shuttle discovery

9
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,000
her 30-year mission to seek out new

10
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:44,559
science to build new outposts to bring

11
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:47,360
nations together on the final frontier

12
00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:50,079

[Music]

14
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:26,960
good morning discovery

15
00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:29,520
and good morning houston and uh

16
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:30,479
and uh

17
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:31,920
that was the uh

18
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,040
the second

19
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,520
second most popular selection from the

20
00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:36,720
from the uh

21
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:38,799
the song contest for the space shuttle

22
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:41,200
program and i'd like to thank uh

23
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,040
specifically william shannon for taking

24
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,040
the time to record that special

25
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:47,520
introduction for us

26
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:51,680
and we agree it was really special

27
00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:52,960
this is a look at the docking connection

28
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:55,119
between discovery and the international

29
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:57,200
space station specifically pressurized

30
00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:59,280
emitting adapter number two

31
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:01,280
this is on the end of the harmony node

32
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:11,029
now one hour seven minutes away from

33
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:12,400
undocking

34
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,760
as we mentioned the station's in the

35
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,280
process of spinning around and putting

36
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,520
discovery out front

37
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:19,200
it typically flies with a shuttle in the

38
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:20,400
back of

39
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:22,239
the combined stack as it's called this

40
00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:23,440
is to protect

41
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:25,840
uh discovery from any sort of uh hits in

42
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,640
terms of micro meteoroids

43
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:30,560
but for undocking discover will lead the

44
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,150
just under the desk free

45
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:40,640
there's a primary rjt driver eight to

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:56,229
now just two minutes away

47
00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:57,990
now just 30 seconds away we will have an

48
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:00,400
undocking today on time at 6am central

49
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:04,470
all the systems have been powered up

50
00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:06,400
everything on track the crew is uh in

51
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:13,110
station physical separation

52
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,800
separation confirmed discovery has

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:17,280
undocked at 6 am central time

54
00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:18,410
station

55
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:23,670
discovery says farewell to the

56
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:25,040
international space station for the

57
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:27,040
final time this docked mission has now

58
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:31,120
ended discovery flies by itself now

59
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,070
this is the view they saw from the

60
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,560
orbiter docking system ring looking

61
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:46,480
straight at pressurized mating adapter

62
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,840
number two

63
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,280
as discovery backed away from the

64
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,200
international space station

65
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:53,200
after this morning's 6am central time

66
00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,470
discovery edged out to a distance of 400

67
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:02,239
feet and then pilot eric bo took over

68
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:04,400
control and began a fly around of the

69
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:05,840
international space station we should

70
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,840
get some video uh from the crew of that

71
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:11,200
and of course we'll bring it to you live

72
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,909
a spectacular view there of the russian

73
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:19,359
segment of the international space

74
00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:22,320

00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:27,600
as well

78
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:28,960
in the automated transfer vehicle back

79
00:04:33,070 --> 00:04:31,280
there on zvezda

80
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:33,080
space shuttle discovery there

81
00:05:32,870 --> 00:04:35,840
769 feet away from

82
00:06:29,749 --> 00:05:34,790
discovery beginning to pass underneath

83
00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:31,909
discovery flying about 628 feet away

84
00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:41,270
still uh

85
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:43,039
back behind and below the russian

86
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:44,639
segment of the international space

87
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:55,909
through 6.4 you can depress

88
00:06:59,909 --> 00:06:57,670
okay

89
00:07:00,960 --> 00:06:59,919
go for step

90
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:00,970
6 one

91
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,270
discovery undocked from the

92
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:15,759
international space station at 6 a.m

93
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:18,080
central time today

94
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:20,560
with pilot eric beau at the controls

95
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:22,560
moved out in front of the station and

96
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:26,479
then has started a slow fly around

97
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:29,280
at this part of the video we can see the

98
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:31,360
discovery is moving up above the

99
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:51,749
discovering the station approaching the

100
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:55,199
northwestern edge of africa

101
00:07:58,629 --> 00:07:57,120
they'll be running parallel to the coast

102
00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:58,639
looking down on the western sahara in

103
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:01,039
morocco

104
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:02,240
right about the time the discovery

