4
00:00:33.133 --> 00:00:36.267
-Good afternoon from the Kennedy
Space Center in Florida.

5
00:00:36.267 --> 00:00:40.133
This is Space Shuttle
Discovery's launch control.

6
00:00:40.133 --> 00:00:42.267
The countdown for launch
of the Space Shuttle Discovery

7
00:00:42.267 --> 00:00:46.801
on STS-103 is continuing
on schedule this afternoon.

8
00:00:46.801 --> 00:00:51.767
Launch is scheduled to occur
at 7:50 p.m. Eastern Time,

9
00:00:51.767 --> 00:00:55.167
and the launch-opportunity
window extends for 42 minutes.

10
00:00:55.167 --> 00:00:59.868
The window closes at 8:32 p.m.

11
00:00:59.868 --> 00:01:01.868
In order for us to make
a launch attempt today,

12
00:01:01.868 --> 00:01:04.901
mission managers conceded
2 days of the plan's

13
00:01:04.901 --> 00:01:08.000
10-day mission of STS-103.

14
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.534
The last of the four
EVAs scheduled for this mission

15
00:01:10.534 --> 00:01:12.567
has been eliminated,

16
00:01:12.567 --> 00:01:15.000
and the crew off-duty day
has also been eliminated

17
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.167
since the mission will now
only be 8 days long.

18
00:01:18.167 --> 00:01:20.100
That puts a landing scheduled
for Kennedy Space

19
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:23.868
Center on December
27th at about 5:24 p.m.

20
00:01:23.868 --> 00:01:26.033
Eastern Time.

21
00:01:26.033 --> 00:01:27.601
The shortened mission
will allow for landing

22
00:01:27.601 --> 00:01:29.234
and postlanding
ground operations

23
00:01:29.234 --> 00:01:31.000
to be conducted
at Kennedy Space Center

24
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.934
or if necessary
at Edwards Air Force

25
00:01:32.934 --> 00:01:37.801
Base in California
prior to the end of the year.

26
00:01:37.801 --> 00:01:39.467
A primary objective
of this flight

27
00:01:39.467 --> 00:01:41.400
is to rendezvous
with the Hubble Space

28
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.601
Telescope that was first placed
into low Earth orbit aboard

29
00:01:44.601 --> 00:01:47.033
Discovery in April of 1990,

30
00:01:47.033 --> 00:01:49.267
and once we complete
the rendezvous on Tuesday

31
00:01:49.267 --> 00:01:52.267
and grapple the telescope
with the orbiter's robotic arm,

32
00:01:52.267 --> 00:01:53.567
the seven-member crew
of Discovery

33
00:01:53.567 --> 00:01:55.834
will spend the next 3 days
in space

34
00:01:55.834 --> 00:01:59.167
performing three EVAs,
or space walks,

35
00:01:59.167 --> 00:02:00.534
to replace the various parts

36
00:02:00.534 --> 00:02:04.901
and get the telescope
back into functional health,

37
00:02:04.901 --> 00:02:08.601
and we have a live shot
of our seven astronauts

38
00:02:08.601 --> 00:02:12.067
as they're seated for their
lunch before suiting up

39
00:02:12.067 --> 00:02:15.000
and going out to the pad.

40
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.767
All astronauts have been awake

41
00:02:16.767 --> 00:02:19.601
since several hours
earlier this morning.

42
00:02:19.601 --> 00:02:23.167
Claude Nicollier,
from the European Space Agency,

43
00:02:23.167 --> 00:02:24.834
was preparing
for his fourth flight.

44
00:02:24.834 --> 00:02:30.901
Michael Foale is preparing
for his fifth flight.

45
00:02:30.901 --> 00:02:34.234
Our pilot, first-time flier
on the shuttle, Scott Kelly,

46
00:02:34.234 --> 00:02:38.400
and commander of all,
Curt Brown,

47
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.767
preparing for his sixth flight.

48
00:02:42.767 --> 00:02:45.868
Rounding out the crew, again,
there's seven crew members here,

49
00:02:45.868 --> 00:02:51.334
Jean-François Clervoy as well
as the other crew members:

50
00:02:51.334 --> 00:02:56.367
Steve Smith and John Grunsfeld,
whom we just saw.

51
00:02:56.367 --> 00:03:00.200
All astronauts, of course, are
well-prepared for this mission.

52
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:05.067
They've been training for most
of this year for this flight.

53
00:03:05.067 --> 00:03:07.667
They've actually been in town
since about December the 6th,

54
00:03:07.667 --> 00:03:11.701
but with a number of delays,
they have had some opportunities

55
00:03:11.701 --> 00:03:15.868
to, of course, fly on the
shuttle-training aircraft

56
00:03:15.868 --> 00:03:17.234
to go through
their flight plans,

57
00:03:17.234 --> 00:03:20.234
to make any additional changes

58
00:03:20.234 --> 00:03:22.767
that they might feel are
necessary to this mission now

59
00:03:22.767 --> 00:03:26.267
that we've got 2 days
less in the flight

60
00:03:26.267 --> 00:03:28.501
than we had earlier planned,

61
00:03:28.501 --> 00:03:32.734
but all are prepared for launch
this afternoon with our time,

62
00:03:32.734 --> 00:03:35.267
the opening of the window,
7:50 p.m.

63
00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:39.968
Close-in now of
the traditional cake

64
00:03:39.968 --> 00:03:43.767
that is baked for the crew,
indicating their crew patch.

65
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.968
This is Shuttle Launch Control
with about 21 minutes

66
00:03:55.968 --> 00:03:59.334
remaining in our built-in hold
at T-minus 3 hours,

67
00:03:59.334 --> 00:04:01.734
and we have live
TV of our crew

68
00:04:01.734 --> 00:04:08.734
as they are being suited up for
their ride into space tonight.

69
00:04:08.734 --> 00:04:10.367
Curt Brown, our commander,

70
00:04:13.133 --> 00:04:16.000
preparing for his
sixth space shuttle flight.

71
00:04:20.968 --> 00:04:27.133
Scott Kelly, our pilot,
who will be on his first flight.

72
00:04:27.133 --> 00:04:29.767
Scott has a twin brother
in the Astronaut Corps

73
00:04:29.767 --> 00:04:32.300
as well, Mark.

74
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:36.267
They both joined the Corps
back a couple of years ago.

75
00:04:38.367 --> 00:04:41.367
John Grunsfeld has flown
three times,

76
00:04:41.367 --> 00:04:44.267
or this will be
his third flight, actually,

77
00:04:44.267 --> 00:04:46.734
and he will be
one of our space walkers

78
00:04:46.734 --> 00:04:49.901
on this mission
for EVAs one and three.

79
00:04:52.701 --> 00:04:56.634
Going over to the other side
of the room, Steve Smith:

80
00:04:56.634 --> 00:05:01.434
He is preparing for his
third flight today as well.

81
00:05:01.434 --> 00:05:03.934
Jean-François Clervoy
from France,

82
00:05:03.934 --> 00:05:07.868
one of the European
Space Agency astronauts.

83
00:05:07.868 --> 00:05:10.267
He's been on the shuttle twice.

84
00:05:10.267 --> 00:05:14.300
He's preparing for
his third flight today.

85
00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:17.000
Claude
Nicollier from Switzerland,

86
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.367
also of
the European Space Agency:

87
00:05:22.834 --> 00:05:24.634
Claude has flown
three times before.

88
00:05:24.634 --> 00:05:27.734
This will be his fourth flight
into space.

89
00:05:27.734 --> 00:05:30.734
Michael Foale,
we all remember him

90
00:05:30.734 --> 00:05:32.367
from his 4-month stay aboard

91
00:05:32.367 --> 00:05:35.801
the Russian Space Station Mir
back in '97.

92
00:05:52.200 --> 00:05:53.868
Live shots of our astronauts now

93
00:05:53.868 --> 00:05:55.467
as they come out
of their crew quarters

94
00:05:55.467 --> 00:05:57.000
on the third floor
of the Operations

95
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.534
and Checkout Building,
making their way to the elevator

96
00:06:00.534 --> 00:06:02.234
that will carry them down
to the ground floor

97
00:06:02.234 --> 00:06:04.734
of the Operations
and Checkout building,

98
00:06:04.734 --> 00:06:08.100
and from there, they will enter
the astronaut van

99
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:11.100
that will drive them out
to Pad 39B.

100
00:06:14.567 --> 00:06:17.267
Support personnel riding
in the elevator with them.

101
00:06:22.868 --> 00:06:26.133
And here they come,
and with the launch tonight,

102
00:06:26.133 --> 00:06:27.968
this will be
the first shuttle crew

103
00:06:27.968 --> 00:06:31.501
to spend Christmas in orbit,
and on Christmas Day,

104
00:06:31.501 --> 00:06:34.300
they will deploy
the Hubble Space Telescope

105
00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:37.501
after three space walks to get
it back into functional health.

106
00:06:37.501 --> 00:06:42.434
The crew is being led
by Commander Curt Brown.

107
00:06:42.434 --> 00:06:44.400
We have Scott Kelly as a pilot,

108
00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:48.968
mission specialist Steve Smith,
Jean-François Clervoy,

109
00:06:48.968 --> 00:06:53.601
John Grunsfeld, Michael Foale
and Claude Nicollier.

110
00:07:05.701 --> 00:07:09.200
And we see crew members
with our pad cameras

111
00:07:09.200 --> 00:07:12.667
now walking toward
the orbiter access arm

112
00:07:12.667 --> 00:07:17.367
on the 195-foot level
of the fixed service structure,

113
00:07:17.367 --> 00:07:20.801
and they will soon begin
entering the vehicle.

