1 00:00:05,770 --> 00:00:03,189 good morning and welcome to today's 2 00:00:09,579 --> 00:00:05,780 mission status briefing with us this 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:09,589 morning Gary Hall Locker the sts-134 4 00:00:15,159 --> 00:00:11,690 lead flight director just coming off his 5 00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:15,169 orbit one shift and Heather Hinkle the 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:18,710 principal investigator of storm anger 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:21,290 would you begin believe thank you well 8 00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:23,770 it's really great to be back here folks 9 00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:26,750 as you know the Mission Continues to go 10 00:00:32,589 --> 00:00:28,990 very very well endeavours performing 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:32,599 nearly flawlessly and the crew are doing 12 00:00:37,569 --> 00:00:35,810 incredibly well as as well so we're the 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:37,579 crews about two hours away from hatch 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:41,210 closure as we sit here talking today the 15 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:42,770 goal of today obviously was to finish up 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:44,510 all the internal work between the two 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:46,850 vehicles and I think Derrick talked to 18 00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:48,970 quite a bit yesterday about the 19 00:00:55,780 --> 00:00:51,920 maintenance on the station sidra the 20 00:00:57,220 --> 00:00:55,790 carbon dioxide removal system so the 21 00:00:59,250 --> 00:00:57,230 crew spent a good chunk of the day 22 00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:59,260 yesterday working on on that they're 23 00:01:02,770 --> 00:01:01,520 taking out one of the beds that we're 24 00:01:04,689 --> 00:01:02,780 going to bring home on the on the 25 00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:04,699 shuttle and and then replace it with a 26 00:01:09,789 --> 00:01:06,830 new one and get it back installed and up 27 00:01:11,289 --> 00:01:09,799 and running so things took a little bit 28 00:01:12,969 --> 00:01:11,299 longer than planned yesterday so we 29 00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:12,979 finished that task up today and 30 00:01:17,230 --> 00:01:15,560 everything is good there we also 31 00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:17,240 finishing up all the cargo transfer 32 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:19,790 between both vehicles obviously all the 33 00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:21,530 cargo we hauled up to give the station 34 00:01:25,539 --> 00:01:23,180 we need to get on their side of the 35 00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:25,549 hatch and then all the items that they 36 00:01:29,260 --> 00:01:27,470 may need us to bring home need to get 37 00:01:31,570 --> 00:01:29,270 back on the shuttle before they close 38 00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:31,580 the hatches here shortly we also 39 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:33,680 completed the last of the oxygen 40 00:01:39,940 --> 00:01:35,570 transfer from the shuttle to the station 41 00:01:42,999 --> 00:01:39,950 today and we also managed to reboot the 42 00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:43,009 the stack doing a shuttle reboost using 43 00:01:48,910 --> 00:01:47,150 shuttle propellant we got them about 1.8 44 00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:48,920 foot per second which is just over 45 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:52,100 another mile an hour and that increased 46 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,610 their altitude by just under about point 47 00:01:59,469 --> 00:01:57,920 six nautical miles so leave them a 48 00:02:02,890 --> 00:01:59,479 little bit higher than when we found 49 00:02:04,749 --> 00:02:02,900 them a week and a half ago and then the 50 00:02:06,999 --> 00:02:04,759 crews also wrapped up some of the EBA 51 00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:07,009 activities in the station airlock and it 52 00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:09,110 cleaned up and partially prepared for 53 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:11,510 the spacewalk on the following mission 54 00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:13,610 st s 55 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:17,340 135 here in a month or so the remainder 56 00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:18,720 of the day of course had an attached 57 00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:21,060 closure the the crews going to go and 58 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:22,710 bring the two space suits from the 59 00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:24,210 airlock on the station back to the 60 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,480 shuttle those are the two that we used 61 00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:29,280 during several of the spacewalks drew 62 00:02:32,810 --> 00:02:31,560 wore one of them and Mike Fink wore the 63 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:32,820 other so we'll get those back to the 64 00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:34,890 orbiter in case we need them between 65 00:02:41,210 --> 00:02:38,100 hatch closure and landing and will also 66 00:02:42,650 --> 00:02:41,220 be packing double cold bags we do this 67 00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:42,660 pretty much every station flight right 68 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:45,780 port hatch closure we get numerous 69 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:47,490 science samples get them in these cold 70 00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:49,530 bags and get them across to the shuttle 71 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:52,680 and we bring them home for for analysis 72 00:02:57,170 --> 00:02:55,680 here on the ground so once we get the 73 00:02:58,580 --> 00:02:57,180 hatches closed the crew is going to go 74 00:03:00,770 --> 00:02:58,590 ahead and shift gears a little bit focus 75 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:00,780 in on the undock tomorrow to get the 76 