1 00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:39,830 we are showing you a live look of 2 00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:42,000 spacex's falcon 9 rocket and cargo 3 00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:44,960 dragon here at pad 39a at kennedy space 4 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,120 center yesterday's launch was scrubbed 5 00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:49,360 because of weather but things are 6 00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:51,440 looking a lot better out there today the 7 00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:53,280 launch team got a weather update about 8 00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:55,760 45 minutes ago and we are currently 9 00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:58,399 taking a look at their 80 percent go 10 00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:01,600 up from 40 percent yesterday and fueling 11 00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:04,400 began a couple of minutes ago at 2 39 12 00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:05,439 a.m 13 00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:06,799 good morning everyone and thank you for 14 00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,560 joining us i'm megan cruz with nasa 15 00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:10,400 communications we will be live with 16 00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,880 spacex at the top of the hour but first 17 00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:14,880 here's a preview of some of the science 18 00:01:24,070 --> 00:01:21,510 first let's chat with some girl scouts 19 00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:24,080 who are sending brine shrimp and ants to 20 00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:26,240 space evie and marie thank you so much 21 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:27,759 for joining us so we're sending brian 22 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:29,439 shrimp or sending ants and we're sending 23 00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:32,640 plants correct and 11 11 girls inspired 24 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:34,720 these experiments yes so there are a 25 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,280 total of three projects going into the 26 00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:39,520 space from the making space for girls 27 00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,720 program we have ants going up it was a 28 00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:44,479 younger girl who was really just wanting 29 00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,720 to see how they move how they act if 30 00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:48,240 they act differently 31 00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:49,439 we have 32 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,000 tomatoes and lemongrass and peppers 33 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,960 going up in our plants section and then 34 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,640 of course we have the brine shrimp going 35 00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:58,240 up eva you're the one who's sending 36 00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,920 brine shrimp into space and i can see 37 00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,920 that you brought some with you yep why 38 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:03,200 brine shrimp 39 00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,320 because 40 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,320 well we wanted to send actual shrimp but 41 00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:09,200 they're kind of big and we have size 42 00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:11,599 constraints so these are the brand 43 00:02:16,949 --> 00:02:14,239 shrimp there is one big one but the rest 44 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:16,959 of them are tiny so we're seeing if we 45 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:19,680 can grow them on the space station how 46 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,200 cool is it that you get to send up a 47 00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,680 science experiment to space alongside 48 00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,360 all of these other distinguished 49 00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:27,680 researchers around the world very very 50 00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,599 cool this is totally an amazing 51 00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:31,599 opportunity for kids around the world to 52 00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:34,000 see and say hey maybe i could i could 53 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,080 send science up to the space station 54 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,560 this opportunity is great because of the 55 00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:40,319 research and the girls who are getting 56 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,080 to send it up but it's really a message 57 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:44,640 for all girls out there that you can do 58 00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:47,920 space and that you can 59 00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:51,280 go and pursue a career in space and 60 00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:54,879 space exploration and the amazing 61 00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:56,560 work that goes into it and it really 62 00:03:02,949 --> 00:02:59,360 grows their creative sides and inspires 63 00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,959 them to further into space and science 64 00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:04,640 and guys we can literally see launch pad 65 00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:06,720 39a from where we're standing here 66 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,959 that's where this spacex rocket is going 67 00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,800 to lift off from with your experiment 68 00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,319 how do you feel about that 69 00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:14,159 very very excited 70 00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:15,599 i've always loved to do science 71 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:17,840 experiments and knowing that i inspired 72 00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:19,680 something that might help people is 73 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:20,959 really really cool 74 00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:23,040 awesome guys thank you so much thank you 75 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:27,509 the next person i want you to meet is dr 76 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:29,360 nicola ditrani he's working with 77 00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:31,440 researchers at the houston methodist 78 00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:34,560 research institute to test an implant 79 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:38,000 that can remotely deliver medicine thank 80 00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:39,680 you for joining me today nicola for 81 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,799 those who don't know we're here at 82 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,720 kennedy's space station processing 83 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:44,640 facility do you mind telling people why 84 00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:48,000 you're here i'm preparing um the last 85 00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,920 step of assembling on an implantable 86 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,200 device that we're going to shift to 87 00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:53,200 international space station and this is 88 00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:54,480 an implantable device that have been 89 00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:56,319 developed for the last year with my 90 00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,239 principal investigator alessandra tony 91 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,000 at the houston methodist research 92 00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:02,959 institute it's a device for implant for 93 00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:04,799 drug delivery for sustained drug 94 00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,959 delivery that can be remotely controlled 95 