1
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:01,829
flight director today he is at the helm

2
00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:03,760
and will be pulling his team here for a

3
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:08,240
go no-go decision in about 16 minutes

4
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:09,920
assuming all continues on track

5
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:12,480
starliner's orbital maneuvering and out

6
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:15,200
and attitude control thrusters or omax

7
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:18,400
will fire up at 6 23 a.m central time

8
00:00:23,109 --> 00:00:20,320
and that will drop the spacecraft back

9
00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:23,119
out of orbit and begin the journey home

10
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:25,039
given that starliner should touch down

11
00:00:29,669 --> 00:00:26,880
for historic first landing at white

12
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:29,679
sands space harbor in new mexico at 6

13
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:31,119
57.

14
00:00:35,350 --> 00:00:33,840
at the moment though nasa is uh

15
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:35,360
the team here in the mission control

16
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:37,600
room is uh still got a lot of

17
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:39,520
work to do to finish preparing for that

18
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:41,520
launch

19
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:43,600
and earlier in this shift this team got

20
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:46,719
a briefing on the weather at white sands

21
00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:49,120
which is looking promising today it's

22
00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:51,039
definitely going to be chilly for the

23
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,559
landing team heading out to meet

24
00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:54,960
starliner temperatures are expected to

25
00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:57,520
drop down to around 22 or 23 degrees

26
00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,680
fahrenheit

27
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:02,320
right before sunrise which is when

28
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:05,040
starliner is going to come down

29
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:06,720
and that's about the

30
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:08,799
and then their clouds are scattered but

31
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,640
the wind should be light all in all

32
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,640
it'll look pretty good

33
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:14,560
unfortunately though we have chosen the

34
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:16,000
longest night of the year to bring

35
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:18,400
starliner home happy winter solstice to

36
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:19,360
everyone

37
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,520
it's going to be about 5 57 a.m mountain

38
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:23,119
time there in new mexico and the sun

39
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:25,680
won't be up until 704 so we will have

40
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,680
some cameras out there and you can see

41
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:29,840
the landing team gathering here what it

42
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:32,079
looks like now i will show you as much

43
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,159
as possible but it will it will be dark

44
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:36,240
for a little while so

45
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,159
so we have a lot coming up to show you

46
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,880
here on nasa tv but before we get too

47
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,799
far into the landing operations we do

48
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,720
want to look back at friday's launch of

49
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,240
starliner

50
00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:48,159
heading into a

51
00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,920
lunch replay to take a look at that

52
00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:51,759
brilliant morning liftoff from cape

53
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:18,550
now 10 seconds into flight

54
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:20,229
so there you see the united launch

55
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:22,000
alliance atlas 5

56
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:23,680
heading into the skies above cape

57
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:29,190
crowds there gathered to watch it as it

58
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:35,350
lunch was of course time to catch up

59
00:03:10,710 --> 00:02:37,280
precisely to the international space

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,390
one minute 20 seconds into flight

61
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:15,910
body rate responses on the vehicle look

62
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:22,149
one minute 30 seconds in standing by for

63
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,030
and we have burnout on both solid rocket

64
00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,840
boosters atlas will hold on to the srbs

65
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:31,519
for an additional 48 seconds prior to

66
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:32,799
jettison

67
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:34,959
rd180 has gone back up to full thrust as

68
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:42,710
one minute 50 seconds in

69
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:45,680
atlas is now 17 miles in altitude 11 and

70
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,120
a half miles downrange distance

71
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,080
traveling at 2 300 miles per hour

72
00:03:54,789 --> 00:03:53,040
now passing two minutes into flight

73
00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:54,799
rd-180 engine operating parameters

74
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:03,750
and at two minutes 11 seconds into

75
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:05,680
flight the atlas rocket now weighs just

76
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:15,350
so it really was a beautiful launch and

77
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,040
despite the fact that we're not going to

78
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:18,880
be visiting the space station we are

79
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,720
still accomplishing a lot of starliner's

80
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:22,400
mission objectives

81
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,919
that's right first up there was the

82
00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:25,600
launch itself which confirmed the human

83
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,520
rating for the atlas v rocket then

84
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:29,199
yesterday starliner was able to

85
00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:30,800
establish a connection with the space

86
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,040
station while the station was about 500

87
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:35,280
kilometers away to test out sending

88
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:37,040
commands from the ground through the

89
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:38,400
space station

90
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,840
we also got a good report card on

91
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:42,080
starliner's state and attitude knowledge

92
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:44,320
demonstration the three cities or the

93
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,720
space integrated gps and international

94
00:04:51,590 --> 00:04:49,199
navigation system units were able to

95
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,600
provide really good navigation

96
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:53,759
and we were also able to perform a good

97
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:55,360
checkout of the system that would have

98
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,880
allowed us to connect to the space

99
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:58,800
station's docking adapter

100
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,440
and our anthropomorphic anthropometric

101
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:03,840
test article rosie the rocketeer is

102
00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:05,840
still strapped in the commander's seat

103
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:08,080
and collecting data for us we can't wait

104
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:10,000
to see what she has to tell us when she

105
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:12,160
gets back of course there's been a lot

106
00:05:17,189 --> 00:05:13,280
of

107
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:17,199
and

108
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:25,759
uh

109
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:28,080
one hour in five minutes now

110
00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:29,600
but a lot still has to happen before

111
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:31,199
touchdown so we're going to take a look

112
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:38,230
3.5 g acceleration limit engine

113
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:53,510
3 minutes 55 seconds into flight

114
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:54,950
and centaur's begun the boost phase

115
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:03,909
and lift off the rise of starliner and a

116
00:06:23,039 --> 00:07:03,110
so

117
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:17,589
yes

118
00:07:17,599 --> 00:08:12,550
pictures

119
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:13,589
and

120
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:16,080
flight director richard jones has given

121
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:16,960
a

122
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:21,599
prescribed time

123
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:24,240
coming up for uh setting the course for

124
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:25,840
a landing by star liner out in new

125
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,000
mexico an hour and two minutes from now

126
00:08:32,469 --> 00:08:30,160
richard jones pulled his team

127
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:32,479
and everyone is go

128
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:35,200
that is spending one last uh bit of work

129
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:36,560
that needs to be done on the propulsion

130
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:39,519
officer's side just making sure that

131
00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:42,240
manifold valve is open on the orbital

132
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:44,959
maneuvering and attitude control system

133
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:46,720
that should happen about 10 minutes

134
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:52,550
so the first step in uh in getting there

135
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:55,360
of course and getting back to new mexico

136
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:56,480
is the

137
00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:58,080
deorbit burn

138
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:01,600
and that is that is coming up at 6 23

139
00:09:14,949 --> 00:09:11,350
and that is going to be a

140
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:14,959
55 second burn using uh firing using

141
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:17,200
four of the orbital maneuvering and

142
00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:20,320
control engines on starliner

143
00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:21,920
to get ready for that the team here on

144
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,680
the ground is disconnecting starliner

145
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:25,760
solar rays and radiators the spacecraft

146
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:28,080
has enough power to get home now and its

147
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:48,710
and as we promised we have a number of

148
00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:51,920
teams around around america

149
00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:53,360
taking part in today's landing

150
00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:54,720
operations one of those teams is of

151
00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:57,200
course down at white sands new mexico at

152
00:10:02,069 --> 00:09:59,279
the landing site and we're going out

153
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:02,079
there now to boeing's josh barrett and

154
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:03,200
nasa's

155
00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:04,399
dan hewitt

156
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,399
her landings i imagine this setup looks

157
00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,399
like quite a lot different

158
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:10,399
how do you expect this to go yeah it is

159
00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:12,480
vastly different i mean uh if you're if

160
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:13,760
you follow the international space

161
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:14,880
station we've been landing our

162
00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:16,800
astronauts in kazakhstan in the soyuz

163
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:18,959
for several years now and that it's a

164
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:21,760
lot of airborne assets it's an extremely

165
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:24,160
remote area so there's no way to really

166
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:26,720
drive on except in limited vehicles

167
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:28,160
one of the nice things about bringing

168
00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:30,240
landings like this back to america is

169
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:32,000
we're much closer to cities much better

170
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:34,000
infrastructure things like that so it's

171
00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:36,399
great to see the convoy lined up we've

172
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:39,040
had a lot of exercises with the teams

173
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:41,360
out here just over the last year or so

174
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:42,800
as they've refined all of their

175
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:44,320
procedures and everything to get ready

176
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:46,240
for this landing it's running like a

177
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:48,480
well-oiled machine now there's a bunch

178
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:50,240
of different teams everybody's color

179
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:52,399
coded so they all have their specific

180
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:55,839
jobs uh but it's great to see uh why

181
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:57,360
don't we walk through some of the teams

182
00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:58,640
and what they're going to be doing yeah

183
00:11:02,389 --> 00:11:00,880
so let's start over here jim one or tim

184
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:02,399
why don't you follow me

185
00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:03,920
so let's go

186
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:05,839
up here we'll kind of go line by line

187
00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:08,000
for the convoy so we have our command

188
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,079
vehicle up front here that's where our

189
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:12,320
recovery operations leader is and our

190
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,160
recovery director those are the two guys

191
00:11:18,150 --> 00:11:15,920
who are really in charge of this whole

192
00:11:19,829 --> 00:11:18,160
operation make sure the procedures go

193
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,839
exactly as planned

194
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:21,600
right behind them we have our gold team

195
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,079
they have a very important job they're

196
00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:25,920
the first to the vehicle and they

197
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:28,399
actually sniff for hydrazine now the

198
00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:30,240
crew module uses

199
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:32,640
hydrazine as a propellant and if it does

200
00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:34,720
turn into a vapor it can be very toxic

201
00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:36,079
and damaging to your health if you

202
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,720
inhale it so they will be full up in an

203
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:41,279
escape hazmat style suits protected from

204
00:11:45,509 --> 00:11:43,279
that hydrazine they use these special

205
00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:45,519
sensors to sniff for it and make sure

206
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:47,839
the rest of the recovery

207
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:50,320
convoy can come up to the vehicle

208
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,720
now going over here the next line

209
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,959
we have our silver team they're right

210
00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:56,959
behind goal team after gold team clears

211
00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,200
it their first job is to ground the

212
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:01,519
vehicle so the vehicle will be powered

213
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:03,600
down but there could be some residual

214
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:05,920
electricity on it and so before anyone

215
00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:07,680
can touch the vehicle they're actually

216
00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:08,959
going to ground the vehicle and

217
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:11,920
discharge any electricity from it

218
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:12,639
then

219
00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:15,040
up next is blue team that's us or the

220
00:12:19,350 --> 00:12:17,200
blue vest we're in charge of showing

221
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:19,360
everyone what's going on we've got

222
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:21,920
situational awareness cameras

223
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:23,519
all of the microwave equipment to get

224
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:25,519
back to our satellite uplink and make

225
00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:27,200
sure you guys can see this recovery

226
00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:29,519
effort

227
00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:31,279
next we're going over here to the green

228
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:32,639
team

229
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:34,160
so you see these big

230
00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:36,320
hvac trailers right here they're going

231
00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:38,800
to hook those up to the crew module to

232
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:41,040
get some ground cooling on it but their

233
00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:43,200
very first job since it's so cold it's

234
00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,279
22 degrees they're going to put an

235
00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:47,279
environmental enclosure on the crew

236
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:49,200
module it looks kind of like a big

237
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:52,000
inflatable crew module size bouncy house

238
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:53,360
but it's going to wrap around the

239
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,880
vehicle hug it and we're going to get

240
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:56,800
some warm air on the crew module and

241
00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:58,240
make sure the propellant lines don't

242
00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:59,839
freeze

243
00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,440
and then after them is the red team

244
00:13:08,710 --> 00:13:03,440
they're a lot of fun to watch they are

245
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,720
mostly boeing fire rescue employees

246
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:10,160
let's go up here and so i can show you

247
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:17,190
so here that platform will get backed up

248
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:18,560
to the hatch

249
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,480
on the crew module that gives our teams

250
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:22,320
access to the hatch

251
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:23,120
uh

252
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:25,040
right now since there's no astronauts on

253
00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:26,639
board we're just going to open up the

254
00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,920
hatch

255
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:29,839
one of our engineers selena doe part is

256
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:31,360
going to go inside and run a couple of

257
00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:32,240
tests

258
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:33,040
but

259
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:35,600
on a crew landing that's where the crew

260
00:13:38,629 --> 00:13:37,680
will come out of the vehicle and be

261
00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:38,639
taken

262
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:40,160
into this medical truck right here

263
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:42,240
behind me for their initial post landing

264
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:44,240
medical checkups and that's pretty much

265
00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:46,399
the convoy so i'm gonna go back here

266
00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:49,519
over with dan

267
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:52,000
yeah thanks josh great breakthrough and

268
00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:53,600
as you can tell he's really wanting to

269
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:55,040
keep moving because it is pretty cold

270
00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:57,040
out here for the teams today

271
00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:58,720
we are on the blue team and we are going

272
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:00,160
to be bringing you guys a couple of

273
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,160
different views hopefully of the castle

274
00:14:06,629 --> 00:14:04,160
today there's a bunch of assets out here

275
00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,639
one of which is just about 100 yards or

276
00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:08,480
so away from us there's some tracker

277
00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:10,480
cameras on one of the main trucks that

278
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:13,600
drive out here the md tv the

279
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:16,240
and the andy the mlcc so we have our

280
00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:18,560
mdtv that's mobile data and tracking

281
00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:21,519
vehicle it's got three cameras on it two

282
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:23,120
of them are visible one of them is

283
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,040
infrared and since it's so dark out

284
00:14:29,189 --> 00:14:27,600
that's probably what we'll be relying on

285
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,199
and then next to it we have our mobile

286
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:31,440
command vehicle the mobile landing

287
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:32,720
control center

288
00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:35,920
those guys are looped in with houston

289
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,000
and uh you know that's really our link

290
00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:40,639
back to mission control that is where

291
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:41,440
the

292
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:47,120
that to us on our field radios and this

293
00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:48,800
whole thing's going to get moving

294
00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:51,199
yeah and so in addition to those assets

295
00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:52,800
we'll have a couple more ground track

296
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:54,560
cameras that we'll be looking to bring

297
00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:56,880
views of starliner coming down for and

298
00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,199
once again we're going to have a wb 57

299
00:15:03,110 --> 00:15:01,120
in the air hopefully getting some views

300
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:03,120
of starliner as it's doing that entry

301
00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:04,560
interface so plunging through the

302
00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:06,399
earth's atmosphere and then watching the

303
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:07,920
parachutes come out the heat shield

304
00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:10,320
jettison a number of different things so

305
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,000
we are working to bring you all those

306
00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:14,240
views during the live coverage today it

307
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:16,160
is dark so it's not going to be the

308
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,600
prettiest picture but we should have

309
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:19,279
some great shots of starliner coming

310
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:20,959
down and i do want to reiterate the

311
00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:22,800
teams we have trained actually it was a

312
00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:24,320
couple months ago we were right here at

313
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:26,480
this very landing site training and

314
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:28,320
pitch black conditions we were recording

315
00:15:32,790 --> 00:15:29,600
at one a.m

316
00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,800
it was quite a bit warmer it was it was

317
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:34,639
you know we're ready for this here uh

318
00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:36,160
the team's ready for it we've been on

319
00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:38,160
site since 1am they are locked in and

320
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:41,040
ready to execute and ready to recover

321
00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:42,560
the first american orbital capsule to

322
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,399
land on land yeah and there's going to

323
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:46,639
be a couple of events on the way down

324
00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:48,160
and i know steve and brandy are going to

325
00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:50,079
walk you guys through this quite a bit

326
00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,120
but we're going to be looking for a

327
00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:53,279
couple of key things after that entry

328
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,480
interface so once they're through the

329
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:56,399
atmosphere that forward heat shield is

330
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,759
going to come off and descend under

331
00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:59,600
parachutes the drogue chutes are going

332
00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:01,199
to come out once those have done the

333
00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:03,120
initial studying of the vehicle the

334
00:16:07,269 --> 00:16:05,279
pilots will deploy and then bring out

335
00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:07,279
the main parachutes which is going to do

336
00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:09,680
the vast bulk of the slowing and then

337
00:16:13,189 --> 00:16:11,519
once we get down a little bit lower i

338
00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:13,199
think a couple thousand feet off the

339
00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:15,839
ground still about 3 000 yeah 3 000 that

340
00:16:18,870 --> 00:16:17,600
heat shield is going to pop off and

341
00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:18,880
that's going to

342
00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:21,040
reveal the landing airbags which will

343
00:16:25,509 --> 00:16:23,519
inflate and then allow starliner to come

344
00:16:27,509 --> 00:16:25,519
down nice and soft on the ground what's

345
00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:27,519
that final speed as we touch down again

346
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:29,440
josh it's about 28 feet per second i

347
00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:31,040
know you asked for miles an hour about

348
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:34,000
19 miles an hour but that's still a very

349
00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:35,680
soft landing especially under those

350
00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:38,000
airbags all the testing we've done even

351
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:40,160
on worst case scenarios with airbags out

352
00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:42,240
coming down faster than we predicted the

353
00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:44,959
loads on the crew were actually uh lower

354
00:16:49,269 --> 00:16:47,199
than we did in our than we predicted in

355
00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:49,279
our analyses so that's a good surprise

356
00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:52,000
to have yeah and a lot of the operations

357
00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:53,600
that we're going to see today will be

358
00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:56,079
very close to the exact same as when we

359
00:16:59,110 --> 00:16:58,240
have a crew on board some of the obvious

360
00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:59,120
things that will be different is we're

361
00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:00,399
not going to be pulling anybody out of

362
00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:02,880
the castle today we don't quite have all

363
00:17:05,429 --> 00:17:04,640
of the same medical personnel that would

364
00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:05,439
come

365
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:07,600
if you've ever seen a soyuz landing it's

366
00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:09,520
very common for the crew to come out and

367
00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:11,120
then they always have a flight doctor

368
00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:12,480
with them a flight surgeon that's

369
00:17:16,549 --> 00:17:14,480
somebody who's assigned to a crew member

370
00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:16,559
before their flight during flight and

371
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:18,799
after just to provide that medical care

372
00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:20,480
nurses and a number of other personnel

373
00:17:24,870 --> 00:17:22,799
who are just kind of there on location

374
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:24,880
for the crew we know coming home from

375
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,640
space after six months is a little

376
00:17:30,390 --> 00:17:28,720
jarring on the body so we make sure and

377
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:30,400
do the best we can to take care of these

378
00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:32,320
crew members once they're back on terra

379
00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:33,280
firma

380
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:35,360
yeah um you know you watch a lot of

381
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:37,600
those russian landings the crew members

382
00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:39,760
are assisted out and that's actually why

383
00:17:44,950 --> 00:17:42,559
we tapped our fire rescue boeing fire

384
00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:44,960
teams here they're trained in enclosed

385
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:47,840
uh area rescue uh they're gonna actually

386
00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:49,760
go in and extricate those crew members

387
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:51,039
and that's actually a word i learned

388
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:52,480
recently there's a difference between

389
00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:54,000
extrication

390
00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:56,000
and evacuation

391
00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:57,679
extrication is actually going in and

392
00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,200
pulling someone out of a vehicle so

393
00:18:04,549 --> 00:18:01,679
that's what our fire firefighters will

394
00:18:06,549 --> 00:18:04,559
be doing and uh i will say they're

395
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:06,559
they're fantastic to watch these guys

396
00:18:10,470 --> 00:18:08,640
work so well together going pulling that

397
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:10,480
platform up to the crew module opening

398
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,840
up that hatch and getting access to

399
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:13,520
those crew members i know everyone's

400
00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:15,360
curious about how rosie's doing we're

401
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:17,679
not going to see her get pulled out of

402
00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:19,600
the vehicle today she's actually pretty

403
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:21,280
heavy

404
00:18:25,110 --> 00:18:23,280
anthropometric test devices are loaded

405
00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:25,120
down with a lot of weights and sensors

406
00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:26,720
and stuff so

407
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:29,120
it'll be a work to get her out so we're

408
00:18:31,590 --> 00:18:30,320
going to leave her there for now but

409
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:31,600
she's all right

410
00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,760
uh yeah and we do have some of those

411
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:35,440
crew members that are going to be flying

412
00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:37,120
on starliner they are here with the

413
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:40,080
teams of observing all of the

414
00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:42,480
operations today among them the the crew

415
00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:44,400
flight test so the first astronauts are

416
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,240
going to fly on starliner chris ferguson

417
00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:47,840
from boeing and then nicole mann and

418
00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:51,120
mike fink from nasa we also have

419
00:18:55,909 --> 00:18:54,080
sunny williams on site with us and she's

420
00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:55,919
going to be actually flying in this

421
00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:58,720
starliner that's coming home today yeah

422
00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:00,080
so i'm sure this is a really special

423
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:02,240
moment for her seeing her her

424
00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:04,080
spacecraft come down but we've got a lot

425
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:06,640
to get through as uh you know our senior

426
00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,320
vice president jim chilton said

427
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:10,640
yesterday to the media this stuff is not

428
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:12,320
for the faint of heart we have a lot to

429
00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:14,880
prove here and landing there's no point

430
00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,320
in sending people to space if you can't

431
00:19:21,110 --> 00:19:18,240
bring them home safely so this is a very

432
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:21,120
critical operation yeah well we're gonna

433
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:23,360
bring you as much video as we possibly

434
00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:25,760
can on the way out we're going to have

435
00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:27,360
some cameras rigged up and we'll be on

436
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:29,039
the ground with the capsule once it's

437
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:31,280
down and again we'll be looking for some

438
00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:33,200
airborne and some ground tracker cameras

439
00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:35,360
to provide views probably an infrared

440
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:38,160
because pitch black outside of starliner

441
00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:40,720
as it re-enters and we're we're locked

442
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:43,520
in and loaded here and we're ready to go

443
00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:45,600
yeah so steven brandy uh we'll go back

444
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:47,120
to you guys for updates from the flight

445
00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:48,720
control team that deorbit burn should be

446
00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:54,630
thanks so much josh and dan we really

447
00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:56,240
appreciate y'all braving the cold to

448
00:19:58,870 --> 00:19:57,840
bring us those views and we really are

449
00:20:01,110 --> 00:19:58,880
looking forward to what you're going to

450
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:01,120
show us a little bit later

451
00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:03,120
and uh at this point speaking of things

452
00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:06,559
that are coming up starliner is over the

453
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:08,960
south indian ocean heading

454
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:11,760
heading below australia before it

455
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:13,840
comes over the pacific where it will

456
00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:15,840
perform the deorbit burn

457
00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:19,360
in about 16 minutes and 18 seconds and

458
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:22,159
at that point uh after the deorbit burn

459
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:24,320
of course the service module that is on

460
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:27,039
the uh attached to the crew module will

461
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:29,200
separate and that will

462
00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:31,840
re-enter on its own it will not uh will

463
00:20:36,390 --> 00:20:33,600
not it's basically going to be disposed

464
00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:36,400
of and the crew module is what will fly

465
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:37,200
then

466
00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:39,200
through the uh through the heat of

467
00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:44,159
reentry and on over the skies of uh

468
00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:47,120
of new mexico where where dan and josh

469
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:49,280
are waiting to retrieve it

470
00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:50,640
and that will all get kicked off with

471
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,200
the deorbit burn coming up in uh 15

472
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:55,520
minutes now but while we wait for uh

473
00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:57,679
that to take place we are going to talk

474
00:21:00,950 --> 00:20:59,840
now with starliner engineer jim may

475
00:21:02,710 --> 00:21:00,960
who's been standing by to tell us a

476
00:21:03,909 --> 00:21:02,720
little bit more about the deorbit

477
00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:03,919
process and what we've already

478
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:14,230
responsibility on this program is making

479
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:16,320
sure that the way we train is safe

480
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:18,240
enough for us to fly

481
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:19,520
the astronauts are actually pretty easy

482
00:21:22,870 --> 00:21:21,520
to work with so we make their flight

483
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,880
more difficult nominally we want a

484
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:24,159
flight to go

485
00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:25,760
fully autonomous all the way to station

486
00:21:29,669 --> 00:21:27,840
with no problems but in the event of an

487
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:29,679
emergency we have to train the crew to

488
00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:31,600
be able to react to those emergencies in

489
00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:34,159
a safely and timely manner so we make

490
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:35,919
their job as hard as possible by adding

491
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:37,440
as many problems as we can during the

492
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:39,520
training sessions chris ferguson was my

493
00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:41,520
hiring manager he was the first person i

494
00:21:45,830 --> 00:21:43,200
talked to on this program when i got

495
00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:45,840
started and so making sure both your

496
00:21:49,669 --> 00:21:47,120
friend

497
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:49,679
your manager

498
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:51,120
your your astronauts representing your

499
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:52,080
country

500
00:22:01,270 --> 00:21:54,400
making sure that they're safe is very

501
00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:03,270
welcome jim

502
00:22:06,549 --> 00:22:04,799
morning

503
00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:06,559
jim one of the questions we've been

504
00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:08,880
asked is whether the mission elapsed

505
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:10,799
time problem that crept into the orbital

506
00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:13,440
insertion burn could cause an issue

507
00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:15,440
today during this during this phase

508
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:17,520
during this deorbit landing phase tell

509
00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:19,440
us how the software has been tested in

510
00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:21,200
the past two days to confirm that this

511
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:22,480
problem is not going to show itself

512
00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:23,360
again

513
00:22:26,549 --> 00:22:25,280
sure so the mission elapsed time has

514
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:26,559
been updated

515
00:22:29,909 --> 00:22:28,240
the flight control team richard jones

516
00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:29,919
they recognized that were able to

517
00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:31,200
command the vehicle to change its

518
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:32,640
mission elapsed time

519
00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:34,240
which then goes into all of the flight

520
00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:35,600
management computers so all the

521
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:36,880
computers are now in agreement with what

522
00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:38,640
the mission elapsed time should be and

523
00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:41,200
all of the continuing automated flight

524
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:42,559
features that use that time are going to

525
00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:43,840
follow it

526
00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:45,440
and been have been successfully

527
00:22:54,070 --> 00:22:51,430
that's great news

528
00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:54,080
so i know that um the software is is

529
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:56,480
really able to do a lot for starliner

530
00:23:00,310 --> 00:22:58,320
and handles a lot of the mission events

531
00:23:02,149 --> 00:23:00,320
but how how does that interact with the

532
00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:02,159
team here in mission control