00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:02,730 rendezvous tools check out complete as 77 00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:04,110 well as get the centerline camera 78 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:06,540 installed and that will put them in good 79 00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:09,930 shape for the undocking and fly around 80 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:12,750 and storm activities for tomorrow so 81 00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:14,970 what I'd like to do is go ahead and walk 82 00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:17,160 you through a very short video about the 83 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:19,020 undock and fly around and storm 84 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:22,290 trajectory if we can get that rolling so 85 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:24,810 the pilot Greg Johnson will be flying 86 00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:26,850 the orbiter back to about 400 feet and 87 00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:28,740 then initiate the fly around we do the 88 00:03:33,970 --> 00:03:31,590 standard full lap fly around and then 89 00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:33,980 we'll do the sep one burn and that 90 00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:36,300 that'll set us up on our way to the 91 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:37,680 storm trajectory we're going to be 92 00:03:42,460 --> 00:03:39,690 flying above and behind the space 93 00:03:45,850 --> 00:03:42,470 station will get about just inside 94 00:03:48,260 --> 00:03:45,860 30,000 feet behind the base station and 95 00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:48,270 the storm sensors will be taking data 96 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:50,790 all the way out to about 20,000 feet 97 00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:54,510 where they'll drop lock and then they'll 98 00:03:58,670 --> 00:03:56,910 be setting up for the requisition here 99 00:04:00,860 --> 00:03:58,680 in just a minute so we'll do another 100 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:00,870 burn that will bring us down below Space 101 00:04:06,590 --> 00:04:05,130 Station and about 4,000 feet below will 102 00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:06,600 do one more burn that will put us on the 103 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:10,560 the storm required trajectory and once 104 00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:12,330 we get that burn can play will will be 105 00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:13,980 coming into acquisition range of the 106 00:04:17,870 --> 00:04:16,350 storm sensors they'll start taking data 107 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:17,880 all the way in will do a burn that will 108 00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:19,770 bring us up towards station will stall 109 00:04:25,070 --> 00:04:21,390 out around a thousand feet below it and 110 00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:25,080 then slowly drift down and away and do a 111 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,400 final step burn 112 00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:28,560 keep tracking the station all the way 113 00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:30,030 out till the sensors drop lock once 114 00:04:35,659 --> 00:04:33,150 again so that's that's what we've got in 115 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:35,669 store for tomorrow I think at this point 116 00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:37,410 I'll hand it over to Heather to give you 117 00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:40,520 a lot more details on the storm activity 118 00:04:46,909 --> 00:04:45,030 thanks Gary so the storm team we're 119 00:04:51,890 --> 00:04:46,919 really excited to get to our primary 120 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:51,900 mission activities we are a sensor test 121 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:55,650 that was created under the orion project 122 00:05:01,370 --> 00:04:57,930 which Orion has now become a part of 123 00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:01,380 NASA's MPCV program so what what the 124 00:05:06,409 --> 00:05:03,750 sensors are if the if the camera could 125 00:05:10,129 --> 00:05:06,419 zoom over here for a moment we're flying 126 00:05:12,379 --> 00:05:10,139 a laser sensor and also a 127 00:05:17,779 --> 00:05:12,389 high-definition camera so the laser 128 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:17,789 sensor has a shoots a laser at 30 times 129 00:05:23,890 --> 00:05:20,970 per second a flashlight are and it gets 130 00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:23,900 a receipt off of any bright surfaces and 131 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:25,860 reflectors that are up on the space 132 00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:28,410 station that allows us to do range and 133 00:05:34,129 --> 00:05:30,630 bearing calculations to each of those 134 00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:34,139 reflectors or to station surfaces if you 135 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:36,990 don't have any cooperative reflectors on 136 00:05:41,899 --> 00:05:39,930 board the camera can be used we're 137 00:05:44,270 --> 00:05:41,909 assessing it as used for a possible back 138 00:05:47,089 --> 00:05:44,280 up as a star tracker for centering off 139 00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:47,099 the station from mid-range distances as 140 00:05:52,939 --> 00:05:49,409 a possible backup star tracker looking 141 00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:52,949 at stars and then for close-in piloting 142 00:05:58,700 --> 00:05:56,280 keys for the orion pilots and astronauts 143 00:06:01,159 --> 00:05:58,710 so those are the sensors that are out in 144 00:06:06,189 --> 00:06:01,169 the payload bay and what they do is that 145 00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:06,199 once they get on the docking axis the 146 00:06:11,689 --> 00:06:09,479 previous mission these five reflective 147 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:11,699 elements were put on board that reflect 148 00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:15,120 very brightly