on-time launch at 8 59 central time 9 59

55
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:46,400
a.m eastern time this morning the

56
00:04:04,309 --> 00:03:48,560
mission director today in dulles is paul

57
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:05,910
it's a special time for the

58
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:08,080
international space station on october

59
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,680
31st the three-member crew expedition

60
00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:13,599
one crew of william shepherd yuri

61
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:16,639
gadzenko and sergey krikalev arrived

62
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,079
launched to the international space

63
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:20,880
station and on this day 19 years ago

64
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:22,560
they arrived to the international space

65
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:25,440
station beginning 19 years of continuous

66
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:37,909
during an on-time launch today the

67
00:04:41,909 --> 00:04:39,440
international space station will be

68
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:41,919
flying over the south atlantic southwest

69
00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:44,560
of cape town south africa at an altitude

70
00:04:49,670 --> 00:04:48,240
of 257 statute miles

71
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,680
but down here on the ground and as you

72
00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:51,520
can see in this picture mostly clear

73
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:53,919
skies actually totally clear skies and a

74
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,080
little over 40 degrees fahrenheit

75
00:05:00,070 --> 00:04:57,840
expecting nice and clear conditions

76
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,080
throughout the rest of the morning

77
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:02,240
there is a zero percent chance of any

78
00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:16,390
cygnus will arrive to the international

79
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:18,639
space station after a two-day journey

80
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:21,039
and it will make its way to the unity

81
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:22,800
module on the earth-facing side of the

82
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:31,350
astronauts aboard the station will use

83
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:34,000
the canadarm2 to reach out and grapple

84
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:36,000
the spacecraft once it reaches its

85
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:37,360
grapple point

86
00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:39,360
jessica meer will be the capture lead

87
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,600
for that morning and she'll be backed up

88
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,199
by christina cook

89
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,039
nasa astronaut drew morgan will monitor

90
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:47,120
cygnus systems during the final stage of

91
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,870
once astronauts have captured the

92
00:05:56,469 --> 00:05:54,720
vehicle they'll turn controls back over

93
00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,479
to teams here on the ground where the

94
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:58,479
robotics officer will use the canada arm

95
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,720
too to reposition the spacecraft and

96
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:02,639
bring it up toward the unity module and

97
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:05,600
birth it with the space station

98
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:07,520
crew will access the cargo later that

99
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:08,319
day

100
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:10,000
and cygnus will remain attached until

101
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:13,120
january 13 2020 when it will depart the

102
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:15,280
space station but not return to earth

103
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:17,520
just yet it will complete some satellite

104
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,520
deployments and additional objectives

105
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:21,600
before burning up upon re-entry into

00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:46,240
morning let's take a look at what is on

111
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:47,680
cygnus

112
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:50,000

113
00:06:53,110 --> 00:06:51,680
thousand two hundred pounds will be

114
00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:53,120
launching to the space station this

115
00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:55,280
morning that's over one thousand seven

116
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,680

who's joined us this morning so can you

145
00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:57,040
tell us a little bit more about your

146
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,000
role

147
00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:00,320
sure um as the anterior systems

148
00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:02,079
engineering and integration test

149
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,839
engineer

150
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:05,600
program manager my role is to provide

151
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:07,600
systems engineering leadership to

152
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:09,200
efficiently and

153
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:11,120
reliably execute and terry's cargo

154
00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,480
resupply mission to the international

155
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,240
space station

156
00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:16,320
my team and i work to increase the focus

157
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:19,680
on clear requirements development

158
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:21,680
interface design testability and

159
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:23,440
verification

160
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:24,880
the system engineering is an important

161
00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:28,160
role to antares as we actually get to

162
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:29,600
you know interface with all the

163
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:30,959
different engineering disciplines

164
00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:33,120
through across the program

165
00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:35,920
and we do this to ensure that we are

166
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:38,079
always in compliance with our customers

167
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:39,920
requirements and their needs throughout

168
00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:48,790
that's great so there are some

169
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:51,600
differences uh with this launch that we

170
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,440
have we saw this before on northrop

171
00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:55,120
grumman 11 um but we're seeing it again

172
00:10:59,430 --> 00:10:56,880
on north dakota 12.

