STS-117 - ATLANTIS - ISS DOCKING (INSIDE SPACE SHUTTLE)

[boostwrx]

I wanna know what they're saying... Is there a version with the cam mic?

[therightpremiums]

What is the commander doing at 0:57?

[DanaMedic77]

@therightpremiums He is using what's called the Translational Hand Controller. This uses the RCS (the myriad of small jets located around the Shuttle), which helps give small adjustments to the orientation. It's called translation, due to moving side-to-side, up and down, and back and forward. The other stick is for rotational control - pitch, roll and yaw. These commands are much less subtle and generally are not used when approaching the ISS.

[Dylanforlife]

Oh dear. Upside down anti-gravity hug.

[SourProductions0]

and in the end they did it with a laptop xD

[james342121]

Look at all those LCD's, switches and buttons. Awesome.

[yuriogy1]

this is so awesome.

[PwnageFoU]

I've had the pleasure of hearing two of the Russian cosmonauts speak, one at my school, the other at the UN. I really want to be them.

[unbrokenjack]

Those seats look very comfy!

[tlages]

"Yes, Houston I would be in the most complex vehicle ever designed with 2.5 million parts floating 220 miles above the earth rendezvousing with a 160 Billion dollar research facility built over several years weighing over 828,340 lb pounds and moving at 17000 miles per hour. I can float around like no ones business and my shit is sucked up into a tube. How are you?"

[molly43able]

that would be so freaky opening the hatch...not docked yet? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!

[MO4B]

8:20 <-- LOL at dude floating by upside down AHAHHAHAHAHAH

[CWINDOWSsystem32]

@MO4B in space, there is no upside, just your perspective. up can be anywhere you want it to be.

[unbrokenjack]

@CWINDOWSsystem32 In space, no-one can hear you scream.

Look on the bright side though - in space, no-one can hear you fart, too.

[PMDGFlyer]

Must feel really weird when you dont know which way is up and which way is down..

[kvnfranks]

I love the contrast of technology and innovation with paper checklists and pencils. Just goes to show what works and what doesn't.

[someguy018]

Luckiest people in the universe lol

[MrDiamonds01]

nice 400mm lense

[omgitsaghiles]

When I first got into aviation I thought landing a small prepeller driven aircraft was a difficult task then I thought landing a commercial air ligner was the hardest job on earth then I see this and I'm truly amazed

[MultiIPwnage]

@omgitsaghiles But theres no wind, and low gravity and a vacume

[kurga]

OHHH.. what's this button do??

[elbigjim]

thats my cockpit! 

[DanM25456]

I can't wait to fly someday. I doubt it will be with Nasa, grr. Stupid ADHD. Thank God for SpaceX.

[kosiak10851]

waste of money

[MrSketchtastic]

so kool there in space it so rare to say that and see ..space..wow

[jonesy97]

This is the stuff dreams are made of. I mean, as a kid, I thought of how cool it would be to dock with a big space station, and it's been a reality for years, now. Truly amazing. As a professional (aviator or otherwise) how are you going to top that? Wow.

[ingareinar007]

@jonesy97 I agree 10000% ;) I met Fuglesang, the Swedish astronaut, and it was wayyy cool to ask him questions! And he, as often they are, he seemed so ordinary, down to earth (haha) kinda guy. Kewl! Nowadays, as a grown up" I`m not easy to impress (like I was as a kid, got "blind" I guess) but all spacestuff does.. X)

[jonesy97]

@ingareinar007 That's cool. I'm afraid if I met an Astronaut, especially one who has been to the ISS, I would just bombard him with hundreds of questions, to the point that I'm becomming a nussiance! Yeah, when you get older, it's hard for people to make a big impression on you, but these guys and gals just blow my mind. I LOVE the professionalism about it all. My kind of environment. My kind of people.

[RadioActiveMan95]

At 4:35 That's one big camera!! =o

[jonjhonson]

2:30 looks like he's doing a crossword puzzle

[Vuotaraaputin]

i just love the pilot! that cap is totally awesome :D

[TheKillmanable]

cool astronot

[xoio]

Pretty crampted in there .... nobody fart!

[cotoronto]

wow everything is like slow motion

[djonmyx]

lol astronaut with glasses..nasa is always a lier nyahahahah

[zombieX111222333]

so many buttons

[ingareinar007]

Didn`t James Bond take that spacestation out? Or is Drax back taking over the world again?

