ATMOSPHERE A FEW HOURS LATER

193
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:09,864
WITH TRASH.

194
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,574
IT'S A BUSY TIME IN SPACE.

195
00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:12,158
YOU CAN SEE A BUNCH OF THE

00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:14,744
VEHICLES ATTACHED TO THE

197
00:08:14,744 --> 00:08:16,829

WILL SPEND AN EXTENDED STAY IN

213
00:08:55,117 --> 00:08:58,371
ORBIT BEFORE IT DISPERSES THAT

00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,665
TRASH TO CONDUCT A SECONDARY

215
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:01,540

00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:11,670
CENTER OVER TO SITE 31.

230
00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:13,923
TRANSPORTED HORIZONTALLY, THEN

231
00:11:13,923 --> 00:11:20,054
PROPPED UP VERTICALLY.

232
00:11:20,054 --> 00:11:22,056

239
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:39,865
THEY WILL DETRACT CLOSER TO

241
00:11:41,158 --> 00:11:42,701
JUST A FEW SECONDS, REALLY.

242
00:11:42,701 --> 00:11:46,122
THOSE TWO UMBILICAL TOWERS FIRST

00:12:48,893 --> 00:12:52,188
JUST ABOUT 98 DEGREES FARENHEIT.

258
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:53,981
A HOT SUMMER DAY THERE.

259
00:12:53,981 --> 00:13:23,552
37 CENTIGRADE.

260
00:13:23,552 --> 00:13:25,554
NOW, TO MAKE A TWO-ORBIT

261
00:13:25,554 --> 00:13:27,097
RENDEZVOUS, THE PROFILE FOR WHEN

262
00:13:27,097 --> 00:13:28,057
THE PROGRESS LAUNCHES IS JUST A

263
00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:30,059
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

264
00:13:30,059 --> 00:13:32,895
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

265
00:13:32,895 --> 00:13:34,855
AT THE TIME OF LAUNCH IS

266
00:13:34,855 --> 00:13:37,858
SCHEDULED TO BE JUST ABOUT 254

267
00:13:37,858 --> 00:13:41,153
STATUE MILES OVER SOUTHWEST

268
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:41,946
KAZAKHSTAN.

269
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:44,281
THE SPACE STATION WILL BE 315

270
00:13:44,281 --> 00:13:50,454
MILES BEHIND PROGRESS.

271
00:13:50,454 --> 00:13:52,248
SPACE STATION WILL LEAPFROG OVER

272
00:13:52,248 --> 00:13:55,584
PROGRESS.

273
00:13:55,584 --> 00:13:57,211
AND JUST ABOUT THE TIME PROGRESS

274
00:13:57,211 --> 00:13:59,129
IS INSERTED INTO ORBIT, THE

275
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:02,049
STATION WILL BE 254 STATUE MILES

276
00:14:02,049 --> 00:14:04,385
OVER SOUTHERN RUSSIA, JUST NORTH

277
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:08,347
OF THE BORDER OF MONGOLIA.

278
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:10,015
AT THAT TIME, THE SPACE STATION

279
00:14:10,015 --> 00:14:11,725
WILL BE JUST OVER 1,000 MILES

280
00:14:11,725 --> 00:14:13,978
AHEAD OF THE PROGRESS.

281
00:14:13,978 --> 00:14:17,022
PROGRESS WILL BE INSERTED INTO A

STEEP INCLINATION INTO ORBIT.

283
00:14:20,484 --> 00:14:21,986
THAT WILL HELP IT TO GO ONCE

284
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:24,154
IT'S INSERTED INTO ORBIT TO

285
00:14:24,154 --> 00:14:26,490
STEEPLY CLIMB OVER THE COURSE OF

286
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:29,618
TWO ORBITS AROUND THE EARTH OR

287
00:14:29,618 --> 00:14:33,789
JUST A LITTLE OVER THREE HOURS

288
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:35,249
AND FINALLY CATCH UP WITH THE

289
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:42,590
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.

290
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:43,215
YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE DUCTING

291
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:47,094

293
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:51,348
THOSE FOUR STRAP-ON BOOSTERS,

294
00:14:51,348 --> 00:14:53,684
AGAIN, WILL BE THE FIRST STAGE.

295
00:14:53,684 --> 00:14:55,311
THAT WILL IGNITE FIRST.

296
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:56,228
JUST PRIOR TO LAUNCH AND RAMP

297
00:14:56,228 --> 00:15:00,482

303
00:15:14,121 --> 00:15:38,687
SPACE STATION.

304
00:15:38,687 --> 00:15:40,147
NOW JUST A LITTLE UNDER TEN

305
00:15:40,147 --> 00:15:42,107

306
00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:43,817
AT THIS POINT, THERE WILL BE A

307
00:15:43,817 --> 00:15:45,819
SERIES OF INCREMENTAL MILESTONES

308
00:15:45,819 --> 00:15:47,446

310
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:49,782
JUST ABOUT THE TEN-MINUTE MARK,

311
00:15:49,782 --> 00:15:51,784
THE GYROS SHOULD BE IN FLIGHT

312
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,577
READINESS, AND THE RECORDERS

313
00:15:53,577 --> 00:15:57,373
WILL HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED.

314
00:15:57,373 --> 00:15:59,249

FOR LAUNCH.

323
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:14,223
OF COURSE, A SERIES OF

324
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:16,183

00:21:31,164 --> 00:21:32,499
JUST FOUR MINUTES FROM LAUNCH.