173
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:59,440
the late load option for for cargo on

174
00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:00,880
cygnus can you tell us a little bit more

175
00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:02,240
about that

176
00:11:06,949 --> 00:11:04,320
sure one of the unique features of the

177
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,959
antares 230 plus vehicles that we have

178
00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:08,720
built new specialized ground support

179
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,399
equipment that allows us to take the

180
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:12,240
vehicle from vertical

181
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:14,800
um to horizontal this allows us to kind

182
00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:16,320
of drive what we call a mobile cleaning

183
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,079
room right up to the pad as you see that

184
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:20,720
there in the graphic and uh this allows

185
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:22,399
us to um

186
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,200
uh

187
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:25,279
remove the pop top fairing um we can't

188
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:26,480
see it there in the picture but there's

189
00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:28,720
actually a pop top on top of the fairing

190
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:31,120
that comes off and we're able to load

191
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:33,279
time sensitive research experiments and

192
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:35,519
other perishable items that nasa needs

193
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:39,040
to provide 24 hours prior to launch

194
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:41,200
i'd also like to note a key flexibility

195
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,360
feature added to the crs-2

196
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:45,040
which is the ability for nasa to

197
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:47,440
significantly alter the final cargo load

198
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:49,120
by up to 20 percent

199
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:51,680
as late as the 24 hour hours before

200
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:54,560
liftoff and uh you can't see it here too

201
00:11:58,230 --> 00:11:55,920
but there's a bladder that inflates

202
00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,240
between the um between that little

203
00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:00,240
opening there and the fairing and that

204
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:02,240
inflates to uh close the gap between the

205
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,680
clean room and wall so that everything

206
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:05,760
that goes in and out is protected

207
00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:07,440
it's very interesting and i understand

208
00:12:11,829 --> 00:12:10,079
this is not the only difference for this

209
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:11,839
flight this is the first flight of the

210
00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,720
antares 230 plus rocket so what are some

211
00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:16,639
of the differences between 230 which

212
00:12:24,629 --> 00:12:22,310
oh

213
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:24,639
sure so the ng-12 is the first flight of

214
00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:27,279
the antares 230 plus configuration and

215
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:29,920
the difference from antares 230 are the

216
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:32,160
upgrades to the stage one core

217
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:34,000
um it's also lighter composite

218
00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:36,399
structures and an optimized second stage

219
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:37,760
mortar

220
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:39,440
the upgraded stage one core allows

221
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:41,200
antares engines to perform at full

222
00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:42,639
thrust throughout most of their first

223
00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:45,440
stage profile

224
00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:47,600
uh with these upgrades where we're able

225
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:50,399
to offer nasa more cargo capability for

226
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,399
their crs-2 missions by increasing the

227
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,480
performance of antares we're also

228
00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:56,320
providing more flexibility for the final

229
00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:58,720
cargo load as well and and this figure

230
00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,720
you can everyone can see is the

231
00:13:04,069 --> 00:13:02,320
differences and you can see um in

232
00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:04,079
comparison how much we've kind of taken

233
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:06,000
off and there's definitely lots of math

234
00:13:10,629 --> 00:13:08,320
savings for us for 230 plus

235
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,639
great more efficient and able to deliver

236
00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,560
more cargo so that's what everyone wants

237
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:14,560
oh yes yes and that well we'll be doing

238
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,360
that for 2 30 plus going forward

239
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:19,519
thank you so much christina we are now

240
00:13:24,629 --> 00:13:21,920
just over 17 minutes from launch of

241
00:13:28,389 --> 00:13:24,639
cygnus we'll be looking for that at 8 59

242
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:28,399
a.m central and 47 seconds 9 59 a.m

243
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:33,750
but the teams have been progressing

244
00:13:37,829 --> 00:13:35,600
smoothly throughout the morning through

245
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:37,839
some pre-launch milestones that began

246
00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:39,360
about four hours ago with pole for

247
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:41,040
readiness for the launch vehicle to be

248
00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:42,800
powered on

249
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,639
and then an hour and 20 minutes before

250
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:47,120
launch fueling began of the first stage

251
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:51,120
that's liquid oxygen and r21 kerosene

252
00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:57,110
there have been various checks

253
00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:58,720
throughout the morning

254
00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:01,040
between houston and dulles virginia to

255
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:03,279
ensure everything is on schedule and at

256
00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:05,120
the 12-minute mark before launch we will

257
00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:07,040
have a poll to proceed with the final

258
00:14:15,829 --> 00:14:14,310
everything continues to proceed smoothly

259
00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:15,839
and at five minutes before launch the

260
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:23,430
go ahead lead

261
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:27,839
f1 end level is 13 of 13.

