00:02:59,280 today to ensure various systems are a go 76 00:03:03,649 --> 00:03:01,680 for launch North upcoming teams in the 77 00:03:05,449 --> 00:03:03,659 Antares launch control center in Wallops 78 00:03:08,690 --> 00:03:05,459 Island Virginia are monitoring systems 79 00:03:10,369 --> 00:03:08,700 on the Antares rocket and once cygnus 80 00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:10,379 separates from the Antares rocket today 81 00:03:13,729 --> 00:03:12,180 and reaches its preliminary orbit 82 00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:13,739 controls of the vehicle will be handed 83 00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:15,599 over to teams at Northrop grumman's 84 00:03:19,369 --> 00:03:17,040 Mission Control Center in Dulles 85 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:19,379 Virginia teams there are being led by 86 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,550 and back in the International Space 87 00:03:28,850 --> 00:03:27,120 Station flight control room in Houston 88 00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,860 Texas flight control teams are being led 89 00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:31,200 by flight director Greg Whitney teams 90 00:03:34,369 --> 00:03:32,580 here are monitoring systems on the 91 00:03:36,289 --> 00:03:34,379 International Space Station ensuring all 92 00:03:38,330 --> 00:03:36,299 systems are a go for cygnus launch today 93 00:03:41,210 --> 00:03:38,340 and arrival to the International Space 94 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:41,220 Station and so far all teams are a go 95 00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:44,159 for launch today at 501 and 5 Seconds PM 96 00:04:46,670 --> 00:03:46,920 Central Time 601 and 5 Seconds PM 97 00:04:50,689 --> 00:04:49,010 and joining us for today's launch 98 00:04:52,610 --> 00:04:50,699 broadcast from Northrop Grumman is 99 00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,620 Antares system engineering program 100 00:04:56,689 --> 00:04:54,960 manager Christina helona and she'll be 101 00:04:58,430 --> 00:04:56,699 walking us through some of the features 102 00:05:00,650 --> 00:04:58,440 and milestones for today's launch 103 00:05:02,210 --> 00:05:00,660 Christina the launch was moved to the 104 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:02,220 back of the launch window today can you 105 00:05:07,249 --> 00:05:04,080 explain what the teams detected on the 106 00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:07,259 ground and how it was resolved 107 00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:09,660 hi Courtney sure so during our 108 00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:11,820 pre-launch checkouts we detected an 109 00:05:16,189 --> 00:05:14,160 anomalous reading at the pad so our 110 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:16,199 Mid-Atlantic range today support and 111 00:05:19,969 --> 00:05:17,759 Norfolk government teams had to 112 00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:19,979 troubleshoot the issue out at the pads 113 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:22,320 which are actually required our teams to 114 00:05:27,650 --> 00:05:25,680 physically inspect the pad so after we 115 00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:27,660 had it previously already cleared out of 116 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:30,479 the pad for safety issues obviously so 117 00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:32,520 we had to get back out there and check 118 00:05:36,529 --> 00:05:34,560 out and make sure everything was up and 119 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:36,539 running and everything was good and so 120 00:05:40,490 --> 00:05:37,919 that actually took a little bit longer 121 00:05:43,129 --> 00:05:40,500 than expected so it took it to sell into 122 00:05:45,469 --> 00:05:43,139 our launch window so uh everything 123 00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:45,479 looked good and we're ready to go go so 124 00:05:52,490 --> 00:05:50,629 yes and we're looking live now at the 125 00:05:54,590 --> 00:05:52,500 Antares rocket standing ready to launch 126 00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:54,600 a cygnus cargo spacecraft carrying more 127 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:57,240 than 8 200 pounds of research crew 128 00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:59,039 