SpaceX 26 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:05,880 SpaceX six the Dragon will be carrying 27 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:08,130 about two thousand kilograms of total 28 00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:11,130 pressurized cargo mass for us about 85 29 00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:13,080 or eight hundred fifty kilograms so that 30 00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:15,960 will be for our research work that will 31 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:19,320 be doing over the next 35 36 days that 32 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:21,450 we have the the birth mission attached 33 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,450 to the station the rest is cargos cargo 34 00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:26,880 resupplies and maintenance gear that we 35 00:01:31,609 --> 00:01:29,060 need to keep and maintain the station 36 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:31,619 and then on return will be bringing back 37 00:01:39,649 --> 00:01:36,890 about 500 kilograms of research so a big 38 00:01:41,450 --> 00:01:39,659 pressurized research mission force and I 39 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:41,460 know you've heard some some additional 40 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:43,530 information on the research that will be 41 00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:47,250 doing in the in the previous panels with 42 00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:49,350 the launch tomorrow Samantha will 43 00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:51,030 capture dragon around six a.m. on 44 00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:53,729 wednesday the hatch will be open the 45 00:01:59,630 --> 00:01:55,860 following day and like I said we 46 00:02:02,959 --> 00:01:59,640 anticipate 35 36 day mission with a nun 47 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:02,969 birthing and return on mate 21st so a 48 00:02:07,819 --> 00:02:05,130 lot of work for the crew to do on board 49 00:02:09,229 --> 00:02:07,829 the ISS during this time period as far 50 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:09,239 as station we've done the pre-launch 51 00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:11,280 check out of the SS RMS and our vehicle 52 00:02:15,070 --> 00:02:12,620 systems 53 00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:15,080 we performed we had our I mmt mission 54 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:18,110 management team on Thursday and we're 55 00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:20,330 not working any outstanding issues on 56 00:02:25,839 --> 00:02:22,819 the space station so so we're ready to 57 00:02:28,449 --> 00:02:25,849 go capture and and bring it into the 58 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,459 node to nadir port I was talking to Hans 59 00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:30,400 just a little bit ago the lake cargo 60 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:33,769 processing that will do is underway it's 61 00:02:37,899 --> 00:02:35,930 it's still in our hands will be turning 62 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:37,909 that over to SpaceX for loading into the 63 00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:40,370 dragon within the next hour and then 64 00:02:44,050 --> 00:02:41,629 they'll proceed with that on to the 65 00:02:47,259 --> 00:02:44,060 launch so so far everything is going 66 00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:47,269 very very smoothly there as far as the 67 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:48,700 gear that we're getting ready to go fly 68 00:02:52,930 --> 00:02:50,810 part of the cargo that's going up as 69 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:52,940 well as in support of our ISS 70 00:02:56,979 --> 00:02:54,650 reconfiguration that we've talked about 71 00:03:00,160 --> 00:02:56,989 in the past this is where we're trying 72 00:03:02,050 --> 00:03:00,170 to put to docking ports on the 73 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:02,060 International Space Station one on node 74 00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:05,450 to forward and one on no tues EF we had 75 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:07,400 three very successful EV a's in the 76 00:03:11,649 --> 00:03:09,769 februari March time period that laid all 77 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:11,659 the cable out on the trust put up some 78 00:03:16,870 --> 00:03:14,690 antennas laid wire to the to the node to 79 00:03:18,580 --> 00:03:16,880 forward port in support of the 80 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:18,590 international docking adaptor which will 81 00:03:23,140 --> 00:03:20,930 come up on SpaceX seven so when that 82 00:03:25,839 --> 00:03:23,150 comes up on SpaceX seven the space 83 00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:25,849 station is ready to receive it today and 84 00:03:30,970 --> 00:03:28,940 so no further ebas or wiring needs to be 85 00:03:34,809 --> 00:03:30,980 done to accommodate the docking port so 86 00:03:36,729 --> 00:03:34,819 that's that's a great great three ebas 87 00:03:38,770 --> 00:03:36,739 that set us up into that position I 88 00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:38,780 mentioned that we'd laid the wires and 89 00:03:43,629 --> 00:03:40,760 in the antennas on the outside of the 90 00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:43,639 trusses p3 and s3 our communication 91 00:03:47,289 --> 00:03:45,470 boxes that actually talk to the antennas 92 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:47,299 will be come up later this year and 93 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:49,040 we'll install those into the lab and 94 00:03:53,379 --> 00:03:51,049 we're still on track by the end of the 95 00:03:55,689 --> 00:03:53,389 year to be able to support or have the 96 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:55,699 check are the systems on board to allow 97 00:03:59,289 --> 00:03:57,410 docking of one of the Commercial Crew 98 00:04:01,349 --> 00:03:59,299 vehicles and so we want to make sure we 99 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:01,359 get that done ahead of us we can do 100 00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:04,370 troubleshoot any issues we may find and 101 00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:06,680 in efforts to be ready for when they're 102 00:04:12,569 --> 00:04:09,260 ready so that would be great our 103 00:04:15,610 --> 00:04:12,579 consumables on board are in good shape 104 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:15,620 you know we took a hit in the last 105 00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:17,690 October time period and we're still 106 00:04:22,570 --> 00:04:20,510 catching up you know we're around for 107 00:04:25,060 --> 00:04:22,580 four and a half months of consumables 108 00:04:28,570 --> 00:04:25,070 for food and water of those 109 00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:28,580 nature we like to maintain six and so by 110 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:31,520 the end of say November we hope to be 111 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:34,130 back up to that that six-month reserve 112 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:36,560 level that we can that we just like to 113 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:40,130 accommodate on the ISS the one-year crew 114 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:43,130 Scott and Mikhail there in full swing 115 00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:44,810 they've settled into the space station 116 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:47,840 they began their their one-year science 117 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:51,050 missions that that will take them for 118 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:54,110 you know the long journey you know and 119 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,520 the rest of the crew they're doing great 120 00:05:01,810 --> 00:04:58,160 they're very very excited getting SpaceX 121 00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:01,820 six up here tomorrow additional Cup 122 00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:04,070 upcoming vehicle traffic to the station 123 00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:05,870 it's been very very it will be very very 124 00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:07,750 busy for us over the next few months 125 00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:10,070 with SpaceX six and then we have 126 00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:12,800 progress 59 that will arrive in in late 127 00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:15,500 April April twenty-eighth we have 41 s 128 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:17,870 undocks on May thirteenth with 43 s 129 00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:20,810 launch on mate 27th we have another 130 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:23,270 space x 7 launch in the middle of June 131 00:05:28,690 --> 00:05:25,730 June nineteenth but when working with 132 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:28,700 our Japanese counterparts on trying to 133 00:05:34,750 --> 00:05:31,280 nail down when the next HTV mission will 134 00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:34,760 be HTV five right now it is August 135 00:05:39,010 --> 00:05:36,200 eighteenth and that looks like it's 136 00:05:41,950 --> 00:05:39,020 holding pretty firm another SpaceX 137 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:41,960 launch in mid-september and then we'll 138 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:44,570 get back with our orbital flights out of 139 00:05:49,870 --> 00:05:47,450 KSC and the November time period so 140 00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:49,880 we're staying extremely busy and look 141 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:52,790 forward to the to the launch tomorrow if 142 00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:55,250 we have a weather or any kind of issue 143 00:05:59,620 --> 00:05:56,960 tomorrow we do have the backup date on 144 00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,630 the 14th any backup days behind that we 145 00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:01,520 were going to have to go back and work 146 00:06:05,470 --> 00:06:02,840 with not only our science community 147 00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:05,480 space X in the range and so will work 148 00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:08,000 those after we if we find out what's 149 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:09,880 going on or if we have an issue tomorrow 150 00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:12,610 and with that I'll turn it over to Hans 151 00:06:18,130 --> 00:06:16,160 thank you I'd like actually before I 152 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:18,140 forget it to thank NASA for the 153 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:20,330 opportunity to to deliver cargo to the 154 00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:22,730 