- Hoot Gibson and the final part of the STS-27 Top Secret Mission and STS-71, the Space Shuttle and MIR space Station docking in space for the first time.
STS-71 was the third mission of the US/Russian Shuttle-Mir Program and the first Space Shuttle docking to the Russian space station Mir. It started on June 27, 1995, with the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis from Launchpad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Shuttle delivered a relief crew of two cosmonauts Anatoly Solovyev and Nikolai Budarin to the station and recovered Increment astronaut Norman Thagard. Atlantis returned to Earth on July 7 with a crew of eight. It was the first of seven straight missions to Mir flown by Atlantis, and the second Shuttle mission to land with an eight-person crew after STS-61-A in 1985.
For the five days the Shuttle was docked to Mir they were the largest spacecraft in orbit at the time. STS-71 marked the first docking of a Space Shuttle to a space station, the first time a Shuttle crew switched members with the crew of a station and the 100th crewed space launch by the United States. The mission carried Spacelab and included a logistical resupply of Mir. Together the Shuttle and station crews conducted various on-orbit joint US/Russian life science investigations with Spacelab along with the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment-II (SAREX-II) experiment.

The primary objectives of this flight were to rendezvous and perform the first docking between the Space Shuttle and the Russian Space Station Mir on June 29. In the first U.S.-Russian(Soviet) docking in twenty years, Atlantis delivered a relief crew of two cosmonauts Anatoly Solovyev and Nikolai Budarin to Mir.[1]
Other prime objectives were on-orbit joint United States of America-Russian life sciences investigations aboard SPACELAB/Mir, logistical resupply of the Mir and recovery of US astronaut Norman E. Thagard.
Secondary objectives included filming with the IMAX camera and the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment-II (SAREX-II) experiment.[1]
STS-71 was the 100th U.S. human space launch conducted from Cape Canaveral, the first U.S. Space Shuttle-Russian Space Station docking and joint on-orbit operations; largest spacecraft ever in orbit; and the first on-orbit changeout of Shuttle crew.
The rendezvous sequence began at 15:32:19 EDT with a lift-off in-plane with Mir's orbit, at the opening of the 10 minute 19 second launch window. Ascent was nominal with no OMS 1 burn required.[1] The OMS 2 burn, initiated at 42 minutes 58 seconds Mission Elapsed Time, adjusted the orbit to 160 x 85.3 nautical miles. It was the lowest ever perigee altitude flown by an orbiter.[2] This facilitated a very rapid initial catch up rate with Mir of about 880 nautical miles per orbit.[3] Almost three hours later the orbit was raised to more typical values of 210 x 159 nautical miles by the OMS 3 burn.

Where did my comments go?
I got to spend a week with Hoot at Space Camp. He's not only an amazingly accomplished pilot and astronaut, he's a very nice person and doesn't come across as full of himself, even though he's earned the right to be so. I asked him what he would have said on 27 if he felt the orbiter departing, and he wouldn't say, but he's said in the past he had some choice words for Houston before they all came apart if a hole burned in the orbiter as Columbia did years later....
I can see him not revealing what he would of said as it wouldn't be as epic if it was really happening, plus a horrible thing to imagine, so Ican see him not wanting to do that. I really like Hoot
What a humble, down to earth guy. Famous astronaut hero goes to Space Camp and also accepts a post-retirement job with Southwest Airlines as a first officer (then captain)
The payload was USA-34, since identified as Lacrosse 1. It is the first of 5 intelligence satellites in the Lacrosse family. It's a reconnaissance satellite, using synthetic aperture radar. It has the ability to see through cloud cover, and may possess the ability to see through soil.
"May" be able to see through soil
@@jayrod9979 I said may because my resource wasn’t definitive. It wouldn’t surprise me though, what with all the secrecy surrounding the satellite and its capabilities.
@@awesomemcawesomeshorts9531
I "may" or "may not" understand what you are saying ;)
@@jayrod9979 ah. I possibly understand
this man is just pure class
What a gift this story/interview is!
I never thought we would be able to actually be told this amount of details.
Thankfully Hoot it an AMAZING detailed and articulated storyteller.
He literally makes me feel and understand that every movement and action was of the up most importance.
And they were!
Thank you sir, Hoot, for yours and your crews service not only to the US but to the! 🌎❤
Hoot is a great pilot, and even a better stand up guy!
Need more astronaut stories. Cmdr. Chris Hadfield would be awesome
Met Hoot at Clover Field. The shenanigans back then were outrageous.! Mark L, Bruce B, etc and the letters from airport owner about aerobatics.... Man is a legend!
I wish I could give more thumbs up! This is not widely known, even among many shuttle fans.
👍🙏🙏
I had the privilege of flying once or twice in Hoot's backseat in the F-14, fun to fly with and a great pilot.
Wow!
Just a Fantastic, Shuttle Commander with the Right "Stuff" & professional Humbleness !!
