00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,399 31st and final mission of 2021 making it 28 00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:54,720 a record-breaking year for launches for 29 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:56,560 us what a way to end the year andy and 30 00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:58,320 and i see that you have a live view of 31 00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,759 the pad right now can you walk us 32 00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:01,920 through the different parts of falcon 9 33 00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,240 and dragon 34 00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,320 yeah absolutely so 35 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,319 our two-stage launch vehicle stands 36 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,239 about 70 meters tall and when fully 37 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,560 fueled holds just over one million 38 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,480 pounds of propellant that the vehicle 39 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:15,840 will burn through in less than three 40 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,400 minutes after liftoff the bottom two 41 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,720 thirds of the vehicle is the first stage 42 00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:22,560 its objective is to accelerate the 43 00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:23,840 vehicle through the earth's atmosphere 44 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,000 to space and then separate from the rest 45 00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:28,000 of the rocket and while today's flight 46 00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:29,360 is going to be the first for this 47 00:02:33,509 --> 00:02:31,360 booster falcon 9 is designed to be 48 00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,519 reusable for the reliable and safe 49 00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:36,000 transport of people payloads and people 50 00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:37,280 and payloads 51 00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,360 into earth orbit and beyond 52 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,640 and as usual we are going to be 53 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,720 attempting to recover the first stage on 54 00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:44,239 our drone ship just read the 55 00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:45,680 instructions that's what you see on 56 00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,680 screen right now 57 00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:49,680 above the first stage is the second 58 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:52,239 stage it has a single merlin vacuum 59 00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:53,840 engine which ignites after the first 60 00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:56,239 stage separates the second stage is what 61 00:02:59,350 --> 00:02:57,760 is what will carry dragon to its 62 00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:59,360 intended orbit allowing the spacecraft 63 00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:01,120 to eventually rendezvous with the 64 00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:03,360 international space station and speaking 65 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:05,440 of dragon it is sitting at the very very 66 00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:08,159 top of the rocket dragon was designed uh 67 00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:09,840 from the beginning to be reused and this 68 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,599 version of dragon is designed for up to 69 00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,840 five flights following a successful 70 00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:15,680 launch this dragon will dock itself to 71 00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:17,519 the international space station it will 72 00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:19,120 join another dragon capsule that's 73 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,519 already attached capsule endurance this 74 00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,280 is the one that launched crew 3 75 00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:25,440 astronauts last month so that's a quick 76 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:26,879 rundown of our launch vehicles i'll send 77 00:03:31,509 --> 00:03:29,200 it back to you megan thanks andy and in 78 00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:31,519 addition to spacex nasa teams both here 79 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,680 in florida and in houston are monitoring 80 00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:35,680 this mission let's go to joshua santora 81 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,680 here at kennedy first joshua you're 82 00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:39,200 listening in as the launch team 83 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:40,879 considers things like weather and safety 84

december 22nd nasa 142 00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:39,120 astronauts rash achary and tom marshburn 143 00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:40,960 will be monitoring their arrival from 144 00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:42,720 the station's cupola 145 00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,280 cargo dragon will will remain attached 146 00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:47,120 to the international space station's 147 00:05:50,469 --> 00:05:48,960 forward port of the harmony module for 148 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:50,479 about one month 149 00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,120 being one of two dragons joining crude 150 00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:55,680 dragon endurance before being packed up 151 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:57,919 with critical science and supplies and 152 00:06:01,830 --> 00:05:59,600 will splash down off the coast of 153 00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,840 florida for that science to be analyzed 154 00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:03,520 back here on earth 155 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,960 everything's still a go from here in 156 00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:06,400 mission control houston and we're 157 00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:07,919 looking forward to welcoming another 158 00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:09,440 vehicle to the international space 159 00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:11,840 station so for now we'll head back out 160 00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:13,759 to kennedy megan 161 00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,680 thanks shaniqua we're now about 16 162 00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:17,919 minutes and counting from liftoff of crs 163 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:21,440 24 on board our more than two dozen 164 00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:23,280 science experiments here's a quick 165 00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:25,280 sample of some including technology that 166 00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:28,990 could one day help wounds heal faster 167 00:08:31,830 --> 00:06:33,260 [Music] 168 00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:31,840 and you saw in that video that college 169 00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:33,599 students are sending experiments to the 170 00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:35,599 orbiting lab and i have two of them here 171 00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:37,839 with me today this is swati ravi from 172 00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:40,080 columbia university as well as caitlyn 173 