00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,710
here

3
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:32,229
the first umbilical has now separated

4
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:46,869

00:00:53,029 --> 00:00:48,790
launch

6
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,039
initiated okay we copy and everything is

7
00:01:10,830 --> 00:00:54,960
nominal on board we are ready for the

8
00:01:15,749 --> 00:01:13,910
ignition and we have a lift off liftoff

9
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:15,759
of steve swanson oleg mayev and

10
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:18,400
alexander schwartzoff on a six-hour

11
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:19,840
journey to the international space

12
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,390
soyuz lights up the nice guy there at

13
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,240
the baikonur cosmodrome good first stage

14
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,920
performance the soyuz delivering a total

15
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,479
of 466 tons of thrust

16
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,720
from its four boosters and single engine

17
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:44,720
the first stage of the soyuz measures 68

18
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:47,119
feet in length and 24 feet in diameter

19
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:48,960
it is burning liquid fuel for the first

20
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:51,680
one minute and 58 seconds of the flight

21
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:54,640
nominal

22
00:02:09,350 --> 00:01:56,960
functionality is stable

23
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:10,949
one minute into the flight velocity is

24
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:12,640
now approaching one thousand one hundred

25
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:17,510
right now

26
00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:19,920
okay we're coffee the crew is doing

27
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:27,510
the crew is reporting that everything is

28
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:29,360
a looking good the flight to shaping up

29
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,840
as planned

30
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:33,200
approaching the one minute 30 second

31
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:48,630
thrusters working

32
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:03,190
the escape tower has now been jettisoned

33
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:08,470
the four strap-on boosters have been

34
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:09,840
jettisoned these have completed their

35
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,440
job and have dropped away at an altitude

36
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,519
of 28 statute miles the soyuz is

37
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:15,280
traveling at about 3

38
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,360
350 miles an hour

39
00:03:38,869 --> 00:03:22,400
first stage separation no issues we copy

40
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:51,350
nominal

41
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,710
the launch strat has now been jettisoned

42
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,640
the rockets altitude is now 48 miles

43
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,400
high as we look live on board there's

44
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,640
alexander scorsese

45
00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:00,799
going low-tech with that uh sticky as in

46
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,560
his hand that's what he's using to input

47
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,319
commands into the soyuz computer there

48
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,239
on the right is oligarch

49
00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:08,159
just to the left out of you is nasa

50
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:18,949
we are observing all of it

51
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:20,390
the soyuz is currently traveling at a

52
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:22,240
speed of 4700

53
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,990
everything is nominal on board

54
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:40,080
everything reported nominal as expected

55
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:42,479
the soyuz core stage is performing

56
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:44,080
extremely well the core stage of the

57
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:46,639
soyuz is 56 feet in length

58
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:48,320
13 and a half feet in diameter with a

59
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:49,680
single engine with four combustion

60
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:52,560
chambers providing 111 tons of thrust

61
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:54,160
for its three minutes and 28 seconds of

62
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,680
operation following that separation of

63
00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:57,600
the four strap-on boosters that we saw

64
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:59,600
close to the two-minute mark

65
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:00,960
the stage will continue to burn until

66
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,600
the four-minute 43 second mark

67
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:05,120
as we talked about the soyuz uses what's

68
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,800
called a hot stage technique this third

69
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,880
stage will ignite while the second stage

70
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:10,080
is still burning and still attacking

71
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,680
second stage

72
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:13,280
this is why the soyuz has an open area

73
00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:15,440
in between the second and thirds

74
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:17,039
thank you for the report the crew is

75
00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:22,070
22 23 ready

76
00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:31,590
yeah the picture we're getting is not

77
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:33,520
that great

78
00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:35,680
okay r11

79
00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:36,840
has been

80
00:06:02,550 --> 00:05:59,909
the third stage is now igniting the

81
00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:02,560
second stage is a shutting down

82
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:05,199
we copy a deactivation of the second

83
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,520
stage second stage has now separated

84
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:11,680
separation

85
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:13,840
we copy and everything is nominal on

86
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:16,880
board we are feeling great

87
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:18,400
now that the core booster is separating

88
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:21,280
and falling away the soldiers altitude

89
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:26,790
stable

90
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:35,350
approaching five and a half minutes into

91
00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:36,880
the flight the soyuz now being propelled

92
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,560
by the single engine of the soyuz's

93
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:40,080
third stage

94
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:42,800
this engine is providing 33.5 tons of

95
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,759
thrust

96
00:06:49,469 --> 00:06:45,199
and will burn for four minutes in two

97
00:06:49,479 --> 00:07:14,950
340 40 seconds light is nominal

98
00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:16,870
six minutes into the flight everything

99
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:18,639
going according to plan the crew reports

100
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:51,990
foreign

101
00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,110
everything is nominal and stable

102
00:08:05,749 --> 00:07:57,520
we copy everything is nominal on board

103
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:07,189
approaching seven minutes into the

104
00:08:10,589 --> 00:08:08,960
flight again on the far right hand side

105
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:10,599
is

106
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:13,440
oligarchy he will become the 212th

107
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:15,759
person onboard the space station

108
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,280
he is a first-time flyer there in the

109
00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:18,960
middle alexander skortsov this is his

110
00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:21,039
second flight

111
00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:23,039
on the left is nasa astronaut steve

112
00:08:37,990 --> 00:08:24,960
swanson just out of camera view

113
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:39,829
seven minutes and 30 seconds into the

114
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:42,240
flight velocity now almost 13

115
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:44,480
500 miles an hour as we take a live shot

116
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:45,680
inside the mission control center here

117
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:47,680
in houston this team is uh steadily

118
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:49,839
watching along as the soyuz finishes its

119
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:51,760
climb up into orbit second flight is

120
00:09:05,190 --> 00:08:55,440
nominal no issues we copy everything's

121
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,949
approaching the eight minute mark once

122
00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,640
the third stage delivers the soyuz to

123
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:10,720
orbit and the module is separated

124
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:12,640
a series of pre-programmed commands will

125
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,160
be executed to prepare the soyuz for

126
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:16,399
orbital operations the stored commands

127
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,480
called timed tagged commands allow many

128
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:20,160
of the soyuz systems to be automatically

129
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,160
activated by the onboard computers at

130
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:23,839
precise times that have been stored

131
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:32,949
we are feeling well and everything is

132
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:42,230
eight and a half minutes into the flight

133
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:43,670
approaching a third stage cutoff and

134
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:45,440
separation momentarily

135
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:48,240
if you keep your eye on quack the duck

136
00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:51,040
should be floating here shortly

137
00:10:08,550 --> 00:09:57,350
weightlessness confirmed

138
00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:10,710
altitude right now the soyuz is 125

139
00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,079
statute miles

140
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,240
how do you read

141
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,560
okay guys have a successful flight i
