00:00:33,133 --> 00:00:36,267
-Good afternoon from the Kennedy
Space Center in Florida.

5
00:00:36,267 --> 00:00:40,133
This is Space Shuttle
Discovery's launch control.

6
00:00:40,133 --> 00:00:42,267
The countdown for launch
of the Space Shuttle Discovery

7
00:00:42,267 --> 00:00:46,801
on STS-103 is continuing
on schedule this afternoon.

8
00:00:46,801 --> 00:00:51,767
Launch is scheduled to occur
at 7:50 p.m. Eastern Time,

9
00:00:51,767 --> 00:00:55,167
and the launch-opportunity
window extends for 42 minutes.

10
00:00:55,167 --> 00:00:59,868
The window closes at 8:32 p.m.

11
00:00:59,868 --> 00:01:01,868
In order for us to make
a launch attempt today,

12
00:01:01,868 --> 00:01:04,901
mission managers conceded
2 days of the plan's

13
00:01:04,901 --> 00:01:08,000
10-day mission of STS-103.

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,534
The last of the four
EVAs scheduled for this mission

15
00:01:10,534 --> 00:01:12,567
has been eliminated,

16
00:01:12,567 --> 00:01:15,000
and the crew off-duty day
has also been eliminated

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,167
since the mission will now
only be 8 days long.

18
00:01:18,167 --> 00:01:20,100
That puts a landing scheduled
for Kennedy Space

19
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:23,868
Center on December
27th at about 5:24 p.m.

20
00:01:23,868 --> 00:01:26,033
Eastern Time.

21
00:01:26,033 --> 00:01:27,601
The shortened mission
will allow for landing

22
00:01:27,601 --> 00:01:29,234
and postlanding
ground operations

23
00:01:29,234 --> 00:01:31,000
to be conducted
at Kennedy Space Center

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,934
or if necessary
at Edwards Air Force

25
00:01:32,934 --> 00:01:37,801
Base in California
prior to the end of the year.

26
00:01:37,801 --> 00:01:39,467
A primary objective
of this flight

27
00:01:39,467 --> 00:01:41,400
is to rendezvous
with the Hubble Space

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,601
Telescope that was first placed
into low Earth orbit aboard

29
00:01:44,601 --> 00:01:47,033
Discovery in April of 1990,

30
00:01:47,033 --> 00:01:49,267
and once we complete
the rendezvous on Tuesday

31
00:01:49,267 --> 00:01:52,267
and grapple the telescope
with the orbiter's robotic arm,

32
00:01:52,267 --> 00:01:53,567
the seven-member crew
of Discovery

33
00:01:53,567 --> 00:01:55,834
will spend the next 3 days
in space

34
00:01:55,834 --> 00:01:59,167
performing three EVAs,
or space walks,

35
00:01:59,167 --> 00:02:00,534
to replace the various parts

36
00:02:00,534 --> 00:02:04,901
and get the telescope
back into functional health,

37
00:02:04,901 --> 00:02:08,601
and we have a live shot
of our seven astronauts

38
00:02:08,601 --> 00:02:12,067
as they're seated for their
lunch before suiting up

39
00:02:12,067 --> 00:02:15,000
and going out to the pad.

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,767
All astronauts have been awake

41
00:02:16,767 --> 00:02:19,601
since several hours
earlier this morning.

42
00:02:19,601 --> 00:02:23,167
Claude Nicollier,
from the European Space Agency,

43
00:02:23,167 --> 00:02:24,834
was preparing
for his fourth flight.

44
00:02:24,834 --> 00:02:30,901
Michael Foale is preparing
for his fifth flight.

45
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:34,234
Our pilot, first-time flier
on the shuttle, Scott Kelly,

46
00:02:34,234 --> 00:02:38,400
and commander of all,
Curt Brown,

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,767
preparing for his sixth flight.

48
00:02:42,767 --> 00:02:45,868
Rounding out the crew, again,
there's seven crew members here,

49
00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:51,334
Jean-François Clervoy as well
as the other crew members:

50
00:02:51,334 --> 00:02:56,367
Steve Smith and John Grunsfeld,
whom we just saw.

51
00:02:56,367 --> 00:03:00,200
All astronauts, of course, are
well-prepared for this mission.

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,067
They've been training for most
of this year for this flight.

53
00:03:05,067 --> 00:03:07,667
They've actually been in town
since about December the 6th,

54
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:11,701
but with a number of delays,
they have had some opportunities

55
00:03:11,701 --> 00:03:15,868
to, of course, fly on the
shuttle-training aircraft

56
00:03:15,868 --> 00:03:17,234
to go through
their flight plans,

57
00:03:17,234 --> 00:03:20,234
to make any additional changes

58
00:03:20,234 --> 00:03:22,767
that they might feel are
necessary to this mission now

59
00:03:22,767 --> 00:03:26,267
that we've got 2 days
less in the flight

60
00:03:26,267 --> 00:03:28,501
than we had earlier planned,

61
00:03:28,501 --> 00:03:32,734
but all are prepared for launch
this afternoon with our time,

62
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:35,267
the opening of the window,
7:50 p.m.

63
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:39,968
Close-in now of
the traditional cake

64
00:03:39,968 --> 00:03:43,767
that is baked for the crew,
indicating their crew patch.

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,968
This is Shuttle Launch Control
with about 21 minutes

66
00:03:55,968 --> 00:03:59,334
remaining in our built-in hold
at T-minus 3 hours,

67
00:03:59,334 --> 00:04:01,734
and we have live
TV of our crew

68
00:04:01,734 --> 00:04:08,734
as they are being suited up for
their ride into space tonight.

69
00:04:08,734 --> 00:04:10,367
Curt Brown, our commander,

70
00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:16,000
preparing for his
sixth space shuttle flight.

71
00:04:20,968 --> 00:04:27,133
Scott Kelly, our pilot,
who will be on his first flight.

72
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:29,767
Scott has a twin brother
in the Astronaut Corps

73
00:04:29,767 --> 00:04:32,300
as well, Mark.

74
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:36,267
They both joined the Corps
back a couple of years ago.

75
00:04:38,367 --> 00:04:41,367
John Grunsfeld has flown
three times,

76
00:04:41,367 --> 00:04:44,267
or this will be
his third flight, actually,

77
00:04:44,267 --> 00:04:46,734
and he will be
one of our space walkers

78
00:04:46,734 --> 00:04:49,901
on this mission
for EVAs one and three.

79
00:04:52,701 --> 00:04:56,634
Going over to the other side
of the room, Steve Smith:

80
00:04:56,634 --> 00:05:01,434
He is preparing for his
third flight today as well.

81
00:05:01,434 --> 00:05:03,934
Jean-François Clervoy
from France,

82
00:05:03,934 --> 00:05:07,868
one of the European
Space Agency astronauts.

83
00:05:07,868 --> 00:05:10,267
He's been on the shuttle twice.

84
00:05:10,267 --> 00:05:14,300
He's preparing for
his third flight today.

85
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:17,000
Claude
Nicollier from Switzerland,

86
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,367
also of
the European Space Agency:

87
00:05:22,834 --> 00:05:24,634
Claude has flown
three times before.

88
00:05:24,634 --> 00:05:27,734
This will be his fourth flight
into space.

89
00:05:27,734 --> 00:05:30,734
Michael Foale,
we all remember him

90
00:05:30,734 --> 00:05:32,367
from his 4-month stay aboard

91
00:05:32,367 --> 00:05:35,801
the Russian Space Station Mir
back in '97.

92
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,868
Live shots of our astronauts now

93
00:05:53,868 --> 00:05:55,467
as they come out
of their crew quarters

94
00:05:55,467 --> 00:05:57,000
on the third floor
of the Operations

95
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,534
and Checkout Building,
making their way to the elevator

96
00:06:00,534 --> 00:06:02,234
that will carry them down
to the ground floor

97
00:06:02,234 --> 00:06:04,734
of the Operations
and Checkout building,

98
00:06:04,734 --> 00:06:08,100
and from there, they will enter
the astronaut van

99
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:11,100
that will drive them out
to Pad 39B.

100
00:06:14,567 --> 00:06:17,267
Support personnel riding
in the elevator with them.

101
00:06:22,868 --> 00:06:26,133
And here they come,
and with the launch tonight,

102
00:06:26,133 --> 00:06:27,968
this will be
the first shuttle crew

103
00:06:27,968 --> 00:06:31,501
to spend Christmas in orbit,
and on Christmas Day,

104
00:06:31,501 --> 00:06:34,300
they will deploy
the Hubble Space Telescope

105
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:37,501
after three space walks to get
it back into functional health.

106
00:06:37,501 --> 00:06:42,434
The crew is being led
by Commander Curt Brown.

107
00:06:42,434 --> 00:06:44,400
We have Scott Kelly as a pilot,

108
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,968
mission specialist Steve Smith,
Jean-François Clervoy,

109
00:06:48,968 --> 00:06:53,601
John Grunsfeld, Michael Foale
and Claude Nicollier.

110
00:07:05,701 --> 00:07:09,200
And we see crew members
with our pad cameras

111
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,667
now walking toward
the orbiter access arm

112
00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:17,367
on the 195-foot level
of the fixed service structure,

113
00:07:17,367 --> 00:07:20,801
and they will soon begin
entering the vehicle.

