you know i think it's time to give this
game
you can't tell that one
look at me
good morning columbia we know you're
ready to play and that you've even
brought a ball with you so i guess it's
time to go space walking
you cut that right we'll have a ball
playing with the ball
and it's not center field with the
yankees but it's the next best thing
can't have everything
this view from one of the payload bay
cameras looking up at the shuttle's
robotic arm attached to the
spartan satellite the red
dots on the satellite the targets that
will be used for this
experiment operations with the video
guidance sensor
this experiment using the spartan
satellite as a target and we'll collect
tracking data both when the target is
moving and also when the satellite is in
a static or a fixed position
and as mentioned the orbiter will be
maneuvered as well to
allow the video guidance sensors
performance to be tested under different
lighting conditions also 16 different
positions as well as distances
by maneuvering the robotic arm to
various locations around the payload bay
the video guidance sensor testing uh
visible now with the laser targeting
underway
this is uh position number seven
through uh the mid deck input and
through payload three
apparently the flight deck input is on a
different camera
and that's it
certainly is
and that config is good for us
great
you can call me from dgs
go ahead
yeah and uh
auto position number 50 uh dropped out
broke lock
uh watched it for a while and it's
getting locked and then braking lock it
just kind of going back and forth
we copy
and proceed on our next point
copy and concur
oh
three minutes
okay here we go
and that was successful i have a
successful soft dock
again there is compliance in the clay it
moves a little bit but not very much i
guess maybe six or eight inches before i
got soft dock i'm gonna release it and
try that same uh thing one more time
okay it's released it's back in soft
stock
i'll do the same thing
now of course i'm looking
underneath
the cable caddy at the grid and the dogs
to be sure that i line them up
before i insert it but here we go again
and i have soft stock that was good i'd
give it an a
for the small oru that was real nice
but y'all would you yell the train just
a bit more towards me please okay
you're the crane towards you
that's good thank you stop it
with the sideways
i've got a
four
i need three counterclockwise and
here we go
okay and there's five turns
and uh
and i'm sure you're watching they're
chasing and maybe houston but you could
see
the uh worksite move away from me as i
attempted to depress the uh
the guard that to drive the boat i can
only move maybe a foot and i was able to
do it successfully
during the pitch motion but it's pretty
stable
there you go
sprint retrieved with
the oiu tether
you can store the oiu teller at the
adjustable tools trigger and then get
sprint okay
and columbia houston you have a go for
sprint release
roger winston you have to go to release
okay steve here we go
i've released it and i'm moving back out
of the way
and steve we got good video down here we
got excellent video down here
great
as you can see i'm ready to
start the vrt head off
stand by there to count while we're
doing this sprint okay
he's going back to step six full size of
300.
and columbia houston for sprint
to give you guys a target
we would like to initiate step 14
at 17 40 in 20 minutes
copy
and houston columbia i just like to pass
on to the entire sprint team you know
it's a real small group of people
working on this and they worked very
hard and uh i think they got a real
honor here they hit a home run you can
pass on at the uh
it flew even better than i expected so
we're real pleased and i think we got a
real good piece of technology for use
maybe on a station and later tunnel
flights
you
