-Good morning, Columbia.
That was Limp Bizkit

8
00:00:55.033 --> 00:00:57.501
and the "Mission: Impossible 2"
movie theme song.

9
00:00:57.501 --> 00:00:59.701
It was for the entire crew.

10
00:00:59.701 --> 00:01:01.200
Well, after 4 spectacular days

11
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.167
of impossibly
difficult upgrades,

12
00:01:03.167 --> 00:01:05.734
Hubble is sporting a new,
improved set of solar rays,

13
00:01:05.734 --> 00:01:08.133
a new power system
and camera system,

14
00:01:08.133 --> 00:01:09.901
and today, you'll give it
a high-tech cooler

15
00:01:09.901 --> 00:01:12.400
for its infrared camera.

16
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.200
Keep up the great work,
and we'll do our best down here

17
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.601
to help you.

18
00:01:17.601 --> 00:01:19.334
-And good morning Houston.

19
00:01:21.834 --> 00:01:23.767
Thanks for the great
wake-up music.

20
00:01:23.767 --> 00:01:25.534
Sounds good.

21
00:01:25.534 --> 00:01:28.801
We're ready to continue
"Mission: Impossible" 3B

22
00:01:28.801 --> 00:01:31.367
with our last EVA.

23
00:01:31.367 --> 00:01:32.968
Looking forward to it.

24
00:01:36.133 --> 00:01:38.934
-Houston, Columbia for Hubble.
We're ready for the slew.

25
00:01:42.834 --> 00:01:45.100
-And Digger, we'll give you
the call for free drift.

26
00:01:45.100 --> 00:01:46.434
They're still doing
some commanding,

27
00:01:46.434 --> 00:01:50.200
and we'll have the heads-up
on the time in a moment.

28
00:01:54.300 --> 00:01:57.234
-A good view of the Hubble Space
Telescope as Columbia

29
00:01:57.234 --> 00:01:59.901
passes over the Sahara Desert

30
00:01:59.901 --> 00:02:02.701
and the northern portion
of Africa

31
00:02:02.701 --> 00:02:05.667
at an altitude
of 360 statute miles.

32
00:02:05.667 --> 00:02:07.534
Commands have been sent
by the Space Telescope

33
00:02:07.534 --> 00:02:08.767
Operations Control Center

34
00:02:08.767 --> 00:02:11.767
to begin the repositioning
of the solar arrays

35
00:02:11.767 --> 00:02:14.601
to provide access
to the face of the telescope

36
00:02:14.601 --> 00:02:17.667
and the aft shroud that houses
the near infrared camera

37
00:02:17.667 --> 00:02:19.534
and Multi-Object Spectrometer,

38
00:02:19.534 --> 00:02:22.534
which is the focus of attention
today for John Grunsfeld

39
00:02:22.534 --> 00:02:26.334
and Rick Linnehan as they
install a cryocooling device

40
00:02:26.334 --> 00:02:28.868
and mount a radiator
to the side of the observatory

41
00:02:28.868 --> 00:02:32.968
13 feet high that will attempt
to revive the operation

42
00:02:32.968 --> 00:02:35.501
of the infrared
scientific instrument.

43
00:02:35.501 --> 00:02:37.901
On the far right side
of your screen,

44
00:02:37.901 --> 00:02:39.868
you can see one
of the fixed-head star trackers

45
00:02:39.868 --> 00:02:41.367
on the Hubble Space Telescope.

46
00:02:41.367 --> 00:02:43.567
Just above it, that wide
rectangular area

47
00:02:43.567 --> 00:02:46.634
is the location of the Wide
Field/Planetary Camera,

48
00:02:46.634 --> 00:02:49.868
which has been in operation
since December of 1993,

49
00:02:49.868 --> 00:02:52.400
installed on the first
Hubble Space Telescope

50
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.000
servicing mission.

51
00:03:00.501 --> 00:03:01.701
-Columbia, Houston,
we're going to be

52
00:03:01.701 --> 00:03:03.400
handing over to TDRSS West,

53
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.767
courtesy of the folks
in Diego Garcia at the moment.

54
00:03:06.767 --> 00:03:10.033
When we get AOS West,

55
00:03:10.033 --> 00:03:13.200
until about 2010
will be intermittent calm,

56
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.434
and it's probably going to be
deep off the tail,

57
00:03:15.434 --> 00:03:18.467
so we may not be able
to talk at all.

58
00:03:22.367 --> 00:03:24.534
-Okay, Marty.
I copy that.

59
00:03:24.534 --> 00:03:26.501
However, I just want
to compliment

60
00:03:26.501 --> 00:03:29.367
all the folks out there
at Diego Garcia and Garden Spot.

61
00:03:29.367 --> 00:03:31.400
I've stopped by a couple
of times

62
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.267
and appreciate the good work
that they do for us out there.

63
00:03:37.868 --> 00:03:40.334
-Copy, Scooter.
I'm sure they appreciate it.

64
00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:15.968
-The outer thermal cover
on the airlock to Columbia

65
00:04:15.968 --> 00:04:17.534
has been popped open.

66
00:04:17.534 --> 00:04:21.000
The hatch will be rotated
inward a moment from now.

67
00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:31.300
And the hatch is now open
as well,

68
00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:33.434
the airlock down to vacuum.

69
00:04:33.434 --> 00:04:34.901
John Grunsfeld and Rick Linnehan

70
00:04:34.901 --> 00:04:36.801
preparing for
the final spacewalk of this

71
00:04:36.801 --> 00:04:38.400
Hubble-servicing mission.

72
00:04:45.033 --> 00:04:47.367
And downlink television
from the elbow camera

73
00:04:47.367 --> 00:04:50.400
on Columbia's robot arm
showing Rick Linnehan at the end

74
00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:52.901
of the shuttle's
Remote Manipulator System.

75
00:04:52.901 --> 00:04:54.267
Scott Altman at the controls

76
00:04:54.267 --> 00:04:57.667
from the aft
flight deck of Columbia,

77
00:04:57.667 --> 00:05:00.701
and you're looking at
the helmet-mounted camera

78
00:05:00.701 --> 00:05:02.834
on Rick Linnehan's helmet

79
00:05:02.834 --> 00:05:05.367
as he works
to disengage the bolts

80
00:05:05.367 --> 00:05:08.367
and open up the aft shroud doors
on the telescope one more time.

81
00:05:08.367 --> 00:05:10.167
-Rick, seven turns.
-Okay.

82
00:05:10.167 --> 00:05:11.767
Starting turns.

83
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.734
-Columbia, Houston, good DD
from Rick.

84
00:05:20.734 --> 00:05:27.000
-There's one, two, three.
-Seven turns, Mike?

85
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.467
-Four.
-Confirm, seven turns.

86
00:05:29.467 --> 00:05:37.501
-Five, six, seven turns.

87
00:05:40.334 --> 00:05:42.067
I'll tell you
when I'm in position.

88
00:05:42.067 --> 00:05:43.234
-Okay.

89
00:05:43.234 --> 00:05:44.367
I'm going to replace
the pip pin, John.

90
00:05:48.701 --> 00:05:51.734
-Rick Linnehan now working
to remove retention pins

91
00:05:51.734 --> 00:05:54.033
so that the final latch
can pop open

92
00:05:54.033 --> 00:05:56.834
and enable him to open up
the aft shroud doors,

93
00:05:56.834 --> 00:05:58.601
exposing the near
infrared camera

94
00:05:58.601 --> 00:06:00.734
and Multi-Object Spectrometer.
-Okay.

95
00:06:00.734 --> 00:06:03.434
I am bringing
the handle latch open.

96
00:06:03.434 --> 00:06:04.968
-Yeah.
Here they come.

97
00:06:04.968 --> 00:06:07.067
-Okay.
-Okay.

98
00:06:07.067 --> 00:06:09.667
-And the doors are open on
the Hubble Space Telescope.

99
00:06:09.667 --> 00:06:11.067
-Bringing down the left.

100
00:06:11.067 --> 00:06:12.534
-Got the left.
Are you clear?

101
00:06:12.534 --> 00:06:14.801
-Scooter, bring me back
in the bay, forward

102
00:06:14.801 --> 00:06:16.634
to you, standby, John.

103
00:06:16.634 --> 00:06:20.567
Forward -- Let's come
1 foot forward. please.

104
00:06:20.567 --> 00:06:21.968
-Okay, copy.
One foot forward.

105
00:06:21.968 --> 00:06:23.567
Thanks.

106
00:06:28.601 --> 00:06:30.400
-Okay, I'm clear, John.
-Okay.

107
00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:31.934
-You're good to open it.

108
00:06:31.934 --> 00:06:33.133
Okay, all stop, Scooter.

109
00:06:33.133 --> 00:06:35.834
-Take a peek inside.
-I am right now, John.

110
00:06:35.834 --> 00:06:38.234
I've got my floods on inside,
and I'm looking.

111
00:06:38.234 --> 00:06:39.667
It looks nice and clean.

112
00:06:39.667 --> 00:06:41.734
-I don't see any
floating debris at all.

113
00:06:41.734 --> 00:06:43.767
-Concur.
-Good pins.

114
00:06:43.767 --> 00:06:45.767
-And, Rick, you'll want
to reinstall the pip pin.

115
00:06:45.767 --> 00:06:47.367
-Yeah.
That's coming up, Mike.

116
00:06:49.868 --> 00:06:54.200
-A good view of John Grunsfeld
on the left

117
00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:56.400
as the free-floating astronaut,

118
00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:59.534
tethered both to the telescope
as well as to the payload bay.

119
00:06:59.534 --> 00:07:01.968
Rick Linnehan riding
the end of the robot arm.

120
00:07:01.968 --> 00:07:04.200
He will remain at the end
of the through the installation

121
00:07:04.200 --> 00:07:05.934
of the experimental cryocooler

122
00:07:05.934 --> 00:07:07.334
in the aft shroud
of the telescope,

123
00:07:07.334 --> 00:07:10.901
right in front of the NICMOS
scientific instrument.

124
00:07:10.901 --> 00:07:14.801
We're about 3 minutes away from
sailing into an orbital sunrise.

125
00:07:14.801 --> 00:07:17.167
Columbia
currently over the southern

126
00:07:17.167 --> 00:07:18.734
Gulf Coast of the United States

127
00:07:18.734 --> 00:07:21.767
at an altitude of
360 statue miles.

128
00:07:21.767 --> 00:07:25.300
-And it's still here,
the upper handle,

129
00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:28.033
looks like about
maybe 6 inches or so.

130
00:07:28.033 --> 00:07:30.200
-Rick, you have about
2 feet on your head.

131
00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:32.767
-Yeah, the head looks good.

132
00:07:32.767 --> 00:07:34.267
-Okay, let's stop here
for a moment, please.

133
00:07:34.267 --> 00:07:35.534
-All right.
Yeah, I've stopped.

134
00:07:35.534 --> 00:07:36.667
John, we'll stop.

135
00:07:36.667 --> 00:07:42.367
-Thank you.
-Rick Linnehan is in the process

136
00:07:42.367 --> 00:07:45.701
of removing the cryo vent line
for the NICMOS instrument

137
00:07:45.701 --> 00:07:49.067
and temporarily
stowing it in a bag.

138
00:07:49.067 --> 00:07:51.501
-Okay, Mike, if I have a go,
I can start down.

139
00:07:51.501 --> 00:07:52.968
-Go ahead.

140
00:07:52.968 --> 00:07:54.334
-You're looking right into
the Hubble Space Telescope.

141
00:07:54.334 --> 00:07:57.334
On the left side
is the near infrared camera

142
00:07:57.334 --> 00:07:58.834
and Multi-Object Spectrometer.

143
00:07:58.834 --> 00:08:00.868
On the right, right in front
of Rick Linnehan

144
00:08:00.868 --> 00:08:04.200
at the front of his helmet

145
00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:07.033
is the space telescope
imaging spectrograph.

146
00:08:10.534 --> 00:08:11.701
-Okay. Thank you.

147
00:08:11.701 --> 00:08:13.400
-Here we go.
-Very good.

148
00:08:13.400 --> 00:08:14.701
Nice job.

149
00:08:14.701 --> 00:08:19.767
-Grunsfeld snaking the obsolete
cryo vent valve

150
00:08:19.767 --> 00:08:21.367
underneath a center handrail

151
00:08:21.367 --> 00:08:23.934
to Rick Linnehan
who is stowing it in a bag.

152
00:08:23.934 --> 00:08:26.200
-Yeah, that is a lot
of memory to it.

153
00:08:26.200 --> 00:08:27.734
-I guess that would be
called a serpent.

154
00:08:27.734 --> 00:08:30.601
-Mm-hmm.
A constrictor.

155
00:08:30.601 --> 00:08:33.100
-Putting that on
the step, please.

156
00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:34.167
-Alpha three.

157
00:08:34.167 --> 00:08:36.534
-Alpha three.
-Counterclockwise two.

158
00:08:36.534 --> 00:08:40.734
-Counterclockwise two.
-Ten decimal five.

