-Good evening.
Tonight, NASA embarks on the second Space Shuttle flight
to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
This 10-day mission features at least four space walks
by four crew members to replace worn-out hardware
or to upgrade the capabilities of the telescope.
And so we begin our live coverage on NASA Television
of mission STS-82
here at the John F. Kennedy Space Center
in Florida.
All countdown events are on schedule,
and the launch team is on station here in Firing Room 3
in the Launch Control Center.
[ No audio ]
And we have the crew.
Seated from the left, we have Payload Commander Mark Lee.
He'll be performing two of the space walks on this mission.
And we have Mission Specialist Steven Hawley,
flight engineer for this flight,
pilot Scott Horowitz, flying for the second time,
and Commander Ken Bowersox.
Crew's ready to go this morning.
We have Mission Specialist Joe Tanner,
Steve Smith, and Greg Harbaugh.
Very experienced crew. Well-trained crew.
Been in training for two years now for this flight.
They're ready to go and repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
[ No audio ]
We have Commander Ken Bowersox.
This is his fourth flight.
He has been an astronaut for about 10 years.
And Bowersox will have overall responsibility
for commanding the flight.
He was the pilot for the first Hubble Servicing Mission
back in 1993.
[ No audio ]
And we have pilot Horowitz
as pilot who will assist Bowersox at the flight controls.
This is his second flight.
He will assist Bowersox during the rendezvous
and retrieval of the Hubble Space Telescope
on flight day three.
And we have Mission Specialist Mark Lee taking a brief rest.
Mission Specialist Joe Tanner.
Tanner's making his second flight.
This will be his first space walk.
He'll be teaming up with Greg Harbaugh
and replacing one of the three fine-guidance sensors on Hubble
during the second EVA.
And we've got Mission Specialist Steve Hawley.
Hawley's making his fourth flight today.
He's serving as the flight engineer
and will assist the commander and pilot
with ascent and reentry checklist.
And we have Mission Specialist Greg Harbaugh.
He's making his fourth flight.
He will be teamed up with Joe Tanner
to perform two of the space walks.
Harbaugh performed a space walk on STS-54.
And we have Mission Specialist five Steve Smith
making his second flight.
He'll be a first-time space walker on this flight.
He'll be teamed up with Mark Lee in replacing the two instruments
that have a combined weight of about 1,500 pounds.

This is Shuttle Launch Control
at T-minus 2 hours, 46 minutes and counting.
We've got some views now
of the flight crew now at the launch pad.
[ No audio ]
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Go ahead.
-Step 6-1, the LS initialization is complete.
-6-1?
-That's correct.
-Okay.
Conversation on OAS channel 212
during NASA comm checks will be heard by the crew.
Channel should remain silent except for emergency calls.
And for the flight crew during or after comm checks,
adjust your appropriate volumes for comfort,
and then don't change the audio panel switch configuration.
And Mission Management Team?
-Jim, MMT's looking to make sure you're clear to launch.
-Copy that.
-And Discovery,
Ken, you and the team have a great mission
and do some good Hubble upgrades.
We'll see you back here in 10 days.
-All right, Jim. Thanks for the good wishes.
We sure appreciate all the hard work they've put into
getting Discovery and her payload ready for launch.
Think with a little luck, in a couple of weeks,
the best telescope in the universe
will be even better than it is now.
-And, NTD, you're clear to launch.
-Copy. Thank you.
All personnel, launch countdown clock will begin in two minutes.
Mark.
[ No audio ]
-And a profile test
of the orbiter's aero surface has started.
These are being moved through a preprogrammed pattern
to verify that they are ready for launch.
[ Machinery whirring ]

The three main engines are being gimbaled
and positioned for launch.
[ Whirring continues ]
And the gaseous oxygen vent hood.
-[ Speaks indistinctly ]
-Copy that.
-The gaseous oxygen vent hood at the top of the tank
is being retracted away at this time.
-Every OTC, close and lock your visors.
[ Speaks indistinctly ]
And we wish you all a fantastic voyage.
Good luck, gentlemen.