00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:08,080 we're gonna 96 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:10,959 send there 10 implants inside a faraday 97 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:13,840 box which is 98 00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:16,239 box that has been developed by prosops 99 00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:17,359 and 100 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,560 all of these devices are going to 101 00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,160 communicate with this computer and 102 00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,160 through an internet connection we're 103 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,800 going to that same signal is going to go 104 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,960 come back here on earth and from the 105 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:28,720 houston facility we're going to be able 106 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:31,840 to log on and see the status of each one 107 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:34,320 of these devices how is it that that 108 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:36,560 little device can do that can remotely 109 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:38,720 deliver medicine to somebody the 110 00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:41,360 principle of working of this device is 111 00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,680 uh through a silicon nanophotic membrane 112 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,080 which is this small piece that you see 113 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,240 right here it's just six by six 114 00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:50,400 millimeter and it has hundreds of 115 00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:53,520 thousands of nano channels we use uh 116 00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,080 these silicon devices to finely tune how 117 00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,560 much drug diffuses through and it's 118 00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:00,160 delivered to the body 119 00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:02,560 so in connection to this membrane we 120 00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:04,560 have a mini computer on border device 121 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,080 which is the same that you see here 122 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:08,560 which is a printed circuit board and 123 00:05:13,670 --> 00:05:11,759 that has bluetooth capabilities so this 124 00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:13,680 uh mini computer is connected to the 125 00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:16,320 silicon membrane and so it can change 126 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:18,639 how much drug is released wow and this 127 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,720 research could help people here on earth 128 00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:23,199 right that is correct the goal of these 129 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:26,720 devices is to actually treat and manage 130 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,120 long-term chronic pathologies such as 131 00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:31,919 hypertension of rheumatoid arthritis wow 132 00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:33,840 and i think the size is so noteworthy 133 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:35,680 too because right now the devices that 134 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:38,400 do remotely deliver medicine are big 135 00:05:43,590 --> 00:05:40,800 right they're big devices yes similar 136 00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:43,600 devices that deliver drug for this kind 137 00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:46,000 of pathologies usually are peristaltic 138 00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:49,120 pump that are pretty big in size and the 139 00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:51,680 way we're able to shrink the device down 140 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,840 to this size is because we don't use any 141 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:56,240 mechanical components that are also 142 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,039 prone to failure we everything we do is 143 00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:01,199 solid state like this membrane that we 144 00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:03,039 have right here is completely made of 145 00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,560 silicon all right nikola thank you so 146 00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:06,479 much thank you 147 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,039 and finally i met with dr fabio paluso 148 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,360 who's studying an interesting mixture 149 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,160 that could protect our bones 150 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,080 dr fabio palusa thank you so much for 151 00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:18,000 inviting us here and here for me dr 152 00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:19,520 felicia tell us about your experiment 153 00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:22,000 what is it that you're trying to study 154 00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:24,319 it's very simple this experiment is 155 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:26,479 aimed at understanding whether the 156 00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:29,199 presence of a special metabolism excites 157 00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:30,560 from grapes 158 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,600 may help 159 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:33,360 bone cells to 160 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,280 survive better when exposed to 161 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:37,759 microgravity you know indeed that not 162 00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,479 only humans but also crew are exposed to 163 00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:42,639 many diseases and one of these is the 164 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,720 osteoporosis when clear we are exposed 165 00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:46,800 to microrevenue for a long time their 166 00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:49,120 bone loses minerals yeah the mixture 167 00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:51,360 that you're studying is um metabolites 168 00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:52,960 from grapes 169 00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,360 and also collagen yes and also collagen 170 00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:57,599 there are two green lines 171 00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:58,720 that our 172 00:07:01,430 --> 00:07:00,080 colleagues from 173 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,440 the department of biology are now 174 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,919 preparing they are fixing the cells on 175 00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:06,080 these substrates there are two twin 176 00:07:10,469 --> 00:07:08,080 lines one with only with collagen which 177 00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:10,479 is a normal nutrient for cells and the 178 00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:11,840 other 179 00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:14,400 there is this special metabolism the 180 00:07:19,749 --> 00:07:17,759 extract of the grapes resveratrol name 181 00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:19,759 the chemical name 182 00:07:23,589 --> 00:07:22,319 that on ground has been tested 183 00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:23,599 successfully 184 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:26,720 it helps bone cells to survive better so 185 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:28,240 they have the cells the cells are going 186 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,479 to go here this is going to go up to the 187 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,960 space station again explain why this 188 00:07:36,629 --> 00:07:34,960 experiment has to happen on the 189 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:36,639 international space station so the 190 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,400 present the this experiment must be 191 