114
00:07:24,434 --> 00:07:26,834
-CC, OVCC.
-And we have our first view

115
00:07:26,834 --> 00:07:31,400
today of the inside
of the Shuttle Discovery

116
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:39,434
as commander Curt Brown
is helped into his seat.

117
00:08:04,133 --> 00:08:08,868
And we now have another picture
of the mid-deck as...

118
00:08:08,868 --> 00:08:12,100
-The CC...
-...Nicollier finds his seat

119
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:13,801
on the starboard side
of the vehicle.

120
00:08:13,801 --> 00:08:15,400
-...onboard at this time.

121
00:08:34,300 --> 00:08:35,767
-And a shot
from a different angle

122
00:08:35,767 --> 00:08:39,000
at this time
of the crew compartment,

123
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,267
the forward crew compartment,
on the flight deck.

124
00:08:43,267 --> 00:08:50,467
This is a shot of Scott Kelly,
our pilot, being suited up.

125
00:08:50,467 --> 00:08:55,300
Commander Curt Brown
is on the other side of him.

126
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:56,534
As you can see, bright sunlight

127
00:08:56,534 --> 00:08:59,901
coming in through
the orbiter's windows

128
00:08:59,901 --> 00:09:03,868
is very indicative
of the sunshine outside

129
00:09:03,868 --> 00:09:07,934
and the fact that we have
virtually cloudless skies.

130
00:09:37,434 --> 00:09:39,701
-Launch Director, you have
the MMT concurrence

131
00:09:39,701 --> 00:09:43,734
and authorization
to continue with launch.

132
00:09:43,734 --> 00:09:49,267
-Okay, copy, CDR.
-CR, go.

133
00:09:49,267 --> 00:09:51,167
-Yeah, Curt, we appreciate
your patience

134
00:09:51,167 --> 00:09:52,200
in hanging in there with us.

135
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,801
The vehicle and team
are ready to go.

136
00:09:54,801 --> 00:09:58,234
We hope to have a great mission
to Hubble,

137
00:09:58,234 --> 00:10:01,000
and we'll see you back here
before the next millennium.

138
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,200
-Okay.
We copy that, and we know

139
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,901
it's been a little bit
challenging over the past month

140
00:10:08,901 --> 00:10:10,868
to get us ready to go,

141
00:10:10,868 --> 00:10:12,701
but we knew
we had the best processing

142
00:10:12,701 --> 00:10:16,467
and the best launch team
in the known universe behind us.

143
00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:17,968
So we're honored to be part
of that team,

144
00:10:17,968 --> 00:10:19,868
and we have one request.

145
00:10:19,868 --> 00:10:21,634
We'd like you to send a note
to Hubble to get ready

146
00:10:21,634 --> 00:10:23,200
because we're on our way.

147
00:10:27,534 --> 00:10:29,000
-Okay, Curt.
We appreciate that,

148
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
and we're looking forward
to the next few days

149
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,601
to watch you do your magic,
and NTD, launch director.

150
00:10:35,601 --> 00:10:37,200
-Launch director, go ahead.

151
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
-Have a go to pick up
the count at nine.

152
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,000
-Copy that.

153
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,067
-Standing by for orbiter
access arm

154
00:10:47,067 --> 00:10:49,467
to be retracted away
from the vehicle.

155
00:10:49,467 --> 00:10:52,734
This is the walkway used by
the crew to gain entry

156
00:10:52,734 --> 00:10:54,234
into and out of the vehicle.

157
00:10:54,234 --> 00:10:57,400
It can be returned to position
within seconds if necessary.

158
00:11:06,334 --> 00:11:08,100
Three main engines
are being gimbaled

159
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:10,067
as the final test before launch.

160
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,968
Everything continues
to look good,

161
00:11:15,968 --> 00:11:17,567
and we are cleared
for launch tonight.

162
00:11:17,567 --> 00:11:19,601
No problems are being reported
from the vehicle

163
00:11:19,601 --> 00:11:21,200
or from the crew.

164
00:11:29,033 --> 00:11:31,767
-OTC, PLT, caution and warning,
memory is cleared,

165
00:11:31,767 --> 00:11:33,400
no unexpected errors.

166
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,701
-Copy.

167
00:11:34,701 --> 00:11:36,667
Discovery, close and lock
your visors

168
00:11:36,667 --> 00:11:38,467
and initiate O2 flow.

169
00:11:38,467 --> 00:11:41,334
Have a safe journey to Hubble
and continue man's quest

170
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:43,434
to unveil
the secrets of the universe.

171
00:11:43,434 --> 00:11:47,033
We'll see you in 8 days.

172
00:11:47,033 --> 00:11:49,367
-Discovery copies,
advise there's O2.

173
00:11:52,767 --> 00:11:57,400
-CLS is go for ET,
LH2 pressurization.

174
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,767
-T-minus 15 seconds.

175
00:12:00,767 --> 00:12:06,100
Twelve, 11, 10,
nine, eight, seven.

176
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:08,834
We have a go
for main engine start.

177
00:12:08,834 --> 00:12:12,868
Four, three, two, one.

178
00:12:12,868 --> 00:12:15,300
We have booster ignition
and liftoff

179
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:17,234
of the Space Shuttle Discovery,

180
00:12:17,234 --> 00:12:19,267
mission to prepare
the Hubble Space Telescope

181
00:12:19,267 --> 00:12:21,934
as we venture
into the 21st century.

182
00:12:24,033 --> 00:12:26,868
-Houston, Discovery.
Roll program.

183
00:12:26,868 --> 00:12:29,667
-Roger roll, Discovery.

184
00:12:29,667 --> 00:12:30,767
-Houston is now controlling.

185
00:12:30,767 --> 00:12:32,133
A roll maneuver is complete.

186
00:12:32,133 --> 00:12:34,567
Discovery is now in a heads-down
position,

187
00:12:34,567 --> 00:12:38,434
on course for 28 1/2 degree,
310-nautical-mile orbit.

188
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:49,801
Discovery's three main engines

189
00:12:49,801 --> 00:12:51,267
now are beginning
to throttle down

190
00:12:51,267 --> 00:12:53,567
to lessen the effects
of the dense lower regions

191
00:12:53,567 --> 00:12:55,567
of the atmosphere
on the orbiter,

192
00:12:55,567 --> 00:12:58,834
Discovery already traveling
700 miles per hour,

193
00:12:58,834 --> 00:13:01,634
3 miles altitude,
a little more than a mile

194
00:13:01,634 --> 00:13:03,801
downrange from
the Kennedy Space Center.

195
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,601
Now 1 minute into the flight,

196
00:13:14,601 --> 00:13:17,300
the three main engines now
beginning to throttle back up.

197
00:13:24,067 --> 00:13:27,634
-Discovery, Houston,
go at throttle up.

198
00:13:27,634 --> 00:13:28,767
-Discovery copies.

199
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:30,601
Go at throttle up.

200
00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:32,601
-Now 1 minute,
20 seconds into the flight,

201
00:13:32,601 --> 00:13:34,701
Discovery already 10 miles
in altitude

202
00:13:34,701 --> 00:13:36,834
and downrange 7 miles
from the launch site,

203
00:13:36,834 --> 00:13:40,000
traveling 1,500 miles per hour,

204
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,234
all systems are looking
good aboard Discovery,

205
00:13:42,234 --> 00:13:45,667
three good electrical systems
as fuel cells

206
00:13:45,667 --> 00:13:47,133
and also the auxiliary
power unit

207
00:13:47,133 --> 00:13:50,968
is providing hydraulic power
to the vehicle.

208
00:13:50,968 --> 00:13:52,934
All three main engines
still in excellent shape,

209
00:13:52,934 --> 00:13:57,501
approaching 1 minute
40 seconds into the flight.

210
00:13:57,501 --> 00:14:00,167
The next step is burnout
and separation of the twin

211
00:14:00,167 --> 00:14:02,334
Solid Rocket Boosters
on the orbiter.

212
00:14:02,334 --> 00:14:05,400
Discovery system now weighs
half of what it did at liftoff,

213
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,501
having burned half
its total weight in propellant.

214
00:14:22,334 --> 00:14:26,534
-Discovery, Houston,
two engine Ben.

215
00:14:26,534 --> 00:14:29,067
-Discovery copies,
two engine Benguerra.

216
00:14:29,067 --> 00:14:32,767
-The SRB separation
has been confirmed.

217
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:35,334
The crew has also been told
that they can get

218
00:14:35,334 --> 00:14:39,100
to the Benguerra Transatlantic
Abort Site on two engines,

219
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:42,934
should one fail at this point,
all systems in excellent shape

220
00:14:42,934 --> 00:14:45,534
and all very quiet here
at mission control,

221
00:14:45,534 --> 00:14:48,200
three good main engines,
three good hydraulic systems

222
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,267
and fuel cells
aboard the orbiter.

223
00:14:50,267 --> 00:14:52,634
Discovery's altitude
is 40 miles,

224
00:14:52,634 --> 00:14:55,334
downrange now from the Kennedy
Space Center 55 miles.