in the vns wavelength but 149 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:17,760 are essentially blind to the shuttle 150 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:19,650 laser sensor so that there's no 151 00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:22,650 interference and with visibility to 152 00:06:27,409 --> 00:06:25,080 these reflective elements and I'll show 153 00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:27,419 some data here in a few minutes the 154 00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:29,280 storm sensors will allow you to be able 155 00:06:37,490 --> 00:06:32,449 to calculate six degree-of-freedom 156 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:37,500 alignment and ranging and velocity to 157 00:06:42,689 --> 00:06:40,090 your vehicle which can be used for 158 00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:42,699 situational awareness or you could close 159 00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:44,980 the loop around your flight control 160 00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:52,300 system and do automatic docking so the 161 00:06:56,580 --> 00:06:54,160 storm sensors were operated during the 162 00:07:00,060 --> 00:06:56,590 rendezvous as Gary mentioned from about 163 00:07:03,060 --> 00:07:00,070 20,000 feet the laser locked on to the 164 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:03,070 space station and we were hoping for it 165 00:07:08,159 --> 00:07:04,690 for that and we got a little bit better 166 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:08,169 than what we were hoping for out of the 167 00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:10,210 sensors that was really exciting so 168 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:12,790 we're really looking forward to the rear 169 00:07:17,190 --> 00:07:14,770 on oovoo trajectory when we're on an 170 00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:17,200 Orion type approach like Gary showed to 171 00:07:21,450 --> 00:07:19,180 prove again that we can exceed our 172 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:21,460 expectations for that sensor so if you 173 00:07:27,390 --> 00:07:25,210 could queue up slide one this is sort of 174 00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:27,400 a picture of the docking camera on the 175 00:07:32,190 --> 00:07:29,470 left and then the range and intensity 176 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:32,200 from the vns image on the right so what 177 00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:35,250 you can see is those three circles 178 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:38,710 depict where three reflective surfaces 179 00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:41,050 are there the whole space station is 180 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:43,389 peppered with reflectors different 181 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:45,370 vehicles that put them up there the 182 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:48,250 Europeans use reflectors the shuttle TCS 183 00:07:53,969 --> 00:07:51,850 does as well as a Japanese vehicle when 184 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:53,979 they approach so you can see that it was 185 00:07:58,529 --> 00:07:55,930 able to pick up those reflectors and 186 00:08:00,029 --> 00:07:58,539 then if you provide centroid into those 187 00:08:02,430 --> 00:08:00,039 three you now have very accurate 188 00:08:03,810 --> 00:08:02,440 information about where you are compared 189 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:03,820 to the vehicle go to the next one please 190 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:06,160 discuss a little bit further in six 191 00:08:09,779 --> 00:08:07,690 hundred and salt and feet you can see 192 00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:09,789 now there's a little bit more spread and 193 00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:14,830 the reflectors next slide this is 194 00:08:20,610 --> 00:08:17,710 getting real even closer and you can see 195 00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:20,620 it's very locked on to those three you 196 00:08:27,659 --> 00:08:23,470 can pick them out easily as we get a 197 00:08:29,310 --> 00:08:27,669 little closer next 164 feet can see the 198 00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:29,320 camera is picking up a lot more detail 199 00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:31,900 and now in your range and intensity 200 00:08:38,130 --> 00:08:33,760 you'll be starting to see a lot more 201 00:08:40,409 --> 00:08:38,140 detail next getting a little bit closer 202 00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:40,419 I think the last one if you could go to 203 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:43,150 that is is a pretty neat one where you 204 00:08:48,569 --> 00:08:45,370 could really see how the vns paints you 205 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:48,579 a three-dimensional picture of what 206 00:08:52,290 --> 00:08:50,770 you're coming in by the intensity and 207 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:52,300 the range maps you can see there on the 208 00:08:58,730 --> 00:08:53,970 right so the five 209 00:09:01,309 --> 00:08:58,740 white I guess the white circles that you 210 00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:01,319 see in the top right slide those are 211 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:02,910 these five reflective elements I just 212 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:05,040 showed you on the docking target and the 213 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:06,930 real bright kind of bigger one that's a 214 00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:08,610 little bit above those that's the 215 00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:11,310 shuttles TCS reflector so you can see 216 00:09:15,740 --> 00:09:13,500 that real brightly as well and then the 217 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:15,750 lower one in the range you can see how 218 00:09:20,449 --> 00:09:17,970 powerful the information can be from 219 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:20,459 this sensor and how you you could use 220 00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:22,050 this for a broader applications other 221 00:09:26,869 --> 00:09:24,000 than just rendezvous and docking you 222 