00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:54,629
today's launch is marking the second

116
00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,720
flight into space for nasa astronaut

00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:58,560
mark vande high this is going to be the

118
00:05:03,189 --> 00:05:01,919

121
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:07,680
space flight for the ms-18 commander and

122
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,120
russian cosmonaut oleg novitskiy

123
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,120
this expedition also going to be

00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:15,759
celebrating the anniversary of a very

125
00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:18,320
important milestone in human space

127
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:28,560

128
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:32,320
on april 12 1961 jurgy garan became the

129
00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:34,880
first human to make that slow trek to

130
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:37,440
the top end of a rocket bound to hurl

131
00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:39,280
him into the heavens and into the

132
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:42,080
distant frontier of space and it was a

136
00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:11,520
riding on technology still in its

137
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,440
nascent stages until this point

138
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:15,680
developed in the throes of conflict yuri

139
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:18,560
took to the skies ascending into orbit

140
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:22,260
for 108 minutes of history

141
00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:27,510
and then after hurtling back through the

142
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:30,160
earth's atmosphere yuri ejected from his

143
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,319
space harbinger and parachuted down to

144
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:34,400
the kazakh steppe

145
00:06:39,189 --> 00:06:36,720
at that moment he was transformed into a

146
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:39,199
hero for the soviet union and the

147
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:41,759
forerunner for humans kinds ventures

148
00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:47,749

00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:49,759
those that look to slip the bonds of

150
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,000
gravity and reach beyond a terrestrial

151
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:54,400
home will forever revere what he

152
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:07,510
for once again yuri was the first

153
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:10,710
the expedition 65 cruise soyuz launch is

154
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:12,400
going to honor the anniversary of

155
00:07:15,830 --> 00:07:14,000
gagarin's historic flight with the

00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:17,360
their launch vehicle

158
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:20,720
the design of the soyuz ms-18 patch

159
00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:23,280
incorporates a banner depicting

160
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,560
the years 1961 and 2021 flanking the

00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:29,039

164
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:40,160
but right now on board the soyuz today

165
00:07:44,309 --> 00:07:42,639
is a nasa astronaut he's making a second

166
00:07:46,390 --> 00:07:44,319
long duration flight to the space

167
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:46,400
station so let's kick things off by

168
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:48,639
learning a little bit more about mark

169
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:56,629
[Music]

170
00:07:59,909 --> 00:07:57,440
so

171
00:08:01,830 --> 00:07:59,919
arriving at the space station

172
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:01,840
something i'll never forget is looking

173
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:03,440
over my left shoulder out the window in

174
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:06,400
the soyuz where it was either a view of

175
00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,960
the earth or blackness of space

176
00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:10,639
and then all of a sudden i could see a

177
00:08:13,830 --> 00:08:12,479
solar array getting chills even thinking

178
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:13,840
about it right now it was this beautiful

179
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,960
gold

180
00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:16,240
massive i mean

181
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:18,639
you don't ever train and see a solar

182
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:21,199
array at full scale here and so there it

183
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:22,879
was and the russian commander sitting to

184
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:23,840
my right

185
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:25,520
i had to really pay close attention and

186
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:27,360
i was supposed to be too but as soon as

187
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:29,039
i saw the solarize i broke the silence

188
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:31,520
and said wow and he was like

189
00:08:35,620 --> 00:08:32,320
so

190
00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:35,630
excited

191
00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:42,719
[Music]

192
00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:44,159
the freedom of motion inside of the

193
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:46,320
space station is huge

194
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:48,160
and then working was busy it was

195
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:50,640
definitely very busy i got up there when

196
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:52,000
a spacex

197
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:54,880
dragon spacecraft is docked just because

198
00:08:58,389 --> 00:08:56,880
there's a lot of science that requires

199
00:09:00,870 --> 00:08:58,399
return and things have to be done in a

200
00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:00,880
very specific timeline it was very

201
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:02,959
fast-paced immediately

202
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:04,880
and the space station is very unique

203
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:06,000
because

204
00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,320
on the space station orbit is really a

205
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:10,240
continuous freefall

206
00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:11,440
and because of that you can have some

207
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:13,519
very unstable structures that might not

208
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:15,680
be able to stay together if you're on

209
00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,600
the ground they can stay together on the

210
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:19,680
space station flames behave differently

211
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:21,440
because combustion on the ground

212
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:24,080
requires drawing in all these rich gases

213
00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:26,000
into the flame because the hot

214
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:27,839
combustion gases go up and away but

215
00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:29,120
there's no up and away on the space

216
00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:30,720
station all directions are equal as far

217
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:32,399
as that's concerned so that behaves

218
00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:34,160
differently there's all kinds of

219
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:35,920
different phenomena that we can

220
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:37,120
experiment with that's why it's a

221
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:39,120
wonderful laboratory many many different

222
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:40,560
experiments some of those experiments

223
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:43,040
actually have to do with us as the test

224
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:44,399
subjects because we're trying to

225
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:45,920
understand how to have people safely

226
00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:47,680
travel for longer and longer distances

227
00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:49,279
too that's just a sub part of all the

228
00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:50,880
science we're doing on the space station

229
00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:52,320
some people have talked about at some

230
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:54,959
point in the expedition feeling like

231
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:56,560
it's time to go home but for me there

232
00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:58,640
was always another spacewalk or another

233
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,320
vehicle capture that was coming up so it

234
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:02,320
always felt like suddenly i was going

235
00:10:10,450 --> 00:10:09,110
i'm mark vandehei and i'm a nasa

236
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:10,460
astronaut

237
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:21,750
and mark is just one of the three flying

238
00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:24,320
into space today so now let's dive in

239
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,470
born in virginia then raised in new

240
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:33,200

and just a reminder a little bit later

338
00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:42,959
in the program we'll be taking your

339
00:14:48,069 --> 00:14:45,839
questions so hop over to twitter use the

340
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:48,079
hashtag ask nasa and keep sending those

341
00:14:58,550 --> 00:14:50,160
in

342
00:15:01,030 --> 00:14:58,560
star city russia the commander oleg

343
00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:01,040
novitskiy was able to describe his

344
00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:02,160
inspiration

345
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:04,000
for the selection of the crew zero g

346
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:10,870
for the weightlessness indicator i do

347
00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:13,680
have it with me this is one of the

348
00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:15,839
heroes of our nice

349
00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:17,120
cartoon

350
00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:19,839
kitten gaff

351
00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:22,000
yes it is him

352
00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:23,760
especially this year i believe has been

353
00:15:29,509 --> 00:15:27,839
40 years since this cartoon came out

354
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:29,519
and the

355
00:15:38,829 --> 00:15:32,560
story is that the puppy is waiting at

356
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:42,470
space and here's a closer look at gav or

357
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:45,120
woof the kitten star of the

358
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:48,160
russian animated series made from 1976

359
00:15:53,269 --> 00:15:51,199
to 1982 about a siamese kitten and you

360
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:53,279
will see that floating

361
00:15:57,509 --> 00:15:55,360
just in front of

362
00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:57,519
the commander's chair right in front of

363
00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:59,519
oleg and we'll see that float once they

364
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:01,120
separate from the third stage of the

365
00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:10,150
but continuing to get views inside the

366
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:12,160
capsule and of the

367
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:14,160
soyuz rocket on the launch pad there in

368
00:16:18,949 --> 00:16:16,240
baikonur we're going to continue to

369
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:18,959
check in on mark vande hi oleg novitskiy

370
00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:20,880
and pyotr duprov as they get ready to

371
00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:23,279
launch the international space station

372
00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:26,320
and right now we are 41 minutes and 30

373
00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:28,240
seconds away

374
00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:30,480
launch is time to take place at exactly

375
00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:35,120
242 and 41 seconds central at 7 42 and

376
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:39,120
41 seconds gmt for 12 42 and 41 seconds

377
00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:41,279
over in baikonur

378
00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:43,040
and as i said we're going to be

379
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:46,000
answering some of your questions so

380
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:48,240
let's go ahead and start taking a couple

381
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:49,920
of those now and you can keep sending

382
00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:53,920
them in using the hashtag ask nasa

383
00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:56,800
our first one comes from kate who wanted

384
00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:59,279
to know how long can the station provide

385
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:00,720
life support

386
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:03,920
to more than seven astronauts at once

387
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:06,240
that's a really great question kate we

388
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:10,160
don't have a specific amount of time

389
00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:12,400
this is going to be a handover with 10

390
00:17:16,150 --> 00:17:14,559
people on board so that does put a

391
00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:16,160
little bit more of a strain on your

392
00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:18,640
resources but thankfully we have what we

393
00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:21,039
call regenerative life support so we're

394
00:17:23,429 --> 00:17:22,079
able to

395
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,439
recycle

396
00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:25,600
a lot of the oxygen we actually generate

397
00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:26,880
oxygen

398
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:28,559
from water which we have more than

399
00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:30,720
enough on on board the space station and

400
00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:32,720
then you have other life support

401
00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:35,280
responsible for scrubbing carbon dioxide

402
00:17:40,789 --> 00:17:38,080
and also providing drinking water and we

403
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:40,799
have enough food and other consumables

404
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:43,520
on board to last for several months and

405
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,640
so

406
00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,200
more than enough on board to to keep

407
00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:49,360
these 10 crew members going for a couple

408
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:51,919
of days and also we'll have plenty when

409
00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:54,640
we do the crew 2 crew 1 handover where

410
00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:57,039
we'll bump all the way up to 11 on board

411
00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,120
for a couple of days

412
00:18:02,789 --> 00:18:01,919
uh our next question comes from whitney

413
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:02,799
who

414
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:04,640
said silly question but wanted to know

415
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:06,720
how many flight suits do they give you

416
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:08,640
and you ever actually use all of those

417
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,280
pockets happy launch day

418
00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:13,360
it's gonna differ for the astronauts

419
00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:15,280
they do get a couple just in case any

420
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:17,520
get damaged or dirty

421
00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:19,600
and i will tell you from personal

422
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:21,039
experience you do end up using a lot of

423
00:18:25,110 --> 00:18:23,200
those pockets you also end up forgetting

424
00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:25,120
stuff in those pockets only to find it

425
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:26,880
several months later when you put the

426
00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:29,200
flight suit back on

427
00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,559
all right and we'll do one more

428
00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:34,640
at least one more this one uh from

429
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:36,720
chrissy who wanted to know what will the

430
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:39,520
sleeping arrangements be on the station

431
00:18:42,549 --> 00:18:41,520
with 10 people and we get this question

432
00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:42,559
a lot

433
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:45,600
um so right now we have seven crew

434
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:48,400
quarters uh kind of the individual sleep

435
00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,160
stations for crew members on board the

436
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:52,480
space station we just installed a new

437
00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:54,240
one just this week inside of the

438
00:18:59,350 --> 00:18:57,919
columbus module so with the extra three

439
00:19:01,350 --> 00:18:59,360
they do what's essentially called a

440
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:01,360
campout they find

441
00:19:05,669 --> 00:19:03,520
space in the different modules where

442
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:05,679
they'll set up a temporary spot where

443
00:19:08,950 --> 00:19:07,440
they can attach their sleeping bag to

444
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:08,960
the wall

445
00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:11,360
and they just kind of camp out there for

446
00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:13,520
a couple of days the crew on board works

447
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:14,880
with flight controllers here on the

448
00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:17,280
ground to pick those spots um to give

449
00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:18,960
the astronauts as much privacy as

450
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:20,320
possible when they don't have their own

451
00:19:26,950 --> 00:19:24,400
crew quarters and it is just temporary

452
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:26,960
um our next one comes from alejandro

453
00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:28,320
wants to know how much gravity the

454
00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,240
astronauts have during takeoffs how many

455
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:32,559
g's are they pulling with the soyuz it's

456
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,440
a fairly benign ride up hill

457
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:37,600
they'll pull about three or four g's at

458
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,480
a maximum on the on the way up

459
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:42,480
primarily once they're under the power

460
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:43,280
of

461
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:45,360
that second and third stage

462
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:48,080
um so not too bad they typically pull a

463
00:19:53,029 --> 00:19:50,080
little bit more on the way home but the

464
00:19:55,669 --> 00:19:53,039
ride up pretty smooth with those liquid

465
00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:55,679
fuel boosters powering them up the whole

466
00:19:58,870 --> 00:19:57,200
way

467
00:20:02,549 --> 00:19:58,880
and we'll go ahead and take

468
00:20:03,990 --> 00:20:02,559
one more this one from get well wiccans

469
00:20:06,950 --> 00:20:04,000
wants to know is the soyuz rocket a

470
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:06,960
one-time use or are there reusable parts

471
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:09,200
the rocket itself is a one-time use it's

