This is a recording of a Space Shuttle crew and flight controller training session in the Shuttle Mission Simulator in Houston. The recording captured out-the-window views, the flight instrument display, and selected system & navigation displays in the Shuttle cockpit. In addition, all crew conversation, air-to-ground communication, and simulator sound effects were captured. Four displays are captured in a single video frame using picture-in-picture. The unique feature of these recordings is the capturing of all the in-cockpit conversation not transmitted to the ground. These recordings give a good idea of what went on in the Shuttle cockpit during busy phases of flight, when numerous off-nominal “malfunction” scenarios were being worked by the flight crew and Mission Control. The “Ascent #4” training session begins 20 seconds prior to liftoff and ends with the Orbiter on-orbit counting down to the deorbit burn on an Abort Once Around (AOA) abort. The four video windows display- (1) Top Left- left side out-the-window view (2) Top Right- flight instruments (3) Bottom Left- system and navigation displays selected by the crew (4) Bottom Right- system and navigation displays selected by the crew. In this session the team deals with an engine helium leak, a Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) shutdown, a manual External Tank separation, a failed Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and failure of both water cooling loops, necessitating extensive system power-downs to manage the heat load. An Abort Once Around is executed.
