1
00:00:03,270 --> 00:00:01,829
and recovery of the team as well so

2
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:03,280
don't go anywhere

3
00:00:07,670 --> 00:00:05,040
we are just waiting on a couple of major

4
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:07,680
events here enjoying some views of the

5
00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:09,920
crew inside the capsule as you can see

6
00:03:04,790 --> 00:00:46,650
[Music]

7
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:06,869
dragon the orbit sequence start in five

8
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,640
copy

9
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:36,680
[Music]

10
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,840
all right so we are continuing to track

11
00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,040
the uh

12
00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,519
return of crew 2 and the astronauts back

13
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:03,840
to planet earth we just heard we are

14
00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,760
just moments away from entering the d

15
00:04:09,270 --> 00:04:07,280
orbit sequence

16
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:09,280
we did a quick fact check on some of the

17
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:10,720
burns that we've been monitoring

18
00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:12,080
throughout today's flight as we've been

19
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:14,319
providing continuous coverage and we did

20
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:16,880
get confirmation that that uh departure

21
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:19,359
phase burn which we have discussed

22
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:22,800
takes the dragon out of the coalitic

23
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:25,520
phasing that is really uh matching the

24
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,680
international space station with both

25
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:29,840
the perigee and apogee and puts it on a

26
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:32,800
course uh with that landing site which

27
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:35,840
is pensacola florida that did happen uh

28
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:38,240
so so we do have confirmation that all

29
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:40,080
of the phasing burns the departure burns

30
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:42,479
that are necessary to line dragon up for

31
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:44,720
the d orbit sequence which we're hearing

32
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,800
is about to uh take place here

33
00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:49,199
momentarily uh that we are all lined up

34
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,960
all of the burns have taken place dragon

35
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,880
is in a good phase a good position to

36
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:54,960
get ready for this next sequence of very

37
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:57,280
critical events and what that means is

38
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,680
we have just one more burn left the

39
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:01,120
deorbit burn right a couple of things

40
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:03,759
need to happen again before we um start

41
00:05:07,590 --> 00:05:05,840
this uh in

42
00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:07,600
about three minutes we'll begin to

43
00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,639
maneuver or slow the dragon uh to the

44
00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:12,639
appropriate um

45
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:14,960
attitude in order to prep for claw

46
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,520
separation and then trunk separation

47
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,680
after that we'll slew back

48
00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:20,800
the uh

49
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:23,840
the four forward bulkhead thrusters

50
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:25,520
underneath the nose cone

51
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:27,759
will fire for about 16 and a half

52
00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:28,639
minutes

53
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:30,880
that will be what slows down dragon and

54
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,600
brings its altitude down enough to start

55
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:35,360
to

56
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:39,360
sort of hit some of the atmospheric

57
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:43,120
particles of earth and then from there

58
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:44,960
we'll start to re-enter the earth's

59
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,919
atmosphere enter that blackout period

60
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:49,840
for about seven minutes where there's

61
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,400
just plasma being built up around the

62
00:05:56,790 --> 00:05:54,720
exterior of dragon so we'll lose

63
00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:56,800
communications for about seven minutes

64
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:00,160
after that we'll regain communications

65
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:02,400
uh we have uh parachute deploys we have

66
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,400
two sets uh first up is the dro shoots

67
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,120
that will take the dragon uh veloci the

68
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:09,759
dragon capsule velocity from about 350

69
00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:12,960
miles per hour to 120 miles an hour from

70
00:06:16,150 --> 00:06:14,080
there the

71
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:16,160
main shoots will deploy taking us from

72
00:06:23,110 --> 00:06:20,160
120 miles an hour down to about 15

73
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:23,120
for a nice soft landing uh on off the go

74
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,560
off the co

75
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,800
the gulf of mexico

76
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,960
so that is uh going to kick off here

77
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:31,120
very shortly we're coming up on just

78
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:33,840
about an hour from the predicted

79
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,400
splashdown time uh we did hear there

80
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,080
were slight adjustments in some of the

81
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,919
sequence and that sequence the deorbit

82
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:41,520
sequence itself about to begin here

83
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,680
momentarily uh with starting with the

84
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:45,600
claw separation and trunk separation but

85
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:47,360
that'll kick off once that sequence

86
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:50,160
starts it's about an hour timeline uh

87
00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:51,840
from the time that that sequence starts

88
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:54,000
to the time that we are in the water

89
00:07:00,469 --> 00:06:57,120
we're still targeting 7 33 p.m pacific

90
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:00,479
standard time 10 33 pm eastern standard

91
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:01,680
time

92
00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:04,160
yeah so again uh everything that we just

93
00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,759
talked about is going to happen in that

94
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,039
hour so like

95
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,800
you know we we we saw the crew enjoy

96
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:10,400
their meal they don their spacesuits

97
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:13,520
once again uh and i really had a bit of

98
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:16,000
a respite before right these very

99
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:18,000
dynamic portions of

100
00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:20,240
of the the operation so things will

101
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,599
definitely get exciting here in the next

102
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:23,280
couple of minutes

103
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:24,560
and we'll be with you every step of the

104
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:26,800
way uh we're expecting communications

105
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:28,720
with the crew throughout each of these

106
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:31,120
different phases confirmation of trunk

107
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:33,360
separation uh the claw the claw opening

108
00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:36,000
the claw separation trunk separation uh

109
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:38,240
when the deorbit burn starts it's going

110
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:40,880
to be uh quite uh quite a long time that

111
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:43,039
those forward bulkhead dracos will fire

112
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:45,120
it is the longest burn of the entire

113
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:47,120
flight the eight and a half hour journey

114
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:48,879
from undocking from the international

115
00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:50,800
space station to splashing down off the

116
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:53,199
coast of florida 16 and a half minutes

117
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,039
in this particular phasing because of

118
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,360
the short flight uh that is a much

119
00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,759
longer burn uh with some of the longer

120
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:01,759
phases when we're talking about eighteen

121
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:04,160
or nineteen hours uh

122
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:05,680
sequence

123
00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:24,309
so again that was confirmation of the

124
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:26,319
beginning of the deorbit sequence again

125
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:29,520
it involves a a number of different

126
00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,000
items to occur right now again the the

127
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:34,560
dragon is starting to maneuver itself

128
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,360
orient itself uh to prep for claw and

129
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:39,120
trunk separation

130
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:42,320
so the first step is the claw separation

131
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,560
right now we're in the preparation phase

132
00:08:49,030 --> 00:08:46,480
uh this is an automatic sequence now

133
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:49,040
that we're in the uh d orbit sequence

134
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:51,120
which just kicked off uh it's an

135
00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:53,279
automatic sequence that starts with claw

136
00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:56,080
separation the claw is uh essentially

137
00:09:01,910 --> 00:08:58,959
the umbilic the umbilical that routes uh

138
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:01,920
uh power to the dragon capsule it's

139
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,160
connected as part of the trunk

140
00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:06,720
so we'll disconnect that first

141
00:09:11,829 --> 00:09:08,959
pop off the uh trunk so to speak and

142
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:11,839
once that happens the dragon capsule is

143
00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:14,800
um uh running exclusively

144
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:16,640
exclusively on its own um internal

145
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:24,230
and there's plenty to spare too through

146
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,760
the uh

147
00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:27,760
six months or so that the

148
00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:29,519
uh dragon has been attached to the

149
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:31,600
international space station it really

150
00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:33,760
hasn't had to rely on its own power at

151
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:35,680
all the international space station has

152
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:39,440
gigantic basketball court sized uh solar

153
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,440
arrays in addition to a couple of new

154
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:43,360
solar arrays that some of the crew 2

155
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:45,440
astronauts themselves installed and

156
00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,519
deployed on the outside of the station

157
00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:49,440
all providing power not only to the

158
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:51,440
international space station but to the

159
00:09:55,910 --> 00:09:53,680
dragon while it's been docked uh during

160
00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:55,920
the docked phase the dragon itself is

161
00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:58,880
connected via umbilical that provides

162
00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,600
communication and of course power uh to

163
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:03,600
the vehicle so the batteries were fully

164
00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:05,760
charged uh for the ride home and then

165
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:08,399
even upon separation you can see uh you

166
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:09,519
were able to see through some of the

167
00:10:12,069 --> 00:10:10,480
views

168
00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:12,079
the uh uh

169
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:14,480
trunk itself has a series of solar

170
00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:16,320
arrays that are on one side of the trunk

171
00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:18,959
able to provide a small amount of power

172
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:21,519
throughout this uh the this phase of

173
00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:31,509
so we are expecting to get confirmation

174
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,680
of call separation and then shortly

175
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:35,360
after trunk separation

176
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:47,030
dragon is now automatically

177
00:11:02,949 --> 00:10:48,720
going into the preparations for trunk

178
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:04,870
the trunk itself um

179
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:06,800
separating it exposes the heat shield

180
00:11:12,829 --> 00:11:09,760
again that is very necessary uh to

181
00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:12,839
protect the capsule from the high

182
00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:14,959
temperatures that

183
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:17,519
it will be experiencing during

184
00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:20,000
re-entry

185
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:33,110
copy and animal drum testing

186
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:34,230
it's a great way to start off the

187
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:37,279
deorbit sequence the trunk is off

188
00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:38,800
and everything is

189
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:41,680
going smoothly so far

190
00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:43,920
coming up next uh we're going to be

191
00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:47,040
reorienting the dragon and then starting

192
00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:49,839
up the deorbit burn

193
00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,720
right now we are in a slew so now that

194
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:54,959
the dragon has

195
00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:56,959
physically separated the trunk the trunk

196
00:12:02,710 --> 00:11:59,519
has confirmed to have separated itself

197
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:02,720
from the dragon capsule uh that slough

198
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:05,040
had dragon oriented slightly to the side

199
00:12:09,910 --> 00:12:08,240
relative to how it is orbiting to allow

200
00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:09,920
there not to be a conjunction between

201
00:12:14,790 --> 00:12:12,079
the two

202
00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:14,800
bodies as they now enter into the

203
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:17,600
deorbit phase so now the dragon itself

204
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,600
is slowing into a position with the

205
00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:21,680
forward bulkhead dracos pointing

206
00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:23,440
straight on the velocity bar or the v

207
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:25,279
bar essentially the same direction that

208
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:28,160
the dragon is orbiting uh to be prepared

209
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:31,680
to fire the four bulkhead dracos for

210
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:34,480
16 and a half minutes uh that sequence

211
00:12:37,829 --> 00:12:36,399
should be coming up here in about two

212
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:37,839
minutes we should be hearing the

213
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:40,320
confirmation that the forward bulkhead

214
00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:43,120
dracos are firing and we'll so we'll

215
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,639
we'll monitor that make sure that the

216
00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:46,399
deorbit bird is good and then we have a

217
00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:49,440
good burn uh once that burn is complete

218
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:52,079
dragon is committed to re-enter the

219
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:54,000
earth's atmosphere and splash down off

220
00:12:58,069 --> 00:12:56,320
the coast of pensacola florida yeah

221
00:13:00,310 --> 00:12:58,079
that's going to be the last time that we

222
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:00,320
fire the the forward bulkhead thrusters

223
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:02,880
on the dragon vehicle uh and so again

224
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,440
after we we finished the deorbit burn

225
00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:07,279
the nose cone which is currently open

226
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:09,200
right now we're going to be closing that

227
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:11,120
it takes a couple of minutes to close

228
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:13,120
and then it latches shut

229
00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:15,839
this protects the avionics and all of

230
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:16,720
the

231
00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:20,880
we'll latch that shot because we're not

232
00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:22,880
going to be firing the dracos anymore

233
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:25,519
and then dragon really will be

234
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,440
on its trajectory towards the primary

235
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:29,600
landings off the coast of pensacola and

236
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,360
we're hearing confirmation from the

237
00:13:35,910 --> 00:13:33,360
flight control teams here in hawthorne

238
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:35,920
the dragon capsule is now switched its

239
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:38,320
attitude it's slewed into the deorbit

240
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:41,360
position and is in the deorbit attitude

241
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:43,760
now standing by for about a minute from

242
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,560
now uh where the dragon itself will fire

243
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:48,959
those four for forward bulkhead dracos

244
00:14:10,310 --> 00:13:51,040
beginning the deorbit sequence a very

245
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:12,389
so we will be bringing continuous

246
00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,440
coverage all the way through splash down

247
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:17,519
and recovery of the crew

248
00:14:21,590 --> 00:14:19,600
on screen right now is a view of

249
00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:21,600
hawthorne mission control

250
00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:23,600
folks are starting to gather around

251
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:26,480
anticipating uh crew 2's return

252
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:28,880
again off the coast of florida

253
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,320
[Music]

254
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:32,320
under an hour now

255
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:44,710
so it is worth mentioning again that the

256
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:48,320
dragon vehicle itself is a a very um

257
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:50,720
sophisticated intelligent vehicle um the

258
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:52,320
maneuvers that

259
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:53,760
it has been doing throughout its

260
00:14:59,110 --> 00:14:56,320
undocking phase and a part of its

261
00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:59,120
downhill sequences are really are

262
00:15:01,829 --> 00:15:00,320
autonomous

263
00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:01,839
the crew

264
00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:03,839
are definitely trained uh to help

265
00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:05,680
support dragon in case

266
00:15:10,230 --> 00:15:07,839
things go off nominal but really for the

267
00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:10,240
most part dragon is piloting itself it

268
00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:12,240
knows where it's at where it wants to go

269
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:13,519
and it's making all these minor

270
00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:16,480
adjustments um as needed so the crew is

271
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:18,880
in good hands uh they are

272
00:15:23,670 --> 00:15:21,040
definitely on the trajectory they need

273
00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:23,680
to be uh to return home safely back here

274
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:38,790
so we're just moments away again the d

275
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:41,199
orbit sequence has started

276
00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:42,560
right on time

277
00:15:46,629 --> 00:15:44,639
so we had a confirmed claw separation

278
00:15:48,629 --> 00:15:46,639
and trunk separation

279
00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:48,639
dragon is now in an orientation with a

280
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:50,639
forward bulkhead dracos pointed where

281
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:52,720
they need to be for this very critical

282
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:54,880
burn the deorbit burn

283
00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:56,160
we've been waiting for this moment for

284
00:15:59,430 --> 00:15:58,079
quite some time a lot of the departure

285
00:16:01,509 --> 00:15:59,440
burns that we've been following over the

286
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:01,519
past couple of hours have been really in

287
00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:03,600
anticipation of this moment we've been

288
00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:05,920
following weather all along the way

289
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:08,240
because once we start this deorbit burn

290
00:16:12,150 --> 00:16:10,079
really there's no going back

291
00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:12,160
that means that the dragon itself is

292
00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:13,279
committed

293
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:20,069
and confirm that the deorbit burn has

294
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:21,600
started

295
00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:24,000
initial checks show that the dynamics of

296
00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:25,600
that burn are looking pretty good this

297
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:28,000
is going to be a long burn 16 and a half

298
00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:30,079
minutes

299
00:16:34,069 --> 00:16:31,920
so a quick recap within the last 10

300
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:34,079
minutes a lot has happened the dragon

301
00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:35,839
has jettisoned its trunk and initiated

302
00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:37,759
the d orbit burn

303
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:41,040
which started now at about 6 40 pm uh

304
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:42,720
pacific standard time

305
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:44,800
for these operations dragon and spacex

306
00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:46,320
closely coordinate with the united

307
00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:48,480
states coast guard to establish a 10

308
00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:50,240
nautical mile safety zone to ensure

309
00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:52,320
public safety and for the safety of

310
00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:53,680
those involved in the recovery

311
00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:55,839
operations as well as the crew on board

312
00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,680
their returning spacecraft

313
00:17:02,069 --> 00:16:59,360
multiple notices are issued to the

314
00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:02,079
mariners in the in advance and during

315
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:03,839
recovery operations and the coast guard

316
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:06,480
patrol boats are deployed to discourage

317
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:08,640
boaters from entering the splashdown

318
00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,559
zones we really want to stress to the

319
00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:12,880
public the need to respect this safety

320
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:14,959
zone recovering a spacecraft from the

321
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:17,839
water is a hazardous operation and any

322
00:17:21,189 --> 00:17:19,600
other boats interfering increases the

323
00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:21,199
risk to astronauts in the capsule the

324
00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:22,959
teams working to recover them from the

325
00:17:26,630 --> 00:17:25,439
water and the safety of those that come

326
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:26,640
to close

327
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:28,640
for the safety of the crew and your

328
00:17:32,390 --> 00:17:30,720
safety we recommend that you sit back

329
00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:32,400
and watch and we'll be bringing you the

330
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:34,559
best possible coverage of our astronauts

331
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:35,840
homecoming

332
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:37,760
and like i mentioned earlier this dealer

333
00:17:42,549 --> 00:17:40,240
burn is the last time that those four

334
00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:42,559
forward draco thrusters will fire uh

335
00:17:46,549 --> 00:17:44,880
dragon endeavor has not yet entered

336
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:46,559
earth's atmosphere yet

337
00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:48,320
this dior vern is what will line the

338
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:49,919
vehicle up and put it on its final

339
00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:52,240
trajectory to the landing so to the

340
00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,480
landing site in the gulf of mexico just

341
00:17:59,909 --> 00:17:56,799
off the coast of pensacola florida so

342
00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,919
right now shane megan aki and tomah

343
00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:01,679
they're using their screens to keep tabs

344
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:04,320
on the burn durations uh draco thrusts

345
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:06,240
their firings and trajectory details

346
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:08,960
like entry angle capsule perigee and how

347
00:18:12,390 --> 00:18:10,960
much distance remaining until the

348
00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:12,400
de-orbit burn

349
00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:14,160
is terminated they have access to that

350
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:16,240
uh with the displays in front of them uh

351
00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:18,080
again dragon is essentially flying

352
00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:20,559
itself so all the crew has to do is uh

353
00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:22,640
stay strapped into their seats and keep

354
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:24,960
tabs on things uh so we're waiting to

355
00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:28,080
hear the callout for uh nominal burn uh

356
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:30,080
to confirm completion of the deal rip

357
00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:32,320
burn for uh dragon endeavor that's going

358
00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:35,360
to be coming up uh in about 12 minutes

359
00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:38,559
13 minutes uh so it's still a bit longer

360
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:40,720
to go on the steel repair that's right

361
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:42,799
we're coming up on about three minutes

362
00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:45,120
into the deorbit burn and it is a very

363
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:47,360
long burn particularly with this phasing

364
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:49,520
uh which is the short trip from

365
00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:51,760
undocking to splashdown that doesn't

366
00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:53,760
include a sleep period or anything for

367
00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:54,960
the crew they're really in it for the

368
00:18:59,750 --> 00:18:57,200
long haul um these forward bulkhead

369
00:19:02,150 --> 00:18:59,760
dragos need to fire for about 16 and a

370
00:19:03,990 --> 00:19:02,160
half minutes we've seen very similar

371
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:04,000
profiles for some of the other missions

372
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:06,080
crew one and i believe crew 2 had a

373
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:08,400
pretty similar profile or not crew 2

374
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:11,280
demo 2 had a very similar profile about

375
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:14,160
roughly the same period of time uh from

376
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:15,840
the time of undocking to the time of

377
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:17,600
splashdown so it seems to be a pretty

378
00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:19,760
popular profile so we'll just sit back

379
00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:22,240
and uh make sure that the deorbit burn

380
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:24,080
is is continuing to look good and so far

381
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:25,520
teams are tracking that it is we're

382
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:27,600
about four minutes in at this point um

383
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:30,080
and which is into a 16 and a half minute

384
00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:31,200
burn

385
00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:34,480
and on screen is uh rr4 astronauts on

386
00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:36,799
board dragon uh left to right issa's

387
00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,240
tomah thomas

388
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:40,799
he is the mission specialist uh then we

