00:00:36,399 --> 00:01:09,270
the stories

2
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:12,710
and every houston good morning

3
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:35,990
continuing to fly a very precise course

4
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:37,840
up toward the mere space station and

5
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:40,240
this view from the mir space station

6
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:42,079
looking at endeavour as it continues its

7
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,960
approach

8
00:02:05,030 --> 00:01:44,799
toward the mir now at a distance of just

9
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:12,229
um

10
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:14,229
and this view of the crew cabin of

11
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,920
endeavour from its overhead windows

12
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:18,000
houston we're with you tdrs z and vyamir

13
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:19,360
we're looking in through your two

14
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,070
these are the overhead windows in the

15
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:32,480
crew cabin of endeavor as it is now just

16
00:03:14,550 --> 00:02:35,599
about 43 feet away from mir this view

17
00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:16,790
as endeavor approaches the 30 foot

18
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:18,480
distance from the mirror space station

19
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:20,080
this view of the overhead windows in the

20
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:22,080
crew cabin of endeavour

21
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:23,680
very shortly the crew will begin its

22
00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:25,920
station keeping at the 30-foot level

23
00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:27,840
before receiving their final go decision

24
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,159
to proceed for at the docking with mir

25
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:31,920
that docking expected just about 11

26
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:37,509
docking will take place in darkness as

27
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:39,760
this view also is in orbital night as

28
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:41,680
the two spacecraft now are some 209

29
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:44,799
nautical miles or 240 statute miles

30
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,390
quick copyright

31
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:03,830
the crew is reporting that they have

32
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:05,840
cited the docking target on board mirror

33
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:07,920
and that no course correction is

34
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,550
and the crew is now beginning its final

35
00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:29,040
approach to the mirror passing inside

36
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,199
the 30-foot mark as it continues a very

37
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:32,880
slow approach for docking with the near

38
00:04:50,629 --> 00:04:48,950
endeavor now within 25 feet

39
00:05:21,350 --> 00:04:50,639
closing at a rate up about one tenth of

40
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:29,590
yes yes

41
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,430
and contact between endeavor and the

42
00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:33,360
mere space station confirmed on time at

43
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:36,720
2 14 p.m central time

44
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:58,310

aboard the mere space station as

47
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:03,199
endeavor is now initiating a

48
00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,560
post-contact thrust maneuver to

49
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:08,479
to drive the two rings together to

50
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:10,080
create a hard mate between the two

51
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:35,830
uh

52
00:06:35,840 --> 00:07:02,150

and we also accept some of the crew

118
00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:20,079

confusing for a year and a half now i'm

126
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:01,600
not sure whether i live in russia space

127
00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:04,000
or america but i know it's going to be

128
00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,920