ISS this is the midterm mission actually 155 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:24,980 actually after that mission is new term 156 00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:28,130 right but it's been a great program and 157 00:06:33,150 --> 00:06:30,020 I really enjoyed it very much space 158 00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:33,160 access is really proud to serve the ISS 159 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:36,110 also like to thank the 45 space being 160 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:38,570 and the FAA certifying and supporting 161 00:06:41,529 --> 00:06:38,969 the launch 162 00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:41,539 all the time and then I thought I 163 00:06:47,089 --> 00:06:44,449 continue with the least important part 164 00:06:49,299 --> 00:06:47,099 and just want to tell you that we're 165 00:06:53,149 --> 00:06:49,309 trying to lend on the autonomous 166 00:06:56,719 --> 00:06:53,159 spaceship which has been named just read 167 00:06:59,139 --> 00:06:56,729 the instructions I'm going to go a 168 00:07:01,639 --> 00:06:59,149 little bit into detail how we do this 169 00:07:02,809 --> 00:07:01,649 basically what happens is the end again 170 00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:02,819 this is the least important one I'm 171 00:07:06,769 --> 00:07:03,599 going to follow up with the most 172 00:07:08,209 --> 00:07:06,779 important one after that after the 173 00:07:12,049 --> 00:07:08,219 estate separation we're going to flip 174 00:07:14,119 --> 00:07:12,059 the stage around 180 degrees you're 175 00:07:17,539 --> 00:07:14,129 gonna perform a so-called boots back 176 00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:17,549 burn that boots backbone will keep the 177 00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:19,529 first stage from falling too far it 178 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:21,929 keeps it a little bit closer and 179 00:07:30,109 --> 00:07:27,209 basically will target the the drone ship 180 00:07:32,979 --> 00:07:30,119 and then after the boost backbone which 181 00:07:35,449 --> 00:07:32,989 lasts about about half a minute roughly 182 00:07:38,269 --> 00:07:35,459 we're going to have another shutdown and 183 00:07:39,979 --> 00:07:38,279 we deploy the fins these good friends 184 00:07:41,629 --> 00:07:39,989 that you can see on the vehicle they 185 00:07:42,979 --> 00:07:41,639 folded in right now they're folded 186 00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:42,989 during ascent and then I come out after 187 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:46,110 the bus back burn after that we will 188 00:07:50,709 --> 00:07:49,050 cost we will reach about 125 kilometers 189 00:07:53,299 --> 00:07:50,719 and then come back into the atmosphere 190 00:07:56,239 --> 00:07:53,309 that's the time when we do in entry burn 191 00:07:58,009 --> 00:07:56,249 the entry burn is literally tapping the 192 00:08:00,679 --> 00:07:58,019 brake a little bit so it doesn't get too 193 00:08:03,709 --> 00:08:00,689 hot during the entry that entry burn is 194 00:08:05,989 --> 00:08:03,719 it's fairly sure that's about 10-15 195 00:08:08,269 --> 00:08:05,999 seconds and it happens about seven 196 00:08:10,009 --> 00:08:08,279 minutes into the flight and then as the 197 00:08:12,350 --> 00:08:10,019 stage comes further down it decelerates 198 00:08:14,719 --> 00:08:12,360 through the reentry there's going to be 199 00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:14,729 a landing burn that learning burn is on 200 00:08:20,419 --> 00:08:16,889 a on this on the single last engine 201 00:08:22,999 --> 00:08:20,429 basically then and halfway to the 202 00:08:24,949 --> 00:08:23,009 landing burn you see the well I'm not 203 00:08:27,559 --> 00:08:24,959 sure you see it but the landing legs 204 00:08:30,019 --> 00:08:27,569 will deploy shortly thereafter we will 205 00:08:34,069 --> 00:08:30,029 touch down on just read the instructions 206 00:08:36,379 --> 00:08:34,079 so getting this out of the way he I can 207 00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:36,389 talk about the main the the primary 208 00:08:40,670 --> 00:08:38,729 mission here the primary mission is as 209 00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:40,680 Dan mentioned to bring up two thousand 210 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:43,889 kilograms roughly two tons of scientific 211 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,250 and supplies to the to the station 212 00:08:50,569 --> 00:08:48,480 that's what the second stage as the 213 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,579 second stage continues you send after it 214 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:52,320 separates on the first stage 215 00:08:59,480 --> 00:08:55,770 it would burn for roughly nine almost 10 216 00:09:01,040 --> 00:08:59,490 minutes 99 minutes 40 seconds as shut 217 00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:01,050 down at this time vary a little bit 218 00:09:07,220 --> 00:09:05,430 depends on how well the engine runs how 219 00:09:09,890 --> 00:09:07,230 actually the weight we know pretty well 220 00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:09,900 but it's mostly there's small variations 221 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:11,670 here and there so it could be a couple 222 00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:15,450 of seconds longer or shorter it will 223 00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:18,480 insert dragon into a 200 x 360 kilometer 224 00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:21,150 orbit it's a the ISS inclination of 225 00:09:27,470 --> 00:09:25,260 course and it will deploy dragon 35 226 00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:27,480 seconds after shutdown we should be able 227 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:29,820 to see shut shut down from the ground 228 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:33,450 and sorry shut down from the ground and 229 00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:36,050 actually drag and deploy from the ground 230 00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:39,720 dragon will then deploy the the solar 231 00:09:45,380 --> 00:09:42,620 arrays within the next two minutes and 232 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:45,390 that's about the end of the mission at 233 00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:47,370 least for Falcon 9 dragon of course 234 00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:51,390 continues will take about thirty eight 235 00:09:57,740 --> 00:09:54,510 hours to the station where it begin to 236 00:09:59,690 --> 00:09:57,750 climb on the Arbor and get grappled by 237 00:10:03,560 --> 00:09:59,700 the body astronaut and will be brought 238 00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:03,570 to the station there it will stay up 239 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:07,470 there for 35 days which is the longest 240 00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:10,650 we've ever done I believe pretty sure 241 00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:15,630 actually and and then we'll be unbirth 242 00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:19,980 and will depart from the ISS and land 243 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:23,070 and the Pacific Ocean basically in our 244 00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:26,250 front yard where we pick it up and bring 245 00:10:32,090 --> 00:10:29,460 the return cargo to the harbor return 246 00:10:35,630 --> 00:10:32,100 calico is if I remember correctly about 247 00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:35,640 1,300 kilograms of really important 248 00:10:43,010 --> 00:10:39,390 science results that have to be powered 249 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:43,020 entire time kept cool and captured the 250 00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:45,210 entire time and we supply this in Dragon 251 00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:49,710 all the way from these ISS to the onto 252 00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:53,670 the boat at this point in time that's 253 00:11:02,440 --> 00:10:59,860 okay good afternoon I'm Dave craft that 254 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:02,450 launch weather officer for this 40-foot 255 00:11:06,940 --> 00:11:05,330 Space Wing I'd like to start out with 256 00:11:09,970 --> 00:11:06,950 this framing the meteorological 257 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:09,980 situation for everyone it'll be better 258 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:11,930 for you to understand the situation that 259 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:13,250 we're looking at and the challenges that 260 00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:14,690 we're facing over the next couple of 261 00:11:22,990 --> 00:11:19,940 days typically in April here in Central 262 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Florida and on the Space Coast it's one 263 00:11:27,970 --> 00:11:24,890 of the driest months relative to the 264 00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:27,980 rest of the year here and the past 265 00:11:32,350 --> 00:11:29,600 couple of days that is not the case so 266 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:32,360 it's not typical over really for the 267 00:11:36,580 --> 00:11:34,970 majority of the upcoming week and we're 268 00:11:40,210 --> 00:11:36,590 looking at more of a summertime 269 00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:40,220 situation and in summertime meaning that 270 00:11:44,890 --> 00:11:42,200 it's a wetter it's a wetter situation 271 00:11:47,710 --> 00:11:44,900 and we're looking at sea breeze activity 272 00:11:49,870 --> 00:11:47,720 sea breeze formation every day late 273 00:11:52,990 --> 00:11:49,880 morning to early afternoon and then 274 00:11:55,060 --> 00:11:53,000 moving west of the spaceport and then 275 00:11:57,070 --> 00:11:55,070 collisions of the sea breezes in the 276 00:11:59,290 --> 00:11:57,080 afternoon and then so the challenges 277 00:12:02,770 --> 00:11:59,300 that we're looking at are the really 278 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:02,780 thick cloud and anvil cloud bull off 279 00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:04,970 from some of these thunderstorms that 280 00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:08,000 would be inland or in close proximity of 281 00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:10,880 the spaceport and and then drifting back 282 00:12:14,650 --> 00:12:12,710 toward us by the afternoon so we're 283 00:12:16,270 --> 00:12:14,660 looking at animal cloud threat mainly in 284 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:16,280 the next couple of days thick cloud 285 00:12:22,210 --> 00:12:19,310 which is thick cloth 4500 feet thick or 286 00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:22,220 greater and we're the area the altitude 287 00:12:27,460 --> 00:12:23,870 of concern is at the zero degrees 288 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:27,470 Celsius height and if it spans that 289 00:12:32,350 --> 00:12:30,170 height and at the minus 20 degrees 290 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:32,360 Celsius height so if you affect I draw 291 00:12:37,660 --> 