262
00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:30,079
roger that lead core one lc countdown

263
00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:37,110
about three minutes and 30 seconds

264
00:14:41,189 --> 00:14:39,760
before launch auto sequence handoff for

265
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:41,199
terminal terminal countdown will be

266
00:14:45,590 --> 00:14:42,959
initiated and that marks the time the

267
00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:45,600
computers take over for the final steps

268
00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:54,310
uh launching bfi step 385 will be not

269
00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:58,000
required for today's operation

270
00:15:01,430 --> 00:14:59,839
we'll be coming up with our poll to

271
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:01,440
proceed with final countdown just about

272
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:23,670
and uh core one lc countdown one

273
00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:26,069
elsa's core one on

274
00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:27,839
all cygnus vehicles are named after

275
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:29,360
people who have made significant

276
00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:31,680
contributions to space flight but have

277
00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:34,160
passed away and this vehicle is named

278
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:36,000
after the late apollo and sky lab

279
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:40,000
astronaut who died on may 26 2018 at the

280
00:15:44,470 --> 00:15:42,880
age of 86 that's alan bean

281
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,480
it's very appropriate that cygnus is

282
00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:46,639
named after bean on this mission it

283
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:49,279
launches 50 years to the month after

284
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:51,279
alan bean pete conrad and dick gordon

285
00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:53,040
flew to the moon on the apollo 12

286
00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:55,600
mission in which bean became the fourth

287
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,920
human to walk on the lunar surface

288
00:16:01,829 --> 00:15:59,600
he was the lunar module pilot aboard

289
00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:01,839
intrepid with mission commander conrad

290
00:16:06,829 --> 00:16:03,199
when they landed on the moon at the

291
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:06,839
ocean of storms on november 19

292
00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:09,360
1969 four years later he commanded the

293
00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:12,079
second crude skylab mission skylab 3

294
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,440
which launched on july july 28 1973.

295
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:17,519
being owen garriott and jack luzma spent

296
00:16:22,230 --> 00:16:20,240
59 days in space aboard america's first

297
00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,240
space station

298
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:24,480
that's alan bean and we will see the

299
00:17:06,150 --> 00:16:26,560
cygnus named after him flying very

300
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:16,069
cmdlc countdown one

301
00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:19,750
and cmd lc countdown one

302
00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:21,919
cmd countdown one go ahead yeah cmd look

303
00:17:26,789 --> 00:17:24,480
for status on your internal power

304
00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:26,799
yes uh cygnus is on internal power and

305
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:28,960
nominal roger the apple check 384

306
00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:53,990
and launch tmlc on countdown one at this

307
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:56,000
time on a poll to proceed with final

308
00:18:03,190 --> 00:17:57,919
countdown gso

stage one let's go mes1 mes1 is go gc

312
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:12,720
gtego

313
00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:24,310
in honor of alan bean who shared the

314
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:27,039
gift of exploration in both life and art

315
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:28,799
and inspired future generations to

316
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:30,720
travel back to the moon and beyond

317
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:33,039
northrop grumman is go

318
00:19:20,230 --> 00:18:34,640
copy and we are going to proceed with

319
00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:24,230
and ops 2 lc countdown 1 step 387 go to

320
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:34,150
engine evacuation started

321
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:35,750
you just heard the poll to proceed with

322
00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,080
the final countdown and we're also

323
00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:40,400
watching some ducting happening off the

324
00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:42,240
rocket we can't really see the antares

325
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:44,080
logo so well anymore so christina can

326
00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:45,840
you tell us a little bit about what's

327
00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:47,600
happening there

328
00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:49,600
sure you can you can see the top half of

329
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:51,520
the first stage of the vehicle is really

330
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:52,559
cold

331
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:55,039
with that cryogenic liquid oxygen the

332
00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:56,720
antares logo is almost completely

333
00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:58,400
completely obscured by ice as you can

334
00:20:01,590 --> 00:19:59,440
see there

335
00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:01,600
the evaporator process is happening so

336
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:03,280
the liquid oxygen is blowing off of its

337
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:28,230
that is super cool

338
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:37,510
so

339
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:39,430
just under 10 minutes until launch of

340
00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:41,600
antares things continuing to proceed

341
00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:43,039
smoothly throughout the countdown this

342
00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:51,350
once we get to the launch the first

343
00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:52,960
thing that will occur is the stage one

344
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:55,440
ignition

345
00:20:59,350 --> 00:20:57,280
you'll see liftoff just a few uh short

346
00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:59,360
seconds afterward and those main two

347
00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:00,720
engines will burn for about three

348
00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:02,880
minutes and 18 seconds before cutting