Supplies and Hardware to the 129 00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:00,479 International Space Station Christina 130 00:06:06,170 --> 00:06:02,520 can you tell us more about this Antares 131 00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:08,990 sure so the Antares 230 plus vehicle 132 00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:11,220 provides substantial payload performance 133 00:06:16,010 --> 00:06:13,919 into a variety of low inclination low 134 00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:16,020 Earth and Sun to goodness orbits and 135 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,600 interplanetary trajectories so our 136 00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:20,639 Ontario has actually been upgraded our 137 00:06:24,590 --> 00:06:22,740 stage run core which has a lighter 138 00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:24,600 composite structure and an optimized 139 00:06:28,969 --> 00:06:27,120 second stage mortar the upgraded stage 140 00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:28,979 one core allows the interior's engines 141 00:06:33,409 --> 00:06:30,960 to perform at full thrust throughout 142 00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:33,419 most of the first stage profile the 230 143 00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:35,340 plus vehicle also has a cargo Mass 144 00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:37,080 flexibility in which the thickness mask 145 00:06:41,689 --> 00:06:38,819 can be defined in later than 24 hours 146 00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:41,699 prior to launch the Antares 230 plus 147 00:06:45,409 --> 00:06:43,380 vehicle also has the ability to perform 148 00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:45,419 late load operations by the unique pot 149 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,220 top fairing of the nose of the vehicle 150 00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:49,440 is able to remove for the late cargo 151 00:06:56,809 --> 00:06:53,340 load opening valve 8021 on my marks 152 00:06:58,909 --> 00:06:56,819 three two and the vehicle rolled out to 153 00:07:01,070 --> 00:06:58,919 the pad Friday August 6th it was then 154 00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:01,080 rotated horizontal for some late cargo 155 00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:02,880 like you're saying now and then it was 156 00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:04,680 returned to its vertical position where 157 00:07:09,589 --> 00:07:07,560 it sits now yesterday so Christina can 158 00:07:11,089 --> 00:07:09,599 you walk us through the cargo late 159 00:07:12,490 --> 00:07:11,099 loading process and late load 160 00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:12,500 capabilities 161 00:07:17,150 --> 00:07:15,120 yeah sure so as I mentioned before one 162 00:07:18,890 --> 00:07:17,160 of the unique features of the series 230 163 00:07:21,050 --> 00:07:18,900 plus vehicle is that there is the 164 00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:21,060 ability to do a late cargo low 24 hours 165 00:07:25,610 --> 00:07:24,000 before launch the vehicle has a pop-top 166 00:07:27,950 --> 00:07:25,620 earring with a nose of the rocket is 167 00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:27,960 able to be removed North program has 168 00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:29,759 also built a new specialized ground 169 00:07:33,469 --> 00:07:31,500 support equipment that allows us to take 170 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:33,479 the vehicle from vertical like you see 171 00:07:38,450 --> 00:07:35,280 it out the pad and take it back 172 00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:38,460 horizontal which we did previously 173 00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:41,340 actually last night so this allows us to 174 00:07:44,869 --> 00:07:43,199 drive what we call a mobile clean room 175 00:07:46,610 --> 00:07:44,879 right up to the people deferring where 176 00:07:48,529 --> 00:07:46,620 we are able to remove the pop top 177 00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:48,539 bearing and load times consider research 178 00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:51,599 experiments and other perishable items 179 00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:53,460 that National used to provide 24 hours 