472
00:20:12,789 --> 00:20:10,640
an expendable

473
00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:12,799
so all these different rocket parts will

474
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:16,000
either fall to the ground

475
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:16,880
in

476
00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:19,840
the vast expanse of kazakhstan

477
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:21,919
or in some of the cases like the very

478
00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:24,400
upper stage burn up upon re-entry in the

479
00:20:31,350 --> 00:20:29,510
but keep sending those questions uh so

480
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:31,360
now we're giving you some video here

481
00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:33,520
this is from yesterday

482
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:35,360
where russian orthodox priests did the

483
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:44,870
[Music]

484
00:20:48,710 --> 00:20:46,559
and this is done

485
00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:48,720
prior to every single flight

486
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:50,799
uh blessing of the rocket and then it

487
00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:52,720
typically will do a blessing of some of

488
00:20:57,029 --> 00:20:54,720
the the pad engineers and some of the

489
00:21:11,669 --> 00:20:57,039
other officials and then moving over to

490
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:13,669
today's activities in baikonur though

491
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:16,880
began several hours ago the crew was

492
00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:19,360
woken up in the cosmonaut hotel in

493
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:25,190
there is room here

494
00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:26,240
in a

495
00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:28,640
time-honored tradition as you can see

496
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:30,080
our commander doing here before

497
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:32,320
departing the three crew members signed

498
00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:33,360
the door

499
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:35,039
of the rooms they occupied at the

500
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:47,669
it's looking good

501
00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:49,669
for novitskiy this is his third time

502
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:52,640
signing for dubrov his first as he's the

503
00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:54,400
rookie amongst the crew and the mark

504
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:56,080
vanderheim about to make his second

505
00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:57,120
flight

506
00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:58,960
aboard a soyuz spacecraft and to the

507
00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:00,720
international space station this was his

508
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:03,120
second time signing a door inside the

509
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:11,110
they were woken up at about 305 a.m

510
00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:12,480
local time

511
00:22:19,710 --> 00:22:15,679
over in baikonur it was about 505 pm

512
00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:19,720
uh central time here in houston or

513
00:22:31,029 --> 00:22:28,950
okay follow me now

514
00:22:32,950 --> 00:22:31,039
this one then just about three hours

515
00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:32,960
after waking up the crew departed the

516
00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:41,590
[Music]

517
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:42,960
you can see

518
00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:44,960
six flight suits there so the prime crew

519
00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:47,200
in front the backup crew behind them

520
00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:49,200
that's nasa astronaut and mclean russian

521
00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:51,440
cosmonaut anton shkaplerov and another

522
00:22:57,430 --> 00:22:55,120
russian cosmonaut oleg artemyev

523
00:22:59,830 --> 00:22:57,440
the backup crew stays in quarantine with

524
00:23:02,789 --> 00:22:59,840
the prime crew throughout their stay

525
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:02,799
in the cosmonaut hotel and their final

526
00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:05,360
time in russia beforehand

527
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:07,039
and they're with them as they go through

528
00:23:13,029 --> 00:23:10,080
their final suit up and rides out to the

529
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:15,029
again another time-honored tradition of

530
00:23:19,110 --> 00:23:16,720
flying aboard the soyuz the russian

531
00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:19,120
orthodox freeze blessing the crew as

532
00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:21,520
they make their way out of the hotel and

533
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:23,840
get ready to board a bus and head over

534
00:23:37,990 --> 00:23:33,430
[Music]

535
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:40,310
and so after a quick shower they wave

536
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:42,240
farewell to those that are gathered at

537
00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:43,520
the hotel

538
00:23:47,350 --> 00:23:45,440
those for a few final photos and then

539
00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:47,360
board the bus

540
00:23:52,070 --> 00:23:49,360
and then they are bound for what's known

541
00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:52,080
as building 254 or the suit up and

542
00:23:57,750 --> 00:23:54,480
integration building

543
00:23:59,830 --> 00:23:57,760
the cosmonaut hotel on the very edge of

544
00:24:00,710 --> 00:23:59,840
the town of baikonur

545
00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:00,720
just

546
00:24:06,549 --> 00:24:04,400
outside of the cosmodrome grounds proper

547
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:06,559
it's about a 40-minute ride from their

548
00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:09,520
hotel out to the suit-up building

549
00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:11,360
and all this happening about three hours

550
00:24:15,269 --> 00:24:12,880
after they woke up

551
00:24:40,810 --> 00:24:15,279
about 605 in the morning so an early

552
00:24:45,430 --> 00:24:43,990
[Applause]

553
00:24:47,269 --> 00:24:45,440
[Music]

554
00:25:00,210 --> 00:24:47,279
good morning

555
00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:02,549
[Applause]

556
00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:10,000
and so once they arrived at the

557
00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:11,679
integration and suit up facility

558
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:14,240
building 254 the crew underwent some

559
00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:16,720
final medical exams and then suited up

560
00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:18,320
in their soca launch and entry suits

561
00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:20,240
they're in these throughout all of the

562
00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:22,640
dynamic phases of flight so they're

563
00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:24,960
essentially wearing these in their very

564
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:27,360
quick about three hour and 25 minute

565
00:25:30,710 --> 00:25:28,880
journey up to the space station so

566
00:25:36,290 --> 00:25:30,720
they're wearing them now

567
00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:38,230
[Applause]

568
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:40,159
and these soca launch and entry suits

569
00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:42,480
are primarily worn if you're familiar

570
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:43,679
with

571
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,720
a lot of

572
00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:46,080
the different space vehicles you're

573
00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:48,720
wearing these suits during the ride and

574
00:25:52,669 --> 00:25:50,799
they're there to protect you in the

575
00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:52,679
event of what's called a cabin

576
00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:55,120
depressurization so if for whatever

577
00:26:00,630 --> 00:25:57,760
reason a spacecraft were to lose

578
00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:00,640
the integrity of its hole if the cabin

579
00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:03,440
were to go down to vacuum these suits

580
00:26:08,230 --> 00:26:05,919
are connected to breathing air and can

581
00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:08,240
pressurize to protect the crew

582
00:26:11,430 --> 00:26:09,679
in the event that something like that

583
00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:11,440
happens and that's why we have them wear

584
00:26:15,510 --> 00:26:13,120
these throughout all of what we call the

585
00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:15,520
dynamic phases of things like a launch

586
00:26:20,710 --> 00:26:18,480
or any time you're rendezvouing docking

587
00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:20,720
undocking and then coming home crew

588
00:26:27,110 --> 00:26:24,960
members will be wearing these suits

589
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:27,120
the small blue knob you can see right at

590
00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:29,360
the top part of the chest is used to

591
00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:32,159
adjust the pressure once they go through

592
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:34,240
the inflation or the pressurization of

593
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:39,110
and after they get suited up and we'll

594
00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:41,120
see it in just a moment

595
00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:43,679
uh each of the crew members goes and

596
00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:45,919
gets a quick uh pressure check or a leak

597
00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:47,520
check on these suits

598
00:26:51,029 --> 00:26:49,440
and so we'll be able to see them uh

599
00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:51,039
inflate a bit but

600
00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:52,799
again for for mark vanda high this is

601
00:26:59,750 --> 00:26:54,640
the second time he's done this exact

602
00:27:01,830 --> 00:27:00,870
again so

603
00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:01,840
after

604
00:27:06,310 --> 00:27:03,840
they get the suits on they move over to

605
00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:06,320
get a pressure check just again to make

606
00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:07,760
sure that the suit is free from leaks

607
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:10,080
they each get into basically a mock-up

608
00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:12,640
of a soyuz seat so what you're looking

609
00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:14,159
at is what it looks like once they're

610
00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:17,360
inside the capsule itself

611
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:19,600
they're assisted by suit techs

612
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:23,520
who then connect their suits to a

613
00:27:27,269 --> 00:27:24,960
simulated line

614
00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:27,279
to pressurize the suit and start flowing

615
00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:29,039
breathing air throughout it and so

616
00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:30,960
you'll see once they get locked in the

617
00:27:34,149 --> 00:27:32,880
suits will kind of puff up

618
00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,159
and that's how you can know that they're

619
00:27:38,789 --> 00:27:36,640
pressurized it's easier to see

620
00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:38,799
if you pay attention around the leg area

621
00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:40,559
and you'll see everything looks a little

622
00:27:53,890 --> 00:27:41,760
bit

623
00:28:05,430 --> 00:27:55,430
[Music]

624
00:28:08,789 --> 00:28:07,510
again the crew goes through this one at

625
00:28:10,710 --> 00:28:08,799
a time

626
00:28:13,029 --> 00:28:10,720
while all this is happening and we'll

627
00:28:15,669 --> 00:28:13,039
see in just a few moments there's a pane

628
00:28:16,950 --> 00:28:15,679
of glass to help maintain that strict

629
00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:16,960
quarantine

630
00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:19,200
that's true for all crew members

631
00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:20,880
spending long duration flights on board

632
00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:22,240
the space station

633
00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:23,679
it's not something that we've

634
00:28:27,909 --> 00:28:25,919
implemented just in the last year in the

635
00:28:29,909 --> 00:28:27,919
current pandemic climate

636
00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:29,919
a quarantine has been standard for crew

637
00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:31,360
members bound for the international

638
00:28:35,510 --> 00:28:34,080
space station for many years

639
00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:35,520
as

640
00:28:39,029 --> 00:28:36,880
they're

641
00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:39,039
essentially launching into a closed

642
00:28:42,149 --> 00:28:40,320
environment

643
00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:42,159
and one of the

644
00:28:45,750 --> 00:28:43,600
negative effects of living in

645
00:28:48,149 --> 00:28:45,760
microgravity for a long time can

646
00:28:49,909 --> 00:28:48,159
actually suppress your immune system and

647
00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:49,919
so we want to make sure crew members are

648
00:28:54,389 --> 00:28:52,399
as healthy as possible not bringing

649
00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:54,399
any cold bugs or anything like that up

650
00:28:57,750 --> 00:28:55,760
there with them so they're kept in a

651
00:28:59,909 --> 00:28:57,760
very strict quarantine

652
00:29:01,750 --> 00:28:59,919
access to the crew is extremely limited

653
00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:01,760
in the in this time

654
00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:04,000
and it's typically about the two weeks

655
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:05,760
right before they lift off this is the

656
00:29:08,549 --> 00:29:06,880
same for

657
00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:08,559
crew members flying on a soyuz

658
00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:10,399
spacecraft it's the same

659
00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:12,320
that we've been putting crew members for

660
00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:15,120
that have flown up on the spacex dragon

661
00:29:22,230 --> 00:29:17,840
in the last on the demo 2 and the crew 1

662
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:41,590
[Music]

663
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:50,150
um

664
00:29:50,160 --> 00:30:09,190
[Music]

665
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,630
yes

666
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:27,669
[Music]

667
00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:29,830
and then once their suits were confirmed

668
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:40,230
we became very close to you to the whole

669
00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:44,070
and

670
00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:46,880
we are always here to support you if you

671
00:31:16,549 --> 00:30:53,430
it's the most important thing to

672
00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:19,110
the rocket and the boosters are in good

673
00:31:25,190 --> 00:31:22,320
technical condition

674
00:31:26,950 --> 00:31:25,200
everything is working nominally

675
00:31:31,590 --> 00:31:26,960
and i wish you

676
00:31:38,310 --> 00:31:34,310
i know you have done everything that has

677
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:38,320
to be done during your preparation stage

678
00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:41,120
and we'll continue talking to you

679
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:47,669
as a facility center program will be a

680
00:31:53,669 --> 00:31:49,840
little bit more full

681
00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:55,909
you will not be bored

682
00:32:01,990 --> 00:31:57,840
hopefully you will find

683
00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:02,000
some time to rest and of course

684
00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,000
continue supporting each other

685
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:09,039
and stay good friends director of human

686
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,200
spaceflight happy leaders i want to wish

687
00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:12,720
you all the best

688
00:32:22,549 --> 00:32:20,630
it's been a pleasure watching you guys

689
00:32:24,870 --> 00:32:22,559
get ready for this mission we're looking

690
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:24,880
forward to seeing you on orbit and uh

691
00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:27,120
you have people across the globe waiting

692
00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:29,440
to support you on anything you need so

693
00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:35,990
and again so they were able to talk to a

694
00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:37,360
number of folks

695
00:32:41,830 --> 00:32:39,440
inside after confirming their suits for

696
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:41,840
leak free speaking with

697
00:32:46,310 --> 00:32:44,080
sergey korsakoff a cosmonaut who was

698
00:32:49,190 --> 00:32:46,320
assigned to the flight up until the swap

699
00:32:51,509 --> 00:32:49,200
for mark vanda high also speaking to

700
00:32:54,149 --> 00:32:51,519
dimitri orgozin and sergey krikalov from

701
00:32:57,350 --> 00:32:54,159
rose cosmos and ken bowersox and joel

702
00:32:59,909 --> 00:32:57,360
montalbano of nasa

703
00:33:01,909 --> 00:32:59,919
after that though they were able to

704
00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:01,919
board their bus that happened right