Hoot is one of the legends of space
to think we all got along. Being former ground support for some of this stuff, this is pure gold to me. Thank you for this series. I mean it. As support we dont always get to see or appreciate the skills of the people in the mission itself. We know of them, but we never really get to hear how difficult this stuff really is or was. I had served in the program from just after Apollo Soyuz, Voyager flybys, STS 1 through to the last Shuttle flight safety stuff and so on. Its a thankless job. Your the only one who really see's what your doing is the neatest thing ever and you go home.
Look,Hoot is probably right behind Captain Crippen as my 2nd favorite shuttle astronaut but the way he says “we dont put weaponry in space” has me thinking we totally do have weaponry in space…..anyway great series here i enjoy hearing stories from all the shuttle astronauts
We don't put weapons in space... but we totally use any weapons we find up there!
There might be some anti satellite weapons up there but there isn’t much point in anything else. Spy sats, on the other hand, make a ton of sense.
Hoot and Crip?
What, no Massimino?
He has no idea. He was briefed on one mission 30 years ago.
Yes...... Man.......
Excellent little series thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Love Space flight exploration. A journey into Space.❤😊
These two video interviews had me riveted! If anything I was hurling through space on was likely to fail…I would want ‘Hoot’ to be the one to see us through!
Greatly appreciated! Thanks!🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it!
If this was a story in a comic book, these recollections would seem impossible. 😮
What an extraordinary gentleman.
Big "SALUTE" to you Mr. Gibson and your crews! You are blessed with an intelligence level most of us don't have. And you used it for your country. BRAVO! THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY!
He can tell beautiful stories in a very interesting way, I like his tone and his unpretentious narration. 👍
Had the pleasure of getting to know Steve Nagel after doing the annual on his 1946 Taylorcraft. Amazingly humble man. It seems to be a character trait of great pilots and astronauts, always giving credit to the rest of the crew no matter how invaluable they were to the mission. Teamwork at its finest.
My mom was good friends with Guy Gardner’s mom and I got to meet Guy and have lunch with him back in ‘98 in DC! What a cool guy and an amazing mission!
Let's give credit to Mustard for those great Buran cgi mockups. I love that channel!
Absolutely loved these interviews. Fascinating guy and career! Thank you
👍👍🙏
I could listen to this guy talk all day long... Great interview, and a fascintating set of stories. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Do not miss the other episodes on the channel and the upcoming ones as well
Boy would I like to have dinner with Mr. Gibson! I could listen to him talk for hours!
Same here. By the way, we have many more episodes coming!
Looking forward to them instead of a short 60 seconds on a national newscast or perhaps 3-5 minutes on say CNN your interviews are so much more enjoyable and educational. Happy Easter to you and all the subscribers.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Hoot at the airline that we both worked at. NIcest gentleman that you'd ever meet, and fascinating to chat with. One of our best, for sure.
Such a fantastic interview.
Thank you for your service to our country Hoot.
👍🙏
I was lucky enough to see STS71 launch, then some years after was fortunate enough to meet Hoot and discuss the mission with him. A brilliant pilot and astronaut but in addition a thoroughly nice man who like many other astronauts is prepared to spend time discussing and sharing his experiences.
I envy you!
Fascinating, wonderful interview. Thank you !
Thank you James
This astronaut and Atlantis Shuttle really are the ones to make true history be ever lasting
👍
I had the privilege of going to a dinner with an astronaut at each table at NASA (KSC). Hoot was the astronaut assigned to our table. He was fascinating! We asked him to tell us about his space shuttle missions, but he wanted to tell us about his experimental homebuilt aircraft. Later he got on stage and played guitar with his astronaut band. I hope to bump into him again someday.
👍👍👍
Wow this is an awesome interview. I've seen a couple with Hoot Gibson before. They were great, this is even better. I really like Hoot, and to hear these missions with such great detail. I want to hit repeat, so I make sure I didn't miss anything. Definitely hitting watch later also!!
Cool, thanks!
Dronescapes! I watch most of the documentaries you post, love what you do. I think I speak for many when I make this polite request: More spaceflight and astronaut documentaries! 🇺🇲🇨🇵🇬🇧🇩🇪🇯🇵🇷🇺
👍🙏
Great listening to this fella, take my hat off to him a skilled and brave man👍
👍🙏 do not miss the other episodes on the channel, including the upcoming ones 🙂
This gives me butterflies from the nostalgia for my country. Then
I'd like to hear more about the MIR experience.
This guy is cool! Thanks for the interview !
Note: the RMS he speaks of is the CanadaArm, just FYI.
Exceptional if not historic content! Thank you Hoot, for letting us participate!
You are welcome. More episodes are coming. Here is the playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLBI4gRjPKfnPZsK5m9hEalxr8GTyniBNf.html
Brilliant video, brilliant stories about this awesome adventure of space exploration. Thank you so much for explaining us all this !
You are welcome, and that you
I haven’t heard about that ASTP incident before. This was the first time.
