1 00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:10,310 the space shuttle discovery named for 2 00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:12,880 past ships of exploration was delivered 3 00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:14,960 from its palmdale california shuttle 4 00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,119 factory to nasa's kennedy space center 5 00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:19,680 in november 1983. 6 00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:21,920 since then discovery has lived up to the 7 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,240 historic legacy of its name 8 00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:26,320 it flew to space more times than any 9 00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:27,840 other spacecraft 10 00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:30,240 in orbit it released a telescope to 11 00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:32,800 probe the universe and a spacecraft to 12 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,559 explore the sun 13 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,320 it carried laboratories to study 14 00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:38,640 weightlessness and instruments to study 15 00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:41,120 the earth and its atmosphere 16 00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:43,280 early in its career discovery became the 17 00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:45,280 first spacecraft to bring a satellite 18 00:01:00,229 --> 00:00:57,590 but perhaps even more compelling than 19 00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:00,239 the discoveries that enabled in space is 20 00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:02,000 the spirit this vehicle has helped 21 00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:09,830 its missions include flights that 22 00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:11,840 showcased how one time cold war 23 00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:14,080 adversaries can become long-term friends 24 00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,759 for exploration 25 00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:17,600 its flights further expanded space 26 00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:20,560 travel beyond boundaries of age gender 27 00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:21,680 and race 28 00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:23,920 counting among those who flew on it the 29 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,240 oldest astronaut the first female 30 00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,560 shuttle pilot and the first african 31 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:30,560 american space walker 32 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:33,119 but above all discovery twice proved 33 00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:34,960 that america had the will and the 34 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:37,200 determination to persevere 35 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:39,280 and succeed in the face of devastating 36 00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:40,960 grief and tragedy 37 00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:43,360 returning america to space after the 38 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:50,710 discovery is the most accomplished space 39 00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:53,600 shuttle ever set to complete 39 flights 40 00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:56,719 in all amounting to over 5 000 trips 41 00:02:09,510 --> 00:01:59,439 around the earth and more than 300 days 42 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:11,750 discovery's long history in space began 43 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:15,280 in august 1984. three two 44 00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,640 one 45 00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:18,959 we have srb ignition and we have liftoff 46 00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:22,000 liftoff of mission 41d the first flight 47 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:23,760 of the orbiter discovery and the shuttle 48 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,440 has cleared the tower 49 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,040 when it launched from the kennedy space 50 00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:29,280 center on sts-41d 51 00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,080 discovery held more than 41 000 pounds 52 00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,640 of cargo in its payload bay a shuttle 53 00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,480 record at the time 54 00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,640 the primary cargo consisted of three 55 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:40,720 communications satellites 56 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:43,200 among them was leesat the first large 57 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,200 communications satellite specifically 58 00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,959 designed to be deployed by a space 59 00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:48,239 shuttle 60 00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:50,400 the six-person crew deployed all three 61 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:52,959 satellites and tested an experimental 62 00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:55,760 solar array wing to prove technology for 63 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:03,910 on its second mission sts-51a in 64 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:07,200 november 1984 discovery headed to orbit 65 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,440 to deploy two more satellites and 66 00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:11,200 retrieve two others 67 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,120 the spectacular retrievals would be 68 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,040 accomplished by astronauts using jet 69 00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:17,360 packs called the man maneuvering units 70 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,280 or mmus 71 00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:21,280 the retrieval of the first satellite 72 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,799 palapa b2 took some improvisation 73 00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:26,959 spacewalker joe allen first captured the 74 00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:29,680 satellite with a device called a stinger 75 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,720 and guided it to discovery's payload bay 76 00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:35,200 after experiencing initial problems the 77 00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:37,440 crew teamed up to manually birth it in 78 00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:50,710 the mission marked the final time the 79 00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,350 in 1985 discovery became the only 80 00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:59,519 shuttle to fly four missions in the same 81 00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:00,560 year 82 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:03,200 one of those sts-51d 83 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,080 included two more satellite deploys 84 00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:08,159 utah senator jake garn was a mission 85 00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:10,319 specialist on the crew becoming the 86 00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:12,319 first sitting member of congress to fly 87 00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:13,760 in space 88 00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:15,920 during landing discovery suffered a 89 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,560 blown front tire and brake damage 90 00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:20,400 the incident prompted nasa to move 91 00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,240 future shuttle landings to edwards air 92 00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,800 force base in california until nose 93 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:26,800 wheel steering and brake improvements 94 00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,590 the tragic loss of the shuttle 95 00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:41,680 challenger and its seven crew members 96 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:45,280 stunned the world in january 1986. 97 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:47,440 in its aftermath nasa turned to 98 00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:50,080 discovery to return americans to space 99 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,720 with a myriad of safety improvements 100 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:54,960 with the world watching discovery 101 00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:03,430 americans return to space as discovery 102 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,189 during the 4-day sts-26 return to flight 103 00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:13,680 mission discovery's crew deployed a nasa 104 00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:15,840 tracking and data relay satellite 105 00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:17,680 identical to the one lost aboard 106 00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:18,880 challenger 107 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:21,039 a host of experiments were performed 108 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:23,039 before discovery made a triumphant 109 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:31,830 discovery welcome back a great ending to 110 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:38,790 in 1990 discovery flew a pair of 111 00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:40,960 missions to extend humankind's vision 112 00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:43,440 into the cosmos 113 00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:45,759 in april discovery carried the hubble 114 00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:49,039 space telescope to orbit on sts-31 115 00:05:53,070 --> 00:05:50,800 releasing it at the highest altitude 116 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:53,080 flown by a shuttle to that date almost 117 00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:55,280 380 miles 118 00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:57,199 hubble's 20 years of observing the 119 00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:59,199 universe have yielded breathtaking 120 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,759 images and a better understanding of our 121 00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:03,840 place in the cosmos 122 00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:05,840 discovery would be called upon to visit 123 00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:07,919 and upgrade the telescope on two 124 00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,400 subsequent missions sts-82 in 1997 and 125 00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:13,919 sts-103 126 00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:22,870 in october 1990 discovery launched the 127 00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:25,199 european space agency built ulysses 128 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:28,000 spacecraft the robotic probe would make 129 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:30,240 unprecedented observations of the sun's 130 00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:35,280 polar regions for the next 18 years 131 00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:37,039 when discovery was built in the early 132 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:39,520 1980s few would have envisioned its 133 00:06:44,350 --> 00:06:41,600 crews or destinations including a 134 00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:44,360 program that began on its 18th flight 135 00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:48,319 sts-60 in february 1994. 136 00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,080 the mission was the first cooperative 137 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,319 human space flight between nasa and the 138 00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:54,800 russian federal space agency of the 139 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,960