00:12:34,510 your attention to the satellite imagery 292 00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:37,670 this is today's visual satellite that 293 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:40,910 you see right now it'll briefly in a 294 00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:43,130 couple seconds it will rotate through to 295 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:45,550 an infrared but that's what's firing up 296 00:12:52,330 --> 00:12:49,010 actually right now along the Space Coast 297 00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:52,340 now looking at the southeastern US those 298 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:54,080 color this is an infrared shot by the 299 00:13:00,070 --> 00:12:57,290 way the colors and the dark those bright 300 00:13:03,550 --> 00:13:00,080 reds and yellows that's a lot of very 301 00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:03,560 strong high-altitude tops thunderstorm 302 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:05,780 activity stretching along a frontal 303 00:13:10,629 --> 00:13:08,480 boundary that's east-west oriented 304 00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:10,639 north of us now epically in April these 305 00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:12,260 fronts still make their way down through 306 00:13:20,319 --> 00:13:15,649 us the but like I said it's not a 307 00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:20,329 typical week in April for us and if you 308 00:13:26,590 --> 00:13:23,720 see this east/west orientated front all 309 00:13:28,420 --> 00:13:26,600 the activity is is concentrated along 310 00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:28,430 that boundary to the north of us in 311 00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:32,089 northern Florida so what it is it's 312 00:13:36,250 --> 00:13:34,160 actually allowing south of that boundary 313 00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:36,260 that's the surface boundary south of 314 00:13:41,259 --> 00:13:38,110 that boundary is tropical moisture 315 00:13:42,910 --> 00:13:41,269 tropical weather like conditions that 316 00:13:46,269 --> 00:13:42,920 were experiencing so more of a 317 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:46,279 summertime situation so if I could get 318 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:49,850 into the forecast we're looking at just 319 00:13:56,290 --> 00:13:53,930 were looking mostly cloudy skies seven 320 00:14:00,040 --> 00:13:56,300 miles visibility with with isolated 321 00:14:03,870 --> 00:14:00,050 shower chance for for the for the launch 322 00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:03,880 day with thunderstorms again inland with 323 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:07,070 the bow off of the ambles approaching us 324 00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:10,250 by the t0 and the probability launch 325 00:14:14,199 --> 00:14:12,079 weather constraint is forty percent and 326 00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:14,209 again the primary concern will be anvil 327 00:14:19,870 --> 00:14:17,000 cloud and thick cloud layer winds will 328 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:19,880 be out of the southeast about 12 to 329 00:14:26,530 --> 00:14:22,610 peaking to 17 miles per hour next slide 330 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:26,540 if we need a 24-hour delay similar 331 00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:29,690 conditions still mostly cloudy skies I'd 332 00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:31,220 like to point out more of a southerly 333 00:14:34,809 --> 00:14:33,260 direction for the winds and that that 334 00:14:38,290 --> 00:14:34,819 actually allows the sea breeze to 335 00:14:41,050 --> 00:14:38,300 hang-hang a little closer during the 336 00:14:43,059 --> 00:14:41,060 afternoon and not not progress westward 337 00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,069 away from us as much as it normally 338 00:14:47,769 --> 00:14:45,440 would the past these past couple of days 339 00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:47,779 so we're actually another primary 340 00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:49,910 concern for the 24-hour delay would be 341 00:14:53,769 --> 00:14:51,519 the cumulus cloud will add that in 342 00:14:56,410 --> 00:14:53,779 because we could have some more activity 343 00:14:57,910 --> 00:14:56,420 closer in on the 24-hour delay but still 344 00:15:01,240 --> 00:14:57,920 nevertheless a forty percent chance 345 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:01,250 probability of violating and then for 346 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,170 recovery landing forecast couple hundred 347 00:15:07,389 --> 00:15:05,360 miles off Jacksonville for the first 348 00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:07,399 stage we're looking at a seventy percent 349 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:11,750 cloud cover so cloudy skies it's if you 350 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:13,250 keep in mind that satellite imagery 351 00:15:17,139 --> 00:15:15,170 before it's closer to that surface 352 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:17,149 boundary so it's going to be cloudy some 353 00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:20,810 showers in the area see state will be 354 00:15:27,190 --> 00:15:22,910 four to four to six feet 355 00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:27,200 and it's but it's looking fairly 356 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:28,910 favorable to land just not the greatest 357 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:31,130 viewing but there will be some isolated 358 00:15:35,020 --> 00:15:33,410 showers into the city for the the 359 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:35,030 recovery and it we're looking forward to 360 00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:38,450 that so that's all I have okay Dave 361 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:40,550 thank you we will take your questions 362 00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:43,370 now if you're in the room please let us 363 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:44,750 know if you have a question by raising 364 00:15:50,140 --> 00:15:46,610 your hand we have folks with microphones 365 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:50,150 and they'll bring them around we ask you 366 00:15:53,410 --> 00:15:51,650 to wait for the microphone and state 367 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:53,420 your name and affiliation and to whom 368 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:55,130 you're addressing the question and we'll 369 00:16:00,090 --> 00:15:57,770 start off with Marcia Dunn why should an 370 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:00,100 Associated Press for mr. clinics Minh 371 00:16:04,330 --> 00:16:02,690 this is your third attempt to land I 372 00:16:06,610 --> 00:16:04,340 mean what are is there anything 373 00:16:08,830 --> 00:16:06,620 different about this third try and do 374 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:08,840 you see your odds is being better to 375 00:16:14,530 --> 00:16:10,250 achieve this since you've got the other 376 00:16:18,030 --> 00:16:14,540 two behind you yeah so on if you recall 377 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:18,040 on the first one we went out of control 378 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:20,450 authority under on the fins flute 379 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:23,090 basically we fix that on the second one 380 00:16:29,110 --> 00:16:24,770 on the second one we didn't have at your 381 00:16:31,390 --> 00:16:29,120 own ship there the weather was terrible 382 00:16:32,980 --> 00:16:31,400 on the second attempt and and it looks 383 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:32,990 it looks right now like the weather is 384 00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:36,290 significantly better four to six feet of 385 00:16:41,950 --> 00:16:39,080 swells is nothing we did we did also 386 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:41,960 upgrade the drone ship so it can put 387 00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:46,930 keep the position better so we're more 388 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:50,720 review we can tolerate a higher wind and 389 00:16:57,070 --> 00:16:55,250 swell leveled and then previously and I 390 00:16:58,900 --> 00:16:57,080 guess together the improvements on the 391 00:17:01,330 --> 00:16:58,910 vehicle on first stage and the 392 00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:01,340 improvements on the on the drone ship 393 00:17:07,420 --> 00:17:05,510 itself I would up my probability to 394 00:17:12,930 --> 00:17:07,430 seventy-five percent at this point in 395 00:17:21,390 --> 00:17:18,600 Irene thanks um they for a for Dan with 396 00:17:23,850 --> 00:17:21,400 the addition of the three more of cargo 397 00:17:26,130 --> 00:17:23,860 flights for SpaceX does that have a 398 00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:26,140 corresponding increase in the contract 399 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:29,980 value from 1.6 to roughly 2 billion I 400 00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:32,890 don't know this X it would have you know 401 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:34,870 obviously been up were in the contract 402 00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:37,810 value I'm not quite sure of the total 403 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:41,200 budget otal money allocated for those 404 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:46,750 three missions though yeah I you know 405 00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:49,210 haunts my I'm sure there was a typical 406 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:51,340 inflation for the out years considering 407 00:17:56,940 --> 00:17:52,810 when these ones when these vehicles are 408 00:18:02,550 --> 00:17:56,950 fine but it was a escalation probably on 409 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:02,560 top of what we had mm-hmm Jim Siegel I'm 410 00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:05,050 with the celebration news and the split 411 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:09,670 spaceflight insider question for Dan the 412 00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:11,730 you mentioned the consumables earlier 413 00:18:18,410 --> 00:18:15,510 hoping to get up to six months or so of 414 00:18:21,390 --> 00:18:18,420 supplies I'm interested in whether 415 00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:21,400 anything new or different is going up 416 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:24,400 with this group of supplies any new 417 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:27,970 foods and I knew what evers on this 418 00:18:32,790 --> 00:18:30,010 particular one we're flying about a 419 00:18:34,770 --> 00:18:32,800 month's worth of food so it's not the 420 00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:34,780 the ones that push us over the edge i'll 421 00:18:40,290 --> 00:18:38,260 say that is going to be h tv5 where 422 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:40,300 