00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:03,909
hi i'm garrett riesman a nasa astronaut

2
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:06,160
and a graduate of parsippany high school

3
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:08,320
in parsippany new jersey i can't tell

4
00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:09,840
you that i definitely knew back in high

5
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:11,920
school that i'd be an astronaut someday

6
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:13,440
but i can tell you that it would not

7
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,120
have been possible without solid skills

8
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:17,920
in science technology engineering and

9
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:18,880
math

10
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:20,640
so if you're a student take it from me

11
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,640
education is a ticket to an incredible

12
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:24,720
future what you learned today can help

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:09,830
in the morning

14
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:43,749

and morning also to uh

18
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:58,399
simone it was behind the selection of

19
00:02:02,469 --> 00:01:59,600
that soon

20
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:02,479
makes us all feel like dancing

21
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:03,439
and

22
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:04,719

and we copy thank you

24
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,680
good morning from the johnson space

25
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:17,520
center this is mission control houston a

26
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:19,280
beautiful view of the international

27
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:21,920
space station and space shuttle atlantis

28
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:24,400
flying high above southeastern russia

29
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:26,239
just about to make a pass

30
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:28,319
across the sahelene islands before

31
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,040
heading out across the pacific ocean

32
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,200
today the name of the game is robotics

33
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,000
you'll see quite a bit of robotic arm

34
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,400
activity today both with the shuttle

35
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,959
robotic arm and the station's arm

36
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:42,560
the

37
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:46,319
crew before heading to bed yesterday

38
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:49,120
grappled the payload of choice today

39
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:51,599
that is the russian mini research module

40
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:54,640
ras viet the russian word for dawn which

41
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:55,680
will be

42
00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:58,400
moved from atlantis's payload bay and

43
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:01,200
handed off to the station's robotic arm

44
00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:04,400
the station's arm was relocated

45
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:07,519
to the power and data grapple fixture

46
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,480
on the u.s laboratory destiny

47
00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:13,200
it is in a strategic position there to

48
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:14,319
accept

49
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:15,120
its

50
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,080
newest

51
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:18,640
payload the mrm1

52
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:21,440
which is destined for a final home

53
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:24,400
on the azaria control modules nader

54
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,680
docking port nader the earth-facing port

55
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:29,840
of the zarya control module the

56
00:04:07,429 --> 00:03:32,400
station's first element launched

57
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:09,270
pull over release

58
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:12,560
for 40 seconds i'll take it off ready on

59
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:21,909
this is just releasing the locks to it

60
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,000
i've got barbara pull over

61
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,720
it looks like it released

62
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:28,960
it actually moves

63
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:31,280
and bar pull over release take the

64
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:33,600
switch to off

65
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,080
d mate

66
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:38,000
that's with this one and i should get

67
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:39,120
released

68
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:40,880
to verify

69
00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:57,510
weird is the same one that i had from

70
00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:02,310
all right tony so what did you do this

71
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:04,720
morning yeah i got up this morning and i

72
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:07,039
got all cleaned up

73
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:08,160
good shave

74
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:10,880
and we pulled mrm1 out of the payload

75
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,759
bay

76
00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:13,280
and you probably can see that better in

77
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:14,560
the monitor

78
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,400
and uh in the bottom view is our camera

79
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:20,400
looking in our payload bay at mrm1 and

80
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:22,840
then our top view is the

81
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:25,520
station's big arm and defector and you

82
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:27,759
can see we lined it up so they can just

83
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:30,720
go in and grapple and uh

84
00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,840
big cheese over in the cupola

85
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:35,280
flying the big arm he's going to grapple

86
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:37,039
the module and plug it into the bottom

87
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:43,670
and uh big g on the big loop uh the

88
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:46,000
srms has the mrn1 at the handoff

89
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:47,919
position with the brakes on you go for

90
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:50,240
grapple

91
00:06:03,670 --> 00:06:00,950
the mrm is now in a position for uh

92
00:06:06,710 --> 00:06:03,680
handoff to the stations a robotic arm

93
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:06,720
the end effector for the ss rms or the

94
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,919
canadarm2 off to the left the location

95
00:06:14,309 --> 00:06:11,440
where the shuttle arm is currently

96
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:14,319
grappled that is a small airlock that

97
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:16,240
will be used

98
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:17,360
later

99
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:19,039
in assembly of the station when the

100
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:20,400
russian

101
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:22,880
partner delivers a

