1 00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:32,709 all right so we're just about 21 minutes 2 00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:35,200 away from our arrival at waypoint one so 3 00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:36,880 if you're just tuning in we're already 4 00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,280 well into our kind of final rendezvous 5 00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:41,840 steps uh we passed waypoint zero which 6 00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:44,079 was just 400 meters below the station 7 00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,840 and dragon right now is executing the 8 00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:47,920 maneuver that's swinging it out front 9 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:50,559 and over top until we're directly in 10 00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,960 front of that docking port on the space 11 00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:54,719 facing side of the harmony module so 12 00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:56,800 we've got about 20 minutes until we get 13 00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:57,760 there 14 00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,640 the teams here in hawthorne 15 00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:02,640 monitoring the crew on board dragon 16 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,760 monitoring we're looking over their 17 00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:05,280 shoulders right now 18 00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:07,680 and the teams out in 19 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,400 mission control houston also standing by 20 00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:12,400 as we're well into our integrated 21 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:15,119 operations let's do a quick check in 22 00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:17,200 with everybody over there 23 00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:18,960 shaniqua give us an update how's the 24 00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:20,799 team in mission control houston doing 25 00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:22,240 how's the crew doing as we get through 26 00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:29,030 yeah thanks dan um so far uh this 27 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:31,200 afternoon the crew on the station is 28 00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:33,119 doing good and so is the flight 29 00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,640 directors and the flight controllers in 30 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:36,240 housto uh mission control houston 31 00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:39,360 currently crew woke up on station around 32 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:42,560 3 30 p.m central time after a nap period 33 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,040 and began per begin preparations for 34 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,280 crew 4's arrival 35 00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,360 this included as you discussed earlier 36 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,439 some casas or some temporary living 37 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:53,600 quarters for the additional crew members 38 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:55,600 and setting up that special software in 39 00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:57,520 the station's cupola to track dragon's 40 00:02:02,550 --> 00:01:59,759 approach and docking nasa astronaut and 41 00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,560 current station commander tom marshburn 42 00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:04,159 will be the prime 43 00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:06,079 be prime for monitoring and making sure 44 00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:08,160 dragon freedom stays in the expected 45 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:10,080 zones 46 00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:12,160 once dragon is docked it will join five 47 00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:14,319 parked um vehicles at the international 48 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,040 space station including spacex dragon 49 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,680 endurance which was which is what 50 00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:21,520 brought up crew 3 astronauts back in 51 00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,229 the northrop grumman cygnus space 52 00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:28,480 freighter the russians and russia's 53 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:31,680 soyuz ms-21 cruise ship and progress 79 54 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:34,080 and 80 resupply ships 55 00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:36,400 again after doc marshman will also be 56 00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:39,360 primed to start hatch opening operations 57 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:41,360 he'll start by up opening the large 58 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:43,840 hatch on the node 2 zenith port giving 59 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,440 him access to the pressurized mating 60 00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:47,519 adapter the crew will then have to 61 00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:49,519 pressurize the vestibule which is that 62 00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,280 small space between the hatches on the 63 00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:53,599 dragon and the space station 64 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:55,440 this was previously exposed to vacuum 65 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,360 prior to docking so the crew will need 66 00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,280 to fill it with air and make sure its 67 00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,280 pressure is nearly equal to that of the 68 00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:03,280 atmospheric pressure on the dragon and 69 00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:04,480 the station 70 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,959 again dan mentioned 14.7 psi 71 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,560 marshburn will also 72 00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,560 allow will have us 73 00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:14,239 release a small valve on the station's 74 00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,920 hatch to slowly introduce the air on the 75 00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:17,760 station's festival and flight 76 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,360 controllers here in mission control 77 00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,280 houston will monitor and verify the 78 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:23,040 pressure readings to make sure 79 00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,480 everything is leak-free before we get 80 00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,959 ready to open up the hatches 81 00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,640 currently nasa flight director audi 82 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,159 boulos is leading the team here in 83 00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:32,159 mission control houston for dragon's 84 00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,640 approach and docking 85 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,879 right next to him is the capcom 86 00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,560 alex kanellinkos who will be 87 00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:40,319 communicating with the crew aboard the 88 00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:44,949 right now there are currently seven 89 00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:47,280 astronauts and cosmonauts living and 90 00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:48,480 working on the international space 91 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:52,080 station including nasa's kayla baron 92 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:54,959 raja achary tom marshburn 93 00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:57,280 european space agency astronaut matthias 94 00:04:01,030 --> 00:03:58,480 maurer 95 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,040 and ross cosma's cosmonauts sergey 96 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,920 korsakoff oleg artemyev and denise 97 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:05,920 modvayev 98 00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:07,680 crew 4 joining will bring the crew 99 00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:10,400 compliment to 11. 100 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:12,560 again we're very excited to get the crew 101 00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:15,840 aboard and that's it dan we're looking 102 00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:16,880 good over here in mission control 103 00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:18,320 houston back over to you guys in 104 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:20,079 hawthorne 105 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:22,479 all right thanks so much anika and for 106 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:25,360 everybody just now tuning in across nasa 107 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,639 social media accounts welcome we got 108 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:30,560 this view just for you 109 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:32,800 this is a look at the international 110 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,280 space station from the dragon spacecraft 111 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:38,160 freedom as it's in the final stages of 112 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:39,360 its approach 113 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,320 we've essentially moved out directly in 114 00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:44,639 front of the space station right now so 115 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:45,840 we're looking 116 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:48,479 uh right at a docking port on the no two 117 00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:50,160 forward where another dragon is 118 00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:53,040 currently docked we're gonna continue up 119 00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:56,000 about 90 degrees until dragons directly 120 00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:58,880 over top of the station just 220 meters 121 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,280 away from its docking port and then at 122 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,680 that point we'll be at what's known as 123 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:05,759 waypoint one 124 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,320 pretty soon the teams are going to do 125 00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:10,720 just a final go no go to proceed past 126 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:13,840 waypoint one and on to waypoint two 127 00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,240 at which point we'll stop just 20 meters 128 00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:18,400 away from the space station's docking 129 00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:21,280 port do a final check on dragon systems 130 00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:24,240 spacex on dragging the ground no status 131 00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,720 update to report just checking in 132 