00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,030
good afternoon from the international

3
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,360
space station flight control room this

4
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,119
is mission control houston bringing you

5
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,040
live coverage today of the launch of

6
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:31,520
northrop grumman's 13th cargo resupply

7
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,360
mission to the international space

8
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:35,600
station

9
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:37,759
you are looking live at the mid-atlantic

10
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:39,920
regional spaceport of nasa's wallops

11
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,000
flight facility in virginia where the

12
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,240
antares rocket stands ready to launch a

13
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:46,640
cygnus cargo spacecraft carrying about 7

14
00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:49,200
500 pounds of research crew supplies and

15
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:51,200
hardware to the international space

16
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:53,280
station

17
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:54,799
the launch attempt on sunday was

18
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:56,560
scrubbed due to a problem with ground

19
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,880
support equipment at the launch site

20
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,719
and following the scrub sunday antares

21
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,799
was drained of its fuel and engineers

22
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,399
worked to correct the ground support

23
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:06,399
equipment that caused the scrub

24
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:07,840
then on thursday it was rotated

25
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,920
horizontally to freshen time critical

26
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,760
payloads aboard the cygnus cargo

27
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:14,319
spacecraft the vehicle was then rotated

28
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:16,000
back into its vertical position but the

29
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:17,760
launch attempt yesterday was scrubbed

30
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,720
before fueling began due to high winds

31
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,360
today fueling for antares began about 45

32
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,680
minutes ago and now stands ready to send

33
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:27,280
cygnus to the international space

34
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:31,910
the winds are looking much more

35
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,760
favorable for launch with

36
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,120
for launch today with temperatures

37
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:37,680
around 36 degrees fahrenheit

38
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:39,440
joining me on console today is chad

39
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:41,599
davis northrop grumman's human systems

40
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:44,000
integration and operations manager

41
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:45,519
chad can you tell us a little bit a

42
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,200
little more about what caused the scrub

43
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:48,800
on sunday and what the teams did to

44
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:51,040
resolve the issue

45
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:53,360
sure thing good afternoon

46
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,519
basically with the the antares vehicle

47
00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:57,680
on sunday's scrub that we had we

48
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,680
experienced an off nominal reading on

49
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:01,280
part of the ground support equipment

50
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:04,800
which stripped a limit sensor and so uh

51
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:07,040
in the precaution and and per the flight

52
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:09,040
rules they went ahead and

53
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,480
scrubbed the launch since we were that

54
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,640
far into the countdown in the in that

55
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:14,720
very close time to t-minus three minutes

56
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:16,080
or so

57
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:18,319
and since that time the the crew out

58
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:19,760
there with the

59
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:22,319
interiors as well as the cygnus team uh

60
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,360
worked very hard to go ahead and uh

61
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:27,599
take that equipment replace it and do

62
00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:29,040
thorough testing of it to make sure we

63
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:31,440
were good to go for today's activities

64
00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,640
actually we're good to go for

65
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:34,159
yesterday's activities had the winds

66
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,440
been on our side

67
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:37,680
and also part of that allowed the

68
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,319
opportunity to refresh the cargo that we

69
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:42,400
talked about back on sunday on on that

70
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,789
so with those issues now behind us the

71
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,640
teams in the launch control center in

72
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:53,040
wallops island virginia those northrop

73
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:55,040
grumman teams are monitoring systems on

74
00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:57,280
the antares rocket and cygnus spacecraft

75
00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,200
to ensure all systems are a go for

76
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:01,200
launch today teams are reporting that

77
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:03,040
all systems are in good shape up to this

78
00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:05,840
point for an on time launch at 2 21 pm

79
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:07,599
central time

80
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,680
and once cygnus reaches its preliminary

81
00:04:13,509 --> 00:04:11,840
orbit controls of the vehicle will be

82
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:13,519
handed over to teams at northrop

83
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:15,040
grumman's mission control center in

84
00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:16,720
dulles virginia

85
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:18,400
teams are being led by mission director

86
00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:19,759
zach dwyer

87
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:22,079
again as soon as cygnus separates from

88
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,520
the rocket today controls of that

89
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:25,600
vehicle will be handed over to the

90
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,560
flight controllers there in dulles and

91
00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:30,479
back in the internet international space

92
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,479
station flight control room in houston

93
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,639
texas flight control teams are being led

94
00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:36,880
by flight director ron spencer

95
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:38,639
teams here are monitoring systems on the