225
00:14:55,334 --> 00:14:59,300
Discovery is now traveling
3,500 miles per hour,

226
00:15:03,067 --> 00:15:06,701
and we're back here
in mission control in Houston,

227
00:15:06,701 --> 00:15:09,801
capturing these live views
from Discovery

228
00:15:09,801 --> 00:15:12,000
as the payload bay doors
are opened

229
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,501
as the vehicle
completes its first orbit,

230
00:15:14,501 --> 00:15:16,467
flying within range of
the Merritt Island

231
00:15:16,467 --> 00:15:19,968
Tracking Station in Florida.

232

-Good morning, Houston.

261
00:18:25,801 --> 00:18:27,100
Houston, Discovery for payloads.

262
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:31,667
We've completed step four
now of SSE checkout,

263
00:18:31,667 --> 00:18:35,033
and we're on to page
197, step five.

264
00:18:35,033 --> 00:18:37,501
No anomalies to report.

265
00:18:37,501 --> 00:18:39,267
-Thanks, Steve.
We're with you.

266
00:18:47,968 --> 00:18:50,767
And, Discovery, we've got a good
end-effector camera view

267
00:18:50,767 --> 00:18:51,801
down here.

268
00:18:53,901 --> 00:18:57,634
-In this unique Vantage point,
looking from the end-effector

269
00:18:57,634 --> 00:18:59,200
camera
on the shuttle's robotic arm,

270
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,667
looking straight down
into the payload bay

271
00:19:02,667 --> 00:19:05,200
down at the flight-support
system.

272
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,601
Again, that will be
the structure that will house

273
00:19:09,601 --> 00:19:10,934
the Hubble Space Telescope

274
00:19:10,934 --> 00:19:16,033
secured in the payload bay
throughout the three space

275
00:19:16,033 --> 00:19:19,901
walks that are scheduled
for the flight.

276
00:19:19,901 --> 00:19:21,267
Underway now now that
the robotic arm

277
00:19:21,267 --> 00:19:23,100
has been checked out

278
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:27,267
is the traditional payload bay
survey using the robotic arm.

279
00:19:37,167 --> 00:19:38,767
And next coming into view

280
00:19:38,767 --> 00:19:43,000
is the orbital-replacement
unit carrier,

281
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,200
the same carrier
that's been used on

282
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,434
all of the Hubble
servicing missions,

283
00:19:47,434 --> 00:19:51,033
housing in various
compartments and boxes,

284
00:19:51,033 --> 00:19:55,067
the components that will be
installed in the telescope.

285
00:19:55,067 --> 00:19:57,200
These various containers
and cannisters

286
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,534
will also house
the components

287
00:19:59,534 --> 00:20:01,534
that are removed
from the telescope

288
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:03,200
to be returned to Earth.

289
00:20:29,033 --> 00:20:30,667
Again, the entire structure
is called

290
00:20:30,667 --> 00:20:33,234
the Orbital Replacement
Unit Carrier,

291
00:20:33,234 --> 00:20:37,767
and then each box within this
carrier have specific names,

292
00:20:40,934 --> 00:20:43,133
signifying which
compartment houses,

293
00:20:43,133 --> 00:20:45,334
which pieces of equipment

294
00:20:45,334 --> 00:20:48,167
that will be installed
in the telescope.

295
00:20:55,667 --> 00:20:58,767
And now the robotic arm
moving back across the top

296
00:20:58,767 --> 00:21:01,200
of the Orbital
Replacement Unit Carrier.

297
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:07,334
First in view there in the
center is the forward fixture,

298
00:21:07,334 --> 00:21:10,300
which actually is
the compartment

299
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:13,367
that's housing
the new Fine Guidance Sensor

300
00:21:13,367 --> 00:21:17,400
that will be installed
on the second space walk.

301
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,667
-Well, thank you very much,
Curt, and let me start off

302
00:21:54,667 --> 00:21:57,334
by congratulating you
on a beautiful launch yesterday.

303
00:21:57,334 --> 00:21:58,801
A lot of us never thought
you were going

304
00:21:58,801 --> 00:22:00,300
to make it off
the ground this year,

305
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:03,067
and I guess I was wondering what
you thought your chances were,

306
00:22:03,067 --> 00:22:05,734
and did you feel there was
any undue rush there at the end

307
00:22:05,734 --> 00:22:10,501
to beat what turned out to be
a less-than-firm deadline?

308
00:22:10,501 --> 00:22:13,167
-Well, Bill, I can't take
any credit for that launch.

309
00:22:13,167 --> 00:22:15,601
As you know, we do a lot
of training

310
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:17,334
to make sure we can handle
whatever happens,

311
00:22:17,334 --> 00:22:19,234
but the credit
for that beautiful launch

312
00:22:19,234 --> 00:22:22,300
goes to the team down
at Kennedy Space Center.

313
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,067
They have been working
quite a few hours here lately

314
00:22:25,067 --> 00:22:27,000
to get us off this year

315
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,367
and have us on this mission
to come up, repair Hubble,

316
00:22:30,367 --> 00:22:31,801
and so we're very proud
of that team,

317
00:22:31,801 --> 00:22:34,467
and we're just glad
to be part of that team.

318
00:22:34,467 --> 00:22:36,000
-But just to make sure
I'm understanding,

319
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,868
you didn't feel there was
any rush at all to get you off?

320
00:22:37,868 --> 00:22:39,501
I mean, I'm taking it from
your answer that you thought

321
00:22:39,501 --> 00:22:42,601
that this was all done
in an appropriate fashion.

322
00:22:45,501 --> 00:22:47,100
-Well, Bill, there's kind
of a joke

323
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:50,234
that you always like to have
a shuttle mission ahead of you,

324
00:22:50,234 --> 00:22:53,801
so you can train and always have
something to look forward to,

325
00:22:53,801 --> 00:22:57,868
but in our case, I think
the vehicle was ready to go.

326
00:22:57,868 --> 00:23:00,601
The weather was ready to go, and
we were definitely ready to go,

327
00:23:00,601 --> 00:23:03,267
and obviously, Hubble was up
needing the servicing,

328
00:23:03,267 --> 00:23:04,534
and so we're up here.

329
00:23:04,534 --> 00:23:06,767
So if the vehicle is ready
and the crew is ready,

330
00:23:06,767 --> 00:23:09,200
I think the right thing to do
is go launch.

331
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,701
-Well, launching when you do,
of course,

332
00:23:10,701 --> 00:23:12,434
means you've had to shorten
your mission from 10 days to 8

333
00:23:12,434 --> 00:23:15,934
and give up one of your planned
space walks for Mike Foale.

334
00:23:15,934 --> 00:23:17,634
I was wondering what
your thoughts are about that

335
00:23:17,634 --> 00:23:19,601
and how confident you are
about restoring Hubble

336
00:23:19,601 --> 00:23:22,234
to good health
with three space walks.

337
00:23:24,601 --> 00:23:26,901
-Well, I'm sure we can achieve
all of the objectives

338
00:23:26,901 --> 00:23:30,100
that were specified as necessary
for 100 percent success,

339
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,434
and that's basically to replace
the gyroscopes

340
00:23:32,434 --> 00:23:34,868
that have failed
on the telescope,

341
00:23:34,868 --> 00:23:38,133
and also change out the computer
and charging units

342
00:23:38,133 --> 00:23:40,367
and the Fine Guidance Sensor.

343
00:23:40,367 --> 00:23:42,033
Those are the critical elements

344
00:23:42,033 --> 00:23:43,701
that have to be done
for this flight,

345
00:23:43,701 --> 00:23:45,701
and we'll achieve those
actually in two EVAs,

346
00:23:45,701 --> 00:23:49,100
and then we'll get some extra
tasks done on the third one.

347
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:50,334
-Were you disappointed, Mike,
yourself?

348
00:23:50,334 --> 00:23:51,767
I guess you're one of the ones

349
00:23:51,767 --> 00:23:53,701
that's going to lose an EVA
after all that training.

350
00:23:53,701 --> 00:23:57,534
I'm just wondering
how frustrating that is.

351
00:23:57,534 --> 00:23:58,701
-Well, they come.

352
00:23:58,701 --> 00:24:01,000
They go, and you have to kind
of roll with it.

353
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,234
Sometimes, things change, and
you get more than you asked for.

354
00:24:04,234 --> 00:24:05,868
Sometimes, you get less.

355
00:24:05,868 --> 00:24:08,634
It's really something I try
and look,

356
00:24:08,634 --> 00:24:10,400
you know, in the big picture,
down the road a bit,

357
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,300
there will be other flights,
other chances.

358
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:16,801
Certainly, I would regret not
getting as many EVAs as I could,

359
00:24:16,801 --> 00:24:19,767
you know, being greedy as I am,
but this is fine,

360
00:24:19,767 --> 00:24:22,934
and I understand why
the program made this decision.

361
00:24:22,934 --> 00:24:25,501
-Curt, your crew is just
the third in American history,

362
00:24:25,501 --> 00:24:27,467
I guess, space history,
to be in orbit over Christmas,

363
00:24:27,467 --> 00:24:29,367
and the first in the history
of the shuttle program,

364
00:24:29,367 --> 00:24:31,734
and I know you guys are going
to be busy on Christmas Day

365
00:24:31,734 --> 00:24:33,467
redeploying
the Hubble Space Telescope,

366
00:24:33,467 --> 00:24:35,234
but I was wondering
if you'll have any time

367
00:24:35,234 --> 00:24:37,434
at all to teleconference
with your families.