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,080 harvey from the university of idaho good 174 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,240 morning to you guys good morning so talk 175 00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,080 to me i know that between your two 176 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,240 universities 18 students are sending two 177 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,000 experiments to space can you tell me 178 00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:52,320 about yours swati absolutely so we're 179 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,560 sending up two different bacteria 180 00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,399 that are commonly found in space flight 181 00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,560 environments and also the cause of some 182 00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:00,959 previous astronaut infections and we're 183 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:02,959 really interested in studying how they 184 00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:04,560 interact with each other and also how 185 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,560 their antibiotic resistance changes in 186 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,560 space oh really interesting and caitlin 187 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,399 what about you yeah so for our 188 00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:12,480 experiment we're looking at how 189 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,720 effective different um bacterial 190 00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:17,040 resistant polymer coatings are on high 191 00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:18,959 contact surfaces in microgravity because 192 00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,320 we already know how they behave on earth 193 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:22,399 so we want to compare those yeah it 194 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:23,680 sounds like both of your experiments 195 00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:25,600 have to do with studying how bacteria 196 00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:27,680 grows in space why is it that you guys 197 00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:30,560 wanted to hone in on that yes so 198 00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:33,040 bacterial resistance is a real problem 199 00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:35,519 both in space and here on earth and so 200 00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,920 for us it's important to study 201 00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:39,680 bacteria because 202 00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:41,519 for long-term future space flight it's 203 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:43,279 important that we keep astronauts safe 204 00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:45,200 and healthy and even here on earth the 205 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:47,279 world health organization has flagged 206 00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:48,959 antibiotic resistance as a really 207 00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,720 important challenge for us to solve 208 00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:52,080 right yeah and you hit the nail on the 209 00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:53,760 head you know as as these missions get 210 00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:55,200 longer and longer when we think about 211 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:57,360 mars so and you know this is all 212 00:10:01,829 --> 00:09:59,600 possible through nasa's student payload 213 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,839 opportunity with citizen science or 214 00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,920 spocs program can you tell us what you 215 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:05,600 think about the fact that nasa is 216 00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:07,440 investing in stem and creating this 217 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:09,519 opportunity for you guys yeah i mean i 218 00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:11,760 think it's an excellent incredible 219 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,880 opportunity honestly once in a lifetime 220 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:17,440 it's such an inspiring way to just get 221 00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:19,120 ourselves involved in stem as well as 222 00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:21,120 all the people watching us along for our 223 00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:23,440 journey so it's truly an inspiration and 224 00:10:26,630 --> 00:10:25,120 i think an excellent way to get our 225 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,640 generation involved instead moving 226 00:10:29,590 --> 00:10:28,240 forward that's great and then very 227 00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:29,600 quickly what is it that you hope to 228 00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:31,760 learn from this experiment yes from our 229 00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:34,000 both experiments we're hoping to learn 230 00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:34,880 um 231 00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:37,040 what kinds of antibiotics are best for 232 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:39,360 us to use with astronauts so that we can 233 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:41,360 most effectively treat their infections 234 00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:42,640 and kayla 235 00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:45,040 we're just looking at 236 00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:47,600 potentially reducing the contact risk of 237 00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,519 exposing yourself to bacteria so 238 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:51,440 learning how these polymer coatings work 239 00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:52,560 in different environments and then 240 00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:54,000 applying that to reduce bacterial 241 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:56,079 infections that's great good luck guys 242 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,440 thank you so much for joining us and 243 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,200 congratulations to have this opportunity 244 00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:01,200 even thank you thank you so much 245 00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:03,040 and now let's kick it back over to andy 246 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:05,839 and the crs 24 is the final launch in a 247 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:11,750 yeah as the year comes to an end today 248 00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:14,399 is going to be marking the 31st launch 249 00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,440 of 2021 for spacex and the fifth flight 250 00:11:21,269 --> 00:11:19,200 of dragon to the international space 251 00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:21,279 station this year following the launches 252 00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:24,079 of crew 2 crew 3 and cargo respite 253 00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,800 missions 22 and 23. it's the most 254 00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:28,480 launches along with the most visits to 255 00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:30,160 the station we've ever attempted in a 256 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,279 given year 257 00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:33,760 to give a bit of history dragon has been 258 00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:35,760 flying for 11 years now and made its 259 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:38,720 debut in 2012 as the first private 260 