ten hydrogen burnoff 8 00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:03,000 igniters initiate seven six five four 9 00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:04,680 stage engine start 10 00:01:11,929 --> 00:01:09,000 three two one booster's indignation 11 00:01:22,969 --> 00:01:11,939 and liftoff of Artemis one we rise 12 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,550 all four rs25 engines on the core stage 13 00:01:29,570 --> 00:01:27,119 and two solid rocket boosters now 14 00:02:19,850 --> 00:01:29,580 propelling the vehicle at 128 miles per 15 00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:36,729 foreign 16 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:41,750 traveling at 1 420 miles per hour 17 00:02:47,809 --> 00:02:43,680 the four core stage engines are back at 18 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,150 the next major Milestone will be for the 19 00:02:53,869 --> 00:02:52,080 solid rocket boosters to cut off and 20 00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:53,879 jettison in about two minutes and 11 21 00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,620 seconds into the flight so about 30 22 00:02:59,630 --> 00:02:57,840 seconds from now 23 00:03:01,850 --> 00:02:59,640 again quiet here in Mission Control 24 00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:01,860 Houston as teams continue monitoring the 25 00:03:06,350 --> 00:03:04,319 flight of Artemis won 26 00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:06,360 we're now 16 miles downrange from the 27 00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:07,680 launch pad at Kennedy Space Center 28 00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:17,270 standing by for solid rocket booster 29 00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:30,949 confirmation that the solid rocket 30 00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:33,840 boosters have separated these 177-foot 31 00:03:37,970 --> 00:03:36,120 boosters 32 00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:37,980 now the core stage continues to power 33 00:03:44,030 --> 00:03:40,860 the flight of Orion all Force rs-25 34 00:06:04,150 --> 00:03:44,040 engines firing traveling over 3 400 35 00:06:09,710 --> 00:06:06,770 and you're seeing there on your screen 36 00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:09,720 our first Earth views 37 00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:12,780 this view of Earth captured from a human 38 00:06:20,270 --> 00:06:17,100 rated spacecraft not seen since 1972 39 00:06:24,170 --> 00:06:20,280 during the final Apollo Mission some 50 40 00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:24,180 years ago the views of our Blue Marble 41 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:27,000 in the Blackness of space now capturing 42 00:06:45,070 --> 00:06:30,000 the imagination of a new generation the 43 00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:49,249 at 6 44 a.m Central just about 9 minutes 44 00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:51,840 and 30 seconds ago commands were sent 45 00:06:56,029 --> 00:06:54,300 for the outbound powered flyby burn to 46 00:06:57,950 --> 00:06:56,039 occur with the orbital maneuvering 47 00:07:00,590 --> 00:06:57,960 system engine or ohms engine on-board 48 00:07:02,809 --> 00:07:00,600 Orion which sends Orion close enough to 49 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:02,819 the lunar surface to leverage the moon's 50 00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:05,100 gravitational force and swing the 51 00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:07,560 spacecraft once around the Moon toward 52 00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:11,120 entry into distant retrograde orbit 53 00:07:16,010 --> 00:07:13,860 following this Orion will remain in the 54 00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:16,020 distant retrograde orbit for one half 55 00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:18,300 elliptical orbit around the Moon which 56 00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:43,010 now to distant retrograde orbit or Dro 57 00:07:48,409 --> 00:07:45,780 we're going to be about 38 000 miles 58 00:07:49,850 --> 00:07:48,419 away from the lunar surface as we orbit 59 00:07:52,010 --> 00:07:49,860 around that's part of why