377
00:21:32,499 --> 00:21:35,168
THE NEXT MILESTONE WILL BE WHEN

378
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:36,795
THE FUEL LINES AND OTHER

379
00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:37,963
ELEMENTS OF THE ROCKET ENGINES

380
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,424
ARE PURGED WITH NITROGEN TO FIRE

381
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:43,301
PROOF THEM BY REMOVING VAPORS OF

382
00:21:43,301 --> 00:22:47,699
FUEL AND OXIDIZER.

383
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:50,160
TWO MINUTES, 45 SECONDS TO

384
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,619

385
00:22:50,619 --> 00:22:51,495
AT THIS TIME, THE BOOSTER TANK

386
00:22:51,495 --> 00:22:53,622
WILL BE PRESSURIZED FOR LAUNCH

387
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:58,126
AND OPTIMIZED THE FLOW OF FUEL.

388
00:22:58,126 --> 00:22:58,752
HELPS ADD TO STRUCTURAL SUPPORT

389
00:22:58,752 --> 00:23:03,298

390
00:23:03,298 --> 00:23:03,882
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

391
00:23:03,882 --> 00:23:06,635
CURRENTLY FLYING 260 STATUTE

392
00:23:06,635 --> 00:24:01,022

00:24:01,022 --> 00:24:02,858
ONE MINUTE, 30 SECONDS TO

394
00:24:02,858 --> 00:24:03,108

395
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:05,193
AT THIS POINT, THE GROUND

396
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:06,987
PROPELLANT FEED WILL NOW HAVE

397
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:19,916
BEEN TERMINATED.

398
00:24:19,916 --> 00:24:20,625
SPACE STATION CURRENTLY FLYING

399
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:26,882
OVER TURKMENSTAN, ABOUT TO PASS

400
00:24:26,882 --> 00:24:29,259
OVER UZBEKISTAN, THEN

401
00:24:29,259 --> 00:24:30,719
KAZAKHSTAN, THE POSITION OF THE

402
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:32,846
ISS AT THE TIME OF LAUNCH.

403
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:35,056
ONE MINUTE TO GO, THE SOYUZ WILL

404
00:24:35,056 --> 00:24:37,684
BE SWITCHING TO INTERNAL POWER.

405
00:24:37,684 --> 00:24:39,352
SOYUZ BOOSTER ON TOP IS THE

406
00:24:39,352 --> 00:25:05,253
PROGRESS VEHICLE.

407
00:25:05,253 --> 00:25:06,880
THERE'S THAT FIRST UMBILICAL

408
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:25,649
TOWER RETRACTING.

409
00:25:25,649 --> 00:25:35,951
SECOND UMBILICAL TOWER.

410
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:40,455
IGNITION HAS BEEN STARTED.

411
00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:42,624
ENGINES THROTTLING UP.

412
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:46,253
AND LIFTOFF.

413
00:25:46,253 --> 00:25:50,048
WE HAVE LIFTOFF OF THE PROGRESS.

414
00:25:50,048 --> 00:25:52,676

00:25:53,718 --> 00:25:59,724
SPACE STATION.

417
00:25:59,724 --> 00:26:02,185
EVERYTHING LOOKING GOOD SO FAR.

418
00:26:02,185 --> 00:26:04,521
THOSE FOUR STRAP-ON BOOSTERS

419
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:05,814
PROVIDING THE INITIAL LIFT OF

420
00:26:05,814 --> 00:26:06,856
THE VEHICLE, WILL BURN FOR ONE

421
00:26:06,856 --> 00:26:39,180
MINUTE, 58 SECONDS.

422
00:26:39,180 --> 00:26:39,806
STILL GETTING SOME GREAT VIEWS

423
00:26:39,806 --> 00:26:42,600

JUST ABOUT 30 MORE SECONDS OF

428
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:17,385
THIS STAGE.

429
00:27:17,385 --> 00:27:18,720
AT THIS POINT, THE VEHICLE IS

430
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,515
TRAVELING WELL OVER 1,000 MILES

431
00:27:22,515 --> 00:27:37,906

00:27:42,577 --> 00:27:45,038
NOW SWITCHING TO ANIMATION, THAT

434
00:27:45,038 --> 00:27:47,415

LITTLE MORE THAN ONE MORE

451
00:29:11,207 --> 00:29:16,713
MINUTE.

452
00:29:16,713 --> 00:29:18,006
THIRD STAGE WILL IGNITE A LITTLE

453
00:29:18,006 --> 00:29:18,882
BIT BEFORE THE END OF THE CORE

454
00:29:18,882 --> 00:29:22,302
STAGE IS BURNING.

455
00:29:22,302 --> 00:29:24,137
HOT FIRE TECHNIQUE THAT WILL

456
00:29:24,137 --> 00:29:26,014

457
00:29:26,014 --> 00:29:28,808
BY THAT ORANGE STRIPE IN THE

458
00:29:28,808 --> 00:29:37,775
MIDDLE OF THE ROCKET.

459
00:29:37,775 --> 00:29:38,610
STILL LOOKING GOOD.

460
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,236

STARTING TO GET SOME VIEWS FROM

469
00:31:03,027 --> 00:31:07,198
THAT THIRD STAGE.

470
00:31:07,198 --> 00:31:08,616
YOU CAN SEE THIS IS ACTUALLY

481
00:31:43,651 --> 00:31:45,361
THIRD STAGE WILL CUT OFF AND

482
00:31:45,361 --> 00:31:46,070
SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE INTO

483
00:31:46,070 --> 00:32:39,290
AN ORBIT.

484
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:40,667
SEVEN MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT,
