some 45 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:09,740 images of it with the f4 night lens and 46 00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:12,170 hopefully they'll turn out but the tail 47 00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:13,910 is absolutely long it looks like it goes 48 00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:19,640 to the end of the university incredible 49 00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:23,060 we're on camera Delta maybe you could 50 00:06:31,870 --> 00:06:30,590 help us orient the camera point it 51 00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:31,880 straight at the middle base block it's 52 00:06:43,050 --> 00:06:33,320 between the solar arrays of the mirror 53 00:06:54,770 --> 00:06:46,790 I would say tilt 90 and pan about 30 54 00:07:02,430 --> 00:06:56,700 good morning do you have an opening 55 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:02,440 statement before we take

welcome everyone aboard the 59 00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:12,700 Atlantis Mears base complex here now I 60 00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:15,550 begin by first recognizing the mir-21 61 00:07:21,719 --> 00:07:18,070 crew the three people right in front of 62 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:21,729 me it used to be Jew but now three and 63 00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:24,610 the rest of the sto 76 crew here in the 64 00:07:28,530 --> 00:07:27,070 back row there when will one shorter 65 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:28,540 than what we took off with and it's been 66 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:31,570 a major accomplishment for us on this 67 00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:34,630 flight bringing Shannon up here to the 68 00:07:40,590 --> 00:07:37,680 MIR space station for the first of many 69 00:07:42,750 --> 00:07:40,600 visits by US astronauts to the MIR space 70 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:42,760 station and we're very proud to 71 00:07:48,090 --> 00:07:45,130 participate in that in addition we've 72 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:48,100 been working really hard lately and are 73 00:07:52,980 --> 00:07:50,650 quite pleased with the results for the 74 00:07:55,590 --> 00:07:52,990 plan they're wrong excuse me Ron brought 75 00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:55,600 together as our payload commander for 76 00:08:00,900 --> 00:07:58,690 the transfer plan and we've had three a 77 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:00,910 very productive days transferring a 78 00:08:05,250 --> 00:08:02,650 supplies the mirror to ensure that it 79 00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:05,260 can continue in its mission here in 80 00:08:09,930 --> 00:08:08,260 Earth orbit and on top of that i think 81 00:08:12,510 --> 00:08:09,940 the x 0 akland has been going really 82 00:08:15,090 --> 00:08:12,520 really well also and so i would like to 83 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:15,100 welcome you all aboard and i'll pass the 84 00:08:25,650 --> 00:08:17,410 microphone now to Commander on your 85 00:08:27,390 --> 00:08:25,660 Franco for his welcoming statement this 86 00:08:29,969 --> 00:08:27,400 is Marcia Dunn of the associated press 87 00:08:31,770 --> 00:08:29,979 for dr. lucid I'm wondering if you could 88 00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:31,780 describe your initial impressions as you 89 00:08:35,850 --> 00:08:33,789 floated into mirror the other day what 90 00:08:43,769 --> 00:08:35,860 struck you most about the space station 91 00:08:45,570 --> 00:08:43,779 any surprises when we floated in it felt 92 00:08:47,579 --> 00:08:45,580 pretty much like I was coming home 93 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:47,589 because I've been in the trailer then 94 00:08:53,730 --> 00:08:51,730 Star City quite a few times and so I 95 00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:53,740 felt really comfortable coming in and 96 00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:55,630 of course year annually were there and 97 00:08:59,639 --> 00:08:57,760 they welcomed us very very warmly and so 98 00:09:02,280 --> 00:08:59,649 the sort of like coming back home and 99 00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:02,290 see your friends and they hearing your 100 00:09:05,070 --> 00:09:03,670 has gone out of the way to make all of 101 00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:05,080 us feel very welcome and very 102 00:09:16,850 --> 00:09:14,320 comfortable here and their home bill 103 00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:16,860 Hartwick cbs4 commander Chilton I guess 104 00:09:20,699 --> 00:09:19,120 commander as you mentioned with Shannon 105 00:09:22,590 --> 00:09:20,709 lucid flight here at least through phase 106 00:09:25,050 --> 00:09:22,600 one there will be a permanent US 107 00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:25,060 presence in space and if phase one 108 00:09:28,139 --> 00:09:26,430 overlaps the first flight to 109 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:28,149 International Space Station it's a 110 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:29,410 permanent presence for the indefinite 111 00:09:33,690 --> 00:09:31,600 future what's the significance of that 112 00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:33,700 in your view I mean historically is that 113 00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:35,350 