looking at is a camera 209 00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:17,279 that's positioned inside the node 2 210 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:18,880 that's the forward module the harmony 211 00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,800 module and it's pointed straight up 212 00:10:25,030 --> 00:10:22,959 towards the space-facing side of the 213 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:25,040 international space station up to pma3 214 00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:26,880 pressurized mating adapter 3 now getting 215 00:10:31,509 --> 00:10:29,279 views inside the dragon pilot and 216 00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:31,519 commander that's uh shane kimbrough and 217

their suits in 220 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:41,040 position uh they are suited up the 221 00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:42,480 mission specialists will be suited up 222 00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,680 here shortly 223 00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:45,680 as they are all getting prepped we're 224 00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:47,600 getting views of mark vande inside the 225 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:49,760 pressurized mating adapter as well and 226 00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,320 again we did a go no go for weather so 227 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:54,720 we're looking very good at this time 228 00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:56,800 uh the dragon ingress operations you can 229 00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:59,120 see now are underway we're about 20 230 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:01,120 minutes to hatch closure and then from 231 00:11:04,949 --> 00:11:02,880 there it'll be about two hours until 232 00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:04,959 dragon departs the international space 233 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:07,920 station now scheduled for 1105 234 00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:09,920 am pacific time 235 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:11,360 once inside they'll have a number of 236 00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:13,120 tasks inside the capsule including 237 00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:15,040 getting internal cameras configured and 238 00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:17,760 uncovered activating the dragon cabin 239 00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:20,560 fan and associated air filters doing any 240 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:22,320 quick cleaning of their touch screen 241 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,640 displays and if neces if necessary and 242 00:11:28,310 --> 00:11:26,480 then of course donning their suits you 243 00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:28,320 can see two of them in the suits there's 244 00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:30,399 two more the admission specialist to get 245 00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,320 donned they'll be wearing that through 246 00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:34,560 the dynamic phases of the trip home that 247 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:36,240 includes undocking and departure and 248 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:38,240 then of course deorbit burn through 249 00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:39,839 splashdown 250 00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:42,560 there is also a chance for them to go 251 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:44,240 through their final checks on dragon's 252 00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:46,000 control systems before they close the 253 00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:46,880 hatch 254 00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:49,120 and depart from station that includes a 255 00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:50,720 lot of really small details like 256 00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:52,560 checking the lights in the cabin and on 257 00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:54,639 their control panels configuring their 258 00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:56,639 seats and their foot rests removing any 259 00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:58,399 temporary covers on items like the 260 00:12:02,310 --> 00:11:59,519 windows 261 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:02,320 prior to departure and of course giving 262 00:12:06,389 --> 00:12:04,399 the dragon hatch a thorough inspection 263 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:06,399 making sure that there's no fod or 264 00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:08,800 foreign object debris there on the hatch 265 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:10,160 seals we of course want to make sure 266 00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:12,959 that the hatch seal is completely sealed 267 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:14,480 and so going through all of these checks 268 00:12:18,949 --> 00:12:16,720 in preparation for departure are super 269 00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:18,959 critical um something that we mentioned 270 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,639 before just like even cleaning off the 271 00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:22,560 touch screens they have been utilizing 272 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:24,000 the touch screens 273 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:25,360 even when they haven't been wearing 274 00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:27,600 their gloves so we might need to wipe 275 00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:30,000 those off but yeah so we're progressing 276 00:12:34,870 --> 00:12:32,160 through those checks now and everybody's 277 00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:34,880 looking on time that's right and even on 278 