I'm NASA Kennedy's Greg Harland and I'm

00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:06,799
outside kisi taking you inside KSC

3
00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:10,290
NASA SpaceX demo - mission initially

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:12,870
scheduled for Wednesday May 27th was

5
00:00:17,450 --> 00:00:14,730
scrubbed due to unfavorable weather

6
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:17,460
conditions the next launch opportunity

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:20,480
will be Saturday May 30th at 3:22 p.m.

8
00:00:26,089 --> 00:00:23,970
Eastern a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and

9
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,099
crew Dragon spacecraft will lift off

10
00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,800
from historic launch complex 39a at

11
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,960
Kennedy Space Center in Florida the

12
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:32,640
mission will carry NASA astronauts

13
00:00:37,010 --> 00:00:35,070
Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the

14
00:00:39,319 --> 00:00:37,020
International Space Station returning

15
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:39,329
human spaceflight capability to the US

16
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:42,719
after nearly a decade these parameters

17
00:00:48,290 --> 00:00:44,879
said ahead of time both the the NASA and

18
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:48,300
the SpaceX team knew exactly what the

19
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:50,420
parameters were those parameters were

20
00:00:55,430 --> 00:00:52,350
limitations I should say those

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:55,440
limitations were exceeded and and that

22
00:01:00,380 --> 00:00:58,010
put us in a position to delay the launch

23
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,390
crew Dragon will separate from the

24
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:02,640
Rockets second stage for its 19 hour

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:05,430
journey to the space station thankin and

26
00:01:09,649 --> 00:01:07,650
Hurley will join expedition 63

27
00:01:11,899 --> 00:01:09,659
crewmembers already on board and

28
00:01:13,609 --> 00:01:11,909
following their arrival will assist the

29
00:01:15,530 --> 00:01:13,619
crew by conducting research and

30
00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:15,540
supporting station operations and

31
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:17,759
maintenance the exact duration of the

32
00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:19,590
mission is still being determined and is

33
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:21,540
based largely on the readiness of the

34
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:23,970
next Commercial Crew launch part of

35
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:26,670
NASA's Commercial Crew program demo - is

36
00:01:31,399 --> 00:01:29,400
the final flight test for SpaceX teams

37
00:01:33,410 --> 00:01:31,409
with NASA and SpaceX we'll look at the

38
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:33,420
performance of the Falcon 9 rocket and

39
00:01:38,749 --> 00:01:36,390
crew Dragon spacecraft from launch to

40
00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:38,759
docking to splashdown in the Atlantic

41
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:41,100
Ocean as well as the ground systems that

42
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:43,290
support the launch the mission will

43
00:01:47,179 --> 00:01:44,970
provide critical data toward the

44
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:47,189
agency's certifying SpaceX's crew

45
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:49,770
transportation system for regular crewed

46
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:52,799