96
00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:40,639
international space station ensuring all

97
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:43,040
systems are a go for cygnus launch today

98
00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:56,629
and i copy that cygnus will arrive to

99
00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:58,320
the international space station after a

100
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,400
three-day journey on tuesday february

101
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:02,800
18th where it will be installed on the

102
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:05,680
unity module's earth-facing port nasa's

103
00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:07,440
flight engineer drew morgan will use the

104
00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:09,520
canada arm 2 robotic arm to grapple the

105
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,680
cygnus spacecraft backed up by jessica

106
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:13,120
mir of nasa

107
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,720
once the astronauts have captured the

108
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:16,560
vehicle they'll turn controls back over

109
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,160
to teams here on the ground in mission

110
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,080
control houston where the robotics

111
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:21,919
officer will use the canada arm 2 to

112
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:23,759
reposition the spacecraft and bring it

113
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:25,759
toward the unity module to install it to

114
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:28,639
the international space station

115
00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:30,240
cygnus will remain attached to the

116
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,919
station until may 11

117
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,120
when it will depart the orbiting

118
00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:35,520
laboratory and complete some satellite

119
00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:37,199
deployments and additional objectives

120
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:39,039
before disposing of several tons of

121
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:41,120
trash during a fiery re-entry into the

122
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,430
just two weeks ago northrop grumman's

123
00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:55,360
cygnus cargo vehicle from its 12th

124
00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:57,680
resupply mission named the allen bean

125
00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:59,520
departed the international space station

126
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,759
after its 88-day stay

127
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:03,840
so when the 13th resupply mission

128
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:05,440
launches today northrop grumman will

129
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:07,600
perform dual cygnus capability for a

130
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:09,840
two-week period before its de-orbit burn

131
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,080
on february 29th

132
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:13,919
still joined on console today by chad

133
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:15,919
davis north of grumman's human systems

134
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:18,400
integration and operations manager chad

135
00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:19,919
can you explain how northrop grumman

136
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:21,759
teams managed two vehicles in flight at

137
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,280
once

138
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,199
uh yeah sure we had developed the

139
00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:27,680
capability uh back whenever we were we

140
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:29,759
knew we were going to fly the ng-11

141
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:32,240
vehicle for the extended period of time

142
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:33,840
and knew that that would overlap with

143
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:35,680
the ng-12 mission

144
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,000
so uh the the teams in the mission

145
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:40,240
operations center as well as our ground

146
00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:42,000
segment folks developed the software

147
00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,479
needed to be able to clearly identify

148
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,319
two separate vehicles so you knew which

149
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:48,560
vehicle you were commanding and flying

150
00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:50,720
and we went through multiple simulations

151
00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:53,039
to verify all those capabilities and

152
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:54,720
then we got the chance

153
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,120
at the end of the ng11 mission to test

154
00:07:01,749 --> 00:06:59,680
it out on 12 which now at this point

155
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,759
it's a sort of standard operating

156
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:03,919
procedure how we do it from this point

157
00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:13,670
and each cygnus spacecraft is named

158
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:15,440
after influential individuals in the

159
00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:17,039
world of space flight and the cygnus

160
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:18,800

pre-launch milestones today which began

211
00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:50,080
about four hours ago with the pole for

212
00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:52,399

just about an hour ago fueling for the

214
00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:07,990
there have also been various checks

215
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,360
between flight controllers here in

216
00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:11,360
houston and dulles virginia to ensure

217
00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,959

some upcoming milestones about 12

223
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,880
minutes from launch flight controllers

224
00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:30,720
will conduct a poll to proceed with the

225
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:33,040
final launch countdown and about five

226
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:34,399
minutes from launch the vehicle will

227
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:36,320
switch to internal power

228
00:11:39,990 --> 00:11:38,000
then just about three minutes and 30

229
00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:40,000

379
00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:10,640
and i copy that ng will go to proceed

380
00:25:21,110 --> 00:25:18,950
and launching bfi step 389 will not be

381
00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:21,120
required and step 390 will not be

382

383
00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,750
you just heard the poll to proceed with

384
00:26:03,990 --> 00:25:33,520
the final countdown to launch and all

385
00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:06,149
just under 11 minutes now from launch

386
00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:07,760
and everything is still proceeding

387
00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:10,400
smoothly for an on-time launch at 2 21

pm central time 3 21 pm eastern

389
00:26:17,269 --> 00:26:15,600
once we get to that launch time the

390
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:17,279
first thing that will occur is the stage