533
00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:04,240
the team in mission control is watching

534
00:23:08,470 --> 00:23:06,000
what the flight control system is going

535
00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:08,480
to tell the vehicle what to do so there

536
00:23:12,630 --> 00:23:10,559
are parts of the spacecraft inside of

537
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:12,640
the flight software that say hey this is

538
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:14,080
where the vehicle needs to point and

539
00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:15,600
this is where the vehicle is going to

540
00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:17,760
need to go to in the future in order to

541
00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:18,960
do things like

542
00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:21,360
deorbit or rendezvous and things of that

543
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:22,960
nature so the flight control team on the

544
00:23:26,310 --> 00:23:24,880
ground is looking at that data and maybe

545
00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:26,320
making updates to it should they be

546
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:27,600
wanting to make any changes to the

547
00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:29,280
flight plan in the future but the ground

548
00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:30,640
control team always knows where the

549
00:23:33,590 --> 00:23:31,919
vehicle is going to be pointed where

550
00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:33,600
it's pointed now and everything that it

551
00:23:39,750 --> 00:23:36,880
wants to do to remain on the flight plan

552
00:23:41,669 --> 00:23:39,760
as as as designed

553
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:41,679
and jim you've been working this program

554
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:43,760
for uh for a while tell me about some of

555
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:45,039
the things

556
00:23:49,029 --> 00:23:46,720
how are you feeling with the with the

557
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:49,039
way i mean just to see that starliner is

558
00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:50,480
up in space and now it's getting ready

559
00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:52,000
to come home what are some of the things

560
00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:53,360
going through your going through your

561
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:54,480
mind now

562
00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:55,919
you know this this next phase of flight

563
00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:57,279
is very critical one it's one that we

564
00:24:01,669 --> 00:23:59,919
actually train a lot of the crew for um

565
00:24:04,230 --> 00:24:01,679
most extensively and so i'm looking

566
00:24:06,710 --> 00:24:04,240
forward to seeing the spacecraft fly the

567
00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:06,720
automated re-entry plan just as we

568
00:24:09,669 --> 00:24:07,840
designed

569
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:09,679
because you know that's that's all we

570
00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:10,960
care about the most thing we care about

571
00:24:14,950 --> 00:24:12,880
the most is the safety of the crew

572
00:24:17,269 --> 00:24:14,960
so seeing that the automated flight plan

573
00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:17,279
can go as expected is great because we

574
00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:18,880
are also training the flight crews to be

575
00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:20,159
able to take over should there ever be

576
00:24:28,710 --> 00:24:21,520
any issues

577
00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:31,190
and jim when you when you look at some

578
00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:33,120
of the uh at some of the other aspects

579
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:35,600
of this flight um you know the brilliant

580
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:38,720
launch yesterday and how how tough uh

581
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:40,640
how tough was it for the team to execute

582
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:42,080
some of those demonstrations that were

583
00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:43,760
performed was that a problem at all or

584
00:24:48,549 --> 00:24:46,400
spacecraft really perform the way it was

585
00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:48,559
supposed to you know once we've got once

586
00:24:51,350 --> 00:24:49,840
we have the spacecraft in the stable

587
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:51,360
orbit we've been able to perform the

588
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:52,320
demos

589
00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:53,760
just like we planned just at a slightly

590
00:24:56,470 --> 00:24:54,880
different orbit

591
00:24:58,950 --> 00:24:56,480
so being able to test the propulsion

592
00:25:00,950 --> 00:24:58,960
systems looking at the the vision the

593
00:25:02,470 --> 00:25:00,960
navigation system being able to check

594
00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:02,480
out the star tracker which is telling

595
00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:04,480
the vehicle where it is relative to the

596
00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:06,159
stars although the sun

597
00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:07,200
all of those things have been working

598
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:08,480
just as plain and the flight control

599
00:25:12,149 --> 00:25:10,400
team has been able to follow the flight

600
00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:12,159
plan for each of the demos exactly as we

601
00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:14,480
wanted to do it so every all the systems

602
00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,840
have been working nominally since then

603
00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:17,919
um and doing everything we need to need

604
00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:19,440
to do to check out the vehicle for crude

605
00:25:21,990 --> 00:25:20,480
flight

606
00:25:23,669 --> 00:25:22,000
and i guess coming up will be another

607
00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:23,679
big demonstration with starliner making

608
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:26,559
its way back to earth exactly

609
00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,840
can you walk us through some of the

610
00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:29,520
events that that will be that we'll be

611
00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:31,520
seeing over the course of the deorbit

612
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,279
and landing sure so

613
00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:35,120
we're going to do a deorbit burn which

614
00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:37,600
is going to take the starliner at the

615
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:40,400
altitude that it's at and lower it up

616
00:25:44,549 --> 00:25:42,320
lower the future altitude so it actually

617
00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:44,559
comes into the atmosphere where it comes

618
00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:46,000
into the atmosphere is a place called

619
00:25:49,110 --> 00:25:47,520
entry interface

620
00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:49,120
once the spacecraft enters the

621
00:25:53,990 --> 00:25:50,799
atmosphere it is then going to start

622
00:25:55,990 --> 00:25:54,000
controlling itself by doing turns

623
00:25:59,029 --> 00:25:56,000
and firing its thrusters to keep the

624
00:26:01,590 --> 00:25:59,039
spacecraft um coming down towards our

625
00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:01,600
preferred landing zone uh in and at

626
00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:05,200
white sands and so while the spacecraft

627
00:26:09,269 --> 00:26:08,000
is maneuvering it can change how far

628
00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:09,279
left or right it's going to go it can

629
00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:11,279
change how far or how close it's going

630
00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:13,039
to come down on the ground and all those

631
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:15,120
things that are going to be done by the

632
00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:17,760
automated flight system

633
00:26:20,630 --> 00:26:19,360
once we have come through the atmosphere

634
00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:20,640
and slowed ourselves down enough we're

635
00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:22,880
actually going to fire some some

636
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,679
drug parachutes to slow the vehicle down

637
00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:27,679
from there we'll pop out the heat shield

638
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:29,520
pull out the airbags and then we'll pull

639
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:30,799
out the main parachutes come down in a

640
00:26:36,070 --> 00:26:34,240
nice soft landing in west in white sands

641
00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:36,080
and jim you know

642
00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:39,200
we had the the early difficulty with the

643
00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:40,960
mission elapsed timer

644
00:26:44,149 --> 00:26:42,000
um

645
00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:44,159
and it's it's really

646
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:46,159
all the teams have been working very

647
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:48,960
hard since then and of course uh none of

648
00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:50,400
the past uh

649
00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:53,440
couple of days have have been um

650
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:55,200
you know have been

651
00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:56,559
the teams have been working the whole

652
00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:57,520
time

653
00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:59,520
give us a little bit a little bit more

654
00:27:02,789 --> 00:27:00,720
insight we touched on this earlier it

655
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:02,799
gives us a little bit more insight into

656
00:27:09,029 --> 00:27:05,600
uh into what that evaluation process has

657
00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:09,039
been and and uh y'all are dealing with a

658
00:27:13,269 --> 00:27:11,200
lower orbit than expected

659
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:13,279
but it is still something that is

660
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:14,960
manageable am i understanding that

661
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:16,880
correctly correct so starlander is

662
00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:18,720
designed to fly

663
00:27:21,590 --> 00:27:20,480
anywhere in low-earth orbit so the fact

664
00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:21,600
that we're at a slightly lower than

665
00:27:25,269 --> 00:27:23,200
planned orbit um does not mean the

666
00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:25,279
vehicle can't perform um like a

667
00:27:29,669 --> 00:27:27,039
spacecraft that can automate that can

668
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:29,679
fly automated on its own uh so the

669
00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:31,440
processes we've been going through um

670
00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:32,880
work the exact same way as if we were at

671
00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:35,120
a slightly slightly higher orbit it just

672
00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:37,120
that we have a um you know we go around

673
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:38,399
the earth a little bit faster because

674
00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:39,200
our

675
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:41,120
altitude is a little bit lower but the

676
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:42,320
teams have been able to operate the

677
00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:43,760
spacecraft using the exact same

678
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:46,960
commanding the exact same plan for the

679
00:27:49,830 --> 00:27:48,640
order of things that they're going to do

680
00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:49,840
than they would have done for the normal

681
00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:52,559
mission profile

682
00:27:55,430 --> 00:27:53,919
and i guess uh it will have just a

683
00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:55,440
little bit shorter journey normally it

684
00:27:59,510 --> 00:27:57,679
takes about what 45 minutes for

685
00:28:01,269 --> 00:27:59,520
starliner to get down after its deorbit

686
00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:01,279
burn but it's a little closer to 30 this

687
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:03,360
time that's correct that just has to do

688
00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:05,120
with how long it takes from the deorbit

689
00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:07,760
burn uh for the altitude to slowly come

690
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:09,520
down because our trajectory is no longer

691
00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:11,200
a circular trajectory around the earth

692
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:13,440
it's a going to be coming down in a

693
00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:15,600
lower path

694
00:28:20,549 --> 00:28:17,600
and we can see from our monitors here in

695
00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:20,559
mission control that uh starliner is uh

696
00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:22,559
going through the orientation steps

697
00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:24,320
ahead of this deorbit burn it's coming

698
00:28:30,549 --> 00:28:27,200
up in just a few minutes

699
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,559
jim you've um you're watching this um

700
00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:32,480
you're watching this closely what are

701
00:28:35,269 --> 00:28:33,840
you thinking so far

702
00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:35,279
everything's looking good right now

703
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:36,480
we've got the vehicle pointed where we

704
00:28:39,990 --> 00:28:38,960
need to to do the deorbit burn um you

705
00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:40,000
know it looks like the flight control

706
00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:41,520
team is all happy

707
00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:44,080
gnc you know my background from school i

708
00:28:47,990 --> 00:28:46,080
i'm happy now because uh that's the type

709
00:28:51,269 --> 00:28:48,000
of thing that i really studied for so um

710
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:51,279
we're looking good for the deorbit burn

711
00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:52,640
we're hearing here in mission control

712
00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:54,880
that uh the starliner is on its way to

713
00:29:00,149 --> 00:28:56,320
burn attitude

714
00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:00,159
us in in place for the new orbit burn

715
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:02,799
coming up just uh seven minutes and

716
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:09,830
and at this point starliner is crossing

717
00:29:14,710 --> 00:29:11,360
below

718
00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:14,720
australia on its uh on its way

719
00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:18,399
over the pacific it is going to fly back

720
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:20,720
on what is called an ascending node

721
00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:22,480
which basically means it's coming up

722
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:24,960
from south to north on this pass

723
00:29:30,389 --> 00:29:26,399
going over

724
00:29:43,669 --> 00:29:30,399
baja california and then over new mexico

725
00:29:47,510 --> 00:29:45,590
part of the part of the team here of

726
00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:47,520
course that's been working throughout

727
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:50,240
this mission the flight directors they

728
00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:52,640
each have their own teams and the on

729
00:29:56,230 --> 00:29:53,520
orbit

730
00:29:57,430 --> 00:29:56,240
team is led by bob dempsey bob dempsey

731
00:30:00,549 --> 00:29:57,440
is uh

732
00:30:02,549 --> 00:30:00,559
astronomer at first and has is a veteran

733
00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:02,559
flight controller for

734
00:30:08,789 --> 00:30:07,269
for space station and now for starliner

735
00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:08,799
here's a look at

736
00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:20,070
that nasa was doing you know space

737
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:22,480
shuttle probes around jupiter and stuff

738
00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:23,760
like that

739
00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:25,760
but when i came here and became a flight

740
00:30:29,909 --> 00:30:27,520
director i realized it's not the

741
00:30:32,710 --> 00:30:29,919
technology it's the people

742
00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:32,720
my call sign and therefore my team name

743
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:35,200
is galileo flight

744
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:38,080
that's an homage to the fact that i'm by

745
00:30:42,149 --> 00:30:40,320
training an astronomer so i had that

746
00:30:44,789 --> 00:30:42,159
heritage coming in here

747
00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:44,799
always interested in exploring

748
00:30:48,789 --> 00:30:46,159
when the chief of the flight director's

749
00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:48,799
office called me

750
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:52,000
i was uh very surprised and you know of

751
00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:53,520
course i applied and hoped to be

752
00:30:58,630 --> 00:30:55,360
selected but i really thought the odds

753
00:31:00,870 --> 00:30:58,640
were pretty limited because it's it's a

754
00:31:02,549 --> 00:31:00,880
it's a small contingent of people in

755
00:31:04,789 --> 00:31:02,559
fact there's been less flight directors

756
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:04,799
than astronauts

757
00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:13,750
and as we mentioned richard jones is

758
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:15,440
back on console today to bring us in for

759
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:16,960
a landing here's a look at what he had

760
00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:18,720
to say

761
00:31:22,789 --> 00:31:20,640
the role of the flight director

762
00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:22,799
to put it simply the flight director

763
00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:25,600
makes decisions i make decisions

764
00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:27,600
and as the mission is continuing

765
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:29,440
whatever timeline that we're following

766
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,480
whether it's pre-launch ascent on orbit

767
00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:34,320
docked

768
00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:36,000
during entry

769
00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:37,600
a lot of questions come up in terms of

770
00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:39,679
how we want to proceed because sometimes

771
00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:42,080
the script isn't always written

772
00:31:45,669 --> 00:31:44,000
for whatever we're doing at the time we

773
00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:45,679
may suffer a failure

774
00:31:49,990 --> 00:31:47,840
we may have to react to different

775
00:31:53,190 --> 00:31:50,000
priorities whatever is changing

776
00:31:55,110 --> 00:31:53,200
and so the flight director's role is to

777
00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:55,120
take all of that information in

778
00:31:58,389 --> 00:31:55,840
and

779
00:32:07,509 --> 00:31:58,399
all of the systems information the human

780
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:14,950
so it's really just about decisions

781
00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:16,470
the other members of our star team of

782
00:32:20,789 --> 00:32:18,559
flight directors are ed van size who was

783
00:32:23,269 --> 00:32:20,799
covering the uh the what we call the

784
00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:23,279
third shift and also uh mike lammers who

785
00:32:26,630 --> 00:32:24,799
was sitting with richard jones today

786
00:32:29,029 --> 00:32:26,640
he's been kind of the weather flight

787
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:29,039
director for both launch and landing

788
00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:31,120
also um at the flight control console

789
00:32:36,149 --> 00:32:33,840
you've got a couple of capcoms on uh

790
00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:36,159
on a shift with us we have tracy

791
00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:39,840
caldwell dyson and josh casada josh is

792
00:32:44,389 --> 00:32:42,480
actually scheduled to take his own uh

793
00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:44,399
flight on this starliner that is

794
00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:46,000
currently in space now he'll be on the

795
00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:52,070
each of those

796
00:32:57,029 --> 00:32:54,880
hours in mission control at a time with

797
00:32:58,710 --> 00:32:57,039
one hour on either end of the shift

798
00:33:00,549 --> 00:32:58,720
devoted to handover for the oncoming

799
00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,559
team together these teams have seen

800
00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:02,080
starliner safely through the mission

801
00:33:06,710 --> 00:33:03,519
thus far put it in the best

802
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:06,720
configuration for a successful landing

803
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:11,200
coming up in just 37 minutes now

804
00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:13,760
37 minutes down to new mexico

805
00:33:18,070 --> 00:33:15,279
the uh

806
00:33:20,630 --> 00:33:18,080
gnc position here reports that uh

807
00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:20,640
starliner is in the correct attitude for

808
00:33:24,789 --> 00:33:22,559
its deorbit burn that is coming up at

809
00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:24,799
this at this point the service module

810
00:33:27,269 --> 00:33:26,320
and the crew module are both still

811
00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:27,279
attached

812
00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:28,480
to each other

813
00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,799
it will be the service modules omac

814
00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:33,120
engines four of them the orbital

815
00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:35,360
maneuvering and control engines that

816
00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:38,880
will uh power the de-orbit burn they are

817
00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:42,880
each 1500 pound glass thrusters meaning

818
00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:45,600
that uh this 55 second burn will be

819
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:48,320
about 6 000 pounds of thrust that will

820
00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:50,080
uh slow

821
00:33:54,230 --> 00:33:51,760
starliner from its current orbital

822
00:33:57,350 --> 00:33:54,240
velocity and let it uh

823
00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:57,360
fall into the atmosphere

824
00:34:01,590 --> 00:33:59,440
and ultimately fly uh

825
00:34:03,269 --> 00:34:01,600
fly to new mexico and touch down in

826
00:34:05,350 --> 00:34:03,279
white sands

827
00:34:07,110 --> 00:34:05,360
those omax are just about done with

828
00:34:09,909 --> 00:34:07,120
their uh their duty for this mission but

829
00:34:12,389 --> 00:34:09,919
they will also help us uh move the um

830
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:12,399
the surface module away from

831
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:14,560
the crew module once the two of them

832
00:34:29,430 --> 00:34:27,669
that burns coming up in just a little

833
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:29,440
over two minutes now

834
00:34:33,270 --> 00:34:31,280
everything uh still

835
00:34:34,629 --> 00:34:33,280
still looking good here in the room

836
00:34:36,950 --> 00:34:34,639
everyone quiet working through their

837
00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:36,960
last steps to get ready for it

838
00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,879
and after the de-orbit burn we'll be

839
00:34:42,550 --> 00:34:40,879
looking at a what is called entry

840
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:42,560
interface which is basically the point

841
00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:43,760
at which the

842
00:34:47,270 --> 00:34:46,000
hottest part of atmospheric re-entry

843
00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:47,280
begins this is the point when

844
00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:49,119
starliner's heat shield

845
00:34:54,629 --> 00:34:51,919
will be uh will face its biggest test

846
00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:54,639
it's going to get up to 3000 degrees and

847
00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:56,560
and the plasma will form around the

848
00:35:01,349 --> 00:34:59,119
spacecraft the heat shield is going to

849
00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:01,359
provide a barrier to that it's an

850
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:04,640
ablative heat shield of boeing's design

851
00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:06,240
and that's going to protect starliner

852
00:35:09,910 --> 00:35:08,160
and all of its systems

853
00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:09,920
that's a lot to protect it from 3000

854
00:35:14,870 --> 00:35:12,400
degrees is almost 1 000 degrees hotter

855
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:14,880
than lava so it's got quite a job ahead

856
00:35:20,710 --> 00:35:17,520
of it and all that takes place about 75

857
00:35:24,870 --> 00:35:23,510
so we are about a minute 13 seconds away

858
00:35:28,630 --> 00:35:24,880
from the

859
00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:28,640
deorbit burn here watching this will be

860
00:36:05,030 --> 00:35:31,440
starliner's 33rd orbit of the earth that

861
00:36:09,190 --> 00:36:06,950
30 seconds to go now until the deorbit

862
00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:09,200
berm begins again it will last about 55

863
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:28,390
ten seconds to deorbit burn eight seven

864
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:29,280
six

865
00:36:31,270 --> 00:36:30,240
five

866
00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:31,280
four

867
00:36:33,829 --> 00:36:32,320
three

868
00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:33,839
two

869
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,230
deorbit burn in progress

870
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:51,670
good control reported

871
00:36:55,990 --> 00:36:53,990
40 mac thrusters firing for about 55

872
00:37:01,349 --> 00:36:56,000
seconds to slow starliner down to begin

873
00:37:01,359 --> 00:37:14,310
all looking good thus far

874
00:37:19,990 --> 00:37:17,430
40 seconds in about 15 more to go

875
00:37:21,349 --> 00:37:20,000
star liner we can see is maintaining its

876
00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:21,359
attitude

877
00:37:26,069 --> 00:37:23,599
mac thrusters are firing smaller rcs

878
00:37:37,349 --> 00:37:26,079
thrusters are keeping the spacecraft in

879
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:40,150
good burn reported engines cut off

880
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:41,760
we are on our way to white sands richard

881
00:37:47,349 --> 00:37:43,920
jones tells his team

882
00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:47,359
starliner's ready to come home now

883
00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:49,200
next up as we were just talking about is

884
00:37:53,030 --> 00:37:50,960
the entry interface that'll be coming up

885
00:37:55,190 --> 00:37:53,040
in about 16 minutes but before that uh

886
00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:55,200
starlander does want to get rid of the

887
00:37:59,510 --> 00:37:57,760
service module so that this the

888
00:38:01,109 --> 00:37:59,520
command mod the crew module can make its

889
00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:01,119
way home on its own

890
00:38:04,470 --> 00:38:02,880
and it clears the way for that heat

891
00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:04,480
shield and eventually the parachutes

892
00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:05,440
that will

893
00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:16,310
so starliner is on a path coming home

894
00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:18,640
now its speed is

895
00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:19,760
dropping

896
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:22,320
and we will soon be

897
00:38:26,310 --> 00:38:24,400
will soon be jettisoning the

898
00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:26,320
service module as noted but we are

899
00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:28,240
definitely on the way home to white

900
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:32,230
moving into attitude to get rid of the

901
00:38:55,589 --> 00:38:53,510
and flight controllers report that we

902
00:38:57,430 --> 00:38:55,599
are in the right attitude and service

903
00:38:59,430 --> 00:38:57,440
module has jettisoned

904
00:39:01,430 --> 00:38:59,440
crew module is flying on its own service

905
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:01,440
module will be disposed of while it

906
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:04,720
re-enters over the pacific

907
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:06,560
while the crew module continues on a

908
00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:08,880
flight path to white sands new mexico

909
00:39:12,870 --> 00:39:10,800
where our boeing and nasa teams are

910
00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:12,880
waiting to recover

911
00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:14,480
right now it's up to the reaction

912
00:39:18,470 --> 00:39:16,240
control system on the camera module to

913
00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:18,480
flip the crew module back around

914
00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:20,240
get its heat shield pointing into what

915
00:40:35,109 --> 00:39:23,200
will soon become a very hot spot

916
00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:36,950
at starliner mission control in houston

917
00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:38,960
we continue to monitor the progress of

918
00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:41,040
starliner as it flies

919
00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:42,960
back to white sands new mexico all

920
00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:44,720
systems are looking just like they're

921
00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:47,040
supposed to everything is looking good

922
00:40:50,309 --> 00:40:49,520
crew module is positioning itself for

923
00:40:53,109 --> 00:40:50,319
the

924
00:41:52,630 --> 00:40:53,119
re-entry we have entry interface coming

925
00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:54,790
and another starliner engineer joining

926
00:41:59,349 --> 00:41:56,880
us this morning

927
00:42:00,710 --> 00:41:59,359
is tori wills pedrotty

928
00:42:02,550 --> 00:42:00,720
you might remember from our launch

929
00:42:05,430 --> 00:42:02,560
coverage a couple days ago

930
00:42:07,030 --> 00:42:05,440
torrey is a an expert on the heat shield

931
00:42:08,390 --> 00:42:07,040
of starliner and many of the other

932
00:42:10,150 --> 00:42:08,400
systems

933
00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:10,160
tori what are you thinking what are you

934
00:42:15,190 --> 00:42:12,480
thinking right now as as we proceed

935
00:42:16,550 --> 00:42:15,200
towards this reentry with with starliner

936
00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:16,560
in a good attitude

937
00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:18,160
and heading over the pacific on the way

938
00:42:21,910 --> 00:42:19,839
to white sands

939
00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:21,920
so thanks steve this is this is a really

940
00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:24,160
exciting morning right for starliner to

941
00:42:29,270 --> 00:42:26,880
be able to show not only a good sm

942
00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:29,280
separation but also a good attitude

943
00:42:32,870 --> 00:42:31,200
coming down into white sands so

944
00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:32,880
this is just a really good place to be

945
00:42:36,550 --> 00:42:35,040
in for the vehicle and it's going to be

946
00:42:38,710 --> 00:42:36,560
upcoming here soon then we're going to

947
00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:38,720
get to test the heat shield we have

948
00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:40,880
tested that heat shield here

949
00:42:44,870 --> 00:42:42,400
in the atmosphere

950
00:42:47,109 --> 00:42:44,880
at ames with nasa a couple different

951
00:42:49,190 --> 00:42:47,119
times in an arc jet uh which is really

952
00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:49,200
cool and as close as we can get to those

953
00:42:53,670 --> 00:42:52,079
really hot atmospheric temperatures on

954
00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:53,680
earth but there's nothing like a flight

955
00:42:57,430 --> 00:42:56,000
test to prove the safety and reliability

956
00:42:59,109 --> 00:42:57,440
of something as important as the heat

957
00:43:01,349 --> 00:42:59,119
shield

958
00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,359
and now that we are let's see 11 and a

959
00:43:05,910 --> 00:43:03,839
half minutes away from uh from beginning

960
00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:05,920
to experience entry interface it's

961
00:43:08,950 --> 00:43:07,760
really coming down to the to the crunch

962
00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:08,960
time

963
00:43:12,630 --> 00:43:10,640
yeah it is and

964
00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:12,640
again this is just really exciting and

965
00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:14,800
it's going to be a really good test of

966
00:43:18,309 --> 00:43:16,800
that heat shield now a good thing to

967
00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:18,319
remember about the heat shield is that

968
00:43:23,670 --> 00:43:20,880
it's a game of threes so the heat shield

969
00:43:25,030 --> 00:43:23,680
is going to see about 3000 degrees at

970
00:43:28,390 --> 00:43:25,040
entry interface and it's going to

971
00:43:31,510 --> 00:43:28,400
convert that heat to about 300 degrees

972
00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:31,520
on the interior of that inner mold line

973
00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:33,839
with about three inches of ablater so

974
00:43:37,349 --> 00:43:35,680
it's a really great technology that

975
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:37,359
boeing has developed the boeing

976
00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:38,960
lightweight ablator that we have on the

977
00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:42,480
vehicle so it's it's really exciting to

978
00:43:47,030 --> 00:43:45,359
be able to test it here and also we have

979
00:43:48,790 --> 00:43:47,040
seen some successful parts of this test

980
00:43:50,870 --> 00:43:48,800
already during pad abort we saw a very

981
00:43:53,990 --> 00:43:50,880
successful base heat shield jettison

982
00:43:55,430 --> 00:43:54,000
which happens at about 3 000 feet so

983
00:43:56,950 --> 00:43:55,440
some parts of this we've already seen

984
00:43:59,030 --> 00:43:56,960
but right now we're just really looking

985
00:44:00,790 --> 00:43:59,040
to see how the ablator

986
00:44:02,309 --> 00:44:00,800
performs during this uncrewed flight

987
00:44:04,870 --> 00:44:02,319
test

988
00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:04,880
hopefully it'll all go just as expected