368
00:24:37,434 --> 00:24:38,934
Do you have any decorations
on board?

369
00:24:38,934 --> 00:24:40,634
Is there a tree, perhaps?

370
00:24:43,367 --> 00:24:46,667
-Well, Bill, we can't tell you
all our secrets,

371
00:24:46,667 --> 00:24:48,767
but we're looking forward
to the deploy of Hubble,

372
00:24:48,767 --> 00:24:51,467
and if we have a chance
on Christmas Day

373
00:24:51,467 --> 00:24:53,367
to say hello to our families,

374
00:24:53,367 --> 00:24:55,434
we'll definitely
take advantage of that.

375
00:24:55,434 --> 00:24:57,100
-Did you guys get to finish
your Christmas shopping,

376
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:58,834
or is there a way you're doing
any Christmas

377
00:24:58,834 --> 00:25:00,934
shopping online up there,
I'm wondering?

378
00:25:08,667 --> 00:25:12,501
-Well, we can't do any Christmas
shopping online from here,

379
00:25:12,501 --> 00:25:14,200
but we were able to take care
of that, I think,

380
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,100
online during our 2 weeks
being quarantined.

381
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:22,634
At least, I was able to do that.
-Thanks a lot,

382
00:25:22,634 --> 00:25:24,167
and the last question
from my wife,

383
00:25:24,167 --> 00:25:25,868
was wondering if you guys
planned to leave any milk

384
00:25:25,868 --> 00:25:28,000
and cookies out
for Santa Claus this year?

385
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,334
-You know, before we flew
this mission,

386
00:25:33,334 --> 00:25:35,601
and there was a possibility
of flying over Christmas,

387
00:25:35,601 --> 00:25:38,734
I talked to my 5-year-old
daughter about that

388
00:25:38,734 --> 00:25:42,767
and explained to her
how that could be a possibility,

389
00:25:42,767 --> 00:25:45,968
and once I told her that we were
going to point the telescope

390
00:25:45,968 --> 00:25:49,601
at the North Pole
and get a picture of Santa,

391
00:25:49,601 --> 00:25:51,634
she was all excited
and really didn't mind

392
00:25:51,634 --> 00:25:54,133
too much her dad
being away for Christmas.

393
00:25:54,133 --> 00:25:57,634
-Okay, now, let me finish with
one last one here real quick.

394
00:25:57,634 --> 00:25:59,868
I know you guys always try
to get done things

395
00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:02,567
when you might not always have
the time, like that fourth EVA.

396
00:26:02,567 --> 00:26:05,133
I mean, for Mike Foale, I guess,
any chance you can squeeze

397
00:26:05,133 --> 00:26:06,467
in some of the tasks
on that fourth

398
00:26:06,467 --> 00:26:08,067
EVA on the three you've got?

399
00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:09,667
I'm assuming there's no chance
this mission

400
00:26:09,667 --> 00:26:11,334
will get extended a day, Curt.

401
00:26:17,701 --> 00:26:19,868
-Bill, as far as the question
goes about

402
00:26:19,868 --> 00:26:22,400
squeezing in the fourth EVA
into the third,

403
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,734
no, I don't think
there's any chance of that,

404
00:26:24,734 --> 00:26:29,133
except maybe one small task
involving latch doors

405
00:26:29,133 --> 00:26:32,300
to be properly latched

406
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:37,734
that were not properly posed
that need repair right now,

407
00:26:37,734 --> 00:26:39,367
and we had planned that
for the fourth day,

408
00:26:39,367 --> 00:26:42,067
and we may be able to do that on
the third day or the second day.

409
00:26:42,067 --> 00:26:44,801
I'm going to let you have
the answer from Curt

410
00:26:44,801 --> 00:26:46,567
on the second part
of your question.

411
00:26:50,334 --> 00:26:52,133
-Well, Bill, as you know,
we haven't been to Hubble

412
00:26:52,133 --> 00:26:53,701
in a few years,

413
00:26:53,701 --> 00:26:55,767
and we never know
what we may find.

414
00:26:55,767 --> 00:27:00,400
I'm sure if we found some need
to do a fourth EVA

415
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,133
or make changes to our current

416
00:27:02,133 --> 00:27:04,601
EVAs,
the program would look at that,

417
00:27:04,601 --> 00:27:06,767
and we'd come up
with the right decision.

418
00:27:06,767 --> 00:27:09,267
So our plan right now is to do
the three EVAs,

419
00:27:09,267 --> 00:27:12,801
and like I said, there's no
better place to be than space,

420
00:27:12,801 --> 00:27:15,267
so we're very happy up there.

421
00:27:15,267 --> 00:27:17,400
-Commander Brown,
what's your vision

422
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,734
of how space exploration
will unfold in the future?

423
00:27:20,734 --> 00:27:22,133
Will we colonize Mars?

424
00:27:22,133 --> 00:27:24,067
Will space travel become common?

425
00:27:24,067 --> 00:27:25,934
Are we alone in the universe?

426
00:27:29,767 --> 00:27:32,968
-Well, I hate to quote a movie
that came out not too long ago.

427
00:27:32,968 --> 00:27:36,467
If we're the only ones in space,
it's a terrible waste of space,

428
00:27:36,467 --> 00:27:39,501
but I think there's going
to be things out there

429
00:27:39,501 --> 00:27:40,901
that we can hardly imagine,

430
00:27:40,901 --> 00:27:44,267
and hopefully in the next years
to come,

431
00:27:44,267 --> 00:27:46,634
we will have a chance
to go out and explore that.

432
00:27:46,634 --> 00:27:48,334
We're taking very
small steps now.

433
00:27:48,334 --> 00:27:51,767
There's things we have to learn:
how to do space exploration,

434
00:27:51,767 --> 00:27:54,868
how to enable humans
to go to other places.

435
00:27:54,868 --> 00:27:56,701
The distances are long.

436
00:27:56,701 --> 00:28:01,000
It's a long way to the nearest
planet or star,

437
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,667
so we got to figure
out ways to do that.

438
00:28:02,667 --> 00:28:06,701
So we're taking small steps now,
and just like a few years ago,

439
00:28:06,701 --> 00:28:09,167
flying in an aircraft
was kind of unheard of.

440
00:28:09,167 --> 00:28:11,701
Pretty soon, flying in space
will be common nature,

441
00:28:11,701 --> 00:28:14,667
and I think that's where
we're going to go.

442
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:16,801
-Jean-François Clervoy,
as a member

443
00:28:16,801 --> 00:28:19,234
of the European Space Agency,
please tell us

444
00:28:19,234 --> 00:28:21,434
about international cooperation
in space.

445
00:28:21,434 --> 00:28:23,701
Why are you flying
on a NASA shuttle?

446
00:28:26,601 --> 00:28:30,000
-NASA has opened its space
program to cooperation

447
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,367
with many countries,

448
00:28:31,367 --> 00:28:34,868
including the 14 countries
of Europe,

449
00:28:34,868 --> 00:28:37,901
starting with, in the early days
on the space shuttle

450
00:28:37,901 --> 00:28:39,367
with a space lab,

451
00:28:39,367 --> 00:28:41,734
and Europe being one
of the partners

452
00:28:41,734 --> 00:28:46,567
for the completion of
the International Space Station,

453
00:28:46,567 --> 00:28:50,400
we are being part of the special
programs since the beginning,

454
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,000
and I hope that Europe

455
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,667
will be also part
of the international program

456
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:57,868
that NASA will probably push

457
00:28:57,868 --> 00:29:01,834
in the next 20 years to go
and explore Mars,

458
00:29:01,834 --> 00:29:07,734
like we are starting now on the
automatic probes to visit Mars.

459
00:29:07,734 --> 00:29:10,534
-Michael Foale,
you are a father.

460
00:29:10,534 --> 00:29:13,334
As you look at Earth from space,
what do you think about

461
00:29:13,334 --> 00:29:16,601
the future for your children
on this fragile planet?

462
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:24,000
-Well, I think the future
for our children is boundless.

463
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,834
I think we can
do terrible things.

464
00:29:25,834 --> 00:29:28,267
I think we can do wonderful
things as a race,

465
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:30,834
and I want my children
and the children they come

466
00:29:30,834 --> 00:29:35,033
in contact with to feel
that they have great potential,

467
00:29:35,033 --> 00:29:37,601
that they can make
more of the future

468
00:29:37,601 --> 00:29:40,767
than their parents have
and their grandparents have.

469
00:29:40,767 --> 00:29:43,133
I think part of that
will be working in space.

470
00:29:43,133 --> 00:29:46,100
I think exploring space
and working with other countries

471
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:50,701
going to Earth orbit to build
the International Space Station,

472
00:29:50,701 --> 00:29:53,701
and then Moon and Mars
and colonize the solar system

473
00:29:53,701 --> 00:29:54,934
will be a huge endeavor

474
00:29:54,934 --> 00:29:57,234
for many,
many nations on the Earth,

475
00:29:57,234 --> 00:30:01,367
and I think in the process
of doing that,

476
00:30:01,367 --> 00:30:05,000
our children will actually be
far more tolerant

477
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,534
and able to work
with each other,

478
00:30:06,534 --> 00:30:07,734
even though
they have differences,

479
00:30:07,734 --> 00:30:09,667
between their different
countries

480
00:30:09,667 --> 00:30:13,567
than so far generations
have shown up to this point.