00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:37,040 the station side mark vandehi is the 279 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:38,639 nasa crew member that will remain on 280 00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:40,720 board when we have the crew 2 astronauts 281 00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:42,959 uh returning home he'll be one of three 282 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:44,880 crew members that remain on board mark 283 00:13:03,509 --> 00:12:47,440 vanderhoff and then the uh 284 00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:04,710 all right as they're making their way 285 00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:05,920 through those contracts we may hear 286 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,949 with you make it onto 287 00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:20,550 i got you loud and clear 288 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,389 fantastic so that's pilot uh megan 289 00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:24,240 mcarthur when we get the views from the 290 00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,720 dragon capsule you'll see her uh that 291 00:13:30,550 --> 00:13:28,320 camera being behind the pilot and 292 00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:30,560 commander she'll be on the right side uh 293 00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:32,160 and she's just doing a series of comm 294 00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:33,920 checks of course the mission specialists 295 00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:35,360 are still out of their suits they have 296 00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:37,920 to ingress their suits or dawn rather 297 00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:39,920 don their suits to get ready for 298 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:42,399 undocking just about two hours from now 299 00:13:56,389 --> 00:13:54,150 so uh yeah they'll be um 300 00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:56,399 they'll be uh donning their suits and uh 301 00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:58,160 we'll have some uh 302 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:00,240 a lot of time while the 303 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:03,120 vestibule in between the dragon and the 304 00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:05,680 uh space station is pressurizing uh 305 00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,360 right now they are equalized in pressure 306 00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:09,120 and the hatches are open we're just 307 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:11,120 minutes away about 308 00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:13,920 15 minutes away from closing that dragon 309 00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:15,519 hatch from there we'll wrap up our 310 00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:18,240 coverage and uh and take a short break 311 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:20,240 uh while we wait for the vestibule to 312 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,760 pressurize in between the station and 313 00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:23,279 the dragon will come back up to do 314 00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:26,240 undocking but i was mentioning the crew 315 00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:28,639 handover uh there is a three crew 316 00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:29,839 members that are going to remain on 317 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:31,360 board mark vanderheist the nasa 318 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:33,360 astronaut we have station commander 319 00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:35,440 anton shkaplerov and piotr dubrov both 320 00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:37,839 from roscosmos that will remain on board 321 00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:40,639 this is coming from the delay of the 322 00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:43,279 crew 3 launch which is scheduled just a 323 00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:45,199 couple of days from now no earlier than 324 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:47,120 november 10th so right now we're in 325 00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:49,440 indirect handover and this is uh it's 326 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:51,760 completely fine um it just all you're 327 00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:53,680 missing out on is the opportunity for 328 00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:56,079 the crew to just show uh the the new 329 00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:58,399 crew the arriving crew crew 3 around the 330 00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:59,839 international space station gets 331 00:15:03,509 --> 00:15:01,519 familiarization on where things are 332 00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,519 including the emergency equipment but we 333 00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:05,360 have mark vanda high on board who is 334 00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:06,959 able to do that yeah and of course 335 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:07,839 weather 336 00:15:11,829 --> 00:15:10,320 especially around florida super tricky 337 00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:11,839 so unfortunately while it would be 338 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,000 preferable to do a direct handover 339 00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:16,480 really gotta do um do what's best for 340 00:15:21,269 --> 00:15:18,639 both crews and in this case uh that 341 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:21,279 involves returning the crew to uh crew 342 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:24,480 back home uh prior to crew 3 lifting off 343 00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:26,720 so like we mentioned before weather has 344 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,600 