389
00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:43,760
have the pilot megan macarthur and uh

390
00:19:48,310 --> 00:19:45,840
the commander shane kimbrough both from

391
00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:48,320
nasa and then we have jaxa astronaut

392
00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:50,240
akihiko hoshide

393
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:52,320
who is also the mission specialist so

394
00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:55,039
again they are both uh they are all in

395
00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,280
their suits um strapped in and um

396
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:01,840
eagerly awaiting their their return and

397
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:02,640
uh

398
00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:08,240
45 minutes oh excuse me um 45 minutes

399
00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:10,880
until splashdown about an hour until

400
00:20:15,430 --> 00:20:13,600
they can egress the vehicle

401
00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:15,440
each of them has had a long journey on

402
00:20:19,870 --> 00:20:17,120
board the international space station

403
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:19,880
they've been in space for

404
00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,480
199 days 198 of those were attached to

405
00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:26,640
the international space station each of

406
00:20:31,669 --> 00:20:29,520
them have had very critical roles uh in

407
00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:31,679
the some of the activities that have

408
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:33,440
taken place on board

409
00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:34,880
tomorrow pesquet

410
00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:36,720
just handed over command of the

411
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,240
international space station he was

412
00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:40,320
commander for just a little bit uh for

413
00:20:45,990 --> 00:20:43,760
the very beginning of expedition 66

414
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:46,000
he handed he took over command of the

415
00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:48,080
international space station from aki

416
00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:50,400
hoshide who had it for quite some time

417
00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:52,880
during expedition 65 he was the

418
00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:55,600
international space station commander uh

419
00:20:59,990 --> 00:20:58,080
of course we heard that shane kimbrough

420
00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:00,000
is the commander for the

421
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:02,640
crew dragon vehicle uh and each of those

422
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:04,559
three have conducted uh several

423
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:06,400
spacewalks onboard the international

424
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:07,840
space station there have been four

425
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:10,080
spacewalks completed uh that each of

426
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:12,480
them took part in tomah pesquet taking

427
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:15,200
place taking part in all four of them

428
00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:18,080
there was one uh spacewalk that was to

429
00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:21,039
set up uh one of the station's power

430
00:21:25,029 --> 00:21:23,280
systems with a modification kit in

431
00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:25,039
preparation for future solar arrays that

432
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:27,440
was done by tomokosuke and aki hoshide

433
00:21:30,710 --> 00:21:28,799
the first time

434
00:21:32,390 --> 00:21:30,720
that international astronauts not from

435
00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:32,400
the us or russia

436
00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:34,400
were part of a uh

437
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:36,240
a spacewalk so they did make history

438
00:21:39,350 --> 00:21:37,120
there

439
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:39,360
and then of course uh shane kimbrough

440
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:42,000
conducted three of those himself

441
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,480
so he has nine spacewalks under his belt

442
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:47,039
and he has uh one of the all-time

443
00:21:52,430 --> 00:21:49,919
records for most amount of time in space

444
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:52,440
for any us astronaut he's sitting at

445
00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:54,400
388 days

446
00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:57,039
of his career total over his

447
00:22:00,870 --> 00:21:59,280
three space flights to the inter

448
00:22:08,470 --> 00:22:00,880
well to the international space station

449
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:10,870
six minutes into the 16 minute deorbit

450
00:22:15,990 --> 00:22:13,440
burn we're looking good

451
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:16,000
yeah earlier we had a um out of plane

452
00:22:21,110 --> 00:22:18,400
burn and that was also used as a

453
00:22:22,710 --> 00:22:21,120
propellant wasting burn and so we dumped

454
00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:22,720
a lot of mass with the propellant

455
00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:24,880
propellants that we don't need anymore

456
00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:26,960
that in combination with the drug the

457
00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:27,840
trunk

458
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:30,480
uh jettison that we just had sheds a lot

459
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:32,480
of mass from the vehicle it actually

460
00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:34,320
makes this deorbit burn a lot more

461
00:22:37,510 --> 00:22:35,360
efficient

462
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:37,520
so that way

463
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,440
we can

464
00:22:43,669 --> 00:22:41,360
be yes again as efficient as possible to

465
00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:43,679
slow down the vehicle bring its altitude

466
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:46,080
down uh in order for it to begin its

467
00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:52,070
this is a very critical phase we've

468
00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:54,240
we've seen a lot of action over these uh

469
00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:55,840
past couple of hours as we've been

470
00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:58,240
providing some continuous coverage

471
00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:00,960
it all started with some hatch closure

472
00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:04,559
uh where the dragon crew said goodbye to

473
00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:05,919
the crew on board the international

474
00:23:09,990 --> 00:23:07,919
space station only three crew members on

475
00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:10,000
board now that includes uh commander

476
00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:12,480
anton shkaplerov from roscosmos as well

477
00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:15,280
as piotr du bravo vs cosmos and then

478
00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:17,200
mark vande high who is pulling the long

479
00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:18,799
haul here he's going to be on station

480
00:23:22,870 --> 00:23:21,039
for almost a year uh

481
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:22,880
and he'll be really

482
00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:25,840
the responsible for the handover uh that

483
00:23:31,029 --> 00:23:28,080
the crew two astronauts would have done

484
00:23:32,789 --> 00:23:31,039
if they were to uh um have the crew

485
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:32,799
three astronauts arrive before them but

486
00:23:35,350 --> 00:23:34,080
again we've we've mentioned this a

487
00:23:37,510 --> 00:23:35,360
couple of times andy throughout our

488
00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:37,520
coverage part of the reason why we're

489
00:23:42,149 --> 00:23:39,919
executing a de-orbit burn right now

490
00:23:44,070 --> 00:23:42,159
heading for a splashdown off the coast

491
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:44,080
of pensacola is because the weather

492
00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:46,720
looks really really good and weather is

493
00:24:06,149 --> 00:23:47,440
a

494
00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:06,159
well so we might even get some pretty

495
00:24:11,669 --> 00:24:08,720
good views from the wb-57 as well as the

496
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:11,679
ship uh the recovery ship go navigator

497
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:14,080
as the crew is entering um it's it's

498
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:16,240
really just it's too perfect to pass up

499
00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:18,640
yeah and that's really uh sort of the

500
00:24:22,630 --> 00:24:20,000
the um

501
00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:22,640
the story here um we originally planned

502
00:24:27,669 --> 00:24:26,240
to launch crew 3 right prior to crew 2

503
00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:27,679
coming home and they were going to do

504
00:24:31,590 --> 00:24:29,279
the handoff in person at the

505
00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:31,600
international space station whether

506
00:24:36,390 --> 00:24:33,840
wasn't quite cooperating with us

507
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:36,400
halloween weekend uh but again gary you

508
00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:38,960
mentioned this this recovery weather is

509
00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:41,200
too good to pass up right and so um the

510
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:42,880
the teams that have been supporting this

511
00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:43,760
mission

512
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:48,960
this is a testament to their flexibility

513
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:50,640
um to be able to

514
00:24:55,430 --> 00:24:52,400
get this together and make sure that the

515
00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:55,440
crew too can come home safely in the

516
00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:57,440
midst of again this really optimal

517
00:25:02,470 --> 00:25:00,400
weather very very true and and again we

518
00:25:04,230 --> 00:25:02,480
are monitoring the weather and it does

519
00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:04,240
look good out in the gulf coast part of

520
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:06,240
the reason that we're uh landing the

521
00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:08,080
crew right now in the gulf is because

522
00:25:11,350 --> 00:25:09,520
the weather over there looks good and

523
00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:11,360
the reason why we're uh we're gonna wait

524
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:13,360
to launch the crew 3 astronauts no

525
00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:15,360
earlier than november 10th

526
00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:16,799
is because the weather out there is

527
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:18,400
something that we continue to monitor

528
00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:21,279
it's not only the weather out at the

529
00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:22,799
east coast

530
00:25:27,269 --> 00:25:25,120
off the coast of cape canaveral in

531
00:25:28,950 --> 00:25:27,279
florida that we're looking at but really

532
00:25:30,870 --> 00:25:28,960
the weather all along the ascent

533
00:25:32,390 --> 00:25:30,880
corridor has to cooperate as well so

534
00:25:34,149 --> 00:25:32,400
that includes all along the eastern

535
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:34,159
seaboard that includes uh the north

536
00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:36,720
pacific all of that has to look good uh

537
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:40,159
because uh really in any abort scenario

538
00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:42,080
uh you'd be looking at the crew um

539
00:25:46,070 --> 00:25:44,400
escaping from the top of the falcon 9

540
00:25:47,430 --> 00:25:46,080
rocket using those super dracos we were

541
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:47,440
talking about super dracos a little

542
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:49,840
earlier and splashing down anywhere

543
00:25:52,789 --> 00:25:51,360
along the site and so you have to make

544
00:25:54,470 --> 00:25:52,799
sure that the weather is cooperating

545
00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:54,480
really all along the way so it's got to

546
00:25:58,710 --> 00:25:56,480
be the right conditions

547
00:26:00,710 --> 00:25:58,720
yeah there are um

548
00:26:02,950 --> 00:26:00,720
multiple teams that plan for all sorts

549
00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:02,960
of these types of contingencies it is

550
00:26:07,830 --> 00:26:05,200
fantastic when things go well as we've

551
00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:07,840
i've been seeing for a very long time

552
00:26:13,269 --> 00:26:10,400
and and we love that but we want to make

553
00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:13,279
sure that in case um anything were to go

554
00:26:16,789 --> 00:26:15,440
awry we have plans for that and weather

555
00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:16,799
again is one of the things that we need

556
00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:23,750
so we're about six six minutes away from

557
00:26:28,549 --> 00:26:26,159
right uh finishing this deorbit burn

558
00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:28,559
again this is the last burn for the

559
00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:30,400
dragon vehicle after this we'll close

560
00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:33,360
the nose cone flip the dragon around and

561
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:35,279
uh start to head into the earth's

562
00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:36,480
atmosphere

563
00:26:41,430 --> 00:26:39,520
and um really after this it's really

564
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:41,440
about 30 minutes about 40 30 or 40

565
00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:44,799
minutes until we see the dragon capsule

566
00:26:49,029 --> 00:26:47,360
in the gulf of mexico that's right it's

567
00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:49,039
going to happen very quickly

568
00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:52,000
it is a lot is going to happen in fact

569
00:26:56,549 --> 00:26:54,559
when it comes to the parachutes they are

570
00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:56,559
that sequence is automatic but it

571
00:27:01,590 --> 00:26:59,120
happens seconds from each other the

572
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:01,600
mortars themselves are deployed to uh

573
00:27:07,510 --> 00:27:04,400
release two drogue parachutes that slows

574
00:27:10,149 --> 00:27:07,520
the dragon capsule down from 350 miles

575
00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:10,159
per hour initially those are the the

576
00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:12,400
right after we get outside of the

577
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,520
blackout zone which is uh when the

578
00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:17,520
uh dragon itself is entering through the

579
00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:19,840
atmosphere engulfed in plasma so the

580
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:22,240
communications can't get through but uh

581
00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:23,919
right when we exit out of that we get an

582
00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:25,600
acquisition of signal and are able to

583
00:27:30,789 --> 00:27:28,080
talk to the crew inside dragon again uh

584
00:27:32,789 --> 00:27:30,799
they should be traveling a roughly 350

585
00:27:34,950 --> 00:27:32,799
miles an hour but once we deploy those

586
00:27:37,430 --> 00:27:34,960
drove shoots all of that's going to

587
00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:37,440
really happen at about

588
00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:38,559
7

589
00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:39,760
29

590
00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:46,320
the drogue parachutes will deploy

591
00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:47,679
they'll stay out for a little bit and

592
00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:50,320
then 40 seconds later the mate the four

593
00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:52,720
main parachutes will deploy uh and from

594
00:27:57,190 --> 00:27:55,360
350 miles an hour and with that sequence

595
00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:57,200
that's happening really in the matter of

596
00:28:02,470 --> 00:27:59,360
one minute uh with all of the parachutes

597
00:28:05,430 --> 00:28:02,480
that'll gently slow down the dragon and

598
00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:05,440
its crew down to about 15 miles an hour

599
00:28:08,630 --> 00:28:07,279
yeah and we we mentioned safety we've

600
00:28:10,549 --> 00:28:08,640
been talking about safety throughout

601
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:10,559
this whole broadcast as soon as the

602
00:28:14,149 --> 00:28:12,640
dragon capsule hits the water one of the

603
00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:14,159
first things that happens is the main

604
00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:17,200
shoots get cut and what this means is

605
00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:19,120
today there are really no wins

606
00:28:23,269 --> 00:28:20,880
essentially but

607
00:28:25,029 --> 00:28:23,279
we don't want uh we wouldn't want that

608
00:28:26,149 --> 00:28:25,039
dragon capsule to be pulled by wind in

609
00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:26,159
any direction so we'll cut the

610
00:28:30,789 --> 00:28:28,799
parachutes immediately upon splashdown

611
00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:30,799
and there's a there's a boat that is

612
00:28:34,870 --> 00:28:32,320
part of its main function is to go out

613
00:28:35,669 --> 00:28:34,880
and recover that parachute

614
00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:35,679
that

615
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:37,360
uh cutting of the main parachutes

616
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:39,840
happens automatically on board the

617
00:28:43,990 --> 00:28:41,760
dragon but when we were talking about

618
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,000
some of the physical buttons that the

619
00:28:47,990 --> 00:28:46,320
crew have on their display panel one of

620
00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:48,000
those physical buttons which is really

621
00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:49,520
important to have instead of having it

622
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:50,640
on a touch screen that you have to

623
00:28:55,269 --> 00:28:53,200
navigate to really easy access to a

624
00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:55,279
button that says cut the parachutes if

625
00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:56,640
for whatever reason they want to

626
00:29:01,029 --> 00:28:58,000
automatically do it themselves which

627
00:29:02,870 --> 00:29:01,039
we've seen on some of the uh previous

628
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:02,880
crude missions they did automatically

629
00:29:06,630 --> 00:29:04,320
cut

630
00:29:09,430 --> 00:29:06,640
they do have the ability to do so

631
00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:09,440
and these parachutes have been tested uh

632
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:11,679
hundreds of times

633
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:13,760
and so uh you know the design the

634
00:29:18,230 --> 00:29:15,840
parachutes can be tricky but uh you know

635
00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:18,240
we've we've used these parachutes as a

636
00:29:22,070 --> 00:29:20,399
part of all the cargo missions prior to

637
00:29:27,190 --> 00:29:22,080
the upgraded dragon and now we're using

638
00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:27,200
them um as part of this operations too

639
00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:30,640
as you mentioned uh as the right after

640
00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:33,120
the uh dragon splashes down in the ocean

641
00:29:37,350 --> 00:29:35,440
there are two what are called fast boats

642
00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:37,360
that will uh that are part of the uh

643
00:29:40,870 --> 00:29:39,360
prime recovery team that'll immediately

644
00:29:43,029 --> 00:29:40,880
go out to

645
00:29:44,789 --> 00:29:43,039
the capsule

646
00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:44,799
one of the boats will go right over to

647
00:29:47,510 --> 00:29:46,399
the capsule and start out to start

648
00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:47,520
outfitting it

649
00:29:51,269 --> 00:29:49,919
with some rigging equipment they'll do a

650
00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:51,279
sniff check to make sure there are no

651
00:29:55,029 --> 00:29:53,279
hazardous gases that are leaking from

652
00:29:57,190 --> 00:29:55,039
the spacecraft make sure it's safe for

653
00:29:59,510 --> 00:29:57,200
the next uh series of events where the

654
00:30:01,830 --> 00:29:59,520
go navigators uh recovery ship will go

655
00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:01,840
out and hoist it onto the ship itself

656
00:30:05,350 --> 00:30:03,600
but you were mentioning the other fast

657
00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:05,360
boat it serves as a backup to that boat

658
00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:07,440
just in case it were you know some motor

659
00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:09,120
function were to happen and it can't get

660
00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:11,360
out to the capsule in time but uh it's

661
00:30:15,029 --> 00:30:13,039
prime function if the other boat is

662
00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:15,039
looking pretty good uh is to go collect

663
00:30:22,710 --> 00:30:21,029
so again about about two minutes two

664
00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:22,720
minutes

665
00:30:25,510 --> 00:30:24,480
for the end of the final burn

666
00:30:26,630 --> 00:30:25,520
um

667
00:30:28,549 --> 00:30:26,640
the dragon

668
00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:28,559
and the crew have gone through

669
00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:29,840
um

670
00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:38,240
nearing the end of sort of the marathon

671
00:30:42,549 --> 00:30:40,559
here uh so this must be exciting for the

672
00:30:44,549 --> 00:30:42,559
crew uh on board the dragon as well

673
00:30:46,230 --> 00:30:44,559
knowing that uh this is the last burn

674
00:30:48,310 --> 00:30:46,240
that they're gonna feel uh last burn

675
00:30:50,870 --> 00:30:48,320
that they're gonna hear and uh after

676
00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:50,880
this it's really going to be

677
00:30:55,669 --> 00:30:52,880
a smooth smooth sailing

678
00:30:57,750 --> 00:30:55,679
so to speak uh into the atlantic ocean

679
00:30:59,509 --> 00:30:57,760
or into the gulf of mexico

680
00:31:02,630 --> 00:30:59,519
so the words we're waiting to hear right

681
00:31:04,149 --> 00:31:02,640
now are nominal de-orbit burn

682
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:04,159
those are very important words that will

683
00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:06,960
be uh sent over to the crew

684
00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:09,039
right now the nose cone has been opened

685
00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:11,519
to expose the four forward bulkhead

686
00:31:15,029 --> 00:31:12,880
dracos that have been doing a lot of the

687
00:31:17,669 --> 00:31:15,039
hefty heavy lifting with this the orbit

688
00:31:19,029 --> 00:31:17,679
burn uh pointing straight at the

689
00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:19,039
velocity

690
00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:21,919
bar it's a retro firing of the of the

691
00:31:27,269 --> 00:31:24,640
thrusters to slow the vehicle down and

692
00:31:29,029 --> 00:31:27,279
really ultimately make contact with the

693
00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:29,039
atmosphere that's the point of this burn

694
00:31:32,149 --> 00:31:30,000
but

695
00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:32,159
as long as we have a good burn uh it'll

696
00:31:36,389 --> 00:31:34,080
be just a matter of a couple of minutes

697
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:36,399
it's it's a very quick sequence to close

698
00:31:40,230 --> 00:31:38,080
the nose cone it's a very important

699
00:31:42,710 --> 00:31:40,240
function uh to close the nose cone it

700
00:31:44,630 --> 00:31:42,720
protects the forward bulkhead dracos uh

701
00:31:46,549 --> 00:31:44,640
it protects the docking mechanism that

702
00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:46,559
it's been that's been used to keep

703
00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,000
dragon attached to the international

704
00:31:51,669 --> 00:31:50,320
space station for six months it protects

705
00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:51,679
some of the guidance and navigation

706
00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:54,000
equipment of course this vehicle is uh

707
00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:55,840
reusable we're seeing it now this is a

708
00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:57,360
reused vehicle

709
00:32:01,830 --> 00:31:59,760
it was used originally on on the demo2

710
00:32:03,909 --> 00:32:01,840
mission uh so all critical functions

711
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:03,919
that need to be protected before it

712
00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:06,960
slews to the position uh where the heat

713
00:32:10,149 --> 00:32:08,320
shield is pointed right towards the

714
00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:10,159
earth and does the heavy lifting of

715
00:32:15,190 --> 00:32:12,799
protecting the the capsule and of course

716
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:15,200
more importantly the crew inside uh from

717
00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:17,200
the 3 500 degrees fahrenheit that's