705
00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,399
about 8 56 a.m friday morning in

706
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:06,960
baikonur for the ride out to launch pad

707
00:33:18,850 --> 00:33:16,700
[Applause]

708
00:33:22,789 --> 00:33:18,860
[Music]

709
00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:24,950
and launch pad 31 a little bit further

710
00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:28,000
away than gagarin start where

711
00:33:32,630 --> 00:33:30,799
for years crews have launched

712
00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:32,640
from baikonur to the international space

713
00:33:38,549 --> 00:33:35,679
station took them about 70 minutes

714
00:33:40,070 --> 00:33:38,559
to get over to the pad the crew members

715
00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:40,080
being helped

716
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:42,000
again in the soca launch and entry suits

717
00:34:00,300 --> 00:33:44,240
to make their way to the rocket and head

718
00:34:29,510 --> 00:34:05,830
[Music]

719
00:34:34,869 --> 00:34:31,669
and then once at the pad the crew

720
00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:34,879
climbing a small flight of stairs

721
00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:37,359
getting set up taking a few final photos

722
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:39,280
and waving goodbye

723
00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:41,760
to officials from rose cosmos and nasa

724
00:34:45,909 --> 00:34:43,919
gathered to see the crew members off

725
00:34:48,149 --> 00:34:45,919
where they head into the elevator the

726
00:34:49,990 --> 00:34:48,159
ride up to the top of the soyuz rocket

727
00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:50,000
to board their capsule

728
00:34:55,430 --> 00:34:53,040
this all took place about two hours ago

729
00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:55,440
and since then the crew has been

730
00:34:59,190 --> 00:34:57,200
in their seats

731
00:35:01,589 --> 00:34:59,200
again oleg novitskiy is in the center

732
00:35:03,270 --> 00:35:01,599
seats he's the commander of the soyuz

733
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:03,280
spacecraft

734
00:35:08,470 --> 00:35:05,280
piotr dubrov in the left seat mark

735
00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:08,480
vanderhei in the right

736
00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,000
since they've been on board they've gone

737
00:35:13,670 --> 00:35:12,400
through a number of pre-launch checks

738
00:35:15,910 --> 00:35:13,680
confirming

739
00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:15,920
a good leak check on the soyuz capsule

740
00:35:21,430 --> 00:35:18,240
itself also doing leak checks on their

741
00:35:23,589 --> 00:35:21,440
suits continuing to speak with the pad

742
00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:23,599
engineers and the launch teams down in

743
00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:26,400
baikonur as they continue to count down

744
00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:27,839
towards launch

745
00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:30,320
back now though with a live view of that

746
00:35:35,270 --> 00:35:32,960
soyuz the ms-18 spacecraft and the soyuz

747
00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:35,280
rocket on the launch pad and baikonur

748
00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:36,880
and if you're just now joining us a

749
00:35:43,430 --> 00:35:40,480
reminder liftoff is scheduled 2 42 a.m

750
00:35:49,349 --> 00:35:45,510
that's 7 42

751
00:35:52,390 --> 00:35:49,359
gmt or 12 42 p.m over in baikonur and as

752
00:35:58,069 --> 00:35:52,400
of right now we are 22 minutes and five

753
00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:00,870
and as we continue to count down let's

754
00:36:23,589 --> 00:36:04,320
first explore the soyuz spacecraft in a

755
00:36:28,790 --> 00:36:26,150
the whole soyuz spacecraft is 24.5 feet

756
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:28,800
long with an overall volume of 177 cubic

757
00:36:33,109 --> 00:36:31,040
feet and comprised of three modules the

758
00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:33,119
descent module situated in the middle of

759
00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:35,200
the soyuz vehicle contains customized

760
00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:36,720
seats for the crew members during launch

761
00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:38,560
entry and landing and contains all the

762
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:40,160
controls and displays necessary for the

763
00:36:44,230 --> 00:36:42,320
flight it also houses life support

764
00:36:45,750 --> 00:36:44,240
systems batteries for the re-entry and

765
00:36:47,349 --> 00:36:45,760
landing in the parachute and soft

766
00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:47,359
landing rocket engines that slow the

767
00:36:51,670 --> 00:36:49,040
soyuz just before touchdown as a

768
00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:51,680
spacecraft lands in kazakhstan

769
00:36:55,270 --> 00:36:53,359
there are eight hydrogen peroxide

770
00:36:56,870 --> 00:36:55,280
thrusters located on the module which

771
00:36:58,870 --> 00:36:56,880
are used to control the spacecraft's

772
00:37:01,589 --> 00:36:58,880
orientation or attitude during the

773
00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:01,599
descent until parachute deployment

774
00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:03,119
the descent module also contains a

775
00:37:06,470 --> 00:37:04,720
guidance navigation and control system

776
00:37:08,550 --> 00:37:06,480
used to maneuver the vehicle during the

777
00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:08,560
descent phase of the mission this

778
00:37:13,270 --> 00:37:10,720
descent module is 7.3 feet long with a

779
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:13,280
diameter of 7.1 feet and a habitable

780
00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:16,240
volume of 124 cubic feet it is the only

781
00:37:20,150 --> 00:37:17,680
portion of the soyuz that survives the

782
00:37:22,710 --> 00:37:20,160
return to earth the orbital module at

783
00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:22,720
the top is 9.8 feet long it connects to

784
00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:24,960
the descent module via pressurized hatch

785
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:26,240
this is where the crew has a small

786
00:37:29,109 --> 00:37:27,760
amount of room to move around following

787
00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:29,119
launch during the flight to the space

788
00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:30,320
station

789
00:37:34,150 --> 00:37:32,240
it has a docking mechanism hatch and

790
00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:34,160
rendezvous antennas located at the front

791
00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:36,160
end the docking mechanism is used to

792
00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:37,760
dock with the space station and the

793
00:37:40,390 --> 00:37:39,280
hatch allows entry into the orbiting

794
00:37:42,069 --> 00:37:40,400
complex

795
00:37:43,670 --> 00:37:42,079
the rendezvous antennas are used by the

796
00:37:45,829 --> 00:37:43,680
automated docking system which uses

797
00:37:47,109 --> 00:37:45,839
radar to maneuver toward the station for

798
00:37:48,630 --> 00:37:47,119
docking

799
00:37:50,150 --> 00:37:48,640
there is also a forward-looking window

800
00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:50,160
in the module that the crew can use to

801
00:37:54,230 --> 00:37:52,079
take manual measurements of distance and

802
00:37:55,750 --> 00:37:54,240
closing speed with a laser rangefinder

803
00:37:58,150 --> 00:37:55,760
in the event of failure of the

804
00:38:00,069 --> 00:37:58,160
rendezvous radar system

805
00:38:01,990 --> 00:38:00,079
the propulsion module houses the oxygen

806
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,000
storage tanks the main engine and the

807
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:04,400
attitude control thrusters avionics and

808
00:38:07,829 --> 00:38:06,160
communication and control equipment the

809
00:38:09,589 --> 00:38:07,839
propulsion portion of this module

810
00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:09,599
handles all orbital maneuvers including

811
00:38:13,109 --> 00:38:11,040
those needed for the rendezvous with the

812
00:38:14,550 --> 00:38:13,119
space station and the new orbit burn at

813
00:38:16,069 --> 00:38:14,560
the end of the spacecraft's mission

814
00:38:17,670 --> 00:38:16,079
before they are deployed the two solar

815
00:38:19,670 --> 00:38:17,680
arrays are folded against the body of

816
00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:19,680
the propulsion module which along with

817
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:21,520
the orbital module separates from the

818
00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:23,680
descent module after the orbit burn the

819
00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:26,640
solar panels span almost 35 feet

820
00:38:30,150 --> 00:38:28,560
the entire spacecraft serves not only as

821
00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:30,160
a crew transport vehicle to and from the

822
00:38:33,829 --> 00:38:31,839
space station but also as an emergency

823
00:38:35,109 --> 00:38:33,839
return vehicle in the unlikely event the

824
00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:35,119
crew needs to leave the station

825
00:38:47,030 --> 00:38:44,790
and we'll be going through the soyuz

826
00:38:49,109 --> 00:38:47,040
spacecraft in a little bit more detail

827
00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:49,119
as we continue to watch it fly up to the

828
00:38:52,550 --> 00:38:51,119
international space station

829
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:52,560
for now though let's take a couple of

830
00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:54,800
moments if you have any questions about

831
00:38:58,150 --> 00:38:56,480
the launch or the flight today or

832
00:39:01,510 --> 00:38:58,160
anything about the space station jump

833
00:39:03,109 --> 00:39:01,520
onto twitter use the hashtag asknasa and

834
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:03,119
we will try and knock out as many of

835
00:39:08,230 --> 00:39:05,440
these as we can this morning so let's do

836
00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:08,240
a few more uh this first one up from

837
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:10,160
tristan tristan

838
00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:11,359
wanted to know what are the main things

839
00:39:16,550 --> 00:39:13,200
to look for in order to have a

840
00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:16,560
successful launch it's a great question

841
00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:17,520
so

842
00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:21,280
this is essentially a three-stage

843
00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:23,839
flight to orbit today the whole thing

844
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:27,040
over in just under nine minutes

845
00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:28,960
we'll look for a couple of key events

846
00:39:33,829 --> 00:39:30,960
i'll outline those for you real quick so

847
00:39:36,310 --> 00:39:33,839
about one minute 54 seconds into flight

848
00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:36,320
the launch escape tower will jettison if

849
00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:37,920
you look at this view of the rocket it's

850
00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:40,560
the very narrow part at the very top

851
00:39:46,870 --> 00:39:44,400
that's in place to uh detach and

852
00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:46,880
pull the capsule away from the rocket in

853
00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:48,960
the event there's any issue on the way

854
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:51,520
uphill that will detach at one minute 54

855
00:39:56,390 --> 00:39:53,760
seconds and just four seconds later the

856
00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:56,400
first stage will separate now the first

857
00:40:01,109 --> 00:39:58,640
stage on the soyuz spacecraft are four

858
00:40:03,430 --> 00:40:01,119
strap-on boosters on the very bottom

859
00:40:05,589 --> 00:40:03,440
they're firing along with the second

860
00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:05,599
stage for about the first two minutes

861
00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:07,200
into flight

862
00:40:11,109 --> 00:40:09,119
shortly after that about 30 seconds

863
00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:11,119
later the launch shroud

864
00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:12,480
so the

865
00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:14,000
white part of the rocket just below the

866
00:40:18,790 --> 00:40:16,640
launch escape tower that will break off

867
00:40:21,750 --> 00:40:18,800
and that will unveil essentially the

868
00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:21,760
soyuz spacecraft uh to the vacuum of

869
00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:24,480
space that not that's there to protect

870
00:40:29,750 --> 00:40:27,040
it uh in the denser parts of earth's

871
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:29,760
atmosphere as the rocket climbs uphill

872
00:40:34,150 --> 00:40:31,440
the second stage will shut down four

873
00:40:36,230 --> 00:40:34,160
minutes 37 seconds into flight and then

874
00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:36,240
it will separate

875
00:40:41,109 --> 00:40:39,119
at four minutes and 48 seconds

876
00:40:43,270 --> 00:40:41,119
after that of the lower skirt of the

877
00:40:47,270 --> 00:40:43,280
third stage will jettison and that will

878
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:47,280
continue to fire until just before nine

879
00:40:52,069 --> 00:40:50,160
minutes into flight and so we're really

880
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:52,079
looking for all those different staging

881
00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:53,760
events to take place

882
00:40:57,430 --> 00:40:55,839
and then we're going to look for

883
00:40:59,829 --> 00:40:57,440
what's called a

884
00:41:02,069 --> 00:40:59,839
a good orbital insertion that'll be the

885
00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:02,079
primary thing we want to hear at the

886
00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:11,430
all right our next question comes

887
00:41:15,670 --> 00:41:13,440
uh from brian who wanted to know will

888
00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:15,680
the launch be occurring at the time the

889
00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:17,760
space station passes over the launch

890
00:41:23,670 --> 00:41:20,960
site like it does from the cape

891
00:41:26,550 --> 00:41:23,680
it's a little bit different for this one

892
00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:26,560
as it's timed extremely specifically in

893
00:41:30,790 --> 00:41:28,720
order for the soyuz to make this uh this

894
00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:30,800
kind of fast track a tour of it

895
00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:32,960
rendezvous at the time of the launch the

896
00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:36,640
station will be about 259 miles over