114
00:07:24.434 --> 00:07:26.834
-CC, OVCC.
-And we have our first view

115
00:07:26.834 --> 00:07:31.400
today of the inside
of the Shuttle Discovery

116
00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:39.434
as commander Curt Brown
is helped into his seat.

117
00:08:04.133 --> 00:08:08.868
And we now have another picture
of the mid-deck as...

118
00:08:08.868 --> 00:08:12.100
-The CC...
-...Nicollier finds his seat

119
00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:13.801
on the starboard side
of the vehicle.

120
00:08:13.801 --> 00:08:15.400
-...onboard at this time.

121
00:08:34.300 --> 00:08:35.767
-And a shot
from a different angle

122
00:08:35.767 --> 00:08:39.000
at this time
of the crew compartment,

123
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.267
the forward crew compartment,
on the flight deck.

124
00:08:43.267 --> 00:08:50.467
This is a shot of Scott Kelly,
our pilot, being suited up.

125
00:08:50.467 --> 00:08:55.300
Commander Curt Brown
is on the other side of him.

126
00:08:55.300 --> 00:08:56.534
As you can see, bright sunlight

127
00:08:56.534 --> 00:08:59.901
coming in through
the orbiter's windows

128
00:08:59.901 --> 00:09:03.868
is very indicative
of the sunshine outside

129
00:09:03.868 --> 00:09:07.934
and the fact that we have
virtually cloudless skies.

130
00:09:37.434 --> 00:09:39.701
-Launch Director, you have
the MMT concurrence

131
00:09:39.701 --> 00:09:43.734
and authorization
to continue with launch.

132
00:09:43.734 --> 00:09:49.267
-Okay, copy, CDR.
-CR, go.

133
00:09:49.267 --> 00:09:51.167
-Yeah, Curt, we appreciate
your patience

134
00:09:51.167 --> 00:09:52.200
in hanging in there with us.

135
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.801
The vehicle and team
are ready to go.

136
00:09:54.801 --> 00:09:58.234
We hope to have a great mission
to Hubble,

137
00:09:58.234 --> 00:10:01.000
and we'll see you back here
before the next millennium.

138
00:10:03.400 --> 00:10:06.200
-Okay.
We copy that, and we know

139
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.901
it's been a little bit
challenging over the past month

140
00:10:08.901 --> 00:10:10.868
to get us ready to go,

141
00:10:10.868 --> 00:10:12.701
but we knew
we had the best processing

142
00:10:12.701 --> 00:10:16.467
and the best launch team
in the known universe behind us.

143
00:10:16.467 --> 00:10:17.968
So we're honored to be part
of that team,

144
00:10:17.968 --> 00:10:19.868
and we have one request.

145
00:10:19.868 --> 00:10:21.634
We'd like you to send a note
to Hubble to get ready

146
00:10:21.634 --> 00:10:23.200
because we're on our way.

147
00:10:27.534 --> 00:10:29.000
-Okay, Curt.
We appreciate that,

148
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.000
and we're looking forward
to the next few days

149
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.601
to watch you do your magic,
and NTD, launch director.

150
00:10:35.601 --> 00:10:37.200
-Launch director, go ahead.

151
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.400
-Have a go to pick up
the count at nine.

152
00:10:39.400 --> 00:10:41.000
-Copy that.

153
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.067
-Standing by for orbiter
access arm

154
00:10:47.067 --> 00:10:49.467
to be retracted away
from the vehicle.

155
00:10:49.467 --> 00:10:52.734
This is the walkway used by
the crew to gain entry

156
00:10:52.734 --> 00:10:54.234
into and out of the vehicle.

157
00:10:54.234 --> 00:10:57.400
It can be returned to position
within seconds if necessary.

158
00:11:06.334 --> 00:11:08.100
Three main engines
are being gimbaled

159
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:10.067
as the final test before launch.

160
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:15.968
Everything continues
to look good,

161
00:11:15.968 --> 00:11:17.567
and we are cleared
for launch tonight.

162
00:11:17.567 --> 00:11:19.601
No problems are being reported
from the vehicle

163
00:11:19.601 --> 00:11:21.200
or from the crew.

164
00:11:29.033 --> 00:11:31.767
-OTC, PLT, caution and warning,
memory is cleared,

165
00:11:31.767 --> 00:11:33.400
no unexpected errors.

166
00:11:33.400 --> 00:11:34.701
-Copy.

167
00:11:34.701 --> 00:11:36.667
Discovery, close and lock
your visors

168
00:11:36.667 --> 00:11:38.467
and initiate O2 flow.

169
00:11:38.467 --> 00:11:41.334
Have a safe journey to Hubble
and continue man's quest

170
00:11:41.334 --> 00:11:43.434
to unveil
the secrets of the universe.

171
00:11:43.434 --> 00:11:47.033
We'll see you in 8 days.

172
00:11:47.033 --> 00:11:49.367
-Discovery copies,
advise there's O2.

173
00:11:52.767 --> 00:11:57.400
-CLS is go for ET,
LH2 pressurization.

174
00:11:57.400 --> 00:12:00.767
-T-minus 15 seconds.

175
00:12:00.767 --> 00:12:06.100
Twelve, 11, 10,
nine, eight, seven.

176
00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:08.834
We have a go
for main engine start.

177
00:12:08.834 --> 00:12:12.868
Four, three, two, one.

178
00:12:12.868 --> 00:12:15.300
We have booster ignition
and liftoff

179
00:12:15.300 --> 00:12:17.234
of the Space Shuttle Discovery,

180
00:12:17.234 --> 00:12:19.267
mission to prepare
the Hubble Space Telescope

181
00:12:19.267 --> 00:12:21.934
as we venture
into the 21st century.

182
00:12:24.033 --> 00:12:26.868
-Houston, Discovery.
Roll program.

183
00:12:26.868 --> 00:12:29.667
-Roger roll, Discovery.

184
00:12:29.667 --> 00:12:30.767
-Houston is now controlling.

185
00:12:30.767 --> 00:12:32.133
A roll maneuver is complete.

186
00:12:32.133 --> 00:12:34.567
Discovery is now in a heads-down
position,

187
00:12:34.567 --> 00:12:38.434
on course for 28 1/2 degree,
310-nautical-mile orbit.

188
00:12:48.567 --> 00:12:49.801
Discovery's three main engines

189
00:12:49.801 --> 00:12:51.267
now are beginning
to throttle down

190
00:12:51.267 --> 00:12:53.567
to lessen the effects
of the dense lower regions

191
00:12:53.567 --> 00:12:55.567
of the atmosphere
on the orbiter,

192
00:12:55.567 --> 00:12:58.834
Discovery already traveling
700 miles per hour.

193
00:12:58.834 --> 00:13:01.634
3 miles altitude.
a little more than a mile

194
00:13:01.634 --> 00:13:03.801
downrange from
the Kennedy Space Center.

195
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.601
Now 1 minute into the flight,

196
00:13:14.601 --> 00:13:17.300
the three main engines now
beginning to throttle back up.

197
00:13:24.067 --> 00:13:27.634
-Discovery, Houston,
go at throttle up.

198
00:13:27.634 --> 00:13:28.767
-Discovery copies.

199
00:13:28.767 --> 00:13:30.601
Go at throttle up.

200
00:13:30.601 --> 00:13:32.601
-Now 1 minute,
20 seconds into the flight.

201
00:13:32.601 --> 00:13:34.701
Discovery already 10 miles
in altitude

202
00:13:34.701 --> 00:13:36.834
and downrange 7 miles
from the launch site,

203
00:13:36.834 --> 00:13:40.000
traveling 1,500 miles per hour,

204
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.234
all systems are looking
good aboard Discovery,

205
00:13:42.234 --> 00:13:45.667
three good electrical systems
as fuel cells

206
00:13:45.667 --> 00:13:47.133
and also the auxiliary
power unit

207
00:13:47.133 --> 00:13:50.968
is providing hydraulic power
to the vehicle.

208
00:13:50.968 --> 00:13:52.934
All three main engines
still in excellent shape,

209
00:13:52.934 --> 00:13:57.501
approaching 1 minute
40 seconds into the flight.

210
00:13:57.501 --> 00:14:00.167
The next step is burnout
and separation of the twin

211
00:14:00.167 --> 00:14:02.334
Solid Rocket Boosters
on the orbiter.

212
00:14:02.334 --> 00:14:05.400
Discovery system now weighs
half of what it did at liftoff,

213
00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:08.501
having burned half
its total weight in propellant.

214
00:14:22.334 --> 00:14:26.534
-Discovery, Houston,
two engine Ben.

215
00:14:26.534 --> 00:14:29.067
-Discovery copies,
two engine Benguerra.

216
00:14:29.067 --> 00:14:32.767
-The SRB separation
has been confirmed.

217
00:14:32.767 --> 00:14:35.334
The crew has also been told
that they can get

218
00:14:35.334 --> 00:14:39.100
to the Benguerra Transatlantic
Abort Site on two engines,

219
00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:42.934
should one fail at this point,
all systems in excellent shape

220
00:14:42.934 --> 00:14:45.534
and all very quiet here
at mission control,

221
00:14:45.534 --> 00:14:48.200
three good main engines,
three good hydraulic systems

222
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.267
and fuel cells
aboard the orbiter.

223
00:14:50.267 --> 00:14:52.634
Discovery's altitude
is 40 miles,

224
00:14:52.634 --> 00:14:55.334
downrange now from the Kennedy
Space Center 55 miles.

225
00:14:55.334 --> 00:14:59.300
Discovery is now traveling
3.500 miles per hour.

