[Music]

10
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,840
and starliner has performed its final

11
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:13,760
departure burns from the international

12
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:16,480
space station and it is on his way back

13
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:17,599
to earth

14
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:19,840
good afternoon and welcome to our live

15
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,640
coverage of starliner's return home i'm

16
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:24,319
lauren seabrook with boeing and i'm

17
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,720
brandi dean with nasa and brandy and i

18
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:28,400
are coming to you live from here in

19
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:30,640
mission control in houston where we have

20
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,120
just heard that we are goes across the

21
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:35,519
board for our deorbit burn that will be

22
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:37,840
coming up here shortly and joining us in

23
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,000
just a little bit we have a team ready

24
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:42,640
to go live from starliner's landing zone

25
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:45,200
in the western part of the united states

26
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:47,440
starliner's flight test began back on

27
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:49,200
may 19th when it launched from kennedy

28
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:51,200
space center in florida aboard an atlas

29
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,200
v rocket

30
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:55,200
there's a replay of that launch there

31
00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:56,879
after completing a series of technical

32
00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:58,959
demonstrations and engine firings to

33
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,800
adjust its course starliner arrived at

34
00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:02,480
the space station and talked with the

35
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,519
orbiting lab the next day on may 20th

36
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:07,200
starliner's return to earth will mark

37
00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:09,280
the completion of this uncrewed flight

38
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:10,159
test

39
00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:12,000
and another milestone for both boeing

40
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,599
and nasa's commercial program as we work

41
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:15,280
toward increasing our capability to

42
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:17,200
launch humans to the space station from

43
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,550
and earlier today starliner's incredible

44
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:24,480
suite of systems powered up and the

45
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:26,000
spacecraft began its departure

46
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:28,400
procedures in preparation for its

47
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:29,760
journey home

48
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:30,799
teams here

49
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:33,200
in houston florida and new mexico have

50
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,959
been monitoring the spacecraft as it

51
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:36,480
autonomously undocked from the

52
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:38,480
international space station this

53
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:42,080
afternoon around 1 36 pm central time

54
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,120
and it was flying about 257 miles above

55
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:47,200
singapore it then began a series of

56
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:48,959
departure burns to move away from the

57
00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:55,990
great replay there

58
00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:58,239
following starliner's launch on the 19th

59
00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:59,840
the teams here on the ground did see

60
00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:01,439
some unexpected behavior from some of

61
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:03,280
the spacecraft's orbital maneuvering and

62
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:06,159
attitude control or omac thrusters as

63
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:07,760
well as its reaction control system

64
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:10,239
thrusters specifically two of the omac

65
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,760
thrusters shut down early during

66
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,840
starliner's orbital insertion burn and

67
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,360
later in the flight a couple of reaction

68
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,079
control stuff thrusters shut down early

69
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:20,160
as well however starlander has a total

70
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:23,040
of 20 omega engines and 28 reaction

71
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:24,720
control system jets so there's plenty of

72
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:27,040
redundancy to draw from

73
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:28,639
and we still want to learn as much as we

74
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:30,800
can about what caused those thrusters to

75
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,520
shut down however so after the starliner

76
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:35,600
exited the iss approach ellipsoid

77
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:37,919
earlier today we sent some extra engine

78
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:40,000
commands to try and gather just a little

79
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:42,080
bit more data on how those thrusters are

80
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:44,080
behaving the flight controllers had

81
00:04:48,629 --> 00:04:46,240
starliner command both of the omacs that

82
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,639
shut off prematurely as well as six of

83
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:51,040
the reaction control system thrusters

84
00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:52,800
including the two that stopped firing

85
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:54,840
early on our first day in

86
00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,280
orbit after exiting the approach

87
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,199
ellipsoid each engine was commanded to

88
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,360
fire individually not all at once

89
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,600
starting with the omax these thrusters

90
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:06,080
are located on a service module which we

91
00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:07,919
will be jettisoning shortly after

92
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,759
today's deorbit burn

93
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,360
so the crew measure can then make its

94
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:13,280
way back to the earth alone

95
00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:15,199
so this was our last chance to check

96
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:17,039
those systems out before we got rid of

97
00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:18,400
the service module

98
00:05:23,749 --> 00:05:19,919
and those engine commands took place

99
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:23,759
around 225 i'm sorry 325 central it

100
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,840
wasn't a pass fail test but really meant

101
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:27,360
to gain just as much data and

102
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,600
understanding of the service module

103
00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,759
before it's allowed to burn up in the

104
00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:33,919
earth's atmosphere i'm sure that our

105
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:35,120
engineers will appreciate the

106
00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:37,039
information as we prepare the next

107
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,199
service module for our upcoming crew

108
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:41,039
flight test

109
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,960
for the orbit burn though to ensure that

110
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,400
everything goes exactly as planned the

111
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:46,560
ground teams have disabled the two omacs

112
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:48,560
that previously shut down and will only

113
00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:50,080
use the omax that we have complete

114
00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:52,080
confidence in based on the results of

115
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,680
the test however the t the flight

116
00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,240
controllers decided to re-enable the two

117
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,080
reaction control system thrusters and we

118
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:00,560
will have a full suite of 28 rcs's

119
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:45,110
while there are no astronauts on board

120
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:46,880
the starliner today the flight test

121
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:49,280
brings us one step closer to a crude

122
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,880
flight test in the coming months and we

123
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:52,319
cannot wait to see nasa astronauts

124
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:53,840
safely arrive at the international space

125
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,840
station and then later return back to

126
00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:57,440
earth as the starliner's very first

127
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:59,520
astronaut crew

128
00:07:04,790 --> 00:07:01,599
of course as brandy just mentioned

129
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:04,800
because we had no astronauts on board we

130
00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:07,440
had a little extra passengers uh

131
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:09,199
jebediah kerbel

132
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:11,520
kerman part of the kerbal space program

133
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,360
which a lot of people were excited to

134
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:15,520
see there as our gravity indicator as

135
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,039
well as rosie

136
00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:19,440
the rocketeer of course named after

137
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:21,280
rosie the riveter

138
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:23,840
she was our atd device and you may

139
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,400
remember from our last flight she had

140
00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:28,800
many sensors that were on her and we

141
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:31,120
were able to gather a lot of data about

142
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:33,680
what the ride is like inside starliner

143
00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:35,680
and because we were able to get so much

144
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,919
data from rosie last time

145
00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:39,440
we were actually

146
00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,120
able to move those sensors to other

147
00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:43,599
parts of the spacecraft this time so

148
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,680
now we'll have a better idea ahead of

149
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:47,440
our crude flight test

150
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:49,520
how other passengers will ride in

151
00:07:57,749 --> 00:07:55,350
now once we make the final burn to get

152
00:07:59,830 --> 00:07:57,759
out of orbit today it will take about 45

153
00:08:02,469 --> 00:07:59,840
minutes for starliner to reach its final

154
00:08:04,950 --> 00:08:02,479
destination the us army's white sands

155
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:04,960
missile range in new mexico right now

156
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:07,440
we're told we are good weather-wise

157
00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:10,000
there are scattered clouds about 25 000

158
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,080
feet above the landing zone it's pretty

159
00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:14,080
hazy with about eight miles of

160
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:15,599
visibility

161
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:17,280
winds are out of the southeast peaking

162
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:19,199
around seven knots

163
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:21,199
which is well within the acceptable

164
00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:22,240
limits

165
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:24,319
so here's a look at our full landing

166
00:08:33,130 --> 00:08:27,410
sequence for starliner

167
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:41,450
[Music]

168
00:08:52,880 --> 00:09:00,100
continue

169
00:09:00,110 --> 00:09:11,350
[Music]

170
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,750
imagery of both the laboratory and earth

171
00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:15,600
in its background

172
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:18,399
then 51 minutes after undogging

173
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,590
speeding toward earth

174
00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:32,030
[Music]

175
00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:32,260
[Applause]

176
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:41,829
that again was a look at the landing

177
00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:44,399
sequence sequence that's coming up we

178
00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:46,480
are now 11 minutes away from today's

179
00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:48,800
deorbit burn for for starliner that's

180
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,240
coming up at 505 pm central time and

181
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:54,320
will last about 58 seconds it's going to

182
00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:57,519
slow starliner down by 285 miles per

183
00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,399
hour

184
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:00,720
which will drop it back into the earth's

185
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:02,720
atmosphere and put it on its way to

186
00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:09,350
and we are doing our best to establish

187
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:11,440
a good signal with our team that is out

188
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:14,160
at white sands today it can be

189
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:16,640
a little difficult to get a great signal

190
00:10:19,269 --> 00:10:17,680
depending on where they are in the

191
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,279
desert so

192
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:21,360
we do have a team of three people who

193
00:10:26,069 --> 00:10:23,519
will be coming to us live

194
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,079
two folks from the boeing side and one

195
00:10:30,949 --> 00:10:28,320
person from the nasa side who will be

196
00:10:34,069 --> 00:10:30,959
out there in those white sands

197
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:34,079
bringing us a look at what the convoy

198
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,680
looks like they are

199
00:10:39,509 --> 00:10:37,360
setting up the convoy and actually i'm

200
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:39,519
told now we do have them so we are going

201
00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:41,760
to go out live to our colleagues dan

202
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,160
hewitt from nasa public affairs and rosa

203
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:46,480
bonduelos and megan gessner from boeing

204
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:51,829
hey lauren uh it's great to be with you

205
00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:53,680
we are currently again here at our

206
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:55,680
landing site at white suns in mexico

207
00:10:59,829 --> 00:10:57,920
it's a really warm day out here but the

208
00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,839
team is staying hydrated as we wait for

209
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:02,000
starliner to come back home um during

210
00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:04,800
its orbital flight test two mission um

211
00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:06,240
as you mentioned we are having a

212
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:07,680
difficult time establishing a good

213
00:11:11,750 --> 00:11:10,320
connection but as we continue to

214
00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:11,760
troubleshoot we will come back to you

215
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:13,839
hopefully with some live feeds um the

216
00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:15,760
team is right now getting ready in the

217
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:18,079
conway position um we're establishing

218
00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:20,959
the different uh teams and as soon as

219
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:22,560
that crew module lands and all of its

220
00:11:27,829 --> 00:11:24,640
parachutes and all the parts of jettison

221
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:27,839
we will begin the recovery

222
00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:30,720
yeah we have an initial staging point

223
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:33,519
that we were actually out here on monday

224
00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:35,200
that we were able to do some practice

225
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:36,800
runs with the teams as they just

226
00:11:41,350 --> 00:11:39,440
continued to prepare for this moment and

227
00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:41,360
we got a late change last night it moved

228
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,000
us about eight kilometers further north

229
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:46,240
from all of our gear which was not able

230
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:47,680
to move with us

231
00:11:51,509 --> 00:11:49,920
as early just said we'll we'll be in and

232
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:51,519
out with video probably which you've got

233
00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:53,040
a couple of other assets that should

234
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,279
allow everybody to see starliner make

235
00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:57,519
its way home and once we get in closer i

236
00:12:02,230 --> 00:11:59,600
will be able to walk you through all the

237
00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:02,240
different teams each one color coded

238
00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:04,320
with a very specific job for this

239
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:06,880
recovery and again as we get closer

240
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:08,480
we'll be able to break all of those down

241
00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:10,480
for you

242
00:12:14,790 --> 00:12:11,920
and again as i mentioned we'll continue

243
00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,800
to bring you those live views um the

244
00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,639
the landing recovery operations will

245
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:18,880
begin at a 500 foot mark and then we'll

246
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:21,120
move over to the 120 seat as we move

247
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:23,519
forward to this new module so um again

248
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,959
we'll keep bringing you some live

249
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:26,720
updates from our landing site here at

250
00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:28,480
the white sands musical range and i'll

251
00:12:36,230 --> 00:12:34,069
rosa dan thank you so much we really

252
00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:36,240
appreciate that and uh looked like we

253
00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:39,120
did have a shot there um seeing the

254
00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:40,880
white sands yeah let's go back to it

255
00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:43,360
there um so we are seeing some of the

256
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:45,120
convoy that will be

257
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,320
lining up and headed in to be the first

258
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:50,560
um to be on site there once starliner

259
00:12:55,829 --> 00:12:54,240
makes its landing there in new mexico

260
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:55,839
definitely looks like a beautiful day

261
00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:58,240
for a starladder landing

262
00:13:03,030 --> 00:13:00,240
yeah really the weather they said cannot

263
00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:03,040
be better we're in a good spot

264
00:13:06,629 --> 00:13:04,320
to get in place for that landing

265
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:06,639
starliner completed a series of

266
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:08,560
departure burns and choreographed

267
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:10,240
procedures as we mentioned earlier that

268
00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:11,920
slowly moved the spacecraft further and

269
00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:13,279
further away from the international

270
00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:15,040
space station

271
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:16,800
and at this point the starliner

272
00:13:20,069 --> 00:13:18,560
spacecraft is well below the space

273
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:20,079
station and quite a few miles ahead of

274
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:22,079
it as well

275
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:24,399
those initial smaller burns ensure that

276
00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:26,160
the starliner is a safe distance away

277
00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:27,200
from the space station before it

278
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:29,040
performs a deorbit burn

279
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:32,240
now uh seven and a half minutes away

280
00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:34,160
that's again a is going to bring it out

281
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:36,000
of orbit and put it on track for today's

282
00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:38,399
landing

283
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:39,920
and those graphics there in the scene

284
00:13:45,189 --> 00:13:42,320
really give you a good idea of the

285
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:45,199
very coordinated and synchronized sort

286
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:47,680
of dance that starliner does

287
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:49,600
to move away from the international

288
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:52,160
space station and start its journey home

289
00:13:55,829 --> 00:13:53,839
flight director mike lammers and his

290
00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:55,839
team are expecting starliner's orbital

291
00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:58,320
maneuvering attitude control thrusters

292
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:01,199
which we also call omax to fire around

293
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:04,000
505 pm central time pushing the

294
00:14:08,069 --> 00:14:05,920
spacecraft out of its orbital flight

295
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:08,079
path and on its journey home

296
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:10,000
this deorbit burn will set us up for a

297
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:12,320
touchdown time of about

298
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:15,920
5 49 central or 449 mountain time out in

299
00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:18,000
white sands new mexico

300
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:19,839
control teams in houston will begin

301
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:22,000
powering off starliner's radiators and

302
00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:25,279
solar arrays as the spacecraft

303
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:26,639
will no longer

304
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,040
need that it has enough

305
00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:31,440
power to get home at that point and the

306
00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:33,680
sublimators will take over cooling those

307
00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,040
sublimators use water to cool the cabin

308
00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:39,120
starliner is now also in the correct

309
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:41,360
attitude for its upcoming deorbit burn

310
00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:43,519
at this point the service module and the

311
00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:45,519
crew capsule are still attached to each

312
00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:47,360
other but once again that service

313
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:49,839
modules for orbital maneuvering and

314
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:52,320
attitude control engines will power that

315
00:14:56,150 --> 00:14:55,120
deorbit burn allowing them to separate

316
00:14:58,069 --> 00:14:56,160
safely

317
00:15:00,310 --> 00:14:58,079
those engines are each fifteen hundred

318
00:15:02,230 --> 00:15:00,320
pound class thrusters meaning that this

319
00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:02,240
burn will take about six thousand pounds

320
00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:04,639
of thrust slowing starliner from its

321
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:06,959
current orbital velocity and bringing it

322
00:15:11,829 --> 00:15:09,680
back to earth's atmosphere ultimately

323
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:11,839
again touching down out there in white

324
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:14,000
sands new mexico

325
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:15,440
we've still got a little over five

326
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,519
minutes to go before we do start that

327
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:19,440
deorbit burn which again will last 58

328
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,880
seconds right now starliner is about 264

329
00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:26,880
miles above

330
00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:29,040
the southern ocean just about to reach

331
00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:31,279
the southernmost portion of this final

332
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:34,320
orbit around the earth a little south of

333
00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:35,360
south

334
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:38,959
west rather of uh australia

335
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:41,199
and on starliner's last flight we were

336
00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:44,160
able to prove some pretty major test

337
00:15:47,990 --> 00:15:46,320
objectives um that we could safely

338
00:15:50,069 --> 00:15:48,000
launch and land

339
00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:50,079
and this flight was all about kind of

340
00:15:54,470 --> 00:15:51,839
everything in between

341
00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:54,480
and we do have a long list of objectives

342
00:15:58,389 --> 00:15:57,040
that we have met so far

343
00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:58,399
let me just go through some of these

344
00:16:01,990 --> 00:15:59,600
things the

345
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:02,000
vegetable was pressurized getting

346
00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:04,560
starliner equalized to the same pressure

347
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:06,320
at the iss

348
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:08,800
starliner's intravehicular activity or

349
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:11,920
iva hatch was opened

350
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:14,320
joint ventilation with the iss was

351
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:16,000
established which is basically just

352
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:18,639
pumping in air from the iss and then

353
00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:22,399
letting starliner's air flow out

354
00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:24,399
the spacecraft batteries were recharged

355
00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:30,629
docked telemetry paths and file

356
00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,519
transfers were verified and that gave us

357
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:35,680
the opportunity to retrieve data while

358
00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:37,120
still there

359
00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:39,360
at the iss and docked instead of waiting

360
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,360
to return home so

361
00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:43,199
really vital information that our

362
00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:44,880
engineers were able to get back here on

363
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:51,590
it's a little more than four minutes to

364
00:16:58,470 --> 00:16:53,920
go until the orbit burn we did hear that

365
00:16:59,590 --> 00:16:58,480
uh nasa's wb-57 aircraft did arrive at

366
00:17:01,590 --> 00:16:59,600
the landing site they're now in a

367
00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:01,600
holding pattern waiting for today's

368
00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:03,839
landing which itself is about 48 minutes

369
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:07,039
away now again that's coming up at 5 50

370
00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:10,079
5 49 p.m central time that's 4 49 there

371
00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:13,360
locally at white sands that is

372
00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:15,039
going to provide us one of what we hope

373
00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:22,309
and the teams here on the ground are

374
00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:24,240
also reporting that starliner is in a

375
00:17:30,070 --> 00:17:27,760
good configuration for the orbit burn

376
00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:30,080
still three out three minutes and 40

377
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:37,669
and once starliner does make that

378
00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:39,760
de-orbit burn it will be about 44

379
00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:43,360
minutes from that point until

380
00:19:09,350 --> 00:17:49,350
so right now about 47 minutes away from

381
00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,110
just two minutes to go now until

382
00:19:15,669 --> 00:19:13,280
starliner's de-orbit burn that engine

383
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:15,679
firing will begin at 505 pm central in

384
00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:18,400
last 58 seconds using four orbital

385
00:19:23,909 --> 00:19:20,400
maneuvering and attitude control

386
00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:23,919
thrusters slow it down by 127 meters per

387
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:27,120
second or 285 miles per hour enough to

388
00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:29,440
drop it out of orbit back into earth's

389
00:20:09,029 --> 00:19:32,080
atmosphere and begin making a beeline to

390
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:38,870
one minute to go until that deorbit burn

391
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:57,990
30 seconds left

392
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:05,110
10 seconds to the orbit burn

393
00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:05,990
three

394
00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:06,960
two

395
00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:18,230
the team here on the ground reporting

396
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:20,000
that uh the orbital maneuvering and

397
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:21,760
attitude control festers are firing

398
00:21:25,669 --> 00:21:23,520
slowing starliner down as the capsule

399
00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:25,679
begin its journey back to earth again

400
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:27,760
this lasts for 58 seconds and slows

401
00:21:38,789 --> 00:21:29,840
starliner down by

402
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:44,390
30 seconds now into the burn

403
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:46,549
you can see here on this graphic those

404
00:21:56,159 --> 00:22:03,669
10 seconds left

405
00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,110
as those omega thrusters are firing

406
00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:07,200
small reaction control system thrusters

407
00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:08,320
are doing the same keeping the

408
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:10,159
spacecraft in the correct correct

409
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:13,760
position for the burn

410
00:22:16,630 --> 00:22:14,960
and

411
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,640
confirmed engine cutoff here on the

412
00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:18,080
ground flight controllers here in the

413
00:22:27,990 --> 00:22:20,400
room are reporting a good deorbit burn

414
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:49,350
you said they don't

415
00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:51,190
with the deorbit burn complete starliner

416
00:22:54,950 --> 00:22:52,559
is going to be moving into the correct

417
00:22:56,870 --> 00:22:54,960
attitude for the service module

418
00:22:58,870 --> 00:22:56,880
separation next

419
00:23:00,789 --> 00:22:58,880
for the orbit burn starliner moved into

420
00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:00,799
an orientation that allowed its

421
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:02,640
thrusters to fire against the direction

