1 00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,589 one minute to launch now soyuz is on 2 00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:15,200 internal power 3 00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:38,069 35 seconds now the first umbilical tower 4 00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:47,190 crown umbilical to the third stage has 5 00:01:04,950 --> 00:00:59,110 12 seconds the launch command has been 6 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:05,830 five 7 00:01:07,510 --> 00:01:06,640 four 8 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:07,520 three 9 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:08,400 two 10 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,950 and liftoff 11 00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:19,350 butch wilmore alexander simakutiyap and 12 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:21,759 elena sorova now making their way to the 13 00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,350 soyuz is delivering 900 or 930 000 14 00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:49,520 pounds of thrust from its four boosters 15 00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:51,600 and single engine the first stage of the 16 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:54,159 soyuz measures 68 feet in length and 24 17 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,680 feet in diameter 18 00:02:03,670 --> 00:01:57,600 burning liquid fuel for the first two 19 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,149 view of it here in the night skies 20 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:08,800 above baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan 21 00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:11,440 as it makes its way now one minute into 22 00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:22,309 one minute ten seconds velocity at this 23 00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:24,560 point is one thousand and one hundred 24 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:40,550 everything nominal so far 25 00:02:40,560 --> 00:03:03,030 oh 26 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:04,790 one minute and 54 seconds now on to 27 00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:08,159 launch everything going well 28 00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:10,879 and uh hey the escape tower has been 29 00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:16,630 at this point the four strap on boosters 30 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:17,920 have been jettisoned these have 31 00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,159 completed their job and dropped away at 32 00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:22,800 an altitude of 28 statute miles 33 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:26,480 soyuz now traveling about 3 350 miles an 34 00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:43,350 back with in cabin views of the crew 35 00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:45,920 inside the soyuz as it makes its way now 36 00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,560 two and a half minutes into flight 37 00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:51,120 still seeing alexander samokutyaev on 38 00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,159 the 39 00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,640 bottom left-hand side and elena sorova 40 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,879 on the top right 41 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:58,879 which will more out of 42 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:01,120 out of view here but uh sitting next to 43 00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:02,959 semakutiya 44 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:04,000 now at 45 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,720 two minutes and 55 seconds into launch 46 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:08,159 at this point the launch shroud has been 47 00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:10,000 jettisoned and the rocket altitude is 48 00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:20,069 all continuing to go well three minutes 49 00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:22,000 and 10 seconds into the fight soyuz is 50 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:24,320 traveling at a speed of about 4 700 51 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:30,230 soyuz core stage is performing as 52 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:31,360 expected 53 00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:34,160 it's 56 feet in length 13 and a half 54 00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:36,240 feet in diameter with a single engine 55 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:38,240 with four fuel chambers providing 56 00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:40,400 between 178 57 00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:41,120 and 58 00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:44,400 one pounds of thrust for its three 59 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:45,759 minutes and twenty eight seconds of 60 00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:48,240 operation 61 00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:49,680 stage will continue to burn until the 62 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,080 four minute 43 second mark 63 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:54,320 soyuz uses what's called a hot stage 64 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,800 technique third stage will ignite while 65 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:58,560 the second is still burning 66 00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:00,960 this is why the soyuz has an open area 67 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:03,600 between the second and third stages 68 00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,560 and they are finally a view of 69 00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:08,880 butch wilmore inside the soyuz and again 70 00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:10,960 the toy rabbit that's going to indicate 71 00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:13,039 when the crew has made it 72 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,510 everything continuing to operate 73 00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:23,520 nominally as the 74 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:24,560 soyuz 75 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:30,550 4 minutes and 20 seconds now into its 76 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:57,670 foreign 77 00:06:02,710 --> 00:05:59,830 four minutes now and 48 seconds into 78 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:02,720 flight core booster is separating at an 79 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:10,870 so he's now being propelled by the 80 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:13,280 single engine the soyuz third stage this 81 00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:15,840 engine is providing 67 000 pounds of 82 