we're calling 60 00:07:54,770 --> 00:07:52,020 it distant and we call it retrograde 61 00:07:56,870 --> 00:07:54,780 because the moon orbiting the Earth in 62 00:07:58,510 --> 00:07:56,880 this direction and then we're entering 63 00:08:01,969 --> 00:07:58,520 into our orbit in this direction 64 00:08:04,189 --> 00:08:01,979 opposites retrograde now we're choosing 65 00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:04,199 this orbit because it's extremely stable 66 00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:06,479 it doesn't cost a lot of fuel to 67 00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:08,699 maintain your position there and that 68 00:08:12,890 --> 00:08:10,560 gives all of our Engineers our flight 69 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:12,900 controllers the chance to really learn 70 00:08:18,350 --> 00:08:15,840 about Orion systems in deep space learn 71 00:08:20,749 --> 00:08:18,360 about flying a spacecraft farther than 72 00:08:23,210 --> 00:08:20,759 we've ever sent one intended for humans 73 00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:23,220 we're going Beyond anywhere we ever went 74 00:08:28,730 --> 00:08:26,099 for Apollo and so we're in that orbit 75 00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:28,740 test out all of those systems eventually 76 00:10:58,269 --> 00:08:30,660 we'll do a maneuver to break out of that 77 00:11:04,970 --> 00:11:01,190 we're continuing to get some spectacular 78 00:11:08,050 --> 00:11:04,980 views from the Orion spacecraft 79 00:11:10,850 --> 00:11:08,060 from this view Orion is 80 00:11:13,610 --> 00:11:10,860 1277 miles above the lunar surface 81 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,620 following its return powered flyby burn 82 00:11:17,769 --> 00:11:15,839 which sent it around the back side of 83 00:11:24,769 --> 00:11:17,779 the moon 84 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:26,870 this view is from one of the solar array 85 00:11:34,670 --> 00:11:30,720 Wing or saw cameras on board the vehicle 86 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:34,680 the vehicle now over 1 680 miles away 87 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:42,050 and that small sliver towards the bottom 88 00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:44,640 of your screen that's here that's home 89 00:13:46,389 --> 00:11:47,279 that's us 90 00:13:52,430 --> 00:13:50,150 50 years ago today Apollo 17 Commander 91 00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:52,440 Gene cernan and lunar module pilot Jack 92 00:13:57,050 --> 00:13:54,959 Schmidt guided Challenger to a Pinpoint 93 00:13:59,870 --> 00:13:57,060 Landing on a Barren Rock strewn area of 94 00:14:02,090 --> 00:13:59,880 the Moon called Taurus litro a half 95 00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:02,100 century later NASA's newest moon 96 00:14:07,069 --> 00:14:05,040 Explorer the Orion spacecraft is 97 00:14:09,410 --> 00:14:07,079 barreling its way back home after 98 00:14:11,629 --> 00:14:09,420 circumnavigating the moon and Beyond in 99 00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:11,639 an elliptical distant retrograde orbit 100 00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:14,160 now less than two hours away from 101 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:16,920 splashing down in the Pacific Ocean West 102 00:14:21,949 --> 00:14:19,440 of Baja California to completed 103 00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:21,959 Shakedown mission that has opened a new 104 00:14:28,370 --> 00:14:25,500 era of deep space exploration 105 00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:28,380 Thank You Phillip but again a live view 106 00:14:35,930 --> 00:14:32,220 of Orion closing in on planet Earth now 107 00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:35,940 about 11 000 miles away from Earth 108 00:14:41,810 --> 00:14:39,180 as it continues a very very precise 109 00:14:44,569 --> 00:14:41,820 trajectory for a Splashdown that is 110 00:15:02,990 --> 00:14:44,579 scheduled at 11 39 and 42 seconds am 111 00:15:07,370 --> 00:15:05,030 now just one minute away from crew 112 00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:07,380 module service module separation 113 00:15:11,689 --> 00:15:09,420 we'll be standing by for confirmation of 114 00:15:24,250 --> 00:15:11,699 that from the 