the sound barrier.

173
00:13:43.267 --> 00:13:46.667
Already 2 miles in altitude,
1 1/2 miles downrange.

174
00:13:46.667 --> 00:13:48.734
leaving an incandescent
trail behind it,

175
00:13:48.734 --> 00:13:50.567
Columbia headed for Hubble.

176
00:13:50.567 --> 00:13:53.267
Hubble almost directly over
the Cape at this moment.

177
00:13:56.167 --> 00:13:58.234
Three engines now
throttling down,

178
00:13:58.234 --> 00:14:02.634
soon to throttle back up to 104%
of rated performance.

179
00:14:02.634 --> 00:14:04.667
The main engines,
along with the three fuel cells

180
00:14:04.667 --> 00:14:08.701
and three hydraulic power units
all functioning normally.

181
00:14:08.701 --> 00:14:09.934
Standing by.

182
00:14:09.934 --> 00:14:12.234
-Columbia, Houston, you are
go at throttle up.

183
00:14:14.400 --> 00:14:16.601
-Columbia copy.
Still at throttle up.

184
00:14:16.601 --> 00:14:18.901
-That throttle up call
from CAPCOM Mark Polansky

185
00:14:18.901 --> 00:14:21.367
acknowledged by commander
Scott Altman aboard Columbia.

186
00:14:21.367 --> 00:14:23.934
Altman joined on the flight deck
by pilot Duane Carey,

187
00:14:23.934 --> 00:14:26.067
flight engineer Nancy Currie
and mission specialists

188
00:14:26.067 --> 00:14:28.200
John Grunsfeld,
Rick Linnehan,

189
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.300
Jim Newman and Mike Massimino
seated down on the mid-deck.

190
00:14:35.734 --> 00:14:37.834
Columbia
tracking right down the pike,

191
00:14:37.834 --> 00:14:40.834
15 miles in altitude.
11 1/2 miles downrange.

192
00:14:40.834 --> 00:14:42.634
heading due from
the Kennedy Space Center

193
00:14:42.634 --> 00:14:46.667
for an altitude of 350 statute
miles in pursuit of Hubble.

194
00:14:50.567 --> 00:14:52.667
One minute, 45 seconds
into the flight,

195
00:14:52.667 --> 00:14:56.133
about 15 seconds prior to
solid rocker booster separation.

196
00:15:00.434 --> 00:15:02.868
Standing by for SRB separation.

197
00:15:15.133 --> 00:15:17.968
Booster officer confirms
a good SRB separation.

198
00:15:17.968 --> 00:15:19.100
Guidance now converging.

199
00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:20.567
Columbia's on-board
computers

200
00:15:20.567 --> 00:15:23.067
commanding the main engine
nozzles to gently swivel.

201
00:15:23.067 --> 00:15:25.601
-Columbia, Houston
to engine Ben.

202
00:15:28.234 --> 00:15:30.534
-Houston, we copy
to engine Ben.

203
00:15:30.534 --> 00:15:32.801
-That call from CAPCOM
Mark Polansky indicates

204
00:15:32.801 --> 00:15:34.367
that if one engine
should fail right now,

205
00:15:34.367 --> 00:15:36.601
Columbia could make
a transoceanic abort

206
00:15:36.601 --> 00:15:38.300
to Ben Guerir, Morocco.

207
00:15:38.300 --> 00:15:41.834
However, as it climbs into dawn,
Columbia right on the money,

208
00:15:41.834 --> 00:15:44.133
aiming the shuttle
for a precise keyhole in space

209
00:15:44.133 --> 00:15:45.734
for main engine cutoff.

210
00:15:49.167 --> 00:15:51.501
-Thank you very much,
but the thanks

211
00:15:51.501 --> 00:15:53.267
and the congratulations

212
00:15:53.267 --> 00:15:55.133
and the adulation
goes to all of you.

213
00:15:55.133 --> 00:15:57.701
Well done, outstanding effort,
unbelievable.

214
00:15:57.701 --> 00:15:59.367
Thank you.

215
00:15:59.367 --> 00:16:00.567
We have George --

216
00:16:00.567 --> 00:16:02.067
Matter of fact,
George Page, I think,

217
00:16:02.067 --> 00:16:05.767
would be exceptionally proud of
the amazing accomplishment you

218
00:16:05.767 --> 00:16:07.467
all pulled off this morning.

219
00:16:07.467 --> 00:16:10.400
And, certainly, his legacy,
and that of all of you,

220
00:16:10.400 --> 00:16:11.801
will continue to pass along,

221
00:16:11.801 --> 00:16:14.467
will certainly stand in this
great historic tradition.

222
00:16:14.467 --> 00:16:15.934
Well done.

223
00:16:15.934 --> 00:16:18.200
Have three very distinguished
guests here with me

224
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.400
this morning who have all been
stunned by the amazing feat

225
00:16:22.400 --> 00:16:24.133
that you pull off at each
and every time,

226
00:16:24.133 --> 00:16:26.400
but, again,
witnessed this morning.

