86board the Shuttle, satellites on- board the mission, materialsprocessing, and technological advances.Discussion:After reading the above scenario, watch the video once more,starting with the set up planning video by Christa, Barbara Morgan,and Astronaut Mike Smith. Note the camera is mounted on a tripod.[This is a video camera, not the film camera to have been employedfor the six lost lessons. The motion picture camera was called theAiriflex and is shown below being examined by Christa and Barbara.The video camera used in the ground practice is shown in the belowright photo. While the film camera seems quite cumbersomecompared to the video counterpart, in zero-g the Airiflex mass wouldbe quite manageable.]
87Concerning the tripod, Pilot Mike Smith talks in the video of“coming down from the flight deck to help set up the camera.” Thisindicates the tripod would have been used as the camera’spermanent mount for the live lesson, otherwise, it would have floatedrandomly about.Because the live lesson camera, unlike that to be used for thesix lost lessons, was a video type, it would have broadcast atelevision signal via the Public Broadcasting System, an educationaltelevision network seen throughout the United States.Christa’s second live lesson practice begins in the mid-deckarea. In preparation for the scene, Christa asks Judy Resnik, who iscontrolling the camera, to zoom in for the best view of the scene.What Judy views is seen on her monitor displayed at the cameracontrol station.After some planning, the practice begins with the words,“Challenger, (This is)…Houston. We have good video. We’re readyfor your lesson. Go ahead Christa.” And Christa begins with,”We’ve come a long way from the Wright Brothers’ plane to theShuttle.” (Christa pretends to hold up a model of the WrightBrothers’ plane for the TV camera then she brings an imaginarymodel of the space station in view.)In order to more carefully analyze the second live lesson, aportion of Bob Mayfield’s description is repeated below along withthe editor’s comments in brackets […].“Several demonstrations will be conducted to illustrate thebehavior of materials in microgravity. A sphere of orange juice willbe formed carefully from a drink container. The fact that liquids formperfect spheres in space is useful in forming mono-disperse latexbeads, for instance, which can be used by the Bureau of Standards.Mixing of molecules of different substances will be illustrated usingmarshmallows and chocolate candies in a plastic bag. [This is whatChrista is alluding to in the bag of cotton balls chosen to replicatethe marshmallows.]Mixing of liquids of differing densities will be demonstratedusing salad oil and colored water sealed in lexan bottles.
