congratulations to our our spacex team

21
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:48,160
from hawthorne to mcgregor to the folks

22
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:49,840
here at the cape they did just a

23
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:51,280
tremendous job

24
00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,879
getting the vehicle prepared after the

25
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:54,719
weather delay yesterday

26
00:01:00,069 --> 00:00:57,280
as mentioned it was just a spectacular

27
00:01:01,349 --> 00:01:00,079
launch and everything looks to be on

28
00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:01,359
track

29
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:05,199
for now a with a launch today a grapple

30
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,080
and

31
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,960
eventual birth to the to our node 2 on

32
00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:10,799
the international space station

33
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:13,680
on friday morning at 6 a.m houston time

34
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,560
so

35
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,320
we're looking forward to that the crews

36
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:18,159
uh completely trained ready to go

37
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:21,280
systems onboard the iss uh are ready to

38
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:23,840
to receive uh receive the dragon

39
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,240
and then once we uh once we birth we'll

40
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:28,159
take a day another day for hatch opening

41
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:29,840
and then we will get on with our with

42
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,400
our research program uh there's over 40

43
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,119
experiments on this mission uh directly

44
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:37,520
related to uh the the one year studies

45
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:40,320
that we've been conducting and so the

46
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:42,640
teams are ready to go our payload folks

47
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:44,320
in huntsville alabama have done a great

48
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,960
job in getting prepared for this our

49
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,720
principal investigators for all these

50
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,640
experiments are ready to go and so we

51
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:52,640
look forward to the delivery

52
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:54,560
on on friday morning

and with that i'll turn it over to hans

54
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,560
and give you a status of

55
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,880
falcon and dragon performance all right

56
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:02,799
thank you very much and uh

57
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:05,840
thanks dan so uh i'm i'm super happy

58
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,840
it's a good launch and i would like to

59
00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:10,319
thank a couple folks the ground team

60
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:13,440
that did awesome over the last 24 hours

61
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:15,520
and over the entire integration time

62
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,400
launch control team was was great

63
00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:20,720
the whole vehicle responsible engineer

64
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:23,040
team that works those launches just

65
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:25,120
performed flawless and awesome the

66
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:27,840
entire countdown was very quiet there

67
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:30,879
was basically nothing to

68
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:34,160
work on it was automated completely and

69
00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:35,920
very little chatter on the nets and

70
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,599
everything was just

71
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:39,440
rolling down and special thanks to the

72
00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:44,150
i'm

73
00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:45,920
after yesterday and these pretty

74
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:47,840
dramatic uh

75
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:51,440
three minutes before liftoff hold

76
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:53,920
it was a lot better today

77
00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:55,120
and

78
00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:57,599
okay falcon 9 did great from what i can

79
00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,640
tell

80
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:00,959
just looking at the the console

81
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:02,800
shutdown velocities were right on the

82
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:03,840
money

83
00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:07,840
the velocity is right and typically the

84
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:10,319
uh the orbit is right too

85
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:11,840
um

86
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:14,640
the one thing that was uh different or

87
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,040
new this time was we stayed the camera

88
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:18,959
from the second stage stayed on dragon

89
00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,319
so you could see

90
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,959
the uh solar array the covers go away

91
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,799
and then you could see the solar arrays

92
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:26,239
unfold

93
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:27,760
and another say oh yeah there it is

94
00:03:31,589 --> 00:03:30,080
actually that is such a phenomenal

95
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:31,599
picture

96
00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:36,470
and in the past we turned the vehicle

97
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:38,400
away just before that so uh this time we

98
00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:39,599
fixed that and

99
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,519
have really good uh good pictures of the

100
00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:43,760
solar array and dragon deploying these

101
00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:46,239
solar rays from what i hear dragon is in

102
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:47,519
perfect shape

103
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:49,599
um

104
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:52,159
going towards the station the orbit race

105
00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:54,799
burns coming up basically the

106
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:57,439
gnc door openings coming up shortly so

107
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,200
from from what i heard on the way up

108
00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:02,319
here everything is just just working

109
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:03,439
fine and

110
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:05,200
nothing

111
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,589
yeah

112
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:11,519
i can

113
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,710
totally not important after the primary