00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:40,880 spacecraft in history to visit the 261 00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,800 international space station since then 262 00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:44,880 it's made 28 trips to and from the 263 00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:46,959 orbiting lab today it's one of the few 264 00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:49,120 vehicles that can deliver significant 265 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:51,680 cargo to the space station and the only 266 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:54,000 vehicle that can deliver cargo from it 267 00:11:58,310 --> 00:11:56,240 falcon 9 and dragon were both designed 268 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:58,320 with re-flight in mind and the vehicle 269 00:12:01,509 --> 00:11:59,920 hardware is built to support multiple 270 00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:01,519 missions with minimal refurbishment in 271 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:04,240 between to date 10 of our crs missions 272 00:12:08,629 --> 00:12:06,720 have flown on reused dragons and while 273 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:08,639 it's the second flight for dragon today 274 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:11,680 having previously flown on crs 22 it is 275 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:14,320 the first flight for our booster it is 276 00:12:18,150 --> 00:12:16,079 actually the only the second time this 277 00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:18,160 year we've debuted a brand new falcon 9 278 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:19,440 first stage 279 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:20,880 to date we've flown 280 00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:23,839 uh we've reflown first stages 78 times 281 00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:26,160 and that includes both the falcon 9 and 282 00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:28,160 falcon heavy flights and we're planning 283 00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:29,760 to recover this one on our drone ship 284 00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:32,560 just with the instructions if successful 285 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:35,040 today it will mark the 100th successful 286 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:38,160 recovery of an orbital class rocket so 287 00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:39,920 we are just under team 288 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:41,839 t minus 10 minutes and counting until 289 00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:43,760 liftoff of the falcon 9 rocket and 290 00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,519 dragon on the next respite mission to 291 00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:47,279 the international space station back to 292 00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:48,399 you megan 293 00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:50,480 andy thank you so much now nasa partners 294

world 335 00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:20,160 will be sending elements associated with 336 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:22,079 its tide cleaning detergent brand to the 337 00:14:29,829 --> 00:14:28,389 the procter and gamble team intends to 338 00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:29,839 test the stability of cleaning 339 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:31,120 ingredients under microgravity 340 00:14:35,509 --> 00:14:33,120 conditions and radiation exposure in 341 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:35,519 space in doing so the company hopes to 342 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,959 gain insights that can improve the 343 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:38,240 production of tide products for 344 00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:40,320 consumers on earth while also furthering 345 00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:42,000 knowledge on the development of laundry 346

national lab 349 00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:49,760 sponsor payloads on this mission go to 350 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:55,829 and the tide experiments is pretty 351 00:14:59,990 --> 00:14:57,600 interesting because many of us probably 352 00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:00,000 have a bottle at home right now dr mark 353 00:15:05,269 --> 00:15:02,800 civic is the ceo of fabric and home care 354 00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:05,279 at proctor and gamble you guys make tide 355 00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:07,040 good morning it's so great to have you 356 00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:08,639 here thanks for having us 357 00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:10,639 so tell us you know how do astronauts 358 00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:12,399 clean their clothes right now 359 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:13,920 unfortunately astronauts actually do not 360 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:15,760 clean their clothes right now and this 361 00:15:18,949 --> 00:15:17,279 resupply mission will actually supply 362 00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:18,959 clothing for them and sometimes they 363 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:20,240 have to wear their clothing up to four 364 00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:21,519 days in advance and you can imagine 365 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:23,920 that's pretty gross so 366 00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:26,320 for long term deep space missions nasa 367 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,160 has partnered with tide 368 00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:30,720 to develop the first detergent for space 369 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:33,600 use for long flight missions 370 00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:35,519 uh because it becomes cost prohibitive 371 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:37,440 to send up so much clothing for a long 372 00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:39,360 long term flight yeah so then how will 373 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:40,639 the experiment work is that the 374 00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:42,480 detergent that they were this is exactly 375 00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:43,199 the 376 00:15:49,509 --> 00:15:46,560 fly this uh this morning 377 00:15:51,590 --> 00:15:49,519 and as the consumer expects performance 378 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:51,600 and cleaning from tide the astronauts 379 00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:53,440 will as well unfortunately astronauts 380 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:55,199 can't go around the store to get a new 381 00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:57,360 bottle of tide when it runs out so our 382 00:16:01,509 --> 00:15:58,959 objective here is in this experiment to 383 00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:01,519 understand stability of tide and 384 00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:03,759 tide infinity specifically for this 385 00:16:07,110 --> 00:16:05,920 experiment and then we 386 00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:07,120 want to learn 387 00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:08,399 about the ingredients and their 388 00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:10,000 stability through microgravity and 389 00:16:14,069 --> 00:16:12,399 radiation for long-term flight duration 390 00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:14,079 and i would guess that if laundry's 391 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:15,440 being done on the space station it would 392 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,440 use less water right because that's a 393 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:19,440 