00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000


00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
ALAN POINDEXTER: There's a view from the White Room, George, with

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:12.000
Rick getting his harness on. CJ's a Marine colonel and this is his third flight,

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.000
and I can tell you he's a great guy to work for. He was, I worked for him for

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.000
a number of years down here at Kennedy and... So, Mike's going to help CJ

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.000
into his seat. So this view is in the commander's-side window, George,

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:36.000
looking across the flight deck, and here we see CJ laying on his back

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:43.000
looking, he's looking forward through the forward windows.

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.000
GEORGE DILLER: You said the next astronaut on after the pilot will be

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.000
somebody going onto the middeck?

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.000
POINDEXTER: That's right. Here's Jim Reilly, he'll be going in next and

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.000
we'll stagger it, flight deck, middeck, until we're complete with the ingress.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.000
So Jim will be taking his seat on the middeck here in just a moment. So now

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.000
Jim's taking his seat and Mike Thompson will help him get strapped in, as

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:21.000
well. There's Lee Archambault, he's an Air Force colonel and he, this is

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:28.000
Lee's first flight. He'll be taking his seat in the right side of the flight deck.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.000
He's responsible for most of the orbiter systems' ascent and entry, as well as,

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.000
I think I'd said earlier, he's going to be operating the space station robotic

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:52.000
arm for the S3/S4 attachment onto the truss segment there. Looks like Danny

00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:00.000
Olivas is in the White Room there, getting his harness on. And George, this

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.000
view is another camera that, on the flight deck, it's been moved over to the

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:13.000
pilot side now and we can see Lee Archambault getting into his seat. There's

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.000
Clay Anderson in the White Room looking really happy. Clay is going to

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.000
space for a number of months. He won't return until October. He's got to get

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.000
to space station and take Suni's place, and then he's got a spacewalk in mid

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:37.000
July that I'm sure he's looking forward to. George, this is another flight deck

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.000
view that we've got. Mike's moved the camera now to the forward glare

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.000
shield, so we're looking aft now on the flight deck toward the aft windows

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.000
that Mike's going to stand on there. So, for orientation purposes, that's where

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.000
we are, and you can see Pat Forrester there, climbing through the interdeck

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.000
access, across the MS2 seat, and he'll take his place behind, behind "Brew"

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:08.000
in the MS1 seat. And there's Steve Swanson, he's the last crewmember to

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:15.000
enter today, so we've got all seven onboard. And "Swani's" now in the MS2

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:25.000
seat. You can see the camera looking down at him right now. Steve is the

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:31.000
MS2, or flight engineer, and he'll be assisting CJ and "Brew" with the

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.000
nominal procedures during ascent and also on entry.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.000