00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:28,639 vehicle continues to look healthy as we 133 00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:56,150 we're getting a look at the the core 134 00:06:08,710 --> 00:05:58,319 jake vendel who's 135 00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:11,189 and right on cue here comes the sun 136 00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:12,160 we're now 137 00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:23,749 if you uh look closely there you can see 138 00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:26,479 the various draco thrusters 139 00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:29,280 uh firing there's a total of 16 of them 140 00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:31,199 on board dragon 141 00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:34,319 12 of them are located around the body 142 00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:36,639 or the base of dragon 143 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:38,800 and then there are four located 144 00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:40,479 around the forward hash those are the 145 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:52,230 since dragon is approaching the space 146 00:06:58,469 --> 00:06:55,680 station uh whenever you see those uh 147 00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:58,479 those forward thrusters uh fire it's 148 00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:00,880 basically you know course correcting 149 00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:03,280 almost like slowing dragon down 150 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:04,960 but it looks like we're primarily 151 00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:07,759 utilizing the bulkhead thrusters we're 152 00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:09,919 not the volca bulkhead the um the side 153 00:07:17,589 --> 00:07:15,270 yeah we'll be using those service 154 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,599 sections for 155 00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:19,360 because we're doing what's essentially a 156 00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:21,919 translational maneuver so in 157 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:23,840 in your orbital mechanics it's moving 158 00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:26,319 side to side up down 159 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:28,319 and then we'll use the we've used those 160 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:30,000 forward bulkheads for all of our kind of 161 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:31,120 pushing 162 00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:33,520 for us as we as we were chasing down the 163 00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,360 space station so 164 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:37,280 as we're in this sunrise lighting 165 00:07:40,950 --> 00:07:39,120 conditions are perfect to see some of 166 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:40,960 those thruster firings you're saying it 167 00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:43,440 is dragon just autonomously fine tunes 168 00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,039 its path 169 00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:47,919 right up until we hit waypoint one in a 170 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:56,869 the propellants that we use on dragon 171 00:08:01,830 --> 00:07:59,680 are actually loaded onto dragon several 172 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:01,840 days a couple weeks actually prior to 173 00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:04,319 launch itself we do all of that uh prop 174 00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:06,879 loading over at a place called area 175 00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:11,680 59 or dragon land which is um at 176 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,199 kennedy and 177 00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:15,440 uh those propellants are are 178 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:16,960 monomethylhydrazine 179 00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,639 and nitrogen tetroxide and they 180 00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:22,879 combust instantaneously when they meet 181 00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,360 each other so there's basically 182 00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:27,759 you know two different types of holding 183 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:31,039 tanks for that those propellants um and 184 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:34,479 then whenever dragon quickly flows those 185 00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:37,760 propellants into the combustion chamber 186 00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:40,399 of the draco engines 187 00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:43,200 because of their properties they boom 188 00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:45,279 fire as soon as they touch this is 189 00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:48,000 different than how we 190 00:08:52,630 --> 00:08:50,880 make fire on falcon 9 for example 191 00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:52,640 in that case 192 00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,000 with the liquid oxygen and the 193 00:09:01,670 --> 00:08:58,800 rocket-grade kerosene the rp-1 194 00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:01,680 those two propellants do not ignite when 195 00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,720 they touch 196 00:09:06,630 --> 00:09:04,399 you actually need an ignition source so 197 00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:06,640 for that we use t-tub 198 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:07,440 but 199 00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:10,399 in space we don't want to you know use 200 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:13,279 an ignition source um this version where 201 00:09:18,710 --> 00:09:15,760 we use what are called hypergolic fuels 202 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:18,720 or excuse me hypergolic propellants um 203 00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:22,080 is safer for space and uh they and they 204 00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:24,399 it's much faster of a 205 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:27,200 of a reaction and as you can see with 206 00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:30,080 these tiny bursts uh from various 207 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:32,560 directions we need dragon to be to be 208 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:35,200 quick we need those thrusters to um you 209 00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:37,360 know they're really more like impulses 210 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:40,000 uh more so than you know just flat out 211 00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:41,600 burns 212 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,399 yeah those those hyper goals come with 213 00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:47,040 the additional benefit of not requiring 214 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:49,360 not requiring what's called cryogenic 215 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:51,279 storage so 216 00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:54,160 as you see falcon 9 fuel we're using 217 00:10:00,790 --> 00:09:57,360 that ultra densified locks and to keep 218 00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:00,800 fuels super cold takes a lot of energy a 219 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,800 lot of power 220 00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:04,959 and you can do that when you have an 221 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,680 entire ground support system maintaining 222 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:09,920 a cryogenic fuel inside a small space 223 00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:12,959 like a spacecraft not really feasible 224 00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:14,720 which is why you'll it's extremely 225 00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:17,360 common to see these hypergolic fuels 226 00:10:20,790 --> 00:10:19,200 used for onboard thrusters we use the 227 00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:20,800 exact same mix 228 00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:23,519 in the european service module for the 229 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,550 and in fact almost the opposite of 230 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:32,720 the falcon 9 fuels we actually have 231 00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:35,519 heaters that we have on the tanks 232 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:38,560 um for those hyperbolic fuels just to as 233 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,560 you can store them much closer to almost 234 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:42,160 at room temperature 235 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:45,120 which is one of their real real draws 236 00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:46,880 for use in addition to the simplicity 237 00:10:55,350 --> 00:10:48,320 that kate talked about where you don't 238 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:57,030 so we're still swinging around we're 239 00:11:02,069 --> 00:10:58,959 just about 10 and a half minutes away 240 00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:02,079 from our uh our 241 00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:03,920 waypoint number one which will put 242 00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:06,800 dragon just 220 meters above the space 243 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,760 station 244 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:09,839 it'll still be outside of what's known 245 00:11:14,230 --> 00:11:12,240 as the keep out sphere that's our 246 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:14,240 second imaginary shape around the space 247 00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:16,480 station that just helps to govern 248 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:17,600 uh the 249 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:19,600 really the rules for approaching 250 00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:21,680 spacecraft before you're in the keepout 251 00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:22,800 sphere 252 00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:24,800 you have to be 253 00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:27,440 on what's essentially a four orbit or 254 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,000 about a six hour free safe trajectory 255 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:31,920 where if we completely lost control of 256 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:34,079 dragon it wouldn't move inside of that 257 00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:35,040 sphere 258 00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:38,079 uh which is about 200 meters in radius 259 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:39,760 around the station and so what you're 260 00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:41,279 looking at this is the maneuver we're on 261 00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:42,399 right now we're a little more than 262 00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:45,440 halfway up that uh kind of half circle 263 00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:48,079 line that you see on the left as we've 264 00:11:52,230 --> 00:11:49,839 moved from waypoint zero and we're 265 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:52,240 moving on up to waypoint one so we've 266 00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:54,000 already moved out directly in front 267 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:56,320 