989
00:44:08,150 --> 00:44:06,560
um assuming that

990
00:44:10,470 --> 00:44:08,160
we're back it does go expecting we're

991
00:44:12,630 --> 00:44:10,480
back next time with crew on board what

992
00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:12,640
would they be feeling at this point

993
00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:14,560
so at this point from a thermal

994
00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:16,000
perspective they would not be feeling

995
00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:17,760
anything different than what they would

996
00:44:21,109 --> 00:44:19,440
feel during the rest of the rest of the

997
00:44:24,069 --> 00:44:21,119
trip the interior of the vehicle is

998
00:44:26,309 --> 00:44:24,079
around 70 to 75 degrees and is very

999
00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:26,319
comfortable for the crew

1000
00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:28,560
it's all in the exterior of the vehicle

1001
00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:30,319
that they would that you would see those

1002
00:44:35,109 --> 00:44:32,720
really high heat waves those heat loads

1003
00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:35,119
they would be seeing a very cool light

1004
00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:36,960
show outside of their window right now

1005
00:44:40,309 --> 00:44:38,400
as some of that

1006
00:44:42,630 --> 00:44:40,319
that thermal effects start to take place

1007
00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:42,640
and you start to see the aero heating

1008
00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:45,680
sphere occur around the vehicle

1009
00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:48,000
and tori the the heat shield for star

1010
00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:49,440
liner of course you have the base heat

1011
00:44:52,630 --> 00:44:50,720
shield which is the main thing that

1012
00:44:54,870 --> 00:44:52,640
we're talking about but the uh

1013
00:44:56,550 --> 00:44:54,880
the whole vehicle has the has a thermal

1014
00:44:57,829 --> 00:44:56,560
protection is that right yes that's

1015
00:45:00,309 --> 00:44:57,839
correct so

1016
00:45:02,150 --> 00:45:00,319
uh the quilted looking blanket that is

1017
00:45:04,069 --> 00:45:02,160
on the top of starliner that has that

1018
00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:04,079
gray color is

1019
00:45:08,550 --> 00:45:06,480
is actually a type of thermal protection

1020
00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:08,560
system a tps so that is a thermal

1021
00:45:13,109 --> 00:45:11,440
blanket made out of a bunch of different

1022
00:45:15,349 --> 00:45:13,119
uh

1023
00:45:17,270 --> 00:45:15,359
layers and thicknesses of a quilted

1024
00:45:19,670 --> 00:45:17,280
material that is actually sewn together

1025
00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:19,680
and then epoxied onto the outside of

1026
00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:21,440
starliner and

1027
00:45:24,790 --> 00:45:22,800
while those

1028
00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:24,800
that part of the vehicle will not see

1029
00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:26,800
the high heat that the base heat shield

1030
00:45:30,630 --> 00:45:27,760
will

1031
00:45:33,190 --> 00:45:30,640
that gray color and the density of that

1032
00:45:35,510 --> 00:45:33,200
tps still protects the vehicle not only

1033
00:45:37,430 --> 00:45:35,520
from the high heat of re-entry but also

1034
00:45:39,270 --> 00:45:37,440
from the really cold temperatures when

1035
00:45:40,550 --> 00:45:39,280
we're on orbit so both of those are

1036
00:45:42,550 --> 00:45:40,560
important when we think about thermal

1037
00:45:44,550 --> 00:45:42,560
protection systems

1038
00:45:46,230 --> 00:45:44,560
outstanding point tori

1039
00:45:48,309 --> 00:45:46,240
at starliner mission control we are

1040
00:45:50,309 --> 00:45:48,319
eight minutes 50 seconds away from entry

1041
00:45:51,829 --> 00:45:50,319
interface which is the point at which

1042
00:45:54,550 --> 00:45:51,839
starliner starts to encounter the

1043
00:45:56,710 --> 00:45:54,560
hottest parts of re-entry starliner is

1044
00:45:58,870 --> 00:45:56,720
in its current uh is in the proper

1045
00:46:01,829 --> 00:45:58,880
attitude currently its base heat shield

1046
00:46:03,829 --> 00:46:01,839
pointed in its direction of travel

1047
00:46:05,910 --> 00:46:03,839
tory entry interface it's something

1048
00:46:08,309 --> 00:46:05,920
you've been looking at for a long time

1049
00:46:10,710 --> 00:46:08,319
and now we're coming up to it

1050
00:46:12,710 --> 00:46:10,720
yes so when we did analysis on the heat

1051
00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:12,720
shield and when we were designing and

1052
00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:15,040
you know testing it entry interface is

1053
00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:17,280
really when we would start caring about

1054
00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:18,880
the thermal loads the heat shield would

1055
00:46:22,790 --> 00:46:20,960
see before that the heat shield is

1056
00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:22,800
protected by the sm

1057
00:46:26,230 --> 00:46:24,160
because

1058
00:46:28,950 --> 00:46:26,240
we don't want it to be affected by any

1059
00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:28,960
micro meteor debris or anything like

1060
00:46:32,150 --> 00:46:30,720
that so having the sm cover the heat

1061
00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:32,160
shield is really important until we're

1062
00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:34,720
ready to use it because we want it to be

1063
00:46:38,550 --> 00:46:36,880
at the exact thickness that we analyzed

1064
00:46:41,670 --> 00:46:38,560
to so it's able to perform its job to

1065
00:46:45,910 --> 00:46:43,670
can you give us an idea of how how

1066
00:46:49,270 --> 00:46:45,920
precisely that analysis goes

1067
00:46:51,430 --> 00:46:49,280
yes so each area of the heat shield is

1068
00:46:54,309 --> 00:46:51,440
actually lofted so if you look at the

1069
00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:54,319
heat shield as you know it as a layer of

1070
00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:55,520
like a grid

1071
00:47:01,270 --> 00:46:57,599
each point on that grid is at a

1072
00:47:02,870 --> 00:47:01,280
different thickness to be able to cover

1073
00:47:05,510 --> 00:47:02,880
all of the heating that we would see

1074
00:47:08,470 --> 00:47:05,520
during multiple different re-entry

1075
00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:08,480
trajectories but also able to have it as

1076
00:47:13,670 --> 00:47:10,240
thin as possible to be as lightweight as

1077
00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,680
possible so we really worked to um

1078
00:47:16,950 --> 00:47:15,359
make the heat shield the most efficient

1079
00:47:18,230 --> 00:47:16,960
it could be while also being as the

1080
00:47:21,910 --> 00:47:18,240
lightweight as it could be so that we're

1081
00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:21,920
able to carry more cargo or more crew

1082
00:47:27,030 --> 00:47:25,359
to station when we eventually go there

1083
00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:27,040
well how long after entry interface

1084
00:47:30,630 --> 00:47:28,400
would you say that the heat chill has

1085
00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:30,640
kind of done its job when when will you

1086
00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:32,160
sigh with relief

1087
00:47:36,710 --> 00:47:34,480
so when we release the drug parachutes

1088
00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:36,720
at that point the heat shield has taken

1089
00:47:41,109 --> 00:47:39,440
the brunt of the heat forces and by the

1090
00:47:43,030 --> 00:47:41,119
time that we're ready to release those

1091
00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:43,040
drugs the heat shield has done almost

1092
00:47:47,109 --> 00:47:45,520
all of its work we performed analysis

1093
00:47:49,829 --> 00:47:47,119
all the way up until the heat shield

1094
00:47:50,710 --> 00:47:49,839
will actually drop at about 3000 feet

1095
00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:50,720
but

1096
00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:52,640
once we start releasing those parachutes

1097
00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:54,000
i'm going to have a big old sigh of

1098
00:47:56,950 --> 00:47:55,440
relief now

1099
00:47:58,710 --> 00:47:56,960
when the vehicle comes back and if we

1100
00:48:00,549 --> 00:47:58,720
get any shots of that the ablater is

1101
00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:00,559
going to look black it's going to be

1102
00:48:05,190 --> 00:48:02,880
charred it's going to have that sort of

1103
00:48:08,069 --> 00:48:05,200
crusty looking appearance and that is

1104
00:48:09,829 --> 00:48:08,079
exactly what we expect because

1105
00:48:11,990 --> 00:48:09,839
when how an ablater works is it

1106
00:48:14,710 --> 00:48:12,000
transfers heat into gas and by doing

1107
00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:14,720
that it charges the material so

1108
00:48:18,710 --> 00:48:17,200
when the material is uh when it's new

1109
00:48:20,950 --> 00:48:18,720
and when it hasn't seen any heat yet

1110
00:48:22,069 --> 00:48:20,960
it's white but if we see it's black as

1111
00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:22,079
it's coming back that means that it

1112
00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:23,280
actually worked and we've transferred

1113
00:48:28,470 --> 00:48:25,440
that heat into gas

1114
00:48:31,910 --> 00:48:28,480
and dory you're of course uh an expert

1115
00:48:33,349 --> 00:48:31,920
on another starliner system the interior

1116
00:48:34,710 --> 00:48:33,359
camera system

1117
00:48:36,470 --> 00:48:34,720
we of course

1118
00:48:38,710 --> 00:48:36,480
have had a lot of

1119
00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:38,720
a lot of interest on that but but as we

1120
00:48:42,470 --> 00:48:40,480
understand it

1121
00:48:45,030 --> 00:48:42,480
we think we'll be able to uh to have

1122
00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:45,040
those interior views of rosie and the

1123
00:48:49,109 --> 00:48:46,400
commander's seat

1124
00:48:51,430 --> 00:48:49,119
throughout from from this mission

1125
00:48:54,309 --> 00:48:51,440
yes that's correct steve so uh the

1126
00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:54,319
interior system for the camera uh for

1127
00:48:58,390 --> 00:48:56,559
oft it's recorded alm it was supposed to

1128
00:49:00,790 --> 00:48:58,400
record the entire flight we definitely

1129
00:49:02,230 --> 00:49:00,800
got all of the uphill and then when we

1130
00:49:03,829 --> 00:49:02,240
got into our orbit and we were

1131
00:49:05,670 --> 00:49:03,839
stationary we did you have to do some

1132
00:49:07,510 --> 00:49:05,680
powering down so the camera system was

1133
00:49:09,270 --> 00:49:07,520
powered down for a short amount of time

1134
00:49:11,670 --> 00:49:09,280
but then it came back on and we powered

1135
00:49:14,069 --> 00:49:11,680
it back on as we started to do uh

1136
00:49:17,270 --> 00:49:14,079
reentry so we'll be able to see rosie

1137
00:49:18,870 --> 00:49:17,280
and snoopy not only on the uphill ride

1138
00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:18,880
and as we orbit a little bit but also

1139
00:49:22,390 --> 00:49:20,160
during this re-entry so that's going to

1140
00:49:24,710 --> 00:49:22,400
be really valuable engineering data for

1141
00:49:26,710 --> 00:49:24,720
the teams to be able to see

1142
00:49:28,069 --> 00:49:26,720
how rosie is affected as well as using

1143
00:49:30,069 --> 00:49:28,079
her sensor data

1144
00:49:32,069 --> 00:49:30,079
but also it's going to be great to be

1145
00:49:34,069 --> 00:49:32,079
able to show the american public

1146
00:49:37,109 --> 00:49:34,079
what sort of ride they expect we have

1147
00:49:38,710 --> 00:49:37,119
four cameras in the vehicle um and one

1148
00:49:40,470 --> 00:49:38,720
one of those is actually pointed out the

1149
00:49:42,470 --> 00:49:40,480
window so you're gonna see some really

1150
00:49:45,190 --> 00:49:42,480
cool uh hopefully views of the earth and

1151
00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:45,200
then um you know that that heat that we

1152
00:49:49,109 --> 00:49:46,240
expect around the heat shield during

1153
00:49:50,710 --> 00:49:49,119
re-entry so excited to to get that off

1154
00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:50,720
the vehicle when it gets home

1155
00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:53,040
it's an exciting time we did have a

1156
00:49:58,069 --> 00:49:55,280
starliner performance deorbit burn at 6

1157
00:49:59,829 --> 00:49:58,079
23 am central today putting it on its

1158
00:50:02,710 --> 00:49:59,839
journey back towards a landing in new

1159
00:50:04,150 --> 00:50:02,720
mexico just 20 minutes away from now um

1160
00:50:05,349 --> 00:50:04,160
we'll be coming up on that entry

1161
00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:05,359
interface that we've been talking about

1162
00:50:08,790 --> 00:50:07,520
in about four and a half minutes but

1163
00:50:10,710 --> 00:50:08,800
we'll keep talking with tori for a

1164
00:50:13,349 --> 00:50:10,720
little longer

1165
00:50:16,790 --> 00:50:13,359
victoria speaking of the camera system

1166
00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:16,800
um it's of course made for uh made for

1167
00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:18,800
the crew that's going to be flying this

1168
00:50:23,349 --> 00:50:21,280
same vehicle after pcm and of course

1169
00:50:25,510 --> 00:50:23,359
before that there'll be the crude flight

1170
00:50:28,230 --> 00:50:25,520
test mission with boeing astronaut chris

1171
00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:28,240
ferguson and s astronaut nicole mann

1172
00:50:32,309 --> 00:50:29,359
and uh

1173
00:50:33,829 --> 00:50:32,319
mike fink um what are what are some of

1174
00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:33,839
what are some of the models that you

1175
00:50:39,910 --> 00:50:37,440
followed before for um for really

1176
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:39,920
what the crew wants to uh for what the

1177
00:50:44,710 --> 00:50:42,160
crew wants to show what uh

1178
00:50:47,030 --> 00:50:44,720
what's important to them to be seen

1179
00:50:49,349 --> 00:50:47,040
so we designed this camera system

1180
00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:49,359
extensively working with chris ferguson

1181
00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:51,520
and making sure that he was comfortable

1182
00:50:56,309 --> 00:50:54,640
with the views and also with um with how

1183
00:50:59,109 --> 00:50:56,319
close and up up close and personal we

1184
00:51:00,710 --> 00:50:59,119
would be inside the crew cabin so

1185
00:51:02,390 --> 00:51:00,720
that sort of data that we're going to be

1186
00:51:04,150 --> 00:51:02,400
able to get from four different camera

1187
00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:04,160
views on the interior of the starliner

1188
00:51:08,230 --> 00:51:06,240
is going to be really valuable to

1189
00:51:10,470 --> 00:51:08,240
training astronauts and how to use our

1190
00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:10,480
systems down the road and also to

1191
00:51:13,030 --> 00:51:12,079
sharing the starliner story with the

1192
00:51:14,790 --> 00:51:13,040
public

1193
00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:14,800
now for cft we're going to have some

1194
00:51:18,390 --> 00:51:17,040
enhanced capability uh we're going to be

1195
00:51:21,109 --> 00:51:18,400
able to show

1196
00:51:22,870 --> 00:51:21,119
uh docking live through the iss you'll

1197
00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:22,880
be able to see the hatch opening

1198
00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:25,119
ceremony and the crew

1199
00:51:30,230 --> 00:51:28,400
greeting the iss crew for cft so

1200
00:51:33,030 --> 00:51:30,240
that sort of being moments of being able

1201
00:51:35,510 --> 00:51:33,040
to capture is not only important for the

1202
00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:35,520
crew you know to be able to

1203
00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:37,440
to understand how the systems work and

1204
00:51:41,910 --> 00:51:39,440
to be able to train others past them but

1205
00:51:44,150 --> 00:51:41,920
also to just be able to share the story

1206
00:51:46,630 --> 00:51:44,160
and show everyone you know that we've

1207
00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:46,640
had a successful docking

1208
00:51:50,870 --> 00:51:48,800
thank you tori we are less than three

1209
00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:50,880
minutes away from starliner's entry

1210
00:51:56,309 --> 00:51:53,040
interface with the atmosphere two

1211
00:51:59,270 --> 00:51:56,319
minutes 43 seconds this puts us at 18

1212
00:52:02,630 --> 00:51:59,280
minutes 31 seconds from landing at white

1213
00:52:07,430 --> 00:52:04,710
we're already beginning to see the uh

1214
00:52:10,309 --> 00:52:07,440
the altitude drop for starliner really

1215
00:52:11,750 --> 00:52:10,319
steadily about 95 miles above the earth

1216
00:52:16,069 --> 00:52:11,760
right now and uh

1217
00:52:19,349 --> 00:52:17,750
flight director richard jones and his

1218
00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:19,359
team of mission controllers are

1219
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:34,870
currently starliner reports 147 000 feet

1220
00:52:38,309 --> 00:52:37,109
moving under the mach 25 orbital

1221
00:53:52,549 --> 00:52:38,319
velocity

1222
00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:54,470
and at starliner mission control in

1223
00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:01,349
we are 40 seconds away from entry

1224
00:54:07,510 --> 00:54:04,160
interface now 34 seconds starliner

1225
00:54:12,630 --> 00:54:07,520
continues in the proper attitude

1226
00:54:16,790 --> 00:54:12,640
altitude 127 000 feet at 127 000 meters

1227
00:54:18,630 --> 00:54:16,800
apologies 126 000 meters

1228
00:54:20,549 --> 00:54:18,640
and we are right uh right on top of that

1229
00:54:22,150 --> 00:54:20,559
entry interface this is when starliner

1230
00:54:24,390 --> 00:54:22,160
would be seeing those 3000 degrees

1231
00:54:26,390 --> 00:54:24,400
fahrenheit temperatures

1232
00:54:28,069 --> 00:54:26,400
should be just about 75 miles above the

1233
00:54:30,069 --> 00:54:28,079
earth at this point

1234
00:54:31,510 --> 00:54:30,079
we did want to make sure as people are

1235
00:54:33,430 --> 00:54:31,520
tuning in that they are aware that

1236
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:33,440
following uh starlander's touchdown we

1237
00:54:38,069 --> 00:54:35,760
will be hosting a post landing news

1238
00:54:39,990 --> 00:54:38,079
conference here on nasa tv at 9 00 am

1239
00:54:41,589 --> 00:54:40,000
central time

1240
00:54:43,349 --> 00:54:41,599
that's going to feature jim bridenstine

1241
00:54:45,349 --> 00:54:43,359
the nasa administrator

1242
00:54:52,549 --> 00:54:45,359
jim tilton from boeing and steve stitch

1243
00:54:52,559 --> 00:55:32,710
the incorrect

1244
00:55:37,510 --> 00:55:34,710
and starliner is

1245
00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:37,520
a minute into entry interface into that

1246
00:55:41,910 --> 00:55:39,440
phase of

1247
00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:41,920
maximum heating during this uh

1248
00:55:45,910 --> 00:55:43,760
re-entry

1249
00:55:48,950 --> 00:55:45,920
back over the pacific

1250
00:55:51,109 --> 00:55:48,960
starliner is flying as a crew module

1251
00:55:52,470 --> 00:55:51,119
alone the service module has been

1252
00:55:58,390 --> 00:55:52,480
jettisoned

1253
00:56:04,069 --> 00:56:01,990
altitude 104 000 meters

1254
00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:04,079
entire team here in the room is uh

1255
00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:05,760
quietly watching

1256
00:56:09,670 --> 00:56:07,440
making sure all the systems continue to

1257
00:56:12,390 --> 00:56:09,680
look good we've also got a number of

1258
00:56:13,510 --> 00:56:12,400
vips in the viewing room as well

1259
00:56:15,910 --> 00:56:13,520
we've got

1260
00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:15,920
nasa's administrator jim breidenstein as

1261
00:56:21,589 --> 00:56:18,880
well as boeing's jim chilton and

1262
00:56:29,430 --> 00:56:21,599
the the boeing defense in space ceo

1263
00:56:32,470 --> 00:56:31,510
and we are seeing now on the landing

1264
00:56:34,230 --> 00:56:32,480
track

1265
00:56:39,510 --> 00:56:34,240
here in mission control

1266
00:56:39,520 --> 00:57:00,470
as starliner moves over the pacific

1267
00:57:04,549 --> 00:57:03,349
starliner is 13 minutes 27 seconds from

1268
00:57:30,470 --> 00:57:04,559
landing

1269
00:57:35,750 --> 00:57:32,950
starliner is entering the

1270
00:57:38,630 --> 00:57:35,760
expected blackout region when the plasma

1271
00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:38,640
forms over the spacecraft and the

1272
00:57:41,829 --> 00:57:39,760
antennas

1273
00:57:43,990 --> 00:57:41,839
cannot adequately

1274
00:57:48,150 --> 00:57:44,000
communicate with the

1275
00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:51,510
currently 51 miles above the earth still

1276
00:57:54,150 --> 00:57:52,960
heading in

1277
00:57:55,829 --> 00:57:54,160
making its way through that entry

1278
00:57:58,150 --> 00:57:55,839
interface about three minutes into it at

1279
00:57:59,750 --> 00:57:58,160
this point the next uh next milestone

1280
00:58:03,030 --> 00:57:59,760
we'll be looking for is the forward heat

1281
00:58:06,710 --> 00:58:03,040
shield jettison that should be coming up

1282
00:58:10,950 --> 00:58:08,789
controllers report good attitude good

1283
00:58:18,789 --> 00:58:10,960
roll to the

1284
00:58:18,799 --> 00:58:47,510
starliner at 75 000 meters

1285
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,630
jesus

1286
00:58:54,390 --> 00:58:52,230
starliner moving through earth's

1287
00:58:55,910 --> 00:58:54,400
atmosphere going through the

1288
00:58:58,069 --> 00:58:55,920
injury phase

1289
00:59:01,109 --> 00:58:58,079
11 minutes 30 seconds to landing at

1290
00:59:02,950 --> 00:59:01,119
white sands where a team of

1291
00:59:05,349 --> 00:59:02,960
specialists are

1292
00:59:07,990 --> 00:59:05,359
waiting to recover the vehicle

1293
00:59:10,710 --> 00:59:08,000
this vehicle will be reused after this

1294
00:59:13,109 --> 00:59:10,720
mission it'll be taken to the starliner

1295
00:59:23,910 --> 00:59:13,119
factory in florida and refurbished

1296
00:59:49,109 --> 00:59:25,670
it will be flown

1297
00:59:55,030 --> 00:59:51,829
five minutes into entry interface we are

1298
00:59:57,910 --> 00:59:55,040
now 10 minutes 34 seconds before landing

1299
01:00:00,950 --> 00:59:57,920
at white sands new mexico starliner is

1300
01:00:12,630 --> 01:00:00,960
controllers report the spacecraft is in

1301
01:00:16,069 --> 01:00:14,549
about five minutes away what from when

1302
01:00:17,829 --> 01:00:16,079
we expect that forward heat shield

1303
01:00:19,270 --> 01:00:17,839
jettison the first of the heat shields

1304
01:00:21,190 --> 01:00:19,280
that will be jettisoned

1305
01:00:22,710 --> 01:00:21,200
in the meantime we've got uh 10 minutes

1306
01:00:24,069 --> 01:00:22,720
until landing and the starliner will be

1307
01:00:25,910 --> 01:00:24,079
heading in the next few minutes over the

1308
01:00:28,630 --> 01:00:25,920
baja peninsula

1309
01:00:31,109 --> 01:00:28,640
part of mexico and then into new new

1310
01:00:33,109 --> 01:00:31,119
mexico in the white house white sands

1311
01:00:35,190 --> 01:00:33,119
space harbor

1312
01:00:37,349 --> 01:00:35,200
and we have confirmation that the

1313
01:00:40,309 --> 01:00:37,359
on-site vehicle at white sands the

1314
01:00:54,069 --> 01:00:40,319
tracking vehicle is tracking starliner

1315
01:00:54,079 --> 01:01:18,870
9 minutes 30 seconds to landing

1316
01:01:22,950 --> 01:01:21,829
and fido reports that starliner is on

1317
01:01:24,870 --> 01:01:22,960
track

1318
01:01:27,270 --> 01:01:24,880
continuing its descent

1319
01:01:28,470 --> 01:01:27,280
to white sands new mexico altitude 51

1320
01:01:30,789 --> 01:01:28,480
000 meters

1321
01:02:03,109 --> 01:01:30,799
it's about 32 miles above mexico at the

1322
01:02:03,119 --> 01:02:07,910
here

1323
01:02:12,470 --> 01:02:10,390
i'm getting our first views

1324
01:02:15,589 --> 01:02:12,480
we are getting our first views from the

1325
01:02:17,829 --> 01:02:15,599
nasa wb-57 we see

1326
01:02:19,589 --> 01:02:17,839
we see their starliner continuing its

1327
01:02:21,510 --> 01:02:19,599
plunge through the atmosphere we are

1328
01:02:24,710 --> 01:02:21,520
eight minutes and eight seconds from

1329
01:02:28,630 --> 01:02:27,190
that image is infrared because of it

1330
01:02:31,990 --> 01:02:28,640
being

1331
01:02:34,870 --> 01:02:32,000
dark of course over the skies of uh

1332
01:02:37,990 --> 01:02:34,880
of new mexico right now

1333
01:02:40,309 --> 01:02:38,000
still about 28 miles above the earth

1334
01:02:41,910 --> 01:02:40,319
as it continues making its way uh just

1335
01:02:43,109 --> 01:02:41,920
about crossing over the new mexico

1336
01:02:44,630 --> 01:02:43,119
border now

1337
01:02:47,190 --> 01:02:44,640
this video again coming from one of

1338
01:02:51,109 --> 01:02:47,200
nasa's wb-57 planes using infrared

1339
01:02:55,670 --> 01:02:53,190
all systems are reported

1340
01:03:00,230 --> 01:02:55,680
doing well spacecraft is doing well

1341
01:03:03,270 --> 01:03:01,910
seven half minutes till landing and just

1342
01:03:05,029 --> 01:03:03,280
a couple minutes now until we should

1343
01:03:21,270 --> 01:03:05,039
hear about the forward heat shield

1344
01:03:25,510 --> 01:03:23,349
great view here you can't see much since

1345
01:03:28,789 --> 01:03:25,520
it's dark but uh it's good to know that

1346
01:03:30,630 --> 01:03:28,799
starliner is on its way home and and

1347
01:03:32,630 --> 01:03:30,640
this is actually a little little better

1348
01:03:36,309 --> 01:03:32,640
than i was hoping considering that it's

1349
01:03:40,230 --> 01:03:37,990
very good to see this very good to see

1350
01:03:43,990 --> 01:03:40,240
this everything is looking

1351
01:03:46,150 --> 01:03:44,000
that image is exactly what we expect

1352
01:03:47,750 --> 01:03:46,160
the thermal protection system on

1353
01:03:52,549 --> 01:03:47,760
starliner of course protecting the

1354
01:03:57,190 --> 01:03:52,559
spacecraft from the heat of of entry

1355
01:03:59,430 --> 01:03:57,200
slowing speed down now mach 3.5

1356
01:04:01,829 --> 01:03:59,440
of course orbital velocity is mach 25 so

1357
01:04:04,710 --> 01:04:01,839
that gives you an idea of the velocity

1358
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:25,829
now 17 miles above new mexico

