it's coming up nicely. 00:23:25.801.00:23:29.167 -And this is Hubble Telescope Control in Greenbelt. 00:23:29.167.00:23:31.534 We have been given the go-ahead 00:23:31.534.00:23:35.667 to begin commanding release of the forward latches, 00:23:35.667.00:23:38.968 which hold the solar arrays in place during launch 00:23:38.968.00:23:41.801 along the side of the telescope. 00:23:41.801.00:23:44.667 The forward latches are on both sides. 00:23:44.667.00:23:47.000 The port and starboard side of the telescope 00:23:47.000.00:23:51.267 are released simultaneously. 00:24:07.567.00:24:10.033 -Discovery, no need to acknowledge. 00:24:10.033.00:24:12.067 The forward latches are in motion. 00:24:16.267.00:24:17.968 -Roger, Houston, we copy. 00:24:23.300.00:24:25.400 -Discovery, we'll take this attitude right here. 00:24:25.400.00:24:31.167 We'd like you to go free drift for PDM deploy. 00:24:31.167.00:24:32.901 -Roger, free drift. 00:24:36.033.00:24:37.934 -This is Hubble Telescope Control, 00:24:37.934.00:24:41.934 Greenbelt, 1 day, 1 hour, 54 minutes. mission-elapse time. 00:24:41.934.00:24:43.767 continuing to receive television 00:24:43.767.00:24:48.667 through the Vandenberg Tracking Station, 00:24:48.667.00:24:52.634 and it is clearly showing the deployment 00:24:52.634.00:24:56.434 of the solar-array mass 00:24:56.434.00:25:01.901 with the solar-array package in stowed position. 00:25:01.901.00:25:07.067 The arrays are wound much like a pair of window shades 00:25:07.067.00:25:14.734 around a roller and kept in that configuration for launch, 00:25:14.734.00:25:20.334 and once the primary deployment activity has been completed, 00:25:20.334.00:25:25.133 the crew tweaks the attitude 00:25:25.133.00:25:28.534 and replaces the vehicle in free drift. 00:25:28.534.00:25:32.534 The operations team here will begin commanding 00:25:32.534.00:25:36.000 the solar-array blankets to unfurl. 00:25:48.601.00:25:52.100 -Discovery, in order to preserve an orbit-20 release, 00:25:52.100.00:25:54.267 I'd like you to get into EVA prep. 00:25:59.234.00:26:03.901 -Okay, we're proceeding with that. 00:26:03.901.00:26:06.400 -Thank you. 00:26:12.868.00:26:15.701 -So, we see both high gains moving. 00:26:17.801.00:26:19.434 -Thank you, Loren. 00:26:23.334.00:26:26.601 -And that's Commander Loren Shriver, 00:26:26.601.00:26:29.300 just confirmed what our data screens 00:26:29.300.00:26:31.133 are showing here in the control center, 00:26:31.133.00:26:33.901 that the motors are in operation, 00:26:33.901.00:26:36.300 and the two high-gain antenna masts 00:26:36.300.00:26:38.567 are in the process of swinging 90 degrees 00:26:38.567.00:26:40.334 to the perpendicular position. 00:26:49.400.00:26:53.634 -Discovery, go free drift for Plus SDM deploy. 00:26:56.300.00:26:58.801 -We have free drift starting, 00:27:01.968.00:27:04.400 and we see first motion -- looks good. 00:27:15.767.00:27:20.033 -And as the crew just confirmed, we're seeing both blankets 00:27:20.033.00:27:24.767 beginning to unfurl on the port side solar array. 00:27:28.400.00:27:32.133 -So far, we see good, smooth motion, both sides. 00:27:34.267.00:27:37.968 -And we got TV down here, Loren. 00:27:37.968.00:27:39.734 -Roger that. 00:27:54.934.00:28:00.701 -The solar arrays are driven out of their cassettes by bi-stems, 00:28:00.701.00:28:04.367 which are at each side of the array. 00:28:04.367.00:28:09.834 The bi-stem is visible in the television 00:28:09.834.00:28:11.868 being downlinked from the spacecraft at this time. 00:28:11.868.00:28:15.834 It's attached at the end of the array to the spreader bar, 00:28:15.834.00:28:19.267 and the spreader bar is, in turn, attached to the array, 00:28:19.267.00:28:24.334 which literally pulls the array out of the cassette, 00:28:24.334.00:28:27.467 which held it packaged during the launch. 00:28:40.234.00:28:45.267 -And as you can see, we've got three panels out. 00:28:47.367.00:28:49.234 -Thanks, Loren. 00:28:52.901.00:28:55.968 -When fully deployed, both of the arrays together 00:28:55.968.00:28:58.234 produce about 6,000 volts, 00:28:58.234.00:29:02.767 about half of which is required to operate telescope systems, 00:29:02.767.00:29:05.734 and during the daylight side of the path, the other half, 00:29:05.734.00:29:10.534 is used to recharge the six nickel-hydrogen batteries. 00:29:16.267.00:29:18.234 Ship supervisor Pete Peterro 00:29:18.234.00:29:23.000 just checking with his control team, 00:29:23.000.00:29:25.968 receiving a report that, from the ground, 00:29:25.968.00:29:28.400 as confirmed by the crew from orbit, 00:29:28.400.00:29:32.667 the deploy activity, so far, is going very smoothly. 00:29:32.667.00:29:36.267 We see no indications of any problems at this time. 00:29:40.834.00:29:43.000 -Discovery, you can go autovern. 00:29:43.000.00:29:46.901 We're setting up for the other array. 00:29:46.901.00:29:49.400 -Okay, we'll go autovern. 00:29:49.400.00:29:50.934 -It's affirm. 00:29:53.300.00:29:54.968 Discovery, Houston. 00:29:57.734.00:29:59.567 -Go ahead. 00:29:59.567.00:30:02.834 -We're looking more and more like an orbit-20 release. 00:30:02.834.00:30:05.501 We'd like you to press on with the EVA prep. 00:30:10.467.00:30:12.000 -Okay, we copy. 00:30:12.000.00:30:14.033 -We'll press on with that. 00:30:25.000.00:30:28.100 -Discovery, your aperture door latch is open. 00:30:32.133.00:30:33.901 -Copy that.