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:26,879 could use this for imaging for hazard 223 00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:30,569 avoidance for performing landing for use 224 00:09:36,050 --> 00:09:34,560 for vehicle rendezvous and docking of 225 00:09:38,809 --> 00:09:36,060 course as well as things like 226 00:09:43,699 --> 00:09:38,819 deforestation there's just a very broad 227 00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:43,709 application of this technology so that 228 00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:46,860 was my last data slide so we're really 229 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:49,230 excited for the rear on oovoo whether 230 00:09:57,290 --> 00:09:52,050 its sensors are ready to go and expect 231 00:09:59,869 --> 00:09:57,300 rugged vns data for the rendezvous Betty 232 00:10:01,910 --> 00:09:59,879 another great we'll start with questions 233 00:10:03,619 --> 00:10:01,920 here in Houston please remember to 234 00:10:05,389 --> 00:10:03,629 identify yourself by a name and 235 00:10:09,470 --> 00:10:05,399 organization and please step to the mic 236 00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:09,480 to ask your questions yes Phillips lost 237 00:10:16,129 --> 00:10:11,910 with NASA Space Flight calm for Gary on 238 00:10:19,220 --> 00:10:16,139 the o2 transfer was that was at airlock 239 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:19,230 tanks and at Mission atmosphere or one 240 00:10:24,410 --> 00:10:22,050 or the other yeah the what we wrapped up 241 00:10:27,170 --> 00:10:24,420 today was actually the internal 242 00:10:29,079 --> 00:10:27,180 atmosphere transfer we we we took care 243 00:10:32,269 --> 00:10:29,089 of the topped off that station tanks 244 00:10:33,949 --> 00:10:32,279 yesterday and if you got the numbers 245 00:10:36,319 --> 00:10:33,959 here if you want them we we transferred 246 00:10:40,579 --> 00:10:36,329 about 17 pounds into the station tanks 247 00:10:42,499 --> 00:10:40,589 and they're all topped off and so for 248 00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:42,509 the internal atmospheric transfer we 249 00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:46,470 provided about 278 pounds of oxygen from 250 00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:49,620 the shuttle tanks to the station so so 251 00:10:54,379 --> 00:10:50,910 that's what we got accomplished here in 252 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,389 the last week and a half thanks and I'm 253 00:10:59,629 --> 00:10:56,399 not sure if this is for for you or for 254 00:11:01,639 --> 00:10:59,639 Heather in the undocking timeline and 255 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:01,649 the rear onder view timeline that the 256 00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:03,689 henna we got here it talks about the 257 00:11:06,569 --> 00:11:06,089 station going to the dto attitude after 258 00:11:08,699 --> 00:11:06,579 an 259 00:11:12,299 --> 00:11:08,709 is that just a minor difference between 260 00:11:13,979 --> 00:11:12,309 the the undocking attitude the normal 261 00:11:15,689 --> 00:11:13,989 and docking attitude thanks yeah it's 262 00:11:20,189 --> 00:11:15,699 actually just a couple degrees pitched 263 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:20,199 down and that allows the storm sensors 264 00:11:25,470 --> 00:11:23,410 to acquire the the key reflective 265 00:11:26,939 --> 00:11:25,480 targets on their really the Russian side 266 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:26,949 of the vehicles were coming from behind 267 00:11:32,669 --> 00:11:29,529 and below so they get their initial 268 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:32,679 acquisition accomplished in Lafayette 269 00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:35,290 any more details a minute early we 270 00:11:40,259 --> 00:11:38,049 weren't really needing that kind of a 271 00:11:41,789 --> 00:11:40,269 special attitude hold until that the 272 00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:41,799 flight slipped into the time frame where 273 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:44,230 the ATV was docked to the aft end and it 274 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:46,809 blocked off most of the reflectors that 275 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:49,360 were back there and of course not 276 00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:51,730 knowing we had improved the sensor in 277 00:11:54,929 --> 00:11:53,230 orbit yet we want to give ourselves the 278 00:11:58,949 --> 00:11:54,939 best chance of having those reflectors 279 00:12:01,049 --> 00:11:58,959 pointing toward the shuttle as it came 280 00:12:05,129 --> 00:12:01,059 in so we'd have the best look angles to 281 00:12:08,939 --> 00:12:05,139 those reflectors and so station agreed 282 00:12:11,549 --> 00:12:08,949 to hold that attitude for us to increase 283 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:11,559 our chances of getting that and we have 284 00:12:16,229 --> 00:12:12,970 no doubts any more based on what we saw 285 00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:16,239 for rendezvous okay do we have other 286 00:12:23,579 --> 00:12:20,049 questions Robert Robert problem with 287 00:12:25,619 --> 00:12:23,589 collectspace.com I think for Gary first 288 00:12:28,169 --> 00:12:25,629 a couple questions about things that 289 00:12:30,030 --> 00:12:28,179 were in the execute package today there 290 00:12:33,629 --> 00:12:30,040 was an area of interest I guess for the 291 00:12:35,819 --> 00:12:33,639 fly around on the ATV just describe what 292 00:12:38,729 --> 00:12:35,829 what it is and why they need imagery of 293 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:38,739 it yeah can touch on that I don't know 294 00:12:43,979 --> 00:12:41,410 too many of the details but I know when 295 00:12:46,319 --> 00:12:43,989 they when they initially launched and 296 00:12:48,509 --> 00:12:46,329 separated from their launch vehicle they 297 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:48,519 saw something a little bit off nominal 298 00:12:53,729 --> 00:12:51,360 and so they want to get some images of 299 00:12:57,119 --> 00:12:53,739 kind of the aft end of the vehicle where 300 00:12:58,829 --> 00:12:57,129 it was attached to launch vehicle and 301 00:13:01,319 --> 00:12:58,839 see if they can get some some kind of 302 00:13:04,379 --> 00:13:01,329 indication of help them explain what 303 00:13:05,489 --> 00:13:04,389 they saw on