391
00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:19,120
one ignition and you'll see lift off

392
00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:21,279
just a few seconds after that and those

393
00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:22,880
two main engines will burn for about

394
00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:24,720
three minutes and 28 seconds before

395
00:26:28,789 --> 00:26:27,120

beginning

587
00:47:31,270 --> 00:47:29,829
and cygnus is now on its way to the

588
00:47:33,270 --> 00:47:31,280
international space station where it

589
00:47:35,510 --> 00:47:33,280
will arrive in three days on tuesday

590
00:47:37,589 --> 00:47:35,520
february 18th i'm still joined on

591
00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:37,599
console here by chad davis of northrop

592
00:47:43,430 --> 00:47:41,670
chad what will the north of german teams

593
00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:43,440
do here on the ground until cygnus

594
00:47:47,589 --> 00:47:45,839
arrives to the space station

595
00:47:49,510 --> 00:47:47,599
uh from this point moving forward now

596
00:47:52,710 --> 00:47:49,520
that cygnus is separated from the upper

597
00:47:54,950 --> 00:47:52,720
stage the team in uh mcc douglas that we

598
00:47:56,950 --> 00:47:54,960
saw earlier zach dwyer the current

599
00:47:59,750 --> 00:47:56,960
mission director followed by

600
00:48:02,069 --> 00:47:59,760
uh paul brower the second shift mission

601
00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:02,079
director will be

602
00:48:05,670 --> 00:48:04,000
making sure all the systems are nominal

603
00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:05,680
going through getting the solar rays

604
00:48:09,670 --> 00:48:07,040
deployed

605
00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:09,680
initializing the prop system and

606
00:48:14,549 --> 00:48:11,440
essentially starting to play catch up

607
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:14,559
with the international space station

608
00:48:18,230 --> 00:48:16,319
and looking forward to cygnus departure

609
00:48:19,829 --> 00:48:18,240
on may 11 cygnus will perform some

610
00:48:22,150 --> 00:48:19,839
secondary operations can you go over

611
00:48:25,030 --> 00:48:22,160
some of those

612
00:48:27,109 --> 00:48:25,040
sure yeah once once we depart the iss we

613
00:48:29,030 --> 00:48:27,119
typically perform a burn to climb up to

614
00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:29,040
a little bit higher altitude

615
00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:30,960
and then we have different payloads on

616
00:48:34,870 --> 00:48:33,680
board uh microsoft cubesat deploys we

617
00:48:37,030 --> 00:48:34,880
typically do

618
00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:37,040
and for this particular mission

619
00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:38,960
we have the sapphire or the fire

620
00:48:43,270 --> 00:48:40,640
experiment that we talked about on

621
00:48:45,670 --> 00:48:43,280
sunday uh provided by the glenn research

622
00:48:46,870 --> 00:48:45,680
center and we'll actually set off that

623
00:48:49,109 --> 00:48:46,880
experiment

624
00:48:51,990 --> 00:48:49,119
to measure different uh

625
00:48:54,069 --> 00:48:52,000
interactions of fire and microgravity

626
00:48:56,390 --> 00:48:54,079
and that will occur inside sickness post

627
00:48:58,150 --> 00:48:56,400
deploy so those are two two of the main

628
00:48:58,950 --> 00:48:58,160
activities that we do along with some

629
00:49:01,670 --> 00:48:58,960
other

630
00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:01,680
uh what we call you know lessons learned

631
00:49:06,230 --> 00:49:03,359
that we gain more and more experience

632
00:49:09,190 --> 00:49:07,750
all right chad thank you for joining us

633
00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:09,200
today and here shortly we'll be talking

634
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:11,119
to joel montalbano international space

635
00:50:58,069 --> 00:49:13,760
station deputy program manager

636
00:51:01,430 --> 00:50:59,589
now joining me on console is joel

637
00:51:03,349 --> 00:51:01,440

great to be here awesome launch awesome

641
00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:09,359
launch today

642
00:51:12,790 --> 00:51:10,800
cygnus is

643
00:51:14,790 --> 00:51:12,800
in orbit and route to the station for

644
00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:14,800
its arrival on tuesday so how important