Heeeey !!musiC@! 00:38:46.834.00:38:48.901 -Good morning, Discovery. 00:38:48.901.00:38:51.400 I guess you're awake after that song. 00:38:51.400.00:38:53.133 There are a lot of happy people down here. 00:38:53.133.00:38:54.901 We saw a great deploy yesterday, 00:38:54.901.00:38:59.100 and Hubble had a good night while you were asleep. 00:38:59.100.00:39:01.734 -Tell them they better find that guy and sign him up for max "Q" 00:39:01.734.00:39:03.434 that did the wake-up music. 00:39:08.033.00:39:09.334 -And we're here this morning 00:39:09.334.00:39:14.033 to perform Student Experiment 82-16 for Greg Peterson. 00:39:14.033.00:39:16.968 This is an experiment designed to investigate 00:39:16.968.00:39:19.601 what effects gravity-driven buoyancy 00:39:19.601.00:39:22.367 may have on the behavior of an electrical arc 00:39:22.367.00:39:24.334 as you observe it on the ground in 1 "G," 00:39:24.334.00:39:27.467 say, during a Jacob's Ladder experiment in high school, 00:39:27.467.00:39:29.133 and that is exactly, in fact, 00:39:29.133.00:39:32.767 the kind of experiment that first gave this idea to Greg. 00:39:34.901.00:39:37.701 What you see on your right here, taped to the forward lockers 00:39:37.701.00:39:39.434 is the arc chamber itself 00:39:39.434.00:39:42.501 and the Aeroflex camera is set up to look into the arc. 00:39:42.501.00:39:43.834 There are mirrors behind the arc 00:39:43.834.00:39:46.534 so that you get in fact three different views of it. 00:39:46.534.00:39:48.067 The first thing we're going to do here 00:39:48.067.00:39:50.300 is photograph the arc behavior 00:39:50.300.00:39:53.133 in the ambient magnetic fields of the Orbiter, 00:39:53.133.00:39:55.968 and we in fact will look at three different orientations. 00:39:55.968.00:39:59.267 The path of the arc as the experiment is currently placed 00:39:59.267.00:40:01.534 goes parallel to the Orbiter's "Y" axis 00:40:01.534.00:40:02.868 through the wings. 00:40:02.868.00:40:06.133 We will then rotate the box and camera 90 degrees 00:40:06.133.00:40:09.734 to look at the Orbiter's "Z" axis, vertical like this, 00:40:09.734.00:40:12.934 and then, again, we will rotate it 90 degrees 00:40:12.934.00:40:14.701 and tape it on the overhead panel 00:40:14.701.00:40:18.434 so that we can look at the ambient magnetic field 00:40:18.434.00:40:20.701 parallel to the vehicle's "Z" axis. 00:40:23.501.00:40:24.868 -We'll show you this a little bit. 00:40:24.868.00:40:29.667 We have actually, as you can tell, turned the power on, 00:40:29.667.00:40:32.501 and we have actually applied a magnetic field, 00:40:32.501.00:40:34.601 so we're stepping through the field. 00:40:34.601.00:40:38.434 The reason we think you see a very finely defined arc 00:40:38.434.00:40:41.901 on your right is because that's the tip of a nail. 00:40:41.901.00:40:47.133 The other part of the arc system 00:40:47.133.00:40:49.434 is actually the round head of the nail, 00:40:49.434.00:40:51.634 and we think that the arc is just -- 00:40:51.634.00:40:54.067 or the charge is just kind of jumping around 00:40:54.067.00:40:55.734 from place to place on the head of the nail, 00:40:55.734.00:40:57.400 and that's what allows it to go that way. 00:40:57.400.00:40:58.767 So, you guys can get Greg to come in, 00:40:58.767.00:41:01.834 he can probably tell you whether we're right or wrong. 00:41:01.834.00:41:04.901 But we did notice that the behavior of the arc 00:41:04.901.00:41:07.000 became more and more erratic, 00:41:07.000.00:41:13.334 and it's amplitude increased as the field went up, 00:41:13.334.00:41:16.133 and just as they had told us pre-flight, 00:41:16.133.00:41:18.701 once you put a charge into the system, 00:41:18.701.00:41:19.834 it never comes out of there. 00:41:19.834.00:41:22.133 So, even when we go back to no field at all, 00:41:22.133.00:41:26.367 we still have the erratic behavior on the arc. 00:41:26.367.00:41:28.868 -Okay, thank you, Charlie. 00:41:31.767.00:41:35.234 That's Hubble we're looking at, huh? 00:41:35.234.00:41:36.767 -Yes, sir. 00:41:36.767.00:41:39.801 -And through the gyro-stabilized binoculars, 00:41:39.801.00:41:42.100 I convinced myself that I could still make out 00:41:42.100.00:41:45.634 the orientation of the solar arrays. 00:41:45.634.00:41:48.934 -Fantastic. 00:41:48.934.00:41:52.434 !!musiC@!!!musiC@! 00:41:52.434.00:41:55.167 -!!musiC@!