What an amazing, humble man.
What another excellent interview! Hoot Gibson is a very, very interesting man. I could listen all day to his remembrances of being a Shuttle astronaut - as well as Naval Aviator.
Thanks for listening
Absolutely fascinating and riveting stuff! Thank you for posting this.
Our pleasure!
He a very soothing sounding voice, he would be good at story telling, maybe radio talk, maybe a literature teacher, acting.
Great interview
Ich könnte ihn denn ganzen Tag zuhören.😀
👍
Great interview 😎
🙏👍
Really great interview. The process he described for rendezvous and docking is pretty much the process I used in Kerbal Space Program game. Why change a tried and true thing? 😂
What a legend
Big storm moving through Murfreesboro TN. Stay safe, y'all.
On ASTP, I know Tom Stafford performed the docking maneuver when Apollo docked do the Docking Module when it was still nested in the S-IVB 2nd stage of the Saturn 1B. Deke Slayton, on the other hand, flew the initial docking between Apollo and Soyuz - the "heavy handed" docking that the Russians remember so well. I know one more docking maneuver between Apollo and Soyuz took place - after all of the crew visits were complete, but I was of the understanding that was performed by Alexi Leonov with the Soyuz. I could be mistaken, but I believe that what occurred.
Be sure to give credit to Mustard for his included bits, same with Hazegrayart
This is so rad. Thanks to you both for doing this. Don't always have much to add, but youtube's algorithm requires at least 5 word comments to get credit, which in turn helps this vid to be seen by others. I hate it, I really dislike google - it's un-American, but it's what we've got for now.
O
This man ended the cold war.
Hoot was my neighbor in Mira Mesa during his f14 time at Miramar. He is the real deal and a super nice person. Hope if he sees this we can meet up soon. George K
👍😎
1 word. Heroes.
👍
Hoot is right up there with Alan B shepard and Pete Conrad who were professionals obviously but were the class clowns of their astronaut classes. I was a submarine sailor and we were all clowns age we could be. And I’m sure Hoot was too. But when it’s balls to the wall all jokes wait till it’s over. Right Hoot?
What are the differences I don't know between docking the shuttle to Mir and air refueling? The obvious is you aren't getting bounced around by turbulence. I don't know how 17500 miles an hour would matter if you were both doing that. How accurate do you have to be with the boom compared to the docks? Closing speed difference? Controls are totally different of course but is one set easier than the other? What would I never think of?
Respekt.
TWA had a Hoot Gibson too.
17,500 miles an hour and have to line up within three inches! OMG!
Lap tops 20 years before citizens. Such a shame we live ina world we dont all get along.
Subbed on this video
🙏👍
29:39 what is the outro music ?
if anybody is wondering it was a lacrosse radar satellite they where bringing up.
interesting
I had to sign a 50 year NDA. I might have worked the bird. Funny , I got to sit into a brief kind of like it. I was an E6. So I never did that before. I sat at the table. The General asked me where do I think I should sit. I apologized and took a chair. 3 inches at Mach 5, hmm 😮
If only our presidents were as careful with classified material..
Im sure he was bummed when the declassified the payloads in 2008. But the whole, if i told you id have to kill you makes the story more interesting
It would be nice if Russian and Ukrainian people could be docking shuttles for MIR /Peace ✌️🕊️
And what did we get for our troubles?
Well….definitely not a fuckin metal. That’s for sure
I grew up around Edwards Air Force Base. I was in The Young Astronaut's program.
We were at Edwards because my biological father worked on Government Black Projects at Edwards Air Force Base and Groom Lake aka Area 51. I grew up in the Above Top Secret sector of the government. Our vehicles didn't have license plates and if we were pulled over that person loss their job.
I hear people talk about privilege over another. You haven't seen privilege until you grow up in the dark government projects.
I don't care, If I know it's top secret or above. I'll tell anyone who wants to listen.
Why? It's old technology and if the government wanted to do something about it. Then they would have to admit to what was said. Plus, people don't believe what I say anyways. I want people to open their minds. It's not some green skinned, big eyed visitor, but human technology.
It took him 8 minutes and 47 seconds to describe what top secret is.
Impressive.
Nowadays we have the Chinese pulling satellites in and out of orbit. They're doing all kinds of funky moves up there, and pretending to tell us its actually NOT them and we don't know what's going on. - Well, they've more satellites up there than there is space junk.
All this based on their paranoia.
Hilarious, here’s your medal, you can’t wear it, you can’t own it, and you can’t talk about it. So not really an award then. Lol. 😅
I’m not calling Hoot a liar but I’d be surprised if the US Government doesn’t have weapons in space.
Blah Blah Blah Blah ...Remember folks give a Hoot & don't pollute .
Nobody cares!
Perhaps you do not, nobody is a bit too wide and quite rude. I am sure you achieved great things in your life, but Hoot Gibson is hard to beat with his distinguished career. It's perfectly fine to have an opinion, a bit less to just be disrespectful
