2:18 the three liquid fuel main engines now
2:20 throttling back to 72 percent of rated
2:21 performance going into the bucket
2:23 reducing the stress on the shuttle as it
2:31 55 seconds into the flight all systems

4:16 the propulsion officer in mission
4:17 control reports that the orbital
4:19 maneuvering system engines have ignited
4:28 atlantis flying on the singular power of
4:29 its three liquid fuel main engines
4:31 draining about a half a ton of fuel per
4:34 second from the large fuel tank
4:35 coming up on the three-minute mark into
4:37 the flight atlanta's 46 miles in
4:40 altitude 81 miles downrange traveling
4:43 almost 4 000 miles an hour
4:45 atlanta's speeding straight is an arrow
4:46 torted state with the international
5:07 three and a half minutes into the flight
5:09 all of atlantis systems functioning by
5:10 the book
5:13 55 miles in altitude 120 miles downrange
5:41 atlanta's now too far downrange too high
5:43 in altitude to return to the launch site
5:45 in the event of an engine failure all
5:54 four minutes 20 seconds into the flight
5:57 atlantis now 62 miles in altitude 180
5:59 miles downrange traveling almost 6 000
6:02 miles an hour all systems perfor performing
6:03 performing
6:05 normally atlantis
6:06 on course on track
6:11 the environmental systems officer
6:13 reports a good flash evaporator system
6:15 activated for atlantis providing cooling
6:17 for the shuttle's avionics until the
6:19 payload bay doors are open about an hour
6:52 that call up from capcom chris ferguson
6:54 indicating that atlantis can now make
6:57 minimal orbital altitude targets in the
6:58 event of an engine failure however all
7:00 three engines continue to perform
7:02 normally as do the auxiliary power units
7:05 and the three power producing fuel cells
7:08 five and a half minutes into the flight
7:11 atlantis now 67 miles in altitude 312
7:13 miles downrange traveling almost 8 000
7:16 miles an hour
7:32 atlantis now beginning to roll to a
7:34 heads up position the main engine
7:36 swiveling enabling enabling the shuttle
7:39 to uh move to a heads-up position above
7:40 its fuel tank gaining more favorable
7:42 communications through the tracking and
7:44 data relay satellite system as it heads
7:51 atlantis prestamiko single-engine
7:56 single engine
7:58 104. that call from capcom chris
8:00 ferguson to commander charlie hoba
8:02 indicating that atlantis can make normal
8:04 orbital cutoff targets in the event of
8:20 now six minutes 45 seconds into the
8:23 flight atlantis 66 miles in altitude
8:25 almost 500 miles downrange from the
8:26 kennedy space center traveling almost
8:32 ninety seconds left in powered flight
8:47 coming up on the seven and a half minute
8:49 mark into the flight the main engines
8:50 will once again be throttled down to
8:52 limit the stress on the shuttle and its
8:54 six crew members to that of three times
8:56 the effect of gravity atlantis
8:57 approaching a speed of more than four
8:59 miles a second
9:00 at the time of main engine cutoff a
9:02 minute from now atlantis will enter its
9:04 preliminary orbit at a speed of five
9:16 seven minutes 40 seconds into the flight
9:27 eight minutes ten seconds into the flight
9:50 main engine cutoff confirmed by the
9:52 booster officer standing by for external
10:09 and the bird's eye view from the
10:11 external tank camera of external tank
10:13 separation atlantis now in its
10:18 commander charlie hobaugh will now
10:19 maneuver atlantis so that cameras
10:21 embedded in the shuttle's umbilical well
10:23 can perform photography of the discarded
10:25 external fuel tank and mike foreman and
10:28 leland melvin are about to use digital
10:30 still and video cameras to capture
10:31 hand-held imagery of the tank for
10:34 downlink a few hours from now a flawless
10:36 climb to orbit for the shuttle atlantis
10:38 and its six crew members on route now to
10:53 fergie will meet you in the post on swamp
11:31 hey fergie for uh tom