180 00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:54,960 before launch 181 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,940 and so with all this talk about cargo 182 00:08:00,650 --> 00:07:58,319 the interior of the vehicle is carrying 183 00:08:02,809 --> 00:08:00,660 approximately a little over 8 200 pounds 184 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:02,819 of cargo to the space station aboard the 185 00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:04,800 sigma spacecraft today which is actually 186 00:08:09,290 --> 00:08:06,900 our largest resupply to date so we're 187 00:08:10,969 --> 00:08:09,300 very excited about that and we are 188 00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:10,979 Northrop grammar we're we're really 189 00:08:15,710 --> 00:08:13,199 proud of our entry 230 plus rocket and 190 00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:15,720 the Cigna spacecraft and we're dedicated 191 00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:17,520 to to continue to providing the best 192 00:08:21,650 --> 00:08:19,199 value for a customer in support of the 193 00:08:23,629 --> 00:08:21,660 critical mission 194 00:08:25,309 --> 00:08:23,639 and just going off of that Antares in 195 00:08:26,930 --> 00:08:25,319 cygnus have now been part of the chain 196 00:08:28,969 --> 00:08:26,940 of resupply for the International Space 197 00:08:30,830 --> 00:08:28,979 Station for several years now how 198 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:30,840 crucial has Northrop grumman's role been 199 00:08:35,389 --> 00:08:33,599 in contributing to that 200 00:08:37,009 --> 00:08:35,399 so Northrop Grumman has played a 201 00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:37,019 critical role in keeping the 202 00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:38,820 International Space Station operational 203 00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:41,760 since 2013 and this was apparent with 204 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,740 NASA awarding our program in two 205 00:08:48,050 --> 00:08:45,360 additional commercial resupply missions 206 00:08:50,750 --> 00:08:48,060 to continue to deliver cargo is such a 207 00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:50,760 food Hardware science experiments and 208 00:08:55,490 --> 00:08:53,519 other necessities and samus's unique and 209 00:08:57,230 --> 00:08:55,500 affidability carry away large amounts of 210 00:09:00,050 --> 00:08:57,240 pressurized cargo and critical function 211 00:09:02,090 --> 00:09:00,060 for NASA and the crew aboard the ISS 212 00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:02,100 with these additional awarded flights to 213 00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:04,080 the orbiting laboratory you know nothing 214 00:09:08,449 --> 00:09:06,660 from local provides services both NASA 215 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,459 and our commercial Partners to continue 216 00:09:12,650 --> 00:09:10,320 to use cignos not as just the cargo 217 00:09:14,509 --> 00:09:12,660 delivery and disposable vehicle but also 218 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:14,519 as a platform for Science and Technology 219 00:09:19,310 --> 00:09:16,800 research and development opportunities 220 00:09:21,170 --> 00:09:19,320 nothing and since 2013 Northrop Grumman 221 00:09:23,210 --> 00:09:21,180 has been accepted and reliable partner 222 00:09:25,310 --> 00:09:23,220 to NASA and we look forward to this 223 00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:25,320 continued partnership into the future so 224 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:27,660 when you go to activate arm enable 225 00:09:31,389 --> 00:09:29,279 and now teams have been running through 226 00:09:33,889 --> 00:09:31,399 some pre-launch Milestones today and 227 00:09:35,630 --> 00:09:33,899 they'll continue to run through those 228 00:09:38,889 --> 00:09:35,640 through launch can you tell us a little 229 00:09:40,910 --> 00:09:38,899 bit more about the fueling process 230 00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:40,920 yeah so 231 00:09:45,290 --> 00:09:42,180 um 232 00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:45,300 assets actually 233 00:09:50,509 --> 00:09:48,720 um so when Ontario will have a stage of 234 00:09:53,389 --> 00:09:50,519 recognition at q0 and we'll lift off 235 00:09:55,850 --> 00:09:53,399 shortly after the main engines will burn 236 