You certainly don't expect to see that today.
40 Alison White press
30 30 seconds. Center at flight press vehicle is not pressurized for flight
25 status check, go atlas, go centaur Go Starliner. All systems are go for
liftoff, Go Starliner
10 nine eight seven 65 four 32. And lift off. The Starliner is headed back
to space on the shoulders of atlas, powered by *** workforce dedicated to
its success. We have confirmation of *** good time on Starliner
well executed program
today.
This is the first plan, throttle down for atlas in preparation for max Q.
Next Q and Mexico's gonna make pressure on the vehicle.
Right now, atmospheric forces are the highest starliner atlas will face
during the uphill climb Mach one Atlas 5 and Starliner are now supersonic.
Thank you,
Throttling up
next in about 20 seconds. Star Liners, two solid rocket boosters will run out
of fuel and burn out.
Okay,
mm hmm.
And we have burnout on both sRB crew module connection is throttling back up
to full thrust
Now that we've passed the solid rocket booster burnout, you'll soon see those
two solid rocket boosters separate from the vehicle.
Mhm.
Always
Atlas five now weighs just one half of what it did at launch, Burning
propellant at *** rate of £2800 per second.
And we have indication of sRB jettison.
Atlas continues to ascend using solely the RD 1 80 engine. That's about
£820,000 of thrust at sea level.
Already ready is traveling down slightly as expected. Engine response
looks good.
Teams here on the ground confirming Starliner has *** good trajectory.
We're now 2:55 into today's flight. flying at an altitude of 56 km,
Our next throttle down will be to control acceleration forces, limit
forces on the crew to below 4GS. That is safe for an extended period of time,
One minute remaining in this burn, one minute to go.
Our humanity is now throttling to maintain 3.5 G acceleration on the
vehicle.