Ignition and liftoff.
Discovery now on its way
to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
-Houston now controlling.
-Roll program, Houston.
-Roger roll, Discovery.
-Roll maneuver is complete aboard Discovery.
Vehicle is now in a heads-down position
on course for a 28 1/2-degree, 309 nautical mile orbit.
Discovery already 1 1/2 miles in altitude
and downrange from the launch site 1 1/2 miles as well.
[ No audio ]
-Three main engines beginning their throttle down now
as the orbiter prepares to pass through
the area of maximum dynamic pressure on the vehicle
in the lower atmosphere.
The three engines now at 67% of rated thrust.
[ No audio ]
The engines now beginning to throttle back up.
[ No audio ]
-Discovery, go with throttle up.
-Go with throttle up.
-The three liquid-filled engines are now back at full throttle.
Discovery's altitude is 13 miles,
downrange from the launch site 10 1/2 miles.
Now traveling 1,800 miles per hour.
The three good electrical systems
are fuel cells and hydraulic systems
providing the hydraulic power to the orbiter's engines.
[ No audio ]
The solid rocket boosters beginning to
tail off with their chamber pressure,
standing by for burnout and separation
of the twin solid-rocket boosters.
[ No audio ]
SRB separation is confirmed
2 minutes, 20 seconds into the flight.
Discovery is now downrange from the launch site 40 miles
at an altitude of 35 miles.
-Performance nominal.
-Performance thus far in the launch phase
has been as expected.
[ No audio ]
Three good hydraulic systems and fuel cells
in the main engines are still performing as expected
at 104% of rated thrust.

and Mission Specialist Joe Tanner,
while Greg Harbaugh, Mark Lee, and Steve Smith
ride down on the mid-deck of the orbiter.
[ No audio ]
-And, Houston, Discovery on the doors.
As you can see, the forward door's opening just fine.
On the first opening, we went straight from closed to blank.
We didn't get the ready on the closing,
and the subsequent opening, we got the ready.

-Okay.
I was trying to sing it, but I didn't know all the words.
[ No audio ]
-Discovery, Houston, we're with you on the mid-deck.
-Roger.
[ No audio ]
-And something else to let you know
that might help troubleshooting
is that machine is working fine with the world map running.
And it's receiving data.
I just don't remember --
the pack in the data for 10-2 is over the 232
or only the 422,
or if I have to shut World Map down to make it go.
-Okay, those are good points. We'll think about it.
[ No audio ]
-Houston, Discovery. If you have televisions,
you're welcome to watch over our shoulders
with the color end-effector camera.
-Yeah, we're enjoying the view. Thank you.
-Okay. And if you're not getting exactly what you want,
give me a holler and we'll try to put it on the TV for you.

-Hey, good morning, Chris.
I guess it is about that time.
Great wake-up music.
[ No audio ]
-Houston, Discovery.
We have a tally of Hubble.
-Copy, Doc. It must be a beautiful sight.
-Yep. It's big and bright.
-Copy.
[ No audio ]
-And, Houston, you got a picture?
-Yes, we do. It looks very good.
[ No audio ]
It reminds us of your patch.
-You are reading our minds.
[ No audio ]
Houston, Discovery.
We have the arrays in the end-effector camera now.
-Copy, Sox.
[ No audio ]
-Switching views now to the color end-effector camera.
This looking directly at the bottom of the telescope
as it comes into view.
[ No audio ]
-Houston, we're in free drift,
and Dr. Stevie's going to get the telescope.
-And we see that, Doc.
[ No audio ]
-Houston, Discovery.
-Go ahead, Discovery.
-I wish you could see the expression on Dr. Stevie's face.
Looks like he just shook hands with an old friend.
-And we watched it from down here, Sox.
It was certainly an absolute thrill
for us to see it on television,
and congratulations to all of you
for an outstanding rendezvous and a great capture.
We're looking forward to getting out there
and starting to work on that telescope.
-Yeah, us too, Mark.
We went a little slow there at the end.
We just wanted to make the rendezvous last longer.
It was so much fun.
[ No audio ]
-As Discovery and the Hubble Space Telescope
move off the east coast of Florida,
the spacecraft are now moving into an orbital sunrise.
[ No audio ]
And the Hubble Space Telescope
is now firmly in the berthing latches.
The sequence will be to close the latches one at a time.
[ No audio ]
-Hey, Houston. Discovery.
-Go ahead, Discovery.
-Okay, we've got the latch and mate ops complete.
We're gonna un-grapple,
and as soon as we do that, we're gonna go to attitude.
-Okay, copy, Mark. We're watching.
[ No audio ]
-Houston, Discovery.
We've un-grappled,
and we think we're ready to go to battery-charge attitude
with a auto burn.
[ No audio ]
-And, Discovery, for Sox, we concur.
We're ready for the maneuver.
-Okay, going to tap A.
[ No audio ]
-The Orbit 1 team is leaving and Orbit 2 is here.
Brian and Kay will be talking to you.
To say that it's been an exciting day
for us down here would be an understatement,
but we're looking forward to even more exciting days
as we begin the EVAs tomorrow.
So we'll be back with you tomorrow
for Mark and Steve's EVA.
[ No audio ]
-Orbit 1, thanks a lot
for looking over our shoulder during the rendezvous.
We sure appreciate all the effort that went into
developing the procedures
and getting everybody trained up for this.
And it was a lot of fun to do.
-Thanks, Doc.
[ No audio ]
-Discovery, Houston.
We were able to pick up some K-U here,
now that we're back on the west satellite,
and we're with you taking a look.
-Okay, Kay.
We're just wrapping up with the RMS minus B3 survey.
I guess a quick verbal assessment here
is the telescope and the arrays
look like they're in pretty darn good shape.
Sox may want to talk to you later
about a comparison between 61 and now.
But for the uneducated observer like me,
it looks really in fine shape.
-We copy. That sounds great.
[ No audio ]
-And, Houston, do you still have TV?
-We do, for about 15 more seconds.
And we are looking at that little apparent ding.
-Okay, that ding is a penetration.
We verified there is a hole all the way through.
And we have some other footage we can send you later
that will better illustrate that.
-Discovery is flying in an orientation
to enable Hubble's batteries to be recharged at the moment.
-Discovery, we think we're ready for D-11 auto.
-We copy and concur.
[ No audio ]
Got a good picture.
[ No audio ]
-You guys would probably rather look at HST, though.
We'll give you that.
Sure is pretty.

