00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:07,350 is not lost on the crew members 73 00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:09,330 themselves who are set to launch a short 74 00:03:13,940 --> 00:03:11,700 time from now recently during

Army took a moment to 78 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:20,760 reflect on the significance of launching 79 00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:22,410 to the International Space Station on 80 00:03:27,170 --> 00:03:24,600

that and 89 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:48,900 for us here in the same year that nASA 90 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:50,610 has laid out this very bold plan to 91 00:03:54,740 --> 00:03:51,930 return to the surface of the Moon by 92 00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:54,750 2024 as part of the Artemis program this 93 00:03:58,670 --> 00:03:57,060 is just a just a tremendous honor for us 94 00:04:00,890 --> 00:03:58,680 to be participating this way and to be 95 00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:00,900 carrying the torch forward of space 96 00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:03,000 exploration and continuing to a spot to 97 00:04:12,259 --> 00:04:05,580 inspire generations both today and 98 00:04:14,270 --> 00:04:12,269 generations in the future and for Luca 99 00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:14,280 parmitano a lieutenant colonel

weeks ago before 128 00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:35,400 the crew departed for Baikonur also 129 00:05:39,530 --> 00:05:37,950 offered his views on the significance of 130 00:05:41,690 --> 00:05:39,540 launching on this day the 50th 131 00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:41,700 anniversary of Apollo 11s landing on the 132 00:05:48,980 --> 00:05:46,740 moon I think my generation was affected 133 00:05:51,530 --> 00:05:48,990 by the Apollo program despite the fact 134 00:05:56,740 --> 00:05:51,540 that we didn't see it happening I was 135 00:06:00,860 --> 00:05:56,750 born about six years after the last 136 00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:00,870 landing but it was such a momentous 137 00:06:07,010 --> 00:06:04,440 event we change humanity forever that it 138 00:06:12,410 --> 00:06:07,020 created what I would call a collective 139 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:12,420 memory growing up I would I would see it 140 00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:16,800 in toys or reports on on TV 141 00:06:21,620 --> 00:06:18,840 documentaries I could I would hear my 142 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:21,630 parents talk about it and as a matter of 143 00:06:25,790 --> 00:06:24,090 fact for the first 10 or 12 years of my 144 00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:25,800 life I was convinced that we were still 145 00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:27,750 going to the moon I was not aware of the 146 00:06:33,890 --> 00:06:30,030 fact that we had stopped traveling to 147 00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:33,900 the moon long before I was born so it 148 00:06:38,540 --> 00:06:36,900 gave me a sense that going to the moon 149 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:38,550 and being an astronaut was something 150 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:40,290 possible despite the fact that I was 151 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:42,210 born in Sicily which is that the 152 00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:44,490 periphery of Europe far away from 153 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:47,670 anything that is aerospace related I 154 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:49,890 think he affected me more ways that I 155 00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:52,290 can describe because it gave me it gave 156 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:54,990 me that sense of possibility which is 157 00:07:00,910 --> 00:06:57,930 what I would like to communicate when I 158 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:00,920 talk to students and young kids that 159 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:06,210 things are possible that was Luca 160 00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:08,370 parmitano who was board

often describe myself as a 429 00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:24,530 soldier a physician and an astronaut the 430 00:31:35,090 --> 00:31:32,990 one of the earliest memories I have is 431 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:35,100 of always wanting to be in the military 432 00:31:39,110 --> 00:31:37,290 of wanting to be a soldier quite a 433 00:31:42,050 --> 00:31:39,120 history of military service in our 434 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:42,060 family both of my grandparents my my 435 00:31:46,430 --> 00:31:44,490 father was an Air Force officer and I 436 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:46,440 also remember my parents telling me a 437 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:48,690 story about my great uncle Clank Perry 438 00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:50,970 McClintock who was a paratrooper in 439 00:31:55,490 --> 00:31:52,620 World War two he was in the 101st 440 00:31:57,650 --> 00:31:55,500 Airborne Division and jumped at Normandy 441 00:31:59,930 --> 00:31:57,660 on d-day and then jumped in operation 442 00:32:01,610 --> 00:31:59,940 Market Garden in Holland and that was 443 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:01,620 the first time I had ever heard of the 444 00:32:05,330 --> 00:32:03,450 concept of a paratrooper or what it 445 00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:05,340 meant to be an airborne soldier so when 446 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:07,800 I later decided and graduated in high 447 00:32:12,110 --> 00:32:10,410 school and I went to West Point I knew 448 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:12,120 that I was very interested in this 449 00:32:15,650 --> 00:32:14,130 concept of being an airborne soldier at 450 00:32:18,110 --> 00:32:15,660 West Point they had a parachute team 451 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:18,120 called the Black Knights yes I made the 452 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:21,330 parachute team and and that became one 453 00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:22,890 of the central activities of my 454 00:32:27,860 --> 00:32:24,600 remaining three and a half years at West 455 00:32:29,810 --> 00:32:27,870 Point in addition to academics after 456