we're now moving directly over the 268 00:12:04,069 --> 00:11:59,279 docking port on node 2 where dragon 269 00:12:10,550 --> 00:12:07,269 so the the joint the integrated teams 270 00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:10,560 here at mcc accent over in houston 271 00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:13,680 are doing joint polls 272 00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:14,959 it's one of 273 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:16,560 everybody's favorite things in space 274 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:19,760 flight is go no goes 275 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,240 and so they do these joint polls and 276 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,399 we're just constantly assessing not only 277 00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:26,480 making sure dragon's ready 278 00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,720 but all the systems on board station are 279 00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:30,320 ready we do 280 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:32,240 a couple of 281 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:34,560 configurations to the station 282 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:37,440 to get ready for the docking we do 283 00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:39,920 what's called feathering just a special 284 00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:42,399 orientation of the solar arrays to help 285 00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:44,800 give them additional protection from any 286 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:47,600 uh plumes or just those thruster firings 287 00:12:51,269 --> 00:12:48,720 those can 288 00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:51,279 leave a residue if you don't and that's 289 00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:53,760 any spacecraft that's flying and so we 290 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,320 always orient the solar arrays 291 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,959 we also are going to be changing up how 292 00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:00,399 we 293 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:03,120 do the attitude control on station 294 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:05,040 during this final approach typically 295 00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:07,040 we're using the large gyroscopes on the 296 00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:09,040 us section just for nominal attitude 297 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:10,480 control 298 00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:12,959 and then when we get into the actual 299 00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:14,639 final approach and docking 300 00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:17,200 we hand over that control to the 301 00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:20,079 thrusters on the russian segment 302 00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:21,600 who can provide 303 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:23,440 a much more kind of fine-tuned 304 00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:25,279 propulsive attitude control for that 305 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:52,790 so 306 00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:54,470 and just checking in we're about seven 307 00:14:00,389 --> 00:13:58,480 minutes 40 seconds away from the arrival 308 00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:00,399 at waypoint one dragon 309 00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:13,269 at this point dragon using a couple of 310 00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:14,560 different 311 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:16,560 navigational tools to 312 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:39,030 and we're seven minutes away from 313 00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:40,560 waypoint one 314 00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:42,480 again as everything continues to look 315 00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:44,560 good on dragon freedom 316 00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:46,160 thrusters 317 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:47,920 performing nominally we've got all the 318 00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:49,680 navigational tools that we need for 319 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:51,279 final approach 320 00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:53,680 we'll be able to move in from waypoint 321 00:15:03,269 --> 00:14:57,040 one down to waypoint number two 322 00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:05,750 and then we will stop at waypoint 2 323 00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:07,440 and the teams will do 324 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:09,199 just a final check-in 325 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:10,560 and they'll give the go for final 326 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:20,790 and then after 327 00:15:24,069 --> 00:15:22,320 final approach is complete again we'll 328 00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,079 be moving at a pretty slow pace we'll 329 00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:26,880 get that initial contact uh dragon using 330 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:29,199 the soft capture system to interlock 331 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,360 with the international docking adapter 332 00:15:34,150 --> 00:15:33,120 then that soft capturing will start to 333 00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:34,160 retract 334 00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:35,759 bring the spacecraft in and then we get 335 00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:37,199 ready for 336 00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:39,199 what's called the hard mate where we 337 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:41,600 drive 12 hooks 338 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,519 that will securely hold dragon to the 339 00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:45,360 docking port 340 00:15:48,230 --> 00:15:47,040 six of those hooks have actually already 341 00:15:50,150 --> 00:15:48,240 been used 342 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,160 on this flight they hold down the 343 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:52,639 docking or the nose cone during the 344 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:55,120 ascent portion and then those are one of 345 00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:56,800 the first 346 00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:58,240 uh real 347 00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,759 checkouts or one of the first real 348 00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:01,920 operations after dragon separates from 349 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:04,399 falcon 9 is to open those hooks and get 350 00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:05,759 the nose cone open 351 00:16:20,389 --> 00:16:08,240 revealing all of our navigation tools in 352 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,870 oh as dragon we just started to move out 353 00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:25,199 of view there we got another view here 354 00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:28,079 we can see that it is slowly but surely 355 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,839 making its approach to the international 356 00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:31,440 space station 357 00:16:36,069 --> 00:16:34,560 once again this is the crew 4 crew a 358 00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:36,079 long duration mission to the 359 00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:37,920 international space station 360 00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:40,880 they launched earlier today uh actually 361 00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:42,560 just this morning 362 00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:47,600 we had liftoff at 12 52 a.m pacific time 363 00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:49,519 and everything 364 00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:50,480 was 365 00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:53,279 super go for our conditions you know as 366 00:16:57,189 --> 00:16:55,120 we talked about before 367 00:16:59,269 --> 00:16:57,199 weather is always a determining factor 368 00:17:02,550 --> 00:16:59,279 and whether or not we get to go to space 369 00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:02,560 uh and while weather at the cape was 370 00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:04,319 a little challenging throughout the week 371 00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:08,559 um we were able to get the crew 4 crew 372 00:17:13,750 --> 00:17:10,880 out with you know really gorgeous 373 00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:13,760 conditions for a nighttime launch 374 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:14,880 and 375 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:16,720 everything has been going really well 376 00:17:22,390 --> 00:17:19,439 very smoothly the crew had a sleep 377 00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:22,400 period uh you know just a scheduled 378 00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:24,720 period where they had to go to sleep in 379 00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:27,439 preparation for docking activities which 380 00:17:32,789 --> 00:17:30,000 we are you know coming up to 381 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:32,799 um they've had two meals at this point 382 00:17:38,230 --> 00:17:35,840 uh and as of right now they are buckled 383 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:38,240 into their seats uh with their 384 00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:39,840 spacesuits on 385 00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:42,720 and uh they are monitoring the approach 386 00:17:46,470 --> 00:17:44,880 of dragon capsule to the international 387 00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:46,480 space station 388 00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,559 dragon is fully autonomous so it is 389 00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:50,240 flying itself right now 390 00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:54,320 the crew acts as a backup to 391 00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:57,679 the system essentially but uh dragon is 392 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:00,559 doing all the calculations in real time 393 00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:02,640 taking all the data coming in from the 394 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:04,960 station from mission control center here 395 00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,280 in hawthorne from mission control center 396 00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:08,880 in houston 397 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:10,799 all of these inputs analyzing them in 398 00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:12,480 real time and making those course 399 00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:14,480 corrections which we just saw there 400 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:16,240 that's what happens whenever we we see 401 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:19,440 those draco thrusters firing and 402 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:22,559 that's essentially just dragon 403 00:18:27,430 --> 00:18:24,799 steering itself uh to 404 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:27,440 the next location that it has to go to 405 00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:34,950 and we should be just about three 406 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:41,270 after that we'll just be about 220 