114
00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:20,239
objective which is to

115
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,199
provide food and cargo and science to

116
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,440
the iss which is the

117
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,160
big thing the landing uh on the drone

118
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,800
ship um we seem to have landed a little

119
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:31,919
bit too hard

120
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:32,720
um

121
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,960
there's the vehicle coming in so that's

122
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:36,880
i'm always amazed by that because on one

123
00:04:42,150 --> 00:04:38,320
side we see it going off here and then

124
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:42,160
we see it you know 200 miles further

125
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:45,280
somewhere else on a on a drone ship that

126
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:47,199
sits in the middle of the ocean we see

127
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:51,360
it coming down so uh it came down and it

128
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:53,600
landed apparently a little bit too hard

129
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:55,199
i saw three

130
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:56,880
two frames basically and then that was

131
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,720
the end of it so we're still looking at

132
00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:00,639
data we need to analyze what happened

133
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:02,639
looking at the data um

134
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:04,800
itself quickly i heard that everything

135
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:06,720
seemed to be fine so it's not quite

136
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:10,960
clear what happened but um it's it's uh

137
00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:13,759
so certainly uh

138
00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:15,919
needs more work in the next next couple

139
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:18,080
missions which by the way the the next

140
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:21,680
attempt would be then on on cs7

141
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:23,039
um

142
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:25,280
other than that that was pretty much all

143
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:26,479
i had

144
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:28,160
all right thank you hans we'll be happy

145
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:30,000
to take questions now um

146
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:31,840
please wait for the microphone state

147
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,080
your name and affiliation and to whom

148
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,160
you're addressing the question

149
00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:38,560
and we'll begin with marcia dunn marcia

150
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,880
done associated press regarding the

151
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:42,639
secondary mission um do you think you'll

152
00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:44,240
be able to recover any of the boost or

153
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,759
have you heard whether there is anything

154
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:47,919
left to be gotten the there's a crew

155
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:50,240
boat but it's standing away from the

156
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,400
drone ship for safety

157
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:54,560
and they are what i heard is they're on

158
00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,000
the way it

159
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,880
might take a while one two three maybe

160
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:00,479
two and a half hours to get there i'm

161
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:02,800
guessing a little bit and then they can

162
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:04,840
see what happened

163
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:07,840
um by the time i left we didn't have

164
00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:10,880
data so i couldn't see what's on the

165
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:13,440
drone ship itself um

166
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,400
but i'm

167
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:16,160
pretty sure there will be something to

168
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:17,120
recover

169
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:21,670
ken

170
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,120
universe today um for dan um talk a

171
00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:29,120
little bit first about what a relief it

172
00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:31,039
is that this is successful you has a

173
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:33,199
have a single string only to orbit so

174
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:34,560
that's got to be a great relief talk

175
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,479
about that the second thing is you

176
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:38,080
talked a little bit about i'd like you

177
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:39,360
to talk a little bit about the future

178
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:40,639
missions you already talked about the

179
00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:43,440
docking adapters on uh spacex7 tell us a

180
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,080
little bit else what's going on spacex7

181
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:48,240
as well as i think that the beam is

182
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:50,240
going up on the spacex eight talk about

183
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:52,080
what's coming up the rest of the year on

184
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,880
these spacex flights thank you sure um

185
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:56,400
let's see the first part of the question

186
00:07:01,270 --> 00:06:58,880
oh single string you know we're

187
00:07:03,029 --> 00:07:01,280
we are single string until we get uh our

188
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:03,039
orbital team back and find in the

189
00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:04,560
november time period you know we do have

190
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:07,360
the htv vehicle we just did have an atv

191
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:09,520
vehicle come and go and so you know

192
00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:11,280
single string in the commercial side yes

193
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:13,440
but we do have other other ways to get

194
00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:17,039
cargo to orbit we do at times share and

195
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:19,039
get some cargo up on progress vehicles

196
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:20,160
and so

197
00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,080
there's there's multiple ways to to to

198
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:24,319
get cargo up but it is certainly nice to

199
00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:25,840
to get these behind us

200
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:27,599
with you know 2 000

201
00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:29,759
kilograms of cargo going up as far as

202
00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:31,759
future missions

