of columbia

00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:39,040
coming through another developmental

00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:40,640
test objective being carried for the

5
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:43,440
first time on board sts 73 referred to

6
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:45,680
as high pack the highly packed digital

7
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,600
television that allows up to six

8
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,760
different channels to be downlinked to

9
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:51,600
the earth allowing the researchers for

10
00:00:56,830 --> 00:00:54,399
the u.s microgravity laboratory to view

11
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:56,840
the result of multiple experiments

12
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,039
simultaneously in this television view

13
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:01,199
again being sent down to the earth

00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,749
the surface driven con

15
00:01:24,149 --> 00:01:21,439
surface tension driven convection

16
00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:24,159
experiment is a cylindrical container

17
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:26,560
that is filled with a silicon oil

18
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:29,520
this container can then be heated on the

19
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,400
surface by either a

20
00:01:39,429 --> 00:01:34,400
carbon dioxide laser

21
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:41,190
in case you wanted to

22
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,479
reduce that

23
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,640
rotation more rapidly than just letting

24
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,240
it die out you can always of course go

25
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:48,159
the opposite direction and try to slow

26
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:49,600
it with a torque and then go back to an

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,749
okay

28
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:03,270
but i promise i'm not being impatient

29
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:04,630
well i'm always willing to hear

30
00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:35,030
say something for fred a heads up we're

31
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:36,879
going to change the ir imager range for

32
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:46,309
okay copy that and the thermistor is

33
00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:48,080
in between a couple marks so let's make

34
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:49,599
that 0

35
00:05:53,590 --> 00:02:52,000
six three five

36
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,950
space web huntsville for fred

37
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:01,430
yeah we've got goody tv uh audio and

38
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:12,390
the voice now on the ga tv channel

39
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:13,830
that's clear that's a matter of fact

40
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:15,360
it's probably even a little more clear

41
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:18,400
than the uh degree

42
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,800
okay excellent we'll let's uh start into

43
00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:22,560
our discussion this morning

44
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,039
we have here the uh falcon team on orbit

45
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:27,039
3 rob kelso the flight director sitting

46
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,240
right behind me

47
00:06:32,830 --> 00:06:30,400
and we just thought we'd talk a little

48
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,840
bit about the status of the flight this

49
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:34,400
morning

50
00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:36,400
it's a pretty quiet

51
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,560
day down here in mcc they're not not a

52
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:39,919
lot of problems

53
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:41,840
being worked as you know and i thought

54
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:44,080
i'd just ask you about how

55
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:46,479
the routine was settling in on here your

56
00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:49,599
third uh full day

57
00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:52,960
in orbit can you tell me how

58
00:07:01,189 --> 00:06:54,560
you've arranged the sleeping quarters up

59
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,629
yeah that's a that's a pretty easy one

60
00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:04,240
there we've got the sleep station set up

61
00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:05,520
so uh

62
00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:07,599
there's four stations and seven people

63
00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:10,479
so three of us hot rack and being a navy

64
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:11,360
person

65
00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:13,360
that means that

66
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:14,880
three of the sleep stations are almost

67
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,400
always in use except for the turnover

68
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:18,479
periods and then the commander has his

69
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:20,800
own sleep station so he has kind of a

70
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:26,390
do you find that during the shift

71
00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:29,440
handovers you're getting a lot of time

72
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,639
to uh

73
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:32,560
pass news back and forth or do you just

74
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:34,000
sort of pass like ships in the night

75
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:38,870
we're getting better i guess the first

76
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:40,160
handover seemed

77
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,840
maybe a little bit rushed but the last

78
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,440
couple days it seems like we've had

79
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:45,280
plenty of time for the turnover actually

80
00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:46,560
i'll let stocks answer that for you

81
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:47,759
because he's doing the majority of the

82
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:52,950
as the awake time split sort of uh at

83
00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:54,800
the beginning and end of each shift so

84
00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:56,240
that the overlaps are

85
00:08:01,909 --> 00:07:58,800
evenly split or they all front loaded or

86
00:08:06,629 --> 00:08:03,110
well of course the beginning of the

87
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:09,029
pretty front loaded i guess