645
00:51:18,390 --> 00:51:16,319
was today's launch in terms of

646
00:51:20,230 --> 00:51:18,400
continuing resupply of the station and

647
00:51:23,750 --> 00:51:20,240
the science it is delivering to the crew

648
00:51:25,349 --> 00:51:23,760
on board you know we meticulously plan

649
00:51:27,670 --> 00:51:25,359
every one of the missions going to the

650
00:51:29,430 --> 00:51:27,680
international space station and today's

651
00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:29,440
mission is no different

652
00:51:33,430 --> 00:51:31,280
we have hardware on board that will

653
00:51:34,870 --> 00:51:33,440
continue the robust science and research

654
00:51:37,270 --> 00:51:34,880
program we have onboard the space

655
00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:37,280
station we also have equipment on board

656
00:51:41,349 --> 00:51:39,200
that will continue the development of

657
00:51:43,589 --> 00:51:41,359
commercialization of low earth orbit

658
00:51:46,309 --> 00:51:43,599
and we have hardware on board that helps

659
00:51:48,470 --> 00:51:46,319
us in exploration it helps us buy down

660
00:51:54,230 --> 00:51:48,480
risk for the artemis program as we

661
00:51:57,750 --> 00:51:55,990
and the northrop grumman flight control

662
00:51:59,910 --> 00:51:57,760
team continues to be busy managing

663
00:52:01,990 --> 00:51:59,920
cygnus's launch today its journey to the

664
00:52:03,750 --> 00:52:02,000
station in the previous cygnus that will

665
00:52:05,589 --> 00:52:03,760
remain in orbit for the next two weeks

666
00:52:07,510 --> 00:52:05,599
serving as a science platform how

667
00:52:09,430 --> 00:52:07,520
impressive is the ability of these

668
00:52:11,109 --> 00:52:09,440
commercial flight control teams to

669
00:52:13,030 --> 00:52:11,119
multi-task in support of station

670
00:52:14,390 --> 00:52:13,040
operations

671
00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:14,400
you know we have a really good

672
00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:16,559
relationship with northrop grumman and

673
00:52:19,829 --> 00:52:18,000
all our domestic partners and

674
00:52:21,990 --> 00:52:19,839
international partners and

675
00:52:22,870 --> 00:52:22,000
and it's a partnership we work together

676
00:52:24,790 --> 00:52:22,880
to

677
00:52:27,750 --> 00:52:24,800
one fulfill the nasa contract that we

678
00:52:29,750 --> 00:52:27,760
have with these companies as well as to

679
00:52:32,390 --> 00:52:29,760
help them meet their company objectives

680
00:52:33,990 --> 00:52:32,400
on board you know for one example is

681
00:52:36,390 --> 00:52:34,000
this mission was scheduled about two

682
00:52:38,230 --> 00:52:36,400
months from now and nasa had the need to

683
00:52:39,910 --> 00:52:38,240
move it up we worked with northrop

684
00:52:42,230 --> 00:52:39,920
grumman team we're able to move it up

685
00:52:44,390 --> 00:52:42,240
into this time frame and what you saw

686
00:52:46,309 --> 00:52:44,400
today was just an awesome launch and a

687
00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:46,319
result of some of that work and an

688
00:52:53,910 --> 00:52:51,990
and no time to rest for the station

689
00:52:55,750 --> 00:52:53,920
program with spacex almost two weeks

690
00:52:57,990 --> 00:52:55,760
from its next cargo run to the station

691
00:53:00,549 --> 00:52:58,000
and a soyuz crew rotation to follow in

692
00:53:02,069 --> 00:53:00,559
the early to mid april time frame as

693
00:53:03,750 --> 00:53:02,079
always how complex will the next few

694
00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:03,760
months be for the station program and

695
00:53:07,190 --> 00:53:05,920
the global partnership

696
00:53:10,390 --> 00:53:07,200
you know this year we're going to

697
00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:10,400
celebrate 20 years of continuing human

698
00:53:13,589 --> 00:53:11,760
presence are born the international

699
00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:13,599
space station and one of the coolest

700
00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:15,359
things about working on space station is

701
00:53:20,230 --> 00:53:17,760
the next two months are always busy

702
00:53:22,870 --> 00:53:20,240
you know following this launch today

703
00:53:24,309 --> 00:53:22,880
we'll have a birthing early next week

704
00:53:26,790 --> 00:53:24,319
looking forward in march we'll have a

705
00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:26,800
spacex cargo mission launching to the

