1
00:00:10,150 --> 00:00:07,909
launch command has been issued that

2
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:10,160
second umbilical retracting the boosters

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:21,910
we have preliminary booster ignition

4
00:00:25,589 --> 00:00:23,349
and liftoff

5
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:25,599
liftoff of reid wiseman max arrive and

6
00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:28,000
alexander gerst an international crew on

7
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:29,599
their way to the international space

8
00:00:40,069 --> 00:00:36,870
right now getting good first stage

9
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,079
performance the soyuz delivering 930 000

10
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,160
pounds of thrust that's four boosters

11
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,719
and single core engine first stage of

12
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:46,719
the soyuz measuring 68 feet in length

13
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:49,120
and 24 feet in diameter burning liquid

14
00:01:03,510 --> 00:00:50,719
fuel for the first two minutes and six

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:26,469
so

16
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,630
now just about one minute 10 seconds

17
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:30,960
into the flight of soyuz tma-13m

18
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:33,920
velocity of the vehicle at 1 100 miles

19
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:36,240
per hour

20
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:38,640
all indications uh good for the rocket

21
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:40,079
as it continues the first stage

22
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,710
next major event will be the jettison of

23
00:02:06,550 --> 00:01:56,640
the escape tower at the very top of the

24
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:10,309
and also be sure to watch for the

25
00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,760
boosters

26
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:13,599
to break off indicating the end of the

27
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,830
getting confirmation first stage

28
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:25,520
separation you can see the four strap-on

29
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:27,840
boosters now breaking away they have

30
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:29,599
been jettisoned completing their job and

31
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:31,920
they'll drop away at an altitude of 28

32
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:34,640
statute miles soyuz craft itself now

33
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:47,030
three crew members giving the thumbs up

34
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,200
inside the core stage performing as

35
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:51,519
expected that core engine of the soyuz

36
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,239
56 feet in length 13 and a half feet in

37
00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:56,319
diameter with a single engine and four

38
00:03:02,070 --> 00:02:59,360
fuel chambers providing between 178

39
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:02,080
thousand and 222 000 pounds of thrust

40
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:04,800
depending on the altitude it'll fire for

41
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:06,879
about the total of three minutes and 28

42
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:08,000
seconds

43
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,599
the stage is going to continue to burn

44
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,000
until about the four minute 43 second

45
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:14,560
mark soyuz uses what's called a hot

46
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,040
staging technique so the third stage

47
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:18,959
will ignite while the second stage is

48
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,040
still burning that's why the soyuz has

49
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:23,040
that small open area in between the

50
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:33,110
and you saw that a bit of a jolt for

51
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,440
them is that third stage cut-offs cuts

52
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:37,680
off and separates the single liquid

53
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:39,599
fueled engine shutting down and dropping

54
00:04:05,429 --> 00:03:42,640
away at an altitude of about 125 statute

55
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:40,710
oh

56
00:04:40,720 --> 00:05:00,870

but this is normal

133
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:53,839
this is just

134
00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:56,880
the kind of nervousness that is not fear

135
00:15:01,670 --> 00:14:58,880
but rather

136
00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:01,680

dan a thunderous start to expedition 40

148
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:20,799
and 41. uh your thoughts as you watched

149
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:23,039
the soyuz take flight today yeah rob's

150
00:19:26,150 --> 00:19:24,880
spectacular launch you could see it for

151
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:26,160
a long way

152
00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:27,600
four minutes into flight you could hear

153
00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:29,360
still hear the engines rumbling it's on

154
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,799
a high speed chase to catch up with the

155
00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:32,240
space station

156
00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:35,840
already been maneuvered into position

157
00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:37,919
for for docking and so we're well

158
00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:40,400
underway to get this expedition going

159
00:19:45,909 --> 00:19:42,960
once this crew arrives on board a

160
00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:45,919
challenging six months lies ahead uh how