difficult resource up there would that 394 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,959 mean that what we learned from this 395 00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:22,800 experiment could mean less water usage 396 00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,720 for us here on earth that's what we plan 397 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,959 to learn um we're using international 398 00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:28,959 space station as a surrogate for off 399 00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:29,839 flight 400 00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:33,199 off planet uh missions and from there we 401 00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:35,839 want to learn about constrained 402 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:38,000 constraint environments for developing 403 00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:40,639 the next best tide for the consumer 404 00:16:43,829 --> 00:16:42,560 around the globe not just in space but 405 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,839 for 406 00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:45,440 situations in the world where resources 407 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:46,880 are constrained water usage is 408 00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:48,880 constrained and so is energy 409 00:16:54,629 --> 00:16:52,000 if we can get the consumer to to use uh 410 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:54,639 tide infinity in the future for for 411 00:16:59,030 --> 00:16:56,320 future cleaning at lower watch 412 00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:59,040 temperatures uh that'll help society in 413 00:17:01,670 --> 00:17:00,320 general mark thank you so much i can't 414 00:17:03,030 --> 00:17:01,680 wait to see what you guys uncover thank 415 00:17:04,870 --> 00:17:03,040 you thank you 416 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:04,880 but it's not just science that's flying 417 00:17:08,949 --> 00:17:06,720 to the space station we of course send 418 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,959 supplies like food to the crew and 419 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,480 they'll be getting some holiday treats 420 00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:12,240 on this flight things like roasted 421 00:17:17,110 --> 00:17:15,039 turkey spicy green beans smoked seafood 422 00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:17,120 and shellfish and fruit kick to help 423 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,039 them celebrate the holidays they'll also 424 00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:21,039 be getting some presents 425 00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:22,559 all right we are now t-minus five 426 00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:23,919 minutes and counting let's bring back 427 00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:25,839 andy and joshua to walk us through the 428 00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:32,789 thanks megan uh the spacex team is 429 00:17:37,110 --> 00:17:35,600 working no significant issues right now 430 00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:37,120 we're continuing to monitor weather 431 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:38,799 although it is uh trending more and more 432 00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:41,440 towards green as we march towards t0 the 433 00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:43,840 range is also standing by to support at 434 00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:46,080 this point rp1 fuel is completely loaded 435 00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:48,400 on both stages liquid oxygen loading is 436 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,880 currently underway and should complete 437 00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:52,799 around the t minus two minute mark we're 438 00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:54,880 also loading loading helium gas into 439 00:18:00,150 --> 00:17:57,520 both stages falcon 9 uses helium as a 440 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:00,160 pressure to barely fill the vapor 441 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,640 as locks and rp1 are consumed by the 442 00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:05,039 merlin engines during ascent uh helium 443 00:18:08,549 --> 00:18:06,720 load began before the broadcast went 444 00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:08,559 live and we'll continue to top that off 445 00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:10,559 as well until about a minute and a half 446 00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:12,320 before launch 447 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:13,840 and you mentioned that liquid oxygen 448 00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,360 being loaded it's super chilled liquid 449 00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:17,760 oxygen and uh to make sure the engine 450 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:20,320 startup goes well they perform uh engine 451 00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:22,480 chill this began at t minus seven 452 00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:24,880 minutes and a small amount of that locks 453 00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:26,320 is flowed through the merchant the 454 00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:28,960 merlin engines turbo pumps to avoid 455 00:18:32,630 --> 00:18:31,280 thermal shock to that system uh to allow 456 00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:32,640 the full flow of superchilled liquid 457 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:34,799 oxygen when the strike when the clock 458 00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:36,880 strikes zero dragon also began at 459 00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:38,720 startup sequence at t minus 35 minutes 460 00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:40,640 when it coordinated timing with falcon 9 461 00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:42,480 it's currently undergoing vehicle health 462 00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:44,640 checks with the next big step happening 463 00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:46,160 just a moment ago 464 00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:47,679 when dragon transitioned to internal 465 00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:52,870 what we're seeing on screen right now 466 00:18:56,789 --> 00:18:54,720 the clamp arms just underneath the 467 00:18:58,549 --> 00:18:56,799 dragon have 468 00:19:01,669 --> 00:18:58,559 begin to open up and they should be 469 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:01,679 completing fully open right now and the 470 00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:04,640 strong back which is the truss structure 471 00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:06,880 right next to falcon 9 is beginning to 472 00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:09,280 recline away to its pre-launch position 473 00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:11,840 about two degrees away from the vehicle 474 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:13,520 it will continue to recline all the way 475 00:19:15,990 --> 00:19:14,480 back 476 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:16,000 as we 477 00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:17,600 reach t0 478 00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:19,360 to provide clearance for the vehicle to 479 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:24,789 in these 480 00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:26,720 last few minutes falcon 9 is performing 481 00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:28,240 final health checks on his primary 482 00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:30,799 communications avionics and propulsion 483 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:33,039 systems in preparation for flight we 484 00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:34,640 also may hear callouts that