226
00:15:03.067 --> 00:15:06.701
and we're back here
in mission control in Houston,

227
00:15:06.701 --> 00:15:09.801
capturing these live views
from Discovery

228
00:15:09.801 --> 00:15:12.000
as the payload bay doors
are opened

229
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.501
as the vehicle
completes its first orbit,

230
00:15:14.501 --> 00:15:16.467
flying within range of
the Merritt Island

231
00:15:16.467 --> 00:15:19.968
Tracking Station in Florida.

232

-Good morning, Houston.

261
00:18:25.801 --> 00:18:27.100
Houston, Discovery for payloads.

262
00:18:27.100 --> 00:18:31.667
We've completed step four
now of SSE checkout,

263
00:18:31.667 --> 00:18:35.033
and we're on to page
197. step five.

264
00:18:35.033 --> 00:18:37.501
No anomalies to report.

265
00:18:37.501 --> 00:18:39.267
-Thanks, Steve.
We're with you.

266
00:18:47.968 --> 00:18:50.767
And, Discovery, we've got a good
end-effector camera view

267
00:18:50.767 --> 00:18:51.801
down here.

268
00:18:53.901 --> 00:18:57.634
-In this unique Vantage point,
looking from the end-effector

269
00:18:57.634 --> 00:18:59.200
camera
on the shuttle's robotic arm,

270
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.667
looking straight down
into the payload bay

271
00:19:02.667 --> 00:19:05.200
down at the flight-support
system.

272
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:09.601
Again, that will be
the structure that will house

273
00:19:09.601 --> 00:19:10.934
the Hubble Space Telescope

274
00:19:10.934 --> 00:19:16.033
secured in the payload bay
throughout the three space

275
00:19:16.033 --> 00:19:19.901
walks that are scheduled
for the flight.

276
00:19:19.901 --> 00:19:21.267
Underway now now that
the robotic arm

277
00:19:21.267 --> 00:19:23.100
has been checked out

278
00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:27.267
is the traditional payload bay
survey using the robotic arm.

279
00:19:37.167 --> 00:19:38.767
And next coming into view

280
00:19:38.767 --> 00:19:43.000
is the orbital-replacement
unit carrier,

281
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.200
the same carrier
that's been used on

282
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.434
all of the Hubble
servicing missions,

283
00:19:47.434 --> 00:19:51.033
housing in various
compartments and boxes,

284
00:19:51.033 --> 00:19:55.067
the components that will be
installed in the telescope.

285
00:19:55.067 --> 00:19:57.200
These various containers
and cannisters

286
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.534
will also house
the components

287
00:19:59.534 --> 00:20:01.534
that are removed
from the telescope

288
00:20:01.534 --> 00:20:03.200
to be returned to Earth.

289
00:20:29.033 --> 00:20:30.667
Again, the entire structure
is called

290
00:20:30.667 --> 00:20:33.234
the Orbital Replacement
Unit Carrier,

291
00:20:33.234 --> 00:20:37.767
and then each box within this
carrier have specific names,

292
00:20:40.934 --> 00:20:43.133
signifying which
compartment houses,

293
00:20:43.133 --> 00:20:45.334
which pieces of equipment

294
00:20:45.334 --> 00:20:48.167
that will be installed
in the telescope.

295
00:20:55.667 --> 00:20:58.767
And now the robotic arm
moving back across the top

296
00:20:58.767 --> 00:21:01.200
of the Orbital
Replacement Unit Carrier.

297
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:07.334
First in view there in the
center is the forward fixture,

298
00:21:07.334 --> 00:21:10.300
which actually is
the compartment

299
00:21:10.300 --> 00:21:13.367
that's housing
the new Fine Guidance Sensor

300
00:21:13.367 --> 00:21:17.400
that will be installed
on the second space walk.

301
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.667
-Well, thank you very much,
Curt, and let me start off

302
00:21:54.667 --> 00:21:57.334
by congratulating you
on a beautiful launch yesterday.

303
00:21:57.334 --> 00:21:58.801
A lot of us never thought
you were going

304
00:21:58.801 --> 00:22:00.300
to make it off
the ground this year,

305
00:22:00.300 --> 00:22:03.067
and I guess I was wondering what
you thought your chances were,

306
00:22:03.067 --> 00:22:05.734
and did you feel there was
any undue rush there at the end

307
00:22:05.734 --> 00:22:10.501
to beat what turned out to be
a less-than-firm deadline?

308
00:22:10.501 --> 00:22:13.167
-Well, Bill, I can't take
any credit for that launch.

309
00:22:13.167 --> 00:22:15.601
As you know, we do a lot
of training

310
00:22:15.601 --> 00:22:17.334
to make sure we can handle
whatever happens,

311
00:22:17.334 --> 00:22:19.234
but the credit
for that beautiful launch

312
00:22:19.234 --> 00:22:22.300
goes to the team down
at Kennedy Space Center.

313
00:22:22.300 --> 00:22:25.067
They have been working
quite a few hours here lately

314
00:22:25.067 --> 00:22:27.000
to get us off this year

315
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.367
and have us on this mission
to come up, repair Hubble,

316
00:22:30.367 --> 00:22:31.801
and so we're very proud
of that team,

317
00:22:31.801 --> 00:22:34.467
and we're just glad
to be part of that team.

318
00:22:34.467 --> 00:22:36.000
-But just to make sure
I'm understanding,

319
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.868
you didn't feel there was
any rush at all to get you off?

320
00:22:37.868 --> 00:22:39.501
I mean, I'm taking it from
your answer that you thought

321
00:22:39.501 --> 00:22:42.601
that this was all done
in an appropriate fashion.

322
00:22:45.501 --> 00:22:47.100
-Well, Bill, there's kind
of a joke

323
00:22:47.100 --> 00:22:50.234
that you always like to have
a shuttle mission ahead of you,

324
00:22:50.234 --> 00:22:53.801
so you can train and always have
something to look forward to,

325
00:22:53.801 --> 00:22:57.868
but in our case, I think
the vehicle was ready to go.

326
00:22:57.868 --> 00:23:00.601
The weather was ready to go, and
we were definitely ready to go,

327
00:23:00.601 --> 00:23:03.267
and obviously, Hubble was up
needing the servicing,

328
00:23:03.267 --> 00:23:04.534
and so we're up here.

329
00:23:04.534 --> 00:23:06.767
So if the vehicle is ready
and the crew is ready,

330
00:23:06.767 --> 00:23:09.200
I think the right thing to do
is go launch.

331
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.701
-Well, launching when you do,
of course,

332
00:23:10.701 --> 00:23:12.434
means you've had to shorten
your mission from 10 days to 8

333
00:23:12.434 --> 00:23:15.934
and give up one of your planned
space walks for Mike Foale.

334
00:23:15.934 --> 00:23:17.634
I was wondering what
your thoughts are about that

335
00:23:17.634 --> 00:23:19.601
and how confident you are
about restoring Hubble

336
00:23:19.601 --> 00:23:22.234
to good health
with three space walks.

337
00:23:24.601 --> 00:23:26.901
-Well, I'm sure we can achieve
all of the objectives

338
00:23:26.901 --> 00:23:30.100
that were specified as necessary
for 100 percent success,

339
00:23:30.100 --> 00:23:32.434
and that's basically to replace
the gyroscopes

340
00:23:32.434 --> 00:23:34.868
that have failed
on the telescope,

341
00:23:34.868 --> 00:23:38.133
and also change out the computer
and charging units

342
00:23:38.133 --> 00:23:40.367
and the Fine Guidance Sensor.

343
00:23:40.367 --> 00:23:42.033
Those are the critical elements

344
00:23:42.033 --> 00:23:43.701
that have to be done
for this flight,

345
00:23:43.701 --> 00:23:45.701
and we'll achieve those
actually in two EVAs,

346
00:23:45.701 --> 00:23:49.100
and then we'll get some extra
tasks done on the third one.

347
00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:50.334
-Were you disappointed, Mike,
yourself?

348
00:23:50.334 --> 00:23:51.767
I guess you're one of the ones

349
00:23:51.767 --> 00:23:53.701
that's going to lose an EVA
after all that training.

350
00:23:53.701 --> 00:23:57.534
I'm just wondering
how frustrating that is.

351
00:23:57.534 --> 00:23:58.701
-Well, they come.

352
00:23:58.701 --> 00:24:01.000
They go, and you have to kind
of roll with it.

353
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.234
Sometimes, things change, and
you get more than you asked for.

354
00:24:04.234 --> 00:24:05.868
Sometimes, you get less.

355
00:24:05.868 --> 00:24:08.634
It's really something I try
and look,

356
00:24:08.634 --> 00:24:10.400
you know, in the big picture,
down the road a bit,

357
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.300
there will be other flights,
other chances.

358
00:24:13.300 --> 00:24:16.801
Certainly, I would regret not
getting as many EVAs as I could,

359
00:24:16.801 --> 00:24:19.767
you know, being greedy as I am,
but this is fine,

360
00:24:19.767 --> 00:24:22.934
and I understand why
the program made this decision.

361
00:24:22.934 --> 00:24:25.501
-Curt, your crew is just
the third in American history,

362
00:24:25.501 --> 00:24:27.467
I guess, space history,
to be in orbit over Christmas,

363
00:24:27.467 --> 00:24:29.367
and the first in the history
of the shuttle program,

364
00:24:29.367 --> 00:24:31.734
and I know you guys are going
to be busy on Christmas Day

365
00:24:31.734 --> 00:24:33.467
redeploying
the Hubble Space Telescope,

366
00:24:33.467 --> 00:24:35.234
but I was wondering
if you'll have any time

367
00:24:35.234 --> 00:24:37.434
at all to teleconference
with your families.