897
00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:40,240
northern uzbekistan it'll be about 335

898
00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:42,960
miles behind the soyuz as it leaves the

899
00:41:46,150 --> 00:41:44,560
launch pad

900
00:41:48,470 --> 00:41:46,160
but then during that ascent space

901
00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:48,480
station will actually leapfrog in front

902
00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:51,040
of the soyuz during the climb to orbit

903
00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:52,079
so

904
00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:52,880
when

905
00:41:57,270 --> 00:41:55,440
the soyuz launches station will be a

906
00:41:59,589 --> 00:41:57,280
little bit behind it but by the time

907
00:42:01,910 --> 00:41:59,599
soyuz hits orbit station will be a

908
00:42:04,150 --> 00:42:01,920
little bit in front of it that's a great

909
00:42:07,109 --> 00:42:04,160
question but it is timed extremely

910
00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:07,119
specifically so they can make this quick

911
00:42:11,670 --> 00:42:09,680
uh to orbit about three hour 25 minute

912
00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:11,680
rendezvous

913
00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:14,319
um our next question comes from

914
00:42:18,309 --> 00:42:15,839
blockbuster wants to know what is the

915
00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:18,319
docking in english time i'm assuming you

916
00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:21,119
mean utc or greenwich mean time that is

917
00:42:25,349 --> 00:42:23,760
a great question and that's a pretty

918
00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:25,359
easy answer because that's the same time

919
00:42:29,829 --> 00:42:27,119
that we use onboard the international

920
00:42:34,470 --> 00:42:29,839
space station docking today is scheduled

921
00:42:35,910 --> 00:42:34,480
to take place at 1107 and 51 seconds gmt

922
00:42:37,589 --> 00:42:35,920
it's the same

923
00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:37,599
time zone that they use onboard the

924
00:42:41,750 --> 00:42:39,920
space station and that we follow at all

925
00:42:44,950 --> 00:42:41,760
of the different flight control rooms

926
00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:44,960
around the world just to stay in sync

927
00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:47,520
our next question comes from nick who

928
00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:48,880
wanted to know which three russian

929
00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:50,240
vehicles are already docked to the

930
00:42:54,230 --> 00:42:52,160
station and what is the station's

931
00:42:55,349 --> 00:42:54,240
maximum crew capacity during crew

932
00:42:57,430 --> 00:42:55,359
rotation

933
00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:57,440
well there are three other russian

934
00:43:01,990 --> 00:42:59,200
spacecraft currently docked to the

935
00:43:03,990 --> 00:43:02,000
station two of them are progress or

936
00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:04,000
cargo spacecraft

937
00:43:08,550 --> 00:43:05,520
and one is another

938
00:43:10,230 --> 00:43:08,560
crude vehicle we have the progress 75

939
00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:10,240
and 77

940
00:43:15,109 --> 00:43:13,200
docked to uh the earth-facing port onsen

941
00:43:17,109 --> 00:43:15,119
and also uh the very aft at the very

942
00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:17,119
back part of the station and the soyuz

943
00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:19,760
ms-17 which carried kate rubins and her

944
00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:21,839
russian cosmonaut colleagues

945
00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:24,000
up to the space station about six months

946
00:43:27,670 --> 00:43:25,200
ago

947
00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:27,680
is already docked and then pretty soon

948
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:30,640
um at the rassvet module or the mini

949
00:43:35,349 --> 00:43:32,880
research module number one in about two

950
00:43:37,109 --> 00:43:35,359
and a half hours or three about three

951
00:43:40,390 --> 00:43:37,119
and a half hours after launch we'll have

952
00:43:43,190 --> 00:43:40,400
the soyuz ms-18 spacecraft the most

953
00:43:45,670 --> 00:43:43,200
we've had before

954
00:43:48,470 --> 00:43:45,680
when we were doing these handovers i was

955
00:43:51,510 --> 00:43:48,480
about nine and we're going to have 10 uh

956
00:43:54,150 --> 00:43:51,520
when we have two soyuz spacecraft and

957
00:43:56,870 --> 00:43:54,160
the crew on dragon attached i will go up

958
00:43:59,270 --> 00:43:56,880
to 11 and that's expected to be about

959
00:44:01,349 --> 00:43:59,280
the max that we'll see for these crew

960
00:44:03,190 --> 00:44:01,359
handover periods in the future that'll

961
00:44:04,950 --> 00:44:03,200
happen anytime we do what's called a

962
00:44:07,030 --> 00:44:04,960
direct handover

963
00:44:08,950 --> 00:44:07,040
when a new crew launches and arrives at

964
00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:08,960
the international space station before

965
00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:12,160
another crew leaves

966
00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:14,560
all right our next question comes from

967
00:44:18,390 --> 00:44:16,800
chris davies wants to know is there any

968
00:44:20,309 --> 00:44:18,400
plans to have a russian join a crew

969
00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:20,319
dragon flight at this stage to return

970
00:44:23,910 --> 00:44:22,000
the favor for the many years of

971
00:44:26,390 --> 00:44:23,920
americans on soyuz

972
00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:26,400
great question chris and there

973
00:44:31,589 --> 00:44:29,680
absolutely is um it's fully our

974
00:44:34,230 --> 00:44:31,599
intention to fly

975
00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,240
what we call mixed crews so having

976
00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:36,079
at least an american and a russian on

977
00:44:39,430 --> 00:44:37,520
every spacecraft going to the

978
00:44:41,589 --> 00:44:39,440
international space station

979
00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:41,599
the russian cosmonauts receive much more

980
00:44:45,589 --> 00:44:43,440
extensive training and have a lot more

981
00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:45,599
expertise on the russian segment which

982
00:44:50,069 --> 00:44:47,440
is functionally one half of the

983
00:44:51,589 --> 00:44:50,079
international space station and the same

984
00:44:53,750 --> 00:44:51,599
is true for

985
00:44:56,309 --> 00:44:53,760
american astronauts and the us segments

986
00:44:58,630 --> 00:44:56,319
so to just put us in the best possible

987
00:45:00,550 --> 00:44:58,640
posture to continue operating the space

988
00:45:02,230 --> 00:45:00,560
station safely

989
00:45:04,390 --> 00:45:02,240
and just have really the best people

990
00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:04,400
always on hand for the job

991
00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:06,560
we fully intend to see our russian

992
00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:09,040
counterparts join us pretty soon

993
00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:12,160
on the u.s commercial crew vehicles that

994
00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:13,520
are currently

995
00:45:17,270 --> 00:45:15,040
flying to the space station like the

996
00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:17,280
crew one currently docked

997
00:45:21,670 --> 00:45:18,800
all right let's do one more for right

998
00:45:25,349 --> 00:45:21,680
now this one comes from diane who wants

999
00:45:27,510 --> 00:45:25,359
to know do soyuz also use rp1 as fuel

1000
00:45:30,069 --> 00:45:27,520
does he use the same oxidizer that

1001
00:45:31,829 --> 00:45:30,079
falcon 9 used to launch crew one

1002
00:45:34,390 --> 00:45:31,839
it's extremely similar

1003
00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:34,400
it is essentially rp1 which is just a

1004
00:45:37,910 --> 00:45:36,400
refined form of kerosene that's very

1005
00:45:39,430 --> 00:45:37,920
commonly used

1006
00:45:41,349 --> 00:45:39,440
in a lot of rocket engines there are

1007
00:45:44,710 --> 00:45:41,359
some slight differences

1008
00:45:47,109 --> 00:45:44,720
between the refining process between the

1009
00:45:49,349 --> 00:45:47,119
fuel used in the russian spacecraft and

1010
00:45:51,030 --> 00:45:49,359
in the falcon 9 in america

1011
00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:51,040
but for most purposes they're

1012
00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:52,960
essentially the same and they both use

1013
00:45:57,270 --> 00:45:55,680
the same oxidizer liquid oxygen

1014
00:45:59,349 --> 00:45:57,280
the rp one and

1015
00:46:00,630 --> 00:45:59,359
the liquid oxygen is used for all three

1016
00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:00,640
stages

1017
00:46:05,670 --> 00:46:03,440
of the soyuz launch vehicle

1018
00:46:07,990 --> 00:46:05,680
the soyuz spacecraft itself uses what's

1019
00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:08,000
called hyper golf fuels or fuels that

1020
00:46:13,829 --> 00:46:10,319
don't need an ignition source for all of

1021
00:46:16,150 --> 00:46:13,839
its maneuvers once it reaches on orbit

1022
00:46:19,589 --> 00:46:16,160
that'll do it for now for our questions

1023
00:46:21,910 --> 00:46:19,599
if you have any more remember to keep on

1024
00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:21,920
getting over to twitter use that hashtag

1025
00:46:25,510 --> 00:46:24,160
ask nasa we'll get through a few more in

1026
00:46:27,030 --> 00:46:25,520
the launch show and then we'll get

1027
00:46:30,230 --> 00:46:27,040
through a whole bunch once we're on

1028
00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:30,240
orbit for a rendezvous and docking

1029
00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:32,400
but for now continuing with our live

1030
00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:34,800
coverage of launch mark vande high oleg

1031
00:46:39,109 --> 00:46:36,880
novitskiy and pyotr dubrov to the

1032
00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:39,119
international space station getting

1033
00:46:43,510 --> 00:46:41,520
great views of the soyuz on the launch

1034
00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:43,520
pad and it's clear skies so should have

1035
00:46:48,550 --> 00:46:46,160
a great view for launch today as of

1036
00:46:51,190 --> 00:46:48,560
right now we are just 11 minutes and 11

1037
00:46:55,270 --> 00:46:51,200
seconds away from liftoff again that's

1038
00:46:59,109 --> 00:46:55,280
time for 2 42 a.m central time 242 and

1039
00:47:02,870 --> 00:46:59,119
41 seconds to be exact 12 42 and 41

1040
00:47:05,349 --> 00:47:02,880
seconds over there in baikonur

1041
00:47:06,870 --> 00:47:05,359
the spacecraft was mated to its booster

1042
00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:06,880
and the three stages were joined

1043
00:47:11,670 --> 00:47:09,520
together earlier this week on monday

1044
00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:11,680
then just 24 hours later on tuesday the

1045
00:47:16,150 --> 00:47:13,920
rocket began its trek to the launch pad

1046
00:47:18,630 --> 00:47:16,160
taking off right at about 7am baikonur

1047
00:47:20,230 --> 00:47:18,640
time then arriving less than two hours

1048
00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:20,240
later where it was raised to its

1049
00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:21,760
vertical position for the final

1050
00:47:25,670 --> 00:47:23,760
pre-launch preparations

1051
00:47:28,230 --> 00:47:25,680
as of right now it's poised for launch

1052
00:47:30,069 --> 00:47:28,240
with the three crew members aboard soyuz

1053
00:47:31,750 --> 00:47:30,079
spacecraft sits high above those three

1054
00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:31,760
different stages that we walked through

1055
00:47:36,069 --> 00:47:33,920
a little bit earlier which uses that

1056
00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:36,079
kerosene or rp1

1057
00:47:40,230 --> 00:47:39,040
and liquid oxygen as the propellant

1058
00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:40,240
for now though why don't we take a

1059
00:47:46,390 --> 00:47:42,640
little bit deeper dive into the soyuz

1060
00:47:51,829 --> 00:47:49,190
the soyuz rocket stands 162 feet tall

1061
00:47:53,589 --> 00:47:51,839
weighs about 640 000 pounds and consists

1062
00:47:55,510 --> 00:47:53,599
of the soyuz spacecraft inside a

1063
00:47:59,430 --> 00:47:55,520
protective shroud at the top and the

1064
00:48:01,349 --> 00:47:59,440
three-stage soyuz 2.1a booster below

1065
00:48:03,109 --> 00:48:01,359
the first stage has four liquid engines

1066
00:48:05,109 --> 00:48:03,119
strapped to the side of the core vehicle

1067
00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:05,119
each will burn for one minute and 58

1068
00:48:09,990 --> 00:48:08,160
seconds before they drop away

1069
00:48:11,670 --> 00:48:10,000
the core engine of the first stage also

1070
00:48:13,910 --> 00:48:11,680
serves as the second stage and continues

1071
00:48:15,750 --> 00:48:13,920
to burn until 4 minutes and 57 seconds

1072
00:48:17,349 --> 00:48:15,760
into the flight

1073
00:48:18,870 --> 00:48:17,359
the third stage has a single engine that

1074
00:48:21,030 --> 00:48:18,880
will ignite before the separation of the

1075
00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:21,040
second stage helping to push it away

1076
00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:23,280
safely it will burn until the 8 minutes

1077
00:48:27,190 --> 00:48:25,760
and 46 seconds mark of the flight and at

1078
00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:27,200
that point the soyuz spacecraft will