the engines 485 00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:36,799 are sufficiently chilled as we get 486 00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:39,280 closer to liftoff 487 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:41,039 the checkouts of the second stage thrust 488 00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:42,799 vector control actuators should begin 489 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:44,960 right about t minus two minutes thirty 490 00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:46,960 seconds uh that's referred to as the 491 00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:48,400 engine wiggle test a fairly 492 00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:50,320 self-explanatory name uh this is where 493 00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:52,320 spacex will move the thruster nozzle not 494 00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:54,320 the thrust nozzles slightly to make sure 495 00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:55,520 the guard the guidance hardware is 496 00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:57,039 locked 497 00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:58,480 the gopher flight 498 00:20:02,470 --> 00:20:00,559 spacex will do the exact same checkouts 499 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:02,480 on the first stage engines just seconds 500 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:04,559 before ignition this is all still on 501 00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:07,280 track weather being go now for a liftoff 502 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:08,760 scheduled for 503 00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:11,679 507.08 eastern time this morning as we 504 00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:13,760 track towards the space station with 505 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:15,120 rendezvous and docking scheduled for 506 00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:17,200 tomorrow morning space station now 507 00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:19,440 tracking over central europe 508 00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:21,039 and we'll be there with this mission for 509 00:20:33,029 --> 00:20:30,950 so at this point we are wrapping up 510 00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:33,039 liquid oxygen loading once that is done 511 00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:35,360 that is all of the properties 512 00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:37,360 of the vehicles 513 00:20:40,789 --> 00:20:38,799 and that is the collar right there so 514 00:20:43,190 --> 00:20:40,799 all all propellants are loaded onto the 515 00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:44,870 we're starting to have 516 00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:46,320 some white clouds building around the 517 00:20:50,870 --> 00:20:49,120 vehicle that is condensed liquid auction 518 00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:50,880 as that super chilled liquid auction 519 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:52,559 reaches the warmer ambient air 520 00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:54,240 temperatures of florida it will start to 521 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:56,720 form those clouds uh normal and expected 522 00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:58,559 for us at this stage in the countdown 523 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:01,120 yeah both continue to go smoothly as we 524 00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:04,080 march towards t0 525 00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:06,159 at t minus one minutes we'll get the 526 00:21:09,990 --> 00:21:08,720 dragon transition to internal power call 527 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:10,000 the falcon 9 computers will enter 528 00:21:13,110 --> 00:21:12,000 startup mode and begin final pre-launch 529 00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:13,120 checks 530 00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:14,240 guiding the rocket through the last 531 00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:28,870 falcon 9's in startup 532 00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:33,029 so there are a couple great call outs 533 00:21:36,789 --> 00:21:34,480 both stages are now pressurizing for 534 00:21:39,350 --> 00:21:36,799 launch uh range remains go the weather 535 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:39,360 did clear earlier and has remained green 536 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:43,200 um so all things also falcon 9 crs-24 537 00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:44,880 go for lunch 538 00:21:48,149 --> 00:21:46,480 that's the launch director calling go 539 00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:48,159 for launch we'll get in all systems go 540 00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:49,919 here in just a few seconds and then 541 00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:09,590 anyways 30 seconds 542 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,870 t-minus 15 seconds 543 00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:15,830 10 544 00:22:17,830 --> 00:22:16,880 9 545 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:17,840 8 546 00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,880 7 547 00:22:21,029 --> 00:22:20,080 6 548 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:21,039 5 549 00:22:23,029 --> 00:22:22,000 4 550 00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:23,039 3 551 00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:23,919 2 552 00:22:27,710 --> 00:22:24,720 1 553 00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:27,720 0 ignition 554 00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:29,200 [Music] 555 00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:31,520 cargo dragon soars with the final supply 556 00:22:43,350 --> 00:22:34,000 run in 2021 to the astronauts aboard the 557 00:22:43,360 --> 00:23:07,350 stage one chamber pressure is nominal 558 00:23:12,630 --> 00:23:10,789 t plus 40 seconds into flight uh falcon 559 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,640 9 and dragon happy birthday now you can 560 00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:14,159 see him passing through the cloud layers 561 00:23:17,750 --> 00:23:15,360 right now 562 00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:17,760 next up in just a few seconds here is 563 00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:19,760 max q this is where the vehicle will 564 00:23:24,770 --> 00:23:21,760 experience the highest amount of 565 00:23:46,310 --> 00:23:24,780 aerodynamic pressures 566 00:23:50,789 --> 00:23:48,710 through that period of high pressure on 567 00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:50,799 the vehicle the engines on the first 568 00:23:55,590 --> 00:23:53,200 stage are now throttling back up 569 00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:55,600 as we continue to make our journey to 570 00:23:58,470 --> 00:23:56,720 orbit 571 00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:58,480 coming up in about a minute are three 572 00:24:03,669 --> 00:24:01,120 events in rapid succession uh first up 573 00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:03,679 is main engine cutoff also known as 574 00:24:08,549 --> 00:24:06,320 engine children stage separation 575 00:24:10,390 --> 00:24:08,559 and then second engine start also known 576 00:24:12,549 --> 00:24:10,400 as ses1 577 00:24:14,950 --> 00:24:12,559 main engine cutoff is where all nine 578 00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:14,960 engines on the first stage will shut off 579 00:24:19,350 --> 00:24:16,799 in preparation for the second defense 580 00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:19,360 stage separation during stage separation 581 00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:21,120 the first and second stages will 582 00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:22,400 separate from one another the first 583 00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:24,720 stage makes its way back to the drone 584 00:24:28,789 --> 00:24:26,559 ship for a landing attempt and the 585 