--> 00:02:14,560 view from the international space 6 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,360 station at spacex's dragon resupply 7 00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:19,680 spacecraft connected to the station's 8 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,400 canada arm 2 and position positioned 9 00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:24,160 just outside the station's harmony 10 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:27,280 module where it will be birthed shortly 11 00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,160 this spacecraft which is carrying 5 500 12 00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:32,000 pounds of crew supplies hardware 13 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,280 research and more is rounding out its 14 00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:37,200 two day journey to the space station 15 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:39,360 where it will remain for about a month 16 00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:46,229 we are live from the international space 17 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,400 station flight control room at johnson 18 00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:50,720 space center in houston texas where 19 00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:52,480 flight controllers are switching between 20 00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,879 the orbit one and two shifts 21 00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,720 these teams monitor all of the systems 22 00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,480 aboard the station and they're currently 23 00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:00,959 controlling the canadarm2 to bring the 24 00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:05,280 dragon spacecraft up to the station 25 00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:06,879 leading teams this morning is flight 26 00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:12,869 seated in the white shirt to his right 27 00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:15,360 is capcom or capsule communicator travis 28 00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,920 fitzgerald who is relaying information 29 00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:19,840 from the ground to the astronauts aboard 30 00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:25,110 this morning's visiting vehicle officer 31 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:27,040 is david harshman he's in communication 32 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:28,720 with the spacex team in hawthorne 33 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:31,440 california keeping tabs on dragon with 34 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,920 information from both teams and robotics 35 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:36,159 controller is jared olson and his team 36 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:37,920 is controlling the candid arm 2 for 37 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:47,589 you can see that dragon is positioned 38 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,519 close outside the international space 39 00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,519 station's harmony module and the common 40 00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:53,280 berthing mechanism 41 00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:54,879 and over the next several minutes we'll 42 00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,120 see dragon move slowly in through the 43 00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,599 use of that candid arm 2 until it is 44 00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:01,519 attached and secured to the station 45 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:03,280 through a series of 46 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:05,120 locks and bolts 47 00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,319 and it will remain there for 48 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,239 approximately a month as the crew 49 00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:10,640 unloads the research and supplies on 50 00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:12,879 board before reloading it 51 00:05:11,510 --> 00:04:14,879 and sending it back to earth for a safe 52 00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:13,430 dragon was captured this morning by 53 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:15,919 canadian space agency astronaut david 54 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:18,160 saint jock and backed up by nasa's nick 55 00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,320 hague who took their place in the cupola 56 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,720 module and used the canada arm 2 as you 57 00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:25,039 can see in this time lapse to reach out 58 00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:27,199 and grapple the spacecraft when it was 59 00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:28,880 about 30 feet away from the 60 00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:31,199 international space station 61 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,199 the astronauts then turned the controls 62 00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,280 back over to teams on the ground here in 63 00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:37,280 mission control and they're now using 64 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:39,199 the canadarm2 to reposition the 65 00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:40,960 spacecraft and bring it into the 66 00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:51,430 the international space station is 67 00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:54,000 currently traveling over 17 thousand 68 00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:56,280 miles an hour and flying 69 00:06:04,309 --> 00:05:59,120 261 statute miles above the south 70 00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:05,990 throughout our coverage we'll see the 71 00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:08,400 space station vary from light to 72 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,840 darkness as it crosses over into the 73 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:14,160 night side of the earth 74 00:06:18,790 --> 00:06:16,560 as the station rotates about as the 75 00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:18,800 station orbits the earth about every 90 76 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,629 my 77 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,790 the crew on board the station is will be 78 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:54,880 preparing for their midday meal coming 79 00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:55,680 up 80 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,759 and they have been informed to not 81 00:07:02,230 --> 00:06:59,680 exercise any longer 82 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:02,240 as any exercise might cause vibrations 83 00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:03,919 that would disturb the placement of the 84 00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,270 as you can see we're in a short 85 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:49,199 satellite handover period right now 86 00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:50,800 which occurs from time to time on the 87 00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:52,720 international space station 88 00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,879 the data and communications including 89 00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:56,720 some of the visuals from the station 90 00:08:00,309 --> 00:07:58,160 come through a series of satellites 91 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,319 called tdrs which is the tracking data 92 00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:02,800 and relay satellite system 93 00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:05,120 these losses of communication are 94 00:08:31,749 --> 00:08:07,280 tracked by the teams 95 00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:33,430 dragon began its journey to the 96 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:35,760 international space station on saturday 97 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:39,120 may the 4th at 1 48 a.m central time 98 00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:41,279 when it lifted off from nasa's kennedy 99 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:43,680 space center cape canaveral air force 100 00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:45,760 station in florida 101 00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:48,080 it was the second launch attempt for 102 00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:51,279 dragon the night before having postponed 103 00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:59,910 and about 12 minutes after dragon's 104 00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:01,200 launch 105 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:02,640 solar arrays 106 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:05,120 