00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:12,080 going to be at 71 00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:24,149 the soyuz performed a successful 72 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:26,159 separation burn one 73 00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:27,599 making it depart faster from the 74 00:03:32,309 --> 00:03:29,519 international space station and now it's 75 00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,319 approaching that 19 mile distance 76 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,560 necessary for it to execute the deorbit 77 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,720 burn that'll slow the soyuz down by 78 00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:39,360 about 128 meters per second allowing it 79 00:04:07,589 --> 00:03:41,599 to drop out of earth's orbit and 80 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:09,429 as the soyuz departed tonight at the 81 00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:12,560 moment of undocking expedition 63 82 00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:14,159 officially began aboard the 83 00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:16,079 international space station with nasa 84 00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:18,720 astronaut chris cassidy as the commander 85 00:04:23,590 --> 00:04:21,040 joined by roscosmos cosmonauts anatoly 86 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,600 ivanishin and ivan wagner this crew 87 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:25,919 having just arrived last week on the 88 00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:28,479 soyuz ms-16 vehicle 89 00:05:24,070 --> 00:04:31,600 they'll they will be aboard until 90 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,909 for a look at how tonight's events will 91 00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:27,520 unfold let's take a look at this 92 00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:29,840 animation earlier we saw the undocking 93 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:32,479 of the spacecraft from the zvezda module 94 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:35,360 at 8 53 pm central time the next thing 95 00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:37,919 is that deorbit burn scheduled for 11 22 96 00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,400 pm central time this evening that burn 97 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:42,560 will last four minutes and 41 seconds 98 00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:44,800 dropping the soyuz out of 99 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,199 orbit and into the earth's atmosphere 100 00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:49,600 at 11 50 the three portions of the soyuz 101 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:51,759 will power technically separate and the 102 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,680 descent module will have its heat shield 103 00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:55,520 forward to the direction of travel 104 00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:56,960 protecting the crew from the heat 105 00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:59,759 buildup reaching about 2500 degrees 106 00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:01,600 fahrenheit outside 107 00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:02,960 once the crew is out of the plasma 108 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,440 regime a series of parachutes will open 109 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,120 first two pilot parachutes and then a 110 00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:09,280 drogue shoot and last the main shoots 111 00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:11,120 that will guide the spacecraft down in a 112 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,029 just about two seconds before the crew 113 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:19,600 touches down on the step of kazakhstan 114 00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:22,560 there will be a soft engine firing 115 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:24,560 slowing it down just a bit more for a 116 00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:29,590 the soyuz will land about 92 miles 117 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:33,840 southeast of the town of jezkasgan 118 00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,440 reduced number of nasa personnel are 119 00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:37,440 supporting landing some who were in 120 00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:39,680 kazakhstan last week to support the 121 00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:41,840 soyuz launch and were joined by a small 122 00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,479 nasa team that flew in on the gulfstream 123 00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:46,400 plane to the city of quizlorda in 124 00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:49,039 central kazakhstan because the airport 125 00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:51,199 in karaganda which is the normal staging 126 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,280 location was closed by kazakhstan 127 00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,880 authorities the russian search and 128 00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:56,639 recovery forces reworked landing 129 00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,880 logistics and decided to stage landing 130 00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,720 operations with helicopters at the 131 00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:02,800 airport in baikonur since they were 132 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:04,800 already there to support launch