718
00:32:21,350 --> 00:32:19,600
going to be experienced as the dragon

719
00:32:24,789 --> 00:32:21,360
capsule enters the earth

720
00:32:28,149 --> 00:32:24,799
as part of the recovery operations

721
00:32:29,590 --> 00:32:28,159
after um

722
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:29,600
dragon do you want to burn complete

723
00:32:36,870 --> 00:32:31,600
performance nominal nose gun closure has

724
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,830
copy all good the orbit burn

725
00:32:47,029 --> 00:32:43,909
that is the news that we were looking

726
00:32:50,149 --> 00:32:47,039
for andy uh nominal de-orbit burn uh

727
00:32:51,909 --> 00:32:50,159
that means that that burn did its job uh

728
00:32:53,830 --> 00:32:51,919
you see immediately we're going into

729
00:32:55,909 --> 00:32:53,840
closing the nose cone so now that it's

730
00:32:57,909 --> 00:32:55,919
done its job uh the forward bulkhead

731
00:33:00,230 --> 00:32:57,919
dracos will not be fired again we're

732
00:33:02,310 --> 00:33:00,240
gonna close uh the nose cone and protect

733
00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:02,320
some of those critical equipment uh and

734
00:33:07,110 --> 00:33:04,640
get the dragon oriented in a position

735
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:07,120
ready for entry yeah so it takes a

736
00:33:11,909 --> 00:33:09,039
couple of minutes for the nose going to

737
00:33:13,430 --> 00:33:11,919
close it doesn't just swing shut um and

738
00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:13,440
so it'll be closed and then there will

739
00:33:16,070 --> 00:33:14,960
be latches that will secure it into

740
00:33:17,350 --> 00:33:16,080
position

741
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,360
from there

742
00:33:21,110 --> 00:33:19,600
we will

743
00:33:23,029 --> 00:33:21,120
slew the dragon

744
00:33:24,470 --> 00:33:23,039
uh

745
00:33:25,909 --> 00:33:24,480
into his orientation to make sure that

746
00:33:28,149 --> 00:33:25,919
the heat shields are

747
00:33:29,909 --> 00:33:28,159
are facing forward so to speak um they

748
00:33:31,669 --> 00:33:29,919
will the heat shield will be what meets

749
00:33:33,909 --> 00:33:31,679
the earth's atmosphere first it'll

750
00:33:37,029 --> 00:33:33,919
absorb and dissipate all the heat upon

751
00:33:38,950 --> 00:33:37,039
re-entry and then um you know we'll

752
00:33:42,149 --> 00:33:38,960
enter our we'll go through the the the

753
00:33:43,830 --> 00:33:42,159
blackout period uh uh where we won't

754
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:43,840
have comms

755
00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:46,080
to uh from dragon to ground or direct or

756
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:47,840
ground to dragon and then after that

757
00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:51,039
we'll deploy our parachutes and land

758
00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:53,039
so the atmosphere is going to do a lot

759
00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:54,720
of the work here to slow the vehicle

760
00:33:57,750 --> 00:33:56,000
down we're still

761
00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:57,760
close to orbital velocity of course

762
00:34:01,110 --> 00:33:59,440
we're a little bit slower because we're

763
00:34:03,509 --> 00:34:01,120
dropping in altitude and that is

764
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:03,519
purposeful uh the dragon and the crew

765
00:34:07,990 --> 00:34:05,760
inside is now committed to enter the

766
00:34:10,389 --> 00:34:08,000
earth's atmosphere and splash down off

767
00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:10,399
the coast of pensacola florida uh dragon

768
00:34:14,149 --> 00:34:12,240
systems look good the crew is uh

769
00:34:15,750 --> 00:34:14,159
monitoring every step of the way and

770
00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:15,760
checking in and saying that they are

771
00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:17,520
following closely everything's looking

772
00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:18,960
good on that end and of course the

773
00:34:22,389 --> 00:34:21,200
weather is is cooperating which is super

774
00:34:24,950 --> 00:34:22,399
essential

775
00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:24,960
so we're about to uh enter into the

776
00:34:29,430 --> 00:34:27,200
atmosphere and slow down all the way

777
00:34:31,030 --> 00:34:29,440
down to 350 miles per hour it's going to

778
00:34:32,950 --> 00:34:31,040
be a number of minutes

779
00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:32,960
for that procedure to take place it

780
00:34:36,790 --> 00:34:35,119
takes about seven minutes uh from the

781
00:34:39,589 --> 00:34:36,800
time that we enter into the earth's

782
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:39,599
atmosphere uh and lose the signal with

783
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:41,760
the crew so don't worry um that is

784
00:34:45,030 --> 00:34:43,760
normal we expect a loss of signal for

785
00:34:46,310 --> 00:34:45,040
about seven minutes uh the

786
00:34:49,270 --> 00:34:46,320
communications can't get through the

787
00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:49,280
plasma that's engulfing uh the dragon on

788
00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:52,079
its way uh in uh but it should be about

789
00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:53,919
a seven minute period as predicted right

790
00:34:57,670 --> 00:34:55,679
so there may be a little extra lag time

791
00:34:59,990 --> 00:34:57,680
in there just depending on a series of

792
00:35:01,910 --> 00:35:00,000
events but uh they'll be calling to the

793
00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:01,920
crew at the end of that anticipated

794
00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:04,880
period to check in and and hear how that

795
00:35:08,470 --> 00:35:06,480
sequence went and make sure everything

796
00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:08,480
is good for the next series of automatic

797
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:10,079
events which is the deployment of the

798
00:35:14,310 --> 00:35:12,160
parachutes and eventual splashdown yeah

799
00:35:16,310 --> 00:35:14,320
it is important to note that uh prior to

800
00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:16,320
the deorbit sequence we did hear

801
00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:18,720
communications from the crew to the uh

802
00:35:23,270 --> 00:35:21,040
to the core here they were updated on

803
00:35:25,109 --> 00:35:23,280
timelines so the crew

804
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:25,119
onboard dragon knows exactly what to

805
00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:27,200
expect too they know when the blackout

806
00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:29,599
period is going to happen they know when

807
00:35:34,230 --> 00:35:31,440
approximately the sigma is going to be

808
00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:34,240
coming back and we typically hear pings

809
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:36,240
sometimes from dragon to ground or and

810
00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:38,880
sometimes from ground to dragon

811
00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:42,079
waiting for the acquisition of signal

812
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:44,160
so there are no surprises every every

813
00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:45,520
really every every party that's

814
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:47,760
supporting this mission is well aware of

815
00:35:52,069 --> 00:35:50,640
what is about to happen

816
00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:52,079
so it's going to be a number of minutes

817
00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:54,320
until we actually get into the entry

818
00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:56,640
sequence uh right now we're coming up at

819
00:36:03,030 --> 00:35:59,839
about 7 p.m pacific time uh which is 10

820
00:36:05,589 --> 00:36:03,040
p.m uh eastern standard time it's about

821
00:36:07,349 --> 00:36:05,599
uh roughly another 20 minutes uh until

822
00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:07,359
we actually get into that entry

823
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:10,160
interface um uh so so it's still some

824
00:36:14,710 --> 00:36:12,240
time we we are right now in a good

825
00:36:17,990 --> 00:36:14,720
position with the uh deorbit burn

826
00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:18,000
sequence initiated and uh it puts uh

827
00:36:23,349 --> 00:36:20,079
dragon in an orientation getting ready

828
00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:23,359
uh we can see it slewing now uh uh to

829
00:36:27,670 --> 00:36:26,320
get ready for that entry prep

830
00:36:29,190 --> 00:36:27,680
really with the heat shield pointed

831
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,200
towards the earth so we're in the final

832
00:36:32,230 --> 00:36:30,960
stretch here andy it's uh it's really

833
00:36:34,630 --> 00:36:32,240
happening

834
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:34,640
so we should get confirmation um

835
00:36:39,270 --> 00:36:37,839
uh if not already that the nosecone

836
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:39,280
has closed and we are getting

837
00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:41,680
confirmation nose cone is closed and so

838
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:43,440
again we are slowing to the right

839
00:36:48,710 --> 00:36:46,160
orientation and um during this uh for

840
00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:48,720
the next 19 minutes or so dragon's

841
00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:51,760
altitude is decreasing uh and then once

842
00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:53,680
we get low enough and start building

843
00:36:58,069 --> 00:36:55,599
that friction uh we will enter the

844
00:37:00,870 --> 00:36:58,079
blackout communication so around 7

845
00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:00,880
uh 19 p.m pacific time is when we're

846
00:37:05,430 --> 00:37:03,119
expecting the blackout communications

847
00:37:08,150 --> 00:37:05,440
period

848
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:08,160
so as we begin the second half of entry

849
00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:11,280
dragon is now beginning to flush nitrox

850
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:13,680
into the cabin and continuing to top off

851
00:37:18,870 --> 00:37:16,240
shane magenaki and tomas suits with cool

852
00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:18,880
air again this is what we what will

853
00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:20,720
allow the cabin temperature to remain

854
00:37:25,750 --> 00:37:22,880
comfortable while external temperatures

855
00:37:27,829 --> 00:37:25,760
reach 3 500 degrees fahrenheit that heat

856
00:37:30,390 --> 00:37:27,839
shield is pointed forward leading the

857
00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:30,400
capsule to that landing site

858
00:37:33,910 --> 00:37:32,560
yes we are targeting the primary site

859
00:37:36,470 --> 00:37:33,920
today

860
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:36,480
tonight off the coast of pensacola

861
00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:37,599
florida

862
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:38,560
um

863
00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:40,720
so very exciting under 30 minutes or

864
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:44,160
just over 30 minutes uh 7 33 p.m pacific

865
00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:46,640
time is our targeted uh splashdown time

866
00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:48,480
right we did hear that go

867
00:37:51,910 --> 00:37:49,920
call up to the crew that we're still

868
00:37:54,150 --> 00:37:51,920
targeting that same exact site even with

869
00:37:57,589 --> 00:37:54,160
a slight shifts in some of the other uh

870
00:37:59,349 --> 00:37:57,599
events uh uh particularly with the uh um

871
00:38:00,870 --> 00:37:59,359
loss and acquisition of signal that

872
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:00,880
seven minute blackout period that we

873
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:03,040
were talking about but uh all in all

874
00:38:07,910 --> 00:38:04,960
we're still looking at that same time

875
00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:07,920
for uh splashing down uh in the gulf of

876
00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:14,790
so stay with us we're gonna continue to

877
00:38:19,589 --> 00:38:16,560
provide coverage through this very

878
00:38:21,270 --> 00:38:19,599
dynamic sequence we will even after

879
00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:21,280
splashdown we're going to remain on air

880
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:22,800
we want to make sure that the crew is

881
00:38:27,109 --> 00:38:24,800
safe once they splash down off the gulf

882
00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:27,119
of mexico so once they splash down it

883
00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:28,960
takes less than an hour

884
00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:29,680
in

885
00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:34,480
the boat uh or to go out to the capsule

886
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:37,200
rather and outfit it to get onto the

887
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:38,960
dragon nest which is on the recovery

888
00:38:43,670 --> 00:38:41,200
ship and bring it in for the hatch

889
00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:43,680
opening side hatch and recovering the

890
00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:45,599
the crew inside we'll continue to

891
00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:48,160
provide coverage as each of the four

892
00:38:52,470 --> 00:38:50,800
astronauts egress or exit from the

893
00:38:55,270 --> 00:38:52,480
capsule itself

894
00:38:57,349 --> 00:38:55,280
we hopefully will get some views of them

895
00:38:59,589 --> 00:38:57,359
maybe pumping fists as long as they're

896
00:39:01,349 --> 00:38:59,599
feeling healthy of course

897
00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:01,359
we'll get some views of them on the

898
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:03,680
recovery ship and after that we are

899
00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:05,520
looking forward to talking to some

900
00:39:10,150 --> 00:39:07,280
leadership from some of the respective

901
00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:10,160
agencies uh we're expecting to have uh

902
00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,240
some representatives from nasa the

903
00:39:16,950 --> 00:39:14,640
european space agency and the japanese

904
00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:16,960
uh the japan aerospace exploration

905
00:39:21,510 --> 00:39:19,280
agency call in to provide some final

906
00:39:23,430 --> 00:39:21,520
comments now that we have we can declare

907
00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:23,440
a mission success all coming up very

908
00:39:27,109 --> 00:39:25,040
soon but first we have to pay attention

909
00:39:28,870 --> 00:39:27,119
of course on the mission itself making

910
00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:28,880
sure that these crew members

911
00:40:13,589 --> 00:39:31,440
are about to return to homes

912
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:19,990
dragon nose cone secure for entry

913
00:40:20,000 --> 00:45:32,150
endeavor copies no secured

914
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:41,020
endeavor spacex for entry brief

915
00:45:44,950 --> 00:45:43,109
[Applause]

916
00:45:46,790 --> 00:45:44,960
shane things are looking really good no

917
00:45:48,309 --> 00:45:46,800
delta is a timeline

918
00:45:50,230 --> 00:45:48,319
vehicle is nominal we're tracking no

919
00:45:52,390 --> 00:45:50,240
issues for entry

920
00:45:55,109 --> 00:45:52,400
entry targeting is also nominal note

921
00:45:56,950 --> 00:45:55,119
that you may see the landing site

922
00:45:58,710 --> 00:45:56,960
slightly off in the world view

923
00:46:00,470 --> 00:45:58,720
that is expected and nominal due to

924
00:46:02,710 --> 00:46:00,480
entry purge and entry guidance will

925
00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:02,720
clean that up so that's nominal

926
00:46:06,230 --> 00:46:04,400
there's no doubt as to whether the

927
00:46:07,829 --> 00:46:06,240
recovery fast boats have been launched

928
00:46:12,870 --> 00:46:07,839
and they're awaiting your arrival for

929
00:46:17,589 --> 00:46:14,950
great news all around thanks chris and

930
00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:17,599
we caught you all

931
00:46:37,270 --> 00:46:34,309
further affirmation that everything

932
00:46:39,829 --> 00:46:37,280
continues to look good uh we did have a

933
00:46:41,430 --> 00:46:39,839
successful de-orbit burn and so we're

934
00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:41,440
just really in a waiting period right

935
00:46:47,190 --> 00:46:44,560
now before we begin that entry uh coming

936
00:46:49,349 --> 00:46:47,200
up in approximately 10 minutes uh when

937
00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:49,359
the crew themselves will enter into the

938
00:46:53,670 --> 00:46:52,160
earth's atmosphere uh and uh the heat

939
00:46:56,309 --> 00:46:53,680
shield being pointed in the right

940
00:46:58,470 --> 00:46:56,319
direction uh and the vehicle itself will

941
00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:58,480
slow down uh over the course of about

942
00:47:02,390 --> 00:47:00,319
seven minutes uh until they get on the

943
00:47:04,390 --> 00:47:02,400
other side into the earth's atmosphere

944
00:47:06,630 --> 00:47:04,400
and we can talk to them again uh slowing

945
00:47:08,790 --> 00:47:06,640
down from 17 000 miles an hour to about

946
00:47:10,950 --> 00:47:08,800
350 miles an hour that briefing was

947
00:47:13,109 --> 00:47:10,960
spectacular andy it sounds like the

948
00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:13,119
weather is cooperating

949
00:47:17,430 --> 00:47:15,520
and all of the recovery teams are in

950
00:47:19,109 --> 00:47:17,440
place in fact the fast boats that we

951
00:47:21,910 --> 00:47:19,119
were talking about earlier have already

952
00:47:24,150 --> 00:47:21,920
deployed uh we are getting ready uh to

953
00:47:26,710 --> 00:47:24,160
bring these guys home yeah the really no

954
00:47:28,870 --> 00:47:26,720
changes in what

955
00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:28,880
we were expecting or what we heard prior

956
00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:30,720
to the deorbit sequence so

957
00:47:34,150 --> 00:47:32,319
in that sense everything was great

958
00:47:36,309 --> 00:47:34,160
leading up to the deorbit sequence and

959
00:47:38,630 --> 00:47:36,319
everything remains great right now for

960
00:47:40,549 --> 00:47:38,640
uh cruise flash down and recovery so

961
00:47:43,990 --> 00:47:40,559
again uh we've been hearing nothing but

962
00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:44,000
good news uh all broadcasts uh we are

963
00:47:49,910 --> 00:47:47,200
about five minutes away from slewing of

964
00:47:52,390 --> 00:47:49,920
the dragon to orient it correctly uh and

965
00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:52,400
then a few minutes after that from

966
00:47:55,750 --> 00:47:54,000
um

967
00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:55,760
anticipated loss of signal again that

968
00:48:00,150 --> 00:47:58,240
communications blackout period due to

969
00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:00,160
the plasma buildup

970
00:48:07,430 --> 00:48:05,750
so a lot's gonna happen let's go through

971
00:48:09,589 --> 00:48:07,440
the sequence of events here while we

972
00:48:11,829 --> 00:48:09,599
have a little bit of time uh as we're

973
00:48:14,470 --> 00:48:11,839
waiting for that slew of course and then

974
00:48:17,190 --> 00:48:14,480
of course the the entry sequence itself

975
00:48:19,270 --> 00:48:17,200
um once the dragon slews or orients

976
00:48:20,710 --> 00:48:19,280
itself right in the precise position

977
00:48:22,150 --> 00:48:20,720
where the

978
00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:22,160
heat shield is pointed in the right

979
00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:24,319
direction uh andy as you mentioned we're

980
00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:26,400
going to enter into a period where we

981
00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:28,400
will lose the signal and that's just

982
00:48:32,150 --> 00:48:30,079
because of the plasma that's building up

983
00:48:34,790 --> 00:48:32,160
on the outside of the spacecraft

984
00:48:36,549 --> 00:48:34,800
communications can't get through so uh

985
00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:36,559
the plasma is building up because we are

986
00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:39,359
using the atmosphere itself to slow us

987
00:48:45,109 --> 00:48:42,240
down we're going about 17 000 uh miles

988
00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:45,119
an hour now and we need to slow down um

989
00:48:50,230 --> 00:48:47,440
uh quite a bit uh eventually to get us

990
00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:50,240
to about 15 miles an hour so the bulk of

991
00:48:53,910 --> 00:48:52,240
that will happen uh during the entry

992
00:48:56,069 --> 00:48:53,920
into earth's atmosphere it'll it'll

993
00:48:56,750 --> 00:48:56,079
shave off from 17 000 miles an hour to

994
00:49:00,150 --> 00:48:56,760
about

995
00:49:01,829 --> 00:49:00,160
350 miles an hour uh from there there

996
00:49:04,470 --> 00:49:01,839
will be a sequence of parachute

997
00:49:06,549 --> 00:49:04,480
deployments first with the drogue shoots

998
00:49:09,270 --> 00:49:06,559
uh that'll perform the initial slowdown

999
00:49:12,069 --> 00:49:09,280
from 350 miles an hour to i think it was

1000
00:49:13,430 --> 00:49:12,079
you said about 120 miles an hour

1001
00:49:15,270 --> 00:49:13,440
and then from there it's only a matter

1002
00:49:17,430 --> 00:49:15,280
of seconds about 40 seconds after drove

1003
00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:17,440
shoot deploy that those will be

1004
00:49:23,430 --> 00:49:20,240
cut off and the four main parachutes

1005
00:49:26,309 --> 00:49:23,440
will deploy uh from the dragon itself

1006
00:49:29,349 --> 00:49:26,319
slowing it down to about 15 miles an

1007
00:49:32,549 --> 00:49:29,359
hour we are aiming right on time for a

1008
00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:32,559
glass like uh i've been we've heard lake

1009
00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:36,000
i've i've heard the word pool uh um uh

1010
00:49:40,549 --> 00:49:38,000
wave conditions uh out at pensacola

1011
00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:40,559
florida look absolutely pristine so so

1012
00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:42,000
things are looking pretty good for us so