159
00:08:40.734 --> 00:08:42.167
-Okay.

160
00:08:42.167 --> 00:08:44.934
-Six turns on the ground
strap bolt.

161
00:08:44.934 --> 00:08:57.868
-Roger that.
-Okay, Rick.

162
00:08:57.868 --> 00:09:03.467
Once you're comfortable, you can
stow that bag on the stanchion.

163
00:09:03.467 --> 00:09:05.067
-Yeah, it's aboard, Mike.

164
00:09:20.934 --> 00:09:23.334
-Next up for John Grunsfeld
and Rick Linnehan

165
00:09:23.334 --> 00:09:27.334
will be the disengagement
of the NICMOS ground strap

166
00:09:27.334 --> 00:09:29.234
from the scientific
instrument itself,

167
00:09:29.234 --> 00:09:31.167
and the installation
of the cryocooler

168
00:09:31.167 --> 00:09:33.734
ground strap adapter on NICMOS.

169
00:09:33.734 --> 00:09:35.634
-Standby.
I bumped it down to two.

170
00:09:39.734 --> 00:09:41.734
-Grunsfeld and Linnehan
now 1 hour,

171
00:09:41.734 --> 00:09:43.934
16 minutes
into this morning's spacewalk.

172
00:09:43.934 --> 00:09:46.801
They will spend the morning
as electricians and plumbers

173
00:09:46.801 --> 00:09:51.100
to help revive this dormant
scientific instrument.

174
00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:57.467
-Ten point five.
-Good settings.

175
00:09:57.467 --> 00:10:00.834
Extension fully extended,
and now it's complete,

176
00:10:00.834 --> 00:10:03.334
and I'm going to stow this
in front for a second.

177
00:10:08.834 --> 00:10:10.434
-Thanks, buddy.

178
00:10:23.901 --> 00:10:25.200
Okay, Scooter, we need
to come down

179
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.767
into the bay, please, 2 feet.
-Copy that.

180
00:10:27.767 --> 00:10:29.634
I was just about to ask
for a GCA.

181
00:10:29.634 --> 00:10:31.234
-Thanks, man.

182
00:10:37.334 --> 00:10:40.567
Okay, all stop, please.

183
00:10:40.567 --> 00:10:41.868
-All stop.

184
00:10:41.868 --> 00:10:45.434
-Okay, opening up
the cover, Mike.

185
00:10:45.434 --> 00:10:48.200
-Copy, Rick.
-And there she be.

186
00:10:51.801 --> 00:10:54.701
-Rick Linnehan has opened
up the cover to the enclosure

187
00:10:54.701 --> 00:10:57.033
in which the NICMOS cryocooler
is located,

188
00:10:57.033 --> 00:10:59.133
and the second axial carrier,

189
00:10:59.133 --> 00:11:01.767
the centermost
cargo-carrying compartment

190
00:11:01.767 --> 00:11:03.000
in Columbia's cargo bay.

191
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.033
-As a reminder,

192
00:11:04.033 --> 00:11:05.934
tether before the last bolt.
-Okay.

193
00:11:05.934 --> 00:11:08.334
How many bolts?
Four, right?

194
00:11:08.334 --> 00:11:10.734
-Affirmative.
-Okay.

195
00:11:10.734 --> 00:11:15.334
Scooter, if you could
take me down in the bay,

196
00:11:15.334 --> 00:11:18.234
please, 6 inches.

197
00:11:18.234 --> 00:11:20.667
-Once Linnehan receives
the cryocooler,

198
00:11:20.667 --> 00:11:23.601
he will open up
two bypass valves

199
00:11:23.601 --> 00:11:25.834
that ultimately will
allow the neon gas

200
00:11:25.834 --> 00:11:27.767
to flow
into the NICMOS instrument.

201
00:11:27.767 --> 00:11:29.367
-...down here.

202
00:11:34.434 --> 00:11:39.634
-Okay, I see a piece of debris
floating out of the NCC.

203
00:11:39.634 --> 00:11:43.100
Scooter, bring me out from
the bay, please, 6 inches.

204
00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:46.434
-Coming.
-Heading to the aft shroud.

205
00:11:53.267 --> 00:11:58.367
-It looks like a small piece
of tie wrap

206
00:11:58.367 --> 00:12:02.234
or something that was inside,
and I've caught it.

207
00:12:02.234 --> 00:12:05.033
I don't have a trash bag.
Going to hold onto it

208
00:12:05.033 --> 00:12:07.100
until I can get back around
to the workstation.

209
00:12:07.100 --> 00:12:09.667
-If you hold it for about
1 minute. I can get it.

210
00:12:09.667 --> 00:12:11.567
-Okay, I'll hold
onto it for you.

211
00:12:11.567 --> 00:12:14.100
-Mike, I've got it fixed
under harness,

212
00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:15.701
and there's a picture of it.

213
00:12:19.801 --> 00:12:22.200
Looks like, like I said,

214
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:27.100
a piece of the standard
white tie-down material

215
00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:31.968
they used in the suits
or to hold down cables.

216
00:12:31.968 --> 00:12:33.033
-Okay, Rick.

217
00:12:33.033 --> 00:12:34.834
We're trying to get
a look at that,

218
00:12:34.834 --> 00:12:39.267
and, John, you can go sew
the harness on the station

219
00:12:39.267 --> 00:12:41.567
and retrieve
that piece of FOB.

220
00:12:41.567 --> 00:12:43.767
-Wilco.
-And verify the --

221
00:12:43.767 --> 00:12:57.067
-You doing okay there, buddy?
-Yeah.

222
00:12:57.067 --> 00:12:58.601
I'd like to have this off
when I get a chance.

223
00:12:58.601 --> 00:13:00.267
-Yeah.
Wilco.

224
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.701
-Thanks.

225
00:13:05.701 --> 00:13:08.701
-John Grunsfeld on the upper
left with the red stripes

226
00:13:08.701 --> 00:13:09.934
on his suit retrieving

227
00:13:09.934 --> 00:13:13.901
that small piece of debris
from Rick Linnehan.

228
00:13:13.901 --> 00:13:15.100
It will be stowed in a bag.

229
00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:16.567
No issue there.

230
00:13:16.567 --> 00:13:20.367
Linnehan now working to begin
to disengage a series of bolts

231
00:13:20.367 --> 00:13:23.033
holding the NICMOS cryocooler
in its compartment.

232
00:13:23.033 --> 00:13:24.033
-Hold on, Mike.

233
00:13:24.033 --> 00:13:25.400
Can you move your PTT?
-Yep.

234
00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:28.133
-Okay. I'm going to fold down
my mini workstation.

235
00:13:28.133 --> 00:13:29.834
-Okay.

236
00:13:29.834 --> 00:13:31.534
-And I'm going to
come up over you.

237
00:13:34.501 --> 00:13:36.868
-Okay, Mike,
third bolt untethered.

238
00:13:36.868 --> 00:13:39.000
I'm going for the fourth bolt.

239
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.601
-Ten-four.
-Okay, Rick.

240
00:13:42.634 --> 00:13:44.701
-Once this fourth bolt
is disengaged,

241
00:13:44.701 --> 00:13:47.434
Linnehan will be able
to remove the cryocooler

242
00:13:47.434 --> 00:13:52.834
and open up two bypass valves
from which the neon gas

243
00:13:52.834 --> 00:13:56.300
will be able to circulate from
the cryocooler into the NICMOS

244
00:13:56.300 --> 00:13:57.801
instrument
once it's all hooked up.

245
00:13:57.801 --> 00:14:01.801
-Four, five, six.

246
00:14:01.801 --> 00:14:03.868
-Once that is complete,
Linnehan,

247
00:14:03.868 --> 00:14:05.868
holding onto the new cryocooler,

248
00:14:05.868 --> 00:14:08.801
will be able to be maneuvered
by commander Scott Altman,

249
00:14:08.801 --> 00:14:10.968
who's operating the robot arm
this morning,

250
00:14:10.968 --> 00:14:13.167
up to the aft shroud
of the telescope

251
00:14:13.167 --> 00:14:15.334
to begin
the installation process.

252
00:14:15.334 --> 00:14:17.534
-Sure did, Mike.
-Alpha two.

253
00:14:17.534 --> 00:14:22.033
-Alpha two.
-Okay, all stop, please.

254
00:14:22.033 --> 00:14:25.434
-All stop, exactly a foot.
-And I'm ready to remove, Mike.

255
00:14:25.434 --> 00:14:30.200
-Copy, Rick.
-Okay, Scooter.

256
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.834
Ready for motion
to the telescope.

257
00:14:32.834 --> 00:14:36.868
-Copy, going to install.
-NICMOS is out of

258
00:14:36.868 --> 00:14:39.434
it's cargo carrier
as Rick Linnehan

259
00:14:39.434 --> 00:14:41.734
now will be transported back up
to the aft shroud

260
00:14:41.734 --> 00:14:45.534
of the Hubble Space Telescope
to begin the installation.

261
00:14:45.534 --> 00:14:52.667
The cryocooling device
will again be installed

262
00:14:52.667 --> 00:14:55.801
in front of the NICMOS
scientific instrument itself,

263
00:14:55.801 --> 00:14:59.367
and once an associated
external radiator is hooked up,

264
00:14:59.367 --> 00:15:03.267
this cryocooler, which is
an experimental device,

265
00:15:03.267 --> 00:15:08.167
will be activated, and will
spin up a turbine engine

266
00:15:08.167 --> 00:15:11.868
at about 400,000 revolutions per
minute to circulate neon gas,

267
00:15:11.868 --> 00:15:15.567
chilling the infrared detectors
of the dormant NICMOS.

268
00:15:15.567 --> 00:15:16.701
-They just said yesterday

269
00:15:16.701 --> 00:15:19.834
that they finally got
the layout right.

270
00:15:19.834 --> 00:15:22.567
-And --

271
00:15:22.567 --> 00:15:25.067
-Open, cleared from the A site.

272
00:15:25.067 --> 00:15:26.200
-Okay.

273
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.367
Both valves open and
on their Velcro keepers.

274
00:15:30.367 --> 00:15:42.234
-Great work, Rick.
-Okay.

275
00:15:42.234 --> 00:15:44.033
I'm going to come down
to you, John.

276
00:15:44.033 --> 00:15:46.634
-Fine.
-John Grunsfeld now atop

277
00:15:46.634 --> 00:15:48.868
the manipulator foot restraint

278
00:15:48.868 --> 00:15:50.367
at the end of
the shuttle's robot arm

279
00:15:50.367 --> 00:15:53.667
as he and Rick Linnehan
prepare to maneuver

280
00:15:53.667 --> 00:15:55.400
their way down to the MULE,

281
00:15:55.400 --> 00:15:58.100
the Multi-use Lightweight
Equipment Carrier,

282
00:15:58.100 --> 00:15:59.734
just behind Linnehan,

283
00:15:59.734 --> 00:16:02.501
who's wearing the pure
white suit on the right side.

284
00:16:02.501 --> 00:16:04.100
Grunsfeld, of course,
at the end of the arm,

285
00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:06.100
wearing the suit
bearing the red stripes,

286
00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:09.133
where they will begin the work
to open up the compartment

287
00:16:09.133 --> 00:16:12.200
housing the radiator
for the NICMOS cryocooler

288
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.701
repair work this morning.

289
00:16:14.701 --> 00:16:17.400
-I'm ready to start motion.
-Okay, and just a reminder,

290
00:16:17.400 --> 00:16:20.033
when we get back there,
it'll be station 135

291
00:16:20.033 --> 00:16:21.868
right, blue plate, 90 left.

292
00:16:21.868 --> 00:16:24.834
-Thank you.

293
00:16:24.834 --> 00:16:26.334
-Rick, I see you on your way
to the MULE.

294
00:16:26.334 --> 00:16:31.334
-Heading over there, Jim.
-John, you're on your way.

295
00:16:31.334 --> 00:16:32.901
-Thank you.

296
00:17:01.901 --> 00:17:03.467
-Rick, do you have the small,

297
00:17:03.467 --> 00:17:05.567
small paddle
from the down strap?

298
00:17:12.133 --> 00:17:14.434
-When he clears the top,
to come back left?

299
00:17:14.434 --> 00:17:16.334
-Yep.
I'm clear to come back.

300
00:17:27.567 --> 00:17:30.234
-I have that small,
small paddle, John.

301
00:17:30.234 --> 00:17:31.901
-Okay.
-Do you need it?

302
00:17:34.968 --> 00:17:36.801
-It's part of my fishing gear.

303
00:17:36.801 --> 00:17:38.801
When you get there,
you can just come over

304
00:17:38.801 --> 00:17:42.367
and get it to me, okay?