last 133 00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:07,360 week in event of a contingency 134 00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:10,080 the nasa team has departed baikonur and 135 00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:12,160 actually is in jessica's gun 136 00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:14,479 having departed earlier on helicopters 137 00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:16,160 tonight there will be eight helicopters 138 00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,080 deployed two are dispatched to the 139 00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:20,720 ballistic landing site east of baikonur 140 00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:23,840 and six are in jessica's gone refueling 141 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:25,759 and they'll prepare to depart soon for 142 00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:28,000 the landing site about a 35 minute 143 00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:38,230 and an update those helicopters are 144 00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:40,560 actually already in route to the landing 145 00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:45,589 they'll be arriving in a racetrack 146 00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:47,599 fashion making an oval around the 147 00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:48,960 landing site and then landing 148 00:07:59,350 --> 00:07:57,270 two antonov fixed wing aircraft are 149 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:59,360 employed one is in the area of the 150 00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:01,039 ballistic site and the other as we 151 00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:03,280 mentioned earlier is already on route 152 00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:05,280 from baikonur to the landing site it 153 00:08:09,270 --> 00:08:07,039 will serve as sort of a command and 154 00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,280 control center between the spacecraft 155 00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:10,879 back to russian mission control 156 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,360 personnel that'll relay voice and data 157 00:08:18,469 --> 00:08:15,919 from the soyuz to the flight controllers 158 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,479 at their mission control center 159 00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:20,639 and it'll be able to pick up that data 160 00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:28,629 after landing the crew will return by 161 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:30,879 russian helicopters to the recovery 162 00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:32,880 staging city in baikonur which is about 163 00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:34,959 a two and a half hour flight and this is 164 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:37,120 where the crew will split up after six 165 00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:39,039 months in orbit together 166 00:08:42,389 --> 00:08:40,560 the nasa crew will move to ground 167 00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:42,399 transportation for about a three hour 168 00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:44,560 ride to the airport in kiss florida 169 00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,240 where they will board a nasa plane 170 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:48,240 located there for a flight back to 171 00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:50,240 ellington field in houston 172 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,399 skripocha will stay in baikonur where he 173 00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:54,399 will board a gagarin cosmonaut training 174 00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,320 center or gctc 175 00:09:03,590 --> 00:08:58,800 aircraft in baikonur to return to his 176 00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:05,269 we're expecting good weather for landing 177 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:07,760 today at about 61 degrees fahrenheit 178 00:09:12,949 --> 00:09:10,320 with clear skies and some winds from the 179 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,959 southeast a nice welcome home for this 180 00:09:28,949 --> 00:09:14,640 crew that has spent so much time in 181 00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:30,949 yesterday jessica muir spoke about the 182 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:33,200 extensive measures nasa has taken to 183 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,200 ensure the safety of the landing team 184 00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:37,600 and of course the crew listen in to 185 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:39,279 learn a little bit more about all the 186 00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:41,920 preparations for their return trip to 187 00:09:50,150 --> 00:09:47,990 yeah this situation has dramatically 188 00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:50,160 affected our plans nasa has done an 189 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:51,920 incredible job our support people on the 190 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:53,360 ground have been working very hard to 191 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:55,600 figure out even how to come pick us up 192 00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,519 so as you know we launch in the soyuz 193 00:10:02,150 --> 00:09:59,839 spacecraft from baikonur in kazakhstan 194 00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,160 and we land in kazakhstan as well so 195 00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,480 normally what happens is a nasa aircraft 196 00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:06,160 