422
00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:04,000
of travel like trying to swim against

423
00:23:07,510 --> 00:23:06,000
the current of a river now that that's

424
00:23:09,190 --> 00:23:07,520
done it's adjusting so that its

425
00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:09,200
thrusters will be pushing it further

426
00:23:12,549 --> 00:23:10,960
along the direction of travel and

427
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:12,559
helping the crew module move quickly

428
00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:14,320
away from the service module once the

429
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:16,240
service module is jettisoned

430
00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:17,600
that jettison is going to happen in just

431
00:23:22,549 --> 00:23:20,400
a couple minutes now or about a minute

432
00:24:04,710 --> 00:23:22,559
uh

433
00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:06,470
we are coming up on that service module

434
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:16,630
you can see a starliner moving into the

435
00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:50,549
satellite handover right now that uh

436
00:24:55,430 --> 00:24:53,120
that's why the

437
00:24:56,950 --> 00:24:55,440
the text on the screen went green but we

438
00:25:34,950 --> 00:24:56,960
expect to have the service module

439
00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:38,070
and we have service module separation

440
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:40,080
during disposal that service module will

441
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:42,320
re-enter over the pacific ocean while

442
00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:44,720
the crew capsule continues on its path

443
00:25:49,350 --> 00:25:47,279
to new mexico where our boeing and nasa

444
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:49,360
teams are waiting to recover it

445
00:25:54,149 --> 00:25:51,600
starliner is now angling itself and its

446
00:25:56,710 --> 00:25:54,159
heat shield for re-entry

447
00:25:59,269 --> 00:25:56,720
entry interfaces coming up next in about

448
00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:59,279
16 minutes from now that is the hottest

449
00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:01,200
part of re-entry with starliner's heat

450
00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:04,400
shield reaching 3000 degrees

451
00:26:08,149 --> 00:26:06,000
to protect starliner from those heat

452
00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:08,159
loads the spacecraft has what's called

453
00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:10,880
an ablative heat shield meaning the

454
00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:13,039
outer surface of that shield heats up to

455
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:15,440
a gas which then carries the heat away

456
00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:18,000
from the crew module through convection

457
00:26:21,510 --> 00:26:19,679
and at entry interface the heat shield

458
00:26:24,390 --> 00:26:21,520
will handle those temperatures of about

459
00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:24,400
3000 degrees and i've heard engineers re

460
00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:26,480
refer to this as a game of threes

461
00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:28,400
because

462
00:26:32,789 --> 00:26:30,240
as i said that the heat shield will

463
00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:32,799
handle the 3000 degrees but then it will

464
00:26:38,149 --> 00:26:35,520
convert that heat to about 300 degrees

465
00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:38,159
with only three inches of ablater so if

466
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:40,240
there were any crew on board during this

467
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:42,960
time even the hottest part of re-entry

468
00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:44,799
the astronauts would really not feel

469
00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:46,480
anything above about room temperature

470
00:26:51,830 --> 00:26:49,679
inside the spacecraft

471
00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:51,840
when starliner returned home from our

472
00:26:56,310 --> 00:26:53,360
first orbital flight test the crew

473
00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:56,320
capsule landed with two black stripes up

474
00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:58,400
the side of it and that just indicates

475
00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:00,799
that the heat was ablated as intended so

476
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:03,039
we do expect to see the same thing on

477
00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:05,600
the crew module again today

478
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:07,279
also since that flight we've added a

479
00:27:12,470 --> 00:27:09,760
cover to our nasa docking system to

480
00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:12,480
protect through that re-entry so that we

481
00:28:16,389 --> 00:27:14,159
can use it over and over again on our

482
00:28:19,669 --> 00:28:18,070
while there's a few minutes of quiet we

483
00:28:21,750 --> 00:28:19,679
are going to toss to our teammates who

484
00:28:24,549 --> 00:28:21,760
are out in the new mexico desert we've

485
00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:24,559
got an update uh from them coming now

486
00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:33,190
hey thanks brandi uh rosa and i here

487
00:28:37,269 --> 00:28:35,039
we're happy to get a connection as again

488
00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:37,279
we had to do a little bit of rearranging

489
00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:39,440
uh but we're out here we're ready the

490
00:28:43,430 --> 00:28:41,360
team's very excited we've been following

491
00:28:45,430 --> 00:28:43,440
along we heard the deorbit burn happen

492
00:28:46,549 --> 00:28:45,440
and we're real excited to see starliner

493
00:28:48,389 --> 00:28:46,559
it's going to be coming in over the

494
00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:48,399
mountains just over there

495
00:28:50,950 --> 00:28:49,679
pretty soon we're going to be seeing it

496
00:28:52,389 --> 00:28:50,960
on the horizon

497
00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:52,399
that's right dan as you can see the team

498
00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:54,480
behind us is getting ready our

499
00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:55,600
individuals who will be wearing the

500
00:28:59,669 --> 00:28:58,240
hazmat suits are putting those on our

501
00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:59,679
gold team will actually be wearing these

502
00:29:02,549 --> 00:29:01,120
on as they approach the crew module

503
00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:02,559
they're going to do a visual safety

504
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:03,840
assessment to make sure there's no

505
00:29:07,269 --> 00:29:05,120
potential

506
00:29:09,269 --> 00:29:07,279
hydrazine leaks they'll be using special

507
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:09,279
devices to do a quick reading and then

508
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:10,559
they will let the rest of the team know

509
00:29:14,070 --> 00:29:12,720
that it is safe to proceed the team has

510
00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:14,080
been out here for a few days um

511
00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:15,679
preparing setting up equipment they've

512
00:29:19,269 --> 00:29:17,360
done a couple mission dress rehearsals

513
00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:19,279
and and we're definitely ready to go

514
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:21,120
again once the crew module has landed

515
00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:22,480
and all those parts have jettisoned and

516
00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:25,039
landed we will move up to the 500 foot

517
00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:27,600
mark and then proceed to 120 feet and

518
00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:30,080
then move on to the crew module yeah and

519
00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:32,000
as rosa says so gold teams first one in

520
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:33,679
we said everybody's color coded we've

521
00:29:36,950 --> 00:29:35,360
got a silver team they're responsible

522
00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:36,960
for picking up parachutes any other

523
00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:38,720
items like the forward heat shield that

524
00:29:43,590 --> 00:29:41,600
jettisons off we've also got a red team

525
00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:43,600
they've got all of our fire rescue

526
00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:45,760
they've got the access platform

527
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:47,279
for starliner they're also going to be

528
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:48,880
the

529
00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:50,399
open

530
00:30:01,990 --> 00:29:52,799
master cargo folks who are also on hand

531
00:30:05,990 --> 00:30:04,389
location here at white sands space

532
00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:06,000
harbor and you know what starliner can

533
00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:08,000
now be part of that rich history as

534
00:30:12,149 --> 00:30:09,679
again we're bringing starliner home

535
00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:12,159
after being at the iss and again we're

536
00:30:15,909 --> 00:30:14,399
all very excited here it's warm but you

537
00:30:17,350 --> 00:30:15,919
know that's not

538
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:17,360
bothering us at all we're ready to

539
00:30:21,669 --> 00:30:19,360
recover starliner i i prefer this

540
00:30:23,830 --> 00:30:21,679
immensely to last time when it was about

541
00:30:25,669 --> 00:30:23,840
19 degrees out here so this is a lot

542
00:30:27,909 --> 00:30:25,679
more manageable but

543
00:30:30,230 --> 00:30:27,919
so we're gonna get into our cars very

544
00:30:31,750 --> 00:30:30,240
quickly and the team's gonna again we're

545
00:30:33,990 --> 00:30:31,760
gonna hang out here we're kind of at the

546
00:30:39,830 --> 00:30:34,000
outside of a big circle that's cleared

547
00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:41,909
that was uh dan hewitt

548
00:30:46,630 --> 00:30:44,320
out in the new mexico desert uh giving

549
00:30:48,149 --> 00:30:46,640
us an update on on the activities that

550
00:30:51,269 --> 00:30:48,159
the landing and recovery teams are going

551
00:30:54,710 --> 00:30:51,279
through to get ready for today's 5 15 49

552
00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:54,720
p.m central time or 4 49 p.m mountain

553
00:30:59,750 --> 00:30:56,159
time landing

554
00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:01,750
technical difficulties but we do hope to

555
00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:03,600
hear more from them before the day is

556
00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:04,960
over

557
00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:06,320
yeah we will just

558
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:07,919
hang with them a little bit go in and

559
00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:09,760
out when we can

560
00:31:12,789 --> 00:31:10,880
just those

561
00:31:14,149 --> 00:31:12,799
that signal can be difficult out there

562
00:31:16,789 --> 00:31:14,159
in the desert where there's not much

563
00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:16,799
around and so when we do have a healthy

564
00:31:20,230 --> 00:31:18,799
signal we'll go out to them and if we

565
00:31:21,509 --> 00:31:20,240
need to take

566
00:31:23,110 --> 00:31:21,519
a phone interview for them we can do

567
00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:23,120
that as well we have some options there

568
00:31:26,870 --> 00:31:24,720
so i also want to mention you may have

569
00:31:28,950 --> 00:31:26,880
noticed they had on sunglasses

570
00:31:30,389 --> 00:31:28,960
besides the fact that it just looks cool

571
00:31:34,070 --> 00:31:30,399
they are actually wearing those for

572
00:31:36,149 --> 00:31:34,080
safety today that white sand out there

573
00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:36,159
it can actually do some damage to your

574
00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:37,760
eyes so it's important that they have on

575
00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:39,760
sunglasses while they're out there and

576
00:31:44,389 --> 00:31:41,840
you can see some more of our crew there

577
00:32:15,430 --> 00:31:44,399
setting up alongside the convoy

578
00:32:18,789 --> 00:32:16,870
while we continue to see some of the

579
00:32:20,630 --> 00:32:18,799
shots i'm from landing a recovery team

580
00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:20,640
out in the desert i wanted to give you

581
00:32:25,669 --> 00:32:23,039
kind of a rundown of what to expect

582
00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:25,679
coming up between now and then to 5 49

583
00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:27,360
p.m landing

584
00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:28,720
you mentioned earlier that the next big

585
00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:30,159
milestone was going to be entry

586
00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:32,320
interface that's when uh starliner will

587
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:33,600
begin to feel the effects of the

588
00:32:37,590 --> 00:32:34,880
atmosphere

589
00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:37,600
that is still about 17 minutes away

590
00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:40,240
should happen around 5 33 p.m

591
00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:41,600
and then the plasma should start to

592
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:45,039
build up around 5 35 p.m we'll be

593
00:32:49,909 --> 00:32:47,760
through it by 5 40 or so and then after

594
00:32:51,509 --> 00:32:49,919
that 5 44 just five minutes before

595
00:32:54,789 --> 00:32:51,519
landing we'll see starliner jettison

596
00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:56,549
around uh

597
00:33:00,070 --> 00:32:58,000
that has been uh protecting the the

598
00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,080
parachutes from the intense temperatures

599
00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:02,080
of reentry then when starliner's still

600
00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:04,320
about 30 000 feet above the ground the

601
00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:06,000
spacecraft's parachute sequence will

602
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:06,960
begin

603
00:33:12,389 --> 00:33:10,880
starliner down and then they'll detach

604
00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:12,399
and make way for the main show the three

605
00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:14,720
massive parachutes that will

606
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:16,480
take starliner all the way through

607
00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,840
landing

608
00:33:20,789 --> 00:33:19,600
while they continue slowing starliner

609
00:33:22,870 --> 00:33:20,799
down

610
00:33:25,029 --> 00:33:22,880
when the spacecraft is just 3000 feet

611
00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:25,039
off the ground the base heat shield will

612
00:33:29,509 --> 00:33:27,679
jettison and expose starliner's airbags

613
00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:29,519
that touchdown those airbags absorb the

614
00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:31,760
initial force of landing cushioning the

615
00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:34,159
spacecraft for a soft safe return to

616
00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:35,120
earth

617
00:33:38,230 --> 00:33:36,480
starliner has been engineered to be a

618
00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:38,240
reusable spacecraft with a turnaround

619
00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:41,039
time from landing to launch of about six

620
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:42,559
months and this landing on land

621
00:33:49,029 --> 00:33:44,799
capability will help boeing stay on that

622
00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:51,029
and brandy besides that turnaround time

623
00:33:55,350 --> 00:33:53,120
another major benefit of a ground

624
00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:55,360
landing is that our team has the ability

625
00:34:00,789 --> 00:33:58,640
to get crew out of starliner within

626
00:34:02,710 --> 00:34:00,799
really 30 minutes of touchdown

627
00:34:04,710 --> 00:34:02,720
and they can also get the cargo out of

628
00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,720
there within two hours so from a science

629
00:34:09,430 --> 00:34:06,960
perspective that means that we can get

630
00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:09,440
experiments from the space station down

631
00:34:13,909 --> 00:34:12,000
to researchers in record time

632
00:34:15,669 --> 00:34:13,919
i'm sure there are a lot of uh

633
00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:15,679
scientists who are standing by just

634
00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:18,240
waiting for that absolutely again of

635
00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:20,800
course no crew on board today but you

636
00:34:25,990 --> 00:34:23,200
will see our crews doing a lot of things

637
00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:26,000
to prepare its great practice

638
00:36:28,710 --> 00:34:28,399
on this test flight to get us ready for

639
00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:30,790
okay thank you starlin are continuing to

640
00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:32,960
make its way back toward earth following

641
00:36:38,710 --> 00:36:36,560
today's 505 pm central time deorbit burn

642
00:36:41,430 --> 00:36:38,720
everything looking good going uh

643
00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:41,440
going nice and smoothly so far starliner

644
00:36:46,069 --> 00:36:44,480
is currently about 201 miles above the

645
00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:46,079
earth moving

646
00:36:51,190 --> 00:36:49,040
at uh at about a

647
00:36:53,270 --> 00:36:51,200
relative velocity of about 24 marks

648
00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:53,280
about 17 000 miles per hour still but

649
00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:54,800
it's going to be slowing down quickly at

650
00:36:59,910 --> 00:36:57,599
this from here on out as we head towards

651
00:37:01,510 --> 00:36:59,920
the entry interface point that's when

652
00:37:03,190 --> 00:37:01,520
starliner will begin filling the earth's

653
00:37:05,910 --> 00:37:03,200
atmosphere for the first time since its

654
00:37:23,829 --> 00:37:05,920
may 19th launch that's coming up still

655
00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:25,670
starliner will be bringing back with it

656
00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:28,880
about 600 pounds of cargo from the iss

657
00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:31,680
including three nitrogen oxygen recharge

658
00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:34,560
systems are also called noise tanks

659
00:37:39,829 --> 00:37:36,720
and hardware supporting tissue

660
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:39,839
engineering research these are

661
00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:41,760
those tanks they'll be bringing back for

662
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:44,160
nasa as well as many other things that

663
00:37:47,589 --> 00:37:45,040
we

664
00:37:48,790 --> 00:37:47,599
set up in cargo some commemorative items

665
00:37:51,030 --> 00:37:48,800
that will be

666
00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:51,040
headed back to historically black

667
00:37:56,790 --> 00:37:52,880
colleges and universities across the

668
00:38:01,430 --> 00:37:58,950
and ahead of the hatch closure the

669
00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:01,440
astronauts on the iss actually showed us

670
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,280
the american flag that they're keeping

671
00:38:07,829 --> 00:38:05,359
up there it's something we sent up on

672
00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:07,839
starliner and they will keep it there

673
00:38:13,109 --> 00:38:10,800
safely in a secure spot

674
00:39:37,990 --> 00:38:13,119
until astronauts return on starliner's

675
00:39:42,230 --> 00:39:39,910
less than 10 minutes to go before

676
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:42,240
starliner does begin to fill the earth's

677
00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:44,560
atmosphere as we have a few minutes

678
00:39:49,270 --> 00:39:47,280
though we're going to take give you a

679
00:40:06,630 --> 00:39:49,280
a good look at what to expect in the

680
00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:08,630
now it's time to safely bring our

681
00:40:44,550 --> 00:40:28,550
[Music]

682
00:40:47,829 --> 00:40:46,390
but starliner isn't ready to hit the

683
00:40:49,829 --> 00:40:47,839
atmosphere yet

684
00:40:51,670 --> 00:40:49,839
first the disposable service module will

685
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:51,680
separate uncovering the spacecraft's

686
00:40:55,510 --> 00:40:53,760
heat shield and preparing the crew

687
00:40:57,190 --> 00:40:55,520
module to make the final attitude

688
00:40:59,990 --> 00:40:57,200
adjustments to keep that heat shield

689
00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:00,000
pointing at exactly the right angle

690
00:41:11,109 --> 00:41:08,790
faces is of 3000 degrees fahrenheit from

691
00:41:12,550 --> 00:41:11,119
the plaza created by air friction around

692
00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:12,560
the spacecraft

693
00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:14,960
but starliner can handle the heat

694
00:41:31,670 --> 00:41:17,359
at 30 thousand feet in just 11 minutes

695
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:56,970
parachutes will allow

696
00:42:01,270 --> 00:41:58,309
[Music]

697
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:02,470
to make bags

698
00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:04,109
as the first

699
00:42:24,630 --> 00:42:22,470
that was a graphical depiction of what

700
00:42:26,230 --> 00:42:24,640
we hope to see live here in just the

701
00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:26,240
next few minutes we're about 22 minutes

702
00:42:30,190 --> 00:42:28,400
away from starliner's landing today and

703
00:42:33,589 --> 00:42:30,200
you're seeing here a view from nasa's

704
00:42:35,430 --> 00:42:33,599
wb-57 aircraft

705
00:42:37,349 --> 00:42:35,440
they'll be uh hopefully providing us

706
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:37,359
live views of star redliners returned to

707
00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:39,200
earth they took off from ellington

708
00:42:44,710 --> 00:42:41,520
airport here in houston just before 3 pm

709
00:42:45,510 --> 00:42:44,720
central to make their way to white sands

710
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:45,520
they've

711
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:47,040
attended many

712
00:42:50,390 --> 00:42:49,040
landings now and often give us a great

713
00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:50,400
video so we're hoping to get some good

714
00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:52,720
stuff there we are still about six

715
00:42:57,510 --> 00:42:54,960
minutes away from entry interface and uh

716
00:42:59,589 --> 00:42:57,520
starliner is currently about 140 miles

717
00:43:03,910 --> 00:42:59,599
above the earth and dropping steadily

718
00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:05,510
yeah and that shot will be the very

719
00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:07,920
first time we will see starliner as it

720
00:43:12,069 --> 00:43:09,839
makes its re-entry into earth's

721
00:43:14,230 --> 00:43:12,079
atmosphere

722
00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:14,240
and before we are able to take some of

723
00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:16,720
those live views from our crews there in

724
00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:32,069
i can tell you some of the information

725
00:43:35,510 --> 00:43:34,319
we've been able to learn about the

726
00:43:37,270 --> 00:43:35,520
inside

727
00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:37,280
of the cabin right now is that the

728
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:38,640
temperature is

729
00:44:01,589 --> 00:43:39,680
a

730
00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:01,599
whoever wins their choice of

731
00:44:17,109 --> 00:44:03,040
a little bit colder or a little bit

732
00:44:23,109 --> 00:44:18,950
starliner continuing to make its descent

733
00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:23,119
now about 127 miles above the earth

734
00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:25,200
losing altitude steadily we've still got

735
00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:26,880
about five minutes to go before we hit

736
00:44:30,950 --> 00:44:28,560
entry interface and after that it'll be

737
00:44:33,030 --> 00:44:30,960
another five minutes before we see that

738
00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:33,040
period of plasma buildup that we talked

739
00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:34,560
about earlier

740
00:44:44,309 --> 00:44:37,520
expecting that to happen around 5 40 and

741
00:44:47,589 --> 00:44:46,150
and after entry interface things will

742
00:44:48,550 --> 00:44:47,599
start happening just a little bit

743
00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:48,560
quicker

744
00:44:51,190 --> 00:44:50,400
and the closer we get to the ground the

745
00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:51,200
more

746
00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:52,240
things

747
00:44:55,670 --> 00:44:53,440
will happen

748
00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:55,680
pretty fast

749
00:44:59,270 --> 00:44:57,520
yep once we get to the heat shield

750
00:45:00,950 --> 00:44:59,280
jettison and everything is about a

751
00:45:02,230 --> 00:45:00,960
minute apart

752
00:45:38,230 --> 00:45:02,240
it's a little hard to keep up with at

753
00:45:43,349 --> 00:45:40,950
as i mentioned earlier we have been

754
00:45:45,270 --> 00:45:43,359
marking off a lot of test objectives

755
00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:45,280
that have been met during this

