attracting now the orbiter access arm which the crew uses for access in an
emergency that can be moved back in around the orbiter in about 15 seconds
if that's necessary
next event will come at six minutes when the orbiter test conductor will give
pilot Brian Duffy ago to perform the auxiliary power unit pre-start procedure
will set the switches in the cockpit to put the AP use and the ready to start
configuration which area started recording but epical AP use started five
minutes that's the last critical point at which we can hold if we need to at t
minus five minutes and be able to sit there for any duration of time
don't you think performed April you restart t-minus six minutes and Counting
restart
hdcp place that's complete with that to the apex and wonder pole as expected on
number two
copy that baby's coming Duffy reporting the configuration of those auxiliary
power units cpus will be given a command to start at t-minus five minutes in
about 20 seconds of the flight recorders as reported are operating
t-minus four yellow for other AP thought that everything is designed for 480 you
start Saturday to start a non-violent okay with your recent years charlie
bolden asking being asked to reconfigure the orbiter heaters for launch
crying pilot Brian Duffy is flipping three switches in the cockpit to start
to each of the AP use and he'll report when that activation is complete
ok 48 here first started completely naked ones on the heaters are
reconnected
hydrazine now flowing from the tanks toward the AP use stand by for final
rain safety checks
no particular for
final check now the orbiters flight control elements
Danny by four
gambling the three main engines
rutter elegans and speed brakes all have moved through a program test pattern and
they are verified ready to go
it's t-minus three minutes standing by to gamble the main engines 18 inches and
now in the start position
hello to the starting now to pressurize the liquid oxygen tank on the external
tank and atlantis now on internal power and land is being powered by its onboard
fuel cells yelps retraction of the cancer is oxygen vent hood now underway
affected area under that tonight
Brian Duffy reports that the
action to clear the caution and warning memory system is now and work he will be
reporting back wanna clear no new messages and action reporting complete
no surprises there
follow that logic providers and anything below the lockers got beaten and you're
so much where we love Philly cla250 placement of liquid oxygen to the
external tank is now being terminated they want that a 32
at t minus 31 seconds will have the handoff from the ground launch sequencer
to Atlantis's onboard computers space shuttle has now been disconnected from
all around propellant loading systems
what it t minus one minute and Counting ground launch sequencer verifying that
the main engines are ready for ignition the heaters around the joints of the
solid rocket boosters are being turned off residual hydrogen burning nighters
have now been armed will be fired at t-minus ten seconds to burn off any
residual hydrogen under the main engine nozzles sound suppression water system
is being armed t-minus 35 standing by for the handoff to minus 31 the handoff
is complete on board Atlantis computers now controlling booster hydraulic units
have been started on the final steering check the engine nozzles is underway

Earth
yes that Atlantis and the roll tide roll Atlantis Houston now controlling
Atlantis is rolling to the proper up sound down position for its climb 257
degree inflammation 160 nautical maha orbit
three engines now throttling down to Atlantis prepares to pass their maximum
aerodynamic pressure Atlantis speed now 500 miles an hour down range one
nautical mile and altitude 13,600 feet
one minute since liftoff altitude now 33,000 feet down range three nautical
miles
atlantis now traveling 1,000 23 miles an hour
Atlantis Houston go at throttle up right here . right product three engines now
throttling back up to 1 and four percent of rated capacity and operating well
good hydraulic systems good electrical systems altitude sixty-eight thousand
feet down range eight nautical miles
let us now traveling 1705 miles an hour
one minute 50 seconds since liftoff is now traveling 2386 miles an hour flight
controller standing offer burnout and separation of the solid rocket motors
Atlantis two engines are goza time to mention set off a good srp separate
stable TV goes and Atlantis we copy performance nominal property nominal
performance those calls indicated last first stage performance the solid
Rockets was as planned Atlantis could now perform it landing at Zaragosa Spain
are only two engines that that would become necessary however three engines
still operating well at 104 percent off to 225,000 feet down range 54 nautical