been 345 00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:28,959 in 346 00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:31,600 constant consideration over the last 347 00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:34,160 couple of days with constantly changing 348 00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:35,920 variables around the coast of florida 349 00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:37,839 both on the gulf coast as well as the 350 00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:40,000 atlantic watching things like wind 351 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,320 speeds as well as wave height 352 00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:44,160 so we're really excited that as of right 353 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:45,440 now we are 354 00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:47,279 going to be bringing everybody home from 355 00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:50,000 crew 2 today so super exciting that's 356 00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:51,519 right and it's going to be an exciting 357 00:15:55,269 --> 00:15:53,839 journey we have of course the undocking 358 00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:55,279 and it's about eight and a half hours 359 00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:57,759 until they come home about an hour and a 360 00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:00,000 half of that is dedicated to something 361 00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,079 called a fly around uh this is a new 362 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,639 capability for endeavor uh that was 363 00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:06,639 actually uh we talked about during the 364 00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:08,560 launch but really what's going to happen 365 00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:10,880 is endeavour is going to undock from the 366 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:13,279 space facing side of the harmony module 367 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:15,519 and it'll back out to waypoint 1 which 368 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:19,120 is about 200 220 meters away it'll hold 369 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,959 there for about a minute just make sure 370 00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,639 everything is lined up 371 00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:24,160 on the big loop drive and kevin 372 00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:26,120 considered for the partner is complete 373 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,749 spacex copies 374 00:16:38,069 --> 00:16:35,350 cabin configuration for departure is 375 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:39,829 fantastic cabin configuration for 376 00:16:43,509 --> 00:16:41,920 departure is complete they are just 377 00:16:45,749 --> 00:16:43,519 flying through their procedures this is 378 00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:45,759 fantastic once they actually do undock 379 00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:49,440 about two hours from now 1105 am pacific 380 00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:51,440 uh they will back up here's a fantastic 381 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:53,600 graphic back up to about uh the keep out 382 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:57,440 sphere which is about 180 to 220 it's 383 00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:59,920 going to keep within that uh 40 or so 384 00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:01,279 meter range 385 00:17:05,110 --> 00:17:03,279 and it'll essentially fly around the 386 00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:05,120 international space station going to the 387 00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:07,120 uh from the zenith or the top facing to 388 00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:09,280 the after the back and then just make 389 00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:12,160 one uh complete loop from 12 o'clock to 390 00:17:16,390 --> 00:17:14,400 12 o'clock around the international 391 00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:16,400 space station the whole time the 392 00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:18,240 dragon's nose cone will be open and they 393 00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:19,919 have a window at the very front although 394 00:17:23,350 --> 00:17:21,520 the crew will be taking pictures right 395 00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:23,360 out the window uh they'll make a full 396 00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:24,720 loop that'll take about an hour and a 397 00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:27,120 half before they do two departure burns 398 00:17:30,870 --> 00:17:28,960 that will send them outside the keep out 399 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:30,880 sphere and the approach ellipsoid and 400 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:32,880 begin the journey home it'll only be a 401 00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,240 couple of hours there and we'll can 402 00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:36,720 provide continuous coverage as they do 403 00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:38,400 those departure burns there's also a 404 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:40,880 departure phase burn uh that allows them 405 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,360 to shift the phasing from essentially 406 00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:45,120 coalipsic with the international space 407 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,360 station are pretty much right underneath 408 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:48,960 to the phasing that allows them to line 409 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:51,200 up with the primary landing zone and 410 00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,280 that is of course pensacola florida for 