161
00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:47,840
complex will this be and how critical is

162
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:49,600
this mission for the station program

163
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:51,200
critical rob we've got a lot of research

164
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,440
that we need to do that will be flying

165
00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:55,120
up some new and exciting research

166
00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:56,400
research that we haven't performed on

167
00:20:01,350 --> 00:19:58,720
the iss before we have several evas

168
00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:01,360
lined up uh in the august time period

169
00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:03,280
sandwiched with a couple of russian ebas

170
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:05,039
before that so the crew is going to be

171
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:07,600
very very busy uh we'll we'll pace them

172
00:20:10,789 --> 00:20:09,200
make sure they have uh

173
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:10,799
ample time to do the things they need

174
00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:12,400
but it's going to be an exciting mission

175
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,200
for them

176
00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:15,360
a couple of days ago this rocket was

177
00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:17,200
horizontal on a rail car headed for the

178
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:18,960
launch pad now it's headed for the space

179
00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:22,320
station how remarkable has this whole

180
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:24,799
experience been to watch this vehicle

181
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:26,320
come to life as you know we were there

182
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:28,640
for the road it's simply uh spectacular

183
00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:30,640
to watch the russians go through this

184
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:32,720
process of of bringing it out of the

185
00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:34,400
hangar rolling it on the rail cars

186
00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:35,840
bringing it upright

187
00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:37,360
preparing the rocket going through the

188
00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:38,640

00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:50,880
administrator for space flight

194
00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:52,720
operations bill um

195
00:20:57,430 --> 00:20:55,679
the soyuz on its way uh an amazing start

196
00:20:59,350 --> 00:20:57,440
to what will be a complicated mission

197
00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:59,360
what were your thoughts as it soared

198
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:00,720
through the night sky heading for the

199
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:03,760
station i mean just a another amazing

200
00:21:07,430 --> 00:21:05,760
launch and when i look at the rocket i

201
00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:07,440
just think of all the people that have

202
00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,120
come together around the world to make

203
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:11,039
this flight happen and i think of the

204
00:21:14,789 --> 00:21:13,280
trainers back in houston that have have

205
00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:14,799
trained the crews to get ready to go on

206
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:16,480
board the space station i think of all

207
00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:18,080
the workers here at baikonur that have

208
00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:20,799
prepared the spacecraft so it's just a

209
00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:23,360
tremendous feat when when i see all that

210
00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:25,200
teamwork all those people around the

211
00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:27,440
world coming together to actually put

212
00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:29,120
together this launch that we just got to

213
00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:31,120
witness here in baikonur another

214
00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:32,400
testimony to the strength of the

215
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:34,720
partnership how

216
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:36,720
how important is all of this as this

217
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:39,520
crew embarks on a complex expedition

218
00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:41,520
yeah again i look at this crew and i

219
00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:43,200
can't think of a better crew with

220
00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:45,760
alexander gerst from germany and

221
00:21:50,549 --> 00:21:48,480
and max from russia and uh reed from the

222
00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:50,559
u.s just what a what a tremendous crew

223
00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:53,679
this is i i see them bond together and

224
00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:55,919
and really work together as i don't see

225
00:21:59,430 --> 00:21:57,520
normal teams come together and they've

226
00:22:01,270 --> 00:21:59,440
done a really good job and they're just

227
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:01,280
an excellent model for all of us on the

228
00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:02,799
ground and all of us here in the control

229
00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:04,720
centers around the world so if we can

230
00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,120
mimic their spirit of cooperation and

231
00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:09,600
their teamwork it'll be just awesome so

232
00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:10,799
again i'm looking forward to a

233
00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:13,120
tremendous expedition what a great start

234
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:14,720
tonight i can hardly wait to see this

235
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,720
expedition get started and and we'll get

236
00:22:20,470 --> 00:22:18,080
maybe get to see a docking here in a

237
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,480
couple hours so it'll be great