756
00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:46,640
flight test

757
00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:48,960
over the last few days another one the

758
00:45:53,430 --> 00:45:51,520
vision based electro optical sensor and

759
00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:53,440
tracking assembly you may have heard it

760
00:45:57,910 --> 00:45:55,680
referred to as vesta

761
00:46:01,910 --> 00:45:57,920
and flight data files transferred from

762
00:46:04,630 --> 00:46:01,920
the starliner to iss for downlink

763
00:46:07,270 --> 00:46:04,640
we really had the opportunity um to

764
00:46:09,270 --> 00:46:07,280
retrieve the data while still there on

765
00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:09,280
the iss instead of having to wait for

766
00:46:12,790 --> 00:46:10,400
return

767
00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:12,800
but this time with images that were

768
00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:15,200
taken by our vesta system

769
00:46:18,790 --> 00:46:16,720
and some of the flight controllers that

770
00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:18,800
i've talked to really say that the vesta

771
00:46:22,069 --> 00:46:19,920
system

772
00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:22,079
is one of the most interesting parts for

773
00:46:25,430 --> 00:46:23,040
them

774
00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:25,440
of starliner just the way that it is

775
00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:29,760
able to be the eyes of starliner and

776
00:46:33,349 --> 00:46:31,920
really see it as if we would see it with

777
00:46:35,510 --> 00:46:33,359
our own eyes approaching the

778
00:46:36,870 --> 00:46:35,520
international space station

779
00:46:38,870 --> 00:46:36,880
it is able to

780
00:46:40,870 --> 00:46:38,880
see markings on the space station and

781
00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:40,880
the shape of the space station

782
00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:44,240
to delicately guide starliner into that

783
00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:46,000
rendezvous process

784
00:46:58,390 --> 00:46:55,589
we were also able to evaluate onboard

785
00:47:00,230 --> 00:46:58,400
tablets to include transferring files

786
00:47:02,870 --> 00:47:00,240
from the ground to the tablet through

787
00:47:04,470 --> 00:47:02,880
the iss assets and so you can kind of

788
00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:04,480
think of this as instead of carrying

789
00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:07,040
around a big binder of a bunch of papers

790
00:47:11,589 --> 00:47:09,520
documents they're able to

791
00:47:15,270 --> 00:47:11,599
upload real-time procedures to those

792
00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:15,280
tablets so of course it's 2022 and a lot

793
00:47:19,349 --> 00:47:16,560
of things we did

794
00:47:21,349 --> 00:47:19,359
with paper in hand before but even there

795
00:47:31,750 --> 00:47:21,359
on the international space station

796
00:48:58,470 --> 00:47:33,349
and we are just under two minutes to

797
00:49:31,750 --> 00:48:59,990
30 seconds to go now until entry

798
00:49:35,589 --> 00:49:33,190
and we've reached the point of entry

799
00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:35,599
interface starliner is now 400 000 feet

800
00:49:39,589 --> 00:49:38,319
above the planet and beginning to feel

801
00:49:42,069 --> 00:49:39,599
the effects of earth's atmosphere of the

802
00:49:43,670 --> 00:49:42,079
first time since may 19th

803
00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:43,680
due to the compression and friction of

804
00:49:47,990 --> 00:49:45,599
the air the molecules generate a very

805
00:49:49,589 --> 00:49:48,000
hot plasma which creates the red orange

806
00:49:51,589 --> 00:49:49,599
glow you may have seen in post-flight

807
00:49:52,630 --> 00:49:51,599
imagery from other spacecraft

808
00:49:56,549 --> 00:49:52,640
plasma

809
00:49:58,870 --> 00:49:56,559
actually causes a momentary and expected

810
00:50:00,630 --> 00:49:58,880
communication drop with the vehicle as

811
00:50:02,710 --> 00:50:00,640
the plasma briefly gets in the way of

812
00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:02,720
satellite signals

813
00:50:06,309 --> 00:50:04,800
that period of plasma buildup lasts

814
00:50:08,790 --> 00:50:06,319
about five minutes and we should come

815
00:50:14,069 --> 00:50:08,800
out on the other side of it around 5 40

816
00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:15,750
and starliner will enter earth's

817
00:50:20,470 --> 00:50:18,240
atmosphere at 17 times the speed of

818
00:50:22,150 --> 00:50:20,480
sound so that could actually create a

819
00:50:26,950 --> 00:50:22,160
sonic boom for any folks who are living

820
00:50:31,270 --> 00:50:28,870
it will then be slowed by parachutes to

821
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:31,280
a speed you may experience for example

822
00:50:35,030 --> 00:50:33,040
while going down an elevator inside a

823
00:50:36,390 --> 00:50:35,040
skyscraper if you can think of that

824
00:50:37,829 --> 00:50:36,400
feeling

825
00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:37,839
that is what our astronauts would be

826
00:50:41,030 --> 00:50:39,119
feeling inside

827
00:50:45,430 --> 00:50:41,040
the vehicle then comes to a safe

828
00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:49,109
and you can see in this view i i

829
00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:50,800
an idea of what a track it will be

830
00:50:56,150 --> 00:50:53,440
taking as it comes into new mexico it'll

831
00:50:59,750 --> 00:50:56,160
go over the baja peninsula and

832
00:51:02,069 --> 00:50:59,760
just uh just a small corner of mexico an

833
00:51:07,349 --> 00:51:02,079
even smaller corner of arizona before it

834
00:51:11,349 --> 00:51:09,349
we're actually probably just mexico

835
00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:11,359
looks like it will just miss arizona but

836
00:51:17,270 --> 00:51:13,359
uh but it will be going over the baja

837
00:51:20,230 --> 00:51:18,710
so if you're watching from that area you

838
00:51:32,710 --> 00:51:20,240
might be able to look up and see

839
00:51:36,950 --> 00:51:34,150
here reports that the landing and

840
00:51:39,750 --> 00:51:36,960
recovery team is uh receiving data from

841
00:51:41,589 --> 00:51:39,760
starliner at this point

842
00:51:43,270 --> 00:51:41,599
we'll have a few minutes where things

843
00:51:44,710 --> 00:51:43,280
are still reasonably quiet and then a

844
00:51:46,710 --> 00:51:44,720
lot is going to happen at once with the

845
00:51:47,990 --> 00:51:46,720
forward heat shield jettisoning to make

846
00:51:50,150 --> 00:51:48,000
way for the parachutes to begin

847
00:51:51,270 --> 00:51:50,160
deploying we're in the final stretch now

848
00:51:53,430 --> 00:51:51,280
though

849
00:51:55,910 --> 00:51:53,440
of the landing of starliner's second

850
00:52:40,470 --> 00:51:55,920
orbital flight test with landing now

851
00:52:45,510 --> 00:52:42,390
so there on your screen you're taking a

852
00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:45,520
look at that shot from the w b 57 that's

853
00:52:49,430 --> 00:52:47,200
nasa's

854
00:52:51,030 --> 00:52:49,440
space plane that will give us a great

855
00:52:53,109 --> 00:52:51,040
shot

856
00:53:10,549 --> 00:52:53,119
as soon as we're able to start seeing

857
00:53:15,190 --> 00:53:12,230
we are now about 12 minutes away from

858
00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:15,200
landing

859
00:53:18,390 --> 00:53:16,480
we're at that point in the flight where

860
00:53:19,990 --> 00:53:18,400
plasmas began to build up around

861
00:53:21,829 --> 00:53:20,000
starliner that

862
00:53:24,470 --> 00:53:21,839
will last about five minutes should be

863
00:53:26,630 --> 00:53:24,480
out of it around 5 40. in the meantime

864
00:53:28,470 --> 00:53:26,640
the flight control team had transferred

865
00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:28,480
to closed loop guardians initiation

866
00:53:36,950 --> 00:53:32,319
letting starliner have complete control

867
00:53:41,030 --> 00:53:39,349
next major uh milestone once we get out

868
00:53:43,190 --> 00:53:41,040
of the plasma

869
00:54:12,309 --> 00:53:43,200
will be the ford heat shield jettison

870
00:54:16,150 --> 00:54:14,230
seeing a shot here from ground trackers

871
00:54:17,829 --> 00:54:16,160
in new mexico this uh will be another

872
00:54:20,150 --> 00:54:17,839
one of the views we hope will show us

873
00:54:24,870 --> 00:54:20,160
starliner as it comes in for its landing

874
00:54:30,790 --> 00:54:26,549
and this uh

875
00:54:32,630 --> 00:54:30,800
uh just a view of the desert uh and uh

876
00:54:37,670 --> 00:54:32,640
this is where uh the landing and

877
00:54:41,670 --> 00:54:39,349
getting ready to deploy out to the

878
00:55:00,470 --> 00:54:41,680
landing site once starliner does touch

879
00:55:05,270 --> 00:55:02,870
and on starliner's last flight we landed

880
00:55:06,710 --> 00:55:05,280
at night in the darkness so

881
00:55:08,549 --> 00:55:06,720
this will really be the first time we'll

882
00:55:10,230 --> 00:55:08,559
have daylight views of the spacecraft

883
00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:10,240
after it reenters

884
00:55:14,950 --> 00:55:12,720
and under the canopy of its parachutes

885
00:55:18,230 --> 00:55:14,960
so it'll be a real sight for our teams

886
00:55:21,190 --> 00:55:18,240
there and for folks across the country

887
00:55:34,630 --> 00:55:21,200
our first time really to see starliner

888
00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:36,150
we also heard that the crew on board the

889
00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:37,760
international space station is going to

890
00:55:42,950 --> 00:55:40,880
be watching landing they uh of course

891
00:55:45,190 --> 00:55:42,960
spent some quality time with starliner

892
00:55:47,030 --> 00:55:45,200
since it docked to the station on

893
00:55:49,430 --> 00:55:47,040
mar may 20th

894
00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:49,440
and uh saw it off earlier today that's

895
00:55:54,150 --> 00:55:52,079
sergey korsakov oleg artemyev

896
00:55:55,670 --> 00:55:54,160
niece matiev and

897
00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:55,680
chell lindgren

898
00:56:16,470 --> 00:55:57,839
bob hines jessica watkins and samantha

899
00:56:21,190 --> 00:56:19,430
once again receiving uh data from the

900
00:56:23,030 --> 00:56:21,200
starliner now that it's passed through

901
00:56:24,870 --> 00:56:23,040
that plasma buildup

902
00:56:26,950 --> 00:56:24,880
everything going well as it makes its

903
00:56:29,589 --> 00:56:26,960
way across this uh track that you can

904
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:29,599
see heading towards and landing in the

905
00:56:35,990 --> 00:56:30,890
new mexico desert

906
00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:37,349
teams on the ground reporting good

907
00:57:01,109 --> 00:56:55,190
and there are our very first shots of

908
00:57:05,510 --> 00:57:02,870
starliner's uh

909
00:57:08,470 --> 00:57:05,520
still got about eight minutes left in

910
00:57:10,069 --> 00:57:08,480
this flight and hasn't even

911
00:57:11,910 --> 00:57:10,079
begun deploying its heat shield yet

912
00:57:14,150 --> 00:57:11,920
that'll that'll start here in just the

913
00:57:15,910 --> 00:57:14,160
next few minutes uh still about three

914
00:57:17,510 --> 00:57:15,920
minutes away for the before the first

915
00:57:18,950 --> 00:57:17,520
parachutes begin to deploy and of course

916
00:57:23,589 --> 00:57:18,960
before that we'll see the forward heat

917
00:57:26,710 --> 00:57:25,270
but everything going well teams here on

918
00:57:29,589 --> 00:57:26,720
the ground

919
00:57:30,950 --> 00:57:29,599
seeing good data

920
00:57:46,630 --> 00:57:30,960
and hopefully we'll get a better and

921
00:57:51,670 --> 00:57:48,230
and that shot there on the left side of

922
00:57:54,230 --> 00:57:51,680
your screen now from the ground tracker

923
00:57:57,270 --> 00:57:54,240
so we have two views now of starliner as

924
00:57:59,030 --> 00:57:57,280
it makes its final approach to

925
00:58:01,829 --> 00:57:59,040
its landing zone there in white sands

926
00:58:05,990 --> 00:58:04,710
and the team here in the

927
00:58:07,670 --> 00:58:06,000
in mission control reporting that

928
00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:07,680
they've heard from the landing recovery

929
00:58:11,109 --> 00:58:09,680
teams that they're also seeing starliner

930
00:58:13,510 --> 00:58:11,119
they'll have of course the front row

931
00:58:19,349 --> 00:58:13,520
seats but we'll try and piggyback on

932
01:00:00,150 --> 00:58:21,030
we are just under seven minutes away

933
01:00:03,270 --> 01:00:01,510
switching back to this graphic for just

934
01:00:11,270 --> 01:00:03,280
a moment as we wait for the forward heat

935
01:00:15,190 --> 01:00:13,270
and we are starting to get a more clear

936
01:00:16,789 --> 01:00:15,200
view of starliner now

937
01:00:28,789 --> 01:00:16,799
we should be seeing the forward heat

938
01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:30,230
and the forward heat shield has now

939
01:00:33,670 --> 01:00:32,160
jettisoned that heat shield protected

940
01:00:35,670 --> 01:00:33,680
the spacecraft through those thermal

941
01:00:38,069 --> 01:00:35,680
loads during re-entry

942
01:00:39,829 --> 01:00:38,079
and drugs are out

943
01:00:41,510 --> 01:00:39,839
two drug parachutes slowing starliner

944
01:00:43,589 --> 01:00:41,520
speed and drag they're going to reef to

945
01:00:44,870 --> 01:00:43,599
a wider opening and start slow starliner

946
01:01:02,230 --> 01:00:44,880
down enough for the main shoots to

947
01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:04,390
main parachute deploy just about 30

948
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,390
view here from the ground tracker

949
01:01:52,950 --> 01:01:50,789
and mains are now out we see three

950
01:01:54,870 --> 01:01:52,960
parachutes coming out here

951
01:01:57,109 --> 01:01:54,880
starliner has another eight thousand

952
01:01:58,950 --> 01:01:57,119
feet toward the landing

953
01:02:00,390 --> 01:01:58,960
those three parachutes are starting to

954
01:02:08,950 --> 01:02:00,400
inflate now you can see them right there

955
01:02:12,950 --> 01:02:11,109
and the main parachutes are reefing open

956
01:02:14,789 --> 01:02:12,960
right there continuous slowing

957
01:02:31,270 --> 01:02:14,799
starlighter down

958
01:02:35,270 --> 01:02:33,270
starliner will be drifting down for

959
01:02:37,349 --> 01:02:35,280
another two and a half or so minutes

960
01:02:39,029 --> 01:02:37,359
before it makes its touchdown but all

961
01:02:40,470 --> 01:02:39,039
going smoothly

962
01:02:42,789 --> 01:02:40,480
and we didn't just hear the rotation

963
01:02:47,990 --> 01:02:42,799
handle was released that will help level

964
01:02:51,270 --> 01:02:49,910
and there goes the base heat shield

965
01:02:52,950 --> 01:02:51,280
right there in front of you it just

966
01:02:55,109 --> 01:02:52,960
jettisoned you can see it falling away

967
01:02:57,029 --> 01:02:55,119
from the spacecraft it will reveal the

968
01:03:01,670 --> 01:02:57,039
airbags that will cushion starliner's

969
01:03:06,390 --> 01:03:03,829
and those airbags are now inflating

970
01:03:11,349 --> 01:03:06,400
starliner is two minutes 40 seconds from

971
01:03:11,359 --> 01:03:15,990
actually closer to two minutes now

972
01:03:19,430 --> 01:03:18,230
you can see those airbags right there on

973
01:03:23,270 --> 01:03:19,440
your screen

974
01:03:26,870 --> 01:03:24,789
those will come in real handy when we

975
01:03:29,990 --> 01:03:26,880
have crew on board for the crew flight

976
01:03:31,910 --> 01:03:30,000
test of starliner in a few months

977
01:03:33,460 --> 01:03:31,920
help ensure that the crew gets a nice

978
01:03:35,589 --> 01:03:33,470
soft touchdown

979
01:03:37,430 --> 01:03:35,599
[Music]

980
01:03:39,589 --> 01:03:37,440
and those bags are filled with nitrogen

981
01:03:49,270 --> 01:03:39,599
as they guide starliner safely back to

982
01:03:55,190 --> 01:03:50,630
flight controllers here in the room

983
01:04:05,349 --> 01:03:56,950
everything going exactly how we want to

984
01:04:08,950 --> 01:04:07,029
we are just coming up on about one

985
01:04:12,470 --> 01:04:08,960
minute away from touchdown there in

986
01:04:14,150 --> 01:04:12,480
white sands new mexico

987
01:04:15,910 --> 01:04:14,160
exact touchdown time will vary a little

988
01:04:17,589 --> 01:04:15,920
bit depending on the winds at the

989
01:04:24,710 --> 01:04:17,599
landing site but everything's going

990
01:05:01,109 --> 01:04:26,230
and i bet the teams there at the landing

991
01:05:05,910 --> 01:05:03,190
continuing to see views from the ground

992
01:05:06,829 --> 01:05:05,920
trackers on on site

993
01:05:09,109 --> 01:05:06,839
in new

994
01:05:10,710 --> 01:05:09,119
mexico just a second let's see the

995
01:05:15,190 --> 01:05:10,720
mountains coming into frame there we're

996
01:05:19,510 --> 01:05:17,910
and touchdown starliner

997
01:05:21,990 --> 01:05:19,520
we're touching down in the desert of new

998
01:05:23,750 --> 01:05:22,000
mexico marking the completion of orbital

999
01:05:27,270 --> 01:05:23,760
flight test two

1000
01:05:29,670 --> 01:05:27,280
and that touchdown coming at 5 49 pm

1001
01:05:31,029 --> 01:05:29,680
central time almost exactly six days

1002
01:05:32,950 --> 01:05:31,039
into the mission

1003
01:05:35,190 --> 01:05:32,960
just a beautiful touchdown in white

1004
01:05:37,029 --> 01:05:35,200
sands this evening

1005
01:05:38,870 --> 01:05:37,039
our landing recovery teams will now wait

1006
01:05:43,990 --> 01:05:38,880
for clearance before making their way to

1007
01:06:12,470 --> 01:05:45,510
and we can hear some clapping and

1008
01:06:16,470 --> 01:06:14,230
and we're going to go live to our team

1009
01:06:19,109 --> 01:06:16,480
now that is out there right at the

1010
01:06:21,829 --> 01:06:19,119
landing zone getting getting close and

1011
01:06:24,309 --> 01:06:21,839
we have nasa's dan hewitt and boeing's

1012
01:06:26,630 --> 01:06:24,319
rosa banuelos guys how does it look from

1013
01:06:28,789 --> 01:06:26,640
the ground

1014
01:06:30,710 --> 01:06:28,799
thanks lauren it's hard to describe the

1015
01:06:32,069 --> 01:06:30,720
feeling that the team here is going

1016
01:06:34,069 --> 01:06:32,079
through again we just saw those

1017
01:06:36,309 --> 01:06:34,079
beautiful red white and blue parachutes

1018
01:06:38,390 --> 01:06:36,319
deploy we're able to visually see the

1019
01:06:40,950 --> 01:06:38,400
ford heat shield um i'm sorry the base

1020
01:06:44,309 --> 01:06:40,960
heat shield also a jettison and and you

1021
01:06:46,309 --> 01:06:44,319
know uh open those um air bags when

1022
01:06:47,829 --> 01:06:46,319
obviously they fill the nitrogen so

1023
01:06:50,150 --> 01:06:47,839
we're on the move from the blue team

1024
01:06:52,710 --> 01:06:50,160
vehicle again we're driving in parallel

1025
01:06:55,270 --> 01:06:52,720
to the um historical runway here for the

1026
01:06:56,950 --> 01:06:55,280
columbia shuttle landing um again where

1027
01:06:59,190 --> 01:06:56,960
the first stop is going to be the 500

1028
01:07:02,069 --> 01:06:59,200
foot mark um we're driving pretty slow

1029
01:07:05,270 --> 01:07:02,079
here about 25 miles um along the white

1030
01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:05,280
sands gypsum um sand uh once you get to

1031
01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:08,160
the 500 mark um the first team will move

1032
01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:09,760
uh into the first thing that will move

