00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:40,670
participating in the EBA on this mission

31
00:02:50,699 --> 00:02:47,030
along with Wednesday Scott and next to

32
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:50,709
him here is Wednesday Scott who will be

00:02:59,770 --> 00:02:53,150
also doing the EBA during the flight

34
00:03:03,190 --> 00:02:59,780
what the cowboy and our payload

35
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:03,200
specialist lay it at cotton yoke from

36
00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:07,850
the Ukraine we'll be investigating plant

37
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:20,910
this is shuttle launch control at

38
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:24,850
t-minus two hours 56 minutes 55 seconds

39
00:03:31,550 --> 00:03:28,450
and counting where we see the STS 87

40
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:31,560
Astra now are entering the elevator or

41
00:03:37,290 --> 00:03:35,470
ride down two floors from the astronaut

42
00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:37,300
quarters to the astronaut van which will

43
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:42,030
transport them the approximately 7 mile

44
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:46,330
distance out to launch pad 39b garage

45
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:48,400
which will take approximately 20 minutes

46
00:04:25,660 --> 00:03:54,720
or so see some KSC employees behind the

47
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:29,030
the after then now approaching the pad

48
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:35,340
perimeter leave the man and what the

49
00:04:40,010 --> 00:04:37,590
elevator to the orbiter access arm and

50
00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:40,020
the closeout crew ready to assist them

51
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:47,960
in boarding Columbia and here we see our

52
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:53,190
commander Kevin Kregel preparing to port

53
00:04:59,470 --> 00:04:57,120
Columbia and there to cowboy is the

54
00:05:03,140 --> 00:04:59,480
mission specialist who would be boarding

55
00:05:07,190 --> 00:05:03,150
next here very shortly as soon as Kevin

56
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:07,200
Kriegel boards the orbiter this is

57
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:09,090
actually a view from the flight deck and

58
00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:11,670
now he's climbing up into the commander

59
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:15,390
seat keep in mind that everything is in

60
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:17,010
the vertical here he's getting

61
00:05:25,129 --> 00:05:20,010
assistance from another astronaut

62
00:05:28,429 --> 00:05:26,960
right now he's just positioning himself

63
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:28,439
in the seat it's very important that

64
00:05:32,029 --> 00:05:30,240
they get in the seat straight they've

65
00:05:33,890 --> 00:05:32,039
got some emergency oxygen bottles

66
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:33,900
strapped to their back on the harness

67
00:05:37,719 --> 00:05:35,610
and then they'll be laying on top of the

68
00:05:40,969 --> 00:05:37,729
parachute and they could be in there for

69
00:05:43,339 --> 00:05:40,979
upwards of three plus hours today and

70
00:05:46,219 --> 00:05:43,349
it's very important that he's in a

71
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:46,229
position where nothing is in his back

72
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:47,969
and there'll be two people working on

73
00:05:50,809 --> 00:05:48,240
them

74
00:05:53,689 --> 00:05:50,819
there's several connections here you see

75
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:53,699
two cowboy getting in into the mid-deck

76
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,889
and what we try and do here is strap one

77
00:06:03,020 --> 00:05:58,319
person at a time in both the flight deck

78
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:03,030
and midday so this cow is ms3 and he'll

79
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:06,240
be assisted by another strap in

80
00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:09,840
personnel on the mid-deck now once Kevin

81
00:06:14,119 --> 00:06:11,759
is strapped in and has his cooling and

82
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:14,129
the oxygen hooked up they'll begin to

83
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:18,810
put on his helmet and that core there

84
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:21,289
will be hooked up for his communications

85
00:06:26,209 --> 00:06:23,449
following his strapped in they'll do

86
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:26,219
some communications checks just to make

87
00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:27,930
sure that everything is in line before

88
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:32,580
they move on to the next there's a shot

89
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:38,160
looks like he's got his harness on and

90
00:06:44,910 --> 00:06:40,090
he'll be waiting to be the second person

91
00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:44,920
on the mid-deck there's the the pilot

