1
00:00:04,150 --> 00:00:01,990
professionals and dragon technicians to

2
00:00:05,749 --> 00:00:04,160
secure the capsule and get the crew out

3
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:05,759
quickly and safely

4
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:08,160
and our fun fist history fact for this

5
00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:10,080
return this will be the first night

6
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:12,080
splashdown of a u.s crude spacecraft

7
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:14,320
since apollo 8's pre-dawn return in the

8
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:17,760
pacific ocean on december 27 1968 with

9
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:20,320
nasa astronauts frank gorman gem level

10
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:22,960
and bill anders

11
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:24,960
so in the next phase of the mission

12
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:27,519
dragon has a series of steps to complete

13
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:30,000
before returning mike victor shannon and

14
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:32,559
soichi home first dragon will maneuver

15
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:33,760
to the correct

16
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:35,040
attitude

17
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:37,360
and then start to separate its claw then

18
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:39,760
the jettison is trunk which is the

19
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:41,920
cylindrical unpressurized part of the

20
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:44,239
spacecraft the trunk is currently

21
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,480
connected to the aft or bottom section

22
00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:48,320
of the dragon capsule where the heat

23
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:51,039
shield is located so in order to expose

24
00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:52,640
the heat shield and get the vehicle

25
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,559
ready for atmospheric re-entry we'll

26
00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:56,079
jettison the trunk

27
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:57,520
from there the spacecraft will use its

28
00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:59,359
forward thrusters to perform a deorbit

29
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:00,879
burn which will put dragon on a

30
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,600
trajectory to return to earth the burn

31
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:05,920
will last more than 16 minutes once it

32
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,479
starts and to prepare for these upcoming

33
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:10,320
events right now the dragon capsule is

34
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,880
doing a number of things autonomously

35
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:14,720
it's isolating the thermal control

36
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,880
system fluid loops from the radiator

37
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:18,720
this system is what will help keep the

38
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:21,280
internal temperature of dragon uh for uh

39
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:23,920
for mike victor shannon and suici

40
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:26,640
nice and cool during re-entry a dragon

41
00:01:30,789 --> 00:01:28,400
is also initiating separation of the

42
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:30,799
claw mechanism which will terminate data

43
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:32,799
power and fluid connections between the

44
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,520
capsule and the trunk

45
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:37,439
and i'm receiving information that claw

46
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:40,560
separation is currently occurring

47
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,200
right on time and that was scheduled for

48
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:45,840
10 57 pacific so

49
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:47,920
right on time for that claw separation

50
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:50,399
coming up next will be trunk separation

51
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,350
and i'm sure we will hear a clock call

52
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:01,439
out to the crew shortly about our claw

53
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,949
yeah over the next hour

54
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:10,720
um there's going to be a lot of events

55
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:12,879
happening in order to get the dragon

56
00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:15,200
spacecraft in spacex we showed nominal

57
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:24,229
and spacex uh from resilience we see the

58
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:26,720
same and

59
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,720
you could definitely feel the claw step

60
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,319
as well as hear it and the same for

61
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,000
trunk jettison uh

62
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:34,080
was very obvious

63
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,519
and through the centerline cameras you

64
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:37,440
could definitely see a lot of the debris

65
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:42,309
hey thanks resilience for that thorough

66
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:48,949
cool so there's some report outs from

67
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,080
the crew about what they felt when the

68
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,400
claw had separated as well as the trunk

69
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:56,319
as it was jettisoned and we did get

70
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:57,840
confirmation that both occurred

71
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:00,080
nominally meaning that telemetry is

72
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:02,959
looking good the nitrox system is primed

73
00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:05,360
for cabin and suit cooling and the heat

74
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:07,599
shield is exposed ready for atmospheric

75
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:08,800
re-entry

76
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:10,480
up next we have the final steps that

77
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,000
dragon will perform

78
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:14,959
prior to re-entry the slew or maneuver

79
00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:17,599
to de-orbit burn attitude and a deep

80
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,280
orbit burn itself

81
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:21,599
this is again the last time that the

82
00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:23,920
four dracos which are the four thrusters

83
00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:26,159
located at the top of the vehicle uh the

84
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:28,239
last time that they will ignite the dew

85
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,840
orbit burn will place dragon on a

86
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:31,920
precise trajectory to return to the

87
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:33,840
splashdown zone off the coast of panama

88
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,080
city florida and will last a bit more

89
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:38,560
than 66. it looks like we're on to

90
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:39,760
nominal comms for the rest of the

91
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:52,630
that's good news uh thanks for watching

92
00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,630
and good news indeed as we were

93
00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:56,319
mentioning we're tracking some issues

94
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,000
with one of the tdrs tracking data and

95
00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:00,720
relay satellite system satellites that

96
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:02,080
was preventing us from getting some

97
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,239
communication from the vehicle at

98
00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,400
certain points in their orbit however

99
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:08,239
that seems to have cleared up and next

100
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:10,879
we are looking for deorbit burn to begin

101
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:13,120
in just about three minutes as we

102
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:16,000
mentioned that should last almost 16 and

103
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:17,680
a half minutes and that is the breaking

104
00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:20,560
maneuver that's going to drop dragon out

105
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:22,479
of earth orbit and bring them back into

106
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,080
the atmosphere so things are really

107
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:26,960
speeding up with that nominal claw

108
00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:29,600
separation and trunk jettison

109
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:31,040
and they reported some similar things

110
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:32,960
that we heard from bob bankin and doug

111
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:35,040
hurley mentioning that it was something

112
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,880
you could definitely feel jettisoning

113
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:38,000
that trunk

114
00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:41,040
so very interesting and uh and good news

115
00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:44,639
that everything still continues to uh

116
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,960
to look well and things look pretty good

117
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:48,960
on earth here too this is a view from

118
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:51,120
the go navigator recovery ship and off

119
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:54,160
to the left that is indeed a dolphin who

120
00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:56,639
is checking out the operations as go

121
00:05:02,710 --> 00:04:59,759
navigator begins to move into place uh

122
00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:02,720
to recover crude or crew dragon once

123
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:05,039
they splash down tonight so

124
00:05:08,629 --> 00:05:07,120
uh beautiful things in space and on

125
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:08,639
earth it seems like we're not the only

126
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:11,360
ones interested in the astronauts return

127
00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:14,320
maybe aside from medical staff they

128
00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:16,240
might get a greeting from some marine

129
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:18,080
animals as well that is

130
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:20,240
a very very cool picture of those

131
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:21,840
dolphins

132
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:24,320
again just a few minutes away from the

133
00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:28,800
beginning of that 16 minute deorbit burn

134
00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:31,039
we just had trunk separation and a

135
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:32,479
couple of things about the trunk

136
00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:35,520
separation earlier in the night we

137
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:39,199
formed a prop wasting burn to get rid of

138
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:41,440
unneeded propellants we shed about

139
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:44,560
80 to 90 kilograms worth of propellant

140
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:49,039
and to lighten the load that dragon will

141
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:50,960
be experiencing when it comes back to

142
00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:53,199
earth and this is

143
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:55,600
an incredible shot right now we have of

144
00:06:02,309 --> 00:05:58,639
the separation uh that is crew dragon

145
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:02,319
and it's trunk now separate flying free

146
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,400
and we are just moments away from

147
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:06,800
hearing the beginning of the deorbit

148
00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:12,390
and as as i was talking the um

149
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:14,479
the trunk itself and as well as the

150
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,720
propellant used in this deorbit burn

151
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:18,880
once all is said and done we'll be

152
00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:21,440
shedding about 6 000 pounds

153
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:23,840
of mass from the dragon spacecraft so

154
00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:26,800
starting off at around 27 000 pounds all

155
00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:29,759
going down to about 21 000 pounds so

156
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:32,479
those help to again lessen the load that

157
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:36,000
the parachutes will have to

158
00:06:41,189 --> 00:06:38,160
sort of carry when they deploy and

159
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:41,199
eventually slow down the spacecraft

160
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,800
this is just absolutely an incredible

161
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:44,639
view and this is coming to us from the

162
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,880
international space station so they do

163
00:06:49,589 --> 00:06:48,560
still have a little bit of an eye on

164
00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:49,599
dragon

165
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:53,599
period following the deorbit burn

166
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:56,960
completion we hope to have

167
00:07:01,430 --> 00:07:00,240
infrared imagery thanks to the wv57

168
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,440
aircraft

169
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:03,360
that has departed from ellington and is

170
00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:05,440
in the proper location and they have

171
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:07,759
thermal imagery

172
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,120
systems aboard

173
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:11,759
fingers crossed we get some visuals of

174
00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:13,360
crude dragon re-entering the earth's

175
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:14,720
atmosphere

176
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:16,880
and right on time we also have the start

177
00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:18,880
of the deorbit burn as we mentioned this

178
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:22,479
should last 16 minutes 26 seconds so

179
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,000
this has fully committed a crew dragon

180
00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:28,319
to coming home so just within the last

181
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:30,479
10 minutes crew dragon jettisoned its

182
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:32,880
trunk and initiated this deorbit burn

183
00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:35,440
just a minute ago

184
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:37,039
and like we mentioned earlier this

185
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:40,240
deorbit burn is the last time those four

186
00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:43,199
forward draco thrusters will fire dragon

187
00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:44,879
resilience has not yet entered the

188
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:47,280
earth's atmosphere this deorbit burn is

189
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:49,680
what will line the vehicle up and put it

190
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:52,240
on a final trajectory to the landing

191
00:07:57,189 --> 00:07:54,560
site in the gulf of mexico just off the

192
00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:57,199
coast of panama city florida there is a

193
00:08:02,390 --> 00:07:59,120
beautiful shot of the crew inside that

194
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:02,400
is commander mike hopkins closes closest

195
00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:05,440
to your screen and next to him is

196
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:06,879
victor glover

197
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:12,710
and on the screens that those are the

198
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:15,280
thrusters firing uh as we mentioned we

199
00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:16,800
are in the midst of the de-orbit burn

200
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,280
right now and they are monitoring so

201
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:21,599
this is an amazing opportunity to get to

202
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,199
see the inside of the cabin at this

203
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:25,120
point we just had that view from the

204
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,800
international space station of crew

205
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:28,879
dragon in the trunk having recently

206
00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:31,360
separated and this is uh these are the

207
00:08:35,909 --> 00:08:33,279
four crew members who are currently

208
00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:35,919
inside and they're committed to coming

209
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:38,159
home

210
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,680
they're using the screens to keep tabs

211
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,919
on the burn duration uh the draco

212
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:43,839
thrusters firing and trajectory details

213
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:46,959
like entry angle capsule perigee and how

214
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:48,880
much distance remaining until de-orbit

215
00:08:53,829 --> 00:08:52,000
burn termination a dragon is flying

216
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:53,839
itself so all the crew has to do is stay

217
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:55,440
strapped in their seats

218
00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:57,440
and enjoy the flight

219
00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:59,120
and they're just keeping tabs on things

220
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:00,480
using those

221
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:12,630
so it's been about two minutes since the

222
00:09:19,509 --> 00:09:15,600
burn began we are in the entry descent

223
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:22,230
this is the largest burn of the evening

224
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:23,839
and as we mentioned this really commits

225
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:25,920
us to splashing down

226
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:29,360
specifically at that panama city

227
00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,320
location just off the coast

228
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:34,480
and we were monitoring weather

229
00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,040
all the way until the point of deorbit

230
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,360
burn because uh you know

231
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:41,120
in the event that the weather shifted or

232
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:42,959
we needed to potentially target a

233
00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:45,040
different site uh this d orbit burn

234
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:47,440
wouldn't have begun but now uh likely

235
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:49,519
mentioned we are committed and we'll be

236
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,480
um

237
00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:52,720
looking forward to the splashdown of not

238
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:54,399
only the capsule but the crew members as

239
00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:00,310
and that deorbit burn should end at 11

240
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:04,079
19 p.m pacific time uh following that we

241
00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:06,480
will close the nose cone a few minutes

242
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,240
later the nose cone is open right now

243
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,640
because as you can see in those uh

244
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:12,640
screens those four

245
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:14,480
thrusters firing are the four bulkhead

246
00:10:17,829 --> 00:10:16,000
thrusters and they are located

247
00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,839
underneath the nose cone so we leave the

248
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:19,680
nose cone open right now

249
00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:22,240
for the 16 and a half minute burn and we

250
00:10:37,269 --> 00:10:34,870
three and a half minutes into the burn

251
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:37,279
continuing to monitor the data and

252
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:39,120
continuing to get these great views from

253
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:44,870
we won't keep these views for the entire

254
00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:47,279
return home as we mentioned once crew

255
00:10:51,190 --> 00:10:49,279
dragon really begins its entry into the

256
00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:51,200
earth's atmosphere we anticipate a loss

257
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:53,360
of signal for about seven minutes where

258
00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:55,839
we won't be able to receive telemetry or

259
00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:59,040
data or video audio from the

260
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:01,760
crew dragon vehicle however crew dragon

261
00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:04,399
is entirely autonomous flying itself uh

262
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:06,079
knows exactly what it needs and where it

263
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,480
needs to go and so hopefully at that

264
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:10,320
point the astronauts are just monitoring

265
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:11,440
as well

266
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:13,279
and the really the reason for that calms

267
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:15,760
blackout is because plasma builds up on

268
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:18,720
the outside of the capsule due to the uh

269
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:21,120
the speed at which the vehicle is

270
00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,440
re-entering the earth's atmosphere and

271
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:25,279
building up that heat to

272
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:28,240
around 3500 degrees fahrenheit outside

273
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:29,519
the capsule

274
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:30,959
so a very

275
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:32,800
very cool view right now on the left

276
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:34,480
you've got from the international space

277
00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,440
station crew dragon and its trunk and on

278
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:39,600
the right hand side the four astronauts

279
00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:41,200
who are inside

280
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:44,560
that small white dot preparing to return

281
00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:46,959
to earth

282
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:49,200
yeah the distance from the

283
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:51,120
trunk and

284
00:11:57,829 --> 00:11:55,519
the crew dragon vehicle is continuing to

285
00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:57,839
get larger and larger and the deep orbit

286
00:12:01,750 --> 00:11:59,600
burn um

287
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:01,760
does effectively what his name says um

288
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:04,000
we're taking the vehicle out of orbit

289
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:05,360
and lowering its

290
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:06,560
altitude

291
00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:08,560
until eventually you know we make its

292
00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:17,670
we're now five minutes into the orbit

293
00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:18,880
burn

294
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:25,110
crew still monitoring and teams here in

295
00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:26,560
mission control hawthorne still

296
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:58,150
this crew has been

297
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:00,560
in space for about six months their

298
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:02,000
journey started

299
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,720
on november 15th of last year and now

300
00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:06,800
really they're on their last section

301
00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:09,600
before they can return back to earth

302
00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:11,040
and get

303
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:30,310
now that the deorbit burn has started we

304
00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:32,240
really are less than an hour away from

305
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:34,639
splashing down we are expecting

306
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:37,040
splashdown to occur

307
00:14:09,910 --> 00:13:44,079
at 11 57 p.m pacific time 6 57 gmt so

308
00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:11,670
as we mentioned here on the earth side

309
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:13,040
of things

310
00:14:17,110 --> 00:14:15,279
everyone is in place on the go navigator

311
00:14:18,629 --> 00:14:17,120
vessel that needs to be there when the

312
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:18,639
crew arrives

313
00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:20,560
two fast boats will approach the vehicle

314
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,120
and ensure there are no toxic vapors

315
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:25,760
from those hypergolic fumes that may be

316
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:28,160
present after splashing down

317
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,320
they will also uh begin rigging the

318
00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:32,320
vehicle and prepare it for

319
00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:35,600
to be hoisted into the nest on go

320
00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:37,440
navigator

321
00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:39,279
but ahead of all of that we also have

322
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:41,920
the wb-57 aircraft from ellington field

323
00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:44,560
in houston texas that is

324
00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,839
in position and we will be awaiting

325
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:49,440
views from

326
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:52,320
the aircraft once uh crew dragon begins

327
00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:54,240
its re-entry into earth's atmosphere

328
00:14:59,990 --> 00:14:57,360
there's a thermal imaging camera

329
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:00,000
on the aircraft that we hope to

330
00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:09,430
and at the bottom of those touch screen

331
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,440
displays you'll notice some buttons

332
00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:13,360
really important functions like

333
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:16,399
shoot deploy or cutting the main shoots

334
00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:19,680
these have dedicated buttons for them

335
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:21,839
otherwise the team can you know use a

336
00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:24,240
number of views to monitor the mission

337
00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:32,629
hypergolic fuels or hypergolic

338
00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:35,519
propellants are pretty common for

339
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:38,399
space propellants they are one of their

340
00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,240
properties is they don't require an

341
00:15:44,230 --> 00:15:42,480
ignition source so once uh two

342
00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:44,240
components are combined typically a fuel

343
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:48,320
an oxidizer they will ignite um just by

344
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:50,800
being in contact with one another and it

345
00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:53,040
is great for you know

346
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:54,560
use in space but you know one of the

347
00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:56,959
downsizes uh they can be

348
00:16:01,110 --> 00:15:59,040
pretty toxic um

349
00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:01,120
to humans so that's why it's super

350
00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:03,680
important that when the spacecraft does

351
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:06,240
land the first fast boat the first thing

352
00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,160
one of the first things they do is

353
00:16:12,790 --> 00:16:10,320
perform a sniff test to make sure that

354
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:12,800
none of that toxic vapor is still in the

355
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:14,560
vicinity so that way the other personnel

356
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:17,120
can approach and continue with the rest

357
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:22,389
we're coming up on nine and a half

358
00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:24,880
minutes into this 16 and a half minute

359
00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:27,440
maneuver so approximately seven minutes

360
00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:29,600
left and everything is looking good

361
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:31,680
crews still monitoring those thrusters

362
00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:47,110
this is the final burn of the day crew

363
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:49,199
dragon as we said is now committed to

364
00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:51,360
splashing down off the coast of panama

365
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:01,110
and a reminder of the astronauts that

366
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:02,800
are coming home today

367
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:04,400
they're closest to the screen is mike

368
00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:06,480
hawkins he's the commander and to his

369
00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:09,199
right is victor glover the pilot

370
00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:11,280
to victor glover's right is shannon

371
00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:15,990
and to mike hawkins left we have soichi

372
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:18,240
naguchi an astronaut with the japan

373
00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:55,750
so close to your screen is crew dragon

374
00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:58,000
commander mike hopkins

375
00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:59,440
a little bit about him he was born in

376
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:01,440
lebanon missouri but

377
00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:03,440
grew up outside of rich richland

378
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:05,840
missouri he was selected as an astronaut

379
00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:08,480
by nasa in 2009.