-Good morning, Discovery.
Time for the first two princes to do a little work outside.
-All right, we're ready to go fix that thing.
Hey, and I got compliment you
on the beautiful selection of wake-up music so far.
Oh, I just wanted to say that the wake-up music so far
has been really beautiful, Chris.
[ No audio ]
And, Houston, Discovery.
We want to reinforce what we said earlier,
that from all appearances, from what we can see,
the arrays are normal, just slued off.
-Understand,
and that's the best thing we can get out of these visuals
is to reassure everybody that everything is nominal.
[ No audio ]
Discovery, Houston.
Good video.
A couple more questions people are asking --
When you saw the motion,
and I realize it was all over pretty quick,
but in addition to the motion
of the slipping of the joints themselves,
did you notice any by-stem flexing?
And what was the settling time after the event occurred?
[ No audio ]
-Okay, we've just pooled our knowledge here,
but we obviously didn't see the initiation,
so we can't speak of by-stem deflection at that point.
But once it was moving and then when it reversed directions,
we wouldn't say that there was
a tremendous amount of by-stem deflection.
The total settling time
when it finally stopped in its current location
was probably no more than five seconds, I guess we would say.
And the total movement time from initiation to final settling,
probably 15 seconds.
-Thank you.
[ No audio ]
-Houston, Discovery with more words
on the solar array movement and a question.
-We're listening.
-We all agree here that the movement
and even the damping oscillations
were more a movement of the canister
rather than the solar array tips,
indicating a rotation of the solar array itself
rather than by-stem deflection.
And it also seems the dampening coincided
with the closing of the depress valve,
which would confirm your earlier hypothesis
of that being the cause.
-Beautiful picture now that the sun has rose.
Solar array sure looks pretty.
Just for your info,
GSF Goddard is getting ready to power up the SADE,
so we should get things moving.
Looks like it's powered on now.
You might think ahead if we proceed with this plan
to use the hatch equalization valve.
We would be using the aft hatch valve first.
And you'll be able to throttle that.
You'll want to be keeping an eye on the thermal cover.
Make sure that it does not pop open.
If it does, then close the valve,
and we might then consider using the upper hatch valve.
Also, of course, you'll be
watching the solar arrays closely during the depress,
and if you see any motion,
then you can let the EVA crew know to close the valve.
-Houston, Discovery.
For your future reference, we have a timer set up.
-Okay, we copy, and just so you can get ready,
we are getting ready -- No, we now have a go for depress.
And you will be monitoring the solar array.
And if you see any motion,
stop the depress.
And the ground will be monitoring the SADE angles.
-Stevie, bring it forward another foot, please.
-Okay, forward a foot.
[ No audio ]
-And stop.
-Stop.
-It's overcoming, and if you could yaw me back to zero,
that'd be great. -1 point off.