368
00:24:37.434 --> 00:24:38.934
Do you have any decorations
on board?

369
00:24:38.934 --> 00:24:40.634
Is there a tree, perhaps?

370
00:24:43.367 --> 00:24:46.667
-Well, Bill, we can't tell you
all our secrets,

371
00:24:46.667 --> 00:24:48.767
but we're looking forward
to the deploy of Hubble,

372
00:24:48.767 --> 00:24:51.467
and if we have a chance
on Christmas Day

373
00:24:51.467 --> 00:24:53.367
to say hello to our families,

374
00:24:53.367 --> 00:24:55.434
we'll definitely
take advantage of that.

375
00:24:55.434 --> 00:24:57.100
-Did you guys get to finish
your Christmas shopping,

376
00:24:57.100 --> 00:24:58.834
or is there a way you're doing
any Christmas

377
00:24:58.834 --> 00:25:00.934
shopping online up there,
I'm wondering?

378
00:25:08.667 --> 00:25:12.501
-Well, we can't do any Christmas
shopping online from here,

379
00:25:12.501 --> 00:25:14.200
but we were able to take care
of that, I think,

380
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:19.100
online during our 2 weeks
being quarantined.

381
00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:22.634
At least, I was able to do that.
-Thanks a lot,

382
00:25:22.634 --> 00:25:24.167
and the last question
from my wife,

383
00:25:24.167 --> 00:25:25.868
was wondering if you guys
planned to leave any milk

384
00:25:25.868 --> 00:25:28.000
and cookies out
for Santa Claus this year?

385
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.334
-You know, before we flew
this mission,

386
00:25:33.334 --> 00:25:35.601
and there was a possibility
of flying over Christmas,

387
00:25:35.601 --> 00:25:38.734
I talked to my 5-year-old
daughter about that

388
00:25:38.734 --> 00:25:42.767
and explained to her
how that could be a possibility,

389
00:25:42.767 --> 00:25:45.968
and once I told her that we were
going to point the telescope

390
00:25:45.968 --> 00:25:49.601
at the North Pole
and get a picture of Santa,

391
00:25:49.601 --> 00:25:51.634
she was all excited
and really didn't mind

392
00:25:51.634 --> 00:25:54.133
too much her dad
being away for Christmas.

393
00:25:54.133 --> 00:25:57.634
-Okay, now, let me finish with
one last one here real quick.

394
00:25:57.634 --> 00:25:59.868
I know you guys always try
to get done things

395
00:25:59.868 --> 00:26:02.567
when you might not always have
the time, like that fourth EVA.

396
00:26:02.567 --> 00:26:05.133
I mean, for Mike Foale, I guess,
any chance you can squeeze

397
00:26:05.133 --> 00:26:06.467
in some of the tasks
on that fourth

398
00:26:06.467 --> 00:26:08.067
EVA on the three you've got?

399
00:26:08.067 --> 00:26:09.667
I'm assuming there's no chance
this mission

400
00:26:09.667 --> 00:26:11.334
will get extended a day, Curt.

401
00:26:17.701 --> 00:26:19.868
-Bill, as far as the question
goes about

402
00:26:19.868 --> 00:26:22.400
squeezing in the fourth EVA
into the third,

403
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.734
no, I don't think
there's any chance of that,

404
00:26:24.734 --> 00:26:29.133
except maybe one small task
involving latch doors

405
00:26:29.133 --> 00:26:32.300
to be properly latched

406
00:26:32.300 --> 00:26:37.734
that were not properly posed
that need repair right now,

407
00:26:37.734 --> 00:26:39.367
and we had planned that
for the fourth day,

408
00:26:39.367 --> 00:26:42.067
and we may be able to do that on
the third day or the second day.

409
00:26:42.067 --> 00:26:44.801
I'm going to let you have
the answer from Curt

410
00:26:44.801 --> 00:26:46.567
on the second part
of your question.

411
00:26:50.334 --> 00:26:52.133
-Well, Bill, as you know,
we haven't been to Hubble

412
00:26:52.133 --> 00:26:53.701
in a few years,

413
00:26:53.701 --> 00:26:55.767
and we never know
what we may find.

414
00:26:55.767 --> 00:27:00.400
I'm sure if we found some need
to do a fourth EVA

415
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:02.133
or make changes to our current

416
00:27:02.133 --> 00:27:04.601
EVAs,
the program would look at that,

417
00:27:04.601 --> 00:27:06.767
and we'd come up
with the right decision.

418
00:27:06.767 --> 00:27:09.267
So our plan right now is to do
the three EVAs,

419
00:27:09.267 --> 00:27:12.801
and like I said, there's no
better place to be than space,

420
00:27:12.801 --> 00:27:15.267
so we're very happy up there.

421
00:27:15.267 --> 00:27:17.400
-Commander Brown,
what's your vision

422
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.734
of how space exploration
will unfold in the future?

423
00:27:20.734 --> 00:27:22.133
Will we colonize Mars?

424
00:27:22.133 --> 00:27:24.067
Will space travel become common?

425
00:27:24.067 --> 00:27:25.934
Are we alone in the universe?

426
00:27:29.767 --> 00:27:32.968
-Well, I hate to quote a movie
that came out not too long ago.

427
00:27:32.968 --> 00:27:36.467
If we're the only ones in space,
it's a terrible waste of space,

428
00:27:36.467 --> 00:27:39.501
but I think there's going
to be things out there

429
00:27:39.501 --> 00:27:40.901
that we can hardly imagine,

430
00:27:40.901 --> 00:27:44.267
and hopefully in the next years
to come,

431
00:27:44.267 --> 00:27:46.634
we will have a chance
to go out and explore that.

432
00:27:46.634 --> 00:27:48.334
We're taking very
small steps now.

433
00:27:48.334 --> 00:27:51.767
There's things we have to learn:
how to do space exploration,

434
00:27:51.767 --> 00:27:54.868
how to enable humans
to go to other places.

435
00:27:54.868 --> 00:27:56.701
The distances are long.

436
00:27:56.701 --> 00:28:01.000
It's a long way to the nearest
planet or star,

437
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:02.667
so we got to figure
out ways to do that.

438
00:28:02.667 --> 00:28:06.701
So we're taking small steps now,
and just like a few years ago,

439
00:28:06.701 --> 00:28:09.167
flying in an aircraft
was kind of unheard of.

440
00:28:09.167 --> 00:28:11.701
Pretty soon, flying in space
will be common nature,

441
00:28:11.701 --> 00:28:14.667
and I think that's where
we're going to go.

442
00:28:14.667 --> 00:28:16.801
-Jean-François Clervoy,
as a member

443
00:28:16.801 --> 00:28:19.234
of the European Space Agency,
please tell us

444
00:28:19.234 --> 00:28:21.434
about international cooperation
in space.

445
00:28:21.434 --> 00:28:23.701
Why are you flying
on a NASA shuttle?

446
00:28:26.601 --> 00:28:30.000
-NASA has opened its space
program to cooperation

447
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:31.367
with many countries,

448
00:28:31.367 --> 00:28:34.868
including the 14 countries
of Europe,

449
00:28:34.868 --> 00:28:37.901
starting with, in the early days
on the space shuttle

450
00:28:37.901 --> 00:28:39.367
with a space lab,

451
00:28:39.367 --> 00:28:41.734
and Europe being one
of the partners

452
00:28:41.734 --> 00:28:46.567
for the completion of
the International Space Station,

453
00:28:46.567 --> 00:28:50.400
we are being part of the special
programs since the beginning,

454
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:53.000
and I hope that Europe

455
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.667
will be also part
of the international program

456
00:28:55.667 --> 00:28:57.868
that NASA will probably push

457
00:28:57.868 --> 00:29:01.834
in the next 20 years to go
and explore Mars,

458
00:29:01.834 --> 00:29:07.734
like we are starting now on the
automatic probes to visit Mars.

459
00:29:07.734 --> 00:29:10.534
-Michael Foale,
you are a father.

460
00:29:10.534 --> 00:29:13.334
As you look at Earth from space,
what do you think about

461
00:29:13.334 --> 00:29:16.601
the future for your children
on this fragile planet?

462
00:29:19.801 --> 00:29:24.000
-Well, I think the future
for our children is boundless.

463
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.834
I think we can
do terrible things.

464
00:29:25.834 --> 00:29:28.267
I think we can do wonderful
things as a race,

465
00:29:28.267 --> 00:29:30.834
and I want my children
and the children they come

466
00:29:30.834 --> 00:29:35.033
in contact with to feel
that they have great potential,

467
00:29:35.033 --> 00:29:37.601
that they can make
more of the future

468
00:29:37.601 --> 00:29:40.767
than their parents have
and their grandparents have.

469
00:29:40.767 --> 00:29:43.133
I think part of that
will be working in space.

470
00:29:43.133 --> 00:29:46.100
I think exploring space
and working with other countries

471
00:29:46.100 --> 00:29:50.701
going to Earth orbit to build
the International Space Station,

472
00:29:50.701 --> 00:29:53.701
and then Moon and Mars
and colonize the solar system

473
00:29:53.701 --> 00:29:54.934
will be a huge endeavor

474
00:29:54.934 --> 00:29:57.234
for many,
many nations on the Earth,

475
00:29:57.234 --> 00:30:01.367
and I think in the process
of doing that,

476
00:30:01.367 --> 00:30:05.000
our children will actually be
far more tolerant

477
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.534
and able to work
with each other,

478
00:30:06.534 --> 00:30:07.734
even though
they have differences,

479
00:30:07.734 --> 00:30:09.667
between their different
countries

480
00:30:09.667 --> 00:30:13.567
than so far generations
have shown up to this point.

