:07:35,869 --> 00:07:33,569 this problem it looks like we can just 58 00:07:38,269 --> 00:07:35,879 stay on the current core for the time 59 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:38,279 being and we'll keep you advised as we 60 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:48,330 get more information in okay onboard the 61 00:07:51,980 --> 00:07:49,680 crew members are behind in their 62 00:07:53,719 --> 00:07:51,990 timeline just about by two and a half 63 00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:53,729 hours or so after they've spent some 64 00:07:59,089 --> 00:07:55,319 time attempting to resolve some issues 65 00:08:02,209 --> 00:07:59,099 with a computer referred to as smartflex 66 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:02,219 it's a computer that processes data from 67 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:05,039 the tethered satellite system apparently 68 00:08:10,010 --> 00:08:07,770 the one of two cores on that satellite 69 00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:10,020 failed it failed automatically over to 70 00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:12,479 the second core and currently the right 71 00:08:18,379 --> 00:08:15,060 core of that smartflex computer is being 72 00:08:20,990 --> 00:08:18,389 used it appears to be operating as 73 00:08:22,820 --> 00:08:21,000 expected that will allow satellite 74 00:08:24,679 --> 00:08:22,830 activation to begin for the tethered 75 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:24,689 satellite system the crew members also 76 00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:26,490 have been working with a second unit 77 00:08:30,350 --> 00:08:28,500 called the D dcs that's a dedicated 78 00:08:32,930 --> 00:08:30,360 display unit that graphically displays 79 00:08:35,089 --> 00:08:32,940 information about the major components 80 00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:35,099 of the tethered satellite system that 81 00:08:38,779 --> 00:08:36,570 unit is functioning however it is 82 00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:38,789 processing data at a very low level due 83 00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:44,869 however the crew is beginning to step 84 00:08:48,170 --> 00:08:46,470 through the time line getting back on 85 00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:48,180 track as they prepare to activate the 86 00:08:52,429 --> 00:08:49,649 tethered satellite system in 87 00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:52,439 anticipation of its deployment from 88 00:09:02,530 --> 00:08:59,370 Columbia on Saturday afternoon probably 89 00:09:04,819 --> 00:09:02,540 Houston on satellite activation we are 90 00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:04,829 going to ask you to step through 91 00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:06,750 satellite activation yourselves we'll 92 00:09:13,309 --> 00:09:10,889 watch and back you up and at some point