1033
01:07:13,589 --> 01:07:12,000
into the 120 volt mark will be the gold

1034
01:07:15,349 --> 01:07:13,599
team and then we'll do that they will do

1035
01:07:17,430 --> 01:07:15,359
that first visual assessment before they

1036
01:07:19,750 --> 01:07:17,440
give the clear uh for the rest of the

1037
01:07:21,910 --> 01:07:19,760
team to approach the crew module after

1038
01:07:23,990 --> 01:07:21,920
that we have the silver team who will

1039
01:07:26,549 --> 01:07:24,000
strongly symbolize the vehicle um it

1040
01:07:28,470 --> 01:07:26,559
will be sent in command to power down

1041
01:07:29,270 --> 01:07:28,480
and they will also um

1042
01:07:35,829 --> 01:07:29,280
cover

1043
01:07:37,430 --> 01:07:35,839
then after that team we have um our

1044
01:07:39,430 --> 01:07:37,440
teams again we're going to try to give

1045
01:07:42,069 --> 01:07:39,440
you um some of those live looks as we

1046
01:07:43,670 --> 01:07:42,079
get closer to the cool module um and

1047
01:07:46,309 --> 01:07:43,680
then proceeding that we have the green

1048
01:07:47,670 --> 01:07:46,319
team who will uh provide ground cooling

1049
01:07:49,670 --> 01:07:47,680
to the vehicle which is really important

1050
01:07:52,390 --> 01:07:49,680
to keep those precise safe from

1051
01:07:53,589 --> 01:07:52,400
overheating um and then we have the red

1052
01:07:56,390 --> 01:07:53,599
team who is mainly made out of the

1053
01:07:58,710 --> 01:07:56,400
flowing medical personnel and then we

1054
01:08:01,750 --> 01:07:58,720
have uh the hatch opening and then any

1055
01:08:03,349 --> 01:08:01,760
of the cargo um removal again we're

1056
01:08:05,190 --> 01:08:03,359
driving pretty slow leverage for heading

1057
01:08:07,190 --> 01:08:05,200
to the pro module and it up when the two

1058
01:08:08,630 --> 01:08:07,200
module uses a hypergolic propellant that

1059
01:08:10,710 --> 01:08:08,640
when it does turn into vapor it can be

1060
01:08:12,230 --> 01:08:10,720
very toxic so we take that very

1061
01:08:14,309 --> 01:08:12,240
seriously um we

1062
01:08:16,309 --> 01:08:14,319
safety is the number one um concern and

1063
01:08:18,070 --> 01:08:16,319
priority for the flight crew and from

1064
01:08:19,910 --> 01:08:18,080
the team here on the ground so when the

1065
01:08:21,749 --> 01:08:19,920
gold team does arrive they will be

1066
01:08:23,829 --> 01:08:21,759
monitoring that throughout the whole

1067
01:08:26,470 --> 01:08:23,839
operation again the first stop is the

1068
01:08:28,149 --> 01:08:26,480
500 foot mark and um again

1069
01:08:29,590 --> 01:08:28,159
if you hear the rush of my voice you

1070
01:08:31,510 --> 01:08:29,600
definitely have a

1071
01:08:33,749 --> 01:08:31,520
sight to see um

1072
01:08:37,430 --> 01:08:33,759
for all this just uh going here it's

1073
01:08:42,470 --> 01:08:39,669
and hey i don't have a whole lot else to

1074
01:08:45,030 --> 01:08:42,480
add it was pretty surreal as uh

1075
01:08:47,510 --> 01:08:45,040
starliner just almost seemed to

1076
01:08:48,950 --> 01:08:47,520
materialize in thin air directly above

1077
01:08:51,430 --> 01:08:48,960
us we were able to see it come down

1078
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:51,440
under both strokes see those deploy

1079
01:08:54,950 --> 01:08:53,839
uh see all three good names we were

1080
01:08:57,110 --> 01:08:54,960
treated to

1081
01:08:59,189 --> 01:08:57,120
what i believe was the sonic boom or

1082
01:09:01,030 --> 01:08:59,199
that may have been uh some of the cairo

1083
01:09:03,030 --> 01:09:01,040
events but i kind of announced

1084
01:09:04,470 --> 01:09:03,040
starliner's arrival to the desert here

1085
01:09:07,269 --> 01:09:04,480
for us

1086
01:09:08,789 --> 01:09:07,279
as rosa said we're we're on our way in

1087
01:09:10,870 --> 01:09:08,799
as we get closer we're going to get

1088
01:09:12,870 --> 01:09:10,880
closer also to a lot of our transmitting

1089
01:09:14,870 --> 01:09:12,880
hardware so we'll be able to bring less

1090
01:09:15,990 --> 01:09:14,880
because views might even have an eye in

1091
01:09:18,309 --> 01:09:16,000
the sky

1092
01:09:19,110 --> 01:09:18,319
as the teams move in around starladder

1093
01:09:23,669 --> 01:09:19,120
so

1094
01:09:25,349 --> 01:09:23,679
closer great to have starliner back on

1095
01:09:27,990 --> 01:09:25,359
planet earth can't wait to see it up

1096
01:09:29,910 --> 01:09:28,000
close uh and get the teams and it looks

1097
01:09:31,189 --> 01:09:29,920
like it's coming right into view for us

1098
01:09:32,550 --> 01:09:31,199
so we are

1099
01:09:35,349 --> 01:09:32,560
we are still

1100
01:09:37,269 --> 01:09:35,359
about a kilometer or more away i'm

1101
01:09:38,390 --> 01:09:37,279
continuing to close that

1102
01:09:42,309 --> 01:09:38,400
and we'll be

1103
01:09:46,709 --> 01:09:44,229
as dan mentioned we've kind of taken out

1104
01:09:48,470 --> 01:09:46,719
the uh these two modules right ahead of

1105
01:09:50,390 --> 01:09:48,480
us as you can visually see it and it's

1106
01:09:51,669 --> 01:09:50,400
definitely a great sight to see so

1107
01:09:52,709 --> 01:09:51,679
lauren we'll talk to back team we'll

1108
01:09:57,430 --> 01:09:52,719
come back to you as soon as we get

1109
01:10:00,630 --> 01:09:59,590
that was dan hewitt and rosa buenolis

1110
01:10:02,870 --> 01:10:00,640
from

1111
01:10:04,950 --> 01:10:02,880
nasa and boeing respectively giving us a

1112
01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:04,960
report from the convoy currently making

1113
01:10:09,350 --> 01:10:07,760
their way out to starliner as we speak

1114
01:10:11,350 --> 01:10:09,360
you heard them say that they were able

1115
01:10:14,149 --> 01:10:11,360
to hear the sonic booms as uh starliner

1116
01:10:16,070 --> 01:10:14,159
came in for its landing at 5 49 p.m

1117
01:10:17,750 --> 01:10:16,080
central and we are seeing

1118
01:10:20,070 --> 01:10:17,760
some views from

1119
01:10:22,070 --> 01:10:20,080
from cameras there on site some of the

1120
01:10:23,990 --> 01:10:22,080
same ones i think that gave us the the

1121
01:10:26,470 --> 01:10:24,000
views as it was as it was coming down as

1122
01:10:30,070 --> 01:10:28,229
and here's a piece of information that i

1123
01:10:31,750 --> 01:10:30,080
know a lot of people on our team will be

1124
01:10:33,750 --> 01:10:31,760
really happy to hear

1125
01:10:35,990 --> 01:10:33,760
we are told that starliner landed about

1126
01:10:37,350 --> 01:10:36,000
three tenths of a mile southeast of the

1127
01:10:43,750 --> 01:10:37,360
landing site

1128
01:10:47,590 --> 01:10:45,510
you bullseye see those uh

1129
01:10:50,070 --> 01:10:47,600
airbags that we talked out talked about

1130
01:10:51,830 --> 01:10:50,080
earlier that are are um

1131
01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:51,840
intended to give crew on board when we

1132
01:10:56,550 --> 01:10:55,679
have them a nice uh soft landing

1133
01:10:58,790 --> 01:10:56,560
all

1134
01:11:00,149 --> 01:10:58,800
deployed as as planned that's going to

1135
01:11:02,229 --> 01:11:00,159
be one of the things the teams are

1136
01:11:04,310 --> 01:11:02,239
checking on as they do arrive at the

1137
01:11:06,149 --> 01:11:04,320
landing site we've got as you heard um

1138
01:11:08,310 --> 01:11:06,159
them the uh

1139
01:11:09,990 --> 01:11:08,320
dan and rosa mentioning we've got a a

1140
01:11:11,590 --> 01:11:10,000
pretty big group of people who are

1141
01:11:14,630 --> 01:11:11,600
making their way out there because it's

1142
01:11:15,910 --> 01:11:14,640
a pretty big job to recover a spacecraft

1143
01:11:22,229 --> 01:11:15,920
once it is

1144
01:11:26,070 --> 01:11:24,790
and we're also hearing from here on the

1145
01:11:28,870 --> 01:11:26,080
from here in mission control that the

1146
01:11:31,110 --> 01:11:28,880
post landing power down of starliner is

1147
01:11:33,990 --> 01:11:31,120
in work

1148
01:11:36,550 --> 01:11:34,000
that's one of the key

1149
01:11:39,590 --> 01:11:36,560
milestones and getting the starliner

1150
01:11:41,189 --> 01:11:39,600
ready for its recovery

1151
01:11:43,669 --> 01:11:41,199
and our team just checked the cabin

1152
01:11:47,030 --> 01:11:43,679
temperature inside it is 74 degrees

1153
01:11:58,149 --> 01:11:48,709
much more comfortable than our team out

1154
01:12:01,350 --> 01:11:59,669
and you may have noticed just a few

1155
01:12:02,630 --> 01:12:01,360
seconds after starliner made its

1156
01:12:05,030 --> 01:12:02,640
touchdown

1157
01:12:07,189 --> 01:12:05,040
the main chutes fall away from the

1158
01:12:08,790 --> 01:12:07,199
spacecraft and that just

1159
01:12:11,110 --> 01:12:08,800
keeps those shoots from catching any

1160
01:12:13,189 --> 01:12:11,120
wind that could drag the capsule

1161
01:12:15,270 --> 01:12:13,199
which obviously makes things easier for

1162
01:12:17,030 --> 01:12:15,280
the landing team as they begin to make

1163
01:12:26,470 --> 01:12:17,040
their way toward the vehicle and start

1164
01:12:30,310 --> 01:12:28,149
once again if you missed it uh the

1165
01:12:33,030 --> 01:12:30,320
starliner touched down at 5 49 p.m

1166
01:12:34,790 --> 01:12:33,040
central time that's 4 49 pm mountain

1167
01:12:36,950 --> 01:12:34,800
time crew on board the international

1168
01:12:37,910 --> 01:12:36,960
space station was watching as it touched

1169
01:12:40,790 --> 01:12:37,920
down

1170
01:12:42,790 --> 01:12:40,800
giving it one last proper send off

1171
01:12:45,430 --> 01:12:42,800
now we are just waiting for the recovery

1172
01:12:47,270 --> 01:12:45,440
teams to get out to the vehicle

1173
01:12:50,070 --> 01:12:47,280
you can see i think uh looks like we've

1174
01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:50,080
got video from one of the cars here on

1175
01:12:54,070 --> 01:12:52,080
the bottom right hand side of the screen

1176
01:12:55,189 --> 01:12:54,080
as they're making their way out at last

1177
01:12:56,550 --> 01:12:55,199
heard from them a couple minutes ago

1178
01:12:58,709 --> 01:12:56,560
that they were still about a kilometer

1179
01:13:00,870 --> 01:12:58,719
away so they should be arriving pretty

1180
01:13:02,950 --> 01:13:00,880
quickly

1181
01:13:04,870 --> 01:13:02,960
and then they'll begin the

1182
01:13:08,070 --> 01:13:04,880
long process of

1183
01:13:22,870 --> 01:13:08,080
getting the starliner ready to

1184
01:13:27,350 --> 01:13:24,630
one of the major benefits of being able

1185
01:13:29,350 --> 01:13:27,360
to land on land like this is not having

1186
01:13:32,790 --> 01:13:29,360
to battle that uh

1187
01:13:35,830 --> 01:13:32,800
harsh salt water that could be you know

1188
01:13:37,510 --> 01:13:35,840
have an impact on the spacecraft

1189
01:13:39,350 --> 01:13:37,520
in the water

1190
01:13:42,229 --> 01:13:39,360
and of course this is a reusable

1191
01:13:56,149 --> 01:13:42,239
spacecraft we plan to reuse it up to 10

1192
01:14:00,390 --> 01:13:58,229
we place a great deal of emphasis on

1193
01:14:01,750 --> 01:14:00,400
testing our systems on the ground and in

1194
01:14:04,470 --> 01:14:01,760
space

1195
01:14:05,990 --> 01:14:04,480
before our first crude flight test so

1196
01:14:09,750 --> 01:14:06,000
our teams have learned a tremendous

1197
01:14:13,830 --> 01:14:11,990
we have also extensively tested our

1198
01:14:16,390 --> 01:14:13,840
parachutes and airbags before this

1199
01:14:18,310 --> 01:14:16,400
flight so very happy to see them

1200
01:14:34,310 --> 01:14:18,320
work nominally and

1201
01:14:43,669 --> 01:14:36,229
starting to see some of the recovery

1202
01:14:48,149 --> 01:14:45,830
the very first vehicle that we will see

1203
01:14:50,149 --> 01:14:48,159
on site is the command vehicle

1204
01:14:51,910 --> 01:14:50,159
they are at the front of the convoy and

1205
01:14:53,590 --> 01:14:51,920
where the recovery ops leader and

1206
01:14:55,350 --> 01:14:53,600
recovery director

1207
01:15:23,910 --> 01:14:55,360
who are in charge of the entire

1208
01:15:29,110 --> 01:15:27,110
power down of starliner is still uh

1209
01:15:31,830 --> 01:15:29,120
going on uh getting everything turned

1210
01:15:34,149 --> 01:15:31,840
off so that the team here in houston can

1211
01:15:35,910 --> 01:15:34,159
turn the vehicle officially the

1212
01:15:37,669 --> 01:15:35,920
spacecraft officially over to the

1213
01:15:40,310 --> 01:15:37,679
recovery team who we can see is just

1214
01:15:51,430 --> 01:15:40,320
arriving here in the top right hand

1215
01:15:55,510 --> 01:15:53,030
the recovery uh

1216
01:15:57,669 --> 01:15:55,520
recovery director is uh

1217
01:16:15,590 --> 01:15:57,679
in the command vehicle

1218
01:16:24,149 --> 01:16:17,430
now you see a lot of that team starting

1219
01:16:27,030 --> 01:16:25,910
and our gold team will be the first to

1220
01:16:36,149 --> 01:16:27,040
arrive

1221
01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:38,630
as you heard dan and rosa say they are

1222
01:16:42,550 --> 01:16:41,040
the first the vehicle so they do a sniff

1223
01:16:44,229 --> 01:16:42,560
test for hydrogen making sure that

1224
01:16:46,630 --> 01:16:44,239
there's none of that in the air that

1225
01:16:48,709 --> 01:16:46,640
could hurt um any of the recovery team

1226
01:16:51,110 --> 01:16:48,719
members they'll be wearing hazmat suits

1227
01:16:52,390 --> 01:16:51,120
to protect them from any they might find

1228
01:16:54,310 --> 01:16:52,400
hopefully that'll be clear though and

1229
01:17:04,630 --> 01:16:54,320
then the rest of the team members

1230
01:17:09,910 --> 01:17:06,790
those hazmat suits are there to prevent

1231
01:17:12,950 --> 01:17:09,920
exposure to hypergolic propellants and

1232
01:17:14,950 --> 01:17:12,960
hydrazine is used as a propellant and if

1233
01:17:16,470 --> 01:17:14,960
it turns into a vapor it can be very

1234
01:17:19,189 --> 01:17:16,480
toxic so

1235
01:17:20,870 --> 01:17:19,199
they use special sensors to sniff for it

1236
01:17:28,630 --> 01:17:20,880
and then they're able to notify the rest

1237
01:17:31,910 --> 01:17:30,229
that team will also check the wind to

1238
01:17:33,830 --> 01:17:31,920
make sure that the entire landing and

1239
01:17:35,510 --> 01:17:33,840
recovery team is staged

1240
01:17:37,189 --> 01:17:35,520
up range

1241
01:17:38,870 --> 01:17:37,199
from the direction the wind is blowing

1242
01:17:47,590 --> 01:17:38,880
just for an added

1243
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:59,189
parties

1244
01:18:03,030 --> 01:18:01,430
we also are starting to get some photos

1245
01:18:04,709 --> 01:18:03,040
from the members of the recovery team

1246
01:18:06,790 --> 01:18:04,719
we've got one here to show from you from

1247
01:18:08,870 --> 01:18:06,800
bill ingles nasa photographer as

1248
01:18:12,310 --> 01:18:08,880
starliner was making its way down for

1249
01:18:14,229 --> 01:18:12,320
that 5 49 p.m central time landing so

1250
01:18:16,310 --> 01:18:14,239
again as one of the photos just coming

1251
01:18:18,070 --> 01:18:16,320
in from the recovery team that's a good

1252
01:18:20,310 --> 01:18:18,080
indication that they are getting set up

1253
01:18:21,590 --> 01:18:20,320
and starting to to get a good connection

1254
01:18:22,390 --> 01:18:21,600
back to us hopefully we'll get a few

1255
01:18:24,950 --> 01:18:22,400
more

1256
01:18:27,510 --> 01:18:24,960
updates from them as we go on through

1257
01:18:29,270 --> 01:18:27,520
the recovery process

1258
01:18:31,350 --> 01:18:29,280
and just a beautiful site there to see

1259
01:18:33,189 --> 01:18:31,360
those three red white and blue

1260
01:18:35,110 --> 01:18:33,199
parachutes fully open

1261
01:18:37,350 --> 01:18:35,120
that gives you a patriotic feeling to

1262
01:18:42,310 --> 01:18:37,360
see that there and and to think about

1263
01:18:43,590 --> 01:18:42,320
really um the fact that we now have a

1264
01:18:45,110 --> 01:18:43,600
successful

1265
01:18:46,070 --> 01:18:45,120
mission and

1266
01:18:48,070 --> 01:18:46,080
um

1267
01:18:49,910 --> 01:18:48,080
just kind of you know think about what

1268
01:18:50,930 --> 01:18:49,920
this means for our country

1269
01:18:55,510 --> 01:18:50,940
absolutely

1270
01:19:00,149 --> 01:18:57,189
may be able to hear some clapping here

1271
01:19:01,910 --> 01:19:00,159
in the room in mission control

1272
01:19:03,990 --> 01:19:01,920
this team definitely feeling good about

1273
01:19:06,630 --> 01:19:04,000
their uh

1274
01:19:08,310 --> 01:19:06,640
six day long mission that they've been

1275
01:19:09,669 --> 01:19:08,320
supporting getting starliner up to the

1276
01:19:11,590 --> 01:19:09,679
international space station and then

1277
01:19:12,709 --> 01:19:11,600
safely back for this landing in new

1278
01:19:15,669 --> 01:19:12,719
mexico

1279
01:19:19,189 --> 01:19:15,679
seeing here a video a shot from a drone

1280
01:19:21,189 --> 01:19:19,199
on site with the recovery team

1281
01:19:23,350 --> 01:19:21,199
much much clearer than our other view

1282
01:19:24,790 --> 01:19:23,360
very nice yeah we're getting now some

1283
01:19:27,510 --> 01:19:24,800
close-up views

1284
01:19:29,350 --> 01:19:27,520
of starliner there on the ground

1285
01:19:31,430 --> 01:19:29,360
and back with the recovery team now

1286
01:19:34,149 --> 01:19:31,440
again they are getting uh starting to

1287
01:19:37,510 --> 01:19:34,159
get staged we'll be taking control of

1288
01:19:39,270 --> 01:19:37,520
the vehicle now

1289
01:19:41,030 --> 01:19:39,280
just like we have a flight director here

1290
01:19:42,870 --> 01:19:41,040
in mission control there's a recovery

1291
01:20:30,870 --> 01:19:42,880
director on site there who will be

1292
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:39,270
thank

1293
01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:40,790
and as i mentioned earlier when