00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:42,960 run in the absence of gravity on the 192 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,639 international space station just to 193 00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:46,319 verify whether the presence of 194 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,120 resveratrol may help the bone cells to 195 00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,280 survive for a long time okay perfect 196 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:53,280 well dr paluso thank you so much and and 197 00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,479 i can't wait to see what you guys 198 00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,710 everything's just so interesting and 199 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:00,400 that's actually just a fraction of the 200 00:08:03,909 --> 00:08:02,560 research going up there is plenty more 201 00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:03,919 experiments and technology 202 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:06,080 demonstrations that you can read up on 203 00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:07,680 at nasa.gov 204 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:09,840 commercial resupply again we'll be live 205 00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:12,319 with spacex starting soon at 3 am we 206

launch was 216 00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:25,600 scrubbed because of weather we're going 217 00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:28,000 to try again in just about 14 minutes 218 00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:29,680 thank you for waking up with us again 219 00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:31,920 this sat sunday morning i don't know 220 00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:33,920 what day it is guys i'm megan cruz with 221 00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:35,759 nasa communications live from kennedy 222 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:37,839 space center in florida today's launch 223 00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:40,720 at 3 14 a.m eastern time is spacex's 224 00:16:45,749 --> 00:16:43,600 23rd cargo resupply mission for nasa to 225 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:45,759 the international space station we are 226 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:47,759 again simulcasting this live show on 227 00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:50,480 nasa tv and on spacex's webcast let's 228 00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:51,920 bring in andy tran now live from 229 00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:53,519 spacex's headquarters in hawthorne 230 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:55,279 california andy i know you're also 231 00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:56,720 hoping for some better weather today and 232 00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:02,230 yeah we are definitely continuing to 233 00:17:05,909 --> 00:17:03,839 keep an eye on the weather if it does 234 00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:05,919 cooperate this will be the third dragon 235 00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:07,839 flight to the space station this year 236 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:09,919 and also the third cargo respite mission 237 00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:12,240 with our upgraded dragon following a 238 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:13,760 successful launch this dragon will be 239 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,919 joining the crew 2 vehicle endeavor 240 00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:17,600 currently on orbit and attached to the 241 00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:19,280 international space station for now 242 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:20,959 let's take a closer look at the vehicles 243 00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:23,600 out on the pad on screen on screen right 244 00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:26,000 now is a view of dragon and that is a 245 00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,400 view of falcon 9 underneath it it is a 246 00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:30,640 reusable two-stage rocket designed and 247 00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:33,280 manufactured by spacex the bottom two 248 00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:35,120 thirds of the vehicle is the first stage 249 00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:36,799 its objective is to accelerate the 250 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:38,160 vehicle through the earth's atmosphere 251 00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:40,320 to space and then separate from the rest 252 00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:42,080 of the rocket this is going to be the 253 00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:43,679 fourth flight for today's first stage 254 00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:45,440 which actually previously supported both 255 00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:48,320 the crew 1 and crew 2 missions for nasa 256 00:17:52,150 --> 00:17:49,760 we are going to be attempting to recover 257 00:17:53,350 --> 00:17:52,160 the first stage again with our brand new 258 00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:53,360 drone ship 259 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:55,600 named a shortfall of gravitas there it 260 00:17:59,350 --> 00:17:57,280 is on screen 261 00:18:02,310 --> 00:17:59,360 above the first stage is the second 262 00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:02,320 stage it has a single merlin vacuum or 263 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,240 mvac engine which ignites after the 264 00:18:08,310 --> 00:18:06,480 first stage it separates the second 265 00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:08,320 stage is what will carry dragon to its 266 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:10,559 intended orbit allowing the spacecraft 267 00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:12,240 to eventually rendezvous with the 268 00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:14,880 international space station 269 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,039 and uh as we saw previously dragon is 270 00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:18,960 the spacecraft sitting on top of the 271 00:18:22,710 --> 00:18:21,120 rocket to this day dragon remains the 272 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,720 only spacecraft currently flying that's 273 00:18:26,789 --> 00:18:24,320 capable of transporting significant 274 00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:26,799 amounts of cargo to and from the earth 275 00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:28,240 so that's a little bit about our dragon 276 00:18:31,909 --> 00:18:29,840 and falcon 9 vehicles 277 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:31,919 back to you megan 278 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,520 thank you andy and now i want to bring 279 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,440 in joshua santora also with nasa 280 00:18:39,669 --> 00:18:37,520 communications joshua can you walk us 281 00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:39,679 through yesterday's weather concerns and 282 00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:42,000 again just how much better it's looking 283 00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:43,360 today 284 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:45,360 yeah megan as you said it is looking so 285 00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:47,360 much better today i appreciate that and 286 00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:49,600 so yesterday we had a lot of concerns 287 00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:51,919 happening really close to launch and as 288 00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:53,280 is the case with all weather concerns it 289 00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:55,440 just takes time to get past them and 290 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,720 that's what we saw yesterday is we 291 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,320 didn't have enough time 292 00:19:01,270 --> 00:19:00,160 and so we were concerned about things 293 00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:01,280 that either 294 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:03,280 actual natural lightning or generating 295 00:19:06,549 --> 00:19:04,640 lightning as we flew through the 296 00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:06,559 atmosphere and so that really kind of 297 