105
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:51,030
shuttle passing over cape verde now just

106
00:09:23,350 --> 00:08:53,200
heading toward the northwestern edge of

107
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,030
once again discovery's payload bay

108
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:27,600
fairly empty at the end of this docked

109
00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,959
phase of sts-133 it took up

110
00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:32,720
several tons of supplies and equipment

111
00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:34,399
for the crew onboard the space station

112
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,240

express logistics carrier number four

115
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:45,750
discovery now has done its job for the

116
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:47,600
international space station finishing up

117
00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:48,640
this

118
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,959
victory lap around the orbiting complex

119
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:52,080
the crew

120
00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,519
getting their last looks at the space

121
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:55,680
station complex and the expedition 26

122
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:56,480
crew

123
00:10:45,590 --> 00:09:59,200
getting their final looks at discovery

124
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:47,350
the sands of the sahara desert passing

125
00:10:51,760 --> 00:11:07,509
it's altitude 216 miles

126
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,670
two spacecraft approaching morocco now

127
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,120
as they continue heading toward the

128
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,079
northeast

129
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:16,240
about 650 feet in between discovery in

130
00:12:35,670 --> 00:11:31,750
station houston space ground 2 for

131
00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:37,190
discovery has now completed his fly

132
00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:38,720
around we're standing by for the first

133
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:41,120
of these separation burns

134
00:13:31,030 --> 00:12:43,839
this will begin the process of discovery

135
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:34,069
discovery setup complete uh tig was 105

136
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:38,160
one five colon one five colon five seven

137
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,790
yes steve as uh you guys are

138
00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:47,120

and i'm really proud of what we

142
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,320
accomplished together as a team

143
00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:56,320
here on the space station

144
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,839
but uh also including the larger team

145
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:01,680
uh in houston and all the control

146
00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:04,160
centers around the world this uh

147
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:05,760
space program and doing something as

148
00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:08,320
complicated as this really takes a uh

149
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:10,320
team effort and that's uh i think what

150
00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:13,120
we've proven here this last week

151
00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:15,519
uh i'd like to wish you guys a safe rest

152
00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:18,480
air flight and a safe landing and i will

153
00:16:50,550 --> 00:14:20,480
see you all back in houston here in

and mission specialist alvin drew are at

156
00:17:01,990 --> 00:16:58,480
the controls of the robotic arm which is

157
00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:02,000
holding the orbiter boom sensor system

158
00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:11,510
this morning uh mission specialist steve

159
00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:14,319
bowen and nicole stott completed

160
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:15,439
the

161
00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:18,000
unpacking of spacewalking gear and

162
00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:21,919
getting that stuff stowed and then uh

163
00:17:41,990 --> 00:17:28,950
that dark colored area on the left hand

164
00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:44,230
the combined crews completed all of the

165
00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:48,559
objectives of that doc time frame

166
00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:50,559
delivering the permanent multi-purpose

167
00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:53,360
module and getting it

168
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,720
more unpacked and outfitted than had or

169
00:18:01,510 --> 00:17:58,799
been in the original plan

170
00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:01,520
they also installed a new external

171
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:04,080
stowage platform

172
00:18:09,430 --> 00:18:06,160
known as the express logistics carrier

173
00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:12,630
and they executed two spacewalks

174
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:15,039
with steve bowen and al drew working

175
00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:16,960
outside the station their crewmates

176
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:19,840
supporting them from inside

177
00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:22,320
as they cleaned up a lot of different uh

178
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:23,760
tasks over

179
00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:25,440
many different areas of the space

180
00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:28,160
station

181
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:30,480
as the shuttle is maneuvering

182
00:18:41,909 --> 00:18:38,070
we're getting this view from the vantage

183
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:41,919
point of 215 miles above the central

184
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:44,080
pacific ocean

185
00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:46,480
discovery is uh just crossed the equator

186
00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:53,430
shuttle discoveries now flying 220 miles

187
00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:56,400
above the eastern atlantic ocean

188
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:00,400
clearly an orbitable orbital nighttime

189
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:02,720
heading for landfall

190
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:06,080
on the northwestern coast of africa

191
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:08,400
this camera is in the aft of the payload

192
00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:11,280