a major milestone for the u.s. program 114 00:09:42,210 --> 00:09:39,640 how do you look at that well still i do 115 00:09:44,340 --> 00:09:42,220 I think you know we want to establish a 116 00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:44,350 permanent presence in space and from a 117 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,180 historical Specter spective you can look 118 00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:48,880 back on the discovery of America and the 119 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:51,760 early colonization of it and until they 120 00:09:55,949 --> 00:09:53,050 actually were kind of beginning the 121 00:09:57,329 --> 00:09:55,959 colonization of space here we've been to 122 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:57,339 and from just as the early explorers 123 00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:00,399 were doing from North America from 124 00:10:04,590 --> 00:10:02,529 Europe and then finally they settled and 125 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:04,600 then they started to do productive work 126 00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:06,970 over there and found at this great 127 00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:08,649 nation so I kind of look at it in the 128 00:10:13,079 --> 00:10:10,990 same similar light where we've been 129 00:10:14,699 --> 00:10:13,089 coming to them from space and when we 130 00:10:17,060 --> 00:10:14,709 get here prominently then we can start 131 00:10:20,699 --> 00:10:17,070 seeing the the fruits of our labors and 132 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:20,709 a quick question for Shannon lucid dr. 133 00:10:24,030 --> 00:10:22,810 lucid obviously in two days or so you're 134 00:10:25,889 --> 00:10:24,040 going to be left there on your own for 135 00:10:27,569 --> 00:10:25,899 several months with the to yuri's I'm 136 00:10:30,210 --> 00:10:27,579 just wondering is is undocking 137 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:30,220 approaches if now that the initial rush 138 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:31,810 of excitement is over from getting there 139 00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:33,970 if that feeling of watching the shuttle 140 00:10:41,180 --> 00:10:35,649 depart how you might respond to that or 141 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:44,819 also about to see the 76 CUDA part 142 00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:46,690 because I've really enjoyed working with 143 00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:49,839 in and being a part of that cruise but 144 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:51,940 I've also enjoyed being a part of the 145 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:54,370 mere toy one crew and the fight over 146 00:10:58,019 --> 00:10:56,770 their benefits through the pod then 147 00:11:02,460 --> 00:10:58,029 we'll be able to sort of settle down 148 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:02,470 into a routine and start yeah it's been 149 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:04,510 a little productive work than 150 00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:07,570 on the science things like that no I 151 00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:09,700 will be none for dr. I'm just moving 152 00:11:21,630 --> 00:11:19,320 this is irene brown again with the UPI 153 00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:21,640 first shannon again you've been with 154 00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:23,140 nasa a long time through many 155 00:11:28,110 --> 00:11:25,150 administrators and space shuttle program 156 00:11:29,610 --> 00:11:28,120 changes in space station designs did you 157 00:11:31,710 --> 00:11:29,620 ever imagine that the shuttles first 158 00:11:34,170 --> 00:11:31,720 port in space would be a would be a 159 00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:34,180 Russian craft or that you who has had a 160 00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:35,920 personal brush with war would be 161 00:11:41,970 --> 00:11:40,600 stationed on it no this is sort of 162 00:11:44,490 --> 00:11:41,980 beyond my wildest dreams I never 163 00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:44,500 envisioned that I'd be sitting here with 164 00:11:49,170 --> 00:11:46,180 Americans and Russians on board the 165 00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:49,180 Russian space station so just goes to 166 00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:51,190 show that you can never plan on 167 00:14:10,210 --> 00:11:52,720 everything that's going to happen in 168 00:14:15,050 --> 00:14:13,040 hey you guys

