1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,670 and the vehicle now on internal power 2 00:00:10,150 --> 00:00:08,070 like you one everything there goes the 3 00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:10,160 first umbilical tower marking just about 4 00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:12,160 t minus 35 5 00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:14,320 should be under 30 seconds away from 6 00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:29,990 initiated auto sequence initiated 7 00:00:35,110 --> 00:00:32,399 command issues for ignition 8 00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:35,120 second arm retracting launch command 9 00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,079 issued you can see the engines firing 10 00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:40,640 ramping up 11 00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,280 edges of maximum thrust the turbo pumps 12 00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:45,120 are at flight speed 13 00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:51,510 and liftoff jeff williams alexia opting 14 00:01:04,710 --> 00:00:54,160 and oleg skripochka launching to the 15 00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:06,469 the first stage of the 16 00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:10,159 soyuz booster delivering 930 000 pounds 17 00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:12,080 of thrust from the four strap-on 18 00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:18,789 first stage going to be burning liquid 19 00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,720 fuel for the first two minutes and six 20 00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:22,640 seconds into the flight 21 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:30,950 see the crew on board again alexiochine 22 00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:33,520 in there in the center seat 23 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:35,840 getting good reports of first stage 24 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:37,680 functioning throughout the launch so far 25 00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:40,880 just one minute since liftoff 26 00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,640 there we can see nasa astronaut jeff 27 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,479 williams this his third ride on the 28 00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,799 soyuz spacecraft getting ready for his 29 00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:48,560 fourth flight into space's third long 30 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:51,759 duration mission on board the station 31 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:53,360 the crew on board the so you still doing 32 00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:55,680 well keep your eye on that owl should 33 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,399 start floating uh in just a few seconds 34 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:00,240 actually 35 00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:06,240 expecting separation as zero zero 35 27 36 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,150 and you can see the jolt the third stage 37 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:14,480 has now separated the single 38 00:02:18,910 --> 00:02:16,319 liquid-fueled engine shut down and 39 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:18,920 dropping away in an altitude of about 40 00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:22,560 125 statute miles 41 00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,120 the third stage performs an avoidance 42 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:27,280 maneuver by opening a valve in its 43 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:34,710 michigan 44 00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:51,030 how was separation nominal in time as 45 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:52,000 kids 46 00:02:56,869 -->

00:16:48,069 --> 00:16:46,320 the power of a pre-dawn launch of a 129 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:48,079 soyuz vehicle dan 130 00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:50,399 your thoughts as you watched the 131 00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:52,560 trio take a flight to the station and 132 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:54,399 the significance of this launch yeah it 133 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:56,639 was spectacular rob especially 134 00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,320 after the weeks of effort that they had 135 00:17:01,829 --> 00:17:00,240 to do to get this vehicle ready with all 136 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:01,839 the wind conditions that they have the 137 00:17:05,909 --> 00:17:03,600 pad teams did such a tremendous job to 138 00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:05,919 prepare for it to see that launch and 139 00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:07,120 see the crew on their way to the 140 00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:08,799 international space station arriving in 141 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,959 about five and a half hours from now was 142 00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:12,880 a tremendous speed the space station 143 00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:14,400 itself has already maneuvered itself 144 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,959 into some docking orientation in support 145 00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:19,199 of this uh the docking it'll take place 146 00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:21,120 and it'll be great to get us back to a 147 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,439 complement of six on board the station 148 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:26,160 now once that crew is back to a half 149 00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:27,919 dozen on board 150 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,760 how about the volume of work that lies 151 00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:31,440 ahead here in the weeks and months ahead 152 00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:33,280 sure they're going to be extremely busy 153 00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:35,120 the pace of vehicles coming to the space 154 00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:36,799 station won't slow down until about the 155 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:38,480 mid-april time period 156 00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:40,320 we have an orbital launch out of ksc 157 00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:42,960 here in the next few days uh called 158 00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:45,440 orbital atk 6 carrying a full load of 159 00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:47,520 cargo and a couple of payloads that 160 00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:50,000 actually will support station will do a 161 00:17:52,630 --> 00:17:51,360 lot of transfers onto the station and 162 00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:52,640 once it leaves they'll they have a 163 00:17:55,830 --> 00:17:53,600 couple more payloads that they'll 164 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:55,840 perform we also have a progress launch 165 00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:57,760 on the 31st of this month and then 166 00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,919 spacex will get their their vehicle off 167 00:18:05,110 --> 00:18:01,679 the ground probably the first week of 168 00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:05,120 april and uh in it is a 169 00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:06,799 an inflatable module that will install 170 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:08,720 on the space station and at the same 171 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:10,880 time we'll have both the spacex mission 172 00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,960 or the spacex dragon and the orbital 173 00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:14,720 cygnus attached to the space station at 174 00:18:18,549 --> 00:18:16,720 the same time that will be a first and 175 00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:18,559 then from another commercial aspect with 176 00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:20,240 this inflatable module on the side of 177 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,160 the