unfurled and began collecting good power 107 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:07,279 propelling it for its next two-day 108 00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,040 journey to the international space 109 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:11,360 station where you see it now outside of 110 00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:17,269 this is spacex's 17th commercial 111 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,120 resupply mission to the international 112 00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:21,279 space station but it's a welcome back 113 00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,120 for this dragon capsule which has 114 00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:25,040 visited the station before 115 00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:52,790 you may be able to see that dragon is 116 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:55,040 slowly moving in towards the harmony 117 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,000 module 118 00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:57,920 teams here on the ground 119 00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:00,560 send commands to control the robotic arm 120 00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:02,079 and it will move in very small 121 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:03,839 increments as the teams perform 122 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,550 as we mentioned dragon will be attached 123 00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:17,440 with a series of latches and bolts 124 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:19,440 the first of those is the series of 125 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:21,519 latches and to us it will look like 126 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:23,839 dragon is attached to the station once 127 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:25,680 those are have secured the vehicle but 128 00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:28,160 birthing itself will be confirmed after 129 00:11:16,949 --> 00:10:30,800 the additional 16 bolts have created an 130 00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,470 once dragon is attached to the 131 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:20,720 international space station crews will 132 00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:23,120 begin accessing the cargo later today 133 00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:25,680 and tomorrow and will continue unloading 134 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:27,440 the spacecraft over the next several 135 00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:29,760 weeks before reloading it with about 136 00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:31,680 four thousand two hundred pounds of 137 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:33,920 research hardware and crew supplies to 138 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:50,550 however before opening those hatches 139 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:54,000 later today dragon will be outfitted in 140 00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:56,240 the area known as the vestibule which is 141 00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:59,040 the space between dragon and the station 142 00:12:03,509 --> 00:12:00,880 and that'll prepare the crews to open 143 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:03,519 the hatch there are two hatches and the 144 00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:05,040 crew will need to open those to access 145 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:06,480 the contents there's a hatch on the 146 00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:08,480 station side and a hatch on dragon 147 00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:15,190 as you can see the arm is now in a hold 148 00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,880 position 149 00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:19,200 this allows the teams on the ground to 150 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:21,760 make their final alignment checks 151 00:14:01,269 --> 00:12:23,680 preparing for the spacecraft to be 152 00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:03,110 the first stage of capture for or 153 00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:06,320 birthing for dragon is called rtl ready 154 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:08,560 to latch and teams on the ground are now 155 00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,760 preparing for that those four latches 156 00:15:18,069 --> 00:14:13,519 once dragon is connected to the space 157 00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:20,230 dragon moving even slower 158 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:22,959 into its birthing position 159 00:16:13,670 --> 00:15:25,199 where those four latches will first 160 00:17:13,590 --> 00:16:15,189 those latches are now beginning to 161 00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:15,510 all four of those latches have been 162 00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:17,280 attached 163 00:18:42,789 --> 00:17:19,520 that's the first stage capture 164 00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:44,789 the dragon spacecraft you see outside 165 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:47,120 the station's harmony module today 166 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:49,760 arrives with around 5 500 pounds of 167 00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:52,799 total cargo about 3 300 pounds of that 168 00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:55,679 is pressurized while another 2100 is 169 00:19:01,990 --> 00:18:58,160 unpressurized 170 00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:02,000 and about 1 600 pounds of the cargo the 171 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:04,240 bulk of the pressurized cargo is 172 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:06,480 actually science investigations there's 173 00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:07,520 always 174 00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:08,960 science going on on the international 175 00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:10,960 space station it is our orbiting 176 00:19:35,029 --> 00:19:33,430 dragon may look like it is attached to 177 00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:35,039 the international space station and 178 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,640 while we do have that first stage 179 00:19:40,230 --> 00:19:38,400 capture we'll be looking for second 180 00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:40,240 stage capture to occur and that's the 181 00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:43,440 driving of 16 bolts to firmly attach 182 00:21:06,310 --> 00:19:45,120 dragon to the international space 183 00:21:09,990 --> 00:21:08,149 the canada arm is now 184 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:10,000 limp which sets it up for the second 185 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:12,000 stage capture to begin shortly that's 186 00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:14,640 that driving of 16 bolts to secure 187 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:16,400 dragon to the international space 188 00:21:59,190 --> 00:21:57,110 as you can see the station is now in an 189 00:22:01,190 --> 00:21:59,200 orbital night time having recently 190 00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:01,200 crossed the terminator line that's the 191 00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:03,360 line between daylight and night time as 192 00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:05,840 the station orbits the earth at over 17 193 00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:08,000 000 miles an hour 194 00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:10,159 it's currently over the indian ocean and 195 00:24:19,909 --> 00:22:12,480 will be coming up to cross australia 196 00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:22,390 upon its arrival today spacex's dragon 197 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:24,480 is the sixth vehicle parked at the space 198 00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:26,960 station right now it joins two soyuz 199 00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:29,279 spacecraft two russian progress resupply 200 00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:31,440 crafts and northrop grumman's cygnus 201 00:25:01,909 --> 00:25:00,149 you can see the configuration of those 202 00:27:19,830 --> 00:25:01,919 spacecraft on the international space 203 00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:20,789 we've been looking forward to the 204 00:27:24,230 --> 00:27:22,720 arrival of dragon and we're expecting it 205 00:27:26,789 --> 00:27:24,240 a little bit earlier 206 00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:26,799 but on april 29th teams identified an 207 00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:28,720 issue with the main bus switching unit 208 00:27:31,909 --> 00:27:30,159 that's a 209 00:27:33,669 --> 00:27:31,919 distributes power to two of the eight 210 00:27:35,750 -->