203
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:33,199
spacex

204
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,880
do plan to fly the beam

205
00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:40,240
that is

206
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:41,840
i want to say in the september time

207
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:44,000
period we are working with the bigelow

208
00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:45,599
folks now on

209
00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:48,000
how we're going to deploy the the module

210
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,319
on node 3 aft

211
00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:52,400
when it gets there

212
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,639
we'll inflate it we'll do some crew

213
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:56,800
tended work inside of it but they have a

214
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,240
lot of instrumentation that they're

215
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,160
trying to to determine how this

216
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:02,080
inflation inflation rate is going to

217
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:03,360
happen and

218
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:04,560
it'll be a tremendous learning

219
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:06,720
experience for them uh the payload that

220
00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:08,000
we

221
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:09,840
had on

222
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:12,000
this mission was called cream which is a

223
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:13,360
cosmic ray

224
00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:15,680
exploration that will be

225
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:17,360
get back into

226
00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:19,280
the fold to go fly

227
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:21,120
there's some

228
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:23,599
i want to say stratospheric

229
00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:25,599
gaseous experiment called the sage i'm

230
00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:26,879
trying to remember what the acronym

231
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:28,800
stands for that will go up

232
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:31,039
here in the next few missions as well

233
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,800
we have a muses payload that's a

234
00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:34,719
commercial endeavor that'll go on the

235
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:37,839
outside on the elc and it'll accommodate

236
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:39,279
numerous

237
00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:41,200
external payloads as well so

238
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:43,519
uh our cargo i mean the trunk will be

239
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:47,200
full uh as far as we envision um but

240
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:48,880
that gives you a feeling for some of the

241
00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,160
signs we'll be flying on those missions

242
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:54,399
uh hunts are there any um

243
00:08:58,150 --> 00:08:56,320
with the beam in the trunk are there any

244
00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,160
particular um

245
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:00,160
actions special actions you have to take

246
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:03,040
or is that pretty straightforward i

247
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:08,470
yeah i don't i don't know

248
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:10,160
so that's a basically a three latch

249
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:12,000
system the beam the beam sits in the

250
00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:13,920
trunk we you know the spacex will

251
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:15,839
uncommand the latches uh the arm will

252
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:17,920
grab it pull it out and then we move it

253
00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:20,480
right over to uh note 3 aft

254
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:23,519
for the deployment

255
00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:24,640
jason

256
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:27,680
insider.com i've got a couple of months

257
00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,200
the first one is

258
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:31,519
compared to the last landing attempt uh

259
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,560
we know that you guys are going to try

260
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:34,240
to walk it in and learn gain more data

261
00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:37,920
which with each flight um

262
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:40,240
did we see a step forward in terms of

263
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:42,160
landing on with this one and i have one

264
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:44,000
other question absolutely

265
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:45,760
i mean um

266
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,600
the uh

267
00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:49,440
well the last language one do you that

268
00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:51,120
the second blending we can't really

269
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,959
compare because there was no no barge

270
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:54,320
there and you just have the data and on

271
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:56,240
the data it looked great

272
00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:59,200
but um targeting the batch is

273
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:00,959
more challenging of course and then on

274
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,160
the first one um we we had

275
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:06,320
the fin issues so we fixed we fixed that

276
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:07,360
and

277
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,680
more accurately this time from what i

278
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:13,360
can tell but again i need to look at

279
00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:15,360
data we need to work work this out and

280
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:16,079
uh

281
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:19,120
and figure out how much better we did

282
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:20,640
uh second question now you said that

283
00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:21,680
everything was right on the money the

284
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:22,880
numbers were right aligned to what you

285
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:24,480
expected now for a lot of us been

286
00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,800
following falcon 9 flights it almost

287
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:28,240
seemed like the falcon took a little

288
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:29,760
longer to get off the pad and into the

289
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,360
sky this time around is that just a

290
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:33,279
perception of a fault of our perception

291
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:36,000
or was it a little slower going uphill i

292
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,519
don't think so i don't think it was

293
00:10:40,710 --> 00:10:39,600
heavier than normal um i actually don't

294
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:40,720
see it

295
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,120
so so you see more than i do i look i

296
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:45,360
look at screens and data and from from