1079
00:48:42,150 --> 00:48:28,720
separate from the third stage having

1080
00:48:46,230 --> 00:48:43,990
and continuing to get a look at that

1081
00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:46,240
soyuz rocket on the pad again launching

1082
00:48:51,589 --> 00:48:49,440
from site 31 at the baikonur cosmodrome

1083
00:48:53,990 --> 00:48:51,599
in kazakhstan we're under 10 minutes

1084
00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:54,000
away we're just nine minutes four

1085
00:48:59,190 --> 00:48:56,559
seconds three seconds two seconds no

1086
00:49:03,510 --> 00:48:59,200
seconds away from launch continuing to

1087
00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:03,520
march uh towards that two 242 and 41

1088
00:49:07,589 --> 00:49:05,599
second am central time

1089
00:49:10,950 --> 00:49:07,599
7 42 and

1090
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:10,960
41 seconds gmt so we're continuing to

1091
00:49:26,470 --> 00:49:24,630
and as mentioned a little bit earlier

1092
00:49:28,309 --> 00:49:26,480
representatives from nasa and rose

1093
00:49:30,150 --> 00:49:28,319
cosmos are going to be watching the

1094
00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:30,160
launch unfold as they have with all of

1095
00:49:34,870 --> 00:49:32,559
the events so far today just a short

1096
00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:34,880
distance away from the launch pad over

1097
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:38,000
there in baikonur for a quick update on

1098
00:49:42,870 --> 00:49:39,920
the activities and how everything's been

1099
00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:42,880
going let's go now to nasa public

1100
00:49:47,430 --> 00:49:45,359
affairs officer the one and only mr rob

1101
00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:47,440
navies rob

1102
00:49:51,829 --> 00:49:49,359
as the countdown here in the central

1103
00:49:53,589 --> 00:49:51,839
asian desert reaches its final minutes

1104
00:49:55,589 --> 00:49:53,599
we are compelled to take a look back at

1105
00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:55,599
the historic symmetry of this flight to

1106
00:50:00,470 --> 00:49:57,680
the international space station with

1107
00:50:01,589 --> 00:50:00,480
events that transpired here 60 years ago

1108
00:50:04,309 --> 00:50:01,599
today

1109
00:50:06,870 --> 00:50:04,319
on april 9 1961

1110
00:50:09,030 --> 00:50:06,880
yuri gagarin was formally and secretly

1111
00:50:11,910 --> 00:50:09,040
selected to become the first human to

1112
00:50:13,589 --> 00:50:11,920
fly in space over his backup cosmonaut

1113
00:50:16,150 --> 00:50:13,599
german titos

1114
00:50:18,549 --> 00:50:16,160
the final decision was made collectively

1115
00:50:20,950 --> 00:50:18,559
by the iconic sergey karlios the great

1116
00:50:24,069 --> 00:50:20,960
designer and the head of cosmonaut

1117
00:50:26,470 --> 00:50:24,079
training at that time nikolai kamana

1118
00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:26,480
and 60 years ago today

1119
00:50:32,549 --> 00:50:29,359
the final mating of the vostok k rocket

1120
00:50:34,870 --> 00:50:32,559
and the vot 1 spacecraft took place not

1121
00:50:36,710 --> 00:50:34,880
far from where we are at this hour

1122
00:50:39,190 --> 00:50:36,720
setting the stage for its roll out to

1123
00:50:42,470 --> 00:50:39,200
the launch pad two days later

1124
00:50:45,990 --> 00:50:42,480
today here at site 31 a more powerful

1125
00:50:47,349 --> 00:50:46,000
soyuz 2.1a booster stands fully fueled

1126
00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:47,359
to send vanda

1127
00:50:52,710 --> 00:50:49,920
novitskiy and dugrov to a city in the

1128
00:50:54,870 --> 00:50:52,720
sky the orbital laboratory that is the

1129
00:50:56,549 --> 00:50:54,880
international space station

1130
00:50:59,190 --> 00:50:56,559
with everything proceeding smoothly

1131
00:51:00,950 --> 00:50:59,200
toward launch and history in the air

1132
00:51:02,390 --> 00:51:00,960
that's it from the baikonur cosmodrome

1133
00:51:04,069 --> 00:51:02,400
in kazakhstan

1134
00:51:06,069 --> 00:51:04,079
now back to you at mission control in

1135
00:51:08,309 --> 00:51:06,079
houston

1136
00:51:09,990 --> 00:51:08,319
according to the schedule control is on

1137
00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:10,000
board and i will provide the running

1138
00:51:15,510 --> 00:51:13,200
commentary of the launch as big one copy

1139
00:51:26,549 --> 00:51:15,520
everything is good on board and we are

1140
00:51:31,430 --> 00:51:28,870
we are just six and a half minutes away

1141
00:51:33,430 --> 00:51:31,440
from launch continuing to hear calms

1142
00:51:37,270 --> 00:51:33,440
between the soyuz commander oleg

1143
00:51:39,190 --> 00:51:37,280
novitskiy and the block house engineers

1144
00:51:40,950 --> 00:51:39,200
down there at baikonur

1145
00:51:43,349 --> 00:51:40,960
as you can see the crew has closed their

1146
00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:43,359
visors that's novitskiy on the bottom of

1147
00:51:46,790 --> 00:51:45,040
your screen he's in the center seat the

1148
00:51:49,589 --> 00:51:46,800
soyuz commander

1149
00:51:51,270 --> 00:51:49,599
at the top is pyotr dubrov he's in the

1150
00:51:58,230 --> 00:51:51,280
left seat you can essentially think of

1151
00:52:02,630 --> 00:52:00,069
we just got confirmation the launch key

1152
00:52:04,549 --> 00:52:02,640
has been inserted and one of potentially

1153
00:52:07,510 --> 00:52:04,559
the coolest things in all of space

1154
00:52:09,670 --> 00:52:07,520
flight there is an actual physical key

1155
00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:09,680
that is inserted and used to initiate

1156
00:52:18,470 --> 00:52:15,910
at this point the first and second stage

1157
00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:18,480
engines are primed and ready for launch

1158
00:52:22,230 --> 00:52:20,480
telemetry has been confirmed and

1159
00:52:23,670 --> 00:52:22,240
received from the rocket again that's

1160
00:52:25,670 --> 00:52:23,680
going to be sending telemetry to ground

1161
00:52:27,510 --> 00:52:25,680
sights all throughout the ride uphill

1162
00:52:29,109 --> 00:52:27,520
which is expected to take just under

1163
00:52:31,270 --> 00:52:29,119
nine minutes we're looking for third

1164
00:52:58,069 --> 00:52:31,280
stage separation about eight minutes and

1165
00:52:58,079 --> 00:53:09,510
time

1166
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:16,069
of flight engineer and commander

1167
00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:17,670
you just heard combustion chamber

1168
00:53:21,829 --> 00:53:20,000
nitrogen purge so they use nitrogen

1169
00:53:23,510 --> 00:53:21,839
inert gas

1170
00:53:26,710 --> 00:53:23,520
to flow through the combustion chamber

1171
00:53:29,349 --> 00:53:26,720
and purge any vapors or other remnants

1172
00:53:31,589 --> 00:53:29,359
before they start the full flow of fuel

1173
00:53:34,069 --> 00:53:31,599
and oxidizer to the engines

1174
00:53:36,069 --> 00:53:34,079
and using a refined version of kerosene

1175
00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:36,079
and liquid oxygen to power all of the

1176
00:53:48,309 --> 00:53:38,240
stages all three first second and third

1177
00:53:52,470 --> 00:53:50,710
just as a quick reminder as we get up to

1178
00:53:54,710 --> 00:53:52,480
the four minute mark

1179
00:53:56,790 --> 00:53:54,720
when we launch the space station will be

1180
00:54:00,069 --> 00:53:56,800
flying just over northern uzbekistan

1181
00:54:03,190 --> 00:54:00,079
about 335 miles behind the soyuz

1182
00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:03,200
spacecraft as it leaves the launch pad

1183
00:54:08,470 --> 00:54:05,760
and then by the time it makes the 8

1184
00:54:10,230 --> 00:54:08,480
minute 49 second ride into orbit the

1185
00:54:10,950 --> 00:54:10,240
station will have leapfrogged ahead of

1186
00:54:39,990 --> 00:54:10,960
it

1187
00:54:44,870 --> 00:54:42,470
wonder three minutes and 20 seconds away

1188
00:54:46,390 --> 00:54:44,880
we're awaiting the call that the

1189
00:54:47,990 --> 00:54:46,400
boosters fuel tanks are being

1190
00:54:49,670 --> 00:54:48,000
pressurized for flight this will just

1191
00:54:51,349 --> 00:54:49,680
help optimize

1192
00:54:53,190 --> 00:54:51,359
the flow of all of the fuel to the

1193
00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:53,200
rocket engines helps add a little bit of

1194
00:54:57,990 --> 00:54:55,440
structural support as well to the rocket

1195
00:54:59,589 --> 00:54:58,000
oxide and fuel drain and safety valves

1196
00:55:01,829 --> 00:54:59,599
are closed

1197
00:55:06,789 --> 00:55:01,839
ground cylinder oxidizer nitrogen to the

1198
00:55:11,910 --> 00:55:08,390
and at this point terminating some of

1199
00:55:13,750 --> 00:55:11,920
the propellant feeds to the rocket

1200
00:55:16,069 --> 00:55:13,760
two things to keep an eye on as we

1201
00:55:17,829 --> 00:55:16,079
continue to count down there are two

1202
00:55:19,589 --> 00:55:17,839
umbilical towers

1203
00:55:21,990 --> 00:55:19,599
really those two ground structures

1204
00:55:23,829 --> 00:55:22,000
attach to the rocket itself

1205
00:55:27,190 --> 00:55:23,839
that taller one's going to separate at

1206
00:55:29,829 --> 00:55:27,200
about 35 seconds before launch and the

1207
00:55:31,589 --> 00:55:29,839
smaller one about midway up the rocket

1208
00:55:35,510 --> 00:55:31,599
will separate and once you see that

1209
00:55:38,069 --> 00:55:35,520
separate for 15 seconds away from launch

1210
00:55:41,829 --> 00:55:38,079
booster propel antenna pressurization

1211
00:55:45,349 --> 00:55:43,510
so there's that call out the booster

1212
00:55:47,670 --> 00:55:45,359
tanks are now being pressurized for

1213
00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:47,680
flight again just helping the to

1214
00:55:52,470 --> 00:55:50,000
optimize and facilitate the flow of fuel

1215
00:55:55,430 --> 00:55:52,480
to those engines in the first and second

1216
00:55:58,789 --> 00:55:55,440
stage which will fire simultaneously to

1217
00:57:03,430 --> 00:55:58,799
begin the initial flight into orbit

1218
00:57:08,390 --> 00:57:06,230
55 seconds away from launch we saw oleg

1219
00:57:19,510 --> 00:57:08,400
novitskiy there in the center seat his

1220
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,589
terminated

1221
00:57:27,829 --> 00:57:25,430
and right at 35 seconds the first

1222
00:57:29,510 --> 00:57:27,839
umbilical tower separating the vehicle

1223
00:57:35,190 --> 00:57:29,520
on internal power

1224
00:57:40,630 --> 00:57:36,710
so the ground propellant feed to the

1225
00:57:43,589 --> 00:57:40,640
rocket has now completely terminated

1226
00:57:46,549 --> 00:57:43,599
auto sequence initiated second umbilical

1227
00:57:50,390 --> 00:57:46,559
separated 15 seconds from launch command

1228
00:57:50,400 --> 00:58:01,829
second umbilical tower separate

1229
00:58:06,470 --> 00:58:03,750
and liftoff

1230
00:58:13,109 --> 00:58:06,480
so use ms-18 on its way to the

1231
00:58:18,070 --> 00:58:16,230
10 seconds the booster parameters are

1232
00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:18,080
nominal everything is good on board

1233
00:58:21,829 --> 00:58:19,680
[Music]

1234
00:58:25,589 --> 00:58:21,839
very nominal performance the first stage

1235
00:58:27,430 --> 00:58:25,599
delivering 930 000 pounds of thrust

1236
00:58:32,870 --> 00:58:27,440
from those four first stage boosters and

1237
00:58:37,430 --> 00:58:34,470
30 seconds

1238
00:58:40,549 --> 00:58:37,440
into the flight the parameters of the

1239
00:58:41,910 --> 00:58:40,559
booster are nominal everything is fine

1240
00:58:44,309 --> 00:58:41,920
on boards

1241
00:58:47,349 --> 00:58:44,319
40 seconds uh

1242
00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:47,359
the vehicle is stable everything is good

