liftoff of the soyuz 12 00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:57,440 tma-04m 13 00:01:01,349 --> 00:00:59,600 on its way for the crew to join the 14 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:01,359 international space station expedition 15 00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,800 31 crew 16 00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:04,559 carrying flight engineers gennady 17 00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:07,840 padalka sergei revin and joe acaba into 18 00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:13,190 um good first stage performance soyuz 19 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,439 now delivering 102 tons of thrust for 20 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:17,520 its four boosters and single engine 21 00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:19,600 first stage of the soyuz measures 68 22 00:01:24,149 --> 00:01:22,479 feet in length and 24 feet in diameter 23 00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:24,159 it's burning liquid fuel for the first 24 00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:25,680 two minutes and six seconds of the 25 00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:26,799 flight 26 00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:28,799 a nominal glow 27 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:30,479 increase 28 00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:33,119 it happens very smoothly and we feel 29 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:52,950 a small vibration other than 30 00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,870 hear everything continuing as planned 31 00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:56,799 now a minute and 10 seconds into flight 32 00:02:17,589 --> 00:01:59,920 the velocity of the soyuz rocket is 1100 33 00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:19,589 everything's still going well 34 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,080 great view here from the clear skies in 35 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:24,160 baikonur as the soyuz makes its way into 36 00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:25,440 space 37 00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:28,239 stage one and two thrusters operate 38 00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:31,040 nominally 100 seconds right as nominal 39 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,309 just over two minutes now into the 40 00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:54,160 flight the four strap-on boosters as you 41 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:56,080 saw there have been jettison 42 00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,440 these have completed their job and 43 00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,440 dropped away at an altitude of 28 44 00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,200 statute miles and the soyuz now 45 00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:02,959 traveling at about 46 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,110 view here inside 47 00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:17,360 soyuz capsule again looking at gennady 48 00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:20,239 padalka on the left and sergey revin on 49 00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:22,720 the right with joe acaba just out of 50 00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:24,080 view to 51 00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:26,000 the right of padalka separation 52 00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,080 confirmed 53 00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:30,879 now two minutes and 45 seconds into 54 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,040 today's flight escape tower and launch 55 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,000 round have also been jettisoned now 56 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,560 and their review of uh joe 57 00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,319 joe acaba 58 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:42,239 inside the soyuz 59 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:44,159 capsule making his way to the 60 00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:45,680 international space station for his 61 00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:47,840 first long duration mission his first 62 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:54,470 three minutes now and uh 10 seconds into 63 00:04:01,990 --> 00:03:56,239 today's flight so he's traveling at a 64 00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,670 lots of waves and thumbs up there from 65 00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,720 the crew 66 00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:06,239 everything continuing to go well in 67 00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:08,959 today's flight 68 00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,280 soyuz core stage is performing as 69 00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:13,439 expected its core stage of the soyuz is 70 00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:16,479 56 feet in length and 13 and a half feet 71 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:18,639 in diameter with a single engine with 72 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,199 four fuel chambers providing 96 tons of 73 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:23,680 thrust for its 3 minute and 28 seconds 74 00:04:48,240 --> 00:05:14,469 copy and everything's okay on board 75 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:17,029 everything is nominal 76 00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:18,800 here in this view of joe acaba you can 77 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,639 also just make out next to the window 78 00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:23,199 that he's sitting by the smokey bear 79 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:25,280 talisman that the crew has chosen to 80 00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:28,080 give them a clue when they reach 81 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:30,160 microgravity it'll be 82 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,039 of course floating one said they do make 83 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:35,520 it to that point we're now four minutes 84 00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:48,150 stage three thrusters are fired 85 00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:51,280 stage two separation confirmed no issue 86 00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,150 booster now burned out and separated an 87 00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:00,479 altitude of 105 miles 88 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:03,360 and start the third stage the soyuz now 89 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:23,510 we see you and see you waving at us 90 00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:27,590 stage thruster exaggerated normally 91 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:29,759 everything on board we feel great now 92 00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:31,919 issues 93 00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:34,639 everything is nominal 94 00:06:38,230 --> 00:06:36,319 third stage as you heard they're now 95 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:38,240 separated as well that engine provided 96 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:40,400 30 tons of thrust and burned for four 97 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:43,199 minutes and two seconds 98 00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:44,800 everything continuing to go well in 99 00:07:15,270 --> 00:06:47,120 today's uh fight to the international 100 00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:18,629 stage three thruster operating nominally 101 00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:20,240 copy everything's okay on board no 102 00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:26,870 jared they're all continuing to go well 103 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:30,720 now uh six minutes and 45 seconds into 104 00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:33,520 flight which occurred on time at 1001 pm 105 00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:35,840 central time that's 901 a.m baikonur 106 00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:54,150 420 seconds 107 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:16,869 everything's okay 108 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:19,270 four hundred and fifty 109 00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:21,120 seconds 110 00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,199 nominal flight nourish copy every 111 00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:25,360 pennsylka on board we also don't have 112 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:26,960 any issues copy 113 00:08:31,749 --> 00:08:29,759 seven minutes and 45 seconds now in 114 00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:31,759 today's flight velocity of the soyuz 115 00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:35,120 about 13 500 miles an hour 116 00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,880 once the third stage delivers the soyuz 117 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,719 to orbit and the module is separated a 118 00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:40,479 series of pre-programmed commands will 119 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,320 be executed to prepare the soyuz for 120 00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:44,800 orbital operations 121 00:08:47,829 --> 00:08:46,800 those stored mounds are called time tag 122 00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:47,839 commands 123 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:49,760 and allow many of the soyuz systems to 124 00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:51,680 be automatically activated by onboard 125 00:09:06,150 --> 00:08:54,080 computers at precise time stored in the 126 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:09,350 500 seconds 127 00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,279 normal fight 128 00:09:36,310 --> 00:09:13,279 everything's okay on board 129 00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:39,829 thermal sensor nominal operation we see 130 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,590 third stage separation now has been 131 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:53,519 confirmed the single 132 00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:55,600 liquid fuel engine shut down and dropped 133 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:58,480 away at an altitude of about 125 statute 134 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,949 it's performing 135 00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:04,959 avoidance maneuver by opening a valve 136 00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:07,920 and it's liquid oxygen tank 137 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:14,150 standing by 138 00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:18,160 on the vehicle system 139 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:21,760 it looks like separation was nominal 140 00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:27,269 proceeding 141 00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:48,230 now ten minutes and three seconds into 142 00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:50,560 five the crew is uh and the soyuz now 143 00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:53,200 safely in orbit and the spacecraft is 144 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,480 automatically executing its