football games also 459 00:32:38,450 --> 00:32:35,970 while I was a cadet I went through 460 00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:38,460 military basic airborne course which 461 00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:41,430 taught military static lines parachuting 462 00:32:46,010 --> 00:32:43,710 specifically the parachute aspect of it 463 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:46,020 if I go back to the time when I was a 464 00:32:51,500 -->

skilled in the 470 00:33:05,150 --> 00:33:02,820 aircraft skilled in the air our lives 471 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:05,160 depended on each other to do safety 472 00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:06,450 checks of each other that type of 473 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:08,910 camaraderie is something that I feel now 474 00:33:13,610 --> 00:33:11,250 in the astronaut corps with my astronaut 475 00:33:15,250 -->

00:40:36,020 --> 00:40:33,510 earlier in this broadcast and inspired 652 00:40:37,579 --> 00:40:36,030 by the Apollo missions drew Morgan 653 00:40:39,770 --> 00:40:37,589 described the significance and the 654 00:40:42,020 --> 00:40:39,780 symbolism of his cruise expedition 60 655 00:40:45,530 --> 00:40:42,030 crew patch during a recent crew news 656 00:40:47,839 --> 00:40:45,540 conference 60 patch there are elements 657 00:40:50,540 --> 00:40:47,849 of that hatch that commemorate the 658 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:50,550 Apollo 11 moon landing you are familiar 659 00:40:55,190 --> 00:40:52,560 with the Apollo 11 patch bears some 660 00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:55,200 resemblance rather than the moon in the 661 00:40:57,410 --> 00:40:56,310 foreground we have the earth in the 662 00:41:00,349 --> 00:40:57,420 foreground and the moon in the 663 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:00,359 background and the El constellation for 664 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:01,650 the fifty years and then the Eagle 665 00:41:06,020 --> 00:41:03,930 constellation and just like the Eagle in 666 00:41:07,970 --> 00:41:06,030 the Apollo 11 patch so you know the 667 00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:07,980 patch designers and the crew came 668 00:41:10,849 --> 00:41:09,089 together and really thought this was a 669 00:41:12,770 --> 00:41:10,859 great idea and very similar to the 670 00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:12,780 Apollo 11 patch of course there are no 671 00:41:16,579 --> 00:41:14,849 names represented on this patch which 672 00:41:19,790 --> 00:41:16,589 was an important element for us as well 673 00:41:21,859 --> 00:41:19,800 that to really embody that sense that 674 00:41:27,770 --> 00:41:21,869 this was an accomplishment of the world 675 00:41:29,210 --> 00:41:27,780 and not one single country and we're 676 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:29,220 back with our live coverage of the 677 00:41:33,859 --> 00:41:31,290 launch of Morgan parmitano and supports 678 00:41:35,420 --> 00:41:33,869 off and of course on the launch pad at 679 00:41:39,650 --> 00:41:35,430 the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan 680 00:41:41,870 --> 00:41:39,660 the Soyuz ms-13 stands on the floodlit 681 00:41:45,349 --> 00:41:41,880 launch pad with liftoff scheduled just 682 00:41:48,829 --> 00:41:45,359 under 14 minutes from now the Soyuz 683 00:41:50,710 --> 00:41:48,839 rocket stands 162 feet tall weighs six 684 00:41:53,660 --> 00:41:50,720 hundred eighty thousand pounds and 685 00:41:56,150 --> 00:41:53,670 consists of the Soyuz ms-13 inside a 686 00:42:00,290 --> 00:41:56,160 protective shroud at the top and the 687 00:42:03,829 --> 00:42:00,300 three-stage Soyuz FG booster below the 688 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:03,839 Soyuz spacecraft that will take our trio 689 00:42:08,690 --> 00:42:06,930 of crew members to orbit today was mated 690 00:42:11,420 --> 