407 00:18:45,590 --> 00:18:43,679 meters right now we're 250 meters away 408 00:18:47,350 --> 00:18:45,600 and so even as it's making this kind of 409 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:47,360 swing up and around it's moved in a 410 00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:48,720 little bit closer 411 00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:50,799 that 400 meter range and we're down at 412 00:19:01,830 --> 00:18:58,630 then things do pick up after we get to 413 00:19:03,669 --> 00:19:01,840 waypoint one we we move in about 200 414 00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:03,679 more meters until we hit waypoint two 415 00:19:06,710 --> 00:19:05,840 stopping just about 20 meters 60 feet or 416 00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:06,720 so 417 00:19:19,430 --> 00:19:09,280 the docking port and then we wait for 418 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:22,630 then after they get docked there's 419 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:25,120 a flurry of activity that happens both 420 00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:28,320 inside dragon and on the station side uh 421 00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:30,160 on board dragon they'll get to go to dog 422 00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:32,160 for get out of their suits and they set 423 00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:33,679 them up to dry 424 00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:36,640 essentially uh attaching the fan base on 425 00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:38,960 the big loop approach one and soft 426 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,120 capture ring extension will begin 427 00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:43,280 shortly dragon will continue approach to 428 00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:57,590 the core here in 429 00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:00,320 hawthorne jake vandal 430 00:20:04,390 --> 00:20:02,720 bendel 431 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:04,400 giving the crew dragon freedom 432 00:20:07,909 --> 00:20:06,400 astronauts a heads up that 433 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:07,919 we're gonna just proceed right past 434 00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:10,000 waypoint one which will hit in under a 435 00:20:14,789 --> 00:20:12,000 minute and a half from now and move 436 00:20:17,110 --> 00:20:14,799 directly in towards waypoint two 437 00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:17,120 and that soft capturing is gonna extend 438 00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:19,120 out from the docking mechanism on dragon 439 00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:20,720 that's what's going to make that initial 440 00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:22,159 contact 441 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:25,039 it's essentially three large metal pedal 442 00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:26,640 like structures 443 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:28,559 that are going to interlock with the 444 00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:30,880 international docking adapter and after 445 00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:32,720 they make that initial contact it'll 446 00:20:37,510 --> 00:20:35,760 retract bring dragon enclosed 447 00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:37,520 essentially 448 00:20:42,149 --> 00:20:40,240 right up until forming a perfect seal 449 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:42,159 and then we can enable those hard 450 00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:44,799 capture rings 12 in total to securely 451 00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:52,310 45 seconds until 452 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,950 and we'll get an updated time after we 453 00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:05,120 get through 8.1 but we should be just 454 00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:35,029 [Music] 455 00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:37,270 you can see lots of draco thruster 456 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:46,549 and we're just about to weigh point one 457 00:21:51,029 --> 00:21:48,710 and we got confirmation so we're through 458 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:51,039 waypoint one 459 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,630 these are primarily the service section 460 00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:02,880 uh draco thrusters that are firing 461 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:05,600 essentially meaning they are located on 462 00:22:09,909 --> 00:22:07,120 the sides of dragon 463 00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:09,919 as opposed to the forward draco 464 00:22:14,789 --> 00:22:13,440 thrusters which are located at the top 465 00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:14,799 of dragon 466 00:22:19,909 --> 00:22:17,919 under the nose cone and around the 467 00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:19,919 around the hatch 468 00:22:26,310 --> 00:22:23,440 uh now um you know with waypoint one 469 00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:26,320 complete uh initial contact station 470 00:22:38,549 --> 00:22:28,480 spacex on the big loop expect 471 00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:46,710 station copies 472 00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:48,549 all right so that initial contact 473 00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:50,480 between dragon and the international 474 00:22:54,950 --> 00:22:53,360 space station uh is expected in about 30 475 00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:54,960 minutes 476 00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:56,320 now before 477 00:23:01,590 --> 00:22:59,200 uh before reaching waypoint one mission 478 00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:01,600 op mission operators conducted a go no 479 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:03,679 go stationed on the big loop station is 480 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:12,710 all right we just heard uh tom marshburn 481 00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:24,950 all right good news there um so 482 00:23:29,350 --> 00:23:26,880 conducted a poll to allow dragon to 483 00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:29,360 begin that approach to waypoint two uh 484 00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:31,600 which is located inside that keep out 485 00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:34,960 sphere which is about 20 meters away 486 00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:36,400 from the space station so we keep 487 00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:38,640 talking about these invisible shapes 488 00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:41,440 they're all intended uh primarily for 489 00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:43,440 safety of the crew both on board dragon 490 00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:45,520 and onboard station 491 00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:47,600 yeah and we we do this with every 492 00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:50,400 vehicle crew and cargo 493 00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:52,000 where we just have these checkpoints 494 00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:53,919 built in and you you put it beautiful 495 00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:56,320 earlier it's very similar to a countdown 496 00:24:01,269 --> 00:23:58,880 for launch where we have these times we 497 00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:01,279 have these moments built in to make sure 498 00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:02,880 all the different teams are in sync 499 00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:04,480 because we're constantly 500 00:24:07,909 --> 00:24:06,000 not just making sure that everything's 501 00:24:10,149 --> 00:24:07,919 looking good on dragon but also that all 502 00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:10,159 the systems on board the space station 503 00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:11,600 are ready to go that's why we're in what 504 00:24:17,269 --> 00:24:15,120 we call these integrated operations and 505 00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:17,279 as i've said a couple of times 506 00:24:22,630 --> 00:24:19,760 we're gonna be doing it slow and steady 507 00:24:24,390 --> 00:24:22,640 at this point um right now we're just 508 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:24,400 about 509 00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:26,960 170 meters away from the station we're 510 00:24:31,029 --> 00:24:29,520 gonna get to waypoint two and pause and 511 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:31,039 then we're gonna wait for that final go 512 00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:33,279 no go the latest docking time we're 513 00:24:37,909 --> 00:24:35,520 looking at right now is about 18 minutes 514 00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:37,919 from now so it should be coming at 515 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:39,520 around 516 00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:42,000 4 42 p.m 517 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:43,919 pacific time we'll get an exact docking 518 00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:45,600 time when it happens 519 00:24:49,909 --> 00:24:47,520 but we are still moving ahead of 520 00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:49,919 schedule um we're still about 40 minutes 521 00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:51,120 ahead of when we thought we were gonna 522 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:53,440 dock and this was already one of the 523 00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:55,520 fastest there if not the fastest docking 524 00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:58,000 we've done on the crew dragon so far 525 00:25:02,310 --> 00:24:59,520 we're just continuing to stay ahead of 526 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:02,320 schedule yeah for sure uh now at that 20 527 00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:04,320 meter distance from the station's 528 00:25:09,669 --> 00:25:07,120 docking adapter dragon's approach will 529 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:09,679 slow and it'll begin to align itself 530 00:25:12,950 --> 00:25:11,679 with the adapter to come in for the 531 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:12,960 final approach 532 00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:15,600 yeah and we heard the soft capture ring 533 00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:17,520 is being extended so that's just moving 534 00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:19,520 out a little bit from that very top part 535 00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:22,320 of dragon underneath the nose cone and 536 00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:25,120 it'll make that initial soft capture 537 00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:27,600 essentially using those metal pedals 538 00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:29,279 to interlock with the international 539 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:31,520 docking adapter and after that contact 540 00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:34,240 is bait the ring on dragon will retract 541 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:35,840 bring dragon in a little bit closer and 542 00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:37,360 then we can start the hard capture 543 00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:38,880 sequence 544 00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:41,760 and so dragon soft capturing has a bunch 545 00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:44,720 of dampers in the rotary springs and 546 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,480 