[ No audio ]
-Stevie, can you take the yaw out, please?
-Is it up? -Yeah, forward.
[ No audio ]
-Whoops, there's a -- Mark, the door opened.
-What?
-The doors just flung open.
-Sure did. -How about that?
-Are we in attitude? -Yeah, we're close enough.
-I can go get that door if you want.
-Just leave it out there. -Okay.
-How about that?
-Yeah, let's see this one.
-Is there enough room, Steve?
-Yes. Hold on one sec.
-All right, top and bottom entering at the same time.
I'm gonna nudge it a little bit to the right
to get it in the rail.
You're on the rail down here now.
-Okay, give me a little push down there.
-You're on the rail.
I'm on my rail now.
-Going real smooth.
-We're halfway down.
-A little bit --
Push that back. It's not seated.
You got to come down.
Seat it on the beam.
-Drive it real slow in the clockwise direction.
-All right.
-See how I'm pushing this against the rail?
Try to keep it there.
Just take out some of it. -Okay.
-That's right.
[ No audio ]
-Okay, stop. Stop.
Actually, give me another foot right.
-Okay, more right.
[ No audio ]
-Okay, stop.
And work nice and slow.
Is that all right?
-You can let go of me. -Okay, letting go.
-Okay, tether is retrieving.
-Houston, Discovery.
You have a go for the STIS alignment test.
-Okay, we copy. Really good work.
Also looking ahead,
the HSG project copied Mark's description of the seals,
and we understand what he said,
but they would very much like to get pictures ASAP,
in fact, before the GHRS installation.
So if you could try to put that into your timeline,
we'd appreciate it.
-Not gonna help them make any decision,
but we can do it right now if you want.
-Okay, if you have download capability right now.
-Yes, we do.
And we would appreciate that. Thank you.
-Okay.

Welcome to space,
and it was nice seeing a big smile on your face.
Have a good one.
-Thank you.
Yes, I think you're gonna see a smile a lot today.

-Not as many bubbles, either.
-No, no divers around you.

-And, Steve, while we have a second here,
I can give you a verbal on this MLI on these arrays.
-All stop. All stop.
-It in a number of places is cracked.
Uh...
Sort of like it's just gotten old and looks like it's cracked.
I don't see any place where it's crumbling.
But I would recommend, I guess,
that we be extra careful in not touching any of this MLI
on any of these days up here,
because I think there's good potential
for pieces to come off.
-Okay, so it's kind of spider-web cracks?
-Right, right. That's a good description.

-I know you want a good view.
-Okay, I'm gonna pull the pin.
Okay, watch. It might pop out.

-Discovery, Houston with a question on the MLI.
[ No audio ]
-Go ahead. Joe's listening.
-Yeah, it's hard to tell from the pictures we're seeing here,
but it could well --
it looks like it might just be the outer-most layer
of the multi-layer insulation that's torn and pulling away.
Can you give us some insight into that?
-Yeah, I can definitely verify that.
It's just a very thin layer of looks almost like aluminum foil.
And underneath that is the quilted blanket,
and it is fully intact.
So I don't believe --
You know, we don't have problem of protection from the door.
We just have a problem of contamination
from the stuff that could break off.
[ No audio ]
Bring me forward if you would, Mark.
About a foot and a half.
-Coming forward.

as the Earth clearly in view behind them.
The orbiter has reached
the midpoint of the 60th orbit of the mission.
Halfway through the 60th orbit of the mission,
just about to cross the equator
traveling southeasterly across central Africa.
-Mark was just commenting on that.

-Would you like to take this trash bag for me?
-Yeah. Matter of fact, I'm gonna need it.
-Again, my debris report here --
nothing noticeable in the bay.

Door seals are good all the way around.
Okay, Dr. Stevie, take me down.
-Going down.
-You give them the cable report?
-Yeah, I did, Steve, but just to reiterate,
there's no cable stress.
It's exactly the way we trained it.
Definite.
-Very good.
-Discovery, Houston for Steve.
-Go ahead.
-Some more good news.
The OCE aliveness test is successfully completed.
-Wow. How about that for real-time feedback?
Good news.
Okay, that's good, Dr. Stevie. Stop.
-And Discovery for Steve.
When an opportunity presents itself
during the solar-ray slew,
we'd appreciate some feedback
on the appearance of the MLIs in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4.

was probably no more than five seconds, I guess we would say.
And the total movement time from initiation to final settling,
probably 15 seconds.
-Thank you.