1359
01:04:28,710 --> 01:04:27,430
six minutes to landing at white sands

1360
01:04:30,470 --> 01:04:28,720
new mexico

1361
01:04:37,190 --> 01:04:30,480
starliner remains

1362
01:05:19,270 --> 01:04:39,670
speed mach 1.1

1363
01:05:36,069 --> 01:05:21,349
landing recovery team has visual on

1364
01:05:36,079 --> 01:05:40,549
ten thousand feet

1365
01:05:44,789 --> 01:05:42,789
it's about 6.2 miles still above new

1366
01:05:47,029 --> 01:05:44,799
mexico but uh

1367
01:05:48,470 --> 01:05:47,039
we did just forward heat shield deploy

1368
01:05:52,230 --> 01:05:48,480
confirmation of that forward heat shield

1369
01:05:58,150 --> 01:05:52,240
deploy everything drugs out

1370
01:06:02,069 --> 01:05:59,990
the drugs will start stabilizing the

1371
01:06:05,910 --> 01:06:02,079
starliner and slowing it down before the

1372
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:11,109
main parachutes rather not each shield

1373
01:06:21,029 --> 01:06:13,589
vehicle is slowing rapidly

1374
01:06:32,710 --> 01:06:23,190
and landing site reports the sonic booms

1375
01:06:36,470 --> 01:06:34,950
and we can see on that image the uh the

1376
01:06:57,510 --> 01:06:36,480
two pilot shoots

1377
01:07:18,789 --> 01:07:01,430
three minutes 30 seconds from landing

1378
01:07:22,870 --> 01:07:20,950
and we see three main shoots

1379
01:07:31,670 --> 01:07:22,880
three main shoots

1380
01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:31,680
and blue as

1381
01:07:40,870 --> 01:07:34,319
starliner descends

1382
01:07:46,630 --> 01:07:43,029
and the rotation handle has deployed

1383
01:07:48,549 --> 01:07:46,640
that will level starliner as it descends

1384
01:07:51,750 --> 01:07:48,559
basic shield has jettison that is the

1385
01:07:53,990 --> 01:07:51,760
base heat shield falling away as planned

1386
01:07:55,510 --> 01:07:54,000
airbags are inflating

1387
01:07:57,510 --> 01:07:55,520
and that is the last of the milestones

1388
01:07:59,029 --> 01:07:57,520
so now all left is for starliner to

1389
01:08:01,589 --> 01:07:59,039
float down to the

1390
01:08:03,910 --> 01:08:01,599
surface of the desert in new mexico

1391
01:08:05,750 --> 01:08:03,920
everything continuing to look good uh on

1392
01:08:07,349 --> 01:08:05,760
this camera that we're getting from the

1393
01:08:10,390 --> 01:08:07,359
wp57

1394
01:08:11,349 --> 01:08:10,400
uh cameras infrared cameras

1395
01:08:12,870 --> 01:08:11,359
giving us

1396
01:08:15,750 --> 01:08:12,880
as good of view as we could expect at

1397
01:08:19,269 --> 01:08:17,430
two minutes 12 seconds to landing

1398
01:08:44,309 --> 01:08:19,279
starliner descending under three good

1399
01:08:48,870 --> 01:08:46,229
all six airbags are confirmed to have

1400
01:08:50,829 --> 01:08:48,880
deployed and they are fully inflated as

1401
01:08:53,990 --> 01:08:50,839
starliner

1402
01:08:57,349 --> 01:08:54,000
descends the desert down in white sands

1403
01:09:03,430 --> 01:08:57,359
just about 800 meters left to go

1404
01:09:29,910 --> 01:09:05,749
great great imagery there of it

1405
01:09:33,430 --> 01:09:31,669
less than one minute to landing less

1406
01:09:36,070 --> 01:09:33,440
than one minute to touchdown at white

1407
01:09:37,990 --> 01:09:36,080
sands new mexico starliner

1408
01:09:59,110 --> 01:09:38,000
floating smoothly and softly under three

1409
01:10:04,229 --> 01:10:02,070
just 300 meters left to go that's 984

1410
01:10:07,990 --> 01:10:04,239
feet

1411
01:10:49,350 --> 01:10:10,310
20 seconds 20 seconds to landing the

1412
01:10:52,149 --> 01:10:50,229
and

1413
01:10:54,310 --> 01:10:52,159
starliner touches down in the desert in

1414
01:10:56,149 --> 01:10:54,320
new mexico and historic landing in white

1415
01:10:57,590 --> 01:10:56,159
sands new mexico concludes the first

1416
01:10:59,350 --> 01:10:57,600
flight test of boeing starliner

1417
01:11:01,669 --> 01:10:59,360
spacecraft the first time an

1418
01:11:04,470 --> 01:11:01,679
american-made human-rated capsule has

1419
01:11:08,229 --> 01:11:04,480
landed on land that took place right at

1420
01:11:11,990 --> 01:11:08,239
6 58 a.m central time two days one hours

1421
01:11:13,830 --> 01:11:12,000
and 21 minutes into starliner's mission

1422
01:11:16,470 --> 01:11:13,840
congratulations starliner

1423
01:11:18,870 --> 01:11:16,480
congratulations indeed

1424
01:11:20,870 --> 01:11:18,880
flawless flight back to earth

1425
01:11:22,229 --> 01:11:20,880
good landing this morning now the

1426
01:11:23,110 --> 01:11:22,239
spotlight is going to shift a little bit

1427
01:11:25,189 --> 01:11:23,120
to the

1428
01:11:27,110 --> 01:11:25,199
landing recovery team waiting for it out

1429
01:11:29,110 --> 01:11:27,120
there in new mexico they have to wait

1430
01:11:30,950 --> 01:11:29,120
for clearance before they

1431
01:11:33,590 --> 01:11:30,960
start heading over to the vehicle but

1432
01:11:37,430 --> 01:11:33,600
starliner has touched down at white

1433
01:11:41,270 --> 01:11:39,510
main shoots are jettisoned

1434
01:11:43,430 --> 01:11:41,280
that'll keep those shoots from pulling

1435
01:11:45,270 --> 01:11:43,440
uh starliner away as the landing

1436
01:11:56,070 --> 01:11:45,280
recovery team is

1437
01:12:02,709 --> 01:11:58,550
once again today's landing time was uh 6

1438
01:12:05,110 --> 01:12:02,719
58 a.m central time or 5 58 a.m mountain

1439
01:12:08,390 --> 01:12:05,120
time local for starliner

1440
01:12:10,390 --> 01:12:08,400
that again was two days one hour and 21

1441
01:12:13,510 --> 01:12:10,400
minutes into starliner's

1442
01:12:15,510 --> 01:12:13,520
historic orbital flight test

1443
01:12:17,590 --> 01:12:15,520
and starliner systems have switched to

1444
01:12:19,270 --> 01:12:17,600
ground mode

1445
01:12:21,110 --> 01:12:19,280
right now that means the

1446
01:12:23,110 --> 01:12:21,120
vehicle is taking the steps it needs

1447
01:12:27,669 --> 01:12:23,120
mission control remains in command of

1448
01:12:33,669 --> 01:12:30,070
we will soon see the landing recovery

1449
01:12:38,229 --> 01:12:36,070
and we're going now to uh boeing's josh

1450
01:12:39,669 --> 01:12:38,239
barrett out with the landing recovery

1451
01:12:41,270 --> 01:12:39,679
team josh it was a beautiful landing

1452
01:12:45,189 --> 01:12:41,280
from here i can only imagine how it is

1453
01:12:49,189 --> 01:12:47,189
steve it was a beautiful landing from

1454
01:12:50,310 --> 01:12:49,199
here we had a spotlight on the ground we

1455
01:12:51,990 --> 01:12:50,320
could actually see some of those

1456
01:12:53,430 --> 01:12:52,000
ordinance fires up in the upper

1457
01:12:55,669 --> 01:12:53,440
atmosphere when that ford heat shield

1458
01:12:57,270 --> 01:12:55,679
was deploying we could see the strobing

1459
01:12:59,590 --> 01:12:57,280
light on the vehicle all the way down

1460
01:13:01,750 --> 01:12:59,600
and then when those parachutes deployed

1461
01:13:03,990 --> 01:13:01,760
in the spotlight it looked almost

1462
01:13:06,310 --> 01:13:04,000
ghostly as it drifted down and touched

1463
01:13:08,709 --> 01:13:06,320
down at 558 here as you can see we are

1464
01:13:11,189 --> 01:13:08,719
moving in the convoy right now

1465
01:13:12,630 --> 01:13:11,199
we've got our h2 which is actually the

1466
01:13:14,149 --> 01:13:12,640
connection that i'm talking to you guys

1467
01:13:15,590 --> 01:13:14,159
back from right now

1468
01:13:17,669 --> 01:13:15,600
right in front of us

1469
01:13:19,669 --> 01:13:17,679
our recovery operations leader we call

1470
01:13:21,830 --> 01:13:19,679
him roll he's in contact with the

1471
01:13:23,830 --> 01:13:21,840
recovery operations coordinator that's

1472
01:13:25,669 --> 01:13:23,840
rock and roll for you

1473
01:13:26,709 --> 01:13:25,679
they are leading us out to the crew

1474
01:13:28,630 --> 01:13:26,719
module

1475
01:13:31,189 --> 01:13:28,640
i can actually see it strobing out in

1476
01:13:33,270 --> 01:13:31,199
the distance on the horizon we have the

1477
01:13:35,270 --> 01:13:33,280
gps coordinates locked in

1478
01:13:36,709 --> 01:13:35,280
that strobe is still going on so we're

1479
01:13:38,790 --> 01:13:36,719
just going to follow that all the way

1480
01:13:40,630 --> 01:13:38,800
into the crew module and then once again

1481
01:13:42,709 --> 01:13:40,640
gold team will be the first to approach

1482
01:13:44,709 --> 01:13:42,719
the vehicle we heard the radio call that

1483
01:13:47,510 --> 01:13:44,719
there's no hazardous conditions for the

1484
01:13:49,030 --> 01:13:47,520
lrt that's the landing and recovery team

1485
01:13:50,630 --> 01:13:49,040
but we still want to make sure that

1486
01:13:52,709 --> 01:13:50,640
everything is safe before the teams get

1487
01:13:54,790 --> 01:13:52,719
around the vehicle so again gold team is

1488
01:13:56,790 --> 01:13:54,800
going to approach the vehicle sniff out

1489
01:13:59,030 --> 01:13:56,800
make sure there's no residual hydrazine

1490
01:14:00,870 --> 01:13:59,040
on the outside or there's no propellant

1491
01:14:02,870 --> 01:14:00,880
leaks silver team's going to go in and

1492
01:14:05,110 --> 01:14:02,880
discharge the vehicle and then green

1493
01:14:06,630 --> 01:14:05,120
team is going to go to go in and start

1494
01:14:07,510 --> 01:14:06,640
getting that environmental closure

1495
01:14:09,110 --> 01:14:07,520
around

1496
01:14:10,550 --> 01:14:09,120
the vehicle and

1497
01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:10,560
get some ground heating to it because

1498
01:14:14,149 --> 01:14:11,920
it's so cold we want to make sure those

1499
01:14:15,189 --> 01:14:14,159
propellant lines don't freeze and then

1500
01:14:17,510 --> 01:14:15,199
um

1501
01:14:19,030 --> 01:14:17,520
the red team moves in gets access to the

1502
01:14:21,030 --> 01:14:19,040
hatch

1503
01:14:22,790 --> 01:14:21,040
and then i think we'll probably wrap up

1504
01:14:23,910 --> 01:14:22,800
this broadcast right around hatch closer

1505
01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:23,920
when there's crew members in there

1506
01:14:27,110 --> 01:14:25,280
obviously we'll stick around until

1507
01:14:28,790 --> 01:14:27,120
everybody's out but you know today

1508
01:14:31,030 --> 01:14:28,800
getting that hatch open and getting

1509
01:14:33,110 --> 01:14:31,040
access to the interior is really uh the

1510
01:14:35,270 --> 01:14:33,120
final big milestone for the landing and

1511
01:14:37,110 --> 01:14:35,280
recovery team you know over to our east

1512
01:14:38,790 --> 01:14:37,120
we're starting to see the sun come up so

1513
01:14:40,470 --> 01:14:38,800
uh hopefully we'll have a little better

1514
01:14:42,709 --> 01:14:40,480
lighting for you as we get into these

1515
01:14:44,390 --> 01:14:42,719
operations but

1516
01:14:46,870 --> 01:14:44,400
you know just a great feeling out here

1517
01:14:48,470 --> 01:14:46,880
hearing crew module touchdown

1518
01:14:50,630 --> 01:14:48,480
on the radios just gave everyone here

1519
01:14:52,149 --> 01:14:50,640
chills there's a lot of cheers

1520
01:14:54,870 --> 01:14:52,159
very happy team and they're ready to

1521
01:14:56,950 --> 01:14:54,880
rock so back to you guys steve

1522
01:14:59,189 --> 01:14:56,960
thank you josh so great to hear that

1523
01:15:00,870 --> 01:14:59,199
richard jones flight director here at

1524
01:15:02,630 --> 01:15:00,880
mission control

1525
01:15:04,950 --> 01:15:02,640
said that uh looks like it's going to be

1526
01:15:07,669 --> 01:15:04,960
a smooth ride for cft judging by how

1527
01:15:09,350 --> 01:15:07,679
softly and smoothly this oft vehicle

1528
01:15:10,870 --> 01:15:09,360
this orbital flight test vehicle came

1529
01:15:13,110 --> 01:15:10,880
down this morning

1530
01:15:15,030 --> 01:15:13,120
i'm sure the uh the astronauts on their

1531
01:15:17,350 --> 01:15:15,040
way to see it will will get their own

1532
01:15:19,990 --> 01:15:17,360
their assessments as well hopefully uh

1533
01:15:22,390 --> 01:15:20,000
be just as enthusiastic as that i know

1534
01:15:24,149 --> 01:15:22,400
they're excited to be there um just a

1535
01:15:26,229 --> 01:15:24,159
reminder we've got a lot of work left

1536
01:15:29,270 --> 01:15:26,239
for this team here in the in the room

1537
01:15:32,630 --> 01:15:29,280
but um in just a little while we will be

1538
01:15:34,070 --> 01:15:32,640
going to a post landing news conference

1539
01:15:35,270 --> 01:15:34,080
uh that's going to be at 9 00 a.m

1540
01:15:37,189 --> 01:15:35,280
central time so we've still got a couple

1541
01:15:39,350 --> 01:15:37,199
of hours to to follow along with

1542
01:15:40,790 --> 01:15:39,360
starliner activities here on the ground

1543
01:15:43,270 --> 01:15:40,800
but we will be hearing from jim

1544
01:15:46,229 --> 01:15:43,280
bridenstine jim chilton and steve stitch

1545
01:15:47,750 --> 01:15:46,239
at that time again 9 a.m central

1546
01:15:49,750 --> 01:15:47,760
and also the

1547
01:15:52,550 --> 01:15:49,760
landing team there in new mexico there

1548
01:15:55,110 --> 01:15:52,560
in white sands reports that quote we hit

1549
01:15:57,590 --> 01:15:55,120
the bullseye so starliner came down

1550
01:15:59,910 --> 01:15:57,600
exactly where it was supposed to right

1551
01:16:03,430 --> 01:15:59,920
at white sands right where it needed to

1552
01:16:04,390 --> 01:16:03,440
be it was a spectacular spectacular

1553
01:16:08,630 --> 01:16:04,400
entry

1554
01:16:15,430 --> 01:16:11,510
remarkable images coming down

1555
01:16:20,390 --> 01:16:17,510
we're also getting our first uh our

1556
01:16:22,790 --> 01:16:20,400
first look through the darkness at the

1557
01:16:25,189 --> 01:16:22,800
starliner capsule as it sits on the

1558
01:16:27,189 --> 01:16:25,199
desert floor there in white sands

1559
01:16:30,390 --> 01:16:27,199
this picture is from our

1560
01:16:40,310 --> 01:16:30,400
recovery team as they move out towards

1561
01:16:45,590 --> 01:16:42,070
and you heard a little bit earlier from

1562
01:16:50,550 --> 01:16:45,600
two of our starliner engineers jim may

1563
01:16:58,550 --> 01:16:53,510
they are standing by in the

1564
01:17:02,630 --> 01:16:59,510
jim

1565
01:17:04,630 --> 01:17:02,640
and tori

1566
01:17:07,189 --> 01:17:04,640
look great from here new mexico reports

1567
01:17:09,189 --> 01:17:07,199
it looked good i can only imagine the uh

1568
01:17:11,669 --> 01:17:09,199
this the uh feelings that you all have

1569
01:17:14,709 --> 01:17:11,679
experienced this morning

1570
01:17:17,189 --> 01:17:14,719
thanks steve it has been an absolutely

1571
01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:17,199
amazing morning um