we've kind of new a new thing we're 423 00:18:45,210 --> 00:18:42,730 doing we're fine 30 i'll say rather 424 00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:45,220 large bags of water that will get our 425 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:48,900 water consumables significantly improved 426 00:18:54,270 --> 00:18:52,090 as well as a lot of food and i don't 427 00:18:55,980 --> 00:18:54,280 have the specific numbers for you and 428 00:18:57,900 --> 00:18:55,990 then or before which will follow in 429 00:19:00,540 --> 00:18:57,910 november again will will most likely 430 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:00,550 carry some water force and a significant 431 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:03,250 amount of food as well some of the the 432 00:19:06,990 --> 00:19:05,650 dragon missions we kind of you know try 433 00:19:09,020 --> 00:19:07,000 to use from you know for some of the 434 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:09,030 dedicated science that really needs to 435 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:13,840 the capability to to bring power late 436 00:19:20,220 --> 00:19:17,890 late load research hardware up as well 437 00:19:23,910 --> 00:19:20,230 as return and so we're a little bit 438 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:23,920 picky of making sure we give that to the 439 00:19:27,290 --> 00:19:25,890 research community first 440 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:27,300 and then we'll pick up some of the slack 441 00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:29,010 on consumables with with the other 442 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:31,430 vehicles that's kind of been our plan 443 00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:33,570 well take a question here on the front 444 00:19:39,020 --> 00:19:35,790 row and then come over to Ken and then 445 00:19:41,150 --> 00:19:39,030 we'll go back over here steward money 446 00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:41,160 interspace net my question is for hands 447 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:43,380 has there been any change in the landing 448 00:19:47,780 --> 00:19:46,050 profile or did you learn anything from 449 00:19:49,850 --> 00:19:47,790 the discover attempt even though the 450 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:49,860 drone ship wasn't there is have you 451 00:19:56,330 --> 00:19:52,770 tweaked it in some way since i since the 452 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:56,340 discover launch i believe that if the 453 00:19:59,960 --> 00:19:57,930 drone ship would have been there would 454 00:20:01,580 --> 00:19:59,970 have been a good landing and i don't 455 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:01,590 think we made any changes following that 456 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:04,530 so from that perspective it was 457 00:20:09,740 --> 00:20:07,200 literally just missing the ship now 458 00:20:11,540 --> 00:20:09,750 having said that we thought we haven't 459 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:11,550 tested the last couple seconds and so 460 00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:15,090 that of course is important yeah but 461 00:20:19,670 --> 00:20:17,400 there was no significant change on the 462 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:19,680 vehicle side between the last flight and 463 00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:21,570 between the last attempt to land on this 464 00:20:26,330 --> 00:20:24,600 attempt one actually independently I 465 00:20:30,140 --> 00:20:26,340 want to point something out when dance 466 00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:30,150 has space x6 and I say cs6 we mean the 467 00:20:38,810 --> 00:20:36,960 same thing just different ok in Kramer 468 00:20:41,930 --> 00:20:38,820 for America's space in universe today a 469 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:41,940 question for dan please with the loss of 470 00:20:47,060 --> 00:20:44,610 it are three can you say it was if it 471 00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:47,070 was there any impact on on science that 472 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:49,470 we the other is the science that's 473 00:20:55,580 --> 00:20:52,410 ongoing now impacted anyway by the loss 474 00:20:58,250 --> 00:20:55,590 of orb three and and with or before 475 00:21:00,080 --> 00:20:58,260 launching on an atlas how confident are 476 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:00,090 you that you'll actually be able to 477 00:21:04,550 --> 00:21:02,850 launch that in November because it is a 478 00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:04,560 different vehicle I know you had to do a 479 00:21:08,750 --> 00:21:06,480 lot of new work to make sure that 480 00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:08,760 everything would work out girl we did 481 00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:10,950 loose we did lose some science on on orb 482 00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:13,860 three you know NanoRacks deployers I was 483 00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:15,390 actually up Wallops looking at a lot of 484 00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:17,720 the the hardware that came back and so 485 00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:21,420 we have we adjusted our space x5 486 00:21:25,490 --> 00:21:23,520 manifest to fly as much you know 487 00:21:27,860 --> 00:21:25,500 backfill as much research as we could 488 00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:27,870 again balancing it with this with the 489 00:21:35,210 --> 00:21:32,430 consumables discussion but you know some 490 00:21:37,070 --> 00:21:35,220 of the Pacific's on orb 3 you know I'd 491 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:37,080 have to get you know NanoRacks had a 492 00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:38,770 large complement of payloads on 493 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:40,510 that they'll be looking to refi with the 494 00:21:46,290 --> 00:21:43,450 cube 10 and then as far as or before on 495 00:21:49,230 --> 00:21:46,300 atlas you know if you think about the 496 00:21:51,660 --> 00:21:49,240 cygnus side of things in the way orbital 497 00:21:53,670 --> 00:21:51,670 in the past is integrated onto the bus 498 00:21:55,230 --> 00:21:53,680 of atlas they're very very familiar with 499 00:21:57,270 --> 00:21:55,240 that they've done satellites with that 500 00:22:01,320 --> 00:21:57,280 so as far as an overall integration 501 00:22:03,390 --> 00:22:01,330 issue of the Cygnus onto the Atlas that 502 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:03,400 seems to be going rather smooth and so I 503 00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:05,890 have not heard of any showstoppers that 504 00:22:10,410 --> 00:22:08,320 would get us out of that November time 505 00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:10,420 period you know and then we also have to 506 00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:12,130 play with and that's good not play with 507 00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:13,750 but we have the constraint of when an 508 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:16,750 HTV flies because they use the prox the 509 00:22:21,780 --> 00:22:19,690 same proc system you need to get HTTP 510 00:22:23,460 --> 00:22:21,790 down we need to convert that over to the 511 00:22:25,170 --> 00:22:23,470 orb system and that takes a little bit 512 00:22:28,260 --> 00:22:25,180 you know an indefinite amount of time so 513 00:22:29,970 --> 00:22:28,270 by time HTV flies then it has the 514 00:22:32,790 --> 00:22:29,980 mission duration and then you need to do 515 00:22:36,620 --> 00:22:32,800 this this hand over to support orbital 516 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:36,630 it November basically lines up for them 517 00:22:41,550 --> 00:22:39,370 Jason Jason Ryan for spaceflight 518 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:41,560 insider.com this one's for Hans Hans you 519 00:22:44,460 --> 00:22:42,610 guys encountered a little bit of problem 520 00:22:46,830 --> 00:22:44,470 your helium bottles in the I believe the 521 00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:46,840 first stage of the Falcon 9 can you 522 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:48,550 describe a little bit about what you 523 00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:50,890 encountered there and what changes you 524 00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:54,130 made if any or noted that would involve 525 00:22:58,830 --> 00:22:57,070 the these helium bottles yeah i think i 526 00:23:01,080 --> 00:22:58,840 think the right term is in abundance of 527 00:23:03,630 --> 00:23:01,090 caution we didn't have anything fail or 528 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:03,640 anything decon the vehicle it's very 529 00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:06,010 important we didn't we didn't find 530 00:23:10,350 --> 00:23:07,510 anything on the vehicles that either but 531 00:23:12,110 --> 00:23:10,360 we had some some test articles and some 532 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:12,120 rejected hardware that we looked at and 533 00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:14,290 became concerned and wanted to 534 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:15,910 investigate if you had similar 535 00:23:22,020 --> 00:23:18,370 conditions on the vehicle we didn't see 536 00:23:23,430 --> 00:23:22,030 anything now CH cs6 was actually at a 537 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:23,440 position where this was relatively easy 538 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:26,770 that's why the schedule for cs6 was not 539 00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:29,050 affected so from that perspective it was 540 00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:34,480 was fairly transparent James oh thank 541 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:36,430 you change the floor today Hans I was 542 00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:37,330 wondering if you could describe a little 543 00:23:43,410 --> 00:23:40,390 bit the upcoming upgrades to Falcon 9 544 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:43,420 and how soon as that happened how many 545 00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:47,010 more flights before you implement those 546 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:48,840 yeah 547 00:23:58,789 --> 00:23:54,000 so so the the desk as upgrades coming on 548 00:24:00,350 --> 00:23:58,799 mostly engine thrust and what this what 549 00:24:02,380 --> 00:24:00,360 we do right now is we run the engines 550 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:02,390 basically with a lot of margin and 551 00:24:07,669 --> 00:24:04,610 basically not one hundred percent power 552 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:07,679 it's probably equivalent if you would 553 00:24:11,330 --> 00:24:09,330 say we're running at eighty percent and 554 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:11,340 what we do is we go to full performance 555 00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:13,650 so we call is actually also full 556 00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:16,710 performance these upgrades folding in 557 00:24:24,889 --> 00:24:21,929 one of the next vehicles I'm always 558 00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:24,899 looking at the next two and I believe it 559 00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:28,830 is in four vehicles then from here from 560 00:24:37,370 --> 00:24:34,230 from from today so that will bring bring 561 00:24:43,399 --> 00:24:37,380 our payload a little bit up and allow us 562 00:24:46,430 --> 00:24:43,409 to to do better return to land first 563 00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:46,440 stage landings and partial endings on 564 00:24:50,570 --> 00:24:47,370 payloads that are more demanding 565 00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:50,580 primarily I don't think you see any 566 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:52,200 significant change on the outside of the 567 00:24:59,269 --> 00:24:57,450 vehicle hiya ends oviedo NASA social 568 00:25:02,180 --> 00:24:59,279 embry-riddle press get these questions 569 00:25:05,060 --> 00:25:02,190 for dr.