102
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:26,560
multi-purpose laboratory module the mlm

103
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:27,680
which is

104
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,400
slated to launch in a couple of years on

105
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:32,400
a proton rocket

106
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:35,759
the this uh small airlock will be used

107
00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:37,199
for uh

108
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:40,880
conduct of uh experiments in the vacuum

109
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:45,440
of space super bueno uh term at 48 and

110
00:07:05,189 --> 00:06:48,319
you have a go for the uh

111
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:08,070
and houston atlantis on two first cwc i

112
00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:09,120
fill

113
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:22,710
copy bueno 2103

114
00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:24,309
looks good

115
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:27,120
this is a live action shot

116
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:29,680
live action you can't see the angle is

117
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:32,160
not too good but this is garrett

118
00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:33,360
gravity

119
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,759
grappling mrm1

120
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:37,280
okay and i'll turn this off quick

121
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:38,880
because it's not too much of an angle

122
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:40,560
we'll catch their faces from a better

123
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:42,880
angle in just a bit all right

124
00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:45,360
now we're in the cupola this is the view

125
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,759
we showed you from the shuttle got it

126
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:49,120
says the right

127
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:55,830
the station arm now has a firm grasp of

128
00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:56,720
the

129
00:08:02,150 --> 00:07:59,680
newest module that will be moved from

130
00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:02,160
the shuttle's payload bay now over to

131
00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:05,039
its permanent home the attach point on

132
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:07,759
the earth-facing port of the zarya

133
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:17,670
the shuttle's arm will be moved to a

134
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:21,759
safe distance backing away from the mrm1

135
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:24,720
once it reaches that safe distance the

136
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,400
shuttle team will give the station team

137
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:28,319
a go for

138
00:08:33,829 --> 00:08:31,360
mrm-1 operations that would be the

139
00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:33,839
go to start maneuvering the module

140
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:36,800
up to its uh permanent home on the zarya

141
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:38,640
control module of the international

142
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:47,030
and uh big g

143
00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,480
this is uh atlantis on the big loop

144
00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:52,560
we're at the mrm1 clearance position

145
00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:54,320
with the brakes on your go to maneuver

146
00:09:03,190 --> 00:08:59,750
okay cappy all we're going to put that

147
00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:05,509
and houston iss robo starting the

148
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:08,000
aircast

149
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:16,389
and this is roughly a uh 20 minute

150
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:18,000
maneuver that will

151
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:19,440
reposition

152
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:22,080

153
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,320
pre-install position

154
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:26,560
the module has a number of components on

155
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:29,680
the outside destined for future use

156
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:32,080
at other locations on the international

157
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:34,640

one is uh

194
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:05,360
has a max a diameter of

195
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:07,120
just under eight feet

196
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:11,120
and it has a length of uh 20 feet with a

197
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:14,480
pressurized volume of 614 cubic feet

198
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,760
and a habitable volume of 207

199
00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:20,160
cubic feet once installed on the

200
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:22,480
international space station

201
00:11:26,949 --> 00:11:24,560
the overall complex will have a

202
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,959
habitable volume of 12

203
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,560
hundred and five

204
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,519
cubic feet with a pressurized volume of

205
00:11:46,430 --> 00:11:33,760
twenty nine thousand five hundred cubic

206
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,230
214

207
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:50,320
miles above algeria

208
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:51,600
headed toward

209
00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:52,800
tunisia

210
00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:54,839
and the coastline of the

211
00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:58,000
mediterranean continuing with the

212
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:01,360
auto sequence robotic arm movement to

213
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:04,000
the pre-install or pre-docking position

214
00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:21,350
station houston big loop for robotics

215
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:23,040
whenever you guys are ready you have a

216
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:25,519
go let's go number three and nine

217
00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:28,160
decimal two

218
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:30,240
that's right copy that we are

219
00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:36,870
yeah the crew now is in the process of

220
00:12:40,470 --> 00:12:39,680
uh activating the docking mechanism on

221
00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:40,480
the

222
00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:44,959
probe

223
00:13:02,310 --> 00:12:48,399
the first contact with the docking

224
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:04,550
station houston for robotics on the big

225
00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:05,600
loop

226
00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:07,519
all those tv cameras are configured

227
00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,079
correctly down here you have a go for

228
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:12,480
docking of mrm1

229
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:14,240
wow it's funny okay we gotta go for