380
00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:10,240
hopkins is a colonel in the united

381
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,240
states air force and holds degrees in

382
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,720
aerospace engineering he also flew on

383
00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:16,640
the russian soyuz as a member of the

384
00:18:24,390 --> 00:18:21,200
expedition 38 and 37 and 38 crew logging

385
00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:24,400
at the time 166 days in space he

386
00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:26,720
performed two spacewalks totaling almost

387
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,799
13 hours

388
00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:30,880
to change out a degraded pump module on

389
00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:32,720
the space station uh he also has

390
00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:35,200
military experience including testing

391
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,039
the c17 and c130 aircraft

392
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:41,440
and those two spacewalks were from his

393
00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:43,760
previous mission he added to those while

394
00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:45,039
he was on the international space

395
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:46,799
station during this flight added a

396
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:48,640
couple more actually

397
00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:51,200
and the deorbit burn we are just about

398
00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,799
four and a half minutes away from that

399
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:54,960
being complete things are still looking

400
00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:56,320
good and as a reminder this is a

401
00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:58,240
breaking maneuver so crew dragon is

402
00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:00,400
firing those thrusters into the same

403
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,640
direction that it was traveling uh this

404
00:19:48,070 --> 00:19:04,720
should slow crew dragon down enough to

405
00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:51,350
so we are waiting on the deorbit burn to

406
00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:52,799
end and that should happen at

407
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:54,559
approximately 11

408
00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:57,280
19 p.m pacific time just a few minutes

409
00:20:00,070 --> 00:19:58,240
from now

410
00:20:01,190 --> 00:20:00,080
the astronauts on board are continuing

411
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:01,200
to monitor

412
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:04,480
the burns of the four ford

413
00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:14,710
things have really picked up in the last

414
00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:16,640
15 minutes or so

415
00:20:20,950 --> 00:20:17,840
the crew

416
00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:20,960
we had claw separation from the

417
00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:22,960
trunk and the

418
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:24,799
capsule itself

419
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:27,120
the claw connecting those

420
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:29,280
thermal control or the thermal and

421
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:31,120
avionics and

422
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:33,120
data telemetry information between the

423
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:35,679
crew capsule and the trunk and we had

424
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:37,760
trunk jettison and some amazing shots

425
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:38,960
there for a moment from the

426
00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:41,600
international speed station of both the

427
00:20:46,789 --> 00:20:44,480
trunk and crew dragon flying separately

428
00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:46,799
of one another

429
00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:50,000
and now we are in this deorbit burn

430
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:52,080
now 14 minutes in

431
00:20:55,909 --> 00:20:53,280
meaning we only have about two and a

432
00:20:57,510 --> 00:20:55,919
half minutes left

433
00:20:59,430 --> 00:20:57,520
on this deorbit burn committing them to

434
00:21:02,230 --> 00:20:59,440
coming home to panama city or off the

435
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:02,240
coast of panama city florida

436
00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,559
we are looking at splashdown

437
00:21:11,669 --> 00:21:06,240
at about

438
00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:11,679
uh 11 57 p.m pacific time so 40 minutes

439
00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:13,919
from now we will have these crew one

440
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:21,830
and since that

441
00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:24,159
claw separation and jettison of the

442
00:21:28,149 --> 00:21:26,080
trunk the dragon spacecraft is running

443
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:28,159
on internal battery power so everything

444
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:29,760
that you see on screen

445
00:21:33,830 --> 00:21:31,600
is powered by

446
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:33,840
batteries on the capsule itself

447
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:36,080
and it's no longer drawing power from

448
00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:42,870
as you can see the astronauts still have

449
00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:45,679
their visors up on their suits

450
00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:47,360
that is fine for right now and they will

451
00:21:51,029 --> 00:21:49,520
need to lower those visors once it comes

452
00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:51,039
time for the

453
00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:52,960
re-entry of the capsule into the

454
00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:54,640
atmosphere so this deorbit burn is not

455
00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:56,880
the reentry itself we don't have those

456
00:22:00,230 --> 00:21:58,400
extreme temperatures building up on the

457
00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:00,240
outside of the vehicle right now that's

458
00:22:06,149 --> 00:22:02,000
why we still have telemetry and

459
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:06,159
communications with the spacecraft

460
00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:07,760
but once we begin that re-entry they

461
00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:15,590
we're still tracking this deorbit burn

462
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:17,840
getting reports that the flight path

463
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,870
everything looking nominal for this burn

464
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:49,430
we should have about one minute left

465
00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:52,070
and this the orbit burn is a breaking

466
00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:55,840
maneuver um after this we're sort of

467
00:23:00,710 --> 00:22:58,720
done with um any major burns uh the

468
00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:00,720
majority of speed reduction will be done

469
00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:02,720
by the atmosphere of the earth and then

470
00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:04,320
after that the parachutes that will

471
00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:07,919
deploy on the dragon spacecraft so

472
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:09,679
again just a few seconds away from

473
00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:11,840
completing this you know long duration

474
00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:13,679
16-minute burn

475
00:23:20,789 --> 00:23:18,950
be answering the earth's atmosphere

476
00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:20,799
very shortly after that

477
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:22,720
and we are seconds away from that call

478
00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:24,880
out as you saw we lost video with the

479
00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:27,440
crew uh that was one of those tracked

480
00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:30,240
loss of certain spacex we show the orbit

481
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:31,600
burn is complete with nominal

482
00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,430
and spacex from resilience we copy all

483
00:23:51,669 --> 00:23:43,679
that's great news and we're following

484
00:23:56,230 --> 00:23:54,070
and that is great news the d-orbit burn

485
00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:56,240
completed successfully and now we're

486
00:24:00,870 --> 00:23:59,039
moving on to nose cone closure in the

487
00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:00,880
background right now dragon is currently

488
00:24:04,789 --> 00:24:03,440
inhibiting those ford bulkhead thrusters

489
00:24:07,269 --> 00:24:04,799
that we just used to complete the

490
00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:07,279
deorbit burn ensuring it's safe to latch

491
00:24:12,549 --> 00:24:10,080
the nose cone shut for re-entry also the

492
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:12,559
vehicle has initiated the nitrox suit

493
00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:14,880
purge this will help keep mike victor

494
00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:17,120
shannon and soichi cool and comfortable

495
00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:18,960
during the re-entry which is coming up

496
00:24:23,909 --> 00:24:21,360
in about 20 minutes and at this point

497
00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:23,919
the nose cone is closing and protecting

498
00:24:27,909 --> 00:24:26,080
the forward hatch for re-entry again the

499
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:27,919
our astronauts are using their screens

500
00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:30,480
to monitor the locking of the nose cone

501
00:24:41,269 --> 00:24:38,950
so we are standing by for confirmation

502
00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:41,279
of nose cone closure we needed to wait

503
00:24:45,430 --> 00:24:42,880
until this point because we were using

504
00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:45,440
those forward bulkhead draco thrusters

505
00:24:49,269 --> 00:24:46,799
underneath the nose cone to complete

506
00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:49,279
that deorbit burn we did hear nominal

507
00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:51,120
deorbit burns so things continue to move

508
00:24:54,549 --> 00:24:53,200
very smoothly for crew dragon resilience

509
00:24:57,669 --> 00:24:54,559
on its way home

510
00:24:59,669 --> 00:24:57,679
from the international space station so

511
00:25:09,269 --> 00:24:59,679
anticipated nose cone closure should

512
00:25:12,870 --> 00:25:11,029
so this view here is

513
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:12,880
mission control in

514
00:25:19,029 --> 00:25:16,400
hawthorne in california

515
00:25:21,430 --> 00:25:19,039
i have a whole team of folks supporting

516
00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:21,440
the astronauts return

517
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:24,000
we are expecting a planned communication

518
00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:25,760
blackout period

519
00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:29,360
at 11 43 p.m pacific time again that is

520
00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:31,600
when we have a ton of plasma buildup at

521
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:33,360
the bottom of the capsule it's going to

522
00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:34,480
start to interfere with some of the

523
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:37,520
communications but that is planned and

524
00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:39,440
should last for about seven and a half

525
00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:41,520
minutes at that time

526
00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:44,000
the dragon spacecraft will continue to

527
00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,320
steer and pilot itself towards the

528
00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:48,480
targeted landing site of off the coast

529
00:25:52,710 --> 00:25:50,400
of panama city until we get those

530
00:25:54,789 --> 00:25:52,720
communications back and once again can

531
00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:54,799
talk to the astronauts and we just heard

532
00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:56,640
a call that nose cone closure is about

533
00:26:01,909 --> 00:26:00,000
50 complete so that continues and we are

534
00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:01,919
tracking for that to be complete

535
00:26:07,269 --> 00:26:04,799
momentarily that nose cone protects the

536
00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:07,279
forward hatch that the astronauts use to

537
00:26:12,470 --> 00:26:10,559
ingress or enter and egress or exit the

538
00:26:13,990 --> 00:26:12,480
international space station

539
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:14,000
and so it's important that we are able

540
00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:16,799
to protect that area for potential

541
00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:20,240
future reuse of this capsule

542
00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:22,640
so we are standing by for confirmation

543
00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:24,960
that knows the nose cone has fully

544
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:26,000
closed

545
00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:27,840
the next major milestone we'll be

546
00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:30,960
looking for is the entry of the vehicle

547
00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:33,279
and and that anticipated loss of signal

548
00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:35,600
with the spacecraft entry of the vehicle

549
00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:38,640
should begin around 11 45 so about 23

550
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:40,960
minutes from now and

551
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:44,000
we will be tracking the vehicle its

552
00:26:52,549 --> 00:26:45,520
entire way back even though we don't

553
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:54,950
and as those vehicles uh the vehicle

554
00:26:58,470 --> 00:26:56,559
starts to make its way back to earth the

555
00:27:01,510 --> 00:26:58,480
astronauts on board should experience um

556
00:27:03,430 --> 00:27:01,520
a max a peak of three to five g's

557
00:27:12,070 --> 00:27:03,440
um similar to what they would experience

558
00:27:16,390 --> 00:27:14,230
and then the drone shoots will deploy

559
00:27:18,149 --> 00:27:16,400
and the main shoots will also deploy

560
00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:18,159
after that and then we can start to

561
00:27:25,750 --> 00:27:19,840
begin recovery operations in this

562
00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:27,590
we are standing by for information about

563
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:42,230
and the nose cone is closed

564
00:27:45,990 --> 00:27:43,990
the forward hatch now being protected

565
00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:46,000
and those four forward bulkhead draco

566
00:27:57,990 --> 00:27:55,029
so as we begin the second half of entry

567
00:28:00,149 --> 00:27:58,000
dragon is now beginning to flush nitrox

568
00:28:02,789 --> 00:28:00,159
into the cabin and continuing to top off

569
00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:02,799
mike victor shannon and soichi's suit

570
00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:05,039
with cold air again this is what will

571
00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:06,799
allow the cabin temperature to remain

572
00:28:12,389 --> 00:28:08,960
comfortable while external temperatures

573
00:28:14,870 --> 00:28:12,399
reach over 3500 degrees fahrenheit the

574
00:28:17,269 --> 00:28:14,880
heat shield is pointing forward

575
00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:17,279
the bottom so to speak of the capsule

576
00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:19,440
leading the capsule into the landing

577
00:28:25,029 --> 00:28:22,880
site and the suits themselves can detect

578
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:25,039
if they start to get too warm and will

579
00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:26,880
automatically start drawing in that

580
00:28:31,029 --> 00:28:28,960
nitrox again to keep the astronauts nice

581
00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:31,039
and cool all the way down until

582
00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:33,520
splashdown

583
00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:35,200
so we have some time until that next

584
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:37,840
major milestone as we discussed with the

585
00:28:42,070 --> 00:28:39,679
nosecone closed we'll be looking for

586
00:28:45,830 --> 00:28:42,080
that loss of signal that could come as

587
00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:45,840
early as 11 43 with our re-entry in

588
00:28:50,549 --> 00:28:48,720
earth's atmosphere at about 11 45 so 20

589
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:50,559
minutes from now

590
00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:53,360
mike victor shannon and soichi as we

591
00:28:58,470 --> 00:28:55,919
noticed they are monitoring the actions

592
00:29:01,190 --> 00:28:58,480
throughout this uh this procedure and

593
00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:01,200
they should be able to continue to do so

594
00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:03,360
throughout the splashdown of crude

595
00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:05,520
dragon they they shouldn't have to take

596
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:07,679
any action dragon is a fully autonomous

597
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:10,559
vehicle and so it can fly itself

598
00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:13,200
the crew can step in if necessary and

599
00:29:19,190 --> 00:29:15,520
command some movements of the vehicle

600
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:19,200
and some other actions but um things

601
00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:20,640
have moved very smoothly throughout the

602
00:29:27,029 --> 00:29:22,880
day so far so we are looking at an

603
00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:27,039
on-time splashdown at 11 57 pm gm or 11

604
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:28,960
57 pm pacific time off the coast of

605
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:31,279
panama city florida and hopefully along

606
00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:32,880
the way the astronauts will simply be

607
00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:34,880
able to monitor

608
00:29:39,669 --> 00:29:37,440
and we did get a weather report

609
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:39,679
just a few minutes ago and weather

610
00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:42,240
continues to look great excellent if i

611
00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:43,520
may say

612
00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:46,320
wind speeds are very low and the height

613
00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:48,000
of the waves are also very low there's

614
00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:50,720
no rain in the area so really ideal

615
00:29:54,470 --> 00:29:52,880
conditions for splash down and recovery

616
00:29:56,230 --> 00:29:54,480
of the crew

617
00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:56,240
once they splash down there are a couple

618
00:29:59,269 --> 00:29:58,080
of boats that will

619
00:30:02,230 --> 00:29:59,279
step in

620
00:30:03,909 --> 00:30:02,240
to make sure that the area is safe there

621
00:30:06,549 --> 00:30:03,919
they'll collect the shoots and then

622
00:30:07,909 --> 00:30:06,559
there is a larger recovery vessel the

623
00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:07,919
same vessel that sort of took the

624
00:30:11,990 --> 00:30:09,919
picture of the dolphin earlier that will

625
00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:12,000
come up and scoop dragon out of the

626
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:14,399
water hoist it using a crane on the back

627
00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:15,760
of the boat

628
00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:18,799
onto the deck and then we have a couple

629
00:30:23,190 --> 00:30:20,960
of checkout procedures to get through

630
00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:23,200
before we open up the hatch and medical

631
00:30:28,470 --> 00:30:25,760
staff can start to attend and evaluate

632
00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:28,480
how the astronauts are doing

633
00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:30,000
before they you know eventually get into

634
00:30:34,950 --> 00:30:31,279
the helicopter and start to make their

635
00:30:37,909 --> 00:30:36,470
and uh we

636
00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:37,919
as we've mentioned we were initially

637
00:30:41,909 --> 00:30:40,080
looking at returning these astronauts on

638
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:41,919
the wednesday the 28th having them

639
00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:43,200
undock from

640
00:30:47,029 --> 00:30:44,960
the international space station and then

641
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:47,039
we looked at friday uh

642
00:30:51,430 --> 00:30:49,440
april 30th so just yesterday

643
00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:51,440
and we were really waiting on perfect

644
00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:52,880
weather conditions which is what we're

645
00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:55,360
seeing tonight and so just a little bit

646
00:30:59,269 --> 00:30:57,600
more about exactly what that means and

647
00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:59,279
what those parameters are like for us

648
00:31:02,789 --> 00:31:00,640
when we're considering splashdown

649
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:02,799
locations we want the wind to be no

650
00:31:08,310 --> 00:31:05,039
greater than 10 and a half knots which

651
00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:08,320
is about 17 and .7 feet per second and

652
00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:10,080
the latest report that we have the wind

653
00:31:14,149 --> 00:31:12,960
is around two knots so very much within

654
00:31:16,870 --> 00:31:14,159
that range

655
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:16,880
we'll need no lightning within or no

656
00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:19,760
less than 10 miles away or no more

657
00:31:26,389 --> 00:31:22,000
dragon spacex we show nose cones secure

658
00:31:34,950 --> 00:31:28,310
and spacex from resilience we see the

659
00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:36,950
and good news being relayed to the crew

660
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:39,760
dragon crew that nose cone is closed uh

661
00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:41,120
but a little bit more about that

662
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:43,360
recovery criteria we were talking about

663
00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:46,080
lightning we don't want that within the

664
00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:48,799
10 mile radius and

665
00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:52,559
away or within the vehicle area as well

666
00:31:59,990 --> 00:31:57,120
as no more than 25 chance of rain

667
00:32:02,549 --> 00:32:00,000
we don't want any clouds lower than a

668
00:32:04,149 --> 00:32:02,559
500 feet which means that's the cloud

669
00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:04,159
ceiling we don't want that any lower

670
00:32:07,990 --> 00:32:06,080
than 500 feet

671
00:32:10,710 --> 00:32:08,000
and we need at least a mile of

672
00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:10,720
visibility for a night splashdown so

673
00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:12,799
everything is really lining up perfectly

674
00:32:17,830 --> 00:32:14,960
for splashdown tonight and we are we are

675
00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:17,840
continuing to watch crew dragon execute

676
00:32:22,710 --> 00:32:20,880
all of the pre-programmed maneuvers uh

677
00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:22,720
the next major one now with the nose

678
00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:24,720
cone secured and all of those hooks

679
00:32:31,509 --> 00:32:28,399
secured uh we'll be looking for really

680
00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:34,549
and once the dragon spacecraft

681
00:32:38,789 --> 00:32:36,720
splashes down where we typically try to

682
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:38,799
target about an hour before we can you

683
00:32:42,870 --> 00:32:41,120
know get in there recover the vessel and

684
00:32:45,269 --> 00:32:42,880
open up that hatch

685
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:45,279
but it'll depend it'll depend on you

686
00:32:49,830 --> 00:32:47,760
know if there's any hypergolic vapors in

687
00:32:51,430 --> 00:32:49,840
the air how fast the boats can get to

688
00:32:54,070 --> 00:32:51,440
the capsule but

689
00:32:55,509 --> 00:32:54,080
you know certainly expediency is of the

690
00:32:57,190 --> 00:32:55,519
utmo utmost

691
00:32:59,430 --> 00:32:57,200
urgency for us so

692
00:33:01,350 --> 00:32:59,440
you know the the recovery team will

693
00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:01,360
certainly try their best to make sure

694
00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:03,200
the astronauts are in good

695
00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:04,640
safe hands and on the boat eventually

696
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:06,559
the helicopter as soon as

697
00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:09,760
we can do so safely

698
00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:12,159
yeah and we hope to see the crew egress

699
00:33:16,310 --> 00:33:14,880
or exit dragon within an hour after

700
00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:16,320
splashing down

701
00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:18,240
which is really an impressive timeline

702
00:33:23,590 --> 00:33:21,120
and so um as soon as splashdown occurs

703
00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:23,600
those two fast boats will begin

704
00:33:27,830 --> 00:33:25,440
proceeding toward the vehicle they'll be

705
00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:27,840
sniffing for those hypergolic fuels

706
00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:29,760
we don't want any of those toxic fumes

707
00:33:34,470 --> 00:33:32,480
within the vicinity of the capsule and

708
00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:34,480
we will have one person

709
00:33:38,549 --> 00:33:36,799
go onto the capsule and begin to rig it

710
00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:38,559
or prepare it to be lifted out of the

711
00:33:43,590 --> 00:33:41,440
water and once the recovery ship backs

712
00:33:46,310 --> 00:33:43,600
up to the vehicle they can connect that

713
00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:46,320
to the ship and lift it onto the ship so

714
00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:48,640
and that all can happen within about a

715
00:33:52,470 --> 00:33:50,960
30 minute time frame

716
00:33:54,149 --> 00:33:52,480
and uh

717
00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:54,159
it's things are really moving quickly

718
00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:56,480
now with the the start of entry descent

719
00:33:59,909 --> 00:33:58,480
and landing a lot of milestones

720
00:34:10,550 --> 00:33:59,919
happening so we hope that you'll stay

721
00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:13,190
so the dragon spacecraft itself is uh

722
00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:14,800
now that it's completed it's deorbit

723
00:34:18,629 --> 00:34:17,040
burn its altitude it's starting to

724
00:34:20,069 --> 00:34:18,639
decrease and decrease and decrease where

725
00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:20,079
eventually it will start to meet the

726
00:34:24,790 --> 00:34:22,000
earth's atmosphere

727
00:34:27,829 --> 00:34:24,800
and once it does it's moving

728
00:34:30,149 --> 00:34:27,839
it was moving at over 17

729
00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:30,159
500 miles an hour and so we'll start to

730
00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:32,240
eventually slow it down all the way to

731
00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:34,560
16 miles an hour and that's generally

732
00:34:37,990 --> 00:34:37,040
the the rate at which the speed at which

733
00:34:39,349 --> 00:34:38,000
it will

734
00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:39,359
splash down

735
00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:40,960
in the ocean so

736
00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:41,919
much

737
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:48,720
hit the water at 17 500 miles an hour