411 00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:55,520 today the deorbit burn is going to be a 412 00:18:00,470 --> 00:17:58,320 hefty one a 16 and a half minute burn 413 00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:00,480 they'll fire those once they do that 414 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:02,720 they are committed to land in pensacola 415 00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:03,490 florida 416 00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:05,440 [Applause] 417 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:08,000 yeah so a super exciting day like gary 418 00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:09,280 said we're going to be bringing live 419 00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:11,280 coverage throughout all of it so it's 420 00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:12,640 going to be a long one 421 00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:14,640 but we're excited to bring the crew home 422 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:15,600 today 423 00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:17,280 like we mentioned before they have been 424 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:19,360 doing lots of checkouts uh for their 425 00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:22,080 departure including suit checkouts and 426 00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:23,840 checking out the actuators of there we 427 00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:27,039 have a live view inside crew dragon 428 00:18:30,549 --> 00:18:28,880 we can see them you can see i love this 429 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:30,559 view because you can actually see what 430 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:32,640 they're seeing on their display screens 431 00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:34,559 uh obviously a map of the world they're 432 00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:35,600 showing 433 00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:39,919 a positional uh position location uh and 434 00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:43,520 uh we can on the either side is also 435 00:18:48,549 --> 00:18:46,160 an indicator showing where uh the crew 436 00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:48,559 dragon thrusters uh will actually be 437 00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:51,039 firing from firing from once those are 438 00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:54,000 actually uh happening 439 00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:56,640 the maneuvers of dragon itself are 440 00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:58,400 pretty much automatic uh they're going 441 00:19:01,510 --> 00:19:00,080 to be pretty much hands off uh 442 00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:01,520 particularly through the fly around the 443 00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:03,919 fly around they do have the ability to 444 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:06,080 uh do some manual thruster maneuvers but 445 00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:08,240 the manual piloting capability for the 446 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:10,160 fly around maneuver uh will not be 447 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:12,160 possible so it's really it's really up 448 00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:13,919 to the dragon and his computers to make 449 00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:16,320 that full loop uh and again it's it's 450 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,390 [Applause] 451 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:24,789 an endeavor spacex we can give you a go 452 00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:28,160 for step three decimal one you are go to 453 00:19:32,870 --> 00:19:30,720 complete lyo configuration imv tear down 454 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:32,880 and hatch closure for procedure two 455 00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:34,799 decimal one zero three 456 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:36,480 and reminder we are going to be using 457 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:44,070 cartridge to you and all the all the 458 00:19:57,430 --> 00:19:54,070 all right continuing to configure that 459 00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:57,440 uh dragon uh for its departure 460 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,440 uh for the past six months dragon has 461 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:01,200 been relying on the eclipse or 462 00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:03,120 environmental control systems of the 463 00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:05,520 international space station hatches uh 464 00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:07,360 have have pretty much been open and they 465 00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:09,039 have access to it and they've been able 466 00:20:13,510 --> 00:20:11,200 to circulate some air uh through the 467 00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,520 pressurized mating adapter but now the 468 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:15,360 dragon is depart departing it has to 469 00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:17,200 rely on its own systems and of course 470 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,000 the lyo canisters the lithium hydroxide 471 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,240 those have the very very important 472 00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:24,240 environmental control capability of 473 00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:26,400 scrubbing carbon dioxide from the cabin 474 00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,400 of the dragon yeah one thing i want to 475 00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:30,159 point out while we have this shot you 476 00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:32,240 can see there 477 00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:34,159 in the center where that circle