230
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:16,639
docking mrm1

231
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:19,600
and let you know we have a great view of

232
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:23,360
the docking camera on our rws monitor

233
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:35,910
and the final procedures for docking of

234
00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:38,480
the rassvet module to its

235
00:14:00,949 --> 00:13:40,320
permanent home on the zarya control

236
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:05,269
copy

237
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:14,069
and houston uh iss robot that's the

238
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:15,440
first bad thing

239
00:14:19,350 --> 00:14:17,680
we uh looked like a pretty good docking

240
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:19,360
we never got contact one straight down

241
00:14:38,310 --> 00:14:22,160
the middle and got capture and contact

242
00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:41,030
the uh mini research module russ viet

243
00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:43,279
the russian word for dawn now at its

244
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:44,959
permanent home on the international

245
00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:52,949
and houston atlantis

246
00:15:06,389 --> 00:14:54,639
for obs on birth

247
00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:09,110
the station's robotic arm

248
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:12,959
is operated from inside the cupola the

249
00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:15,600
view you see here is of garrett riesman

250
00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:18,880
and piers sellers as they have been

251
00:15:23,030 --> 00:15:20,639
pretty much in charge of the station

252
00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:23,040
robotic arm operations throughout the

253
00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:24,000
day

254
00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:26,800
the robotic workstation was relocated

255
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:29,120
from the u.s lab

256
00:15:33,269 --> 00:15:30,560
destiny

257
00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:33,279
to the robotic workstation a couple of

258
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:34,480
weeks ago

259
00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:37,600
the cupola always has been the what was

260
00:15:41,110 --> 00:15:38,959
considered the

261
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:41,120
permanent home of the robotic

262
00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:44,079
workstation because of the unique views

263
00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:46,160
that it can provide

264
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:48,240
the crew members for situational

265
00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:49,360
awareness

266
00:15:54,069 --> 00:15:51,600
crew members also have

267
00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:54,079
several television monitors computer

268
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:55,279
screens

269
00:15:59,430 --> 00:15:56,320
that

270
00:16:01,509 --> 00:15:59,440
can also help them with

271
00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:01,519
the location of the station's robotic

272
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,399
arm and proximity to its various work

273
00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:09,030
all right houston copy i'll terminate at

274
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:11,360
uh 15 48

275
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:13,680
and uh we'll start go ahead and start up

276
00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:16,000
bag number nine

277
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:17,839
hey bueno what you doing

278
00:16:21,670 --> 00:16:19,600
hey tony

279
00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:21,680
i'm filling up some water bags here

280
00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:23,279
we're gonna we make a lot of water over

281
00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:25,279
here on the space shuttle with our fuel

282
00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:26,399
cells

283
00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:28,000
and uh since we're docked up here to

284
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:29,360
station we can't dump it like we

285
00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:32,079
normally would and as luck would have it

286
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:34,240
they need water since they have solar

287
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:36,160
arrays they don't make water like this

288
00:16:40,949 --> 00:16:38,800
so it works out pretty well so we fill

289
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:40,959
up these water bags and we take them

290
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:42,880
over to the station

291
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:44,800
it's a pretty important task

292
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:46,160
and it seems like you're doing a great

293
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:47,759
job at it

294
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:55,670
oh this is live action

295
00:17:02,949 --> 00:16:56,720
is working

296
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:04,789
something this is um

297
00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:06,319
vegetable rice

298
00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:09,120
egg drop soup egg soup oh that sounds

299
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:09,919
good

300
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:12,000
thanks

301
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:34,870
what you doing tj preparing and we copy

302
00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:39,830
one of the experiments for return and we

303
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:41,840
have to get it ready cleaned up and all

304
00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:43,120
saved and all that kind of stuff before

305
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:44,559
we get it over to you

306
00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:45,520
so

307
00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:47,440
huntsville has got to

308
00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,679
a nice little plant-growing facility and

309
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:51,440
remove the air cartridges

310
00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:53,600
powering down reflecting out the water

311
00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:55,760
and we'll give it a little later cool

312
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:57,520
how are the plants growing well right

313
00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:58,799
now they're completely empty they have

314
00:18:01,510 --> 00:18:00,400
been growing very wonderfully so far

315
00:18:03,029 --> 00:18:01,520
it's been really a pretty cool

316
00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:03,039
experiment i've gone through about nine

317
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:04,559
or ten iterations and i think by about

