1
00:00:13,669 --> 00:00:10,870
uh we are aligned exactly with the uh

2
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:13,679
access of the docking port

3
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:20,710
leds to come on

4
00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:23,109
now receiving video from the soyuz

5
00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:25,279
vehicle as uh we have begun a trek

6
00:00:29,669 --> 00:00:27,279
across a string of russian ground

7
00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:29,679
stations 58 meters separating the two

8
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:31,439
vehicles yuri malenchenko the soyuz

9
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:33,120
commander flying under the call sign of

10
00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:34,079
agat

11
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:36,559
which is uh the word for a very lustrous

12
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,280
stone uh he's calling out the precise

13
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:41,840
alignment of that crosshaired docking

14
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,079
camera with uh the docking target on the

15
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:48,320
rossviet module everything continuing to

16
00:01:01,110 --> 00:00:57,750
we can for mrs prepare group

17
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:03,910
final approach parameters are nominal

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:49,270
hmm

19
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,429
now flying over northwest kazakhstan

20
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:53,040
just 40 meters away from the

21
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:54,560
international space station the

22
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,719
three-section soyuz vehicle the forward

23
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,399
section is the orbital module with the

24
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:00,719
forward docking probe extended ready to

25
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:02,240
come into contact with the rossview

26
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:04,960
module docking port the crew

27
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:07,360
malenchenko williams and hoshide are in

28
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:10,479
their contoured custom-made seat liners

29
00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:12,400
uh in the center section the descent

30
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:14,239
module the only portion of the soyuz

31
00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:16,160
that returns to earth and at the very

32
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:17,680
back end that white section with the

33
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:19,599
solar rays is the instrumentation and

34
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,680
propulsion module obviously where the

35
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:23,680
propellant tanks and the engines are

36
00:02:43,200 --> 00:03:16,869
copy

37
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:30,630
foreign

38
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:32,630
approaching 20 meters

39
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:35,519
the target is in the center

40
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:38,000
a slight deviation and of course

41
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:39,280
less than

42
00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:47,030
the electronic voice of yuri malenchenko

43
00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:50,239
the soyuz commander uh reporting uh that

44
00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:52,799
his vehicle is close to 20 meters away

45
00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,159
from the international space station now

46
00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:58,959
the space station one million pounds of

47
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:01,680
mass the soyuz vehicle and an orbital

48
00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:04,799
ballet just meters away from one another

49
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:08,239
traveling at five miles a second

50
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,270
we confirmed small role

51
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:19,030
and the

52
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:24,800
is being compensated and we are still

53
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:46,150
so

54
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,749
we are crossing 15 meters the rate is

55
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:51,199
normal

56
00:05:28,629 --> 00:04:53,840
uh the uh target is very close to the

57
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,230
you can see the cores automated

58
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,240
rendezvous system uh the crosshairs and

59
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:34,320
this engineering view uh just about

60
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:35,680
perfectly aligned with the docking

61
00:06:02,710 --> 00:05:38,400
target on the rassvet module just 10

62
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:04,870
now inside four meters standing by for

63
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:10,550
all parameters are within the range

64
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:30,469
hockey

65
00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,469
but again everything is within the range

66
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:34,880
has been compensated

67
00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:36,880
the rate is normal standing by for

68
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,550
uh the target

69
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,319
yes

70
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:46,400
almost at the center because here's the

71
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:48,160
one

72
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,840
contact confirmed

73
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:51,520

the uh

89
00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:52,879
station is now in free drift all

90
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:54,879
thrusters are currently disabled to

91
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,319
enable the relative motion between the

92
00:08:02,309 --> 00:07:58,319
two vehicles to dampen out for the

93
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:07,990
thank you very much

94
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:09,510

center in curry off

98
00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:16,479
so on the 37th anniversary of that

99
00:08:20,309 --> 00:08:18,319
famous handshake in space by tom

100
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:20,319
stafford and alexey leonov during the

101
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:22,240
apollo soyuz mission

102
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:24,240
another union of crews takes place to