88
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:10,400
the

89
00:08:14,309 --> 00:08:12,000
but we set it up that way on purpose due

90
00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,319
to our sleep shifts now uh we have a

91
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:16,479
real nice setup two hours supreme post

92
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:18,240
sleep for everybody and this morning we

93
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:19,680
even got together for a little crew

94
00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:21,199
meeting for about 10 minutes during

95
00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:26,629
copy that and uh

96
00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:27,919
how are the meals working out are you

97
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:29,440
able to take a break together in the

98
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:35,190
we managed to do that every once in a

99
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,880
while but but rather than eating uh

100
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:38,880
according to the plant times we're all

101
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,440
sort of grazing as the day goes on uh

102
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:43,599
probably four or five meals a day

103
00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:49,430
that's about the way we're eating down

104
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,829
yeah can't eat too much

105
00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,839
well food equals sleep

106
00:09:04,710 --> 00:08:59,839
rob's going to give you a status relax

107
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:13,430
good morning socks i feel like your ties

108
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:14,870
well we uh

109
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:17,279
as you can probably tell

110
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,440
this is our first shift with you after

111
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:21,279
after the great launch you guys had the

112
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:23,360
other day we worked all those uh four or

113
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,920
five pre-launch shifts and so it's uh

114
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:27,760
extra special for us to come in this

115
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:30,399
morning and and have you already flying

116
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,949
yeah those pre-launch ships are tough

117
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:38,399
i've worked a couple of those and it

118
00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:39,920
feels really good when the orbiter goes

119
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:40,959
off

120
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:46,550
the uh

121
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:48,640
old flying over houston the last couple

122
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:50,320
days you could probably tell we had some

123
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:52,320
tremendous weather in houston and of

124
00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:54,240
course this weekend was the wings over

125
00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:55,680
houston and the

126
00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,920
navy and the blue angels did just

127
00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,839
spectacular

128
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:01,120
with some

129
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:03,279
incredible acrobatics

130
00:10:09,670 --> 00:10:04,480
so the navy

131
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:11,030
all right well great rob we love

132
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:12,640
watching the blue angels sorry we missed

133
00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:13,360
them

134
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:15,200
they're always a good show we got some

135
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:16,560
good pictures of houston i think when we

136
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,240
were flying over and for the first time

137
00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:20,880
i was actually able to spot jsc the air

138
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:22,640
was so clear i couldn't find my house

139
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:27,110
well we're uh looking at the plot board

140
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:28,480
here looks like you're coming up on

141
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:30,959
another pass in a few minutes over

142
00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:32,560
over the houston area so maybe you'll

143
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:39,910
okay well we'll give it a shot

144
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,200
the only thing that we're kind of

145
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:43,440
tracking here socks uh we're still

146
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:45,600
looking at the main landing gear tire

147
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,079
pressures and temperatures with the poor

148
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:49,920
door

149
00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:52,079
slightly closed and

150
00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:54,560
the pre-flight predictions and the

151
00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,720
real-time data are running pretty close

152
00:11:00,550 --> 00:10:58,480
and it and it looks like at least for

153
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:00,560
the next few days that we're thermally

154
00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:02,320
in good shape and

155
00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:03,680
we're going to be talking with harry

156
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,200
chang and the thermal people a little

157
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:06,800
later today but

158
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:09,600
things look like that's going uh well

159
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:22,150
all right rob well that's good news

160
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:23,910
uh socks and rumble if you look behind

161
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:25,519
rob here on the screen you can see rich

162
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:27,279
jackson the guy who got you off the

163
00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:29,120
ground the other day after uh many

164
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,279
attempts and he's happier than anybody i

165
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:33,760
think to see you guys in orbit

166
00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:35,360
and and you'll notice you made that

167
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:40,790
yeah where is your tie i thought

168
00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:42,320
everybody was supposed to wear a tie in

169
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:46,630
i think we made an exception to the

170
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,440
dress code today for uh rich

171
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:51,040
that's why jackson's not part of he

172
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:53,200
deserves a break after all those launch