00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:08,000 forced us to wave off yesterday's 298 00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:09,679 attempt today things are looking 299 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:12,559 phenomenal take a look here this is a 300 00:19:17,110 --> 00:19:15,360 only a 20 chance that we would have a a 301 00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:17,120 violation of our launch constraints 302 00:19:20,710 --> 00:19:19,200 which means we are 80 go on weather the 303 00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:20,720 only things we're watching are some 304 00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:22,559 clouds in the area and the potential for 305 00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:24,559 precipitation but by and large we're 306 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:26,240 extremely optimistic now targeting 307 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:28,160 launch in about 11 minutes from now uh 308 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,480 that report coming from the space launch 309 00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,559 delta 45 folks with the space force 310 00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:33,919 appreciate launch weather officer brian 311 00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:35,679 sisik walking us through that and then 312 00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,600 the range taking care of public health 313 00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:39,600 and safety as well the land around the 314 00:19:42,870 --> 00:19:41,280 launch pad the water over which we fly 315 00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:42,880 the air we fly through and the space 316 00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:44,720 we're headed to doing the collision on 317 00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:46,240 launch avoidance assessments and those 318 00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:47,840 all look clear 319 00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:50,400 so we are on track for our liftoff on 320 00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:54,400 time at 3 14 49 a.m eastern time that 321 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:56,160 timing is so precise because we have a 322 00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:57,520 single second in order to be able to 323 00:20:01,669 --> 00:19:59,039 rendezvous with the space station 324 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:01,679 currently traveling at 17 500 miles an 325 00:20:06,549 --> 00:20:04,080 hour and we're set to to rendezvous and 326 00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:06,559 dock tomorrow morning monday at 11 a.m 327 00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:08,400 eastern time with our coverage beginning 328 00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:11,280 at about 9 30 a.m eastern time so megan 329 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:13,679 uh technically really quiet weather 330 00:20:17,029 --> 00:20:15,520 looking really solid everything is go at 331 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:17,039 this moment that's it for now back to 332 00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:17,760 you 333 00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:21,120 that all right t-minus 10 minutes to 334 00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:22,799 launch now how about we take a look at 335 00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:24,400 some of the science flying to station 336 00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:32,950 what do ants plants a remote implant in 337 00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:35,039 brine shrimp all have in common they're 338 00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:36,720 all part of investigations sponsored by 339

variety of science researchers use the 392 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:34,159 unique opportunity to study things in 393 00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:36,880 microgravity to hopefully uncover ways 394 00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:39,520 to improve human space flight or how we 395 00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:41,840 do things here on earth some of today's 396 00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:43,840 experiments were loaded onto dragon just 397 00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:45,919 right before yesterday's launch attempt 398 00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:47,919 you can see video there of what we call 399 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:50,480 that late load each person is carefully 400 00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:53,039 handling the time sensitive experiments 401 00:22:57,750 --> 00:22:55,520 that needed to be packed into dragon as 402 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:57,760 close to launch as possible 403 00:23:01,350 --> 00:22:59,520 but what happens to the science once it 404 00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:01,360 arrives at the space station let's take 405 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,840 a look at a special tour we shot just 406 00:23:08,870 --> 00:23:05,520 for you guys with the astronauts on 407 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:10,230 hello and welcome aboard the

00:23:23,200 it's going to be keeping us pretty busy 414 00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:24,720 hey megan let's go show them around the 415 00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:25,760 space station a little bit and we'll 416 00:23:28,870 --> 00:23:27,200 show you where some of these experiments 417 00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,880 are going to be done 418 00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:30,480 welcome to the european module called 419 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:31,919 columbus this is where a lot of the 420 00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:34,240 spacex 23 421 00:23:37,990 --> 00:23:35,600 experiments are going to hang out one of 422 00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:38,000 those is called apex 8 which is going to 423 00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:39,919 study the response to stressors at the 424 00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:42,000 genetic level of plants now they're 425 00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:43,840 going to be really small plants in petri 426 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:45,440 dishes that we're going to eventually 427 00:23:48,870 --> 00:23:46,960 put into this facility here that's 428 00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:48,880 called veggie it's a veggie plant growth 429 00:23:52,549 --> 00:23:51,120 facility on my last flight i got to grow 430 00:23:54,149 --> 00:23:52,559 lettuce in here and we got to actually 431 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:54,159 harvest that and eat it so that's pretty 432 00:23:56,230 --> 00:23:54,960 cool 433 00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:56,240 one of the things we're trying to do is 434 00:23:59,990 --> 00:23:58,080 learn how to engineer plants to grow 435 00:24:01,669 --> 00:24:00,000 better in microgravity and what we learn 436 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:01,679 from that will be able to help us in the 437 00:24:05,669 --> 00:24:03,600 future in space travel but also help 438 00:24:07,269 --> 00:24:05,679 people on earth grow things better this 439 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:07,279 isn't the only facility we have on the 440 00:24:10,870 --> 00:24:08,640 international space station to grow 441 00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:10,880 things we have an advanced plant habitat 442 00:24:13,430 --> 00:24:12,159 and currently we're growing chili 443 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:13,440 peppers in there which we hope to 444 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,320 harvest towards the end of our mission 445 00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:18,480 so now we're in the u.s laboratory which 446 00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:20,720 is called destiny and this is one of our 447 00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:22,720 main areas for conducting science on the 448 00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:24,720 international space station one of the 449 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:26,000 things that makes the international 450 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:28,240 space station such a versatile research 451 00:24:31,990 --> 00:24:30,000 lab are the express racks there's a 452 00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:32,000 