1
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:02,869
all right guys

2
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:04,400
we are ready

3
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:07,040
to close the transfer

4
00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:09,120
hatches we wanted to say goodbye and

5
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:14,629
bringing home today

6
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,960
two wonderful crew members

7
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,640
scott and mikhail

8
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:21,119
so thank you so much to everyone for

9
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:45,990
also thank you to the mission control

10
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,239
centers in moscow and in houston

11
00:01:04,710 --> 00:00:52,480
and good luck guys

12
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,870
and some quick words from the soyuz

13
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:08,960
commander sergey volkov who's bringing

14
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:11,360
the two one-year crew members home first

15
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:12,960
and then yuri malenchenko there on the

16
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,080
left just

17
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:16,320
also offering his congratulations in his

18
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:17,600
thanks to

19
00:01:21,749 --> 00:01:19,600
the three getting ready to depart the

20
00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:21,759
international space station again scott

21
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,320
kelly and mikhail kornigenko

22
00:01:29,550 --> 00:01:26,880
wrapping up 340 days on board the

23
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:29,560
orbiting laboratory for sergey volkov

24
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:32,159
181 he's going to be commanding the

25
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,520
soyuz craft

26
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:35,280
through tonight's activities and the

27
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,640
descent back down to earth

28
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,720
but definitely a pretty significant

29
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,799
moment for the departing year-long crew

30
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:44,240
members who have been on board the

31
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:46,159
international space station since march

32
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:49,200
27th of last year so

33
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:51,040
obviously very big steps for them to now

34
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:53,520
depart what's been their home for the

35
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:56,000
last roughly 12 months and i'll get

36
00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,000
ready to make their way back down to

37
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:00,880
earth it's gravity their families and

38
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,710
and now once the hatches get closed

39
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:18,879
we'll stand by for the official hatch

40
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:21,680
closure time and a location of the

41
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:41,350
and again there's two hatches to close

42
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:44,160
there's one on the soyuz craft itself

43
00:03:26,949 --> 00:02:47,519
and one on the station side as well

44
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,910
sergey volkov doing one final wipe down

45
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:31,120
of the

46
00:04:05,589 --> 00:03:33,040
ceiling ring around the

47
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:08,149
and with that yuri malenchenko sealing

48
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:20,710
visiting vehicle officer reporting team

49
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:23,120
the telemetry the hatch is closed at 3

50
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:37,030
and undocking has occurred 7 02 p.m

51
00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,720
central time

52
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:40,320
802

53
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,880
p.m eastern time while the station was

54
00:04:48,030 --> 00:04:44,880
flying just over the eastern part of

55
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,040
mongolia so the soyuz tm

56
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:50,880
tma-18m spacecraft undocked from the

57
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,120
international space station mikhail

58
00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:55,600
kornienko scott kelly sergey volkov on

59
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,070
is illuminated

60
00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:08,390
in eight seconds they will work

61
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:09,759
eliminate

62
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,280
counterclockwise yes

63
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:17,919
this readiness is eliminated crystal one

64
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:20,960
is not good so as not

65
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:23,680
and if we will work it on

66
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:26,720
and the first separation burn occurring

67
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:28,720
you can see the thruster firings there

68
00:05:48,310 --> 00:05:30,960
on the soyuz craft kelly kononenko and

69
00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,749
the visiting vehicle officer here in

70
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:51,919
houston confirming the second burn has

71
00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:54,080
begun

72
00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:56,319
is shifting

73
00:06:10,710 --> 00:05:57,759
to the right

74
00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:11,749
there you can see the orbiting

75
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:14,720
laboratory and full view from the camera

76
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:16,880
on board the soyuz craft which

77
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,560
again undocked from the space facing

78
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:20,479
side so getting a great look straight

79
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:25,830
the eight we're going

80
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:28,880
spacecraft right now just over the

81
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:33,280
very far eastern part of russia about to

82
00:07:07,189 --> 00:06:36,800
well north of the sea of japan

83
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:23,270
hmm

84
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:33,589
can you see the earth yes

85
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:36,390
from just under an hour ago as the soyuz

86
00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,080
spacecraft was descending under

87
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:40,400
parachute you can see the thick cloud

88
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:42,319
cover and the overcast sky but a

89
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:43,840
beautiful light

90
00:07:51,029 --> 00:07:46,800
the soyuz landing just a few hours after

91
00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:53,510
this again a recorded view from one of

92
00:08:11,909 --> 00:07:55,199
the russian search and recovery

93
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:14,869
and so at this stage the soyuz capsule

94
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,840
was well under its main parachute a

95
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:19,759
massive parachute designed to slow the

96
00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:22,080
soyuz down from a descent rate of 80

97
00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:25,039
meters per second to just 7.2

