00:00:15,120 five four 5 00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:16,960 three two 6 00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:19,680 engine start one 7 00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:22,320 and liftoff of delta ii 8 00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:25,039 and noaa's joint polar satellite system 9 00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:26,000 one 10 00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:28,840 making the u.s a more weather-ready 11 00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:31,199 nation the delta ii is proceeding on a 12 00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:34,000 flight azimuth of 196 degrees just to 13 00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:36,559 the west of 180 degrees south looking 14 00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:38,559 good also seeing a good symmetric burn 15 00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:40,800 across all six ground solids 16 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:42,719 we're listening to the voice of patrick 17 00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,920 moore ula flight commentator 18 00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:47,920 33 seconds into flight the delta ii 19 00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,239 rocket will reach mach 1 breaking news 20 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:52,239 30 seconds chamber pressure on main 21 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:53,760 engine and veneer engines continue to 22 00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,800 look good 23 00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:56,480 now passing mach 1 delta 2 is now 24 00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:58,000 supersonic 25 00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:00,160 at 49 seconds delta ii 26 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:02,079 very symmetric burn across all six 27 00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:05,680 maximum dynamic pressure or max q 28 00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:07,040 this is the point where the mechanical 29 00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:09,439 stress in the rocket has 48 seconds max 30 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:15,670 the six ground lit solid rocket motors 31 00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,920 will burn out about 64 seconds into 32 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,119 flight 33 00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:23,429 the three airlet motors will ignite a 34 00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:25,200 second and a half later 35 00:01:32,469 --> 00:01:27,680 and we have burnout 36 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:34,710 approaching the jettison of the delta ii 37 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:37,280 graphite epoxy solid rocket motors in 38 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:39,280 three sequences of three 39 00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,560 the first three will fall away one 40 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:42,720 minute 26 seconds into flight followed a 41 00:01:48,389 --> 00:01:45,040 second later by the next three now one 42 00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,399 minute 25 seconds into flight 43 00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:50,240 and we have good jettison of all six 44 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:56,149 the final three air lid motors will 45 00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,520 continue to burn until they are 46 00:02:02,709 --> 00:01:59,680 jettisoned two minutes 11 seconds into 47 00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:04,709 chamber pressure on the main engine both 48 00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:06,560 veneer engines continuing to remain very 49 00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:08,160 stable 50 00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:09,840 gas generator fuel unlocks injector 51 00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,150 and we're standing by for the jettison 52 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,480 of the final three solid rocket motors 53 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:24,160 chamber pressures on the air lit solids 54 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,750 and we have burnout of the air-lit 55 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:33,120 solids 56 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:34,800 and good jettison of all three air-lit 57 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:43,350 and the booster locks tank press valve 58 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:44,720 has been opened lock's tanklet's 59 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:50,470 two minutes 30 seconds into the flight 60 00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:59,110 and main engine and veneer engine 61 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:00,480 chamber pressures continue to remain 62 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:06,309 once again listening to patrick moore 63 00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,599 united launch alliance flight 64 00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:09,360 commentator 65 00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,280 now two minutes 50 seconds into flight 66 00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:13,680 now passing mach 10. 67 00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:15,920 the next major milestone is main engine 68 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,599 cutoff or miko the first stage rs 27a 69 00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:22,400 main engine will be into flight 70 00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:24,319 engine operating parameters on main 71 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:26,080 engine and both veneer engines continue 72 00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,239 to look good 73 00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:30,159 miko's scheduled for four minutes 20 74 00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,350 that will be followed 75 00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:41,599 and it's 20 seconds into flight just one 76 00:03:44,830 --> 00:03:43,120 minute remaining now until main engine 77 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:44,840 cut 78 00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:47,440 off vehicle body rates have smoothed out 79 00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:49,120 nicely now as the vehicle continues to 80 00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,830 nine seconds after miko will have 81 00:04:02,229 --> 00:03:59,519 separation of the first and second 82 00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:02,239 stages of the delta 83 00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:04,159 main engine chamber pressure looks good 84 00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:05,599 both veneer engine chamber pressures 85 00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:07,439 continue to look good gas generator fuel 86 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:09,040 unlocks injector pressures remain very 87 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:10,239 stable 88 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:11,920 vehicle body rates also looking very 89 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,749 now at four minutes into flight about 20 90 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:23,520 seconds remaining until main engine cut 91 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:24,240 off 92 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:27,600 engines will continue to burn for a few 93 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:29,280 additional seconds to maintain attitude 94 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:30,639 control 95 00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:33,680 leading up to stage separation 96 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:35,199 standing by for main engine cut off 97 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,150 and we have miko main engine cutoff 98 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,390 and vco veneer engine cut off 99 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,909 and we have good indication of stage 100 00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:51,520 separation standing by for stage two 101 00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:53,520 ignition 102 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:55,360 the first and second stage the delta 2 103 00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,199 has separated 104 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,680 age chamber pressure looks good
