00:00:01,030 --> 00:00:06,819
Patrick Moore, ULA flight commentator: And
standing by for spacecraft sep shortly.

2
00:00:06,819 --> 00:00:09,480
And we have good indication of separation
of the ICESat-2 spacecraft.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,830
NASA launch commentator Josh Santora: Awesome,
that is great.

4
00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:13,720
That’s what we want to see.

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,530
That motion that you see on your screen is
the spacecraft drifting away from the second

6
00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:19,530
stage.

7
00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:20,530
So that looks good.

8
00:00:20,530 --> 00:00:24,260
Obviously, we’ll get full reports later,
but definitely like a lot of people breathing

9
00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:26,850
another sigh of relief; there are several
of those that happened today.

10
00:00:26,850 --> 00:00:29,510
Mic Woltman, NASA engineer: It’s just another
milestone.

11
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:31,710
We still have a little bit more to go.

12
00:00:31,710 --> 00:00:35,899
And, like we said, verify that the solar panels
are out, and get that state of health.

13
00:00:35,899 --> 00:00:41,380
As you had mentioned earlier, they want to
get into that light — 24-hour light — and

14
00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:42,380
be ready to go.

15
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:43,899
So, we’re waiting to see that.

16
00:00:43,899 --> 00:00:48,590
We see the teams at the Remote Launch Control
Center, NASA’s Launch Manager Tim Dunn and

17
00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:51,960
his team celebrating the separation of ICESat-2
there.