00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:28,799 second stage will ignite its merlin 586 00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:31,440 vacuum engine and continue to boost 587 00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:41,350 again those are going to be happening in 588 00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:43,679 rapid succession in about 15 seconds 589 00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:02,070 nico 590 00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:16,870 in recognition 591 00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:18,390 you heard the callouts we see it on 592 00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:21,360 screen successful main engine cutoff 593 00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:23,440 followed by successful stage separation 594 00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:26,320 and then ignition of our merlin vacuum 595 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:32,070 on the left hand side of the screen the 596 00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:34,000 first stage again it's making its way 597 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,000 back to earth but it's still being 598 00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:38,240 illuminated by the second stage merlin 599 00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:40,400 vacuum engine there 600 00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:41,760 so if you are just joining us you're 601 00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:44,720 watching a live webcast for the 24th 602 00:25:48,390 --> 00:25:46,880 commercial resupply mission to the 603 00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:48,400 international space station for nasa 604 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:51,679 this is spacex's 31st mission for 2021 605 00:25:55,990 --> 00:25:53,440 and the fifth dragon flight to the 606 00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:56,000 international space station this year a 607 00:25:59,269 --> 00:25:57,760 couple of views on the screen the right 608 00:26:03,029 --> 00:25:59,279 hand side of the screen 609 00:26:04,950 --> 00:26:03,039 is a view of the merlin vacuum engine 610 00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:04,960 on the second stage 611 00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:07,200 the dragon capsule 612 00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:09,200 carrying all of the wonderful 613 00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:11,520 holiday treats and science is on the 614 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:14,080 opposite end of that engine again that 615 00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:16,480 is continuing to run smoothly as it 616 00:26:21,190 --> 00:26:18,960 makes its way to orbit on the left-hand 617 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:21,200 side of the screen is the first stage 618 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:23,840 you'll notice some 619 00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:25,440 structures there's two of them on screen 620 00:26:31,029 --> 00:26:29,360 right now those are our 621 00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:31,039 hypersonic grid fins they're positioned 622 00:26:34,630 --> 00:26:32,799 at the top of the first stage booster 623 00:26:37,269 --> 00:26:34,640 there are four of them actually 624 00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:37,279 and those will start to 625 00:26:41,830 --> 00:26:39,360 swivel and move around to make sure that 626 00:26:45,029 --> 00:26:41,840 they are guiding the first stage back 627 00:26:46,630 --> 00:26:45,039 to its targeted landing zone uh for for 628 00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:46,640 today's mission it's going to be the 629 00:26:49,510 --> 00:26:48,480 drone ship just read the instruction 630 00:27:02,870 --> 00:26:49,520 which is 631 00:27:06,870 --> 00:27:04,870 next event for our mission today is 632 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:06,880 going to be the first stage entry burn 633 00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:09,200 it's going to be the first of two burns 634 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:10,640 in order to make its way back to our 635 00:27:14,870 --> 00:27:13,120 drone trip um the first stage has to 636 00:27:17,110 --> 00:27:14,880 execute these two burns the first again 637 00:27:19,669 --> 00:27:17,120 is the entry burn where three of our 638 00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:19,679 merlin engines will reignite this helps 639 00:27:24,789 --> 00:27:22,000 to slow the stage down as it re-enters 640 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:24,799 the upper part of the earth's atmosphere 641 00:27:28,950 --> 00:27:26,880 the second burn is the landing burn this 642 00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:28,960 happens about a minute later 643 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:31,120 this is a single engine burn that will 644 00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:33,120 bring the vehicle speed down rapidly in 645 00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:35,360 order to land on the drone ship so again 646 00:27:40,470 --> 00:27:37,520 the first stage has two burns before it 647 00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:40,480 can make its first landing attempt 648 00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:55,830 as we wait for that event you might be 649 00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:57,039 interested to know that in order to get 650 00:28:00,549 --> 00:27:58,880 into space the rocket actually has to do 651 00:28:03,269 --> 00:28:00,559 more than go up it actually has to go 652 00:28:05,269 --> 00:28:03,279 sideways really really fast 653 00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:05,279 at liftoff gravity is pulling straight 654 00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:07,760 down on the rocket and as we ascend we 655 00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:09,760 tilt the engines a a term called 656 00:28:14,149 --> 00:28:11,760 gimbling and that turns the rocket 657 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:14,159 horizontally so we're still going up but 658 00:28:17,669 --> 00:28:16,320 we're also heading horizontally away 659 00:28:30,630 --> 00:28:17,679 from the launch pad 660 00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:33,430 stage one fps is safe 661 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:35,760 things continue to go smoothly 662 00:28:40,230 --> 00:28:37,760 for both the first and second stages 663 00:28:43,430 --> 00:28:40,240 again the first stage entry burn follow 664 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:56,789 should start in about 10 seconds 665 00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:03,510 stage one entrepreneurs and startup 666 00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:05,909 and there it is three merlin 667 00:29:11,510 --> 00:29:09,760 merlin engines have reignited their uh 668 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:11,520 engines and are now currently slowing 669 00:29:19,269 --> 00:29:13,520 down the first stage this burn is 670 00:29:21,909 --> 00:29:20,710 you can see the velocity on the bottom 671 00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:21,919 left-hand side of the screen we're 672 00:29:26,399 --> 00:29:31,990 stage one as your brand shut down 673 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:34,710 so great news that is burn one of two 674 00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:35,840 complete 675 00:29:39,830 --> 00:29:37,520 uh the falcon 9 first stage is also 676 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:39,840 equipped with four landing legs made of 677 00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:41,840 state of the art carbon fiber with 678 00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:43,600 aluminum honeycomb 679 00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:45,200 they're placed around the base of the 680 00:29:51,669 --> 00:29:47,200 rocket and deployed just prior to 681 00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:53,510 so we are about 60 seconds away from 682 00:29:57,029 --> 00:29:54,960 landing