738
00:34:53,829 --> 00:34:51,200
now if you look closely in this picture

739
00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:53,839
that is still crew dragon that view from

740
00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:56,000
the international space station as we

741
00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,839
mentioned crew dragon has just completed

742
00:35:02,710 --> 00:35:00,000
its deorbit burn but that doesn't mean

743
00:35:05,829 --> 00:35:02,720
that it's out of space yet so pre-dragon

744
00:35:09,109 --> 00:35:05,839
is still in a microgravity environment

745
00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:09,119
and and continues to slow and drop into

746
00:35:13,910 --> 00:35:11,280
earth's atmosphere that's when our

747
00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:13,920
reentry period will really begin

748
00:35:17,270 --> 00:35:15,520
when we expect to

749
00:35:19,510 --> 00:35:17,280
also have that loss of communications

750
00:35:20,790 --> 00:35:19,520
andy was just discussing

751
00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:20,800
but right now

752
00:35:25,109 --> 00:35:22,880
still very exciting to be able to have

753
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:25,119
this view from the international space

754
00:35:29,750 --> 00:35:27,200
station of crude dragon which just

755
00:35:31,750 --> 00:35:29,760
departed that command being sent six

756
00:35:34,150 --> 00:35:31,760
hours ago for those hooks to open on the

757
00:35:35,589 --> 00:35:34,160
nose cone uh and there's two short

758
00:35:38,150 --> 00:35:35,599
bursts to separate it from the

759
00:35:41,109 --> 00:35:38,160
international space station so a lot can

760
00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:41,119
happen in six hours as we've seen and a

761
00:35:45,589 --> 00:35:42,880
lot can also happen in 30 minutes

762
00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:45,599
because in that amount of time uh crew

763
00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:48,000
dragon will be back on earth

764
00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:49,200
and those uh

765
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:51,440
sort of quick movements that is not crew

766
00:35:55,829 --> 00:35:53,200
dragon there it is that is not crew

767
00:35:58,550 --> 00:35:55,839
dragon moving in space that is uh the

768
00:35:59,990 --> 00:35:58,560
camera repositioning itself so uh crew

769
00:36:02,710 --> 00:36:00,000
dragon right now is really on a

770
00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:02,720
controlled sort of slow descent back

771
00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:04,160
towards earth

772
00:36:07,109 --> 00:36:05,359
but it is

773
00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:07,119
quite cool that the international space

774
00:36:11,270 --> 00:36:09,520
station can still and has been tracking

775
00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:11,280
crew dragon all the way since it

776
00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:21,270
i'm taking a look at what the

777
00:36:25,030 --> 00:36:22,800
crew aboard the international space

778
00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:25,040
station is doing

779
00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:27,200
some of them are actually in their sleep

780
00:36:29,750 --> 00:36:28,480
period

781
00:36:32,150 --> 00:36:29,760
so

782
00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:32,160
they may be asleep right now and they

783
00:36:36,870 --> 00:36:35,119
they also maybe uh

784
00:36:38,470 --> 00:36:36,880
who knows up in the middle of the night

785
00:36:41,109 --> 00:36:38,480
and

786
00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:41,119
i'm sure some of them are very eager to

787
00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:42,800
make sure that they're um

788
00:36:51,589 --> 00:36:44,400
you know uh

789
00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:55,030
and go for injury

790
00:36:59,109 --> 00:36:57,119
everything continues to look awesome so

791
00:37:01,589 --> 00:36:59,119
no updates to timing no updates for

792
00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:01,599
systems weather is uh winds at three

793
00:37:07,670 --> 00:37:04,160
knots wave height remains less than one

794
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:07,680
foot a wave period still at five seconds

795
00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:09,760
recovery team reports in position ready

796
00:37:21,349 --> 00:37:18,069
okay no changes to timeline everything

797
00:37:23,510 --> 00:37:21,359
is looking good three knots on the wind

798
00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:23,520
less than a foot in five seconds on the

799
00:37:27,589 --> 00:37:26,240
period we're currently showing 220

800
00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:27,599
and we're working through our entry

801
00:37:33,349 --> 00:37:30,000
brief and we'll give you a uh

802
00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:37,190
okay spacex copies thank you

803
00:37:41,270 --> 00:37:39,280
you know as the

804
00:37:43,270 --> 00:37:41,280
folks on the crew capsule itself when

805
00:37:46,470 --> 00:37:43,280
your core calls you and says

806
00:37:48,390 --> 00:37:46,480
everything continues to look awesome uh

807
00:37:51,349 --> 00:37:48,400
that is probably the greatest of great

808
00:37:53,750 --> 00:37:51,359
news as the capsule is gearing up for

809
00:37:57,349 --> 00:37:53,760
re-entry into the earth's atmosphere and

810
00:37:59,030 --> 00:37:57,359
eventual splashdown here within the hour

811
00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:59,040
as i was mentioning earlier the crew on

812
00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:00,320
the international space station they

813
00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:01,760
might be up right now i'm sure they're

814
00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:03,680
very eager to see that

815
00:38:06,950 --> 00:38:05,119
see

816
00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:06,960
to make sure that their fellow crew

817
00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:08,000
members

818
00:38:12,150 --> 00:38:10,720
are safely back home on earth so

819
00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:12,160
you know they might be tuning in to make

820
00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:13,520
sure that you know everything goes

821
00:38:17,990 --> 00:38:15,359
smoothly before they you know head off

822
00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:18,000
to bed

823
00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:20,800
and uh meanwhile on earth this is the

824
00:38:24,310 --> 00:38:22,400
view that we had earlier from go

825
00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:24,320
navigator the recovery vessel that we'll

826
00:38:30,069 --> 00:38:26,640
see lift crew dragon out of the water

827
00:38:31,990 --> 00:38:30,079
later on they had another visitor uh you

828
00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:32,000
know outer space is a pretty amazing

829
00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:33,599
place to explore and i think the ocean

830
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:36,079
is as well and so this is one of the

831
00:38:41,030 --> 00:38:38,560
local residents in the area of go

832
00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:41,040
navigator at the time go navigator has

833
00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:44,000
now moved closer to the location of

834
00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:46,400
splashdown and they will then move in

835
00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:48,240
once the vehicle has

836
00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:50,560
made contact with the water to then

837
00:38:58,230 --> 00:38:55,910
yeah maybe that's a foreshadowing of the

838
00:38:59,829 --> 00:38:58,240
future zero g indicator we haven't had a

839
00:39:01,270 --> 00:38:59,839
marine animal

840
00:39:05,349 --> 00:39:01,280
find space yet so maybe the next one

841
00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:05,359
will be a dolphin that's not a bad idea

842
00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:08,160
this view right this view right now is

843
00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:10,079
again from the international space

844
00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:12,560
station that white dot in the center of

845
00:39:17,109 --> 00:39:14,480
your screen is the dragon

846
00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:17,119
capsule the um and the crew is inside

847
00:39:20,310 --> 00:39:18,960
there and uh we're continuing to adjust

848
00:39:21,829 --> 00:39:20,320
the cameras

849
00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:21,839
but it continues to make its way back

850
00:39:25,430 --> 00:39:23,680
towards earth

851
00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:25,440
and those cameras can be adjusted by

852
00:39:29,510 --> 00:39:27,040
teams on the ground in mission control

853
00:39:31,109 --> 00:39:29,520
houston so as you mentioned the the

854
00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:31,119
astronauts still on the international

855
00:39:35,109 --> 00:39:33,200
space station have the opportunity to be

856
00:39:37,430 --> 00:39:35,119
getting some sleep now they very well

857
00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:37,440
might be watching the coverage and we uh

858
00:39:43,109 --> 00:39:40,240
thank them as well for tuning in but um

859
00:39:45,589 --> 00:39:43,119
but yes just an amazing view for

860
00:39:48,790 --> 00:39:45,599
for us to get to see this

861
00:39:51,270 --> 00:39:48,800
image of crew dragon still in space

862
00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:51,280
counting down to that uh beginning of

863
00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:54,240
reentry it all happens very fast once

864
00:39:59,109 --> 00:39:56,160
that begins

865
00:40:00,470 --> 00:39:59,119
and we are looking for re-entry to begin

866
00:40:03,910 --> 00:40:00,480
at uh

867
00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:03,920
11 45 so less than 10 minutes from now

868
00:40:08,309 --> 00:40:06,720
and spacex from resilience tablets are

869
00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:08,319
secured on the satchels restraints are

870
00:40:30,630 --> 00:40:15,270
spacex copies on tablets restraints and

871
00:40:35,190 --> 00:40:32,790
the crew reporting to the core here that

872
00:40:36,829 --> 00:40:35,200
uh they are in the proper configuration

873
00:40:39,670 --> 00:40:36,839
for their

874
00:40:42,069 --> 00:40:39,680
deorbit their their re-entry essentially

875
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:42,079
so their visors on their suits are now

876
00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:43,920
down and locked in place we saw them

877
00:40:47,349 --> 00:40:45,520
earlier during that orbit burn the

878
00:40:49,670 --> 00:40:47,359
visors were still up

879
00:40:51,750 --> 00:40:49,680
and they needed to be closed prior to

880
00:40:53,349 --> 00:40:51,760
the re-entry and so it sounds like

881
00:40:55,190 --> 00:40:53,359
everything is properly secured and

882
00:40:56,470 --> 00:40:55,200
stowed for that re-entry into earth's

883
00:40:58,390 --> 00:40:56,480
atmosphere

884
00:41:00,069 --> 00:40:58,400
as we mentioned we can expect the

885
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:00,079
astronauts to feel

886
00:41:08,470 --> 00:41:02,560
about anywhere between three and five

887
00:41:12,790 --> 00:41:10,550
all right we are under 20 minutes away

888
00:41:15,430 --> 00:41:12,800
from splashdown here's uh the rundown

889
00:41:18,790 --> 00:41:15,440
again of what to expect here in a in the

890
00:41:20,150 --> 00:41:18,800
next 20 minutes at 11 43 p.m pacific

891
00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:20,160
time we're going to enter that

892
00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:21,920
communications blackout period that will

893
00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:24,079
last for approximately seven and a half

894
00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:25,760
minutes um

895
00:41:31,109 --> 00:41:29,440
at 11 45 pm uh entry will begin that is

896
00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:31,119
where the capsule will

897
00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:34,560
enter the earth's atmosphere 11 52 pm

898
00:41:39,430 --> 00:41:36,720
the drogue shoots will deploy then less

899
00:41:42,550 --> 00:41:39,440
than a minute after that

900
00:41:45,750 --> 00:41:42,560
the main shoots will deploy slowing the

901
00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:45,760
dragon spacecraft down to 16 miles an

902
00:41:52,309 --> 00:41:49,200
hour then 11 57 pm pacific time we have

903
00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:52,319
splashdown of the crew one resilience

904
00:42:01,670 --> 00:41:59,349
dragon spacex we show five minutes until

905
00:42:09,430 --> 00:42:01,680
predicted calm blackout we will see you

906
00:42:17,349 --> 00:42:11,670
and spacex resilience copies we'll talk

907
00:42:21,430 --> 00:42:19,829
and there was that

908
00:42:23,349 --> 00:42:21,440
blackout period

909
00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:23,359
that i had mentioned earlier that is the

910
00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:24,160
core

911
00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:27,119
just confirming again the time

912
00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:29,040
and the expectation that there will be a

913
00:42:33,750 --> 00:42:32,079
hole period at approximately 11 43 p.m

914
00:42:35,829 --> 00:42:33,760
pacific time for seven and a half

915
00:42:37,270 --> 00:42:35,839
minutes

916
00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:37,280
again the dragon

917
00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:39,040
vehicle is

918
00:42:44,550 --> 00:42:42,400
autonomous and uh really steering itself

919
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:44,560
at this point so even though

920
00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:45,839
communications can't be sent back and

921
00:42:50,470 --> 00:42:47,760
forth between dragon and ground

922
00:42:51,910 --> 00:42:50,480
the vehicle is uh really

923
00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:51,920
you know doing its own thing and making

924
00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:52,880
sure that

925
00:42:58,710 --> 00:42:55,040
it reaches the targeted landing site as

926
00:43:02,790 --> 00:43:00,710
we are four minutes away from that

927
00:43:04,390 --> 00:43:02,800
predicted loss of signal and this is

928
00:43:06,950 --> 00:43:04,400
something that occurs whenever we bring

929
00:43:09,990 --> 00:43:06,960
home crude spacecraft whether it be a

930
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:10,000
crew dragon or a soyuz spacecraft their

931
00:43:14,069 --> 00:43:11,920
their re-entry into the earth's

932
00:43:16,150 --> 00:43:14,079
atmosphere looks very similar uh they

933
00:43:18,150 --> 00:43:16,160
both have a deorbit burn and they both

934
00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:18,160
slow down significantly upon re-entry

935
00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:20,240
into earth's atmosphere and that plasma

936
00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:22,400
buildup outside of the vehicle

937
00:43:25,829 --> 00:43:24,480
along with that heat that prevents us

938
00:43:27,750 --> 00:43:25,839
from having communications with the

939
00:43:29,910 --> 00:43:27,760
vehicle for several minutes this time

940
00:43:32,550 --> 00:43:29,920
we're looking at about seven minutes so

941
00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:32,560
it's something that we're very

942
00:43:36,790 --> 00:43:35,200
aware of and experienced with

943
00:43:39,829 --> 00:43:36,800
and something else we are just learning

944
00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:39,839
is crew dragon is about 140 kilometers

945
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:43,280
in altitude so we continue to

946
00:43:48,630 --> 00:43:46,800
track its journey back to earth

947
00:43:57,430 --> 00:43:48,640
we are now what it looks like three

948
00:44:02,150 --> 00:43:59,829
so elia and i will continue to be with

949
00:44:04,069 --> 00:44:02,160
you live not just uh until splashdown

950
00:44:06,309 --> 00:44:04,079
but afterwards as part of the recovery

951
00:44:09,430 --> 00:44:06,319
operations as well uh we want to make

952
00:44:13,109 --> 00:44:09,440
sure that the team is picked up out of

953
00:44:16,069 --> 00:44:13,119
the water and safe and sound on the

954
00:44:18,309 --> 00:44:16,079
go navigator boat before we sign off so

955
00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:18,319
we still got a bit of time here but we

956
00:44:23,190 --> 00:44:20,640
do have quite a bit of events coming up

957
00:44:26,230 --> 00:44:23,200
in the next hour and a half

958
00:44:27,910 --> 00:44:26,240
until the crew is you know safely back

959
00:44:29,910 --> 00:44:27,920
on earth

960
00:44:32,230 --> 00:44:29,920
and speaking of recovery that uh that

961
00:44:34,710 --> 00:44:32,240
leads into an ask or a launch america

962
00:44:36,790 --> 00:44:34,720
question that we have

963
00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:36,800
do any medical checkups happen after the

964
00:44:40,790 --> 00:44:39,520
return of crew one back on earth uh yes

965
00:44:42,630 --> 00:44:40,800
that's actually the first thing that

966
00:44:45,109 --> 00:44:42,640
happens once crew one returns and is

967
00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:45,119
hoisted onto the ship the first person

968
00:44:50,470 --> 00:44:47,200
inside the hatch will be a medical

969
00:44:52,950 --> 00:44:50,480
doctor that speaks with the crew and

970
00:44:55,030 --> 00:44:52,960
allows them to uh to let them know how

971
00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:55,040
they're feeling ahead of egress or being

972
00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:57,119
taken out of the vehicle and as soon as

973
00:45:00,550 --> 00:44:58,800
that happens they'll be moved in so for

974
00:45:03,109 --> 00:45:00,560
some further medical checks ahead of

975
00:45:05,589 --> 00:45:03,119
being flown back on a helicopter to

976
00:45:07,829 --> 00:45:05,599
shore in florida so

977
00:45:09,910 --> 00:45:07,839
that'll be the the first thing that

978
00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:09,920
happens safety of our crew and their

979
00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:11,680
health is our priority

980
00:45:16,230 --> 00:45:13,760
yeah and you know part of landing

981
00:45:17,910 --> 00:45:16,240
selection slides one of the

982
00:45:19,430 --> 00:45:17,920
criteria is we have to be close to

983
00:45:21,109 --> 00:45:19,440
medical facilities so you know

984
00:45:23,990 --> 00:45:21,119
everything is really planned around the

985
00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:24,000
safe uh the safety uh of the astronauts

986
00:45:28,390 --> 00:45:26,240
and make sure that they come back uh you

987
00:45:30,710 --> 00:45:28,400
know nice and healthy uh because they've

988
00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:30,720
had you know such um

989
00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:34,000
uh rigorous sort of time up in space you

990
00:45:37,589 --> 00:45:36,079
know being in microgravity and now

991
00:45:39,589 --> 00:45:37,599
returning back to earth and having to

992
00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:39,599
deal with the gravity uh down here and

993
00:45:42,470 --> 00:45:40,319
so

994
00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:42,480
likely i mentioned um you know medical

995
00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:43,760
staff will be one of the first people

996
00:45:46,390 --> 00:45:45,520
that speak to the astronauts as soon as

997
00:45:48,630 --> 00:45:46,400
they

998
00:45:50,470 --> 00:45:48,640
land here on earth

999
00:45:51,910 --> 00:45:50,480
we just heard that dragon is an entry

1000
00:45:54,550 --> 00:45:51,920
attitude

1001
00:45:56,630 --> 00:45:54,560
exactly where they need to be

1002
00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:56,640
and for this targeted splash down off

1003
00:46:00,630 --> 00:45:58,720
the coast of panama city florida we have

1004
00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:00,640
that loss of signal that we predict to

1005
00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:04,480
occur coming up in about one minute

1006
00:46:08,950 --> 00:46:07,200
and we expect to see that last for about

1007
00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:08,960
seven minutes

1008
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:11,040
hearing our attitude is approximately

1009
00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:31,270
and as a reminder our four crew members

1010
00:46:35,829 --> 00:46:33,440
mike hopkins victor glover shannon

1011
00:46:37,990 --> 00:46:35,839
walker and suici all on board crew

1012
00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:38,000
dragon returning home today they are

1013
00:46:42,470 --> 00:46:40,720
monitoring this process and so they are

1014
00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:42,480
well aware that we may lose

1015
00:46:46,309 --> 00:46:44,240
communications with them as soon as

1016
00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:46,319
within 30 seconds

1017
00:46:51,190 --> 00:46:48,800
and we will speak with them once we are

1018
00:47:04,150 --> 00:46:51,200
out of that comms blackout period again

1019
00:47:11,030 --> 00:47:06,950
we're standing by for that loss

1020
00:47:12,870 --> 00:47:11,040
under 100 kilometers in altitude

1021
00:47:15,910 --> 00:47:12,880
and shortly after we begin that uh

1022
00:47:17,190 --> 00:47:15,920
communications blackout period 11 45 pm

1023
00:47:19,349 --> 00:47:17,200
pacific time

1024
00:47:21,270 --> 00:47:19,359
that is when the spacecraft will enter

1025
00:47:23,349 --> 00:47:21,280
the earth's atmosphere and begin you

1026
00:47:46,470 --> 00:47:23,359
know sort of its final descent

1027
00:47:50,309 --> 00:47:48,470
altitude of crew dragon now at 90

1028
00:47:51,589 --> 00:47:50,319
kilometers and this view on the right

1029
00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:51,599
hand side of your screen and mission

1030
00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:53,520
control hawthorne here

1031
00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:56,160
in california teams monitoring the

1032
00:48:00,069 --> 00:47:57,440
vehicle

1033
00:48:02,230 --> 00:48:00,079
and during this loss of signal point

1034
00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:02,240
uh this communications blackout they

1035
00:48:05,910 --> 00:48:03,760
they won't be able to get telemetry on

1036
00:48:16,870 --> 00:48:05,920
the vehicle but crew dragon is totally

1037
00:48:21,030 --> 00:48:18,710
so at this point we are entering that

1038
00:48:23,190 --> 00:48:21,040
communications blackout period

1039
00:48:25,829 --> 00:48:23,200
this will last approximately seven and a

1040
00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:25,839
half minutes due to plasma formation