349
00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:04,799
off and stage one will separate from the

350
00:21:11,669 --> 00:21:09,750
cygnus will coast for a bit until

351
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:11,679
fairing separation when the external

352
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:13,280
cover that protects the spacecraft

353
00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:16,320
during launch will separate the

354
00:21:19,909 --> 00:21:17,919
interstage adapter that connects the

355
00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:19,919
first and second stages will separate at

356
00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:22,240
3 minutes and 58 seconds into flight

357
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:24,799
before stage 2 ignition a solid rocket

358
00:21:30,149 --> 00:21:26,880
fuel that will burn for 2 minutes and 43

359
00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:32,070
once the second stage burns out we'll be

360
00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:33,520
listening for the call of orbit

361
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:35,600
insertion for the rocket at 6 minutes

362
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:38,720
and 49 seconds after launch

363
00:21:42,390 --> 00:21:40,320
the vehicle will coast for two minutes

364
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:42,400
before cygnus separation 8 minutes and

365
00:21:46,390 --> 00:21:44,400
49 seconds after liftoff

366
00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:46,400
with solar array deploy occurring about

367
00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:49,760
2 hours and 53 minutes after launch

368
00:21:53,909 --> 00:21:51,919
the deployment of those two ultraflex

369
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:53,919
solar arrays currently tucked away on

370
00:21:57,909 --> 00:21:56,159
cygnus takes about 30 minutes and then

371
00:21:59,590 --> 00:21:57,919

uh same with their fms as well

530
00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:44,560
copy that lc uh they have to wait till

531
00:40:49,349 --> 00:40:46,800
they get access to the island to do that

532
00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:49,359
oh okay uh but i will let them know

533
00:40:53,030 --> 00:40:50,960
they're allowed to proceed once they get

534
00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:53,040
access roger that

535
00:40:57,510 --> 00:40:55,760
and uh ops 1 step 427 you can deactivate

will arrive in two days on november 4th

562
00:42:20,470 --> 00:42:18,480
right now we're here with christina

563
00:42:23,030 --> 00:42:20,480
helona the program manager for antares

564
00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:23,040
systems engineering integration and test

565
00:42:26,950 --> 00:42:24,880
so christina what's going on now on the

566
00:42:30,550 --> 00:42:26,960
ground and what will the teams

567
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:30,560
be doing until cygnus arrives on monday

568
00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:32,560
so the cygnus ground team will be

569
00:42:36,790 --> 00:42:34,960
monitoring the spacecraft as well as

570
00:42:38,710 --> 00:42:36,800
performing a series of orbit maneuver

571
00:42:42,069 --> 00:42:38,720
burns to arrive at the international

572
00:42:43,750 --> 00:42:42,079
space station at a certain given time

573
00:42:44,550 --> 00:42:43,760
the nasa ground team will be preparing

574
00:42:49,270 --> 00:42:44,560
the

575
00:42:50,190 --> 00:42:49,280
arrival and installation power supply

576
00:42:52,309 --> 00:42:50,200
voltage

577
00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:52,319
27.99 and we're looking forward to that

578
00:42:55,670 --> 00:42:54,960
arrival early early monday morning

579
00:42:57,990 --> 00:42:55,680
but

580
00:43:00,309 --> 00:42:58,000
looking forward to cygnus departure it

581
00:43:02,790 --> 00:43:00,319
will leave the space station in january

582
00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:02,800
2020 but it's scheduled to complete an

583
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:04,720
extended mission so what will it be

584
00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:07,520
doing during that time

585
00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:09,520
post departure from the space station

586
00:43:13,270 --> 00:43:11,280
the cygnus vehicle

587
00:43:16,069 --> 00:43:13,280
performs a series of various

588
00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:16,079
uh secondary operations along we're

589
00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:17,200
going to be launching some small

590
00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:19,040
satellites or cubesats as well as

591
00:43:23,349 --> 00:43:21,280
performing maneuvers to test vehicle

592
00:43:25,349 --> 00:43:23,359
functions eventually the vehicle will

593
00:43:27,109 --> 00:43:25,359
perform a destructive entry over the

594
00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:27,119
sovereign pacific ocean

595
00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:29,520
and also be carrying out all of the

596
00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:31,760
trash from the space station as well

597
00:43:36,710 --> 00:43:33,920
and burning up on that re-entry it's a

598
00:43:40,470 --> 00:43:36,720
very advanced way to dispose of trash

599
00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:41,829
well thank you so much for joining us

600
00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:43,520
this morning christina in just a few