1572
01:17:19,669 --> 01:17:18,480
really trying just to keep it together

1573
01:17:23,669 --> 01:17:19,679
and not cry

1574
01:17:25,830 --> 01:17:23,679
online tv but um it it is a fulfillment

1575
01:17:27,830 --> 01:17:25,840
of seven and a half years of work to see

1576
01:17:30,470 --> 01:17:27,840
this happen and happen so successfully

1577
01:17:31,830 --> 01:17:30,480
and make it look so easy so this is this

1578
01:17:32,950 --> 01:17:31,840
is just an absolutely great morning for

1579
01:17:34,709 --> 01:17:32,960
me

1580
01:17:37,350 --> 01:17:34,719
that's you know i

1581
01:17:38,870 --> 01:17:37,360
i feel the same way

1582
01:17:41,189 --> 01:17:38,880
you know we've been training it's not

1583
01:17:42,950 --> 01:17:41,199
just us as engineers but um you know

1584
01:17:44,709 --> 01:17:42,960
we've put a lot of work into training

1585
01:17:46,550 --> 01:17:44,719
all of the flight crew

1586
01:17:49,110 --> 01:17:46,560
and the mission controllers as well

1587
01:17:50,709 --> 01:17:49,120
you know so being able to get them ready

1588
01:17:52,470 --> 01:17:50,719
for this flight and have them control

1589
01:17:54,870 --> 01:17:52,480
the vehicle command the vehicle to come

1590
01:17:56,709 --> 01:17:54,880
down safely in the desert

1591
01:17:58,709 --> 01:17:56,719
means good things looking forward for

1592
01:18:01,510 --> 01:17:58,719
our future crude missions as well yeah

1593
01:18:02,550 --> 01:18:01,520
and jim it's such a great synergy

1594
01:18:05,030 --> 01:18:02,560
between

1595
01:18:06,790 --> 01:18:05,040
not only the the technical systems right

1596
01:18:08,870 --> 01:18:06,800
but also our people systems we have such

1597
01:18:10,470 --> 01:18:08,880
great people on console we've had such

1598
01:18:12,550 --> 01:18:10,480
great people out in the desert and we

1599
01:18:13,910 --> 01:18:12,560
also have a a really great technical

1600
01:18:15,910 --> 01:18:13,920
vehicle so like seeing all of these

1601
01:18:18,229 --> 01:18:15,920
things happen together is because of the

1602
01:18:20,070 --> 01:18:18,239
team that really made this happen so

1603
01:18:22,149 --> 01:18:20,080
it's just excellent to see exactly the

1604
01:18:23,830 --> 01:18:22,159
team effort's great

1605
01:18:26,310 --> 01:18:23,840
and for those just joining us about

1606
01:18:29,430 --> 01:18:26,320
eight minutes ago starliner touched down

1607
01:18:30,550 --> 01:18:29,440
on the sands of white sands new mexico

1608
01:18:33,990 --> 01:18:30,560
at uh

1609
01:18:36,550 --> 01:18:34,000
6 58 a.m central time 5 58

1610
01:18:39,430 --> 01:18:36,560
a.m local mountain time out in out at

1611
01:18:44,070 --> 01:18:41,750
seeing a replay here of that touchdown

1612
01:18:45,910 --> 01:18:44,080
again it uh everything happened right on

1613
01:18:48,950 --> 01:18:45,920
time all the milestones the heat shield

1614
01:18:51,830 --> 01:18:48,960
jettisons the parachutes deployment the

1615
01:18:53,430 --> 01:18:51,840
uh airbags filling up everything

1616
01:18:57,830 --> 01:18:53,440
everything giving good indications for

1617
01:19:02,870 --> 01:19:00,950
a lot of a lot of activities of course

1618
01:19:04,149 --> 01:19:02,880
took took place the spacecraft in

1619
01:19:05,830 --> 01:19:04,159
control

1620
01:19:09,270 --> 01:19:05,840
of them

1621
01:19:11,590 --> 01:19:09,280
during that final descent tori and jim a

1622
01:19:13,830 --> 01:19:11,600
lot of things for the spacecraft to do

1623
01:19:15,669 --> 01:19:13,840
and it but it went really really well it

1624
01:19:18,149 --> 01:19:15,679
looked like from your

1625
01:19:20,070 --> 01:19:18,159
technical knowledge

1626
01:19:22,070 --> 01:19:20,080
what do you think

1627
01:19:23,990 --> 01:19:22,080
so i i just have to say that heat shield

1628
01:19:26,709 --> 01:19:24,000
jettison was one of the most beautiful

1629
01:19:28,950 --> 01:19:26,719
things i've ever seen uh it it looked

1630
01:19:31,669 --> 01:19:28,960
really good um from this end i'm really

1631
01:19:33,189 --> 01:19:31,679
excited to see some of the more up close

1632
01:19:35,669 --> 01:19:33,199
images that i'm sure we're going to get

1633
01:19:37,910 --> 01:19:35,679
from the ground team and also be able to

1634
01:19:39,510 --> 01:19:37,920
uh to really dig into the data from the

1635
01:19:41,030 --> 01:19:39,520
vehicle now that it's back here on earth

1636
01:19:42,390 --> 01:19:41,040
i i don't think we could have had a

1637
01:19:44,390 --> 01:19:42,400
better flight

1638
01:19:46,390 --> 01:19:44,400
yeah and you know the vehicle we

1639
01:19:48,070 --> 01:19:46,400
simulate this re-entry especially with

1640
01:19:49,430 --> 01:19:48,080
the the actual flight crews and the

1641
01:19:50,390 --> 01:19:49,440
mission controllers for the uncrewed

1642
01:19:53,110 --> 01:19:50,400
flight

1643
01:19:55,030 --> 01:19:53,120
but seeing the vehicle nail the bullseye

1644
01:19:56,709 --> 01:19:55,040
all of the separation and ordinance

1645
01:19:58,390 --> 01:19:56,719
events happening exactly when they plan

1646
01:20:00,550 --> 01:19:58,400
to means that we've done a really good

1647
01:20:02,070 --> 01:20:00,560
job of modeling and planning for our

1648
01:20:03,990 --> 01:20:02,080
flight with our simulations the way that

1649
01:20:06,310 --> 01:20:04,000
we train everybody so seeing that work

1650
01:20:07,830 --> 01:20:06,320
just as we plan means that we've got a

1651
01:20:10,070 --> 01:20:07,840
good background moving forward into our

1652
01:20:13,110 --> 01:20:10,080
future flights

1653
01:20:14,790 --> 01:20:13,120
and just a reminder that

1654
01:20:17,189 --> 01:20:14,800
here we are about 10 minutes after

1655
01:20:19,430 --> 01:20:17,199
landing and the starliner landing

1656
01:20:22,229 --> 01:20:19,440
recovery team is making their way out to

1657
01:20:25,189 --> 01:20:22,239
the spacecraft we will hear more from

1658
01:20:27,270 --> 01:20:25,199
from josh barrett and nasa's dan hewitt

1659
01:20:29,990 --> 01:20:27,280
as they as they get closer to the

1660
01:20:32,390 --> 01:20:30,000
spacecraft coming a little bit later we

1661
01:20:34,950 --> 01:20:32,400
are talking right now with uh boeing's

1662
01:20:38,310 --> 01:20:34,960
tory wills pedrotty

1663
01:20:40,310 --> 01:20:38,320
and jim may both engineers um

1664
01:20:42,390 --> 01:20:40,320
in the starliner systems we're also

1665
01:20:44,950 --> 01:20:42,400
you're also seeing some of the uh

1666
01:20:47,510 --> 01:20:44,960
the replays of starliners

1667
01:20:51,350 --> 01:20:47,520
very successful very smooth landing this

1668
01:20:55,590 --> 01:20:53,590
jim you have the um

1669
01:20:58,870 --> 01:20:55,600
you worked uh you've both of course been

1670
01:21:00,870 --> 01:20:58,880
working throughout the last couple days

1671
01:21:02,390 --> 01:21:00,880
when did you uh jim when did you first

1672
01:21:04,149 --> 01:21:02,400
breathe your sigh of relief as you

1673
01:21:06,070 --> 01:21:04,159
watched it come down this morning uh you

1674
01:21:08,070 --> 01:21:06,080
know i don't think i really

1675
01:21:09,750 --> 01:21:08,080
let myself start deeply breathing until

1676
01:21:11,030 --> 01:21:09,760
we get to landing um

1677
01:21:12,870 --> 01:21:11,040
you know when when the mains came out

1678
01:21:14,390 --> 01:21:12,880
that means we're coming down slowly but

1679
01:21:16,149 --> 01:21:14,400
you know you really want to make sure

1680
01:21:18,070 --> 01:21:16,159
that the vehicle comes down soft and

1681
01:21:20,070 --> 01:21:18,080
safely because that means soft and safe

1682
01:21:21,110 --> 01:21:20,080
for the crew and so i once i hit the

1683
01:21:22,709 --> 01:21:21,120
ground i

1684
01:21:24,870 --> 01:21:22,719
let out a deep sigh

1685
01:21:27,110 --> 01:21:24,880
but a happy one i mean this is also just

1686
01:21:29,990 --> 01:21:27,120
a big moment right because we landed an

1687
01:21:32,550 --> 01:21:30,000
american capsule on land with a with an

1688
01:21:34,870 --> 01:21:32,560
airbag system that's like the first time

1689
01:21:36,629 --> 01:21:34,880
we've anybody has done this so this is

1690
01:21:38,950 --> 01:21:36,639
this is just really exciting to be a

1691
01:21:40,550 --> 01:21:38,960
part of this right and you know us

1692
01:21:42,390 --> 01:21:40,560
coming down safely on land means that

1693
01:21:45,110 --> 01:21:42,400
we're going to have the vehicle safe and

1694
01:21:47,189 --> 01:21:45,120
ready for sunny williams to fly on her

1695
01:21:48,310 --> 01:21:47,199
next mission

1696
01:21:49,110 --> 01:21:48,320
that and

1697
01:21:50,550 --> 01:21:49,120
you know

1698
01:21:53,030 --> 01:21:50,560
that means that we can safely bring back

1699
01:21:54,550 --> 01:21:53,040
the cargo that we're planning on uh

1700
01:21:57,350 --> 01:21:54,560
bringing back from station on the future

1701
01:21:59,030 --> 01:21:57,360
flights so we can get the research

1702
01:22:02,550 --> 01:21:59,040
continuing you know immediately after

1703
01:22:05,990 --> 01:22:04,390
we're hearing that uh richard jones here

1704
01:22:07,510 --> 01:22:06,000
in the flight control team has handed

1705
01:22:11,350 --> 01:22:07,520
authority of the vehicle over to the

1706
01:22:13,110 --> 01:22:11,360
landing recovery team um for for for

1707
01:22:14,709 --> 01:22:13,120
torrey and jim

1708
01:22:16,390 --> 01:22:14,719
you know i i know that you would

1709
01:22:18,070 --> 01:22:16,400
probably love to be there what would you

1710
01:22:19,750 --> 01:22:18,080
be looking for if you were able to be on

1711
01:22:21,990 --> 01:22:19,760
site

1712
01:22:25,030 --> 01:22:22,000
so i would probably be in an atv trying

1713
01:22:26,629 --> 01:22:25,040
to go pick up my heat shield from uh

1714
01:22:28,149 --> 01:22:26,639
from somewhere off in the desert now

1715
01:22:29,910 --> 01:22:28,159
it's going to be really important that

1716
01:22:31,110 --> 01:22:29,920
we that we pick up parts of the pieces

1717
01:22:32,870 --> 01:22:31,120
that we jettison because that's how

1718
01:22:34,310 --> 01:22:32,880
we're going to base our models going

1719
01:22:36,550 --> 01:22:34,320
forward right we've done a lot of

1720
01:22:38,470 --> 01:22:36,560
analysis on this vehicle but it's

1721
01:22:40,070 --> 01:22:38,480
getting that data and seeing those

1722
01:22:41,669 --> 01:22:40,080
systems now that we've actually gone

1723
01:22:43,430 --> 01:22:41,679
through re-entry which is really going

1724
01:22:45,110 --> 01:22:43,440
to put us in a great place for when crew

1725
01:22:48,390 --> 01:22:45,120
gets on the vehicle

1726
01:22:49,910 --> 01:22:48,400
and you know i've been working on the

1727
01:22:51,270 --> 01:22:49,920
training systems

1728
01:22:53,189 --> 01:22:51,280
and the simulations that we used to

1729
01:22:55,110 --> 01:22:53,199
train everybody so specifically i'm

1730
01:22:56,790 --> 01:22:55,120
looking to get um some of the flight

1731
01:22:58,629 --> 01:22:56,800
data recorder data

1732
01:23:01,189 --> 01:22:58,639
and the data that rosie the rocketeer

1733
01:23:03,110 --> 01:23:01,199
has so we can take what we've learned

1734
01:23:04,629 --> 01:23:03,120
from exactly how the vehicle flies and

1735
01:23:07,510 --> 01:23:04,639
turn that back into a better training

1736
01:23:09,830 --> 01:23:07,520
product for the future

1737
01:23:11,750 --> 01:23:09,840
and speaking of speaking of rosie the

1738
01:23:13,990 --> 01:23:11,760
rocketeer um

1739
01:23:16,550 --> 01:23:14,000
you know we were expecting before this

1740
01:23:18,629 --> 01:23:16,560
that that starliner would be coming down

1741
01:23:20,390 --> 01:23:18,639
about the about the speed of an express

1742
01:23:21,910 --> 01:23:20,400
elevator and a skyscraper

1743
01:23:24,790 --> 01:23:21,920
is that kind of um

1744
01:23:26,390 --> 01:23:24,800
realizing that you're that you're not

1745
01:23:27,990 --> 01:23:26,400
in the control room but i mean is that

1746
01:23:30,310 --> 01:23:28,000
kind of the way it looked to you that's

1747
01:23:32,470 --> 01:23:30,320
the way

1748
01:23:34,950 --> 01:23:32,480
it seemed to be yes the landing looked

1749
01:23:36,470 --> 01:23:34,960
exactly like we had in the simulations

1750
01:23:38,470 --> 01:23:36,480
so everything looked great nice soft

1751
01:23:40,070 --> 01:23:38,480
landing for for rosie

1752
01:23:43,110 --> 01:23:40,080
i can't wait to

1753
01:23:44,790 --> 01:23:43,120
to see that uh that data i'm sure

1754
01:23:46,709 --> 01:23:44,800
looks like we're starting to get some

1755
01:23:49,030 --> 01:23:46,719
clearer pictures out at the landing side

1756
01:23:51,990 --> 01:23:49,040
as the teams move in

1757
01:23:54,870 --> 01:23:52,000
again we've just landed in new mexico

1758
01:23:55,990 --> 01:23:54,880
about 13 minutes ago 6 58 a.m central

1759
01:23:57,669 --> 01:23:56,000
for those

1760
01:23:59,110 --> 01:23:57,679
who might just be joining he missed a

1761
01:24:02,390 --> 01:23:59,120
lot of the good stuff but we still got a

1762
01:24:04,470 --> 01:24:02,400
little bit to show you

1763
01:24:06,790 --> 01:24:04,480
and one of their first tasks will be to

1764
01:24:09,750 --> 01:24:06,800
put an environmental enclosure around

1765
01:24:11,590 --> 01:24:09,760
starliner we can see the the images

1766
01:24:13,990 --> 01:24:11,600
there that's the infrared views of the

1767
01:24:40,149 --> 01:24:14,000
landing recovery team convoy of vehicles

1768
01:24:40,159 --> 01:24:55,030
we have dead air

1769
01:24:59,430 --> 01:24:56,790
and a quick reminder that we will be

1770
01:25:01,350 --> 01:24:59,440
going out we hope to be going out to uh

1771
01:25:03,430 --> 01:25:01,360
boeing's josh barrett shortly with the

1772
01:25:05,590 --> 01:25:03,440
landing recovery team

1773
01:25:07,350 --> 01:25:05,600
he's uh in that convoy of vehicles he is

1774
01:25:09,750 --> 01:25:07,360
part of the blue team

1775
01:25:11,510 --> 01:25:09,760
as they're known they're divided into uh

1776
01:25:45,430 --> 01:25:11,520
different teams of specialists depending

1777
01:25:48,870 --> 01:25:47,189
15 minutes after the landing of

1778
01:25:51,350 --> 01:25:48,880
starliner

1779
01:25:54,550 --> 01:25:51,360
out in white sands new mexico

1780
01:26:04,950 --> 01:25:54,560
starliner landed after 33 orbits of the

1781
01:26:09,270 --> 01:26:06,390
during that time it was able to check

1782
01:26:11,270 --> 01:26:09,280
off the number of uh

1783
01:26:12,550 --> 01:26:11,280
mission objectives although didn't quite

1784
01:26:14,709 --> 01:26:12,560
make it to the international space

1785
01:26:18,790 --> 01:26:14,719
station was able to prove out some of

1786
01:26:21,350 --> 01:26:18,800
the um the not only the the launch

1787
01:26:22,790 --> 01:26:21,360
on the atlas v rocket and of course all

1788
01:26:25,350 --> 01:26:22,800
the landing systems that we saw in

1789
01:26:27,350 --> 01:26:25,360
action today but a number of the systems

1790
01:26:29,510 --> 01:26:27,360
that would be useful during future

1791
01:26:32,550 --> 01:26:29,520
rendezvous with the space station

1792
01:26:36,229 --> 01:26:32,560
a number of the navigation system

1793
01:26:38,629 --> 01:26:36,239
demonstrations were accomplished

1794
01:26:43,510 --> 01:26:38,639
mission controllers of course

1795
01:26:48,870 --> 01:26:45,750
the kid executed their operations all

1796
01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:48,880
while keeping an eye on starliner

1797
01:26:52,310 --> 01:26:50,400
and starliner in fact was able to

1798
01:26:54,070 --> 01:26:52,320
connect with the international space

1799
01:26:55,990 --> 01:26:54,080
space station though it didn't visit and

1800
01:26:57,189 --> 01:26:56,000
uh teams here on the ground were able to

1801
01:27:04,070 --> 01:26:57,199
send commands

1802
01:27:07,750 --> 01:27:06,149
once again a reminder that uh coming up

1803
01:27:09,669 --> 01:27:07,760
in uh

1804
01:27:12,149 --> 01:27:09,679
about an hour and 45 minutes and we're

1805
01:27:14,470 --> 01:27:12,159
aiming for 9 a.m central time we will

1806
01:27:16,709 --> 01:27:14,480
have that post landing briefing when we

1807
01:28:04,550 --> 01:27:16,719
expect to hear from jim bridenstine jim

1808
01:28:08,629 --> 01:28:06,229
here in mission control houston we've

1809
01:28:10,629 --> 01:28:08,639
got a number of uh special guests coming

1810
01:28:12,870 --> 01:28:10,639
in to say hi who have been watching from

1811
01:28:16,470 --> 01:28:12,880
the viewing room including nasa

1812
01:28:18,550 --> 01:28:16,480
administrator jim bridenstine uh johnson

1813
01:28:20,870 --> 01:28:18,560
space center director

1814
01:28:21,669 --> 01:28:20,880
mark guyer we're starting at high fives

1815
01:28:24,070 --> 01:28:21,679
here

1816
01:28:27,030 --> 01:28:24,080
lots of excitement and smiles

1817
01:28:34,149 --> 01:28:27,040
and this all follows a lot of work

1818
01:28:38,550 --> 01:28:36,629
also joining breidenstein

1819
01:28:41,669 --> 01:28:38,560
mass administrator jim bridenstine this

1820
01:28:45,830 --> 01:28:43,830
boeing's leanne corette

1821
01:28:47,350 --> 01:28:45,840
and jim chilton

1822
01:28:49,189 --> 01:28:47,360
they are both uh

1823
01:28:51,270 --> 01:28:49,199
congratulating the

1824
01:28:55,189 --> 01:28:51,280
mission control team here in houston for

1825
01:28:57,430 --> 01:28:55,199
the work that uh went into this morning

1826
01:28:59,189 --> 01:28:57,440
and we did mention earlier that the team

1827
01:29:01,590 --> 01:28:59,199
here in mission control handing a handed

1828
01:29:03,830 --> 01:29:01,600
authority already over to the landing

1829
01:29:06,229 --> 01:29:03,840
and recovery team on site with starliner

1830
01:29:09,430 --> 01:29:06,239
so they're able to relax a little bit

1831
01:29:11,270 --> 01:29:09,440
and start some of the celebrations

1832
01:29:13,270 --> 01:29:11,280

the landing recovery team is getting

1890
01:32:41,350 --> 01:32:39,760
closer to the starliner vehicle

1891
01:32:43,750 --> 01:32:41,360
they will be putting an environmental

1892
01:32:45,350 --> 01:32:43,760
enclosure

1893
01:32:47,270 --> 01:32:45,360
up over the vehicle it is of course

1894
01:33:26,390 --> 01:32:47,280
below freezing out in white sands this

1895
01:33:31,750 --> 01:33:29,910
and we are seeing some imagery some

1896
01:33:36,390 --> 01:33:31,760
regular imagery coming from white sands

1897
01:34:03,910 --> 01:33:37,750
the team of course brings a lot of

1898
01:34:08,709 --> 01:34:06,550
and we are hoping to reconnect with the

1899
01:34:11,750 --> 01:34:08,719
blue team part of the landing recovery

1900
01:34:15,750 --> 01:34:13,430
we're just waiting for the

1901
01:34:17,590 --> 01:34:15,760
communications link to be uh

1902
01:34:19,910 --> 01:34:17,600
completed

1903
01:34:23,430 --> 01:34:19,920
starliner is in very good shape landed

1904
01:35:02,310 --> 01:34:23,440
23 almost 24 minutes ago white sands new

1905
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:08,709
and we also have a report from

1906
01:35:12,550 --> 01:35:10,790
we have a report from the landing zone

1907
01:35:14,390 --> 01:35:12,560
confirming that all the parachutes

1908
01:35:15,990 --> 01:35:14,400
detached after landing to prevent the

1909
01:35:18,550 --> 01:35:16,000
parachutes from pulling the vehicle over

1910
01:35:21,510 --> 01:35:18,560
in high winds

1911
01:35:25,189 --> 01:35:21,520
the vehicle is looking good

1912
01:35:29,669 --> 01:35:27,030
the landing went very smoothly today i

1913
01:35:31,270 --> 01:35:29,679
think i think the

1914
01:35:37,590 --> 01:35:31,280
team will be very pleased with the way

1915
01:35:42,390 --> 01:35:39,510
want to sneak in another reminder of our

and we are now getting some new views

1928
01:36:17,109 --> 01:36:14,880
from the landing side great view of

1929
01:36:19,430 --> 01:36:17,119
starliner there you can see the detail

1930
01:36:21,750 --> 01:36:19,440
of the side hatch the the color the

1931
01:37:07,510 --> 01:36:21,760
colors outlining the different parts of

1932
01:37:11,189 --> 01:37:09,350
and what we're seeing is the

1933
01:37:13,350 --> 01:37:11,199
first members of the landing recovery

1934
01:37:15,590 --> 01:37:13,360
team moving out to the vehicle they are

1935
01:37:17,510 --> 01:37:15,600
just making sure that the atmosphere

1936
01:37:18,950 --> 01:37:17,520
that the environment is safe around

1937
01:37:22,709 --> 01:37:18,960
starliner

1938
01:37:25,109 --> 01:37:22,719
through the atmosphere with the

1939
01:37:26,550 --> 01:37:25,119
maneuvering fuel it jettisons quite a

1940
01:37:28,149 --> 01:37:26,560
bit of it on the

1941
01:37:30,870 --> 01:37:28,159
on the way down but they do need to

1942
01:37:34,390 --> 01:37:30,880
confirm before the whole teams get there

1943
01:37:36,550 --> 01:37:34,400
that the environment is safe for the for

1944
01:37:39,510 --> 01:37:36,560
the landing recovery team you can also

1945
01:37:41,750 --> 01:37:39,520
see in this in this the

1946
01:37:43,830 --> 01:37:41,760
partially deflated airbags

1947
01:37:46,310 --> 01:37:43,840
they of course have vents on them to

1948
01:37:47,669 --> 01:37:46,320
cushion just like a car airbag to

1949
01:37:50,149 --> 01:37:47,679
cushion the

1950
01:37:52,149 --> 01:37:50,159
touchdown impact

1951
01:37:54,390 --> 01:37:52,159
it's supposed to come down at about 18

1952
01:37:56,629 --> 01:37:54,400
miles per hour i think right so

1953
01:37:58,550 --> 01:37:56,639
not not nearly as fast as when it starts

1954
01:38:02,229 --> 01:37:58,560
its journey but you still like a little

1955
01:38:06,709 --> 01:38:04,390
all indications of the loads on landing

1956
01:38:08,870 --> 01:38:06,719
are that it was extremely smooth

1957
01:38:10,790 --> 01:38:08,880
and again richard jones flight director

1958
01:38:12,870 --> 01:38:10,800
richard jones his comment was looks like

1959
01:38:15,270 --> 01:38:12,880
it's going to be a smooth

1960
01:38:18,390 --> 01:38:15,280
a smooth landing when the cft crew when

1961
01:38:21,350 --> 01:38:18,400
the astronauts of the crude flight test

1962
01:38:23,109 --> 01:38:21,360
make their flight into space

1963
01:38:25,510 --> 01:38:23,119
the next crew that will be on board is

1964
01:38:27,590 --> 01:38:25,520
out at the landing site that's uh

1965
01:38:29,189 --> 01:38:27,600
nasa's mike fink and nicole mann and

1966
01:38:31,350 --> 01:38:29,199
boeing's chris ferguson they're all

1967
01:38:33,189 --> 01:38:31,360
going to be uh getting that first look

1968
01:38:35,590 --> 01:38:33,199
at starliner here in just a moment as

1969
01:38:36,870 --> 01:38:35,600
the as the teams are allowed to move in

1970
01:38:40,470 --> 01:38:36,880
we're hoping to hear a little bit from

1971
01:38:42,870 --> 01:38:40,480
them uh as uh as we're able to

1972
01:38:45,750 --> 01:38:42,880
get uh dan hewitt and josh barrett up

1973
01:38:47,750 --> 01:38:45,760
and running

1974
01:38:49,830 --> 01:38:47,760
and one more note about the landing

1975
01:38:52,149 --> 01:38:49,840
recovery team of course we're going to

1976
01:38:54,310 --> 01:38:52,159
stay focused on the capsule there are

1977
01:38:57,109 --> 01:38:54,320
other other parts of the teams that go

1978
01:38:58,629 --> 01:38:57,119
out and recover the base heat shield

1979
01:39:02,229 --> 01:38:58,639
and the forward heat shield in the

1980
01:39:06,390 --> 01:39:04,629
the spacecraft itself will be taken over

1981
01:39:11,510 --> 01:39:06,400
to

1982
01:39:35,189 --> 01:39:11,520
refurbished the base heat shield does

1983
01:39:41,109 --> 01:39:37,830
and this spacecraft will be used again

1984
01:39:42,790 --> 01:39:41,119
it can be reused up to 10 times

1985
01:39:44,870 --> 01:39:42,800
this vehicle

1986
01:39:46,709 --> 01:39:44,880
of course comes down on land we designed

1987
01:39:48,709 --> 01:39:46,719
it to land on land just to get that

1988
01:40:01,430 --> 01:39:48,719
reusable ability that you don't get when

1989
01:41:27,430 --> 01:40:04,229
landing teams continuing to

1990
01:41:27,440 --> 01:43:06,790
hey

1991
01:43:06,800 --> 01:45:12,229
we're going to get

1992
01:45:16,709 --> 01:45:14,550
yes administrator jim breinstein just

1993
01:45:18,790 --> 01:45:16,719
wrapping up some encouraging words to

1994
01:45:20,950 --> 01:45:18,800
the team here in the room he uh had a

1995
01:45:23,430 --> 01:45:20,960
lot to say starting with congratulations

1996
01:45:25,350 --> 01:45:23,440
he said the last 48 hours weren't easy

1997
01:45:26,310 --> 01:45:25,360
but the takeaway was a successful test

1998
01:45:28,229 --> 01:45:26,320
flight

1999
01:45:30,070 --> 01:45:28,239
and he pointed out that we've learned a

2000
01:45:32,470 --> 01:45:30,080
lot from this we've learned a lot about

2001
01:45:54,870 --> 01:45:32,480
a lot of different aspects of flying it

2002
01:45:58,950 --> 01:45:56,950
and nasa administrator jim breinstein

2003
01:46:00,950 --> 01:45:58,960
told the room watching the landing was a

2004
01:46:03,669 --> 01:46:00,960
thing of beauty today

2005
01:46:05,310 --> 01:46:03,679
he was very encouraged by what he saw

2006
01:46:08,149 --> 01:46:05,320
reported that

2007
01:46:09,910 --> 01:46:08,159
a lot of tasks were accomplished during

2008
01:46:13,030 --> 01:46:09,920
this flight we learned a lot that's why

2009
01:46:14,709 --> 01:46:13,040
you test

2010
01:46:16,550 --> 01:46:14,719
and this was a challenge for the flight

2011
01:46:17,270 --> 01:46:16,560
team because you you know you had to do

2012
01:46:18,709 --> 01:46:17,280
uh

2013
01:46:21,350 --> 01:46:18,719
some of the flying

2014
01:46:24,310 --> 01:46:21,360
in a non-optimum situation but they

2015
01:46:25,910 --> 01:46:24,320
still managed to do a lot of things

2016
01:46:29,109 --> 01:46:25,920
right and we learned a lot about this

2017
01:46:31,189 --> 01:46:29,119
vehicle this is the first of the space

2018
01:46:33,669 --> 01:46:31,199
proven models of the starliner

2019
01:46:35,750 --> 01:46:33,679
spacecraft we have

2020
01:46:37,350 --> 01:46:35,760
a crude flight test version

2021
01:46:39,910 --> 01:46:37,360
back in florida that's being prepared

2022
01:46:42,070 --> 01:46:39,920
for the crude flight test to carry

2023
01:46:44,870 --> 01:46:42,080
astronauts and we have a pad abort test

2024
01:46:47,910 --> 01:46:44,880
vehicle also so it's a

2025
01:46:49,990 --> 01:46:47,920
the fleet now has a vehicle that is gone

2026
01:46:52,870 --> 01:46:50,000
orbited the earth 33 times and landed

2027
01:46:55,590 --> 01:46:52,880
back in new mexico

2028
01:46:57,750 --> 01:46:55,600
that's a great start uh feinstein also

2029
01:46:59,669 --> 01:46:57,760
mentioned that he uh called vice

2030
01:47:00,470 --> 01:46:59,679
president mike pence from this room and

2031
01:47:04,790 --> 01:47:00,480
uh

2032
01:47:06,870 --> 01:47:04,800

kudos coming in from from all over the

2034
01:47:11,910 --> 01:47:09,360
place at the moment we are also

2035
01:47:13,990 --> 01:47:11,920
able to get uh one of the first uh still

2036
01:47:15,350 --> 01:47:14,000
photographs from our nasa

2037
01:47:18,070 --> 01:47:15,360
one of our nasa

2038
01:47:19,669 --> 01:47:18,080
uh photographers in the field um

2039
01:47:21,990 --> 01:47:19,679
we have to show for you here this uh

2040
01:47:24,070 --> 01:47:22,000
came from aubrey jiminy one of our nasa

2041
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:24,080
photographers taken of starliner making

2042
01:47:29,990 --> 01:47:26,400
its way down to to its landing in new

2043
01:47:32,149 --> 01:47:30,000
mexico at 6 58 a.m central time

2044
01:47:34,149 --> 01:47:32,159
and you can see there that starliner is

2045
01:47:35,189 --> 01:47:34,159
the

2046
01:47:40,550 --> 01:47:35,199
small

2047
01:47:41,990 --> 01:47:40,560
three main parachutes and in fact this

2048
01:47:44,550 --> 01:47:42,000
image comes to

2049
01:47:46,390 --> 01:47:44,560
came through of the base heat shield as

2050
01:47:48,070 --> 01:47:46,400
it jettisoned

2051
01:47:51,270 --> 01:47:48,080
of course base heat shield protecting it

2052
01:47:52,470 --> 01:47:51,280
from the 3000 degrees of

2053
01:47:55,750 --> 01:47:52,480
re-entry

2054
01:48:08,229 --> 01:47:55,760
and then it's work done jettisons and

2055
01:48:13,669 --> 01:48:09,990
team here in the room is about to uh

2056
01:48:15,830 --> 01:48:13,679
take a a group photo but before they did

2057
01:48:18,310 --> 01:48:15,840
flight director richard jones gave his

2058
01:48:20,790 --> 01:48:18,320
flight controllers the ahead to consider

2059
01:48:26,149 --> 01:48:20,800

a lot of work during the duration of

2063
01:48:43,830 --> 01:48:42,070

01:49:27,030 --> 01:49:23,360
281-483-5111 again that will be

2085
01:49:29,189 --> 01:49:27,040
targeted to begin at 9am central

2086
01:49:31,589 --> 01:49:29,199
and while we have tory wills pedrotty

2087
01:49:32,629 --> 01:49:31,599
and jim may over in the studio

2088
01:49:34,149 --> 01:49:32,639
um

2089
01:49:36,149 --> 01:49:34,159
tori and jim you're seeing now the

2090
01:49:37,990 --> 01:49:36,159
visual light imagery coming in from

2091
01:49:39,910 --> 01:49:38,000
white sands we see the

2092
01:49:41,430 --> 01:49:39,920
landing recovery team the first elements

2093
01:49:42,470 --> 01:49:41,440
getting close to the vehicle but you've

2094
01:49:44,790 --> 01:49:42,480
seen the

2095
01:49:46,229 --> 01:49:44,800
details of the hatch the details of the

2096
01:49:49,589 --> 01:49:46,239
upper structure

2097
01:49:52,390 --> 01:49:49,599
what are you thinking as you see this

2098
01:49:54,870 --> 01:49:52,400
you know the vehicle looks clean

2099
01:49:56,550 --> 01:49:54,880
meaning we had a great re-entry profile

2100
01:49:57,669 --> 01:49:56,560
just like we planned

2101
01:49:59,030 --> 01:49:57,679
and you know you see the vehicle sitting

2102
01:50:01,910 --> 01:49:59,040
there on its inner air bags cushioned

2103
01:50:04,390 --> 01:50:01,920
off the ground uh meaning we've got

2104
01:50:05,430 --> 01:50:04,400
our analysis on the landing recovery

2105
01:50:07,270 --> 01:50:05,440
system

2106
01:50:09,189 --> 01:50:07,280
seems to be great so the vehicle is in

2107
01:50:10,790 --> 01:50:09,199
safe hands now on the ground

2108
01:50:12,550 --> 01:50:10,800
and i have to say that

2109
01:50:14,310 --> 01:50:12,560
i am i'm very impressed with the way

2110
01:50:15,270 --> 01:50:14,320
that that the heat shield performed but

2111
01:50:16,950 --> 01:50:15,280
also

2112
01:50:18,950 --> 01:50:16,960
looking at this and looking at how we

2113
01:50:21,189 --> 01:50:18,960
landed i think it's uh it's going to be

2114
01:50:24,149 --> 01:50:21,199
really great for sonny's first ride here

2115
01:50:26,149 --> 01:50:24,159
in uh for pcm one so that reusability of

2116
01:50:27,510 --> 01:50:26,159
that capsule is is critical for us and

2117
01:50:29,669 --> 01:50:27,520
that's great to see

2118
01:50:31,669 --> 01:50:29,679
such a clean landing

2119
01:50:33,910 --> 01:50:31,679
settings crewmate josh casadas stopped

2120
01:50:36,070 --> 01:50:33,920
by our console here mission control just

2121
01:50:37,910 --> 01:50:36,080
a moment ago just give it a thumbs up he

2122
01:50:51,430 --> 01:50:37,920
looks super excited and i think ready to

2123
01:50:55,669 --> 01:50:53,669
and we can see their members of the

2124
01:50:56,629 --> 01:50:55,679
landing recovery team moving around the

2125
01:50:58,470 --> 01:50:56,639
vehicle

2126
01:51:01,510 --> 01:50:58,480
doing their checks we

2127
01:51:02,790 --> 01:51:01,520
hope to hear from from the blue team who

2128
01:52:17,750 --> 01:51:02,800
are

2129
01:52:19,350 --> 01:52:17,760
joining us

2130
01:52:21,990 --> 01:52:19,360
the uh

2131
01:52:23,109 --> 01:52:22,000
starliner orbital flight test ended with

2132
01:53:39,189 --> 01:52:23,119
a

2133
01:53:42,390 --> 01:53:39,199
touched down on

2134
01:53:45,109 --> 01:53:42,400
six inflated airbags very smooth landing

2135
01:53:46,709 --> 01:53:45,119
touchdown time was 6 58 central time

2136
01:53:49,750 --> 01:53:46,719
here at mission control

2137
01:53:53,270 --> 01:53:49,760
558 mountain time the landing site

2138
01:53:57,990 --> 01:53:53,280
and 7 58 eastern time where it launched

2139
01:54:02,709 --> 01:53:59,430
we can see that they're moving the

2140
01:54:07,030 --> 01:54:02,719
platform into place for on starliner to

2141
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:30,950
all access

2142
01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:45,109
we likely won't be on