00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:17,680 thrust and will burn for four minutes in 83 00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,309 five and a half minutes into the flight 84 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:48,560 now everything continuing to perform as 85 00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:49,680 expected 86 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,080 as soyuz 87 00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:54,400 makes its way 88 00:07:15,029 --> 00:06:56,960 into space and on path for the 89 00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:42,390 foreign 90 00:07:46,869 --> 00:07:44,629 team on the ground continuing to perform 91 00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:46,879 to report that every uh 92 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:48,720 thing working as expected all systems 93 00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:51,280 performing nominally at this point 94 00:08:04,469 --> 00:07:55,120 six minutes and uh 45 seconds now into 95 00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:06,790 alexander sama kutia commander for the 96 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:39,829 thank 97 00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:41,670 seven and a half minutes into today's 98 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:42,640 flight 99 00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,080 so he's now traveling at about 13 500 100 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,160 miles an hour 101 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,000 once the third stage delivers the soyuz 102 00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:52,560 to orbit and the module is separated a 103 00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:54,160 series of pre-programmed commands will 104 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:56,000 be executed to prepare the soyuz for 105 00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:58,000 orbital operations 106 00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,080 these stored commands called 107 00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:02,480 time tagged commands allow many of the 108 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:04,160 soyuz systems to be automatically 109 00:09:06,829 --> 00:09:05,760 activated on board 110 00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:06,839 computers 111 00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:09,519 as at precise times stored in those 112 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:59,910 okay 113 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:08,710 is 114 00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:10,389 nine minutes now until launch and the 115 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,440 third 116 00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:13,600 stage of the soyuz has 117 00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:16,000 separated the single liquid fueled 118 00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:17,920 engine shut down and dropped away at an 119 00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:21,120 altitude of about 125 statute miles 120 00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:23,200 third stage is performing 121 00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:25,760 a maneuver that will open a valve and 122 00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:33,110 team here on the ground reporting that 123 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:35,440 third stage separation 124 00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:37,120 that looked like a good ride we got to 125 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:39,360 see about the first uh 30 seconds and 126 00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:42,320 then lost the uh soyuz behind the dragon 127 00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:44,240 but we are happy to be watching nasa tv 128 00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:46,000 and see these guys safely in orbit and 129 00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:53,990 houston copy sounds good to us 130 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:55,670 team on board the international space 131 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:57,839 station reported they got to watch the 132 00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,959 launch 133 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:00,480 as i was saying the 134 00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:02,880 third stage cut off and separated as 135 00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:05,279 planned and the crew 136 00:11:10,710 --> 00:11:08,880 and its capsule are now safely in orbit 137 00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:10,720 spacecraft is automatically executing 138 00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:12,640 its pre-programmed commands to deploy 139 00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:32,870 soyuz is orbiting at an altitude of 140 00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:36,880 about 143 miles by 118 miles that orbit 141 00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:38,320 will be raised systematically over the 142 00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:40,240 course of the next six hours placing it 143 00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:42,079 in close proximity to the international 144 00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:46,870 control of the spacecraft from here on 145 00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:48,640 will be overseen by the russian mission 146 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:18,949 foreign 147 00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:20,710 still getting a good view here of the 148 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:23,760 crew inside the soyuz now as i mentioned 149 00:12:29,670 --> 00:12:26,399 already to space and 150 00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:29,680 getting ready to move into rendezvous 151 00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:31,600 preparations as they begin making with 152 00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:32,800 their way towards the international 153 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:57,269 foreign 154 00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:11,269 is 155 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:29,350 foreign 156 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:43,430 that's your mind 157 00:13:43,440 --> 00:14:42,829 foreign 158 00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:45,430 right view here of the 159 00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:48,240 soyuz to limit your displays as the crew 160 00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:50,240 again getting to work now that they have 161 00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:53,839 made it onto orbit safely and are 162 00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:56,160 getting ready to move on to uh 163 00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:58,720 the activities that will put them