103
00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:31,189
again

104
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:43,430
and wasting little time of the visiting

105
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:45,200
vehicle officer reports that the forward

106
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:47,680
docking probe on the soyuz is currently

107
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:49,920
being retracted that will bring of the

108
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,640
two

109
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:52,880

110
00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,040
and the soyuz into

111
00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:57,519
a firm mate with one another and enable

112
00:09:35,110 --> 00:08:59,920

moscow

115
00:10:02,389 --> 00:09:58,470
we're in the process of measurement we

116
00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:04,550
at 7 53

117
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:06,000
that would be the time of the actual

118
00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:09,040
measurement right yes affirmative

119
00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:11,040
what is the essa pressure eight three

120
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:12,399
five good

121
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:13,360
better

122
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:16,000
question orbital compartment

123
00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:17,600
eight or

124
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:29,829
so a smooth and uneventful docking by

125
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:30,800
the book

126
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:32,000
executed

00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:58,399
the docking probe on the forward end of

139
00:11:04,069 --> 00:11:01,600
the soyuz is retracting that will be

140
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:04,079
completed to initiate the closing of the

141
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:05,120
hooks

142
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:07,440
from the soyuz vehicle to form a hard

143
00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:09,279
mate between the soyuz and the rossignol

144
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:12,399
module docking port and to initiate a

145
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:14,480
period of two orbits or three hours

146
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:16,560
worth of leak checks to make sure we

147
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:18,880
have a tight seal between the two craft

148
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:20,320
leading to the pressurization of the

149
00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:23,120
small vestibule between the rassvet and

150
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:24,959
the soyuz and the eventual opening of

151
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:45,670
and as we mentioned uh it is noteworthy

152
00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:47,279
uh that today uh

153
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:50,240
july 17th is the 37th anniversary of the

154
00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:52,959
docking of the apollo spacecraft that

155
00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,279
was commanded by tom stafford along with

156
00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:57,200
vance brand and dick slayton as his

157
00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:58,320
crewmates

158
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:01,120
with the soyuz 19 spacecraft commanded

159
00:12:06,629 --> 00:12:03,680
by alexey leonov and his crewmate valeri

160
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:06,639
kobasov as they linked up

161
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:09,120
over the earth those five crew members

162
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:11,600
in the apollo soyuz test project which

163
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:14,480
uh 37 years ago was a significant

164
00:12:19,509 --> 00:12:17,279
engineering and political statement that

165
00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:19,519
brought the united states and what was

166
00:12:24,069 --> 00:12:21,760
then the soviet union together in a

167
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:24,079
project that resulted in the initiation

168
00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:25,680
of the joint cooperation that we have

169
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:28,399
seen evolve over the course of three and

170
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:30,720
a half decades to lead to the

171
00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:32,959
international space station assembly and

172
00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:35,519
its current utilization the docking of

173
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:37,519
the apollo and the soyuz occurring on

174
00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:42,079
july 17 1975 at 1109 am central time

175
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:44,959
1209 pm eastern time as the two

176
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:47,360
spacecraft flew over the earth with the

177
00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:49,279
hatch opening and handshakes between

178
00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:51,600
stafford and leonov occurring over the

179
00:12:56,870 --> 00:12:54,959
town of mets in france

180
00:12:59,430 --> 00:12:56,880
that opened up two days of joint

181
00:13:32,710 --> 00:12:59,440
operations a very significant historic

182
00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:36,150
we see the cycling

183
00:13:52,959 --> 00:14:21,990
uh

184
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:24,069
this is mission controlled corey off we

185
00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:26,240
now have confirmation that the hooks are

186
00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,800
closed on the soyuz vehicle at the

187
00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,399
docking interface with the rossviet

188
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:32,399
module so we now have a hard mate

189
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:34,639
between soyuz and the international

190
00:14:40,069 --> 00:14:38,240
space station after a flawless docking

191
00:14:43,990 --> 00:14:40,079
between the two craft that occurred once

192
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:44,000