1294
01:20:45,910 --> 01:20:43,280
starliner returned from its first flight

1295
01:20:48,390 --> 01:20:45,920
we did a notice two black stripes up the

1296
01:20:50,470 --> 01:20:48,400
sides of the spacecraft we've seen those

1297
01:20:52,870 --> 01:20:50,480
as well on this time and that just

1298
01:20:55,590 --> 01:20:52,880
indicates that the heat was ablated as

1299
01:20:57,669 --> 01:20:55,600
intended we expected to see that it's a

1300
01:21:01,590 --> 01:20:57,679
good thing to see that it means that

1301
01:21:03,669 --> 01:21:01,600
that ablative heat shield did its job

1302
01:21:05,110 --> 01:21:03,679
blade of heat shields wear away with the

1303
01:21:06,950 --> 01:21:05,120
heat and take the heat with them rather

1304
01:21:09,030 --> 01:21:06,960
than letting it transfer to the inside

1305
01:21:12,229 --> 01:21:09,040
of the crew module where the crew needs

1306
01:21:15,669 --> 01:21:13,910
and you can start to see there some of

1307
01:21:18,790 --> 01:21:15,679
the gold team making its way out of the

1308
01:21:25,990 --> 01:21:18,800
vehicle and will soon be coming over to

1309
01:21:30,229 --> 01:21:27,990
and we are going to go live now back to

1310
01:21:42,070 --> 01:21:30,239
nasa's dan hewitt and boeing's rosa

1311
01:21:47,669 --> 01:21:44,229
hewitt uh coming to you guys live now so

1312
01:21:50,070 --> 01:21:47,679
we're just about 500 feet away

1313
01:21:51,510 --> 01:21:50,080
uh and the convoy has paused and as we

1314
01:21:52,870 --> 01:21:51,520
talked about so the gold team is in

1315
01:21:55,350 --> 01:21:52,880
there right now

1316
01:21:57,910 --> 01:21:55,360
they do a sweep up close around the

1317
01:22:00,390 --> 01:21:57,920
capsule looking for any hydrazine fumes

1318
01:22:02,790 --> 01:22:00,400
a hydrazine it's a hypergolic fuel

1319
01:22:04,870 --> 01:22:02,800
the starliner capsule uses it for its

1320
01:22:07,350 --> 01:22:04,880
reaction control thrusters which are

1321
01:22:10,149 --> 01:22:07,360
only used during that re-entry period to

1322
01:22:11,750 --> 01:22:10,159
control yaw petrol they go in make sure

1323
01:22:13,430 --> 01:22:11,760
there aren't any leaks any fumes

1324
01:22:15,510 --> 01:22:13,440
anything like that before the rest of

1325
01:22:16,870 --> 01:22:15,520
the team start to make their way that's

1326
01:22:18,229 --> 01:22:16,880
right dan as you can see probably in

1327
01:22:20,390 --> 01:22:18,239
your camera views they're dressed in

1328
01:22:22,070 --> 01:22:20,400
hazmat suits and they're going to do an

1329
01:22:23,510 --> 01:22:22,080
initial sweep they're doing that right

1330
01:22:25,430 --> 01:22:23,520
now as they're walking around the crew

1331
01:22:27,189 --> 01:22:25,440
module you can see those airbags are

1332
01:22:28,870 --> 01:22:27,199
inflated and they're going to take their

1333
01:22:30,470 --> 01:22:28,880
time to do that obviously it is we want

1334
01:22:32,550 --> 01:22:30,480
to keep the team safe and once they do

1335
01:22:35,110 --> 01:22:32,560
that they're going to give the next team

1336
01:22:36,310 --> 01:22:35,120
that go to proceed which is going to be

1337
01:22:38,070 --> 01:22:36,320
the silver team and again they're going

1338
01:22:39,990 --> 01:22:38,080
to ground and stabilize the vehicle and

1339
01:22:42,950 --> 01:22:40,000
make it safe for the crew to actually

1340
01:22:44,870 --> 01:22:42,960
touch touch the crew module as well um

1341
01:22:46,870 --> 01:22:44,880
so we're going to continue to see this

1342
01:22:49,110 --> 01:22:46,880
live as you can see the parachutes are

1343
01:22:51,189 --> 01:22:49,120
to our direction to the left here and

1344
01:22:53,189 --> 01:22:51,199
the team that will be safeing and

1345
01:22:54,790 --> 01:22:53,199
recovering those parachutes will be the

1346
01:22:56,229 --> 01:22:54,800
silver team as well so when it's their

1347
01:22:57,830 --> 01:22:56,239
turn to come in you'll see them working

1348
01:22:59,830 --> 01:22:57,840
off to the side gathering those

1349
01:23:00,629 --> 01:22:59,840
parachutes and doing their assessment as

1350
01:23:02,149 --> 01:23:00,639
well

1351
01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:02,159
yeah and they're going to be collecting

1352
01:23:05,350 --> 01:23:04,320
up that base heat shield which actually

1353
01:23:07,750 --> 01:23:05,360
landed

1354
01:23:10,790 --> 01:23:07,760
probably only about 200 feet off to our

1355
01:23:12,470 --> 01:23:10,800
right so that's super close so uh if

1356
01:23:14,870 --> 01:23:12,480
we were able to get some views of that

1357
01:23:16,950 --> 01:23:14,880
on oft one and we'll do our best to get

1358
01:23:18,550 --> 01:23:16,960
you some views of that as well so after

1359
01:23:20,470 --> 01:23:18,560
silver team is able to do that you're

1360
01:23:23,430 --> 01:23:20,480
going to start to see a lot of the

1361
01:23:24,950 --> 01:23:23,440
convoy moving in we've got a green team

1362
01:23:26,790 --> 01:23:24,960
which i don't know if we've touched on

1363
01:23:28,470 --> 01:23:26,800
yet but they're bringing a lot of

1364
01:23:31,510 --> 01:23:28,480
equipment with them they're going to put

1365
01:23:33,750 --> 01:23:31,520
up an environmental enclosure it kind of

1366
01:23:36,229 --> 01:23:33,760
looks like a bounce house it's just to

1367
01:23:37,910 --> 01:23:36,239
go around starliner helps to provide it

1368
01:23:39,350 --> 01:23:37,920
some extra cooling

1369
01:23:41,590 --> 01:23:39,360
and also just protect it from the

1370
01:23:43,830 --> 01:23:41,600
elements as we're out here as again this

1371
01:23:45,910 --> 01:23:43,840
vehicle is going to be reused any steps

1372
01:23:47,590 --> 01:23:45,920
we can take to just kind of isolate it

1373
01:23:49,750 --> 01:23:47,600
from the environment will help in that

1374
01:23:52,550 --> 01:23:49,760
refurbishment and they're also

1375
01:23:54,870 --> 01:23:52,560
going to be setting up an hvac system

1376
01:23:57,189 --> 01:23:54,880
providing some active cooling to the

1377
01:23:59,110 --> 01:23:57,199
capsule as once it's powered down it's

1378
01:24:01,510 --> 01:23:59,120
not using any of that active cooling on

1379
01:24:02,950 --> 01:24:01,520
board and i did just get word that we

1380
01:24:05,110 --> 01:24:02,960
are going to have the silver team move

1381
01:24:06,790 --> 01:24:05,120
in to cut the riser and that is that

1382
01:24:08,229 --> 01:24:06,800
connection that is still connected to

1383
01:24:10,229 --> 01:24:08,239
the parachute so you will probably see

1384
01:24:11,990 --> 01:24:10,239
that in your shot um

1385
01:24:13,590 --> 01:24:12,000
it's practically like a string and they

1386
01:24:16,149 --> 01:24:13,600
will be going in there and doing that

1387
01:24:18,390 --> 01:24:16,159
procedure um as part of their recovering

1388
01:24:20,149 --> 01:24:18,400
operations recovery operations as well

1389
01:24:22,229 --> 01:24:20,159
so we're going to continue to see the

1390
01:24:24,790 --> 01:24:22,239
different teams do their

1391
01:24:26,790 --> 01:24:24,800
different procedures and we'll report as

1392
01:24:29,030 --> 01:24:26,800
we see different

1393
01:24:31,350 --> 01:24:29,040
different steps here yeah we've got a

1394
01:24:33,270 --> 01:24:31,360
big squad also the red team they'll be

1395
01:24:35,189 --> 01:24:33,280
bringing in probably some of the most

1396
01:24:37,990 --> 01:24:35,199
visual hardware a lot of the really big

1397
01:24:40,629 --> 01:24:38,000
stuff they've got what's called a map a

1398
01:24:42,550 --> 01:24:40,639
mobile access platform it will look very

1399
01:24:44,390 --> 01:24:42,560
similar to just a big yellow platform

1400
01:24:47,350 --> 01:24:44,400
with some stairs that's what's going to

1401
01:24:49,990 --> 01:24:47,360
give them direct access to that hatch as

1402
01:24:52,229 --> 01:24:50,000
your hatch lead is also on the red team

1403
01:24:53,590 --> 01:24:52,239
they're also going to be driving up the

1404
01:24:54,870 --> 01:24:53,600
medical truck

1405
01:24:55,990 --> 01:24:54,880
obviously we don't have any crew on

1406
01:24:57,350 --> 01:24:56,000
board today

1407
01:24:59,189 --> 01:24:57,360
but we're going through all of the

1408
01:25:01,030 --> 01:24:59,199
motions of this

1409
01:25:02,550 --> 01:25:01,040
to practice just for when we are flying

1410
01:25:04,149 --> 01:25:02,560
crew and so we'll back that medical

1411
01:25:07,669 --> 01:25:04,159
truck up and that's what we're going to

1412
01:25:09,030 --> 01:25:07,679
be using uh once we have crew on board

1413
01:25:11,030 --> 01:25:09,040
that's going to be kind of their first

1414
01:25:13,669 --> 01:25:11,040
steps out of the capsule and into there

1415
01:25:15,750 --> 01:25:13,679
also um the hazmat has been complete

1416
01:25:17,430 --> 01:25:15,760
everything is nominal again this team

1417
01:25:19,030 --> 01:25:17,440
did that first initial assessment and

1418
01:25:21,189 --> 01:25:19,040
they're going to continue to monitor for

1419
01:25:23,110 --> 01:25:21,199
any potential hypergolic leaks again

1420
01:25:25,430 --> 01:25:23,120
making sure the team is safe out there

1421
01:25:27,110 --> 01:25:25,440
um from the crew module and so

1422
01:25:28,950 --> 01:25:27,120
everything's looking great out here it's

1423
01:25:30,390 --> 01:25:28,960
still very warm as you saw us before

1424
01:25:32,229 --> 01:25:30,400
we're wearing sunglasses it's really

1425
01:25:34,310 --> 01:25:32,239
bright out here and um so we're

1426
01:25:35,910 --> 01:25:34,320
protecting our eyes we're keeping safe

1427
01:25:38,070 --> 01:25:35,920
drinking lots of water

1428
01:25:52,830 --> 01:25:38,080
as we uh again welcome starliner home

1429
01:25:57,270 --> 01:25:55,030
too right i don't know if you're still

1430
01:25:58,709 --> 01:25:57,280
with us but

1431
01:26:00,870 --> 01:25:58,719
we're we're going to go ahead and toss

1432
01:26:02,629 --> 01:26:00,880
it on back as they're completing that

1433
01:26:03,990 --> 01:26:02,639
assessment uh we're going to get back

1434
01:26:05,990 --> 01:26:04,000
into our cars and be able to move in a

1435
01:26:06,709 --> 01:26:06,000
little bit closer and then we'll rejoin

1436
01:26:15,430 --> 01:26:06,719
you

1437
01:26:17,830 --> 01:26:15,440
as that drone flies over the face heat

1438
01:26:20,470 --> 01:26:17,840
shield that really dropped away not too

1439
01:26:21,669 --> 01:26:20,480
far from where starliner landed you may

1440
01:26:23,510 --> 01:26:21,679
have heard a lot of clapping in the

1441
01:26:25,110 --> 01:26:23,520
background here boeing and nasa

1442
01:26:27,430 --> 01:26:25,120
leadership have made their way into

1443
01:26:29,189 --> 01:26:27,440
mission control and there is quite the

1444
01:26:31,590 --> 01:26:29,199
celebration going on in here flight

1445
01:26:33,830 --> 01:26:31,600
director mike lammers congratulating his

1446
01:26:36,629 --> 01:26:33,840
team on a successful flight and

1447
01:26:46,229 --> 01:26:36,639
touchdown again that came at 5 49

1448
01:26:51,910 --> 01:26:48,310
and you can see our team in the hazmat

1449
01:26:53,910 --> 01:26:51,920
suits there as part of the gold team

1450
01:26:55,830 --> 01:26:53,920
again they are making their way up

1451
01:26:57,910 --> 01:26:55,840
to do the sniff test

1452
01:26:59,430 --> 01:26:57,920
a lot of times when you hear sniff test

1453
01:27:01,270 --> 01:26:59,440
you imagine they will actually be

1454
01:27:02,390 --> 01:27:01,280
sniffing with their own nose that is not

1455
01:27:03,990 --> 01:27:02,400
the case

1456
01:27:06,470 --> 01:27:04,000
there is a reason they are in hazmat

1457
01:27:22,149 --> 01:27:06,480
suits they have a device that actually

1458
01:27:26,310 --> 01:27:23,750
as dan hewitt mentioned the ground team

1459
01:27:28,390 --> 01:27:26,320
is now often moving in closer with that

1460
01:27:34,629 --> 01:27:28,400
sniff test coming through

1461
01:27:34,639 --> 01:27:38,950
you can see them performing that now

1462
01:27:43,110 --> 01:27:41,110
once they do uh move in i think the

1463
01:27:45,030 --> 01:27:43,120
silver team is up next right

1464
01:27:46,950 --> 01:27:45,040
yeah that's right it's the silver team's

1465
01:27:48,709 --> 01:27:46,960
job to ground the vehicle

1466
01:27:50,709 --> 01:27:48,719
starliner will be powered down but there

1467
01:27:53,030 --> 01:27:50,719
could be some residual

1468
01:27:54,709 --> 01:27:53,040
electricity so before anyone can touch

1469
01:28:05,510 --> 01:27:54,719
the vehicle they will ground and

1470
01:28:10,550 --> 01:28:07,270
just a great shot there as i mentioned

1471
01:28:13,030 --> 01:28:10,560
earlier during our last flight we landed

1472
01:28:14,709 --> 01:28:13,040
during the dark and

1473
01:28:15,990 --> 01:28:14,719
in the middle of the night and so this

1474
01:28:19,030 --> 01:28:16,000
is the first time that we've been able

1475
01:28:21,350 --> 01:28:19,040
to see just such clear pictures of

1476
01:28:23,669 --> 01:28:21,360
starliner's crew capsule they're in the

1477
01:28:26,310 --> 01:28:23,679
desert of white sands you can see that

1478
01:28:28,629 --> 01:28:26,320
black stripe i mentioned which is just

1479
01:28:30,470 --> 01:28:28,639
kind of a badge of honor it

1480
01:28:32,629 --> 01:28:30,480
lets us know that

1481
01:28:34,550 --> 01:28:32,639
the engineering done to protect that

1482
01:28:36,070 --> 01:28:34,560
spacecraft during the hottest part of

1483
01:28:44,070 --> 01:28:36,080
its reentry

1484
01:28:47,750 --> 01:28:46,229
another photo coming in from that uh i

1485
01:28:49,830 --> 01:28:47,760
guess the blue team which is the

1486
01:28:51,750 --> 01:28:49,840
communications team that's on site this

1487
01:28:54,149 --> 01:28:51,760
one again from bill inkles a nasa

1488
01:28:56,950 --> 01:28:54,159
photographer who was part of that uh the

1489
01:28:58,709 --> 01:28:56,960
landing convoy getting uh looks like a

1490
01:29:00,070 --> 01:28:58,719
photo just seconds before touchdown

1491
01:29:01,750 --> 01:29:00,080
there

1492
01:29:04,629 --> 01:29:01,760
and a beautiful sight just to see

1493
01:29:06,070 --> 01:29:04,639
starliner there um with the backdrop of

1494
01:29:07,590 --> 01:29:06,080
the mountains

1495
01:29:09,350 --> 01:29:07,600
i have a feeling this is a picture that

1496
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:09,360
a lot of people will have up on their

1497
01:29:17,130 --> 01:29:20,790
[Music]

1498
01:29:25,990 --> 01:29:23,750
we will stay with our team out on the

1499
01:29:27,189 --> 01:29:26,000
at the landing site until

1500
01:29:28,709 --> 01:29:27,199
the

1501
01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:28,719
hatch is opened

