It's really kind of a challenge to keep coordinated with the two station crews that we'll be interacting with. And of course one of them launched quite some time before our mission. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We're on the same radius from the Earth, and then we start to swing around to where we're ahead of them on the velocity vector, so we come in relative to the station from this forward velocity position and dock… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We didn't use the shuttle robot arm before, so this has been a training flow to get ready for that. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
The training comes to us with the benefit of what has gone before. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
I did grow up with a really big interest in math and science; I liked it. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
Our shuttle crew is four people, because we're going to transfer a crew up to station, so all the jobs are divided between four… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
It definitely helps to have been through the arm training flow before and to have used the arm on orbit, and it also gives… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We launch when we're kind of in the same orbit that they are in terms of being matched up in inclination in space, and… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
As always, we prepare for all sorts of contingencies. And the first few days of the flight up until docking on Day 3 are… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
A lot of these things will fly in later forms on the space station themselves, or a later form of that research will, once… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image

UF is Utilization Flight. That got put in the manifest quite some time ago. — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
We still have a lot of international partner modules that need to get up there to make it truly the international structure that it… — Linda M. Godwin Copy Share Image
