:22:01
Together, they'll attempt
something never done before:
:22:06
The capture and repair
of a satellite in space.
:22:12
The satellite, Solar Max, broke down
after its first few months...
:22:17
...and is now rotating in orbit,
partially crippled.
:22:24
Okay, we show a dock.
:22:28
Len, how about if I roll Pinky
upside down and get him back here...
:22:33
They will be assisted
by astronaut T.J. Hart.
:22:36
He's going with a roll.
I'll pick him back up.
:22:40
The shuttle's arm is vital
in the repair...
:22:43
...and "T.J.", as they call him,
is an expert.
:22:48
And back up to the satellite.
:22:54
An astronaut, fully dressed in
a spacesuit, weighs close to 400 Ibs.
:22:59
In space, he'll weigh nothing at all.
:23:08
They practice the repair in a tank
at Johnson Space Center.
:23:13
It's the closest one can come
on Earth to weightlessness.
:23:27
- What was that? Must be space.
- Isn't that great?
:23:31
Houston to Challenger.
Unreadable. Big echo.
:23:37
Divers, take the subject down for
final ballasting in heads-up position.
:23:44
Sam, bring the pressure down on EV1.
:23:47
I'm gonna jump out of restraints
into a check fly.
:23:55
Pinky has a mockup
of the Manned Maneuvering Unit.
:23:59
A one-man spacecraft
that will propel him...
