Starliner star learners configured for terminal Kenneth Roger this is Atlas
mission control we're at t-minus four minutes and holding
final launch preps are underway as a ula Atlas 5 rocket carrying Boeing star
binder capsule is fueled and ready for your mission to the International Space
Station SRB ignition enable Ellis thanks to
flight pressure but first you'll need to suit up at NASA's historic crew quarters
customized for maximum protection capability and comfort every Starliner
astronaut will wear the sleek innovative and highly mobile Boeing blue suit
during launch ascent and reentry flexible and light your suit as an array
of features including a figure visor and touch enabled gloves you've arrived at
Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 41 home of the Atlas 5 your ride is the
latest generation of the same rocket that took John Glenn and other mercury
astronauts to space more than 50 years ago loaded with more than 600 25,000
pounds of fuel and equipped with two solid rocket boosters the Atlas 5 rocket
will produce about a million and a half pounds of thrust with that kind of power
you're Starliner capsule will separate from the Atlas 5 and be on its way to
the space station in about 16 minutes
the Atlas 5 will fly a trajectory designed to minimize aerodynamic loads
but you'll still be feeling about three and a half G's you'll each Mach one or
the speed of sound at seventy four seconds on your way to a speed of more
than 17,000 miles per hour it's Starliner separation welcome to the
all-new Boeing Starliner humanity's space taxi while designed to be as
lightweight as possible the 20 engines and 28 thrusters of your autonomous
spacecraft have enough power to reposition the space station into a
higher orbit and avoid speeding space debris able to fly to and from the
International Space Station up to 10 times with up to seven passengers or a
mix of crew and cargo Starliner is the first u.s. capsule to return astronauts
on land rather than in the ocean
bowling is about to begin 32 members of the launch team will give their go for
launch you'll need to close your visor and
prepare for liftoff listen for the Starliner call that's you status check
to proceed with terminal count Atlas systems propulsion go pneumatic no lo2
go Starliner execute visor configuration Starliner visor close all steps are
complete prior to terminal count stable at step 3 rock record ring status range
green mission director this is the mission director you have permission for
launch status check go Alice go centaur Starliner just go for launch ready to
take America back to space 3 2 1 we have a party 188 mission and we have liftoff
of United Launch Alliance Atlas
we score them okay
which are real programs begun this RV chamber pressures I applied to looking
for burnout altered early and SR visa upon down and we have jettisoned the
survey's at this time and we have Bicol engine shutdown looks good we have
workers and stage separation team to purge for the RCS is underway we have
ignition and pull across the mayoral time and we have spacecraft separation
in just a few minutes you'll be docking with the International Space Station
from here you'll be able to spend time looking back at our planet our home from
almost 250 miles away
only a few hundred people have been to space so far but that number won't
remain small for long thanks to the Starliner space su will become a
destination for many many more
it's great to be here taken the experience congratulations you stuck the
docket stay for a day stay for a week or stay for a few months
your Starliner capsule will be here to take you home for now remember sky is
not children
you