1013
00:49:46,309 --> 00:49:44,400
far so after splashdown we just heard

1014
00:49:48,390 --> 00:49:46,319
that the fastboats are on their way to

1015
00:49:51,750 --> 00:49:48,400
the recovery site um there are two of

1016
00:49:54,069 --> 00:49:51,760
them uh the first fastboat will

1017
00:49:56,230 --> 00:49:54,079
approach the dragon capsule that's in

1018
00:49:58,230 --> 00:49:56,240
the water and do a couple of things

1019
00:50:01,190 --> 00:49:58,240
really a lot of safety checks to make

1020
00:50:03,030 --> 00:50:01,200
sure there isn't any ordinances or

1021
00:50:04,870 --> 00:50:03,040
any type of

1022
00:50:06,549 --> 00:50:04,880
chemicals in the air they'll also do a

1023
00:50:08,150 --> 00:50:06,559
vehicle integrity check to make sure

1024
00:50:10,069 --> 00:50:08,160
things are looking great on the vehicle

1025
00:50:11,589 --> 00:50:10,079
and then give the go for

1026
00:50:13,990 --> 00:50:11,599
the rest of the recovery team to

1027
00:50:16,309 --> 00:50:14,000
approach the vehicle the other recovery

1028
00:50:20,309 --> 00:50:16,319
vessel um as long as that first fast

1029
00:50:21,109 --> 00:50:20,319
boat um is is able to do its job the

1030
00:50:23,190 --> 00:50:21,119
other

1031
00:50:25,270 --> 00:50:23,200
fast boat will go ahead and recover the

1032
00:50:27,910 --> 00:50:25,280
main shoot that's in the water

1033
00:50:30,549 --> 00:50:27,920
if the first fast boat for whatever

1034
00:50:32,790 --> 00:50:30,559
reason motor failure uh

1035
00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:32,800
who knows cannot do their job it serves

1036
00:50:37,430 --> 00:50:35,599
as a redundant uh vehicle

1037
00:50:39,910 --> 00:50:37,440
from there um a

1038
00:50:42,470 --> 00:50:39,920
a rigger who's typically

1039
00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:42,480
approaches the vehicle on a jet ski will

1040
00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:44,480
approach the vehicle and actually

1041
00:50:48,630 --> 00:50:46,319
physically climb up on top of the dragon

1042
00:50:50,630 --> 00:50:48,640
capsule they carry with them a lot of

1043
00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:50,640
hardware a lot of hoisting equipment

1044
00:50:54,150 --> 00:50:51,920
that they'll need to attach to the

1045
00:50:56,630 --> 00:50:54,160
capsule and this is really to prepare

1046
00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:56,640
the vehicle to be again lifted out of

1047
00:51:02,549 --> 00:50:59,040
the water there is a larger

1048
00:51:03,990 --> 00:51:02,559
recovery vessel that has a um a

1049
00:51:06,549 --> 00:51:04,000
sort of hoisting

1050
00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:06,559
a crane of sorts on the back of it and

1051
00:51:12,230 --> 00:51:09,760
there's a platform or nest um that the

1052
00:51:14,790 --> 00:51:12,240
recovery vessel will uh hoist the the

1053
00:51:17,589 --> 00:51:14,800
dragon capsule out of the water place it

1054
00:51:19,829 --> 00:51:17,599
on the nest secure it in place from

1055
00:51:21,990 --> 00:51:19,839
there a couple more checks will happen

1056
00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:22,000
and then we can finally get to see the

1057
00:51:27,510 --> 00:51:24,720
crew egress uh the dragon capsule that's

1058
00:51:29,510 --> 00:51:27,520
right the nest itself moves a little bit

1059
00:51:41,510 --> 00:51:29,520
further into spacex for crew entry

1060
00:51:47,109 --> 00:51:43,430
hey spacex our tablets are secured the

1061
00:51:48,950 --> 00:51:47,119
trains are tightened visors are down

1062
00:51:50,549 --> 00:51:48,960
copy all thank you approximately four

1063
00:51:52,790 --> 00:51:50,559
minutes three zero seconds until

1064
00:51:59,030 --> 00:51:52,800
anticipated calm blackout we'll see you

1065
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:05,510
coffee zero three three six

1066
00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:09,030
four minutes three zero seconds takes us

1067
00:52:11,430 --> 00:52:09,760
to

1068
00:52:17,670 --> 00:52:11,440
7 20

1069
00:52:19,510 --> 00:52:17,680
standard time 8 20 p.m eastern

1070
00:52:21,030 --> 00:52:19,520
so that's uh the calm blackout that we

1071
00:52:22,470 --> 00:52:21,040
were talking about it's a seven minute

1072
00:52:24,470 --> 00:52:22,480
period where

1073
00:52:26,309 --> 00:52:24,480
we're really in the atmosphere at that

1074
00:52:28,950 --> 00:52:26,319
point the heat shield is doing its job

1075
00:52:30,549 --> 00:52:28,960
of dissipating the 3 500 degrees of heat

1076
00:52:32,710 --> 00:52:30,559
that's surrounding the vehicle at that

1077
00:52:35,990 --> 00:52:32,720
time and slowing the vehicle down down

1078
00:52:38,790 --> 00:52:36,000
to uh 350 miles an hour so so everything

1079
00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:38,800
is happening right on cue 7 20 p.m is

1080
00:52:43,109 --> 00:52:40,640
when we're expecting that loss of signal

1081
00:52:44,870 --> 00:52:43,119
it is an estimate um so there might be a

1082
00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:44,880
variation of a couple of seconds couple

1083
00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:46,720
of minutes we'll stand by for that seven

1084
00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:48,960
minute period uh so we'll be looking at

1085
00:52:55,670 --> 00:52:53,280
uh approximately 7 20 uh to 7 27. and

1086
00:52:57,750 --> 00:52:55,680
again as we get closer to the end of the

1087
00:53:01,109 --> 00:52:57,760
blackout communications period we will

1088
00:53:02,950 --> 00:53:01,119
be we typically hear um the either

1089
00:53:05,109 --> 00:53:02,960
dragon or ground pinging each other to

1090
00:53:08,630 --> 00:53:05,119
make sure that they do have signal

1091
00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:08,640
acquisition so um again seven minutes um

1092
00:53:13,589 --> 00:53:10,880
and and we'll be with you uh the entire

1093
00:53:16,230 --> 00:53:13,599
way uh for signal acquisition uh shortly

1094
00:53:19,109 --> 00:53:16,240
after that the drove shoots will deploy

1095
00:53:21,750 --> 00:53:19,119
that that happens at about 18 000 feet

1096
00:53:24,790 --> 00:53:21,760
and then at 6 500 feet that's when the

1097
00:53:27,109 --> 00:53:24,800
main shoots deploy so we talked about um

1098
00:53:30,069 --> 00:53:27,119
deployment in terms of speed right but

1099
00:53:32,390 --> 00:53:30,079
um there are sensors on the dragon

1100
00:53:34,790 --> 00:53:32,400
vehicle that detects both velocity and

1101
00:53:37,190 --> 00:53:34,800
pressure and they know basically exactly

1102
00:53:40,309 --> 00:53:37,200
when to deploy um so again the dragon

1103
00:53:42,710 --> 00:53:40,319
vehicle super intelligent and uh uh

1104
00:53:44,790 --> 00:53:42,720
basically pilots itself um that's why

1105
00:53:46,390 --> 00:53:44,800
even through this blackout period the

1106
00:53:48,630 --> 00:53:46,400
dragon knows where it's at it knows

1107
00:53:51,030 --> 00:53:48,640
where it needs to go uh so the crew is

1108
00:53:52,870 --> 00:53:51,040
is in good hands

1109
00:53:55,910 --> 00:53:52,880
an automatic flight all the way it

1110
00:53:58,230 --> 00:53:55,920
really started about eight hours ago

1111
00:53:59,990 --> 00:53:58,240
when the uh dragon itself more than

1112
00:54:01,589 --> 00:54:00,000
eight hours ago at this point undocked

1113
00:54:02,950 --> 00:54:01,599
from the international space station the

1114
00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:02,960
zenith port

1115
00:54:06,790 --> 00:54:05,280
and backed up to about 220 meters an

1116
00:54:09,030 --> 00:54:06,800
automatic procedure

1117
00:54:10,790 --> 00:54:09,040
followed by an automatic fly around in

1118
00:54:12,870 --> 00:54:10,800
fact the crew were really hands off

1119
00:54:15,109 --> 00:54:12,880
throughout that whole period uh the

1120
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:15,119
commander uh shane kimbrough and pilot

1121
00:54:19,109 --> 00:54:16,880
megan macarthur were in their seats

1122
00:54:21,190 --> 00:54:19,119
monitoring the entire procedure while

1123
00:54:22,390 --> 00:54:21,200
tamatha sk was at the forward window

1124
00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:22,400
that was pointed right at the

1125
00:54:25,910 --> 00:54:23,920
international space station taking

1126
00:54:27,829 --> 00:54:25,920
pictures for about an hour and a half as

1127
00:54:29,109 --> 00:54:27,839
it uh circled the international space

1128
00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:29,119
station we got

1129
00:54:33,190 --> 00:54:31,200
awesome pictures of the international

1130
00:54:34,630 --> 00:54:33,200
space station i'm anticipating i haven't

1131
00:54:36,789 --> 00:54:34,640
seen them yet but

1132
00:54:38,390 --> 00:54:36,799
i'm definitely looking forward to them

1133
00:54:40,069 --> 00:54:38,400
all of that was automatic

1134
00:54:42,470 --> 00:54:40,079
and then of course the departure burns

1135
00:54:43,510 --> 00:54:42,480
that got us to break away from the keep

1136
00:54:45,589 --> 00:54:43,520
out sphere

1137
00:54:47,510 --> 00:54:45,599
and the approach ellipsoid uh that

1138
00:54:50,710 --> 00:54:47,520
surround the international space station

1139
00:54:53,030 --> 00:54:50,720
and get us into a

1140
00:54:54,870 --> 00:54:53,040
lower altitude about 10 kilometers below

1141
00:54:57,510 --> 00:54:54,880
the station which we were at for quite

1142
00:54:59,750 --> 00:54:57,520
some time uh followed by the departure

1143
00:55:02,069 --> 00:54:59,760
phase burn uh we had a good trunk

1144
00:55:04,069 --> 00:55:02,079
jettison claw or a claw separation trunk

1145
00:55:07,270 --> 00:55:04,079
jettison and then of course the super

1146
00:55:16,470 --> 00:55:07,280
important deorbit burn all right on time

1147
00:55:20,870 --> 00:55:18,309
so we are just

1148
00:55:23,270 --> 00:55:20,880
25 minutes away from splashdown

1149
00:55:24,630 --> 00:55:23,280
and so again we are entering going to be

1150
00:55:27,349 --> 00:55:24,640
entering that black of communication

1151
00:55:29,510 --> 00:55:27,359
spirit but uh once we're on the other

1152
00:55:31,589 --> 00:55:29,520
side so to speak of that things happen

1153
00:55:33,109 --> 00:55:31,599
to very very quickly drove shoots deploy

1154
00:55:36,549 --> 00:55:33,119
main shoots the boy and we're in the

1155
00:55:38,549 --> 00:55:36,559
water just a few minutes later

1156
00:55:41,670 --> 00:55:38,559
and you mentioned gary

1157
00:55:45,030 --> 00:55:41,680
the wb 57 is up in the air it is

1158
00:55:47,349 --> 00:55:45,040
equipped with um

1159
00:55:49,030 --> 00:55:47,359
imaging technology that will be able to

1160
00:55:51,750 --> 00:55:49,040
get pretty much the first views of the

1161
00:55:54,069 --> 00:55:51,760
dragon capsule uh on its return back to

1162
00:55:55,349 --> 00:55:54,079
earth so we do expect to see

1163
00:55:56,870 --> 00:55:55,359
that great footage here in a couple

1164
00:55:59,030 --> 00:55:56,880
minutes as well

1165
00:56:02,230 --> 00:55:59,040
we're about 30 seconds from the

1166
00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:02,240
anticipated loss of signal uh this is

1167
00:56:07,910 --> 00:56:04,480
really the beginning of a seven minute

1168
00:56:09,829 --> 00:56:07,920
period where the crew themselves

1169
00:56:11,349 --> 00:56:09,839
will be okay we're and we're hearing

1170
00:56:12,549 --> 00:56:11,359
from the dragon teams here in mission

1171
00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:12,559
control hawthorne they're starting to

1172
00:56:16,630 --> 00:56:14,880
see some drag so we are now making

1173
00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:16,640
contact with the upper limits of the

1174
00:56:21,430 --> 00:56:18,880
atmosphere right now that's going to be

1175
00:56:23,430 --> 00:56:21,440
slowing the vehicle down quite a bit now

1176
00:56:37,190 --> 00:56:23,440
seconds away from the anticipated loss

1177
00:56:41,910 --> 00:56:39,510
so we're in the expected period now that

1178
00:56:45,030 --> 00:56:41,920
was uh the anticipated loss of signal so

1179
00:56:49,829 --> 00:56:45,040
so the clock starts uh approximately now

1180
00:56:51,589 --> 00:56:49,839
uh until about 7 27 p.m pacific 10 27

1181
00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:51,599
pm eastern

1182
00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:53,440
now in the blackout and entry period and

1183
00:56:56,950 --> 00:56:55,040
we did hear that

1184
00:56:58,309 --> 00:56:56,960
we did hear some initial confirmation

1185
00:57:00,230 --> 00:56:58,319
from the dragon teams here they're

1186
00:57:01,030 --> 00:57:00,240
starting to see some drag

1187
00:57:02,789 --> 00:57:01,040
so

1188
00:57:09,109 --> 00:57:02,799
we'll see the vehicles slow down here

1189
00:57:13,349 --> 00:57:11,030
during this reentry phase the team is

1190
00:57:15,510 --> 00:57:13,359
going to be experiencing

1191
00:57:17,190 --> 00:57:15,520
deceleration right now they're going

1192
00:57:19,670 --> 00:57:17,200
through that as well as when the

1193
00:57:22,309 --> 00:57:19,680
parachutes deploy the seats actually

1194
00:57:24,950 --> 00:57:22,319
will rotate themselves to about 26

1195
00:57:27,829 --> 00:57:24,960
degrees to make sure that the crew is

1196
00:57:30,309 --> 00:57:27,839
oriented properly for when um the shoots

1197
00:57:33,109 --> 00:57:30,319
deploy so uh the the during the downhill

1198
00:57:36,069 --> 00:57:33,119
phase uh very similar uh g-forces

1199
00:57:37,030 --> 00:57:36,079
experience about 3.5 uh to maybe

1200
00:57:38,829 --> 00:57:37,040
anywhere

1201
00:57:42,069 --> 00:57:38,839
to like 4.5

1202
00:57:43,670 --> 00:57:42,079
gs so

1203
00:57:44,950 --> 00:57:43,680
the crew is is definitely going to be

1204
00:57:46,630 --> 00:57:44,960
anticipating that and that's that's

1205
00:57:56,470 --> 00:57:46,640
definitely part of their training and

1206
00:58:01,349 --> 00:57:59,109
so we're standing by uh we did we are in

1207
00:58:03,750 --> 00:58:01,359
the blackout period right now

1208
00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:03,760
this blackout period expected to last an

1209
00:58:08,549 --> 00:58:06,160
additional six or so minutes

1210
00:58:11,030 --> 00:58:08,559
until we hear some of the first calls

1211
00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:11,040
from the crew inside dragon

1212
00:58:17,670 --> 00:58:14,640
now slowing down from 17 000 miles an

1213
00:58:19,589 --> 00:58:17,680
hour to about 350 miles an hour when we

1214
00:58:39,910 --> 00:58:19,599
hear them on the other side of this

1215
00:58:44,069 --> 00:58:41,309
again we have a

1216
00:58:46,470 --> 00:58:44,079
wb-57 high altitude aircraft that has

1217
00:58:48,470 --> 00:58:46,480
deployed with an imaging system on board

1218
00:58:50,710 --> 00:58:48,480
to to get those initial views using

1219
00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:50,720
infrared cameras that are on board so

1220
00:58:54,630 --> 00:58:53,040
even though it is night time as long as

1221
00:58:55,910 --> 00:58:54,640
the vehicle is able to identify and

1222
00:58:57,990 --> 00:58:55,920
track the vehicle which with the

1223
00:58:59,510 --> 00:58:58,000
infrared camera will be easy just look

1224
00:59:00,710 --> 00:58:59,520
for the hot thing that just came from

1225
00:59:02,789 --> 00:59:00,720
the uh

1226
00:59:04,549 --> 00:59:02,799
from the atmosphere uh it'll be able to

1227
00:59:06,230 --> 00:59:04,559
get those initial views and uh

1228
00:59:07,829 --> 00:59:06,240
confirmation of the status of the

1229
00:59:09,430 --> 00:59:07,839
vehicle the very first confirmation

1230
00:59:11,510 --> 00:59:09,440
which is very critical to the teams

1231
00:59:13,030 --> 00:59:11,520
monitoring the operations and of course

1232
00:59:14,950 --> 00:59:13,040
the recovery teams that are out in the

1233
00:59:17,109 --> 00:59:14,960
gulf right now fast boats have been

1234
00:59:20,069 --> 00:59:17,119
deployed so we got confirmation of that

1235
00:59:22,950 --> 00:59:20,079
uh the helicopters have landed on the go

1236
00:59:25,510 --> 00:59:22,960
navigator uh recovery vessel and the

1237
00:59:27,910 --> 00:59:25,520
teams are on the vessel right now uh

1238
00:59:29,349 --> 00:59:27,920
getting ready to uh welcome the crew on

1239
00:59:31,990 --> 00:59:29,359
board once the

1240
00:59:33,750 --> 00:59:32,000
fast boats get out to the capsule and

1241
00:59:35,510 --> 00:59:33,760
rig it with some of the equipment that's

1242
00:59:38,630 --> 00:59:35,520
necessary to hoist it on board using the

1243
00:59:40,470 --> 00:59:38,640
a-frame on the go navigator spacecraft

1244
00:59:42,549 --> 00:59:40,480
we're really in the critical period

1245
00:59:44,470 --> 00:59:42,559
right now just uh eagerly awaiting i

1246
00:59:46,950 --> 00:59:44,480
think all the teams are

1247
00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:46,960
the comms uh at the end uh when we have

1248
00:59:51,430 --> 00:59:49,040
an acquisition of signal from the crew

1249
00:59:54,069 --> 00:59:51,440
uh and some of the first views of the

1250
00:59:55,750 --> 00:59:54,079
spacecraft itself and uh confirmation of

1251
00:59:57,109 --> 00:59:55,760
the next sequence of automatic events

1252
00:59:58,390 --> 00:59:57,119
which are the deployment of the

1253
00:59:59,910 --> 00:59:58,400
parachutes

1254
01:00:02,390 --> 00:59:59,920
yeah the earth's atmosphere certainly

1255
01:00:04,870 --> 01:00:02,400
does make it easier for the wb-57 to

1256
01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:04,880
spot the hot thing it is uh

1257
01:00:09,030 --> 01:00:07,680
excess of 3000 degrees fahrenheit so it

1258
01:00:10,710 --> 01:00:09,040
should be able to spot it in the sky

1259
01:00:13,109 --> 01:00:10,720
there should be nothing else like it

1260
01:00:15,589 --> 01:00:13,119
right at this time uh we're again a

1261
01:00:18,069 --> 01:00:15,599
couple minutes away from um

1262
01:00:20,710 --> 01:00:18,079
starting to exit that uh phase where

1263
01:00:24,710 --> 01:00:20,720
we're seeing a lot of plasma and so uh

1264
01:00:26,230 --> 01:00:24,720
we are expecting um pings uh from dragon

1265
01:00:36,789 --> 01:00:26,240
or ground uh to try to get the

1266
01:00:40,549 --> 01:00:39,270
so again i mentioned

1267
01:00:41,910 --> 01:00:40,559
things are going to be happening very

1268
01:00:44,630 --> 01:00:41,920
very quickly as soon as we get out of

1269
01:00:47,109 --> 01:00:44,640
here gary we are under 10 minutes

1270
01:00:49,829 --> 01:00:47,119
until splashdown i cannot wait uh this

1271
01:00:52,390 --> 01:00:49,839
is a very uh dynamic period so we are

1272
01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:52,400
listening very closely uh to all of the