297
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,240
that it looked perfectly nominal i mean

298
00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:50,160
yeah

299
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:51,440
james

300
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:55,040
just recap the

301
00:11:00,550 --> 00:10:58,079
some of the basic numbers of the uh the

302
00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:00,560
booster flyback how high did it come

303
00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:02,560
down from how about what was its peak

304
00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:04,560
you know velocity that it that it just

305
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:06,640
decelerated from and um you know

306
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:08,160
approximately how far down range would

307
00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:10,640
you say it was or off the coast so it

308
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:13,920
was about 212 miles out out there

309
00:11:16,389 --> 00:11:14,880
and

310
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:16,399
the boost back burn

311
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:18,320
um

312
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:21,760
brings the uh the the apogee down to 125

313
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:22,959
kilometers

314
00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,040
so it's not it's actually not very well

315
00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:27,040
this is pretty high but um if you would

316
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:28,959
let it go it would go higher basically

317
00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:32,240
huh so it reduces that um the entry

318
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:35,040
velocity is uh

319
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:37,760
i think in uh in q alpha and and dynamic

320
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:40,480
pressure not in nothing velocity so it's

321
00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:43,440
it's a it's a medium number three four

322
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:45,200
if i recall this correctly

323
00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:47,440
so um

324
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,079
and uh

325
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:52,320
the from what i can tell the burns were

326
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:54,399
all right on time which tells me that

327
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:55,920
the mission

328
00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:57,120
moves on

329
00:12:02,550 --> 00:11:59,600
nominally because the vehicle decides on

330
00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:02,560
its own when it burns it has a certain

331
00:12:06,629 --> 00:12:04,959
certain criteria that it needs to comply

332
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:06,639
with height and

333
00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:09,200
velocity and when i see the burn going

334
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:10,560
right on the money with the time

335
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:12,320
basically the timeline then i know that

336
00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:14,320
the mission is is progressing very

337
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:15,920
accurately from what i could tell during

338
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:17,760
the mission it looked like right on the

339
00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,680
money from from that perspective but a

340
00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:21,279
lot of that is uh

341
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:22,639
need to go back and look at the here i

342
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,720
basically i basically

343
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:26,480
saw what happened and then i ran out and

344
00:12:30,389 --> 00:12:29,360
jumped in the car and drove over here so

345
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:30,399
sorry

346
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:32,959
so spacex7 is the next attempt i

347
00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:34,079
wondered if you could just run through

348
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:36,480
your manifest between now and then um

349
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:39,839
you were i think targeting 24th for

350
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:41,760
the next yeah

351
00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:44,160
is on on the um

352
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:46,720
april 24. is that still even despite

353
00:12:51,030 --> 00:12:49,040
your just you know one day slip here or

354
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:51,040
scrub yeah that's just that should still

355
00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:53,040
uh still be fine okay and and what comes

356
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:55,760
after that and after that comes cr7

357
00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:57,839
actually uh pat

358
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:00,480
paddleboards if you count that too about

359
00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:02,560
falcon 9 and the cr7 is the next one

360
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:03,519
then

361
00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:04,720
and the numbers are you know the numbers

362
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:05,680
are now

363
00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:08,000
flipped around the next one is falcon 9

364
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:10,079
17 and then

365
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:13,760
cs7 is 920

366
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:17,200
because falcon 919 goes from anywhere

367
00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:19,440
thanks

368
00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:20,959
okay in the back

369
00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:22,959
hi john klein with nasa social my

370
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,320
question is also for

371
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:26,720
hans um i'm fascinated by the secondary

372
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:29,360
objective as you have more experiences

373
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:32,240
where the landing of the of that

374
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:35,120
booster isn't quite right are you

375
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:37,120
less optimistic about the total number

376
00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:38,560
of recoveries you'll have when the

377
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:41,519
system is working at its best capacity

378
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:43,600
or will you be

379
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:45,600
i'm pretty sure we figure this out and

380
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:47,839
and make it work on the barge and it's

381
00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:50,240
just a matter of

382
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:52,000
finding the right parameters finding the

383
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:53,920
right method to do this i don't think

384
00:13:57,509 --> 00:13:55,760
there's something fundamental

385
00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:57,519
and at the end of the day i mean at the