238
00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:22,320
bill uh the launch comes on the fifth

239
00:22:27,350 --> 00:22:24,000
anniversary of the inauguration of a

240
00:22:28,630 --> 00:22:27,360
six-person crew on board the station uh

241
00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:28,640
how

242
00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:32,880
sustenance of the station with this kind

243
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:35,600
of continuous human presence

244
00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:38,400
yeah it kind of

245
00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:39,840
makes me think a little bit when we

246
00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:42,159
first launched the first six-person crew

247
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:43,760
you know mike suffordini and i talked

248
00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:46,000
about whether we could really do this

249
00:22:49,750 --> 00:22:47,919
and we weren't sure from a resupply

250
00:22:51,990 --> 00:22:49,760
standpoint would we have enough supplies

251
00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:52,000
and consumables and everything we needed

252
00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:53,440
for the crew to actually make it through

253
00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:55,520
the six-person increment and to think

254
00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:57,840
now here we are five years later is just

255
00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:00,240
a phenomenal again testimony to the team

256
00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:02,640
that that works so hard to make you know

257
00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:04,159
what little simple things but to make

258
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:05,600
sure the food is there we've got the

259
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:07,360
right things on the right cargo vehicles

260
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:09,120
is just a tremendous effort by all the

261
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:11,200
folks involved to keep the space station

262
00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:13,280
operating flying and doing world-class

263
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:20,230
you've seen many launches but they're

264
00:23:25,190 --> 00:23:22,720
always fantastic

265
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:25,200
the emotion is always the same or even

266
00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:26,080
maybe

267
00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:27,440
it's more and more

268
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:30,000
and especially that one was so beautiful

269
00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:31,760
i must say that we have seen the

270
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:33,360
launcher almost

271
00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:36,400
until the ignition of the surf stage and

272
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:39,039
that was a fantastic emotion and

273
00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:41,520
to have a colleague going up there i

274
00:23:44,149 --> 00:23:42,960
think that

275
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:44,159
it's always

276
00:23:47,830 --> 00:23:45,840
something fantastic

277
00:23:50,070 --> 00:23:47,840
for either it looks like a golden age

278
00:23:52,390 --> 00:23:50,080
we've got an astronaut which came back

279
00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:52,400
recently this one now and then another

280
00:23:57,029 --> 00:23:54,720
one we've got a lot of work to do over

281
00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:57,039
there yes now that

282
00:24:01,310 --> 00:23:59,039
that's right the the new class of

283
00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:01,320
astronaut which has been selected in

284
00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:02,880
2009

285
00:24:05,350 --> 00:24:04,400
all the six

286
00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:05,360
are now

287
00:24:11,269 --> 00:24:08,640
assigned to a flight which is uh not bad

288
00:24:13,909 --> 00:24:11,279
and we had already the the flight of

289
00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:13,919
luca and alexander is the second one but

290
00:24:19,350 --> 00:24:16,720
alexander is the first one on an isa

291
00:24:20,549 --> 00:24:19,360
flight because luca was flying on an asi

292
00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:20,559
flight so

293
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:22,960
we can say that alexander is the first

294
00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:25,520
one on anisa flight and

295
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:27,360
and the others will come when alexander

296
00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:30,480
will come back samantha will will go so

297
00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:32,400
meaning that it will be one year with a

298
00:24:35,430 --> 00:24:34,240
nice astronaut on board the space

299
00:24:38,149 --> 00:24:35,440
station and

300
00:24:39,590 --> 00:24:38,159
and that will continue until 20

301
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:39,600
2016.