318
00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:06,160
iteration number seven i got really good

319
00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:07,039
at

320
00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:09,039
all right planting them harvesting them

321
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:19,110
and the unbirth of the obss or the

322
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:21,360
orbiter boom sensor system

323
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:28,630
it will be handed off to the shuttle's

324
00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:34,310
and the that entire

325
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:37,039
compliment will then be maneuvered to a

326
00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:39,600
viewing position in preparation for

327
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:42,720
tomorrow's second spacewalk the primary

328
00:18:47,510 --> 00:18:45,440
task of which is to begin the

329
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:47,520
removal and replacement

330
00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:52,310
six batteries on the p6 truss element

331
00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:55,120
those batteries have been

332
00:18:59,669 --> 00:18:57,600
serving the space station since they

333
00:19:03,510 --> 00:18:59,679
were delivered and activated

334
00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:03,520
back in november december of 2000

335
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:06,480
the batteries have about a six-hour

336
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:08,320
projected lifespan of course they've

337
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:10,559
outlived their

338
00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:13,360
lifetime on board the station

339
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,200
they're still operating

340
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:18,000
but a new set of batteries is

341
00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:20,480
on its way with installation scheduled

342
00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:22,720
for the second and third spacewalks of

343
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:33,110
shuttle pilot tony antonelli now under

344
00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:34,400
control

345
00:19:39,029 --> 00:19:36,960
of the shuttle's robotic arm

346
00:19:41,669 --> 00:19:39,039
beginning the process of moving it into

347
00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:41,679
grapple the

348
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,000
orbiter boom sensor system the the

349
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:46,320
grapple fixture on that boom

350
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:48,240
it'll take it away from the station arm

351
00:20:00,630 --> 00:19:50,320
and move to a viewing location in

352
00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:03,430
high above the central pacific the

353
00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:05,600
station's robotic arm now has released a

354
00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:06,960
grapple pin

355
00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:08,799
at the midpoint of the orbiter boom

356
00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:10,320
sensor system

357
00:20:18,830 --> 00:20:13,360
that boom now under electrical power and

358
00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:23,190
arm the station robotic arm now being

359
00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:26,159
moved to a safe location away from the

360
00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:28,559
orbiter boom sensor system

361
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:30,960
the shuttle's arm now firmly grasping

362
00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:33,760
the obss

363
00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:36,159
as it will be repositioned a little bit

364
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:40,400
later to support activities ahead of

365
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,029
and thanks carrot that's a great view

366
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:06,549
i'm glad you enjoyed it

367
00:21:13,029 --> 00:21:08,870
and uh swanny pierce said uh that's only

368
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:14,710
you have no comment on that one we're

369
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:21,750
ken let me begin with you since you're

370
00:21:29,669 --> 00:21:26,710
this is your first time as commander

371
00:21:31,350 --> 00:21:29,679
here atlanta's last scheduled flight

372
00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:31,360
how does that leave you feeling knowing

373
00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:32,880
that you're coming back for the last

374
00:21:37,270 --> 00:21:35,120
time on atlantis

375
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:37,280
well it's a fantastic experience and uh

376
00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:40,320
as a crew what we're coining this flight

377
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:42,080
is the first last flight of atlantis

378
00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:43,280
because obviously there is some

379
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:44,559
potential for

380
00:21:48,789 --> 00:21:46,400
that great ship to fly again

381
00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:48,799
but uh she's served us very well so far

382
00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:50,960
we're having a ball up here and we

383
00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:53,120
couldn't be happier with her performance

384
00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:54,640
and we'd like to say thanks again to the

385
00:22:01,110 --> 00:21:57,039
entire team that put her together ready

386
00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:03,590
tracy you have been on the international

387
00:22:08,950 --> 00:22:06,080
space station since march i understand

388
00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:08,960
and we sometimes report on the

389
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,400
problems that you encounter throughout

390
00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:12,559
your day we had a generator go out just

391
00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:15,520
this week but overall it seems like you

392
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:17,520
guys managed to deal pretty well with

393
00:22:21,909 --> 00:22:20,000
whatever challenges come up in front of

394
00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:21,919
you how will that change once the

395
00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:23,919
american shuttles are not going back and

396
00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:33,590
well i think

397
00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:36,159
nasa our nasa and our partners we rise

398
00:22:40,070 --> 00:22:38,559
to the occasion and

399
00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:40,080
whatever challenge comes our way we've