that just lessens the force as it brings 547 00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:48,480 it in a little bit closer and we make 548 00:25:52,950 --> 00:25:50,640 that initial contact with the station 549 00:25:55,269 --> 00:25:52,960 and after that we can engage those hooks 550 00:25:57,029 --> 00:25:55,279 and have a hard mate 551 00:25:58,230 --> 00:25:57,039 and then get ready to go through hat 552 00:26:00,390 --> 00:25:58,240 shops 553 00:26:02,870 --> 00:26:00,400 whenever i'm 554 00:26:03,909 --> 00:26:02,880 explaining the process to 555 00:26:05,350 --> 00:26:03,919 to 556 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:05,360 younger people 557 00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:07,600 i often like to reference the movie 558 00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:09,360 interstellar because there's a couple 559 00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:11,360 scenes in there where the spacecraft is 560 00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:12,799 docking to that space station and 561 00:26:17,669 --> 00:26:15,120 there's like this great visual of the 562 00:26:19,909 --> 00:26:17,679 hooks walking in uh and while the design 563 00:26:22,149 --> 00:26:19,919 is certainly different for uh this space 564 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:22,159 station and for dragon that that is what 565 00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:23,520 we're talking about when we when we 566 00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:26,559 refer to as hooks really locking in uh 567 00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:29,200 to the dragon capsule for that for that 568 00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:31,360 uh hard capture 569 00:26:34,789 --> 00:26:33,200 all right so we're just about six and a 570 00:26:36,789 --> 00:26:34,799 half minutes away from our arrival at 571 00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:36,799 waypoint two so at this point dragons 572 00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:39,600 pointed straight at the docking port 573 00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:41,600 right now again this docking port is on 574 00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:43,279 the top part of the space station 575 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:44,880 dragons looking straight down at the 576 00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:46,320 space station 577 00:26:51,669 --> 00:26:49,200 and when we if we are lucky enough to 578 00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:51,679 get a couple more views from dragon 579 00:26:56,710 --> 00:26:54,000 we'll be looking directly down at planet 580 00:26:58,470 --> 00:26:56,720 earth behind the station as well 581 00:27:00,390 --> 00:26:58,480 and it's going to continue to move into 582 00:27:01,830 --> 00:27:00,400 waypoint 2. we're going to pause just 20 583 00:27:04,549 --> 00:27:01,840 minutes away 584 00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:04,559 we expect that to happen in about a 585 00:27:09,190 --> 00:27:06,559 little under six minutes from now 586 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:09,200 and then we get that final go no go for 587 00:27:15,190 --> 00:27:12,000 it today that final go no go for docking 588 00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:15,200 after which uh the uh team on the ground 589 00:27:19,269 --> 00:27:17,279 here in hawthorne sends a command 590 00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:19,279 and dragon begins its final approach 591 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:21,520 yeah and we should note that while the 592 00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:24,880 other pause points were able to be 593 00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:27,039 skipped essentially that is one that is 594 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:29,760 not skipped because of that go no go 595 00:27:35,590 --> 00:27:33,120 that final go no-go point um yeah so 596 00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:35,600 point two is up next uh and again that 597 00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:37,600 puts dragon only 20 meters away from the 598 00:27:41,190 --> 00:27:38,880 space station 599 00:27:44,230 --> 00:27:41,200 uh from there the spacecraft will focus 600 00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:44,240 on station houston on the big loop 601 00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:46,320 station crew dragon is transmitting 602 00:27:50,950 --> 00:27:48,799 docking camera video please confirm 603 00:27:59,590 --> 00:27:50,960 video and data updating in dragon 604 00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:01,590 basically just asking the crew can you 605 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,310 dragon docking monster 606 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,549 houston copies 607 00:28:17,110 --> 00:28:14,630 awesome so there's a shot there of 608 00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:17,120 mission control center here at hawthorne 609 00:28:21,590 --> 00:28:19,600 california on the left-hand side and 610 00:28:23,909 --> 00:28:21,600 then of course mission control center at 611 00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:23,919 johnson space center in houston on the 612 00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:25,760 right-hand side 613 00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:28,320 dragon spacex on the big loop we see the 614 00:28:39,029 --> 00:28:31,360 onboard for rgps no immediate concerns 615 00:28:44,070 --> 00:28:41,190 and so that call up right there so our 616 00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:44,080 gps is the relative gps system again 617 00:28:48,149 --> 00:28:46,720 that's one of several navigational tools 618 00:28:50,549 --> 00:28:48,159 dragon has 619 00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:50,559 basically gps sensors on dragon talking 620 00:28:54,950 --> 00:28:52,159 to those on station 621 00:28:56,950 --> 00:28:54,960 that's used for a lot of the 622 00:28:59,430 --> 00:28:56,960 approach when we're still quite a ways 623 00:29:01,590 --> 00:28:59,440 out still but as you just heard the crew 624 00:29:03,430 --> 00:29:01,600 told dragon eyes are those primary tools 625 00:29:06,710 --> 00:29:03,440 that we're using now spacex on the big 626 00:29:09,510 --> 00:29:06,720 loop c2v2 link reconfiguration and soft 627 00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:09,520 capture ring ring extension complete 628 00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:12,480 with the rgps1 failure we are still go 629 00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:22,389 and so again just that quick update to 630 00:29:25,990 --> 00:29:24,080 the crew still go for docking we're 631 00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:26,000 using the dragon eye there's two 632 00:29:30,310 --> 00:29:28,320 on-board dragon we're using one 633 00:29:33,029 --> 00:29:30,320 with another one for redundancy for that 634 00:29:35,110 --> 00:29:33,039 final approach dragon eye using lidar 635 00:29:36,950 --> 00:29:35,120 essentially bouncing lasers off of 636 00:29:38,789 --> 00:29:36,960 reflectors on the space station also 637 00:29:40,549 --> 00:29:38,799 using a thermal imager 638 00:29:42,950 --> 00:29:40,559 to get range range 639 00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:42,960 on the big loop ground teams have pulled 640 00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:45,760 go for approach two upon confirmation of 641 00:29:55,830 --> 00:29:47,440 crew readiness we will enable the 642 00:30:00,950 --> 00:29:57,830 and there's a good call so the teams 643 00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:00,960 down here on the ground have pulled the 644 00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:03,360 dragons healthy and in a good config 645 00:30:08,070 --> 00:30:05,039 station's healthy and a good config and 646 00:30:09,750 --> 00:30:08,080 so we'll pause when we get to 20 meters 647 00:30:11,909 --> 00:30:09,760 and then as soon as the crew on dragon 648 00:30:13,510 --> 00:30:11,919 tells us that they're ready team here in 649 00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:13,520 hawthorne will send the command and 650 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:15,520 we'll be in with final approach 651 00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:18,480 yeah so just a good example there of 652 00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:20,320 really as you've mentioned before these 653 00:30:25,029 --> 00:30:22,880 are integrated operations right it is 654 00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:25,039 mission control there that you see on 655 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:27,520 there on your screen located here uh 656 00:30:31,909 --> 00:30:29,760 just behind dan and i uh at spacex 657 00:30:35,029 --> 00:30:31,919 headquarters that mission control center 658 00:30:36,630 --> 00:30:35,039 from johnson space center um and you 659 00:30:38,310 --> 00:30:36,640 know the crew on board station and the 660 00:30:39,990 --> 00:30:38,320 crew on board dragon and as you just 661 00:30:42,389 --> 00:30:40,000 said you know just checking in with the 662 00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:42,399 the crew on dragon hey you ready to 663 00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:44,399 ready to do this um and get the the 664 00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:46,000 final go from them 665 00:30:50,389 --> 00:30:48,080 we also heard the crew on station is 666 00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:50,399 getting video from dragon and they have 667 00:30:53,669 --> 00:30:52,000 a number of displays 668 00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:53,679 that they're able to see that video with 669 00:30:56,870 --> 00:30:55,200 overlays making sure again they're 670 00:30:58,630 --> 00:30:56,880 inside the docking corridor and things 671 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,640 like that if you followed the ax1 672 00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:00,399 docking that hung us up at waypoint 2 673 00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:02,000 for a little while as we had an issue on 674 00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:04,080 station getting that video routed not an 675 00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:05,840 issue at all today 676 00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:08,559 and with uh these missions 677 00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:11,600 um with a nasa crew on board dragon 678 00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:14,640 they're actually prime in the 679 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:16,720 kind of in the command tree for that 680 00:31:19,730 --> 00:31:27,029 [Music] 681 00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:28,870 all right so commander chow lingard just 682 00:31:32,789 --> 00:31:30,799 reporting the crews close their visors 683 00:31:34,789 --> 00:31:32,799 they're locked in we're just about a 684 00:31:36,149 --> 00:31:34,799 minute and a half away from arrival at 685 00:31:39,269 --> 00:31:36,159 way point two 686 00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:39,279 yeah so essentially that means that 687 00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:41,600 dragon spacex on the big loop we copied 688 00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:43,760 your last visors down 689 00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:46,480 we just enabled the approach as a final 690 00:31:50,549 --> 00:31:48,720 reminder once dragon is inside the crew 691 00:31:59,190 --> 00:31:50,559 hands-off point retreat and breakout are 692 00:32:03,110 --> 00:32:01,029 station houston on the big loop dragon 693 00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:03,120 is continuing approach and is go for 694 00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:06,320 docking monitor for steps five and six 695 00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:08,480 in procedure one decimal 102 dragon 696 00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:15,110 monitoring copies we're monitoring in 697 00:32:24,470 --> 00:32:22,789 