2143
01:54:48,229 --> 01:54:46,629
and we have

2144
01:54:50,070 --> 01:54:48,239
boeing's josh

2145
01:54:51,830 --> 01:54:50,080
barrett at the landing site in white

2146
01:54:54,550 --> 01:54:51,840
sands he is joining us by phone we're

2147
01:54:57,189 --> 01:54:54,560
going to stay on this image of starliner

2148
01:54:58,070 --> 01:54:57,199
out on the desert floor

2149
01:55:00,390 --> 01:54:58,080
josh

2150
01:55:03,510 --> 01:55:00,400
how was it from your side

2151
01:55:06,390 --> 01:55:03,520
hey steve uh it looks beautiful looking

2152
01:55:07,830 --> 01:55:06,400
at starliner with my own two eyes

2153
01:55:09,910 --> 01:55:07,840
we're working on getting some better

2154
01:55:11,510 --> 01:55:09,920
video uplinks we have our situational

2155
01:55:13,510 --> 01:55:11,520
awareness camera up but we're working on

2156
01:55:14,629 --> 01:55:13,520
getting our closer handheld cameras up

2157
01:55:16,709 --> 01:55:14,639
for you hopefully we can get that

2158
01:55:18,310 --> 01:55:16,719
working for you soon and so you can get

2159
01:55:20,149 --> 01:55:18,320
some good up close views right now the

2160
01:55:22,470 --> 01:55:20,159
boeing fire rescue teams are moving the

2161
01:55:24,950 --> 01:55:22,480
platform in front of the crew module

2162
01:55:26,629 --> 01:55:24,960
green team is working on inflating the

2163
01:55:28,229 --> 01:55:26,639
environmental enclosure

2164
01:55:29,990 --> 01:55:28,239
that's uh if you can kind of see what's

2165
01:55:31,830 --> 01:55:30,000
going on behind the crew module from the

2166
01:55:33,510 --> 01:55:31,840
perspective of the situational awareness

2167
01:55:34,709 --> 01:55:33,520
camera they're inflating that

2168
01:55:37,030 --> 01:55:34,719
in between

2169
01:55:38,390 --> 01:55:37,040
that hvac trailer there

2170
01:55:39,510 --> 01:55:38,400
so you'll see kind of that big

2171
01:55:41,830 --> 01:55:39,520
inflatable

2172
01:55:43,750 --> 01:55:41,840
enclosure kind of hug the vehicle and

2173
01:55:45,189 --> 01:55:43,760
they're going to start getting some heat

2174
01:55:47,990 --> 01:55:45,199
on there again to make sure those

2175
01:55:50,149 --> 01:55:48,000
propulsion lines don't freeze gold team

2176
01:55:51,910 --> 01:55:50,159
has moved in and done their assessment

2177
01:55:53,750 --> 01:55:51,920
everything is healthy on the vehicle

2178
01:55:55,669 --> 01:55:53,760
silver team has grounded the vehicle and

2179
01:55:57,350 --> 01:55:55,679
now they've moved on to recovering the

2180
01:56:00,709 --> 01:55:57,360
parachutes

2181
01:56:03,669 --> 01:56:00,719
there's a beautiful pink orange horizon

2182
01:56:04,870 --> 01:56:03,679
to the east as the sun is coming up

2183
01:56:06,950 --> 01:56:04,880
uh

2184
01:56:08,070 --> 01:56:06,960
really a beautiful day here out in the

2185
01:56:09,750 --> 01:56:08,080
desert

2186
01:56:11,430 --> 01:56:09,760
although it is still pretty cold but the

2187
01:56:12,870 --> 01:56:11,440
teams are working hard they're working

2188
01:56:14,390 --> 01:56:12,880
through the cold

2189
01:56:16,310 --> 01:56:14,400
um

2190
01:56:18,470 --> 01:56:16,320
next up you should see the medical truck

2191
01:56:21,750 --> 01:56:18,480
start to move into place beside that

2192
01:56:23,750 --> 01:56:21,760
that mobile access platform

2193
01:56:26,950 --> 01:56:23,760
that is just an exercise for today that

2194
01:56:28,709 --> 01:56:26,960
medical truck won't be used today

2195
01:56:30,870 --> 01:56:28,719
the crew is actually just getting out of

2196
01:56:32,629 --> 01:56:30,880
the the trucks in front of me here you

2197
01:56:34,470 --> 01:56:32,639
might see them

2198
01:56:36,950 --> 01:56:34,480
start uh appearing in the essay camera

2199
01:56:38,709 --> 01:56:36,960
in their pink vests um

2200
01:56:41,830 --> 01:56:38,719
but really

2201
01:56:44,470 --> 01:56:41,840
just overall a great morning the team is

2202
01:56:47,189 --> 01:56:44,480
executing exactly what they have trained

2203
01:56:49,350 --> 01:56:47,199
for over and over and over again

2204
01:56:50,790 --> 01:56:49,360
uh and um

2205
01:56:52,229 --> 01:56:50,800
hopefully we can get some better views

2206
01:56:53,189 --> 01:56:52,239
as our as our camera guys move in a

2207
01:56:54,790 --> 01:56:53,199
little closer we're trying to

2208
01:56:56,390 --> 01:56:54,800
re-establish a microwave link to our

2209
01:56:57,990 --> 01:56:56,400
satellite feed

2210
01:56:59,189 --> 01:56:58,000
we think maybe on the drive out here one

2211
01:57:00,950 --> 01:56:59,199
of our connections might have got

2212
01:57:02,310 --> 01:57:00,960
jostled out but we want to get you some

2213
01:57:04,310 --> 01:57:02,320
better views soon but we're glad you're

2214
01:57:06,550 --> 01:57:04,320
getting a look at starliner on the

2215
01:57:09,030 --> 01:57:06,560
ground so i'll let you guys take it from

2216
01:57:14,310 --> 01:57:11,430
thank you josh this has been an exciting

2217
01:57:18,229 --> 01:57:16,310
certainly one that that we've not seen

2218
01:57:20,149 --> 01:57:18,239
before with an american

2219
01:57:24,390 --> 01:57:20,159
human rated capsule touching down on

2220
01:57:26,310 --> 01:57:24,400
land i can't i can't hear you

2221
01:57:28,149 --> 01:57:26,320
we can see the environmental enclosure

2222
01:57:30,229 --> 01:57:28,159
being put into place they're going to

2223
01:57:31,669 --> 01:57:30,239
put that over the starliner vehicle as

2224
01:57:33,030 --> 01:57:31,679
josh just mentioned

2225
01:57:37,030 --> 01:57:33,040
and that's going to

2226
01:57:38,629 --> 01:57:37,040
clear the way to open the side hatch

2227
01:57:40,629 --> 01:57:38,639
the environmental enclosure of course

2228
01:57:42,470 --> 01:57:40,639
protects the vehicle and its complex

2229
01:57:44,790 --> 01:57:42,480
systems

2230
01:57:47,589 --> 01:57:44,800
from the uh from the cold of course

2231
01:57:49,830 --> 01:57:47,599
starliner has been through an extreme

2232
01:57:51,430 --> 01:57:49,840
environment during this uh the orbit

2233
01:57:53,270 --> 01:57:51,440
burn having gone through thousand

2234
01:57:54,470 --> 01:57:53,280
degrees of heat

2235
01:57:56,550 --> 01:57:54,480
before

2236
01:57:59,109 --> 01:57:56,560
coming down softly under three main

2237
01:58:00,070 --> 01:57:59,119
parachutes and landing on

2238
01:58:03,430 --> 01:58:00,080
six

2239
01:58:19,109 --> 01:58:03,440
airbags in a flawless

2240
01:58:22,870 --> 01:58:20,790
steve while we wait for hear back more

2241
01:58:24,709 --> 01:58:22,880
from the um from the landing team tell

2242
01:58:26,470 --> 01:58:24,719
us a little bit about how uh starliner

2243
01:58:27,910 --> 01:58:26,480
gets back to florida what what is that

2244
01:58:30,229 --> 01:58:27,920
journey like

2245
01:58:32,470 --> 01:58:30,239
well they'll move uh though basically

2246
01:58:34,870 --> 01:58:32,480
after they get starliner safe on the

2247
01:58:37,350 --> 01:58:34,880
ground they will

2248
01:58:38,149 --> 01:58:37,360
they will put it on a on a truck inside

2249
01:58:51,270 --> 01:58:38,159
a

2250
01:58:56,149 --> 01:58:53,189
where the um

2251
01:58:58,390 --> 01:58:56,159
where the engineers will pour through it

2252
01:59:00,550 --> 01:58:58,400
and ultimately refurbish it and we're

2253
01:59:02,629 --> 01:59:00,560
going to fly it again we are not only

2254
01:59:03,910 --> 01:59:02,639
using these capsules one time each of

2255
01:59:06,229 --> 01:59:03,920
these capsules

2256
01:59:07,830 --> 01:59:06,239
is designed for ten times

2257
01:59:09,189 --> 01:59:07,840
to go in space

2258
01:59:13,910 --> 01:59:09,199
look forward to seeing this one land on

2259
01:59:17,750 --> 01:59:16,229
and it sounds like we have uh josh of

2260
01:59:19,510 --> 01:59:17,760
ready again to give us another update

2261
01:59:22,070 --> 01:59:19,520
josh can you hear us

2262
01:59:23,990 --> 01:59:22,080
hey brandi yes i'm still here uh you can

2263
01:59:26,229 --> 01:59:24,000
see the green team has just got that

2264
01:59:28,229 --> 01:59:26,239
environmental enclosure in place

2265
01:59:30,870 --> 01:59:28,239
so now the red team will continue

2266
01:59:32,470 --> 01:59:30,880
backing up that mobile access platform

2267
01:59:34,390 --> 01:59:32,480
right up to the hatch

2268
01:59:36,390 --> 01:59:34,400
they'll extend a little bit of that

2269
01:59:37,830 --> 01:59:36,400
almost touching uh the hatch but we

2270
01:59:39,510 --> 01:59:37,840
don't want to make contact with the

2271
01:59:41,510 --> 01:59:39,520
vehicle and potentially damage the

2272
01:59:43,589 --> 01:59:41,520
thermal protection system

2273
01:59:46,070 --> 01:59:43,599
because uh as you guys just mentioned

2274
01:59:48,229 --> 01:59:46,080
this vehicle will be reused the thermal

2275
01:59:51,030 --> 01:59:48,239
protection system needs to be

2276
01:59:52,550 --> 01:59:51,040
uh maintain integrity we will replace

2277
01:59:54,709 --> 01:59:52,560
the ford heat shield and the base heat

2278
01:59:56,470 --> 01:59:54,719
shield actually uh the ford heat shield

2279
01:59:58,709 --> 01:59:56,480
landed probably

2280
02:00:00,709 --> 01:59:58,719
about 600 feet away from the capsule i'm

2281
02:00:03,750 --> 02:00:00,719
looking at it right now it landed on its

2282
02:00:05,750 --> 02:00:03,760
nose um i haven't found the base heat

2283
02:00:07,589 --> 02:00:05,760
shield yet but uh i'm sure it's around

2284
02:00:09,589 --> 02:00:07,599
here somewhere

2285
02:00:11,910 --> 02:00:09,599
um the crew you can see that that's the

2286
02:00:13,830 --> 02:00:11,920
astronaut crew and their pink vests now

2287
02:00:16,070 --> 02:00:13,840
uh you might not have heard me about

2288
02:00:17,589 --> 02:00:16,080
talk about pink team pink team is just

2289
02:00:19,189 --> 02:00:17,599
kind of the observers they don't have an

2290
02:00:20,950 --> 02:00:19,199
operational role

2291
02:00:23,270 --> 02:00:20,960
but they are in brightly colored pink

2292
02:00:25,669 --> 02:00:23,280
vests just to make sure uh

2293
02:00:29,189 --> 02:00:25,679
you know they're visible and

2294
02:00:31,830 --> 02:00:29,199
the operational teams kind of

2295
02:00:33,270 --> 02:00:31,840
avoid them

2296
02:00:34,709 --> 02:00:33,280
they avoid the operational teams and

2297
02:00:37,030 --> 02:00:34,719
don't don't get in the way of the

2298
02:00:38,870 --> 02:00:37,040
operation but um

2299
02:00:40,229 --> 02:00:38,880
again that environmental enclosure

2300
02:00:42,070 --> 02:00:40,239
they're just kind of adjusting it a

2301
02:00:44,950 --> 02:00:42,080
little bit right now

2302
02:00:45,830 --> 02:00:44,960
to give red team to the hatch

2303
02:00:47,910 --> 02:00:45,840
uh

2304
02:00:50,390 --> 02:00:47,920
there you see the mobile access platform

2305
02:00:52,149 --> 02:00:50,400
backing ever so slowly they're being

2306
02:00:53,430 --> 02:00:52,159
very careful

2307
02:00:56,870 --> 02:00:53,440
not to damage

2308
02:00:58,229 --> 02:00:56,880
that thermal protection system

2309
02:01:00,149 --> 02:00:58,239
josh have you had a chance to talk with

2310
02:01:02,870 --> 02:01:00,159
any of the astronauts get any of any of

2311
02:01:05,350 --> 02:01:02,880
their thoughts on watching the landing

2312
02:01:06,629 --> 02:01:05,360
i have not they uh got out of the car

2313
02:01:08,149 --> 02:01:06,639
and walked straight up to the vehicle

2314
02:01:10,550 --> 02:01:08,159
while we're trying to get this video

2315
02:01:13,910 --> 02:01:10,560
linked back up for you guys but i will

2316
02:01:15,430 --> 02:01:13,920
be sure to grab them as soon as i can

2317
02:01:17,350 --> 02:01:15,440
understandable if they want to hurry

2318
02:01:19,669 --> 02:01:17,360
over

2319
02:01:22,950 --> 02:01:19,679
yeah i know uh i know josh is back in

2320
02:01:25,030 --> 02:01:22,960
houston watching and sunny's here and uh

2321
02:01:27,350 --> 02:01:25,040
i'm sure she's extremely pleased seeing

2322
02:01:30,550 --> 02:01:27,360
her ride back on her safely you know

2323
02:01:33,030 --> 02:01:30,560
executing a pretty flawless landing

2324
02:01:35,030 --> 02:01:33,040
three two drops three main parachutes

2325
02:01:38,149 --> 02:01:35,040
six airbags

2326
02:01:40,229 --> 02:01:38,159
that's what we want to see every time

2327
02:01:45,189 --> 02:01:40,239
and josh how does this look compared to

2328
02:01:49,510 --> 02:01:47,589
uh so i i

2329
02:01:51,669 --> 02:01:49,520
was honestly expecting a little bit of a

2330
02:01:53,510 --> 02:01:51,679
kind of thermal scorch marks almost on

2331
02:01:55,030 --> 02:01:53,520
the vehicle but it looks almost as good

2332
02:01:56,149 --> 02:01:55,040
as the day it left the factory in

2333
02:01:57,270 --> 02:01:56,159
florida

2334
02:01:58,310 --> 02:01:57,280
um

2335
02:02:00,390 --> 02:01:58,320
it was

2336
02:02:02,790 --> 02:02:00,400
you know even the all the logos the nasa

2337
02:02:04,470 --> 02:02:02,800
logo the boeing logos kind of the hash

2338
02:02:06,149 --> 02:02:04,480
marks we have around the top where the

2339
02:02:09,510 --> 02:02:06,159
ford heat shield meets the vehicle those

2340
02:02:12,070 --> 02:02:09,520
are all 100 perfectly intact

2341
02:02:14,629 --> 02:02:12,080
um now you can see the medical trucks

2342
02:02:16,470 --> 02:02:14,639
starting to back up so we actually

2343
02:02:20,390 --> 02:02:16,480
custom designed those medical trucks

2344
02:02:23,270 --> 02:02:20,400
those were surplus army five ton trucks

2345
02:02:25,189 --> 02:02:23,280
and we kind of outfitted it with uh that

2346
02:02:27,030 --> 02:02:25,199
platform you might be able to see on the

2347
02:02:29,030 --> 02:02:27,040
back of the truck and the interior was

2348
02:02:31,350 --> 02:02:29,040
completely refitted to the

2349
02:02:32,550 --> 02:02:31,360
um pretty state-of-the-art field medical

2350
02:02:34,470 --> 02:02:32,560
facility

2351
02:02:36,070 --> 02:02:34,480
it's once again when the astronauts come

2352
02:02:37,669 --> 02:02:36,080
out of the hatch

2353
02:02:39,910 --> 02:02:37,679
they're

2354
02:02:41,510 --> 02:02:39,920
going straight into that medical truck

2355
02:02:47,030 --> 02:02:41,520
just to make sure that they're healthy

2356
02:02:50,629 --> 02:02:48,629
um

2357
02:02:52,790 --> 02:02:50,639
once again you see the

2358
02:02:55,109 --> 02:02:52,800
red team establishing access to the

2359
02:02:57,669 --> 02:02:55,119
hatch once they

2360
02:03:00,310 --> 02:02:57,679
lower that uh

2361
02:03:02,310 --> 02:03:00,320
lower those stairs uh selena doe part

2362
02:03:04,709 --> 02:03:02,320
one of our human factors engineers will

2363
02:03:06,709 --> 02:03:04,719
go up and actually open the hatch

2364
02:03:08,950 --> 02:03:06,719
she's actually i can see her standing to

2365
02:03:12,470 --> 02:03:08,960
the left of the platform

2366
02:03:16,870 --> 02:03:14,870
and josh i know just like um tell us a

2367
02:03:18,550 --> 02:03:16,880
little bit about some of the

2368
02:03:21,030 --> 02:03:18,560
practice stuff this is what i'm getting

2369
02:03:22,790 --> 02:03:21,040
at is just like the flight control team

2370
02:03:25,350 --> 02:03:22,800
does simulations just like the launch

2371
02:03:26,229 --> 02:03:25,360
team does simulations the landing team

2372
02:03:27,910 --> 02:03:26,239
has

2373
02:03:30,310 --> 02:03:27,920
walked through this a number of times

2374
02:03:31,990 --> 02:03:30,320
out in white sands correct

2375
02:03:35,350 --> 02:03:32,000
yeah they have done it about four or

2376
02:03:37,189 --> 02:03:35,360
five times as a full team and that's

2377
02:03:38,149 --> 02:03:37,199
four or five separate times when the

2378
02:03:39,830 --> 02:03:38,159
whole

2379
02:03:42,709 --> 02:03:39,840
uh you know the fire rescue teams come

2380
02:03:44,310 --> 02:03:42,719
from charleston seattle a lot of the

2381
02:03:45,830 --> 02:03:44,320
major you know california a lot of the

2382
02:03:47,589 --> 02:03:45,840
major boeing facilities across the

2383
02:03:49,270 --> 02:03:47,599
country and then the starliner program

2384
02:03:51,990 --> 02:03:49,280
teams come from

2385
02:03:53,669 --> 02:03:52,000
uh houston and florida mostly so they

2386
02:03:55,350 --> 02:03:53,679
have taken over the past couple years

2387
02:03:57,830 --> 02:03:55,360
four or five times they all come

2388
02:03:59,510 --> 02:03:57,840
together and run through these exercises

2389
02:04:01,430 --> 02:03:59,520
and then individually each team kind of

2390
02:04:03,430 --> 02:04:01,440
practices their routines

2391
02:04:05,510 --> 02:04:03,440
multiple times throughout the year make

2392
02:04:07,350 --> 02:04:05,520
sure everyone stays fresh knows exactly

2393
02:04:09,350 --> 02:04:07,360
what they're doing

2394
02:04:11,189 --> 02:04:09,360
pretty delicate operation

2395
02:04:12,790 --> 02:04:11,199
and you know there's some very time

2396
02:04:15,030 --> 02:04:12,800
critical elements to it especially when

2397
02:04:16,550 --> 02:04:15,040
we get crew on board this time it's

2398
02:04:18,149 --> 02:04:16,560
since it's the first time the team is

2399
02:04:19,189 --> 02:04:18,159
actually doing it for real we're taking

2400
02:04:21,350 --> 02:04:19,199
our time

2401
02:04:22,790 --> 02:04:21,360
there's not crew inside but we do have a

2402
02:04:26,229 --> 02:04:22,800
requirement to get crew out of the

2403
02:04:27,189 --> 02:04:26,239
vehicle an hour after touchdown

2404
02:04:29,109 --> 02:04:27,199
but

2405
02:04:30,550 --> 02:04:29,119
this time the vehicle landed and powered

2406
02:04:32,629 --> 02:04:30,560
itself off

2407
02:04:34,390 --> 02:04:32,639
and so that kind of gave the team plenty

2408
02:04:36,310 --> 02:04:34,400
of time to make sure that they're doing

2409
02:04:38,950 --> 02:04:36,320
this right they're doing it deliberately

2410
02:04:40,229 --> 02:04:38,960
and intentionally and you know really

2411
02:04:41,750 --> 02:04:40,239
the biggest time critical thing was

2412
02:04:43,990 --> 02:04:41,760
getting that environmental enclosure

2413
02:04:45,669 --> 02:04:44,000
over the vehicle and uh

2414
02:04:48,390 --> 02:04:45,679
heating it up a little bit in this kind

2415
02:04:51,350 --> 02:04:48,400
of frigid desert air

2416
02:04:54,149 --> 02:04:51,360
and josh we do have a um

2417
02:04:56,550 --> 02:04:54,159
we do have a report that goes along with

2418
02:04:57,430 --> 02:04:56,560
your uh no scorch marks observation

2419
02:04:59,510 --> 02:04:57,440
there

2420
02:05:02,069 --> 02:04:59,520
uh the re-entry cabin heating was

2421
02:05:04,149 --> 02:05:02,079
notably lower was a notably lower change

2422
02:05:05,430 --> 02:05:04,159
in temperatures which indicates a better

2423
02:05:07,270 --> 02:05:05,440
than expected performance of the

2424
02:05:09,510 --> 02:05:07,280
re-entry system

2425
02:05:10,790 --> 02:05:09,520
that is that's really good news and i

2426
02:05:12,709 --> 02:05:10,800
think uh

2427
02:05:14,229 --> 02:05:12,719
i think this is gonna it sounds like

2428
02:05:15,750 --> 02:05:14,239
it's going to

2429
02:05:17,990 --> 02:05:15,760
make it an easier refurbishment

2430
02:05:20,310 --> 02:05:18,000
operation you're the one who

2431
02:05:22,069 --> 02:05:20,320
is out there in florida all the time

2432
02:05:24,229 --> 02:05:22,079
with the uh with the factory and with

2433
02:05:27,030 --> 02:05:24,239
the refurbishment does that uh

2434
02:05:29,189 --> 02:05:27,040
does that make sense to you

2435
02:05:30,149 --> 02:05:29,199
yeah i i actually it'll be really great

2436
02:05:31,830 --> 02:05:30,159
to see

2437
02:05:33,910 --> 02:05:31,840
this vehicle back in florida because

2438
02:05:36,229 --> 02:05:33,920
right now we have our other two

2439
02:05:37,830 --> 02:05:36,239
spacecraft the paddleboard vehicle is in

2440
02:05:39,270 --> 02:05:37,840
the factory as well as the crew flight

2441
02:05:40,709 --> 02:05:39,280
test vehicle

2442
02:05:42,550 --> 02:05:40,719
and you know back when i first joined

2443
02:05:44,470 --> 02:05:42,560
the program about two years ago it was

2444
02:05:47,030 --> 02:05:44,480
really awesome seeing three vehicles in

2445
02:05:49,109 --> 02:05:47,040
flow so when this comes back to florida

2446
02:05:51,189 --> 02:05:49,119
and they start processing it for

2447
02:05:52,550 --> 02:05:51,199
sunny and josh's flight plus the few

2448
02:05:54,229 --> 02:05:52,560
international astronauts that are

2449
02:05:56,390 --> 02:05:54,239
assigned to the vehicle

2450
02:06:00,069 --> 02:05:56,400
um it'll be nice to see it it'll be kind

2451
02:06:01,669 --> 02:06:00,079
of like getting the family back together

2452
02:06:05,030 --> 02:06:01,679
and better a lot of people are going to

2453
02:06:07,589 --> 02:06:05,040
be excited to see it back in florida

2454
02:06:09,430 --> 02:06:07,599
yeah that's right and uh you know in the

2455
02:06:11,430 --> 02:06:09,440
meantime while uh

2456
02:06:13,109 --> 02:06:11,440
we test and process and refurbish this

2457
02:06:15,430 --> 02:06:13,119
vehicle for the next flight uh the crew

2458
02:06:17,830 --> 02:06:15,440
flight test vehicle is going through

2459
02:06:18,870 --> 02:06:17,840
kind of final processing right now

2460
02:06:20,870 --> 02:06:18,880
um

2461
02:06:22,709 --> 02:06:20,880
the paddle board vehicle we actually uh

2462
02:06:24,870 --> 02:06:22,719
will not fly that to space but we will

2463
02:06:26,709 --> 02:06:24,880
keep it around um

2464
02:06:27,830 --> 02:06:26,719
just in case we need any spare parts

2465
02:06:30,229 --> 02:06:27,840
from it

2466
02:06:32,709 --> 02:06:30,239
so uh that we'll have that in florida as

2467
02:06:35,350 --> 02:06:32,719
well for a while um but that was that

2468
02:06:36,709 --> 02:06:35,360
was really cool seeing it come back um

2469
02:06:38,470 --> 02:06:36,719
if you watched the paddleboard test you

2470
02:06:40,709 --> 02:06:38,480
might have seen the all the signatures

2471
02:06:42,629 --> 02:06:40,719
from everyone who worked so hard on it

2472
02:06:44,550 --> 02:06:42,639
we couldn't find this vehicle against

2473
02:06:46,870 --> 02:06:44,560
the thermal protection system kind of

2474
02:06:48,310 --> 02:06:46,880
inhibited us from putting sharpie marker

2475
02:06:49,669 --> 02:06:48,320
on it but

2476
02:06:51,589 --> 02:06:49,679
um

2477
02:06:54,069 --> 02:06:51,599
still a beautiful vehicle it's kind of a

2478
02:06:55,910 --> 02:06:54,079
shame the environmental enclosures

2479
02:06:57,910 --> 02:06:55,920
covered it up right now but

2480
02:06:59,750 --> 02:06:57,920
again we're just doing that to make sure

2481
02:07:01,669 --> 02:06:59,760
the vehicle stays safe and healthy so we

2482
02:07:03,750 --> 02:07:01,679
can use it again

2483
02:07:06,550 --> 02:07:03,760
and josh we want you to stand by we want

2484
02:07:08,310 --> 02:07:06,560
to go to uh torrey wills pedrotty who's

2485
02:07:10,310 --> 02:07:08,320
one of the engineers who worked with

2486
02:07:12,390 --> 02:07:10,320
this heat shield and

2487
02:07:14,550 --> 02:07:12,400
tori you've heard josh's description of

2488
02:07:16,709 --> 02:07:14,560
the spacecraft uh you know light light

2489
02:07:18,069 --> 02:07:16,719
scorch marks nothing it looks a lot like

2490
02:07:19,750 --> 02:07:18,079
the way it did

2491
02:07:37,270 --> 02:07:19,760
um when it went into space what does

2492
02:07:40,470 --> 02:07:39,270
you know anything during landing but in

2493
02:07:42,550 --> 02:07:40,480
re-entry but

2494
02:07:44,069 --> 02:07:42,560
seeing it and hearing that the inside of

2495
02:07:46,229 --> 02:07:44,079
the vehicle was even better than we

2496
02:07:48,550 --> 02:07:46,239
expected just is it's such a great

2497
02:07:50,790 --> 02:07:48,560
feeling to know that we did

2498
02:07:52,310 --> 02:07:50,800
we not only did our job but better than

2499
02:07:54,310 --> 02:07:52,320
better than we hoped it would perform so

2500
02:07:55,669 --> 02:07:54,320
that's uh that's really really good to

2501
02:07:57,510 --> 02:07:55,679
hear and i think that puts a lot of

2502
02:08:00,310 --> 02:07:57,520
confidence uh in these systems going

2503
02:08:03,669 --> 02:08:01,669
tori i think we lost the first part of

2504
02:08:06,550 --> 02:08:03,679
your question can we get you to run back

2505
02:08:09,589 --> 02:08:06,560
over it uh yeah of course um so i was

2506
02:08:11,510 --> 02:08:09,599
just saying that listening to josh and

2507
02:08:12,950 --> 02:08:11,520
uh and seeing that the the vehicle was

2508
02:08:14,149 --> 02:08:12,960
as clean as it was and jimmy and i were

2509
02:08:16,229 --> 02:08:14,159
talking about it in the studio just a

2510
02:08:17,990 --> 02:08:16,239
few minutes ago that the vehicle looks

2511
02:08:20,950 --> 02:08:18,000
fantastic on the ground there right

2512
02:08:22,310 --> 02:08:20,960
white clean way better than uh than what

2513
02:08:23,750 --> 02:08:22,320
we were expecting to see expect to see

2514
02:08:25,990 --> 02:08:23,760
some shower marks maybe a little are you

2515
02:08:28,310 --> 02:08:26,000
calling through the wi-fi so it's uh

2516
02:08:31,030 --> 02:08:28,320
it's really good looking out there and

2517
02:08:32,709 --> 02:08:31,040
it really just puts confidence in

2518
02:08:34,570 --> 02:08:32,719
the analysis that we've done and the

2519
02:08:37,430 --> 02:08:34,580
models that we have

2520
02:08:39,109 --> 02:08:37,440
[Music]