the 196 00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:37,080 Soviets came out with Apollo 13 is Best 197 00:15:41,750 --> 00:15:40,830 Picture correct how did that be safe to 198 00:15:43,460 --> 00:15:41,760 say although you know we watch 199 00:15:49,450 --> 00:15:43,470 Braveheart in quarantine just before we 200 00:15:55,730 --> 00:15:52,400 you have a kind of sleep schedule that 201 00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:55,740 only Joan and I can relate to i think 202 00:16:01,040 --> 00:15:58,290 colonel chilton we tend to lose track of 203 00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:01,050 some of these missions in space but this 204 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:04,110 one obviously very much a first and you 205 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:08,370 should run it down for it well you bet 206 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:11,330 it's the first time that a woman has 207 00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:13,890 joined an American woman has joined the 208 00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,910 Emir crew and the Shannon lucid we was 209 00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:20,160 originally a member of the SGS 76 crew 210 00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:21,660 and we had the official handover the 211 00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:22,240 other day 212 00:16:28,019 --> 00:16:25,750 join the mir-21 crew with Kozma honey 213 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:28,029 Franco and usage f and so that's a first 214 00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:29,529 and it's also the beginning it's the 215 00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:31,510 beginning of a continuous US presence 216 00:16:35,790 --> 00:16:33,310 space we're getting ready for another 217 00:16:37,470 --> 00:16:35,800 first tomorrow and that's when Linda and 218 00:16:39,930 --> 00:16:37,480 riches you see here in the front are 219 00:16:41,579 --> 00:16:39,940 going to make a historic spacewalk it 220 00:16:44,430 --> 00:16:41,589 will be the first time people have gone 221 00:16:46,019 --> 00:16:44,440 out the door from a u.s. shuttle wall 222 00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:46,029 attached to a space station and in this 223 00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:48,190 case the MIR Space Station and it's 224 00:16:54,630 --> 00:16:49,480 going to be a special moment tomorrow 225 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:54,640 we're all looking forward to it all 226 00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:56,050 right so we're going to have a series of 227 00:17:02,010 --> 00:16:59,050 Americans up there at least through 1998 228 00:17:06,030 --> 00:17:02,020 and what's going to happen during those 229 00:17:09,059 --> 00:17:06,040 two years plus what are they several 230 00:17:11,100 --> 00:17:09,069 things number one I'll give us the 231 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:11,110 Americans a chance to know what it's 232 00:17:16,530 --> 00:17:14,170 like to have a continuous presence face 233 00:17:19,260 --> 00:17:16,540 and also to get more information on what 234 00:17:21,870 --> 00:17:19,270 happens when people spend very long time 235 00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:21,880 since safe the Russians had a few spread 236 00:17:27,449 --> 00:17:25,120 facial mask in years and this is the 237 00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:27,459 first time that the Americans have a 238 00:17:33,150 --> 00:17:30,040 chance to start learning what had a 239 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:33,160 continual presence in space it so we'll 240 00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:35,410 learn about that it will also help us 241 00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:38,110 learn what we are operational is what we 242 00:17:42,930 --> 00:17:40,000 need to know when we start operating 243 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:42,940 space station and it will also learn 244 00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:44,890 more about cooperating with other 245 00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:47,080 nations which phase space station will 246 00:17:51,660 --> 00:17:49,390 depend upon know we can cooperate with 247 00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:51,670 other nations to very large three and in 248 00:17:55,580 --> 00:17:53,470 addition to that will be connected 249 00:18:02,070 --> 00:17:55,590 scientific experiment and will hopefully 250 00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:02,080 collecting data well there we are back 251 00:18:05,970 --> 00:18:03,790 on those time schedules again that gets 252 00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:05,980 so confusing for people but to a rich 253 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:13,260 Charles there's three main purposes the 254 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:15,010 the first purpose is to install for 255 00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:17,050 experiments on the exterior of the 256 00:18:21,150 --> 00:18:18,670 docking module which is attached to the 257 00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:21,160 mirror core module and then we're also 258 00:18:24,270 --> 00:18:22,870 going to evaluate some special tools and 259 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:24,280 equipment for building the space station 260 00:18:27,450 --> 00:18:25,840 and the third thing is we're going to 261 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:27,460 bring back a camera which was installed 262 00:18:33,789 --> 00:18:29,530 on the docking module for SBS 74s 263 00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:55,810 you 264 00:19:00,290 --> 00:18:58,430 good morning i'm commander kevin chilton 265 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:00,300 aboard the space shuttle atlantis about 266 00:19:05,030 --> 00:19:02,370 200 miles above the planet earth joined 267 00:19:07,910 --> 00:19:05,040 here by the mir-21 crew from the russian 268 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:07,920 mir space station and this is commander
