00:00:46,399 --> 00:01:21,749
so

3
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:23,350
good morning discovery and a special

4
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:26,080
good morning to you rick

5
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,840
good morning houston

6
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:29,840
thanks for that song and uh thanks to my

lisa and ann

9
00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:35,680
we got a lot of work accomplished up

10
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:36,960
here and we still got a little more and

11
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:38,320
we're looking forward to coming home

12
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:46,630
eastern discovery on the big loop for

13
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:52,870
go ahead discovery for robo

14
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,880
good morning

15
00:02:00,550 --> 00:01:56,640
steph and nelko are up and at them

16
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,560
pretty early and um we're wondering uh

17
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,000
if you're ready

18
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:04,719
uh we can uh

19
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:08,720
begin with the uh mplm operations

20
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:11,280
and discovery houston we have dsets

21
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:20,470
roadblocks for station discovery uh

22
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,670
teams here on the ground reporting that

23
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:31,599
the space station's robotic arm is now

24
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:34,080
in motion getting ready to pack the

25
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:36,080
leonardo multipurpose logistics module

26
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:37,840
into the shuttle's cargo bay for return

27
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:39,920
to earth

28
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:41,920
arms being controlled from the station's

29
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,640
destiny laboratory robotic workstation

30
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:46,640
by mission specialist stephanie wilson

31
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:54,949
getting a leonardo birth then

32
00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:56,480
letting go of it with the station arm

33
00:03:00,869 --> 00:02:59,519
and maneuvering the station arm to a

34
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:00,879
position that won't get in the way of

35
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,800
the dock late inspection

36
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:04,480
will take about an hour

37
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:09,589
and then

38
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:11,440
wilson will move

39
00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:13,280
straight over to the shuttle's robotic

40
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:14,400
workstation

41
00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:16,400
where she'll be working with pilot jim

42
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:18,159
dutton and mission specialist dottie

43
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:20,000
metcalf lindenberger to begin the

44
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:21,760
inspection of the shuttle's starboard

45
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:22,640
wing

46
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:39,430
the payload is in the bay fully latched

47
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,589
and uh will you proceed for undrafted

48
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:51,910
stand by where'd you actually do the

49
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,680
kill cam

50
00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:54,799
okay

51
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:57,439
but the key camera standing by

52
00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:59,120
lindenberger there reporting that

53
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,879
leonardo is now safely inside the

54
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:02,400
shuttle's cargo bay

55
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:05,360
the next step will be for the

56
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,000
robotics operators in destiny's

57
00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:11,040
laboratory to let go of the

58
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,879
module so that it can move away and make

59
00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:14,400
way for the next set of erotic

60
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:16,560
operations scheduled for the day the

61
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,270
staff you've got to go for mplm on

62
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:25,600
grapple

63
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,430
split screen view here from cameras

64
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,440
aboard the international space station

65
00:04:41,909 --> 00:04:39,600
of the robotics work

66
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:41,919
preparing to release the leonardo

67
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,680
multipurpose logistics module which you

68
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:45,680
can see the shuttle station robotic arm

69
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:47,120
has in the

70
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,720
both of these views and how about

71
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,040
yourself then move the arm out of the

72
00:05:14,469 --> 00:04:53,440
way for the next robotic operation the

73
00:06:59,909 --> 00:05:16,870
space station robotic arm slowly moving

74
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:01,430
robotics officers here on the ground

75
00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:04,080
report that the space station robotic

76
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:05,759
arm has reached its

77
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:08,000
back off point for the work that it's

78
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:10,240
been doing to get the leonardo module

79
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:11,919
installed inside the shuttle's cargo bay

80
00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:14,160
that means that portion of its work for

81
00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:17,919
the day is done it just now has to

82
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:19,759
maneuver into a position that gets sent

83
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:21,840
well out of the way of the

84
00:07:25,909 --> 00:07:24,240
state the shuttle's robotic arm as that

85
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:25,919
arm will be performing the late

86
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:27,440
inspection of the shuttle's heat shield

87
00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:28,880
today

88
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:31,919
so the leonardo module now back in full

89
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:33,680
possession of the space shuttle for the

90
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:35,599
first time since flight day four when it

91
00:08:21,749 --> 00:07:51,589
discovery recording is on

92
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:24,070
space shuttle discovery here orbiting

93
00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:25,440
along with the international space

94
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:27,520
station getting a view we don't normally

95
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:30,000
get to see of the uh inspection of the