481
00:30:15.634 --> 00:30:17.367
-Mr. Kelly, Scott,

482
00:30:17.367 --> 00:30:19.067
please describe
your first feelings

483
00:30:19.067 --> 00:30:20.734
of seeing Earth from space.

484
00:30:20.734 --> 00:30:22.033
This is your first time
up there.

485
00:30:22.033 --> 00:30:24.200
Is the sunrise beautiful?

486
00:30:28.534 --> 00:30:30.901
-Yeah, my first --

487
00:30:30.901 --> 00:30:36.300
My feelings when I first
saw the Earth from space

488
00:30:36.300 --> 00:30:37.434
are really hard to describe

489
00:30:37.434 --> 00:30:40.834
because the Earth really
is so beautiful.

490
00:30:40.834 --> 00:30:45.667
It is a crystal-clear
brilliant blue

491
00:30:45.667 --> 00:30:49.234
when you first see
the Atlantic Ocean,

492
00:30:49.234 --> 00:30:53.234
in our case and the sunrise
following a night launch,

493
00:30:53.234 --> 00:30:57.901
and it really is one of the most
beautiful sights I've ever seen.

494
00:30:57.901 --> 00:31:00.400
It's something that I will never
forget,

495
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:01.767
and it's something that I wish

496
00:31:01.767 --> 00:31:03.667
everyone on Earth
could experience,

497
00:31:03.667 --> 00:31:09.000
and hopefully, one day,
they will have that opportunity.

498
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:12.734
-Commander Brown, from your very
special vantage point in space,

499
00:31:12.734 --> 00:31:15.033
can you give us a message
of hope and peace

500
00:31:15.033 --> 00:31:16.634
for the new millennium?

501
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:24.334
-Well, as we've touched on
in the last few questions,

502
00:31:24.334 --> 00:31:28.067
the Earth is very beautiful.

503
00:31:28.067 --> 00:31:34.400
The space program is going more
towards an international style,

504
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:36.133
and we have many countries
working together

505
00:31:36.133 --> 00:31:38.200
for the international
space station,

506
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:39.901
and as you look down
on the planet,

507
00:31:39.901 --> 00:31:41.734
and you realize all the people
that are there

508
00:31:41.734 --> 00:31:44.267
and all the countries
that are around the planet,

509
00:31:44.267 --> 00:31:47.000
and we do have conflicts
these days,

510
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.100
and we do have countries that
do not get along with each other

511
00:31:49.100 --> 00:31:52.300
and people that do not
get along with each other,

512
00:31:52.300 --> 00:31:55.167
and my dream would be that
that would all go away.

513
00:31:55.167 --> 00:31:58.067
As you orbit the Earth,
there's really no boundaries.

514
00:31:58.067 --> 00:31:59.734
You see the landmass
and the continents,

515
00:31:59.734 --> 00:32:01.601
but you really
don't see the people.

516
00:32:01.601 --> 00:32:04.167
I imagine the people down below,

517
00:32:04.167 --> 00:32:06.501
and you imagine them
all getting along,

518
00:32:06.501 --> 00:32:08.467
and it's so easy
to see that from space,

519
00:32:08.467 --> 00:32:11.767
how easy it would be
and how fragile the Earth is

520
00:32:11.767 --> 00:32:15.968
and because it's so fragile --
And actually, it's so small.

521
00:32:15.968 --> 00:32:17.601
As we orbit it,
it only takes 90 minutes

522
00:32:17.601 --> 00:32:19.267
to go all the way around,

523
00:32:19.267 --> 00:32:22.968
and as you see the delicate
balance of what we have here

524
00:32:22.968 --> 00:32:25.834
on planet Earth,

525
00:32:25.834 --> 00:32:29.701
my wishes and my blessings are
for the world to come together

526
00:32:29.701 --> 00:32:32.067
and be a place where everyone
would get along together,

527
00:32:32.067 --> 00:32:34.501
and we'll all take care
of our planet,

528
00:32:34.501 --> 00:32:37.801
and we can all view
and admire our planet.

-Good morning, Discovery.

551
00:35:34.434 --> 00:35:37.100
Hubble is about 278 miles
ahead of you

552
00:35:37.100 --> 00:35:38.968
and 13 miles above you.

553
00:35:42.767 --> 00:35:44.267
-Houston, Discovery.
Good morning.

554
00:35:44.267 --> 00:35:45.701
You have seven people
very anxious

555
00:35:45.701 --> 00:35:47.400
to rendezvous with Hubble.

556
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:49.000
Tell them we're on our way.

557
00:35:53.634 --> 00:35:57.834
-Discovery, we see a good config
for the burn.

558
00:35:57.834 --> 00:36:00.234
-Discovery copies. Thanks.

559
00:36:02.434 --> 00:36:04.634
-This burn-up coming in
10 seconds

560
00:36:04.634 --> 00:36:06.100
will use the left Orbital

561
00:36:06.100 --> 00:36:08.100
Maneuvering System engine
on the tail of the orbiter.

562
00:36:08.100 --> 00:36:10.334
So hopefully with this view,
we'll be able to see

563
00:36:10.334 --> 00:36:13.200
that engine fire up here
momentarily.

564
00:36:20.367 --> 00:36:21.601
And the burn is in progress.

565
00:36:21.601 --> 00:36:24.267
Again, it's a very short
17-second burn.

566
00:36:24.267 --> 00:36:26.501
We saw the initial start-up
of the engine,

567
00:36:26.501 --> 00:36:29.167
and that engine now has cut off.

568
00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:43.601
And this is
Mission Control Houston,

569
00:36:43.601 --> 00:36:46.767
this view from one
of the forward bulkhead cameras

570
00:36:46.767 --> 00:36:48.667
in the payload bay of Discovery,

571
00:36:48.667 --> 00:36:51.000
looking at
the Hubble Space Telescope,

572
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:54.467
52 miles out in front
of the Discovery,

573
00:36:54.467 --> 00:36:58.167
45 nautical miles.
or about 277,000 feet.

574
00:37:03.300 --> 00:37:04.434
-Houston, Discovery.

575
00:37:04.434 --> 00:37:05.901
We have the Hubble Space
Telescope

576
00:37:05.901 --> 00:37:07.667
in sight through the glass.

577
00:37:10.834 --> 00:37:13.100
-That's fantastic news.

578
00:37:37.067 --> 00:37:40.667
-This is Mission Control Houston
as the Hubble Space Telescope

579
00:37:40.667 --> 00:37:42.501
flies high above
the Earth's surface

580
00:37:42.501 --> 00:37:44.968
out over the Atlantic Ocean,

581
00:37:44.968 --> 00:37:48.200
again, just as it did
about an hour and a half ago,

582
00:37:48.200 --> 00:37:54.868
its orbital track taking it
across the surface of the Moon.

583
00:37:54.868 --> 00:37:58.434
The Moon will be full
tomorrow night,

584
00:37:58.434 --> 00:38:01.767
which also happens to be
the winter solstice,

585
00:38:01.767 --> 00:38:04.767
the point at which
the Moon and the Sun

586
00:38:04.767 --> 00:38:09.934
are at their closest points
to the Earth's surface,

587
00:38:09.934 --> 00:38:13.367
and due to that phenomenon,
the Moon will actually appear

588
00:38:13.367 --> 00:38:18.501
about 14 or so percent bigger
than it does routinely,

589
00:38:18.501 --> 00:38:21.133
and it will also appear
much brighter

590
00:38:21.133 --> 00:38:23.801
because of the Sun's proximity
to the Earth

591
00:38:23.801 --> 00:38:28.100
in relation to the Moon's
proximity to the Earth as well.

592
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:36.567
And all is continuing
to go very smoothly

593
00:38:36.567 --> 00:38:40.267
and quietly here
in mission control.

594
00:38:40.267 --> 00:38:43.701
We are getting confirmation
now that the robotic arm

595
00:38:43.701 --> 00:38:47.100
is over the grapple fixture
on the telescope,

596
00:38:49.200 --> 00:38:53.133
and we do now have confirmation
that the grapple is complete

597
00:38:53.133 --> 00:38:55.000
with the rigidization

598
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.300
of the telescope's
grapple fixture in work,

599
00:38:57.300 --> 00:39:00.100
and capture now
has been confirmed.

600
00:39:02.334 --> 00:39:04.234
-Houston, Discovery.
We have a good capture.

601
00:39:04.234 --> 00:39:06.234
We have Hubble grappled.

602
00:39:09.701 --> 00:39:11.501
-Discovery, congratulations.

603
00:39:11.501 --> 00:39:13.501
Everyone here congratulates you

604
00:39:13.501 --> 00:39:15.701
on your first-class job
with a good grapple.

605
00:39:20.901 --> 00:39:23.901
-And for the first time
since February 1997,

606
00:39:23.901 --> 00:39:25.334
the Hubble Space Telescope,

607
00:39:25.334 --> 00:39:30.801
just as it was viewed when
the shuttle left it 3 years ago.

608
00:39:34.167 --> 00:39:35.634
-Discovery, Houston.
For your information,

609
00:39:35.634 --> 00:39:38.267
we just got KU coverage,
and we have a good picture

610
00:39:38.267 --> 00:39:39.601
of the Hubble
on the end of the arm.

611
00:39:39.601 --> 00:39:41.200
Beautiful sight.

612
00:39:43.300 --> 00:39:44.901
-Thanks, Steve.
Good news.