the vehicle 683 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,039 and we're traveling 684 00:30:01,190 --> 00:29:59,679 um a significant velocity right now this 685 00:30:03,029 --> 00:30:01,200 really puts into perspective the 686 00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:03,039 deceleration that the first stage will 687 00:30:06,710 --> 00:30:04,720 experience 688 00:30:08,710 --> 00:30:06,720 in less than the span of a minute will 689 00:30:15,430 --> 00:30:08,720 reduce from twice the speed of a jet all 690 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,269 h1 is transonic 691 00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:21,110 the first stage lander burn is expected 692 00:30:26,549 --> 00:30:23,760 to start here in about 20 seconds 693 00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:26,559 and last for about 25 seconds so during 694 00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:28,320 the duration of that burn we are going 695 00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:30,720 to be listening for the callout for seco 696 00:30:35,590 --> 00:30:33,360 which stands for second engine cutoff 697 00:30:37,029 --> 00:30:35,600 the merlin vacuum engine that you see on 698 00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:37,039 screen we're going to be shutting off 699 00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:38,080 that engine 700 00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:40,480 and then listening for another call out 701 00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:42,480 for a confirmation of good orbit where 702 00:30:52,549 --> 00:30:44,640 one setting stage will coast for a few 703 00:30:57,430 --> 00:30:54,789 stage two sts is they don't have views 704 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:57,440 of the first stage right now we looks 705 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:00,399 like we got it back and the landing burn 706 00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:13,430 in back shutdown 707 00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:21,110 so hopefully we get some visuals 708 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:22,559 uh there it is 709 00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:25,120 so this is the first landing for this 710 00:31:29,909 --> 00:31:27,840 particular booster but the 100th 711 00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:29,919 successful landing for an orbital class 712 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:30,880 rocket 713 00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:32,880 what a way to end off the year 714 00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:35,200 we also heard that the 715 00:31:38,789 --> 00:31:36,640 second engine 716 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:38,799 sorry the second stage engine the merlin 717 00:31:41,909 --> 00:31:40,960 vacuum engine successfully shut off its 718 00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:41,919 engine 719 00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:43,760 and we're going to pause here to see if 720 00:31:50,549 --> 00:31:46,480 we can confirm a good orbit of the 721 00:32:02,310 --> 00:31:52,950 expect to plus the signal cape 722 00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:04,149 so again this is a view 723 00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:06,880 of the merlin vacuum engine 724 00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:08,480 the dragon capsule with all of its 725 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,509 engine 726 00:32:21,590 --> 00:32:19,430 and i am getting confirmation that we do 727 00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:21,600 indeed have a good orbit so the second 728 00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:23,840 stage is going to be coasting for a few 729 00:32:28,950 --> 00:32:26,720 minutes here this is a view 730 00:32:30,389 --> 00:32:28,960 of the unpressurized cargo section of 731 00:32:32,389 --> 00:32:30,399 the dragon 732 00:32:34,549 --> 00:32:32,399 um the second stage right now is making 733 00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:34,559 some small adjustments uh during the 734 00:32:38,149 --> 00:32:36,399 coast phase prior to separation we 735 00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:38,159 should also have video of dragon 736 00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:40,240 separating from the top of the second 737 00:32:44,389 --> 00:32:42,720 stage itself should give us a nice view 738 00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,399 of that 739 00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:46,080 the view we just saw the unpressurized 740 00:32:49,909 --> 00:32:47,840 cargo section as dragon 741 00:32:51,190 --> 00:32:49,919 will slowly depart away from the second 742 00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:51,200 stage 743 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,600 dragon is going to be joining the crew 3 744 00:32:56,870 --> 00:32:55,440 vehicle endurance that is currently 745 00:33:00,149 --> 00:32:56,880 attached to the international space 746 00:33:01,590 --> 00:33:00,159 station and on orbit and as always it's 747 00:33:03,269 --> 00:33:01,600 always exciting to see two dragons 748 00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:03,279 stocked at the space station at the same 749 00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:13,669 speaking of cargo today we'll be 750 00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:14,960 delivering 751 00:33:17,470 --> 00:33:16,240 as part of today's mission we'll be 752 00:33:20,149 --> 00:33:17,480 delivering more than 753 00:33:22,149 --> 00:33:20,159 6500 pounds of science 754 00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:22,159 research crew supplies and vehicle 755 00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:24,000 hardware to the orbiting lab and its 756 00:33:27,830 --> 00:33:26,320 crew this includes all the science and 757 00:33:29,909 --> 00:33:27,840 supplies and holiday trees that we 758 00:33:31,590 --> 00:33:29,919 talked about earlier in the broadcast 759 00:33:35,909 --> 00:33:31,600 and i'm sure the crew is looking forward 760 00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:38,870 so we're just under a minute 761 00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:41,039 for dragon to separate from the top of 762 00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:42,559 the second stage 763 00:33:47,269 --> 00:33:44,799 again this is a cargo mission so there 764 00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:47,279 are no there is no crew aboard the 765 00:33:50,230 --> 00:33:49,200 dragon as part of today's mission in 766 00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:50,240 fact we 767 00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:53,120 will modify the vehicles um 768 00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:55,200 slightly for these types of missions so 769 00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:56,799 there are no seats there are no life 770 00:34:01,909 --> 00:33:59,440 support systems this saves a weight it 771 00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:01,919 also frees up some space for more cargo 772 00:34:06,549 --> 00:34:03,840 and it also allows us to repurpose the 773 00:34:08,230 --> 00:34:06,559 dragon a little bit quicker once it 774 00:34:20,389 --> 00:34:08,240 splashes back down 775 00:34:20,399 --> 00:34:24,470 expected loss of signal bermuda 776 00:34:29,829 --> 00:34:26,950 stage separation 777 00:34:34,310 --> 00:34:32,550 and there it goes 778 00:34:36,190 --> 00:34:34,320 again this camera view is on the second 779 00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:36,200 stage looking at the dragon's 780 00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:37,760 unpressurized 781 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:39,280 cargo section 782 00:34:44,550 --> 00:34:42,320 the dragon has about 783 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:44,560 a day before it makes its way and to the 784 00:34:51,750 --> 00:34:46,879 international space station and docks 785 00:34:55,510 --> 00:34:54,149 but that is going to do it for me here 786 00:34:58,150 --> 00:34:55,520 in hawthorne i'm going to i'm going to 787 00:35:03,829 --> 00:34:58,160 hand it over to shaniqua in houston for 788 