601
00:43:47,589 --> 00:43:44,960
moments we'll be speaking with kenny

602
00:43:50,950 --> 00:43:47,599

mission director paul brauer is

607
00:44:02,069 --> 00:43:59,839
overseeing all of the teams who are

608
00:44:03,430 --> 00:44:02,079
monitoring the systems aboard cygnus and

609
00:44:05,670 --> 00:44:03,440
they'll be keeping a close eye on the

610
00:44:07,349 --> 00:44:05,680
vehicle over the next couple of days

611
00:44:15,109 --> 00:44:07,359
while it makes its journey to the space

612
00:44:20,829 --> 00:44:19,270
for step 442 i have all four values

613
00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:20,839
nominal in

everything that happened this morning we

623
00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:06,720
saw an on-time launch of cygnus at 8 59

624
00:45:14,710 --> 00:45:09,760
a.m central time 9 59 a.m eastern

625
00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:17,109
cygnus lifted off from nasa's wallops

flight facility in wallace island

627
00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:21,359
virginia and the mid-atlantic regional

628
00:45:32,790 --> 00:45:30,630
cygnus is carrying with it over four

629
00:45:35,030 --> 00:45:32,800
tons of cargo to the international space

630
00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:35,040
station including the last hardware

631
00:45:39,510 --> 00:45:37,119
needed for the upcoming alpha magnetic

632
00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:39,520
spectrometer spacewalks

633
00:45:50,550 --> 00:45:47,670
cygnus will arrive at the space station

634
00:45:53,270 --> 00:45:50,560
in two days that'll be monday november

635
00:45:55,750 --> 00:45:53,280
4th and we'll be live at 1 45 a.m

636
00:45:58,069 --> 00:45:55,760
central time for the capture of the

637
00:45:58,950 --> 00:45:58,079
vehicle by nasa astronauts christina

449 450

642
00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:07,359
determination of pulse purging verifying

643
00:46:12,829 --> 00:46:10,000
all sequencer activities are complete

644
00:46:15,430 --> 00:46:12,839
and transitioning occs to manual

645
00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:15,440
mode and verifying on both servers well

646
00:46:18,950 --> 00:46:16,720
can you what can you give me on those

647
00:46:37,349 --> 00:46:18,960
steps

648
00:46:37,359 --> 00:47:02,950
and gso i'll wait for your call

649
00:47:07,270 --> 00:47:05,430
it was a smooth timeline and a scent for

650
00:47:10,470 --> 00:47:07,280
cygnus this morning

651
00:47:12,069 --> 00:47:10,480
after an 8 minute and 49 second

652
00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:12,079
ride into orbit

653
00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,760
cygnus is now

654
00:47:17,430 --> 00:47:15,359
on its way to the international space

655
00:47:20,150 --> 00:47:17,440
station next milestone will be the

656
00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:20,160
unfolding of the ultraflex solar arrays

657
00:47:24,230 --> 00:47:22,319
which will help power the craft as it

658
00:48:10,870 --> 00:47:24,240
makes its journey to the orbiting

659
00:48:16,230 --> 00:48:14,390
llc this is prop lead on countdown one

660
00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:16,240
yeah go ahead properly

661
00:48:20,790 --> 00:48:18,400
yeah pulse purging with fgsc has been

662
00:48:21,750 --> 00:48:20,800
terminated all sequencer activities are

663
00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:21,760
complete

664
00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:24,720
we are in auto sorry we are manual mode

665
00:48:29,589 --> 00:48:26,880
and all auto sequence controls are

666
00:48:37,750 --> 00:48:31,990
all right i copy that prop lead thanks

667
00:48:43,030 --> 00:48:41,829
and tsolc on countdown one

668
00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:43,040
gso

669
00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:45,280
yeah let me know when launch site is

670
00:48:55,589 --> 00:48:51,829
copy uh currently fire department is

671
00:49:00,710 --> 00:48:55,599
there and red team is in route

672
00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:03,829
and is i assume then red team will be

673
00:49:08,309 --> 00:49:05,760
waiting for permission from the fire

674
00:49:10,150 --> 00:49:08,319
department to reenter uh fire department

checklist and at this time i'm gonna go

683
00:49:28,710 --> 00:49:27,440
ahead and release all stations great job

684
00:49:31,190 --> 00:49:28,720
antares

685
00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:31,200
and congratulations cygnus