1273
01:00:55,589 --> 01:00:53,839
different sequences of event because as

1274
01:00:57,750 --> 01:00:55,599
you're saying andy a lot is going to

1275
01:01:00,870 --> 01:00:57,760
happen we're more than halfway through

1276
01:01:03,109 --> 01:01:00,880
this expected blackout period uh an

1277
01:01:05,190 --> 01:01:03,119
expected seven minute period of course

1278
01:01:07,190 --> 01:01:05,200
there might be some variation but uh

1279
01:01:09,430 --> 01:01:07,200
we're expecting an acquisition of signal

1280
01:01:11,589 --> 01:01:09,440
and initial communications from the crew

1281
01:01:13,750 --> 01:01:11,599
uh before we see uh

1282
01:01:16,150 --> 01:01:13,760
the deployment of the drogue parachutes

1283
01:01:18,230 --> 01:01:16,160
and and uh and main parachutes there's

1284
01:01:20,069 --> 01:01:18,240
about uh maybe about two minutes

1285
01:01:21,990 --> 01:01:20,079
difference from when we should first

1286
01:01:24,470 --> 01:01:22,000
hear from the crew themselves at about 7

1287
01:01:27,589 --> 01:01:24,480
27 and about 7 29

1288
01:01:32,069 --> 01:01:27,599
pm pacific is when we should see the

1289
01:01:36,870 --> 01:01:34,390
and again i say both of them at 729

1290
01:01:39,349 --> 01:01:36,880
because that's how fast that sequence is

1291
01:01:41,109 --> 01:01:39,359
it's about eight second deployment from

1292
01:01:43,349 --> 01:01:41,119
uh of confirmation of the drogue shoots

1293
01:01:45,349 --> 01:01:43,359
themselves and 40 seconds later the

1294
01:02:03,190 --> 01:01:45,359
shoot the main shoots are out it's very

1295
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:08,549
come here

1296
01:02:13,510 --> 01:02:11,349
so really any any minute now

1297
01:02:15,589 --> 01:02:13,520
we are expecting um anticipated

1298
01:02:17,270 --> 01:02:15,599
acquisition of signal

1299
01:02:18,950 --> 01:02:17,280
uh

1300
01:02:21,990 --> 01:02:18,960
to reconnect that communications line

1301
01:02:25,670 --> 01:02:22,000
between uh the spacecraft and the folks

1302
01:02:30,309 --> 01:02:28,309
from this moment in time about a minute

1303
01:02:32,789 --> 01:02:30,319
left in the anticipated period again

1304
01:02:34,390 --> 01:02:32,799
it's not it's not an exact science

1305
01:02:35,910 --> 01:02:34,400
there might be some variation we might

1306
01:02:37,589 --> 01:02:35,920
hear from them early we might hear from

1307
01:02:38,870 --> 01:02:37,599
them late it just depends on a couple of

1308
01:02:40,470 --> 01:02:38,880
different factors

1309
01:02:42,710 --> 01:02:40,480
but we're all eagerly at the edge of our

1310
01:02:44,870 --> 01:02:42,720
seats right now just uh standing by

1311
01:02:48,230 --> 01:02:44,880
waiting to hear from the crew

1312
01:02:49,829 --> 01:02:48,240
so far things looking good

1313
01:03:00,829 --> 01:02:49,839
and we'll continue to track it as we

1314
01:03:06,789 --> 01:03:03,670
period getting wb views

1315
01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:06,799
the first views of crew dragon

1316
01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:09,680
look at that tail

1317
01:03:13,349 --> 01:03:11,839
that's the 3 500 degrees look for the

1318
01:03:14,710 --> 01:03:13,359
hot thing that is the hottest thing in

1319
01:03:16,789 --> 01:03:14,720
the sky right now

1320
01:03:18,390 --> 01:03:16,799
uh that is such a it's it's literally

1321
01:03:19,190 --> 01:03:18,400
lighting up the stepper spacex come

1322
01:03:31,109 --> 01:03:19,200
check

1323
01:03:34,309 --> 01:03:32,630
and dragon we've got you expect

1324
01:03:49,910 --> 01:03:34,319
automated parachute deployment and we

1325
01:03:54,630 --> 01:03:52,230
wonderful to hear from the crew on the

1326
01:03:56,950 --> 01:03:54,640
other side of the blackout period the wb

1327
01:03:59,750 --> 01:03:56,960
57 high altitude aircraft providing that

1328
01:04:01,910 --> 01:03:59,760
thermal imaging we saw the tail of the

1329
01:04:04,230 --> 01:04:01,920
entry of the vehicle itself absolutely

1330
01:04:09,270 --> 01:04:04,240
beautiful gps converge expect nominal

1331
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:14,390
tapping gps

1332
01:04:18,549 --> 01:04:16,069
so again nominal altitude for drove

1333
01:04:19,589 --> 01:04:18,559
deployment that happens at about 18 000

1334
01:04:22,309 --> 01:04:19,599
feet

1335
01:04:23,750 --> 01:04:22,319
again good news after good news gary uh

1336
01:04:26,390 --> 01:04:23,760
things are looking great for crew to

1337
01:04:44,630 --> 01:04:26,400
return i am loving this flight that that

1338
01:04:54,870 --> 01:04:46,710
right as anticipated andy dragon brace

1339
01:04:59,270 --> 01:04:57,029
the thermal imaging system on board the

1340
01:05:01,910 --> 01:04:59,280
wb 57 is getting us great views of the

1341
01:05:04,470 --> 01:05:01,920
capsule but should give us equally good

1342
01:05:19,910 --> 01:05:04,480
views of the drogue deployment expected

1343
01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:22,309
the capsule is traveling about 350 miles

1344
01:05:25,589 --> 01:05:24,000
an hour

1345
01:05:45,190 --> 01:05:25,599
and the drogue chute's job is to slow it

1346
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:50,870
drugs deployed confirmation

1347
01:05:55,670 --> 01:05:52,870
that'll slow us down from 350 miles an

1348
01:05:57,430 --> 01:05:55,680
hour to 120 miles an hour

1349
01:06:02,829 --> 01:05:57,440
dragon video on two healthy drugs

1350
01:06:02,839 --> 01:06:08,309
nominal shopping great news

1351
01:06:12,390 --> 01:06:10,789
so in about 30 seconds the main shoots

1352
01:06:13,349 --> 01:06:12,400
are going to come out there are four of

1353
01:06:15,990 --> 01:06:13,359
them

1354
01:06:17,670 --> 01:06:16,000
and they deploy at about 6 500 feet oh

1355
01:06:20,309 --> 01:06:17,680
gary look at this this is an excellent

1356
01:06:23,349 --> 01:06:20,319
view of the drogue parachutes

1357
01:06:26,630 --> 01:06:23,359
there is drug separation

1358
01:06:43,090 --> 01:06:28,069
we'll wait for confirmation of four

1359
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:43,960
[Music]

1360
01:06:58,829 --> 01:06:52,050
[Applause]

1361
01:07:03,910 --> 01:07:01,589
1000 you really can't ask for anything

1362
01:07:05,750 --> 01:07:03,920
better we got confirmation of uh you

1363
01:07:07,990 --> 01:07:05,760
heard on the loops there four healthy

1364
01:07:10,150 --> 01:07:08,000
mains descent rate is nominal that means

1365
01:07:22,630 --> 01:07:10,160
we are expecting splashdown three

1366
01:07:29,670 --> 01:07:25,190
visually you can see one of the mains uh

1367
01:07:35,029 --> 01:07:32,470
but the teams are uh are tracking that

1368
01:07:37,510 --> 01:07:35,039
as a nominal inflation rate uh and the

1369
01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:37,520
descent rate is as expected

1370
01:07:50,309 --> 01:07:40,400
we do have four healthy mains and we are

1371
01:08:12,470 --> 01:07:52,950
600 meters

1372
01:08:14,309 --> 01:08:12,480
those four healthy main parachutes

1373
01:08:16,390 --> 01:08:14,319
attached to the

1374
01:08:19,189 --> 01:08:16,400
dragon spacecraft endeavor as it

1375
01:08:23,590 --> 01:08:19,199
continues to descend

1376
01:08:51,030 --> 01:08:27,269
the rate is as expected 400 meters

1377
01:08:54,630 --> 01:08:53,189
200 embracing

1378
01:09:39,510 --> 01:08:54,640
standing by for confirmation of

1379
01:09:51,430 --> 01:09:41,559
is

1380
01:09:58,870 --> 01:09:53,110
endeavor on behalf of spacex welcome

1381
01:10:05,030 --> 01:10:01,030
hey chris it's great to be back to

1382
01:10:07,189 --> 01:10:05,040
planet earth and thanks to thanks

1383
01:10:09,510 --> 01:10:07,199
and jackson teams uh honored to

to our family

1386
01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:20,709
splashdown confirmed at 7 33 p.m pacific

1387
01:10:26,870 --> 01:10:24,960
10 33 p.m eastern standard time four

1388
01:10:29,590 --> 01:10:26,880
astronauts of crew 2 shane kimbrough

1389
01:10:33,590 --> 01:10:29,600
megan mcarthur aki hoshide and tomah

1390
01:10:35,350 --> 01:10:33,600
pesquet now safely returned to earth

1391
01:10:36,790 --> 01:10:35,360
confirmation that the main parachutes

1392
01:10:38,950 --> 01:10:36,800
have been cut and you can see from the

1393
01:10:40,950 --> 01:10:38,960
thermal imaging camera

1394
01:10:43,669 --> 01:10:40,960
that the fast boats are already on their

1395
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:43,679
way to meet up with crew dragon endeavor

1396
01:10:47,750 --> 01:10:45,710
now splashing down

1397
01:10:49,830 --> 01:10:47,760
[Applause]

1398
01:10:56,950 --> 01:10:49,840
off the coast of florida for the second

1399
01:11:07,990 --> 01:10:58,550
hey shane you're coming in broken but we

1400
01:11:12,950 --> 01:11:10,390
stable one is the configuration that we

1401
01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:12,960
were hoping for stable one means it's in

1402
01:11:33,669 --> 01:11:24,310
the teams have been uh ready and waiting

1403
01:11:33,679 --> 01:11:39,990
and dragon please repeat

1404
01:11:43,830 --> 01:11:41,350
yeah we're going to raise our visors if

1405
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:57,590
hey go for visor raise

1406
01:12:01,030 --> 01:11:59,030
so it looks like the astronauts inside

1407
01:12:03,270 --> 01:12:01,040
are going to be lifting those visors the

1408
01:12:05,189 --> 01:12:03,280
recovery team has been uh waiting about

1409
01:12:06,630 --> 01:12:05,199
three nautical miles away so it is going

1410
01:12:08,470 --> 01:12:06,640
to take them a little bit of time to

1411
01:12:11,990 --> 01:12:08,480
make their way to shane megan aki and

1412
01:12:14,070 --> 01:12:12,000
toma inside of dragon a quick rundown of

1413
01:12:16,550 --> 01:12:14,080
what is to come

1414
01:12:17,830 --> 01:12:16,560
so about a minute and a half after

1415
01:12:19,350 --> 01:12:17,840
splashdown

1416
01:12:22,149 --> 01:12:19,360
mission control here in hawthorne will

1417
01:12:23,910 --> 01:12:22,159
give the go for safe approach about two

1418
01:12:26,070 --> 01:12:23,920
minutes away uh two minutes from uh

1419
01:12:29,189 --> 01:12:26,080
splashdown the approachable begins its

1420
01:12:30,709 --> 01:12:29,199
inspection uh we are expecting that um

1421
01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:30,719
ordnance and hyperclock check to

1422
01:12:36,470 --> 01:12:33,360
complete around the l plus 12 minute

1423
01:12:47,590 --> 01:12:36,480
mark around the l plus 30 minute mark

1424
01:12:52,149 --> 01:12:50,870
endeavor has you loud and clear spacex

1425
01:12:53,350 --> 01:12:52,159
we have it loud and clear as well we

1426
01:13:02,630 --> 01:12:53,360
stopped the boat we have it much better

1427
01:13:07,750 --> 01:13:04,870
so some good comms shacks uh on screen

1428
01:13:09,910 --> 01:13:07,760
right now that is the dragon capsule in

1429
01:13:13,590 --> 01:13:09,920
the background uh

1430
01:13:16,229 --> 01:13:13,600
upright and stable in the gulf of

1431
01:13:18,630 --> 01:13:16,239
uh mexico and uh there's a boat that is

1432
01:13:21,830 --> 01:13:18,640
heading towards it so um

1433
01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:21,840
at about l plus 30 minutes uh the dragon

1434
01:13:27,590 --> 01:13:24,400
rigging will be is expected to complete

1435
01:13:29,189 --> 01:13:27,600
again rigging is where um a an employee

1436
01:13:31,189 --> 01:13:29,199
as part of the recovery team will

1437
01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:31,199
physically climb on top of dragon and

1438
01:13:36,310 --> 01:13:34,080
attach hardware necessary to hoist

1439
01:13:38,070 --> 01:13:36,320
dragon up and out of the water

1440
01:13:40,149 --> 01:13:38,080
recovery ships

1441
01:13:42,950 --> 01:13:40,159
also arrive at this time

1442
01:13:44,470 --> 01:13:42,960
at l plus 38 minutes that's when we're

1443
01:13:47,110 --> 01:13:44,480
expecting to lift dragon out of the

1444
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:47,120
water uh l plus 40 minutes dragon will

1445
01:13:52,229 --> 01:13:49,360
be on deck of the recovery vessel and

1446
01:13:55,189 --> 01:13:52,239
then at l plus 48 minutes we are

1447
01:13:58,470 --> 01:13:55,199
expecting dragon hatch to open and the

1448
01:14:01,669 --> 01:13:58,480
crew to egress after about six months

1449
01:14:03,830 --> 01:14:01,679
in space that is the goal to do this in

1450
01:14:05,910 --> 01:14:03,840
under an hour and it seems like the the

1451
01:14:07,910 --> 01:14:05,920
crew is right where they're supposed to

1452
01:14:11,030 --> 01:14:07,920
be right on time we're getting thermal

1453
01:14:13,110 --> 01:14:11,040
images of uh the uh

1454
01:14:15,990 --> 01:14:13,120
fast boats out near the

1455
01:14:18,470 --> 01:14:16,000
crew dragon endeavor in the uh

1456
01:14:21,910 --> 01:14:18,480
wonderfully smooth waters of the gulf of

1457
01:14:23,510 --> 01:14:21,920
mexico as predicted which is fantastic

1458
01:14:25,669 --> 01:14:23,520
you can see there's two boats that are

1459
01:14:27,590 --> 01:14:25,679
out towards the recovery vessel once we

1460
01:14:29,350 --> 01:14:27,600
get a smoother lock on the vehicle

1461
01:14:31,990 --> 01:14:29,360
itself one of them collecting the

1462
01:14:33,189 --> 01:14:32,000
parachutes uh the other uh doing some of

1463
01:14:34,950 --> 01:14:33,199
the rigging that you were talking about

1464
01:14:37,430 --> 01:14:34,960
andy which is uh super critical to the

1465
01:14:39,350 --> 01:14:37,440
next series of steps um dragon the

1466
01:14:41,189 --> 01:14:39,360
spacex is go for recovery personnel to

1467
01:14:45,350 --> 01:14:41,199
approach expect personal alongside

1468
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:56,229
okay tap it out we're ready

1469
01:14:58,950 --> 01:14:57,990
so we should see one of the fast boats

1470
01:15:01,350 --> 01:14:58,960
go out

1471
01:15:02,630 --> 01:15:01,360
really right next to the capsule and uh

1472
01:15:05,669 --> 01:15:02,640
andy you were describing this a little

1473
01:15:07,350 --> 01:15:05,679
bit earlier we'll see um some personnel

1474
01:15:09,510 --> 01:15:07,360
climb on board

1475
01:15:10,950 --> 01:15:09,520
that rigging equipment is hardware that

1476
01:15:13,110 --> 01:15:10,960
they have on board and they have to

1477
01:15:14,470 --> 01:15:13,120
attach certain things to certain areas

1478
01:15:17,350 --> 01:15:14,480
um because the

1479
01:15:20,149 --> 01:15:17,360
recovery vessel itself the go navigator

1480
01:15:21,669 --> 01:15:20,159
uh is also moving out too turn in spacex

1481
01:15:29,430 --> 01:15:21,679
request permission to come on board via

1482
01:15:33,510 --> 01:15:30,950
you're welcome on board on the display

1483
01:15:44,950 --> 01:15:33,520
cam spacex

1484
01:15:48,149 --> 01:15:46,390
so the teams here in mission control

1485
01:15:50,550 --> 01:15:48,159
hawthorne will get a peek inside the

1486
01:15:52,310 --> 01:15:50,560
vehicle itself

1487
01:15:55,430 --> 01:15:52,320
watching over their shoulder the the

1488
01:15:58,470 --> 01:15:55,440
crew themselves really uh are just in a

1489
01:16:00,790 --> 01:15:58,480
waiting position um their seats were

1490
01:16:03,030 --> 01:16:00,800
rotated uh four shoot deployment and

1491
01:16:04,709 --> 01:16:03,040
four splash down uh so they're in a

1492
01:16:06,149 --> 01:16:04,719
slightly more upright position although

1493
01:16:08,709 --> 01:16:06,159
they're not completely upright it just

1494
01:16:10,550 --> 01:16:08,719
helps to help them to brace uh you heard

1495
01:16:12,390 --> 01:16:10,560
that a couple of times over the dragon

1496
01:16:13,830 --> 01:16:12,400
the ground calls brace for those shoot

1497
01:16:14,790 --> 01:16:13,840
deployments and for the splashdown

1498
01:16:16,229 --> 01:16:14,800
itself

1499
01:16:18,310 --> 01:16:16,239
but really they're in just a waiting

1500
01:16:21,430 --> 01:16:18,320
posture at this point as the recovery

1501
01:16:23,910 --> 01:16:21,440
teams do their job it'll take the

1502
01:16:25,430 --> 01:16:23,920
go navigator recovery vessel which we're

1503
01:16:28,390 --> 01:16:25,440
getting some of the images from right

1504
01:16:30,149 --> 01:16:28,400
now um the thermal images uh it takes it

1505
01:16:32,229 --> 01:16:30,159
quite a bit to get out to the capsule

1506
01:16:33,990 --> 01:16:32,239
itself about 30 minutes but which is why

1507
01:16:35,350 --> 01:16:34,000
we have the fast boats that's both doing

1508
01:16:37,910 --> 01:16:35,360
a lot of the

1509
01:16:40,470 --> 01:16:37,920
work ahead of time to prepare it so that

1510
01:16:43,110 --> 01:16:40,480
really when the go navigator arrives

1511
01:16:46,070 --> 01:16:43,120
right next to the spacecraft it is ready

1512
01:16:48,550 --> 01:16:46,080
to hoist onto the recovery vessel and

1513
01:16:50,070 --> 01:16:48,560
onto the dragon nest

1514
01:16:52,790 --> 01:16:50,080
you can see that each of the boats are

1515
01:16:54,950 --> 01:16:52,800
outfitted with uh spotlights to make

1516
01:16:57,830 --> 01:16:54,960
sure that they can again do all their

1517
01:17:03,669 --> 01:16:57,840
functions uh properly as this is a

1518
01:17:08,550 --> 01:17:05,510
but it looks like they have plenty of

1519
01:17:14,550 --> 01:17:11,110
and this is the second time that this

1520
01:17:16,709 --> 01:17:14,560
particular capsule has landed right um

1521
01:17:18,630 --> 01:17:16,719
so this this capsule endeavor was used

1522
01:17:20,870 --> 01:17:18,640
as part of the demonstration two mission

1523
01:17:23,110 --> 01:17:20,880
last year uh flying bob and doug and it

1524
01:17:25,270 --> 01:17:23,120
has splashed down and been recovered

1525
01:17:27,510 --> 01:17:25,280
once before so uh this is not its first

1526
01:17:30,149 --> 01:17:27,520
rodeo

1527
01:17:32,950 --> 01:17:30,159
really a testament to uh the capability

1528
01:17:34,390 --> 01:17:32,960
of these american spacecraft that are

1529
01:17:35,990 --> 01:17:34,400
rotating crews to and from the

1530
01:17:38,630 --> 01:17:36,000
international space station as part of

1531
01:17:40,950 --> 01:17:38,640
these expeditions

1532
01:17:42,229 --> 01:17:40,960
it is truly an international team from

1533
01:17:43,350 --> 01:17:42,239
the camera views that you're seeing

1534
01:17:46,070 --> 01:17:43,360
right now

1535
01:17:49,430 --> 01:17:46,080
on board the go navigator is

1536
01:17:51,910 --> 01:17:49,440
teams representing nasa spacex european

1537
01:17:53,270 --> 01:17:51,920
space agency and the japanese

1538
01:17:57,189 --> 01:17:53,280
exploration

1539
01:17:59,030 --> 01:17:57,199
of them on board

1540
01:18:01,510 --> 01:17:59,040
truly an international

1541
01:18:35,189 --> 01:18:01,520
government and commercial joint effort

1542
01:18:39,189 --> 01:18:37,830
so this is

1543
01:18:42,229 --> 01:18:39,199
this is the

1544
01:18:44,229 --> 01:18:42,239
first fast boat um right now it is uh

1545
01:18:46,070 --> 01:18:44,239
it's essentially doing safety checks uh

1546
01:18:49,189 --> 01:18:46,080
making sure that ordinances and

1547
01:18:51,590 --> 01:18:49,199
hypergals are uh still not persisting in

1548
01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:51,600
the area immediately around the vehicle