1502
01:29:32,149 --> 01:29:30,400
that will be done by the red team so

1503
01:29:33,030 --> 01:29:32,159
that's the team we'll pay most attention

1504
01:29:35,510 --> 01:29:33,040
to

1505
01:29:39,189 --> 01:29:35,520
and they're mostly made up of fire

1506
01:29:41,110 --> 01:29:39,199
rescue boeing's fire rescue

1507
01:29:43,030 --> 01:29:41,120
the mobile access platform will get

1508
01:29:45,669 --> 01:29:43,040
backed up to the hatch on the crew

1509
01:29:48,629 --> 01:29:45,679
module and that's able to give the team

1510
01:29:52,870 --> 01:29:50,629
if we did have astronauts on board today

1511
01:29:54,790 --> 01:29:52,880
this is the part when they would start

1512
01:29:56,470 --> 01:29:54,800
to exit and be taken directly into the

1513
01:30:02,229 --> 01:29:56,480
medical truck for

1514
01:30:06,390 --> 01:30:03,830
i think butch wilmore is there with the

1515
01:30:08,390 --> 01:30:06,400
team he's uh one of the first up

1516
01:30:11,189 --> 01:30:08,400
to to fly on board starliner getting a

1517
01:30:15,189 --> 01:30:11,199
good look at what he could expect from a

1518
01:30:18,870 --> 01:30:17,270
butch telling us that he was very

1519
01:30:20,629 --> 01:30:18,880
jealous of rosie

1520
01:30:22,709 --> 01:30:20,639
getting to ride in the commander's seat

1521
01:30:24,950 --> 01:30:22,719
today and

1522
01:30:26,550 --> 01:30:24,960
i'm sure he will have some more words

1523
01:30:27,669 --> 01:30:26,560
for her once he

1524
01:30:35,110 --> 01:30:27,679
gets to

1525
01:30:45,030 --> 01:30:36,470
definitely seeing some of those teams

1526
01:30:48,149 --> 01:30:46,310
you may be able to tell some of the

1527
01:30:49,110 --> 01:30:48,159
flags that are on each of those trucks

1528
01:30:50,950 --> 01:30:49,120
that

1529
01:30:52,950 --> 01:30:50,960
differentiate which team we're talking

1530
01:30:53,990 --> 01:30:52,960
about as we've mentioned many times they

1531
01:30:55,990 --> 01:30:54,000
are

1532
01:30:57,110 --> 01:30:56,000
designated by color

1533
01:31:00,149 --> 01:30:57,120
and so that'll give you a good

1534
01:31:02,709 --> 01:31:00,159
indication of which team's turn it is to

1535
01:31:05,510 --> 01:31:02,719
come in and do their part to get the

1536
01:31:43,110 --> 01:31:05,520
spacecraft ready for more folks to come

1537
01:31:46,629 --> 01:31:45,110
it's only been 26 minutes now since

1538
01:31:49,270 --> 01:31:46,639
starliner touched down so you can get an

1539
01:31:51,430 --> 01:31:49,280
idea of how quickly those uh that

1540
01:31:54,070 --> 01:31:51,440
landing and recovery team can move in

1541
01:31:55,990 --> 01:31:54,080
for a land recovery

1542
01:31:57,830 --> 01:31:56,000
already through that hydrazine sniff

1543
01:31:59,510 --> 01:31:57,840
test that we've been talking about and

1544
01:32:02,310 --> 01:31:59,520
getting ready to move on to the to the

1545
01:32:05,750 --> 01:32:02,320
silver team's grounding electrical test

1546
01:32:09,750 --> 01:32:07,910
team here in the room has already handed

1547
01:32:11,270 --> 01:32:09,760
control over to the recovery director

1548
01:32:21,110 --> 01:32:11,280
who is on site now they've got

1549
01:32:25,910 --> 01:32:23,750
spacecraft landed just three tenths of a

1550
01:32:27,590 --> 01:32:25,920
mile southeast of the landing site today

1551
01:32:29,270 --> 01:32:27,600
which they consider pretty much a

1552
01:32:30,310 --> 01:32:29,280
bullseye exactly where we want to put

1553
01:32:32,390 --> 01:32:30,320
her down

1554
01:32:34,229 --> 01:32:32,400
in the desert of course being so

1555
01:32:36,310 --> 01:32:34,239
important that we're able to

1556
01:32:38,229 --> 01:32:36,320
show that our autonomous

1557
01:37:07,350 --> 01:32:38,239
spacecraft can

1558
01:37:11,270 --> 01:37:08,950
and we have confirmation now that the

1559
01:37:12,550 --> 01:37:11,280
silver team has been able to ground the

1560
01:37:14,229 --> 01:37:12,560
vehicle

1561
01:37:47,830 --> 01:37:14,239
and ground cooling has now been

1562
01:37:51,830 --> 01:37:50,149
our nasa and boeing

1563
01:37:53,990 --> 01:37:51,840
colleagues are still in a holding

1564
01:37:55,910 --> 01:37:54,000
pattern right now as they wait to

1565
01:37:58,149 --> 01:37:55,920
get the go-ahead that it is safe to move

1566
01:38:01,590 --> 01:37:58,159
closer to the spacecraft and once they

1567
01:38:03,030 --> 01:38:01,600
do that and we establish a

1568
01:38:05,109 --> 01:38:03,040
shot with them we will go back out to

1569
01:45:57,510 --> 01:38:05,119
them live to get an update on what they

1570
01:46:00,709 --> 01:45:59,350
and you may have noticed there that our

1571
01:46:02,149 --> 01:46:00,719
teams have backed away from the

1572
01:46:04,629 --> 01:46:02,159
spacecraft

1573
01:46:09,270 --> 01:46:04,639
they are doing so after detecting a very

1574
01:46:13,750 --> 01:46:11,590
we're just giving it time to burn off

1575
01:46:15,830 --> 01:46:13,760
and then our teams will move back in

1576
01:46:19,830 --> 01:46:15,840
when it's safe and begin those

1577
01:46:25,270 --> 01:46:22,950
again starliner landed at 5 49 central 4

1578
01:46:27,669 --> 01:46:25,280
49 mountain time today

1579
01:46:33,189 --> 01:46:27,679
just about 41 minutes ago in the deserts

1580
01:46:38,870 --> 01:46:35,030
we have several teams that will be

1581
01:46:43,430 --> 01:46:38,880
moving in shortly to go through

1582
01:46:48,229 --> 01:46:46,310
starting with the gold team

1583
01:46:50,390 --> 01:46:48,239
that's the team that we did see just a

1584
01:46:53,189 --> 01:46:50,400
short time ago doing that sniff test for

1585
01:46:54,950 --> 01:46:53,199
the hydrazine

1586
01:46:56,709 --> 01:46:54,960
they do this with a

1587
01:46:58,390 --> 01:46:56,719
device

1588
01:47:00,310 --> 01:46:58,400
while wearing protective gear known as

1589
01:47:02,709 --> 01:47:00,320
hazmat suits just to prevent any

1590
01:47:04,470 --> 01:47:02,719
exposure to that hypergolic

1591
01:47:06,790 --> 01:47:04,480
propellants

1592
01:47:09,189 --> 01:47:06,800
hydrazine is used as a propellant and if

1593
01:47:11,910 --> 01:47:09,199
it turns into vapor it can be very toxic

1594
01:47:13,109 --> 01:47:11,920
so we use special sensors to sniff for

1595
01:47:14,629 --> 01:47:13,119
it

1596
01:47:17,430 --> 01:47:14,639
and then they will notify the rest of

1597
01:47:19,189 --> 01:47:17,440
the team when it's safe to move in

1598
01:47:21,030 --> 01:47:19,199
they also check to see

1599
01:47:22,390 --> 01:47:21,040
which direction the winds are blowing so

1600
01:47:25,109 --> 01:47:22,400
that they can make sure and set that

1601
01:47:40,310 --> 01:47:25,119
entire landing team up

1602
01:47:44,229 --> 01:47:42,470
our team is a safe distance away from

1603
01:47:46,470 --> 01:47:44,239
the spacecraft right now

1604
01:47:49,750 --> 01:47:46,480
and everyone that is near the spacecraft

1605
01:47:51,990 --> 01:47:49,760
is wearing hazmat suits

1606
01:47:55,270 --> 01:47:52,000
of course was the gold team that we did

1607
01:47:57,510 --> 01:47:55,280
see wearing those hazmat suits

1608
01:47:59,109 --> 01:47:57,520
we have a live look from the drone again

1609
01:48:00,470 --> 01:47:59,119
up in the right hand corner of your

1610
01:48:05,669 --> 01:48:00,480
screen

1611
01:48:09,910 --> 01:48:07,189
and you may see an ambulance down there

1612
01:48:11,910 --> 01:48:09,920
on the bottom of your screen that is

1613
01:48:13,750 --> 01:48:11,920
a normal part of the convoy

1614
01:48:15,990 --> 01:48:13,760
when we do have astronauts on board they

1615
01:48:18,629 --> 01:48:16,000
will be getting medical checkups as soon

1616
01:48:21,030 --> 01:48:18,639
as they land

1617
01:48:22,070 --> 01:48:21,040
and a lot of practice is going into this

1618
01:48:23,750 --> 01:48:22,080
time even though we don't have

1619
01:48:25,830 --> 01:48:23,760
astronauts on board there are a lot of

1620
01:48:28,550 --> 01:48:25,840
things that our team is running through

1621
01:48:30,310 --> 01:48:28,560
as if we do so that they get some extra

1622
01:48:51,830 --> 01:48:30,320
practice in before that crude flight

1623
01:48:56,550 --> 01:48:54,550
after the sniff test is performed the

1624
01:49:00,629 --> 01:48:56,560
silver team will move in to ground the

1625
01:49:05,510 --> 01:49:02,550
we did already have confirmation that

1626
01:49:07,510 --> 01:49:05,520
the vehicle was grounded

1627
01:49:08,709 --> 01:49:07,520
of course starliner was powered down

1628
01:49:10,149 --> 01:49:08,719
already but

1629
01:49:11,910 --> 01:49:10,159
because there can be some residual

1630
01:49:22,550 --> 01:49:11,920
electricity it is important for that

1631
01:49:25,669 --> 01:49:24,149
you can see a look back in here at

1632
01:49:28,310 --> 01:49:25,679
mission control

1633
01:49:30,390 --> 01:49:28,320
where a lot of the nasa and boeing team

1634
01:49:31,990 --> 01:49:30,400
members and leadership have

1635
01:49:33,510 --> 01:49:32,000
moved their way in to congratulate the

1636
01:49:36,229 --> 01:49:33,520
flight controllers

1637
01:49:41,270 --> 01:49:38,790
flight director matt lambers

1638
01:49:43,510 --> 01:49:41,280
you can see there

1639
01:49:44,709 --> 01:49:43,520
right in the bottom

1640
01:49:47,430 --> 01:49:44,719
left-hand corner of the screen here

1641
01:49:50,790 --> 01:49:47,440
talking to steve stitch the commercial

1642
01:49:55,430 --> 01:49:53,109
lammers has officially handed over

1643
01:49:57,990 --> 01:49:55,440
control of the vehicle so his uh his

1644
01:49:59,750 --> 01:49:58,000
part today is done he's now

1645
01:50:00,870 --> 01:49:59,760
enjoying handshakes around the room the

1646
01:50:03,430 --> 01:50:00,880
team has

1647
01:50:06,229 --> 01:50:03,440
has really uh

1648
01:50:08,149 --> 01:50:06,239
been happy to see starliner safely home

1649
01:50:09,189 --> 01:50:08,159
all feeling good about the the work

1650
01:50:17,910 --> 01:50:09,199
they've done over the course of this

1651
01:50:21,589 --> 01:50:19,910
steve stitch was asked the other day how

1652
01:50:23,350 --> 01:50:21,599
he would describe the starliner

1653
01:50:24,550 --> 01:50:23,360
spacecraft and he described it as

1654
01:50:26,070 --> 01:50:24,560
patient

1655
01:50:27,510 --> 01:50:26,080
which i think we are

1656
01:50:30,070 --> 01:50:27,520
all experiencing right now we're

1657
01:50:31,830 --> 01:50:30,080
practicing our patients as we wait for

1658
01:50:33,430 --> 01:50:31,840
the crews to

1659
01:50:35,430 --> 01:50:33,440
be able to safely move back toward the

1660
01:50:37,750 --> 01:50:35,440
spacecraft and finish out some of those

1661
01:50:59,109 --> 01:50:37,760
closing procedures before we see

1662
01:51:04,070 --> 01:51:01,669
once our team is back on site and they

1663
01:51:05,990 --> 01:51:04,080
do perform that sniff test once again to

1664
01:51:08,470 --> 01:51:06,000
make sure that

1665
01:51:11,270 --> 01:51:08,480
there's been time for the gas to burn

1666
01:51:13,510 --> 01:51:11,280
off from the hydrazine

1667
01:51:15,669 --> 01:51:13,520
the green team will move in and they

1668
01:51:17,830 --> 01:51:15,679
will hook up the hvac trailers to the

1669
01:51:21,030 --> 01:51:17,840
crew module to get that ground cooling

1670
01:51:24,070 --> 01:51:22,390
but their first job is to put an

1671
01:51:26,229 --> 01:51:24,080
environmental enclosure on the crew

1672
01:51:27,669 --> 01:51:26,239
module you may have heard our teams

1673
01:51:29,830 --> 01:51:27,679
talking about that earlier that it kind

1674
01:51:31,030 --> 01:51:29,840
of looks like a big inflatable or a big

1675
01:51:32,709 --> 01:51:31,040
bounce house

1676
01:51:34,629 --> 01:51:32,719
that goes up around the crew module

1677
01:51:36,550 --> 01:51:34,639
there

1678
01:51:38,390 --> 01:51:36,560
they will wrap it around and get cool

1679
01:51:40,070 --> 01:51:38,400
air into

1680
01:51:41,990 --> 01:51:40,080
the module to make sure that the vehicle

1681
01:51:49,510 --> 01:51:42,000
and its critical systems don't overheat

1682
01:51:53,270 --> 01:51:51,589
once again we have a live view from our

1683
01:51:54,950 --> 01:51:53,280
drone

1684
01:51:55,990 --> 01:51:54,960
looking over the landing site you can

1685
01:52:01,189 --> 01:51:56,000
see

1686
01:52:03,109 --> 01:52:01,199
parachutes that were cut away

1687
01:52:05,350 --> 01:52:03,119
as soon as we landed

1688
01:52:07,910 --> 01:52:05,360
after a few seconds

1689
01:52:11,270 --> 01:52:07,920
and there in the middle of that screen

1690
01:52:14,390 --> 01:52:11,280
you can see the base heat shield that

1691
01:52:16,149 --> 01:52:14,400
was jettisoned and

1692
01:52:18,390 --> 01:52:16,159
fell to

1693
01:53:48,870 --> 01:52:18,400
the desert ground just

1694
01:53:54,310 --> 01:53:51,669
this being a flight test our teams have

1695
01:53:57,990 --> 01:53:54,320
really learned a tremendous amount of

1696
01:53:59,750 --> 01:53:58,000
vital information about starliner

1697
01:54:01,350 --> 01:53:59,760
as we

1698
01:54:03,510 --> 01:54:01,360
had our first rendezvous with the

1699
01:54:05,189 --> 01:54:03,520
international space station

1700
01:54:06,950 --> 01:54:05,199
and then docked with the international

1701
01:54:09,270 --> 01:54:06,960
space station

1702
01:54:12,550 --> 01:54:09,280
spent a few days up there with

1703
01:54:14,310 --> 01:54:12,560
the astronauts who are able to move in

1704
01:54:16,070 --> 01:54:14,320
and

1705
01:54:18,310 --> 01:54:16,080
take some of the cargo out

1706
01:54:21,990 --> 01:54:18,320
and

1707
01:54:23,350 --> 01:54:22,000
repack some of that cargo for us

1708
01:54:25,430 --> 01:54:23,360
before

1709
01:54:26,390 --> 01:54:25,440
starliner undocked a little bit earlier

1710
01:54:28,470 --> 01:54:26,400
today

1711
01:54:38,310 --> 01:54:28,480
and made its way back home

1712
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:58,390
yes

1713
01:55:01,750 --> 01:54:59,910
and you can see the gold team there

1714
01:55:03,669 --> 01:55:01,760
moving back toward the spacecraft to

1715
01:55:11,030 --> 01:55:03,679
perform another sniff test with that

1716
01:55:16,149 --> 01:55:12,070
you can see them wearing their

1717
01:56:34,470 --> 01:55:18,070
that of course to protect them from any

1718
01:56:38,629 --> 01:56:36,790
while we wait to hear the results of

1719
01:56:40,390 --> 01:56:38,639
this latest sniff test we're going to

1720
01:56:42,550 --> 01:56:40,400
toss it back to dan and rosa who are

1721
01:56:49,109 --> 01:56:42,560
there on site a safe distance away to

1722
01:56:54,950 --> 01:56:51,109
hey thanks brandi yeah we're still at

1723
01:56:56,629 --> 01:56:54,960
about the 500 foot point

1724
01:56:57,510 --> 01:56:56,639
and hopefully you guys can hear me right

1725
01:57:00,310 --> 01:56:57,520
now

1726
01:57:02,310 --> 01:57:00,320
so we're still at 500 feet away

1727
01:57:03,589 --> 01:57:02,320
as you saw everybody did back away from

1728
01:57:06,229 --> 01:57:03,599
the capsule

1729
01:57:08,070 --> 01:57:06,239
and that was by design so the gold team

1730
01:57:09,430 --> 01:57:08,080
was in they detected a fake choice of

1731
01:57:10,790 --> 01:57:09,440
hydrazine

1732
01:57:12,149 --> 01:57:10,800
so this is

1733
01:57:13,350 --> 01:57:12,159
trained for this is something they

1734
01:57:15,350 --> 01:57:13,360
prepare for

1735
01:57:17,189 --> 01:57:15,360
they gave the go for everybody not

1736
01:57:19,109 --> 01:57:17,199
wearing those kind of hazmat suits to

1737
01:57:20,870 --> 01:57:19,119
back away from the capsule

1738
01:57:23,189 --> 01:57:20,880
while they can while they continue to

1739
01:57:25,750 --> 01:57:23,199
troubleshoot and we just got word that

1740
01:57:27,350 --> 01:57:25,760
we are detecting zero um now so

1741
01:57:29,109 --> 01:57:27,360
everything looks like it's going in the

1742
01:57:30,790 --> 01:57:29,119
right direction again as you mentioned

1743
01:57:33,350 --> 01:57:30,800
this team has trained for many years

1744
01:57:34,390 --> 01:57:33,360
it's part of our our procedures um again

1745
01:57:36,709 --> 01:57:34,400
they're still going to continue to

1746
01:57:38,310 --> 01:57:36,719
monitor those levels but all is looking

1747
01:57:40,149 --> 01:57:38,320
nominal now that we've gotten that read

1748
01:57:41,750 --> 01:57:40,159
for zero and you know something great

1749
01:57:43,350 --> 01:57:41,760
about this team is that they are made

1750
01:57:45,189 --> 01:57:43,360
this team is made up of many disciplines

1751
01:57:47,830 --> 01:57:45,199
we have um most of our teammates are

1752
01:57:49,189 --> 01:57:47,840
from all over the country so again uh

1753
01:57:50,550 --> 01:57:49,199
experts in what they do they've been

1754
01:57:53,030 --> 01:57:50,560
training for a number of years they've

1755
01:57:54,950 --> 01:57:53,040
been here again for a few days um doing

1756
01:57:57,270 --> 01:57:54,960
a few mission just rehearsals and so we

1757
01:57:58,870 --> 01:57:57,280
are you know ready to you know deal with

1758
01:58:00,149 --> 01:57:58,880
these things that come up and we again

1759
01:58:02,149 --> 01:58:00,159
will continue to go through our normal

1760
01:58:03,910 --> 01:58:02,159
procedures yeah and i just i just got

1761
01:58:05,750 --> 01:58:03,920
the the word where it's zero parts per

1762
01:58:07,750 --> 01:58:05,760
million so you're not getting even the

1763
01:58:09,510 --> 01:58:07,760
faintest of traces of hydrazine at this

1764
01:58:11,910 --> 01:58:09,520
point so we'd already gone through a

1765
01:58:14,870 --> 01:58:11,920
couple of the steps after they went in

1766
01:58:16,310 --> 01:58:14,880
and hadn't detected any initially uh the

1767
01:58:18,870 --> 01:58:16,320
one of the steps that the gold team

1768
01:58:21,030 --> 01:58:18,880
actually takes is to install some covers

1769
01:58:22,870 --> 01:58:21,040
on those thrusters that use that

1770
01:58:24,550 --> 01:58:22,880
hydrogen propellant

1771
01:58:26,870 --> 01:58:24,560
so after that was detected they were

1772
01:58:28,950 --> 01:58:26,880
able to go through uh double check those

1773
01:58:31,109 --> 01:58:28,960
and now we're back down to

1774
01:58:32,950 --> 01:58:31,119
essentially zero so

1775
01:58:35,750 --> 01:58:32,960
you guys have also been reporting so we

1776
01:58:37,030 --> 01:58:35,760
did successfully complete the grounding

1777
01:58:39,030 --> 01:58:37,040
of the capsule

1778
01:58:40,790 --> 01:58:39,040
and the green team was able to establish

1779
01:58:43,589 --> 01:58:40,800
that ground cooling

1780
01:58:44,310 --> 01:58:43,599
so again had we had crew inside

1781
01:58:49,669 --> 01:58:44,320
the

1782
01:58:51,030 --> 01:58:49,679
hydrazine leaks outside and at this

1783
01:58:52,390 --> 01:58:51,040
point we've already established that

1784
01:58:54,709 --> 01:58:52,400
ground cooling

1785
01:58:56,709 --> 01:58:54,719
so should any of crew been inside they

1786
01:58:58,149 --> 01:58:56,719
would not have been in any danger from

1787
01:59:00,470 --> 01:58:58,159
that hydrazine

1788
01:59:01,830 --> 01:59:00,480
and they would be adequately cooled with

1789
01:59:04,149 --> 01:59:01,840
that ground support hardware that's

1790
01:59:06,229 --> 01:59:04,159
already in place and that hatch is

1791
01:59:09,030 --> 01:59:06,239
stabilized and grounded um again the

1792
01:59:10,550 --> 01:59:09,040
silver team uh it leads that what that's