00:42:08,700 to its booster and the three main stages 691 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:11,430 were joined together on Wednesday just 692 00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:14,640 24 hours later on Thursday the soyuz 693 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:17,250 rocket began its trek to the launch pad 694 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:19,770 right on time at 7 a.m. Baikonur time 695 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:22,650 maintaining tradition arriving less than 696 00:42:27,140 --> 00:42:24,930 two hours later where it was raised to 697 00:42:30,620 --> 00:42:27,150 its vertical position for final 698 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:30,630 pre-launch preparations the Soyuz is now 699 00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:32,370 of course poised for launch with its 700 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:34,710 three crew members on board the Soyuz 701 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:36,570 spacecraft sitting high above the three 702 00:42:41,350 --> 00:42:39,330 stages of the Soyuz booster which uses 703 00:42:46,850 --> 00:42:41,360 kerosene and liquid oxygen as the 704 00:42:48,740 --> 00:42:46,860 propellant at engine ignition the Soyuz 705 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:48,750 as engines will come up to flight speed 706 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:51,090 the launch pad hold down arms will 707 00:42:57,350 --> 00:42:53,490 retract and the booster rocket will be 708 00:42:59,450 --> 00:42:57,360 on its way the first stage engines and 709 00:43:02,000 --> 00:42:59,460 liquid fuel strap-on boosters will burn 710 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:02,010 for about one minute 58 seconds as the 711 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:04,050 Soyuz arcs out to the northeast from the 712 00:43:07,730 --> 00:43:06,090 Baikonur cosmodrome on a trajectory 713 00:43:09,650 --> 00:43:07,740 designed to catch up to the 714 00:43:12,350 --> 00:43:09,660 International Space Station six hours 715 00:43:15,170 --> 00:43:12,360 later just before first stage separation 716 00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:15,180 the vehicles launch escape tower will be 717 00:43:19,580 --> 00:43:17,730 jettisoned followed seconds later by the 718 00:43:22,820 --> 00:43:19,590 jettisoning of the four strap-on 719 00:43:24,890 --> 00:43:22,830 first-stage boosters about a half minute 720 00:43:26,830 --> 00:43:24,900 later the clamshell fairing around the 721 00:43:29,810 --> 00:43:26,840 upper stage of the booster will separate 722 00:43:31,940 --> 00:43:29,820 exposing the Soyuz ms-13 for the first 723 00:43:34,940 --> 00:43:31,950 time as the Soyuz continues its Trek 724 00:43:36,740 --> 00:43:34,950 uphill the second stage of the Soyuz 725 00:43:39,770 --> 00:43:36,750 rocket will burn until the four minute 726 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:39,780 57 second mark when the third stage will 727 00:43:43,970 --> 00:43:41,850 ignite a so-called hot stage technique 728 00:43:46,460 --> 00:43:43,980 that precedes the separation of the 729 00:43:49,310 --> 00:43:46,470 second stage the third stage will 730 00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:49,320 continue to fire until eight minutes 45 731 00:43:53,510 --> 00:43:51,240 seconds after launch when it too will 732 00:43:56,540 --> 00:43:53,520 shut down leading to Soyuz spacecraft 733 00:43:59,060 --> 00:43:56,550 separation that will be followed within 734 00:44:01,820 --> 00:43:59,070 seconds by the deployment of the soyuz 735 00:44:04,670 --> 00:44:01,830 MS 13 solar arrays and navigational 736 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:04,680 antennas at this point the soyuz in its 737 00:44:08,450 --> 00:44:05,970 three-man crew will be in its 738 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:08,460 preliminary orbit for this chase to 739