98
00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:27,039
the parachutes being

99
00:08:31,749 --> 00:08:29,120
initially opened at an altitude of about

100
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:31,759
6.6 miles

101
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:34,880
you can see the capsule descends upright

102
00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,959
occasionally will land and roll over on

103
00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:38,719
its side but in this case the capsule

104
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:42,000
landed upright so made things easy for

105
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:54,070
again you can see the thick cloud layer

106
00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:55,120
on the

107
00:09:01,269 --> 00:08:58,320
lower deck that the soyuz pass through

108
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:01,279
before it's landing it's actually fairly

109
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:02,240
similar

110
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,240
to the landing just one year ago in

111
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:06,720
march when nasa astronaut butch wilmore

112
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:09,440
touched down in kazakhstan through some

113
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:11,040
fairly thick clouds out of the search

114
00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:13,360
and recovery forces finding the soyuz

115
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,080
today much quicker though getting to

116
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:18,399
kelly kononenko and volkov in a very

117
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:20,240
expedited fashion

118
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,640
all three crew members out of the soyuz

119
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:24,480
within 30 minutes

120
00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:27,040
so definitely getting some favorable

121
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:29,839
weather uh march usually one of the most

122
00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:31,040
dynamic

123
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,880
in terms of weather one of the most

124
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,240
difficult

125
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,640
when it comes to soyuz landings so this

126
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:38,720
of the three comfortable chairs that are

127
00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:41,120
set up in front of the cameras uh you'll

128
00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:49,509
and we're standing by we can see the

129
00:10:08,710 --> 00:09:52,399
crew members back any idea who it is yet

130
00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:10,550
scott kelly

131
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:20,949
we got a great view of him now uh the

132
00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:22,800
folks here in mission control houston

133
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:26,079
letting out a very big cheer scott kelly

134
00:10:32,069 --> 00:10:29,120
as you just said returned after 340 days

135
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:32,079
in space nasa's one-year crew member

136
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:33,760
conducted a lot of very important

137
00:10:37,990 --> 00:10:36,320
research back down on mother earth back

138
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:38,000
down in kazakhstan where he launched

139
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:40,399
from just about 12 months ago

140
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,550
and back over at the capsule we can see

141
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:48,720
uh mikhail kornienko the other one-year

142
00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:50,880
crew member outside the capsule getting

143
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:02,630
and then

144
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:05,440
kelly absolutely relishing the fresh air

145
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:07,120
out here

146
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:09,279
in the mid-morning hours here in the

147
00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:11,920
southern step of kazakhstan

148
00:11:18,150 --> 00:11:14,000
breathing deeply enjoying every second

149
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,790
and we just saw mikhail kornienko go

150
00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:22,720
down the slide he's getting carried over

151
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:25,839
so he'll be joining you shortly as well

152
00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:28,399
so with that all three crew members out

153
00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,120
of the soyuz capsule safely

154
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:33,519
down there on the step in kazakhstan

155
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:47,509
you're asking everyone to step back

156
00:11:51,430 --> 00:11:49,030
and we're seeing a big

157
00:11:53,829 --> 00:11:51,440
smile from scott kelly there you can see

158
00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:53,839
just to his right steve gilmore

159
00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:55,839
scott's prime flight surgeon for his

160
00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:57,920
year in space

161
00:12:02,470 --> 00:12:00,000
no stranger to cold landings in

162
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:02,480
kazakhstan this is his fourth mission

163
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:05,360
his second landing in a soyuz

164
00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:09,120
520 total days in space across his uh

165
00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:11,839
space flight career 340 days in this

166
00:12:17,829 --> 00:12:17,030
and then scott just looked at us and

167
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:17,839
said

168
00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:19,760
the airfield is great out here i have no

169
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:27,269
with uh temperatures hovering right

170
00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:29,600
around freezing i imagine you guys are

171
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,279
thankful for your jackets but for

172
00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:33,680
somebody who hasn't uh had the breeze on

173
00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:36,079
his face for have an opportunity

174
00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:39,120
to undergo about an hour to an hour and

175
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:41,920
a half worth of fuel testing uh which is

176
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:44,160
the first uh critical biomedical

177
00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:47,760
measurement of uh all of their uh

178
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:50,079
all of their biomedical functions uh

179
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,000
that will be the initial test of their

180
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:54,880
response to a gravity environment for

181
00:12:59,670 --> 00:12:57,440
the first time in a year

182
00:13:04,870 --> 00:12:59,680
while we exercise there on a regular

183
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,350
is kelly with a satellite phone in his

184
00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:08,959
hand

185
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:10,000
assuming

186
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:11,120
making a

187
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:22,150
would you like to

188
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:23,920
hold an apple

189
00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:35,269
let's move there uh at scott's front you

190
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:37,600