1793
01:59:12,229 --> 01:59:10,560
one of the initial steps to grounding

1794
01:59:14,070 --> 01:59:12,239
stabilize the vehicle making it safe for

1795
01:59:16,550 --> 01:59:14,080
the team to be able to approach it and

1796
01:59:18,950 --> 01:59:16,560
touch the vehicle so again we still see

1797
01:59:20,149 --> 01:59:18,960
some of the procedures going on in front

1798
01:59:22,229 --> 01:59:20,159
of us right now and we're going to

1799
01:59:24,390 --> 01:59:22,239
continue to give you those updates as we

1800
01:59:26,870 --> 01:59:24,400
receive them here on uh the landing site

1801
01:59:29,030 --> 01:59:26,880
at white sands new mexico yeah and so

1802
01:59:31,030 --> 01:59:29,040
now that we're we're at that

1803
01:59:32,550 --> 01:59:31,040
point where we'll start to

1804
01:59:34,870 --> 01:59:32,560
uh we'll start to move in and i'm

1805
01:59:36,070 --> 01:59:34,880
getting the the signal now that it looks

1806
01:59:37,910 --> 01:59:36,080
like we're about to start rolling so

1807
01:59:39,990 --> 01:59:37,920
we're going to toss it back to the team

1808
01:59:41,589 --> 01:59:40,000
in houston and hopefully the next time

1809
01:59:43,350 --> 01:59:41,599
you hear from us we'll just be about 100

1810
01:59:45,109 --> 01:59:43,360
feet away from the capsule over to you

1811
01:59:46,709 --> 01:59:45,119
guys

1812
01:59:48,470 --> 01:59:46,719
all right that is great news and we are

1813
01:59:50,229 --> 01:59:48,480
looking forward to checking back in with

1814
01:59:52,149 --> 01:59:50,239
you when you get up close

1815
01:59:54,870 --> 01:59:52,159
and we just have a beautiful sight from

1816
01:59:57,910 --> 01:59:54,880
the drone here really up close look at

1817
02:00:01,030 --> 01:59:57,920
those hazmat crews um doing their job

1818
02:00:02,870 --> 02:00:01,040
they are member again of the gold team

1819
02:00:04,709 --> 02:00:02,880
and this is something they practice

1820
02:00:05,589 --> 02:00:04,719
extensively for

1821
02:00:07,109 --> 02:00:05,599
and

1822
02:00:09,270 --> 02:00:07,119
really everything just worked out

1823
02:00:10,310 --> 02:00:09,280
perfectly the way it's supposed to

1824
02:00:12,470 --> 02:00:10,320
they

1825
02:00:15,189 --> 02:00:12,480
made their way up there and

1826
02:00:17,910 --> 02:00:15,199
we're now told that they have a zero

1827
02:00:19,589 --> 02:00:17,920
reading so they will be giving the go

1828
02:00:21,990 --> 02:00:19,599
ahead for the rest of the teams to start

1829
02:00:23,589 --> 02:00:22,000
making their way back over

1830
02:00:25,350 --> 02:00:23,599
there were some operations that were

1831
02:00:28,390 --> 02:00:25,360
able to be complete

1832
02:00:29,910 --> 02:00:28,400
earlier we know that the vehicle was

1833
02:00:31,510 --> 02:00:29,920
grounded

1834
02:00:33,510 --> 02:00:31,520
meaning that they were able to make sure

1835
02:00:36,550 --> 02:00:33,520
that there was no residual electricity

1836
02:00:38,070 --> 02:00:36,560
you may have noticed the hazmat team was

1837
02:00:39,430 --> 02:00:38,080
touching the vehicle

1838
02:00:42,070 --> 02:00:39,440
that is something they were able to

1839
02:00:43,910 --> 02:00:42,080
safely do because that grounding did

1840
02:00:46,470 --> 02:00:43,920
occur earlier

1841
02:01:21,430 --> 02:00:48,310
we will have the green team moving back

1842
02:01:25,830 --> 02:01:23,030
the next thing that we'll be seeing here

1843
02:01:27,510 --> 02:01:25,840
shortly is the green team coming in to

1844
02:01:29,270 --> 02:01:27,520
set up the

1845
02:01:31,589 --> 02:01:29,280
environmental enclosure that will go

1846
02:01:35,030 --> 02:01:31,599
over the crew module

1847
02:01:37,270 --> 02:01:35,040
looks like a big inflatable it will just

1848
02:01:39,350 --> 02:01:37,280
set down nicely right over the top of

1849
02:01:41,669 --> 02:01:39,360
the vehicle

1850
02:01:44,470 --> 02:01:41,679
and that will be to help them get cool

1851
02:01:46,149 --> 02:01:44,480
air around it and inside of it and

1852
02:01:48,709 --> 02:01:46,159
make sure that the vehicle's critical

1853
02:01:51,510 --> 02:01:48,719
systems do not overheat of course

1854
02:01:54,310 --> 02:01:51,520
very hot out there in the desert

1855
02:01:56,790 --> 02:01:54,320
an interesting swing from what our crews

1856
02:01:57,830 --> 02:01:56,800
experienced during the last flight when

1857
02:02:01,189 --> 02:01:57,840
they

1858
02:02:03,270 --> 02:02:01,199
landed at night time in the darkness and

1859
02:02:05,510 --> 02:02:03,280
also in the winter time it was quite

1860
02:02:50,550 --> 02:02:05,520
cold i believe it was only about 16

1861
02:02:56,229 --> 02:02:52,870
when starliner landed around 5 49

1862
02:03:00,950 --> 02:02:56,239
central 449 mountain time today it did

1863
02:03:06,550 --> 02:03:00,960
land under three good main parachutes

1864
02:03:09,589 --> 02:03:07,830
and these capabilities are just

1865
02:03:12,070 --> 02:03:09,599
something that help us turn the vehicle

1866
02:03:15,350 --> 02:03:12,080
around in a much quicker time frame of

1867
02:03:17,910 --> 02:03:15,360
course this is a reusable crew module

1868
02:03:20,070 --> 02:03:17,920
can be used up to 10 times

1869
02:03:30,629 --> 02:03:20,080
with at least a six-month turnaround

1870
02:03:36,709 --> 02:03:32,950
you can see the nds cover at the top of

1871
02:03:38,229 --> 02:03:36,719
the crew module that is the nasa docking

1872
02:03:40,310 --> 02:03:38,239
system cover

1873
02:03:42,950 --> 02:03:40,320
and that has been added to our vehicle

1874
02:03:45,830 --> 02:03:42,960
since the last flight to

1875
02:03:48,790 --> 02:03:45,840
further protect the nasa docking system

1876
02:03:50,950 --> 02:03:48,800
during those hot loads as

1877
02:03:52,870 --> 02:03:50,960
starlander makes its way back down to

1878
02:04:18,629 --> 02:03:52,880
earth through

1879
02:04:22,149 --> 02:04:20,950
we do also see exactly what we expected

1880
02:04:25,189 --> 02:04:22,159
to see

1881
02:04:26,310 --> 02:04:25,199
with the crew module

1882
02:04:28,870 --> 02:04:26,320
returning

1883
02:04:31,109 --> 02:04:28,880
through that hot entry interface

1884
02:04:32,550 --> 02:04:31,119
you can see that black marking there on

1885
02:04:34,950 --> 02:04:32,560
the left side of it there's another one

1886
02:04:37,270 --> 02:04:34,960
on the exact opposite side

1887
02:04:38,790 --> 02:04:37,280
and it's the same thing we saw after our

1888
02:04:42,069 --> 02:04:38,800
last flight

1889
02:04:43,990 --> 02:04:42,079
these are just proof that the ablative

1890
02:04:47,109 --> 02:04:44,000
material that is wrapping around

1891
02:04:49,030 --> 02:04:47,119
starliner is doing its job when it

1892
02:04:51,270 --> 02:04:49,040
is able to

1893
02:04:54,229 --> 02:04:51,280
protect the crew module as it comes back

1894
02:04:54,239 --> 02:05:21,830
the hottest part of its ride home

1895
02:05:25,589 --> 02:05:23,830
continuing to see live views from the

1896
02:05:27,350 --> 02:05:25,599
new mexico desert an hour after

1897
02:05:29,910 --> 02:05:27,360
starliner's 5

1898
02:05:32,310 --> 02:05:29,920
49 p.m central touchdown

1899
02:05:35,189 --> 02:05:32,320
starliner came in for a landing across

1900
02:05:36,709 --> 02:05:35,199
baja peninsula and

1901
02:05:39,589 --> 02:05:36,719
the

1902
02:05:41,750 --> 02:05:39,599
northwestern corner of mexico before

1903
02:05:43,510 --> 02:05:41,760
making it to new mexico and teams there

1904
02:05:48,870 --> 02:05:43,520
on the ground reported they did hear the

1905
02:05:53,270 --> 02:05:50,790
making their way steadily now

1906
02:05:55,270 --> 02:05:53,280
through uh these uh recovery steps looks

1907
02:05:56,870 --> 02:05:55,280
like the green team might be getting

1908
02:05:59,109 --> 02:05:56,880
close to wrapping up they'll be followed

1909
02:06:00,950 --> 02:05:59,119
by the red team which will uh

1910
02:06:26,470 --> 02:06:00,960
we'll see open the the hatch on

1911
02:06:30,069 --> 02:06:28,069
you can see the gold team now moving

1912
02:06:32,950 --> 02:06:30,079
away from the spacecraft of course when

1913
02:06:35,270 --> 02:06:32,960
we spoke with rose and dan just a short

1914
02:06:37,669 --> 02:06:35,280
time ago they did report that there was

1915
02:06:42,830 --> 02:06:40,149
zero hydrazine

1916
02:06:46,390 --> 02:06:42,840
on the meters so a good sniff

1917
02:06:48,390 --> 02:06:46,400
test and we do expect to see

1918
02:07:07,270 --> 02:06:48,400
them alert the other teams to start

1919
02:07:11,189 --> 02:07:09,589
and all the teams uh looks like now

1920
02:07:12,709 --> 02:07:11,199
getting that go ahead to start moving in

1921
02:07:15,910 --> 02:07:12,719
again no hazmat

1922
02:07:17,270 --> 02:07:15,920
suits necessary at this point

1923
02:07:36,709 --> 02:07:17,280
and they can keep working through those

1924
02:07:40,709 --> 02:07:38,550
so this is the silver team that has

1925
02:07:44,149 --> 02:07:40,719
moved in now

1926
02:07:45,750 --> 02:07:44,159
safely after that sniff test was done

1927
02:07:47,910 --> 02:07:45,760
they were able to ground the vehicle

1928
02:07:51,750 --> 02:07:47,920
which is part of their job they did that

1929
02:07:54,790 --> 02:07:52,950
and that's just to make sure that

1930
02:07:57,750 --> 02:07:54,800
there's no residual electricity of

1931
02:11:31,350 --> 02:07:57,760
course darling was already powered down

1932
02:11:34,950 --> 02:11:33,350
and we're starting to see the green team

1933
02:11:45,430 --> 02:11:34,960
work to

1934
02:11:49,350 --> 02:11:47,030
and on the right side of your screen the

1935
02:11:50,790 --> 02:11:49,360
red team is moving in and that's the

1936
02:11:52,550 --> 02:11:50,800
team that we really want to pay most

1937
02:11:54,950 --> 02:11:52,560
attention to because they will be

1938
02:11:57,430 --> 02:11:54,960
opening the hatch a team is made up

1939
02:11:59,350 --> 02:11:57,440
mostly of boeing fire rescue

1940
02:12:02,069 --> 02:11:59,360
and as you can see there they're moving

1941
02:12:04,629 --> 02:12:02,079
that mobile access platform in right up

1942
02:12:06,790 --> 02:12:04,639
to the hatch on the crew module

1943
02:12:08,069 --> 02:12:06,800
just so they can have the closest access

1944
02:12:11,030 --> 02:12:08,079
to

1945
02:12:15,350 --> 02:12:13,189
and of course this is the team

1946
02:12:17,910 --> 02:12:15,360
had we had

1947
02:12:20,229 --> 02:12:17,920
astronauts on board that would be

1948
02:12:21,669 --> 02:12:20,239
getting them out and moving them over to

1949
02:13:02,310 --> 02:12:21,679
the medical truck where they would get

1950
02:13:05,910 --> 02:13:04,149
we're ready now to take you back to the

1951
02:13:08,790 --> 02:13:05,920
landing site to hear more from dan

1952
02:13:10,870 --> 02:13:08,800
hewitt and rosa buenos

1953
02:13:19,510 --> 02:13:10,880
to give you uh the latest information on

1954
02:13:22,870 --> 02:13:21,270
thanks brandi again it's great to be

1955
02:13:25,189 --> 02:13:22,880
with you again from our landing site

1956
02:13:27,669 --> 02:13:25,199
here at white sands new mexico it's been

1957
02:13:28,790 --> 02:13:27,679
quite the eventful day we continue to go

1958
02:13:32,149 --> 02:13:28,800
through the landing and recovery

1959
02:13:34,470 --> 02:13:32,159
operations as a team has been now where

1960
02:13:36,310 --> 02:13:34,480
we see the mobile box platform behind us

1961
02:13:38,790 --> 02:13:36,320
um the medevac has been backed up to the

1962
02:13:39,910 --> 02:13:38,800
crew module and we will keep uh moving

1963
02:13:42,310 --> 02:13:39,920
forward with the different procedures

1964
02:13:44,390 --> 02:13:42,320
here for the recovery effort yeah we had

1965
02:13:46,149 --> 02:13:44,400
a little bit longer wait at the 500 foot

1966
02:13:47,270 --> 02:13:46,159
part so everybody's been following along

1967
02:13:50,310 --> 02:13:47,280
and again

1968
02:13:53,030 --> 02:13:50,320
um that they were able to continue to to

1969
02:13:54,950 --> 02:13:53,040
sweep around no hydrogen's been detected

1970
02:13:57,350 --> 02:13:54,960
that's why you uh obviously see

1971
02:13:59,510 --> 02:13:57,360
everybody has moved in now to continue

1972
02:14:01,750 --> 02:13:59,520
through our operations we should be

1973
02:14:03,830 --> 02:14:01,760
getting you some close-up views i hope

1974
02:14:06,229 --> 02:14:03,840
uh of the capsule and the recovery as

1975
02:14:08,229 --> 02:14:06,239
it's unfolding um you could see so as

1976
02:14:10,149 --> 02:14:08,239
rosa said the mobile access platforms

1977
02:14:12,069 --> 02:14:10,159
getting into place now this kind of the

1978
02:14:12,870 --> 02:14:12,079
yellow stairs

1979
02:14:15,030 --> 02:14:12,880
and

1980
02:14:16,950 --> 02:14:15,040
we are going to be able to use that to

1981
02:14:19,669 --> 02:14:16,960
get access to the hatch

1982
02:14:21,830 --> 02:14:19,679
and all of the other items

1983
02:14:22,870 --> 02:14:21,840
all the hatch operations

1984
02:14:24,229 --> 02:14:22,880
and then

1985
02:14:26,149 --> 02:14:24,239
you may not be able to see it in every

1986
02:14:27,990 --> 02:14:26,159
single view but there's a large truck

1987
02:14:30,390 --> 02:14:28,000
just to the right of the capsule from

1988
02:14:32,550 --> 02:14:30,400
our viewpoint uh with a big star liner

1989
02:14:35,270 --> 02:14:32,560
on the side that's the medical truck so

1990
02:14:36,790 --> 02:14:35,280
it doesn't have a purpose today with no

1991
02:14:38,629 --> 02:14:36,800
crew on board but we're still going

1992
02:14:40,950 --> 02:14:38,639
through all of the operations as we

1993
02:14:42,790 --> 02:14:40,960
would if a crew were flying on starliner

1994
02:14:44,550 --> 02:14:42,800
and that's going to get backed up

1995
02:14:47,109 --> 02:14:44,560
and that'll be really kind of the first

1996
02:14:49,350 --> 02:14:47,119
place on planet earth that the crew goes

1997
02:14:51,270 --> 02:14:49,360
after they return in a trip on starliner

1998
02:14:53,350 --> 02:14:51,280
so we'll see that back up and then we'll

1999
02:14:54,790 --> 02:14:53,360
get into some of the hatch ups and off

2000
02:14:56,390 --> 02:14:54,800
to your left now i'm not sure if you can

2001
02:14:58,069 --> 02:14:56,400
see this in the camera we do see those

2002
02:15:01,669 --> 02:14:58,079
again beautiful red white and blue

2003
02:15:03,990 --> 02:15:01,679
parachutes again the silver team will be

2004
02:15:06,069 --> 02:15:04,000
safe in those it will be taking care of

2005
02:15:08,310 --> 02:15:06,079
collecting any of the other jettison

2006
02:15:11,270 --> 02:15:08,320
parts into our right also not in your

2007
02:15:13,750 --> 02:15:11,280
camera view is our decontamination tent

2008
02:15:16,069 --> 02:15:13,760
um it sets it up again for

2009
02:15:18,390 --> 02:15:16,079
any potential exposures to the hazards

2010
02:15:19,990 --> 02:15:18,400
it has not been used but it is here um

2011
02:15:22,550 --> 02:15:20,000
ready to uh

2012
02:15:24,870 --> 02:15:22,560
be used in case of anything um so again

2013
02:15:27,030 --> 02:15:24,880
we are uh still moving forward with that

2014
02:15:30,709 --> 02:15:27,040
uh putting up that mobile access

2015
02:15:32,550 --> 02:15:30,719
platform um and the team is still now uh

2016
02:15:34,550 --> 02:15:32,560
it looks like they're adding some of the

2017
02:15:39,350 --> 02:15:34,560
uh connecting some of the tubing for the

2018
02:15:42,629 --> 02:15:40,870
and then we're taking a look so yeah you

2019
02:15:45,350 --> 02:15:42,639
can see it it almost looks like a moon

2020
02:15:48,069 --> 02:15:45,360
rover but that's just part of that again

2021
02:15:49,589 --> 02:15:48,079
that hvac system that they're using to

2022
02:15:51,669 --> 02:15:49,599
provide some purge some positive

2023
02:15:53,589 --> 02:15:51,679
pressure inside of the capsule

2024
02:15:55,189 --> 02:15:53,599
but we also have again like an hvac

2025
02:15:57,510 --> 02:15:55,199
cooling system already hooked up to

2026
02:15:59,270 --> 02:15:57,520
provide cooling inside the capsule

2027
02:16:00,790 --> 02:15:59,280
and you're going to be able to see a lot

2028
02:16:02,470 --> 02:16:00,800
of the red team

2029
02:16:04,149 --> 02:16:02,480
through all this action

2030
02:16:06,950 --> 02:16:04,159
and we've already got somebody up on the

2031
02:16:08,550 --> 02:16:06,960
map uh getting some of that gypsum sand

2032
02:16:10,149 --> 02:16:08,560
that

2033
02:16:12,310 --> 02:16:10,159
is everywhere

2034
02:16:14,310 --> 02:16:12,320
um getting that off and

2035
02:16:15,510 --> 02:16:14,320
everybody's color coded by our vests the

2036
02:16:18,310 --> 02:16:15,520
red team

2037
02:16:19,189 --> 02:16:18,320
again that's a mix of boeing medical

2038
02:16:21,030 --> 02:16:19,199
fire

2039
02:16:23,189 --> 02:16:21,040
a lot of different professionals one of

2040
02:16:25,430 --> 02:16:23,199
the key boeing people on the red team is

2041
02:16:26,870 --> 02:16:25,440
going to be doing the hatch operations

2042
02:16:28,870 --> 02:16:26,880
the we're going to be going in through

2043
02:16:31,030 --> 02:16:28,880
the side hatch so again boeing has two

2044
02:16:32,469 --> 02:16:31,040
hatches on starliner you've got the side

2045
02:16:34,070 --> 02:16:32,479
hatch and you've got the what's called

2046
02:16:35,270 --> 02:16:34,080
the iva it's essentially the hatch at

2047
02:16:37,110 --> 02:16:35,280
the very top

2048
02:16:38,629 --> 02:16:37,120
we use that whenever

2049
02:16:40,150 --> 02:16:38,639
a starliner is docked to the space

2050
02:16:42,309 --> 02:16:40,160
station but for all of our ground

2051
02:16:43,669 --> 02:16:42,319
operations we're using that side hatch

2052
02:16:45,910 --> 02:16:43,679
it's been closed

2053
02:16:47,270 --> 02:16:45,920
since it was on the pad out in florida

2054
02:16:49,349 --> 02:16:47,280
and it's going to get open for the first

2055
02:16:51,509 --> 02:16:49,359
time here in just a little bit

2056
02:16:53,349 --> 02:16:51,519
that's right as you mentioned that mars

2057
02:16:55,190 --> 02:16:53,359
rover looking car to the left actually

2058
02:16:56,950 --> 02:16:55,200
is a humidifier and again that's

2059
02:16:59,110 --> 02:16:56,960
providing some of that positive air into

2060
02:17:00,870 --> 02:16:59,120
the crew module and keeping any of that

2061
02:17:02,870 --> 02:17:00,880
dust outside and that's part of the

2062
02:17:05,190 --> 02:17:02,880
purge system it's really critical to

2063
02:17:07,349 --> 02:17:05,200
keep the humidity levels at a stable

2064
02:17:09,349 --> 02:17:07,359
condition inside the crew module as we

2065
02:17:10,709 --> 02:17:09,359
are getting ready to open that hatch um

2066
02:17:12,389 --> 02:17:10,719
so we're seeing some great views on our

2067
02:17:13,429 --> 02:17:12,399
side here again the team continues to

2068
02:17:17,509 --> 02:17:13,439
work

2069
02:17:19,110 --> 02:17:17,519
different systems that mobile platform

2070
02:17:34,070 --> 02:17:19,120
looks like it's ready the team is up

2071
02:17:37,669 --> 02:17:35,910
looks like we have some technical

2072
02:17:38,950 --> 02:17:37,679
difficulties may have lost dan and rosa

2073
02:17:40,309 --> 02:17:38,960
for the moment but we'll hang on to see

2074
02:17:42,950 --> 02:17:40,319
if we can get them back in a little bit

2075
02:17:45,030 --> 02:17:42,960
later but as you as a rosa was saying