is so 478 00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:36,720 that is the hatch for the nose cone 479 00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:38,720 that's actually the window 480 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:40,960 that they'll be taking photos from so uh 481 00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:43,520 while that hatch is currently open uh we 482 00:20:48,710 --> 00:20:46,480 can looks like we got some waves there 483 00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:48,720 you can actually see the window itself 484 00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:50,720 where um the crew will be taking photos 485 00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:52,640 from during the fly around procedure as 486 00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:55,600 gary mentioned before 487 00:21:00,789 --> 00:20:58,320 there are a couple of uh positions that 488 00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:00,799 they can that the crew themselves can be 489 00:21:04,710 --> 00:21:02,640 in it'll be up to you can see the window 490 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:04,720 itself is pretty small and they'll have 491 00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:07,600 a handheld dslr camera to be able to 492 00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:10,320 take uh photos and it's completely up to 493 00:21:14,630 --> 00:21:12,240 their comfort level on what position 494 00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:14,640 they decide to be in they're in space so 495 00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:16,320 they don't really need to worry about up 496 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:18,640 or down uh so you can see them in 497 00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:20,320 essentially the same orientation that 498 00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:22,320 they are in now just essentially putting 499 00:21:26,549 --> 00:21:24,559 their feet towards the the uh where the 500 00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:26,559 cargo is and and heading out that way 501 00:21:31,029 --> 00:21:28,640 they also have the ability if they 502 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,039 desire to flip completely upside down 503 00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:34,080 and hang their feet uh on the uh on the 504 00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:36,320 seats themselves it might provide a 505 00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:38,400 better uh angle who knows this will be 506 00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:40,480 the first fly around for dragon spacex 507 00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:46,130 go ahead 508 00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:48,000 [Applause] 509 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:49,520 hey shane we're going to go ahead and 510 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:52,000 have you cycle the power to display 511 00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:52,960 alpha 512 00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:54,960 we are still investigating potential 513 00:22:04,710 --> 00:21:56,640 causes on the ground but we'd like to 514 00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:06,710 okay that's just uh turning the display 515 00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:09,120 off and on on the touchscreen as that is 516 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:12,559 something bigger than that 517 00:22:16,230 --> 00:22:14,320 we're going to actually power cycle it 518 00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:16,240 using the display power button in the 519 00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:35,110 we're seeing that procedure happen real 520 00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:37,919 time now the simple power cycle is is 521 00:22:41,669 --> 00:22:39,600 what you and i do at home whenever our 522 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:41,679 laptop is not working we turn it off and 523 00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:44,320 on again um a very simple fix but 524 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:45,760 they'll they'll analyze to make sure 525 00:23:03,909 --> 00:22:54,600 them back up now cycle know what you see 526 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:05,190 on the left you're getting a view from 527 00:23:09,190 --> 00:23:07,120 inside mission control hawthorne that's 528 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:09,200 the core position essentially the same 529 00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:10,640 as the capcom position in mission 530 00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:12,480 control houston the voice from mission 531 00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:14,640 control hawthorne up to the crew inside 532 00:23:44,789 --> 00:23:42,470 behind the display as you can see 533 00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:44,799 tomorrow pesky mission specialist he'll 534 00:23:52,820 --> 00:23:46,880 be flanking uh shane kimbrough and megan 535 00:23:52,830 --> 00:23:57,750 [Applause] 536 00:24:01,590 --> 00:23:59,909 spacex copies still still data on 537 00:24:03,110 --> 00:24:01,600 display alpha we are going to continue 538 00:24:08,870 --> 00:24:03,120 looking at this on the ground and i'll 539 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:18,870 never copies 540 00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:19,669 what you're hearing is the 541 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:21,520 communications from the core here in 542 00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:23,440 mission control hawthorne up to the 543 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,960 endeavor crew 544 00:24:28,789 --> 00:24:26,640 just getting dragon configured is going 545 00:24:31,110 --> 00:24:28,799 to be about two hours from now until 546 00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:31,120 they uh physically separate or undock 547 00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:33,760 from the international space station's 548 00:24:36,549 --> 