2521
02:08:41,189 --> 02:08:39,119
jim does this look the way uh the way

2522
02:08:42,629 --> 02:08:41,199
that you expected it to

2523
02:08:45,350 --> 02:08:42,639
you know it looked better than i

2524
02:08:47,350 --> 02:08:45,360
expected it to so i was really

2525
02:08:48,709 --> 02:08:47,360
i was really thinking that we were that

2526
02:08:50,069 --> 02:08:48,719
we were going to see at least a little

2527
02:08:52,550 --> 02:08:50,079
bit of scorching right around where the

2528
02:08:54,149 --> 02:08:52,560
shoulder comes up onto the vehicle but

2529
02:08:55,990 --> 02:08:54,159
those tiles are in all of the right

2530
02:08:57,990 --> 02:08:56,000
places and they look just like they did

2531
02:09:01,109 --> 02:08:58,000
when they left the factory so that is

2532
02:09:05,189 --> 02:09:01,119
that is a phenomenal thing to see

2533
02:09:07,589 --> 02:09:05,199
hey uh where where where we got it

2534
02:09:08,790 --> 02:09:07,599
thank you tori and jim you're seeing uh

2535
02:09:12,470 --> 02:09:08,800
you're seeing all this you're seeing

2536
02:09:17,189 --> 02:09:14,629
what are you thinking right now

2537
02:09:18,550 --> 02:09:17,199
so for the crew involvement um one the

2538
02:09:20,550 --> 02:09:18,560
vehicle looking the way it does means

2539
02:09:22,149 --> 02:09:20,560
good things for them coming back but it

2540
02:09:23,350 --> 02:09:22,159
also means good things for the parts on

2541
02:09:25,189 --> 02:09:23,360
the inside of the spacecraft that

2542
02:09:28,629 --> 02:09:25,199
they're going to reuse as well

2543
02:09:30,790 --> 02:09:28,639
so we are going to reuse things like the

2544
02:09:33,510 --> 02:09:30,800
tablets that we're using to do the crew

2545
02:09:35,750 --> 02:09:33,520
procedures and also um using for some of

2546
02:09:37,430 --> 02:09:35,760
their um training while they're up on

2547
02:09:39,669 --> 02:09:37,440
orbit things of that nature

2548
02:09:41,830 --> 02:09:39,679
that are inside of the spacecraft

2549
02:09:43,030 --> 02:09:41,840
that are going to be coming back as well

2550
02:09:44,069 --> 02:09:43,040
are going to be reused on later flights

2551
02:09:46,709 --> 02:09:44,079
so that's a good thing seeing the

2552
02:09:48,790 --> 02:09:46,719
vehicle the way it is

2553
02:09:50,950 --> 02:09:48,800
and we are seeing really good imagery

2554
02:09:52,790 --> 02:09:50,960
now of the

2555
02:09:57,510 --> 02:09:52,800
of the team coming out josh do we still

2556
02:10:01,030 --> 02:09:58,950
again starliner

2557
02:10:02,950 --> 02:10:01,040
engineer selena doper working on opening

2558
02:10:04,629 --> 02:10:02,960
the hatch

2559
02:10:07,270 --> 02:10:04,639
so

2560
02:10:09,189 --> 02:10:07,280
right now she is uh she's got a couple

2561
02:10:10,550 --> 02:10:09,199
of different tools so the the hatch

2562
02:10:13,750 --> 02:10:10,560
seals itself

2563
02:10:15,990 --> 02:10:13,760
um it is actually a little difficult to

2564
02:10:17,430 --> 02:10:16,000
open it's kind of like two suction cups

2565
02:10:19,830 --> 02:10:17,440
stuck together

2566
02:10:22,790 --> 02:10:19,840
um and so she's working on what's called

2567
02:10:25,990 --> 02:10:22,800
burping the seal so she's kind of

2568
02:10:28,550 --> 02:10:26,000
opening up a valve to uh allow a little

2569
02:10:30,149 --> 02:10:28,560
bit of air into the seal

2570
02:10:32,229 --> 02:10:30,159
and hopefully that'll just give her

2571
02:10:33,430 --> 02:10:32,239
enough uh

2572
02:10:35,270 --> 02:10:33,440
enough give

2573
02:10:36,950 --> 02:10:35,280
to get that hatch open she's already

2574
02:10:39,750 --> 02:10:36,960
kind of cranked the latch

2575
02:10:43,589 --> 02:10:39,760
to unhook it so she's again working on

2576
02:10:45,350 --> 02:10:43,599
burping the seal right now um if that

2577
02:10:46,870 --> 02:10:45,360
doesn't quite work there's another

2578
02:10:49,189 --> 02:10:46,880
release valve that she will kind of use

2579
02:10:51,350 --> 02:10:49,199
to pop the seal

2580
02:10:52,950 --> 02:10:51,360
and uh that's if they start working on

2581
02:10:54,629 --> 02:10:52,960
something kind of in the middle of the

2582
02:10:56,790 --> 02:10:54,639
hatch that's what they'll be working on

2583
02:10:59,030 --> 02:10:56,800
it looks like that might be what they're

2584
02:11:01,589 --> 02:10:59,040
doing right now

2585
02:11:03,430 --> 02:11:01,599
yeah you look great man

2586
02:11:05,589 --> 02:11:03,440
for a while now she's still working on

2587
02:11:07,990 --> 02:11:05,599
that lower valve

2588
02:11:10,229 --> 02:11:08,000
been trying to

2589
02:11:12,390 --> 02:11:10,239
burp that seal yes that is the technical

2590
02:11:14,149 --> 02:11:12,400
term

2591
02:11:15,910 --> 02:11:14,159
it's very descriptive

2592
02:11:19,350 --> 02:11:15,920
what what will happen after that once

2593
02:11:21,430 --> 02:11:19,360
they do have that that still burped

2594
02:11:22,390 --> 02:11:21,440
so again if they can uh if that gets

2595
02:11:25,510 --> 02:11:22,400
enough

2596
02:11:27,910 --> 02:11:25,520
uh air into that seal they'll be able to

2597
02:11:30,310 --> 02:11:27,920
you know release the hatch seal and then

2598
02:11:31,589 --> 02:11:30,320
they can open up the hatch

2599
02:11:40,470 --> 02:11:31,599
so that's what they're working on right

2600
02:11:43,990 --> 02:11:42,629
um

2601
02:11:45,669 --> 02:11:44,000
we're getting really good views right

2602
02:11:47,990 --> 02:11:45,679
over the shoulder so these are great

2603
02:11:52,069 --> 02:11:50,470
yeah i wish we got it a little earlier

2604
02:11:53,830 --> 02:11:52,079
because the fire rescue team when

2605
02:11:55,830 --> 02:11:53,840
they're putting that platform into place

2606
02:11:57,430 --> 02:11:55,840
i mean they they work together so well

2607
02:11:58,870 --> 02:11:57,440
hearing kind of their their calls as

2608
02:12:01,270 --> 02:11:58,880
they

2609
02:12:03,830 --> 02:12:01,280
orchestrate the operation is is really

2610
02:12:06,149 --> 02:12:03,840
uh fun to watch there

2611
02:12:08,390 --> 02:12:06,159
we got to see that and the environmental

2612
02:12:10,870 --> 02:12:08,400
enclosure go on just not from quite this

2613
02:12:17,910 --> 02:12:12,550
hopefully for later fights we'll get all

2614
02:12:22,629 --> 02:12:21,030
and uh getting a tv signal

2615
02:12:24,470 --> 02:12:22,639
out of a remote landing site in the

2616
02:12:25,910 --> 02:12:24,480
desert presents its own set of technical

2617
02:12:27,350 --> 02:12:25,920
challenges but i'm glad we're getting

2618
02:12:29,030 --> 02:12:27,360
this view right now again this is

2619
02:12:31,510 --> 02:12:29,040
opening up the hatch

2620
02:12:33,669 --> 02:12:31,520
and josh we do have confirmation that it

2621
02:12:35,030 --> 02:12:33,679
appears they've relieved the pressure on

2622
02:12:37,270 --> 02:12:35,040
the seal looks like they're getting

2623
02:12:47,189 --> 02:12:37,280
close to

2624
02:12:51,510 --> 02:12:48,870
all right well while they work on that

2625
02:12:53,589 --> 02:12:51,520
steven brandy i'm going to step away we

2626
02:12:55,510 --> 02:12:53,599
are going to go find the crew members

2627
02:12:57,270 --> 02:12:55,520
and hear from them here

2628
02:13:00,149 --> 02:12:57,280
uh from their perspective of how that

2629
02:13:02,629 --> 02:13:00,159
went and we'll get them on camera um for

2630
02:13:03,910 --> 02:13:02,639
you guys here momentarily we'll stand by

2631
02:13:05,910 --> 02:13:03,920
thank you

2632
02:13:07,589 --> 02:13:05,920
and since we are uh just hitting the top

2633
02:13:09,910 --> 02:13:07,599

they'll be joining us at 9am central

2643
02:13:34,310 --> 02:13:32,159
time for a post

2644
02:13:36,229 --> 02:13:34,320
landing news conference

2645
02:13:38,069 --> 02:13:36,239
media who want to participate in that

2646
02:13:46,629 --> 02:13:38,079
can call the johnson space center

2647
02:14:00,390 --> 02:13:48,390
and for those just joining us here at

2648
02:14:07,350 --> 02:14:03,030
and we do have views now the hatch is

2649
02:14:10,470 --> 02:14:07,360
open starliner's oft hatch is open

2650
02:14:11,589 --> 02:14:10,480
rosie snoopy inside rosie the rocketeer

2651
02:14:15,189 --> 02:14:11,599
and the

2652
02:14:17,189 --> 02:14:15,199
low gravity indicator snoopy both made

2653
02:14:20,470 --> 02:14:17,199
the trip along with uh

2654
02:14:22,950 --> 02:14:20,480
along with a lot of commemorative cargo

2655
02:14:24,790 --> 02:14:22,960
flags coins and even tree seeds that'll

2656
02:14:26,149 --> 02:14:24,800
be planted

2657
02:14:28,550 --> 02:14:26,159
in in

2658
02:14:30,229 --> 02:14:28,560
commemoration of this mission

2659
02:14:31,350 --> 02:14:30,239
of course a lot of things were learned

2660
02:14:32,709 --> 02:14:31,360
on this flight

2661
02:14:34,870 --> 02:14:32,719
it is the first

2662
02:14:39,109 --> 02:14:34,880
flight test of boeing's starliner

2663
02:14:52,310 --> 02:14:40,709
ground crews getting their first look

2664
02:14:57,030 --> 02:14:54,950
and the frame that you saw push pushed

2665
02:14:58,390 --> 02:14:57,040
into place there in the hatches is

2666
02:15:00,470 --> 02:14:58,400
actually a

2667
02:15:02,550 --> 02:15:00,480
cover for those same seals that they

2668
02:15:15,430 --> 02:15:02,560
were just relieving the pressure on

2669
02:15:15,440 --> 02:15:22,390
is

2670
02:15:26,149 --> 02:15:23,830
and we can see the ground team going

2671
02:15:27,830 --> 02:15:26,159
through their carefully planned steps as

2672
02:15:29,990 --> 02:15:27,840
they prepare

2673
02:15:31,669 --> 02:15:30,000
the spacecraft putting a cover over that

2674
02:15:35,510 --> 02:15:31,679
over that hatch that they just opened a

2675
02:15:41,350 --> 02:15:37,430
first they're going to confirm that the

2676
02:15:45,990 --> 02:15:43,910
this flight test produced a lot of data

2677
02:15:50,310 --> 02:15:46,000
for engineers a lot of

2678
02:15:52,310 --> 02:15:50,320
information and a lot of um

2679
02:15:54,470 --> 02:15:52,320
operational process

2680
02:15:56,709 --> 02:15:54,480
processes

2681
02:15:59,750 --> 02:15:56,719
to see how it

2682
02:16:01,189 --> 02:15:59,760
performs in space

2683
02:16:03,589 --> 02:16:01,199
and of course

2684
02:16:05,589 --> 02:16:03,599
two of the big parts of that are the

2685
02:16:07,350 --> 02:16:05,599
launch and then they return to earth

2686
02:16:09,030 --> 02:16:07,360
these are very dynamic events shouldn't

2687
02:16:10,790 --> 02:16:09,040
be overlooked

2688
02:16:12,950 --> 02:16:10,800
and we see

2689
02:16:27,430 --> 02:16:12,960
right now that starliner

2690
02:16:30,870 --> 02:16:29,669
and we have our first landing recovery

2691
02:16:32,950 --> 02:16:30,880
team

2692
02:16:35,830 --> 02:16:32,960
engineer about to go inside the

2693
02:16:38,389 --> 02:16:35,840
starliner vehicle

2694
02:16:46,150 --> 02:16:38,399
selena doe part

2695
02:16:49,830 --> 02:16:48,070
for those who are just joining us

2696
02:16:52,150 --> 02:16:49,840
boeing's starliner spacecraft touched

2697
02:16:54,309 --> 02:16:52,160
down in white sands new mexico an hour

2698
02:16:56,070 --> 02:16:54,319
and six minutes ago

2699
02:16:58,389 --> 02:16:56,080
came down under three

2700
02:17:01,429 --> 02:16:58,399
main parachutes

2701
02:17:03,429 --> 02:17:01,439
touchdown on six airbags

2702
02:17:05,589 --> 02:17:03,439
now we see selena doe part of the

2703
02:17:07,990 --> 02:17:05,599
landing recovery team moving into the

2704
02:17:11,349 --> 02:17:08,000
starliner vehicle

2705
02:17:13,110 --> 02:17:11,359
this mission was without a crew

2706
02:17:20,150 --> 02:17:13,120
as the first

2707
02:17:24,309 --> 02:17:22,150
but we do have rosie the rocketeer in

2708
02:17:25,589 --> 02:17:24,319
the commander's seat an anthropometric

2709
02:17:27,589 --> 02:17:25,599
test device

2710
02:17:29,110 --> 02:17:27,599
gathering all sorts of data she's

2711
02:17:30,790 --> 02:17:29,120
outfitted with

2712
02:17:33,349 --> 02:17:30,800
all kinds of instruments that's going to

2713
02:17:35,669 --> 02:17:33,359
tell us exactly what the crew can expect

2714
02:17:36,870 --> 02:17:35,679
early indications are the crew can

2715
02:17:44,230 --> 02:17:36,880
expect

2716
02:17:44,240 --> 02:18:09,030
is

2717
02:18:09,040 --> 02:18:26,790
down to okay

2718
02:18:26,800 --> 02:18:40,709
those guys

2719
02:18:40,719 --> 02:19:04,230
oh

2720
02:19:07,669 --> 02:19:06,950
ortio

2721
02:19:12,709 --> 02:19:07,679
and

2722
02:19:14,389 --> 02:19:12,719
recovery team that rosie the rocketeer

2723
02:19:32,709 --> 02:19:14,399
is still strapped in in the commander's

2724
02:19:45,190 --> 02:19:34,389
it's in her vehicle detection of where

2725
02:19:50,230 --> 02:19:46,870
well we're standing by on this we do

2726
02:19:52,070 --> 02:19:50,240
have another photo that came in after uh

2727
02:20:15,270 --> 02:19:52,080
after starliners touched down from our

2728
02:20:18,870 --> 02:20:16,950
uh we've got what comes out of it we

2729
02:20:21,190 --> 02:20:18,880
can't do anything to it okay

2730
02:20:26,070 --> 02:20:24,469
i'm done with it just belong to drive

2731
02:20:27,990 --> 02:20:26,080
sorry slight delay there but there's

2732
02:20:29,270 --> 02:20:28,000
that uh photo i was promising this again

2733
02:20:31,349 --> 02:20:29,280
taken by

2734
02:20:33,990 --> 02:20:31,359
the uh nasa photographers on the scene

2735
02:20:37,270 --> 02:20:34,000
and uh there's uh the one that we got

2736
02:20:40,870 --> 02:20:37,280
from starliner just after it landed

2737
02:20:43,270 --> 02:20:40,880
at five uh 5 58 a.m mountain time 6 58

2738
02:20:45,030 --> 02:20:43,280
a.m central time you can see that that

2739
02:20:46,389 --> 02:20:45,040
is right at landing because of the

2740
02:20:50,309 --> 02:20:46,399
position of the

2741
02:20:52,070 --> 02:20:50,319
this photog those photographs coming in

2742
02:20:54,389 --> 02:20:52,080
from aubrey

2743
02:20:55,990 --> 02:20:54,399
jiminy nasa photographer there on the

2744
02:20:58,950 --> 02:20:56,000
scene

2745
02:21:00,870 --> 02:20:58,960
it really was a great view this morning

2746
02:21:02,710 --> 02:21:00,880
as a starliner touched down about an

2747
02:21:04,950 --> 02:21:02,720
hour and ten minutes ago now we're back

2748
02:21:07,910 --> 02:21:04,960
to live imagery of the landing recovery

2749
02:21:57,190 --> 02:21:07,920
team as they look in on the hatch

2750
02:22:02,070 --> 02:21:59,270
we expect to hear momentarily from the

2751
02:22:03,110 --> 02:22:02,080
landing team there on site who

2752
02:22:04,870 --> 02:22:03,120
we

2753
02:22:07,670 --> 02:22:04,880
think are just about to get into place

2754
02:22:09,510 --> 02:22:07,680
with the next crew to fly on a starliner

2755
02:22:11,990 --> 02:22:09,520
for the first crew to fly out of style

2756
02:22:13,590 --> 02:22:12,000
nasa's mike fake and nicole man along

2757
02:22:15,910 --> 02:22:13,600
with boeing's uh

2758
02:22:17,830 --> 02:22:15,920
chris ferguson expect to hear from them

2759
02:22:19,030 --> 02:22:17,840
uh just momentarily i think uh there's

2760
02:22:21,429 --> 02:22:19,040
they're still getting into place but

2761
02:22:40,469 --> 02:22:21,439
we're gonna hold on and and

2762
02:22:46,150 --> 02:22:43,110
and just a note on the interior cabin

2763
02:22:48,630 --> 02:22:46,160
conditions as they were reported

2764
02:22:50,630 --> 02:22:48,640
the inside humidity was 51 percent

2765
02:22:53,429 --> 02:22:50,640
temperature internally

2766
02:22:55,349 --> 02:22:53,439
around 54 degrees so this spacecraft

2767
02:22:56,550 --> 02:22:55,359
handled very very well

2768
02:22:58,469 --> 02:22:56,560
in fact

2769
02:23:55,349 --> 02:22:58,479
better performance

2770
02:23:59,030 --> 02:23:57,030
and we're looking now at some of the

2771
02:24:00,230 --> 02:23:59,040
astronauts there in the blue pants and

2772
02:24:09,590 --> 02:24:00,240
their

2773
02:24:14,790 --> 02:24:13,030
they flew out to new mexico to

2774
02:24:16,550 --> 02:24:14,800
follow starliner's

2775
02:24:20,309 --> 02:24:16,560
return to earth

2776
02:24:21,830 --> 02:24:20,319
we see two more coming down

2777
02:24:23,910 --> 02:24:21,840
joining the uh

2778
02:24:25,830 --> 02:24:23,920
joining the group they're within within

2779
02:24:38,710 --> 02:24:25,840
a few feet

2780
02:24:47,190 --> 02:24:40,550
so right now we're looking at the

2781
02:24:51,110 --> 02:24:49,190
as they shuffle around with the landing

2782
02:24:52,630 --> 02:24:51,120
recovery team

2783
02:25:06,870 --> 02:24:52,640
there's a lot of activity out by that

2784
02:25:10,550 --> 02:25:08,630
and there's a lot of activity around the

2785
02:25:12,230 --> 02:25:10,560
capsule this uh this is a little bit

2786
02:25:14,309 --> 02:25:12,240
reminiscent of the shuttle days when

2787
02:25:17,110 --> 02:25:14,319
everybody would gather around the

2788
02:25:19,590 --> 02:25:17,120
shuttle after it landed and uh of course

2789
02:25:22,469 --> 02:25:19,600
you have crews come in with the soyuz

2790
02:25:23,670 --> 02:25:22,479
landing in kazakhstan yeah this is a

2791
02:25:24,870 --> 02:25:23,680
little

2792
02:25:26,550 --> 02:25:24,880
less remote than the shuttle but a

2793
02:25:29,030 --> 02:25:26,560
little more remote or not quite as

2794
02:25:30,790 --> 02:25:29,040
remote as the kazakhstan landing still

2795
02:25:32,469 --> 02:25:30,800
it does start to look familiar and it

2796
02:25:34,870 --> 02:25:32,479
looks like we may be getting close to

2797
02:25:37,270 --> 02:25:34,880
having the crew ready to talk with us

2798
02:25:38,950 --> 02:25:37,280
in fact i'm going to toss right on to

2799
02:25:45,030 --> 02:25:38,960
dan hewitt who is in the field how are

2800
02:25:49,110 --> 02:25:47,750
hey dan i don't think has his program

2801
02:25:50,950 --> 02:25:49,120
line working so i'm going to take it

2802
02:25:52,790 --> 02:25:50,960
from here but uh you know we're here

2803
02:25:55,910 --> 02:25:52,800
with nasa's nicole man boeing's chris

2804
02:25:57,990 --> 02:25:55,920
ferguson and nasa's mike fink guys uh

2805
02:25:59,349 --> 02:25:58,000
nicole i'll start with you seeing i'm

2806
02:26:00,630 --> 02:25:59,359
guessing this is your first spacecraft

2807
02:26:04,630 --> 02:26:00,640
landing

2808
02:26:06,309 --> 02:26:04,640
was incredible and see we're so excited

2809
02:26:07,670 --> 02:26:06,319
for the boeing and nasa team and the

2810
02:26:09,670 --> 02:26:07,680
recovery forces today just did an

2811
02:26:11,510 --> 02:26:09,680
incredible job

2812
02:26:14,550 --> 02:26:11,520
crystal clear day you could see it from

2813
02:26:16,230 --> 02:26:14,560
about 300 kilometers away a good double

2814
02:26:18,309 --> 02:26:16,240
sonic boom

2815
02:26:20,389 --> 02:26:18,319
watched all of the pyrotechnic ordnance

2816
02:26:22,070 --> 02:26:20,399
that deployed the parachutes

2817
02:26:23,750 --> 02:26:22,080
you know take care of itself on the way

2818
02:26:26,070 --> 02:26:23,760
down and we saw it all the touchdown

2819
02:26:27,910 --> 02:26:26,080
even on just a crystal clear but cold

2820
02:26:29,830 --> 02:26:27,920
morning work great

2821
02:26:31,670 --> 02:26:29,840
and mike here

2822
02:26:33,190 --> 02:26:31,680
three parachutes

2823
02:26:35,830 --> 02:26:33,200
six uh

2824
02:26:37,990 --> 02:26:35,840
airbags and a beautiful soft landing

2825
02:26:40,389 --> 02:26:38,000
can't wait to try it out

2826
02:26:41,670 --> 02:26:40,399
so we we had a flawless launch we had a

2827
02:26:43,590 --> 02:26:41,680
couple issues once we were up there

2828
02:26:45,429 --> 02:26:43,600
what's it mean now to see this vehicle

2829
02:26:47,670 --> 02:26:45,439
come down you know almost picture

2830
02:26:49,510 --> 02:26:47,680
perfect flight test data flight test

2831
02:26:52,870 --> 02:26:49,520
data flight test data we've got a lot of

2832
02:26:54,870 --> 02:26:52,880
data on the the launch the orbital uh

2833
02:26:56,230 --> 02:26:54,880
portion of the flight the eclipse system

2834
02:26:58,150 --> 02:26:56,240
that's environmental control life

2835
02:26:59,830 --> 02:26:58,160
support uh everything's worked worked

2836
02:27:01,670 --> 02:26:59,840
great and then we brought it home and

2837
02:27:03,750 --> 02:27:01,680
everything worked it was uh it was great

2838
02:27:05,910 --> 02:27:03,760
data and we're going to analyze it and

2839