comes over to pick us up and gets us 197 00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:08,640 back to houston within 24 hours but of 198 00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:10,560 course even getting that nasa aircraft 199 00:10:14,230 --> 00:10:12,079 over there with all the international 200 00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:14,240 stops involved has been quite in an 201 00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:16,880 effort and we're taking a different path 202 00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,320 it's going to be kind of like a planes 203 00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:20,160 trains and automobile scenario where i 204 00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:21,680 think we're going to even end up riding 205 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,519 in an ambulance for several hours across 206 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:25,200 the kazakhstan in order to get to our 207 00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:26,880 airplane so it'll be a little bit 208 00:10:30,389 --> 00:10:28,640 different than normal but this is the 209 00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:30,399 first time landing for both me and my 210 00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,920 and my crewmate drew morgan so we don't 211 00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:33,279 really have anything to compare it to 212 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,440 it'll just be the way that it is for us 213 00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:37,680 once we get home normally we have you 214 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:39,440 know a little bit of a quarantine period 215 00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:41,120 which is has been a little bit soft in 216 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,720 the past in terms of we can still kind 217 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:44,880 of go about our daily routine but 218 00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:46,959 because one of the hallmarks of space 219 00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:48,800 flight physiologically is actually a 220 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,959 dysregulation of our immune system we 221 00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:52,640 actually can come back potentially a bit 222 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,800 immuno compromise so of course that 223 00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:56,399 makes everybody at nasa concerned and 224 00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:58,079 they want to make sure that they keep us 225 00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:00,000 safe and healthy so we'll have a more 226 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,680 strict quarantine this time where we'll 227 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:03,600 be actually staying and living at nasa 228 00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:05,920 for at least a week after we land with 229 00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:08,079 very limited access to make sure that uh 230 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:13,910 nasa astronaut andrew morgan actually 231 00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:17,120 launched on july 20th 2019 the 50th 232 00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:19,440 anniversary of the apollo 11 lunar 233 00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:22,959 landing today he jessica meer and alex 234 00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:25,200 grapochka land 50 years to the day of 235 00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:29,279 the apollo 13 safe landing in 1970 50 236 00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:31,200 years ago the crisis was in space as 237 00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:32,640 flight controllers worked to bring the 238 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:35,120 apollo 13 crew safely home 239 00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:36,800 50 years later things are a little more 240 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,640 difficult on this side of the atmosphere 241 00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:41,279 as we navigate life during a pandemic in 242 00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:43,120 both circumstances we are united 243 00:12:02,310 --> 00:11:45,839 worldwide as we work to move forward to 244 00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:03,829 we're about 10 minutes away from that 245 00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:07,279 deorbit burn a four minute and 41 second 246 00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:09,680 burn that will bring the soyuz slowing 247 00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:12,800 it down by 128 meters per second that's 248 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:14,480 enough to drop it out of the earth's 249 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:16,079 atmosph or out of the earth's orbit 250 00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,399 which is exactly what we want tonight to 251 00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:20,160 bring it home safely to the step of 252 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,310 at the time of the deorbit burn the 253 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,880 soyuz will be about 32 kilometers or 19 254 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:40,800 miles away from the international space 255 00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:42,880 station 256 00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:44,480 about five minutes after that do orbit 257 