Hartman continuing on with 605 00:26:33,410 --> 00:26:30,960 the water my 12 year old son is 606 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:33,420 particularly amused by the recycling of 607 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:37,410 the water on the space station and so as 608 00:26:43,460 --> 00:26:40,080 a consumable how much is lost with the 609 00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:43,470 recycling and how much would that how 610 00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:46,070 much how long would that water last yeah 611 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:48,990 last I it could be indefinitely right so 612 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:53,010 you know we actually turn our urine into 613 00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:56,010 drinking water we collect sweat from the 614 00:27:00,260 --> 00:26:58,170 crew members as the exercise your air 615 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:00,270 conditioning systems at home have 616 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:02,370 condensate and so we collect all that 617 00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:05,130 water put it through our water processor 618 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:08,790 on orbit and right now I think we're 619 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:13,530 about 80% recollection right so we lose 620 00:27:16,670 --> 00:27:14,970 I'll say if another way to look at it 621 00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:16,680 you lose twenty percent we dispose of 622 00:27:22,910 --> 00:27:19,440 that in a variety of forms primarily 623 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:22,920 brine which is a very thick unfiltered 624 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:26,250 substance I'll say but eighty percent is 625 00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:28,530 good you know we also have the sub body 626 00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:31,710 a system on board where we can use the 627 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:33,870 byproduct of our carbon dioxide scrubber 628 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:36,930 co2 Plus some hydrogen and we can create 629 00:27:41,810 --> 00:27:39,210 additional water from from that event as 630 00:27:43,670 --> 00:27:41,820 well so overall big picture between the 631 00:27:46,130 --> 00:27:43,680 two you know that part of them our main 632 00:27:48,410 --> 00:27:46,140 region system in sabatier were roughly 633 00:27:51,380 --> 00:27:48,420 about eighty percent and we're 634 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:51,390 constantly trying to push that because 635 00:27:55,910 --> 00:27:54,330 you know you know a gallon of water 636 00:27:58,850 --> 00:27:55,920 weighs eight pounds and it's and it's 637 00:28:01,760 --> 00:27:58,860 expensive to launch a lot of mass to 638 00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:01,770 orbit and so the better we can do on on 639 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:04,020 getting that percentage higher the 640 00:28:08,390 --> 00:28:06,210 better we'll all be that's in that that 641 00:28:12,020 --> 00:28:08,400 main that is one of the key drivers for 642 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:12,030 our environmental control a team as they 643 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:13,770 look for you know kind of their roadmap 644 00:28:16,490 --> 00:28:15,330 to exploration is how can we 645 00:28:18,170 --> 00:28:16,500 get that up to eighty-five ninety 646 00:28:22,220 --> 00:28:18,180 percent and we're working on some 647 00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:22,230 techniques now rusty meadows NASA social 648 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:25,200 this questions Franz can you talk about 649 00:28:29,660 --> 00:28:27,930 the implications of a successful Falcon 650 00:28:32,570 --> 00:28:29,670 landing and what that means for future 651 00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:32,580 missions the implications of a 652 00:28:38,510 --> 00:28:35,390 successful first stage landing well 653 00:28:46,370 --> 00:28:38,520 first it would be an epic launch landing 654 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:46,380 party yes we we would need to look at 655 00:28:50,570 --> 00:28:48,690 the stage and evaluate and what do we 656 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:50,580 need to do to reef lie this particular 657 00:28:56,930 --> 00:28:54,450 stage and so far so it's it's an it's a 658 00:29:02,450 --> 00:28:56,940 really valuable object to work towards 659 00:29:04,730 --> 00:29:02,460 reusability and to take whatever action 660 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:04,740 we have to take to get this stage back 661 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:06,570 in the state that we can then we fly 662 00:29:13,730 --> 00:29:11,730 within a short time so in the long term 663 00:29:17,210 --> 00:29:13,740 obviously if you're able to reflow your 664 00:29:19,790 --> 00:29:17,220 first stage you need to establish how 665 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:19,800 many times can you reply it it's a 20 666 00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:22,770 time so that 40 time is 50 times but 667 00:29:27,770 --> 00:29:24,600 where's the limit what do you have to 668 00:29:30,890 --> 00:29:27,780 exchange if you fly more than 50 times 669 00:29:33,020 --> 00:29:30,900 and you get basically into an your 670 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:33,030 operation completely changes my opinion 671 00:29:38,780 --> 00:29:35,370 you get into a maintenance operation 672 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:38,790 value where you it's more like like an 673 00:29:43,730 --> 00:29:40,640 airplane type operation yeah and 674 00:29:47,210 --> 00:29:43,740 honestly from from from my perspective I 675 00:29:48,860 --> 00:29:47,220 look at risk I actually like getting the 676 00:29:52,270 --> 00:29:48,870 stage back because that is the stage I 677 00:29:55,220 --> 00:29:52,280 know and I it you know it has it has it 678 00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:55,230 has proven itself so there's some some 679 00:29:59,420 --> 00:29:57,510 benefit terms of reliability you're not 680 00:30:02,990 --> 00:29:59,430 you're not always getting to a new car 681 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:03,000 every time you drive to work right so I 682 00:30:07,070 --> 00:30:05,490 think the implications are huge and and 683 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:07,080 of course in the long term this might 684 00:30:12,970 --> 00:30:10,170 change completely how we how we approach 685 00:30:15,370 --> 00:30:12,980 transportation to space 686 00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:15,380 Jason Jason run for Space Flight insider 687 00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:17,510 again real quick for Hans dragon is 688 00:30:21,250 --> 00:30:18,799 partially supposed to be partially 689 00:30:23,890 --> 00:30:21,260 reusable have any component from prior 690 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:23,900 missions flown on or being scheduled to 691 00:30:30,130 --> 00:30:27,770 fly on upcoming flights of Dragon in 692 00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:30,140 details only i would say and i don't 693 00:30:34,390 --> 00:30:32,480 think i have the full list year but not 694 00:30:37,150 --> 00:30:34,400 a full dragon in a way that you know 695 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:37,160 this dragon but it is it is certainly 696 00:30:43,330 --> 00:30:39,530 something that we've worked towards it's 697 00:30:48,460 --> 00:30:43,340 not it's not the space flight itself 698 00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:48,470 that uses up dragon it's actually more 699 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:51,710 the water landing that does that sea 700 00:30:55,780 --> 00:30:54,290 water is just not not very good for that 701 00:30:58,210 --> 00:30:55,790 when you protect and it takes a lot of 702 00:31:00,610 --> 00:30:58,220 effort to protect something against sea 703 00:31:03,370 --> 00:31:00,620 water corrosion we learned a lot over 704 00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:03,380 the last couple dragons basically how to 705 00:31:09,730 --> 00:31:06,110 do this and we also taking the next step 706 00:31:12,510 --> 00:31:09,740 on dragon reusability in the long run so 707 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:12,520 that we are able to reuse dragons but I 708 00:31:15,610 --> 00:31:14,570 you know we've worked with the teams 709 00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:15,620 right there there are numerous 710 00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:18,320 components that reef lie on Dragon today 711 00:31:22,450 --> 00:31:20,630 and we'll so in the future we we work 712 00:31:24,610 --> 00:31:22,460 with SpaceX our engineering teens work 713 00:31:26,110 --> 00:31:24,620 with SpaceX to make sure it has useful 714 00:31:28,299 --> 00:31:26,120 life back in it that it you know the 715 00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:28,309 margins are still all there but 716 00:31:32,770 --> 00:31:30,710 reusability is you know it's acceptable 717 00:31:35,169 --> 00:31:32,780 when the hardware performs and we just 718 00:31:37,570 --> 00:31:35,179 we need to see that kind of verification 719 00:31:39,789 --> 00:31:37,580 certification once we see it we haven't 720 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:39,799 had any objections to to that going down 721 00:31:47,049 --> 00:31:45,410 that path Charlie would NASA social a 722 00:31:48,909 --> 00:31:47,059 lot of the experiments we've heard about 723 00:31:50,049 --> 00:31:48,919 today have to do with studying and 724 00:31:53,140 --> 00:31:50,059 mitigating the effects of microgravity 725 00:31:54,850 --> 00:31:53,150 and zero gravity and which are obviously 726 00:31:56,860 --> 00:31:54,860 problematic for long term missions 727 00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:56,870 including deep space missions so my 728 00:32:01,570 --> 00:31:58,730 question is is a zero gravity 729 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:01,580 