400
00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:42,159
got lots of people lots of bright people

401
00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:44,480
that are committed to making this work

402
00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:45,840
and

403
00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:47,840
exactly how depends on the problem but

404
00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:49,919
we still have vehicles coming up and and

405
00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:52,320
down it's uh it just puts our creative

406
00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:54,400
minds to work exactly how we're going to

407
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:00,310
well for instance the main mission for

408
00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:02,559
this atlanta shuttle was bringing up a

409
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:04,240
very large component for the

410
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:06,480
international space station do you not

411
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:08,400
foresee any sort of instance where

412
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:09,919
you're going to need a component that's

413
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:12,400
so big that it exceeds what the russians

414
00:23:21,190 --> 00:23:20,310
well with the addition of mrm1

415
00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:21,200
that

416
00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:23,840
completes the station assembly uh as far

417
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:25,760
as the large components go and so

418
00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:28,000
there's nothing planned right now

419
00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:30,400
um but

420
00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:32,559
there's there's

421
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:36,080
many spares on board there's not much

422
00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:38,720
large-scale eye objects that fit in the

423
00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:40,320
payload bay that

424
00:23:43,029 --> 00:23:41,120
have

425
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:43,039
been scheduled to come up so

426
00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:44,400
i think that

427
00:23:51,909 --> 00:23:50,390
so let me bring in mission specialist

428
00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:51,919
pier seller

429
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:53,760
piers i want to ask you you have a phd

430
00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:55,679
in ecology and we've been seeing some

431
00:24:00,789 --> 00:23:58,000
incredible images from space of that

432
00:24:02,230 --> 00:24:00,799
gulf oil slick can you just give me your

433
00:24:03,990 --> 00:24:02,240
perspective

434
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:04,000
having a background in ecology what it's

435
00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:05,520
like for you to see

436
00:24:11,269 --> 00:24:09,360
that kind of ecological disaster

437
00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:11,279
well i got to report to my boss that i

438
00:24:15,909 --> 00:24:13,200
didn't see uh this oil slick because i

439
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:15,919
was so busy working

440
00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:18,000
i'm sorry to miss it but we have uh seen

441
00:24:21,430 --> 00:24:19,440
it um

442
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:21,440
you know on tv before we came before we

443
00:24:24,870 --> 00:24:22,880
uh came up here

444
00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:24,880
uh you know these these things aren't

445
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:25,679
good

446
00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:27,600
um when you fly around the planet a few

447
00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:30,240
times you get to see the the thumbprint

448
00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:32,400
of man all over the place

449
00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:34,960
most of it good you know cultivation

450
00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:36,000
cities

451
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:37,440
most of them clean

452
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:39,279
and sometimes bad you know a lot of

453
00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:42,240
biomass burning and uh pollution

454
00:24:44,789 --> 00:24:43,120
but

455
00:24:46,149 --> 00:24:44,799
we're optimistic i think that people

456
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:46,159
will eventually learn to look after the

457
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:51,830
uh and by the way what is that peers on

458
00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:53,760
your leg is that a book that you're

459
00:25:04,870 --> 00:25:02,549
it's my brain

460
00:25:07,029 --> 00:25:04,880
this is a notebook of every uh thing my

461
00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:07,039
instructors tried to teach me before i

462
00:25:11,190 --> 00:25:08,960
left and i couldn't remember it all so

463
00:25:12,630 --> 00:25:11,200
it's all written down there and some of

464
00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:12,640
it i can't read

465
00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:13,679
but um

466
00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:15,440
this actually gets me through the days

467
00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:16,880
and we all have one i'm the only one

468
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:22,870
i'm sure it takes real talent to be able

469
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:25,200
to find what you need in a heartbeat all

470
00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,600
right last question here to garrett the

471
00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:29,520
space walker out there

472
00:25:33,029 --> 00:25:31,200
have you managed to

473
00:25:34,870 --> 00:25:33,039
go out and have a sense of

474
00:25:36,789 --> 00:25:34,880
accomplishment i mean this is something

475
00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:36,799
i'm sure when you have

476
00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:38,799
grandchildren and great-grandchildren

477
00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,720
this is going to be the story that

478
00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:43,200
grandpa garrett was out walking in space

479
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:45,120
it must leave you with such a feeling of

480
00:25:55,669 --> 00:25:52,310
there is really nothing like it i have

481
00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:55,679
to be honest with you spacewalking is

