novitskiy 4 00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:16,640 the final farewells before the hatch 5 00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:17,920 will be closed 6 00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:20,640 and expedition 50 will begin its final 7 00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:44,229 uh 8 00:00:48,069 --> 00:00:46,310 this is mission control carl joff once 9 00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:48,079 again uh 10 00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:49,840 you're looking at the hatchway between 11 00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:52,640 the poisk module and the soyuz mso2 12 00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:55,840 spacecraft soyuz commander 13 00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:57,520 sergey rizhikov 14 00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:59,120 there in the field of view running 15 00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:00,559 through the procedures 16 00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:02,079 wiping down 17 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,760 the hatch to make sure there's no 18 00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:05,680 foreign object debris 19 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,560 that would create any issues with a 20 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,080 solid leak check 21 00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:12,400 once we get to that here a short time 22 00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:14,479 from now 23 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:16,560 we're standing by for the actual closure 24 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:18,400 of the hatch the crew 25 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:21,360 inside the soyuz having said farewell 26 00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:23,520 to the three remaining crew members on 27 00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:45,350 and the hatch on the soyuz ms02 is now 28 00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:47,040 closed 29 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,240 the soyuz was placed on autonomous power 30 00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:52,479 about an hour or so ago 31 00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:54,079 all of its systems are reported in 32 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,040 excellent shape and now uh 33 00:02:01,510 --> 00:01:58,880 oleg novitskiy is in the process of 34 00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:01,520 closing the poisk hatch 35 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:04,399 again 7 45 a.m 36 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,560 moscow time 11 45 pm central time the 37 00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:11,200 soyuz hatch closed and now the poisk 38 00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,720 module 39 00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:14,640 hatch has been closed one and a half 40 00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,879 minutes later so both hatches are now 41 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,879 closed setting the stage for the 42 00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:20,720 undocking of the soyuz 43 00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:22,400 from the international space station 44 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:25,360 with the undocking scheduled at 2 57 am 45 00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:29,440 central time just a few hours from now 46 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:30,879 the international space station 47 00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,120 currently flying over southwest china 48 00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:35,280 moving from southwest to northeast and 49 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,920 in orbit inclined 51.6 degrees to either 50 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:39,599 side of the equator 51 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:41,840 we are ready to reset the station 52 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:44,640 mechanical contact is not illuminated 53 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:46,800 the physical separation confirmed right 54 00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,840 on time 55 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,680 at 257 56 00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,680 and 30 seconds 57 00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:53,120 central time 58 00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:00,640 seconds eastern time the soyuz mso2 59 00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:02,159 backing away from the international 60 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,879 space station expedition 51 61 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:06,959 now officially underway on board the 62 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:13,110 i'm ready to send the command 63 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:15,120 copy 64 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,959 we have selected the command 65 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:21,200 about a minute and a half from now 66 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,000 at the 3 a.m central time 67 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,640 that will uh initiate the 68 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,720 small opening rate 69 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,400 it's it's going to be an eight second 70 00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:32,879 burn about a half a meter per second 71 00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:35,280 opening rate you can see the soyuz as it 72 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:38,000 slowly backs away from the poisk module 73 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,680 the space-facing side of the russian 74 00:03:43,810 --> 00:03:41,440 segment of the international space 75 00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:43,820 station 76 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:59,190 a good view of the engine firing on the 77 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,480 soyuz vehicle 78 00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:02,959 an eight second burn this is the first 79 00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:05,680 of two separation burns to increase the 80 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:08,080 opening rate by about a half a meter per 81 00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,390 so the soyuz is on its way 82 00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:20,239 it will uh take 83 00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:22,720 about an orbit and three quarters for it 84 00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:25,680 to reach its uh separation distance from 85 00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:27,759 the international space station 86 00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:30,800 for the soyuz deorbit burn which is a 87 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,520 much 88 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:33,360 more substantial firing of the engines 89 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:35,919 that will be a four minute 38 second 90 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,400 retrograde firing a braking maneuver to 91 00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:41,040 slow the soyuz down by 128 meters per 92 00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:48,629 [Music] 93 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:55,510 once again the soyuz mso2 undocked on 94 00:05:02,950 --> 00:04:58,560 time at 2 57 and 30 seconds am central 95 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:02,960 time this morning has begun to back away 96 00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:05,199 at a consistent rate 97 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:07,199 to a safe distance away from the 98 00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:09,919 international space station next major 99 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,080 milestone will be the deorbit burn that 100 00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:14,639 will be a four minute 38 second breaking 101 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,390 this spectacular video of the descent of 102 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:23,120 the soyuz mso2 under its main parachute 103 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,360 flight controllers have relayed up to 104 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,360 alec novitskiy aboard the international 105 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:29,520 space station that everything is going 106 00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:31,280 perfectly and that the crew is in 107 00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:47,510 the spectacular video you're watching uh 108 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:49,520 indicative of 109 00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:52,560 the proximity of the search and recovery 110 00:05:58,390 --> 00:05:56,319 forces to the landing site itself 111 00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:58,400 meaning we're expecting almost a precise 112 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,600 bullseye touchdown for the soyuz mso2 113 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:03,840 landing scheduled about 114 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:27,670 [Applause] 115 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:31,670 remember to locate your elbows 116 00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:38,220 we have eight hundred 117 00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:00,469 as you can see 118 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,120 a pair of uh russian mi8 helicopters 119 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:05,759 flying in front of the long range camera 120 00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:07,759 that is tracking uh the final moments of 121 00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:10,400 the flight of the soyuz ms02 122 00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:12,800 which was launched atop a soyuz booster 123 00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:14,240 from the baikonur cosmodrome in 124 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:21,110 crew uh now bracing for touchdown that 125 00:07:25,610 --> 00:07:22,240 is coming up 126 00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:25,620 within the minute 127 00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:45,270 and touchdown is now confirmed 128 00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:49,280 touchdown confirmed at 6 20 and 35 129 00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:52,160 seconds am central time 130 00:07:57,909 --> 00:07:55,919 7 20 and 35 seconds a.m eastern time 131 00:07:59,830 --> 00:07:57,919 the soyuz spacecraft has touched down 132 00:08:01,830 --> 00:07:59,840 you saw it all the way down 133 00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:01,840 almost from the start of the parachute 134 00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:07,430 it appears as if the soyuz was dragged 135 00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,960 onto its side 136 00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:10,639 we'll confirm that in a moment or two 137 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:13,759 but again the soyuz safely back on earth 138 00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:16,240 touchdown confirmed at 6 20 and 35 139 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:18,319 seconds am central time 140 00:08:29,430