couple of them right here over my head 453 00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:33,840 and the cool thing about these is that 454 00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:35,760 it allows different researchers from 455 00:24:39,909 --> 00:24:37,520 around the world to send up their own 456 00:24:41,669 --> 00:24:39,919 payload and the express rack provides 457 00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:41,679 the power and data 458 00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:43,840 cooling whatever that particular payload 459 00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:45,679 needs one of the new facilities that 460 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:48,000 will be coming up on spacex 23 cargo 461 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:49,840 mission is called the faraday research 462 00:24:53,990 --> 00:24:52,000 facility and it's able to house four 463 00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:54,000 different experiments at once three of 464 00:24:58,549 --> 00:24:56,400 them will house small organisms the 465 00:25:00,789 --> 00:24:58,559 fourth experiment will be a medical 466 00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:00,799 experiment to look at remote-controlled 467 00:25:04,789 --> 00:25:02,960 delivery of medication so that would be 468 00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:04,799 an interesting technology demonstration 469 00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:06,240 as well and we'll be able to install 470 00:25:19,909 --> 00:25:08,000 that facility into one of our express 471 00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:21,590 and that was nasa astronauts megan 472 00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:23,520 mcarthur and shane kimbrough aboard the 473 00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:25,600 international space station and welcome 474 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:26,960

00:26:08,080 as crew dragon approaches the 496 00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:09,279 international space station in the 497 00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:11,760 morning hours on august 30th nasa 498 00:26:15,669 --> 00:26:13,679 astronaut shane kimbrough and megan 499 00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:15,679 macarthur will be monitoring the arrival 500 00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:18,080 from the station's cupula 501 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:20,000 cargo dragon will remain attached to the 502 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:21,600 international space station for about 503 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:23,520 one month before being packed up with 504 00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:25,440 critical science and supplies and will 505 00:26:29,669 --> 00:26:27,600 splash down in the atlantic ocean or the 506 00:26:31,750 --> 00:26:29,679 gulf of mexico for that science to be 507 00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:31,760 analyzed back here on earth 508 00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:33,360 everything's still a go from here in 509 00:26:36,549 --> 00:26:34,880 mission control houston and we're 510 00:26:37,909 --> 00:26:36,559 looking forward to welcoming another 511 00:26:39,909 --> 00:26:37,919 vehicle to the international space 512 00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:39,919 station so for now we'll head back out 513 00:26:44,230 --> 00:26:42,400 to kennedy megan 514 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:44,240 great shaniqua thanks let's get one last 515 00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:46,000 status update from andy and joshua 516 00:26:51,430 --> 00:26:47,200 before the final moments of the 517 00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:53,990 thanks megan uh we are about t minus 518 00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:55,919 three and a half minutes until liftoff 519 00:26:59,669 --> 00:26:57,520 the spacex team is working no 520 00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:59,679 significant issues uh right now we are 521 00:27:03,909 --> 00:27:01,919 expecting the strongback to be uh 522 00:27:06,070 --> 00:27:03,919 reclining away from the rocket to its 523 00:27:08,390 --> 00:27:06,080 pre-launch position about two degrees 524 00:27:10,070 --> 00:27:08,400 away from falcon 9 in order to prepare 525 00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:10,080 for liftoff 526 00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:11,600 that strongback is part of the 527 00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:13,440 transporter erector you can see on 528 00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:15,520 screen right now it's starting to 529 00:27:19,269 --> 00:27:17,679 recline away from falcon 9. the 530 00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:19,279 transport erector is that large truss 531 00:27:23,029 --> 00:27:21,360 structure next to falcon 9 532 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:23,039 its job is again to retract away from 533 00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:25,200 the rocket and prepare for liftoff at 534 00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:27,600 this point rp1 fuel is completely loaded 535 00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:29,120 on the second stage and nearly 536 00:27:32,710 --> 00:27:31,120 completely loaded 537 00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:32,720 liquid oxygen loading is currently 538 00:27:35,430 --> 00:27:34,240 underway 539 00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:35,440 on 540 00:27:39,029 --> 00:27:36,960 both stages and will complete around the 541 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:39,039 t-minus two minute mark in these last 542 00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:40,880 few minutes falcon 9 is performed is 543 00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:42,480 performing final health checks on his 544 00:27:46,470 --> 00:27:44,640 primary communications avionics and 545 00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:46,480 propulsion systems in preparation for 546 00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:48,480 flight 547 00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:50,080 dragon is undergoing vehicle health 548 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:51,600 checks and we did hear the callout t 549 00:27:55,269 --> 00:27:53,440 minus five minutes for internal power 550 00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:55,279 switched to internal power meaning it's 551 00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:56,880 living on its own apart from ground 552 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:59,039 support systems which is great uh we're 553 00:28:01,830 --> 00:28:00,000 also 554 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:01,840 expecting right now the checkouts of the 555 00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:03,360 second stage thrust vector control 556 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:05,440 actuators are underway this is what we 557 00:28:08,789 --> 00:28:06,799 affectionately refer to as the engine 558 00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:08,799 wiggle test uh not very technical but 559 00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:10,080 definitely kind of describes what we're 560 00:28:14,149 --> 00:28:12,000 talking about we're moving the nozzles 561 00:28:15,830 --> 00:28:14,159 of those engines on the engine on the on 562 00:28:18,389 --> 00:28:15,840 the second stage uh to ensure we have 563 00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:18,399 control for uh the uphill climbing and 564 00:28:21,750 --> 00:28:20,320 navigating that vehicle uh that's just 565 00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:21,760 part of making sure that the guidance 566 00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:24,000 hardware is go for flight spacex will do 567 00:28:27,029 --> 00:28:25,279 the exact same thing for all the first 568 00:28:28,230 --> 00:28:27,039 stage engines just a few seconds before 569 00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:28,240 ignition 570 00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:30,080 all this in preparation for our 571 00:28:33,350 --> 00:28:31,520 rendezvous with space station tomorrow 572 00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:33,360 morning uh and space station right now 573 00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:34,799 we're on uh we're on approach floor 574 00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:37,200 we're talking about explode complete 575 00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:39,440 is is just over the south edge of 576 00:28:45,269 --> 00:28:43,120 australia as we speak 577 00:28:47,750 --> 00:28:45,279 dragon is an auto idol and we just heard 578 00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:47,760 the call out that locks load has been 579 00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:49,679 completed that is uh that will wrap up 580 00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:51,360 propellant loading for the vehicle you 581 00:28:55,510 --> 00:28:53,039 can start to see some white clouds 582 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:55,520 forming around falcon 9 and dragon that 583 00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:57,520 is normal and expected for us at this 584 00:29:02,149 --> 00:28:59,120 stage the countdown that is super chill 585 00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:02,159 liquid oxygen starting to condense as it 586 00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:04,399 reaches the warmer ambient air 587 00:29:15,029 --> 00:29:13,350 through the rest of the countdown we're 588 00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:15,039 going to hear a few call outs uh but by 589 00:29:20,070 --> 00:29:16,720 and large we'll just listen in here and 590 00:29:22,389 --> 00:29:20,080 uh walk through it as tr as uh 591 00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:22,399 excuse me as dragon uh finalizes its 592 00:29:27,990 --> 00:29:24,080 preparations and the team verifies we go 593 00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:30,870 falcon 9's in startup 594 00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:39,990 both stages are now pressurizing for 595 00:29:43,269 --> 00:29:42,000 launch uh range and weather should both 596 00:29:44,710 --> 00:29:43,279 be good 597 00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:44,720 crs 23 598 00:29:55,590 --> 00:29:49,990 that was the voice of the launch 599 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:10,630 t-minus 30 seconds 600 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:16,070 t-minus 15 seconds 601 00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:17,029 10 602 00:30:19,029 --> 00:30:18,080 9 603 00:30:19,909 --> 00:30:19,039 8 604 00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:19,919 7 605 00:30:21,909

00:30:25,760 one 611 00:30:29,590 --> 00:30:27,919 zero ignition 612 00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:29,600 and lift off 613 00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:31,840 cargo dragon takes flight continuing a 614 00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:33,520 busy year of deliveries to a crew of 615 00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:35,360 seven aboard the international space 616 00:30:42,000 --> 00:31:16,789 stage one chamber pressure is nominal 617 00:31:21,750 --> 00:31:20,149 we are 50 seconds into flight uh pokemon 618 00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:21,760 has cleared the tower and it's currently 619 00:31:27,509 --> 00:31:25,440 headed to space in about uh 15 seconds 620 00:31:29,190 --> 00:31:27,519 here we're coming up on max q this is 621 00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:29,200 where the vehicle will experience the 622 00:31:46,630 --> 00:31:45,269 and there was the callout for max q we 623 00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:46,640 actually throttled down the merlin 624 00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:48,960 engines in preparation for that event 625 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:51,279 coming up are five more events in rapid 626 00:31:56,549 --> 00:31:53,760 succession main engine cutoff stage 627 00:31:58,549 --> 00:31:56,559 separation first stage flip second 628 00:32:00,870 --> 00:31:58,559 engine start one and then the boost back 629 00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:00,880 burn on the exercise 630 00:32:06,149 --> 00:32:03,840 main engine cutoff also known as miko is 631 00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:06,159 where all nine m1d engines on the falcon 632 00:32:10,630 --> 00:32:08,240 9 first stage will shut down this is 633 00:32:12,470 --> 00:32:10,640 followed by stage separation or the 634 00:32:15,269 --> 00:32:12,480 separation of the first and second 635 00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:15,279 stages from there the first stage will 636 00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:17,760 flip to prepare for 637 00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:21,200 re-entry and landing a few minutes later 638 00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:23,440 and the merlin vacuum engine on the 639 00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:25,440 second stage will ignite to boost dragon 640 00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:27,120 to low earth orbit and that's also known 641 00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:29,200 as ses1 642 00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:30,880 the first stage will then begin its 643 00:32:34,710 --> 00:32:32,240 boost back burn 644 00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:34,720 that is the first of three burns needed 645 00:32:44,549 --> 00:32:42,870 the first of that those five events main 646 00:32:57,590 --> 00:32:44,559 engine cutoff is coming up in about 10 647 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,470 managing cut off 648 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,190 age separation confirmed 649 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,870 [Applause] 650 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:19,830 impact ignition 651 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,350 stage one boost back burn startup 652 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:27,029 okay those were those five events a lot 653 00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:29,200 happening on screen main engine cutoff 654 00:33:33,269 --> 00:33:31,200 stage separation the first stage 655 00:33:34,870 --> 00:33:33,279 performed to flip uh second stage on the 656 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:34,880 right hand side of the screen 657 00:33:39,029 --> 00:33:37,679 ignited its merlin vacuum engine and on 658 00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:39,039 the left hand side of the screen we're 659 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:40,799 in the middle of that first stage boost 660 00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:43,200 back burn looks like we are getting some 661 00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:45,600 really cool views um 662 00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:46,799 stage 1 663 00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:48,640 shutdown controls being produced by the 664 00:33:53,350 --> 00:33:51,120 first stage 665 00:33:55,590 --> 00:33:53,360 and that was the call out for the 666 00:33:57,909 --> 00:33:55,600 successful completion of our first of 667 00:33:59,029 --> 00:33:57,919 three burns on the first stage 668 00:34:02,310 --> 00:33:59,039 so if you're just joining us you're 669 00:34:04,230 --> 00:34:02,320 watching a live webcast of the 23rd 670 00:34:05,669 --> 00:34:04,240 commercial resupply mission to the 671 00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:05,679 international space station for nasa 672 00:34:10,790 --> 00:34:08,480 this is spacex's 21st mission this year 673 00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:10,800 and um this is the cargo configuration 674 00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:12,960 of our dragon spacecraft acquisition of 675 00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:19,750 you might be interested to know in order 676 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:21,280 to get into space the rocket has to do 677 00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:23,040 more than just go up it actually has to 678 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,440 go sideways really really fast 679 00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:27,119 uh at liftoff gravity is pulling 680 00:34:31,109 --> 00:34:28,960 straight down the rocket and as we 681 00:34:33,430 --> 00:34:31,119 ascend we tilt the engines that turns 682 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:33,440 the rockets horizontally now we're still 683 00:34:37,669 --> 00:34:35,200 going up but we're also heading 684 00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:37,679 horizontally away from the launch pad in 685 00:34:42,710 --> 00:34:40,240 what we call a gravity turn the rocket 686 00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:42,720 typically needs to go about 7.5 687 00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:46,000 kilometers per second or 17 500 miles 688 00:34:50,470 --> 00:34:48,720 per hour horizontally in order to avoid 689 00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:50,480 being pulled back down to earth and get 690 00:35:02,390 --> 00:34:59,829 on screen again is the view of the 691 00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:02,400 