00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000


00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
Allard Beutel/STS-130 Launch 
Commentator:  T minus 16 seconds,

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:07.000
the sound suppression water system has been activated.

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:18.000
We're at T minus 10... nine... eight... seven... six... five... we have full main engine start... two... one... zero... booster ignition....

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.000
and liftoff of shuttle Endeavour with NASA's 
final space station crew compartment to

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:31.000
bring the bay window view to our celestial backyard.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.000
George Zamka/STS-130 Commander:  Houston, Endeavour, roll program. Rick Sturckow/Capcom:  Roger roll, Endeavour.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.000
Kylie Clem/Ascent Commentator:  This is mission control Houston, Endeavour's roll maneuver is complete.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:47.000
It's now in a heads-down position on track for its flight to the International Space Station.

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.000
Twenty-eight seconds into the flight, 
Endeavour flying at 1,100 mph, 1.3 miles in

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.000
altitude and seven miles downrange from the Kennedy Space Center,

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:03.000
according to onboard computers. 
Endeavour's engines are throttling down as

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:18.000
the orbiter passes through the area of maximum pressure on the vehicle.

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
Rick Sturckow/Capcom:  Endeavour, go at 
throttle up.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:25.000
George Zamka/STS-130 Commander:  Endeavour copies. Go at throttle up.

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.000
Kylie Clem/Ascent Commentator:  The three main engines on board are throttling back 
up,

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.000
now one minute, 10 seconds into the flight.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:40.000
Endeavour flying at 1,800 mph, 10 miles in altitude, 11 1/2 miles downrange.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.000
At liftoff, the fully fueled shuttle, boosters and external tank weighed 4 1/2 million pounds

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:52.000
and the total thrust at launch was 6,425,000 pounds.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.000
All systems continue to function well.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Three good main engines, three good 
power-generating fuel cells and three good

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:05.000
auxiliary power units for the hydraulic system.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:12.000
The next step will be the burnout and separation of the solid rocket boosters.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:19.000
Combined, the twin boosters provide 5.3 million pounds of thrust to propel the orbiter toward space.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:34.000