302
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:41,840
and this international cooperation

303
00:24:46,630 --> 00:24:43,600
really works well

304
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:46,640
oh yes no but that

305
00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:48,080
the space station is a fantastic

306
00:24:52,070 --> 00:24:51,039
laboratory for research and for progress

307
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:52,080
uh

308
00:24:55,909 --> 00:24:53,760
for the scientists but it's also a

309
00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:55,919
fantastic laboratory for international

310
00:25:00,470 --> 00:24:58,720
cooperation i must say that to have the

311
00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:00,480
six persons

312
00:25:05,029 --> 00:25:02,720
working and living safely on board there

313
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:05,039
are six thousand persons working on

314
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:06,640
planet earth on three different

315
00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:09,760
continents and they better cooperate

316
00:25:14,950 --> 00:25:12,000
because if they don't cooperate i think

317
00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:14,960
that the six persons on board are at

318
00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:16,640
risk so

319
00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:17,600
it's a

320
00:25:21,190 --> 00:25:20,000
fantastic laboratory for cooperation and

321
00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:21,200
i think that

322
00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:23,200
it's a model of cooperation which should

323
00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:29,269
professor verner you're the chairman of

324
00:25:36,070 --> 00:25:33,600
glr for you it's a good great day

325
00:25:37,990 --> 00:25:36,080
for me it's a very special day you see i

326
00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:38,000
entered into this business some seven

327
00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:40,320
years ago i'm a civil engineer so i came

328
00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:43,600
just from outside and in 2009

329
00:25:49,510 --> 00:25:46,880
alex alexander gerst was selected and

330
00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:49,520
from the very first day i knew him and

331
00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:52,640
today he is now on the way to iss and i

332
00:25:57,269 --> 00:25:54,480
can tell you that this is really very

333
00:25:59,669 --> 00:25:57,279
much moving my heart because i feel some

334
00:26:02,549 --> 00:25:59,679
responsibility for him we are from dlr

335
00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:02,559
we are not either but we are part of isa

336
00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:03,679
and i am the head of the german

337
00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:06,240
delegation to either so i was part of

338
00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:09,440
the overall action to send him to space

339
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:12,000
and also as a german space agency we are

340
00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:13,600
supporting this mission with some

341
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:15,600
experiments so i feel a little bit

342
00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:18,320
responsible also i'm not really a rocket

343
00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:20,480
engineer but you can you can really

344
00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:22,559
believe me i'm i'm feeling very much in

345
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:24,880
my heart and i'm with him in this very

346
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:26,400
tiny capsule

347
00:26:29,990 --> 00:26:28,640
and your personal feeling of this nice

348
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:30,000
show

349
00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:34,960
here we are very close to the launcher

350
00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:37,279
you can not only see it you can feel it

351
00:26:42,549 --> 00:26:39,440
you can hear it your whole body is

352
00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:42,559
moving by the sound and also by the the

353
00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:45,360
color you can see and we were very lucky

354
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:46,880
that we had very good weather so we

355
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:49,840
could follow the launch for a long time

356
00:26:53,909 --> 00:26:52,480
so it was really impressing and

357
00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:53,919
i'm just

358
00:26:58,950 --> 00:26:56,320
deeply impressed and the utilization of

359
00:27:01,750 --> 00:26:58,960
the international space station we will

360
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:01,760
continue and with this these experiments

361
00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:04,000
you were mentioning it's important yes

362
00:27:08,789 --> 00:27:06,559
and if you look into what you saw today

363
00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:08,799
so an american

364
00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:11,120
russian and the european of german

365
00:27:15,430 --> 00:27:13,440
nationality to together

366
00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:15,440
when they were greeting us when they

367
00:27:18,630 --> 00:27:16,480
said

368
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:18,640
we know we are entering

369
00:27:23,590 --> 00:27:20,880
this is what i would like to see in the

370
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:23,600
future for also for the actions on earth

371
00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:24,960
so that we are

372
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:28,159
working together beyond national borders

373
00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:30,559
and in space we are doing it already and

374
00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:33,200
so i hope that the utilization of the

375
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:35,600
space station will also bring back what

376
00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:37,760
we think what it is worse

377
00:27:42,549 --> 00:27:40,159
that means a lot of real experiments