all right that crew hands-off point that 698 00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:24,480 we heard mentioned essentially means 699 00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:25,760 that um 700 00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:28,480 uh dragon is the one that has to 701 00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:31,760 initiate uh that docking abort the the 702 00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:33,840 crew is uh 703 00:32:38,870 --> 00:32:36,799 not the one to do that um again this is 704 00:32:40,630 --> 00:32:38,880 dragon just driving itself autonomously 705 00:32:42,549 --> 00:32:40,640 it's taking all the data coming in from 706 00:32:45,269 --> 00:32:42,559 station from houston 707 00:32:47,509 --> 00:32:45,279 from hawthorne and making those precise 708 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:47,519 calculations as well as utilizing those 709 00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:49,600 dragon eyes that are on board 710 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:52,480 that lidar which is just using lasers 711 00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:55,440 and uh and the thermal imaging really to 712 00:32:59,509 --> 00:32:58,000 to make that final approach um and that 713 00:33:01,269 --> 00:32:59,519 precise docking 714 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:01,279 there you can see a view of mission 715 00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:04,320 control center here in hawthorne 716 00:33:09,590 --> 00:33:07,600 these uh you know right behind dan and i 717 00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:09,600 the crew we heard before their visors 718 00:33:12,310 --> 00:33:10,399 are down 719 00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:12,320 uh meaning that their their suits are 720 00:33:17,110 --> 00:33:14,880 now also 721 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,120 their primary breathing device uh so the 722 00:33:23,029 --> 00:33:19,600 the spacesuit acts as an extension of 723 00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:23,039 the capsule itself uh the crews have 724 00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:25,440 their spacesuits on their visors down 725 00:33:28,389 --> 00:33:26,320 and 726 00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:28,399 in the locked position but they are 727 00:33:33,269 --> 00:33:31,120 plugged in using an umbilical to their 728 00:33:37,029 --> 00:33:33,279 seat which provides 729 00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:37,039 telemetry and communications and air so 730 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:39,200 right now we are 731 00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:40,240 flowing 732 00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:43,360 nitrox which is nitrogen oxygen mixture 733 00:33:47,029 --> 00:33:45,519 uh through the suits and not only does 734 00:33:49,509 --> 00:33:47,039 it allow them to breathe but it also 735 00:33:50,710 --> 00:33:49,519 keeps them cool so it's a cool nitrox 736 00:33:52,870 --> 00:33:50,720 mixture 737 00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:52,880 and really ultimately just intended to 738 00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:54,320 keep them comfortable 739 00:33:58,950 --> 00:33:56,799 and obviously safe 740 00:34:01,909 --> 00:33:58,960 and so at this point we've moved past 741 00:34:04,230 --> 00:34:01,919 waypoint two and we heard a bunch of the 742 00:34:06,149 --> 00:34:04,240 comms up to that crew 743 00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:06,159 so we were given the final go for 744 00:34:11,750 --> 00:34:08,480 docking and so right now we should just 745 00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:11,760 be about four minutes away or so and 746 00:34:16,310 --> 00:34:14,079 we don't have video at the moment uh 747 00:34:18,310 --> 00:34:16,320 we're we're in kind of a period where 748 00:34:20,149 --> 00:34:18,320 we're waiting to reacquire contact with 749 00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:20,159 our tdrs our tracking data and relay 750 00:34:24,310 --> 00:34:22,480 satellites to get that live video back 751 00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:24,320 we should get it back within the next 752 00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:26,399 two minutes or so so we should have 753 00:34:31,109 --> 00:34:29,040 those views of docking 754 00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:31,119 we promise we're not just showing you us 755 00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:32,800 because we want to as soon as we get 756 00:34:36,950 --> 00:34:35,359 views of that dragon again for the final 757 00:34:39,349 --> 00:34:36,960 approach we'll be bringing it to you we 758 00:34:41,109 --> 00:34:39,359 should be just about three and a half 759 00:34:43,589 --> 00:34:41,119 minutes a little bit more 760 00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:43,599 from docking um as you heard we're going 761 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:45,839 to hear a call out for crew hands off 762 00:34:50,069 --> 00:34:48,480 point they'll just call up chop and that 763 00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:50,079 as kate said that just 764 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:51,919 telling the crew they are not to send 765 00:34:56,230 --> 00:34:54,240 any commands to abort at that point any 766 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:56,240 abort commands will come automatically 767 00:35:00,630 --> 00:34:58,400 from dragon's flight computer 768 00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:00,640 um so we're in our final approach we're 769 00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:03,680 just about 15 meters away from the space 770 00:35:09,030 --> 00:35:06,880 station should be docking and just about 771 00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:09,040 three minutes from now so we've 772 00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:11,200 continued to get further and further 773 00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:12,560 ahead on our timeline i think we were 774 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:15,440 looking at about a 5 15 pm pacific 775 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:18,000 docking uh now we're we're looking to do 776 00:35:24,230 --> 00:35:20,880 that almost 45 minutes early yeah which 777 00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:24,240 is great um you know the crew lifted off 778 00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:28,400 from kennedy space center pad 39a at 779 00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:30,560 12 52 a.m this morning 780 00:35:35,670 --> 00:35:33,440 um and so it's been a pretty busy day 781 00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:35,680 for them uh as i've said before they did 782 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:38,320 go through a sleep phase which um you 783 00:35:43,190 --> 00:35:40,800 know was eight hours where they had the 784 00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:43,200 ability or rather the time to sleep 785 00:35:47,349 --> 00:35:44,560 whether or not they were able to get to 786 00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:47,359 sleep i hope so um but there's about an 787 00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:49,280 hour before that crew sleep period 788 00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:51,200 called pre-sleep and then there's about 789 00:35:54,630 --> 00:35:52,960 an hour after the sleep period called 790 00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:54,640 post sleep 791 00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:57,119 and it's you know just an opportunity 792 00:36:01,829 --> 00:35:59,839 for them to wind down but then also wind 793 00:36:03,910 --> 00:36:01,839 back up in preparation for 794 00:36:07,349 --> 00:36:03,920 you know all the activities that we've 795 00:36:09,109 --> 00:36:07,359 had today and still have upcoming um as 796 00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:09,119 dan said we're just a couple minutes 797 00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:15,510 spacex copies 10 meters 798 00:36:20,630 --> 00:36:18,160 we are less than 10 meters away so just 799 00:36:21,510 --> 00:36:20,640 about two minutes from docking and so 800 00:36:23,030 --> 00:36:21,520 we'll 801 00:36:25,670 --> 00:36:23,040 might be right on the edge of getting 802 00:36:27,349 --> 00:36:25,680 that video signal back but uh the teams 803 00:36:29,190 --> 00:36:27,359 and we're still getting telemetry so 804 00:36:31,109 --> 00:36:29,200 we'll be able to know when that docking 805 00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:31,119 has occurred and hopefully we'll get our 806 00:36:35,589 --> 00:36:33,040 kind of our high data rate communication 807 00:36:37,349 --> 00:36:35,599 back soon and be able to bring that live 808 00:36:40,069 --> 00:36:37,359 video but they're they're closing in 809 00:36:42,069 --> 00:36:40,079 we're just eight meters away now about a 810 00:36:44,390 --> 00:36:42,079 minute and a half from docking 811 00:36:47,270 --> 00:36:44,400 we'll hear that call out for chop come 812 00:36:49,829 --> 00:36:47,280 about 20 to 30 seconds before that 813 00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:49,839 initial contact which again is that soft 814 00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:52,160 capture ring on dragon's docking 815 00:36:55,270 --> 00:36:53,359 mechanism 816 00:36:57,190 --> 00:36:55,280 interfacing with the international 817 00:36:59,349 --> 00:36:57,200 docking adapter onboard the space 818 00:37:01,829 --> 00:36:59,359 station we're driving in towards the 819 00:37:04,470 --> 00:37:01,839 zenith port the space facing port on 820 00:37:07,109 --> 00:37:04,480 node two and we've got just six meters 821 00:37:11,510 --> 00:37:09,349 again dragon is driving itself at this 822 00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:11,520 point in time so hopefully when we get 823 00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:13,680 our views back we'll be able to 824 00:37:17,270 --> 00:37:14,800 show you and there we just heard the 825 00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:17,280 question copies five meters five meters 826 00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:19,520 away from that soft 827 00:37:34,150 --> 00:37:22,480 uh that initial contact point 828 00:37:47,030 --> 00:37:36,630 all right 829 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:52,470 two and a half meters away 830 00:37:52,480 --> 00:38:06,069 two meters 831 00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:25,510 one meter in closing 832 00:38:30,230 --> 00:38:28,069 and we heard confirmation dragon spacex 833 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:30,240 on the big loop contact and soft capture 834 00:38:46,150 --> 00:38:41,750 and confirmation soft capture and 835 00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:46,160 docking confirmed that time 4 37 p.m 836 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:49,839 pacific 11 37 gmt with the international 837 00:38:57,349 --> 00:38:53,680 space station flying 261 statute miles 838 00:39:00,470 --> 00:38:57,359 over the central pacific ocean 839 00:39:02,870 --> 00:39:00,480 and there we got it 840 00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:02,880 that's a gorgeous view 841 00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:04,960 now of course there are still a few 842 00:39:09,670 --> 00:39:06,720 steps that we have to complete before 843 00:39:11,589 --> 00:39:09,680 dragon is securely attached to station 844 00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:11,599 dragon spacex on the big loop soft 845 00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:14,640 capture ring retraction is in progress 846 00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:18,800 there's our first full view of dragon 847 00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:20,560 dragon freedom attached to the 848 00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:23,760 international space station 849 00:39:29,349 --> 00:39:27,200 up next we are going to 850 00:39:31,589 --> 00:39:29,359 begin the hard capture sequence that's 851 00:39:32,710 --> 00:39:31,599 