613
00:39:51.434 --> 00:39:53.834
-And Discovery now moving
into daylight,

614
00:39:53.834 --> 00:39:56.968
giving a much better view
of the telescope, again,

615
00:39:56.968 --> 00:40:02.400
for the first time
since February of 1997,

616
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:04.334
apparently no worse
for the wear,

617
00:40:04.334 --> 00:40:07.767
the telescope view
coming from one of the cameras

618
00:40:07.767 --> 00:40:10.667
at the back end
of Discovery's payload bay.

619
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:31.968
-Houston, Discovery for HST.

620
00:40:31.968 --> 00:40:34.400
Latch and made HST complete.

621
00:40:36.767 --> 00:40:38.234
-We copy.

622
00:40:38.234 --> 00:40:41.834
You're one big vehicle now, and
I have a delta for the timeline.

623
00:40:46.868 --> 00:40:49.501
-Again, recapping
almost an hour,

624
00:40:49.501 --> 00:40:51.667
exactly an hour
after the telescope

625
00:40:51.667 --> 00:40:54.067
was captured
by the shuttle's robot arm,

626
00:40:54.067 --> 00:40:57.100
the telescope was firmly berthed

627
00:40:57.100 --> 00:41:00.067
and latched atop
the flight-support system,

628
00:41:00.067 --> 00:41:02.801
and then just moments ago,
about 10 minutes ago,

629
00:41:02.801 --> 00:41:06.868
the Hubble Space Telescope
was verified on external power,

630
00:41:06.868 --> 00:41:09.434
orbiter power,
where it will remain

631
00:41:09.434 --> 00:41:14.868
for the remainder of the stay
in Discovery's payload bay.

632
00:41:17.601 --> 00:41:19.367
In addition to payload
bay cameras

633
00:41:19.367 --> 00:41:21.300
on each corner
of Discovery's payload bay,

634
00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:23.767
there are also two cameras
on the shuttle's robot arm,

635
00:41:23.767 --> 00:41:26.501
one on the elbow joint,

636
00:41:26.501 --> 00:41:29.367
and one out
on the very tip of the arm,

637
00:41:29.367 --> 00:41:31.801
the business end of the arm,
the end effector,

638
00:41:31.801 --> 00:41:35.968
which provides a very
close-up view of the telescope

639
00:41:35.968 --> 00:41:39.300
and its systems,

640
00:41:39.300 --> 00:41:42.767
and as part of the
post-berthing activities,

641
00:41:42.767 --> 00:41:48.000
the robot arm will be used
to provide the Hubble project

642
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:52.000
with some very detailed views
of the telescope

643
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:54.067
up close and personal

644
00:41:54.067 --> 00:41:58.467
since it has not been seen now
for almost 3 years.

645
00:41:58.467 --> 00:42:02.467
It allows the project to assess
the health

646
00:42:02.467 --> 00:42:05.467
of all of the external surfaces
of the telescope.

647
00:42:05.467 --> 00:42:10.901
That survey will be conducted

648
00:42:10.901 --> 00:42:14.534
primarily by robotic-arm
operator onboard,

649
00:42:14.534 --> 00:42:17.467
Mission Specialist
Jean-François Clervoy.

650
00:42:31.033 --> 00:42:32.167
-Discovery, Houston.

651
00:42:32.167 --> 00:42:34.300
From the Orbit One team,
Linda and I

652
00:42:34.300 --> 00:42:36.200
and the rest of the room
would like to congratulate you

653
00:42:36.200 --> 00:42:40.267
for a spectacular day making
the hardest things look easy.

654
00:42:40.267 --> 00:42:41.868
We were excited to be here
the whole day,

655
00:42:41.868 --> 00:42:45.567
and it's time to turn over
to Ryan and Ellen,

656
00:42:45.567 --> 00:42:47.400
the Orbit Two team.

657
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:49.501
As we looked at your video
photos of the Moon,

658
00:42:49.501 --> 00:42:54.133
we were reminded of 31 years ago
today, Apollo 8 launched,

659
00:42:54.133 --> 00:42:55.567
taking Frank Borman
and Jim Lovell

660
00:42:55.567 --> 00:42:57.167
and Bill Anders to the Moon.

661
00:42:59.300 --> 00:43:02.467
-Houston, we copy that, and it
was a beautiful sight today

662
00:43:02.467 --> 00:43:04.400
as we got closer
and closer to Hubble

663
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:08.634
and was able to accomplish
the rendezvous

664
00:43:08.634 --> 00:43:10.901
with the grapple
and the berthing,

665
00:43:10.901 --> 00:43:13.200
and we want to say special
thanks to our training team

666
00:43:13.200 --> 00:43:15.300
for making sure that we were
able to do all that hard work

667
00:43:15.300 --> 00:43:16.667
and to Steve Walker
and the rendezvous team

668
00:43:16.667 --> 00:43:18.501
for making sure we knew

669
00:43:18.501 --> 00:43:20.601
exactly how we were going
to find Hubble,

670
00:43:20.601 --> 00:43:22.501
and as you know,
it takes a team to make it work,

671
00:43:22.501 --> 00:43:23.968
and without y'all today,
we couldn't have made

672
00:43:23.968 --> 00:43:26.067
all this work,
and we appreciate that,

673
00:43:26.067 --> 00:43:28.968
and I sure wish
we were going to the Moon today.

674
00:43:31.934 --> 00:43:33.467
-Good.
Thanks for your words.

675
00:43:33.467 --> 00:43:34.868
I know your training teams
and all of us

676
00:43:34.868 --> 00:43:36.567
are pretty proud
to be all involved,

677
00:43:36.567 --> 00:43:40.267
and we're pretty in awe of what
you accomplished up there,

678
00:43:40.267 --> 00:43:41.801
so we'll see you tomorrow.

679

00:45:38.868 --> 00:45:40.300
on the arm up on the elbow,

687
00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:44.367
looking at this unique vantage
point down into the payload bay.

688
00:46:03.267 --> 00:46:06.100
-Okay, that's complete too.

689
00:46:06.100 --> 00:46:08.434
EV cameras hooked up.

690
00:46:08.434 --> 00:46:11.934
Billy Bob, you can take the arm
to the airlock.

691
00:46:11.934 --> 00:46:13.367
-Copy.

692
00:46:13.367 --> 00:46:14.667
I'm moving the arm to the
airlock in resting position.

693
00:46:14.667 --> 00:46:15.934
-And, Steve, can you verify --

694
00:46:15.934 --> 00:46:18.834
Can you take the sensor
and do the 180?

695
00:46:18.834 --> 00:46:20.934
-Yeah.
Let me get the extension.

696
00:46:20.934 --> 00:46:25.701
-And, Mike, I've got
the thermal cover open.

697
00:46:25.701 --> 00:46:28.000
-Okay.
I am not pulling the arm yet.

698
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.467
-Thank you, Billy Bob.

699
00:46:30.467 --> 00:46:35.767
-Okay, Mike,
the gear is deployed.

700
00:46:35.767 --> 00:46:37.667
I'm going to extend now.

701
00:46:37.667 --> 00:46:39.100
-All right.
I see that.

702
00:46:39.100 --> 00:46:42.367
-All three knobs have been
placed in the locked position.

703
00:46:45.067 --> 00:46:47.734
-And the first full views
now of John Grunsfeld

704
00:46:47.734 --> 00:46:49.667
down near
the external air lock...

705
00:46:49.667 --> 00:46:51.200
-You can continue forward.

706
00:46:51.200 --> 00:46:54.200
-...this looking straight down
from the elbow camera up

707
00:46:54.200 --> 00:46:57.067
on the shuttle's
Remote Manipulator System,

708
00:46:57.067 --> 00:46:58.567
or robotic arm.

709
00:46:58.567 --> 00:47:02.100
-I see no peeling or flaking

710
00:47:02.100 --> 00:47:06.734
or anything
all the way up to the truncheon.

711
00:47:06.734 --> 00:47:09.000
John, I think you're going to be
okay to transition there.

712
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:10.033
Wait.

713
00:47:10.033 --> 00:47:13.033
I'll check the other side,
though.

714
00:47:13.033 --> 00:47:19.834
-I am picking up a little bit
of yellow pigment, again,

715
00:47:19.834 --> 00:47:22.934
no flaking or anything.

716
00:47:24.634 --> 00:47:26.000
-I copy.

717
00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:29.067
-How's the [Indistinct] okay?

718
00:47:29.067 --> 00:47:33.067
-Very minor ripples
in the fabric and in the foil.

719
00:47:33.067 --> 00:47:35.667
-Okay. Because I know the
[Indistinct] is not in yet.

720
00:47:49.300 --> 00:47:53.267
I'm seeing three handrails,

721
00:47:53.267 --> 00:47:57.267
a little bit more like
their original color.

722
00:47:57.267 --> 00:48:01.234
I see no flaking or pitting
or anything.

723
00:48:01.234 --> 00:48:03.667
They look good.

724
00:48:03.667 --> 00:48:05.434
That's a big telescope, boy.

725
00:48:08.734 --> 00:48:10.334
-We copy you.

726
00:48:12.501 --> 00:48:17.067
-Bays six through 10 look
just like they did on 82.

727
00:48:17.067 --> 00:48:19.834
You know, there's some blankets
that we fixed

728
00:48:19.834 --> 00:48:23.367
are still there,
it looks like.

729
00:48:23.367 --> 00:48:27.467
Mike, anything else up here
for the back posts now?

730
00:48:27.467 --> 00:48:29.434
-I copy, Steven.

731
00:48:29.434 --> 00:48:32.167
We're waiting on
the bag to inflate.

732
00:48:36.267 --> 00:48:37.868
-Okay.

733
00:48:40.534 --> 00:48:43.133
-Okay, we're now
clear of Hubble.