launch day so we're going to 304 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:05,499 take about 10 minutes out of the 305 00:13:09,419 --> 00:13:07,929 45-minute fly around and go ahead and 306 00:13:12,299 --> 00:13:09,429 focus in on that area and get a bunch of 307 00:13:13,859 --> 00:13:12,309 imagery forum and then we'll go ahead 308 00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:13,869 and configure back and get the rest of 309 00:13:18,970 --> 00:13:16,430 our normal fly around photos thanks 310 00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:18,980 and for Heather there's also a note 311 00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:21,110 about the docking camera not being 312 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:24,260 available to storm ops can you share 313 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:26,570 what what impact that has if any on the 314 00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:31,370 dtl sure thanks we had an issue with the 315 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:33,440 data recorder that records the camera 316 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:36,770 data during some docs activities we 317 00:13:40,930 --> 00:13:39,050 pulled data off our recorders and we 318 00:13:44,050 --> 00:13:40,940 were seeing some strange behaviors 319 00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:44,060 during that time so we added a checkout 320 00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:46,790 activity on flight day 13 and when we 321 00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:49,339 were trying to perform that activity the 322 00:13:55,290 --> 00:13:51,740 data recorder would not complete its 323 00:13:57,730 --> 00:13:55,300 initialization so at this point it looks 324 00:14:00,340 --> 00:13:57,740 likely that we won't be able to record 325 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:00,350 any docking camera data on the undock 326 00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:03,050 andrey rendezvous so that's that's a big 327 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:04,910 disappointment to the Storn team we're 328 00:14:08,860 --> 00:14:06,890 really fortunate that we got great data 329 00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:08,870 on rendezvous we met about two thirds of 330 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:11,060 our objectives already there were some 331 00:14:16,180 --> 00:14:13,370 lighting objectives that we didn't get 332 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:16,190 to see Sun entering and exiting the 333 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:18,290 field of view and a few other of the 334 00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:19,730 harsh lighting conditions we are hoping 335 00:14:26,829 --> 00:14:22,880 to assess with the camera it we have 336 00:14:29,190 --> 00:14:26,839 procedures prepared for drew that if the 337 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:29,200 recorder comes up nominally tomorrow 338 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:31,850 he'll follow a different set of 339 00:14:37,090 --> 00:14:34,250 procedures than if it if it does not 340 00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:37,100 initialize correctly tomorrow then he'll 341 00:14:41,579 --> 00:14:39,110 have to go and run a couple of extra 342 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:41,589 steps to power some things down for us 343 00:14:48,490 --> 00:14:45,410 and in the larger sense of the full test 344 00:14:50,380 --> 00:14:48,500 will that lack of a lack of data mean 345 00:14:53,740 --> 00:14:50,390 that you need another qualification run 346 00:14:55,530 --> 00:14:53,750 to fully test out this system or what it 347 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:55,540 whatever you get will be sufficient 348 00:15:01,510 --> 00:14:58,010 whatever we get will be sufficient and 349 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:01,520 the the rear on oovoo was most designed 350 00:15:06,730 --> 00:15:04,370 for the vns to meet the vns objectives 351 00:15:09,490 --> 00:15:06,740 so we have our primary objective coming 352 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:09,500 up at that long range on the rear on 353 00:15:14,199 --> 00:15:11,810 oovoo trajectory for the vns and it was 354 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:14,209 another opportunity to try to expand the 355 00:15:17,530 --> 00:15:15,649 range of lighting conditions that we 356 00:15:19,150 --> 00:15:17,540 would see on orbit that's one of those 357 00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:19,160 real tricky things to simulate on the 358 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:21,470 ground with cameras as much as you try 359 00:15:26,220 --> 00:15:23,570 Sun simulators and there's that 360 00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:26,230 harshness of the orbital shadowing and 361 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:29,510 lighting conditions we got to see a lot 362 00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:30,290 of those 363 00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:31,759 types of things during rendezvous we saw 364 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:34,639 some good Sun glints and some of those 365 00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:37,850 other things we saw a sunset on the 366 00:15:44,019 --> 00:15:40,420 station that we we got during rendezvous 367 00:15:47,410 --> 00:15:44,029 so we we were fortunate that we got as 368 00:15:50,530 --> 00:15:47,420 much as we did and I think we'll we feel 369 00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:50,540 will have been able to assess enough to 370 00:15:55,420 --> 00:15:52,399 feel that camera will be a good camera 371 00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:55,430 to use for Orion and one last question 372 00:16:00,370 --> 00:15:58,399 for Gary do you have transfer totals how 373 00:16:03,999 --> 00:16:00,380 much was moved cargo lies between 374 00:16:08,579 --> 00:16:04,009 shuttle and station I do not but we can 375 00:16:11,499 --> 00:16:08,589 easily get those for you okay Denise 376 00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:11,509 Denise Chow space.com are a question for 377 00:16:18,129 --> 00:16:16,790 Heather for the the storm sensors other 378 00:16:19,509 --> 00:16:18,139 than the five reflectors that were put 379 