merlin vacuum engine on the second stage 692 00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:04,640 on the opposite end of that engine is 693 00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:13,109 next event for today's mission is the 694 00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:15,680 re-entry burn for the first stage that's 695 00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:18,240 the second of three burns this is where 696 00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:19,760 three of the merlin engines will 697 00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:21,680 reignite and this helps to slow down the 698 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:24,000 stage as it re-enters the upper parts of 699 00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:32,790 and that the beginning of that burn is 700 00:35:39,589 --> 00:35:34,800 happening in under in just under a 701 00:35:42,950 --> 00:35:41,430 seems like we've lost the video footage 702 00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:42,960 of the first stage hopefully we can get 703 00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:44,640 it back 704 00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:46,400 in order to see that 705 00:35:53,349 --> 00:35:51,510 but on the bottom left hand side of the 706 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:53,359 screen is 707 00:35:57,910 --> 00:35:55,200 a speedometer of sorts tracking the 708 00:35:58,710 --> 00:35:57,920 velocity of the first stage as we begin 709 00:36:04,310 --> 00:35:58,720 that 710 00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:04,320 slow down and uh definitely once we hit 711 00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:05,920 the upper 712 00:36:09,990 --> 00:36:08,000 the denser parts of the atmosphere uh 713 00:36:22,069 --> 00:36:10,000 we'll start to see uh 714 00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:28,870 stage one entry burn startup 715 00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:31,510 and there is the beginning of the entry 716 00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:34,000 burn three merlin engines have re-lit 717 00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:35,839 and are currently slowing down 718 00:36:48,710 --> 00:36:46,550 awesome that is the successful 719 00:36:50,790 --> 00:36:48,720 completion of the second burn 720 00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:50,800 we are about 60 seconds away from 721 00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:53,200 landing and the vehicle is traveling 722 00:36:58,069 --> 00:36:56,160 about 900 miles an hour 723 00:37:00,550 --> 00:36:58,079 this really puts into perspective the 724 00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:00,560 deceleration in the span of less than a 725 00:37:04,069 --> 00:37:02,880 minute we'll have uh reduce the speed 726 00:37:05,670 --> 00:37:04,079 from 727 00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:05,680 the speed of a jet all the way down to 728 00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:16,150 and again this is our 729 00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:18,000 brand new drone ship a shortfall of 730 00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:19,280 gravitas 731 00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:21,280 this can be the first time that we are 732 00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:24,079 making a landing attempt on it and it's 733 00:37:26,550 --> 00:37:25,040 currently 734 00:37:28,390 --> 00:37:26,560 perched out in the atlantic ocean 735 00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:28,400 waiting for that first stage booster to 736 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:44,790 stage one landing burn startup 737 00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:46,069 a single 738 00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:47,760 engine the center engine engine number 739 00:38:00,710 --> 00:37:50,880 nine has relit 740 00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:17,829 stage one landing leg deploy 741 00:38:17,839 --> 00:38:22,950 stage one laning confirm 742 00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:25,510 uh and that is the 90th successful 743 00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:27,599 landing for an orbital class rocket and 744 00:38:32,069 --> 00:38:30,240 the very first for our new drone ship a 745 00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:32,079 shortfall of gravitas that is a 746 00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:34,000 beautiful thing to see and a great way 747 00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:40,710 next event coming up is for the second 748 00:38:45,109 --> 00:38:41,839 stage 749 00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:45,119 these the merlin vacuum engine will 750 00:38:51,270 --> 00:38:47,520 shut off his engine in an event called 751 00:38:53,109 --> 00:38:51,280 cutoff also known as sico 752 00:38:55,349 --> 00:38:53,119 and shortly after siko 753 00:38:57,270 --> 00:38:55,359 uh we'll be entering a coast phase and 754 00:39:07,430 --> 00:38:57,280 waiting for that confirmation of a good 755 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:17,430 chico 756 00:39:21,829 --> 00:39:19,750 nominal orbit insertion and we did get 757 00:39:22,870 --> 00:39:21,839 confirmation 758 00:39:25,349 --> 00:39:22,880 of both 759 00:39:27,349 --> 00:39:25,359 siko second engine cutoff and a nominal 760 00:39:30,069 --> 00:39:27,359 orbital insertion 761 00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:30,079 now the second stage has one last major 762 00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:32,000 task and that is commanding separation 763 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:35,280 of dragon a couple of minutes from now 764 00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:37,280 again this is the second flight for this 765 00:39:42,790 --> 00:39:39,520 particular dragon and the first reuse of 766 00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:42,800 our upgraded cargo vehicle 767 00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:44,480 we should have video of dragon 768 00:39:47,030 --> 00:39:46,000 separation from the top of the second 769 00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:47,040 stage 770 00:39:58,470 --> 00:39:48,720 it'll give us a nice view into dragon's 771 00:40:01,750 --> 00:40:00,230 and when this dragon makes its way to 772 00:40:04,230 --> 00:40:01,760 the international space station it will 773 00:40:06,069 --> 00:40:04,240 be joining the crew 2 vehicle endeavor 774 00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:06,079 currently on orbit and attached to the 775 00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:07,760 international space station it's going 776 00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:09,599 to be super cool to see two dragons 777 00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:10,800 docked to the international space 778 00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:13,280 station once again and again for cargo 779 00:40:18,790 --> 00:40:15,920 we will be delivering over 4 800 pounds 780 00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:18,800 of science research crew supplies and 781 00:40:22,390 --> 00:40:20,720 vehicle hardware to the oregon orbiting 782 00:40:24,870 --> 00:40:22,400 laboratory and its crew 783 00:40:26,309 --> 00:40:24,880 this includes the brine shrimps and ants 784 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:26,319 that we had talked about earlier in the 785 00:40:30,390 --> 00:40:28,480 broadcast 786 00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:30,400 now the science and research being done 787 00:40:34,069 --> 00:40:32,000 in microgravity on the international 788 00:40:36,309 --> 00:40:34,079 space station has benefited our lives 789 00:40:38,309 --> 00:40:36,319 here on earth for decades what's really 790 00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:38,319 cool is that our new cargo dragon 791 00:40:42,550 --> 00:40:40,240 vehicle is also able to act 792 00:40:44,150 --> 00:40:42,560 laboratory in the advancement of this 793 00:40:47,190 --> 00:40:44,160 science and research we call this 794 00:40:49,270 --> 00:40:47,200 capability extend the lab it allows 795 00:40:51,109 --> 00:40:49,280 empowered payloads to remain on dragon 796 00:40:53,109 --> 00:40:51,119 for experimentation during the duration 797 00:40:55,109 --> 00:40:53,119 of the mission this is especially 798 00:40:57,430 --> 00:40:55,119 helpful when there is limited to no 799 00:40:59,190 --> 00:40:57,440 space on station for additional science 800 00:41:01,030 --> 00:40:59,200 and it also helps cut down the amount of 801 00:41:02,950 --> 00:41:01,040 time the crew has to move payloads in 802 00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:02,960 and out of dragon 803 00:41:07,510 --> 00:41:05,680 for crs 23 there are three extend the 804 