environment assumed for a mission to 730 00:32:07,390 --> 00:32:04,010 Mars or is artificial gravity a 731 00:32:08,919 --> 00:32:07,400 possibility I have not heard of very 732 00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:08,929 many studies going on for artificial 733 00:32:13,419 --> 00:32:11,240 gravity on the way to Mars certainly the 734 00:32:16,539 --> 00:32:13,429 the effects of the human body and zero 735 00:32:18,190 --> 00:32:16,549 gfx is what we have been studying you 736 00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:18,200 know the fluid shifts experiments that 737 00:32:24,019 --> 00:32:21,470 are going on with the one-year crew the 738 00:32:27,019 --> 00:32:24,029 the inter-cranial pressure and then bill 739 00:32:29,629 --> 00:32:27,029 the you know pressure around the eye and 740 00:32:32,629 --> 00:32:29,639 affects a vision and so everything that 741 00:32:35,869 --> 00:32:32,639 I know of has been toward the zero-g 742 00:32:41,930 --> 00:32:35,879 effect I'm not aware of any large 743 00:32:45,049 --> 00:32:41,940 studies on defeating that Courtney NASA 744 00:32:47,330 --> 00:32:45,059 social on Friday Elon Musk tweeted two 745 00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:47,340 pictures of the dragon being prepared 746 00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:50,070 and it says he he said points if you 747 00:32:54,589 --> 00:32:51,809 notice what's new now I could only 748 00:32:57,649 --> 00:32:54,599 notice the logo was new but could you 749 00:32:59,959 --> 00:32:57,659 maybe give us some insight the logo 750 00:33:02,180 --> 00:32:59,969 itself he he just tweeted pictures and 751 00:33:04,789 --> 00:33:02,190 said points if you can find what's new I 752 00:33:06,409 --> 00:33:04,799 was just wondering what was new that the 753 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:06,419 logo change from the last two of this 754 00:33:11,930 --> 00:33:09,690 one so and it looks a little bit sleeker 755 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:11,940 a little bit more modern I guess more in 756 00:33:21,609 --> 00:33:15,690 line with the lyin logos just for 757 00:33:23,659 --> 00:33:21,619 logo Matt it looks nice I know ken I'm 758 00:33:27,259 --> 00:33:23,669 America's space in the universe today 759 00:33:29,089 --> 00:33:27,269 for for hunts and Dan probably too I'm 760 00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:29,099 wondering about the instantaneous launch 761 00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:32,820 window um if you were not doing this fly 762 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:35,039 back could the launch window be more 763 00:33:40,820 --> 00:33:37,679 than just momentary the other thing 764 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:40,830 about it is this this dragons carrying 765 00:33:45,109 --> 00:33:43,200 about 700 pounds less than the other one 766 00:33:47,930 --> 00:33:45,119 so I monitoring also from that 767 00:33:49,729 --> 00:33:47,940 standpoint why you cannot since that's 768 00:33:52,129 --> 00:33:49,739 pretty significant why you can't have a 769 00:33:57,950 --> 00:33:52,139 lawned a longer launch window than 770 00:34:00,229 --> 00:33:57,960 instantaneous thank you let me so so 771 00:34:02,180 --> 00:34:00,239 you're right it's actually instantaneous 772 00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:02,190 is to some extent and optimization 773 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,769 because you you are optimizing that you 774 00:34:08,569 --> 00:34:06,960 hit the right plane by the time you 775 00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:08,579 actually do the orbit insertion you 776 00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:10,649 could be off a couple seconds and what 777 00:34:17,059 --> 00:34:13,829 you do is you then have to fix your 778 00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:17,069 inclination and that is expensive so in 779 00:34:21,139 --> 00:34:19,049 other words if you do launch a couple of 780 00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:21,149 seconds later a couple seconds earlier 781 00:34:26,329 --> 00:34:23,510 you could pay this in propellant 782 00:34:27,980 --> 00:34:26,339 primarily actually on the dragon side 783 00:34:30,589 --> 00:34:27,990 that's why it doesn't help you too much 784 00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:30,599 on the landing at all the lending has no 785 00:34:35,250 --> 00:34:33,240 impact in my opinion here and from from 786 00:34:37,169 --> 00:34:35,260 our perspective 787 00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:37,179 from the launch team perspective whether 788 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:41,169 you launch at a an exact moment or five 789 00:34:45,330 --> 00:34:42,730 seconds earlier five seconds later 790 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:45,340 doesn't matter it's this whole you get 791 00:34:50,250 --> 00:34:47,530 into the the you know that the whole 792 00:34:52,620 --> 00:34:50,260 setup and the long count down and and 793 00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:52,630 and at the end of it you uu on a second 794 00:34:56,340 --> 00:34:54,399 basically whether you five seconds 795 00:34:58,050 --> 00:34:56,350 longer doesn't help you to solve any 796 00:35:00,750 --> 00:34:58,060 problems and so from our perspective 797 00:35:02,730 --> 00:35:00,760 it's basically automatic hands off this 798 00:35:06,020 --> 00:35:02,740 vehicle will launch right on the second 799 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:06,030 that's optimal for propellant you cook 800 00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:09,490 yes we had we had cases where we need 801 00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:12,880 collision avoidance timing the second 802 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:14,710 here or there but but it's really just a 803 00:35:19,470 --> 00:35:17,770 second and to go along with that a lot 804 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:19,480 of it is driven by our payloads right 805 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:20,650 they have you know they're being 806 00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:22,570 processed and you know here at KSC 807 00:35:27,510 --> 00:35:24,400 they're being turned over under the 808 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:27,520 dragon they want to get to orbit and you 809 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:30,370 know begin immediate you know processing 810 00:35:35,310 --> 00:35:32,650 of their research on orbit and so we at 811 00:35:37,890 --> 00:35:35,320 times tend to drive how quick we want 812 00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:37,900 dragon to get to the ISS birth open 813 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:39,520 hatch and get the research out so that 814 00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:41,770 tends to drag it as far as the 700 815 00:35:46,290 --> 00:35:44,350 pounds probably you know that we don't 816 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:46,300 have anything flying in the trunk on 817 00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:47,890 this flight and that's that's probably 818 00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:49,240 the you know I mean that would be the 819 00:35:55,380 --> 00:35:51,550 majority of the makeup we had a payload 820 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:55,390 that was manifested for the trunk it ran 821 00:36:00,450 --> 00:35:57,010 into some testing some integration 822 00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:00,460 issues and so we had an option and the 823 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:01,510 way that payload would have been 824 00:36:06,270 --> 00:36:02,770 installed on orbit would have been 825 00:36:07,830 --> 00:36:06,280 completely ground control robotic Lee so 826 00:36:09,810 --> 00:36:07,840 we would have pulled it out of the cargo 827 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:09,820 out of the trunk of the SpaceX we were 828 00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:11,890 handed off to the big arm it was 829 00:36:14,910 --> 00:36:13,510 actually going to go over to the GM BF 830 00:36:17,370 --> 00:36:14,920 and so we would have handed off to the 831 00:36:20,430 --> 00:36:17,380 gym EF arm all this is orchestrated 832 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:20,440 choreographed on the ground with ground 833 00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:21,970 robotics and then they would have put it 834 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:23,950 in place on on the exposed facility on 835 00:36:30,060 --> 00:36:27,370 the gym BF so that cost us zero crew 836 00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:30,070 time when we had this payload in the 837 00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:32,350 cargo bay we have actually had an option 838 00:36:36,990 --> 00:36:34,720 to launch the ida the international 839 00:36:40,770 --> 00:36:37,000 docket adapter we had time to accelerate 840 00:36:42,270 --> 00:36:40,780 it and get it on SpaceX six Honda's team 841 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:42,280 could have changed the f of the flight 842 00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:44,290 support equipment that could have done 843 00:36:47,730 --> 00:36:45,910 that we could have made the you know the 844 00:36:50,670 --> 00:36:47,740 GNC system work 845 00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:50,680 but when we looked at installing the IDA 846 00:36:56,010 --> 00:36:53,680 it actually takes an EV a during the 847 00:37:00,150 --> 00:36:56,020 birth mission to install it so you have 848 00:37:02,670 --> 00:37:00,160 to then use the time for the EV a witch 849 00:37:04,890 --> 00:37:02,680 some if it's just a single a VA can be 850 00:37:07,710 --> 00:37:04,900 eighty to a hundred hours of crew time 851 00:37:09,870 --> 00:37:07,720 just to prep the suits prep the airlock 852 00:37:12,450 --> 00:37:09,880 get everything get the tools ready get 853 00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:12,460 out the door and perform the task so we 854 00:37:16,609 --> 00:37:14,110 looked at the eighty to a hundred hours 855 00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:16,619 of EV a time it took to go outside 856 00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:19,510 versus the mission requirements that we 857 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:22,240 had specifically for the payloads during 858 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:24,330 this time period and we could not find 859 00:37:30,359 --> 00:37:27,970 the room to go suck up 80 hours and take 860 00:37:32,850 --> 00:37:30,369 that out of the payload utilization time 861 00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:32,860 so it was purely that kind of trade yeah 862 00:37:36,690 --> 00:37:34,630 we wish the the first payload would have 863 00:37:38,310 --> 00:37:36,700 been there we could have accelerated I 864 00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:38,320 to but we elected to protect the 865 00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:40,150 research that's flying on SpaceX six 866 00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:43,510 will fly I'd on seven and we'll pick up 867 