1041
00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:28,000
around the spacecraft during this time

1042
00:48:32,230 --> 00:48:30,079
no vehicle telemetry is received by

1043
00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:32,240
mission control or the recovery team and

1044
00:48:36,710 --> 00:48:34,480
no external commanding of the vehicle or

1045
00:48:38,790 --> 00:48:36,720
voice communication is possible and just

1046
00:48:41,030 --> 00:48:38,800
as a reminder dragon is designed to fly

1047
00:48:43,430 --> 00:48:41,040
itself and continues to autonomously use

1048
00:48:49,030 --> 00:48:43,440
draco thrusters to orient itself during

1049
00:48:52,870 --> 00:48:50,790
during re-entry the vehicle will be

1050
00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:52,880
slowing down from orbital velocity which

1051
00:48:59,829 --> 00:48:56,000
is approximately 17

1052
00:49:01,910 --> 00:48:59,839
17 500 miles per hour and

1053
00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:01,920
the top temperature around dragon that

1054
00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:04,240
dragon will experience upon re-entry is

1055
00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:06,400
about 3 500

1056
00:49:10,470 --> 00:49:08,800
degrees fahrenheit

1057
00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:10,480
and of course inside the capsule will

1058
00:49:15,109 --> 00:49:12,240
not get near that hot we expect the

1059
00:49:17,670 --> 00:49:15,119
temperature to raise to about 85 degrees

1060
00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:17,680
and the astronauts have cool air inside

1061
00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:19,680
the vehicle as well as inside their

1062
00:49:25,750 --> 00:49:23,040
suits uh and so we have just

1063
00:49:28,790 --> 00:49:25,760
entered the time of entry interface so

1064
00:49:30,549 --> 00:49:28,800
dragon is now experiencing uh the

1065
00:49:32,870 --> 00:49:30,559
earth's atmosphere the for the first

1066
00:49:34,710 --> 00:49:32,880
time in almost six

1067
00:49:37,030 --> 00:49:34,720
months

1068
00:49:39,190 --> 00:49:37,040
so we are continuing to uh be in this

1069
00:49:41,030 --> 00:49:39,200
los period as we mentioned it should

1070
00:49:44,150 --> 00:49:41,040
last about seven minutes and that began

1071
00:49:47,190 --> 00:49:44,160
at 11 43 p.m pacific time so we have

1072
00:49:49,030 --> 00:49:47,200
about four minutes left of that los

1073
00:49:51,670 --> 00:49:49,040
period uh and the crew knows that we

1074
00:49:53,990 --> 00:49:51,680
will be in communication with them on

1075
00:49:56,230 --> 00:49:54,000
the other side

1076
00:49:57,190 --> 00:49:56,240
and this has got to be the the period

1077
00:49:59,589 --> 00:49:57,200
where

1078
00:50:01,670 --> 00:49:59,599
if you followed bob and doug's re-entry

1079
00:50:03,270 --> 00:50:01,680
they describe dragon as sort of coming

1080
00:50:05,430 --> 00:50:03,280
back to life when it re-enters the

1081
00:50:07,109 --> 00:50:05,440
atmosphere so again

1082
00:50:10,069 --> 00:50:07,119
those temperatures are caused by

1083
00:50:12,069 --> 00:50:10,079
friction so um you know the the

1084
00:50:13,990 --> 00:50:12,079
spacecraft itself is moving at such a

1085
00:50:15,829 --> 00:50:14,000
high rate of speed that it's it's

1086
00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:15,839
hitting all these air particles and so

1087
00:50:19,589 --> 00:50:17,200
um it's got to be

1088
00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:19,599
you know the vibration levels and uh the

1089
00:50:24,150 --> 00:50:21,920
sound has got to be sort of elevated at

1090
00:50:26,390 --> 00:50:24,160
this point as it continues to go through

1091
00:50:27,990 --> 00:50:26,400
the earth's atmosphere and as we

1092
00:50:29,829 --> 00:50:28,000
mentioned this is the first time that

1093
00:50:32,230 --> 00:50:29,839
the vehicle has felt this lift and this

1094
00:50:33,990 --> 00:50:32,240
drag since launch um

1095
00:50:37,030 --> 00:50:34,000
the atmosphere in space that doesn't

1096
00:50:38,790 --> 00:50:37,040
exist and so it's a vacuum and

1097
00:50:41,109 --> 00:50:38,800
haven't been feeling this and been able

1098
00:50:43,990 --> 00:50:41,119
to hear those sounds that uh you were

1099
00:50:45,990 --> 00:50:44,000
discussing so um it's quite a different

1100
00:50:48,309 --> 00:50:46,000
moment after having six months in

1101
00:50:50,309 --> 00:50:48,319
microgravity they will begin to start

1102
00:50:53,510 --> 00:50:50,319
feeling some g's as we mentioned between

1103
00:50:55,750 --> 00:50:53,520
three and five g's upon their re-entry

1104
00:50:57,910 --> 00:50:55,760
and we are standing by it's been about

1105
00:51:00,309 --> 00:50:57,920
four minutes now since that loss of

1106
00:51:02,390 --> 00:51:00,319
signal began that's an estimated seven

1107
00:51:04,790 --> 00:51:02,400
minutes the plasma is building up on the

1108
00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:04,800
outside of the capsule as it continues

1109
00:51:07,910 --> 00:51:06,240
entering the earth's atmosphere the

1110
00:51:09,270 --> 00:51:07,920
temperatures around the capsule building

1111
00:51:12,390 --> 00:51:09,280
up to 3

1112
00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:12,400
500 degrees fahrenheit

1113
00:51:16,630 --> 00:51:15,920
and this view from our wb-57 aircraft

1114
00:51:18,630 --> 00:51:16,640
with

1115
00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:18,640
thermal imaging cameras we will be

1116
00:51:22,710 --> 00:51:21,040
looking for

1117
00:51:30,390 --> 00:51:22,720
the

1118
00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:30,400
atmosphere crew dragon continuing its

1119
00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:35,430
so there's a material on the bottom of

1120
00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:36,559
the capsule

1121
00:51:41,589 --> 00:51:39,040
pica 3.0 stands for

1122
00:51:44,230 --> 00:51:41,599
phenolic impregnated

1123
00:51:47,109 --> 00:51:44,240
carbon ablator that is the material that

1124
00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:47,119
is really shielding the capsule from all

1125
00:51:51,349 --> 00:51:49,359
of that extreme temperature and so the

1126
00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:51,359
capsule itself goes in sort of bottom

1127
00:51:56,950 --> 00:51:53,920
first and

1128
00:52:01,910 --> 00:51:56,960
that lightweight material oh and that is

1129
00:52:06,870 --> 00:52:04,790
re-entering the earth's atmosphere as it

1130
00:52:08,950 --> 00:52:06,880
leaves that trail behind

1131
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:08,960
and then again that that

1132
00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:12,640
the illuminations from all that heat um

1133
00:52:17,510 --> 00:52:14,880
that is building up uh due to friction

1134
00:52:19,750 --> 00:52:17,520
of just the re-entry speeds of dragon

1135
00:52:22,150 --> 00:52:19,760
when it meets the earth's atmosphere and

1136
00:52:23,589 --> 00:52:22,160
that view coming from the boat go

1137
00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:23,599
navigator

1138
00:52:29,829 --> 00:52:26,720
crew dragon continuing as you said into

1139
00:52:32,309 --> 00:52:29,839
to enter earth's atmosphere so uh

1140
00:52:33,510 --> 00:52:32,319
having these two views right now with it

1141
00:52:36,549 --> 00:52:33,520
being

1142
00:52:39,109 --> 00:52:36,559
a a nighttime splashdown

1143
00:52:41,750 --> 00:52:39,119
pretty exciting that we're getting

1144
00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:41,760
uh two good views upon re-entry into

1145
00:52:51,270 --> 00:52:49,349
so again a lot of things are happening

1146
00:52:53,750 --> 00:52:51,280
uh pretty rapidly here in about three

1147
00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:53,760
minutes the first set of parachutes will

1148
00:52:58,710 --> 00:52:55,839
deploy they are drogue shoots they are

1149
00:53:02,069 --> 00:52:58,720
conical in nature and their job is to

1150
00:53:05,030 --> 00:53:02,079
stabilize and begin sort of the initial

1151
00:53:07,030 --> 00:53:05,040
deceleration of the vehicle followed

1152
00:53:08,790 --> 00:53:07,040
very shortly after by the main

1153
00:53:17,030 --> 00:53:08,800
parachutes there are four of them dragon

1154
00:53:23,109 --> 00:53:20,390
and spacex this is dragon over 4g is 42

1155
00:53:26,309 --> 00:53:23,119
kilometers

1156
00:53:32,150 --> 00:53:26,319
spacex we have you loud and clear expect

1157
00:53:42,309 --> 00:53:34,230
and resilience copies we are at flight

1158
00:53:46,630 --> 00:53:44,309
that's commander mike hopkins reporting

1159
00:53:48,549 --> 00:53:46,640
the g's that they experienced upon

1160
00:53:50,549 --> 00:53:48,559
re-entry and as you heard we are now out

1161
00:53:53,349 --> 00:53:50,559
of that loss of signal portion meaning

1162
00:53:54,829 --> 00:53:53,359
the plasma has eroded away enough from

1163
00:53:56,950 --> 00:53:54,839
the

1164
00:53:58,950 --> 00:53:56,960
spacecraft i think my heart skipped a

1165
00:53:59,990 --> 00:53:58,960
beat as soon as i heard

1166
00:54:02,069 --> 00:54:00,000
the crew

1167
00:54:04,390 --> 00:54:02,079
uh responding back and you know one

1168
00:54:06,870 --> 00:54:04,400
thing i did note as soon as mike uh

1169
00:54:09,109 --> 00:54:06,880
turned on his comms there was a lot of

1170
00:54:11,829 --> 00:54:09,119
background noise and that is sort of uh

1171
00:54:15,829 --> 00:54:11,839
you know the the um after effects of

1172
00:54:20,470 --> 00:54:18,390
so this view again from the wb-57

1173
00:54:23,430 --> 00:54:20,480
aircraft

1174
00:54:28,630 --> 00:54:23,440
dragon spacex a gps is converged expect

1175
00:54:35,349 --> 00:54:31,109
resilience copies

1176
00:54:40,150 --> 00:54:37,510
crew dragon resilience now 30 kilometers

1177
00:54:42,069 --> 00:54:40,160
over earth it's quite a quick drop over

1178
00:54:43,510 --> 00:54:42,079
that a 100 that we saw just a few

1179
00:54:44,789 --> 00:54:43,520
minutes ago

1180
00:54:46,870 --> 00:54:44,799
and now we'll be looking for drug

1181
00:54:51,589 --> 00:54:46,880
parachute deploy within the next minute

1182
00:54:53,589 --> 00:54:51,599
or so at 11 52 p.m pacific time 6 52 gmt

1183
00:54:56,630 --> 00:54:53,599
those two drogue shoots should deploy at

1184
00:54:59,349 --> 00:54:56,640
18 000 feet and at an altitude crew

1185
00:55:01,990 --> 00:54:59,359
dragon will be moving approximately 350

1186
00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:02,000
miles per hour dragon spacex recovery

1187
00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:09,270
good news we're at 20 kilometers seats

1188
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:19,990
spacex copies on the seat rotation

1189
00:55:25,030 --> 00:55:22,549
the seats are rotating into the proper

1190
00:55:26,789 --> 00:55:25,040
landing position

1191
00:55:30,309 --> 00:55:26,799
we saw them a little bit more reclined

1192
00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:30,319
earlier facing the top of the capsule

1193
00:55:34,710 --> 00:55:32,880
and now they are

1194
00:55:35,670 --> 00:55:34,720
more forward facing towards that side

1195
00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:35,680
hatch

1196
00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:37,760
we also got confirmation that the

1197
00:55:42,069 --> 00:55:41,040
recovery teams can also now see dragon

1198
00:55:43,829 --> 00:55:42,079
coming back

1199
00:56:18,150 --> 00:55:43,839
for jokes

1200
00:56:22,150 --> 00:56:19,910
so we are waiting for confirmation that

1201
00:56:24,870 --> 00:56:22,160
the drogue chutes have deployed we are

1202
00:56:29,190 --> 00:56:24,880
expecting them to deploy uh any minute

1203
00:56:34,309 --> 00:56:30,870
and it looks like

1204
00:56:43,190 --> 00:56:34,319
those might be our drogue shoots

1205
00:56:47,990 --> 00:56:44,710
spacex from resilience we shall give

1206
00:56:53,349 --> 00:56:49,990
spacex copies and concurs nominal

1207
00:56:55,190 --> 00:56:53,359
descent right on two drugs

1208
00:56:56,950 --> 00:56:55,200
uh continuing to hear good news after

1209
00:56:59,030 --> 00:56:56,960
good news uh two drug shoots have

1210
00:57:01,510 --> 00:56:59,040
deployed everything looks nominal and

1211
00:57:03,510 --> 00:57:01,520
we're slowing the dragon vehicle down we

1212
00:57:15,670 --> 00:57:03,520
are expecting the four main shoots to

1213
00:57:22,470 --> 00:57:17,910
and those four drogue shoots oh you can

1214
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:29,510
visual on four mains

1215
00:57:33,910 --> 00:57:31,750
in resilience copies and we see a

1216
00:57:36,309 --> 00:57:33,920
nominal descent rate

1217
00:57:40,309 --> 00:57:36,319
spacex copies and concern concurs

1218
00:57:45,589 --> 00:57:43,510
and this view coming from the wb-57 very

1219
00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:45,599
clear image of those four

1220
00:57:50,789 --> 00:57:48,480
main parachutes slowing the vehicle down

1221
00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:50,799
to what will be about 16 miles per hour

1222
00:57:55,990 --> 00:57:53,200
prior to splashdown just off the coast

1223
00:57:57,349 --> 00:57:56,000
of panama city florida

1224
00:57:59,270 --> 00:57:57,359
if it were daylight we would have an

1225
00:58:01,430 --> 00:57:59,280
image of those four

1226
00:58:04,470 --> 00:58:01,440
beautiful parachutes being orange and

1227
00:58:08,309 --> 00:58:06,789
and still getting these incredible views

1228
00:58:11,910 --> 00:58:08,319
even though we are in a nighttime

1229
00:58:17,589 --> 00:58:14,549
so we are waiting for visuals of

1230
00:58:21,990 --> 00:58:19,990
the dragon one program had great success

1231
00:58:23,829 --> 00:58:22,000
with water landing with 20 successful

1232
00:58:25,990 --> 00:58:23,839
splashdowns over the course of that

1233
00:58:32,309 --> 00:58:26,000
program nine of which were carried out

1234
00:58:36,150 --> 00:58:34,069
in space had you broken but we show you

1235
00:58:40,870 --> 00:58:36,160
just under 800 meters still good decent

1236
00:58:45,349 --> 00:58:42,789
just under 800 meters from the earth

1237
00:58:50,630 --> 00:58:45,359
that's about half of a mile

1238
00:58:56,150 --> 00:58:54,230
and 600 meters and we're showing

1239
00:58:57,210 --> 00:58:56,160
centimeters per second on the decent

1240
00:59:00,870 --> 00:58:57,220
rate a little higher than that

1241
00:59:05,750 --> 00:59:03,670
spacex copies

1242
00:59:08,630 --> 00:59:05,760
and what a view we have here even though

1243
00:59:09,829 --> 00:59:08,640
it's nighttime uh we have some great

1244
00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:09,839
visuals

1245
00:59:16,069 --> 00:59:12,559
uh of dragon there with his four main

1246
00:59:17,670 --> 00:59:16,079
shoots deployed uh slowly coming back to

1247
00:59:19,910 --> 00:59:17,680
earth

1248
00:59:22,789 --> 00:59:19,920
splashdown is scheduled for just a few

1249
00:59:27,430 --> 00:59:24,789
now just a quarter mile away from

1250
00:59:44,870 --> 00:59:27,440
splashdown and that splashdown time

1251
00:59:51,349 --> 00:59:47,750
and spacex we show nominal decent rates

1252
01:00:08,549 --> 00:59:51,359
200 meters breaks for splashdown

1253
01:00:12,789 --> 01:00:10,630
seconds away from splashdown everything

1254
01:00:18,549 --> 01:00:12,799
nominal aboard crew dragon resilience

1255
01:00:23,510 --> 01:00:19,990
and there are the boats starting to

1256
01:00:35,050 --> 01:00:25,270
to begin their recovery operations as

1257
01:00:39,190 --> 01:00:37,670
[Applause]

1258
01:00:41,010 --> 01:00:39,200
and i don't know if you can hear the

1259
01:00:42,390 --> 01:00:41,020
applause

1260
01:00:44,710 --> 01:00:42,400
[Applause]