node it kind of really shows that 178 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:24,320 we're to we're starting to really put 179 00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:25,840 some focus on the commercialization of 180 00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:28,720 space station 181 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:30,720 bill gerstenmaier nasa's associate 182 00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:32,640 administrator for human exploration bill 183 00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:34,880 the russians have pulled off a trifecta 184 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:37,440 their third launch in six days soyuz 185 00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:39,200 headed to the station the importance of 186 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:41,360 this launch all of this activity and 187 00:18:45,270 --> 00:18:43,679 what lies ahead for the station yeah 188 00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:45,280 just a tremendous amount of activity 189 00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:47,120 here at the cosmodrome the three 190 00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:48,960 launches in this short period of time is 191 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,960 just absolutely amazing 192 00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:52,480 even this much getting the vehicle on 193 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,160 the pad with the high winds and having 194 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,480 to stand down for a day to continue with 195 00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:58,320 the operations was just a really 196 00:19:02,549 --> 00:19:00,799 testament to how serious the russians 197 00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:02,559 treat this business how serious and 198 00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:04,240 focused they are just like all of us are 199 00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:06,160 in spaceflight you know when you start 200 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:07,919 thinking things are easy then you get in 201 00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:09,520 trouble so that just a tremendous 202 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:10,880 concentration 203 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:12,160 this flight really kicks off a 204 00:19:15,909 --> 00:19:13,919 tremendous increment on board station 205 00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:15,919 lots of research lots of cargo vehicles 206 00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:17,440 lots of activity on board the space 207 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:19,600 station so we'll potentially get to see 208 00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:21,280 very soon a 209 00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:23,440 cygnus launch a progress launch and a 210 00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,760 spacex launch in in a very short order 211 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:27,919 of time so just as the cosmodrome just 212 00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:29,679 did these multiple launches you'll see 213 00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:31,200 multiple dockings on board the space 214 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:33,520 station but it's really not the dockings 215 00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:35,120 it's not the launches it's the research 216 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:36,799 behind that so these spacecraft are 217 00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,880 bringing a tremendous amount of research 218 00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:40,799 when we increase our crew size to six 219 00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:42,720 just the research tempo will pick up so 220 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:44,720 just an exciting time on space station 221 00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:46,400 essentially enabled by this wonderful 222 00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:48,080 beautiful launch we got to see today in 223 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:49,760 kazakhstan 224 00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:50,640 bill 225 00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:53,039 in the background of the drama of these 226 00:19:56,310 --> 00:19:54,960 launches themselves sometimes it's 227 00:19:58,870 --> 00:19:56,320 forgotten about the strength of the 228 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:58,880 international partnership 229 00:20:03,190 --> 00:20:01,200 was how is that exhibited today and what 230 00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:03,200 was pulled off and what lies ahead in 231 00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:04,880 the weeks to come 232 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,960 again i just see a tremendous 233 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:08,960 cooperation between us and our russian 234 00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:11,679 partners up at the state commission uh 235 00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:14,000 natalia corley of uh karlev's daughter 236 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,840 was there and she talked to the crew and 237 00:20:20,070 --> 00:20:17,280 addressed the crew and talked to them as 238 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:20,080 an international crew and she said you 239 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:22,559 know her father sergey pavlich 240 00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:24,000 if he would have been here he would have 241 00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:25,840 been proud of seeing this international 242 00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:28,240 team coming together so when i see her 243 00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:29,679 reflect that and think about the 244 00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:31,039 wonderful things that have come from 245 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:32,880 this cooperation that that her father 246 00:20:36,870 --> 00:20:34,480 could have never imagined when he was in 247 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:36,880 the middle of racing the u.s to space 248 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:38,880 now we're going hand in hand to space as 249 00:20:42,630 --> 00:20:40,880 a team and and she sees that and she 250 00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:42,640 recognizes how special and wonderful 251 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:45,120 this is so it was really touching to see 252 00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:45,840 her 253 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:47,760 do that and bring that memory forward 254 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:48,960 it's also exciting to see this 255 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:50,880 expedition kick off and and what we do 256 00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:52,960 today i don't know what it'll bring us 257 00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:54,480 in the future but we're essentially 258 00:20:57,909 --> 00:20:56,240 planting seeds of international 259 00:20:59,590 --> 00:20:57,919 cooperation that through the challenge 260 00:21:01,830 --> 00:20:59,600 of space flight will grow into something 261 00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:01,840 amazing that we will not see for decades 262 00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:03,600 so i can't wait to see what will come in 263 00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:06,080 the future is as she looked back and let 264 00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:07,200 me see 265 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:08,960 her excitement of the international crew 266 00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:11,280 getting ready to go fly so cooperation 267 00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:13,600 is important we don't do this as a team 268 00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:15,280 we have to do this as a team we have to 269 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,960 all work together we can't do this 270 00:24:18,789 --> 00:21:19,120 individually and today was an example of 271 00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:32,950
