re-entry up 218 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:40,399 we will be ready 219 00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:44,480 for the soyuz commander alex kononenko 220 00:14:48,750 --> 00:14:46,240 at the time of landing here in the next 221 00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:48,760 few hours will have wrapped up 222 00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:52,320 392 days in space on his two flights 223 00:14:56,470 --> 00:14:54,959 he flew as part of expedition 17 four 224 00:14:59,269 --> 00:14:56,480 years ago 225 00:15:02,949 --> 00:14:59,279 kononenko will wind up in 14th place on 226 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:02,959 the all-time list for space endurance 227 00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:05,440 don pettit uh with the completion of 228 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:07,760 this mission will rank fourth on the 229 00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:10,560 all-time list for most time in space by 230 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:13,360 an american astronaut 231 00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:17,120 his 370 days in space puts him behind 232 00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:19,680 mike fink peggy whitson and mike foale 233 00:15:24,150 --> 00:15:22,240 on the all-time us space endurance list 234 00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:24,160 andre kuipers of the european space 235 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:27,519 agency completing 204 days in space on 236 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:30,720 his two flights having flown 237 00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:33,680 up and down on a soyuz flight 238 00:15:38,829 --> 00:15:36,160 for the european space agency 11 days on 239 00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:38,839 his initial mission back in 240 00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:41,360 2004 make sure you know 241 00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:43,199 what to expect 242 00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:45,920 and sasha did you uh watch telemetry 243 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:47,680 during the test 244 00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:49,519 yes we did 245 00:15:58,710 --> 00:15:56,150 right now we're analyzing telemetry that 246 00:16:00,949 --> 00:16:00,069 uh we 247 00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,959 think 248 00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:02,160 uh 249 00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:04,079 from what we saw through the tv cameras 250 00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:05,680 during the separation of the vehicle 251 00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:07,360 everything looks good 252 00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:08,639 and 253 00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:10,240 preliminary 254 00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:13,199 parameters look good for the test 255 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:16,639 okay and was it recorded 256 00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:18,480 it was recorded 257 00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:28,470 alec kononenko the soyuz commander 258 00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:30,399 strapped into the center seat of the 259 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:32,240 descent module the center section of the 260 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:34,880 soyuz spacecraft 261 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:37,040 receiving good reports from the russian 262 00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:38,399 flight controllers at the russian 263 00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:41,120 mission control center outside moscow on 264 00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:43,519 the completion of that digital autopilot 265 00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:47,040 test once again verifying a component 266 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:49,120 an upgraded component in the soyuz 267 00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:51,040 spacecraft that would enable a 268 00:16:55,030 --> 00:16:53,120 re-docking or a manual docking of a 269 00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:55,040 soyuz to the russian segment of the 270 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:56,160 station 271 00:17:00,870 --> 00:16:58,320 in the unlikely event of the failure of 272 00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:00,880 an automated cores system 273 00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:03,920 on board the complex this would enable a 274 00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:06,799 soyuz commander to manually fly the 275 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:09,760 soyuz vehicle in for a docking in a much 276 00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:12,480 more facile manner than before without 277 00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:14,959 the station crew having uh to tend to 278 00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:59,190 flight control room 279 00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:03,270 the soyuz tma-03m visible from cameras 280 00:18:06,870 --> 00:18:05,120 on the international space station as 281 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:06,880 well as the complex 282 00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:08,960 flying over the north pacific at an 283 00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:12,000 altitude of 250 statute miles both 284 00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:14,160 spacecraft beginning a northwest to 285 00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:16,080 southeasterly track 286 00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:17,360 that will carry 287 00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:20,080 the two vehicles into an orbital sunset 288 00:18:27,120 --> 00:19:00,390 a little now 289 00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:03,190 yeah i think so um let me just double 290 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:05,360 check on that but i think um we're good 291 00:19:11,110 --> 00:19:08,480 with that and you can press on for the 292 00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:11,120 rest of the free flight 293 00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:12,880 with the push to talk button to talk to 294 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:13,760 us 295 00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:16,160 okay and we're releasing the transmit 296 00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:51,190 the soyuz tma-03m phasing away from the 297 00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:53,520 international space station in the 298 00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:57,120 descent module the center section 299 00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,200 ally kononenko the soyuz commander 300 00:20:03,990 --> 00:20:01,840 flying under the call sign of antares 301 00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:04,000 which was also the name of the lunar 302 00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:06,480 module that landed on the moon on apollo 303 00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:09,679 14 in february of 1971 with alan shepard 304 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:16,070 the top section of the soyuz that bulba 305 00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:17,760 section that's the orbital module and 306 00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:19,760 the lower section the instrumentation 307 00:20:23,909 --> 00:20:21,760 and propulsion module with the solar 308 00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:23,919 arrays those three sections will 309 00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:26,880 separate in a pyrotechnic separation of 310 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:30,400 the modules at 2 47 am 311 00:20:34,549 --> 00:20:32,960 central time about 28 minutes after the 312 00:20:36,310 --> 00:20:34,559 deorbit burn 313 00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:36,320 the separation of the modules will 314 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:37,600 enable the 315 00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:40,159 descent module to be reoriented with the 316 00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:42,559 heat shield flying first 317 00:20:48,710 --> 00:20:45,200 into the atmosphere to ablate or bleed 318 00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:48,720 off all of the heat um that will be 319 00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:50,720 generated by the high speed reentry of 320 00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:52,159 the soyuz back into the earth's 321 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:54,159 atmosphere 322 00:20:58,390 --> 00:20:56,480 atmospheric entry reaching the first 323 00:21:01,430 --> 00:20:58,400 traces of the earth's atmosphere at an 324 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:01,440 altitude of about 400 000 feet will 325 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:03,039 occur at 326 00:21:08,789 --> 00:21:07,120 2 50 a.m central time 327 00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:08,799 that will be followed by the command to 328 00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:11,520 uh begin the sequence of parachute 329 00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:14,240 deployments first a drogue chute that 330 00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:17,919 will deploy the drogue chute will 331 00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:22,400 can't the soyuz spacecraft at an angle 332 00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:23,200 the 333 00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:24,559 drogue chute 334 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,960 which measures about 24 square meters 335 00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:29,200 will slow the soyuz down from a descent 336 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:32,480 rate of 230 meters per second to just 80 337 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:34,720 meters per second that will be followed 338 00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:37,440 by the release of the main parachute 339 00:21:41,590 --> 00:21:39,520 covering an area of about a thousand 340 00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:41,600 meters it slows the soyuz to a descent 341 00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:44,559 rate of 7.2 meters per second the 342 00:21:48,549 --> 00:21:46,400 harness is first allowing the soyuz to 343 00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:48,559 descend at an angle of 30 degrees to 344 00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:51,120 expel heat and then shifting the soyuz 345 00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:53,280 to a straight vertical descent 346 00:21:58,149 --> 00:21:56,240 just seconds before touchdown of course 347 00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:58,159 you are familiar with the firing of the 348 00:22:01,669 --> 00:22:00,640 soft landing engines one final braking 349 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:01,679 maneuver 350 00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:03,120 that will 351 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:06,000 slow the soyuz down and enable it to 352 00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:07,760 touch down on the southeast step of 353 00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:10,320 kazakhstan with the landing site about