00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:47,110 this payload on a subsequent trunk once 868 00:37:50,970 --> 00:37:48,670 it gets through some some integration 869 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:50,980 and testing and we there will be slots 870 00:37:58,170 --> 00:37:55,090 available for it Irene Irene Klotz with 871 00:37:59,849 --> 00:37:58,180 Reuters and Hans could you maybe just go 872 00:38:02,099 --> 00:37:59,859 through a little bit about what the plan 873 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:02,109 would be for the Falcon first stage 874 00:38:08,609 --> 00:38:04,930 assuming it does land where it would go 875 00:38:10,859 --> 00:38:08,619 and what would be the time frame to take 876 00:38:13,220 --> 00:38:10,869 it apart and would it would you try and 877 00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:13,230 then fly it from New Mexico and then 878 00:38:16,859 --> 00:38:15,430 unrelated if you could maybe give us a 879 00:38:20,370 --> 00:38:16,869 little overview of where things stand 880 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:20,380 for the dragon pad abort test in May 881 00:38:27,150 --> 00:38:23,410 yeah so on the first stage the first 882 00:38:30,030 --> 00:38:27,160 stage gets pulled back to Jacksonville 883 00:38:31,349 --> 00:38:30,040 hover in the next couple days after 884 00:38:33,930 --> 00:38:31,359 landing it depends a little bit on how 885 00:38:38,370 --> 00:38:33,940 the weather is on that and how smooth 886 00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:38,380 the landing goes and and what shape the 887 00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:40,270 vehicle is so it might take a couple 888 00:38:44,970 --> 00:38:42,430 days more year it's how to predict 889 00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:44,980 really if it's not a problem at all i 890 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:46,900 would say one or two days but it could 891 00:38:53,010 --> 00:38:48,490 be problems and there will be 892 00:38:54,660 --> 00:38:53,020 opportunities then there to look at the 893 00:38:55,770 --> 00:38:54,670 vehicle we will inspect the vehicle 894 00:38:58,650 --> 00:38:55,780 there we will 895 00:39:00,030 --> 00:38:58,660 break it over which means putting it on 896 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:00,040 which is actually not that easy because 897 00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:03,010 it is at all Ukraine to pick it up and 898 00:39:10,170 --> 00:39:07,270 then move it around and I believe we 899 00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:10,180 will bring it to Texas our test site for 900 00:39:14,730 --> 00:39:12,910 further inspections but we flied from 901 00:39:16,350 --> 00:39:14,740 dale or from some other place has not 902 00:39:19,350 --> 00:39:16,360 been decided at this point in time 903 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:19,360 depends how it looks what the 904 00:39:27,150 --> 00:39:23,770 inspections say and you know that we go 905 00:39:29,550 --> 00:39:27,160 the next step from there the second 906 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:29,560 question was paddleboard paddle board 907 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:34,330 has a tentatively law launch date i 908 00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:37,450 believe on may two i don't think it's 909 00:39:42,180 --> 00:39:39,250 been confirmed by the range so that 910 00:39:45,450 --> 00:39:42,190 Stetson work and early May now I'm pad 911 00:39:47,870 --> 00:39:45,460 abort is a test vehicle so it's not it's 912 00:39:50,130 --> 00:39:47,880 not a production vehicle it it's been 913 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:50,140 integrated right now I took a look a 914 00:39:58,650 --> 00:39:51,970 couple days ago it's in great shape it's 915 00:40:01,320 --> 00:39:58,660 a really impressive vehicle it you know 916 00:40:03,090 --> 00:40:01,330 this is a very complex vehicle too so we 917 00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:03,100 do we do the pad both different than 918 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:06,280 other guys it's a it's not a solid motor 919 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:08,290 that sits in front of it and and just 920 00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:10,570 boot for both the singer thing out its 921 00:40:14,490 --> 00:40:12,910 instead it's using a shitty the same 922 00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:14,500 propellant as the vehicle would use 923 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:16,960 later on that way you don't bring up 924 00:40:22,370 --> 00:40:19,570 this weight and throw it away and in 925 00:40:25,220 --> 00:40:22,380 mid-flight yeah and you get a lot of 926 00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:25,230 banging out of here back to in terms of 927 00:40:33,420 --> 00:40:27,280 you know what what you do with the 928 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:33,430 propellant in orbit so I'm just saying 929 00:40:40,470 --> 00:40:35,170 I'll be little bit cautious I wouldn't 930 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:40,480 book the flight now and and it might it 931 00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:42,610 might have some some it might require 932 00:40:49,350 --> 00:40:45,250 some flexibility on people trying to 933 00:40:52,110 --> 00:40:49,360 watch it and Marcia Marcia Dunn 934 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:52,120 Associated Press for mr. Hartman the 935 00:40:56,550 --> 00:40:53,650 Italians are sending up an espresso 936 00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:56,560 maker and I'm wondering how much 937 00:41:01,980 --> 00:40:58,330 interest is NASA have in that in 938 00:41:04,020 --> 00:41:01,990 particular and in general how important 939 00:41:06,210 --> 00:41:04,030 is it going to be for you to try to 940 00:41:08,770 --> 00:41:06,220 improve life up there for people as they 941 00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:08,780 spend a year in longer in space 942 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:10,880 from that aspect I think it makes again 943 00:41:14,860 --> 00:41:13,370 I don't know the the commercial side of 944 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:14,870 the expression machine you know I think 945 00:41:19,420 --> 00:41:17,090 it is going up under our utilization so 946 00:41:22,210 --> 00:41:19,430 it makes me think it is part of some 947 00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:22,220 commercial endeavor but that that part 948 00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:24,560 the psychological support or is very 949 00:41:33,010 --> 00:41:29,390 very important we do a lot with crew 950 00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:33,020 members on orbit to keep them in sync 951 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:37,760 with email personal phone calls home you 952 00:41:42,370 --> 00:41:39,610 know they can watch the evening news 953 00:41:44,490 --> 00:41:42,380 depending on our acquisition of signals 954 00:41:47,470 --> 00:41:44,500 that can have live football games and so 955 00:41:50,110 --> 00:41:47,480 we try to set up once a week two-way 956 00:41:52,540 --> 00:41:50,120 parties video both ways with their 957 00:41:54,940 --> 00:41:52,550 family members or they could have a 958 00:41:57,940 --> 00:41:54,950 family member overseas or in some other 959 00:41:59,680 --> 00:41:57,950 you know not necessarily Houston so the 960 00:42:02,440 --> 00:41:59,690 psychological support I think we're 961 00:42:04,780 --> 00:42:02,450 going to learn a lot as this unfolds 962 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:04,790 over the next year but it's you know if 963 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:07,850 an expresso machine comes back and we 964 00:42:10,900 --> 00:42:09,290 get a lot of great comments from the 965 00:42:12,430 --> 00:42:10,910 crew hey this is you know it's kind of 966 00:42:14,470 --> 00:42:12,440 like the ice cream thing right when we 967 00:42:17,410 --> 00:42:14,480 we fly ice cream every now and then 968 00:42:19,390 --> 00:42:17,420 that's just to boost spirits and you 969 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:19,400 know maybe they've you know some rough 970 00:42:24,310 --> 00:42:21,650 day the scoop of ice cream get some over 971 00:42:26,470 --> 00:42:24,320 that hump kind of thing so well I think 972 00:42:27,850 --> 00:42:26,480 well yeah I don't know specifically 973 00:42:29,590 --> 00:42:27,860 about the expression machine but those 974 00:42:32,530 --> 00:42:29,600 kinds of things I think will be 975 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:32,540 commonplace for us as we can continue on 976 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:36,410 with these one-year cruise hi Val Philip 977 00:42:41,770 --> 00:42:38,930 0g news we talked to them briefly about 978 00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:41,780 the reuse you but reusability of Dragon 979 00:42:45,370 --> 00:42:43,730 and that one of the problems is actually 980 00:42:47,620 --> 00:42:45,380 the saltwater aspect the main living in 981 00:42:50,470 --> 00:42:47,630 Cape Canaveral you know that is ocean 982 00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:50,480 corrosion is very much of an issue how 983 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:52,310 are you trying to resolve that and are 984 00:42:57,790 --> 00:42:54,170 you thinking perhaps of going into maybe 985 00:43:01,540 --> 00:42:57,800 land on land rather than on on water 986 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:01,550 where perhaps that will be remove that 987 00:43:08,500 --> 00:43:03,650 issue and therefore make the capture 988 00:43:10,540 --> 00:43:08,510 more totally reusable yes certainly one 989 00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:10,550 problem to solve the sea water corrosion 990 00:43:19,890 --> 00:43:13,310 issues to land on land that would be a 991 00:43:22,380 --> 00:43:19,900 good way to do this it has other issues 992 00:43:24,630 --> 00:43:22,390 the ocean is just very big and there's a 993 00:43:27,299 --> 00:43:24,640 very low chance to to hit anything on 994 00:43:30,329 --> 00:43:27,309 the ocean so that's definitely for the 995 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:30,339 ocean but you know you can protect 996 00:43:34,049 --> 00:43:32,170 actually a hardware against seawater 997 00:43:36,299 --> 00:43:34,059 that that is possible but it's just 998 00:43:40,490 --> 00:43:36,309 something that you have to learn and to 999 00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:40,500 work work into into the vehicle and 1000 00:43:44,819 --> 00:43:42,880 typically people that designs page graph 1001 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:44,829 like people that design boats and ships 1002 00:43:49,049 --> 00:43:47,170 to different set of people and you got 1003 00:43:50,549 --> 00:43:49,059 to find the right people to to get this 1004 00:43:53,819 --> 00:43:50,559 done but you know there's different 1005 00:43:57,269 --> 00:43:53,829 possibilities coding pained surface 1006 00:43:59,910 --> 00:43:57,279 protection sacrificial anodes and and 1007 00:44:01,740 --> 00:43:59,920 all these technologies that help you get 1008 00:44:03,289 --> 00:44:01,750 corrosion under control and having 1009 00:44:05,730 --> 00:44:03,299 worked a couple