sts-127 and he's logged more than 376

10
00:00:36,389 --> 00:00:34,480

actually looking at is he's got a

28
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:45,119
checklist over there that he's taking a

29
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:46,079
look at

30
00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:47,680

locking it with that bar that comes down

38
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:16,000

we've rolled to a heads-up position now

81
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,560
providing better communications to the

commander chris ferguson will be

93
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,720
maneuvering atlantis now into an

94
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,880
orientation to enable sandy magnus to

95
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,720
capture digital still imagery of the