686
00:49:34,630 --> 00:49:32,559
and uh

687
00:49:36,069 --> 00:49:34,640

thanks so much for the support couldn't

689
00:49:39,030 --> 00:49:37,760
have done it without you

690
00:49:40,390 --> 00:49:39,040
lc out

691
00:49:42,470 --> 00:49:40,400
stations released

692
00:49:43,829 --> 00:49:42,480
chelsea lc.p.m

693
00:52:20,630 --> 00:49:43,839
are you going to need any support from

694
00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:22,630
we are joined now by international space

695
00:52:27,270 --> 00:52:24,720
station manager for operations and

696
00:52:29,109 --> 00:52:27,280
integration kenny todd it looked like a

697
00:52:31,190 --> 00:52:29,119
nominal launch today and cygnus is on

698
00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:31,200
its way to the space station so how's

699
00:52:35,270 --> 00:52:32,640
the program feeling

700
00:52:37,349 --> 00:52:35,280
well right now it's been a very busy 24

701
00:52:38,230 --> 00:52:37,359
hours yesterday we

702
00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:38,240
we

703
00:52:42,950 --> 00:52:40,480
released the the htv the japanese built

704
00:52:45,030 --> 00:52:42,960
htv after it stayed with us for 30 days

705
00:52:47,510 --> 00:52:45,040
and then we get up this morning and to a

706
00:52:49,349 --> 00:52:47,520
picture-perfect uh launch of

707
00:52:51,670 --> 00:52:49,359
the antares rocket with the cygnus so

708
00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:51,680
we're we're excited

709
00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:53,440
the pace just picks up from here but

710
00:52:57,990 --> 00:52:55,839
we're excited and ready to go

711
00:52:59,910 --> 00:52:58,000
and this launch is also carrying the

712
00:53:01,670 --> 00:52:59,920
remainder of the tools that will be used

713
00:53:04,470 --> 00:53:01,680
during the alpha magnetic spectrometer

714
00:53:05,829 --> 00:53:04,480
spacewalks for later this month so

715
00:53:07,510 --> 00:53:05,839
can you talk maybe about what are some

716
00:53:09,589 --> 00:53:07,520
of the things that are that are going on

717
00:53:11,270 --> 00:53:09,599
board or maybe those spacewalks

718
00:53:13,109 --> 00:53:11,280
of course sure

719
00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:13,119
we've been working for the last several

720
00:53:17,910 --> 00:53:16,400
years to put together a plan to go out

721
00:53:19,349 --> 00:53:17,920
and repair the alpha magnetic

722
00:53:21,430 --> 00:53:19,359
spectrometer

723
00:53:23,750 --> 00:53:21,440
and that's led us to

724
00:53:25,670 --> 00:53:23,760
quite frankly some some ways of of

725
00:53:27,430 --> 00:53:25,680
thinking about approaching these evas

726
00:53:28,950 --> 00:53:27,440
that we hadn't ever considered before

727
00:53:31,589 --> 00:53:28,960
when it comes to our tools and the way

728
00:53:34,150 --> 00:53:31,599
we we access the work site and so it's

729
00:53:35,430 --> 00:53:34,160
going to be a challenging uh set of

730
00:53:37,589 --> 00:53:35,440
space walks right now we're thinking

731
00:53:39,750 --> 00:53:37,599
it's like four spacewalks possibly five

732
00:53:41,430 --> 00:53:39,760
but but we're leaning forward have a

733
00:53:42,630 --> 00:53:41,440
plan for four

734
00:53:44,549 --> 00:53:42,640
uh the

735
00:53:46,470 --> 00:53:44,559
the actual uh tools that we're going to

736
00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:46,480
use are going to be very unique in

737
00:53:49,349 --> 00:53:47,760
nature just because of some of the

738
00:53:51,270 --> 00:53:49,359
things we have to do with uh to get

739
00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:51,280
access into the areas that

740
00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:52,720
that we need to

741
00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:54,960
to put this new pump package that that's

742
00:54:00,069 --> 00:53:57,760
been built by the the ams consortium so

743
00:54:03,109 --> 00:54:00,079
uh we're excited to to get on board with

744
00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:03,119
these new tools uh we think that uh