227
00:16:26.400 --> 00:16:30.267
First and foremost
is Rear Admiral John Stufflebeem

228
00:16:30.267 --> 00:16:32.434
who you probably see
on TV a fair amount.

229
00:16:32.434 --> 00:16:35.367
He's the guy that does
the daily explanation

230
00:16:35.367 --> 00:16:39.033
of the efforts in Afghanistan
and what we're doing there

231
00:16:39.033 --> 00:16:42.701
during the course
of the continuing efforts

232
00:16:42.701 --> 00:16:45.667
to deal with
the terrorist attacks there.

233
00:16:45.667 --> 00:16:46.901
Dr. John Marburger,

234
00:16:46.901 --> 00:16:49.334
who is President Bush's
science advisor,

235
00:16:49.334 --> 00:16:51.334
is here to join us as well,

236
00:16:51.334 --> 00:16:53.467
and my good friend
Admiral Skip Bowman

237
00:16:53.467 --> 00:16:57.234
who is the current guardian
of the Rickover legacy

238
00:16:57.234 --> 00:16:58.968
of the Navy Nuclear Program.

239
00:16:58.968 --> 00:17:02.300
He's here to observe and realize
the parallels of what he does

240
00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:05.200
and what we do
are exactly the same.

241
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:08.133
So, in that regard, I think all
three gents

242
00:17:08.133 --> 00:17:10.567
have had an opportunity here
to see what an amazing job

243
00:17:10.567 --> 00:17:12.400
you all do each and every time.

244
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.367
But, for me,
this my first launch.

245
00:17:14.367 --> 00:17:16.133
This was a truly special moment.

246
00:17:16.133 --> 00:17:17.701
Thank you all very much.
Appreciate it.

247
00:17:17.701 --> 00:17:19.300
Congratulations.

248
00:17:25.868 --> 00:17:27.667
-Scooter, what we've been
looking at with that

249
00:17:27.667 --> 00:17:32.934
is that it appears
that we have a possible

250
00:17:32.934 --> 00:17:36.901
restricted flow somewhere
in the system on loop one.

251
00:17:36.901 --> 00:17:40.834
And right now, there are no
impacts to the mission at all.

252
00:17:40.834 --> 00:17:43.434
However, we just want
to give you a heads-up.

253
00:17:43.434 --> 00:17:45.133
ECOM is taking a hard look

254
00:17:45.133 --> 00:17:48.601
and will be monitoring the
performance over the next day

255
00:17:48.601 --> 00:17:52.000
or so to come up
with a good game plan

256
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.834
and an understanding of exactly
what's going to be affected,

257
00:17:54.834 --> 00:17:56.434
if anything.

258
00:17:58.734 --> 00:18:00.367
-Okay, we copy that.

259
00:18:00.367 --> 00:18:03.934
Let us know if there's anything
we can do to help troubleshoot.

260
00:18:06.501 --> 00:18:08.167
-We'll certainly do that,
Scooter.

261
00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:12.400
-This is Mission
Control Houston.

262
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.167
That discussion between
CAPCOM Mark Polansky

263
00:18:15.167 --> 00:18:17.200
here in Mission Control
and Commander Scott Altman

264
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.801
on-board Columbia
having to do with a message

265
00:18:20.801 --> 00:18:24.701
that was received on board
the orbiter a short time ago

266
00:18:24.701 --> 00:18:30.133
regarding a somewhat reduced
flow of Freon

267
00:18:30.133 --> 00:18:33.934
through one of two Freon loops
that exist in the radiator

268
00:18:33.934 --> 00:18:36.901
on the payload bay doors
of the orbiter, in this case,

269
00:18:36.901 --> 00:18:38.934
Freon loop number one
which is on the port,

270
00:18:38.934 --> 00:18:42.400
or left-side,
radiator of Columbia,

271
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.033
has exhibited
a slightly reduced flow.

272
00:18:45.033 --> 00:18:48.801
No impact to mission
operations at this point.

273
00:18:48.801 --> 00:18:50.100
The flight control team,

274
00:18:50.100 --> 00:18:52.601
particularly the environmental
systems officer

275
00:18:52.601 --> 00:18:54.100
here in Mission Control,

276
00:18:54.100 --> 00:18:58.601
will be carefully watching
the operation of that Freon loop

277
00:18:58.601 --> 00:19:01.634
during the course
of the next several days

278
00:19:01.634 --> 00:19:03.901
to see what
its characteristics are.

279
00:19:05.968 --> 00:19:09.033
-Columbia, Houston, we see
your happy faces on board,

280
00:19:09.033 --> 00:19:12.200
and we're ready
for the downlink.

281
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.067
-Okay, we just wanted
to say hello,

282
00:19:15.067 --> 00:19:19.534
let you see our happy faces,
and here comes the downlink.

283
00:19:19.534 --> 00:19:22.367
[ No sound ]