734
00:48:43.133 --> 00:48:44.667
-Yeah, I think you're clear
to go up

735
00:48:44.667 --> 00:48:46.000
and forward at the same time.

736
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.400
-Yep.
-I concur.

737
00:49:25.767 --> 00:49:27.534
-Okay, John, are you ready
for the scope?

738
00:49:27.534 --> 00:49:28.901
-Go ahead.
-Okay.

739
00:49:28.901 --> 00:49:30.501
Moving to the scope.

740
00:49:58.300 --> 00:49:59.868
-Oh.

741
00:50:07.667 --> 00:50:09.167
-I'm ready.

742
00:50:12.801 --> 00:50:15.434
-Open it slowly.
Make sure nothing flies out.

743
00:50:15.434 --> 00:50:18.033
-Houston, Discovery.
-Hey, guys.

744
00:50:18.033 --> 00:50:22.901
-We have completed
the pivot HST, to 90 degrees.

745
00:50:22.901 --> 00:50:24.734
-The time is [Indistinct].

746
00:50:28.801 --> 00:50:33.000
-Well, I think everything looks
good inside the scope, Mike.

747
00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:36.267
-Good to hear that, Steve.

748
00:50:36.267 --> 00:50:38.200
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]

749
00:50:38.200 --> 00:50:40.901
-This is Mission Control
Houston, back aboard discovery

750
00:50:40.901 --> 00:50:45.934
now with two astronauts
well into the task

751
00:50:45.934 --> 00:50:49.367
of replacing and changing out
the Rate Sensor Units,

752
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:54.734
and this is
an up-close-and-personal view,

753
00:50:54.734 --> 00:50:56.968
looking over the shoulder
of John Grunsfeld

754
00:50:56.968 --> 00:50:59.868
into the aft shroud section
of the telescope.

755
00:50:59.868 --> 00:51:03.234
Steve Smith already
tucked up inside,

756
00:51:03.234 --> 00:51:04.801
turned around on his back.

757
00:51:04.801 --> 00:51:08.801
That's the best position
to remove

758
00:51:08.801 --> 00:51:12.734
and replace
the Rate Sensor Units.

759
00:51:33.501 --> 00:51:35.300
-Don't go much farther, though.
-Okay.

760
00:51:35.300 --> 00:51:36.501
I won't.
-Okay.

761
00:51:36.501 --> 00:51:41.067
I can verify the back tether
is on it.

762
00:51:41.067 --> 00:51:42.934
I'm releasing my tether.

763
00:52:08.968 --> 00:52:12.067
It's in the bag.

764
00:52:12.067 --> 00:52:13.501
-Roger.

765
00:52:18.133 --> 00:52:21.434
-Got some curveballs,
some knuckleballs today.

766
00:52:21.434 --> 00:52:24.567
-And, Houston,
just to summarize,

767
00:52:24.567 --> 00:52:27.501
we have the COPE
pit closed with two latches

768
00:52:27.501 --> 00:52:32.234
and RSU2 is stowed with a 1/4
inch to go in the front

769
00:52:32.234 --> 00:52:34.567
and the ATM transport door
not closed.

770
00:52:37.701 --> 00:52:40.067
-It's incredibly tight.

771
00:52:43.033 --> 00:52:44.467
-Can I tell my crew to come up?

772
00:52:44.467 --> 00:52:47.501
-Tell your crew to come up.
-Okay.

773
00:52:51.601 --> 00:52:54.334
Am I good to go on the left?

774
00:52:54.334 --> 00:52:57.734
-Yup.

775
00:52:57.734 --> 00:52:59.601
-We could try it in the
transform module next to it.

776
00:52:59.601 --> 00:53:00.868
I guess that's an idea.

777
00:53:00.868 --> 00:53:03.200
-That's what I think
we might want to do.

778
00:53:03.200 --> 00:53:04.701
-Engine can't stop [Indistinct].

779
00:53:04.701 --> 00:53:08.133
-Let's do that.
-Okay.

780
00:53:08.133 --> 00:53:10.567
I will.
-Okay.

781
00:53:10.567 --> 00:53:12.667
Steve Smith confirming
or commenting

782
00:53:12.667 --> 00:53:16.400
that the old
Rate Sensor Unit

783
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.701
has quite a tight fit putting it
back into the cannister

784
00:53:20.701 --> 00:53:21.968
for the return trip home,

785
00:53:21.968 --> 00:53:26.434
but the outer lid
to that cannister closes fine,

786
00:53:26.434 --> 00:53:28.968
so for the time being,

787
00:53:28.968 --> 00:53:30.834
the crew members
have been given a go to press on

788
00:53:30.834 --> 00:53:35.734
and change out the second
of the three Rate Sensor Units.

789
00:53:35.734 --> 00:53:38.133
In the meantime, the Hubble
Project has confirmed

790
00:53:38.133 --> 00:53:43.467
a good activation of the first
installed Rate Sensor Unit.

791
00:53:43.467 --> 00:53:44.634
-Sorry about the delay.

792
00:53:44.634 --> 00:53:47.234
We concur with your plan
to leave the COPE door

793
00:53:47.234 --> 00:53:50.634
lid closed on the RS2,
RSU2 as it is.

794
00:53:52.968 --> 00:53:55.033
-Thanks.

795
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:07.601
-Okay. No more, right?
Perfect.

796
00:54:07.601 --> 00:54:12.200
Jean-François, can you
take me to my right?

797
00:54:12.200 --> 00:54:14.400
-Yeah, that's okay.
-Okay.

798
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:15.601
Good.
That's fine.

799
00:54:15.601 --> 00:54:17.033
-Sure?
-Yeah. Absolutely.

800
00:54:17.033 --> 00:54:18.234
-Okay.

801
00:54:18.234 --> 00:54:20.033
-What other connector
do you need, Michael?

802
00:54:20.033 --> 00:54:21.634
-MI Houston, Discovery.

803
00:54:21.634 --> 00:54:25.267
Do we have a go
for RSU3 connector D-mate?

804
00:54:25.267 --> 00:54:29.400
-Discovery, you have a go
for RSU3 connector D-mate.

805
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:30.767
-Copy.
Steve, go ahead.

806
00:54:30.767 --> 00:54:34.834
-Okay.
-Jean-François, take me in.

807
00:54:37.634 --> 00:54:41.133
-Moving in.
-It'll be about 3 feet.

808
00:54:41.133 --> 00:54:45.334
-About 3 feet in.
-About 2 feet from your helmet.

809
00:54:47.968 --> 00:54:49.801
-One foot.
Looks like it's clear.

810
00:54:49.801 --> 00:54:51.901
One foot.
-Full stop.

811
00:54:56.834 --> 00:54:59.267
-You're on, right?

812
00:54:59.267 --> 00:55:01.734
Do an 11 count.
-Correct.

813
00:55:03.434 --> 00:55:07.234
-One, two,

814
00:55:07.234 --> 00:55:11.167
three, four,

815
00:55:11.167 --> 00:55:15.100
five, six,

816
00:55:15.100 --> 00:55:20.868
seven, eight, nine,

817
00:55:20.868 --> 00:55:25.100
10. 11.

818
00:55:25.100 --> 00:55:27.567
-Full stop. Full stop.

819
00:55:29.868 --> 00:55:34.434
We're done on the RS, RSU2.

820
00:55:34.434 --> 00:55:39.501
-Did you say you're good on two?
-Good on two.

821
00:55:39.501 --> 00:55:42.234
Please transition
to number three.

822
00:55:42.234 --> 00:55:45.234
-Okay.

823
00:55:45.234 --> 00:55:49.400
-Onboard, the crew members are
taking closeout photos and video

824
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:52.234
of the work site before closing
the aft shroud doors

825
00:55:52.234 --> 00:55:57.100
that do provide back
to the Hubble project

826
00:55:57.100 --> 00:56:00.467
as a reference tool on the work
that was accomplished inside.

827
00:56:00.467 --> 00:56:04.534
Again, all three Rate Sensor
Units have been removed

828
00:56:04.534 --> 00:56:07.100
and replaced
and checked out and activated,

829
00:56:07.100 --> 00:56:10.300
and all appears at this point
to be in good shape with Hubble

830
00:56:10.300 --> 00:56:15.367
now essentially back in business
with six new gyroscopes.

831
00:56:19.501 --> 00:56:21.100
-Okay.

832
00:56:25.067 --> 00:56:28.667
You are clear to turn around.
-Okay.

833
00:56:28.667 --> 00:56:30.467
Coming around.

834
00:56:30.467 --> 00:56:33.334
Going to swing that right door
towards me.

835
00:56:33.334 --> 00:56:37.300
-I got the right door.
See?

836
00:56:37.300 --> 00:56:38.868
-All right.

837
00:56:41.067 --> 00:56:44.167
-Astronauts Steve Smith
and John Grunsfeld now,

838
00:56:44.167 --> 00:56:47.501
Steve Smith on the left
and John Grunsfeld on the right,

839
00:56:47.501 --> 00:56:49.567
have now been through 5 hours,

840
00:56:49.567 --> 00:56:52.400
17 1/2 minutes
into the space walk.

841
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:57.534
The crew members now have
completed the Nick Moss exercise

842
00:56:57.534 --> 00:57:01.968
that is removing bayonet caps
and opening valves

843
00:57:01.968 --> 00:57:05.367
on the coolant end
and the coolant outlines,

844
00:57:05.367 --> 00:57:08.667
that to allow
any residual coolant

845
00:57:08.667 --> 00:57:10.334
that may be frozen
in those lines

846
00:57:10.334 --> 00:57:13.734
to dissipate
in the vacuum of space,

847
00:57:13.734 --> 00:57:19.601
and that task designed
to prepare for the installation

848
00:57:19.601 --> 00:57:21.067
of a new coolant system

849
00:57:21.067 --> 00:57:27.200
for that Near Infrared Camera
and Multi-Object Spectrometer,

850
00:57:27.200 --> 00:57:29.701
which was installed
on the last servicing mission

851
00:57:29.701 --> 00:57:31.801
in February of 1997.

