1 00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:06,070 once uh cygnus uh was uh grappled 2 00:00:10,709 --> 00:00:07,600 and a hard 3 00:00:13,669 --> 00:00:10,719 handshake was made between the station's 4 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,679 robotic arm and the cargo craft itself 5 00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:15,360 the robotics officer here in mission 6 00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:17,760 control took over and began to maneuver 7 00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:19,199 cygnus into what is called the 8 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:20,960 pre-install position 9 00:00:25,509 --> 00:00:23,279 again this video captured a short time 10 00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:25,519 ago shows of the cygnus with its 11 00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:29,039 signature ultraflex solar arrays being 12 00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:31,840 placed into the correct orientation uh 13 00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:35,280 toward the earth-facing side of unity 14 00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:38,000 and the common birthing mechanism 15 00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:40,800 to which the cygnus spacecraft will be 16 00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,280 latched up to a short time from now 17 00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:45,840 everything has proceeded on track for 18 00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,960 the pre-install activities again 19 00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,160 this 20 00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:52,480 at the current time the robotics officer 21 00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,879 is carefully monitoring the orientation 22 00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:57,120 and the alignment of the 23 00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,280 common birthing mechanism the passive 24 00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:01,600 common birthing mechanism on the forward 25 00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,400 side of uh cygnus with the active common 26 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,479 birthing mechanism on the earth-facing 27 00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:08,400 side of the unity module to make sure we 28 00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,560 have a precise alignment before he 29 00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:12,799 guides it in for the so-called 30 00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:15,280 pre-install and ready-to-latch position 31 00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:18,080 that will mark uh the precursor to the 32 00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:20,240 actual bolting of cygnus to the 33 00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:30,469 station now uh beginning to move into an 34 00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:33,040 orbital sunrise and once we uh lock up 35 00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:34,799 voice communication with the crew which 36 00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:36,960 should be momentarily we should be 37 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,159 seeing uh 38 00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:41,280 activity uh resume uh with the robotics 39 00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:44,399 officer uh nudging the cygnus cargo 40 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:46,320 craft ever so close to its ready to 41 00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:48,960 latch position on the earth-facing side 42 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:51,759 of the unity module of the international 43 00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,910 there's a good close-up view of the 44 00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:01,680 cygnus 45 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:04,399 ever so slowly being aligned and moved 46 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,119 towards that open hatch which is 47 00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:09,599 actually the common berthing mechanism 48 00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,039 uh the 49 00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:13,760 common berthing mechanism uh will uh 50 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:17,040 receive uh the passive side 51 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,160 of uh the cygnus cargo craft uh to 52 00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:23,360 permit uh the start of bolting 53 00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:26,239 again there are 16 bolts four gangs of 54 00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:27,840 four bolts a piece 55 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:28,720 that 56 00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:36,150 the robotic arm continues to press in 57 00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:37,840 ever so slowly 58 00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:39,920 to what uh ultimately will be the ready 59 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,080 to latch position for cygnus on the 60 00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:44,239 earth-facing port of the unity module of 61 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:46,400 the international space station we 62 00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:47,840 should be there 63 00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:55,670 station houston on two ssrms mode to 64 00:03:02,309 --> 00:02:57,920 limp is complete go for second stage 65 00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,869 and we're standing by uh for the final 66 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:09,589 point of uh the mating of cygnus to the 67 00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:11,840 international space station standing by 68 00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:19,589 first step seven uh auto safing is 69 00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:20,800 inhibited 70 00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:23,920 gopher ssr ms brakes um you can 71 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:26,879 ungrapple the element for timely 72 00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:29,360 copy that good news thanks jeff 73 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:31,599 the exercise constraint can now be 74 00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,640 lifted 75 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:34,640 and we'll put the safing in work for 76 00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:38,159 your next procedure regarding cbcs 77 00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:40,239 and the good news uh relayed up to jeff 78 00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:42,080 williams 79 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:46,400 9 52