386
00:14:02,470 --> 00:13:58,880
end of the day you want to land on land

387
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:02,480
anyway so this is uh

388
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:03,760
i want to say it makes it a little bit

389
00:14:11,509 --> 00:14:09,269
all right

390
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:11,519
hello japanese newspapers are your meal

391
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:14,720
a question for hans uh can i have a

392
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:17,360
very basic number of

393
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:19,600
fast stage of falcon 9

394
00:14:23,350 --> 00:14:21,760
toll on the diameter and

395
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:23,360
weight

396
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:26,240
when it's landing

397
00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:28,720
diameter is 12 feet

398
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,150
around 60 to 70 000 pounds

399
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:39,189
oh um the whole thing is 180 feet

400
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:45,269
i think it's 130 140 feet it should be

401
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:47,120
in the press code actually

402
00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:48,560
we don't have

403
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:53,509
uh

404
00:14:56,829 --> 00:14:55,360
oh okay well it should be between 130

405
00:14:59,430 --> 00:14:56,839
140 feet i

406
00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:59,440
think okay i never saw this i never look

407
00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:00,880
at the stages alone i forgot the whole

408
00:15:05,509 --> 00:15:04,389
okay

409
00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:05,519
um

410
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:09,839
question about uh increasing the crew

411
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:12,320
size we talked a little bit about that

412
00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:13,680
um

413
00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:17,199
the commercial crew and obviously it's

414
00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:18,480
not going to happen on the very first

415
00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:20,880
flight when when do you envision

416
00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:23,680
increasing the crew size from from six

417
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:25,839
to seven how many how many commercial

418
00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:27,600
crew flights do we have to have before

419
00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,680
that happens

420
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:31,360
okay there's some demonstration flights

421
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:34,000
that will take uh take place in the

422
00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:37,279
late seventeens um and so early eighteen

423
00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:39,519
is when we're kind of planning for

424
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:42,000
jumping our crew size up

425
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:43,920
from a crew size of three on the usos

426
00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:46,000
side to a crew size of four which then

427
00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:47,600
effectively doubles our research

428
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:49,519
capability at that time

429
00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:51,279
explain a little bit about why that

430
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:53,440
doubles the research time by increasing

431
00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:55,839
just one crew member sure well it's it's

432
00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:58,240
effectively that right the the amount

433
00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:00,880
the we know how to maintain and do the

434
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:03,040
systems work uh on the station with a

435
00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:04,240
crew of three

436
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:07,199
and do 35 hours per week

437
00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:09,040
and so simply adding the extra crew

438
00:16:13,990 --> 00:16:11,440
member we don't envision uh putting any

439
00:16:15,749 --> 00:16:14,000
additional you know task on that i'm not

440
00:16:17,269 --> 00:16:15,759
saying we'll name people

441
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:17,279
payload specialists or anything like

442
00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:20,240
that um but just the free the amount of

443
00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:22,240
time freed up that can be used for for

444
00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:24,240
research versus what we've learned over

445
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:26,639
the last 10 years or so on what it takes

446
00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:28,320
for transfer of cargo what it takes for

447
00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:29,920
maintenance of the vehicle we think

448
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,240
that's very achievable

449
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:34,160
thank you

450
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:36,160
stuartmoney interspace.net and my

451
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:39,279
question is for hans um could you assess

452
00:16:43,110 --> 00:16:41,120
approximately what amount of fuel

453
00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:43,120
reserve might have been on board if

454
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,320
everything had gone well with the

455
00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:46,959
landing attempt in other words how many

456
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:48,639
seconds of hover

457
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:50,320
potentially we're still in the tanks

458
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:53,279
it's not a lot it's a few seconds

459
00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:54,800
at the order of two or three seconds

460
00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:59,509
and that also is of course tricky

461
00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:00,959
because if you know you run your car

462
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:03,040
down to the fuel that you need in two or

463
00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:09,750
this one's for dan uh real quick can you

464
00:17:14,069 --> 00:17:12,240
tell us with uh crs6 here i mean excuse

465
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:14,079
seven eight and what was what other

466
00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:15,919
experiments besides beam and some of the

467
00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:17,360
other payload so we can expect to see it