00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:46,720 burn is completed the orbital module the 258 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:49,600 bulbous portion on top of the 259 00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:51,360 the descent module where the crew is 260 00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:54,000 seated will be depressurized to vacuum 261 00:13:02,629 --> 00:12:55,360 that sets up the systems for the 262 00:13:06,069 --> 00:13:03,990 once the modules power technically 263 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:06,079 separate that orbital module will depart 264 00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:08,480 at 0.82 meters per second and the 265 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,079 propulsion module at the bottom will 266 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:12,480 depart at 0.58 meters per second leaving 267 00:13:16,949 --> 00:13:15,200 the descent module and the crew inside 268 00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:16,959 with their heat shield exposed in the 269 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:23,190 that's important to note because the 270 00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:25,279 temperatures around the descent module 271 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:27,839 will build up to about 2 500 degrees 272 00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:29,120 fahrenheit 273 00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:30,240 the heat shield will protect the 274 00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:33,360 astronauts inside as they enter that 275 00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:36,000 plasma regime 276 00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:37,600 at that time it's expected that we won't 277 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:39,600 have any communications with the soyuz 278 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:42,000 crew but those should be restored upon 279 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,560 exit once the spacecraft is in range of 280 00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:46,480 the antonov aircraft 281 00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:48,079 you'll hear a beacon signal once that 282 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:49,920 occurs just before the parachute 283 00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:52,320 deployment and about 15 minutes prior to 284 00:14:02,069 --> 00:14:00,230 the command to open the shoots should 285 00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:02,079 come about two minutes after midnight 286 00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:04,880 when the soyuz is at an altitude of 6.5 287 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:16,949 that command is triggered by a 288 00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:18,560 barometric pressure sensor at an 289 00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:21,040 altitude of 41 000 feet 290 00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,040 two pilot parachutes are first deployed 291 00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:25,519 the second of which extracts the drogue 292 00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:27,440 chute the drogue shoot is then released 293 00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:29,839 and that measures about 24 square meters 294 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:32,240 slowing down the soyuz from a descent 295 00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:35,440 rate of 230 meters a second down to 80 296 00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:37,440 meters a second 297 00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:39,279 the main parachute is then released 298 00:14:44,629 --> 00:14:42,000 covering an area of 1 000 meters a 299 00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:44,639 massive parachute it allows the soyuz to 300 00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:47,760 slow to a descent rate of 7.2 meters per 301 00:14:51,839 --> 00:14:59,820 oxygen 302 00:14:59,830 --> 00:15:05,430 [Music] 303 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:14,310 s9 commands 304 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:16,230 we'll be coming up on that deorbit burn 305 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,120 at 11 22 pm central time 306 00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:21,120 a little bit more about the crew until 307 00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:23,120 then uh as we mentioned drew morgan is 308 00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:26,079 actually wrapping up a 272-day mission 309 00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:27,760 aboard the international space station 310 00:15:31,829 -->

00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:51,120 retrograde firing lasting four minutes 365 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:53,520 and 41 seconds this will slow down the 366 00:22:59,029 --> 00:22:56,480 soyuz spacecraft by 128 meters per 367 00:23:03,990 --> 00:22:59,039 second allowing it to drop out of orbit 368 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:17,750 0 45 and i confirm escada 369 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:20,230 and we confirmed that 370 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:28,870 delta v was 14.8 371 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,430 and 372 00:23:51,440 --> 00:24:20,870 we've used up 0-62 373 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:41,190 we copy 374 00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:43,350 two minutes into the deorbit burn about 375 00:24:54,390 --> 00:24:50,470 i confirm um 376 00:25:17,830 --> 00:24:56,070 delta v notable 377 00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:19,990 delta v 0 46 378 00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:45,830 