305
00:17:44.968 --> 00:17:47.267
-This view from the
helmet-mounted camera

306
00:17:47.267 --> 00:17:48.667
for John Grunsfeld

307
00:17:48.667 --> 00:17:53.234
now as he is being lowered down
to the cargo compartment

308
00:17:53.234 --> 00:17:57.934
to retrieve this radiator
13 feet high

309
00:17:57.934 --> 00:17:59.634
that will be mounted
on handrails

310
00:17:59.634 --> 00:18:01.868
on the side
of the Hubble Space Telescope

311
00:18:01.868 --> 00:18:05.234
to work in concert
with the new cryocooling device

312
00:18:05.234 --> 00:18:07.701
which has been installed in
the aft shroud of the telescope,

313
00:18:07.701 --> 00:18:09.534
just in front
of the NICMOS instrument.

314
00:18:09.534 --> 00:18:17.434
-Wow.
-Incredible planet we live on.

315
00:18:17.434 --> 00:18:23.167
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

316
00:18:23.167 --> 00:18:24.601
Looks like you got it now.

317
00:18:24.601 --> 00:18:25.901
-Okay, good.
-Okay.

318
00:18:25.901 --> 00:18:27.567
Coming away from the MULE aft.

319
00:18:27.567 --> 00:18:31.133
-Coming slowly away.
-Yep.

320
00:18:31.133 --> 00:18:32.601
Okay, I'm going
to start to rotate it.

321
00:18:32.601 --> 00:18:33.601
-Okay, John.
-You ready?

322
00:18:33.601 --> 00:18:39.067
-Yeah, standby.
-Okay, rotating.

323
00:18:39.067 --> 00:18:41.067
-Okay.

324
00:18:41.067 --> 00:18:43.334
-And we see good clearance.
-Thanks, Rick.

325
00:18:43.334 --> 00:18:44.334
-Thanks, Jim.

326
00:18:44.334 --> 00:18:46.267
-Good clearance
for the radiator.

327
00:18:46.267 --> 00:18:48.234
-How is the mast handling, John?
-I don't know.

328
00:18:48.234 --> 00:18:51.300
I haven't had to
do anything yet.

329
00:18:51.300 --> 00:18:52.901
It's fine.

330
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:03.000
Ah, I get to see the FRCS,
the zero panel.

331
00:19:13.567 --> 00:19:15.534
-Looks like a big
surfboard, John.

332
00:19:31.734 --> 00:19:35.400
-And that's having a good config
now for all of your motion.

333
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:36.968
-Okay.

334
00:19:36.968 --> 00:19:38.367
-Once we're forward to the
telescope, I'll do my footplate.

335
00:19:38.367 --> 00:19:40.667
-Okay, and I'll be
rolling you upright

336
00:19:40.667 --> 00:19:41.868
and bringing you forward now.

337
00:19:41.868 --> 00:19:43.467
-Very good. Thank you.

338
00:19:59.133 --> 00:20:02.701
-Columbia 360 miles above
the earth as John Grunsfeld

339
00:20:02.701 --> 00:20:05.467
is being maneuvered
with the 13-foot-high radiator

340
00:20:05.467 --> 00:20:09.033
to be bolted onto the side, or
actually, latched onto the side

341
00:20:09.033 --> 00:20:11.367
of the Hubble Space Telescope

342
00:20:11.367 --> 00:20:13.234
in the area
between the compartment

343
00:20:13.234 --> 00:20:15.400
housing the NICMOS
scientific instrument

344
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.367
and the fixed-head star trackers
on the observatory.

345
00:20:18.367 --> 00:20:19.701
Columbia
currently traveling over

346
00:20:19.701 --> 00:20:21.300
the northern coast
of South America,

347
00:20:21.300 --> 00:20:23.767
moving from northwest
to southeast,

348
00:20:23.767 --> 00:20:25.534
about to cross the equator.

349
00:20:43.634 --> 00:20:46.167
-Nance, when we get over
the paysite,

350
00:20:46.167 --> 00:20:48.934
that's probably a good time
to stop, and I'll do my turn.

351
00:20:48.934 --> 00:20:52.234
-You bet.
-I've stepped clear of the door.

352
00:20:52.234 --> 00:20:57.000
-Copy.
-I agree, John.

353
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.167
You're looking good
with the door clearance.

354
00:20:59.167 --> 00:21:02.300
You can come in laterally.

355
00:21:02.300 --> 00:21:04.100
-And look clear over the top
of the A-site?

356
00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:05.167
Make sure I do.

357
00:21:05.167 --> 00:21:07.901
-You've got pretty
good clearance.

358
00:21:07.901 --> 00:21:12.434
I wouldn't mind if you came up
another foot or two.

359
00:21:12.434 --> 00:21:14.267
-Okay.
-That's better.

360
00:21:14.267 --> 00:21:16.000
-Okay, him.
Yeah, I was watching him.

361
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:17.400
-Yeah, I'm sorry, Nance.

362
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.601
-Depending on where his hands
are to the right edge --

363
00:21:18.601 --> 00:21:20.000
-I think if you maintain it
like that, son,

364
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.033
you've got good clearance.
-Okay.

365
00:21:22.033 --> 00:21:26.300
-And Nancy can --
She'll handle the rest for you.

366
00:21:26.300 --> 00:21:28.267
Don't go up any higher
with it, though, because --

367
00:21:28.267 --> 00:21:31.701
-Yeah, and he's got about...
-Yeah, he's got about 3 feet.

368
00:21:31.701 --> 00:21:33.167
-...2 1/2, 3 feet to the --

369
00:21:33.167 --> 00:21:34.767
-Okay, great.
Thank you.

370
00:21:40.767 --> 00:21:43.834
-Looking great, Rick.

371
00:21:43.834 --> 00:21:45.534
Hanging on the side
of the Hubble.

372
00:21:50.868 --> 00:21:54.133
-Okay, Nancy, let me
do my turn here, if I could.

373
00:21:54.133 --> 00:21:55.834
-Okay.
It's stopped.

374
00:21:55.834 --> 00:21:57.267
-Okay.

375
00:21:57.267 --> 00:22:01.267
-Like a Hubble bug.
-Okay.

376
00:22:01.267 --> 00:22:03.200
I see it swinging around.
Nicely done.

377
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.267
-Okay.

378
00:22:04.267 --> 00:22:06.300
-Bottom is coming out
a little bit.

379
00:22:06.300 --> 00:22:08.367
-Yeah, I'm doing
my footplate turn.

380
00:22:08.367 --> 00:22:09.501
-There you go.

381
00:22:09.501 --> 00:22:13.100
-You did a good job
with tethering the door.

382
00:22:13.100 --> 00:22:14.667
It's nice and snug.

383
00:22:22.868 --> 00:22:25.033
-Nance, verify,
do you want me 30 right?

384
00:22:28.300 --> 00:22:34.734
-Can confirm 30 right.
I see you at 30 right.

385
00:22:34.734 --> 00:22:38.267
-Thank you.

386
00:22:38.267 --> 00:22:40.234
I'm ready for motion.

387
00:22:40.234 --> 00:22:41.634
-Rick Linnehan on the left.

388
00:22:41.634 --> 00:22:45.334
He is tethered to the telescope
and to the payload bay.

389
00:22:45.334 --> 00:22:48.601
John Grunsfeld is now
in the process of continuing

390
00:22:48.601 --> 00:22:52.334
to be maneuvered for
the alignment of the radiator

391
00:22:52.334 --> 00:22:56.400
to the face of the telescope
where the 13-foot-high radiator

392
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:58.434
will be latched in place
on handrails

393
00:22:58.434 --> 00:23:00.133
on the outside
of the aft shroud.

394
00:23:00.133 --> 00:23:01.434
-You're good.
Okay.

395
00:23:01.434 --> 00:23:02.567
Coming in,
that looks nice.

396
00:23:02.567 --> 00:23:06.000
Correcting.

397
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.868
-There are a series of latches
up and down the radiator

398
00:23:08.868 --> 00:23:10.968
which will fit over handrails

399
00:23:10.968 --> 00:23:13.801
that you can see along
the side of the aft shroud,

400
00:23:13.801 --> 00:23:15.367
both at the bottom
of the aft shroud

401
00:23:15.367 --> 00:23:17.601
and at the very top
of the aft shroud.

402
00:23:17.601 --> 00:23:21.968
Again, you can see the closed
door over the NICMOS instrument,

403
00:23:21.968 --> 00:23:25.200
the near infrared camera
and Multi-Object Spectrometer,

404
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.634
about to receive a radiator
to complement

405
00:23:28.634 --> 00:23:31.033
the newly installed
experimental cryocooler

406
00:23:31.033 --> 00:23:33.734
in an effort to bring it
back into operation.

407
00:23:36.634 --> 00:23:38.534
-Your reading, John,
is open NCS,

408
00:23:38.534 --> 00:23:41.367
radiator handrail
and 1N2 latches.

409
00:23:41.367 --> 00:23:44.667
Install the radiator over
the HST latches, handrail.

410
00:23:44.667 --> 00:23:51.501
-Copy.
-Nicely now.

411
00:23:51.501 --> 00:23:55.200
-Once the radiator is installed
by Grunsfeld and Linnehan

412
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.267
on the side of the telescope,
they will then press

413
00:23:58.267 --> 00:24:02.868
into the power cable
installation for the cryocooler,

414
00:24:02.868 --> 00:24:06.934
as well as the installation
of a series of heaters

415
00:24:06.934 --> 00:24:09.167
for the cooling system
as well.

416
00:24:09.167 --> 00:24:11.534
There are several lines

417
00:24:11.534 --> 00:24:14.534
through which the neon gas
will be circulating,

418
00:24:14.534 --> 00:24:18.033
and other accompanying plumbing
and electrical cables

419
00:24:18.033 --> 00:24:22.434
that the crew will then start to
snake through the aft bulkhead

420
00:24:22.434 --> 00:24:26.033
of the Hubble Space Telescope
to electrically mate

421
00:24:26.033 --> 00:24:28.601
the cryocooler itself
with the radiator

422
00:24:28.601 --> 00:24:30.801
and it's associated
electronics box,

423
00:24:30.801 --> 00:24:35.467
which is mounted in front of
the advance camera for surveys

424
00:24:35.467 --> 00:24:39.601
just to the other side
of the fixed-head star trackers.

425
00:24:39.601 --> 00:24:43.400
-If you can come over
to your left,

426
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:46.901
or starboard, a bit more,
and then back into the bay.

427
00:24:46.901 --> 00:24:48.300
-Okay.
Nancy is still taking me there.

428
00:24:48.300 --> 00:24:49.567
-Okay.
Great.

429
00:24:49.567 --> 00:24:51.467
I'll shut up, and when we get
to the numbers

430
00:24:51.467 --> 00:24:53.033
we can do
a better job aligning.

431
00:24:53.033 --> 00:24:56.534
-Okay, thanks.
-Okay, once you get yours on

432
00:24:56.534 --> 00:24:58.734
and just let me know
and when you're ready.

433
00:24:58.734 --> 00:25:02.267
-Nancy, let's stop here.
-All stop.

434
00:25:02.267 --> 00:25:04.767
-This is the view from
the helmet-mounted camera

435
00:25:04.767 --> 00:25:08.834
on Rick Linnehan as he visually
guides John Grunsfeld

436
00:25:08.834 --> 00:25:10.367
for the alignment
of the radiator

437
00:25:10.367 --> 00:25:13.133
against the face of the aft
shroud of the telescope.

438
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:20.467
-Nance, if you could bring me up
about 6 inches,

439
00:25:20.467 --> 00:25:23.067
and we'll start with that.

440
00:25:23.067 --> 00:25:25.434
-And that'll be up 6?
-Yep.

441
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.767
That was me.
That was me, Nancy.

442
00:25:30.767 --> 00:25:34.133
Thank you.

443
00:25:34.133 --> 00:25:37.267
-Grunsfeld now beginning
to engage the latches

444
00:25:37.267 --> 00:25:38.467
on one of the handrails

445
00:25:38.467 --> 00:25:40.334
on top of the aft shroud
of the telescope.

446
00:25:40.334 --> 00:25:42.234
You're looking right down,
the same view

447
00:25:42.234 --> 00:25:45.634
that John Grunsfeld has
of this 13-foot-high radiator.

448
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:50.667
John Grunsfeld on the right,
wearing the suit

449
00:25:50.667 --> 00:25:52.567
with the red stripes
at the end of the robot arm.

450
00:25:52.567 --> 00:25:55.334
Rick Linnehan to his left
in the pure white suit,

451
00:25:55.334 --> 00:25:59.634
now in place to begin the mating
of all of the connectors

452
00:25:59.634 --> 00:26:02.234
on that conduit that was snaked
through the bottom

453
00:26:02.234 --> 00:26:03.567
of the Hubble Space Telescope.

454
00:26:03.567 --> 00:26:05.300
-Four, five, six, seven.

455
00:26:10.267 --> 00:26:11.901
-It just keeps
pushing me right out.

456
00:26:11.901 --> 00:26:18.167
-Yep.
-I got a hand on your purse.