481
00:30:15,634 --> 00:30:17,367
-Mr. Kelly, Scott,

482
00:30:17,367 --> 00:30:19,067
please describe
your first feelings

483
00:30:19,067 --> 00:30:20,734
of seeing Earth from space.

484
00:30:20,734 --> 00:30:22,033
This is your first time
up there.

485
00:30:22,033 --> 00:30:24,200
Is the sunrise beautiful?

486
00:30:28,534 --> 00:30:30,901
-Yeah, my first --

487
00:30:30,901 --> 00:30:36,300
My feelings when I first
saw the Earth from space

488
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:37,434
are really hard to describe

489
00:30:37,434 --> 00:30:40,834
because the Earth really
is so beautiful.

490
00:30:40,834 --> 00:30:45,667
It is a crystal-clear
brilliant blue

491
00:30:45,667 --> 00:30:49,234
when you first see
the Atlantic Ocean,

492
00:30:49,234 --> 00:30:53,234
in our case and the sunrise
following a night launch,

493
00:30:53,234 --> 00:30:57,901
and it really is one of the most
beautiful sights I've ever seen.

494
00:30:57,901 --> 00:31:00,400
It's something that I will never
forget,

495
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,767
and it's something that I wish

496
00:31:01,767 --> 00:31:03,667
everyone on Earth
could experience,

497
00:31:03,667 --> 00:31:09,000
and hopefully, one day,
they will have that opportunity.

498
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,734
-Commander Brown, from your very
special vantage point in space,

499
00:31:12,734 --> 00:31:15,033
can you give us a message
of hope and peace

500
00:31:15,033 --> 00:31:16,634
for the new millennium?

501
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,334
-Well, as we've touched on
in the last few questions,

502
00:31:24,334 --> 00:31:28,067
the Earth is very beautiful.

503
00:31:28,067 --> 00:31:34,400
The space program is going more
towards an international style,

504
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,133
and we have many countries
working together

505
00:31:36,133 --> 00:31:38,200
for the international
space station,

506
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,901
and as you look down
on the planet,

507
00:31:39,901 --> 00:31:41,734
and you realize all the people
that are there

508
00:31:41,734 --> 00:31:44,267
and all the countries
that are around the planet,

509
00:31:44,267 --> 00:31:47,000
and we do have conflicts
these days,

510
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,100
and we do have countries that
do not get along with each other

511
00:31:49,100 --> 00:31:52,300
and people that do not
get along with each other,

512
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:55,167
and my dream would be that
that would all go away.

513
00:31:55,167 --> 00:31:58,067
As you orbit the Earth,
there's really no boundaries.

514
00:31:58,067 --> 00:31:59,734
You see the landmass
and the continents,

515
00:31:59,734 --> 00:32:01,601
but you really
don't see the people.

516
00:32:01,601 --> 00:32:04,167
I imagine the people down below,

517
00:32:04,167 --> 00:32:06,501
and you imagine them
all getting along,

518
00:32:06,501 --> 00:32:08,467
and it's so easy
to see that from space,

519
00:32:08,467 --> 00:32:11,767
how easy it would be
and how fragile the Earth is

520
00:32:11,767 --> 00:32:15,968
and because it's so fragile --
And actually, it's so small.

521
00:32:15,968 --> 00:32:17,601
As we orbit it,
it only takes 90 minutes

522
00:32:17,601 --> 00:32:19,267
to go all the way around,

523
00:32:19,267 --> 00:32:22,968
and as you see the delicate
balance of what we have here

524
00:32:22,968 --> 00:32:25,834
on planet Earth,

525
00:32:25,834 --> 00:32:29,701
my wishes and my blessings are
for the world to come together

526
00:32:29,701 --> 00:32:32,067
and be a place where everyone
would get along together,

527
00:32:32,067 --> 00:32:34,501
and we'll all take care
of our planet,

528
00:32:34,501 --> 00:32:37,801
and we can all view
and admire our planet.

-Good morning, Discovery.

551
00:35:34,434 --> 00:35:37,100
Hubble is about 278 miles
ahead of you

552
00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:38,968
and 13 miles above you.

553
00:35:42,767 --> 00:35:44,267
-Houston, Discovery.
Good morning.

554
00:35:44,267 --> 00:35:45,701
You have seven people
very anxious

555
00:35:45,701 --> 00:35:47,400
to rendezvous with Hubble.

556
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,000
Tell them we're on our way.

557
00:35:53,634 --> 00:35:57,834
-Discovery, we see a good config
for the burn.

558
00:35:57,834 --> 00:36:00,234
-Discovery copies. Thanks.

559
00:36:02,434 --> 00:36:04,634
-This burn-up coming in
10 seconds

560
00:36:04,634 --> 00:36:06,100
will use the left Orbital

561
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:08,100
Maneuvering System engine
on the tail of the orbiter.

562
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:10,334
So hopefully with this view,
we'll be able to see

563
00:36:10,334 --> 00:36:13,200
that engine fire up here
momentarily.

564
00:36:20,367 --> 00:36:21,601
And the burn is in progress.

565
00:36:21,601 --> 00:36:24,267
Again, it's a very short
17-second burn.

566
00:36:24,267 --> 00:36:26,501
We saw the initial start-up
of the engine,

567
00:36:26,501 --> 00:36:29,167
and that engine now has cut off.

568
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,601
And this is
Mission Control Houston,

569
00:36:43,601 --> 00:36:46,767
this view from one
of the forward bulkhead cameras

570
00:36:46,767 --> 00:36:48,667
in the payload bay of Discovery,

571
00:36:48,667 --> 00:36:51,000
looking at
the Hubble Space Telescope,

572
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,467
52 miles out in front
of the Discovery,

573
00:36:54,467 --> 00:36:58,167
45 nautical miles,
or about 277,000 feet.

574
00:37:03,300 --> 00:37:04,434
-Houston, Discovery.

575
00:37:04,434 --> 00:37:05,901
We have the Hubble Space
Telescope

576
00:37:05,901 --> 00:37:07,667
in sight through the glass.

577
00:37:10,834 --> 00:37:13,100
-That's fantastic news.

578
00:37:37,067 --> 00:37:40,667
-This is Mission Control Houston
as the Hubble Space Telescope

579
00:37:40,667 --> 00:37:42,501
flies high above
the Earth's surface

580
00:37:42,501 --> 00:37:44,968
out over the Atlantic Ocean,

581
00:37:44,968 --> 00:37:48,200
again, just as it did
about an hour and a half ago,

582
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:54,868
its orbital track taking it
across the surface of the Moon.

583
00:37:54,868 --> 00:37:58,434
The Moon will be full
tomorrow night,

584
00:37:58,434 --> 00:38:01,767
which also happens to be
the winter solstice,

585
00:38:01,767 --> 00:38:04,767
the point at which
the Moon and the Sun

586
00:38:04,767 --> 00:38:09,934
are at their closest points
to the Earth's surface,

587
00:38:09,934 --> 00:38:13,367
and due to that phenomenon,
the Moon will actually appear

588
00:38:13,367 --> 00:38:18,501
about 14 or so percent bigger
than it does routinely,

589
00:38:18,501 --> 00:38:21,133
and it will also appear
much brighter

590
00:38:21,133 --> 00:38:23,801
because of the Sun's proximity
to the Earth

591
00:38:23,801 --> 00:38:28,100
in relation to the Moon's
proximity to the Earth as well.

592
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,567
And all is continuing
to go very smoothly

593
00:38:36,567 --> 00:38:40,267
and quietly here
in mission control.

594
00:38:40,267 --> 00:38:43,701
We are getting confirmation
now that the robotic arm

595
00:38:43,701 --> 00:38:47,100
is over the grapple fixture
on the telescope,

596
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,133
and we do now have confirmation
that the grapple is complete

597
00:38:53,133 --> 00:38:55,000
with the rigidization

598
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,300
of the telescope's
grapple fixture in work,

599
00:38:57,300 --> 00:39:00,100
and capture now
has been confirmed.

600
00:39:02,334 --> 00:39:04,234
-Houston, Discovery.
We have a good capture.

601
00:39:04,234 --> 00:39:06,234
We have Hubble grappled.

602
00:39:09,701 --> 00:39:11,501
-Discovery, congratulations.

603
00:39:11,501 --> 00:39:13,501
Everyone here congratulates you

604
00:39:13,501 --> 00:39:15,701
on your first-class job
with a good grapple.

605
00:39:20,901 --> 00:39:23,901
-And for the first time
since February 1997,

606
00:39:23,901 --> 00:39:25,334
the Hubble Space Telescope,

607
00:39:25,334 --> 00:39:30,801
just as it was viewed when
the shuttle left it 3 years ago.

608
00:39:34,167 --> 00:39:35,634
-Discovery, Houston.
For your information,

609
00:39:35,634 --> 00:39:38,267
we just got KU coverage,
and we have a good picture

610
00:39:38,267 --> 00:39:39,601
of the Hubble
on the end of the arm.

611
00:39:39,601 --> 00:39:41,200
Beautiful sight.

612
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:44,901
-Thanks, Steve.
Good news.