the orbit burn continues and the crew is 379 00:26:21,990 --> 00:25:47,840 now committed to entry of the earth's 380 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,029 0.47 381 00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:28,950 we copy 382 00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:30,870 the commander reporting down to russian 383 00:26:34,710 --> 00:26:32,400 mission control the amount of fuel that 384 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:34,720 has been used so far for the orbit burn 385 00:26:45,110 --> 00:26:41,750 four minutes into the orbit burn there 386 00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:45,120 will be 41 seconds left 387 00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:48,559 used up 251 kilograms of propellant burn 388 00:27:18,789 --> 00:26:52,559 is 110 and delta forty seven we got be 389 00:27:26,070 --> 00:27:22,070 we confirm gekka thrust the firing 390 00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:26,080 propellants used at 283 burn 125 delta v 391 00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:28,960 is 0 47. we copy all 392 00:27:33,750 --> 00:27:31,440 and at 11 27 pm central time that 393 00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:33,760 deorbit burn is complete the crew is 394 00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:36,000 committed to deorbiting and entering 395 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:37,760 earth's atmosphere 396 00:27:41,590 --> 00:27:39,600 about five minutes from now the orbital 397 00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:41,600 module the bulmas module on top of the 398 00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:44,080 soyuz will be depressurized to vacuum 399 00:27:50,549 --> 00:27:46,159 preparing for the pyrotechnic separation 400 00:28:03,190 --> 00:27:53,110 and we confirm separation here 401 00:28:07,110 --> 00:28:04,789 and with that five minutes from the 402 00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:07,120 start of the burn the d orbital or the 403 00:28:36,789 --> 00:28:09,440 orbital module has been depressurized to 404 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,230 with the orbit burn complete and 405 00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:40,720 depressurization of the orbital module 406 00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:42,640 the next step for soyuz will be the 407 00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:44,880 separation of the modules 408 00:28:50,470 --> 00:28:48,240 that will be at 11 50 pm central time 409 00:28:52,470 --> 00:28:50,480 the orbital module will depart at eight 410 00:28:54,789 --> 00:28:52,480 at 0.82 meters per second and the 411 00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:54,799 propulsion module will depart at 0.58 412 00:28:58,950 --> 00:28:57,120 meters per second leaving behind only 413 00:29:07,029 --> 00:28:58,960 the descent module in which the crew is 414 00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:16,549 please 415 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:19,830 that needs to be done at -6 416 00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:21,840 please make sure that 417 00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:25,360 your c's are primed 418 00:29:29,029 --> 00:29:26,960 almost three minutes after the 419 00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:29,039 separation of the modules the crew will 420 00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:31,279 begin to feel the first pulls of gravity 421 00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:33,840 during the entry interface the first 422 00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:35,760 time that andrew morgan will have felt 423 00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:38,000 gravity in almost nine months 424 00:29:43,269 --> 00:29:41,120 and six months for nasa astronaut 425 00:30:01,510 --> 00:29:43,279 jessica muir and rose cosmos cosmonaut 426 00:30:05,350 --> 00:30:03,110 just about 20 minutes from that 427 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:05,360 separation of the soyuz modules 428 00:30:11,669 --> 00:30:07,600 everything moving as planned for an 429 00:32:12,070 --> 00:30:11,679 on-time landing at 12 16 a.m april 17th 430 00:32:17,909 --> 00:32:15,509 the returnings will use ms-15 crew of 431 00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:17,919 nasa astronaut jessica mir is in the 432 00:32:22,470 --> 00:32:20,559 left seat of the soyuz descent module 433 00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:22,480 she's board engineer one serving as the 434 00:32:26,950 --> 00:32:25,120 backup to olegs grapochka the soyuz 435 00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:26,960 commander in the middle seat 436 00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:28,559 and on his right side 437 00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:32,880 drew morgan who just spent 272 days in 438 00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:34,880 space in the right seat as board 439 00:32:41,990 --> 00:32:39,909 meanwhile on the ground 440 00:32:43,350 --> 00:32:42,000 nasa and russian search and recovery 441 00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:43,360 forces are 442 00:32:48,149 --> 00:32:45,760 in the air aboard the russian mi8 443 00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:48,159 helicopters on the way from jessica's 444 00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:51,279 gone to the landing site about 92 miles 445 00:32:54,789 --> 00:32:53,679 away that's about a 35 minute flight and 446 00:32:57,029 --> 00:32:54,799 they will 447 00:33:00,149 --> 00:32:57,039 circle the landing site in a racetrack 448 00:33:22,149 --> 00:33:00,159 fashion awaiting for the arrival of the 449 00:33:27,190 --> 00:33:23,830 next milestone for soyuz will be that 450 00:33:31,269 --> 00:33:28,710 and following that they'll hit the first 451 00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:31,279 