00:24:35,120 node to 549 00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:36,559 harmony port on the zenith or 550 00:24:41,909 --> 00:24:39,120 space-facing side getting some views for 551 00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:41,919 of the earth now they'll be able to 552 00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:44,559 see a lot of that during their journey 553 00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:46,400 again about over the course of eight and 554 00:24:50,149 --> 00:24:48,640 a half hours they'll see a few sunrises 555 00:24:52,149 --> 00:24:50,159 and sunsets so 556 00:24:54,390 --> 00:24:52,159 we'll see what happens during the fly 557 00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:54,400 around maneuver flying around 558 00:24:58,950 --> 00:24:56,080 again we'll take about an hour and a 559 00:25:00,549 --> 00:24:58,960 half we have a lot coming up uh we're 560 00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:00,559 just about five minutes away from the 561 00:25:06,910 --> 00:25:03,600 scheduled hatch closure uh period 562 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:06,920 endeavor liar turns out 1709. 563 00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:09,520 [Applause] 564 00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:16,230 they're changing out those lithium 565 00:25:20,789 --> 00:25:18,320 hydroxide canisters making sure they 566 00:25:23,830 --> 00:25:20,799 have fresh canisters able to scrub 567 00:25:26,230 --> 00:25:23,840 carbon dioxide for the journey home 568 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:26,240 so that will start about five minutes 569 00:25:29,990 --> 00:25:27,760 from now when they close the hatches 570 00:25:31,669 --> 00:25:30,000 it'll take some time until they actually 571 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,679 physically uh undock from the 572 00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:33,520 international space station because 573 00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:35,440 there are about three hatches 574 00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:37,600 that separate the international space 575 00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:39,360 station crew from the dragon crew the 576 00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:41,279 first hatch that they'll close uh you 577 00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:42,960 can see we're seeing in the background 578 00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:44,640 when we got that over the shoulder view 579 00:25:48,789 --> 00:25:46,320 from inside dragon but that was the 580 00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:48,799 forward uh hatch of the dragon that is 581 00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:50,720 the dragon hatch on the other side of 582 00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:52,320 that is something called the a pass 583 00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:55,360 hatch uh that's essentially the uh use 584 00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:57,440 that this is about where mark vande high 585 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:00,240 is right now uh he's pretty much facing 586 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:03,600 it uh it's uh it's the hatch on the uh 587 00:26:08,669 --> 00:26:06,080 station side in between which is called 588 00:26:11,110 --> 00:26:08,679 the vestibule that's the part that'll be 589 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:11,120 depressurized down to vacuum before they 590 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:12,960 actually physically separate 591 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:20,149 there you go hash closure is just 592 00:26:23,110 --> 00:26:21,600 moments away 593 00:26:24,630 --> 00:26:23,120 spacex copies 594 00:26:31,669 --> 00:26:24,640 closure and work 595 00:26:35,669 --> 00:26:33,350 and again that'll be that'll be the 596 00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:35,679 first hatch dragon hatch that once 597 00:26:40,710 --> 00:26:38,320 that's closed we'll wrap up our coverage 598 00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:40,720 and allow the crew some time to close 599 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:42,720 the remaining hatches the a pass being 600 00:26:46,549 --> 00:26:44,400 another station hatch that creates the 601 00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:46,559 vestibule that would be depressurized uh 602 00:26:49,990 --> 00:26:48,400 the part that you see mark van gaal in 603 00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:50,000 right now that won't be depressed 604 00:26:53,909 --> 00:26:51,520 depressurized that's the pressurized 605 00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:53,919 mating adapter but on the towards the 606 00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:56,159 screen a little bit is the node two 607 00:27:00,310 --> 00:26:58,080 hatch node two zenith or space facing 608 00:27:02,470 --> 00:27:00,320 hatch that's the third hatch uh that'll 609 00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:02,480 be closed from there mark vanda high 610 00:27:07,029 --> 00:27:04,240 will move over to the cupola and it'll 611 00:27:08,789 --> 00:27:07,039 be his job to monitor uh dragon's 612 00:27:10,549 --> 00:27:08,799 departure as well as a fly-around 613 00:27:13,510 --> 00:27:10,559 maneuver and he'll remain in that 614 00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:13,520 position until uh they exit the approach 615 00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:16,480 ellipsoid uh there's two uh imaginary 616 00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:18,080 circles around the international space 617 00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:19,440 station one of them is the keep out 618 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:21,440 sphere that's about what they'll hover 619 00:27:27,669 --> 00:27:24,880 for the uh fly around maneuver about 180 620 00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:27,679 to 220 meters or roughly that 40 meter 621 00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:29,919 stretch and just really circle around 622 00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:36,470 