1261
01:00:46,549 --> 01:00:44,720
but we have visual confirmation of the

1262
01:00:47,589 --> 01:00:46,559
crew one resilience capsule from a

1263
01:00:49,510 --> 01:00:47,599
rebellion

1264
01:00:50,549 --> 01:00:49,520
that is excellent news we are splashed

1265
01:00:55,430 --> 01:00:50,559
down we've

1266
01:01:06,390 --> 01:00:58,549
spacex copies and concurs we do she main

1267
01:01:11,750 --> 01:01:08,870
so again you heard the applause uh

1268
01:01:13,670 --> 01:01:11,760
the crew one capsule has returned um and

1269
01:01:16,069 --> 01:01:13,680
we have successful splashdown the main

1270
01:01:18,069 --> 01:01:16,079
shoots have also cut as well the fast

1271
01:01:19,990 --> 01:01:18,079
boats are now making their way towards

1272
01:01:22,230 --> 01:01:20,000
the capsule to begin the recovery

1273
01:01:23,589 --> 01:01:22,240
operations again that first boat is

1274
01:01:25,510 --> 01:01:23,599
going to

1275
01:01:27,829 --> 01:01:25,520
start to inspect the capsule and make

1276
01:01:29,670 --> 01:01:27,839
sure that there isn't any residual

1277
01:01:31,750 --> 01:01:29,680
toxic fumes in the air dragon on behalf

1278
01:01:33,190 --> 01:01:31,760
of nasa and the spacex teams we welcome

1279
01:01:35,349 --> 01:01:33,200
you back to planet earth and thanks for

1280
01:01:36,870 --> 01:01:35,359
flying spacex for those of you enrolled

1281
01:01:45,750 --> 01:01:36,880
in our frequent flyer program you have

1282
01:01:49,030 --> 01:01:47,430
at spacex

1283
01:01:51,190 --> 01:01:49,040
resilience it is

1284
01:01:53,109 --> 01:01:51,200
back on planet earth

1285
01:01:58,150 --> 01:01:53,119
and we'll take those miles

1286
01:02:06,710 --> 01:01:59,990
and dragon will have to refer you to our

1287
01:02:16,950 --> 01:02:08,789
and we are in

1288
01:02:25,670 --> 01:02:19,430
and uh resilience please repeat last

1289
01:02:31,190 --> 01:02:29,190
okay we are at three and we show stable

1290
01:02:37,670 --> 01:02:31,200
one

1291
01:02:40,870 --> 01:02:39,910
so a bit of levity from the crew and the

1292
01:02:44,309 --> 01:02:40,880
core

1293
01:02:46,630 --> 01:02:44,319
about the transformer transferable

1294
01:02:50,069 --> 01:02:46,640
mileage

1295
01:02:53,750 --> 01:02:50,079
and that splashdown coming at 11 56 p.m

1296
01:02:55,589 --> 01:02:53,760
pacific time 6 56 gmt

1297
01:02:57,750 --> 01:02:55,599
we're hearing reports that the capsule

1298
01:02:58,950 --> 01:02:57,760
is in stable one position meaning it is

1299
01:03:01,109 --> 01:02:58,960
upright

1300
01:03:03,349 --> 01:03:01,119
as we heard those four main parachutes

1301
01:03:05,510 --> 01:03:03,359
were cut and those two fast boats will

1302
01:03:07,109 --> 01:03:05,520
soon approach the vehicle they will be

1303
01:03:08,789 --> 01:03:07,119
able to as we mentioned sniff for those

1304
01:03:10,710 --> 01:03:08,799
hyper golf fuels

1305
01:03:13,349 --> 01:03:10,720
as well as attach buoys to the

1306
01:03:15,510 --> 01:03:13,359
parachutes and make sure they are

1307
01:03:17,510 --> 01:03:15,520
recovered the teams have been ready and

1308
01:03:19,270 --> 01:03:17,520
waiting about three nautical miles away

1309
01:03:21,190 --> 01:03:19,280
so it's going to take them around 20

1310
01:03:24,069 --> 01:03:21,200
minutes to make their way to mike victor

1311
01:03:26,549 --> 01:03:24,079
shannon and suici inside crew dragon and

1312
01:03:30,230 --> 01:03:26,559
while the teams move in we are

1313
01:03:32,390 --> 01:03:30,240
continuing to watch

1314
01:03:33,750 --> 01:03:32,400
the scene unfold in this view coming

1315
01:03:36,309 --> 01:03:33,760
from

1316
01:03:54,789 --> 01:03:36,319
go navigator the recovery vessel on

1317
01:03:59,910 --> 01:03:57,270
and that was just so cool to see

1318
01:04:02,230 --> 01:03:59,920
we the teams had visual of dragon with

1319
01:04:04,630 --> 01:04:02,240
the shoots deployed coming back down to

1320
01:04:06,069 --> 01:04:04,640
earth and then you saw the fast boats

1321
01:04:08,069 --> 01:04:06,079
sort of just

1322
01:04:10,230 --> 01:04:08,079
as fast as they could uh you know

1323
01:04:11,670 --> 01:04:10,240
heading over to dragon i just make sure

1324
01:04:13,349 --> 01:04:11,680
that everything

1325
01:04:25,750 --> 01:04:13,359
can happen as quickly as possible and

1326
01:04:31,670 --> 01:04:28,549
and good news

1327
01:04:34,390 --> 01:04:31,680
the uh recovery vehicle has a go to

1328
01:04:36,230 --> 01:04:34,400
approach the spacecraft in spacex we are

1329
01:04:38,069 --> 01:04:36,240
go for recovery personnel to approach

1330
01:04:43,270 --> 01:04:38,079
expect personnel alongside in about one

1331
01:04:49,029 --> 01:04:46,069
and spacex from dragon that is straight

1332
01:04:52,549 --> 01:04:50,630
and that comes right on time as well

1333
01:04:54,230 --> 01:04:52,559
just five minutes after splashdown those

1334
01:04:55,990 --> 01:04:54,240
fast boats are going to be able to

1335
01:04:58,630 --> 01:04:56,000
approach the capsule

1336
01:05:02,309 --> 01:04:58,640
and put buoys on those parachutes

1337
01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:02,319
and the hypergal checks will continue

1338
01:05:08,630 --> 01:05:04,720
and eventually someone will help rig up

1339
01:05:11,750 --> 01:05:08,640
the capsule to be picked up by the

1340
01:05:29,430 --> 01:05:11,760
uh the go navigator once it has to go to

1341
01:05:33,589 --> 01:05:31,910
and all of this action coming after

1342
01:05:36,789 --> 01:05:33,599
undocking from the international space

1343
01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:36,799
station at 5 30 5 p.m

1344
01:05:43,510 --> 01:05:39,680
pacific time today just six and a half

1345
01:05:45,990 --> 01:05:43,520
hours from them to board the uh crew

1346
01:05:48,470 --> 01:05:46,000
dragon or to depart on crew dragon and

1347
01:05:54,870 --> 01:05:48,480
splash down back on earth after almost

1348
01:05:58,950 --> 01:05:57,510
and here's a aerial shot of those fast

1349
01:06:05,029 --> 01:05:58,960
boats approaching

1350
01:06:08,789 --> 01:06:06,870
and spacex from resilience we're still

1351
01:06:10,309 --> 01:06:08,799
reading it loud and clear

1352
01:06:15,589 --> 01:06:10,319
loud and clear as well we just completed

1353
01:06:22,390 --> 01:06:17,910
you bet 10 we do some lights outside

1354
01:06:30,230 --> 01:06:24,630
affirmative uh quite the welcome home

1355
01:06:33,910 --> 01:06:31,750
so it looks like that first boat has

1356
01:06:36,390 --> 01:06:33,920
already made it to the capsule there are

1357
01:06:39,670 --> 01:06:36,400
a number of other boats and recovery

1358
01:06:41,910 --> 01:06:39,680
vessels um standing by and once we clear

1359
01:06:43,750 --> 01:06:41,920
the area of um you know from any

1360
01:06:44,950 --> 01:06:43,760
hypergolic

1361
01:06:46,789 --> 01:06:44,960
vapors

1362
01:06:49,109 --> 01:06:46,799
they'll you know move on to the next

1363
01:06:50,710 --> 01:06:49,119
phases of recovery

1364
01:06:52,390 --> 01:06:50,720
and some of those darker spaces you see

1365
01:06:55,349 --> 01:06:52,400
there in the water are the parachutes

1366
01:06:57,910 --> 01:06:55,359
that will be uh collected later on but

1367
01:06:59,750 --> 01:06:57,920
this view yes from the wb-57 aircraft

1368
01:07:02,549 --> 01:06:59,760
that provided us with those infrared

1369
01:07:04,309 --> 01:07:02,559
images uh as the dragon was still

1370
01:07:05,750 --> 01:07:04,319
reentering the earth's atmosphere and

1371
01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:05,760
then all the way through splashdown as

1372
01:07:11,829 --> 01:07:09,430
so you can see that second boat

1373
01:07:22,150 --> 01:07:11,839
approaching those uh

1374
01:07:26,829 --> 01:07:23,589
it really could not have been a more

1375
01:07:30,150 --> 01:07:26,839
flawless journey home for crew dragon

1376
01:07:32,470 --> 01:07:30,160
resilience yeah we we continue to see

1377
01:07:34,950 --> 01:07:32,480
um you know nominal call after nominal

1378
01:07:36,950 --> 01:07:34,960
call from the dragon spacex we show

1379
01:07:39,190 --> 01:07:36,960
hyper goal sweeps and unfor fired

1380
01:07:42,069 --> 01:07:39,200
ordinance checks uh nominal rigor should

1381
01:07:45,029 --> 01:07:42,079
come aboard momentarily expect about two

1382
01:07:50,390 --> 01:07:45,039
five minutes until capsule lift standby

1383
01:07:56,549 --> 01:07:51,990
okay resilience copies all we're

1384
01:08:01,910 --> 01:07:59,190
the cordless just said um we are clear

1385
01:08:04,069 --> 01:08:01,920
of any hyper goals uh in the area so we

1386
01:08:06,710 --> 01:08:04,079
are starting to send the recovery vessel

1387
01:08:08,710 --> 01:08:06,720
and we'll start to hoist up dragon in

1388
01:08:10,950 --> 01:08:08,720
about 25 minutes and then shortly after

1389
01:08:12,789 --> 01:08:10,960
that he mentioned pmc which is the

1390
01:08:14,950 --> 01:08:12,799
private medical conference

1391
01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:14,960
again the medical staff

1392
01:08:19,349 --> 01:08:16,560
or one of the first people to talk to

1393
01:08:22,149 --> 01:08:19,359
the folks inside the dragon capsule so

1394
01:08:24,709 --> 01:08:22,159
um you know in about 30 minutes here

1395
01:08:27,590 --> 01:08:24,719
we should be

1396
01:08:33,669 --> 01:08:29,990
hopefully the astronauts egress from the

1397
01:08:35,829 --> 01:08:33,679
side hatch of the dragon capsule

1398
01:08:38,390 --> 01:08:35,839
we also heard that mentioned the rigger

1399
01:08:39,829 --> 01:08:38,400
will be online or will be on the capsule

1400
01:08:41,430 --> 01:08:39,839
shortly that's the

1401
01:08:43,510 --> 01:08:41,440
one crew member we were discussing

1402
01:08:45,510 --> 01:08:43,520
earlier or one team member i should say

1403
01:08:48,070 --> 01:08:45,520
that will climb on the capsule and begin

1404
01:08:51,110 --> 01:08:48,080
rigging it for uh

1405
01:08:53,430 --> 01:08:51,120
for to be hoisted by the

1406
01:08:54,789 --> 01:08:53,440
uh go navigator vessel it will help

1407
01:08:58,309 --> 01:08:54,799
place

1408
01:09:00,470 --> 01:08:58,319
crew dragon into the dragon nest aboard

1409
01:09:03,110 --> 01:09:00,480
go navigator

1410
01:09:05,510 --> 01:09:03,120
everything's still moving on timeline

1411
01:09:09,430 --> 01:09:05,520
with this recovery tonight the first

1412
01:09:10,470 --> 01:09:09,440
splashdown of a nasa uh and spacex crew

1413
01:09:12,870 --> 01:09:10,480
capsule

1414
01:09:15,430 --> 01:09:12,880
and the first blast down for nasa since

1415
01:09:17,510 --> 01:09:15,440
1968 with the return of the apollo 8

1416
01:09:18,870 --> 01:09:17,520
astronauts

1417
01:09:22,149 --> 01:09:18,880
and one thing to note you can see the

1418
01:09:24,950 --> 01:09:22,159
sheen of the ocean uh with those lights

1419
01:09:26,390 --> 01:09:24,960
there and the sea itself uh you know

1420
01:09:27,829 --> 01:09:26,400
that could have been mistaken for a

1421
01:09:30,229 --> 01:09:27,839
beach but we are in the middle of the

1422
01:09:32,390 --> 01:09:30,239
ocean and the seas are just as calm as

1423
01:09:35,269 --> 01:09:32,400
they can be again weather was something

1424
01:09:37,910 --> 01:09:35,279
we were tracking and we waved off

1425
01:09:40,309 --> 01:09:37,920
splashdown a couple times this past week

1426
01:09:42,630 --> 01:09:40,319
but today's conditions seemed absolutely

1427
01:09:44,630 --> 01:09:42,640
serene there it is um

1428
01:09:46,630 --> 01:09:44,640
for landing and you know recovery

1429
01:09:47,430 --> 01:09:46,640
operations so it's just a great thing to

1430
01:09:49,189 --> 01:09:47,440
see

1431
01:09:50,789 --> 01:09:49,199
that you know they don't have to combat

1432
01:09:52,470 --> 01:09:50,799
any type of inclement weather while

1433
01:10:20,709 --> 01:09:52,480
they're already doing such important

1434
01:10:24,709 --> 01:10:22,390
so you can see some of those recovery

1435
01:10:35,910 --> 01:10:24,719
vessels surrounding the

1436
01:10:40,709 --> 01:10:37,830
and the crew members on board still just

1437
01:10:42,390 --> 01:10:40,719
monitoring the status of the recovery

1438
01:10:43,910 --> 01:10:42,400
and as andy mentioned

1439
01:10:45,910 --> 01:10:43,920
will participate in a private medical

1440
01:10:48,390 --> 01:10:45,920
conference to report back on how they

1441
01:10:49,910 --> 01:10:48,400
are feeling

1442
01:10:51,270 --> 01:10:49,920
and once they are brought on board

1443
01:11:15,030 --> 01:10:51,280
they'll have an opportunity to be

1444
01:11:20,070 --> 01:11:17,990
see some activity of that that fast boat

1445
01:11:21,990 --> 01:11:20,080
around crew dragon and that's what's in

1446
01:11:25,030 --> 01:11:22,000
the middle of the screen right now

1447
01:11:29,110 --> 01:11:25,040
there is a much larger recovery vessel

1448
01:11:34,709 --> 01:11:31,669
that will hoist up dragon onto

1449
01:11:36,390 --> 01:11:34,719
the back end of the ship

1450
01:11:55,750 --> 01:11:36,400
we're expecting that to happen in

1451
01:11:59,430 --> 01:11:57,510
and i can't tell exactly but we may

1452
01:12:02,950 --> 01:11:59,440
already have that person

1453
01:12:05,590 --> 01:12:02,960
on crew dragon uh beginning to rig it in

1454
01:12:07,590 --> 01:12:05,600
preparation for when go navigator can

1455
01:12:11,189 --> 01:12:07,600
approach and

1456
01:12:11,199 --> 01:12:35,350
to the ship and brought on board

1457
01:12:39,189 --> 01:12:37,590
so this was the primary site that we

1458
01:12:41,110 --> 01:12:39,199
landed on

1459
01:12:43,110 --> 01:12:41,120
off the coast of panama city in florida

1460
01:12:45,350 --> 01:12:43,120
we did have an alternate site off the

1461
01:12:47,669 --> 01:12:45,360
coast of tampa

1462
01:12:49,350 --> 01:12:47,679
there was an equivalent amount of

1463
01:12:51,750 --> 01:12:49,360
personnel and

1464
01:12:53,590 --> 01:12:51,760
hardware and ships ready to

1465
01:12:56,070 --> 01:12:53,600
perform the same type of recovery

1466
01:13:01,430 --> 01:12:56,080
operations in the event that dragon had

1467
01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:06,070
but things continuing to go smooth

1468
01:13:10,470 --> 01:13:08,310
and we did get a report that the crew is

1469
01:13:12,310 --> 01:13:10,480
feeling well inside the capsule just

1470
01:13:13,750 --> 01:13:12,320
what we wanted to hear of course they

1471
01:13:15,669 --> 01:13:13,760
will still have that private medical

1472
01:13:17,990 --> 01:13:15,679
conference and they will still receive

1473
01:13:20,709 --> 01:13:18,000
medical checkouts once they arrive on go

1474
01:13:23,030 --> 01:13:20,719
navigator but um amazing preliminary

1475
01:13:25,189 --> 01:13:23,040
news uh that the crew reports that they

1476
01:13:27,350 --> 01:13:25,199
are feeling well and and that's quite a

1477
01:13:30,229 --> 01:13:27,360
feat in itself to be feeling well after

1478
01:13:31,910 --> 01:13:30,239
six months in microgravity and to return

1479
01:13:33,990 --> 01:13:31,920
to gravity so

1480
01:14:02,870 --> 01:13:34,000
great news all around tonight with the

1481
01:14:08,070 --> 01:14:05,110
coming up on just about 15 minutes since

1482
01:14:10,229 --> 01:14:08,080
we had splashdown today

1483
01:14:15,669 --> 01:14:10,239
this evening that splashdown coming at 6

1484
01:14:17,830 --> 01:14:15,679
50 or 11 56 p.m pacific time 6 56 gmt

1485
01:14:19,669 --> 01:14:17,840
and now you can a little more clearly on

1486
01:14:21,990 --> 01:14:19,679
the right hand side of the capsule see

1487
01:14:25,270 --> 01:14:22,000
the person who is preparing it

1488
01:14:26,709 --> 01:14:25,280
for their uh to be picked up by go

1489
01:14:29,350 --> 01:14:26,719
navigator

1490
01:14:34,149 --> 01:14:29,360
with that rigging system

1491
01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:36,229
so this is the

1492
01:14:40,709 --> 01:14:38,960
resilience capsule it flew for the first

1493
01:14:42,229 --> 01:14:40,719
time

1494
01:14:43,110 --> 01:14:42,239
in november of last year and when it

1495
01:14:45,750 --> 01:14:43,120
flew

1496
01:14:48,390 --> 01:14:45,760
uh it was pristine and white and now

1497
01:14:50,709 --> 01:14:48,400
we've got a little bit of a toastiness

1498
01:14:53,669 --> 01:14:50,719
on its side and some people have uh

1499
01:14:55,270 --> 01:14:53,679
described the re-entered capsule as a

1500
01:14:57,669 --> 01:14:55,280
sort of a toasted marshmallow and again

1501
01:14:59,110 --> 01:14:57,679
that is just from all the heat on

1502
01:15:01,910 --> 01:14:59,120
re-entry

1503
01:15:03,350 --> 01:15:01,920
it is continuing to stay buoyant in the

1504
01:15:05,430 --> 01:15:03,360
gulf of mexico

1505
01:15:07,350 --> 01:15:05,440
the dragon vehicle itself is designed to

1506
01:15:08,790 --> 01:15:07,360
be waterproof

1507
01:15:10,950 --> 01:15:08,800
and in the

1508
01:15:13,910 --> 01:15:10,960
event that there is a breach we do have

1509
01:15:15,590 --> 01:15:13,920
some abilities to pump water into some

1510
01:15:17,430 --> 01:15:15,600
bladders in the capsule to make sure

1511
01:15:19,590 --> 01:15:17,440
that it stays buoyant for as long as

1512
01:15:22,630 --> 01:15:19,600
possible but everything continues to go

1513
01:15:24,470 --> 01:15:22,640
well we are now seeing a uh even better

1514
01:15:26,870 --> 01:15:24,480
view of the rigor

1515
01:15:29,750 --> 01:15:26,880
on top of the dragon capsule preparing

1516
01:15:33,430 --> 01:15:29,760
preparing it for hoisting later on uh in

1517
01:15:37,110 --> 01:15:35,110
and that's a great picture you can see

1518
01:15:39,270 --> 01:15:37,120
just how calm the

1519
01:15:42,550 --> 01:15:39,280
the sea really is that is the gulf of

1520
01:15:43,270 --> 01:15:42,560
mexico yeah uh it's pretty amazing that

1521
01:15:45,590 --> 01:15:43,280
it's

1522
01:15:51,830 --> 01:15:45,600
that truly glassy as we heard described

1523
01:15:55,750 --> 01:15:53,750
a great view of the capsule now and the

1524
01:16:07,830 --> 01:15:55,760
person preparing it to be hoisted on to

1525
01:16:12,070 --> 01:16:09,750
and as a reminder we're going to remain

1526
01:16:14,550 --> 01:16:12,080
live with you throughout this coverage

1527
01:16:16,630 --> 01:16:14,560
uh up until

1528
01:16:17,830 --> 01:16:16,640
the crew has been extracted from the

1529
01:16:20,229 --> 01:16:17,840
vehicle

1530
01:16:21,750 --> 01:16:20,239
and that's a view another view from go

1531
01:16:24,550 --> 01:16:21,760
navigator

1532
01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:24,560
you can see uh the nest right there

1533
01:16:27,990 --> 01:16:25,760
that's where

1534
01:17:03,430 --> 01:16:28,000
crew dragon will be placed once it has

1535
01:17:06,390 --> 01:17:04,790
and we have some people stepping in on

1536
01:17:09,270 --> 01:17:06,400
the nest and you can just see

1537
01:17:12,870 --> 01:17:09,280
sort of the scale uh of that nest and

1538
01:17:13,910 --> 01:17:12,880
really the boat um the dragon capsule is

1539
01:17:16,070 --> 01:17:13,920
um

1540
01:17:17,750 --> 01:17:16,080
you know we throughout today we've seen

1541
01:17:19,510 --> 01:17:17,760
it from a distance resilient spacex

1542
01:17:22,310 --> 01:17:19,520
recovery is proceeding nominally at this

1543
01:17:24,950 --> 01:17:22,320
time the recovery vessel uh is backing

1544
01:17:39,189 --> 01:17:24,960
up towards uh the spacecraft and

1545
01:17:45,030 --> 01:17:42,070
and you can see crew dragon resilience

1546
01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:45,040
within the frame of uh