years at the Cape we 1010 00:44:08,490 --> 00:44:05,740 learnt learned about corrosion how to 1011 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:08,500 purge systems on the pad and and how to 1012 00:44:16,049 --> 00:44:11,170 make sure that that systems live long 1013 00:44:17,970 --> 00:44:16,059 under these conditions so Christian kiss 1014 00:44:21,230 --> 00:44:17,980 you with NASA social my question is for 1015 00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:21,240 mr. Kraft regarding the weather tomorrow 1016 00:44:27,150 --> 00:44:24,640 how how much advance notice do you 1017 00:44:31,380 --> 00:44:27,160 require and who makes the call as to 1018 00:44:33,839 --> 00:44:31,390 whether it's too bad or too good and how 1019 00:44:35,010 --> 00:44:33,849 is that determined well we have an 1020 00:44:37,470 --> 00:44:35,020 operation center range weather 1021 00:44:39,390 --> 00:44:37,480 Operations Center over on the Cape Cape 1022 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:39,400 Canaveral sadhna Cape Canaveral Air 1023 00:44:44,220 --> 00:44:41,770 Force Station and there's a team of 1024 00:44:47,670 --> 00:44:44,230 launch weather officers and will will be 1025 00:44:50,549 --> 00:44:47,680 in will be working on console early in 1026 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:50,559 the early hours of the count and all the 1027 00:44:56,490 --> 00:44:53,170 way through recovery of the first stage 1028 00:44:58,410 --> 00:44:56,500 but we will actually evaluate from 1029 00:45:01,950 --> 00:44:58,420 immediately being on console will will 1030 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:01,960 evaluate the a very detailed set of 1031 00:45:07,799 --> 00:45:04,690 launch commit criteria lightning launch 1032 00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:07,809 commit criteria that's geared toward 1033 00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:09,250 natural lightning it's also geared 1034 00:45:13,019 --> 00:45:10,569 toward a potential for triggered 1035 00:45:14,339 --> 00:45:13,029 lightning so we're evaluating that and 1036 00:45:17,430 --> 00:45:14,349 we're actually we will actually make a 1037 00:45:19,349 --> 00:45:17,440 no-go call on the console during that if 1038 00:45:21,210 --> 00:45:19,359 it's an unsafe situation or it's 1039 00:45:24,990 --> 00:45:21,220 violating one of those what we call the 1040 00:45:27,420 --> 00:45:25,000 LCC rules for providing and one thing I 1041 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:27,430 neglected to say earlier is that today 1042 00:45:31,260 --> 00:45:29,170 is going to be is a similar day that 1043 00:45:33,309 --> 00:45:31,270 from what we're expecting tomorrow and 1044 00:45:36,789 --> 00:45:33,319 actually at the t0 point 1045 00:45:39,670 --> 00:45:36,799 day it was a go condition so the team 1046 00:45:42,130 --> 00:45:39,680 the team relayed to me that it that 1047 00:45:45,009 --> 00:45:42,140 would have been a go so what that forty 1048 00:45:47,499 --> 00:45:45,019 percent chance of violation is probably 1049 00:45:49,269 --> 00:45:47,509 pretty pretty close pretty accurate so 1050 00:45:52,709 --> 00:45:49,279 we're expecting again we're expecting 1051 00:45:55,809 --> 00:45:52,719 activity we're expecting in inland and 1052 00:46:00,479 --> 00:45:55,819 you know we'll be dealing with anvil 1053 00:46:10,779 --> 00:46:04,870 that sounds good I do that to ya hope I 1054 00:46:14,620 --> 00:46:10,789 answered your question James thanks 1055 00:46:16,449 --> 00:46:14,630 James Dean Florida today Danna obviously 1056 00:46:18,099 --> 00:46:16,459 these are all quite important but to 1057 00:46:19,809 --> 00:46:18,109 steed referenced kind of still playing 1058 00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:19,819 catch-up after or of three I wondered 1059 00:46:24,609 --> 00:46:22,089 and we've talked for a long time about 1060 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:24,619 getting the steady cadence as best we 1061 00:46:28,059 --> 00:46:26,930 can with both providers and so just 1062 00:46:30,549 --> 00:46:28,069 wondered if you can maybe kind of state 1063 00:46:34,269 --> 00:46:30,559 the obvious on how important it is 1064 00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:34,279 especially now when you're limited to 1065 00:46:39,039 --> 00:46:36,880 one provider commercial provider and 1066 00:46:40,150 --> 00:46:39,049 just the importance of the flight 1067 00:46:42,759 --> 00:46:40,160 especially in under these circumstances 1068 00:46:44,170 --> 00:46:42,769 and and honza just also want to ask 1069 00:46:47,079 --> 00:46:44,180 since we're at KSC if you might be able 1070 00:46:49,509 --> 00:46:47,089 to update where you're at on 39a and and 1071 00:46:52,839 --> 00:46:49,519 the potential timing of anything Falcon 1072 00:46:54,339 --> 00:46:52,849 Heavy related yeah the cadence is 1073 00:46:56,439 --> 00:46:54,349 important right we've kind of said that 1074 00:46:58,930 --> 00:46:56,449 we need to get into this drumbeat of 1075 00:47:01,180 --> 00:46:58,940 flights I I think we're all feeling 1076 00:47:04,089 --> 00:47:01,190 pretty confident and orbitals ability to 1077 00:47:06,459 --> 00:47:04,099 to get it get get back in gear and in 1078 00:47:09,309 --> 00:47:06,469 the November time period I think they've 1079 00:47:11,349 --> 00:47:09,319 done it just a tremendous job with how 1080 00:47:13,469 --> 00:47:11,359 they've gone from you know October to 1081 00:47:16,539 --> 00:47:13,479 where they're going to be here shortly 1082 00:47:18,699 --> 00:47:16,549 you know and so does that put additional 1083 00:47:22,449 --> 00:47:18,709 pucker factor on some of these missions 1084 00:47:25,059 --> 00:47:22,459 we have fun the answer is yes we have 1085 00:47:27,370 --> 00:47:25,069 some pretty important spares we have on 1086 00:47:30,249 --> 00:47:27,380 SpaceX six we have a couple sidra beds 1087 00:47:33,099 --> 00:47:30,259 that seizures are carbon dioxide 1088 00:47:34,870 --> 00:47:33,109 scrubber so we want to get the two new 1089 00:47:36,759 --> 00:47:34,880 ones up during the doc mission we want 1090 00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:36,769 to be able to hopefully find the crew 1091 00:47:41,799 --> 00:47:38,569 time to should replace those and bring 1092 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:41,809 those home we have we talked about the 1093 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:44,130 water processor a little bit early 1094 00:47:49,460 --> 00:47:45,690 right and trying to get our eighty 1095 00:47:52,430 --> 00:47:49,470 percent we always like to have a spare 1096 00:47:54,110 --> 00:47:52,440 on the shelf and we had we would have 1097 00:47:57,380 --> 00:47:54,120 been there and so there's a couple areas 1098 00:47:59,870 --> 00:47:57,390 with the orb 4 or 3 loss where we've 1099 00:48:02,660 --> 00:47:59,880 dipped below that and so there's a 1100 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:02,670 little bit of a catch up between SpaceX 1101 00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:05,490 six and SpaceX seven that will get our 1102 00:48:12,460 --> 00:48:08,160 sparing situation kind of behind us for 1103 00:48:14,990 --> 00:48:12,470 for the critical regenerative ecosystem 1104 00:48:19,190 --> 00:48:15,000 okay we have time for one last question 1105 00:48:21,470 --> 00:48:19,200 in the back of the room I'm I'm Morgan 1106 00:48:23,870 --> 00:48:21,480 Turner from NASA social my question is 1107 00:48:25,940 --> 00:48:23,880 for Dan and Hans it's just a bit of a 1108 00:48:28,580 --> 00:48:25,950 general question about the innovation of 1109 00:48:29,810 --> 00:48:28,590 Dragon and the other crafts I know that 1110 00:48:31,790 --> 00:48:29,820 you were just saying that sea water 1111 00:48:35,090 --> 00:48:31,800 corrosion is a big problem is there a 1112 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:35,100 way that you actively develop new new 1113 00:48:40,070 --> 00:48:37,650 crafts or you just build upon that that 1114 00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:40,080 the current model and just like build 1115 00:48:43,430 --> 00:48:41,760 off of its functionality or do you just 1116 00:48:48,410 --> 00:48:43,440 completely develop something different 1117 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:48,420 on the side while you're using that you 1118 00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:50,850 want to take that I get an oz over your 1119 00:48:56,660 --> 00:48:53,490 commercial crew vehicle right but 1120 00:49:00,530 --> 00:48:56,670 whenever we learned on Dragon folded 1121 00:49:03,230 --> 00:49:00,540 into a crew dragon clearly and there's 1122 00:49:05,510 --> 00:49:03,240 also one ongoing improvements on cargo 1123 00:49:09,410 --> 00:49:05,520 dragon itself and keeping it watertight 1124 00:49:11,630 --> 00:49:09,420 what to see you brother it's it's 1125 00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:11,640 detailed work and you got to be careful 1126 00:49:16,700 --> 00:49:14,640 when you make those changes that nothing 1127 00:49:18,050 --> 00:49:16,710 gets affected by it negatively so it's 1128 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:18,060 just it's just the process we going 1129 00:49:21,620 --> 00:49:19,650 through I don't think it's I wouldn't 1130 00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:21,630 really call it a huge problem at the end 1131 00:49:25,430 --> 00:49:23,040 of the day the main the main mission 1132 00:49:28,430 --> 00:49:25,440 caliber up cargo down power the entire 1133 00:49:32,540 --> 00:49:28,440 time and temperature correct humidity 1134 00:49:34,940 --> 00:49:32,550 correct nice environment we are we 1135 00:49:37,910 --> 00:49:34,950 fulfill those one hundred percent and 1136 00:49:40,070 --> 00:49:37,920 the the reusability is kind of goal that 1137 00:49:43,430 --> 00:49:40,080 we want to be pursuing it particularly 1138 00:49:45,710 --> 00:49:43,440 lon of course as it's really very much 1139 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:45,720 into reusability he sees that as a key 1140 00:49:51,740 --> 00:49:49,050 to to lowering launch costs and and 1141 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:51,750 space operation costs basically and 1142 00:49:55,460 --> 00:49:52,890 makes perfect sense if you think about 1143 00:49:58,569 --> 00:49:55,470 this so it's a long-term goal that we 1144 00:50:03,079 --> 00:50:01,069 alright thank you all very much for 1145 00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:03,089 coming we look forward two morrow to the 1146 00:50:08,870 --> 00:50:05,730 successful launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 1147 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:08,880 and Dragon on crs six our NASA 1148 00:50:13,730 --> 00:50:10,410 television coverage begins at three 1149 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:13,740 thirty p.m. eastern time as does our 1150 00:50:18,710 --> 00:50:16,530 launch blog for the launch which is 1151 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:18,720 scheduled to the second at four thirty 1152 00:50:24,170 --> 00:50:21,410 three and 15 seconds p.m. eastern time 1153 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:24,180 between now and then please keep track 1154 00:50:28,910 --> 00:50:26,010 of everything that's happening on social 1155 00:50:31,789 --> 00:50:28,920 media by following us at NASA and at 1156 00:50:35,569 --> 00:50:31,799 SpaceX and also following the hashtags 1157 00:50:39,980 --> 00:50:35,579 is escargot and ISS and of course you