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:19,519 on the docking target from the last 380 00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:20,690 mission is there anything else that 381 00:16:25,569 --> 00:16:22,310 would need to be added to the station 382 00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:25,579 for it to be used with the MPCV or Orion 383 00:16:32,769 --> 00:16:30,079 capsule at this point no I think that 384 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:32,779 the fact that storm has proven that that 385 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:35,690 the sensor can lock on is further than 386 00:16:40,210 --> 00:16:38,720 five kilometers out allows them to have 387 00:16:42,970 --> 00:16:40,220 the good relative navigation information 388 00:16:45,460 --> 00:16:42,980 they need to target their burns for prox 389 00:16:47,230 --> 00:16:45,470 ops and approaching station for docking 390 00:16:49,090 --> 00:16:47,240 so that was that was the biggest thing 391 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:49,100 to prove out there's no light our 392 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:51,410 sensors today that go anywhere near five 393 00:16:56,050 --> 00:16:54,290 kilometers and so to have that proven 394 00:16:59,829 --> 00:16:56,060 out and to a lot of those models to go 395 00:17:01,720 --> 00:16:59,839 feed back into the MV cv project and to 396 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:01,730 know that the surfaces are reflective 397 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:04,850 enough as is at those ranges that was 398 00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:07,490 that was a big thing to go and prove and 399 00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:09,919 then a question for Gary I must wonder 400 00:17:13,090 --> 00:17:11,390 if you could share some of your thoughts 401 00:17:17,199 --> 00:17:13,100 on them endeavor and docking for the 402 00:17:20,730 --> 00:17:17,209 final time thanks sure so um obviously 403 00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:20,740 you know we've been focusing on this 404 00:17:26,260 --> 00:17:23,209 very long very complex mission for a 405 00:17:28,449 --> 00:17:26,270 long time and you know I think it's 406 00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:28,459 really going to hit home after endeavor 407 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:30,049 sitting on the runway there hopefully in 408 00:17:36,580 --> 00:17:34,370 Florida and in a couple days but you 409 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:36,590 know she's really been a great ship like 410 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:38,330 I said almost performed flawlessly his 411 00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:40,010 flight really the only a couple little 412 00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:42,110 issues we saw we're really nits 413 00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:44,480 and you know it is a real testament to 414 00:17:48,669 --> 00:17:46,309 the KSC team that prepares the vehicles 415 00:17:50,890 --> 00:17:48,679 that that we go off and execute these 416 00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:50,900 missions with so so it's going to be 417 00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:53,150 it's going to be sad to see see retire 418 00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:55,280 but I can think of a better mission for 419 00:18:02,289 --> 00:17:59,440 for her to have her last flight with so 420 00:18:04,299 --> 00:18:02,299 any additional questions here in Houston 421 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:04,309 a cig none we'll move on to put 422 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:06,490 reporters on the phone bridge marker oh 423 00:18:12,460 --> 00:18:10,010 yes thanks mark row for aviation week 424 00:18:15,310 --> 00:18:12,470 and I have two questions the first one 425 00:18:17,770 --> 00:18:15,320 is for Gary locker I just wondered 426 00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:17,780 if the reboost was part of the 427 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:22,030 preparations for the Soyuz 27 s mission 428 00:18:30,370 --> 00:18:26,890 coming up in June or some other reason 429 00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:30,380 yeah so you know the space station you 430 00:18:33,850 --> 00:18:31,940 think that vehicles come in and going on 431 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:33,860 a regular basis the progress ships for 432 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:36,530 the Soyuz vehicles as well as shuttles 433 00:18:41,860 --> 00:18:40,490 and you know HD vs etc so you know 434 00:18:43,390 --> 00:18:41,870 stations got to look at this from a 435 00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:43,400 long-term perspective so they're always 436 00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:45,500 looking at you know making sure that the 437 00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:48,260 vehicles in front of them especially the 438 00:18:52,770 --> 00:18:50,809 soils like you mentioned are going to be 439 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:52,780 have the right conditions for their 440 00:18:59,049 --> 00:18:55,610 re-entry and landing that's key so 441 00:19:00,100 --> 00:18:59,059 between a TV being there I think they're 442 00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:00,110 going to be there about another month 443 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:03,049 and with the orbiter there they 444 00:19:07,810 --> 00:19:05,450 basically they already had a plan to 445 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:07,820 manager their altitude to meet all 446 00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:10,730 everybody's requirements and then they 447 00:19:14,770 --> 00:19:13,100 were able to go ahead and accept a 448 00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:14,780 little bit of reboost from us as well 449 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:16,880 and still make everything work out down 450 00:19:21,190 --> 00:19:19,610 down the road so you know it's it's just 451 00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:21,200 a constant thing you do it space station 452 00:19:25,810 --> 00:19:23,660 is you continue to work your altitude 453 00:19:28,270 --> 00:19:25,820 and all your your vehicles come in and 454 00:19:30,940 --> 00:19:28,280 go in so really nothing unique here it's 455 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:30,950 just we were able to provide a little 456 00:19:35,730 --> 00:19:32,210 bit of propellant a little bit of help 457 00:19:38,980 --> 00:19:35,740 to him and so it worked out really well 458 00:19:42,810 --> 00:19:38,990 okay thank you I had a question for 459 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:42,820 Heather Hinkle I've heard that the storm 460 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:45,490 sensors that are being tested could be 461 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:49,730 part of the Cirrus bricks mission I 462 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:51,290 think I said that right that was 463 00:19:55,630 --> 00:19:53,690 announced last week or the asteroid 464 00:19:58,180 --> 00:19:55,640 sample return mission 465 00:20:01,240 --> 00:19:58,190 I just wondered if that was so and if 466 00:20:05,380 --> 00:20:01,250 correct how how the sensors might be 467 00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:05,390 used well i guess thanks for the 468 00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:07,550 question we actually received some 469 00:20:13,330 --> 00:20:09,560 emails from that group during this 470 00:20:15,010 --> 00:20:13,340 mission asking how it how's everything 471 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:15,020 going we're really looking forward to 472 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:18,410 using a sensor we've chosen the vns as 473 00:20:22,660 --> 00:20:20,450 our proxy up sensor for this mission and 474 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:22,670 we'd really like to hear about how 475 00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:24,530 things went and share some data with you 476 00:20:30,670 --> 00:20:26,840 or if you could share some data with us 477 00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:30,680 and so we sort of said everything's 478 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:32,360 going great and we love to meet with you 479 00:20:38,140 --> 00:20:34,610 but you got to get wait till after the 480 00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:38,150 mission we're pretty busy with all the 481 00:20:44,050 --> 00:20:41,480 preparing for all this but as you saw 482 00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:44,060 from the very last light especially if 483 00:20:48,460 --> 00:20:46,430 you went would approach something that 484 00:20:51,010 --> 00:20:48,470 had no reflective elements on it for you 485 00:20:52,660 --> 00:20:51,020 the vns can paint you a complete 486 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:52,670 three-dimensional picture of where 487 00:20:57,700 --> 00:20:54,890 you're going so I think we will have a 488 00:21:00,430 --> 00:20:57,710 lot of really great data that we can 489 00:21:02,860 --> 00:21:00,440 hopefully find a way to do some great 490 00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:02,870 sharing with that project and they can 491 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:04,520 utilize that to help build some 492 00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:06,530 algorithms we're also working with 493 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:09,470 another gutter group building another 494 00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:12,320 vns and the same sort of purpose which 495 00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:14,480 would be where you don't have any 496 00:21:18,910 --> 00:21:16,430 reflective surfaces that you've put on 497 00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:18,920 there in known locations and you have to 498 00:21:23,650 --> 00:21:21,440 use that raw three-dimensional range and 499 00:21:27,330 --> 00:21:23,660 intensity image to do europe your 500 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:27,340 ranging and approach information with 501 00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:30,650 and I meant it if I might follow on that 502 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:34,070 does that mean you're going to sort of 503 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:36,890 look into the possibility of using the 504 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:40,610 sensors for that mission or that's to be 505 00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:45,170 determined way down the road so I'm not 506 00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:48,860 sure I understood your question yo yet 507 00:21:54,970 --> 00:21:52,910 way I see the storm group yeah I just 508 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:54,980 wondered if the storm sensors were a 509 00:22:01,390 --> 00:21:57,890 possible part of that mission or it they 510 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:01,400 will be used as part of that fight okay 511 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:05,330 so I understand so the storm vns sensor 512 00:22:09,130 --> 00:22:07,760 is the particular one that there that 513 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:09,140 they have chosen to use for their 514 00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:14,090 mission so I the storm mission has sort 515 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:17,750 of proven out in space the ability to 516 00:22:24,820 --> 00:22:21,290 track surfaces to provide this very high 517 00:22:27,460 --> 00:22:24,830 highly accurate three-dimensional image 518 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:27,470 of what you're approaching and I think 519 00:22:32,370 --> 00:22:29,570 that they'll find that the data is going 520 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:32,380 to be extremely useful for their mission 521 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:38,690 thank you Dad it mark yes sir thank you 522 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:42,890 Steven Clark I think so for taking my 523 00:22:48,850 --> 00:22:46,370 call you are one of you refresh us on on 524 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:48,860 which crew members play what roles on 525 00:22:56,170 --> 00:22:53,450 the storm we rendezvous do box and Mark 526 00:22:58,120 --> 00:22:56,180 Kelly switch positions in terms of who's 527 00:23:03,610 --> 00:22:58,130 overseeing the piloting duties during 528 00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:03,620 that Rwanda