457
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:22.634
-Astronaut Rick Linnehan here

458
00:26:22.634 --> 00:26:25.501
on the right
assisting John Grunsfeld

459
00:26:25.501 --> 00:26:28.234
as they complete
the installation of the radiator

460
00:26:28.234 --> 00:26:30.467
harnesses to the NICMOS
cooling system.

461
00:26:34.767 --> 00:26:37.934
-Okay, Mike, I think I can do it
without the footplate.

462
00:26:37.934 --> 00:26:39.534
-Okay.
-Thanks.

463
00:26:42.601 --> 00:26:45.701
-Grunsfeld being maneuvered
to the NICMOS cooling system

464
00:26:45.701 --> 00:26:49.200
diode box where he'll
be enabling several switches.

465
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:51.701
-I just wanted to give you --

466
00:26:51.701 --> 00:26:55.934
-This view from the elbow camera
of the shuttle's robotic arm.

467
00:26:55.934 --> 00:26:57.000
-Okay.

468
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.767
No more up there.
Seal the aft.

469
00:27:04.501 --> 00:27:06.434
-I copy.
Thanks again.

470
00:27:06.434 --> 00:27:08.667
-Thank you.

471
00:27:08.667 --> 00:27:11.200
-This view of the new radiator,
the NICMOS radiator,

472
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.200
that will cool
the NICMOS system.

473
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.334
-Thanks, Nance.

474
00:27:17.334 --> 00:27:21.701
-This view from the elbow camera
on the shuttle's robotic arm.

475
00:27:21.701 --> 00:27:23.501
-John Grunsfeld on the shuttle's
robotic arm.

476
00:27:23.501 --> 00:27:24.634
Below him, Rick Linnehan.

477
00:27:24.634 --> 00:27:27.667
-You can only
take the aft sail?

478
00:27:27.667 --> 00:27:30.067
-Straight up.
-Thank you.

479
00:27:30.067 --> 00:27:32.567
-And if you can look down and
verify your clearance to Rick,

480
00:27:32.567 --> 00:27:34.167
or maybe we can keep --

481
00:27:34.167 --> 00:27:35.367
-Yep, we're getting
pretty close to --

482
00:27:35.367 --> 00:27:36.767
-That's what I figured.

483
00:27:36.767 --> 00:27:40.601
-And also need to stop.
-Yeah.

484
00:27:40.601 --> 00:27:41.701
It is stopped.

485
00:27:41.701 --> 00:27:43.234
-Thank you.
-Now 5 hours and 8 minutes

486
00:27:43.234 --> 00:27:44.968
into this fifth space
walk of the mission.

487
00:27:44.968 --> 00:27:46.901
-Rick, the arm
is right behind you.

488
00:27:46.901 --> 00:27:48.534
-The two space walkers
have successfully

489
00:27:48.534 --> 00:27:52.334
installed a NICMOS cryocooler
and a radiator,

490
00:27:52.334 --> 00:27:55.367
all part of the cooling system.

491
00:27:55.367 --> 00:27:57.567
This experimental system
designed to keep

492
00:27:57.567 --> 00:27:59.567
that infrared
instrument very, very cold.

493
00:27:59.567 --> 00:28:00.968
-Apply some pressure, okay?

494
00:28:00.968 --> 00:28:02.567
-Okay.
Standby, John.

495
00:28:07.534 --> 00:28:11.067
I'll hand you the little key,
the bottom.

496
00:28:15.968 --> 00:28:17.534
-Okay, I have it, John.
-Okay, you have it?

497
00:28:17.534 --> 00:28:19.400
-All right.

498
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:21.300
-Grunsfeld handing his tools
off to Linnehan,

499
00:28:21.300 --> 00:28:23.701
who will put them
inside Columbia's airlock.

500
00:28:26.434 --> 00:28:29.167
Grunsfeld now coming off
the shuttle's robotic arm.

501
00:28:33.667 --> 00:28:35.534
-Okay.
Release on my mark.

502
00:28:35.534 --> 00:28:39.467
Three, two, one, mark.

503
00:28:42.300 --> 00:28:43.701
We are released.
-Open.

504
00:28:43.701 --> 00:28:45.234
-Okay.
Let's bring it down, Rick.

505
00:28:45.234 --> 00:28:47.501
-Okay, coming down.
-Slow.

506
00:28:47.501 --> 00:28:48.801
-Yep.
Got it, John?

507
00:28:48.801 --> 00:28:50.868
-Yep, I got it too.
-Okay.

508
00:28:50.868 --> 00:28:52.467
-Manipulator foot restraint
now released

509
00:28:52.467 --> 00:28:56.167
from the shuttle's robotic arm
and will be stowed.

510
00:28:56.167 --> 00:28:57.501
This view provided by a camera

511
00:28:57.501 --> 00:29:00.200
on the end effector
of the shuttle's robot arm.

512
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.834
-Okay, I got my --
-Hello.

513
00:29:03.834 --> 00:29:05.400
Stay to the right.

514
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.968
-For some reason I'm blinded,
so I hope it's a good view.

515
00:29:07.968 --> 00:29:10.834
-Okay.

516
00:29:10.834 --> 00:29:14.400
We're up here on Columbia
on STS-109.

517
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.634
We've just finished 5 days
of spacewalking.

518
00:29:17.634 --> 00:29:20.434
We've given Hubble
a new power system.

519
00:29:20.434 --> 00:29:23.901
It'll take it off into the next
decade of discovery.

520
00:29:23.901 --> 00:29:26.567
We've given it new eyes to see
deeper into the universe

521
00:29:26.567 --> 00:29:29.367
than it's ever been able
to see before,

522
00:29:29.367 --> 00:29:32.434
and I think you'll see that
people at the Space Telescope

523
00:29:32.434 --> 00:29:36.100
Science Institute, universities
all around the world,

524
00:29:36.100 --> 00:29:38.701
amateur astronomers young
and old

525
00:29:38.701 --> 00:29:41.767
will be able to enjoy
the beauty and inspiration

526
00:29:41.767 --> 00:29:45.968
that these new pictures
from Hubble will bring.

527
00:29:45.968 --> 00:29:52.234
I'm convinced that the next --
incredible discovery from Hubble

528
00:29:52.234 --> 00:29:56.167
is one that's probably months
if not years away,

529
00:29:56.167 --> 00:29:57.934
and the work that
we'd done up here on Columbia

530
00:29:57.934 --> 00:30:00.868
is just a small part
of what has brought us

531
00:30:00.868 --> 00:30:05.501
to the point of being able
to make those discoveries.

532
00:30:05.501 --> 00:30:07.834
Part of it, though,
is the people,

533
00:30:07.834 --> 00:30:11.734
and it's people up here
servicing spacecraft like Hubble

534
00:30:11.734 --> 00:30:13.567
that's been able
to make it better

535
00:30:13.567 --> 00:30:15.868
that's really
the incredible story,

536
00:30:15.868 --> 00:30:18.234
and although there's
seven of us on orbit,

537
00:30:18.234 --> 00:30:19.701
there's a huge team
on the ground

538
00:30:19.701 --> 00:30:21.634
at the Goddard Space
Flight Center,

539
00:30:21.634 --> 00:30:23.968
Space Telescope
Science Institute,

540
00:30:23.968 --> 00:30:27.701
also Aerospace Wales, Orbital,
Lockheed Martin,

541
00:30:27.701 --> 00:30:29.934
United Space Alliance,
the list goes on and on

542
00:30:29.934 --> 00:30:33.200
with maybe thousands of people
who have worked on this mission,

543
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.367
tens of thousands
to get Columbia

544
00:30:35.367 --> 00:30:39.267
into the wonderful state
it's in for us to go to orbit.

545
00:30:39.267 --> 00:30:41.767
The other remarkable thing is
that we're outside in a vacuum

546
00:30:41.767 --> 00:30:44.467
right now
in our own little spaceship.

547
00:30:44.467 --> 00:30:47.000
I think Rich has a few words
to say about the folks

548
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:50.100
that have helped us
get these spacesuits out here.

549
00:30:50.100 --> 00:30:52.267
-John, I was thinking
about that all day.

550
00:30:52.267 --> 00:30:54.801
This is the first, well,
the third time now

551
00:30:54.801 --> 00:30:56.367
that I've been out in space.

552
00:30:56.367 --> 00:31:01.400
There may be a [Indistinct]
that something I can build,

553
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:03.167
a future apparatus
or equipment like this

554
00:31:03.167 --> 00:31:07.133
that allows humans to
come out into the most --

555
00:31:07.133 --> 00:31:10.367
the harshest environment
imaginable and function

556
00:31:10.367 --> 00:31:15.000
and work almost as
if we didn't have a suit on.

557
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.067
After all, working in the EMU,

558
00:31:18.067 --> 00:31:21.501
it almost becomes like
a second skin, an exoskeleton,

559
00:31:21.501 --> 00:31:29.033
and it's just amazing what you
can do here and also the view.

560
00:31:29.033 --> 00:31:32.200
I just still can't believe
that I'm here,

561
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:33.968
and I've got to spend
this time in space

562
00:31:33.968 --> 00:31:36.868
with six other
just fantastic people,

563
00:31:36.868 --> 00:31:40.000
and there's no way we could've
accomplished this mission

564
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.534
without those people,
just an amazing crew

565
00:31:44.534 --> 00:31:48.734
and just a wonderful
experience.

566
00:31:48.734 --> 00:31:51.634
And I guess for a little kind
of lighter note

567
00:31:51.634 --> 00:31:54.767
or comic relief here,
this is a true story.

568
00:31:54.767 --> 00:31:58.167
My physics professor, or my
physics teacher in high school,

569
00:31:58.167 --> 00:31:59.934
he's listening.

570
00:31:59.934 --> 00:32:02.701
He used to tell me that the only
thing I would ever be good

571
00:32:02.701 --> 00:32:07.734
at was taking up space,
so I guess I made it big-time.

572
00:32:07.734 --> 00:32:09.734
Thanks.

573
00:32:09.734 --> 00:32:12.934
-Well, HST is definitely
an icon of science

574
00:32:12.934 --> 00:32:15.033
but also the peaceful
use of space,

575
00:32:15.033 --> 00:32:18.067
and for all the people
above us on planet Earth,

576
00:32:18.067 --> 00:32:21.434
may there be peace on Earth
and thanks very much

577
00:32:21.434 --> 00:32:23.834
for helping us with an STS-109.

578
00:32:23.834 --> 00:32:25.834
Hope to be back.

579
00:32:25.834 --> 00:32:27.434
Thank you.

580
00:32:29.968 --> 00:32:33.100
-And from the flight deck,
John and Rick

581
00:32:33.100 --> 00:32:35.501
and all the EVA team
and the support,

582
00:32:35.501 --> 00:32:37.400
we just want to echo
the same thing.

583
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:39.834
It's been a great mission
so far,

584
00:32:39.834 --> 00:32:41.567
and there's more work
ahead of us.

585
00:32:41.567 --> 00:32:46.634
I know it's going to continue
to be an outstanding success.

586
00:32:46.634 --> 00:32:51.267
And as a tribute to a large
portion of our support team,

587
00:32:51.267 --> 00:32:53.534
we have a little something
for them.

588
00:32:56.434 --> 00:33:04.934
♪♪

589
00:33:04.934 --> 00:33:13.334
♪♪

590
00:33:13.334 --> 00:33:16.367
-So thanks to Dana and Tomas

591
00:33:16.367 --> 00:33:19.267
and all the other folks
who helped us on all these EVAs.

592
00:33:22.300 --> 00:33:23.801
-And Columbia Houston,
with that,

593
00:33:23.801 --> 00:33:25.734
it's time for the Orbit 1 team

594
00:33:25.734 --> 00:33:28.868
to go outside
as the EVA crew heads inside.

595
00:33:28.868 --> 00:33:30.934
We'll get to see daylight
for a change,

596
00:33:30.934 --> 00:33:33.367
and you guys did fantastic work.

597
00:33:33.367 --> 00:33:36.701
The choreography was outstanding
throughout,

598
00:33:36.701 --> 00:33:39.200
except for some
of the downlink music,

599
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:40.801
but having said that,

600
00:33:43.067 --> 00:33:45.400
we appreciate
the work you've done.

601
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:48.467
You've helped science
along tremendously,

602
00:33:48.467 --> 00:33:51.934
and we'll leave you in the good
hands of Steve and Tony

603
00:33:51.934 --> 00:33:54.167
in the Orbit 2 team.
Thanks a lot.

604
00:33:54.167 --> 00:33:55.901
It's been a pleasure
working with you,

605
00:33:55.901 --> 00:33:57.501
especially through these EVAs.

606
00:33:57.501 --> 00:33:59.100
We'll catch you tomorrow.

607
00:34:01.501 --> 00:34:03.267
-Let's get an eye up
on the flight deck,

608
00:34:03.267 --> 00:34:04.567
and we copied,
and I just wanted

609
00:34:04.567 --> 00:34:06.067
to say thanks again
to Leslie and Mark

610
00:34:06.067 --> 00:34:09.267
who did such a great job
on the RMS positions.