is open 623 00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:43,110 spacex copies hatch closed and pprv iso 624 00:27:48,149 --> 00:27:46,640 valve is in the expected position 625 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:48,159 all right so good news there hearing 626 00:27:52,310 --> 00:27:50,240 that the hatch has been closed uh on 627 00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:52,320 your screen now a live view of dragon 628 00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:53,520 the first time we're seeing it this 629 00:27:59,510 --> 00:27:56,960 morning uh the crew 2 crew there is on 630 00:28:01,029 --> 00:27:59,520 on station they are now inside dragon 631 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:01,039 crew dragon that you see on your screen 632 00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:03,840 there that is dragon endeavor as you 633 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:05,039 hear them call out during these 634 00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:07,200 communications back and forth uh from 635 00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:09,600 station to ground so super exciting 636 00:28:13,510 --> 00:28:11,360 milestone uh we've been waiting for the 637 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:13,520 last few minutes very exciting so now 638 00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:15,520 that dragon's hatch is closed shane 639 00:28:19,269 --> 00:28:17,440 kimbrough and megan mcarthur will finish 640 00:28:20,789 --> 00:28:19,279 configuring the dragon cabin and of 641 00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:20,799 course they already have their suits 642 00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:23,520 donned aki hoshide and tomato skay will 643 00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:25,279 put on their suits and get in their 644 00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:27,279 seats ready for undocking two hours from 645 00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:29,600 now yeah no i love these suits the 646 00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:31,760 suit's primary function is to protect 647 00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:34,000 the crew in the event of a cabin 648 00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:36,720 depressurization if that were to occur 649 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,480 the suit would inflate to provide a 650 00:28:43,269 --> 00:28:40,720 habitable environment long enough for 651 00:28:45,909 --> 00:28:43,279 the crew to return home whatever ms1 and 652 00:28:48,549 --> 00:28:45,919 ms2 are getting their suits on 653 00:28:50,789 --> 00:28:48,559 all right so call up there that uh aki 654 00:28:51,669 --> 00:28:50,799 and somebody copies ms1 and ms2 getting 655 00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:51,679 suited 656 00:28:56,389 --> 00:28:54,080 are both suiting up 657 00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:56,399 uh the flame resistant materials on the 658 00:29:00,149 --> 00:28:58,159 outer layer of the suit all would also 659 00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:00,159 protect the crew in the unlikely event 660 00:29:04,789 --> 00:29:02,480 of a fire so again the first hatch is 661 00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:04,799 closed the uh dragon hatch in a few 662 00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:06,720 minutes the a pass hatch on the station 663 00:29:11,269 --> 00:29:08,960 side will be closed a patch 664 00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:11,279 a pass is an acronym that stands for 665 00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:13,440 androgynous peripheral attachment system 666 00:29:17,029 --> 00:29:15,520 so you can see why we use the acronym 667 00:29:19,029 --> 00:29:17,039 it's an integra and it's an integral 668 00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:19,039 part of the docking system but before 669 00:29:23,029 --> 00:29:21,200 closing it vanda high again you saw him 670 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:23,039 attaching a docking target that'll be 671 00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:24,799 used to fine-tune the alignment for an 672 00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:26,399 approaching spacecraft not something 673 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:28,720 required for undock but would obviously 674 00:29:31,830 --> 00:29:30,240 need to be there for the next spacecraft 675 00:29:35,110 --> 00:29:31,840 docking to this port which in this case 676 00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:35,120 will be crs 24 the spacex cargo craft 677 00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:37,440 now once both the dragon and a-pass 678 00:29:40,950 --> 00:29:39,039 hatches have been closed 679 00:29:43,029 --> 00:29:40,960 depressurization of the vestibule will 680 00:29:44,789 --> 00:29:43,039 begin the vegetable as gary mentioned 681 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:44,799 before is the area 682 00:29:49,110 --> 00:29:46,960 between dragon and the station's docking 683 00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:49,120 port that will be exposed to the vacuum 684 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:51,600 of space following undocking it's been 685 00:29:55,510 --> 00:29:53,440 filled with air that originally came 686 00:29:58,310 --> 00:29:55,520 from the station's atmosphere and will 687 00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:58,320 be brought down to vacuum for undocking 688 00:30:02,630 --> 00:30:00,240 if this wasn't done breaking the seal 689 00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:02,640 between dragon and the station would 690 00:30:06,549 --> 00:30:05,200 result in a very fairly propulsive burst 691 00:30:09,029 --> 00:30:06,559 of air 692 00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:09,039 so again we have the a pass hatch closed 693 00:30:13,510 --> 00:30:11,360 coming up and then uh while we're off 694 00:30:15,990 --> 00:30:13,520 air the vestibule will depressurize 695 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:16,000 that's at about 9 40 a.m pacific it'll 696 