173
00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:58,710
he copies that and the room just had a

174
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:00,079
good laugh when he teased him about his

175
00:12:08,069 --> 00:12:06,069
hey i got one question for you rich when

176
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,079
we took off the other day

177
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:09,920
i called in the wall and i didn't hear

178
00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:12,320
any response and then i called the whole

179
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:13,440
program

180
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:14,880
and didn't hear anything the first call

181
00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:16,880
we heard was go throttle up just

182
00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:18,720
wondered if uh if you guys had heard my

183
00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,639
calls or if maybe we were transmitting

184
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:22,160
through the cloud or the plume or

185
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:43,910
uh socks uh the word from rich here is

186
00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,920
that we may have just had a misconfig uh

187
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:47,279
on the ground system down here for the

188
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:49,040
first two calls we heard all of yours

189
00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:52,399
crystal clear and obviously uh we didn't

190
00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:54,399
get up to you until after the throttle

191
00:13:01,990 --> 00:12:59,190
okay that's why we weren't gonna turn

192
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:03,350
not at that point

193
00:13:06,389 --> 00:13:04,240
um

194
00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:06,399
the camera angle at liftoff showed uh

195
00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:08,399
showed the um

196
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:10,079
view straight onto the orbiter from the

197
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:11,519
end of the flame trench and you guys

198
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:13,120
were buried in a big white steam cloud

199
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:14,480
for about the first

200
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,839
five to ten seconds of the launch and

201
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:17,519
then columbia just came up right out of

202
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:20,480
the cloud it was really a dramatic uh

203
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:25,430
yeah we saw that

204
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:28,720
in the uplink video on the kca it was

205
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:30,240
really impressive we appreciate it

206
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:31,920
getting it

207
00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:34,160
well how's the view been from uh orbit

208
00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:36,079
uh i know your attitude points the

209
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,079
payload bay uh windows down at the earth

210
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:39,680
and i wonder if you've uh

211
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:41,519
seen any uh

212
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:43,040
particular favorites of yours on your

213
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:48,870
well this attitude makes some things a

214
00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:51,839
little bit hard um the

215
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:54,160
payload bay door sort of obscures the

216
00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:56,079
terrain that's coming in

217
00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:58,320
so it's uh we have to really think ahead

218
00:14:02,230 --> 00:13:59,839
if we want to try and catch any nader

219
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:02,240
shots what seems to work best is looking

220
00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:04,480
north of track at the overhead windows

221
00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:06,880
and getting getting things at 20 or 30

222
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:08,160
degrees

223
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:10,079
i've been amazed how much we see to the

224
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:11,440
north though

225
00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:12,720
especially

226
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:16,399
lake michigan chicago

227
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:18,560
lake erie and cleveland

228
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:20,880
we've got great views of those

229
00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:22,639
and spain and europe have been pretty

230
00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:28,790
yeah the indians are coming back to play

231
00:14:32,949 --> 00:14:30,639
in cleveland with the braves i guess

232
00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:32,959
they're down 2-zip right now

233
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:34,079
so you'll be able to watch some of the

234
00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:35,760
night game action probably later this

235
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:37,279
week

236
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:38,800
any tropical storms left in the atlantic

237
00:14:46,949 --> 00:14:45,350
well we haven't seen any of them

238
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:46,959
it's amazing i think it's finally dying

239
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:48,800
down clouds out there seems like there's

240
00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:52,000
more clouds over africa than i remember

241
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:55,279
from previous flights lots of big storms

242
00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:56,560
i hope they're getting a little rain

243
00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:02,069
it's been great in houston we've had a

244
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:03,519
great high pressure system sitting over

245
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:05,760
us and the weather's been fantastic it's

246
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:06,880
a

247
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:42,560
together up there you guys hit the

248
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:44,399
ground running and uh we've been very

249
00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:45,680
very uh

250
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:48,480
uh pleased with how well the timeline's

251
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,839
been working out

252
00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:50,959
you guys have been hitting everything

253
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:54,000
right on the on time and it seems like

254
00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:55,920
the payload ops as well as the orbiter