1549
01:18:54,310 --> 01:18:52,800
they're also

1550
01:18:55,830 --> 01:18:54,320
doing um

1551
01:18:57,910 --> 01:18:55,840
essentially a

1552
01:18:59,110 --> 01:18:57,920
an inspection of the capsule itself to

1553
01:19:01,830 --> 01:18:59,120
make sure that

1554
01:19:02,870 --> 01:19:01,840
integrity wise it is good uh before we

1555
01:19:05,590 --> 01:19:02,880
start to

1556
01:19:11,750 --> 01:19:05,600
um again rig the equipments for hoisting

1557
01:19:15,510 --> 01:19:13,430
so again it's it's going to take some

1558
01:19:19,430 --> 01:19:15,520
time we're shooting for less than an

1559
01:19:22,550 --> 01:19:19,440
hour to bring the dragon endeavor onto

1560
01:19:25,270 --> 01:19:22,560
the recovery ship and to

1561
01:19:26,870 --> 01:19:25,280
open up the hatches and egress the crew

1562
01:19:29,669 --> 01:19:26,880
or take them out and bring them onto the

1563
01:19:31,830 --> 01:19:29,679
medical facilities i can only imagine

1564
01:19:34,070 --> 01:19:31,840
the views that were possible from right

1565
01:19:36,870 --> 01:19:34,080
there in the gulf of mexico

1566
01:19:39,910 --> 01:19:36,880
let's see we do have a call-in from leah

1567
01:19:42,790 --> 01:19:39,920
cheshire uh nasa communications who's on

1568
01:19:45,669 --> 01:19:42,800
the go navigator recovery ship and was

1569
01:19:48,870 --> 01:19:45,679
able to uh witness the re-entry and

1570
01:19:50,790 --> 01:19:48,880
splashdown of crew dragon endeavor leah

1571
01:19:52,950 --> 01:19:50,800
if you can hear me tell us about your

1572
01:19:54,950 --> 01:19:52,960
experience and uh witnessing dragon

1573
01:19:56,310 --> 01:19:54,960
endeavor splash down

1574
01:19:58,229 --> 01:19:56,320
bringing a crew home from the

1575
01:20:02,470 --> 01:19:58,239
international space station for the

1576
01:20:06,470 --> 01:20:04,229
[Music]

1577
01:20:08,550 --> 01:20:06,480
i can only

1578
01:20:11,030 --> 01:20:08,560
i can hardly explain how amazing that

1579
01:20:14,229 --> 01:20:11,040
experience has been right now as you

1580
01:20:19,430 --> 01:20:14,239
said i'm on go navigator right now i'm

1581
01:20:23,750 --> 01:20:21,750
spacecraft um we were standing on top of

1582
01:20:25,270 --> 01:20:23,760
the helipad where we just landed at

1583
01:20:28,229 --> 01:20:25,280
about 9 00 pm

1584
01:20:31,110 --> 01:20:28,239
central third nine pm eastern time and

1585
01:20:32,790 --> 01:20:31,120
we feel back to the helipad watching the

1586
01:20:35,750 --> 01:20:32,800
crew members streak through the

1587
01:20:37,910 --> 01:20:35,760
atmosphere it truly looked like a meteor

1588
01:20:40,229 --> 01:20:37,920
and actually at the exact same time we

1589
01:20:42,390 --> 01:20:40,239
fought in the crew members we did see a

1590
01:20:43,910 --> 01:20:42,400
meteorite in the sky so it was an

1591
01:20:46,390 --> 01:20:43,920
incredible moment

1592
01:20:48,310 --> 01:20:46,400
and i was sitting next to nasa astronaut

1593
01:20:50,550 --> 01:20:48,320
shannon walker who she herself just

1594
01:20:53,189 --> 01:20:50,560
completed this journey six or seven

1595
01:20:56,709 --> 01:20:53,199
months ago as a member of the crew one

1596
01:20:57,990 --> 01:20:56,719
uh spacecraft and submission and so it's

1597
01:20:59,590 --> 01:20:58,000
it's been an incredible night here

1598
01:21:02,149 --> 01:20:59,600
although now the theater we can't ask

1599
01:21:05,430 --> 01:21:02,159
for better conditions it's uh wonderful

1600
01:21:08,390 --> 01:21:05,440
temperatures the seat is very smooth and

1601
01:21:10,709 --> 01:21:08,400
glassy almost and so uh things are just

1602
01:21:15,189 --> 01:21:10,719
moving really smoothly here and teams

1603
01:21:17,669 --> 01:21:15,199
are are exiting everything at the stairs

1604
01:21:19,990 --> 01:21:17,679
leah tell me what's uh happening uh as

1605
01:21:22,709 --> 01:21:20,000
you are witnessing it uh you mentioned

1606
01:21:24,790 --> 01:21:22,719
landing uh uh not too long ago about an

1607
01:21:27,350 --> 01:21:24,800
hour and a half ago on the recovery ship

1608
01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:27,360
tell me what the teams have been doing

1609
01:21:31,110 --> 01:21:28,960
we witnessed the back end of that with

1610
01:21:33,030 --> 01:21:31,120
the recovery boats deployed uh what's

1611
01:21:35,410 --> 01:21:33,040
been happening in preparation from your

1612
01:21:41,110 --> 01:21:35,420
perspective to get ready for this moment

1613
01:21:46,390 --> 01:21:43,350
well we saw the bath boat and the jet

1614
01:21:48,229 --> 01:21:46,400
ski pull up next to us pretty much as we

1615
01:21:49,750 --> 01:21:48,239
waited for the capsule to re-enter the

1616
01:21:52,390 --> 01:21:49,760
water and i actually have a very good

1617
01:21:53,990 --> 01:21:52,400
vision of the castle right now um and

1618
01:21:56,629 --> 01:21:54,000
since that time there's been several

1619
01:21:58,229 --> 01:21:56,639
people on the ship um just making sure

1620
01:21:59,750 --> 01:21:58,239
that all of the

1621
01:22:01,110 --> 01:21:59,760
hydraulics and everything are ready to

1622
01:22:04,950 --> 01:22:01,120
go to lift

1623
01:22:07,830 --> 01:22:04,960
crew dragon up is to have a nest that is

1624
01:22:09,510 --> 01:22:07,840
on backup strip and you'll see that as

1625
01:22:10,790 --> 01:22:09,520
it's pulled for the platform that they

1626
01:22:13,030 --> 01:22:10,800
will egress

1627
01:22:14,870 --> 01:22:13,040
they'll then move into medical checks so

1628
01:22:17,830 --> 01:22:14,880
you've got all the team members here on

1629
01:22:22,390 --> 01:22:19,750
tonight on the helicopters and uh

1630
01:22:25,270 --> 01:22:22,400
they're ready to jump in

1631
01:22:27,189 --> 01:22:25,280
go ahead for status update

1632
01:22:28,790 --> 01:22:27,199
proper call sweeps and unfired ordinance

1633
01:22:31,110 --> 01:22:28,800
checks are nominal

1634
01:22:33,110 --> 01:22:31,120
rigging is in progress approximately two

1635
01:22:39,510 --> 01:22:33,120
five minutes until capsule lift

1636
01:22:43,430 --> 01:22:41,590
copy two five minutes before lift and

1637
01:22:44,709 --> 01:22:43,440
standing by for pmc

1638
01:22:46,229 --> 01:22:44,719
all right we're hearing private medical

1639
01:22:47,510 --> 01:22:46,239
conference coming up

1640
01:22:54,149 --> 01:22:47,520
for a minute if you'd like uh just to

1641
01:22:58,550 --> 01:22:55,590
sounds good i will call you back in one

1642

all right and we're hearing those uh the

1643
01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:02,080
the crew sounding healthy from from

1644
01:23:05,430 --> 01:23:04,320
inside crew dragon endeavor walking

1645
01:23:07,510 --> 01:23:05,440
through the final steps getting a

1646
01:23:09,350 --> 01:23:07,520
private medical conference leah one more

1647
01:23:11,430 --> 01:23:09,360
question before we let you go and

1648
01:23:12,790 --> 01:23:11,440
witness some of the next uh series of

1649
01:23:15,270 --> 01:23:12,800
events uh of course we're going to be

1650
01:23:16,229 --> 01:23:15,280
following all along the way but after

1651
01:23:18,870 --> 01:23:16,239
the crew

1652
01:23:21,830 --> 01:23:18,880
enters into the

1653
01:23:24,550 --> 01:23:21,840
go navigator vessel and does those

1654
01:23:27,189 --> 01:23:24,560
medical checks what are the next steps

1655
01:23:34,470 --> 01:23:27,199
to get the crew uh home uh either in

1656
01:23:39,430 --> 01:23:37,510
it is an incredibly excellent process uh

1657
01:23:41,110 --> 01:23:39,440
so the crew members after they've

1658
01:23:42,950 --> 01:23:41,120
completed those medical checks they will

1659
01:23:45,750 --> 01:23:42,960
board a helicopter right here on the

1660
01:23:50,350 --> 01:23:45,760
boat uh within just a couple of hours of

1661
01:23:50,360 --> 01:24:01,110
[Applause]

1662
01:24:05,990 --> 01:24:02,629
and their mission on the international

1663
01:24:10,550 --> 01:24:06,000
space station uh everything is moving on

1664
01:24:14,790 --> 01:24:12,629
leah cheshire nasa communications thank

1665
01:24:16,550 --> 01:24:14,800
you for joining us and and telling us a

1666
01:24:18,470 --> 01:24:16,560
little bit about uh what's happening

1667
01:24:22,340 --> 01:24:18,480
there at the recovery site best of luck

1668
01:24:22,350 --> 01:24:26,870
[Music]

1669
01:24:30,870 --> 01:24:28,390
all right that was leah cheshire on

1670
01:24:33,590 --> 01:24:30,880
board the uh go navigator recovery

1671
01:24:35,110 --> 01:24:33,600
vessel now heading back uh to inside the

1672
01:24:36,470 --> 01:24:35,120
crew dragon we're getting those views

1673
01:24:39,110 --> 01:24:36,480
right over the shoulder the crew

1674
01:24:41,669 --> 01:24:39,120
standing by helmet visors up uh really

1675
01:24:43,430 --> 01:24:41,679
just in a waiting posture as we're uh uh

1676
01:24:46,149 --> 01:24:43,440
waiting for the

1677
01:24:48,870 --> 01:24:46,159
fast boats and the teams out there to

1678
01:24:51,669 --> 01:24:48,880
rig the crew dragon endeavor with the

1679
01:24:53,830 --> 01:24:51,679
proper equipment to hoist it the capsule

1680
01:24:55,910 --> 01:24:53,840
itself up onto the go navigator

1681
01:24:58,310 --> 01:24:55,920
spacecraft where you just heard uh leah

1682
01:25:01,350 --> 01:24:58,320
cheshire and the remaining recovery

1683
01:25:03,110 --> 01:25:01,360
teams uh are waiting uh for of course

1684
01:25:04,629 --> 01:25:03,120
the series of medical checks and and of

1685
01:25:07,430 --> 01:25:04,639
course the personnel representing each

1686
01:25:10,390 --> 01:25:07,440
of the space agencies nasa uh

1687
01:25:53,750 --> 01:25:10,400
european space agency jaxa as well as

1688
01:25:53,760 --> 01:26:24,709
you

1689
01:26:28,950 --> 01:26:26,629
so again as expected crew dragon

1690
01:26:32,950 --> 01:26:28,960
endeavor splashing down off the coast of

1691
01:26:36,709 --> 01:26:32,960
pensacola florida right on time 7 33 p.m

1692
01:26:37,910 --> 01:26:36,719
pacific time 10 33 p.m eastern standard

1693
01:26:39,669 --> 01:26:37,920
time

1694
01:26:41,110 --> 01:26:39,679
an incredible journey we got a fly

1695
01:26:44,229 --> 01:26:41,120
around of the international space

1696
01:26:45,990 --> 01:26:44,239
station documenting the exterior of the

1697
01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:46,000
orbiting complex with digital

1698
01:26:50,950 --> 01:26:47,920
photographs the first time we've done

1699
01:26:53,189 --> 01:26:50,960
that since 2018 with a soyuz survey

1700
01:26:55,030 --> 01:26:53,199
that was done a lot of elements of the

1701
01:26:56,709 --> 01:26:55,040
space station have been added since so

1702
01:26:58,870 --> 01:26:56,719
we'll be able to document that and check

1703
01:27:00,870 --> 01:26:58,880
on the status of areas that can't

1704
01:27:01,910 --> 01:27:00,880
normally be seen by some of the exterior

1705
01:27:04,790 --> 01:27:01,920
cameras

1706
01:27:07,430 --> 01:27:04,800
as well as the robotic arm you see we

1707
01:27:10,470 --> 01:27:07,440
are getting uh views from inside capsule

1708
01:27:12,550 --> 01:27:10,480
endeavor uh the crew really just poised

1709
01:27:14,229 --> 01:27:12,560
seated uh with their seats rotated

1710
01:27:16,470 --> 01:27:14,239
slightly upright you can see they still

1711
01:27:21,830 --> 01:27:16,480
have uh access to someone's hands for

1712
01:27:24,790 --> 01:27:23,350
go ahead

1713
01:27:26,470 --> 01:27:24,800
let's turn around and make its final

1714
01:27:28,790 --> 01:27:26,480
approach to you

1715
01:27:29,910 --> 01:27:28,800
just a couple hundred meters off

1716
01:27:39,669 --> 01:27:29,920
just checking in to see if ready for

1717
01:27:44,470 --> 01:27:42,790
we are ready for the tmc

1718
01:27:58,830 --> 01:27:44,480
all right and work next person you hear

1719
01:28:04,149 --> 01:28:02,229
no we just got updates that the recovery

1720
01:28:06,629 --> 01:28:04,159
vessel is uh just a couple hundred

1721
01:28:09,430 --> 01:28:06,639
meters away from the dragon capsule

1722
01:28:11,189 --> 01:28:09,440
um and they are gearing up for the pmc

1723
01:28:13,350 --> 01:28:11,199
which stands for private medical

1724
01:28:14,629 --> 01:28:13,360
conference the flight surgeon

1725
01:28:16,870 --> 01:28:14,639
will check in with each of the crew

1726
01:28:19,430 --> 01:28:16,880
members to make sure

1727
01:28:21,470 --> 01:28:19,440
they are doing well as they

1728
01:28:26,149 --> 01:28:21,480
have just returned back to earth after

1729
01:28:31,990 --> 01:28:28,229
right now this is a view of the back

1730
01:28:34,709 --> 01:28:32,000
side of the recovery vessel um that is

1731
01:28:36,870 --> 01:28:34,719
essentially a crane uh the bottom middle

1732
01:28:39,350 --> 01:28:36,880
section is the platform or nest where

1733
01:28:41,510 --> 01:28:39,360
the dragon will be hoisted up and placed

1734
01:28:43,910 --> 01:28:41,520
upon and that platform actually will

1735
01:28:46,070 --> 01:28:43,920
move um towards the center of the boat

1736
01:28:50,149 --> 01:28:46,080
uh into essentially a platform where the

1737
01:28:52,390 --> 01:28:50,159
astronauts can uh step off of and so um

1738
01:28:54,470 --> 01:28:52,400
again the the the boat is is backing up

1739
01:28:58,470 --> 01:28:54,480
towards the dragon cap so you can see it

1740
01:29:00,310 --> 01:28:58,480
in the background there and it'll

1741
01:29:02,629 --> 01:29:00,320
hook up all of its lines to the rigging

1742
01:29:05,350 --> 01:29:02,639
equipment that the rigger is currently

1743
01:29:06,790 --> 01:29:05,360
attaching on the spacecraft and will

1744
01:29:09,510 --> 01:29:06,800
hoist it up and get it on top of the

1745
01:29:11,430 --> 01:29:09,520
recovery vessel

1746
01:29:13,669 --> 01:29:11,440
we are not too far away from the dragon

1747
01:29:16,229 --> 01:29:13,679
spacecraft it's right off of the aft end

1748
01:29:18,070 --> 01:29:16,239
of the recovery vessel itself so right

1749
01:29:20,229 --> 01:29:18,080
as expected it was about uh it was

1750
01:29:25,430 --> 01:29:20,239
expected to be a 30 minute transition

1751
01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:29,189
yeah about a 30 minute transit and

1752
01:29:29,199 --> 01:29:39,270
they got there in 20.