468
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:19,679
take to orbit soon um

469
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:21,120
i don't have the specific list in front

470
00:17:25,029 --> 00:17:22,959
of me i can tell you for the next uh i

471
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,039
think sick we started with six seven

472
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:27,520
eight and nine for sure we planned to to

473
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:29,280
keep on flying the animals for animal

474
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:30,559
research

475
00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:32,480
i believe on spacex9 we're going to also

476
00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:33,760
include

477
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,480
some research from jaxa in in that same

478
00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:38,880
area of animal research

479
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,559
um

480
00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:42,240
i'd have to go back and look i'm sure

481
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:43,679
there's some additional experiments that

482
00:17:46,549 --> 00:17:45,520
were flying for fluid shifts to to

483
00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,559
support

484
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:48,480
the human research and in the in the

485
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:50,320
one-year increment

486
00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:52,240
that we plan to do but we we can

487
00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:54,480
certainly get those plans are in place

488
00:17:58,390 --> 00:17:56,240
uh probably all the way out to spacex

489
00:18:00,630 --> 00:17:58,400
nine uh to the end of the year and we

490
00:18:03,909 --> 00:18:00,640
can make that available through mike

491
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:03,919
yeah okay all right uh

492
00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:05,600
there's a question for hans

493
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:07,919
um yet again uh what are your thoughts

494
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:09,919
on the recent ula reusability

495
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:11,120
announcement

496
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:15,600
um i mean this is me personally it's

497
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:17,039
basically and uh

498
00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:18,640
i've

499
00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:20,080
i think there's some development work

500
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:22,000
they need to do and

501
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:23,440
they need to go through this and then we

502
00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,440
see how it works

503
00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:26,960
i don't know i mean i just think it's a

504
00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:32,310
you'll see in the end uh it's just i

505
00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:33,200
mean

506
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:34,480
i don't want to judge it i saw it it

507
00:18:38,630 --> 00:18:36,080
started briefly and you know i was busy

508
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:38,640
with the the launch preparations

509
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:40,960
so i don't really pay too much attention

510
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:43,760
to other vehicles and other companies at

511
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:45,760
that time

512
00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:47,200
sorry

513
00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:48,880
okay one more question here and then

514
00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:51,120
we'll wrap it up hi

515
00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:53,120
hi uh enzo vito embry riddle prescott

516
00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:55,679
nasa social this question is for hans

517
00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:58,799
are there any uh plans to uh

518
00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:01,039
reuse the dragon capsule

519
00:19:05,750 --> 00:19:04,160
on multiple crs missions

520
00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:05,760
is there any research doing on that

521
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:06,880
right now

522
00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:08,400
well there's

523
00:19:11,669 --> 00:19:10,000
we look we look into can we use

524
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,679
component can we use parts of the the

525
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:13,280
dragon capsule and we talked about this

526
00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:16,880
um during the pre-launch conference too

527
00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:18,320
it's basically work and progress at this

528
00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:20,559
point in time

529
00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:26,950
okay

530
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:28,400
that's uh

531
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,080
we're gonna call it a wrap after a very

532
00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:32,240
successful day and uh the dragon

533
00:19:35,029 --> 00:19:33,440
spacecraft on its way to the

534
00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:35,039
international space station we will look

535
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:36,160
forward to

536
00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:38,720
nasa television coverage of grapple and

537
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,360
birthing on friday the nasa television

538
00:19:46,070 --> 00:19:43,360
coverage will begin at 5 00 a.m with

539
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:46,080
grappling expected around 7 a.m

540
00:19:49,669 --> 00:19:47,760
thank you very much for coming between

541
00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:49,679
now and then please feel free to keep up

542
00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:51,120
with all the accomplishments of the

543
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,029
spacex or www.nasa.gov

544
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:03,430
station and we will close with a replay

545
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:05,280
of today's fabulous launch thank you for

546
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:15,029
nine

547
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:16,000
eight

548
00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:17,120
seven

549
00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:18,000
six

550
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:19,039
five

551
00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:21,039
four three

552
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:22,159
two

553
00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:26,470
and liftoff

554
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:29,600
the falcon soars from its perch toward

555
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:32,000
the international space station