essentially when we are engaging the 852 00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:32,720 hooks 853 00:39:44,710 --> 00:39:42,150 well unfortunately we did have that 854 00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:44,720 video cut out right at that moment of 855 00:39:49,670 --> 00:39:46,640 docking but it's great to see it 856 00:39:54,390 --> 00:39:49,680 attached now again that initial contact 857 00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:54,400 that docking time 4 37 p.m pacific 11 37 858 00:39:59,829 --> 00:39:58,079 gmt the dragon and station flying 261 859 00:40:02,069 --> 00:39:59,839 miles over the central part of the 860 00:40:03,910 --> 00:40:02,079 pacific ocean 861 00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:03,920 and we heard the the retraction of the 862 00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:06,640 docking ring is underway so 863 00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:08,480 slowly see dragon inch a little bit 864 00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:10,800 closer to the docking adapter and then 865 00:40:15,510 --> 00:40:13,040 we can kick off that hard capture 866 00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:15,520 sequence all told it'll take about 10 867 00:40:18,790 --> 00:40:16,960 minutes 868 00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:18,800 for everything to 869 00:40:23,430 --> 00:40:21,200 finish after we've 870 00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:23,440 excuse me completed that that initial 871 00:40:27,349 --> 00:40:24,960 soft capture 872 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:27,359 i will get those 12 873 00:40:31,589 --> 00:40:29,680 docking hooks engaged 874 00:40:35,349 --> 00:40:31,599 basically doing them two 875 00:40:38,150 --> 00:40:35,359 two sets one set of six at a time 876 00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:38,160 after which we'll have a hard mate and 877 00:40:41,190 --> 00:40:39,040 then 878 00:40:43,829 --> 00:40:41,200 all of the post-docking configs can get 879 00:40:45,510 --> 00:40:43,839 put into work including umbilicals 880 00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:45,520 and then the crews starting to step 881 00:40:48,710 --> 00:40:46,720 through 882 00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:48,720 all of their post docking crew onboard 883 00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:50,800 dragon getting out of their suits uh the 884 00:40:57,750 --> 00:40:52,400 crew on board station getting ready to 885 00:41:00,790 --> 00:40:59,589 so with this view here we are able to 886 00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:00,800 see 887 00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:03,280 uh those draco thrusters that we saw in 888 00:41:09,910 --> 00:41:05,680 action quite a bit uh throughout the 889 00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:09,920 approach maneuvers uh those uh 890 00:41:12,950 --> 00:41:12,160 well the dragon capsule to me is upside 891 00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:12,960 down 892 00:41:16,950 --> 00:41:14,960 but for the orientation that it's in 893 00:41:20,230 --> 00:41:16,960 right there kind of in the center 894 00:41:23,670 --> 00:41:20,240 of the pressurized section that that 895 00:41:26,470 --> 00:41:23,680 shiny uh bright white area we see three 896 00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:26,480 ports that are kind of like ovals um 897 00:41:33,270 --> 00:41:30,560 there are four clusters with three ports 898 00:41:35,430 --> 00:41:33,280 all around the the base or the service 899 00:41:37,910 --> 00:41:35,440 structure of dragon and those are those 900 00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:37,920 service structured draco thrusters that 901 00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:39,119 we utilize 902 00:41:42,870 --> 00:41:41,440 for that precise maneuvering as the 903 00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:42,880 dragon approaches the international 904 00:41:54,790 --> 00:41:53,030 i believe you can also identify 905 00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:54,800 uh that green light that we were talking 906 00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:56,319 about so there's a green one and a red 907 00:42:00,870 --> 00:41:58,560 one indicating what side is port which 908 00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:00,880 side is starboard starboard start 909 00:42:03,670 --> 00:42:02,640 starboard don't ask me which one is 910 00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:03,680 which 911 00:42:08,790 --> 00:42:05,680 i don't like deep water so i'm not 912 00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:08,800 really ever to to be on a boat but um 913 00:42:20,710 --> 00:42:11,040 yeah the the green light there you can 914 00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:22,630 yeah thanks to a quick refresher ports 915 00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:24,880 the left side starboard's the right side 916 00:42:29,430 --> 00:42:27,200 dragon spacex on the big loop ring 917 00:42:38,470 --> 00:42:29,440 retraction complete docking sequence is 918 00:42:45,030 --> 00:42:41,510 okay so the soft capture ring has drawn 919 00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:45,040 in now before we start uh to 920 00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:47,680 engage those hooks we're gonna do 921 00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:50,240 another reconfig of the mcs that's the 922 00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:52,960 motion control system on board station 923 00:42:57,430 --> 00:42:55,920 during the approach and initial contact 924 00:42:59,109 --> 00:42:57,440 we're under 925 00:43:00,950 --> 00:42:59,119 all of our attitude controls being done 926 00:43:02,870 --> 00:43:00,960 by thrusters on the russian segment we 927 00:43:04,309 --> 00:43:02,880 do that with any approaching visiting 928 00:43:06,950 --> 00:43:04,319 vehicle 929 00:43:09,910 --> 00:43:06,960 now the docking has occurred we're going 930 00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:09,920 to hand over control back to the u.s 931 00:43:15,270 --> 00:43:12,880 gyroscopes which do our nominal or just 932 00:43:17,589 --> 00:43:15,280 our normal day-to-day attitude control 933 00:43:19,829 --> 00:43:17,599 and so that puts station in a much more 934 00:43:22,069 --> 00:43:19,839 kind of quiescent it won't be able to 935 00:43:23,829 --> 00:43:22,079 make any rapid adjustments 936 00:43:25,910 --> 00:43:23,839 which could interfere 937 00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:25,920 with the driving of those hooks so as 938 00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:28,240 soon as the station teams have confirmed 939 00:43:34,470 --> 00:43:31,119 that we've handed over attitude control 940 00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:34,480 uh over to the uh us system 941 00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:35,760 they'll be able to start driving in 942 00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:46,870 fun little fact 943 00:44:03,510 --> 00:43:48,960 station houston on the big loop mcs 944 00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:05,510 we were talking about the red light and 945 00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:06,880 the green light 946 00:44:12,630 --> 00:44:10,079 john innsbrucker just sent me an im and 947 00:44:15,589 --> 00:44:12,640 the you know he's a very wisdom-filled 948 00:44:17,829 --> 00:44:15,599 person uh he says port has four letters 949 00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:17,839 as does left and i will never forget 950 00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:30,710 once again we can see that dragon 951 00:44:34,829 --> 00:44:32,880 freedom has made initial contact there 952 00:44:42,870 --> 00:44:34,839 with the international space 953 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:44,950 and again we've we've had confirmation 954 00:44:49,109 --> 00:44:47,440 that soft capturing is retracted again 955 00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:49,119 just standing by 956 00:44:51,270 --> 00:44:50,400 we heard 957 00:44:53,109 --> 00:44:51,280 that 958 00:44:55,589 --> 00:44:53,119 the mcs handover the motion control 959 00:44:56,550 --> 00:44:55,599 system on stations occurred and now it's 960 00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:56,560 going to be 961 00:45:00,390 --> 00:44:58,800 a time for the 962 00:45:02,870 --> 00:45:00,400 those hard capture rings to start 963 00:45:06,309 --> 00:45:02,880 engaging again there's 12 of them total 964 00:45:08,309 --> 00:45:06,319 the first six have started to drive 965 00:45:10,470 --> 00:45:08,319 uh they're they're done in two gangs of 966 00:45:12,069 --> 00:45:10,480 six each 967 00:45:13,829 --> 00:45:12,079 these are 968 00:45:15,109 --> 00:45:13,839 this is the second time in this dragon 969 00:45:17,430 --> 00:45:15,119 flight that we've done something with 970 00:45:19,910 --> 00:45:17,440 these hooks they six of these are 971 00:45:21,990 --> 00:45:19,920 engaged during the ascent the launch and 972 00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:22,000 ascent portion holding the nose cone in 973 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:22,800 place 974 00:45:26,069 --> 00:45:24,480 which you can see is open and swung out 975 00:45:28,309 --> 00:45:26,079 to the right there of the the 976 00:45:29,829 --> 00:45:28,319 international docking adapter 977 00:45:32,309 --> 00:45:29,839 those 978 00:45:34,470 --> 00:45:32,319 drive open and release the nose cone 979 00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:34,480 shortly after dragon gets on orbit 980 00:45:38,550 --> 00:45:37,040 and now six of those driving 981 00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:38,560 to do our 982 00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:39,760 initial 983 00:45:44,309 --> 00:45:42,240 uh gang of hooks to start that hard mate 984 00:45:46,230 --> 00:45:44,319 process and then once they're in place 985 00:45:48,870 --> 00:45:46,240 the second six will drive and we'll have 986 00:45:56,230 --> 00:45:48,880 a hard mate um 987 00:45:59,510 --> 00:45:58,150 for those of you that might be wondering 988 00:46:02,870 --> 00:45:59,520 excuse me 989 00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:02,880 um what the half black and half white 990 00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:03,760 part 991 00:46:08,470 --> 00:46:06,079 of dragon is that is the unpressurized 992 00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:08,480 section known as the trunk 993 00:46:14,069 --> 00:46:11,040 uh the side that is black that's 994 00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:14,079 actually covered in solar panels so that 995 00:46:17,910 --> 00:46:15,280 is what 996 00:46:20,069 --> 00:46:17,920 the dragon capsule utilizes while on 997 00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:20,079 orbit and you know making its way to the 998 00:46:23,670 --> 00:46:21,760 space station essentially to provide 999 00:46:26,550 --> 00:46:23,680 power generate power 1000 00:46:28,790 --> 00:46:26,560 so we only have them on one side of the 1001 00:46:35,990 --> 00:46:28,800 trunk and the other side of the trunk 1002 00:46:38,470 --> 00:46:37,349 you can just 1003 00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:38,480 sorry i was just going to say you can 1004 00:46:42,710 --> 00:46:40,720 just barely make out the the heat shield 1005 00:46:44,870 --> 00:46:42,720 there at the bottom of the pressurized 1006 00:46:46,950 --> 00:46:44,880 section uh just above the unpressurized 1007 00:46:49,349 --> 00:46:46,960 section so 1008 00:46:54,150 --> 00:46:49,359 yeah and we just heard that the first 1009 00:46:54,160 --> 00:47:07,990 and so now the second are driving 1010 00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:10,150 once again this is the hard capture 1011 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:12,319 which is basically the final capture of 1012 00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:14,240 the dragon spacecraft to the 1013 00:47:21,910 --> 00:47:20,069 so once that second set of hooks are 1014 00:47:23,750 --> 00:47:21,920 driving we'll get confirmation of a hard 1015 00:47:25,990 --> 00:47:23,760 mate and then 1016 00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:26,000 