02:27:07,429 --> 02:27:05,920
and we're going to see

2840
02:27:09,990 --> 02:27:07,439
anything that we need to fix for the

2841
02:27:12,389 --> 02:27:10,000
next flight but it's looking good

2842
02:27:14,150 --> 02:27:12,399
now chris i remember when i was with uh

2843
02:27:15,590 --> 02:27:14,160
you down in the simulator in houston you

2844
02:27:17,190 --> 02:27:15,600
talked about how much different this is

2845
02:27:18,150 --> 02:27:17,200
going to be coming back than the shuttle

2846
02:27:19,510 --> 02:27:18,160
because you're almost coming in

2847
02:27:20,550 --> 02:27:19,520
backwards can you talk a little bit

2848
02:27:22,950 --> 02:27:20,560
about that

2849
02:27:25,190 --> 02:27:22,960
yeah i what really impressed me was uh

2850
02:27:27,830 --> 02:27:25,200
you know the shuttle sort of uh glided

2851
02:27:29,590 --> 02:27:27,840
into the atmosphere and uh yeah at the

2852
02:27:32,070 --> 02:27:29,600
sort of in the end game

2853
02:27:34,070 --> 02:27:32,080
it was pretty steep this was really

2854
02:27:35,429 --> 02:27:34,080
steep so it almost looked like it was

2855
02:27:37,030 --> 02:27:35,439
going to overshoot the landing site and

2856
02:27:39,270 --> 02:27:37,040
at the last minute you know gravity sort

2857
02:27:41,110 --> 02:27:39,280
of took over and it pretty much came

2858
02:27:42,870 --> 02:27:41,120
straight on down so

2859
02:27:44,469 --> 02:27:42,880
i was a little curious about the boom we

2860
02:27:47,190 --> 02:27:44,479
got a nice double boom out of it i would

2861
02:27:48,790 --> 02:27:47,200
say it was real loud but other than that

2862
02:27:50,790 --> 02:27:48,800
being able to just watch the entire

2863
02:27:53,429 --> 02:27:50,800
sequence from the ground on down

2864
02:27:55,590 --> 02:27:53,439
was uh was just fantastic i heard

2865
02:27:57,190 --> 02:27:55,600
the our radar team picked up lock right

2866
02:27:59,190 --> 02:27:57,200
over the mountains as it was

2867
02:28:01,910 --> 02:27:59,200
mountain rise which is great i heard

2868
02:28:02,630 --> 02:28:01,920
that the wb-57 with reconnaissance and

2869
02:28:04,790 --> 02:28:02,640
and

2870
02:28:06,230 --> 02:28:04,800
telemetry data picked up a lot of

2871
02:28:09,429 --> 02:28:06,240
a lot as well so we're going to have a

2872
02:28:11,190 --> 02:28:09,439
lot to look at uh a really clean landing

2873
02:28:13,510 --> 02:28:11,200
now the reason we took a little bit to

2874
02:28:15,110 --> 02:28:13,520
get you guys over here we had to go

2875
02:28:16,950 --> 02:28:15,120
get you away from that base heat shield

2876
02:28:19,110 --> 02:28:16,960
you were examining that you know nicole

2877
02:28:20,550 --> 02:28:19,120
uh seeing the the crew module on the

2878
02:28:22,309 --> 02:28:20,560
heat shields around here you know what

2879
02:28:24,389 --> 02:28:22,319
did it look like seeing the hardware on

2880
02:28:26,150 --> 02:28:24,399
the ground to you it was amazing to me i

2881
02:28:27,910 --> 02:28:26,160
couldn't imagine that it had just come

2882
02:28:29,670 --> 02:28:27,920
through the atmosphere at incredible

2883
02:28:31,510 --> 02:28:29,680
temperatures it looked like it was in

2884
02:28:33,349 --> 02:28:31,520
great shape um you could see when it

2885
02:28:34,710 --> 02:28:33,359
impacted the ground and that it had a

2886
02:28:37,110 --> 02:28:34,720
little damage but other than that you

2887
02:28:38,309 --> 02:28:37,120
know it really looked uniform and it was

2888
02:28:39,830 --> 02:28:38,319
in really in great shape i think we're

2889
02:28:41,190 --> 02:28:39,840
going to get a lot of great data from

2890
02:28:43,750 --> 02:28:41,200
recovering those

2891
02:28:46,630 --> 02:28:43,760
well i know it's pretty cold out here um

2892
02:28:48,550 --> 02:28:46,640
we might let you guys bundle back up

2893
02:28:50,630 --> 02:28:48,560
and toss it back to you guys brandi and

2894
02:28:53,750 --> 02:28:50,640
steve out in houston and uh i want to

2895
02:28:55,670 --> 02:28:53,760
bundle back up too it's freezing

2896
02:28:57,590 --> 02:28:55,680
thanks so much josh and great to see the

2897
02:29:00,070 --> 02:28:57,600
crew out there and as you can see we are

2898
02:29:02,230 --> 02:29:00,080
now joined by uh flight director richard

2899
02:29:04,230 --> 02:29:02,240
jones coming off a great landing welcome

2900
02:29:06,150 --> 02:29:04,240
richard thank you so much thanks so much

2901
02:29:07,750 --> 02:29:06,160
for joining us um

2902
02:29:10,790 --> 02:29:07,760
how does it feel to be has gotten to

2903
02:29:12,950 --> 02:29:10,800
this point oh it's a it's a relief uh

2904
02:29:14,630 --> 02:29:12,960
but excitement at the same time you know

2905
02:29:16,309 --> 02:29:14,640
it was a lot of people are looking at

2906
02:29:18,630 --> 02:29:16,319
this mission that we didn't get

2907
02:29:22,070 --> 02:29:18,640
everything that we should have but in my

2908
02:29:24,550 --> 02:29:22,080
eyes it was a huge success huge success

2909
02:29:26,070 --> 02:29:24,560
and uh you heard the nasa administrator

2910
02:29:28,389 --> 02:29:26,080
soon after talking about how much

2911
02:29:30,230 --> 02:29:28,399
information is coming from this mission

2912
02:29:32,710 --> 02:29:30,240
talk a little bit about some of some of

2913
02:29:34,630 --> 02:29:32,720
the things you you and your team

2914
02:29:35,990 --> 02:29:34,640
work through issues at the beginning but

2915
02:29:37,910 --> 02:29:36,000
then you got a lot of stuff done and of

2916
02:29:40,710 --> 02:29:37,920
course today's landing was

2917
02:29:43,030 --> 02:29:40,720
was just beautiful yeah we you know aft

2918
02:29:45,030 --> 02:29:43,040
we proved clearly the ascent and entry

2919
02:29:46,630 --> 02:29:45,040
systems worked great but we also had the

2920
02:29:48,630 --> 02:29:46,640
opportunity to fly underneath the

2921
02:29:51,510 --> 02:29:48,640
station the space station

2922
02:29:53,270 --> 02:29:51,520
we made voice communications with them

2923
02:29:55,349 --> 02:29:53,280
not necessarily through a voice

2924
02:29:57,429 --> 02:29:55,359
communication but we had a positive link

2925
02:30:00,230 --> 02:29:57,439
where we tested commands

2926
02:30:02,389 --> 02:30:00,240
so we got some objectives done

2927
02:30:03,830 --> 02:30:02,399
talk a little bit about your team you

2928
02:30:06,230 --> 02:30:03,840
you have you don't do all this by

2929
02:30:10,070 --> 02:30:06,240
yourself no no none of us do all this by

2930
02:30:11,750 --> 02:30:10,080
ourselves no i am definitely a a part of

2931
02:30:13,750 --> 02:30:11,760
one of the most exceptional teams that

2932
02:30:16,790 --> 02:30:13,760
i've been a part of you know it's

2933
02:30:19,349 --> 02:30:16,800
we we accomplished so much uh with this

2934
02:30:21,270 --> 02:30:19,359
with this flight the team members they

2935
02:30:23,510 --> 02:30:21,280
every single one

2936
02:30:26,309 --> 02:30:23,520
contributed in their own in their own

2937
02:30:28,070 --> 02:30:26,319
way and uh contributed the successful

2938
02:30:30,070 --> 02:30:28,080
outcome of this mission so very proud to

2939
02:30:32,630 --> 02:30:30,080
be a part of that i feel like a lot of

2940
02:30:34,150 --> 02:30:32,640
the successes are probably due to a

2941
02:30:36,309 --> 02:30:34,160
whole lot of training on the front end

2942
02:30:37,990 --> 02:30:36,319
on your side yeah no we've been training

2943
02:30:39,510 --> 02:30:38,000
for over a year now we've had a lot of

2944
02:30:40,469 --> 02:30:39,520
simulations going through all of these

2945
02:30:41,910 --> 02:30:40,479
things

2946
02:30:44,230 --> 02:30:41,920
and it's kind of built into the flight

2947
02:30:46,309 --> 02:30:44,240
control elements that we all are trying

2948
02:30:47,429 --> 02:30:46,319
to hone our skills to do and it's just

2949
02:30:49,590 --> 02:30:47,439
to

2950
02:30:51,349 --> 02:30:49,600
perform under the sometimes the face of

2951
02:30:53,750 --> 02:30:51,359
adversity and perform

2952
02:30:55,990 --> 02:30:53,760
uh when everything is calm so you know

2953
02:30:57,750 --> 02:30:56,000
it's just it's part of what we do you

2954
02:30:59,429 --> 02:30:57,760
all seem very calm the whole time we

2955
02:31:00,710 --> 02:30:59,439
were right here with you and it was

2956
02:31:03,270 --> 02:31:00,720
amazing to us

2957
02:31:05,270 --> 02:31:03,280
well it was you know it's almost like a

2958
02:31:07,830 --> 02:31:05,280
duck with their feet paddling underwater

2959
02:31:09,590 --> 02:31:07,840
we were working really hard uh trying to

2960
02:31:12,389 --> 02:31:09,600
get through some really difficult

2961
02:31:15,270 --> 02:31:12,399
uh challenges but uh on the surface yeah

2962
02:31:16,790 --> 02:31:15,280
that's that's our demeanor

2963
02:31:18,710 --> 02:31:16,800
when um

2964
02:31:20,790 --> 02:31:18,720
you had of course this great seat where

2965
02:31:23,349 --> 02:31:20,800
you saw the telemetry of the vehicle as

2966
02:31:24,550 --> 02:31:23,359
it came down as it landed

2967
02:31:26,870 --> 02:31:24,560
looked

2968
02:31:29,349 --> 02:31:26,880
stable as a table to us came down soft

2969
02:31:31,830 --> 02:31:29,359
as could be you saw the

2970
02:31:35,110 --> 02:31:31,840
numbers how did that look to you no the

2971
02:31:36,950 --> 02:31:35,120
the data looked i mean just great

2972
02:31:37,750 --> 02:31:36,960
and uh

2973
02:31:39,910 --> 02:31:37,760
we

2974
02:31:41,590 --> 02:31:39,920
there was a period during reentry where

2975
02:31:43,429 --> 02:31:41,600
we had a little bit of a blackout but it

2976
02:31:44,630 --> 02:31:43,439
happened exactly where it should have

2977
02:31:46,710 --> 02:31:44,640
been

2978
02:31:48,710 --> 02:31:46,720
all of the systems were performing

2979
02:31:49,510 --> 02:31:48,720
exactly like what we predicted in fact a

2980
02:31:50,790 --> 02:31:49,520
lot

2981
02:31:52,870 --> 02:31:50,800
performed better than what we were

2982
02:31:54,230 --> 02:31:52,880
expecting and so it was it was really

2983
02:31:56,550 --> 02:31:54,240
good to see the vehicle behave the way

2984
02:31:58,230 --> 02:31:56,560
it did and we are we're seeing right now

2985
02:32:00,230 --> 02:31:58,240
some live views of the astronauts

2986
02:32:03,190 --> 02:32:00,240
getting a look inside the vehicle

2987
02:32:05,030 --> 02:32:03,200
um i know you had a good seat but

2988
02:32:07,429 --> 02:32:05,040
it's hard to compete with that one no no

2989
02:32:09,110 --> 02:32:07,439
no uh you're right i cannot compete with

2990
02:32:11,990 --> 02:32:09,120
that it's going to be really exciting to

2991
02:32:13,990 --> 02:32:12,000
see the cft crew get into

2992
02:32:15,510 --> 02:32:14,000
not necessarily this vehicle but its

2993
02:32:17,349 --> 02:32:15,520
vehicle their vehicle that they're going

2994
02:32:19,670 --> 02:32:17,359
to fly to the space station it's going

2995
02:32:22,070 --> 02:32:19,680
to be a great day to see that happen

2996
02:32:25,190 --> 02:32:22,080
how do you think rosie the rocketeer did

2997
02:32:26,870 --> 02:32:25,200
during this flight i'm sure she did just

2998
02:32:28,710 --> 02:32:26,880
fine

2999
02:32:32,230 --> 02:32:28,720
you know she got a great ride during

3000
02:32:34,790 --> 02:32:32,240
ascent the atlas v performed flawlessly

3001
02:32:35,910 --> 02:32:34,800
once we got on orbit she got to see how

3002
02:32:43,349 --> 02:32:35,920
the

3003
02:32:46,230 --> 02:32:43,359
she she probably had it's it's like a

3004
02:32:50,230 --> 02:32:46,240
southwest flight to

3005
02:32:53,510 --> 02:32:50,240
her hometown it was just that easy

3006
02:32:54,790 --> 02:32:53,520
when um when you look back at this

3007
02:32:56,230 --> 02:32:54,800
mission

3008
02:32:58,070 --> 02:32:56,240
what uh what are some of the days that

3009
02:33:00,150 --> 02:32:58,080
are going to stand out to you

3010
02:33:02,469 --> 02:33:00,160
oh every single day you know it's not

3011
02:33:04,230 --> 02:33:02,479
more of the days it was i will look back

3012
02:33:06,469 --> 02:33:04,240
on this and just remember the people

3013
02:33:09,110 --> 02:33:06,479
that were a part of it

3014
02:33:10,630 --> 02:33:09,120
there were just so many people not just

3015
02:33:12,630 --> 02:33:10,640
in this room

3016
02:33:14,469 --> 02:33:12,640
the engineering team whether they were

3017
02:33:17,190 --> 02:33:14,479
just down the hall

3018
02:33:19,429 --> 02:33:17,200
in florida the ula team members that we

3019
02:33:21,750 --> 02:33:19,439
had the mission management team meetings

3020
02:33:24,710 --> 02:33:21,760
that we had

3021
02:33:26,469 --> 02:33:24,720
it's uh it's really special to see so

3022
02:33:28,790 --> 02:33:26,479
many people from

3023
02:33:30,309 --> 02:33:28,800
different backgrounds just come together

3024
02:33:32,309 --> 02:33:30,319
and just perform

3025
02:33:35,590 --> 02:33:32,319
flawlessly that's what i'm going to

3026
02:33:39,590 --> 02:33:37,429
images from inside the cabin of

3027
02:33:42,070 --> 02:33:39,600
starliner richard you're seeing these

3028
02:33:44,230 --> 02:33:42,080
fresh just as we are

3029
02:33:45,110 --> 02:33:44,240
what are you thinking gosh you know it

3030
02:33:46,950 --> 02:33:45,120
looks

3031
02:33:49,270 --> 02:33:46,960
i'm looking inside that

3032
02:33:51,990 --> 02:33:49,280
that cabin it looks like all of

3033
02:33:53,990 --> 02:33:52,000
the cargo did just fine

3034
02:33:55,590 --> 02:33:54,000
it's i would love to see rosie just

3035
02:33:58,230 --> 02:33:55,600
sitting there just to see

3036
02:34:00,550 --> 02:33:58,240
how uh how rosie did but boy it looks

3037
02:34:03,270 --> 02:34:00,560
like they had a really smooth ride

3038
02:34:05,670 --> 02:34:03,280
that's what it looks like to me

3039
02:34:07,190 --> 02:34:05,680
lots of good news today

3040
02:34:08,870 --> 02:34:07,200
you can see just a little bit of rosie

3041
02:34:09,990 --> 02:34:08,880
there on the left side of the screen i

3042
02:34:10,870 --> 02:34:10,000
do see her

3043
02:34:16,150 --> 02:34:10,880
yeah

3044
02:34:18,870 --> 02:34:16,160
looks like she had a great ride

3045
02:34:21,510 --> 02:34:18,880
well and richard returning to kind of

3046
02:34:23,510 --> 02:34:21,520
your journey so far you were on hand for

3047
02:34:25,510 --> 02:34:23,520
the last flight of the space shuttle and

3048
02:34:27,190 --> 02:34:25,520
now the first fight yes of this new

3049
02:34:28,309 --> 02:34:27,200
vehicle that's that's some interesting

3050
02:34:31,590 --> 02:34:28,319
book ends

3051
02:34:33,429 --> 02:34:31,600
it is and um it you know being a part of

3052
02:34:35,110 --> 02:34:33,439
sts-135

3053
02:34:36,790 --> 02:34:35,120
shutting down the shuttle program with

3054
02:34:38,150 --> 02:34:36,800
that mission it was very special it was

3055
02:34:40,309 --> 02:34:38,160
very emotional

3056
02:34:41,910 --> 02:34:40,319
um chris ferguson was a part of that

3057
02:34:42,790 --> 02:34:41,920
that mission so i'm paired with him

3058
02:34:45,590 --> 02:34:42,800
again

3059
02:34:47,830 --> 02:34:45,600
coming up on this upcoming cft mission

3060
02:34:50,309 --> 02:34:47,840
but to start up a new program like this

3061
02:34:52,309 --> 02:34:50,319
from the ground up all of the the years

3062
02:34:53,270 --> 02:34:52,319
of hard work that many many people put

3063
02:34:55,270 --> 02:34:53,280
into this

3064
02:34:58,630 --> 02:34:55,280
uh it's very special how i will always

3065
02:35:01,190 --> 02:34:58,640
remember that yeah i'm sure what would

3066
02:35:02,790 --> 02:35:01,200
you say that this team needs to do and

3067
02:35:04,950 --> 02:35:02,800
get ready for between now and the next

3068
02:35:06,950 --> 02:35:04,960
mission you know what we need to do is

3069
02:35:09,349 --> 02:35:06,960
we need to look at the data right we're

3070
02:35:11,030 --> 02:35:09,359
going to grab all the data that we we

3071
02:35:13,750 --> 02:35:11,040
collected during this flight break it

3072
02:35:15,110 --> 02:35:13,760
down look where things can be improved

3073
02:35:17,030 --> 02:35:15,120
look where things don't need to be

3074
02:35:18,070 --> 02:35:17,040
improved because there's a lot of areas

3075
02:35:21,830 --> 02:35:18,080
that

3076
02:35:24,150 --> 02:35:21,840
categories and

3077
02:35:27,590 --> 02:35:24,160
really look at it with the eye in terms

3078
02:35:29,910 --> 02:35:27,600
of what really has to happen

3079
02:35:32,630 --> 02:35:29,920
uh in terms of changing before we go fly

3080
02:35:33,990 --> 02:35:32,640
cft that's what we need to go do

3081
02:35:35,270 --> 02:35:34,000
well richard thank you so much for

3082
02:35:37,030 --> 02:35:35,280
joining us i really appreciate it i

3083
02:35:40,230 --> 02:35:37,040
think actually we are now i'm going to

3084
02:35:42,150 --> 02:35:40,240
go back to the field and hear from suni

3085
02:35:58,469 --> 02:35:42,160
williams who's going to be on this

3086
02:36:02,230 --> 02:36:00,389
and i think they may not quite have hurt

3087
02:36:06,630 --> 02:36:02,240
us so i'm going to try again

3088
02:36:11,830 --> 02:36:09,190
hey hey we can hear you now yeah i am

3089
02:36:14,870 --> 02:36:11,840
here with sunny williams she is going to

3090
02:36:17,590 --> 02:36:14,880
be the first post certification

3091
02:36:20,230 --> 02:36:17,600
uh mission commander of the ship that's

3092
02:36:21,910 --> 02:36:20,240
behind us here uh sunny i've been in a

3093
02:36:23,590 --> 02:36:21,920
lot of flight test readiness reviews

3094
02:36:25,830 --> 02:36:23,600
with you i've seen you interacting with

3095
02:36:28,790 --> 02:36:25,840
our employees i saw you at the landing

3096
02:36:30,870 --> 02:36:28,800
and recovery uh pre brief meeting

3097
02:36:32,950 --> 02:36:30,880
every time you're like you have got to

3098
02:36:36,070 --> 02:36:32,960
bring this back home so i can get

3099
02:36:37,830 --> 02:36:36,080
into space with josh and fly it again so

3100
02:36:39,750 --> 02:36:37,840
give us a recap of how you're feeling

3101
02:36:41,830 --> 02:36:39,760
watching you know starliner return from

3102
02:36:43,910 --> 02:36:41,840
space out here yeah it was really pretty

3103
02:36:45,429 --> 02:36:43,920
unbelievable it was picture perfect

3104
02:36:47,590 --> 02:36:45,439
everything about it was just amazing

3105
02:36:48,870 --> 02:36:47,600
from seeing the tail as it flew in well

3106
02:36:51,190 --> 02:36:48,880
first of all seeing the space station

3120
02:37:24,230 --> 02:37:21,439
their space capsules have had the

3121
02:37:25,910 --> 02:37:24,240
ability to name their spaceships and so

3122
02:37:27,110 --> 02:37:25,920
on behalf of the boeing company we would

3123
02:37:29,270 --> 02:37:27,120
really love for you to name that

3124
02:37:32,710 --> 02:37:29,280
spaceship behind us any thoughts on a

3125
02:37:36,070 --> 02:37:32,720
name yeah i have an idea you know um

3126
02:37:38,950 --> 02:37:36,080
a little homage to other exp explorers

3127
02:37:41,110 --> 02:37:38,960
and uh the ships that they uh rode on i

3128
02:37:43,270 --> 02:37:41,120
think we're going to call her calypso

3129
02:37:45,590 --> 02:37:43,280
calypso so let's let's think about this

3130
02:37:47,110 --> 02:37:45,600
right uh ship uh

3131
02:37:49,750 --> 02:37:47,120
jacques cousteau

3132
02:37:52,790 --> 02:37:49,760
yeah his ship calypso and so you're an

3133
02:37:54,469 --> 02:37:52,800
avid diver right so walk me through

3134
02:37:55,910 --> 02:37:54,479
why you think that name is fitting yeah

3135
02:37:57,670 --> 02:37:55,920
of course i love the ocean i love what

3136
02:37:59,750 --> 02:37:57,680
the ocean means to this planet we would

3137
02:38:01,590 --> 02:37:59,760
not be this planet without the ocean

3138
02:38:03,670 --> 02:38:01,600
there's so much to discover in the ocean

3139
02:38:05,590 --> 02:38:03,680
and there's so much to discover in space

3140
02:38:07,429 --> 02:38:05,600
just seemed like a natural marriage

3141
02:38:09,349 --> 02:38:07,439
we love it thank you so much for being

3142
02:38:11,590 --> 02:38:09,359
here and we can't wait to get you on

insertion but managed to get into a safe

3202
02:44:51,110 --> 02:44:48,319
stable orbit accomplished numerous

3203
02:44:52,870 --> 02:44:51,120
mission objectives

3204
02:44:54,630 --> 02:44:52,880
and then position the spacecraft for a

3205
02:44:56,950 --> 02:44:54,640