1753
01:29:44,229 --> 01:29:42,149
i think a big part of of this is you

1754
01:29:46,310 --> 01:29:44,239
look at the seas right now and uh

1755
01:29:48,310 --> 01:29:46,320
there's effectively no movement gary uh

1756
01:29:51,030 --> 01:29:48,320
leah described it uh

1757
01:29:51,990 --> 01:29:51,040
witnessing it firsthand it is glass-like

1758
01:29:53,669 --> 01:29:52,000
steam

1759
01:29:55,750 --> 01:29:53,679
which makes really for the recovery

1760
01:29:57,430 --> 01:29:55,760
operations just that much

1761
01:30:00,550 --> 01:29:57,440
easier

1762
01:30:02,709 --> 01:30:00,560
really one of the very critical reasons

1763
01:30:05,350 --> 01:30:02,719
why we are in an indirect handover

1764
01:30:07,430 --> 01:30:05,360
posture again the crew 2 astronauts

1765
01:30:09,750 --> 01:30:07,440
landing in the gulf of mexico before

1766
01:30:12,149 --> 01:30:09,760
crew 3 launched it was really for for

1767
01:30:14,790 --> 01:30:12,159
this reason it was because the weather

1768
01:30:17,110 --> 01:30:14,800
at this moment in time was predicted uh

1769
01:30:19,350 --> 01:30:17,120
to be as smooth and uh

1770
01:30:27,669 --> 01:30:19,360
as fantastic as

1771
01:30:32,149 --> 01:30:30,310
so again the crew is

1772
01:30:34,790 --> 01:30:32,159
had a private medical conference that

1773
01:30:37,030 --> 01:30:34,800
was an initial assessment before

1774
01:30:38,870 --> 01:30:37,040
the docs on board have access to pull

1775
01:30:40,310 --> 01:30:38,880
them out of the spacecraft they have a

1776
01:30:42,149 --> 01:30:40,320
pretty good idea of what to expect

1777
01:30:45,430 --> 01:30:42,159
whenever they pull them out so they'll

1778
01:30:49,270 --> 01:30:47,270
precautions to take and what's needed

1779
01:30:51,669 --> 01:30:49,280
for each individual crew member that of

1780
01:30:55,430 --> 01:30:51,679
course privatized because of the medical

1781
01:30:57,350 --> 01:30:55,440
uh reasons um but uh that is why we have

1782
01:31:00,390 --> 01:30:57,360
medical personnel on board the recovery

1783
01:31:01,910 --> 01:31:00,400
spacecraft medical facilities on board

1784
01:31:04,149 --> 01:31:01,920
i'm sorry not the recovery spacecraft

1785
01:31:06,790 --> 01:31:04,159
the recovery vessel and metal medical

1786
01:31:09,270 --> 01:31:06,800
facilities there as well uh and of

1787
01:31:12,149 --> 01:31:09,280
course it'll be a time for the docs to

1788
01:31:14,470 --> 01:31:12,159
do those initial checks uh before they

1789
01:31:17,350 --> 01:31:14,480
uh what's anticipated will fly each of

1790
01:31:18,390 --> 01:31:17,360
the crew members out on a hilo uh back

1791
01:31:25,830 --> 01:31:18,400
to

1792
01:31:27,350 --> 01:31:25,840
at all until we have some crew members

1793
01:31:28,709 --> 01:31:27,360
back home

1794
01:31:31,430 --> 01:31:28,719
shane

1795
01:31:33,750 --> 01:31:31,440
kimbrough megan mcarthur aki hoshide all

1796
01:31:36,070 --> 01:31:33,760
uh planned to go on a nasa plane back to

1797
01:31:37,830 --> 01:31:36,080
houston they'll land in ellington field

1798
01:31:39,189 --> 01:31:37,840
uh not too far away from the johnson

1799
01:31:40,550 --> 01:31:39,199
space center there

1800
01:31:42,550 --> 01:31:40,560
will they'll get to meet up with their

1801
01:31:44,550 --> 01:31:42,560
family and friends of course uh

1802
01:31:47,030 --> 01:31:44,560
tomafesque will board a separate plane

1803
01:31:49,270 --> 01:31:47,040
and head over to europe for the

1804
01:32:21,910 --> 01:31:49,280
facilities over at the european space

1805
01:32:27,030 --> 01:32:24,229
so we're continuing to provide coverage

1806
01:32:28,870 --> 01:32:27,040
even though the crude dragon and the and

1807
01:32:31,510 --> 01:32:28,880
the crew inside have splashed down

1808
01:32:34,550 --> 01:32:31,520
safely in the gulf of mexico at uh right

1809
01:32:36,390 --> 01:32:34,560
on time 7 30 3 p.m pacific 10 33 p.m

1810
01:32:39,189 --> 01:32:36,400
eastern will continue to provide

1811
01:32:41,510 --> 01:32:39,199
coverage until they egress or exit from

1812
01:32:43,590 --> 01:32:41,520
the spacecraft itself and once all four

1813
01:32:45,510 --> 01:32:43,600
crew members are on board

1814
01:32:47,990 --> 01:32:45,520
we're expecting to get some calls from

1815
01:32:49,669 --> 01:32:48,000
representatives of each of the space

1816
01:32:52,550 --> 01:32:49,679
agencies of the astronauts that are on

1817
01:32:54,550 --> 01:32:52,560
board crew dragon endeavor now now

1818
01:32:56,709 --> 01:32:54,560
jackson and esa all calling in to

1819
01:32:58,310 --> 01:32:56,719
provide some remarks after a successful

1820
01:33:33,350 --> 01:32:58,320
mission and return of all four crew

1821
01:33:38,790 --> 01:33:35,510
and this here is a live view inside of

1822
01:33:40,790 --> 01:33:38,800
the dragon capsule the crew members are

1823
01:33:41,990 --> 01:33:40,800
inside and really gary as you mentioned

1824
01:33:44,229 --> 01:33:42,000
they are just

1825
01:33:45,270 --> 01:33:44,239
uh waiting for the recovery team to do

1826
01:33:46,229 --> 01:33:45,280
their job

1827
01:33:48,790 --> 01:33:46,239
uh

1828
01:33:53,500 --> 01:33:48,800
hoist the dragon out of the water before

1829
01:33:57,510 --> 01:33:55,430
[Applause]

1830
01:33:58,790 --> 01:33:57,520
from this view inside crew dragon

1831
01:34:00,550 --> 01:33:58,800
endeavor

1832
01:34:02,629 --> 01:34:00,560
over on the right side megan mcarthur

1833
01:34:05,110 --> 01:34:02,639
the pilot for the crew tube mission you

1834
01:34:06,950 --> 01:34:05,120
can see that little black antenna

1835
01:34:09,510 --> 01:34:06,960
sticking out from her seat she's on a

1836
01:34:10,629 --> 01:34:09,520
satellite phone right now talking with

1837
01:34:13,590 --> 01:34:10,639
the uh

1838
01:34:15,510 --> 01:34:13,600
teams over in mission control houston

1839
01:34:17,590 --> 01:34:15,520
getting confirmation that everyone's

1840
01:34:32,550 --> 01:34:17,600
saying hi to the crew checking in sounds

1841
01:34:36,790 --> 01:34:34,470
if you remember back in uh

1842
01:34:38,229 --> 01:34:36,800
the demo two mission it was a test

1843
01:34:40,470 --> 01:34:38,239
mission for

1844
01:34:41,590 --> 01:34:40,480
using crew dragon endeavor but really to

1845
01:34:44,070 --> 01:34:41,600
verify

1846
01:34:45,830 --> 01:34:44,080
that the spacex crew dragon was ready to

1847
01:34:47,109 --> 01:34:45,840
carry crews as part of regular crew

1848
01:34:48,870 --> 01:34:47,119
rotation missions to and from the

1849
01:34:51,189 --> 01:34:48,880
international space station

1850
01:34:52,149 --> 01:34:51,199
as part of that they used the satellite

1851
01:34:54,550 --> 01:34:52,159
phone

1852
01:34:56,709 --> 01:34:54,560
as one of the checks and measures to

1853
01:34:58,950 --> 01:34:56,719
ensure that the crew had the capability

1854
01:35:00,870 --> 01:34:58,960
to use the satellite phone

1855
01:35:02,149 --> 01:35:00,880
to call the various teams and report

1856
01:35:03,750 --> 01:35:02,159
statuses

1857
01:35:05,430 --> 01:35:03,760
it was

1858
01:35:07,350 --> 01:35:05,440
really a precaution and one of the test

1859
01:35:09,910 --> 01:35:07,360
objectives of

1860
01:35:25,620 --> 01:35:09,920
the mission itself

1861
01:36:42,310 --> 01:36:05,380
[Music]

1862
01:36:52,229 --> 01:36:44,950
and now the recovery vessel is that much

1863
01:36:52,239 --> 01:36:57,270
spacex for status update

1864
01:37:01,430 --> 01:36:59,510
go ahead

1865
01:37:06,950 --> 01:37:01,440
breaking is complete or approximately

1866
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:13,990
copy

1867
01:37:19,350 --> 01:37:17,030
so you can see the person that is on the

1868
01:37:21,030 --> 01:37:19,360
capsule stuff that is the rigor they we

1869
01:37:23,910 --> 01:37:21,040
just got confirmation that the rigging

1870
01:37:25,189 --> 01:37:23,920
has been completed uh now they are

1871
01:37:28,149 --> 01:37:25,199
essentially

1872
01:37:29,510 --> 01:37:28,159
um securing the the dragon capsule to

1873
01:37:32,950 --> 01:37:29,520
all the rigging hardware that was

1874
01:37:35,669 --> 01:37:32,960
attached to safely lift it up and out of

1875
01:37:37,350 --> 01:37:35,679
the water and onto the recovery vessel

1876
01:37:41,590 --> 01:37:37,360
we're seeing motion of the a-frame now

1877
01:37:46,149 --> 01:37:43,510
the rigor making the final attachments

1878
01:37:48,229 --> 01:37:46,159
necessary

1879
01:37:51,510 --> 01:37:48,239
memory serves me right from previous

1880
01:37:54,229 --> 01:37:51,520
recovery missions the rigor will uh

1881
01:37:57,109 --> 01:37:54,239
jump off the capsule into the water

1882
01:38:00,709 --> 01:37:57,119
and make his way back into the recovery

1883
01:38:42,790 --> 01:38:00,719
or into one of the fast boats

1884
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:48,390
dragon spacex space for capsule lift

1885
01:38:52,629 --> 01:38:50,070
there he goes as expected jumped into

1886
01:38:54,310 --> 01:38:52,639
the water his job complete attaching the

1887
01:38:56,709 --> 01:38:54,320
uh

1888
01:38:58,629 --> 01:38:56,719
all of the connection points to

1889
01:39:00,390 --> 01:38:58,639
crew dragon endeavor

1890
01:39:04,229 --> 01:39:00,400
making sure that it is stable as the

1891
01:39:06,390 --> 01:39:04,239
a-frame itself using hydraulic lifts

1892
01:39:07,350 --> 01:39:06,400
hoists crew dragon endeavor out of the

1893
01:39:09,430 --> 01:39:07,360
water

1894
01:39:11,510 --> 01:39:09,440
onto that circular frame there you see

1895
01:39:12,950 --> 01:39:11,520
at the base of uh

1896
01:39:21,990 --> 01:39:12,960
the ship

1897
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,750
there we are

1898
01:39:29,590 --> 01:39:27,990
in a in in a slightly

1899
01:39:30,870 --> 01:39:29,600
ahead of schedule we were expecting

1900
01:39:33,590 --> 01:39:30,880
dragon

1901
01:39:35,830 --> 01:39:33,600
lift to begin at l plus 38 minutes it is

1902
01:39:37,669 --> 01:39:35,840
l plus 30 minutes now

1903
01:39:40,709 --> 01:39:37,679
uh so

1904
01:39:46,070 --> 01:39:40,719
things things continuing to go smoothly

1905
01:40:01,180 --> 01:39:47,430
seem to get better and more efficient

1906
01:40:01,190 --> 01:40:27,270
[Applause]

1907
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:45,990
oh

1908
01:40:46,000 --> 01:41:10,310
there

1909
01:41:14,870 --> 01:41:12,149
dragon welcome aboard the recovery

1910
01:41:16,550 --> 01:41:14,880
vessel personnel completing final checks

1911
01:41:21,990 --> 01:41:16,560
stand by for translation to the egress

1912
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:27,750
ready for that

1913
01:41:32,390 --> 01:41:29,270
all right with that we have confirmation

1914
01:41:35,109 --> 01:41:32,400
that uh crew dragon endeavor is on the

1915
01:41:37,430 --> 01:41:35,119
dragon nest it has been hoisted from the

1916
01:41:38,310 --> 01:41:37,440
gulf of mexico and put onto the recovery

1917
01:41:40,950 --> 01:41:38,320
ship

1918
01:41:43,109 --> 01:41:40,960
where you saw the dragon be gently

1919
01:41:45,510 --> 01:41:43,119
placed is called the dragon nest that

1920
01:41:48,870 --> 01:41:45,520
whole section of the ship will be uh

1921
01:41:49,830 --> 01:41:48,880
translated or moved in uh further into

1922
01:41:52,470 --> 01:41:49,840
the ship

1923
01:41:54,229 --> 01:41:52,480
uh to allow access to the side hatch

1924
01:41:56,950 --> 01:41:54,239
that'll be the next uh very important

1925
01:41:59,590 --> 01:41:56,960
critical series of steps

1926
01:42:01,750 --> 01:41:59,600
there's personnel there that will

1927
01:42:04,550 --> 01:42:01,760
work on the hatch to eventually open it

1928
01:42:05,750 --> 01:42:04,560
it'll be open for the first time in 199

1929
01:42:07,189 --> 01:42:05,760
days

1930
01:42:10,149 --> 01:42:07,199
and we'll get the first

1931
01:42:12,550 --> 01:42:10,159
glimpses of the crew inside

1932
01:42:14,709 --> 01:42:12,560
we should be able to witness the

1933
01:42:16,550 --> 01:42:14,719
egress operations as well each of the

1934
01:42:19,669 --> 01:42:16,560
crew members getting out as long as the

1935
01:42:19,679 --> 01:42:44,450
so we can welcome each of them inside

1936
01:42:44,460 --> 01:42:49,120
[Applause]

1937
01:43:27,350 --> 01:42:50,790
[Music]

1938
01:43:54,390 --> 01:43:50,790
so

1939
01:43:57,430 --> 01:43:54,400
joining us the dragon capsule has been

1940
01:44:00,229 --> 01:43:57,440
lifted up and out of the water and is on

1941
01:44:02,629 --> 01:44:00,239
the recovery vessel uh we just saw a few

1942
01:44:05,270 --> 01:44:02,639
shots of the crew on board the ship uh

1943
01:44:07,109 --> 01:44:05,280
what they're doing is uh securing the

1944
01:44:08,870 --> 01:44:07,119
dragon onto the ship to make sure it

1945
01:44:11,109 --> 01:44:08,880
doesn't move as again it's being

1946
01:44:13,990 --> 01:44:11,119
translated or or moved towards the

1947
01:44:17,030 --> 01:44:14,000
egress platform uh where the side hatch

1948
01:44:20,390 --> 01:44:17,040
will be opened and the crew inside uh

1949
01:44:22,149 --> 01:44:20,400
can uh egress the vehicle

1950
01:44:24,709 --> 01:44:22,159
the shot you see on screen right now is

1951
01:44:29,430 --> 01:44:24,719
a view inside it's a live shot of the of

1952
01:44:33,350 --> 01:44:32,229
on the left hand side that is a

1953
01:44:35,910 --> 01:44:33,360

don't see on screen is to the right of

1957
01:44:45,189 --> 01:44:43,760
megan macarthur is mission specialist

1958
01:44:48,070 --> 01:44:45,199
tomorrow pasquee

1959
01:44:50,229 --> 01:44:48,080
uh and uh to the left of shane kimbrough

1960
01:44:53,910 --> 01:44:50,239
is mission specialist aki

1961
01:44:56,790 --> 01:44:54,950
they've had

1962
01:44:58,310 --> 01:44:56,800
about an eight hour journey from

1963
01:44:59,990 --> 01:44:58,320
undocking from the international space

1964
01:45:02,070 --> 01:45:00,000
station and now they're on their journey

1965
01:45:05,270 --> 01:45:02,080
to stand by for translation to egress

1966
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:30,709
copy we're ready

1967
01:45:30,719 --> 01:45:50,629
there's that translation

1968
01:45:50,639 --> 01:46:00,070
uh

1969
01:46:00,080 --> 01:47:02,070
here

1970
01:47:05,990 --> 01:47:04,149
still getting views from inside crew

1971
01:47:09,350 --> 01:47:06,000
dragon endeavor this is spectacular

1972
01:47:11,350 --> 01:47:09,360
we're less than 40 minutes after the

1973
01:47:14,149 --> 01:47:11,360
dragon itself splashed down in the gulf

1974
01:47:16,550 --> 01:47:14,159
of mexico for the second time

1975
01:47:19,350 --> 01:47:16,560
now just again less than 40 minutes

1976
01:47:21,189 --> 01:47:19,360
later the crew has been hoisted onto the

1977
01:47:23,590 --> 01:47:21,199
recovery ship

1978
01:47:26,310 --> 01:47:23,600
and the dragon nest itself has been

1979
01:47:29,590 --> 01:47:26,320
translated over to the egress platform

1980
01:47:32,310 --> 01:47:29,600
uh the next series of steps will be uh

1981
01:47:34,229 --> 01:47:32,320
personnel on the recovery vessel that

1982
01:47:36,709 --> 01:47:34,239
are specialized in opening up that side

1983
01:47:39,189 --> 01:47:36,719
hatch uh we'll do so we have medical

1984
01:47:40,550 --> 01:47:39,199
doctors on board that will

1985
01:47:41,830 --> 01:47:40,560
take care of them after that they'll

1986
01:47:44,709 --> 01:47:41,840
provide initial

1987
01:47:46,229 --> 01:47:44,719
medical care and assessment uh egressing

1988
01:47:48,310 --> 01:47:46,239
the crew from

1989
01:47:50,070 --> 01:47:48,320
outside the dragon and putting them into

1990
01:47:52,310 --> 01:47:50,080
medical facilities that are on board to

1991
01:47:54,629 --> 01:47:52,320
conduct a series of initial checks uh

1992
01:47:57,189 --> 01:47:54,639
before they are flown by helicopter back

1993
01:47:58,870 --> 01:47:57,199
to shore the recovery vessel takes uh

1994
01:48:01,430 --> 01:47:58,880
quite a bit of time to get back to shore

1995
01:48:04,229 --> 01:48:01,440
so they'll be flown uh so they can get

1996
01:48:06,390 --> 01:48:04,239
right on an aircraft and fly home within

1997
01:48:08,070 --> 01:48:06,400
a very short period of time

1998
01:48:10,229 --> 01:48:08,080
again we're going to provide continuous

1999
01:48:12,390 --> 01:48:10,239
coverage until all crew members have

2000
01:48:16,070 --> 01:48:12,400
egressed the vehicle we also have

2001
01:48:17,669 --> 01:48:16,080
representatives of nasa jaxa and esa

2002
01:48:19,430 --> 01:48:17,679
that are scheduled to be on the line to

2003
01:48:21,750 --> 01:48:19,440
provide a comments of a successful

2004
01:48:23,510 --> 01:48:21,760
mission after the crew successfully

2005
01:48:33,350 --> 01:48:23,520
splashed down egressed and are safe on

2006
01:48:37,510 --> 01:48:35,510
dragon stand by for side hatch opening

2007
01:48:38,790 --> 01:48:37,520
and egress next call will be from the

2008
01:48:40,629 --> 01:48:38,800
recovery team

2009
01:48:44,709 --> 01:48:40,639
critique congratulations

2010
01:49:02,070 --> 01:48:46,470
hey thanks again christy and your team

2011
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:06,310
side hatch is open

2012
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:33,430
you see the waves coming out