00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:05,750 thanks andy and everything is still 789 00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:07,440 going well back here in mission control 790 00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:10,720 houston and right after dragon separated 791 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:13,359 it began a series of automatic checkouts 792 00:35:17,190 --> 00:35:15,119 including small firings of the draco 793 00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:17,200 maneuvers thrusters 794 00:35:21,990 --> 00:35:19,200 the next milestone is no 795 00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:22,000 deploy the nosecone protects the docking 796 00:35:25,990 --> 00:35:23,680 hardware and rendezvous tracking 797 00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:26,000 elements of the top of dragon during 798 00:35:30,870 --> 00:35:28,800 ascent the nosecone deploy uncovers the 799 00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:30,880 four ford bulkhead thrusters which 800 00:35:34,950 --> 00:35:33,200 dragon will use for its major burn 801 00:35:37,430 --> 00:35:34,960 maneuvers to catch up with the space 802 00:35:39,349 --> 00:35:37,440 station once open the nose cone will 803 00:35:42,150 --> 00:35:39,359 stay in that position until the very end 804 00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:42,160 of its mission closing prior to re-entry 805 00:35:48,790 --> 00:35:44,400 to provide some additional protection to 806 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,630 so right now we're waiting to hear 807 00:35:56,829 --> 00:35:52,800 confirmation that the nodes clone is 808 00:36:02,950 --> 00:35:59,829 deployed and after confirmation we'll 809 00:36:07,510 --> 00:36:02,960 have one of the program managers here 810 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:32,390 join me virtually sorry 811 00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:34,310 you're currently seeing live views of 812 00:36:38,069 --> 00:36:35,760 the international space station flight 813 00:36:41,349 --> 00:36:38,079 control room you currently see flight 814 00:36:43,349 --> 00:36:41,359 director adi boulos standing as we wait 815 00:37:29,030 --> 00:36:43,359 for that final confirmation of nosecone 816 00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:31,190 now joining me on the phone is manager 817 00:37:35,270 --> 00:37:32,640 of the international space station 818 00:37:38,230 --> 00:37:35,280 transportation integration office phil 819 00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:38,240 dempsey hi phil can you outline some of 820 00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:40,000 the major activities for the crew with 821 00:37:47,829 --> 00:37:45,589 sure thanks shaniqua um first of all let 822 00:37:49,270 --> 00:37:47,839 me just say you know it's a great to 823 00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:49,280 watch this outstanding launch you know 824 00:37:53,349 --> 00:37:51,280 kind of watching through the weather and 825 00:37:55,750 --> 00:37:53,359 managed to get a shot through and uh 826 00:37:57,589 --> 00:37:55,760 great to see dragon catch up tomorrow 827 00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,599 you know this mission enables well over 828 00:38:01,349 --> 00:37:59,920 500 hours of research 829 00:38:03,349 --> 00:38:01,359 some of which actually has to be 830 00:38:05,829 --> 00:38:03,359 completed before the vehicle undocks 831 00:38:08,150 --> 00:38:05,839 again in about 30 days so the samples 832 00:38:10,230 --> 00:38:08,160 can be returned to investigators 833 00:38:11,829 --> 00:38:10,240 as always research is a key activity 834 00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:11,839 during this mission 835 00:38:17,349 --> 00:38:13,839 we've also got the transfer of two 836 00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:17,359 external payloads scp-87 and h8 from the 837 00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:20,800 dragon trunk to the locations on ifs 838 00:38:24,310 --> 00:38:22,400 and then there's work to prepare for 839 00:38:26,069 --> 00:38:24,320 spacewalks planned later in the 840 00:38:27,829 --> 00:38:26,079 increment the coming months 841 00:38:30,550 --> 00:38:27,839 there's several maintenance activities 842 00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:30,560 with hardware showing up on this mission 843 00:38:34,950 --> 00:38:32,640 and we have a software transition plan 844 00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:34,960 so you know overall a lot really going 845 00:38:39,430 --> 00:38:37,280 on during the 30 days or so that this 846 00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:39,440 this rs24 is on 847 00:38:47,910 --> 00:38:45,990 that's awesome thank you phil and of 848 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:47,920 course these resupply missions and you 849 00:38:51,589 --> 00:38:49,760 you know deliver science as you 850 00:38:54,310 --> 00:38:51,599 mentioned hardware and other cargo to 851 00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:54,320 the station but with these critical 852 00:38:58,230 --> 00:38:56,480 deliveries to the station 853 00:39:00,790 --> 00:38:58,240 how important are they for the 854 00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:00,800 astronauts you said 500 855 00:39:05,750 --> 00:39:03,359 over 500 uh research activities and 856 00:39:09,109 --> 00:39:05,760 experiments how important is that for us 857 00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:09,119 to do on the international space station 858 00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:10,720 yeah so these these missions are 859 00:39:14,870 --> 00:39:12,079 absolutely critical you know the 860 00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:14,880 international space station is operating 861 00:39:19,910 --> 00:39:17,440 for the purpose of doing research and 862 00:39:22,790 --> 00:39:19,920 technology demonstration 863 00:39:26,310 --> 00:39:22,800 so uh you know we've got over 24 864 00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:26,320 different experiments going up on this 865 00:39:31,589 --> 00:39:28,320 these these five six hundred hours of 866 00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:31,599 crew time that enables are key to what 867 00:39:34,470 --> 00:39:33,119 the astronauts are there for in the 868 00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:34,480 first place 869 00:39:38,390 --> 00:39:36,480 um you know and what's unique about 870 00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:38,400 these spacex missions is that we get the 871 00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:40,480 return science back down in about a 872 00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:41,280 month 873 00:39:45,109 --> 00:39:43,280 um so operation of these experiments 874 00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:45,119 around this full mission timeline is 875 00:39:47,750 --> 00:39:46,240 critical 876 00:39:49,589 --> 00:39:47,760 um you know in addition we've got 877 00:39:51,030 --> 00:39:49,599 hardware going up as you heard which is 878 00:39:53,430 --> 00:39:51,040 critical to some of the maintenance 879 00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:53,440 activities we've got some 880 00:39:58,470 --> 00:39:55,760 some hardware that's going up to get one 881 00:40:00,470 --> 00:39:58,480 of our exercise devices uh that new 882 00:40:03,270 --> 00:40:00,480 spare back in place for it 883 00:40:05,190 --> 00:40:03,280 and some additional hardware for 884 00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:05,200 our emu's which are used for the 885 00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:07,200 spacewalks that we've got but then 886 00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:09,040 there's also updated supplies for the 887 00:40:13,109 --> 00:40:11,520 crew of course uh you know 888 00:40:14,630 --> 00:40:13,119 christmas dinner hopefully and some 889 00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:14,640 christmas presents for the crew which is 890 00:40:18,309 --> 00:40:16,240 always a treat for them to get on these 891 00:40:19,829 --> 00:40:18,319 types of missions so absolutely all of 892 00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:19,839 this is critical to keep the crew 893 00:40:24,230 --> 00:40:21,359 occupied doing what they're there for in 894