482
00:26:00,310 --> 00:25:57,840
in my experience the most

483
00:26:02,149 --> 00:26:00,320
outlandish thing i've ever gotten to do

484
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:02,159
and uh i'm very grateful for the

485
00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:04,720
opportunity uh actually when i first

486
00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,240
became an astronaut they looked at how

487
00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:08,400
short i am i'm five foot four

488
00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:10,720
and they they when i talked about doing

489
00:26:15,269 --> 00:26:13,039
spacewalks they laughed at me and uh

490
00:26:18,149 --> 00:26:15,279
here i am today uh after having gone out

491
00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:18,159
there yesterday and steve and i uh

492
00:26:22,470 --> 00:26:20,080
really um worked hard out there

493
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:22,480
yesterday especially steve uh he had the

494
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:24,559
lions share of the of the burden out

495
00:26:28,070 --> 00:26:25,520
there and

496
00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:28,080
we managed to accomplish pretty much

497
00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:30,000
everything and then some that we set out

498
00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:30,880
to do

499
00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:33,039
and we had some difficult moments we had

500
00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:35,279
a connector that was stubborn and one of

501
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:36,960
the things i'll always remember is when

502
00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:38,400
we finally solved that problem and got

503
00:26:42,870 --> 00:26:40,960
that connector hooked up uh it was a

504
00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:42,880
sense of elation that

505
00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:44,960
was difficult to describe

506
00:26:47,830 --> 00:26:46,000
but

507
00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:47,840
i was glad to

508
00:26:52,870 --> 00:26:49,600
shake steve's hand up there and share

509
00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:52,880
the moment it was it was a good feeling

510
00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:55,360
ken and pierce let me start with you

511
00:27:00,950 --> 00:26:58,880
what's it like up there right now

512
00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:00,960
uh wolf it's absolutely fantastic the

513
00:27:06,070 --> 00:27:03,360
place is much bigger than last time i

514
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:06,080
was here which is only two years ago

515
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:07,840
i'm not sure why it feels so much bigger

516
00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:12,710
it's the node and the cupola alone the

517
00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:14,640
cupola is this large glass dome we have

518
00:27:18,630 --> 00:27:16,720
that looks down on the earth and being

519
00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:18,640
inside of there and seeing the entire

520
00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:21,120
horizon of the earth all at once just

521
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:22,799
makes this entire place feel bigger and

522
00:27:28,630 --> 00:27:24,720
it's absolutely fantastic we're having a

523
00:27:32,389 --> 00:27:30,149
if i was here four years ago and this

524
00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:32,399
place was

525
00:27:36,149 --> 00:27:34,399
placed about one-third the size i got to

526
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:36,159
tell you now you can you can lose people

527
00:27:39,350 --> 00:27:37,840
in this place now it's really huge so if

528
00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:39,360
you came on up here people probably

529
00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:45,830
let's talk a little bit about how it

530
00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:48,799
feels uh and i'll have tracy weigh in to

531
00:27:59,830 --> 00:27:57,269
well actually well if i came up on a

532
00:28:01,909 --> 00:27:59,840
soyuz and i've been living on the space

533
00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:01,919
station for about five weeks before

534
00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:04,080
these guys got here

535
00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:04,960
but

536
00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:06,799
i can tell you from the perspective of

537
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:09,360
living here and seeing atlantis and

538
00:28:14,549 --> 00:28:12,000
being inside of atlantis as a

539
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:14,559
station crew member it um

540
00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:18,240
it's bittersweet and it's also

541
00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:20,320
something that is

542
00:28:24,549 --> 00:28:22,320
i never anticipated being able to see

543
00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:24,559
each one of the shuttles before

544
00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:27,360
their retirement on board my tenure here

545
00:28:37,110 --> 00:28:35,830
atlantis shuttle mission uh as we go

546
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:37,120
forward

547
00:28:42,470 --> 00:28:39,679
uh i i i also want to bring in uh

548
00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:42,480
garrett reisman uh you you actually do

549
00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:45,120
the space walks how scared are you when

550
00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:46,880
you get out out of that shuttle out of

551
00:28:52,870 --> 00:28:48,880
that space station and actually go

552
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,990
i'm a terrified wolf

553
00:29:02,310 --> 00:29:00,870
um actually the thing is uh i'm one of

554
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:02,320
three space walkers the other two