745
00:54:07,430 --> 00:54:05,280
you know we have a a really really high

746
00:54:08,790 --> 00:54:07,440
probability of success uh based on all

747
00:54:09,589 --> 00:54:08,800
the work that's been done here on the

748
00:54:10,710 --> 00:54:09,599
ground

749
00:54:11,910 --> 00:54:10,720
and

750
00:54:13,589 --> 00:54:11,920
with the with the team that's put

751
00:54:15,910 --> 00:54:13,599
together these tools so again a lot of

752
00:54:18,150 --> 00:54:15,920
work that's went into it and we we feel

753
00:54:34,230 --> 00:54:18,160
pretty good about about this what i'll

754
00:54:38,150 --> 00:54:36,150
so you mentioned four space walks coming

755
00:54:40,230 --> 00:54:38,160
up in this next month month and a half

756
00:54:41,670 --> 00:54:40,240
maybe uh what is the pace look like for

757
00:54:44,630 --> 00:54:41,680
those

758
00:54:46,470 --> 00:54:44,640
well we uh you know we we we've got a

759
00:54:47,670 --> 00:54:46,480
blend of a lot of science coming on

760
00:54:49,270 --> 00:54:47,680
board right now

761
00:54:51,270 --> 00:54:49,280
you know the cygnus itself has a little

762
00:54:53,670 --> 00:54:51,280
over 8 000 pounds of cargo

763
00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:53,680
uh and over half of that about 45 4600

764
00:54:58,069 --> 00:54:55,440
pounds is dedicated to science on the

765
00:55:00,069 --> 00:54:58,079
international space station and so um

766
00:55:01,589 --> 00:55:00,079
while we're we're focused here in the

767
00:55:03,750 --> 00:55:01,599
near term on trying to get things ready

768
00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:03,760
to go do these ams evas we've also got a

769
00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:05,520
lot of science that's coming on board a

770
00:55:09,910 --> 00:55:07,760
lot of this is is time critical time

771
00:55:11,109 --> 00:55:09,920
phased science and so we're going to be

772
00:55:12,870 --> 00:55:11,119
putting together

773
00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:12,880
an integrated plan that allows us to

774
00:55:15,670 --> 00:55:14,720
conduct these ebas but at the same time

775
00:55:17,510 --> 00:55:15,680
do some

776
00:55:19,589 --> 00:55:17,520
some some high value high target

777
00:55:21,510 --> 00:55:19,599
research uh probably we have some rodent

778
00:55:22,950 --> 00:55:21,520
research that someone on it coming on

779
00:55:24,630 --> 00:55:22,960
board we also have some biology

780
00:55:25,990 --> 00:55:24,640
experiments that are coming on board

781
00:55:28,069 --> 00:55:26,000
again all that

782
00:55:30,950 --> 00:55:28,079
that uh have specific start and stop

783
00:55:33,270 --> 00:55:30,960
times uh in order to achieve the

784
00:55:35,190 --> 00:55:33,280
achieve the science objective so

785
00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:35,200
we'll uh over the next uh four to five

786
00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:36,720
weeks try to knock out

787
00:55:41,510 --> 00:55:39,280
as many of these ams ebas as we can get

788
00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:41,520
again not uh not wanting to compromise

789
00:55:45,109 --> 00:55:43,200
uh the other science objectives that

790
00:55:46,470 --> 00:55:45,119
we've we've we've got on board with the

791
00:55:49,030 --> 00:55:46,480
cygnus but

792
00:55:52,230 --> 00:55:49,040
uh once we once we get through uh these

793
00:55:55,030 --> 00:55:52,240
ams evas we'll be uh right on the on the

794
00:55:56,630 --> 00:55:55,040
doorstep of spacex the next spacex

795
00:55:59,430 --> 00:55:56,640
flight that that'll be coming our way

796
00:56:01,510 --> 00:55:59,440
and so in early december so anyway we're

797
00:56:03,349 --> 00:56:01,520
uh we're gonna be going at a pretty good

798
00:56:04,789 --> 00:56:03,359
clip here over the next few weeks uh

799
00:56:06,789 --> 00:56:04,799
we'll spend a lot of time in suits and

800
00:56:08,150 --> 00:56:06,799
checking out suits but in parallel with

801
00:56:10,230 --> 00:56:08,160
that we're going to be trying to do a

802
00:56:13,190 --> 00:56:10,240
whole lot of as i said high value high

803
00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:13,200
target research some of it aimed quite

804
00:56:16,630 --> 00:56:15,280
frankly at helping us check out some of

805
00:56:17,750 --> 00:56:16,640
the technologies and things that we're

806
00:56:19,750 --> 00:56:17,760
going to need when we go to moon and

807
00:56:20,549 --> 00:56:19,760
mars so it's a it's a pretty exciting

808
00:56:24,390 --> 00:56:20,559
time

809
00:56:25,990 --> 00:56:24,400
international space station well thank

810
00:56:27,750 --> 00:56:26,000
you so much for joining us this morning

811
00:57:19,270 --> 00:56:27,760
kenny we really appreciate it it's my

812
00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:21,030
the next milestone for cygnus will be