[jonesy97]

@ingareinar007 Moonraker! Classic. Also, the cheeziest Bond movie, ever, but was still fun.

[ingareinar007]

@jonesy97 Hehehe, cool man X)

[xmetalgearx]

docking engineers wear glasses

[TheRealNinjaBaka]

What the...an astronaut with glasses :D Now that's awesome! I always thought that health check for astronauts is quite strict.

[xmetalgearx]

yea... once a pilot with good pair of eyes gets old, they requires glasses

[Edydar]

Not everyone crew member of the space ships has to be a pilot.

[crayzidesi]

what do the hand-held laser marks do?

[mach25man]

Hand held laser is a back up to the shuttle laser.

[kn9iou]

AWESOME !

[stijntje88]

Heros!

[farmen2008]

just another day at the office.

[DavidBIGdArruda]

Well, that's one hell of an office.

[MrSketchtastic]

@farmen2008 hahha i like dat just another day at the office ..good one

[air1989]

Look, how calm them astronaut's look in that shuttle. Ohh boy i wish i was up there, great video 5* and faved.

[ScoutSniper338]

@air1989 That is their job, they trained for it many years. I bet you look calm doing your every day job,

[mahukalamata]

"sunni" williams is from my hometown of needham, ma she went to my highscool

[TonyFirelli]

I was inside Pathfinder

[AltarRS]

what's the present they were given? Looks like a book

[ltcurry]

Lets keep it up. Its our futures out there. We cae fro space, now we have to design the technology that put us here in the first place, to alow us to each or brothers, or creaters. God and the anchients for which i believe. this Solar system alone hads billions of years in history. We are nieve to beleive we are the first and only besides the intelligent beings to eith inhabit or visit this solar system, and that we are alone in this glaxy. Its ludacris. The universe is not understood at all

[halfordsss]

can you imagine, you open the door and your visitors are hanging upside down, and you kiss and hug :)) god bless these guys for representing our beloved Earth up there! and 10x for the video, no doubt it was fun watching!

[Quake120]

Hopefully one day, even the average person will be able to experience something like this. Seeing the Earth from space lets you see what the Earth truly is: A fragile, insignificant speck in the vast expanse of the universe. It would make everybody realize how we should probably treat everybody and the planet better...

The experience of floating around in space in a zero-G environment would be amazing as well...

I've always been a big fan of NASA. Congrats guys on a job well done :)

[FlyBikes089]

SKILLS!

[fcbarcelone3]

i love you giys you are serving humanity go on

[mikeoehl]

a perfect example of what it means to be human

[NInails19]

this is so great!

[MYFreeSpeach4U]

What was i thinking,? For a brief second I thought I was there, This is the first time I ever saw this it And it was so damn

smart, Thanks for the ride, These are some brave people, I kinda think the ride is like setting on top of a roman Candle Hot enough to keep you on your toes, and cool enough to thank god you were here today!

[mikeoehl]

are you high?

[hdavy2002]

I wonder why NASA uses ordinary laptops onboard. Scary!!

[dunkmaster1992]

if you designed the space shuttle and all this what would you do? design a custom computer with custom written software, or use one that had already been tested over and over again for bugs and will work just fine for what you need it for. and obviously these aren't your average unreliable laptops..

[thesouthparkguy]

ROFLMAO XD There's people who think the ISS is a hoax too? Oh dear god, you must be so fucking gullible...fucking depressing that people like "Truth666" here exist.

Jesus, you fucking asshole, I've seen the ISS flyby many many times and you can even see solar panels instruments sticking out of it with a moderately powered telescope (I've done this as well). You wanna tell me that's fake? God, you're an idiot. Go read some David Icke books and call all us rational people brainwashed...

[deepditchdigger]

im on a mid course correction burn i've done fou rtoday lol

[mikeoehl]

why don't you get a fucking job then you bum?

[tomanyasses]

i wish i could go up i wish i could just sit in there and dream

[MilesB1975]

Shouldn't they have their baseball hats on backwards for such a difficult maneuver?

[txfirehawk]

Very funny dude. Me and my buddy joke about the ball cap backwards all the time :)

[morphex9903]

looks crowded in there....

[CelticReject]

Pizza Express go to any lengths these days don't they!

[pilot7893]

THe ISS gets free pizza from Dominoes because it hase to be there in 30 minutes or less!