00:09:57,769 --> 00:09:55,860 off for approximately 200 seconds and 237 00:10:00,290 --> 00:09:57,779 that will get us to main engine cutoff 238 00:10:01,970 --> 00:10:00,300 which we call Mikko and then once we get 239 00:10:04,009 --> 00:10:01,980 to Mikko we'll go into a short coach 240 00:10:06,110 --> 00:10:04,019 right before we separate stage one from 241 00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:06,120 stage two which we call the upper stack 242 00:10:10,069 --> 00:10:08,160 portion of it carries 243 00:10:12,050 --> 00:10:10,079 um we'll continue to close a little bit 244 00:10:13,490 --> 00:10:12,060 longer about 30 seconds before fairing 245 00:10:16,009 --> 00:10:13,500 separation and then we'll have an 246 00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:16,019 internal separation for the stage two 247 00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:18,240 flies out of the external upper stack so 248 00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:19,980 once stage two is completed the upper 249 00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:22,260 stack the stage two ignites for a two 250 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:23,519 and a half minute burn that puts the 251 00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:25,680 initial close to their orbit and then 252 00:10:28,730 --> 00:10:27,839 we'll close the and then stimulus will 253 00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:28,740 close a little bit to ensure 254 00:10:32,569 --> 00:10:30,839 everything's stable and then too much 255 00:10:34,790 --> 00:10:32,579 will be released into the desired orbit 256 00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,800 so after your service is really so go 257 00:10:38,030 --> 00:10:36,240 through comp checks and then about an 258 00:10:39,650 --> 00:10:38,040 hour or so after we separate signals 259 00:10:41,810 --> 00:10:39,660 will release a solar arrays and be on 260 00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:41,820 its way to a National Space Station and 261 00:10:45,230 --> 00:10:43,980 I believe you at Nasa you guys also 262 00:10:46,850 --> 00:10:45,240 showed the solar wind deployment 263 00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:46,860 sometimes so you guys all might get to 264 00:10:50,329 --> 00:10:48,480 see it again later 265 00:10:52,970 --> 00:10:50,339 um but in summary it takes approximating 266 00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:52,980 this nine minutes to get to orbit so 267 00:10:57,530 --> 00:10:55,560 it's a it takes some time but it is 268 00:10:59,329 --> 00:10:57,540 pretty fast 269 00:11:00,769 --> 00:10:59,339 well Christina we're looking forward to 270 00:11:02,210 --> 00:11:00,779 welcoming cygnus aboard the 271 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:02,220 International Space Station and of 272 00:11:05,269 --> 00:11:03,600 course we'll have you back to join us 273 00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:05,279 after launch as well so do you have any 274 00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,220

once we get to that launch time today 410 00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:02,520 the first thing that will occur is the 411 00:21:06,590 --> 00:21:04,740 stage one ignition and you'll see lift 412 00:21:08,330 --> 00:21:06,600 off just a few seconds after that and 413 00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:08,340 those main two engines will burn for 414 00:21:12,649 --> 00:21:10,320 about 3 minutes and 18 seconds before 415 00:21:14,810 --> 00:21:12,659 cutting off and stage one will separate 416 00:21:16,490 --> 00:21:14,820 cygnus will Coast for a bit until 417 00:21:17,990 --> 00:21:16,500 fearing separation when the external 418 00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:18,000 cover that protects the spacecraft 419 00:21:21,649 --> 00:21:20,159 during launch will separate the 420 00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:21,659 interstage adapter that connects the 421 00:21:26,510 --> 00:21:23,760 first and second stages will separate at 422 00:21:28,610 --> 00:21:26,520 about four minutes into flight and then 423 00:21:30,529 --> 00:21:28,620 stage two ignition which is that solid 424 00:21:34,029 --> 00:21:30,539 rocket solid rocket fuel that will burn 425 00:21:36,590 --> 00:21:34,039 for 2 minutes and 45 seconds 426 00:21:37,850 --> 00:21:36,600 once the second stage burns out we'll be 427 00:21:39,950 --> 00:21:37,860 listening for a call of orbital 428 00:21:42,289 --> 00:21:39,960 insertion at 6 minutes and 52 seconds 429 00:21:44,149 --> 00:21:42,299 after launch the vehicle will cost for 430 00:21:46,250 --> 00:21:44,159 two minutes before cygnus separation at 431 00:21:48,049 --> 00:21:46,260 9 minutes and 9 seconds