1547
01:17:50,229 --> 01:17:48,719
that hoist mechanism on go navigator

1548
01:17:52,630 --> 01:17:50,239
the report going out to the crew that

1549
01:17:54,870 --> 01:17:52,640
things continue to proceed nominally and

1550
01:18:00,070 --> 01:17:54,880
we can see that for ourselves as well

1551
01:18:04,870 --> 01:18:02,709
go navigator will continue backing up to

1552
01:18:07,669 --> 01:18:04,880
crew dragon until it's close enough to

1553
01:18:09,510 --> 01:18:07,679
attach those lines and hoist the

1554
01:18:13,430 --> 01:18:09,520
spacecraft onto the nest there at the

1555
01:18:17,270 --> 01:18:15,110
yeah as we're saying earlier the

1556
01:18:19,030 --> 01:18:17,280
um the scale really doesn't really put

1557
01:18:21,350 --> 01:18:19,040
into perspective until you you know

1558
01:18:23,590 --> 01:18:21,360
start to put people around um the

1559
01:18:27,910 --> 01:18:23,600
capsule itself is you know over 20 000

1560
01:18:30,390 --> 01:18:27,920
pounds and so uh in the dragon spacex uh

1561
01:18:31,910 --> 01:18:30,400
repeat call we have a we are proceeding

1562
01:18:33,990 --> 01:18:31,920
normally looks like the recovery vessel

1563
01:18:38,229 --> 01:18:34,000
is about one boat length away backing up

1564
01:19:06,790 --> 01:18:40,709
that is great news spacex looking

1565
01:19:10,390 --> 01:19:08,870
continuing to proceed nominally go

1566
01:19:12,790 --> 01:19:10,400
navigator is

1567
01:19:15,910 --> 01:19:12,800
backing up towards the resilience

1568
01:19:22,390 --> 01:19:18,149
as the uh

1569
01:19:27,990 --> 01:19:24,630
get dragon on top of the nest there that

1570
01:19:32,870 --> 01:19:30,149
and once crude dragon is lifted onto the

1571
01:19:35,189 --> 01:19:32,880
nest uh it will shortly afterward be

1572
01:19:38,550 --> 01:19:35,199
pulled toward the egress platform or the

1573
01:19:42,310 --> 01:19:38,560
platform that allows them to exit

1574
01:19:44,790 --> 01:19:42,320
that uh platform is built up

1575
01:19:46,790 --> 01:19:44,800
towards near the uh

1576
01:20:01,189 --> 01:19:46,800
that forward hatch and it should allow

1577
01:20:06,070 --> 01:20:03,030
now been 20 minutes since tonight's

1578
01:20:12,790 --> 01:20:10,310
6 56 gmt 11 56 pm

1579
01:20:14,629 --> 01:20:12,800
pacific time

1580
01:20:17,430 --> 01:20:14,639
mike hopkins victor glover shannon

1581
01:20:19,510 --> 01:20:17,440
walker and suicina gucci

1582
01:20:21,350 --> 01:20:19,520
all inside crew dragon

1583
01:20:23,669 --> 01:20:21,360
and recovery operations proceed

1584
01:20:26,629 --> 01:20:23,679
nominally

1585
01:20:28,709 --> 01:20:26,639
so we are now waiting excitedly for the

1586
01:20:31,350 --> 01:20:28,719
recovery of our dragon spacecraft with

1587
01:20:34,550 --> 01:20:31,360
nasa astronauts mike hopkins victor

1588
01:20:38,310 --> 01:20:34,560
glover shannon walker and jaxa astronaut

1589
01:20:40,790 --> 01:20:38,320
so ichinoguchi inside dragon has already

1590
01:20:42,070 --> 01:20:40,800
autonomously completed several steps to

1591
01:20:43,910 --> 01:20:42,080
safe itself

1592
01:20:45,910 --> 01:20:43,920
following splashdown

1593
01:20:47,669 --> 01:20:45,920
for the for those of you just joining us

1594
01:20:50,310 --> 01:20:47,679
the mission has gone smoothly so far

1595
01:20:51,990 --> 01:20:50,320
dragon uh successfully splashed down in

1596
01:20:54,709 --> 01:20:52,000
the gulf of mexico off the coast of

1597
01:20:58,550 --> 01:20:54,719
panama city florida at approximately 11

1598
01:21:03,669 --> 01:20:58,560
56 a.m or p.m pacific time

1599
01:21:08,390 --> 01:21:05,910
the dragon spacex rigging is complete

1600
01:21:11,750 --> 01:21:08,400
approximately five minutes until capsule

1601
01:21:20,310 --> 01:21:13,270
resilience got these five minutes to

1602
01:21:24,629 --> 01:21:21,910
and that's good news they will continue

1603
01:21:26,790 --> 01:21:24,639
to get closer to the spacecraft

1604
01:21:29,030 --> 01:21:26,800
with rigging complete meaning it will be

1605
01:21:31,030 --> 01:21:29,040
able to be hoisted in five minutes from

1606
01:21:34,070 --> 01:21:31,040
now but approximately six and a half

1607
01:21:35,830 --> 01:21:34,080
hours ago a dragon autonomously undocked

1608
01:21:37,830 --> 01:21:35,840
from the international space station

1609
01:21:39,830 --> 01:21:37,840
completed a series of departure burns

1610
01:21:41,910 --> 01:21:39,840
jettisoned its trunk section and

1611
01:21:43,990 --> 01:21:41,920
performed its final burn the do orbit

1612
01:21:46,149 --> 01:21:44,000
burn she placed itself on a trajectory

1613
01:21:47,990 --> 01:21:46,159
toward the gulf of mexico

1614
01:21:49,350 --> 01:21:48,000
the dragon successfully reentered the

1615
01:21:51,270 --> 01:21:49,360
earth's atmosphere followed by

1616
01:21:53,990 --> 01:21:51,280
deployment of its parachutes to slow the

1617
01:21:56,470 --> 01:21:54,000
spacecraft down to a gentle splashdown

1618
01:21:58,229 --> 01:21:56,480
at just about 16 miles per hour and

1619
01:22:00,550 --> 01:21:58,239
we're now following the final part of

1620
01:22:02,790 --> 01:22:00,560
mike victor shannon and suici's journey

1621
01:22:06,229 --> 01:22:02,800
as dragon is lifted out of the water and

1622
01:22:09,590 --> 01:22:08,070
upon detection of landing dragon

1623
01:22:12,390 --> 01:22:09,600
automatically releases the main

1624
01:22:14,870 --> 01:22:12,400
parachutes to prevent wind from pulling

1625
01:22:17,030 --> 01:22:14,880
the spacecraft dragon then automatically

1626
01:22:18,870 --> 01:22:17,040
saves any pyrotechnics still present on

1627
01:22:20,870 --> 01:22:18,880
the vehicle and may automatically

1628
01:22:23,430 --> 01:22:20,880
perform additional minor system

1629
01:22:26,149 --> 01:22:23,440
reconfigurations the astronauts do

1630
01:22:28,070 --> 01:22:26,159
remain seated and in their suits at this

1631
01:22:30,470 --> 01:22:28,080
point but the on-board air conditioning

1632
01:22:32,470 --> 01:22:30,480
keeps temperatures in check inside of

1633
01:22:34,790 --> 01:22:32,480
the spacecraft and the communication

1634
01:22:36,709 --> 01:22:34,800
systems on board remain powered so the

1635
01:22:39,750 --> 01:22:36,719
crew can continue to communicate with

1636
01:22:41,669 --> 01:22:39,760
ground spacex has two fast boats in the

1637
01:22:44,550 --> 01:22:41,679
recovery fleet which moved quickly to

1638
01:22:46,390 --> 01:22:44,560
the splashdown point and they have been

1639
01:22:48,870 --> 01:22:46,400
joined by go navigator which is the main

1640
01:22:50,950 --> 01:22:48,880
recovery vessel in your screen now and

1641
01:22:53,270 --> 01:22:50,960
that has moved into position near the

1642
01:22:55,990 --> 01:22:53,280
spacecraft those two fast boats have

1643
01:22:58,070 --> 01:22:56,000
very specific roles on first approach

1644
01:23:00,149 --> 01:22:58,080
it's immediately focused on safety

1645
01:23:01,510 --> 01:23:00,159
inspection of the capsule integrity and

1646
01:23:03,189 --> 01:23:01,520
checking for any presence of those

1647
01:23:05,350 --> 01:23:03,199
hypergolic propellant vapors we've been

1648
01:23:07,430 --> 01:23:05,360
talking about ensuring that it is safe

1649
01:23:09,750 --> 01:23:07,440
for go navigator to approach the dragon

1650
01:23:11,510 --> 01:23:09,760
spacecraft once the capsule is cleared

1651
01:23:13,430 --> 01:23:11,520
for full approach the team begins

1652
01:23:15,750 --> 01:23:13,440
rigging the capsule for water recovery

1653
01:23:18,229 --> 01:23:15,760
by the recovery ship which we recently

1654
01:23:20,070 --> 01:23:18,239
heard was completed and the second fast

1655
01:23:22,550 --> 01:23:20,080
boat is responsible for parachute

1656
01:23:25,270 --> 01:23:22,560
recovery and also serves as a redundant

1657
01:23:26,229 --> 01:23:25,280
boat to the first and we saw that team

1658
01:23:28,629 --> 01:23:26,239
member

1659
01:23:33,270 --> 01:23:28,639
or on a jet ski helping to gather up the

1660
01:23:37,030 --> 01:23:35,030
so it took about 10 minutes for the

1661
01:23:38,870 --> 01:23:37,040
recovery crew to complete their safety

1662
01:23:40,709 --> 01:23:38,880
checks um

1663
01:23:43,270 --> 01:23:40,719
once complete the team will

1664
01:23:45,270 --> 01:23:43,280
begin preparing dragon to be lifted into

1665
01:23:47,350 --> 01:23:45,280
the recovery vessel and as part of this

1666
01:23:49,910 --> 01:23:47,360
preparation one member of the recovery

1667
01:23:51,750 --> 01:23:49,920
team will climb up on top of the capsule

1668
01:23:53,990 --> 01:23:51,760
and rig the

1669
01:23:55,830 --> 01:23:54,000
dragon spacecraft as they just did a few

1670
01:23:58,470 --> 01:23:55,840
moments ago and then from there it will

1671
01:24:00,070 --> 01:23:58,480
take less than an hour to raise dragon

1672
01:24:02,390 --> 01:24:00,080
to the recovery

1673
01:24:03,830 --> 01:24:02,400
boat and remove the crew from the

1674
01:24:05,350 --> 01:24:03,840
spacecraft

1675
01:24:07,189 --> 01:24:05,360
and then after that after medical

1676
01:24:09,590 --> 01:24:07,199
checkouts the crew will return to land

1677
01:24:11,990 --> 01:24:09,600
within four hours either by boat or

1678
01:24:14,550 --> 01:24:12,000
helicopter depending on the landing site

1679
01:24:18,070 --> 01:24:14,560
so um if no medical assistance is needed

1680
01:24:19,990 --> 01:24:18,080
the crew will depart for houston

1681
01:24:20,709 --> 01:24:20,000
and now if you look very closely you can

1682
01:24:22,149 --> 01:24:20,719
see

1683
01:24:25,110 --> 01:24:22,159
uh down to the bottom right of the

1684
01:24:27,030 --> 01:24:25,120
capsule there is one attachment

1685
01:24:29,189 --> 01:24:27,040
on crew dragon there will be multiple to

1686
01:24:30,790 --> 01:24:29,199
keep the and there's another on the left

1687
01:24:33,270 --> 01:24:30,800
there will be multiple to keep the the

1688
01:24:35,669 --> 01:24:33,280
spacecraft from swinging when it once it

1689
01:24:37,750 --> 01:24:35,679
is hoisted out of the water

1690
01:24:41,030 --> 01:24:37,760
and it'll very very quickly be placed on

1691
01:25:38,229 --> 01:24:41,040
that dragon nest waiting just below

1692
01:25:42,950 --> 01:25:40,390
and as you can see crew dragon now at

1693
01:25:45,350 --> 01:25:42,960
multiple attachment points uh to that

1694
01:25:50,709 --> 01:25:45,360
system on go navigator again spacex

1695
01:25:50,719 --> 01:25:56,310
copy 90 seconds thanks

1696
01:26:00,870 --> 01:25:58,149
so about a minute and a half until we

1697
01:26:02,390 --> 01:26:00,880
see crew dragon removed from the water

1698
01:26:04,229 --> 01:26:02,400
and there's still a team member up on

1699
01:26:06,629 --> 01:26:04,239
the front of it that's likely the same

1700
01:26:09,030 --> 01:26:06,639
team member who helped rig the system

1701
01:26:18,790 --> 01:26:09,040
and prepare it for attachment to

1702
01:26:23,270 --> 01:26:20,229
and as we mentioned earlier this

1703
01:26:26,310 --> 01:26:23,280
splashdown a new record

1704
01:26:29,430 --> 01:26:26,320
breaking the old record for the longest

1705
01:26:32,709 --> 01:26:29,440
crude capsule in orbit from america

1706
01:26:35,510 --> 01:26:32,719
previously held by the final skylab crew

1707
01:26:38,629 --> 01:26:35,520
at 84 days one hour and 15 minutes

1708
01:26:40,870 --> 01:26:38,639
and this crew returning with 168 days in

1709
01:26:55,030 --> 01:26:40,880
space and doubling

1710
01:26:55,040 --> 01:27:00,149
dragon spacex brace for capsule lift

1711
01:27:00,159 --> 01:27:26,229
okay so we're here at the lift

1712
01:27:31,270 --> 01:27:28,149
free dragon resilience

1713
01:27:33,189 --> 01:27:31,280
now out of the water

1714
01:27:35,350 --> 01:27:33,199
being prepared to

1715
01:27:44,229 --> 01:27:35,360
be placed on that dragon nest in the

1716
01:27:48,550 --> 01:27:46,470
and just an hour ago this capsule had

1717
01:27:50,470 --> 01:27:48,560
just completed the deorbit burn and was

1718
01:27:54,310 --> 01:27:50,480
still in space

1719
01:27:58,149 --> 01:27:56,470
to go navigator

1720
01:28:20,470 --> 01:27:58,159
the first time for these crew members to

1721
01:28:23,110 --> 01:28:21,750
pretty much on

1722
01:28:24,790 --> 01:28:23,120
the center of the screen you can see the

1723
01:28:26,629 --> 01:28:24,800
side hatch

1724
01:28:27,830 --> 01:28:26,639
of the dragon capsules

1725
01:28:31,189 --> 01:28:27,840
later on today that's where the

1726
01:28:32,070 --> 01:28:31,199
astronauts will be egressing from

1727
01:28:33,590 --> 01:28:32,080
when they were attached to the

1728
01:28:35,590 --> 01:28:33,600
international space station they exited

1729
01:28:42,229 --> 01:28:35,600
from the top hatch where the nose cone

1730
01:28:45,990 --> 01:28:43,830
and those two

1731
01:28:48,629 --> 01:28:46,000
holes essentially that you see up toward

1732
01:28:50,550 --> 01:28:48,639
the top of the nose cone above the

1733
01:28:52,709 --> 01:28:50,560
resilience welcome aboard the recovery

1734
01:28:54,950 --> 01:28:52,719
vessel recovery personnel are completing

1735
01:28:56,550 --> 01:28:54,960
final checks standby for transition

1736
01:29:00,229 --> 01:28:56,560
translation of the egress platform in a

1737
01:29:00,239 --> 01:29:05,430
brazilians copy

1738
01:29:10,790 --> 01:29:09,030
those those two holes aboard the uh

1739
01:29:13,350 --> 01:29:10,800
aboard the crew dragon above the hatch

1740
01:29:15,110 --> 01:29:13,360
and close to the nose cone those are

1741
01:29:17,430 --> 01:29:15,120
uh where the drogue parachutes were

1742
01:29:19,990 --> 01:29:17,440
stored in that upper bulkhead

1743
01:29:22,310 --> 01:29:20,000
and there's near a deployable panel so

1744
01:29:24,229 --> 01:29:22,320
they're deployed by two drogue mortars

1745
01:29:26,790 --> 01:29:24,239
which are pyrotechnics fire to deploy

1746
01:29:28,629 --> 01:29:26,800
the chutes

1747
01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:28,639
and those four main parachutes are also