706
00:53:30,309 --> 00:53:28,400
international space station

707
00:53:32,710 --> 00:53:30,319
going april we'll have a soyuz mission

708
00:53:34,710 --> 00:53:32,720
bringing three new crew members and then

709
00:53:36,069 --> 00:53:34,720
mid april soyuz landing bringing through

710
00:53:37,750 --> 00:53:36,079
crew members home

711
00:53:39,430 --> 00:53:37,760
fast forward a few weeks after that

712
00:53:41,030 --> 00:53:39,440
we'll have a japanese cargo mission

713
00:53:42,470 --> 00:53:41,040
bringing critical batteries to the

714
00:53:44,309 --> 00:53:42,480
international space station

715
00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:44,319
that allow us to continue our upgrade of

716
00:53:47,670 --> 00:53:45,920
our power system

717
00:53:50,150 --> 00:53:47,680
in addition to all that we're working

718
00:53:51,829 --> 00:53:50,160
with spacex and boeing to launch crew

719
00:53:53,829 --> 00:53:51,839
members from kennedy space center this

720
00:53:55,430 --> 00:53:53,839
year we plan to have both of those

721
00:53:56,630 --> 00:53:55,440
missions visiting the international

722
00:53:58,950 --> 00:53:56,640
space station

723
00:54:01,510 --> 00:53:58,960
and on top of all that we do our daily

724
00:54:03,589 --> 00:54:01,520
job of the research and science we do on

725
00:54:05,829 --> 00:54:03,599
board the exploration objectives i

726
00:54:07,990 --> 00:54:05,839
talked earlier as well as work to

727
00:54:09,190 --> 00:54:08,000
commercialize low earth orbit so just an

728
00:54:11,030 --> 00:54:09,200
awesome time to be working on the

729
00:54:13,190 --> 00:54:11,040
international space station

730
00:54:16,390 --> 00:54:13,200
and these two months and and the future

731
00:54:17,589 --> 00:54:16,400
two months are always going to be busy

732
00:54:19,190 --> 00:54:17,599
all right joel thanks for your time

749
00:58:34,470 --> 00:58:32,160
about 7 500 pounds of research crew

750
00:58:36,069 --> 00:58:34,480
supplies and hardware at the time of

751
00:58:38,870 --> 00:58:36,079
launch the international space station

752
00:58:40,950 --> 00:58:38,880
was flying 258 statute miles over the

753
00:58:42,870 --> 00:58:40,960
western pacific northeast of the

754
00:58:45,030 --> 00:58:42,880
northern marina islands

755
00:58:46,950 --> 00:58:45,040
solar ray deploy is expected to occur

756
00:58:48,950 --> 00:58:46,960
about an hour and 19 minutes after

757
00:58:51,430 --> 00:58:48,960
launch so within the next hour if all

758
00:58:53,190 --> 00:58:51,440
goes as planned cygnus will complete its

759
00:58:55,109 --> 00:58:53,200
solar array deployment which will take

760
00:58:56,870 --> 00:58:55,119
about 30 minutes and once that activity

761
00:58:59,270 --> 00:58:56,880
is complete we will update the station

webpage on nasa.gov

763
00:59:02,309 --> 00:59:00,799
with cygnus now on its way to the

764
00:59:04,309 --> 00:59:02,319
international space station we hope

765
00:59:06,390 --> 00:59:04,319
you'll join us back on air when cygnus

766
00:59:11,270 --> 00:59:06,400
arrives to the station in the early

767
00:59:14,950 --> 00:59:13,190
nasa's television television coverage

768
00:59:18,150 --> 00:59:14,960
for cygnus arrival and capture will

769
00:59:20,470 --> 00:59:18,160
begin at 1 30 a.m central 2 30 a.m

770
00:59:24,150 --> 00:59:20,480
eastern time for a capture around 305

771
00:59:26,950 --> 00:59:24,160
a.m central 405 a.m eastern then we'll

772
00:59:28,710 --> 00:59:26,960
be back on air at 5 a.m central 6 a.m

773
00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:28,720
eastern for cygnus installation

774
00:59:32,390 --> 00:59:30,480
operations coverage

775
00:59:34,150 --> 00:59:32,400
with cygnus now safely on its way to the

776
00:59:36,710 --> 00:59:34,160
international space station to deliver

777
00:59:38,549 --> 00:59:36,720
about 7 500 pounds of cargo that'll wrap

778
01:00:09,270 --> 00:59:38,559
up our coverage for today this is