[BlaggerDagger]

That was really cool! thanks for the vid!

[acoustique69]

very nice view inside atlantis

thanks for sharing

[etmonster2006]

lol...the womans hair lookes funny..just mving by its self..lolz

[rhplanettelex]

best job ever

[daaFerdi]

how long do you travel to the ISS on the average?

[jsfunfun]

are they running Windows on that laptop? LOL :) (sorry i couldn't resist) ;p

[thermoid]

the shuttle and most of the ISS systems run win 2k

[CiniCraft]

well, what did u expect crapintosh?

hehe WINDOWS FTW!

[Dante1969]

Ha ha windows!!

funny.

They use their own systems....

No Wincows no Rapintosh. this is Unix.

Really you would give your life in the hand of a crashing operating system?

[plastique45]

Mac OS X IS Unix BTW.

Nasa would never use a consumer OS with tons of nice looking glitz that require cpus and ram to operate. 100% of the system resource is mission-critical.

[starbabe58]

awsome

[amabodie]

Incredible! This was happening miles above our heads at some 18,000 miles an hour. What these guys have achieved is truly breathtaking.

[pappauno]

wtfff?>>

[ahardy5891]

man those people are so lucky that they got a one in a billion opportunity like this

[MTarr18]

Aswome video never seen the shuttle main computers on unless it was on Nasa Tv.

[Guitarmanmrgp]

gutes video in english:googd videoXD

[Zim804]

What happen if they touch the glass would it break?

[joachim2464]

what do you mean? Like touching with there hands. spaceflight is very gentle and accurate. If they crash into the iss something is very wrong. LOL!

[DIdle]

No, the glass is very strong. Each window has 3 panes of glass, inner, middle, and outer. Once (STS-6) a paint flake hit one of the overhead windows at orbital velocity (around 17,000 mph) and it put a hole in the outer pane and made a crater in the middle pane. The inner pane, that holds the air pressure in, was untouched. They could probably kick a window hard and not even crack it.

[da40flyer]

I think the tiles are even more amazing. I got to hold one once and they are so incredibly light and fragile but they take such a beating every time.

[DIdle]

I saw a demonstration at the Kennedy Space Center in 1989 where a man held a tile in one hand, and turned it red hot with a blow torch. Then he took the torch away and let me touch the tile immediately. It was already back to room temperature.

[tomanyasses]

so did i at the mall in riverside county california

[Karins27]

They are wearing sun glasses because of the bright lights on the iss and the shuttle. They use lights on the shuttle and on the iss so the astronauts can see what they are doing. You don't want them to dock on the wrong place do you!

[joachim2464]

They also use signals to guid them into and accurate flight path to the station. They have to guide within centimeters.

[jamesnw666]

Together with the NASA footage on YT I've seen, this ATASTS docking footage - (see Skylab & MIR too) makes for truly remarkable watching. Although I'd seen SS launches, etc., this kind of video documentation isn't what was in the UK at all, especially on VHF broadcast TV stock footage.

[Alzazyel]

DDios benga la sallud de estos ermanos quevivla ISS

[DocCroc1001]

incredible video. never scene docking from inside the shuttle!

[dontmakemestabyou]

Why is he wearing sunglasses in space??????

[scumbaguk]

If you think it's sunny on earth imagine what it's like in space. It's only dark on the shuttle when the earth is blocking the sun.

[Alzazyel]

si mi pana el sol en la tierra es dduro muy fuerte imajinat fuera de las protestoras emaforicas

[joachim2464]

correctly. 90 min dark and the 90 min sun and then over again. Must be hard to go from day to night several times a day LOL!

[joachim2464]

well we have a thing in space that are called sunlight. As you can see, the station is very bright, and if they look directly at the sun they can get damaged sight because there is no protective atmosphere out there to "lower the brightness". By the way, sunlight comes from a thing called the sun.

[JH486]

even with an atmosphere like on earth ur sight might get damaged, doesnt take that long down here either

[matt100330]

Wow great video

[boratdave89]

Wow what incredible views, what an experience

[bellerose88]

Pour quoi il faut avoir un bac pour etre astromaute? J'aurais aimer ca etre astronaute.

[JAMESSAW]

lol.... vrainment?

[RikeJunq]

Thankssss

[Engine7601]

Great video. Thanks

[Sortilegio1000]

!!!Magnifique!!! La bonne technologie, bon continuation!!!