1243
00:58:51,829 --> 00:58:50,160
on board

1244
00:58:53,990 --> 00:58:51,839
continuing to hear good performance

1245
00:58:55,510 --> 00:58:54,000
calls a quick look inside the capsule

1246
00:58:57,270 --> 00:58:55,520
you can see

1247
00:58:59,030 --> 00:58:57,280
the crew strapped in and monitoring

1248
00:59:00,630 --> 00:58:59,040
displays as they continue on their way

1249
00:59:02,230 --> 00:59:00,640
up hill

1250
00:59:10,309 --> 00:59:02,240
just past the one minute mark into

1251
00:59:14,789 --> 00:59:12,710
70 seconds into the flight

1252
00:59:21,430 --> 00:59:14,799
everything is nominal

1253
00:59:25,030 --> 00:59:23,030
at this point the space station has

1254
00:59:26,789 --> 00:59:25,040
already flown over the baikonur

1255
00:59:34,549 --> 00:59:26,799
cosmodrome and now making its way in

1256
00:59:39,190 --> 00:59:36,870
roughly 90 seconds into flight the soyuz

1257
00:59:41,349 --> 00:59:39,200
rocket already moving more than 2100

1258
00:59:43,750 --> 00:59:41,359
miles per hour already about 10 million

1259
00:59:46,710 --> 00:59:43,760
10 miles downrange the flight of

1260
00:59:49,990 --> 00:59:46,720
parameters of the booster are nominal

1261
00:59:56,309 --> 00:59:50,000
the crew is stealing well at 10

1262
01:00:05,510 --> 00:59:58,549
okay if you have received the

1263
01:00:09,670 --> 01:00:07,589
and right on time we see first stage

1264
01:00:11,829 --> 01:00:09,680
separation the coryof cross those four

1265
01:00:13,829 --> 01:00:11,839
strap-on boosters separating now the

1266
01:00:17,829 --> 01:00:13,839
single core stage continuing to power

1267
01:00:18,710 --> 01:00:17,839
the soyuz spacecraft into flight

1268
01:00:20,710 --> 01:00:18,720
cod

1269
01:00:24,069 --> 01:00:20,720
just before that the

1270
01:00:26,390 --> 01:00:24,079
launch escape tower was also jettisoned

1271
01:00:28,150 --> 01:00:26,400
soyuz does maintain escape capability

1272
01:00:29,829 --> 01:00:28,160
all the way to flight though the stage

1273
01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:29,839
able to use

1274
01:00:34,309 --> 01:00:32,160
for a short time small boosters on the

1275
01:00:36,549 --> 01:00:34,319
shroud itself and then once the shroud

1276
01:00:39,750 --> 01:00:36,559
detaches able to use boosters on the

1277
01:00:45,910 --> 01:00:44,150
so the shroud jettison is confirmed

1278
01:00:48,150 --> 01:00:45,920
we have

1279
01:00:50,069 --> 01:00:48,160
controlled descent

1280
01:00:51,910 --> 01:00:50,079
and so we heard confirmation the launch

1281
01:00:54,950 --> 01:00:51,920
round has jettison in this animation you

1282
01:00:57,109 --> 01:00:54,960
can see the soyuz spacecraft now exposed

1283
01:01:01,390 --> 01:00:57,119
continuing under the power of the second

1284
01:01:07,030 --> 01:01:04,950
180 seconds into the flight

1285
01:01:09,109 --> 01:01:07,040
uh vehicle stabilization is performing

1286
01:01:15,349 --> 01:01:09,119
nominally and the crew is feeling well

1287
01:01:19,670 --> 01:01:17,030
second stage is going to continue to

1288
01:01:21,510 --> 01:01:19,680
fire until four minutes and 37 seconds

1289
01:01:22,829 --> 01:01:21,520
into flight so about another minute and

1290
01:01:25,750 --> 01:01:22,839
20

1291
01:01:28,309 --> 01:01:25,760
seconds the second stage

1292
01:01:44,069 --> 01:01:28,319
thrusters are functioning nominally

1293
01:01:50,829 --> 01:01:45,670
getting some views from the spacecraft

1294
01:01:55,510 --> 01:01:53,430
230 seconds because stabilization is

1295
01:01:56,710 --> 01:01:55,520
performing nominally everything is good

1296
01:01:58,309 --> 01:01:56,720
on board

1297
01:02:01,190 --> 01:01:58,319
at this point the vehicle's already

1298
01:02:04,309 --> 01:02:01,200
accelerated to just about 6 400 miles

1299
01:02:11,270 --> 01:02:04,319
per hour about 172 miles down range from

1300
01:02:16,630 --> 01:02:13,750
150 seconds into the flight

1301
01:02:21,430 --> 01:02:16,640
pitch your end roll nominal everything

1302
01:02:27,029 --> 01:02:25,270
the patreon roll calls relating to the

1303
01:02:28,950 --> 01:02:27,039
the attitude or which way the vehicle is

1304
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:28,960
pointing hearing nominal is what we want

1305
01:02:32,309 --> 01:02:30,799
to continue to hear on the way uphill

1306
01:02:33,349 --> 01:02:32,319
everything continuing to perform

1307
01:02:36,390 --> 01:02:33,359
normally

1308
01:02:55,270 --> 01:02:36,400
with the soyuz spacecraft and the rocket

1309
01:02:55,280 --> 01:03:00,829
second stage separation is

1310
01:03:05,190 --> 01:03:03,430
confirmed and so we heard good

1311
01:03:07,589 --> 01:03:05,200
confirmation second stage is shut down

1312
01:03:09,750 --> 01:03:07,599
and separated you saw a piece fly off

1313
01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:09,760
there that was the lower skirt of the

1314
01:03:13,670 --> 01:03:11,839
third stage that was jettisoned right on

1315
01:03:15,589 --> 01:03:13,680
time as it was supposed to organization

1316
01:03:18,870 --> 01:03:15,599
is performing nominally and everything

1317
01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:20,630
so he's now being propelled by the

1318
01:03:25,829 --> 01:03:22,720
single engine of the third stage

1319
01:03:27,430 --> 01:03:25,839
providing about 67 000 pounds of thrust

1320
01:03:29,029 --> 01:03:27,440
this is going to continue to burn for

1321
01:03:32,150 --> 01:03:29,039
about four minutes it's going to shut

1322
01:03:35,029 --> 01:03:32,160
down at 8 minutes and 46 seconds into

1323
01:03:39,670 --> 01:03:37,670
into this light the third stage is

1324
01:03:50,349 --> 01:03:39,680
functioning nominally everything is good

1325
01:03:55,510 --> 01:03:53,270
350 seconds into the flight

1326
01:04:21,990 --> 01:03:55,520
everything is nominal

1327
01:04:27,670 --> 01:04:25,829
380 seconds into the flight third stage

1328
01:04:29,829 --> 01:04:27,680
thrusters are functioning nominally the

1329
01:04:40,789 --> 01:04:29,839
crew feeling well

1330
01:04:45,270 --> 01:04:43,510
400 seconds into the flight the vehicle

1331
01:04:48,309 --> 01:04:45,280
is stable

1332
01:04:50,470 --> 01:04:48,319
everything is good on board

1333
01:04:53,190 --> 01:04:50,480
now just about two minutes left a little

1334
01:04:55,750 --> 01:04:53,200
under two minutes of power on the third

1335
01:04:57,750 --> 01:04:55,760
stage

1336
01:04:59,990 --> 01:04:57,760
once it shuts down and separates just a

1337
01:05:01,750 --> 01:05:00,000
few seconds later the soyuz spacecraft

1338
01:05:03,670 --> 01:05:01,760
will be flying free

1339
01:05:06,309 --> 01:05:03,680
and a series of pre-programmed commands

1340
01:05:08,789 --> 01:05:06,319
will execute deploying a number of the

1341
01:05:11,029 --> 01:05:08,799
appendages of the antennas

1342
01:05:13,589 --> 01:05:11,039
and the solar arrays needed to power the

1343
01:05:15,270 --> 01:05:13,599
spacecraft on its way to the station

1344
01:05:17,990 --> 01:05:15,280
and the number of antennas will also

1345
01:05:19,990 --> 01:05:18,000
deploy for communications and tracking

1346
01:05:21,829 --> 01:05:20,000
including those that will be responsible

1347
01:05:23,910 --> 01:05:21,839
for communicating with the station as

1348
01:05:27,510 --> 01:05:23,920
the soyuz makes its automated rendezvous

1349
01:05:30,230 --> 01:05:29,430
seven and a half minutes since launch we

1350
01:05:31,990 --> 01:05:30,240
have

1351
01:05:34,150 --> 01:05:32,000
about a minute twenty a minute thirty

1352
01:05:34,950 --> 01:05:34,160
left until the third stage has done its

1353
01:05:53,670 --> 01:05:34,960
job

1354
01:06:00,630 --> 01:05:56,069
third stage thrusters are functioning

1355
01:06:07,270 --> 01:06:02,390
now in the final minute of powered

1356
01:06:10,230 --> 01:06:09,190
coming up soon we'll see third stage

1357
01:06:13,829 --> 01:06:10,240
shutdown

1358
01:06:15,430 --> 01:06:13,839
separation 190 seconds into the flight

1359
01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:15,440
vehicle stabilization is performing

1360
01:06:19,910 --> 01:06:17,280
nominally and everything is good on

1361
01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:19,920
board we'll look to confirm good orbital

1362
01:06:24,950 --> 01:06:22,319
insertion essentially

1363
01:06:26,309 --> 01:06:24,960
confirming that the spacecraft is in the

1364
01:06:35,029 --> 01:06:26,319
intended

1365
01:06:39,990 --> 01:06:36,789
and now standing by for third stage

1366
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:40,000
separation shutdown and separation

1367
01:07:02,069 --> 01:06:58,309
[Music]

1368
01:07:06,470 --> 01:07:02,079
is confirmed our congratulations and now

1369
01:07:16,789 --> 01:07:06,480
moscow mcc moscow will talk to you

1370
01:07:16,799 --> 01:07:27,990
moscow

1371
01:07:33,430 --> 01:07:30,950
so we saw a good shutdown and separation

1372
01:07:35,910 --> 01:07:33,440
of the third stage

1373
01:07:37,670 --> 01:07:35,920
solar array has deployed standing by for

1374
01:07:54,549 --> 01:07:37,680
confirmation that all antennas have

1375
01:07:54,559 --> 01:08:02,870
foreign

1376
01:08:07,670 --> 01:08:04,950
i am ready to

1377
01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:07,680
provide the data as per

1378
01:08:28,390 --> 01:08:25,590
i am ready to give you data

1379
01:08:30,149 --> 01:08:28,400
page 36 yes we are standing by for the

1380
01:08:31,510 --> 01:08:30,159
first measurement

1381
01:08:44,870 --> 01:08:31,520
data from you

1382
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:49,349
uh will be the dynamic ops

1383
01:08:54,390 --> 01:08:51,669
command will be sent via carell command

1384
01:08:56,630 --> 01:08:54,400
readily read the link

1385
01:09:00,390 --> 01:08:56,640
so everything was on time uh they are

1386
01:09:01,829 --> 01:09:00,400
there it was on time yes it is confirmed

1387
01:09:03,669 --> 01:09:01,839
you are standing by for the first

1388
01:09:06,229 --> 01:09:03,679
measurement from you

1389
01:09:09,189 --> 01:09:06,239
here's the first measurement at the time

1390
01:09:13,510 --> 01:09:09,199
10 52 28

1391
01:09:16,630 --> 01:09:13,520
the essa pressure 8 0 1 by all pressure

1392
01:09:21,110 --> 01:09:16,640
8 23

1393
01:09:23,030 --> 01:09:21,120
in power power pressure 8 891

1394
01:09:24,070 --> 01:09:23,040
in the instrument compartment and i'm

1395
01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:24,080
ready

1396
01:09:29,669 --> 01:09:27,600
to give you the data perform

1397
01:09:34,349 --> 01:09:29,679
number three

1398
01:09:37,430 --> 01:09:34,359
go ahead 17 17.7 18

1399
01:09:44,829 --> 01:09:37,440
17.3 19.