611
00:34:09.267 --> 00:34:10.868
And hopefully the EVA guys

612
00:34:10.868 --> 00:34:12.434
down there
were happy with our support.

613
00:34:12.434 --> 00:34:14.434
We really enjoyed working
with the whole team too,

614
00:34:14.434 --> 00:34:18.734
and we're really looking forward
to tomorrow.

615
00:34:18.734 --> 00:34:22.100
-And from the mid-deck, thanks,
Mary, to you and the whole team

616
00:34:22.100 --> 00:34:24.567
for supporting us
through these EVAs.

617
00:34:24.567 --> 00:34:28.234
We really enjoyed it.
It was an awesome experience.

618
00:34:28.234 --> 00:34:29.567
-And, Mike, you understand now

619
00:34:29.567 --> 00:34:31.567
why everybody talks
so highly of it.

620
00:34:31.567 --> 00:34:33.834
Appreciate that.
We'll catch you tomorrow.

621
00:34:39.634 --> 00:34:41.000
-Okay.

622
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.267
We have an Internet question
we'd like to answer,

623
00:34:43.267 --> 00:34:46.000
and it's directed
toward Rick Linnehan,

624
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:51.801
who is fresh from space
outside the spaceship.

625
00:34:51.801 --> 00:34:54.067
This is from Craig A. Newsbaum

626
00:34:54.067 --> 00:35:00.234
from Canyon Country, California,
age 36, and he asks,

627
00:35:00.234 --> 00:35:03.100
"To the space walkers,
mainly one of the new guys

628
00:35:03.100 --> 00:35:05.067
like Rick,
how does the real thing

629
00:35:05.067 --> 00:35:09.267
compare to training
in the underwater chamber?"

630
00:35:13.234 --> 00:35:14.868
-Well, Craig, hi, this is Rick,

631
00:35:14.868 --> 00:35:17.868
and we just got in from
our third space walk tonight,

632
00:35:17.868 --> 00:35:20.467
and the big thing
I noticed mainly is,

633
00:35:20.467 --> 00:35:22.234
when I come in is, I'm not wet.

634
00:35:25.534 --> 00:35:29.901
Usually, when we train
in the NBL,

635
00:35:29.901 --> 00:35:33.634
which is called
the Neutral Buoyancy Lab,

636
00:35:33.634 --> 00:35:35.300
it's a huge swimming pool,

637
00:35:35.300 --> 00:35:37.601
probably the biggest
swimming pool in the world

638
00:35:37.601 --> 00:35:41.534
I think, as far as I know,
and we train in mock-ups

639
00:35:41.534 --> 00:35:44.033
of the suits similar
to what we wear outside,

640
00:35:44.033 --> 00:35:50.601
but we're supported by a bunch
of people in scuba equipment

641
00:35:50.601 --> 00:35:55.067
who help us and service
the equipment and move us around

642
00:35:55.067 --> 00:35:57.634
and try to simulate
what happens in space.

643
00:35:57.634 --> 00:36:02.601
And it's so realistic that
the first time I was out there,

644
00:36:02.601 --> 00:36:05.701
I kept looking around
expecting to see divers' faces

645
00:36:05.701 --> 00:36:09.000
pop up everywhere,
but that never happened luckily.

646
00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:14.400
-Okay, Rick, and you did
a great job out there today,

647
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:15.667
and you mentioned

648
00:36:15.667 --> 00:36:19.100
how you got a good
look at Columbia from outside.

649
00:36:19.100 --> 00:36:21.567
Now I know that this is
your third flight on Columbia,

650
00:36:21.567 --> 00:36:23.067
and it's perhaps a record

651
00:36:23.067 --> 00:36:27.434
for flying aboard
the oldest space ship,

652
00:36:27.434 --> 00:36:31.567
the older space orbiter
that we have.

653
00:36:31.567 --> 00:36:33.167
What was it like being
on the outside

654
00:36:33.167 --> 00:36:35.934
finally when you were crammed
inside for two missions?

655
00:36:39.634 --> 00:36:42.968
-A lot more space.

656
00:36:42.968 --> 00:36:46.100
There was just an incredible
sense of,

657
00:36:46.100 --> 00:36:48.067
"Wow, I can't believe I'm here."

658
00:36:48.067 --> 00:36:50.667
First I turn around and there's
the Hubble Space Telescope,

659
00:36:50.667 --> 00:36:53.300
and I turn around
the other direction

660
00:36:53.300 --> 00:36:56.133
and I'm looking in the windows

661
00:36:56.133 --> 00:36:59.267
that I just looked out
maybe an hour or so ago,

662
00:36:59.267 --> 00:37:03.200
and there's all my friends and
crewmates in there looking back.

663
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:06.701
And it's kind of a surreal
experience,

664
00:37:06.701 --> 00:37:09.467
especially being part
of this Hubble crew,

665
00:37:09.467 --> 00:37:12.400
getting to work on probably
the most important

666
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:14.067
scientific instrument
ever created.

667
00:37:14.067 --> 00:37:15.667
-All right.

668
00:37:17.834 --> 00:37:19.534
Well, you know what was
interesting to me, Rick,

669
00:37:19.534 --> 00:37:24.067
was watching you guys outside
in the few times

670
00:37:24.067 --> 00:37:25.367
I was out at the MBL

671
00:37:25.367 --> 00:37:26.801
watching you guys working
on the equipment.

672
00:37:26.801 --> 00:37:30.067
I was wondering how accurate
the training equipment

673
00:37:30.067 --> 00:37:32.634
is compared to when
you're out there on Hubble.

674
00:37:32.634 --> 00:37:34.200
Does Hubble throw you
any surprises

675
00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:35.968
that you hadn't seen in training

676
00:37:35.968 --> 00:37:41.701
or that the trainers and the
scenario-builders for simulators

677
00:37:41.701 --> 00:37:44.934
and such hadn't thought of?

678
00:37:44.934 --> 00:37:47.334
-Well, first, Digger,
I've got to tell you

679
00:37:47.334 --> 00:37:50.701
that the people involved
in Hubble, the trainers,

680
00:37:50.701 --> 00:37:56.167
the people who made the mock-ups
and all the replicas of Hubble

681
00:37:56.167 --> 00:37:59.334
and such that we work
with did an amazing job,

682
00:37:59.334 --> 00:38:02.767
so much so that
it's kind of like...

683
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:07.634
I don't know.

684
00:38:07.634 --> 00:38:11.567
Sometimes when I'm out there,
I can flash back

685
00:38:11.567 --> 00:38:14.334
and feel like I'm in the water
or out in space.

686
00:38:14.334 --> 00:38:15.801
It's that good.

687
00:38:15.801 --> 00:38:18.267
There are changes of course
in space.

688
00:38:18.267 --> 00:38:23.734
Today we had some peculiarities.

689
00:38:23.734 --> 00:38:25.067
That's a tough one to say.

690
00:38:25.067 --> 00:38:26.567
Some peculiarities.

691
00:38:26.567 --> 00:38:27.801
-Lips are still cold from space.

692
00:38:27.801 --> 00:38:30.801
-I'm still a little dry
from coming in,

693
00:38:30.801 --> 00:38:33.667
but the cables were
a bit stiffer and colder.

694
00:38:33.667 --> 00:38:36.334
And so yeah,
when you're out here,

695
00:38:36.334 --> 00:38:39.000
some things are affected
by the cold and vacuum

696
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:43.901
that normally wouldn't be
when you're training.

697
00:38:43.901 --> 00:38:47.767
-Well, Rick, I got to tell you,
and to the folks back home,

698
00:38:47.767 --> 00:38:49.400
Rick and I have been out
riding motorcycles

699
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:51.200
a few times together,
and I knew --

700
00:38:51.200 --> 00:38:52.667
-He never fell off.

701
00:38:52.667 --> 00:38:54.367
-I knew the first time
I went riding with Rick,

702
00:38:54.367 --> 00:38:56.968
and it was kind of a cold day,
and he didn't have a windshield,

703
00:38:56.968 --> 00:38:59.501
and I was fully bundled up
with my big windshield

704
00:38:59.501 --> 00:39:01.033
and he was hanging in there for,

705
00:39:01.033 --> 00:39:02.701
what was
that about a 5-hour ride?

706
00:39:02.701 --> 00:39:04.167
-Yeah.
-I knew if he could hack that,

707
00:39:04.167 --> 00:39:05.801
that space would be no problem.

708
00:39:05.801 --> 00:39:08.133
-That's because you didn't know
how fast I was going.

709
00:39:08.133 --> 00:39:09.968
-And that's all for
the Digger show today.

710
00:39:09.968 --> 00:39:11.567
I hope you enjoyed our guest.

711
00:39:14.834 --> 00:39:20.000
-He almost didn't let me say
goodbye, but so long, everyone.

712
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:26.467
-Columbia, Houston for Scooter.
-Go ahead, Houston.

713
00:39:26.467 --> 00:39:28.934
-Scooter, we're now ready
for the PSP bypass,

714
00:39:28.934 --> 00:39:31.267
and in addition,
when you're ready for the PMC,

715
00:39:31.267 --> 00:39:35.634
we can start that, too.
-Okay.

716
00:39:35.634 --> 00:39:38.400
Let me go check
how our OCA looks.

717
00:39:55.267 --> 00:39:57.434
-Hubble Space Telescope
coming into view.

718
00:40:09.467 --> 00:40:12.334
Looking up the length
of the Hubble Space Telescope,

719
00:40:12.334 --> 00:40:14.067
two new solar arrays.

720
00:40:14.067 --> 00:40:17.434
You can see the South
Atlantic Ocean being reflected.

721
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:23.601
Columbia
currently just passing off

722
00:40:23.601 --> 00:40:26.267
the southeastern coast
of Argentina,

723
00:40:26.267 --> 00:40:28.400
moving out into
the South Atlantic Ocean.

724
00:40:42.534 --> 00:40:46.234
That round black object
is the dish on the high gain.

-Good morning, Columbia.

741
00:42:04.868 --> 00:42:06.801
Digger, that was for you
from Cheryl.

742
00:42:06.801 --> 00:42:09.634
Of course, it was "Who Made Who"
by AC/DC.

743
00:42:09.634 --> 00:42:12.067
Now we know that you got
the shorts and the white socks.

744
00:42:12.067 --> 00:42:13.300
We just hope that
your air guitar

745
00:42:13.300 --> 00:42:15.801
made it down to the Cape
in time for late stowage.

746
00:42:15.801 --> 00:42:17.400
Good morning.

747
00:42:19.834 --> 00:42:21.767
-Houston Columbia,
for the Internet.

748
00:42:24.501 --> 00:42:28.200
-Go ahead, John.
-Is this a good time?

749
00:42:32.334 --> 00:42:35.601
-Now is a great time, John.

750
00:42:35.601 --> 00:42:40.000
-From Robert White in Carroll,
Ohio, his question is,

751
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.367
"Are the suits used for space
walking still custom-made

752
00:42:43.367 --> 00:42:45.601
for the individual crew member
as they were

753
00:42:45.601 --> 00:42:48.901
in the Apollo missions
and early shuttle missions?"

754
00:42:48.901 --> 00:42:50.934
Robert, the suits are not
custom-made anymore.

755
00:42:50.934 --> 00:42:53.434
In fact, they come
in a few sizes,

756
00:42:53.434 --> 00:42:55.601
and each of the parts
of the suit,

757
00:42:55.601 --> 00:42:59.501
like the arms and legs
and boots and gloves,

758
00:42:59.501 --> 00:43:02.434
have adjustments on them.

759
00:43:02.434 --> 00:43:05.801
And so we are able to find
a good fit for the suits

760
00:43:05.801 --> 00:43:08.667
by picking and choosing
the right suit parts.

761
00:43:08.667 --> 00:43:12.067
Everybody on this mission
was in a large part upper torso,

762
00:43:12.067 --> 00:43:15.501
but each of us had different
sized lower torso assemblies,

763
00:43:15.501 --> 00:43:18.634
gloves and arms.

764
00:43:18.634 --> 00:43:20.801
-Columbia, Houston and HST folks
are happy.

765
00:43:20.801 --> 00:43:22.567
They've gotten everything
they've needed.

766
00:43:22.567 --> 00:43:25.033
Excellent job for keeping us
informed

767
00:43:25.033 --> 00:43:27.734
and keeping things
well-documented video-wise.

768
00:43:27.734 --> 00:43:29.267
You're the producer-director.

769
00:43:29.267 --> 00:43:31.968
Next video is your call.

770
00:43:31.968 --> 00:43:33.200
-In case he's still with us,

771
00:43:33.200 --> 00:43:36.801
we're going to go up
to the grapple now.

772
00:43:36.801 --> 00:43:40.033
-Copy, we have the model
to assist us in our view.

773
00:44:11.100 --> 00:44:14.033
-A good grapple of the Hubble
Space Telescope confirmed.