852
00:57:31.801 --> 00:57:33.801
-...we just have to get
my feet and arms...

853
00:57:33.801 --> 00:57:35.667
-That task now complete,

854
00:57:35.667 --> 00:57:38.968
crew members are closing
the aft shroud doors,

855
00:57:38.968 --> 00:57:40.734
and once that's completed,

856
00:57:40.734 --> 00:57:42.467
they'll move on
to the next task, again,

857
00:57:42.467 --> 00:57:45.534
which is to install those six
Voltage/Temperature

858
00:57:45.534 --> 00:57:50.734
Improvement Kits,
basically voltage regulators,

859
00:57:50.734 --> 00:57:54.334
to ensure that the Hubble's
10-year-old

860
00:57:54.334 --> 00:57:55.801
batteries do not overheat.

861
00:57:55.801 --> 00:57:59.100
The batteries are actually
working fine, but as they age,

862
00:57:59.100 --> 00:58:04.000
there is always a consideration
of those batteries

863
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:07.534
overheating during the charge
and discharge cycle,

864
00:58:07.534 --> 00:58:10.901
and so these VIKs, as they're
known by their acronym,

865
00:58:10.901 --> 00:58:12.968
Voltage/Temperature
Improvement Kits,

866
00:58:12.968 --> 00:58:17.067
will be installed to ensure that
the batteries do not overheat,

867
00:58:17.067 --> 00:58:18.667
and mainly a precaution,

868
00:58:18.667 --> 00:58:23.200
but one that the Hubble team
would like done today,

869
00:58:23.200 --> 00:58:27.634
if possible, before the crew
members come back inside.

870
00:58:27.634 --> 00:58:28.834
-Okay.

871
00:58:28.834 --> 00:58:30.734
Moving up and over
on the body deck forward.

872
00:58:30.734 --> 00:58:31.901
It's better, Steve.

873
00:58:31.901 --> 00:58:35.300
-Okay.

874
00:58:35.300 --> 00:58:37.534
-Let me tell you what I've got:

875
00:58:37.534 --> 00:58:42.067
3 o'clock into the bridge rail.

876
00:58:42.067 --> 00:58:44.634
12 o'clock
on the articulating socket...

877
00:58:46.534 --> 00:58:49.200
...with a pitch,
but that pin is in.

878
00:58:49.200 --> 00:58:51.868
The clock near the PFR at six.

879
00:58:51.868 --> 00:58:54.634
The roll is bravo point five,

880
00:58:54.634 --> 00:58:57.734
and the pitch
on the footplate is 10,

881
00:58:57.734 --> 00:59:01.634
and I've got two green stripes
on the bridge rail.

882
00:59:01.634 --> 00:59:03.868
-Steve, the pitch should be 11
on the footplate.

883
00:59:03.868 --> 00:59:09.868
-Okay.
-I think 10 is better

884
00:59:09.868 --> 00:59:11.734
for payload bay door clearance.

885
00:59:11.734 --> 00:59:14.400
-Okay.
We have a view of it now.

886
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.334
We'll record that and make sure
Houston sees it.

887
00:59:16.334 --> 00:59:17.767
-Okay.

888
00:59:17.767 --> 00:59:20.200
Jean-François, can you take me
6 feet to my right. please?

889
00:59:20.200 --> 00:59:22.100
-That's well
within the, like...

890
00:59:24.901 --> 00:59:26.133
-Discovery, Houston.

891
00:59:26.133 --> 00:59:29.267
-Okay.
Now get the big caddy.

892
00:59:29.267 --> 00:59:30.567
-Discovery, Houston.

893
00:59:30.567 --> 00:59:36.200
PTC settings for EV2, alpha one,
counterclockwise two,

894
00:59:36.200 --> 00:59:37.801
two decimal five.

895
00:59:42.133 --> 00:59:47.200
-One, two.

896
00:59:47.200 --> 00:59:50.767
Beginning the lower left.

897
00:59:50.767 --> 00:59:52.067
-This is Mission
Control Houston.

898
00:59:52.067 --> 00:59:55.334
The crew members now have closed
the aft shroud doors,

899
00:59:55.334 --> 00:59:58.367
and the next step is to bolt

900
00:59:58.367 --> 01:00:01.167
the fixed-head star trackers
back into place.

901
01:00:01.167 --> 01:00:03.634
-...whether you recommend us
doing the MFR swap.

902
01:00:03.634 --> 01:00:05.467
-One, two...

903
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:09.467
-NIV, we're discussing
that right now.

904
01:00:09.467 --> 01:00:10.767
-We'll be right back to you.

905
01:00:17.868 --> 01:00:19.567
-Okay. Doors open.

906
01:00:19.567 --> 01:00:22.868
[ Speaks indistinctly ]

907
01:00:22.868 --> 01:00:24.934
-Out.

908
01:00:24.934 --> 01:00:27.100
-Then you'll stay at the door,
Sir John.

909
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:30.501
-Roger that.

910
01:00:30.501 --> 01:00:34.334
-Perhaps Steve could do that
for you, actually.

911
01:00:34.334 --> 01:00:36.667
-[Indistinct]
Actually, with this caddy on,

912
01:00:36.667 --> 01:00:40.167
I think it's the easiest
push the door that way.

913
01:00:45.067 --> 01:00:46.968
-Copy.
Charlie, to be clear.

914
01:00:46.968 --> 01:00:49.801
So John, bravo is already
connected?

915
01:00:49.801 --> 01:00:51.467
-Bravo is connected, yes.
-Oh, I missed that one.

916
01:00:51.467 --> 01:00:54.868
-Okay.
-All three are connected.

917
01:00:57.467 --> 01:00:59.801
-And can you give me
the serial number on Charlie?

918
01:00:59.801 --> 01:01:03.267
-Affirmative, 0, 1, 4, foxtrot.

919
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:09.167
Now I've got my Velcro
work to do.

920
01:01:09.167 --> 01:01:11.000
-Okay.
We copy 0,1, 4, foxtrot.

921
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:12.601
Well-done, John.

922
01:01:16.734 --> 01:01:19.934
-And, again, John, we'll
have to skip photo closeout

923
01:01:19.934 --> 01:01:21.167
because of the time.

924
01:01:21.167 --> 01:01:22.834
-Copy that.

925
01:01:30.200 --> 01:01:32.300
-Push down on my back.
-Okay.

926
01:01:32.300 --> 01:01:34.167
-Okay, stop.
Stop.

927
01:01:36.167 --> 01:01:38.601
-Let me get in position here.
-Okay.

928
01:01:41.167 --> 01:01:43.734
-I'll count to three, okay?
-Okay.

929
01:01:43.734 --> 01:01:46.801
-We'll go to phase two.

930
01:01:46.801 --> 01:01:48.067
-Okay.

931
01:01:48.067 --> 01:01:49.467
-Okay. You ready?
-Yep.

932
01:01:49.467 --> 01:01:51.501
-One, two, three.

933
01:01:51.501 --> 01:01:53.000
-Do that again.
-Okay.

934
01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:55.234
One, two, three.

935
01:01:59.634 --> 01:02:00.868
-Thought that would happen.

936
01:02:00.868 --> 01:02:02.234
Just the foam kind of terminated
after a while.

937
01:02:02.234 --> 01:02:03.300
-Wait.

938
01:02:03.300 --> 01:02:04.367
I think you need to be
on the right.

939
01:02:04.367 --> 01:02:05.467
-Yep.
Let's do it one more time.

940
01:02:05.467 --> 01:02:07.534
I think we almost got it.
-Okay.

941
01:02:07.534 --> 01:02:08.701
-Tell me when you're ready.
-I'm ready.

942
01:02:08.701 --> 01:02:09.934
-You're going to push
on me, right?

943
01:02:09.934 --> 01:02:12.567
-Yep.
-One, two, three.

944
01:02:18.200 --> 01:02:19.634
-How far off is it?

945
01:02:19.634 --> 01:02:21.000
-I think we can get it.
Hold on.

946
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:22.300
-Okay.

947
01:02:26.734 --> 01:02:28.400
You guys got it?

948
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:29.501
You got it?
-Yep.

949
01:02:29.501 --> 01:02:30.934
-Okay.

950
01:02:37.968 --> 01:02:40.067
-And the tool caddy now
has been removed

951
01:02:40.067 --> 01:02:41.434
from
the Manipulator Foot Restraint

952
01:02:41.434 --> 01:02:43.534
on the end
of the shuttle's robot arm,

953
01:02:43.534 --> 01:02:48.267
that now being placed inside
the airlock by John Grunsfeld.

954
01:02:48.267 --> 01:02:53.534
-Let's see.
One-eighty, 180, okay.

955
01:02:53.534 --> 01:02:55.467
So I think you already did that,
huh, John?

956
01:02:55.467 --> 01:02:57.234
-That's basically
where I was, yeah.

957
01:02:57.234 --> 01:02:58.367
-Okay.

958
01:02:58.367 --> 01:02:59.734
-You're good to zero,
zero, zero.

959
01:03:04.033 --> 01:03:06.634
-Do you copy that, Steve?
-Yeah, zero, zero, zero.

960
01:03:06.634 --> 01:03:06.634