1400
01:09:46,390 --> 01:09:44,839
272 number 20 0.8 21 1.2 22

1401
01:09:47,820 --> 01:09:46,400
325

1402
01:10:05,510 --> 01:09:47,830
23

1403
01:10:08,950 --> 01:10:06,870
now please check

1404
01:10:13,189 --> 01:10:08,960
the indicators

1405
01:10:17,430 --> 01:10:15,030
and so we're continuing to get a lot of

1406
01:10:19,350 --> 01:10:17,440
comps between the soyuz spacecraft and

1407
01:10:21,270 --> 01:10:19,360
the russian mission control center in

1408
01:10:23,669 --> 01:10:21,280
karioff hearing them

1409
01:10:26,790 --> 01:10:23,679
call cosbeck that is the the call sign

1410
01:10:30,229 --> 01:10:26,800
for the the soyuz spacecraft with

1411
01:10:33,350 --> 01:10:30,239
commander oleg novitskiy

1412
01:10:34,470 --> 01:10:33,360
uh we did hear a good confirmation of

1413
01:10:36,070 --> 01:10:34,480
all solar

1414
01:10:37,990 --> 01:10:36,080
both solar arrays and all of the

1415
01:10:41,189 --> 01:10:38,000
appendages so all of the antennas did

1416
01:10:43,350 --> 01:10:41,199
deploy successfully so we had a nominal

1417
01:10:45,830 --> 01:10:43,360
flight on the way uphill we had a good

1418
01:10:47,750 --> 01:10:45,840
orbital insertion the initial orbit for

1419
01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:47,760
the soyuz spacecraft today is right at

1420
01:11:04,950 --> 01:10:52,000
around 200 kilometers by 242 kilometers

1421
01:11:08,790 --> 01:11:07,350
manifold switch over will be after the

1422
01:11:10,310 --> 01:11:08,800
first

1423
01:11:31,990 --> 01:11:10,320
burn

1424
01:11:37,510 --> 01:11:36,229
11 26 40 is the time yes correct of the

1425
01:11:41,910 --> 01:11:37,520
switchover

1426
01:11:49,590 --> 01:11:43,910
there will be selection of the first

1427
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:58,709
and what page of the procedure is that

1428
01:12:20,950 --> 01:12:00,870
so the first manifold will be selected

1429
01:12:27,110 --> 01:12:24,310
0 0. it is also recorded

1430
01:12:30,950 --> 01:12:27,120
40 page 45

1431
01:12:37,590 --> 01:12:32,950
yes that's correct now compass of the

1432
01:12:40,229 --> 01:12:37,600
second orbit 12 14 is the time copy 12

1433
01:12:41,430 --> 01:12:40,239
14 second compass yes

1434
01:12:44,149 --> 01:12:41,440
that's correct

1435
01:12:44,950 --> 01:12:44,159
from input 2 you will have

1436
01:12:48,870 --> 01:12:44,960
to

1437
01:12:52,870 --> 01:12:48,880
activate a display tv

1438
01:12:58,310 --> 01:12:54,870
so the command that should be sent is

1439
01:13:00,790 --> 01:12:58,320
there three yes display uh relay is

1440
01:13:03,030 --> 01:13:00,800
there three commands and

1441
01:13:12,870 --> 01:13:03,040
you will have to activate the com assets

1442
01:14:11,189 --> 01:13:15,030
so that's all i have for now

1443
01:14:11,199 --> 01:14:19,189
is

1444
01:14:19,199 --> 01:14:39,750
zero zero

1445
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:54,149
foreign

1446
01:14:59,189 --> 01:14:57,110
helmet really shoulder straps and you

1447
01:15:03,270 --> 01:14:59,199
can also deactivate the

1448
01:15:09,990 --> 01:15:07,270
pressure helmets to open and

1449
01:15:12,310 --> 01:15:10,000
we're going to release the straps and

1450
01:15:14,550 --> 01:15:12,320
decorate the thermal control centers the

1451
01:15:16,630 --> 01:15:14,560
vehicle and session completely

1452
01:15:19,990 --> 01:15:16,640
guys this is uh

1453
01:15:23,430 --> 01:15:21,030
well first of all i'd like to

1454
01:15:25,270 --> 01:15:23,440
congratulate you on this successful

1455
01:15:27,510 --> 01:15:25,280
vehicle orbital insertion all the

1456
01:15:30,790 --> 01:15:27,520
telemetry parameters are nominal and

1457
01:15:33,510 --> 01:15:30,800
other than that everything is fine uh so

1458
01:15:35,350 --> 01:15:33,520
uh your goal to

1459
01:15:50,630 --> 01:15:35,360
proceed with all the work that you have

1460
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:57,510
currently

1461
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:17,110
11.03

1462
01:16:20,470 --> 01:16:18,550
all right so we've been hearing a lot of

1463
01:16:22,630 --> 01:16:20,480
chatter between the soyuz ms-18

1464
01:16:24,390 --> 01:16:22,640
spacecraft and the russian mission

1465
01:16:26,709 --> 01:16:24,400
control center and coryoff again the

1466
01:16:29,270 --> 01:16:26,719
crew safely on the orbit

1467
01:16:31,830 --> 01:16:29,280
the soyuz spacecraft deployed all of its

1468
01:16:34,550 --> 01:16:31,840
solar arrays and antennas following a

1469
01:16:35,750 --> 01:16:34,560
flawless flight uphill we do have a

1470
01:16:37,430 --> 01:16:35,760
little bit of time we should be getting

1471
01:16:39,350 --> 01:16:37,440
some launch replays pretty soon so in

1472
01:16:41,910 --> 01:16:39,360
the meantime we'll take some more ask

1473
01:16:43,430 --> 01:16:41,920
nasa questions uh this first one's

1474
01:16:45,510 --> 01:16:43,440
asking how long are these astronauts

1475
01:16:47,669 --> 01:16:45,520
going to stay on board the international

1476
01:16:50,229 --> 01:16:47,679
space station well most flights

1477
01:16:51,669 --> 01:16:50,239
typically last about six months

1478
01:16:53,270 --> 01:16:51,679
as of right now

1479
01:16:55,110 --> 01:16:53,280
these three currently plan to stay about

1480
01:16:57,510 --> 01:16:55,120
six months a little more than six months

1481
01:17:00,149 --> 01:16:57,520
onboard the international space station

1482
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:00,159
and that's a typical stay the spacecraft

1483
01:17:02,470 --> 01:17:01,360
itself

1484
01:17:03,669 --> 01:17:02,480
has a

1485
01:17:04,550 --> 01:17:03,679
uh

1486
01:17:10,390 --> 01:17:04,560
on

1487
01:17:11,910 --> 01:17:10,400
so that's typically a max that a crew

1488
01:17:14,070 --> 01:17:11,920
will stay on board the international

1489
01:17:17,189 --> 01:17:14,080
space station obviously you have the

1490
01:17:19,990 --> 01:17:17,199
capability to sometimes swap seats

1491
01:17:21,030 --> 01:17:20,000
depending on how the flights downhill

1492
01:17:23,030 --> 01:17:21,040
or down

1493
01:17:24,390 --> 01:17:23,040
down the schedule take place

1494
01:17:26,709 --> 01:17:24,400
but for right now these crew members

1495
01:17:28,790 --> 01:17:26,719
scheduled to spend about six months on

1496
01:17:30,709 --> 01:17:28,800
board the station

1497
01:17:32,950 --> 01:17:30,719
this next question asks why does the

1498
01:17:35,030 --> 01:17:32,960
dragon journey take more time than the

1499
01:17:36,950 --> 01:17:35,040
soyuz that's a great question

1500
01:17:39,030 --> 01:17:36,960
and a lot of it comes down to

1501
01:17:40,709 --> 01:17:39,040
the difficulties that come with orbital

1502
01:17:42,870 --> 01:17:40,719
mechanics

1503
01:17:44,630 --> 01:17:42,880
it you have to launch at very precise

1504
01:17:46,470 --> 01:17:44,640
times to make journeys like the one

1505
01:17:48,229 --> 01:17:46,480
we're seeing today

1506
01:17:50,950 --> 01:17:48,239
and it's only been possible through

1507
01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:50,960
years of evolution