774
00:44:14.033 --> 00:44:15.968
Nancy Currie working
with Mike Massimino

775
00:44:15.968 --> 00:44:17.534
at the aft flight deck
of Columbia.

776
00:44:17.534 --> 00:44:19.701
Massimino responsible
for the grapple

777
00:44:19.701 --> 00:44:21.934
and the unbirthing
of the telescope.

778
00:44:21.934 --> 00:44:23.601
Nancy
Currie will be responsible

779
00:44:23.601 --> 00:44:25.133
for the deployment
of the telescope

780
00:44:25.133 --> 00:44:27.033
less than 3 hours from now.

781
00:44:29.801 --> 00:44:33.067
Robot arm operator
Nancy Currie on the left.

782
00:44:33.067 --> 00:44:35.801
John Grunsfeld, the prime
space walker, on the right,

783
00:44:35.801 --> 00:44:38.834
and Duane Carey now floating
into the field of view.

784
00:44:38.834 --> 00:44:40.968
-...payloads.

785
00:44:40.968 --> 00:44:45.167
-Yes, Digger, John, excuse me.

786
00:44:45.167 --> 00:44:47.367
-Hey, Mario.

787
00:44:47.367 --> 00:44:50.267
Camera setup is complete,
and HST umbilical disconnect

788
00:44:50.267 --> 00:44:53.400
and power transfer prechecks
are complete.

789
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:56.033
We're waiting on your go
for detonation umbilical

790
00:44:56.033 --> 00:44:59.067
on step three.

791
00:44:59.067 --> 00:45:00.767
-Roger that.
We're working on it.

792
00:45:03.567 --> 00:45:05.133
-Thank you, Mario.

793
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:09.901
-John Grunsfeld running
through the checklist

794
00:45:09.901 --> 00:45:12.634
from the aft flight deck
of Columbia in preparation

795
00:45:12.634 --> 00:45:14.934
for the disconnection
of the external umbilical,

796
00:45:14.934 --> 00:45:17.934
which has provided orbiter power
for the Hubble Space Telescope

797
00:45:17.934 --> 00:45:19.701
for the past 6 days.

798
00:45:23.300 --> 00:45:24.734
This is Mission Control Houston,

799
00:45:24.734 --> 00:45:27.567
the Hubble Space Telescope
now on this downlink television

800
00:45:27.567 --> 00:45:30.567
from payload bay cameras
in Columbia,

801
00:45:30.567 --> 00:45:32.868
at the end of the shuttle's
50-foot-long robot arm.

802
00:45:32.868 --> 00:45:36.467
under the control of robot
arm operator Nancy Currie.

803
00:45:36.467 --> 00:45:39.501
Hubble now in its
deploy orientation.

804
00:45:39.501 --> 00:45:42.100
Its brand-new solar
arrays parallel

805
00:45:42.100 --> 00:45:43.434
to the body
of the telescope.

806
00:45:43.434 --> 00:45:45.400
You're looking at the face
of the telescope,

807
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:48.801
those two oval-shaped objects
and the circular dark object

808
00:45:48.801 --> 00:45:51.400
above the three fixed-head
star trackers.

809
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:52.834
-The Hubble in position.

810
00:45:52.834 --> 00:45:55.033
We're ready for our maneuver,
if you concur.

811
00:45:59.934 --> 00:46:02.067
-And Columbia, Houston, copy.

812
00:46:02.067 --> 00:46:03.334
We're go for the maneuver.

813
00:46:03.334 --> 00:46:06.834
It should take about 30 minutes,
and we have good TV

814
00:46:06.834 --> 00:46:10.634
for imagery through
the rest of the west pass.

815
00:46:17.033 --> 00:46:19.567
-Okay, Houston.
Roger that.

816
00:46:19.567 --> 00:46:22.434
-Commander Scott Altman now
will begin a 30-minute maneuver

817
00:46:22.434 --> 00:46:25.434
to place Columbia
in the proper orientation itself

818
00:46:25.434 --> 00:46:27.501
for the deployment
of the telescope.

819
00:46:27.501 --> 00:46:31.701
Again, you're looking
at the face of the telescope

820
00:46:31.701 --> 00:46:33.767
along the aft shroud
of the observatory

821
00:46:33.767 --> 00:46:37.467
were the three fixed-head
star trackers, now in this view.

822
00:46:37.467 --> 00:46:39.767
Another view from another
one of the payload bay cameras

823
00:46:39.767 --> 00:46:41.934
showing the two high-gain
antennas

824
00:46:41.934 --> 00:46:43.701
deployed in the correct
orientation,

825
00:46:43.701 --> 00:46:46.734
perpendicular to the body
of the telescope.

826
00:46:46.734 --> 00:46:50.968
The 43 1/2-foot observatory
refurbished and upgraded,

827
00:46:50.968 --> 00:46:53.934
ready for its deployment
to fly free once again

828
00:46:53.934 --> 00:46:56.467
just 1 hour
and 2 minutes from now.

829
00:47:07.701 --> 00:47:10.767
A good view of the 43 1/2-foot
high observatory,

830
00:47:10.767 --> 00:47:12.834
poised at the end
of the shuttle's robot arm

831
00:47:12.834 --> 00:47:16.067
for deployment at 4:04 a.m.
Central time.

832
00:47:20.834 --> 00:47:24.400
-Columbia, Houston,
you're go for HST release.

833
00:47:32.133 --> 00:47:33.801
-Copy, Houston.
Go for release.

834
00:47:33.801 --> 00:47:37.033
Thank you.

835
00:47:37.033 --> 00:47:39.234
-So after five servicing space
walks

836
00:47:39.234 --> 00:47:41.701
totaling more than 35 hours,

837
00:47:41.701 --> 00:47:43.834
by two teams of space walkers
on the fourth

838
00:47:43.834 --> 00:47:45.968
servicing mission
to the Hubble Space Telescope,

839
00:47:45.968 --> 00:47:48.534
the observatory is ready
to fly free once again

840
00:47:48.534 --> 00:47:51.000
to resume
its scientific observations.

841
00:47:57.033 --> 00:47:58.634
Deployment confirmed.

842
00:48:08.467 --> 00:48:11.667
The robot arm backing away
from the Hubble Space Telescope.

843
00:48:31.334 --> 00:48:34.834
Applause in the Space Telescope
Operations Control Center.

844
00:48:34.834 --> 00:48:37.467
The refurbished, more powerful
Hubble Space Telescope

845
00:48:37.467 --> 00:48:38.634
flying free once again,

846
00:48:38.634 --> 00:48:41.100
ready to resume
its voyage of discovery.

847
00:49:05.868 --> 00:49:08.467
And the first separation
burn is now underway.

848
00:49:12.734 --> 00:49:16.033
Columbia departing
the Hubble Space Telescope,

849
00:49:16.033 --> 00:49:19.067
not to be revisited
for the next 2 1/2 years.

850
00:49:29.234 --> 00:49:32.501
-We have a beautiful view
of Mr. Hubble the Telescope

851
00:49:32.501 --> 00:49:34.167
over the Earth's horizon,

852
00:49:34.167 --> 00:49:36.868
ready to go
and make new discoveries.

853
00:49:36.868 --> 00:49:39.167
And from the crew of STS-109,

854
00:49:39.167 --> 00:49:41.534
we bid the Hubble
well on its new journey

855
00:49:41.534 --> 00:49:43.834
with its new tools
to explore the universe.

856
00:49:43.834 --> 00:49:45.434
Good luck, Mr. Hubble.

857
00:49:48.367 --> 00:49:51.734
-And we wish it well
from down here as well, John.

858
00:49:51.734 --> 00:49:53.334
Thanks for the words.

859
00:49:55.901 --> 00:49:58.167
Columbia, Houston, I think
you'd be happy to know

860
00:49:58.167 --> 00:50:01.133
that HST has transitioned
to normal mode.

861
00:50:05.100 --> 00:50:06.400
-Yes, that's great
to know, Mario.

862
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:08.634
Thank you.

863
00:50:08.634 --> 00:50:11.634
-That call indicating that all
of Hubble's systems are now up

864
00:50:11.634 --> 00:50:13.200
and running under the guidance

865
00:50:13.200 --> 00:50:15.467
of the Space Telescope
Operations Control Center

866
00:50:15.467 --> 00:50:17.767
at the Goddard Space Flight
Center in Greenbelt, Maryland,

867
00:50:17.767 --> 00:50:21.968
now in full command
of all of Hubble activity.

868
00:50:21.968 --> 00:50:25.133
So with Hubble flying free,
once again under the control

869
00:50:25.133 --> 00:50:27.667
of the telescope engineers
at Goddard,

870
00:50:27.667 --> 00:50:31.567
the shuttle portion
of this mission with Hubble

871
00:50:31.567 --> 00:50:34.300
has now come to an end,
and the shuttle astronauts

872
00:50:34.300 --> 00:50:37.801
can now turn their attention
to the rest of their flight

873
00:50:37.801 --> 00:50:40.901
and a landing
on Tuesday morning predawn

874
00:50:40.901 --> 00:50:42.400
at the Kennedy Space Center.

875
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:43.834
-Columbia, Houston,
we have a good view

876
00:50:43.834 --> 00:50:45.167
of Hubble from down here.

877
00:50:45.167 --> 00:50:46.834
Thanks for the downlink.
You're right.

878
00:50:46.834 --> 00:50:48.701
It is an ooh-ah picture.

879
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:57.434
-Scooter, Dana is on.
-Okay.

880
00:50:57.434 --> 00:50:59.234
Copy that.

881
00:50:59.234 --> 00:51:00.434
Dana, this is Scooter,

882
00:51:00.434 --> 00:51:02.901
just wanted to talk to you
for a minute.

883
00:51:05.667 --> 00:51:11.067
-Great, Scooter.
-And, Dana, hey,

884
00:51:11.067 --> 00:51:13.634
I just wanted to pass to you
and Tomas, Christy,

885
00:51:13.634 --> 00:51:16.434
the whole team
but especially you three,

886
00:51:16.434 --> 00:51:20.267
how tremendously happy we are
with the training we got

887
00:51:20.267 --> 00:51:23.100
and just how that we couldn't
have done it without you,

888
00:51:23.100 --> 00:51:25.767
how much we appreciate
all your work.

889
00:51:25.767 --> 00:51:28.534
-You guys did an excellent job.
You made us very proud.

890
00:51:28.534 --> 00:51:30.667
A lot of smiling faces here.

891
00:51:30.667 --> 00:51:34.467
All the HST folks have been
sitting on the loops,

892
00:51:34.467 --> 00:51:36.300
expressing their thanks
to everyone down here

893
00:51:36.300 --> 00:51:38.267
and especially
to you guys up there.

894
00:51:43.367 --> 00:51:46.133
-And, Dana, if you could pass on
to Tomas

895
00:51:46.133 --> 00:51:48.334
in particular from Mike and I,

896
00:51:48.334 --> 00:51:51.968
we'd like to say the grasshopper
on board has graduated.

897
00:51:51.968 --> 00:51:53.567
-Copy that, Jim.

898
00:51:58.200 --> 00:52:02.400
-And, Dana, I can't express
to you how much all of your help

899
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:05.968
and the folks that are
in your back room

900
00:52:05.968 --> 00:52:07.868
have helped us
to get to the point

901
00:52:07.868 --> 00:52:12.033
that we just deployed a Hubble
with a whole set of new tools,

902
00:52:12.033 --> 00:52:13.567
and all the time
that we spent together

903
00:52:13.567 --> 00:52:18.701
working on making this mission
a success with the whole team.

904
00:52:18.701 --> 00:52:20.400
It's just incredible
that we've gone through

905
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:21.968
this last 5 EVA days

906
00:52:21.968 --> 00:52:27.167
with all the support we have
and to making it all work.

907
00:52:27.167 --> 00:52:29.667
-I echo your thoughts on that.
It's been amazing.

908
00:52:31.801 --> 00:52:35.033
-And just to close,
speaking of amazing,

909
00:52:35.033 --> 00:52:36.767
the uplink of
the press conference

910
00:52:36.767 --> 00:52:38.801
has really kept us up to speed,

911
00:52:38.801 --> 00:52:40.501
and we've really enjoyed
watching.

912
00:52:40.501 --> 00:52:43.667
So thanks again for everything,
including the press conferences.

913
00:52:43.667 --> 00:52:45.834
You've been great.

914
00:52:45.834 --> 00:52:47.734
-They've been a real joy for us.

915
00:52:47.734 --> 00:52:49.601
We really look forward
to that part.

916
00:52:55.767 --> 00:52:57.234
-That's affirmative, Nancy,

917
00:52:57.234 --> 00:53:01.334
and with you guys
passing overhead Houston

918
00:53:01.334 --> 00:53:05.968
in tandem with HST, we're going
to declare a forced LOS.

919
00:53:05.968 --> 00:53:09.267
And with all the COEs
closed throughout the mission,

920
00:53:09.267 --> 00:53:11.667
we think it's appropriate
that we do so.