255
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:02,949
well good uh i think

256
00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:04,240
that

257
00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:05,839
is due in

258
00:16:09,749 --> 00:16:07,440
a big measure to the folks who did the

259
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:09,759
planning pre-flight the paces seemed

260
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,480
just about right for all of us on board

261
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:14,560
i think another thing that

262
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:15,920
helped us was that we were just a little

263
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:17,120
bit lucky

264
00:16:20,790 --> 00:16:18,800
having to get five new guys who are just

265
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:20,800
natural space people they're really

266
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:25,509
and that's obvious from what we can see

267
00:16:29,269 --> 00:16:27,920
uh the laboratory ops in the back

268
00:16:31,269 --> 00:16:29,279
are just like you would imagine in a

269
00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:31,279
laboratory down here on the ground we're

270
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:32,959
tweaking making some fine adjustments

271
00:16:37,269 --> 00:16:35,040
but the overall scope of the experiment

272
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:37,279
seems to be uh working along just fine

273
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:38,800
and i'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more

274
00:16:42,310 --> 00:16:40,720
of that in the years ahead so you guys

275
00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:42,320
are really uh showing us what it's going

276
00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:43,759
to be like in just a couple years with

277
00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:49,350
well good deal i think this two-way

278
00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:50,480
video capability is going to be

279
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:52,000
something neat that they'll enjoy too

280
00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:53,920
it's really nice to see your faces and

281
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:55,839
see your lips move uh while you're

282
00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:57,360
talking to us there's always a little

283
00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:58,800
bit more that can be carried in

284
00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:00,959
expressions and

285
00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:03,040
and hand motions then you can capture

286
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:08,630
that's true socks and we just got a call

287
00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:09,600
from

288
00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:11,039
moscow and mission control over there

289
00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:12,319
with jim weatherby this morning and

290
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:13,600
everybody's watching your flight with

291
00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:15,360
great interest on that side

292
00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:17,360
all the folks in our office

293
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:19,360
over there are watching uh

294
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:21,520
73 and they're very pleased and proud of

295
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,789
well great glad to hear it uh

296
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,720
pass them our best wishes

297
00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:30,640
and i know they're glad to get us in the

298
00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:33,600
air so that we can get 74 launched here

299
00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:35,200
and get those guys flying up to the

300
00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:40,150
that's right

301
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:41,280
we're looking forward to that as well

302
00:17:44,710 --> 00:17:43,280
but i think we've got another two weeks

303
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:44,720
of fun with you folks before that

304
00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:45,840
happens and

305
00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:47,840
we'll be ready for 74 in time on the

306
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,789
yeah we're looking forward to the rest

307
00:17:56,070 --> 00:17:54,640
of the flight

308
00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:56,080
don't think you can spend too much time

309
00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:58,400
in orbit i know i can i can't get enough

310
00:18:01,190 --> 00:17:59,760
of the view

311
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:01,200
and the floating around

312
00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:03,600
and we just continue to feel better and

313
00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:05,679
better up here so let's hope it keeps

314
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:08,160
going that way in columbia see the guys

315
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,840
on the ground who prepped this ship sure

316
00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,440
did a great job it's just coming right

317
00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:13,600
along

318
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:15,760
i know people say things about colombia

319
00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,360
about better being jinxed and having a

320
00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:18,960
lot of problems but you sure wouldn't

321
00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:20,880
know it here from our point of view up

322
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:28,390
she may be the oldest ship in the fleet

323
00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:29,919
but it's obvious she's been maintained

324
00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:31,840
very well and uh

325
00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:33,440
it's the cleanest ship

326
00:18:38,789 --> 00:18:34,799
that you could hope for on orbit on this

327
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:42,070
yeah that's right

328
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:43,600
shoot tom what's been fun talking to you

329
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:45,360
guys but i guess we better get back off

330
00:18:49,029 --> 00:18:46,640
to work uh

331
00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:49,039
you got enough uh video and

332
00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:51,360
information uh for the

333
00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:53,919
the atp guys

334
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:55,360
yeah if you'll stand by one i just want

