commander sergey rizhikov through 237 00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:46,560 an interpreter calling out 238 00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:48,800 the duration of the burn and tank 239 00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:52,000 pressures uh and the uh delta v or the 240 00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:55,279 change in velocity as the burn continues 241 00:10:58,829 --> 00:10:57,680 for the duration of its four minutes and 242 00:11:00,550 --> 00:10:58,839 39 243 00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:00,560 seconds 244 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,640 once the burn is completed the upper 245 00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:04,720 most section of the three section soyuz 246 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:06,880 spacecraft the orbital module will be 247 00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:10,000 depressurized about 10 seconds after the 248 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,079 completion of the burn that will set the 249 00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:14,880 stage for its pyrotechnic separation 250 00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:17,680 from the rest of the soyuz vehicle 251 00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:18,959 once 252 00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:20,800 we have completed the burn about 28 253 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:23,200 minutes after the deorbit burn prior to 254 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:25,680 the entrance of the descent module with 255 00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:27,200 the three crew members back into the 256 00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:29,279 earth's atmosphere 257 00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:31,279 once the soyuz has moved to a distance 258 00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:33,839 of about 120 kilometers away from the 259 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:36,079 international space station we are 260 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:39,360 expecting vhf voice communications to 261 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:42,480 become ratty and perhaps unavailable 262 00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:44,640 because of the distance involved in the 263 00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:47,040 geometry between the antennas on the 264 00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:48,880 soyuz spacecraft and the international 265 00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:50,800 space station 266 00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:53,040 it will be 267 00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:55,360 sometimes we get lucky and the 268 00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:57,440 communications hang in there sometimes 269 00:12:02,870 --> 00:11:59,600 not so much so we'll see what happens 270 00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:02,880 this evening but once the soyuz uh moves 271 00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:05,279 toward the vicinity of the landing site 272 00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:08,160 there is a russian antonov 273 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:12,079 26 space fixed-wing aircraft that 274 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:15,120 operates as a flying command and control 275 00:12:18,790 --> 00:12:16,079 center 276 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:18,800 through which uh voice and data will be 277 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,800 relayed back to russian flight 278 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,560 controllers at the russian mission 279 00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:25,040 control center outside of moscow 280 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:26,800 so we'll be standing by to see whether 281 00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,000 or not 282 00:12:32,389 --> 00:12:30,079 we hang in there with communications all 283 00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:32,399 the way down or lose communications 284 00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:34,639 don't be surprised if we go 285 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,560 with a loss of signal for a period of 286 00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:38,880 time and then reacquire communications 287 00:12:54,310 --> 00:12:41,360 with the soyuz as it approaches the 288 00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:55,990 as we've mentioned in our earlier 289 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,920 broadcast

descent module with the three 819 00:59:39,349 --> 00:59:36,319 crew members strapped in their seats in 820 00:59:41,349 --> 00:59:39,359 their circle launch and entry suits 821 00:59:43,349 --> 00:59:41,359 are barreling toward the landing site 822 00:59:46,069 --> 00:59:43,359 southeast of jezkasgan 823 00:59:48,470 --> 00:59:46,079 the next major event some three minutes 824 00:59:50,710 --> 00:59:48,480 from now when the vehicle enters the 825 00:59:55,829 --> 00:59:50,720 earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 100 826 01:00:01,510 --> 00:59:58,549 once the soyuz approaches the landing 827 01:00:02,630 --> 01:00:01,520 site some 15 minutes before touchdown 828 01:00:05,750 --> 01:00:02,640 there is a 829 01:00:07,910 --> 01:00:05,760 intricate parachute deployment sequence 830 01:00:09,510 --> 01:00:07,920 that is triggered by a barometric 831 01:00:11,910 --> 01:00:09,520 pressure sensor 832 01:00:13,430 --> 01:00:11,920 when the vehicle is about 41 000 feet 833 01:00:15,670 --> 01:00:13,440 above the ground 834 01:00:18,069 --> 01:00:15,680 at that point the main parachute covers 835 01:00:19,510 --> 01:00:18,079 first jettison by pyrotechnic devices 836 01:00:21,990 --> 01:00:19,520 and springs 837 01:00:22,950 --> 01:00:22,000 this will pull out a pair of extraction 838 01:00:25,109 --> 01:00:22,960 chutes 839 01:00:26,630 --> 01:00:25,119 which in turns pull which in turn pulls 840 01:00:28,549 --> 01:00:26,640 out the drogue chute 841 01:00:31,190 --> 01:00:28,559 which in turn pulls out the main 842 01:00:32,870 --> 01:00:31,200 parachute