1508
01:17:55,910 --> 01:17:53,120
and a lot of lessons learned on behalf

1509
01:17:58,390 --> 01:17:55,920
of the russian rocket scientists and the

1510
01:18:00,630 --> 01:17:58,400
flight planners typically for many years

1511
01:18:02,310 --> 01:18:00,640
the soyuz took about two days

1512
01:18:04,229 --> 01:18:02,320
to arrive at the international space

1513
01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:04,239
station and

1514
01:18:08,390 --> 01:18:06,560
after they have any issues with any of

1515
01:18:09,430 --> 01:18:08,400
their burns or their engine firings on

1516
01:18:11,669 --> 01:18:09,440
the way

1517
01:18:13,990 --> 01:18:11,679
to the space station today they would

1518
01:18:16,630 --> 01:18:14,000
default into what is

1519
01:18:18,630 --> 01:18:16,640
a 34 orbit rendezvous which takes about

1520
01:18:20,870 --> 01:18:18,640
two days to get there so

1521
01:18:22,790 --> 01:18:20,880
it really just comes down to really

1522
01:18:24,229 --> 01:18:22,800
understanding the capabilities of the

1523
01:18:26,870 --> 01:18:24,239
spacecraft

1524
01:18:28,390 --> 01:18:26,880
and once you get that you can try to to

1525
01:18:30,229 --> 01:18:28,400
narrow down there are there are also a

1526
01:18:32,470 --> 01:18:30,239
lot of other things that come into play

1527
01:18:33,990 --> 01:18:32,480
when you plot out how long it's going to

1528
01:18:36,550 --> 01:18:34,000
take you to get there

1529
01:18:38,229 --> 01:18:36,560
um typically the shortest that a dragon

1530
01:18:39,669 --> 01:18:38,239
spacecraft will be able to make it to

1531
01:18:41,669 --> 01:18:39,679
the space station is going to be about

1532
01:18:43,669 --> 01:18:41,679
six to eight hours right now

1533
01:18:45,510 --> 01:18:43,679
but again has to be

1534
01:18:47,750 --> 01:18:45,520
at a very specific time with the space

1535
01:18:49,110 --> 01:18:47,760
station at a very specific place and if

1536
01:18:51,189 --> 01:18:49,120
it's any longer than that we'll

1537
01:18:53,430 --> 01:18:51,199
typically extend that out just to make

1538
01:18:55,750 --> 01:18:53,440
sure that the crew has time to sleep and

1539
01:18:58,470 --> 01:18:55,760
we're not trying to keep them up for

1540
01:19:00,470 --> 01:18:58,480
you know 12 to 14 hours straight before

1541
01:19:02,390 --> 01:19:00,480
they try to dock a spacecraft to the

1542
01:19:03,910 --> 01:19:02,400
space station

1543
01:19:07,110 --> 01:19:03,920
all right this next one

1544
01:19:08,470 --> 01:19:07,120
asks how do you make oxygen on the space

1545
01:19:10,070 --> 01:19:08,480
station that's a great question i

1546
01:19:12,630 --> 01:19:10,080
mentioned that a little bit earlier that

1547
01:19:15,830 --> 01:19:12,640
we're able to recycle a lot of the the

1548
01:19:18,070 --> 01:19:15,840
life support systems uh we make oxygen

1549
01:19:20,470 --> 01:19:18,080
through a process called electrolysis

1550
01:19:23,189 --> 01:19:20,480
and that's where you basically take a

1551
01:19:25,189 --> 01:19:23,199
water molecule and you split it use

1552
01:19:28,070 --> 01:19:25,199
electricity and you separate it into its

1553
01:19:29,910 --> 01:19:28,080
parts water is made up of hydrogen and

1554
01:19:32,149 --> 01:19:29,920
oxygen h2o

1555
01:19:35,350 --> 01:19:32,159
and you can either take that excess

1556
01:19:37,030 --> 01:19:35,360
hydrogen and vent it off board or

1557
01:19:38,709 --> 01:19:37,040
you can put it through a different

1558
01:19:41,110 --> 01:19:38,719
process we have a technology

1559
01:19:42,550 --> 01:19:41,120
demonstration on board called sabati a

1560
01:19:44,630 --> 01:19:42,560
which takes

1561
01:19:45,990 --> 01:19:44,640
the excess hydrogen from when we make

1562
01:19:48,390 --> 01:19:46,000
oxygen by

1563
01:19:52,149 --> 01:19:48,400
separating the water molecules and you

1564
01:19:53,750 --> 01:19:52,159
combine it with co2 carbon dioxide that

1565
01:19:55,669 --> 01:19:53,760
gets scrubbed out of the air the

1566
01:19:57,590 --> 01:19:55,679
astronauts are exhaling

1567
01:19:59,750 --> 01:19:57,600
and if you take that excess hydrogen and

1568
01:20:02,790 --> 01:19:59,760
combine it with co2 you can make more

1569
01:20:04,149 --> 01:20:02,800
h2o and so the goal is to eventually get

1570
01:20:06,950 --> 01:20:04,159
to a point where you have what's called

1571
01:20:09,350 --> 01:20:06,960
a closed loop life support system where

1572
01:20:10,709 --> 01:20:09,360
you're able to just kind of constantly

1573
01:20:12,470 --> 01:20:10,719
cycle through

1574
01:20:14,470 --> 01:20:12,480
all of your breathing gases all of your

1575
01:20:15,990 --> 01:20:14,480
water that you're launching

1576
01:20:17,430 --> 01:20:16,000
so you don't have to launch a bunch of

1577
01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:17,440
reserves

1578
01:20:21,270 --> 01:20:19,199
we're still perfecting a lot of those

1579
01:20:22,790 --> 01:20:21,280
technologies that's really why the

1580
01:20:24,790 --> 01:20:22,800
international space station is so

1581
01:20:27,990 --> 01:20:24,800
important because we can do that just

1582
01:20:29,350 --> 01:20:28,000
250 miles above our heads and really

1583
01:20:31,750 --> 01:20:29,360
make sure that we understand those

1584
01:20:33,590 --> 01:20:31,760
technologies very well before we start

1585
01:20:35,750 --> 01:20:33,600
sending crew members to the moon

1586
01:20:37,110 --> 01:20:35,760
eventually onto mars where

1587
01:20:39,910 --> 01:20:37,120
when you're going to mars you're talking

1588
01:20:41,750 --> 01:20:39,920
about about a three year round trip and

1589
01:20:45,430 --> 01:20:41,760
you have to make absolute sure that all

1590
01:20:49,830 --> 01:20:47,830
um our next question asks which docking

1591
01:20:51,510 --> 01:20:49,840
port on the space station are they going

1592
01:20:53,590 --> 01:20:51,520
to dock to they are headed for the

1593
01:20:56,310 --> 01:20:53,600
rasviet module it's also known as mini

1594
01:20:58,870 --> 01:20:56,320
research module number one and it's on

1595
01:21:00,629 --> 01:20:58,880
the earth-facing side of the zarya the

1596
01:21:03,910 --> 01:21:00,639
functional cargo block module on the

1597
01:21:05,669 --> 01:21:03,920
russian segment that's the only one open

1598
01:21:07,430 --> 01:21:05,679
on the space station right now you can

1599
01:21:09,910 --> 01:21:07,440
see what it's going to look like a

1600
01:21:12,310 --> 01:21:09,920
little bit later this morning the soyuz

1601
01:21:13,830 --> 01:21:12,320
ms-18 with the arrow there

1602
01:21:14,950 --> 01:21:13,840
it's not there yet but that's what it's

1603
01:21:16,950 --> 01:21:14,960
going to look like and that's the

1604
01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:16,960
rossviet port that you can see it

1605
01:21:24,390 --> 01:21:22,310
our next question comes from shane i

1606
01:21:26,229 --> 01:21:24,400
want to know how fast are they traveling

1607
01:21:27,270 --> 01:21:26,239
roughly right now so right now they're

1608
01:21:29,990 --> 01:21:27,280
traveling

1609
01:21:31,910 --> 01:21:30,000
at about 17 000 miles an hour a little

1610
01:21:32,629 --> 01:21:31,920
bit over

1611
01:21:34,390 --> 01:21:32,639
but

1612
01:21:36,870 --> 01:21:34,400
they're essentially going orbital

1613
01:21:40,070 --> 01:21:36,880
velocity so at the altitude they're at i

1614
01:21:41,669 --> 01:21:40,080
will start out at about 16 700 miles an

1615
01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:41,679
hour or so and then they'll continue to

1616
01:21:46,790 --> 01:21:44,159
increase their speed through a series of

1617
01:21:48,390 --> 01:21:46,800
what's called delta velocity burns by

1618
01:21:50,550 --> 01:21:48,400
increasing their speed they're able to

1619
01:21:52,950 --> 01:21:50,560
raise their orbit until they're roughly

1620
01:21:54,310 --> 01:21:52,960
on the exact same orbital

1621
01:21:56,629 --> 01:21:54,320
height and trajectory as the

1622
01:21:59,430 --> 01:21:56,639
international space station which itself

1623
01:22:01,669 --> 01:21:59,440
is about 260 miles over the earth right

1624
01:22:03,590 --> 01:22:01,679
now by that point they'll be traveling

1625
01:22:07,430 --> 01:22:03,600
closer to about 17

1626
01:22:12,390 --> 01:22:09,990
our next question is who will then be

1627
01:22:14,470 --> 01:22:12,400
the next iss commander who's the next

1628
01:22:15,750 --> 01:22:14,480
space station commander that's a great

1629
01:22:17,830 --> 01:22:15,760
question

1630
01:22:19,669 --> 01:22:17,840
so right now on board

1631
01:22:22,709 --> 01:22:19,679
the the space station

1632
01:22:25,750 --> 01:22:22,719
it's sergey or sergey rizhikov

1633
01:22:27,750 --> 01:22:25,760
he's actually going to hand off command

1634
01:22:28,950 --> 01:22:27,760
to shannon walker one of the crew one

1635
01:22:31,590 --> 01:22:28,960
astronauts

1636
01:22:33,510 --> 01:22:31,600
uh just about a week from now just

1637
01:22:35,590 --> 01:22:33,520
before he comes home along with sergey

1638
01:22:37,270 --> 01:22:35,600
kuch fairkoff and

1639
01:22:39,270 --> 01:22:37,280
kate rubens

1640
01:22:40,790 --> 01:22:39,280
and so he's going to be handing off to

1641
01:22:42,950 --> 01:22:40,800
shanna walker she's on the right side of

1642
01:22:45,350 --> 01:22:42,960
this picture in the front row and she'll

1643
01:22:47,910 --> 01:22:45,360
be the commander for a couple of days

1644
01:22:50,310 --> 01:22:47,920
until the crew 2 mission launches to the

1645
01:22:51,750 --> 01:22:50,320
space station at which point she will be

1646
01:22:54,310 --> 01:22:51,760
handing off to

1647
01:22:56,709 --> 01:22:54,320
aki hoshide from the japan aerospace

1648
01:22:58,870 --> 01:22:56,719
exploration agency and then he'll be the

1649
01:23:01,110 --> 01:22:58,880
commander for several months during

1650
01:23:03,830 --> 01:23:01,120
expedition 65

1651
01:23:05,750 --> 01:23:03,840
and then towards the end of that flight

1652
01:23:07,669 --> 01:23:05,760
he'll hand off to

1653
01:23:10,070 --> 01:23:07,679
tomorrow pesquet of the european space

1654
01:23:12,470 --> 01:23:10,080
agency who will be the commander

1655
01:23:17,189 --> 01:23:12,480
for a couple of weeks at the very end of

1656
01:23:23,189 --> 01:23:20,390
all right our next question asked

1657
01:23:24,470 --> 01:23:23,199
why do russian rockets launch from

1658
01:23:26,229 --> 01:23:24,480
kazakhstan

1659
01:23:28,070 --> 01:23:26,239
uh that's a great question and it goes

1660
01:23:30,470 --> 01:23:28,080
back to the very beginning of the

1661
01:23:31,750 --> 01:23:30,480
russian space program the very early

1662
01:23:33,830 --> 01:23:31,760
days

1663
01:23:35,910 --> 01:23:33,840
when the

1664
01:23:37,830 --> 01:23:35,920
space program was starting up i'm going

1665
01:23:46,950 --> 01:23:37,840
to cut that off and we are going to some

1666
01:23:46,960 --> 01:24:12,450
thank now

[Music]

1668
01:24:40,229 --> 01:24:37,830
and that was our first replay that

1669
01:24:42,709 --> 01:24:40,239
launched taking place right on time at 7

1670
01:24:45,030 --> 01:24:42,719
42 and 41 seconds gmt

1671
01:24:47,030 --> 01:24:45,040

so

1675
01:26:25,189 --> 01:26:22,550
and that was replay two again we're

1676
01:26:26,709 --> 01:26:25,199
expecting four of these launch replays

1677
01:26:29,510 --> 01:26:26,719
for you this morning

1678
01:26:32,470 --> 01:26:29,520

[Music]

1684
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:10,820

[Music]

1688
01:29:11,990 --> 01:29:09,669

01:29:26,550 --> 01:29:24,070
flawless ride to orbit the crew

1693
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:26,560
continuing to orb the earth this time

1694
01:29:40,570 --> 01:29:56,149
[Music]

1695
01:30:00,790 --> 01:29:58,229
all right and so that was our final

1696
01:30:03,590 --> 01:30:00,800
launch replay so we are going to bring a

1697
01:30:05,590 --> 01:30:03,600
close to our launch coverage

1698
01:30:07,510 --> 01:30:05,600
at this time the crew continuing their

1699
01:30:09,189 --> 01:30:07,520
ride uphill they're about seven minutes

1700
01:30:11,110 --> 01:30:09,199
away from their first major burn to

1701
01:30:12,390 --> 01:30:11,120
start catching up with the international

1702
01:30:15,189 --> 01:30:12,400
space station

1703
01:30:17,510 --> 01:30:15,199
and as long as everything goes well with

1704
01:30:19,510 --> 01:30:17,520
this and the

1705
01:30:20,629 --> 01:30:19,520
following burns we're looking at a

1706
01:30:23,270 --> 01:30:20,639
docking

1707
01:30:24,149 --> 01:30:23,280
just about two hours and 52 minutes from

1708
01:30:25,350 --> 01:30:24,159
now

1709
01:30:27,510 --> 01:30:25,360
and so

1710
01:30:32,790 --> 01:30:27,520
run through our continuing coverage for

1711
01:30:36,310 --> 01:30:34,310
and so we'll go off the air for a little

1712
01:30:39,430 --> 01:30:36,320
bit we'll be back for docking coverage

1713
01:30:43,110 --> 01:30:39,440
all these times central u.s time at 5 15

1714
01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:43,120
a.m and we expect docking at about 607

1715
01:30:50,229 --> 01:30:48,560
a.m central time or 1107 a.m or 1107 gmt

1716
01:30:52,870 --> 01:30:50,239
following that we'll have a video file

1717
01:30:54,790 --> 01:30:52,880
with all of the best launch feeds uh

1718
01:30:56,709 --> 01:30:54,800
giving you some replays while we wait

1719
01:30:58,790 --> 01:30:56,719
for the hatch opening we'll come back

1720
01:31:00,870 --> 01:30:58,800
live in the air at 7 30 a.m central

1721
01:31:04,149 --> 01:31:00,880
we're tracking to a hatch opening right

1722
01:31:06,550 --> 01:31:04,159
around 8 a.m central time and then we'll

1723
01:31:08,310 --> 01:31:06,560
wrap up the day with one final video

1724
01:31:11,030 --> 01:31:08,320
file giving you the highlights from

1725
01:31:12,790 --> 01:31:11,040
everything docking hatch opening

1726
01:31:14,550 --> 01:31:12,800
everything that unfolded today

1727
01:31:17,189 --> 01:31:14,560
delivering three new crew members to the

1728
01:31:19,510 --> 01:31:17,199
space station so

1729
01:31:21,910 --> 01:31:19,520
that'll do it for right now keep sending

1730
01:31:23,510 --> 01:31:21,920
in those questions using the hashtag ask

1731
01:31:24,390 --> 01:31:23,520
nasa we'll get through a whole bunch

1732
01:31:26,149 --> 01:31:24,400
more

1733
01:31:28,229 --> 01:31:26,159
once we get to our rendezvous and

1734
01:31:30,390 --> 01:31:28,239
docking show i do want to thank you for

1735
01:31:31,990 --> 01:31:30,400
tuning in staying up late or waking up

1736
01:31:34,629 --> 01:31:32,000
early to

1737
01:31:36,870 --> 01:31:34,639
catch three crew members flying to the

1738
01:31:39,110 --> 01:31:36,880
international space station we'll be

1739
01:31:42,070 --> 01:31:39,120
back in just a little while to show you

1740
01:31:45,110 --> 01:31:42,080
docking live as we get ready to increase

1741
01:31:47,030 --> 01:31:45,120
the population on station from seven all

1742
01:31:48,790 --> 01:31:47,040
the way up to ten

1743
01:31:49,910 --> 01:31:48,800
so a lot more exciting stuff still to

1744
01:31:51,590 --> 01:31:49,920
come

1745
01:31:54,070 --> 01:31:51,600

we'll be back in just a couple hours

1747
01:32:09,590 --> 01:32:07,590
and i have a feather

1748
01:32:11,270 --> 01:32:09,600
in my right hand a hammer

1749
01:32:12,870 --> 01:32:11,280
i guess one of the reasons

1750
01:32:15,430 --> 01:32:12,880
we got here today was because of a

1751
01:32:17,830 --> 01:32:15,440
gentleman named galileo a long time ago

1752
01:32:20,390 --> 01:32:17,840
who made a rather significant discovery

1753
01:32:21,990 --> 01:32:20,400
about falling objects in gravity fields

1754
01:32:23,669 --> 01:32:22,000
and we thought that