we we jump right into the hatch 1017 00:47:29,990 --> 00:47:28,079 operations and the the crew on board 1018 00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:30,000 dragon will get the go to get out of 1019 00:47:34,390 --> 00:47:32,319 their seats out of their suits and start 1020 00:47:36,870 --> 00:47:34,400 getting uh be free to move about the 1021 00:47:39,670 --> 00:47:36,880 cabin essentially and start getting 1022 00:47:41,990 --> 00:47:39,680 ready to to open up the hatches they'll 1023 00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:42,000 uh hook their suits up to fans to dry 1024 00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:44,240 them out before they get stowed 1025 00:47:47,910 --> 00:47:45,839 and then they'll have a couple of 1026 00:47:50,230 --> 00:47:47,920 different tasks to do 1027 00:47:52,549 --> 00:47:50,240 after we get the hatches open in dragon 1028 00:47:55,829 --> 00:47:52,559 to just get it ready for that docked 1029 00:47:59,589 --> 00:47:55,839 operations and a lot of it's focused on 1030 00:48:01,109 --> 00:47:59,599 the atmospheric control on board dragon 1031 00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:01,119 they're going to be removing what's 1032 00:48:06,549 --> 00:48:03,599 called a lyo canister a lithium 1033 00:48:09,190 --> 00:48:06,559 hydroxide canister that 1034 00:48:11,109 --> 00:48:09,200 is used to scrub co2 from the dragon 1035 00:48:13,270 --> 00:48:11,119 cabin during free flight they'll remove 1036 00:48:15,190 --> 00:48:13,280 that and seal it as we're going to be 1037 00:48:16,870 --> 00:48:15,200 essentially integrating dragon's cabin 1038 00:48:19,430 --> 00:48:16,880 with the rest of the space station and 1039 00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:19,440 so not only will dragon be able to use 1040 00:48:22,549 --> 00:48:21,200 station power station data and 1041 00:48:25,030 --> 00:48:22,559 communications 1042 00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:25,040 but will flow 1043 00:48:29,030 --> 00:48:27,040 air from the station stack 1044 00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:29,040 into dragon and integrate it with all of 1045 00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:30,960 its life support systems generating 1046 00:48:36,710 --> 00:48:33,680 oxygen scrubbing carbon dioxide while 1047 00:48:39,670 --> 00:48:36,720 it's intact while it's attached and 1048 00:48:42,150 --> 00:48:39,680 we are hearing that the second set of 1049 00:48:44,549 --> 00:48:42,160 hooks are closed and we'll stand by 1050 00:48:58,630 --> 00:48:44,559 dragon spacex on the big loop 12 good 1051 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:12,230 half 1052 00:49:16,470 --> 00:49:14,549 on your screen there on your screen is 1053 00:49:18,710 --> 00:49:16,480 spacex core crew operations and 1054 00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:18,720 resources engineer 1055 00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:34,950 the core acts as the primary 1056 00:49:39,750 --> 00:49:38,000 communication point um from the mission 1057 00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:39,760 control center here in hawthorne to the 1058 00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:47,589 all right so now that dragon has 1059 00:49:51,750 --> 00:49:49,760 completed the docking sequence uh the 1060 00:49:53,670 --> 00:49:51,760 spacecraft must undergo a handful of 1061 00:49:55,910 --> 00:49:53,680 checks before we will be able to open 1062 00:49:57,589 --> 00:49:55,920 the hatch the crew on board dragon will 1063 00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:57,599 now get a chance to get out of their 1064 00:50:01,430 --> 00:49:59,520 suits before moving into hatch 1065 00:50:04,470 --> 00:50:01,440 operations that's right and things are 1066 00:50:05,430 --> 00:50:04,480 going to be picking up on station two 1067 00:50:10,069 --> 00:50:05,440 nasa 1068 00:50:11,510 --> 00:50:10,079 lead for all of the hatch operations on 1069 00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:11,520 the station side 1070 00:50:15,829 --> 00:50:13,040 first he's going to have to open up a 1071 00:50:17,270 --> 00:50:15,839 hatch to gain access to the uh the 1072 00:50:18,870 --> 00:50:17,280 pressurized mating adapter and the 1073 00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:18,880 docking adapter 1074 00:50:22,069 --> 00:50:20,400 and then he's going to start 1075 00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:22,079 pressurizing that vestibule that small 1076 00:50:24,549 --> 00:50:22,960 space 1077 00:50:26,950 --> 00:50:24,559 between the two so we've got 1078 00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:26,960 confirmation hard captures complete and 1079 00:50:31,589 --> 00:50:29,040 now we're ready to get into those hatch 1080 00:50:34,870 --> 00:50:31,599 operations uh one more time if you 1081 00:50:38,870 --> 00:50:34,880 missed it docking occurred at 4 37 and 1082 00:50:41,670 --> 00:50:38,880 49 seconds uh pacific time that's 11 37 1083 00:50:44,549 --> 00:50:41,680 and 49 seconds gmt while both vehicles 1084 00:50:47,750 --> 00:50:44,559 were flying 261 statute miles over the 1085 00:50:50,230 --> 00:50:47,760 central pacific now with dragon firmly 1086 00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:50,240 attached we're going to toss it over to 1087 00:50:53,829 --> 00:50:51,920 the international space station flight 1088 00:50:55,670 --> 00:50:53,839 control room in houston 1089 00:50:57,589 --> 00:50:55,680 for shaniqua vareen to take us through 1090 00:51:02,309 --> 00:50:57,599 the next steps as we get ready to open 1091 00:51:06,549 --> 00:51:04,069 thanks dan and thanks hawthorne for your 1092 00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:06,559 help today we had a very exciting moment 1093 00:51:11,910 --> 00:51:08,880 here in mission control houston as well 1094 00:51:14,790 --> 00:51:11,920 following dr dragon stocking at 6 37 pm 1095 00:51:16,069 --> 00:51:14,800 central time while flying 261 statute 1096 00:51:17,430 --> 00:51:16,079 miles over the central part of the 1097 00:51:19,270 --> 00:51:17,440 pacific ocean 1098 00:51:21,270 --> 00:51:19,280 it's great to see dragon docked the 1099 00:51:23,349 --> 00:51:21,280 energy in the room here is high there 1100 00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:23,359 was applause and smiles all around the 1101 00:51:26,630 --> 00:51:25,119 room 1102 00:51:28,790 --> 00:51:26,640 now that we're docked 1103 00:51:30,710 --> 00:51:28,800 like dan mentioned tom marshburn is 1104 00:51:33,270 --> 00:51:30,720 securing some hardware and then moving 1105 00:51:35,349 --> 00:51:33,280 right into hatch operations 1106 00:51:36,390 --> 00:51:35,359 first we'll get the large hatch at node 1107

00:52:51,430 and that was core jake vindle in 1111 00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:53,920 mcc x spacex mission control in 1112 00:52:57,589 --> 00:52:56,400 hawthorne california giving the crew 1113 00:53:00,630 --> 00:52:57,599 good words 1114 00:53:02,150 --> 00:53:00,640 inside dragon freedom 1115 00:53:04,150 --> 00:53:02,160 again 1116 00:53:06,069 --> 00:53:04,160 now that they are dog tom marshburn 1117 00:53:07,750 --> 00:53:06,079 inside the station is securing some 1118 00:53:09,910 --> 00:53:07,760 hardware and then moving right into 1119 00:53:10,630 --> 00:53:09,920 hatch operations 1120 00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:10,640 first 1121 00:53:58,390 --> 00:53:13,200 spacex on dragon to ground no response 1122 00:54:02,309 --> 00:54:00,630 we're currently in between satellites 1123 00:54:04,230 --> 00:54:02,319 and you're now seeing a live view inside 1124 00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:04,240 the international space station flight 1125 00:54:09,349 --> 00:54:06,720 control room 1126 00:54:11,430 --> 00:54:09,359 once we have fusion spacex on dragon to 1127 00:54:14,069 --> 00:54:11,440 ground no response required for your 1128 00:54:40,789 --> 00:54:14,079 awareness we'll be clearing the rgps one 1129 00:54:44,069 --> 00:54:42,230 spacex 1130 00:54:51,109 --> 00:54:44,079 freedom on 1131 00:55:46,630 --> 00:54:53,750 freedom spacex on dragon to ground i had 1132 00:55:50,549 --> 00:55:49,109 if you're just joining us 1133 00:55:52,470 --> 00:55:50,559 we're 1134 00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:52,480 we have live coverage as 1135 00:55:56,230 --> 00:55:54,960 we just watched as crew dragon freedom 1136 00:55:59,109 --> 00:55:56,240 docked to the international space 1137 00:56:01,349 --> 00:55:59,119 station at 6 37 pm central time while 1138 00:56:07,510 --> 00:56:01,359 flying 261 statute miles over the 1139 00:56:12,150 --> 00:56:10,230 now that dragon is docked tom marshburn 1140 00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:12,160 as well as the rest of his crew is 1141 00:56:19,510 --> 00:56:13,680 securing some hardware and then moving 1142 00:56:22,870 --> 00:56:20,950 first he will open the large hatchet 1143 00:56:25,349 --> 00:56:22,880 node to zenith giving them access inside 1144 00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:25,359 the pressurized mating adapter 1145 00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:26,640 then we'll have to pressurize the 1146 00:56:30,390 --> 00:56:28,880 vestibule which that small space between 1147 00:56:34,390 --> 00:56:30,400 the hatches on dragon 1148 00:56:37,990 --> 00:56:36,150 this was previously exposed to vacuum 1149 00:56:39,589 --> 00:56:38,000 prior to docking and we will need to 1150 00:56:41,910 --> 00:56:39,599 fill it with air and make sure its 1151 00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:41,920 pressure is nearly equal with the 1152 00:56:45,910 --> 00:56:44,160 atmospheric pressures on dragon and the 1153 00:56:47,670 --> 00:56:45,920 station 1154 00:56:49,510 --> 00:56:47,680 marshburn will use a small valve on the 1155 00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:49,520 station's hatch to slowly introduce air 1156 00:56:53,270 --> 00:56:51,680 into the vestibule flight controllers 1157 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:53,280 here in houston will monitor the 1158 00:56:56,710 --> 00:56:55,040 pressure and the temperature readings 1159 00:56:59,190 --> 00:56:56,720 inside and verify that everything is 1160 00:57:01,109 --> 00:56:59,200 leak-free before we get ready to open up 1161 00:57:02,950 --> 00:57:01,119 the hatches 1162 00:57:04,630 --> 00:57:02,960 we expect this to take about two hours 1163 00:57:09,190 --> 00:57:04,640 to get everything pressurized and 1164 00:57:13,750 --> 00:57:10,950 with dragon's hatch currently target to 1165 00:57:16,549 --> 00:57:13,760 open a little round a little bit after 8 1166 00:57:18,069 --> 00:57:16,559 pm central time 1167 00:57:20,549 --> 00:57:18,079 following hatch open the crew will 1168 00:57:22,549 --> 00:57:20,559 configure dragon for an unorbit ops and 1169 00:57:24,829 --> 00:57:22,559 get a safety briefing 1170 00:57:26,789 --> 00:57:24,839 a few hours after 1171 00:57:28,789 --> 00:57:26,799 that 1172 00:57:31,670 --> 00:57:28,799 russian cosmonauts will wake up to begin 1173 00:57:33,430 --> 00:57:31,680 their day which will include a spacewalk 1174 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:33,440 they will also have welcoming remarks 1175 00:57:45,270 --> 00:57:42,950 dragon spacex on dragon to ground the 1176 00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:45,280 iss crew has begun festival 1177 00:57:52,309 --> 00:57:47,040 pressurization 1178 00:58:04,710 --> 00:57:52,319 4.400 section 4 for telemetry if you'd 1179 00:58:04,720 --> 01:03:28,309 and freedom copies doesn't work 1180 01:03:31,270 --> 01:03:29,750 you're currently seeing inside the 1181 01:03:35,829 --> 01:03:31,280 international space station as tom 1182 01:03:37,910 --> 01:03:35,839 marshburn and caleb barron are preparing 1183 01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:37,920 the area for the crew to 1184 01:03:41,589 --> 01:03:39,760 ingress the space station 1185 01:03:42,950 --> 01:03:41,599 they're currently removing baggage and 1186 01:03:44,789 --> 01:03:42,960 stowage area 1187 01:04:04,150 --> 01:03:44,799 out of the way so there's more room for 1188 01:04:08,950 --> 01:04:06,630 and clarification that was rashid shari 1189 01:04:10,630 --> 01:04:08,960 and caleb baron removing stowage to 1190 01:05:07,270 --> 01:04:10,640 prepare for the crew to float through 1191 01:05:12,470 --> 01:05:09,829 now docked tom marshburn current station 1192 01:05:14,789 --> 01:05:12,480 commander is now securing some