613
00:39:51,434 --> 00:39:53,834
-And Discovery now moving
into daylight,

614
00:39:53,834 --> 00:39:56,968
giving a much better view
of the telescope, again,

615
00:39:56,968 --> 00:40:02,400
for the first time
since February of 1997,

616
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,334
apparently no worse
for the wear,

617
00:40:04,334 --> 00:40:07,767
the telescope view
coming from one of the cameras

618
00:40:07,767 --> 00:40:10,667
at the back end
of Discovery's payload bay.

619
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,968
-Houston, Discovery for HST.

620
00:40:31,968 --> 00:40:34,400
Latch and made HST complete.

621
00:40:36,767 --> 00:40:38,234
-We copy.

622
00:40:38,234 --> 00:40:41,834
You're one big vehicle now, and
I have a delta for the timeline.

623
00:40:46,868 --> 00:40:49,501
-Again, recapping
almost an hour,

624
00:40:49,501 --> 00:40:51,667
exactly an hour
after the telescope

625
00:40:51,667 --> 00:40:54,067
was captured
by the shuttle's robot arm,

626
00:40:54,067 --> 00:40:57,100
the telescope was firmly berthed

627
00:40:57,100 --> 00:41:00,067
and latched atop
the flight-support system,

628
00:41:00,067 --> 00:41:02,801
and then just moments ago,
about 10 minutes ago,

629
00:41:02,801 --> 00:41:06,868
the Hubble Space Telescope
was verified on external power,

630
00:41:06,868 --> 00:41:09,434
orbiter power,
where it will remain

631
00:41:09,434 --> 00:41:14,868
for the remainder of the stay
in Discovery's payload bay.

632
00:41:17,601 --> 00:41:19,367
In addition to payload
bay cameras

633
00:41:19,367 --> 00:41:21,300
on each corner
of Discovery's payload bay,

634
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:23,767
there are also two cameras
on the shuttle's robot arm,

635
00:41:23,767 --> 00:41:26,501
one on the elbow joint,

636
00:41:26,501 --> 00:41:29,367
and one out
on the very tip of the arm,

637
00:41:29,367 --> 00:41:31,801
the business end of the arm,
the end effector,

638
00:41:31,801 --> 00:41:35,968
which provides a very
close-up view of the telescope

639
00:41:35,968 --> 00:41:39,300
and its systems,

640
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:42,767
and as part of the
post-berthing activities,

641
00:41:42,767 --> 00:41:48,000
the robot arm will be used
to provide the Hubble project

642
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
with some very detailed views
of the telescope

643
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,067
up close and personal

644
00:41:54,067 --> 00:41:58,467
since it has not been seen now
for almost 3 years.

645
00:41:58,467 --> 00:42:02,467
It allows the project to assess
the health

646
00:42:02,467 --> 00:42:05,467
of all of the external surfaces
of the telescope.

647
00:42:05,467 --> 00:42:10,901
That survey will be conducted

648
00:42:10,901 --> 00:42:14,534
primarily by robotic-arm
operator onboard,

649
00:42:14,534 --> 00:42:17,467
Mission Specialist
Jean-François Clervoy.

650
00:42:31,033 --> 00:42:32,167
-Discovery, Houston.

651
00:42:32,167 --> 00:42:34,300
From the Orbit One team,
Linda and I

652
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:36,200
and the rest of the room
would like to congratulate you

653
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,267
for a spectacular day making
the hardest things look easy.

654
00:42:40,267 --> 00:42:41,868
We were excited to be here
the whole day,

655
00:42:41,868 --> 00:42:45,567
and it's time to turn over
to Ryan and Ellen,

656
00:42:45,567 --> 00:42:47,400
the Orbit Two team.

657
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,501
As we looked at your video
photos of the Moon,

658
00:42:49,501 --> 00:42:54,133
we were reminded of 31 years ago
today, Apollo 8 launched,

659
00:42:54,133 --> 00:42:55,567
taking Frank Borman
and Jim Lovell

660
00:42:55,567 --> 00:42:57,167
and Bill Anders to the Moon.

661
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:02,467
-Houston, we copy that, and it
was a beautiful sight today

662
00:43:02,467 --> 00:43:04,400
as we got closer
and closer to Hubble

663
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,634
and was able to accomplish
the rendezvous

664
00:43:08,634 --> 00:43:10,901
with the grapple
and the berthing,

665
00:43:10,901 --> 00:43:13,200
and we want to say special
thanks to our training team

666
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,300
for making sure that we were
able to do all that hard work

667
00:43:15,300 --> 00:43:16,667
and to Steve Walker
and the rendezvous team

668
00:43:16,667 --> 00:43:18,501
for making sure we knew

669
00:43:18,501 --> 00:43:20,601
exactly how we were going
to find Hubble,

670
00:43:20,601 --> 00:43:22,501
and as you know,
it takes a team to make it work,

671
00:43:22,501 --> 00:43:23,968
and without y'all today,
we couldn't have made

672
00:43:23,968 --> 00:43:26,067
all this work,
and we appreciate that,

673
00:43:26,067 --> 00:43:28,968
and I sure wish
we were going to the Moon today.

674
00:43:31,934 --> 00:43:33,467
-Good.
Thanks for your words.

675
00:43:33,467 --> 00:43:34,868
I know your training teams
and all of us

676
00:43:34,868 --> 00:43:36,567
are pretty proud
to be all involved,

677
00:43:36,567 --> 00:43:40,267
and we're pretty in awe of what
you accomplished up there,

678
00:43:40,267 --> 00:43:41,801
so we'll see you tomorrow.

679

00:45:38,868 --> 00:45:40,300
on the arm up on the elbow,

687
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:44,367
looking at this unique vantage
point down into the payload bay.

688
00:46:03,267 --> 00:46:06,100
-Okay, that's complete too.

689
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:08,434
EV cameras hooked up.

690
00:46:08,434 --> 00:46:11,934
Billy Bob, you can take the arm
to the airlock.

691
00:46:11,934 --> 00:46:13,367
-Copy.

692
00:46:13,367 --> 00:46:14,667
I'm moving the arm to the
airlock in resting position.

693
00:46:14,667 --> 00:46:15,934
-And, Steve, can you verify --

694
00:46:15,934 --> 00:46:18,834
Can you take the sensor
and do the 180?

695
00:46:18,834 --> 00:46:20,934
-Yeah.
Let me get the extension.

696
00:46:20,934 --> 00:46:25,701
-And, Mike, I've got
the thermal cover open.

697
00:46:25,701 --> 00:46:28,000
-Okay.
I am not pulling the arm yet.

698
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,467
-Thank you, Billy Bob.

699
00:46:30,467 --> 00:46:35,767
-Okay, Mike,
the gear is deployed.

700
00:46:35,767 --> 00:46:37,667
I'm going to extend now.

701
00:46:37,667 --> 00:46:39,100
-All right.
I see that.

702
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:42,367
-All three knobs have been
placed in the locked position.

703
00:46:45,067 --> 00:46:47,734
-And the first full views
now of John Grunsfeld

704
00:46:47,734 --> 00:46:49,667
down near
the external air lock...

705
00:46:49,667 --> 00:46:51,200
-You can continue forward.

706
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,200
-...this looking straight down
from the elbow camera up

707
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,067
on the shuttle's
Remote Manipulator System,

708
00:46:57,067 --> 00:46:58,567
or robotic arm.

709
00:46:58,567 --> 00:47:02,100
-I see no peeling or flaking

710
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:06,734
or anything
all the way up to the truncheon.

711
00:47:06,734 --> 00:47:09,000
John, I think you're going to be
okay to transition there.

712
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,033
Wait.

713
00:47:10,033 --> 00:47:13,033
I'll check the other side,
though.

714
00:47:13,033 --> 00:47:19,834
-I am picking up a little bit
of yellow pigment, again,

715
00:47:19,834 --> 00:47:22,934
no flaking or anything.

716
00:47:24,634 --> 00:47:26,000
-I copy.

717
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,067
-How's the [Indistinct] okay?

718
00:47:29,067 --> 00:47:33,067
-Very minor ripples
in the fabric and in the foil.

719
00:47:33,067 --> 00:47:35,667
-Okay. Because I know the
[Indistinct] is not in yet.

720
00:47:49,300 --> 00:47:53,267
I'm seeing three handrails,

721
00:47:53,267 --> 00:47:57,267
a little bit more like
their original color.

722
00:47:57,267 --> 00:48:01,234
I see no flaking or pitting
or anything.

723
00:48:01,234 --> 00:48:03,667
They look good.

724
00:48:03,667 --> 00:48:05,434
That's a big telescope, boy.

725
00:48:08,734 --> 00:48:10,334
-We copy you.

726
00:48:12,501 --> 00:48:17,067
-Bays six through 10 look
just like they did on 82.

727
00:48:17,067 --> 00:48:19,834
You know, there's some blankets
that we fixed

728
00:48:19,834 --> 00:48:23,367
are still there,
it looks like.

729
00:48:23,367 --> 00:48:27,467
Mike, anything else up here
for the back posts now?

730
00:48:27,467 --> 00:48:29,434
-I copy, Steven.

731
00:48:29,434 --> 00:48:32,167
We're waiting on
the bag to inflate.

732
00:48:36,267 --> 00:48:37,868
-Okay.

733
00:48:40,534 --> 00:48:43,133
-Okay, we're now
clear of Hubble.

734
00:48:43,133 --> 00:48:44,667
-Yeah, I think you're clear
to go up

735
00:48:44,667 --> 00:48:46,000
and forward at the same time.

