00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:30,480
activated

9
00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:37,590
three engines up and ready

10
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:38,480
three

11
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:39,360
two

12
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,480

zero booster ignition

14
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:45,200
and liftoff of discovery

15
00:00:53,069 --> 00:00:47,200
blazing a trail to scientific

16
00:00:53,079 --> 00:01:01,510
station discovery

17
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:03,110
space shuttle discovery is rolling into

18
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:04,799
a heads down position putting it on

19
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:09,360
course for 51.6 degree 136 by 36 statute

20
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:11,200
orbit and eventually the international

21
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,830
discovery's three liquid-fueled main

22
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:25,360
engines are now throttling down to

23
00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,880
reduce stress on the shuttle as it

24
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:28,960
travels through the area of maximum

25
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:31,520
dynamic pressure discovery is already at

26
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,600
an altitude of 4.7 miles or 26

27
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:37,439
500 feet

28
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:49,030
traveling 1 000 miles per hour

29
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,720
discovery's engines are now throttled

30
00:02:04,310 --> 00:01:52,240
back up and performing at full cut

31
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:05,590
i had lived off the shuttle weighed more

32
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:07,200
than four and a half million pounds and

33
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,160
now

34
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,879
one minute and 27 seconds into the

35
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:12,480
flight the main engines and solid rocket

36
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:13,840
boosters have reduced that weight by

37
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,040
about half

38
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:17,360
solid rock rocket boosters alone are

39
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:19,599
burning 11 000 pounds of propellant per

40
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:22,080
second and the external tank is now 3

41
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:29,270
discovery is now

42
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:32,400
21 miles away from its launch pad and 22

43
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,440
miles in altitude traveling

44
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:37,200
2700 miles per hour all three main

45
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:39,360
engines are working just as expected the

46
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,959
three fuel cells are generating power

47
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:43,280
and three auxiliary power units are all

48
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,440
producing pressure in short everything

49
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:48,160
performing well

50
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:49,760
two minutes and seven seconds into the

51
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,830
the booster officer in the mission

52
00:03:01,830 --> 00:02:59,360
control center has confirmed solid

53
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:01,840
rocket booster separation all systems

54
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,949
two orbital maneuvering system engines

55
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:14,800
on discovery's tail are now firing as

56
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:16,879
well providing the shuttle and extra

57
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:18,959
boost into orbit the engine burn will

58
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:22,319
last one minute and 44 seconds

59
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,630
discovery copies two engines

60
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,640
that call indicates that discovery can

61
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,560
now reach in spain should one of

62
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,879
the three main engines fail however all

63
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:38,239
three of those managers are currently

64
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:40,159
working well

65
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:41,920
two minutes and 59 seconds into the

66
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:44,560
flight and discovery is now

67
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:47,360
79 miles away from kennedy space center

68
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:49,200
in florida

69
00:04:14,149 --> 00:03:52,000
48 miles in altitude and traveling at

70
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:15,670
space shuttle discovery also seeing the

71
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:18,639
first of many sunrises of the sts-3131

72
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:38,710
discovery houston you are negative

73
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:45,110
discovery copies negative return

74
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:47,120
discovery is now flying too high and too

75
00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:48,800
fast to return to the kennedy space

76
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:51,280
center in the event of an engine failure

77
00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:52,880
that's not currently a problem however

78
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:54,720
as all engines are continuing to perform

79
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,560
as expected

80
00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:58,000
four minutes and 15 seconds into

81
00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:00,320
discovery's flight shuttle is traveling

82
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:03,039
6 000 miles per hour at an altitude of

83
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:07,919
63 miles and uh is 181 miles away from

84
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:29,110
environmental systems officer here in

85
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:30,560
mission controls confirmed that the

86
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:32,160
flash evaporator system has been

87
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,759
activated to provide cooling to the

88
00:06:02,710 --> 00:05:35,520
shuttle system until the shuttle's cargo

89
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,830
discovery press to ato

90
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:12,550
discovery copies press to ato

91
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,909
should two of the shuttle's three main

92
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,520
engines fail after this point that can

93
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:17,039
still reach us safe though lower than

94
00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:19,120
planned orbit as that call from capcom

95
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:21,039
rickster co-indicated

96
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:23,280
discovery is now five

97
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:25,280
minutes and 42 minutes seconds and two

98
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:32,830
discovery single engine knobs

99
00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:36,720
three 67 miles in altitude and 351 miles

100
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,400
away from kennedy space center discovery

101
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:39,919
could still make it across the atlantic

102
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,960
for an abort landing even if two three

103
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:44,639
three main engines failed at this point

104
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:46,240
all engines are performing well every

105
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:59,990
discovery single engine

106
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:01,270
discovery now

107
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:04,800
flying more than 10 000 miles per hour

108
00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:07,520
66 miles in altitude and 430 miles away

109
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:15,110
discovery press tomiko

110
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:18,550
discovery copies press tomeko

111
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:20,000
and that call indicates the discovery

112
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,360
can reach its planned orbit of 136 by 36

113
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:25,520
statute miles even if one of the engines

114
00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:27,280
fails all three engines are still

115
00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:28,560
working well

116
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:31,039
as are the auxiliary power units and the

117
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:45,110
discover you are single engine press

118
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,240
your shutdown plan is nominal

119
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:50,240
go for the plus x go for the pitch

120
00:08:01,909 --> 00:07:59,990
even if two engines were to fail at this

121
00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:01,919
point discovery could still make its

122
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,680
planned orbit with just one that

123
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:05,360
shouldn't be necessary however as all

124
00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:06,879
three engines are still performing at

125
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:09,520
full capability

126
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:11,280
also capcom rick starkel there letting

127
00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:13,360
commander alan point extra know the

128
00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:15,039
discovery will cut off its three main

129
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,560
engines as planned and that he has the

130
00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:18,720
go ahead then to pitch discovery up to

131
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:21,039
allow for photos of the external tank to

132
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:22,879
be taken after its external after its

133
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:31,430
discovery now 7 minutes and 48 seconds

134
00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:32,959
into its uh

135
00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:35,519
mission traveling at 15 000 miles per

136
00:09:10,870 --> 00:08:38,479
hour 63 miles in altitude and 730 miles

137
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:12,230
the booster officer here in mission

138
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:13,839
control is reporting that discovery's

139
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:16,000
three main engines have been shut off

140
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:20,320
now waiting for external tank separation

141
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:23,440
discovery houston nominal miko ohms1 is

142
00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:26,080
not required

143
00:09:35,829 --> 00:09:34,070
there is the external tank separation

144
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:35,839
eight minutes and 53 seconds into the

145
00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:38,640
sts-130 mission discovery now safely in

146
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:43,829
66 miles above the earth

147
00:09:50,110 --> 00:09:47,839
and traveling at 17 500 miles per hour