921
00:53:11.667 --> 00:53:15.100
So be sure and wave
as you go by.

922
00:53:15.100 --> 00:53:18.434
-You bet, Mario, and before
you goes, just real quick,

923
00:53:18.434 --> 00:53:21.601
we want to really thank
Leslie Hannon and Mark Litsky

924
00:53:21.601 --> 00:53:23.467
for all the hard work
they did on the arm.

925
00:53:23.467 --> 00:53:25.534
We haven't been able to talk
to them very much this flight,

926
00:53:25.534 --> 00:53:28.000
but for an arm operator,
this was a dream flight,

927
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:29.934
and we really enjoyed it.

928
00:53:29.934 --> 00:53:33.234
Mike did a great job,
and Scooter did a fantastic job

929
00:53:33.234 --> 00:53:34.934
backing me up on EVA,

930
00:53:34.934 --> 00:53:37.634
and from all three of us
to Jeff Sugar,

931
00:53:37.634 --> 00:53:40.400
he was the best instructor,

932
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:41.934
and we can't thank him enough.

933
00:53:45.033 --> 00:53:46.300
-Copy, Nancy.

934
00:53:46.300 --> 00:53:48.234
Quote, "You made it look
easy for them."

935
00:53:48.234 --> 00:53:51.567
-Thanks for the Run-DMC-advised
word.

936
00:53:55.501 --> 00:53:56.634
-Copy, Scooter.

937
00:53:56.634 --> 00:53:59.234
You got one laughing console
to my right.

938
00:54:01.534 --> 00:54:05.267
-And from Mike to Jeff and Mark
and the whole gang down there,

939
00:54:05.267 --> 00:54:07.701
thanks very much
for putting up with me

940
00:54:07.701 --> 00:54:10.534
and sticking through
the training flow with me.

941
00:54:10.534 --> 00:54:12.000
I sure appreciate
all your hard work.

942
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:18.534
Thanks.
-Thanks, Mike.

943
00:54:18.534 --> 00:54:20.267
We'll pass that along
to the training folks.

944
00:54:20.267 --> 00:54:21.868
Appreciate it.

945
00:54:26.100 --> 00:54:27.834
-Well, let's talk first
about the deployment.

946
00:54:27.834 --> 00:54:31.868
How did it go?
-Hey, good morning, Claudette.

947
00:54:31.868 --> 00:54:33.267
It just went picture-perfect.

948
00:54:33.267 --> 00:54:35.834
It was really a beautiful sight
to watch

949
00:54:35.834 --> 00:54:39.234
Hubble leave us as Nancy Currie
detached it from the arm

950
00:54:39.234 --> 00:54:42.534
and we let it float away
as we did our separation burns,

951
00:54:42.534 --> 00:54:44.000
just tremendous.

952
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:46.534
-I know that the focus has been
on repairs to the Hubble.

953
00:54:46.534 --> 00:54:48.534
Just how difficult
has that been,

954
00:54:48.534 --> 00:54:51.334
and what have you improved
on the Hubble telescope?

955
00:54:54.434 --> 00:54:56.033
-Well, for the EVA team,

956
00:54:56.033 --> 00:54:57.968
we were a little sad
to see the telescope go.

957
00:54:57.968 --> 00:55:01.067
We spent 5 days out in
the payload bay of Columbia

958
00:55:01.067 --> 00:55:02.400
doing our repairs,

959
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:04.501
and we installed
a new power system on Hubble

960
00:55:04.501 --> 00:55:06.601
that'll carry it
into the next decade

961
00:55:06.601 --> 00:55:09.534
and installed an advanced
camera for surveys.

962
00:55:09.534 --> 00:55:13.400
It's the new eye of Hubble
that's a super camera,

963
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:16.801
and it's got a large area
detector that'll allow it to see

964
00:55:16.801 --> 00:55:19.067
to the edge
of the visible universe

965
00:55:19.067 --> 00:55:22.901
and improve our knowledge
of our universe, our backyard.

966
00:55:22.901 --> 00:55:25.501
The repairs were hard
in some cases,

967
00:55:25.501 --> 00:55:27.467
and some things
went really smooth.

968
00:55:27.467 --> 00:55:29.400
And we were just lucky
to get it all done,

969
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:31.000
and I hope do it well.

970
00:55:34.434 --> 00:55:40.400
-How do you sleep up there?
-Hi, Allie.

971
00:55:40.400 --> 00:55:43.033
Well, we have little
sleeping bags that we roll out.

972
00:55:43.033 --> 00:55:44.901
You know, you're floating up
here all the time,

973
00:55:44.901 --> 00:55:47.100
so really you're not
sleeping in them

974
00:55:47.100 --> 00:55:49.367
but you're sort of
floating inside of them,

975
00:55:49.367 --> 00:55:51.300
and they help kind of
keep you in one place

976
00:55:51.300 --> 00:55:52.734
so you don't float
around the cabin

977
00:55:52.734 --> 00:55:55.868
while you're sleeping and bump
into people or switches.

978
00:55:55.868 --> 00:55:58.701
It's actually pretty good sleep.

979
00:56:01.868 --> 00:56:03.767
-Nancy Currie, I have
a question for you.

980
00:56:03.767 --> 00:56:06.801
There's a lot of young ladies
in this audience down here.

981
00:56:06.801 --> 00:56:09.100
What does it take
for a young woman

982
00:56:09.100 --> 00:56:11.501
to become an astronaut
such as yourself?

983
00:56:14.234 --> 00:56:15.834
-Well, if you look around NASA,

984
00:56:15.834 --> 00:56:17.868
not only the shuttle
but the control center

985
00:56:17.868 --> 00:56:19.467
or any of the NASA centers,

986
00:56:19.467 --> 00:56:22.267
you'll see women
well-represented

987
00:56:22.267 --> 00:56:24.100
in any of the disciplines,
and all it takes

988
00:56:24.100 --> 00:56:28.234
is a lot of hard work
and study math and science,

989
00:56:28.234 --> 00:56:30.901
and just whatever
you put your mind to

990
00:56:30.901 --> 00:56:34.167
and dedicate your life to,
you can succeed.

991
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:38.834
-How does it feel
to be weightless?

992
00:56:43.901 --> 00:56:45.601
-Well, you can see us up here
right now.

993
00:56:45.601 --> 00:56:48.367
We're kind of just floating up
and down,

994
00:56:48.367 --> 00:56:49.667
and when people ask me that,

995
00:56:49.667 --> 00:56:53.634
the best way to describe
for people on Earth

996
00:56:53.634 --> 00:56:54.901
what it feels like
to be weightless

997
00:56:54.901 --> 00:56:56.901
is if you've ever been
in a swimming pool

998
00:56:56.901 --> 00:56:58.501
and just bob around.

999
00:56:58.501 --> 00:57:00.834
It's almost like swimming
except you're in air,

1000
00:57:00.834 --> 00:57:04.033
then you float everywhere.
It's a lot of fun.

1001
00:57:04.033 --> 00:57:06.567
-You guys set a record
35 hours of space

1002
00:57:06.567 --> 00:57:08.934
walks in the past 5 days.

1003
00:57:08.934 --> 00:57:10.534
What was that like?

1004
00:57:13.601 --> 00:57:15.601
-Well, I'm just going to answer
for the entire crew in that

1005
00:57:15.601 --> 00:57:19.300
all of us kept very busy
during those space walks,

1006
00:57:19.300 --> 00:57:22.267
not only the folks outdoors
but the people inside,

1007
00:57:22.267 --> 00:57:25.200
Nancy driving the arm,
watching what's going on,

1008
00:57:25.200 --> 00:57:27.801
making sure we had
all the photo documentation.

1009
00:57:27.801 --> 00:57:31.567
There was -- the guys who are
not outside doing the space

1010
00:57:31.567 --> 00:57:35.567
walks were inside tracking
along, following procedures

1011
00:57:35.567 --> 00:57:37.334
and instructing
the space walkers

1012
00:57:37.334 --> 00:57:39.567
on what to do,
what settings to use,

1013
00:57:39.567 --> 00:57:44.934
so it's just been a very intense
9 days on concentrated effort.

1014
00:57:47.767 --> 00:57:53.367
-Would you tell us who your
greatest role model is and why?

1015
00:57:53.367 --> 00:57:54.968
-Greatest role model?

1016
00:58:00.300 --> 00:58:03.367
-Well, my biggest role model
is my father.

1017
00:58:03.367 --> 00:58:04.834
He worked very, very hard
when I was a kid,

1018
00:58:04.834 --> 00:58:08.334
and that was a good role model
for me to also work hard

1019
00:58:08.334 --> 00:58:10.267
and helped me
to become an astronaut.

1020
00:58:13.734 --> 00:58:15.734
-Does space really look
as beautiful

1021
00:58:15.734 --> 00:58:17.534
as the pictures we see?

1022
00:58:20.801 --> 00:58:23.467
-If you can believe it,
after my first mission,

1023
00:58:23.467 --> 00:58:26.534
the first thing that I said
is that no film in the world

1024
00:58:26.534 --> 00:58:29.367
can capture how truly
beautiful the world

1025
00:58:29.367 --> 00:58:30.634
is as we look out the window.

1026
00:58:30.634 --> 00:58:32.601
It is incredibly awesome,

1027
00:58:32.601 --> 00:58:34.734
and we would like
to capture on film,

1028
00:58:34.734 --> 00:58:38.100
but unfortunately film
just doesn't do it justice.

1029
00:58:38.100 --> 00:58:39.834
The pictures are beautiful
that we bring home,

1030
00:58:39.834 --> 00:58:41.667
but it's even
more beautiful up here.

1031
00:58:44.834 --> 00:58:47.601
-Is there any lingering concern
about that cooling system,

1032
00:58:47.601 --> 00:58:52.634
and how gratified are you
that you got through the week?

1033
00:58:52.634 --> 00:58:55.000
-Well, you know,
there's always the concern

1034
00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:59.467
that something could change,
but we are incredibly happy

1035
00:58:59.467 --> 00:59:02.000
and grateful that we were
able to stay up here.

1036
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:03.701
There was a lot of concern
a week ago,

1037
00:59:03.701 --> 00:59:06.300
and it's great to now
be able to look back

1038
00:59:06.300 --> 00:59:07.868
and see how much
that's turned around

1039
00:59:07.868 --> 00:59:10.467
and what a success
the mission has become.

1040
00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:15.701
-John Grunsfeld's suit
sprung a leak, quite literally,

1041
00:59:15.701 --> 00:59:17.400
some of the cooling water
that runs through it.

1042
00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:20.167
Jim, what went through
your mind at that time?

1043
00:59:20.167 --> 00:59:22.033
Was there time to think,
or did you just get

1044
00:59:22.033 --> 00:59:23.701
the towels out and get to it?

1045
00:59:25.801 --> 00:59:27.067
-The first thing that went
through my mind

1046
00:59:27.067 --> 00:59:29.667
is to immediately
let everybody know

1047
00:59:29.667 --> 00:59:31.467
that we weren't going
to be going out

1048
00:59:31.467 --> 00:59:34.000
in the next few minutes
as we thought we were going to

1049
00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:37.434
and that we needed
to assess the situation

1050
00:59:37.434 --> 00:59:40.300
so we could get Houston on board
with us as part of a team

1051
00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:41.701
to help us make
some good decisions

1052
00:59:41.701 --> 00:59:43.167
about where to go next.

1053
00:59:43.167 --> 00:59:44.801
I was sure we weren't going out
right away.

1054
00:59:44.801 --> 00:59:47.200
I was scared we wouldn't go out
at all that day,

1055
00:59:47.200 --> 00:59:49.767
but Houston let us do
a relatively quick turn

1056
00:59:49.767 --> 00:59:52.200
and press on with the EVA,
which was very successful.

1057
00:59:52.200 --> 00:59:54.968
We're very grateful.

1058
00:59:54.968 --> 00:59:56.934
-Set your time line back
by only a couple of hours,

1059
00:59:56.934 --> 00:59:58.234
no worse for the wear
as a result.

1060
00:59:58.234 --> 01:00:01.234
Mike Massimino,
a rookie astronaut,

1061
01:00:01.234 --> 01:00:05.434
rookie space walker obviously,
were you at all nervous

1062
01:00:05.434 --> 01:00:10.367
on that first go-round being
around a $2 billion telescope?

1063
01:00:10.367 --> 01:00:12.234
You know, you just don't want
to break it

1064
01:00:12.234 --> 01:00:14.367
because if you break it,
you own it, right?

1065
01:00:17.667 --> 01:00:21.167
-Well, yeah, I was
a little nervous

1066
01:00:21.167 --> 01:00:23.834
and wondering what was
going to happen,

1067
01:00:23.834 --> 01:00:25.634
but what made me feel better
about it, Miles,

1068
01:00:25.634 --> 01:00:28.701
was I had a real good partner,
my buddy with me out there.

1069
01:00:28.701 --> 01:00:32.033
I knew him and I
can work well together.

1070
01:00:32.033 --> 01:00:33.167
That made me feel a lot better.