92
00:06:52,310 --> 00:06:46,870
steve lindsey climbing into the flight

93
00:06:57,470 --> 00:06:54,410
go ask Steve to reach up and grab two

94
00:06:58,940 --> 00:06:57,480
hand holds and this particular maneuver

95
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:58,950
here is very similar to just doing a

96
00:07:02,650 --> 00:07:00,960
pull-up he's pull self up into the seat

97
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:02,660
getting his feet in position

98
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:04,890
do you see is holding on to his

99
00:07:08,690 --> 00:07:07,230
emergency oxygen bottles to keep them on

100
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:08,700
each side of the parachute and then

101
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:10,170
they'll begin the process all over again

102
00:07:16,130 --> 00:07:12,690
if getting Steve positioned correctly on

103
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:16,140
a parachute for comfort here's a great

104
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:18,810
shot I landed he's in the seat now the

105
00:07:21,770 --> 00:07:20,130
second crewmember on the mid-deck

106
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:21,780
they'll be hooking up his cooling at

107
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:30,250
this is our first flight of Ukrainian on

108
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:36,290
the shuttle yeah let's go

109
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:40,310
yeah 5:30 a couple o'clock a COS copy

110
00:08:15,690 --> 00:07:43,370
the we need us to MCC on channel 1 16

111
00:08:20,020 --> 00:08:17,980
Seconal patient this is the entity for

112
00:08:21,910 --> 00:08:20,030
pointer lock status cut so if I ready to

113
00:08:24,750 --> 00:08:21,920

go help you go you look like Justin

116
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:49,100
flights go and I thought they all watch

117
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:50,750
quicker than to eat watch them is ready

118
00:08:58,770 --> 00:08:51,440
to proceed

119
00:09:05,260 --> 00:09:01,480
safety and they say safety and mission

120
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:05,270
assurance is go right weather no context

121
00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:12,650

130
00:10:22,490 --> 00:10:20,460
shuttle Columbia on a mission combining

131
00:10:36,740 --> 00:10:22,500
science and the practical aspects of

132
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:36,750
space control it's down wings level

133
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:38,850

00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:41,010
orbit incline 20 and 1/2 degrees to

135
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:52,300
three inches on board Columbia now

136
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:54,710
traveling back to 67% of rated thrust as

137
00:10:58,300 --> 00:10:56,090
the orbiter passes through the area of

138
00:11:18,340 --> 00:10:58,310
maximum aerodynamic pressure in the

139
00:11:25,630 --> 00:11:21,110
three inches now ramping back up to 104

140
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:30,190
Columbia go at throttle up Columbia

141
00:11:34,580 --> 00:11:32,490
Columbia Street liquid-fuel engines are

142
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:34,590
now back at four throttle 104 percent of

143
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:36,810
rated thrust altitude now eleven miles

144
00:11:49,060 --> 00:11:48,010
one minute 30 seconds into flight with

145
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:49,070
more than two and a quarter million

146
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:50,570
pounds of propellant having already been

147
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:52,790
consumed Colombia now weighs half of

148
00:11:57,130 --> 00:11:55,430
what it did at liftoff stand by for the

149
00:11:58,660 --> 00:11:57,140
next major ban which will be the burnout

150
00:12:00,670 --> 00:11:58,670
and separation of the twin solid rocket

151
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:00,680
boosters that coming up in a little more

152
00:12:04,750 --> 00:12:02,110
than two minutes into the flight

153
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:04,760
altitude now 20 miles downrange distance

154
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:29,900
booster officer confirms good separation

155
00:12:37,610 --> 00:12:46,269
Columbia performance is nominal

in the middle behind them and to his

164
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:07,560
right mission specialist Colton the

165
00:14:40,939 --> 00:13:10,560
travel up this video of the launch

166
00:14:48,439 --> 00:14:43,039
and I could probably tell my lights that

167
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:48,449
was the role the heads-up thanks Kevin