555
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:03,919
fellows are preparing to go outside

556
00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:06,000
tomorrow so they can't be with us now

557
00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:07,200
but uh

558
00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:09,760
it is uh something that we train really

559
00:29:15,029 --> 00:29:12,080
hard for and the way i describe it is a

560
00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:15,039
strange combination of the

561
00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:16,240
familiar

562
00:29:19,750 --> 00:29:17,840
and the outlandish and what i mean by

563
00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:19,760
that is we train so much in this big

564
00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:21,200
pool in houston

565
00:29:23,669 --> 00:29:22,000
that

566
00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:23,679
when we're at our work site and we have

567
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:25,279
our tools and we're looking at the bolts

568
00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:26,399
we're supposed to turn

569
00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:28,320
it feels just like being in that pool

570
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:29,760
and we feel very comfortable very

571
00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:31,600
familiar but then you look over your

572
00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:33,440
shoulder and the whole world is flying

573
00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:35,600
by and you can see the entire east coast

574
00:29:39,669 --> 00:29:37,840
of the united states in a single glance

575
00:29:42,070 --> 00:29:39,679
and that is something you can't prepare

576
00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:42,080
for in a pool and that is outlandish and

577
00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:48,070
i want to bring the two russian

578
00:29:53,590 --> 00:29:50,960
cosmonauts into this conversation oleg

579
00:29:56,149 --> 00:29:53,600
first to you when you look out

580
00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:56,159
are you able to see this oil spill

581
00:30:00,789 --> 00:29:58,480
that's engulfing some of the gulf of

582
00:30:02,470 --> 00:30:00,799
mexico right now we spent a lot of time

583
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:02,480
reporting on that

584
00:30:07,830 --> 00:30:04,480
and are you also able to see any of that

585
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:07,840
volcanic ash from the volcano in iceland

586
00:30:20,230 --> 00:30:16,389
first of all about the

587
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:20,240
oil i'm just 30 minutes ago we passed

588
00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:23,760
over there mexican golf and we

589
00:30:28,230 --> 00:30:26,880
took a lot of pictures of this oil spot

590
00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:28,240
on there and

591
00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:30,480
believe me it looks it's very

592
00:30:36,310 --> 00:30:33,840
scared it's uh that's not good and

593
00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:36,320
that's really

594
00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:37,679
feel

595
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:41,200
not good about that and so that's

596
00:30:46,310 --> 00:30:44,240
about the ash uh yes we can see ash

597
00:30:48,549 --> 00:30:46,320
about the europe it's especially in the

598
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:48,559
evening hours when there's a low angle

599
00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:51,360
of sun and we see the atmosphere is not

600
00:30:54,870 --> 00:30:54,080
clear as usual in this time of year so

601
00:30:58,310 --> 00:30:54,880
but

602
00:30:59,990 --> 00:30:58,320
we can we cannot see the volcano itself

603
00:31:01,029 --> 00:31:00,000
myself but

604
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:01,039
many

605
00:31:06,870 --> 00:31:04,240
ecological problems we can observe and

606
00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:06,880
monitor from this space station uh for

607
00:31:12,549 --> 00:31:10,480
example fires some flooding and

608
00:31:14,310 --> 00:31:12,559
some poisoning of

609
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:14,320
nature so

610
00:31:19,110 --> 00:31:16,960
it's it's very useful from this

611
00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:19,120
perspective

612
00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:20,880

we don't get nasa tv up here so i didn't

this in flight day highlights this is uh

627
00:32:40,830 --> 00:32:39,360
definitely one of the highlights this is

628
00:32:44,630 --> 00:32:40,840
of course the

629
00:32:47,070 --> 00:32:44,640
cupola and

630
00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:47,080
we are of course the camera's gonna get

631
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,310
flying over

632
00:33:05,590 --> 00:33:00,870
let's look back here so i can show you

633
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,789
indeed back on

634
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:27,590
and

635
00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:31,440
earlier

636
00:33:34,389 --> 00:33:32,640
filming

637
00:33:36,870 --> 00:33:34,399
or we tried to film them

638
00:33:38,230 --> 00:33:36,880
uh with mrm1 but

639
00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:38,240
it's hard to get in here with the video

640
00:33:43,029 --> 00:33:40,320
camera with them and they're flying

641
00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:43,039
but uh

642
00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:52,389
that's mostly overexposed in the camera

643
00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:53,120
but