335
00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:57,280
to do one more uh config test here and

336
00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:58,160
we'll

337
00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:01,520
wrap it up after that standby one

338
00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:13,510
columbia houston just to close off gatv

339
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:15,039
i'm now transmitting on air to ground

340
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:16,880
one could you give us a report on the

341
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:23,669
yeah

342
00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:25,200
it's not unclear

343
00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:27,280
but it's uh not as good as what we had a

344
00:19:30,549 --> 00:19:28,400
minute ago

345
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,559
it's just a little bit

346
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:32,240
more grainy

347
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:34,559
if that's a decent description

348
00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:36,320
i understand some of that is probably

349
00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:38,559
due to my throat this morning but we'll

350
00:19:41,909 --> 00:19:40,080
try this config out again later in the

351
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:41,919
flight i hope and on other flights with

352
00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:44,160
the families this uh capability is going

353
00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:46,160
to be great for us thanks a lot for

354
00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:47,679
talking to us and spending some time on

355
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:49,120
the air and we'll talk to you on the

356
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:52,160
regular loops

357
00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:53,280
yeah it was a lot of fun and you're

358
00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:54,559
right this would be really neat with our

359
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,549
bye-bye

360
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:04,710
space lab huntsville for kathy no need

361
00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:07,600
to respond but we are currently waiting

362
00:20:14,149 --> 00:20:10,559
on approval to tips up the

363
00:20:15,909 --> 00:20:14,159
ifm to shim the x-axis video camera to

364
00:20:18,390 --> 00:20:15,919
correct this problem where it's

365
00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:18,400
currently slightly below center

366
00:20:22,710 --> 00:20:21,200
and as soon as that gets tipped up to

367
00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:22,720
you

368
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:29,840
rp1

369
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:37,510
in space lab huntsville for i'll be

370
00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:40,320
advised we have ku band coverage back

371
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:54,710
copy that

372
00:21:00,549 --> 00:20:58,149
now as we heard with the ku band signal

373
00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:00,559
capability we're again

374
00:21:05,029 --> 00:21:02,880
back into bringing multiple channels of

375
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:05,039
video to the ground

376
00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:07,520
and we have two types of video coming

377
00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:08,960
from the surface tension driven

378
00:21:13,430 --> 00:21:11,440
convection experiment currently

379
00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:13,440
in the module on tvc2 with your

380
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:30,230
this live video now showing us some

381
00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:33,200
dramatic gyrations by a drop of liquid

382
00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:34,159
which

383
00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:36,159
is currently deployed in the drop

384
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:37,520
physics module

385
00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:38,640
and

386
00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:40,640
now we're taking a 90 degree different

387
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:42,559
view of it it's

388
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:45,280
shaped much like a pancake now uh

389
00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:48,080
oscillating uh in uh

390
00:22:05,590 --> 00:21:57,029
said you can reduce the z drive level to

391
00:22:09,909 --> 00:22:07,909
and so below the spacecraft we have

392
00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:09,919
basically broad ocean areas with a few

393
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:17,669
colombia

394
00:22:22,990 --> 00:22:20,549
on its 51st orbit now

395
00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:23,000
out of what's planned as a

396
00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:26,159
255 orbit mission

397
00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:29,909
flying uh

398
00:22:33,830 --> 00:22:31,280
continuing to

399
00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:33,840
orbit the earth in a gravity gradient

400
00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:35,600
attitude where the tail of the

401
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,120
spacecraft is towards earth and the nose

402
00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:41,360
uh remains pointed towards deep space

403
00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:43,200
and now with a little camera switching

404
00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:45,120
we can take a look at

405
00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:47,520
its uh payload bay door the one which is

406
00:22:56,149 --> 00:22:50,799
uh partially closed

407
00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:56,159
that payload bay door being uh directed

408
00:23:04,710 --> 00:22:58,480
be the one which is in the

409
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,230
hey

410
00:23:12,630 --> 00:23:10,710
new view new type of view since this is

411
00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:12,640
the first mission where we routinely

412
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:14,640
have been keeping the payload bay door

413
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:15,600
partly