1071
01:00:33.167 --> 01:00:34.434
I knew I was going to have
John and Rick

1072
01:00:34.434 --> 01:00:36.534
looking after us on
the checklist inside and Scooter

1073
01:00:36.534 --> 01:00:39.567
and Digger watching us and Nancy
flying me around on the arm

1074
01:00:39.567 --> 01:00:41.467
and, of course, all the folks
down in mission control

1075
01:00:41.467 --> 01:00:42.801
looking after us,

1076
01:00:42.801 --> 01:00:44.567
so when I thought of it
as a team effort,

1077
01:00:44.567 --> 01:00:45.734
that made me feel a lot better.

1078
01:00:45.734 --> 01:00:47.534
I knew the suits were good.

1079
01:00:47.534 --> 01:00:48.834
We were going to be safe
in the suits,

1080
01:00:48.834 --> 01:00:50.334
and everyone was
watching out for us,

1081
01:00:50.334 --> 01:00:52.200
so that made me
feel better about it.

1082
01:00:52.200 --> 01:00:56.400
All that said though, I knew
I really needed to be careful

1083
01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:59.067
that, you know, the actions that
we were going to be taking out

1084
01:00:59.067 --> 01:01:00.567
there we're going
to be important,

1085
01:01:00.567 --> 01:01:03.234
and we had to be real careful
with every move to make sure

1086
01:01:03.234 --> 01:01:06.467
that we did the right thing,
and as a result, we did,

1087
01:01:06.467 --> 01:01:10.767
and it was really just
an incredible experience.

1088
01:01:10.767 --> 01:01:12.234
-Well, I know you've got
to feel better

1089
01:01:12.234 --> 01:01:14.534
when you have guys with names
like Scooter and Digger

1090
01:01:14.534 --> 01:01:17.501
running the show. Let's move it
over to Nancy Currie,

1091
01:01:17.501 --> 01:01:19.634
who is running
that 50-foot robotic arm.

1092
01:01:19.634 --> 01:01:22.367
Nancy is an army
helicopter pilot,

1093
01:01:22.367 --> 01:01:25.100
which she says makes it easier
for her to do her job.

1094
01:01:25.100 --> 01:01:28.534
What's it like though having
a person on the end of that arm,

1095
01:01:28.534 --> 01:01:30.534
sort of like a human
socket wrench, Nancy?

1096
01:01:30.534 --> 01:01:34.667
Is it a nerve-racking job,
or do you sort of get into it,

1097
01:01:34.667 --> 01:01:37.234
and it becomes an extension
of your arm, almost?

1098
01:01:39.534 --> 01:01:40.767
-Yeah, I think that's
pretty well-said.

1099
01:01:40.767 --> 01:01:42.300
It really becomes
an extension of me,

1100
01:01:42.300 --> 01:01:43.901
and John said it best
the other day

1101
01:01:43.901 --> 01:01:46.200
that I was connected
to the hand controllers,

1102
01:01:46.200 --> 01:01:49.067
which were manipulating the arm,
which was connected to John,

1103
01:01:49.067 --> 01:01:52.200
which at one point was connected
to Rick maneuvering him,

1104
01:01:52.200 --> 01:01:55.434
and if that didn't epitomize
the team effort on this crew,

1105
01:01:55.434 --> 01:01:58.067
I'm not sure what did,
throughout the entire mission.

1106
01:02:02.200 --> 01:02:04.467
-And Scooter, with that,
the Orbit One team

1107
01:02:04.467 --> 01:02:06.901
is going to hand over
to the Orbit Two team.

1108
01:02:06.901 --> 01:02:08.434
Steve and Tony and the rest
of the Orbit

1109
01:02:08.434 --> 01:02:10.300
One team will take you
the rest of the way.

1110
01:02:10.300 --> 01:02:13.200
Fantastic job today
as with the rest

1111
01:02:13.200 --> 01:02:15.934
of the previous days
of the mission.

1112
01:02:15.934 --> 01:02:17.634
You guys were superb throughout,

1113
01:02:17.634 --> 01:02:21.701
and it was a pleasure being here
to watch it all unfold.

1114
01:02:21.701 --> 01:02:23.300
We'll catch you tomorrow.

1115
01:02:25.968 --> 01:02:29.400
-And, Mario, please pass to
the whole control center again

1116
01:02:29.400 --> 01:02:32.767
just every day working with you
guys has been a treat,

1117
01:02:32.767 --> 01:02:34.767
keeping us in sync,
watching our back.

1118
01:02:34.767 --> 01:02:37.400
We appreciate it
and have enjoyed.

1119
01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:39.067
We'll look forward to seeing
you tomorrow

1120
01:02:39.067 --> 01:02:40.868
and working with Orbit Two now.

1121
01:02:45.601 --> 01:02:47.801
-Houston, Columbia,
I think what'll be captured

1122
01:02:47.801 --> 01:02:50.167
in the rest of the images

1123
01:02:50.167 --> 01:02:52.534
you're going to see
is what a busy time

1124
01:02:52.534 --> 01:02:54.501
we had on the flight deck
this morning.

1125
01:02:57.767 --> 01:02:59.634
-Understand, Digger,
and that's great.

1126
01:04:37.133 --> 01:04:38.634
-This is Mission Control
Houston.

1127
01:04:38.634 --> 01:04:41.033
You're looking at video
that was recorded earlier today

1128
01:04:41.033 --> 01:04:42.834
as the crew of Columbia

1129
01:04:42.834 --> 01:04:45.534
was preparing to deploy
the Hubble Space Telescope.

1130
01:05:24.934 --> 01:05:26.367
The seven crew members
aboard Columbia

1131
01:05:26.367 --> 01:05:29.934
have a quiet afternoon planned
doing a bit of cleanup tasks

1132
01:05:29.934 --> 01:05:32.400
and some other light work
that they need to get done.

1133
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:35.400
They are scheduled to go to bed
in just a little over 3 hours

1134
01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:39.300
at 11:52 a.m. Central Time.

1135
01:05:41.667 --> 01:05:45.067
Earlier this morning,
a little after 4 at 4:04 a.m.

1136
01:05:45.067 --> 01:05:46.400
Central Time,

1137
01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:48.801
Columbia's crew deployed
the Hubble Space Telescope

1138
01:05:48.801 --> 01:05:51.300
after having completed
five very successful space

1139
01:05:51.300 --> 01:05:54.300
walks that upgraded all
the systems on that telescope.

1140
01:06:06.801 --> 01:06:10.901
-I'd like to introduce Nancy
Currie, MS2 on this flight,

1141
01:06:10.901 --> 01:06:13.267
and she's involved
in everything we do.

1142
01:06:13.267 --> 01:06:16.501
You know, we have folks that
primarily specialize in EVAs

1143
01:06:16.501 --> 01:06:18.100
and folks like Scooter

1144
01:06:18.100 --> 01:06:21.100
and I that primarily specialize
in sitting in the front seat,

1145
01:06:21.100 --> 01:06:23.934
but Nancy swings
between both crews,

1146
01:06:23.934 --> 01:06:27.834
and she's been busy
the whole time.

1147
01:06:27.834 --> 01:06:30.133
Now we have a question for Nancy
from the Internet.

1148
01:06:30.133 --> 01:06:34.434
It's from Marcello from Bronx,
New York, age 26,

1149
01:06:34.434 --> 01:06:37.033
and Marcello asks,
"As I understand it,

1150
01:06:37.033 --> 01:06:39.300
prior to your final approach
with the Hubble,

1151
01:06:39.300 --> 01:06:41.634
you have to turn off
the reaction jets on the shuttle

1152
01:06:41.634 --> 01:06:44.667
to prevent any blasting
onto the satellite.

1153
01:06:44.667 --> 01:06:46.767
How are you able to fine-tune
your approach to Hubble

1154
01:06:46.767 --> 01:06:48.367
without those jets?"

1155
01:06:50.667 --> 01:06:53.834
-Well, Marcello, that's a really
good question, and in fact,

1156
01:06:53.834 --> 01:06:57.601
we use a term onboard
the shuttle called low-Z,

1157
01:06:57.601 --> 01:07:02.067
and what that does is enable
certain jets to not fire,

1158
01:07:02.067 --> 01:07:05.467
specifically not to
prune the spacecraft.

1159
01:07:05.467 --> 01:07:07.634
We don't want to prune
the spacecraft arrays

1160
01:07:07.634 --> 01:07:09.300
and cause any tumbling

1161
01:07:09.300 --> 01:07:12.000
or put any additional rates
on the spacecraft,

1162
01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:16.267
and sure enough, when we made
the Hubble approach, Scooter,

1163
01:07:16.267 --> 01:07:18.334
our commander
was flying manually.

1164
01:07:18.334 --> 01:07:21.100
He did a fantastic job.

1165
01:07:21.100 --> 01:07:24.701
When it was all stable and ready
for me to maneuver the arm,

1166
01:07:24.701 --> 01:07:26.400
we determined
that between ourselves,

1167
01:07:26.400 --> 01:07:28.334
and then I maneuvered the arm
over and grappled with it.

1168
01:07:28.334 --> 01:07:29.634
He made it really easy for me

1169
01:07:29.634 --> 01:07:33.667
because he just did
a fantastic job with rendezvous.

1170
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:37.734
-You know, Nancy, while I've got
you here,

1171
01:07:37.734 --> 01:07:40.534
I couldn't help but notice
during our training

1172
01:07:40.534 --> 01:07:44.934
that you have a peculiar
philosophy in training.

1173
01:07:44.934 --> 01:07:48.367
Nancy likes to practice,
and then she likes to practice,

1174
01:07:48.367 --> 01:07:49.701
and then she likes to practice,

1175
01:07:49.701 --> 01:07:52.200
and then she keeps practicing
until she gets orbit,

1176
01:07:52.200 --> 01:07:54.200
and then I think she even
practices in her sleep

1177
01:07:54.200 --> 01:07:55.934
before she actually
does something.

1178
01:07:55.934 --> 01:07:57.767
What is your philosophy
on accomplishing

1179
01:07:57.767 --> 01:08:01.501
difficult tasks
like this mission?

1180
01:08:01.501 --> 01:08:03.968
-Well, Digger, I guess
you said it best.

1181
01:08:03.968 --> 01:08:05.234
You can't have enough practice,

1182
01:08:05.234 --> 01:08:09.234
and, you know,
you can always learn.

1183
01:08:09.234 --> 01:08:11.934
We have two folks
on this flight,

1184
01:08:11.934 --> 01:08:15.734
Digger and Mike Massimino,
who are rookies.

1185
01:08:15.734 --> 01:08:19.334
They're no longer rookies,
but what they lend to a crew

1186
01:08:19.334 --> 01:08:20.968
is a new way
of looking at things,

1187
01:08:20.968 --> 01:08:25.067
and they've just got a really
unique way of looking at things,

1188
01:08:25.067 --> 01:08:28.167
and we learned a lot
from Digger this flight.

1189
01:08:31.934 --> 01:08:33.367
-Yes, we've done
a lot of difficult things

1190
01:08:33.367 --> 01:08:34.767
together on this flight,

1191
01:08:34.767 --> 01:08:38.234
but we have a couple more
big ones to go, don't we?

1192
01:08:38.234 --> 01:08:39.934
-You bet.
It's not over until it's over,

1193
01:08:39.934 --> 01:08:42.868
and we know that and the three
of us on the flight deck,

1194
01:08:42.868 --> 01:08:45.934
and Rick will be riding
along with us,

1195
01:08:45.934 --> 01:08:50.033
and he's just a tremendous help
as MS1 for the entry,

1196
01:08:50.033 --> 01:08:53.000
and we all know
we got a big day coming up,

1197
01:08:53.000 --> 01:08:55.167
and we're going to keep focused
on that,

1198
01:08:55.167 --> 01:08:58.701
and
it's not over until we all stop.

1199
01:08:58.701 --> 01:09:00.200
-Okay, Nancy, thanks a lot,

1200
01:09:00.200 --> 01:09:02.567
and that's it for the Internet
questions for tonight.

1201
01:09:11.467 --> 01:09:12.934
-Columbia currently
orbiting the Earth

1202
01:09:12.934 --> 01:09:15.968
over the Central Eastern
Pacific Ocean,

1203
01:09:15.968 --> 01:09:19.100
just passing over the equator
on a southeasterly track

1204
01:09:19.100 --> 01:09:21.133
that will take them
over a central portion

1205
01:09:21.133 --> 01:09:22.734
of South America.

1206
01:09:47.267 --> 01:09:49.334
You're looking at the coast
of northwestern Chile

1207
01:09:49.334 --> 01:09:53.033
from an altitude
of 359 statute miles,

1208
01:09:53.033 --> 01:09:55.534
this view provided by camera
in the forward section

1209
01:09:55.534 --> 01:09:57.267
of the payload bay of Columbia.

1210
01:10:16.701 --> 01:10:19.400
About to experience an orbital
sunrise.