reproach yeah so so box will 529 00:23:07,660 --> 00:23:06,110 be on the controls once we open the 530 00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:07,670 hooks and start backing endeavour away 531 00:23:12,610 --> 00:23:10,040 from the space station he'll he'll be a 532 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:12,620 controlling it flying it back out on the 533 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:14,930 v-bar till till he gets about 400 feet 534 00:23:18,940 --> 00:23:16,970 or so and then it'll initiate the fly 535 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:18,950 around activity and he will be in 536 00:23:24,910 --> 00:23:20,330 control the vehicle for the whole fly 537 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:24,920 around one step one is complete box a 538 00:23:28,810 --> 00:23:26,690 marker in a swap positions and mark will 539 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:28,820 be flying the storm rerun of a 540 00:23:34,990 --> 00:23:32,290 trajectory and doing all those burns oh 541 00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:35,000 and I'm sorry I guess the obviously 542 00:23:40,270 --> 00:23:38,060 Drew's going to be our key guy on the 543 00:23:42,490 --> 00:23:40,280 storm laptop and and all the stored 544 00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:42,500 procedures these are he's our go-to guy 545 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:45,200 for storms so until that's going to play 546 00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:52,090 out all right thank you Bill Harwood 547 00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:55,130 yeah thanks 24 for Heather you mentioned 548 00:23:58,660 --> 00:23:57,200 that this has possible applications for 549 00:24:00,880 --> 00:23:58,670 displacement is this something that a 550 00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:00,890 commercial manned spacecraft provider 551 00:24:09,070 --> 00:24:05,020 could licensed for use yes absolutely 552 00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:09,080 this has very valid application for any 553 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:11,960 space vehicle trying to perform the 554 00:24:17,410 --> 00:24:13,610 function of rendezvous and docking 555 00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:17,420 either with another vehicle or trying to 556 00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:19,790 land it on a surface or to rendezvous 557 00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:22,020 into close proximity with 558 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:23,990 something else that's out in space 559 00:24:28,490 --> 00:24:26,730 Thanks and then the standard reporter 560 00:24:30,500 --> 00:24:28,500 question is there a cost that goes with 561 00:24:34,750 --> 00:24:30,510 this test today the hardware and what is 562 00:24:37,370 --> 00:24:34,760 costs put it together yeah the that 563 00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:37,380 putting together the sensor sort of came 564 00:24:43,610 --> 00:24:41,310 from three different flavors the Orion 565 00:24:46,550 --> 00:24:43,620 project there's always a set of 566 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:46,560 non-recurring engineering costs to get 567 00:24:52,730 --> 00:24:48,810 your foundry set up to build your very 568 00:24:56,210 --> 00:24:52,740 high highly technical detector that 569 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:56,220 detects the laser light so there's that 570 00:25:01,490 --> 00:24:58,170 sort of underlying cost that's a 571 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:01,500 one-time thing then the work to put the 572 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:05,130 actual unit together test the unit and 573 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:07,770 also the camera that was paid for under 574 00:25:12,890 --> 00:25:09,570 Orion as well under a different contract 575 00:25:15,380 --> 00:25:12,900 and then Lockheed Martin actually 576 00:25:17,990 --> 00:25:15,390 purchased the vns unit and is letting 577 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:18,000 the government borrow it to fly on storm 578 00:25:22,550 --> 00:25:20,130 and then it will go back to their ground 579 00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:22,560 facility in Denver where they'll 580 00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:26,400 recreate the about 200 feet in storm 581 00:25:32,660 --> 00:25:29,580 trajectory from rendezvous and docking 582 00:25:35,390 --> 00:25:32,670 on the vivar and use that to update 583 00:25:39,220 --> 00:25:35,400 models and to practice their GNC 584 00:25:44,420 --> 00:25:39,230 algorithms so it's sort of a 585 00:25:46,910 --> 00:25:44,430 conglomeration of cost well no I 586 00:25:48,260 --> 00:25:46,920 understand that what number is there out 587 00:25:55,910 --> 00:25:48,270 there however you want to characterize 588 00:25:58,220 --> 00:25:55,920 it let's see it's in the order of tens 589 00:26:00,560 --> 00:25:58,230 of millions by the time you add in all 590 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:00,570 the non-recurring engineering the unit 591 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:06,330 itself is was less than two million 592 00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:09,810 dollars i believe and then the cost to 593 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:13,260 do all of the preparation of the unit 594 00:26:19,490 --> 00:26:17,010 the tech the qualification testing for 595 00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:19,500 environmental certifying it to fly in 596 00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:21,150 the shuttle that was under 10 million 597 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:28,560 okay I believe we know how we have no 598 00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:31,890 further questions so on the transfer 599 00:26:36,570 --> 00:26:34,510 question we we don't have a number from 600 00:26:38,789 --> 00:26:36,580 late today earlier in the crew day that 601 00:26:41,730 --> 00:26:38,799 was about eighty-two percent complete we 602 00:26:46,410 --> 00:26:41,740 expect some fresher numbers in a tag up 603 00:26:49,410 --> 00:26:46,420 a little bit later today that will 604 00:26:52,350 --> 00:26:49,420 conclude today's briefing you can follow 605 00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:52,360 activities of endeavor and the