1748
01:29:32,390 --> 01:29:30,400
stored under deployable panels but those

1749
01:29:34,550 --> 01:29:32,400
are near the base of the spacecraft so

1750
01:29:36,070 --> 01:29:34,560
below that side hatch panel

1751
01:29:38,229 --> 01:29:36,080
and those were drawn out by the drogue

1752
01:29:40,950 --> 01:29:38,239
chutes everything just absolutely

1753
01:29:42,790 --> 01:29:40,960
flawless tonight

1754
01:29:45,510 --> 01:29:42,800
with the recovery of crew dragon

1755
01:29:49,430 --> 01:29:47,189
so before opening the hatch the

1756
01:29:51,990 --> 01:29:49,440
spacecraft's cabin pressure must be

1757
01:29:53,910 --> 01:29:52,000
equalized with the outside environment

1758
01:29:56,470 --> 01:29:53,920
so once the hatch is open that will be

1759
01:29:58,950 --> 01:29:56,480
mike victor shannon and soichi's first

1760
01:30:01,110 --> 01:29:58,960
breath of fresh air since boarding

1761
01:30:06,629 --> 01:30:01,120
falcon 9 at the start of their mission

1762
01:30:10,870 --> 01:30:08,950
the next visual we are looking for is

1763
01:30:14,390 --> 01:30:10,880
for dragon to be pulled toward the

1764
01:30:16,709 --> 01:30:14,400
egress platform uh on the dragon nest so

1765
01:30:18,310 --> 01:30:16,719
they will move toward the platform that

1766
01:30:19,590 --> 01:30:18,320
is

1767
01:30:21,990 --> 01:30:19,600
up toward the

1768
01:30:24,629 --> 01:30:22,000
side hatch that'll allow for

1769
01:30:31,510 --> 01:30:24,639
easier extraction removal of the crew

1770
01:30:34,950 --> 01:30:33,510
it's important to note that mike victor

1771
01:30:36,790 --> 01:30:34,960
shannon and suici will be getting

1772
01:30:38,950 --> 01:30:36,800
assistance from the recovery teams while

1773
01:30:41,510 --> 01:30:38,960
exiting the capsule this is the same

1774
01:30:43,270 --> 01:30:41,520
process for any returning long duration

1775
01:30:44,709 --> 01:30:43,280
crew members as returning to a gravity

1776
01:30:46,390 --> 01:30:44,719
environment can

1777
01:30:48,550 --> 01:30:46,400
essentially wreak havoc with our

1778
01:30:50,950 --> 01:30:48,560
vestibular system which is responsible

1779
01:30:52,870 --> 01:30:50,960
for maintaining our balance and motion

1780
01:30:54,790 --> 01:30:52,880
and safety is our number one priority

1781
01:30:56,229 --> 01:30:54,800
with this operation as you've seen

1782
01:30:59,350 --> 01:30:56,239
throughout not just today but this

1783
01:31:01,270 --> 01:30:59,360
entire mission so you'll see all uh mike

1784
01:31:03,350 --> 01:31:01,280
victor shannon and suici helped out of

1785
01:31:08,390 --> 01:31:03,360
the capsule

1786
01:31:10,070 --> 01:31:08,400
today but they will be assisted a few

1787
01:31:12,149 --> 01:31:10,080
feet to the medical quarters aboard the

1788
01:31:14,310 --> 01:31:12,159
boat and we discussed earlier if you've

1789
01:31:15,990 --> 01:31:14,320
seen crews return on a soyuz it's the

1790
01:31:17,590 --> 01:31:16,000
same process as when astronauts are

1791
01:31:20,229 --> 01:31:17,600
carried from the capsule to waiting

1792
01:31:21,510 --> 01:31:20,239
chairs and then carried into the nearby

1793
01:31:23,110 --> 01:31:21,520
medical tent

1794
01:31:24,950 --> 01:31:23,120
this is also the period where any time

1795
01:31:27,030 --> 01:31:24,960
critical cargo can be removed from the

1796
01:31:29,590 --> 01:31:27,040
spacecraft with the remainder waiting

1797
01:31:31,110 --> 01:31:29,600
until the ship is back in port

1798
01:31:32,950 --> 01:31:31,120
once the ship and capsule return the

1799
01:31:35,510 --> 01:31:32,960
recovery team will perform additional

1800
01:31:37,750 --> 01:31:35,520
inspections before loading dragon onto a

1801
01:31:40,470 --> 01:31:37,760
flat flatbed truck at the spacex

1802
01:32:09,189 --> 01:31:40,480
facility in cape canaveral for post

1803
01:32:15,350 --> 01:32:12,550
so the crew just secured a dragon

1804
01:32:17,510 --> 01:32:15,360
onto the recovery vessel and now it's

1805
01:32:18,950 --> 01:32:17,520
moving

1806
01:32:23,110 --> 01:32:18,960
towards the platform where eventually

1807
01:32:31,030 --> 01:32:24,870
more personnel assisting with the

1808
01:32:36,550 --> 01:32:33,669
and that platform coming right below

1809
01:32:38,470 --> 01:32:36,560
the side hatch making it much easier for

1810
01:32:39,669 --> 01:32:38,480
teams to help the crew egress or exit

1811
01:32:41,430 --> 01:32:39,679
the vehicle

1812
01:32:43,270 --> 01:32:41,440
and this is the first time that this

1813
01:32:46,310 --> 01:32:43,280
side hatch will be opened

1814
01:32:47,590 --> 01:32:46,320
since launch day november 15th

1815
01:32:49,750 --> 01:32:47,600
the the hatch that's used on the

1816
01:32:51,590 --> 01:32:49,760
international space station is that

1817
01:32:53,270 --> 01:32:51,600
forward hatch underneath the nose cone

1818
01:32:55,430 --> 01:32:53,280
which is currently closed at the top of

1819
01:32:58,070 --> 01:32:55,440
the vehicle so as soon as this was

1820
01:33:00,709 --> 01:32:58,080
sealed by spacex teams back in november

1821
01:33:02,790 --> 01:33:00,719
it has not been reopened since

1822
01:33:18,950 --> 01:33:02,800
and we see teams still preparing the

1823
01:33:23,590 --> 01:33:21,669
so to still be a few minutes before

1824
01:33:25,270 --> 01:33:23,600
we have hatch opening again we need to

1825
01:33:26,870 --> 01:33:25,280
make sure that the cabin pressure is

1826
01:33:29,189 --> 01:33:26,880
equalized to

1827
01:33:31,189 --> 01:33:29,199
the ambient pressure outside the team

1828
01:33:34,070 --> 01:33:31,199
also performs a few checks to make sure

1829
01:33:37,750 --> 01:33:34,080
that everything is a go before we um

1830
01:33:40,390 --> 01:33:37,760
open up that side hatch

1831
01:33:41,350 --> 01:33:40,400
it's been about 35 minutes

1832
01:33:43,510 --> 01:33:41,360
since

1833
01:33:45,750 --> 01:33:43,520
crew one splashed down so you can see

1834
01:33:46,629 --> 01:33:45,760
just how exponent this process already

1835
01:33:48,790 --> 01:33:46,639
is

1836
01:34:06,550 --> 01:33:48,800
uh having the capsule on board and

1837
01:34:11,110 --> 01:34:08,790
and all of the parachutes both the drugs

1838
01:34:22,950 --> 01:34:11,120
and the main chutes have been located

1839
01:34:29,350 --> 01:34:25,510
spacex residents

1840
01:34:34,870 --> 01:34:31,270
hey solo you guys are welcome to come on

1841
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:39,750
spacex copies and work

1842
01:34:44,390 --> 01:34:41,990
and solo you got uh one more call before

1843
01:34:46,470 --> 01:34:44,400
we wrap things up is that correct

1844
01:34:47,990 --> 01:34:46,480
affirmative we have a few uh technicians

1845
01:34:50,310 --> 01:34:48,000
just uh doing some work on the exterior

1846
01:35:01,750 --> 01:34:50,320
of the hatch we should be uh ready to

1847
01:35:06,310 --> 01:35:03,669
now the crew members will

1848
01:35:09,510 --> 01:35:06,320
not ride this boat all the way back to

1849
01:35:11,750 --> 01:35:09,520
shore they will board a helicopter

1850
01:35:14,070 --> 01:35:11,760
and that helicopter will

1851
01:35:17,109 --> 01:35:14,080
take them um

1852
01:35:19,430 --> 01:35:17,119
back to pensacola

1853
01:35:28,149 --> 01:35:19,440
and waiting there will be a nasa plane

1854
01:35:30,629 --> 01:35:29,750
it's quite surreal

1855
01:35:33,189 --> 01:35:30,639
that

1856
01:35:35,669 --> 01:35:33,199
about seven hours ago this capsule uh

1857
01:35:41,109 --> 01:35:35,679
was traveling at over a dragon stand by

1858
01:35:47,350 --> 01:35:44,870
okay solo we are standing by

1859
01:35:50,709 --> 01:35:47,360
and uh while i'm thinking about it uh

1860
01:35:53,750 --> 01:35:50,719
solo for spacex and the nasa teams

1861
01:35:55,750 --> 01:35:53,760
on behalf of uh crew one and

1862
01:35:58,070 --> 01:35:55,760
and our families we just want to say

1863
01:36:00,870 --> 01:35:58,080
thank you we want to say thank you for

1864
01:36:03,910 --> 01:36:00,880
this amazing vehicle resilience

1865
01:36:05,109 --> 01:36:03,920
um i we said it before the mission and

1866
01:36:06,950 --> 01:36:05,119
and i'm going to say it again here

1867
01:36:08,310 --> 01:36:06,960
afterwards it's amazing what can be

1868
01:36:10,709 --> 01:36:08,320
accomplished

1869
01:36:13,030 --> 01:36:10,719
when uh when people come together

1870
01:36:14,709 --> 01:36:13,040
um so finally i'd just like to say quite

1871
01:36:16,870 --> 01:36:14,719
frankly uh you all are changing the

1872
01:36:25,270 --> 01:36:16,880
world congratulations it's great to be

1873
01:36:28,390 --> 01:36:26,870
and hopper thanks so much you've got a

1874
01:36:29,590 --> 01:36:28,400
round of applause here at mission

1875
01:36:31,430 --> 01:36:29,600
control

1876
01:36:33,750 --> 01:36:31,440
and uh from all of us it's truly been

1877
01:36:35,830 --> 01:36:33,760
epic working with your team uh from

1878
01:36:37,510 --> 01:36:35,840
early development through splashdown

1879
01:36:40,870 --> 01:36:37,520
uh of the world's first long duration

1880
01:36:43,430 --> 01:36:40,880
spaceflight uh human spaceflight uh your

1881
01:36:45,590 --> 01:36:43,440
crew is really a tribute to resilience's

1882
01:36:47,350 --> 01:36:45,600
name we wish you all happy reunions with

01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:57,750
spacex you solo thank you all

1885
01:37:03,270 --> 01:37:00,470
so we had some kind words exchanged

1886
01:37:06,790 --> 01:37:03,280
from the core and my copy mike hopkins

1887
01:37:08,310 --> 01:37:06,800
the commander the hatch is now open uh

1888
01:37:09,750 --> 01:37:08,320
we also heard some applause and mission

1889
01:37:11,189 --> 01:37:09,760
control here in

1890
01:37:13,590 --> 01:37:11,199
spacex just a tremendous amount of

1891
01:37:15,030 --> 01:37:13,600
dedication that has gone into this

1892
01:37:17,030 --> 01:37:15,040
particular mission over the last couple

1893
01:37:19,189 --> 01:37:17,040
of years and so we're really seeing the

1894
01:37:21,350 --> 01:37:19,199
fruits of the labor now uh really ending

1895
01:37:23,030 --> 01:37:21,360
the mission and uh you know

1896
01:37:25,910 --> 01:37:23,040
just seven hours ago this this capsule

1897
01:37:27,430 --> 01:37:25,920
was traveling over 17 000 miles an hour

1898
01:37:29,510 --> 01:37:27,440
in space docked to the international

1899
01:37:32,709 --> 01:37:29,520
space station and now it's safely

1900
01:37:37,590 --> 01:37:32,719
secured um back on earth and we have the

1901
01:37:41,910 --> 01:37:39,669
and that hatch open for the first time

1902
01:37:44,870 --> 01:37:41,920
as we mentioned since launch day

1903
01:37:46,709 --> 01:37:44,880
november 15 2020 these astronauts

1904
01:37:49,189 --> 01:37:46,719
completing the first

1905
01:37:51,430 --> 01:37:49,199
long-duration commercial crew mission

1906
01:37:52,470 --> 01:37:51,440
and now holding the record for the

1907
01:37:55,270 --> 01:37:52,480
longest

1908
01:38:12,390 --> 01:37:55,280
uh time in space by an american crewed

1909
01:38:16,149 --> 01:38:14,229
and with that side hatch being open as

1910
01:38:19,350 --> 01:38:16,159
we discussed the first people to speak

1911
01:38:21,590 --> 01:38:19,360
with uh mike victor shannon and suici

1912
01:38:23,109 --> 01:38:21,600
are the medical team and as we heard

1913
01:38:24,629 --> 01:38:23,119
earlier the crew did report that they

1914
01:38:26,310 --> 01:38:24,639
were feeling well

1915
01:38:28,870 --> 01:38:26,320
but still important to get checked out

1916
01:38:30,709 --> 01:38:28,880
after spending six months in space

1917
01:38:32,550 --> 01:38:30,719
they will eventually be

1918
01:38:35,510 --> 01:38:32,560
removed from the castle and put on

1919
01:39:01,109 --> 01:38:35,520
stretchers to take and taken to

1920
01:39:07,990 --> 01:39:03,830
we're coming up on 40 40 minutes since

1921
01:39:16,629 --> 01:39:11,830
that capsule splashing down at 656 gmt

1922
01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:18,629
returning crew one aboard crew dragon

1923
01:39:23,030 --> 01:39:21,760
resilience that side hatch now open crew

1924
01:39:25,669 --> 01:39:23,040
members

1925
01:40:12,629 --> 01:39:25,679
speaking with medical personnel

1926
01:40:16,229 --> 01:40:14,550
everything was on the timeline for crew

1927
01:40:19,590 --> 01:40:16,239
dragon today

1928
01:40:22,390 --> 01:40:19,600
undocking at 5 35 p.m pacific time

1929
01:40:24,310 --> 01:40:22,400
completing those four departure burns as

1930
01:40:27,830 --> 01:40:24,320
well as

1931
01:40:30,149 --> 01:40:27,840
nose cone or as cloth separation and

1932
01:40:31,750 --> 01:40:30,159
trunk jettison we had some amazing views

1933
01:40:35,590 --> 01:40:31,760
from the international space station

1934
01:40:40,790 --> 01:40:38,310
that deorbit burn lasting the scheduled

1935
01:40:43,669 --> 01:40:40,800
16 and a half minutes

1936
01:40:46,390 --> 01:40:43,679
slowing down crew dragon just enough to

1937
01:40:48,629 --> 01:40:46,400
drop them out of earth's orbit begin

1938
01:40:51,030 --> 01:40:48,639
their re-entry into the atmosphere we

1939
01:40:52,790 --> 01:40:51,040
saw both drogue parachutes deployed

1940
01:40:55,910 --> 01:40:52,800
nominally followed by

1941
01:40:58,870 --> 01:40:55,920
four good main parachutes and a soft

1942
01:41:01,030 --> 01:40:58,880
splashdown as scheduled in the gulf of

1943
01:41:02,550 --> 01:41:01,040
mexico off the coast of panama city

1944
01:41:08,870 --> 01:41:02,560
florida

1945
01:41:11,430 --> 01:41:08,880
at 11 56 p.m pacific time 6 56 gmt

1946
01:41:13,350 --> 01:41:11,440
and after splashdown we

1947
01:41:14,310 --> 01:41:13,360
saw the two fast boats approaching the

1948
01:41:15,510 --> 01:41:14,320
vehicle

1949
01:41:17,750 --> 01:41:15,520
the first one

1950
01:41:20,070 --> 01:41:17,760
made sure the area was safe for approach

1951
01:41:21,990 --> 01:41:20,080
and then one of the riggers climbed on

1952
01:41:23,830 --> 01:41:22,000
top of the capsule and started preparing

1953
01:41:26,390 --> 01:41:23,840
it for

1954
01:41:28,390 --> 01:41:26,400
the eventual hoist and lift onto

1955
01:41:30,790 --> 01:41:28,400
the boat that is on screen right now go

1956
01:41:33,750 --> 01:41:30,800
navigator

1957
01:41:35,430 --> 01:41:33,760
really the as soon as we got visuals of

1958
01:41:37,430 --> 01:41:35,440
dragon those boats

1959
01:41:40,229 --> 01:41:37,440
really headed over there as fast as they

1960
01:41:43,109 --> 01:41:40,239
could and tried to expedite the process

1961
01:41:46,629 --> 01:41:43,119
and now we're here the the capsule is on

1962
01:41:48,470 --> 01:41:46,639
the boat it's secured uh hatch is open

1963
01:41:50,790 --> 01:41:48,480
and we have some personnel tending to

1964
01:41:53,750 --> 01:41:50,800
the astronauts right now and make sure

1965
01:41:56,470 --> 01:41:53,760
everything is a-ok after what really has

1966
01:41:58,709 --> 01:41:56,480
been a picture-perfect mission

1967
01:42:00,629 --> 01:41:58,719
so far

1968
01:42:03,830 --> 01:42:00,639
the crew remains on the timeline to

1969
01:42:07,510 --> 01:42:03,840
egress or exit dragon uh in under an

1970
01:42:09,189 --> 01:42:07,520
hour after splashdown so

1971
01:42:11,350 --> 01:42:09,199
they still have um

1972
01:42:13,669 --> 01:42:11,360
about 20 minutes until we reach or 18

1973
01:42:15,030 --> 01:42:13,679
minutes until we reach that hour mark

1974
01:42:17,510 --> 01:42:15,040
and we are

1975
01:42:19,910 --> 01:42:17,520
perfectly on scheduled for

1976
01:42:22,229 --> 01:42:19,920
the hatch to have been opened at its

1977
01:42:24,310 --> 01:42:22,239
time and we just saw one of those

1978
01:42:26,070 --> 01:42:24,320
tablets being removed that the crew

1979
01:42:33,669 --> 01:42:26,080
members were using to

1980
01:42:38,550 --> 01:42:36,070
just as it takes a little while to get

1981
01:42:42,070 --> 01:42:38,560
crew members strapped in properly

1982
01:42:45,669 --> 01:42:43,990
preparing for launch we we see the same

1983
01:42:47,510 --> 01:42:45,679
thing whenever they come home we want to

1984
01:42:49,750 --> 01:42:47,520
make sure that everything is done in an

1985
01:43:22,470 --> 01:42:49,760
orderly fashion and

1986
01:43:30,870 --> 01:43:24,870
seems removing a few parts to make room

1987
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:35,910
and that looked like those