00:41:57,540 separation 623 00:42:01,849 --> 00:42:00,060 um to reach from basically from 624 00:42:03,290 --> 00:42:01,859 separation to destructive re-entry at 625 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:03,300 the end of the mission 626 00:42:06,109 --> 00:42:04,800 um the doors team performs various 627 00:42:08,030 --> 00:42:06,119 operations 628 00:42:10,190 --> 00:42:08,040 um including you know initial vehicle 629 00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:10,200 configuration Towing assertion orbit 630 00:42:15,470 --> 00:42:12,540 which include priming the propulsion 631 00:42:17,089 --> 00:42:15,480 system they'll also have the solar array 632 00:42:19,550 --> 00:42:17,099 deployment as well that will be 633 00:42:22,130 --> 00:42:19,560 happening here with you soon here in 634 00:42:23,809 --> 00:42:22,140 about an hour hour and a half and then 635 00:42:26,089 --> 00:42:23,819 they'll be planning and executing 636 00:42:28,210 --> 00:42:26,099 various Maneuvers to change cygnus's 637 00:42:30,829 --> 00:42:28,220 orbit to Rendezvous to the ISS so 638 00:42:33,950 --> 00:42:30,839 that'll be continually changing um 639 00:42:36,050 --> 00:42:33,960 throughout their Maneuvers to get to the 640 00:42:38,329 --> 00:42:36,060 um laboratory and then there's also 641 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:38,339 vehicle system checkout so will continue 642 00:42:43,010 --> 00:42:40,560 to monitor the spacecraft as well to 643 00:42:45,050 --> 00:42:43,020 make sure it's healthy and everything is 644 00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:45,060 looking great onto on the on the 645 00:42:48,650 --> 00:42:47,040 spacecraft and then at the end I'll 646 00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:48,660 finally perform vehicle configurations 647 00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:50,640 to perform the final Rendezvous as they 648 00:42:56,450 --> 00:42:53,040 arrive to the ISS 649 00:42:58,309 --> 00:42:56,460 a again looking forward to cygnus 650 00:43:00,230 --> 00:42:58,319 departure in November cygnus will 651 00:43:02,270 --> 00:43:00,240 perform some secondary operations can 652 00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:02,280 you go over some of those 653 00:43:07,190 --> 00:43:05,040 yeah so cygnus actually has two 654 00:43:10,490 --> 00:43:07,200 secondary mission objectives for this 655 00:43:12,430 --> 00:43:10,500 ng-16 mission after it departs from the 656 00:43:15,050 --> 00:43:12,440 International Space Station 657 00:43:18,170 --> 00:43:15,060 there's one that is a passive payload 658 00:43:20,510 --> 00:43:18,180 from NASA called crippy and it stands 659 00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:20,520 for Kentucky Kentucky re-entry probe 660 00:43:24,230 --> 00:43:22,560 experiment and the payload will be 661 00:43:26,210 --> 00:43:24,240 loaded into the pressurized volume of 662 00:43:29,030 --> 00:43:26,220 the signals with the Disposable cargo 663 00:43:31,069 --> 00:43:29,040 items and then the other payload is 664 00:43:33,650 --> 00:43:31,079 purple which is short for Prototype 665 00:43:35,510 --> 00:43:33,660 referred payload purple is a Norfolk 666 00:43:37,790 --> 00:43:35,520 women built payload and will be tested 667 00:43:41,150 --> 00:43:37,800 and calibrated on while cignus's birth 668 00:43:43,069 --> 00:43:41,160 to the ISS and uh the purple payload 669 00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:43,079 actually requires 23 days of operations 670 00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:44,880 following departure to perform data 671 00:43:49,609 --> 00:43:47,520 Collections and data downlinks so we 672 00:43:51,770 --> 00:43:49,619 still have those two missions to 673 00:43:54,170 --> 00:43:51,780 complete um after we are on birth from 674 00:43:57,829 --> 00:43:54,180 the ISS so cygnus has a lot of work of 675 00:43:59,870 --> 00:43:57,839 it and head and tell here in November 676 00:44:02,089 --> 00:43:59,880 thanks Christina again we are looking 677 00:44:03,710 --> 00:44:02,099 forward to welcoming cygnus to the 678 00:44:07,849 --> 00:44:03,720 International Space Station and thanks 679 00:44:07,859 -->
