GEORGE DILLER: And we'll listen now to Marc Levigne in the telemetry lab,
confirming solid rocket booster burnout.
MR. LEVIGNE: Seven miles, down-range distance 11.8, and a velocity of coming up on 1,000 miles an hour.
Our space systems still looking good. Controls are real smooth now,
engine and verniers continue to do well. Coming up on solid motor jettison.
And there they are! Solid motor jettison; all three have jettisoned. Now coming up on T +110 seconds.
Vehicle now at an altitude of 16 miles, down-range distance nine miles,
and a velocity exceeding 1,200 miles per hour. Plus 125 seconds, first phase continues to do well.
There's LOX tank bi-level press. The relief reset is activated, and our LOX tank top
pressure is slowly increasing as designed. Our first stage guidance has come in on time.
Now at an altitude of twenty-four miles, with a down-range distance of 9.9 miles,
and velocity of over 2,400 miles per hour. First stage vernier and main engine continue to do well.
They're at the levels they should be. Now passing 27 miles altitude, down-range
distance 21 miles, and a velocity of 3,300 miles per hour. First stage continues to do well.
Verniers and main engine are at the levels they should be. Chamber pressure looking good there.
Coming up on T+200 seconds into the mission. First stage systems look nominal at this point.
Now passing an altitude of 40 miles, down-range distance 75 miles,
and a velocity over 6,400 miles an hour. Coming up on T+235 seconds.
is still doing good. Main engine and verniers continue to do well as we continue our
first stage climb to the orbital highway. Our next event will be a MECO. I've enabled MECO.
switches. LOX and fuel came in. And we have MECO! Main engine did shut down.
Float verniers still working under a tank pressure. Looking good there. And MECO!
One, two, set, stages have separated. Second stage ignition.