2013
01:49:45,990 --> 01:49:35,830
even from inside dragon now we're seeing

2014
01:49:51,350 --> 01:49:48,390
the first humans that these crew members

2015
01:50:00,950 --> 01:49:51,360
have seen on planet earth

2016
01:50:04,470 --> 01:50:02,470
so i believe the recovery team is

2017
01:50:05,830 --> 01:50:04,480
checking in with the crews to make sure

2018
01:50:08,470 --> 01:50:05,840
uh they're all

2019
01:50:10,790 --> 01:50:08,480
uh doing fine there are we actually have

2020
01:50:12,149 --> 01:50:10,800
to remove the foot rest underneath the

2021
01:50:13,830 --> 01:50:12,159
seats um

2022
01:50:16,950 --> 01:50:13,840
prior to the crew getting out it just

2023
01:50:21,700 --> 01:50:18,629
for them to egress the vehicle with that

2024
01:50:29,350 --> 01:50:21,710
out of the way

2025
01:50:32,550 --> 01:50:31,189
we're on a great timeline right now just

2026
01:50:34,709 --> 01:50:32,560
40 minutes

2027
01:50:36,870 --> 01:50:34,719
uh after splashing down in the gulf of

2028
01:50:38,709 --> 01:50:36,880
mexico the side hatch is open

2029
01:50:41,430 --> 01:50:38,719
and there are

2030
01:50:58,550 --> 01:50:41,440
teams inside crew dragon endeavor

2031
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:17,589
so

2032
01:51:23,270 --> 01:51:20,629
oh this is five views inside endeavor

2033
01:51:25,750 --> 01:51:23,280
wonderful getting all four crew members

2034
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:25,760
thumbs up they are feeling good live

2035
01:51:41,270 --> 01:51:28,320
streamed from on the recovery boat

2036
01:52:01,910 --> 01:51:57,990
so

2037
01:52:04,070 --> 01:52:01,920
footrests are coming out of the vehicle

2038
01:52:06,229 --> 01:52:04,080
and once all those are removed we are

2039
01:52:41,990 --> 01:52:06,239
expecting the crew to egress one at a

2040
01:52:42,000 --> 01:53:31,350
is

2041
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:59,510
yes

2042
01:53:59,520 --> 01:55:03,589
so

2043
01:55:58,470 --> 01:55:55,030
you

2044
01:56:01,189 --> 01:55:58,480
hand side of the screen that is the view

2045
01:56:03,189 --> 01:56:01,199
from inside of the dragon capsule

2046
01:56:05,109 --> 01:56:03,199
it has been

2047
01:56:06,470 --> 01:56:05,119
recovered out of the water and it's

2048
01:56:09,109 --> 01:56:06,480
currently on

2049
01:56:10,950 --> 01:56:09,119
the recovery vessel the side hatch is

2050
01:56:13,669 --> 01:56:10,960
open as you can see on the right hand

2051
01:56:16,310 --> 01:56:13,679
side of the screen the recovery team

2052
01:56:18,070 --> 01:56:16,320
are continuing to

2053
01:56:19,430 --> 01:56:18,080
do some more checkouts and procedures

2054
01:56:22,709 --> 01:56:19,440
before

2055
01:57:53,670 --> 01:56:22,719
we start to see the crew 2 astronauts

2056
01:57:53,680 --> 01:58:42,390
[Applause]

2057
01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:55,030
so

2058
01:59:00,229 --> 01:58:57,030
still standing by for

2059
01:59:03,510 --> 01:59:00,239
uh the egress of the four astronauts of

2060
01:59:06,149 --> 01:59:03,520
crew 2. outside of crew dragon endeavour

2061
01:59:11,270 --> 01:59:08,310
stationed over to the left there is a

2062
01:59:13,830 --> 01:59:11,280
stretcher part of the nominal procedure

2063
01:59:15,350 --> 01:59:13,840
once they are egressed from the vehicle

2064
01:59:17,589 --> 01:59:15,360
they'll be put into

2065
01:59:20,550 --> 01:59:17,599
the stretcher and taken over to medical

2066
01:59:23,430 --> 01:59:20,560
facilities this is a standard precaution

2067
02:00:48,790 --> 01:59:23,440
that's been exercised for each of the

2068
02:00:52,709 --> 02:00:50,790
the first crew member being egressed

2069
02:00:55,350 --> 02:00:52,719

gotta witness applause

2071
02:01:21,030 --> 02:01:13,830
it's hard to tell which crew member that

2072
02:01:25,109 --> 02:01:22,470
and we got confirmation that was megan

2073
02:01:26,709 --> 02:01:25,119

great uh recovery we we talked about how

02:09:30,870 --> 02:09:28,719
things were going to speed up um and get

2108
02:09:32,629 --> 02:09:30,880
more exciting and that recovery was one

2109
02:09:34,470 --> 02:09:32,639
of the fastest i've ever seen it was

2110
02:09:36,310 --> 02:09:34,480
spectacular i mean uh you couldn't have

2111
02:09:37,990 --> 02:09:36,320
asked for a better mission uh we

2112
02:09:41,510 --> 02:09:38,000
accomplished everything and everything

2113
02:09:43,830 --> 02:09:41,520
on time undocking right at 1105 uh am

2114
02:09:46,149 --> 02:09:43,840
earlier today we did a fly around of the

2115
02:09:48,629 --> 02:09:46,159
international space station went super

2116
02:09:50,950 --> 02:09:48,639
smoothly got some fantastic views even

2117
02:09:52,950 --> 02:09:50,960
on our coverage all along the way

2118
02:09:54,870 --> 02:09:52,960
all of the burns performed as expected

2119
02:09:56,470 --> 02:09:54,880
we did have an out of plane burn as well

2120
02:09:58,069 --> 02:09:56,480
that was introduced just to make sure we

2121
02:10:01,030 --> 02:09:58,079
were on the right course but it set us

2122
02:10:02,950 --> 02:10:01,040
up right for that deorbit burn on time

2123
02:10:04,790 --> 02:10:02,960
and uh lo and behold as soon as we got

2124
02:10:07,750 --> 02:10:04,800
out of that blackout period uh even a

2125
02:10:10,229 --> 02:10:07,760
little bit before from the wb-57 that

2126
02:10:12,069 --> 02:10:10,239
those views of the streak uh that was

2127
02:10:14,870 --> 02:10:12,079
the plasma building up on the outside of

2128
02:10:17,350 --> 02:10:14,880
the spacecraft we saw that we saw all

2129
02:10:19,189 --> 02:10:17,360
the all great shoots drogue shoots main

2130
02:10:20,310 --> 02:10:19,199
shoots all deployed with the infrared

2131
02:10:23,589 --> 02:10:20,320
cameras

2132
02:10:25,669 --> 02:10:23,599
and lands on a glassy gulf of mexico the

2133
02:10:27,350 --> 02:10:25,679
waves were perfect

2134
02:10:29,510 --> 02:10:27,360
incredible wind speeds in the recovery

2135
02:10:33,589 --> 02:10:29,520
operations went super smooth all in all

2136
02:10:36,550 --> 02:10:35,109
so we'll stand by uh we're going to

2137
02:10:38,069 --> 02:10:36,560

all four members again despite uh 199

2148
02:11:13,589 --> 02:11:11,520
days in space and coming back to earth

2149
02:11:17,270 --> 02:11:13,599
uh they came out of the capsule with

2150
02:11:19,270 --> 02:11:17,280

now each of the four crew members are on

2159
02:11:37,830 --> 02:11:35,920

wonderful so uh we do have some

2200
02:13:02,950 --> 02:13:00,800
representatives from agencies online

2201
02:13:05,669 --> 02:13:02,960
right now calling in uh to make some

2202
02:13:08,149 --> 02:13:05,679
comments on behalf of the agency first

2203
02:13:09,990 --> 02:13:08,159
we do have kathy leaders who is the

2204
02:13:13,030 --> 02:13:10,000
associate administrator for space

2205
02:13:14,149 --> 02:13:13,040
operations uh here at nasa kathy if you

2206
02:13:16,950 --> 02:13:14,159
can hear me

2207
02:13:19,109 --> 02:13:16,960
your initial thoughts now that uh

2208
02:13:22,870 --> 02:13:19,119
crew 2 has safely returned to earth

2209
02:13:28,629 --> 02:13:22,880
after 199 days and what it means to nasa

2210
02:13:32,629 --> 02:13:30,629
well i'm always amazed i can hold my

2211
02:13:35,350 --> 02:13:32,639
breath for those last 10 minutes of

2212
02:13:36,229 --> 02:13:35,360
re-entry you know i mean that is

2213
02:13:38,790 --> 02:13:36,239
um

2214
02:13:40,790 --> 02:13:38,800
high drama right there and like you

2215
02:13:42,550 --> 02:13:40,800
mentioned several times

2216
02:13:45,669 --> 02:13:42,560
seeing those shoots come out is just an

2217
02:13:47,030 --> 02:13:45,679
amazing thing it is so nice to see than

2218
02:13:49,669 --> 02:13:47,040
that our

2219
02:13:51,910 --> 02:13:49,679
spacex crew 2 astronauts are

2220
02:13:54,310 --> 02:13:51,920
has safely splashed down in the gulf of

2221
02:13:56,310 --> 02:13:54,320
mexico off the coast of florida

2222
02:13:58,790 --> 02:13:56,320
aboard the crew dragon endeavor

2223
02:14:01,750 --> 02:13:58,800
spacecraft and we've now completed the

2224
02:14:03,350 --> 02:14:01,760
agency's second long duration commercial

2225
02:14:04,310 --> 02:14:03,360
commission to the international space

2226
02:14:07,189 --> 02:14:04,320
station

2227
02:14:09,510 --> 02:14:07,199
and what's it's been such a busy but

2228
02:14:11,189 --> 02:14:09,520
exciting time aboard the station

2229
02:14:13,669 --> 02:14:11,199
and which is really our home in

2230
02:14:16,470 --> 02:14:13,679
microgravity you know i'm so proud of

2231
02:14:19,990 --> 02:14:16,480
the nasa and the spacex team for another

2232
02:14:22,229 --> 02:14:20,000
successful return they continue to show

2233
02:14:24,830 --> 02:14:22,239
that amazing amount of dedication to

2234
02:14:27,750 --> 02:14:24,840
each phase of the mission and and just

2235
02:14:29,430 --> 02:14:27,760
safely and methodically moving forward

2236
02:14:30,709 --> 02:14:29,440
and conducting the mission it's just

2237
02:14:32,310 --> 02:14:30,719
amazing

2238
02:14:34,629 --> 02:14:32,320
you know we originally were planning to

2239
02:14:37,189 --> 02:14:34,639
launch our crew 3 mission for short

2240
02:14:39,350 --> 02:14:37,199
overlap on station with crew 2

2241
02:14:40,470 --> 02:14:39,360
but you know we ended up bringing crew 2

2242
02:14:42,790 --> 02:14:40,480
home first

2243
02:14:43,910 --> 02:14:42,800
the team really carefully balanced each

2244
02:14:46,790 --> 02:14:43,920
decision

2245
02:14:48,870 --> 02:14:46,800
and as we looked at which was a safer

2246
02:14:51,430 --> 02:14:48,880
opportunity we decided to bring the crew

2247
02:14:53,669 --> 02:14:51,440
home first given the weather conditions

2248
02:14:54,629 --> 02:14:53,679
and as you can see tonight they were

2249
02:14:56,870 --> 02:14:54,639
great

2250
02:14:59,669 --> 02:14:56,880
um like people said it was like a lake

2251
02:15:00,950 --> 02:14:59,679
out there a very calm lake so

2252
02:15:02,629 --> 02:15:00,960
this was

2253
02:15:04,709 --> 02:15:02,639
the best decision we could have made and

2254
02:15:07,430 --> 02:15:04,719
it was just great to see the crew

2255
02:15:08,950 --> 02:15:07,440
exiting that spacecraft this evening

2256
02:15:10,709 --> 02:15:08,960
you know as you folks have talked about

2257
02:15:14,390 --> 02:15:10,719
the mission set a record for the longest

2258
02:15:15,910 --> 02:15:14,400
space flight by a u.s crude spacecraft

2259
02:15:19,189 --> 02:15:15,920
the crew members were actually in their

2260
02:15:21,990 --> 02:15:19,199
200th fight flight day um even though

2261
02:15:24,390 --> 02:15:22,000
they and they did complete 199

2262
02:15:28,229 --> 02:15:24,400
full days in orbit which surpassed the

2263
02:15:30,470 --> 02:15:28,239
168 days set by spacex's um

2264
02:15:33,910 --> 02:15:30,480
crew 1 mission earlier this year not

2265
02:15:35,750 --> 02:15:33,920
that any of those crew members count

2266
02:15:38,149 --> 02:15:35,760
the crew 2 mission you know launched

2267
02:15:41,030 --> 02:15:38,159
april 23rd on a falcon 9 rocket from

2268
02:15:41,830 --> 02:15:41,040
nasa's kennedy space center and

2269
02:15:44,390 --> 02:15:41,840
uh

2270
02:15:46,069 --> 02:15:44,400
and then docked to the harmony modules

2271
02:15:49,669 --> 02:15:46,079
forward port of the space station on

2272
02:15:51,830 --> 02:15:49,679
april 24th nearly 24 hours after liftoff

2273
02:15:53,109 --> 02:15:51,840
you know the the crew

2274
02:15:55,830 --> 02:15:53,119
2 mission

2275
02:15:58,069 --> 02:15:55,840
has traveled over 84 million miles

2276
02:16:00,950 --> 02:15:58,079
during the mission while their stay on

2277
02:16:03,030 --> 02:16:00,960
orbit and completed over 3 000 orbits

2278
02:16:06,069 --> 02:16:03,040
around the earth and during their time

2279
02:16:08,550 --> 02:16:06,079
on orbit they have contributed to a host

2280
02:16:11,350 --> 02:16:08,560
of science and maintenance activities

2281
02:16:13,430 --> 02:16:11,360
scientific investigations technology

2282
02:16:16,069 --> 02:16:13,440
demonstrations and multiple public

2283
02:16:18,629 --> 02:16:16,079
engagement efforts while aborting the

2284
02:16:20,470 --> 02:16:18,639
onboard the iss vehicle

2285
02:16:22,629 --> 02:16:20,480
they've studied how gaseous flames

2286
02:16:25,109 --> 02:16:22,639
behave in microgravity and one of my

2287
02:16:27,910 --> 02:16:25,119
favorites as an ex-new mexico person

2288
02:16:30,830 --> 02:16:27,920
grew hatch green chiles in the station's

2289
02:16:33,990 --> 02:16:30,840
plant habitat facility and eight space

2290
02:16:35,990 --> 02:16:34,000
tacos they installed briefline robotic

2291
02:16:38,309 --> 02:16:36,000
assistance and even donned virtual

2292
02:16:40,389 --> 02:16:38,319
reality goggles to test new methods of

2293
02:16:43,589 --> 02:16:40,399
exercising in space

2294
02:16:45,349 --> 02:16:43,599
among many other scientific activities

2295
02:16:47,589 --> 02:16:45,359
and the astronauts took hundreds of

2296
02:16:50,230 --> 02:16:47,599
pictures of earth as part of the crew

2297
02:16:51,750 --> 02:16:50,240
earth observation investigation which

2298
02:16:54,309 --> 02:16:51,760
was one of the longest running

2299
02:16:57,030 --> 02:16:54,319
investigations aboard the space station

2300
02:16:59,830 --> 02:16:57,040
which contributes to tracking of natural

2301
02:17:01,990 --> 02:16:59,840
disasters and changes to our home planet

2302
02:17:04,870 --> 02:17:02,000
and most importantly they did that fly

2303
02:17:09,110 --> 02:17:04,880
around on the way home to have us check

2304
02:17:11,349 --> 02:17:09,120
out the state of the iss one more time

2305
02:17:14,469 --> 02:17:11,359
they conducted four spacewalks to

2306
02:17:17,589 --> 02:17:14,479
install deploy and otherwise prepare for

2307
02:17:20,469 --> 02:17:17,599
installation of our new iss rollout

2308
02:17:23,110 --> 02:17:20,479
solar rays and they also saw the arrival

2309
02:17:25,509 --> 02:17:23,120
of seven spacecraft of the space station

2310
02:17:28,870 --> 02:17:25,519
and seven spacecraft departing during

2311
02:17:30,389 --> 02:17:28,880
their six-month stay station is the hub

2312
02:17:32,790 --> 02:17:30,399
up there our

2313
02:17:35,750 --> 02:17:32,800
international hub

2314
02:17:38,790 --> 02:17:35,760
so this splashdown of crew 2 comes just

2315
02:17:40,070 --> 02:17:38,800
before the launch of nasa's spacex crew

2316
02:17:44,150 --> 02:17:40,080
3 mission

2317
02:17:46,549 --> 02:17:44,160
i the the return looked spotless i know

2318
02:17:48,070 --> 02:17:46,559
folks will be wondering about the that

2319
02:17:50,629 --> 02:17:48,080
one

2320
02:17:53,509 --> 02:17:50,639
lagging main parachute and the team will

2321
02:17:54,870 --> 02:17:53,519
be going off and and looking at

2322
02:17:56,709 --> 02:17:54,880
um

2323
02:17:59,830 --> 02:17:56,719
you know how the loading was on the

2324
02:18:02,150 --> 02:17:59,840
chutes and understanding that behavior

2325
02:18:04,629 --> 02:18:02,160
it is behavior we've seen multiple times

2326
02:18:07,030 --> 02:18:04,639
in other tests and usually happens when

2327
02:18:09,349 --> 02:18:07,040
the lines kind of bunch up together

2328
02:18:11,830 --> 02:18:09,359
until the arrow forces kind of open up

2329
02:18:13,349 --> 02:18:11,840
and and spread the shoots and

2330
02:18:15,349 --> 02:18:13,359
the the thing that makes me feel a

2331
02:18:18,230 --> 02:18:15,359
little bit more confident is that the

2332
02:18:20,629 --> 02:18:18,240
loading and the deceleration of the

2333
02:18:22,469 --> 02:18:20,639
spacecraft all looked nominal for us

2334
02:18:23,270 --> 02:18:22,479
which is good news

2335
02:18:25,270 --> 02:18:23,280
but

2336
02:18:25,990 --> 02:18:25,280
we're making this an exciting week for

2337
02:18:27,910 --> 02:18:26,000
us

2338
02:18:29,830 --> 02:18:27,920
and you know one of the key things we'll

2339
02:18:32,309 --> 02:18:29,840
be doing on our launch readiness review

2340
02:18:34,549 --> 02:18:32,319
for the crew 3 mission coming up we'll

2341
02:18:37,190 --> 02:18:34,559
be working through that that launch

2342
02:18:38,709 --> 02:18:37,200
readiness review is tomorrow at starting

2343
02:18:39,669 --> 02:18:38,719
at 7 00 pm

2344
02:18:40,790 --> 02:18:39,679
and

2345
02:18:43,190 --> 02:18:40,800
my uh

2346
02:18:44,629 --> 02:18:43,200
ocon colleagues would be kicking me

2347
02:18:47,110 --> 02:18:44,639
under the desk right now if i didn't

2348
02:18:49,110 --> 02:18:47,120
tell everybody we'll be doing a post

2349
02:18:52,709 --> 02:18:49,120
launch readiness review press conference

2350
02:18:55,349 --> 02:18:52,719
tomorrow evening at 9 30 pm eastern time

2351
02:18:57,990 --> 02:18:55,359
so once again thank you for watching i

2352
02:18:59,910 --> 02:18:58,000
can't tell you how excited i am to see

cosmos and all the colleagues who have

2371
02:19:53,349 --> 02:19:50,800
devoted to the successful mission

2372
02:19:55,510 --> 02:19:53,359
while overcoming the tough time under

2373
02:19:57,990 --> 02:19:55,520
copied 19.

2374
02:20:01,590 --> 02:19:58,000
i'm really relieved that all the crew

2375
02:20:04,469 --> 02:20:01,600
members came back home safely to

2376
02:20:07,270 --> 02:20:04,479
and i do believe they have brought

2377
02:20:11,110 --> 02:20:07,280
tremendous courage and hopes for all of

2378
02:20:13,910 --> 02:20:11,120
us through this successful mission

2379
02:20:18,070 --> 02:20:13,920
akh hoshide served as the commander

2380
02:20:20,389 --> 02:20:18,080
and led the expansion 65 and 36 missions

2381
02:20:22,870 --> 02:20:20,399
over five months

2382
02:20:25,030 --> 02:20:22,880