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:07,520 lab payloads launching with the mission 805 00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:09,440 and one stocked a fourth which is 806 00:41:13,109 --> 00:41:11,280 currently already attached which is 807 00:41:16,390 --> 00:41:13,119 currently already on the space station 808 00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:16,400 will be added to dragon 809 00:41:21,030 --> 00:41:18,960 so we are about a minute away from that 810 00:41:22,309 --> 00:41:21,040 separation from dragon from the second 811 00:41:24,790 --> 00:41:22,319 stage 812 00:41:26,950 --> 00:41:24,800 for now we are enjoying some views of 813 00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:26,960 the second stage merlin vacuum engine 814 00:41:31,510 --> 00:41:28,319 you can talk a little bit about the 815 00:41:34,309 --> 00:41:31,520 upgrades that have been made to dragon 816 00:41:37,109 --> 00:41:34,319 the first is solar rays typically after 817 00:41:39,589 --> 00:41:37,119 separation we wait for solar rays to 818 00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:39,599 unfurl from dragon this upgraded dragon 819 00:41:44,390 --> 00:41:42,319 has been redesigned and the solar rays 820 00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:44,400 has its panels built into the trunk 821 00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:46,240 section itself providing power during 822 00:41:52,630 --> 00:41:49,440 flight and while on board the station 823 00:41:54,710 --> 00:41:52,640 another upgrade is how we dock before we 824 00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:54,720 need a dragon to be berth which is where 825 00:41:58,790 --> 00:41:56,880 a robotic arm from the international 826 00:42:00,550 --> 00:41:58,800 space station reaches out and grabs 827 00:42:02,470 --> 00:42:00,560 dragon and will attach it to the 828 00:42:05,349 --> 00:42:02,480 international space station 829 00:42:07,430 --> 00:42:05,359 now dragon can autonomously dock 830 00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:07,440 using a centerline camera and lidar 831 00:42:12,309 --> 00:42:09,760 which is an acronym for light detection 832 00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:12,319 and ranging and so this autonomous 833 00:42:15,109 --> 00:42:14,319 docking sequence is what dragon will go 834 00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:15,119 through 835 00:42:19,190 --> 00:42:16,960 in the short future 836 00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:19,200 as it continues to make its way towards 837 00:42:25,829 --> 00:42:20,640 the international space station 838 00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:29,109 and that is a great view of dragon 839 00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:30,400 separating 840 00:42:45,109 --> 00:42:41,990 now the service section dracos will 841 00:42:46,790 --> 00:42:45,119 undergo some checkouts coming up is the 842 00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:46,800 beginning of the nosecone opening 843 00:42:51,109 --> 00:42:48,560 sequence i'm going to hand it over to 844 00:42:57,589 --> 00:42:51,119 shaniqua in houston to talk a little bit 845 00:43:01,750 --> 00:42:59,750 thanks andy everything is still going 846 00:43:03,829 --> 00:43:01,760 well back here in houston in mission 847 00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:03,839 control houston right after dragon 848 00:43:07,589 --> 00:43:05,520 separated and began a series of 849 00:43:09,190 --> 00:43:07,599 automatic checkouts including some small 850 00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:09,200 firings of the draco maneuvering 851 00:43:13,270 --> 00:43:11,440 thrusters the next milestone is the 852 00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:13,280 nosecone deploy 853 00:43:17,030 --> 00:43:14,960 the nosecone protects the docking 854 00:43:19,349 --> 00:43:17,040 hardware and rendezvous and tracking 855 00:43:22,230 --> 00:43:19,359 elements on top of dragon dragon during 856 00:43:24,550 --> 00:43:22,240 ascent the nose cone deployed uncovers 857 00:43:26,309 --> 00:43:24,560 the four ford bulkhead thrusters which 858 00:43:27,990 --> 00:43:26,319 dragon will use for its major burn 859 00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:28,000 maneuvers to catch up with the space 860 00:43:31,670 --> 00:43:29,200 station 861 00:43:33,510 --> 00:43:31,680 once open the nose cone will stay in 862 00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:33,520 that position until the very end of its 863 00:43:37,750 --> 00:43:35,760 mission closing prior to re-entry to 864 00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:37,760 provide some additional protection to 865 00:43:49,670 --> 00:43:47,829 and we currently are waiting for 866 00:45:07,829 --> 00:43:49,680 confirmation for that nose cone to be 867 00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:09,190 and if you're just joining us we're in 868 00:45:13,190 --> 00:45:10,960 mission control houston currently and 869 00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:13,200 we're waiting for the confirmation of 870 00:45:54,550 --> 00:45:52,390 and as we still wait we do have a 871 00:45:56,230 --> 00:45:54,560 special guest now joining me on the 872 00:45:58,150 --> 00:45:56,240 phone is manager of the international 873 00:46:01,190 --> 00:45:58,160 space station systems engineering and 874 00:46:02,630 --> 00:46:01,200 integration office jeff aaron 875 00:46:05,030 --> 00:46:02,640 jeff can you outline the major 876 00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:05,040 activities for the crew with crs 23 for 877 00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:06,720 us 878 00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:08,160 sure can 879 00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:10,000 in a word they're going to be extremely 880 00:46:12,710 --> 00:46:11,040 busy 881 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:12,720 conducting research there's more than a 882 00:46:16,870 --> 00:46:14,880 metric ton of research arriving with 883 00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:16,880 spacex 23 884 00:46:20,309 --> 00:46:18,480 much of which needs to be removed in 885 00:46:22,069 --> 00:46:20,319 hours to days to start the science and 886 00:46:23,349 --> 00:46:22,079 research mission 887 00:46:25,109 --> 00:46:23,359 uh because most of which will be 888 00:46:27,510 --> 00:46:25,119 completed or most of which will be 889 00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:27,520 completed in the entire 30-day mission 890 00:46:32,069 --> 00:46:30,480 for while spacex is on orbit 891 00:46:33,510 --> 00:46:32,079 and then much of that science needs to 892 00:46:35,430 --> 00:46:33,520 return with the vehicle upon its 893 00:46:36,950 --> 00:46:35,440 departure 894 00:46:38,870 --> 00:46:36,960 so in addition to the research mission 895 00:46:40,950 --> 00:46:38,880 the crew will be conducting three evas 896 00:46:43,589 --> 00:46:40,960 over a 10-day period of time 897 00:46:45,349 --> 00:46:43,599 two evas on the russian segment where 898 00:46:47,589 --> 00:46:45,359 two new power cables will be installed 899 00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:47,599 to enable additional power transfer to 900 00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:49,839 the the new module the module that just 901 00:46:54,150 --> 00:46:51,760 arrived actually a month ago today the 902 00:46:56,390 --> 00:46:54,160 multi-purpose laboratory module 903 00:46:59,030 --> 00:46:56,400 and one eva on the u.s segment to 904 00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:59,040 install the third irosa mod kit which 905 00:47:05,109 --> 00:47:01,200 will enable the future solar ray upgrade 906 00:47:08,710 --> 00:47:07,030 thanks jeff and i know you mentioned a 907 00:47:10,390 --> 00:47:08,720 lot about the science and the hardware 908 00:47:12,790 --> 00:47:10,400 that's going up 909 00:47:14,630 --> 00:47:12,800 but how critical are these deliveries 910 00:47:16,150 --> 00:47:14,640 for the station and for the astronauts 911 00:47:17,910 --> 00:47:16,160 aboard 912 00:47:19,829 --> 00:47:17,920 yeah these commercial resupply missions 913 00:47:21,510 --> 00:47:19,839 are very very important to continue 914 00:47:23,109 --> 00:47:21,520 advancing science aboard the space 915 00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:23,119 station 916 00:47:26,549 --> 00:47:24,720 over three thousand experiments have 917 00:47:28,549 --> 00:47:26,559 been conducted during the nation's life 918 00:47:30,309 --> 00:47:28,559 during the station's lifetime 919 00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:30,319 which we're now approaching coming up on 920 00:47:35,510 --> 00:47:33,440 21 years of continuous human presence 921 00:47:37,589 --> 00:47:35,520 on this flight spacex is packed with 922 00:47:39,910 --> 00:47:37,599 more than two metric tons of supplies 923 00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:39,920 research technology demonstrations and 924 00:47:43,589 --> 00:47:41,200