813
00:57:25,670 --> 00:57:23,200
solar array deploy and you can monitor

814
00:57:27,510 --> 00:57:25,680
our blog and social media sites for more

815
00:57:29,270 --> 00:57:27,520
information once that has occurred this

816
00:57:30,630 --> 00:57:29,280
morning

817
00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:30,640
after that milestone cygnus will

818
00:57:33,510 --> 00:57:31,920
continue its journey to the space

819
00:57:35,910 --> 00:57:33,520
station and will arrive on monday

820
00:57:37,670 --> 00:57:35,920
november 4th 2019.

821
00:57:39,349 --> 00:57:37,680
it will be birthed to the earth-facing

822
00:57:41,430 --> 00:57:39,359
side of the unity module when jessica

823
00:57:43,750 --> 00:57:41,440
muir and christina cook capture the

824
00:57:46,950 --> 00:57:43,760
vehicle with the canadarm2 crew will

825
00:57:49,670 --> 00:57:46,960
access the cargo on the same day

826
00:57:52,630 --> 00:57:49,680
our capture coverage will be live on air

827
00:57:55,190 --> 00:57:52,640
at 1 45 a.m central time 2 45 a.m

828
00:57:57,109 --> 00:57:55,200
eastern time that morning november 4th

829
00:57:59,510 --> 00:57:57,119
and birthing coverage of cygnus to the

830
00:58:02,789 --> 00:57:59,520
station's unity module we'll go live at

831
00:58:05,510 --> 00:58:02,799
5 30 a.m central 6 30 a.m eastern we

832
00:58:07,829 --> 00:58:05,520
hope you'll join us for that

833
00:58:10,390 --> 00:58:07,839
also on monday we'll broadcast live from

834
00:58:13,109 --> 00:58:10,400
launch complex 32 at white sands missile

835
00:58:15,630 --> 00:58:13,119
range in new mexico as boeing prepares

836
00:58:19,589 --> 00:58:15,640
to put the launch abort system of its

837
00:58:21,190 --> 00:58:19,599
cst-100 starliner to the test

838
00:58:23,829 --> 00:58:21,200
coverage is scheduled to begin just

839
00:58:25,990 --> 00:58:23,839
before the 8 am central which is 7

840
00:58:27,990 --> 00:58:26,000
o'clock mountain time it's a 90-second

841
00:58:30,470 --> 00:58:28,000
test designed to demonstrate starliner's

842
00:58:33,270 --> 00:58:30,480
ability to quickly escape the launch pad

843
00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:33,280
in the event of a launch day emergency

844
00:58:37,109 --> 00:58:35,200
it'll be boeing's first flight test as

845
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:37,119
part of nasa's commercial crew program

846
00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:39,359
and help evaluate the performance of the

847
00:58:43,510 --> 00:58:41,280
abort system prior to missions to the

848
00:58:44,870 --> 00:58:43,520
international space station with a crew

849
00:58:46,870 --> 00:58:44,880
on board

850
00:58:48,710 --> 00:58:46,880
nasa and the commercial partners boeing

851
00:58:50,470 --> 00:58:48,720
and spacex are working toward returning

852
00:58:52,150 --> 00:58:50,480
the capability to launch american

853
00:58:54,390 --> 00:58:52,160
astronauts to the international space

854
00:58:56,789 --> 00:58:54,400
station and low earth orbit on

855
00:59:00,870 --> 00:58:56,799
american-built spacecraft from american

856
00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:03,190
but for now a successful saturday launch

857
00:59:09,510 --> 00:59:06,720
of cygnus on time at 8 59 a.m central 9

858
00:59:10,950 --> 00:59:09,520
59 a.m eastern now on its way to the

859
00:59:13,030 --> 00:59:10,960
space station

860
00:59:14,470 --> 00:59:13,040
we'll be live on air again at 1 45 a.m

861
00:59:15,430 --> 00:59:14,480
central monday for rendezvous and

862
00:59:18,230 --> 00:59:15,440
capture

863
00:59:20,069 --> 00:59:18,240
and at 5 30 a.m central for birthing of

864
00:59:22,390 --> 00:59:20,079
cygnus to the international space

865
00:59:24,950 --> 00:59:22,400
station we hope you'll join us for the

866
00:59:26,470 --> 00:59:24,960
arrival and until then that wraps up our