96
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:32,320
shuttle's heat shield

97
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:34,159
it's being performed before the shuttle

98
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:36,880
undocks due to the fact that uh the

99
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:39,120
shuttle's own ku band and tuna

100
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:41,680
is uh not working this mission so

101
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,120
they're taking advantage of the

102
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:45,360
station's ku band antenna which allows

103
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:46,720
them to send large packets of

104
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:49,279
information down to the ground and also

105
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:50,800
video

106
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,240
and that's necessary to get the

107
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:54,640
information from the

108
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,720
heat heat shield inspection down to the

109
00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:58,560
experts on the ground to then study it

110
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:00,720
for any sign that discovery's heat

111
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:03,040
shield might have been damaged while

112
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:10,710
crew is working on the inspection of the

113
00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:13,839
starboard wing at the moment and

114
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:15,519
commander alan poindexter has been

115
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:18,160
working simultaneously to get the

116
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:20,640
video and data files

117
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:26,470
perform it and

118
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:28,800
transfer that or convert that rather

119
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:31,200
into files that can be transferred to

120
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:33,120
the station

121
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,480
via a

122
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:36,640
hard affordable hard drive

123
00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:38,640
for downlink to the teams here on the

124
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,630
view there of the orbiter boom sensor

125
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:04,399
system moving

126
00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:05,920
through the field of view on the end of

127
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:08,079
the space shuttle robotic arm that's a

128
00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,600
50 foot long

129
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:11,600
extension to the robotic arm that gives

130
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,480
it a 50 foot closer view of the heat

131
00:10:19,509 --> 00:10:16,560
shield that it's surveying

132
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:19,519
also a suite of sensors on the end for

133
00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:21,839
use in in that survey

134
00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:24,399
those sensors include a laser dynamic

135
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:26,399
range imager which combat combines an

136
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:28,720
infrared laser illuminator with an

137
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,800
infrared camera receiver

138
00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,200
to provide 3d video views of the heat

139
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:35,600
shield although in this case uh the team

140
00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:38,560
here on the ground to expedite the

141
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:40,560
down linking to the ground

142
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:42,560
through the space station's ku band

143
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:44,959
antenna they're actually performing that

144
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,360
part of the inspection in 2d

145
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:49,440
just two dimensional video

146
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,720
that uh

147
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,640
was the case also for the

148
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,399
flight day 2 inspection of the shuttle's

149
00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:56,640
heat shield and

150
00:11:01,430 --> 00:11:00,079
team here on the ground

151
00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:01,440
reported early in the mission that they

152
00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:04,160
actually had not needed the 3d video

153
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:05,839
views of the heat shield for the past

154
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,959
few missions so they thought they could

155
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:08,560
get along without them this time as well

156
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:09,279
and

157
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:11,760
that turned out to be the case so uh is

158
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:15,040
the method being used again today

159
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:16,720
other sensors on the end of the orbiter

160
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:19,920
boom sensor system include

161
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:21,760
an intensified television camera which

162
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,760
provides the same standard video views

163
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:25,279
that the other cameras on the robotic

164
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:28,560
arm provide but 50 feet closer and then

165
00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:30,320
there's also the

166
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:32,320
laser camera system which can generate

167
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,160
3d models of the heat shield that are

168
00:12:53,110 --> 00:11:36,720
accurate to within a few millimeters

169
00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:55,430
here's a discovery on two at the bottom

170
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,990
discovery houston copies

171
00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:07,750
discovery houston air to ground 2 for

172
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:14,629
i want to just let you you and the crew

173
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:15,600
know that you guys are doing an

174
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:18,480
outstanding job working this inspection

175
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:19,279
and

176
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:21,120
i want to give you some good news you we

177
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:23,200
show you guys presently about the two

178
00:13:28,470 --> 00:13:26,399
hours ahead of the schedule and um we

179
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:28,480
know that you're complete with the nose

180
00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:30,079
cap survey and on your way over to the

181
00:13:33,829 --> 00:13:31,279
port side

182
00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:33,839
so we're gonna let it be your call as to

183
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:35,680
whether or not you guys want to take a

184
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:37,760
break at this time or if you want to go

185
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:44,949
thanks for the offer we'd like to get

186
00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:46,320
get through this and get the data down

187
00:13:51,189 --> 00:13:48,079
to the ground as quickly as we can so

188
00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:51,199
we're all taking breaks periodically and

189
00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:52,720
we're in good shape so we'll continue

190
00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:54,639
with the port survey