736
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,400
-Yep.
-I concur.

737
00:49:25,767 --> 00:49:27,534
-Okay, John, are you ready
for the scope?

738
00:49:27,534 --> 00:49:28,901
-Go ahead.
-Okay.

739
00:49:28,901 --> 00:49:30,501
Moving to the scope.

740
00:49:58,300 --> 00:49:59,868
-Oh.

741
00:50:07,667 --> 00:50:09,167
-I'm ready.

742
00:50:12,801 --> 00:50:15,434
-Open it slowly.
Make sure nothing flies out.

743
00:50:15,434 --> 00:50:18,033
-Houston, Discovery.
-Hey, guys.

744
00:50:18,033 --> 00:50:22,901
-We have completed
the pivot HST, to 90 degrees.

745
00:50:22,901 --> 00:50:24,734
-The time is [Indistinct].

746
00:50:28,801 --> 00:50:33,000
-Well, I think everything looks
good inside the scope, Mike.

747
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,267
-Good to hear that, Steve.

748
00:50:36,267 --> 00:50:38,200
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]

749
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,901
-This is Mission Control
Houston, back aboard discovery

750
00:50:40,901 --> 00:50:45,934
now with two astronauts
well into the task

751
00:50:45,934 --> 00:50:49,367
of replacing and changing out
the Rate Sensor Units,

752
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,734
and this is
an up-close-and-personal view,

753
00:50:54,734 --> 00:50:56,968
looking over the shoulder
of John Grunsfeld

754
00:50:56,968 --> 00:50:59,868
into the aft shroud section
of the telescope.

755
00:50:59,868 --> 00:51:03,234
Steve Smith already
tucked up inside,

756
00:51:03,234 --> 00:51:04,801
turned around on his back.

757
00:51:04,801 --> 00:51:08,801
That's the best position
to remove

758
00:51:08,801 --> 00:51:12,734
and replace
the Rate Sensor Units.

759
00:51:33,501 --> 00:51:35,300
-Don't go much farther, though.
-Okay.

760
00:51:35,300 --> 00:51:36,501
I won't.
-Okay.

761
00:51:36,501 --> 00:51:41,067
I can verify the back tether
is on it.

762
00:51:41,067 --> 00:51:42,934
I'm releasing my tether.

763
00:52:08,968 --> 00:52:12,067
It's in the bag.

764
00:52:12,067 --> 00:52:13,501
-Roger.

765
00:52:18,133 --> 00:52:21,434
-Got some curveballs,
some knuckleballs today.

766
00:52:21,434 --> 00:52:24,567
-And, Houston,
just to summarize,

767
00:52:24,567 --> 00:52:27,501
we have the COPE
pit closed with two latches

768
00:52:27,501 --> 00:52:32,234
and RSU2 is stowed with a 1/4
inch to go in the front

769
00:52:32,234 --> 00:52:34,567
and the ATM transport door
not closed.

770
00:52:37,701 --> 00:52:40,067
-It's incredibly tight.

771
00:52:43,033 --> 00:52:44,467
-Can I tell my crew to come up?

772
00:52:44,467 --> 00:52:47,501
-Tell your crew to come up.
-Okay.

773
00:52:51,601 --> 00:52:54,334
Am I good to go on the left?

774
00:52:54,334 --> 00:52:57,734
-Yup.

775
00:52:57,734 --> 00:52:59,601
-We could try it in the
transform module next to it.

776
00:52:59,601 --> 00:53:00,868
I guess that's an idea.

777
00:53:00,868 --> 00:53:03,200
-That's what I think
we might want to do.

778
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,701
-Engine can't stop [Indistinct].

779
00:53:04,701 --> 00:53:08,133
-Let's do that.
-Okay.

780
00:53:08,133 --> 00:53:10,567
I will.
-Okay.

781
00:53:10,567 --> 00:53:12,667
Steve Smith confirming
or commenting

782
00:53:12,667 --> 00:53:16,400
that the old
Rate Sensor Unit

783
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:20,701
has quite a tight fit putting it
back into the cannister

784
00:53:20,701 --> 00:53:21,968
for the return trip home,

785
00:53:21,968 --> 00:53:26,434
but the outer lid
to that cannister closes fine,

786
00:53:26,434 --> 00:53:28,968
so for the time being,

787
00:53:28,968 --> 00:53:30,834
the crew members
have been given a go to press on

788
00:53:30,834 --> 00:53:35,734
and change out the second
of the three Rate Sensor Units.

789
00:53:35,734 --> 00:53:38,133
In the meantime, the Hubble
Project has confirmed

790
00:53:38,133 --> 00:53:43,467
a good activation of the first
installed Rate Sensor Unit.

791
00:53:43,467 --> 00:53:44,634
-Sorry about the delay.

792
00:53:44,634 --> 00:53:47,234
We concur with your plan
to leave the COPE door

793
00:53:47,234 --> 00:53:50,634
lid closed on the RS2,
RSU2 as it is.

794
00:53:52,968 --> 00:53:55,033
-Thanks.

795
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,601
-Okay. No more, right?
Perfect.

796
00:54:07,601 --> 00:54:12,200
Jean-François, can you
take me to my right?

797
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,400
-Yeah, that's okay.
-Okay.

798
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,601
Good.
That's fine.

799
00:54:15,601 --> 00:54:17,033
-Sure?
-Yeah. Absolutely.

800
00:54:17,033 --> 00:54:18,234
-Okay.

801
00:54:18,234 --> 00:54:20,033
-What other connector
do you need, Michael?

802
00:54:20,033 --> 00:54:21,634
-MI Houston, Discovery.

803
00:54:21,634 --> 00:54:25,267
Do we have a go
for RSU3 connector D-mate?

804
00:54:25,267 --> 00:54:29,400
-Discovery, you have a go
for RSU3 connector D-mate.

805
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:30,767
-Copy.
Steve, go ahead.

806
00:54:30,767 --> 00:54:34,834
-Okay.
-Jean-François, take me in.

807
00:54:37,634 --> 00:54:41,133
-Moving in.
-It'll be about 3 feet.

808
00:54:41,133 --> 00:54:45,334
-About 3 feet in.
-About 2 feet from your helmet.

809
00:54:47,968 --> 00:54:49,801
-One foot.
Looks like it's clear.

810
00:54:49,801 --> 00:54:51,901
One foot.
-Full stop.

811
00:54:56,834 --> 00:54:59,267
-You're on, right?

812
00:54:59,267 --> 00:55:01,734
Do an 11 count.
-Correct.

813
00:55:03,434 --> 00:55:07,234
-One, two,

814
00:55:07,234 --> 00:55:11,167
three, four,

815
00:55:11,167 --> 00:55:15,100
five, six,

816
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:20,868
seven, eight, nine,

817
00:55:20,868 --> 00:55:25,100
10, 11.

818
00:55:25,100 --> 00:55:27,567
-Full stop. Full stop.

819
00:55:29,868 --> 00:55:34,434
We're done on the RS, RSU2.

820
00:55:34,434 --> 00:55:39,501
-Did you say you're good on two?
-Good on two.

821
00:55:39,501 --> 00:55:42,234
Please transition
to number three.

822
00:55:42,234 --> 00:55:45,234
-Okay.

823
00:55:45,234 --> 00:55:49,400
-Onboard, the crew members are
taking closeout photos and video

824
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,234
of the work site before closing
the aft shroud doors

825
00:55:52,234 --> 00:55:57,100
that do provide back
to the Hubble project

826
00:55:57,100 --> 00:56:00,467
as a reference tool on the work
that was accomplished inside.

827
00:56:00,467 --> 00:56:04,534
Again, all three Rate Sensor
Units have been removed

828
00:56:04,534 --> 00:56:07,100
and replaced
and checked out and activated,

829
00:56:07,100 --> 00:56:10,300
and all appears at this point
to be in good shape with Hubble

830
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:15,367
now essentially back in business
with six new gyroscopes.

831
00:56:19,501 --> 00:56:21,100
-Okay.

832
00:56:25,067 --> 00:56:28,667
You are clear to turn around.
-Okay.

833
00:56:28,667 --> 00:56:30,467
Coming around.

834
00:56:30,467 --> 00:56:33,334
Going to swing that right door
towards me.

835
00:56:33,334 --> 00:56:37,300
-I got the right door.
See?

836
00:56:37,300 --> 00:56:38,868
-All right.

837
00:56:41,067 --> 00:56:44,167
-Astronauts Steve Smith
and John Grunsfeld now,

838
00:56:44,167 --> 00:56:47,501
Steve Smith on the left
and John Grunsfeld on the right,

839
00:56:47,501 --> 00:56:49,567
have now been through 5 hours,

840
00:56:49,567 --> 00:56:52,400
17 1/2 minutes
into the space walk.

841
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:57,534
The crew members now have
completed the Nick Moss exercise

842
00:56:57,534 --> 00:57:01,968
that is removing bayonet caps
and opening valves

843
00:57:01,968 --> 00:57:05,367
on the coolant end
and the coolant outlines,

844
00:57:05,367 --> 00:57:08,667
that to allow
any residual coolant

845
00:57:08,667 --> 00:57:10,334
that may be frozen
in those lines

846
00:57:10,334 --> 00:57:13,734
to dissipate
in the vacuum of space,

847
00:57:13,734 --> 00:57:19,601
and that task designed
to prepare for the installation

848
00:57:19,601 --> 00:57:21,067
of a new coolant system

849
00:57:21,067 --> 00:57:27,200
for that Near Infrared Camera
and Multi-Object Spectrometer,

850
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,701
which was installed
on the last servicing mission

851
00:57:29,701 --> 00:57:31,801
in February of 1997.