traces of the earth's atmosphere about 452 00:33:35,590 --> 00:33:33,519 three minutes later they'll then enter 453 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:35,600 the plasma regime which lasts about five 454 00:33:40,389 --> 00:33:37,440 minutes when the temperatures around the 455 00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:40,399 soyuz spacecraft build to about 2500 456 00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:42,320 degrees fahrenheit 457 00:33:46,389 --> 00:33:44,240 this is that time that we expect to lose 458 00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:46,399 communication between the 459 00:33:51,269 --> 00:33:48,080 soyuz and 460 00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:53,509 but those will be restored upon the exit 461 00:33:57,830 --> 00:33:55,200 of the plasma regime when the soyuz 462 00:34:00,950 --> 00:33:57,840 spacecraft is in range of that antonov 463 00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:00,960 26 aircraft on its way to the landing 464 00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:50,869 oh 465 00:34:55,349 --> 00:34:53,990 is zero and descent module pressure is 466 00:34:59,510 --> 00:34:55,359 stable 467 00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:01,349 everything moving along as planned for 468 00:36:55,030 --> 00:35:03,920 soyuz tonight about 15 minutes until 469 00:36:59,270 --> 00:36:57,109 you're looking at a live view of the 470 00:37:01,510 --> 00:36:59,280 russian mission control center in korea 471 00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:01,520 a town just outside of moscow where 472 00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:03,040 teams are in communication with the 473 00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:04,400 soyuz crew 474 00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:06,640 you may hear this team report refer to 475 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:09,760 the soyuz ms-15s sarmat that's the call 476 00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:11,760 sign that all excre pochko the commander 477 00:37:47,109 --> 00:37:45,109 it's been about 10 minutes since the 478 00:37:49,589 --> 00:37:47,119 successful completion of that deorbit 479 00:38:20,550 --> 00:37:49,599 burn and we're looking about 40 minutes 480 00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:21,910 landing of the crew tonight will look a 481 00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:23,920 little bit different as it is usually 482 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:27,599 staged out of the uh karaganda location 483 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:29,040 that airport has been closed by 484 00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:31,680 kazakhstan authorities and so the 485 00:38:35,829 --> 00:38:34,240 landing is being staged out of baikonur 486 00:38:37,670 --> 00:38:35,839 that's uh 487 00:38:40,950 --> 00:38:37,680 about a two and a half hour helicopter 488 00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:40,960 flight from the landing site 489 00:38:44,710 --> 00:38:42,640 after landing the crew will return by 490 00:38:47,829 --> 00:38:44,720 russian helicopters to that staging city 491 00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:47,839 of baikonur and then we'll split up 492 00:38:53,430 --> 00:38:50,800 the nasa crew will move in a three-hour 493 00:38:54,630 --> 00:38:53,440 ride on the ground to the airport in his 494 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:54,640 lord 495 00:38:58,710 --> 00:38:56,640 where they will depart 496 00:39:00,550 --> 00:38:58,720 for ellington field in houston aboard a 497 00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:00,560 gulfstream aircraft 498 00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:02,400 meanwhile 499 00:39:06,790 --> 00:39:04,960 uh oleg skripal board of gagarin 500 00:40:12,069 --> 00:39:06,800 cosmonaut training center aircraft in 501 00:40:16,309 --> 00:40:13,910 we're about 10 minutes away from module 502 00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:16,319 separation things will start moving very 503 00:40:20,870 --> 00:40:18,960 quickly for the soyuz crew after that 504 00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:20,880 at 11 53 505 00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:23,520 we they will hit the first traces of 506 00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:26,000 earth's atmosphere and then two minutes 507 00:40:37,589 --> 00:40:35,270 that plasma regime is when we expect to 508 00:40:41,190 --> 00:40:37,599 lose communications with the crew 509 00:40:44,550 --> 00:40:41,200 and then they'll exit that regime at 12 510 00:40:47,190 --> 00:40:44,560 at midnight uh central time experiencing 511 00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:47,200 about four to five g's at that time 512 00:40:50,829 --> 00:40:48,960 that's the maximum g loads the crew 513 00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:50,839 should feel during their return to earth 514 00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:53,520 tonight two minutes after midnight the 515 00:40:58,390 --> 00:40:55,920 command to open the parachutes will 516 00:41:00,710 --> 00:40:58,400 begin we'll first see those two pilot 517 00:41:03,109 --> 00:41:00,720 parachutes the second of which extracts 518 00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:03,119 the drogue chute the drill shoot is then 519 00:41:07,910 --> 00:41:05,680 released and that 520 00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:07,920 extracts the main parachute covering an 521 00:41:13,829 --> 00:41:10,880 area of 1000 meters that'll slow the 522 00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:13,839 soyuz to a descent rate of 7.2 meters 523 00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:26,470 just about two seconds before soyuz 524 00:41:31,589 --> 00:41:28,800 touches down its soft landing engines 525 00:41:34,069 --> 00:41:31,599 will fire that's six inches engines to 526 00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:34,079 slow the soyuz descent rate to 1.5 527 00:41:45,270 --> 00:41:44,230 once again landing is scheduled for 12 528 00:41:49,349 --> 00:41:45,280 16 529