00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:17,840 take some time once they actually bring 697 00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:20,080 it down to vacuum they pause at about 5 698 00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:22,480 psi to do a leak check that's expected 699 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:24,880 about 10 40 a.m pacific and then of 700 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:26,559 course they'll configure the dragon for 701 00:30:31,110 --> 00:30:29,760 both fly around and for undocking 702 00:30:32,950 --> 00:30:31,120 we'll be back 703 00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:32,960 to provide some coverage right before 704 00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:36,240 they do the final go no go for undocking 705 00:30:39,830 --> 00:30:38,000 and then the undocking sequence starts 706 00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:39,840 at about 11 o'clock 707 00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:42,240 a.m pacific it takes about five minutes 708 00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:44,320 once that sequence starts to undo the 709 00:30:49,669 --> 00:30:46,960 hooks and then there's a couple um uh 710 00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:49,679 burns that'll happen 711 00:30:53,909 --> 00:30:51,600 separate for awareness we are going to 712 00:31:00,470 --> 00:30:53,919 clear the inactive onboard alert from 713 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,630 thank you 714 00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:05,990 all right they're continuing to work 715 00:31:10,230 --> 00:31:07,840 that uh display making sure it's ready 716 00:31:13,669 --> 00:31:10,240 to undock uh two hours from now again 717 00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:13,679 that physical separation is uh 1105 a.m 718 00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:29,750 looks like uh 719 00:31:33,430 --> 00:31:31,760 mark vande is taking some photos there 720 00:31:34,870 --> 00:31:33,440 is that window the same window that the 721 00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:34,880 crew will use to take photos of the 722 00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:36,240 international space station during the 723 00:31:41,990 --> 00:31:39,200 fly around sending some final uh final 724 00:31:43,590 --> 00:31:42,000 photos and final goodbyes to to the crew 725 00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:43,600 there 726 00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:45,120 it is a pretty small window that they 727 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:46,880 have to look out as we saw earlier while 728 00:31:51,590 --> 00:31:48,880 the crew was ingressing 729 00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:51,600 so i'm sure that the waves through the 730 00:31:57,190 --> 00:31:54,559 window are these little mini waves but 731 00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:57,200 like we said before uh pilot megan 732 00:32:01,590 --> 00:31:59,600 macarthur and commander shane kimbra are 733 00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:01,600 both suited up and in their seats 734 00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:04,399 mission specialists aki hoshide and 735 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,559 thomas pesquet are now donning their 736 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:09,039 suits as well or putting their suits on 737 00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:11,440 and they will be preparing to get in 738 00:32:16,389 --> 00:32:13,760 their seats and buckle up 739 00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:16,399 after that of course prior to departure 740 00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:18,559 there's going to be some uh suit leech 741 00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:20,720 leak checks and that's when 742 00:32:24,389 --> 00:32:22,240 we basically pressurize the suits to 743 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:24,399 make sure that all of the zippers and 744 00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:26,240 all the fasteners are in place so that 745 00:32:30,789 --> 00:32:28,720 the suit can hold pressure 746 00:32:32,470 --> 00:32:30,799 which is you know like we said before in 747 00:32:34,389 --> 00:32:32,480 the unlikely event of an emergency the 748 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:34,399 suit would act like a mini environment 749 00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:36,240 to keep the crew safe very important 750 00:32:39,909 --> 00:32:37,760 during the dynamic phases of the flight 751 00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:39,919 and that includes the undocking but 752 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:42,240 again the dragon hatch is closed so now 753 00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:44,240 that that dragon hatch is closed uh the 754 00:32:48,230 --> 00:32:46,640 crew is preparing to depart uh and we're 755 00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:48,240 gonna take a short break before we get 756 00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:50,000 ready for undocking to allow all of that 757 00:32:54,230 --> 00:32:52,159 um vestibule depressurization all the 758 00:32:56,549 --> 00:32:54,240 hatches to be closed uh and we'll come 759 00:33:00,230 --> 00:32:56,559 back our live coverage will pick back up 760 00:33:01,830 --> 00:33:00,240 at 10 45 a.m pacific about 15 minutes 761 00:33:03,909 --> 00:33:01,840 before the undock command is sent to the 762 00:33:06,710 --> 00:33:03,919 dragon and gets ready to physically 763 00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:06,720 separate from the station once we undock 764 00:33:11,830 --> 00:33:08,880 we will stay live with you the entire 765 00:33:14,230 --> 00:33:11,840 time until dragon splashes down off the 766 00:33:17,269 --> 00:33:14,240 coast of florida later today which is on 767 00:33:20,789 --> 00:33:17,279 target for today monday november 8th 768 00:33:24,789 --> 00:33:20,799 at 7 33 p.m pacific or 769 00:33:26,950 --> 00:33:24,799 3 33 gmt so don't go anywhere we'll see 770 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:26,960 you soon as crew 2 gets ready to leave