115 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:27,949 we have confirmation of separation 116 00:15:33,170 --> 00:15:30,720 Orion flying on its own 117 00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:33,180 again the separation occurred right on 118 00:15:38,689 --> 00:15:36,779 time at 11 A.M and 11 seconds Central 119 00:15:41,810 --> 00:15:38,699 Time 120 00:15:43,790 --> 00:15:41,820 with Orion 3200 statute miles away from 121 00:15:48,050 --> 00:15:43,800 Earth the European service module has 122 00:15:58,610 --> 00:15:49,790 just one minute away from entry 123 00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:01,269 and this view from the cabin camera 124 00:16:07,069 --> 00:16:04,260 looking out of the upper hatch of Orion 125 00:16:09,710 --> 00:16:07,079 you can see the limb of the Earth 126 00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:09,720 we're going to be losing all of the data 127 00:16:14,990 --> 00:16:13,440 here shortly once we enter into the 128 00:16:21,410 --> 00:16:15,000 Earth's atmosphere and begin the first 129 00:16:25,970 --> 00:16:23,769 again this is a 130 00:16:27,949 --> 00:16:25,980 visualization of what should be 131 00:16:30,009 --> 00:16:27,959 happening with Orion at the moment 132 00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:30,019 although we are in a blackout period 133 00:16:36,350 --> 00:16:32,639 that should end about three minutes and 134 00:16:44,329 --> 00:16:39,230 and we have data from Orion Orion out of 135 00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:47,150 flight Dynamics reports 136 00:16:51,710 --> 00:16:49,560 that Orion is right on the money coming 137 00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:51,720 right down the pike a good view out of 138 00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:52,980 the uh 139 00:17:06,850 --> 00:16:55,800 cabin camera looking out of the upper 140 00:17:14,569 --> 00:17:09,770 we should be performing the skip entry 141 00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:16,429 good Communications established with 142 00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:24,949 this view on the deck of the USS 143 00:17:45,650 --> 00:17:44,150 and there is a view out of the uh 144 00:17:48,049 --> 00:17:45,660 cabin camera 145 00:17:49,970 --> 00:17:48,059 of Orion as it continues a series of 146 00:17:52,909 --> 00:17:49,980 role reversals we have data back from 147 00:17:58,850 --> 00:17:56,690 flight Dynamics reports Orion straight 148 00:18:00,650 --> 00:17:58,860 and narrow on a true course toward its 149 00:18:02,810 --> 00:18:00,660 Splashdown site 150 00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:02,820 forward Bay covered jettisoning less 151 00:18:09,679 --> 00:18:24,710 150 000 feet off the ocean 152 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:30,710 Orion now traveling at Mach 10. 153 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:45,770 Orion now at 50 000 feet 154 00:19:15,650 --> 00:18:48,230 forward big covered jettisoning pyros 155 00:19:15,660 --> 00:19:24,850 25 000 feet 156 00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:54,350 trogues have been deployed 157 00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:57,350 two good drug shoots reported by the 158 00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:04,789 the decent rate is right on the money 159 00:20:11,690 --> 00:20:08,880 Orion's velocity now down to 282 miles 160 00:20:15,049 --> 00:20:11,700 an hour range to splash down one and a 161 00:20:15,059 --> 00:20:35,950 ten thousand feet now 162 00:20:46,070 --> 00:20:39,770 and we're on mains 163 00:20:46,080 --> 00:21:01,430 reefing in progress 164 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:12,289 three good main shoots for Orion 165 00:21:22,490 --> 00:21:16,490 we have three fully inflated main shoots 166 00:21:22,500 --> 00:22:01,669 perfect descent rate reported 167 00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:04,549 and there it is high over the Pacific 168 00:22:10,190 --> 00:22:06,900 America's new Ticket to Ride To the Moon 169 00:22:29,029 --> 00:22:12,649 Orion under its shoots descending 170 00:22:43,130 --> 00:22:31,190 Orion in the perfect orientation for 171 00:22:43,140 --> 00:22:56,690 one thousand feet 172 00:22:56,700 --> 00:23:11,770 good decent rate 173 00:23:11,780 --> 00:23:29,029 500 feet 174 00:23:35,149 -->