852
00:57:31,801 --> 00:57:33,801
-...we just have to get
my feet and arms...

853
00:57:33,801 --> 00:57:35,667
-That task now complete,

854
00:57:35,667 --> 00:57:38,968
crew members are closing
the aft shroud doors,

855
00:57:38,968 --> 00:57:40,734
and once that's completed,

856
00:57:40,734 --> 00:57:42,467
they'll move on
to the next task, again,

857
00:57:42,467 --> 00:57:45,534
which is to install those six
Voltage/Temperature

858
00:57:45,534 --> 00:57:50,734
Improvement Kits,
basically voltage regulators,

859
00:57:50,734 --> 00:57:54,334
to ensure that the Hubble's
10-year-old

860
00:57:54,334 --> 00:57:55,801
batteries do not overheat.

861
00:57:55,801 --> 00:57:59,100
The batteries are actually
working fine, but as they age,

862
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:04,000
there is always a consideration
of those batteries

863
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,534
overheating during the charge
and discharge cycle,

864
00:58:07,534 --> 00:58:10,901
and so these VIKs, as they're
known by their acronym,

865
00:58:10,901 --> 00:58:12,968
Voltage/Temperature
Improvement Kits,

866
00:58:12,968 --> 00:58:17,067
will be installed to ensure that
the batteries do not overheat,

867
00:58:17,067 --> 00:58:18,667
and mainly a precaution,

868
00:58:18,667 --> 00:58:23,200
but one that the Hubble team
would like done today,

869
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:27,634
if possible, before the crew
members come back inside.

870
00:58:27,634 --> 00:58:28,834
-Okay.

871
00:58:28,834 --> 00:58:30,734
Moving up and over
on the body deck forward.

872
00:58:30,734 --> 00:58:31,901
It's better, Steve.

873
00:58:31,901 --> 00:58:35,300
-Okay.

874
00:58:35,300 --> 00:58:37,534
-Let me tell you what I've got:

875
00:58:37,534 --> 00:58:42,067
3 o'clock into the bridge rail,

876
00:58:42,067 --> 00:58:44,634
12 o'clock
on the articulating socket...

877
00:58:46,534 --> 00:58:49,200
...with a pitch,
but that pin is in.

878
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,868
The clock near the PFR at six.

879
00:58:51,868 --> 00:58:54,634
The roll is bravo point five,

880
00:58:54,634 --> 00:58:57,734
and the pitch
on the footplate is 10,

881
00:58:57,734 --> 00:59:01,634
and I've got two green stripes
on the bridge rail.

882
00:59:01,634 --> 00:59:03,868
-Steve, the pitch should be 11
on the footplate.

883
00:59:03,868 --> 00:59:09,868
-Okay.
-I think 10 is better

884
00:59:09,868 --> 00:59:11,734
for payload bay door clearance.

885
00:59:11,734 --> 00:59:14,400
-Okay.
We have a view of it now.

886
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,334
We'll record that and make sure
Houston sees it.

887
00:59:16,334 --> 00:59:17,767
-Okay.

888
00:59:17,767 --> 00:59:20,200
Jean-François, can you take me
6 feet to my right, please?

889
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,100
-That's well
within the, like...

890
00:59:24,901 --> 00:59:26,133
-Discovery, Houston.

891
00:59:26,133 --> 00:59:29,267
-Okay.
Now get the big caddy.

892
00:59:29,267 --> 00:59:30,567
-Discovery, Houston.

893
00:59:30,567 --> 00:59:36,200
PTC settings for EV2, alpha one,
counterclockwise two,

894
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,801
two decimal five.

895
00:59:42,133 --> 00:59:47,200
-One, two.

896
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,767
Beginning the lower left.

897
00:59:50,767 --> 00:59:52,067
-This is Mission
Control Houston.

898
00:59:52,067 --> 00:59:55,334
The crew members now have closed
the aft shroud doors,

899
00:59:55,334 --> 00:59:58,367
and the next step is to bolt

900
00:59:58,367 --> 01:00:01,167
the fixed-head star trackers
back into place.

901
01:00:01,167 --> 01:00:03,634
-...whether you recommend us
doing the MFR swap.

902
01:00:03,634 --> 01:00:05,467
-One, two...

903
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,467
-NIV, we're discussing
that right now.

904
01:00:09,467 --> 01:00:10,767
-We'll be right back to you.

905
01:00:17,868 --> 01:00:19,567
-Okay. Doors open.

906
01:00:19,567 --> 01:00:22,868
[ Speaks indistinctly ]

907
01:00:22,868 --> 01:00:24,934
-Out.

908
01:00:24,934 --> 01:00:27,100
-Then you'll stay at the door,
Sir John.

909
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,501
-Roger that.

910
01:00:30,501 --> 01:00:34,334
-Perhaps Steve could do that
for you, actually.

911
01:00:34,334 --> 01:00:36,667
-[Indistinct]
Actually, with this caddy on,

912
01:00:36,667 --> 01:00:40,167
I think it's the easiest
push the door that way.

913
01:00:45,067 --> 01:00:46,968
-Copy.
Charlie, to be clear.

914
01:00:46,968 --> 01:00:49,801
So John, bravo is already
connected?

915
01:00:49,801 --> 01:00:51,467
-Bravo is connected, yes.
-Oh, I missed that one.

916
01:00:51,467 --> 01:00:54,868
-Okay.
-All three are connected.

917
01:00:57,467 --> 01:00:59,801
-And can you give me
the serial number on Charlie?

918
01:00:59,801 --> 01:01:03,267
-Affirmative, 0, 1, 4, foxtrot.

919
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,167
Now I've got my Velcro
work to do.

920
01:01:09,167 --> 01:01:11,000
-Okay.
We copy 0,1, 4, foxtrot.

921
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,601
Well-done, John.

922
01:01:16,734 --> 01:01:19,934
-And, again, John, we'll
have to skip photo closeout

923
01:01:19,934 --> 01:01:21,167
because of the time.

924
01:01:21,167 --> 01:01:22,834
-Copy that.

925
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,300
-Push down on my back.
-Okay.

926
01:01:32,300 --> 01:01:34,167
-Okay, stop.
Stop.

927
01:01:36,167 --> 01:01:38,601
-Let me get in position here.
-Okay.

928
01:01:41,167 --> 01:01:43,734
-I'll count to three, okay?
-Okay.

929
01:01:43,734 --> 01:01:46,801
-We'll go to phase two.

930
01:01:46,801 --> 01:01:48,067
-Okay.

931
01:01:48,067 --> 01:01:49,467
-Okay. You ready?
-Yep.

932
01:01:49,467 --> 01:01:51,501
-One, two, three.

933
01:01:51,501 --> 01:01:53,000
-Do that again.
-Okay.

934
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,234
One, two, three.

935
01:01:59,634 --> 01:02:00,868
-Thought that would happen.

936
01:02:00,868 --> 01:02:02,234
Just the foam kind of terminated
after a while.

937
01:02:02,234 --> 01:02:03,300
-Wait.

938
01:02:03,300 --> 01:02:04,367
I think you need to be
on the right.

939
01:02:04,367 --> 01:02:05,467
-Yep.
Let's do it one more time.

940
01:02:05,467 --> 01:02:07,534
I think we almost got it.
-Okay.

941
01:02:07,534 --> 01:02:08,701
-Tell me when you're ready.
-I'm ready.

942
01:02:08,701 --> 01:02:09,934
-You're going to push
on me, right?

943
01:02:09,934 --> 01:02:12,567
-Yep.
-One, two, three.

944
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:19,634
-How far off is it?

945
01:02:19,634 --> 01:02:21,000
-I think we can get it.
Hold on.

946
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:22,300
-Okay.

947
01:02:26,734 --> 01:02:28,400
You guys got it?

948
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:29,501
You got it?
-Yep.

949
01:02:29,501 --> 01:02:30,934
-Okay.

950
01:02:37,968 --> 01:02:40,067
-And the tool caddy now
has been removed

951
01:02:40,067 --> 01:02:41,434
from
the Manipulator Foot Restraint

952
01:02:41,434 --> 01:02:43,534
on the end
of the shuttle's robot arm,

953
01:02:43,534 --> 01:02:48,267
that now being placed inside
the airlock by John Grunsfeld.

954
01:02:48,267 --> 01:02:53,534
-Let's see.
One-eighty, 180, okay.

955
01:02:53,534 --> 01:02:55,467
So I think you already did that,
huh, John?

956
01:02:55,467 --> 01:02:57,234
-That's basically
where I was, yeah.

957
01:02:57,234 --> 01:02:58,367
-Okay.

958
01:02:58,367 --> 01:02:59,734
-You're good to zero,
zero, zero.

959
01:03:04,033 --> 01:03:06,634
-Do you copy that, Steve?
-Yeah, zero, zero, zero.

960
01:03:06,634 --> 01:03:06,634
