T minus one minute. Engine start box go. Rock report, range status. Range green. 50 seconds. 45. Everything is go. Main power off. Main power off. 40. Upper stage LH2's secure flight level. 35. 30. Status check. Go Delta. Go Orion. Rainboard. 25. Flight lock in. T minus 20 seconds. 15. Roof ignition. 10. Nighters have been lit. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. And lift off. At dawn. The dawn of Orion. In a new era of American space exploration. Good engine control on the first stage. Passing 25 seconds. The last is E-1341. E-3 seconds. Passing 31 seconds still looking good. Good engine control. Good chamber pressure and all three posters in the full power mode. 40 seconds in. Standing by to go to the partial thrust boat in the pour. Do we have partial thrust command in the pour? Or chamber pressure for getting the drop as expected? As we're coming up of the one minute mark. Mark, one minute in the flight. Still looking good. Chamber pressure in the pour. Goosier in the partial thrust boat. Good chamber pressure and four starbursts in full power mode. One minute, 15 seconds in the flight. We have the hydrazine supply valve open in the second stage. One minute, 22 seconds in. Max2, maximum dynamic pressure on the vehicle. Passing 124 Mach1. Orion in Delta 4 now transcending the speed of sound. One minute, 31 seconds in. Good engine control on the first stage. Coming up one minute, 40 seconds. Lastly now, 1341 feet per second. One minute, 50 seconds in. Still looking good. Coming up on two rights. Two minutes into the floor. Good engine control on the first stage. Forten starburst boosters. Still a good chamber pressure in the full power mode. And good core chamber pressure in the partial thrust mode. At two minutes, 22 seconds in. Two minutes, 35 seconds in. Still looking good. Coming up on the two minute, 43 second mark. Mark, two minutes, 43 seconds. The Delta 4 of heavy vodka. Now, Jones weighs one half as much as it did at launch. Running for power of the rate of 4,744 pounds per second. Three minutes, one second into the flight. Still looking good. Passing Mach 5. Three minutes, 16 seconds in. Good engine control. Less than one half minute remains on three booster flights. Three minutes, 30 seconds in. We're standing by for the command to go to the partial thrust mode in the port and starboard booster. That command should occur about 10 seconds in. And we have partial thrust command. Port and starboard to be toggling down to the partial thrust mode. Standing by for main engine cutoff, we have cutoff in the point starboard and separation. A good separation of the port and starboard boosters. thrust mode. And the Vagramanian gun cutoff, we have cutoff in the port and starboard and separation. A good separation of the port and starboard boosters. For boosters now powering up to the full power mode, four minutes, ten seconds in the flight. Good chamber pressure in the port. A correction with the chamber pressure in the core booster. At four minutes, eighteen seconds in. Four minutes, twenty-five seconds in. Still looking good. Good engine control in the core. About one minute remaining on first stage flight. Four minutes, forty-six seconds in. Still looking good. Chamber pressure holding it very well in a core booster. As we're approaching the five minute mark. Five minutes into the flight. Standing by to go to the partial thrust command that partial thrust command about fifteen seconds from now. Good engine control. A minute twenty seconds in. And we have partial thrust command in the core. Quarching, the pressure beginning to go down. As expected, standing by from Miko. We have Miko. The main engine has cutoff. Standing by for stage separation. We have stage separation. As is deploying, the nozzle has been expending. Standing by for igniter spark. And we have igniter spark. And we have ignition ignition on the second stage. Second stage chamber pressure beginning to rise. This is Mission Control Houston. We're taking over commentary at this point as we come up on the first two critical Orion program milestones. These service module, fairing panel, jettison and the launch abort system jettison. Standing by for those first two critical events. The service panel jettison has occurred. The 313 by 14 foot panels have separated. And we have launch abort system jettison. The 361 pound solid propellant motor has pulled the launch abort system free from the upper stage and up from Orion. Everything going extremely well. The first two critical milestones have been accomplished. And we are now processing telemetry from the Orion spacecraft through the tracking and data relay satellite system. Coming up on the seven minute mark into the mission. Orion and the Delta 4 upper stage now 127 miles an altitude. Some 700 miles down range from the Cape Canaveral Air Force station. Reports here in Mission Control indicate that Orion's guidance systems are up and running in good shape. This view once again of the service module, fairing panel jettison that occurred just about a minute and a half ago. We are now coming up on the eight minute mark into the flight. Orion and the Delta 4 upper stage 142 statute miles an altitude. Almost 900 miles down range from the Kennedy Space Center. GPS systems on Orion have come into full agreement with navigation systems on the spacecraft. Orion is functioning perfectly at this point. Orion heading almost dewy from the Kennedy Space Center in an orbit inclined just about 28.4 degrees to either side of the equator. Eight and a half minutes into the flight. The upper stage is currently traveling and carrying Orion to its preliminary orbit. Now traveling at a velocity of almost 14,000 miles an hour, its altitude flattening out. The upper stage ignition will continue for about 11 minutes and 30 seconds from the time it began with Seaco 1 or a second stage cutoff number 1, just about 8.5 minutes from now. And this is our first view from cameras on the Orion spacecraft streaming video that is coming down being processed through the tracking of data relay satellite system, showing a view of the Earth as Orion is being carried to its preliminary orbit. All of its systems operating in excellent condition on this first test flight of America's newest spacecraft.