-Houston, Discovery with more words
on the solar array movement and a question.
-We're listening.
-We all agree here that the movement
and even the damping oscillations
were more a movement of the canister
rather than the solar array tips,
indicating a rotation of the solar array itself
rather than by-stem deflection.
And it also seems the dampening coincided
with the closing of the depress valve,
which would confirm your earlier hypothesis
of that being the cause.
-Beautiful picture now that the sun has rose.
Solar array sure looks pretty.
Just for your info,
GSF Goddard is getting ready to power up the SADE,
so we should get things moving.
Looks like it's powered on now.
You might think ahead if we proceed with this plan
to use the hatch equalization valve.
We would be using the aft hatch valve first.
And you'll be able to throttle that.
You'll want to be keeping an eye on the thermal cover.
Make sure that it does not pop open.
If it does, then close the valve,
and we might then consider using the upper hatch valve.
Also, of course, you'll be
watching the solar arrays closely during the depress,
and if you see any motion,
then you can let the EVA crew know to close the valve.
-Houston, Discovery.
For your future reference, we have a timer set up.
-Okay, we copy, and just so you can get ready,
we are getting ready -- No, we now have a go for depress.
And you will be monitoring the solar array.
And if you see any motion,
stop the depress.
And the ground will be monitoring the SADE angles.
-Stevie, bring it forward another foot, please.
-Okay, forward a foot.
[ No audio ]
-And stop.
-Stop.
-It's overcoming, and if you could yaw me back to zero,
that'd be great. -1 point off.
Trying to figure out whether it's forward or rear.
[ No audio ]
-Stevie, can you take the yaw out, please?
-Is it up? -Yeah, forward.
[ No audio ]
-Whoops, there's a -- Mark, the door opened.
-What?
-The doors just flung open.
-Sure did. -How about that?
-Are we in attitude? -Yeah, we're close enough.
-I can go get that door if you want.
-Just leave it out there. -Okay.
-How about that?
-Yeah, let's see this one.
-Is there enough room, Steve?
-Yes. Hold on one sec.
-All right, top and bottom entering at the same time.
I'm gonna nudge it a little bit to the right
to get it in the rail.
You're on the rail down here now.
-Okay, give me a little push down there.
-You're on the rail.
I'm on my rail now.
-Going real smooth.
-We're halfway down.
-A little bit --
Push that back. It's not seated.
You got to come down.
Seat it on the beam.
-Drive it real slow in the clockwise direction.
-All right.
-See how I'm pushing this against the rail?
Try to keep it there.
Just take out some of it. -Okay.
-That's right.
[ No audio ]
-Okay, stop. Stop.
Actually, give me another foot right.
-Okay, more right.
[ No audio ]
-Okay, stop.
And work nice and slow.
Is that all right?
-You can let go of me. -Okay, letting go.
-Okay, tether is retrieving.
-Houston, Discovery.
You have a go for the STIS alignment test.
-Okay, we copy. Really good work.
Also looking ahead,
the HSG project copied Mark's description of the seals,
and we understand what he said,
but they would very much like to get pictures ASAP,
in fact, before the GHRS installation.
So if you could try to put that into your timeline,
we'd appreciate it.
-Not gonna help them make any decision,
but we can do it right now if you want.
-Okay, if you have download capability right now.
-Yes, we do.
And we would appreciate that. Thank you.
-Okay.
[ No audio ]
-You're a good two feet above the outside.
-Okay.
-Keep the pitch level if you can.
A little bit more down.
That's level right there.
[ No audio ]
-Discovery, Houston.
The STIS aliveness test is complete and was successful.
-All right.
Fantastic.
I know a lot of scientists around the world
are happy about that.
-If you can take me over it a little bit, I'll get the door.
[ No audio ]
[ Radio chatter ]
-Aperture's going in the door now.
Arm's going in.
Am I on the rail?
-You're on the rail with the B latch.
Now you're on the rail.
-You can see the placement now of NICMOS
and that angle iron,
that right-angle guide rail at the bottom-right.
Steve Smith is looking down the upper left-hand corner
and aligning that rail.
[ No audio ]
-Go ahead and pitch me five more degrees, Greg.
-Pitching 5 more of that. That would give you 20.
-Okay.
-Steve Smith now making the final installation
of the NICMOS into the aft shroud
of the Hubble Space Telescope
with assistance from Mark Lee.
Operating the Shuttle's robot arm is Greg Harbaugh,
who will be one of the space walkers
on the second and fourth EVAs.
-Clearance?
-To go more than a foot in, you're gonna have to go up.
-Okay, stop.
-Stop.
-Okay, why don't you give me another five degrees of pitch?
Oh, it's still aligned, Greg. Hold on.
Can you take me up,
without me hitting my backpack, about six inches?
Do that.
-Yeah, you've got over a foot,
almost a foot and a half clearance, Steve.
Until you stand up straight.
-So I won't do that.
Okay, that's good. Now take me in.
-Coming in.
-Popped open pretty hard.
Okay, stop.
Stop.
[ No audio ]
Looks pretty secure.
-Yeah, we didn't see anything fly out.
-Okay.
Greg, take me aft about six inches.
Half a click.
All right, stop. Stop and down.
-Down.
-So same settings for this vault.
-Yes, sir.
-That's good.
-Okay, we haven't tried to motor it.
A4, torque 38.
Would you like us to do that first?