11 55 pm central time they will enter 596 00:54:36,549 --> 00:54:35,119 the plasma regime 597 00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:36,559 this is when the temperatures will build 598 00:54:41,349 --> 00:54:39,119 to about 2 500 degrees fahrenheit 599 00:54:43,190 --> 00:54:41,359 outside of the capsule but the heat 600 00:54:54,950 --> 00:54:43,200 shield is protecting the astronauts and 601 00:54:59,349 --> 00:54:57,670 upon the exit from the plasma regime 602 00:55:01,109 --> 00:54:59,359 the soyuz will have the opportunity to 603 00:55:03,910 --> 00:55:01,119 restore its communication once it's in 604 00:55:05,589 --> 00:55:03,920 the range of the antonov aircraft 605 00:55:07,190 --> 00:55:05,599 we'll be looking to hear a beacon signal 606 00:55:08,630 --> 00:55:07,200 once that occurs 607 00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:08,640 that'll be just before the parachute 608 00:55:46,630 --> 00:55:10,400 deployment scheduled for two minutes 609 00:55:50,950 --> 00:55:49,270 the soyuz is now in that plasma regime 610 00:55:52,870 --> 00:55:50,960 this should last about five minutes and 611 00:55:55,190 --> 00:55:52,880 the astronauts are feeling the maximum g 612 00:56:00,309 --> 00:55:55,200 loads of four to five g's the most they 613 00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:02,390 meanwhile on the ground the mi8 614 00:56:07,670 --> 00:56:04,480 helicopters and the nasa and russian 615 00:56:35,829 --> 00:56:07,680 crews are awaiting the spacecraft to 616 00:56:40,710 --> 00:56:37,910 the soyuz spacecraft is now only about 617 00:56:43,190 --> 00:56:40,720 20 minutes from landing scheduled for 12 618 00:56:45,270 --> 00:56:43,200 16 a.m central time 619 00:58:09,430 --> 00:56:45,280 on the steps of kazakhstan about 92 620 00:59:54,470 --> 00:58:11,829 about two minutes until the crew exits 621 00:59:58,710 --> 00:59:56,549 and just moments away from the exit from 622 01:00:00,470 --> 00:59:58,720 the plasma regime for the crew and the 623 01:00:27,349 --> 01:00:00,480 end of the maximum g loads they will 624 01:00:30,870 --> 01:00:29,109 the crew should now be out of the plasma 625 01:00:33,030 --> 01:00:30,880 regime and the next step for the soyuz 626 01:00:36,069 --> 01:00:33,040 is to open those parachutes that should 627 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:36,079 happen at about 1202 and 12 seconds 628 01:00:42,370 --> 01:00:47,030 [Music] 629 01:00:50,789 --> 01:00:48,870 and we've regained communications with 630 01:00:57,270 --> 01:00:50,799 the crew they have reported that they 631 01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:06,470 [Music] 632 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:11,910 unintelligible 633 01:01:17,349 --> 01:01:14,710 those data and flight voice being 634 01:01:19,990 --> 01:01:17,359 relayed from the antonov fixed wing 635 01:01:21,750 --> 01:01:20,000 aircraft flying near the landing site in 636 01:01:24,309 --> 01:01:21,760 about one minute soyuz will open its 637 01:02:24,870 --> 01:01:24,319 parachutes and we are currently about 15 638 01:02:28,150 --> 01:02:26,710 and the command to open the parachutes 639 01:02:30,390 --> 01:02:28,160 on the soyuz should be coming right 640 01:02:45,109 --> 01:02:30,400 about now as it is 6.5 641 01:02:49,109 --> 01:02:46,630 the first of those parachutes will be 642 01:02:52,789 --> 01:02:49,119 two pilot parachutes the second of which 643 01:02:56,870 --> 01:02:54,309 the drogue chute is then released which 644 01:02:59,109 --> 01:02:56,880 measures 24 square meters that'll slow 645 01:03:01,990 --> 01:02:59,119 the soyuz down from a descent rate of 646 01:03:13,109 --> 01:03:02,000 230 meters per second to just 80 meters 647 01:03:17,109 --> 01:03:14,789 after the drogue chute is released the 648 01:03:19,910 --> 01:03:17,119 main parachute will be released covering 649 01:03:23,109 --> 01:03:19,920 an area of 1 000 meters that slows the 650 01:03:27,829 --> 01:03:23,119 soyuz to a descent rate of 7.2 meters 651 01:03:31,990 --> 01:03:29,589 the harnesses on the main parachute will 652 01:03:34,789 --> 01:03:32,000 first allow the soyuz to descend at an 653 01:03:37,109 --> 01:03:34,799 angle of 30 degrees to expel heat it 654 01:03:55,670 --> 01:03:37,119 will then shift the soyuz to a straight 655 01:04:00,630 --> 01:03:58,789 about 21 325 feet above the earth a 656 01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:00,640 barometric pressure sensor starts a 657 01:04:26,630 --> 01:04:02,880 timer triggering most of the remaining 658 01:04:29,750 --> 01:04:28,390 only 12 minutes away from a scheduled 659 01:04:32,230 --> 01:04:29,760 landing 660 01:04:34,789 --> 01:04:32,240 under a clear blue sky for the soyuz 661 01:04:39,270 --> 01:04:36,549 we would typically be seeing something 662 01:04:40,390 --> 01:04:39,280 called venting all the valves will be 663 01:04:42,390 --> 01:04:40,400 vented to 664 01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:42,400 or will be open to vent the hydrogen 665 01:04:48,069 --> 01:04:45,359 peroxide or h2o2 fuel for the entry 666 01:04:50,710 --> 01:04:48,079 control thrusters and the oxygen in the 667 01:04:52,630 --> 01:04:50,720 life support system tank due to this a 668 01:04:54,630 --> 01:04:52,640 white vapor is emitted that's a 669 01:04:58,150 --> 01:04:54,640 combination of the hydrogen peroxide and 670 01:05:00,470 --> 01:04:58,160 oxygen venting into the air 671 01:05:01,990 --> 01:05:00,480 that is intended to safe the vehicle for 672 01:05:04,150 --> 01:05:02,000 landing so there aren't any hazardous 673 01:05:06,710 --> 01:05:04,160 gases remaining in the tanks when those 674 01:05:46,390 --> 01:05:06,720 soft landing thrusters fire just about 675 01:05:49,430 --> 01:05:47,829 surgeon recovery teams are in 676 01:05:51,270 --> 01:05:49,440 communication with the soyuz crew and 677 01:06:54,549 --> 01:05:51,280 they continue to be feeling well