1988
01:43:39,830 --> 01:43:38,149
foot foot rests essentially i'm not sure

1989
01:44:05,350 --> 01:43:39,840
the best thing to call them i can't

1990
01:44:11,510 --> 01:44:07,510
you can see those two windows on either

1991
01:44:15,030 --> 01:44:13,590
gave the astronauts a view

1992
01:44:17,030 --> 01:44:15,040
earlier they said they had a great view

1993
01:44:18,870 --> 01:44:17,040
of the international space station and

1994
01:44:20,709 --> 01:44:18,880
even upon launch day they gave us some

1995
01:44:22,709 --> 01:44:20,719
views as they were

1996
01:44:24,470 --> 01:44:22,719
heading to the space station so those

1997
01:44:26,229 --> 01:44:24,480
are their their two windows that they've

1998
01:44:27,590 --> 01:44:26,239
been able to look at

1999
01:44:28,870 --> 01:44:27,600
look out

2000
01:45:30,950 --> 01:44:28,880
during their journey aboard this

2001
01:45:35,990 --> 01:45:33,590
for those just joining us um on screen

2002
01:45:37,910 --> 01:45:36,000
right now is the crew

2003
01:45:39,350 --> 01:45:37,920
one capsule resilience

2004
01:45:41,270 --> 01:45:39,360
has returned

2005
01:45:42,950 --> 01:45:41,280
from space

2006
01:45:44,390 --> 01:45:42,960
um

2007
01:45:47,030 --> 01:45:44,400
we are on

2008
01:45:48,070 --> 01:45:47,040
sort of the back end of the recovery

2009
01:45:52,070 --> 01:45:48,080
vessel

2010
01:45:53,910 --> 01:45:52,080
uh go navigator and here is uh

2011
01:45:55,350 --> 01:45:53,920
i think that's mike hopkins the

2012
01:45:58,310 --> 01:45:55,360
commander

2013
01:46:01,510 --> 01:45:58,320
uh he's very excited feeling pretty good

2014
01:46:03,910 --> 01:46:01,520
after six months in space

2015
01:46:07,350 --> 01:46:03,920
this is just excellent to see

2016
01:46:13,189 --> 01:46:11,030
coming out of the dragon vehicle

2017
01:46:14,550 --> 01:46:13,199
so just off the coast of panama city

2018
01:46:16,629 --> 01:46:14,560
florida

2019
01:46:18,149 --> 01:46:16,639
and the hatch has been opened there was

2020
01:46:20,629 --> 01:46:18,159
some materials that removed looks like

2021
01:46:22,310 --> 01:46:20,639
the seat rests were removed or the

2022
01:46:24,470 --> 01:46:22,320
um

2023
01:46:27,590 --> 01:46:24,480
the footrests were removed and now we

2024
01:46:29,990 --> 01:46:27,600
just saw the commander mike hopkins

2025
01:46:41,109 --> 01:46:30,000
exit the vehicle

2026
01:46:45,109 --> 01:46:43,030
as we mentioned these crew will be crew

2027
01:46:47,669 --> 01:46:45,119
members will be making their way over to

2028
01:46:49,510 --> 01:46:47,679
some medical checks uh standard

2029
01:46:51,109 --> 01:46:49,520
procedure for us when we have crew

2030
01:46:53,590 --> 01:46:51,119
members returning from long-duration

2031
01:46:55,189 --> 01:46:53,600
space flight or any space flight really

2032
01:46:57,990 --> 01:46:55,199
when we are

2033
01:47:00,229 --> 01:46:58,000
having crew members return on a soyuz

2034
01:47:03,030 --> 01:47:00,239
spacecraft in kazakhstan there is a

2035
01:47:05,030 --> 01:47:03,040
medical tent nearby and we carry those

2036
01:47:07,189 --> 01:47:05,040
crew members from the spacecraft to the

2037
01:47:08,310 --> 01:47:07,199
medical tent for their checkouts so even

2038
01:47:09,990 --> 01:47:08,320
though the crew has reported they're

2039
01:47:12,629 --> 01:47:10,000
feeling good and it certainly looked

2040
01:47:14,149 --> 01:47:12,639
like mike hopkins was feeling good

2041
01:47:17,590 --> 01:47:14,159
they will still get those standard

2042
01:47:21,669 --> 01:47:17,600
medical checks before boarding a

2043
01:47:24,790 --> 01:47:21,679
helicopter later this evening to

2044
01:47:26,470 --> 01:47:24,800
take them back to shore

2045
01:47:28,790 --> 01:47:26,480
and once they are

2046
01:47:30,470 --> 01:47:28,800
on land in florida they will board a

2047
01:47:31,910 --> 01:47:30,480
nasa plane to bring them back to

2048
01:47:33,750 --> 01:47:31,920
ellington field

2049
01:47:35,830 --> 01:47:33,760
in houston texas where they can be

2050
01:47:42,790 --> 01:47:35,840
reunited with friends and family for the

2051
01:47:47,270 --> 01:47:45,270
in the bottom left of your screen there

2052
01:47:49,590 --> 01:47:47,280
is a stretcher there

2053
01:47:51,350 --> 01:47:49,600
again that is standard

2054
01:47:54,390 --> 01:47:51,360
returning back to earth after such a

2055
01:47:56,470 --> 01:47:54,400
long duration in microgravity has

2056
01:48:04,709 --> 01:47:56,480
it can do things to your body

2057
01:48:12,470 --> 01:48:06,790
those two spacex team members preparing

2058
01:48:18,310 --> 01:48:14,709
and that is a nasa astronaut victor

2059
01:48:23,189 --> 01:48:20,310
and this is a view of mission control in

2060
01:48:27,510 --> 01:48:25,350
continuing to support the mission

2061
01:48:30,310 --> 01:48:27,520
um

2062
01:48:33,030 --> 01:48:30,320
yeah we just saw mike hopkins exit the

2063
01:48:34,149 --> 01:48:33,040
vehicle again uh things are going pretty

2064
01:48:35,669 --> 01:48:34,159
nominally

2065
01:48:37,910 --> 01:48:35,679
the uh

2066
01:48:41,990 --> 01:48:37,920
crew the vehicle had a splashdown at

2067
01:48:44,550 --> 01:48:42,000
approximately 11 56 p.m pacific time

2068
01:48:46,870 --> 01:48:44,560
and shortly after that the recovery team

2069
01:48:48,790 --> 01:48:46,880
began their operations we sent fastballs

2070
01:48:50,629 --> 01:48:48,800
out there to start to sniff out the

2071
01:48:52,870 --> 01:48:50,639
hyper goals and make sure there wasn't

2072
01:48:55,109 --> 01:48:52,880
any toxic vapors in the air began

2073
01:48:58,390 --> 01:48:55,119
rigging the boat and eventually getting

2074
01:49:01,590 --> 01:48:58,400
the dragon capsule on top of the go

2075
01:49:05,270 --> 01:49:01,600
navigator recovery vessel

2076
01:49:07,669 --> 01:49:05,280
and we saw uh mike hawkins out of the

2077
01:49:09,750 --> 01:49:07,679
spacecraft first he did a little dance

2078
01:49:11,910 --> 01:49:09,760
for us to show us just how good he felt

2079
01:49:13,589 --> 01:49:11,920
and then followed by victor glover

2080
01:49:15,350 --> 01:49:13,599
victor glover returning from his first

2081
01:49:17,669 --> 01:49:15,360
space flight he's really the newbie on

2082
01:49:20,550 --> 01:49:17,679
this trip i guess you could say uh he

2083
01:49:22,390 --> 01:49:20,560
served as pilot of crew one crew dragon

2084
01:49:24,870 --> 01:49:22,400
resilience so he was the next out of the

2085
01:49:27,430 --> 01:49:24,880
capsule and uh we are still awaiting two

2086
01:49:30,229 --> 01:49:27,440
more crew members to be removed from the

2087
01:49:32,390 --> 01:49:30,239
capsule and they will be checked out by

2088
01:49:33,990 --> 01:49:32,400
those medical teams on board the ship

2089
01:49:37,109 --> 01:49:34,000
but as we heard earlier they reported

2090
01:49:39,350 --> 01:49:37,119
that they were feeling well

2091
01:49:40,950 --> 01:49:39,360
yeah the two mission specialists that we

2092
01:49:43,430 --> 01:49:40,960
haven't seen yet are

2093
01:49:46,709 --> 01:49:43,440
shannon walker and soichi noguchi who

2094
01:49:50,229 --> 01:49:46,719
sat on sort of on the ends of the seats

2095
01:49:54,950 --> 01:49:52,470
yeah pretty stellar return home today

2096
01:49:56,629 --> 01:49:54,960
only taking about six and a half hours

2097
01:49:57,430 --> 01:49:56,639
from undocking

2098
01:49:58,870 --> 01:49:57,440
to

2099
01:49:59,910 --> 01:49:58,880
splashdown

2100
01:50:01,430 --> 01:49:59,920
and

2101
01:50:03,910 --> 01:50:01,440
you know throughout the

2102
01:50:05,750 --> 01:50:03,920
mission today we had a really great

2103
01:50:06,709 --> 01:50:05,760
feedback about some nominal departure

2104
01:50:07,830 --> 01:50:06,719
burns

2105
01:50:11,430 --> 01:50:07,840
we

2106
01:50:13,350 --> 01:50:11,440
some unnecessary

2107
01:50:15,990 --> 01:50:13,360
propellant from the vehicle to lighten

2108
01:50:17,830 --> 01:50:16,000
the load of the dragon spacecraft and

2109
01:50:21,189 --> 01:50:17,840
then we started to prepare for deorbit

2110
01:50:22,070 --> 01:50:21,199
so we had the

2111
01:50:24,070 --> 01:50:22,080
claw

2112
01:50:27,430 --> 01:50:24,080
retraction or

2113
01:50:30,470 --> 01:50:27,440
separation that is an umbilical that

2114
01:50:33,350 --> 01:50:30,480
ties telemetry data and power from the

2115
01:50:35,589 --> 01:50:33,360
capsule to the trunk so we separated

2116
01:50:37,350 --> 01:50:35,599
that then we also jettisoned the trunk

2117
01:50:39,589 --> 01:50:37,360
shedding a bit more weight and then

2118
01:50:42,310 --> 01:50:39,599
finally we had our deorbit burn which

2119
01:50:45,830 --> 01:50:42,320
took about 16 minutes um

2120
01:50:48,629 --> 01:50:45,840
and then we got some fantastic footage

2121
01:50:50,470 --> 01:50:48,639
of dragon returning back through the

2122
01:50:52,310 --> 01:50:50,480
atmosphere and then eventually when it

2123
01:50:54,070 --> 01:50:52,320
deployed its shoots it was definitely a

2124
01:50:56,390 --> 01:50:54,080
sight to see

2125
01:50:58,790 --> 01:50:56,400
and we saw all of those shoots deployed

2126
01:51:01,830 --> 01:50:58,800
nominally first two drogue shoots that

2127
01:51:04,149 --> 01:51:01,840
slowed the spacecraft down to about 119

2128
01:51:05,990 --> 01:51:04,159
miles per hour those four main shoots

2129
01:51:09,270 --> 01:51:06,000
following and slowing the spacecraft

2130
01:51:11,189 --> 01:51:09,280
down to about uh 16 miles per hour for a

2131
01:51:13,430 --> 01:51:11,199
much softer splashdown

2132
01:51:19,189 --> 01:51:13,440
and that splashdown coming right on time

2133
01:51:22,310 --> 01:51:19,199
at 11 56 p.m pacific time 6 56 gmt so

2134
01:51:24,870 --> 01:51:22,320
uh we have heard that shannon walker is

2135
01:51:27,510 --> 01:51:24,880
now outside of the crew dragon

2136
01:51:29,189 --> 01:51:27,520
resilience capsule leaving soichino

2137
01:51:31,589 --> 01:51:29,199
gucci to be the last crew member

2138
01:51:34,709 --> 01:51:31,599
extracted today and as we mentioned they

2139
01:51:36,229 --> 01:51:34,719
will all get a medical checkouts

2140
01:51:43,510 --> 01:51:36,239
ahead of

2141
01:51:48,070 --> 01:51:45,350
and so quite a

2142
01:51:50,629 --> 01:51:48,080
speedy operations to you know

2143
01:51:52,310 --> 01:51:50,639
get the capsule back onto the boat and

2144
01:51:55,750 --> 01:51:52,320
open up the hatch

2145
01:51:57,270 --> 01:51:55,760
so again we uh mike victor and shannon

2146
01:51:59,510 --> 01:51:57,280
have exited the vehicle and we are

2147
01:52:01,109 --> 01:51:59,520
waiting on soichi confirmation that

2148
01:52:04,310 --> 01:52:01,119
suici is

2149
01:52:06,070 --> 01:52:04,320
also going to exit and again they uh

2150
01:52:08,070 --> 01:52:06,080
are you know going to be checked out to

2151
01:52:09,750 --> 01:52:08,080
make sure everything's okay and then

2152
01:52:11,430 --> 01:52:09,760
eventually make their way back towards

2153
01:52:13,669 --> 01:52:11,440
houston uh where hopefully they can

2154
01:52:15,830 --> 01:52:13,679
reunite with their family soon

2155
01:52:17,990 --> 01:52:15,840
and we expect them to be back in houston

2156
01:52:19,350 --> 01:52:18,000
by the early hours of tomorrow morning

2157
01:52:21,510 --> 01:52:19,360
hopefully

2158
01:52:25,189 --> 01:52:21,520
let's see here

2159
01:52:27,189 --> 01:52:25,199
they should return to houston

2160
01:52:29,589 --> 01:52:27,199
i can't find the exact timeline just at

2161
01:52:31,750 --> 01:52:29,599
this moment but

2162
01:52:33,270 --> 01:52:31,760
they will board a nasa jet once they

2163
01:52:35,830 --> 01:52:33,280
return to

2164
01:52:38,390 --> 01:52:35,840
land in florida um that helicopter

2165
01:52:40,229 --> 01:52:38,400
taking them from go navigator to florida

2166
01:52:41,830 --> 01:52:40,239
and then the nasa plane taking them back

2167
01:52:44,470 --> 01:52:41,840
to ellington field so

2168
01:52:46,790 --> 01:52:44,480
it's quite a speedy recovery process

2169
01:52:49,510 --> 01:52:46,800
you know when we land crew members in

2170
01:52:51,270 --> 01:52:49,520
kazakhstan um we are able to get them

2171
01:52:53,750 --> 01:52:51,280
out of the vehicle very quickly as well

2172
01:52:56,629 --> 01:52:53,760
because it is on land so it's easier to

2173
01:52:59,430 --> 01:52:56,639
approach and to maneuver around

2174
01:53:02,310 --> 01:52:59,440
they get medical checks as well and uh

2175
01:53:03,910 --> 01:53:02,320
and then they board a nasa plane and or

2176
01:53:05,990 --> 01:53:03,920
the nasa astronauts i should say aboard

2177
01:53:07,589 --> 01:53:06,000
a nasa plane and return to houston but

2178
01:53:09,109 --> 01:53:07,599
that flight time is is just so much

2179
01:53:11,109 --> 01:53:09,119
longer simply because it's on the other

2180
01:53:12,709 --> 01:53:11,119
side of the world so quite different for

2181
01:53:15,510 --> 01:53:12,719
these astronauts to

2182
01:53:18,390 --> 01:53:15,520
be reunited with their families um just

2183
01:53:20,070 --> 01:53:18,400
very shortly after landing

2184
01:53:21,270 --> 01:53:20,080
yeah and uh one thing that certainly

2185
01:53:23,030 --> 01:53:21,280
helped the

2186
01:53:23,990 --> 01:53:23,040
speedy recovery options today was the

2187
01:53:25,589 --> 01:53:24,000
weather

2188
01:53:28,070 --> 01:53:25,599
we got

2189
01:53:31,030 --> 01:53:28,080
you know uh good news that wind speed

2190
01:53:33,189 --> 01:53:31,040
was super low and the waves themselves

2191
01:53:33,910 --> 01:53:33,199
were also very very small

2192
01:53:35,830 --> 01:53:33,920
so

2193
01:53:37,910 --> 01:53:35,840
you know if you've been following along

2194
01:53:40,950 --> 01:53:37,920
the original departure date was supposed

2195
01:53:42,550 --> 01:53:40,960
to be on the 28th but we waived uh that

2196
01:53:45,430 --> 01:53:42,560
due to weather and then we also waived

2197
01:53:48,149 --> 01:53:45,440
the attempt on the 30th but

2198
01:53:50,870 --> 01:53:48,159
today conditions definitely seem ideal

2199
01:53:52,629 --> 01:53:50,880
and you know it it definitely paid today

2200
01:53:54,470 --> 01:53:52,639
as after the

2201
01:53:56,790 --> 01:53:54,480
capsule had landed

2202
01:53:57,750 --> 01:53:56,800
the seas were as calm as i've ever seen

2203
01:54:00,550 --> 01:53:57,760
them

2204
01:54:06,149 --> 01:54:00,560
making the trip for the fast boats to

2205
01:54:27,510 --> 01:54:21,750
and

2206
01:54:30,470 --> 01:54:27,520
egressed the vehicle as well so now that

2207
01:54:32,229 --> 01:54:30,480
mike victor shannon and suici are safely

2208
01:54:34,229 --> 01:54:32,239
back home on earth and getting checked

2209
01:54:36,390 --> 01:54:34,239
out by the nasa medical team we are

2210
01:54:38,790 --> 01:54:36,400
going to wrap up our live coverage of

2211
01:54:41,350 --> 01:54:38,800
their historic return this all kicked

2212
01:54:43,990 --> 01:54:41,360
off on november 15 2020 from historic

2213
01:54:46,070 --> 01:54:44,000
launch pad 39a at the kennedy space

2214
01:54:48,470 --> 01:54:46,080
center in florida after successful

2215
01:54:50,470 --> 01:54:48,480
liftoff and separation from falcon 9

2216
01:54:53,030 --> 01:54:50,480
mike victor shannon and suici made a

2217
01:54:55,030 --> 01:54:53,040
27-hour flight on board dragon to the

2218
01:54:56,629 --> 01:54:55,040
international space station

2219
01:54:59,510 --> 01:54:56,639
since arriving at the space station they

2220
01:55:02,310 --> 01:54:59,520
sent more they spent more than nearly

2221
01:55:05,750 --> 01:55:02,320
they spent almost six months as members

2222
01:55:08,470 --> 01:55:05,760
of expedition 6465 executing science

2223
01:55:10,629 --> 01:55:08,480
experiments spacewalks and repairs while

2224
01:55:12,550 --> 01:55:10,639
aboard the orbiting laboratory

2225
01:55:13,750 --> 01:55:12,560
their journey home today began just

2226
01:55:15,430 --> 01:55:13,760
hours ago

2227
01:55:18,149 --> 01:55:15,440
saturday may 1st when they closed the

2228
01:55:21,109 --> 01:55:18,159
hatch to dragon and undocked hours later

2229
01:55:23,270 --> 01:55:21,119
at 5 35 pm pacific time we then

2230
01:55:25,910 --> 01:55:23,280
jettisoned dragon's trunk and performed

2231
01:55:28,550 --> 01:55:25,920
our final on orbit maneuver the deorbit

2232
01:55:31,589 --> 01:55:28,560
burn at approximately 11 03 pm pacific

2233
01:55:33,270 --> 01:55:31,599
time to send dragon on the path home the

2234
01:55:35,589 --> 01:55:33,280
spacecraft re-entered the earth's

2235
01:55:38,070 --> 01:55:35,599
atmosphere and slowed its descent with

2236
01:55:40,629 --> 01:55:38,080
successful deployments of the two drogue

2237
01:55:42,709 --> 01:55:40,639
shoot drop parachutes and four main

2238
01:55:44,390 --> 01:55:42,719
shoots with the final splashdown

2239
01:55:47,910 --> 01:55:44,400
occurring at off the coast of panama

2240
01:55:49,750 --> 01:55:47,920
city florida at 11 57 pm pacific time

2241
01:55:52,390 --> 01:55:49,760
following that successful splashdown we

2242
01:55:54,550 --> 01:55:52,400
saw spacex recovery experts move in and

2243
01:55:57,030 --> 01:55:54,560
prepare dragon resilience for its lift

2244
01:55:58,470 --> 01:55:57,040
onto the recovery vessel and just a

2245
01:56:01,270 --> 01:55:58,480
little less than an hour following

2246
01:56:03,189 --> 01:56:01,280
splashdown we saw mike vic victor

2247
01:56:07,030 --> 01:56:03,199
shannon and soichi

2248
01:56:08,790 --> 01:56:07,040
you know safely exit the dragon capsule

2249
01:56:10,629 --> 01:56:08,800
next up they will catch a helicopter

2250
01:56:12,709 --> 01:56:10,639
flight back to shore where they will

2251
01:56:14,310 --> 01:56:12,719
transfer to the waiting nasa plane for

2252
01:56:16,070 --> 01:56:14,320
the short flight back to houston where

2253
01:56:18,310 --> 01:56:16,080
they will be reunited with families to

2254
01:56:20,229 --> 01:56:18,320
bring an end to this flight

2255
01:56:21,830 --> 01:56:20,239
we can't express what an honor and a

2256
01:56:23,990 --> 01:56:21,840
privilege it has been to share their

2257
01:56:26,790 --> 01:56:24,000
journey with all of you as we continue

2258
01:56:28,470 --> 01:56:26,800
this new era in human space flight in

2259
01:56:30,470 --> 01:56:28,480
just the last week we saw four

2260
01:56:32,790 --> 01:56:30,480
astronauts fly to station to begin their

2261
01:56:35,990 --> 01:56:32,800
mission and now four more return to

2262
01:56:38,229 --> 01:56:36,000
earth to successfully complete another

2263
01:56:40,790 --> 01:56:38,239
so spacex and nasa are already looking

2264
01:56:43,350 --> 01:56:40,800
forward to the next rotation when crew 2

2265
01:56:45,589 --> 01:56:43,360
comes home and crew 3 launches all of

2266
01:56:47,830 --> 01:56:45,599
which is currently targeted for october

2267
01:56:50,629 --> 01:56:47,840
of this year and at that time we'll once

2268
01:56:52,310 --> 01:56:50,639
again have a direct handover with 11

2269
01:56:54,470 --> 01:56:52,320
people on board the station for a short

2270
01:56:56,790 --> 01:56:54,480
duration as we continue this regular

2271
01:56:59,109 --> 01:56:56,800
cadence of flying astronauts on spacex

2272
01:57:00,070 --> 01:56:59,119
rockets from pad 39-8 at kennedy space

2273
01:57:01,910 --> 01:57:00,080
center

2274
01:57:04,709 --> 01:57:01,920
again thank you for tuning in for the

2275
01:57:06,149 --> 01:57:04,719
culmination of crew one a six-month

2276
01:57:07,030 --> 01:57:06,159
mission that has been years in the

2277
01:57:09,350 --> 01:57:07,040
making

2278
01:57:11,510 --> 01:57:09,360
all of us here at spacex and nasa are

2279
01:57:13,510 --> 01:57:11,520
excited to reunite these four astronauts

2280
01:57:14,790 --> 01:57:13,520
with their families we'll continue to

2281
01:57:17,189 --> 01:57:14,800
work hard

2282
01:57:18,149 --> 01:57:17,199
to ensure future astronauts safety and

2283
01:57:20,790 --> 01:57:18,159
mission

2284
01:57:22,229 --> 01:57:20,800
success so be sure to follow spacex and

2285
01:57:24,149 --> 01:57:22,239

as well as the social media for updates

2287
01:57:29,669 --> 01:57:26,639
on crew and cargo flights to and from

2288
01:57:32,629 --> 01:57:29,679
the international space station

2289
01:57:35,270 --> 01:57:32,639
and we'll continue to share the progress

2290
01:57:37,990 --> 01:57:35,280
of mike victor shannon and suici's trip

2291
01:57:40,470 --> 01:57:38,000
back to houston on social media we are

2292
01:57:43,750 --> 01:57:40,480
also awaiting a briefing including nasa

2293
01:57:47,589 --> 01:57:43,760
spacex and jaxa leadership that's coming

2294
01:57:49,669 --> 01:57:47,599
up at 2 a.m pacific time 5 a.m eastern

2295
01:57:51,669 --> 01:57:49,679
time so we have to say thank you one

2296

you next time when we once again are

2300
01:58:02,709 --> 01:58:00,400
sending astronauts on american rockets

2301
01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:02,719
in american spacecraft from american