2076
02:17:47,110 --> 02:17:45,040
the mobile platform mobile platforms

2077
02:17:49,190 --> 02:17:47,120
moving in for the hatch opening of

2078
02:17:51,030 --> 02:17:49,200
starliner

2079
02:17:55,830 --> 02:17:51,040
so the teams can begin

2080
02:17:58,870 --> 02:17:57,349
rosie and of course our gravity

2081
02:18:00,070 --> 02:17:58,880
indicator

2082
02:18:01,429 --> 02:18:00,080
jeb or

2083
02:18:04,230 --> 02:18:01,439
jebediah

2084
02:18:06,309 --> 02:18:04,240
part of the kerbal space program

2085
02:18:08,070 --> 02:18:06,319
he was a bit of a surprise for some

2086
02:18:09,349 --> 02:18:08,080
folks once we

2087
02:18:11,509 --> 02:18:09,359
talked to the international space

2088
02:18:13,509 --> 02:18:11,519
station we started getting views of him

2089
02:18:15,270 --> 02:18:13,519
doing his job as the

2090
02:18:16,870 --> 02:18:15,280
gravity indicator and there on your

2091
02:18:19,429 --> 02:18:16,880
screen you can see the red team which is

2092
02:18:20,469 --> 02:18:19,439
made up of mostly boeing fire and rescue

2093
02:18:22,709 --> 02:18:20,479
crews

2094
02:18:27,030 --> 02:18:22,719
they are working to get the hatch open

2095
02:18:31,190 --> 02:18:28,469
all right we are going to try and get

2096
02:18:37,349 --> 02:18:31,200
back out to dan and rosa now guys do we

2097
02:18:40,709 --> 02:18:39,110
hey brandi yeah hopefully you can hear

2098
02:18:42,709 --> 02:18:40,719
me now uh

2099
02:18:45,190 --> 02:18:42,719
one of the joys of working from a really

2100
02:18:47,190 --> 02:18:45,200
remote location is you do run into some

2101
02:18:48,070 --> 02:18:47,200
occasional technical hiccups i will say

2102
02:18:49,990 --> 02:18:48,080
we've

2103
02:18:51,750 --> 02:18:50,000
got a bunch of certified wizards on the

2104
02:18:53,270 --> 02:18:51,760
blue team here today

2105
02:18:55,990 --> 02:18:53,280
who are bringing us all of these

2106
02:18:58,070 --> 02:18:56,000
different views for folks around to take

2107
02:19:00,389 --> 02:18:58,080
a look but again we're getting into our

2108
02:19:02,629 --> 02:19:00,399
hatch operations so the access panel on

2109
02:19:05,190 --> 02:19:02,639
the hatch is getting opened up there's a

2110
02:19:07,190 --> 02:19:05,200
special tool that our our lead hatch ops

2111
02:19:09,030 --> 02:19:07,200
engineer is going to be using to get

2112
02:19:10,389 --> 02:19:09,040
that open um

2113
02:19:12,709 --> 02:19:10,399
the hatch can

2114
02:19:14,870 --> 02:19:12,719
operate within a pretty small range of

2115
02:19:16,950 --> 02:19:14,880
psi differentials on either side

2116
02:19:19,190 --> 02:19:16,960
basically just meaning we need to make

2117
02:19:21,750 --> 02:19:19,200
sure that the pressure inserts inside of

2118
02:19:23,669 --> 02:19:21,760
starliner is relatively the same as the

2119
02:19:25,669 --> 02:19:23,679
pressure out here and after they get

2120
02:19:26,950 --> 02:19:25,679
that confirmed i will be able to get the

2121
02:19:28,309 --> 02:19:26,960
hatch opened

2122
02:19:29,990 --> 02:19:28,319
that's right dan and once we're done

2123
02:19:31,669 --> 02:19:30,000
with this hatch opening procedure we

2124
02:19:33,990 --> 02:19:31,679
will be going through the close out um

2125
02:19:35,750 --> 02:19:34,000
starliner will actually stay overnight

2126
02:19:38,230 --> 02:19:35,760
it will be sent to a processing center

2127
02:19:39,830 --> 02:19:38,240
and then make its way back to florida um

2128
02:19:41,349 --> 02:19:39,840
so we certainly will we will be

2129
02:19:42,469 --> 02:19:41,359
remaining here in new mexico for a few

2130
02:19:44,870 --> 02:19:42,479
more days as we go through those

2131
02:19:46,870 --> 02:19:44,880
procedures um but again we're very happy

2132
02:19:49,429 --> 02:19:46,880
that we have standard back home here in

2133
02:19:51,510 --> 02:19:49,439
new mexico and again that we've had a

2134
02:19:53,750 --> 02:19:51,520
successful test flight and preparation

2135
02:19:55,510 --> 02:19:53,760
for our next crew flight test

2136
02:19:56,870 --> 02:19:55,520
and one of the operations we're going to

2137
02:19:59,750 --> 02:19:56,880
be carrying out here is going to be

2138
02:20:02,070 --> 02:19:59,760
cargo we have some of the nasa cargo

2139
02:20:03,270 --> 02:20:02,080
teams out here with the crews and

2140
02:20:04,710 --> 02:20:03,280
they're going to be able to move in once

2141
02:20:06,710 --> 02:20:04,720
we get the hatch open

2142
02:20:08,389 --> 02:20:06,720
we've got a small amount of

2143
02:20:09,990 --> 02:20:08,399
really time critical cargo that's going

2144
02:20:11,030 --> 02:20:10,000
to come off including some radiation

2145
02:20:12,790 --> 02:20:11,040
monitors

2146
02:20:15,429 --> 02:20:12,800
and a couple of utilization items from

2147
02:20:16,790 --> 02:20:15,439
our nanoracks modules on board and then

2148
02:20:18,630 --> 02:20:16,800
they're going to bring out a couple of

2149
02:20:20,550 --> 02:20:18,640
other items just to test

2150
02:20:22,950 --> 02:20:20,560
that real-time crew car or that

2151
02:20:25,110 --> 02:20:22,960
real-time cargo retrieval when crew

2152
02:20:27,750 --> 02:20:25,120
members are returning on starliner

2153
02:20:29,429 --> 02:20:27,760
they're going to be bringing

2154
02:20:31,429 --> 02:20:29,439
essentially pieces of themselves home

2155
02:20:33,830 --> 02:20:31,439
with them the crew will take

2156
02:20:35,429 --> 02:20:33,840
a number of different

2157
02:20:37,750 --> 02:20:35,439
blood samples other things like that

2158
02:20:39,910 --> 02:20:37,760
just prior to their return and those get

2159
02:20:42,630 --> 02:20:39,920
sewed into cold bags

2160
02:20:44,870 --> 02:20:42,640
or cold powered cargo containers on

2161
02:20:46,790 --> 02:20:44,880
board the vehicle and that's one of the

2162
02:20:49,030 --> 02:20:46,800
really critical science items that we

2163
02:20:50,630 --> 02:20:49,040
return from the space station and that's

2164
02:20:53,190 --> 02:20:50,640
one of the reasons we're really excited

2165
02:20:56,469 --> 02:20:53,200
to have starliner come on board and add

2166
02:20:57,510 --> 02:20:56,479
another cargo delivery service back to

2167
02:20:59,110 --> 02:20:57,520
earth

2168
02:21:01,190 --> 02:20:59,120
is it's we definitely have a lot of

2169
02:21:04,070 --> 02:21:01,200
vehicles bringing cargo up but it's a

2170
02:21:06,150 --> 02:21:04,080
much smaller number of vehicles that's

2171
02:21:08,230 --> 02:21:06,160
able to return that cargo down

2172
02:21:10,469 --> 02:21:08,240
so some of that time-sensitive cargo

2173
02:21:12,870 --> 02:21:10,479
will get brought off board today the

2174
02:21:15,030 --> 02:21:12,880
rest will remain on onboard starliner

2175
02:21:17,590 --> 02:21:15,040
until it gets to a processing facility

2176
02:21:19,830 --> 02:21:17,600
uh including our large cargo items that

2177
02:21:21,670 --> 02:21:19,840
are coming back today uh those three

2178
02:21:24,469 --> 02:21:21,680
norris tanks as people have heard about

2179
02:21:26,469 --> 02:21:24,479
the nitrogen oxygen recharge system that

2180
02:21:29,030 --> 02:21:26,479
we use to essentially recharge the

2181
02:21:30,389 --> 02:21:29,040
atmosphere on board the space station

2182
02:21:32,309 --> 02:21:30,399
that's right dana and i'm sure a lot of

2183
02:21:34,150 --> 02:21:32,319
you are wondering if rosie will be uh

2184
02:21:35,990 --> 02:21:34,160
exiting the crew module but she will not

2185
02:21:37,510 --> 02:21:36,000
she will be staying in here as well with

2186
02:21:40,150 --> 02:21:37,520
the norse tanks

2187
02:21:41,830 --> 02:21:40,160
and make her way back to florida again

2188
02:21:44,309 --> 02:21:41,840
the the team is still working here on

2189
02:21:45,429 --> 02:21:44,319
opening that hatch as you can see them

2190
02:21:46,950 --> 02:21:45,439
going through their procedures they're

2191
02:21:48,870 --> 02:21:46,960
on top of the mobile platform and

2192
02:21:50,469 --> 02:21:48,880
there's a good look there at those

2193
02:21:52,070 --> 02:21:50,479
airbags again those fill up with

2194
02:21:53,990 --> 02:21:52,080
nitrogen and to provide that soft

2195
02:21:56,309 --> 02:21:54,000
landing for starliner and again a very

2196
02:21:58,710 --> 02:21:56,319
soft landing for our crew for the next

2197
02:22:00,790 --> 02:21:58,720
crew flight test um so again a great day

2198
02:22:02,710 --> 02:22:00,800
here for the whole starliner team um you

2199
02:22:04,150 --> 02:22:02,720
know as a native new mexican and myself

2200
02:22:05,990 --> 02:22:04,160
i could definitely say i'm proud to be

2201
02:22:07,590 --> 02:22:06,000
part of this orbital flight test too and

2202
02:22:08,950 --> 02:22:07,600
i know i share that same feeling with

2203
02:22:10,790 --> 02:22:08,960
everybody here on the ground and

2204
02:22:12,870 --> 02:22:10,800
everybody around the country and our

2205
02:22:15,270 --> 02:22:12,880
teams in houston and florida

2206
02:22:16,710 --> 02:22:15,280
yeah it was it was i think i said it

2207
02:22:20,230 --> 02:22:16,720
earlier it was pretty surreal for

2208
02:22:21,990 --> 02:22:20,240
starliner to just appear in the air

2209
02:22:23,670 --> 02:22:22,000
at first it feels like it's almost above

2210
02:22:25,990 --> 02:22:23,680
you even though several kilometers

2211
02:22:27,830 --> 02:22:26,000
downrange from us those airbags are

2212
02:22:30,230 --> 02:22:27,840
really cool there's essentially an

2213
02:22:33,750 --> 02:22:30,240
airbag inside of each airbag as it

2214
02:22:36,630 --> 02:22:33,760
inflates there's also a central airbag

2215
02:22:39,110 --> 02:22:36,640
the very center of the capsule

2216
02:22:41,190 --> 02:22:39,120
that only gets used if starliner is in a

2217
02:22:43,429 --> 02:22:41,200
water landing that can help

2218
02:22:45,349 --> 02:22:43,439
with the operating system on board the

2219
02:22:48,309 --> 02:22:45,359
capsule so obviously now you see and we

2220
02:22:50,309 --> 02:22:48,319
see the hatch is open it is

2221
02:22:52,630 --> 02:22:50,319
fantastic news again the team is now

2222
02:22:54,070 --> 02:22:52,640
going to be making their way into the

2223
02:22:55,670 --> 02:22:54,080
hatch to do some of those close-up

2224
02:22:57,590 --> 02:22:55,680
procedures we're going to have again

2225
02:23:00,550 --> 02:22:57,600
some of our team from the the red team

2226
02:23:02,469 --> 02:23:00,560
start going into the cabin and again

2227
02:23:04,230 --> 02:23:02,479
doing some initial assessments and then

2228
02:23:05,910 --> 02:23:04,240
again continue with those procedures for

2229
02:23:09,670 --> 02:23:05,920
that red team

2230
02:23:13,990 --> 02:23:09,680
all right so 606 mountain 706

2231
02:23:15,990 --> 02:23:14,000
central 806 pm eastern starliner hatch

2232
02:23:18,070 --> 02:23:16,000
is open so

2233
02:23:19,750 --> 02:23:18,080
they'll get their first look inside and

2234
02:23:22,150 --> 02:23:19,760
again we've got some cargo specialists

2235
02:23:23,990 --> 02:23:22,160
that'll be allowed to to move up close

2236
02:23:25,670 --> 02:23:24,000
uh pretty soon

2237
02:23:27,590 --> 02:23:25,680
and they'll be able to start to offload

2238
02:23:41,830 --> 02:23:27,600
some of the items that starliners

2239
02:23:47,429 --> 02:23:44,070
and we just got word that while

2240
02:23:50,230 --> 02:23:47,439
starliner was landing in white sands new

2241
02:23:52,230 --> 02:23:50,240
mexico it was landing at about 26 feet

2242
02:23:54,550 --> 02:23:52,240
per second which is

2243
02:23:56,309 --> 02:23:54,560
right what we expected

2244
02:24:00,790 --> 02:23:56,319
a very comfortable ride if we had

2245
02:25:05,429 --> 02:24:02,630
and then of course cushioned by those

2246
02:25:09,190 --> 02:25:06,870
but a brief cut out there but we are

2247
02:25:11,110 --> 02:25:09,200
going to go back now to rosa who is with

2248
02:25:17,590 --> 02:25:11,120
mark nappy she's going to get a few uh

2249
02:25:21,190 --> 02:25:19,349
hey there it's actually megan gessner

2250
02:25:23,429 --> 02:25:21,200
out here in the field with mark mappy

2251
02:25:25,030 --> 02:25:23,439
and mark you know we did experience a

2252
02:25:27,110 --> 02:25:25,040
little bit of the delay there at the

2253
02:25:28,950 --> 02:25:27,120
beginning with the hydrazine link can

2254
02:25:31,110 --> 02:25:28,960
you talk to us a little bit about that

2255
02:25:32,790 --> 02:25:31,120
okay well the team comes in

2256
02:25:35,110 --> 02:25:32,800
and has to check the vehicle out to make

2257
02:25:36,630 --> 02:25:35,120
sure it's safe for others to approach

2258
02:25:38,150 --> 02:25:36,640
when they got in they

2259
02:25:39,990 --> 02:25:38,160
have these things called sniffers that

2260
02:25:42,870 --> 02:25:40,000
come in and check for

2261
02:25:44,790 --> 02:25:42,880
hazardous gases such as hydrazine

2262
02:25:46,710 --> 02:25:44,800
they came in the thruster covers were

2263
02:25:48,710 --> 02:25:46,720
put on and they got a little bit of a

2264
02:25:51,030 --> 02:25:48,720
high reading so they fell back like they

2265
02:25:52,790 --> 02:25:51,040
were supposed to and

2266
02:25:55,110 --> 02:25:52,800
made sure that they could

2267
02:25:57,590 --> 02:25:55,120
assure that the area was safe they went

2268
02:25:59,590 --> 02:25:57,600
back checked again and all of it had

2269
02:26:01,030 --> 02:25:59,600
dissipated so everything was safe so the

2270
02:26:02,309 --> 02:26:01,040
team reacted just like they were

2271
02:26:04,389 --> 02:26:02,319
supposed to

2272
02:26:06,710 --> 02:26:04,399
it was a sort of a nominal

2273
02:26:08,550 --> 02:26:06,720
situation that we sometimes encounter

2274
02:26:10,230 --> 02:26:08,560
and uh everything's back to normal and

2275
02:26:12,309 --> 02:26:10,240
the team is off getting the vehicle

2276
02:26:14,389 --> 02:26:12,319
saved and that's why it's so important

2277
02:26:15,990 --> 02:26:14,399
that we practice these types of things

2278
02:26:18,389 --> 02:26:16,000
to ensure the safety of everyone that's

2279
02:26:20,389 --> 02:26:18,399
here absolutely and today was just a

2280
02:26:21,510 --> 02:26:20,399

and really pretty awesome for him to be

2330
02:28:02,150 --> 02:28:01,120
out there at the landing site with our

2331
02:28:03,750 --> 02:28:02,160
crews

2332
02:28:06,230 --> 02:28:03,760
i'm sure it was a very exciting moment

2333
02:28:09,349 --> 02:28:06,240
for him and everyone else to see

2334
02:28:11,830 --> 02:28:09,359
starliner land so delicately there

2335
02:28:51,349 --> 02:28:11,840
at about 4 49 mountain time this

2336
02:28:54,630 --> 02:28:52,630
we're going to keep sticking with

2337
02:28:56,630 --> 02:28:54,640
coverage for a little while longer as uh

2338
02:28:58,550 --> 02:28:56,640
the teams make their way through the

2339
02:29:00,550 --> 02:28:58,560
post landing recovery

2340
02:29:02,630 --> 02:29:00,560
checklist

2341
02:29:04,309 --> 02:29:02,640
as you heard there from dan and rosa

2342
02:29:05,750 --> 02:29:04,319
earlier they and as you can see here on

2343
02:29:10,630 --> 02:29:05,760
your screen they do have the hatches

2344
02:29:15,750 --> 02:29:12,950
still got about two hours left until

2345
02:29:21,270 --> 02:29:15,760
sunset in new mexico so they've got

2346
02:29:24,790 --> 02:29:23,190
and as megan was talking to mark nappy

2347
02:29:26,790 --> 02:29:24,800
we did get a peek inside the crew

2348
02:29:27,750 --> 02:29:26,800
capsule we could see rosie there in her

2349
02:29:29,349 --> 02:29:27,760
seat

2350
02:29:31,590 --> 02:29:29,359
everything looked good she looked

2351
02:29:34,389 --> 02:29:31,600
exactly in the place that

2352
02:29:35,750 --> 02:29:34,399
the crew on the iss left her

2353
02:29:45,750 --> 02:29:35,760
just this morning

2354
02:29:48,150 --> 02:29:46,870
we're hoping that in the next few

2355
02:29:50,150 --> 02:29:48,160
minutes we'll get to hear a little bit

2356
02:29:51,990 --> 02:29:50,160
from astronaut butch wilmore who is at

2357
02:29:54,230 --> 02:29:52,000
the scene along with the recovery team

2358
02:29:56,950 --> 02:29:54,240
he of course expects to

2359
02:29:58,710 --> 02:29:56,960
be in the capsule for this scene next

2360
02:30:01,190 --> 02:29:58,720
time it comes around so be great to get

2361
02:30:04,070 --> 02:30:01,200
here his perspective

2362
02:30:05,830 --> 02:30:04,080
lots of activity still to uh to observe

2363
02:30:07,590 --> 02:30:05,840
is

2364
02:31:38,630 --> 02:30:07,600
as we make our way through these uh

2365
02:31:43,910 --> 02:31:41,110
and we're gonna go back now to megan

2366
02:31:54,230 --> 02:31:43,920

i mean

2374
02:32:10,070 --> 02:32:08,960
we all tracked towards the from the

2375
02:32:12,070 --> 02:32:10,080
beginning from launch all the way

2376
02:32:13,590 --> 02:32:12,080
through the mission and this is what we

2377
02:32:15,030 --> 02:32:13,600
were hoping for at the end right i mean

2378
02:32:17,349 --> 02:32:15,040
a soft uh

2379
02:32:19,030 --> 02:32:17,359
safe landing culmination of all the hard

2380
02:32:20,950 --> 02:32:19,040
work i mean you've got to give a huge

2381
02:32:22,550 --> 02:32:20,960
congratulations to the folks at boeing

2382
02:32:24,389 --> 02:32:22,560
all with martin dabney all the way down

2383
02:32:25,349 --> 02:32:24,399
everybody that's worked the program

2384
02:32:27,190 --> 02:32:25,359
um

2385
02:32:29,590 --> 02:32:27,200
gone through some some difficult

2386
02:32:31,030 --> 02:32:29,600
situations and now to culminate in this

2387
02:32:32,389 --> 02:32:31,040
after a wonderful it's wonderfully

2388
02:32:34,870 --> 02:32:32,399
successful mission i mean you can ask

2389
02:32:36,630 --> 02:32:34,880
for more absolutely definitely takes a

2390
02:32:39,830 --> 02:32:36,640
big team effort to have all this happen

2391
02:32:41,990 --> 02:32:39,840
you know now as as a a casual observer

2392
02:32:49,910 --> 02:32:42,000
you know i see one thing when i see a

2393
02:32:53,590 --> 02:32:51,830
and as we mentioned earlier we have had

2394
02:32:55,510 --> 02:32:53,600
some trouble with the signal going in

2395
02:32:58,469 --> 02:32:55,520
and out with our live crews there on the

2396
02:33:01,510 --> 02:32:58,479
scene so if we can get them um back up

2397
02:33:03,349 --> 02:33:01,520
we will and if not um

2398
02:33:05,110 --> 02:33:03,359
we will probably get one more check in

2399
02:33:58,309 --> 02:33:05,120
with our crew before we wrap things up

2400
02:34:03,030 --> 02:34:00,389
and you are seeing live pictures of our

2401
02:34:05,670 --> 02:34:03,040
crews that are performing many of the

2402
02:34:07,190 --> 02:34:05,680
closeout procedures and

2403
02:34:09,750 --> 02:34:07,200
landing

2404
02:34:11,110 --> 02:34:09,760
procedures that we've been talking about

2405
02:34:13,429 --> 02:34:11,120
making their way through that crew

2406
02:34:16,630 --> 02:34:13,439
capsule

2407
02:34:20,230 --> 02:34:16,640
after a 449 mountain time landing this

2408
02:34:21,750 --> 02:34:20,240
afternoon 5 49 central

2409
02:34:23,429 --> 02:34:21,760
and it sounds like we do have the signal

2410
02:34:26,070 --> 02:34:23,439
back so we are going to go back out live

2411
02:34:52,790 --> 02:34:26,080
to megan gessner and astronaut butch

2412
02:34:56,309 --> 02:34:54,389
sounds like we are not going to get

2413
02:34:58,230 --> 02:34:56,319
megan and butch back but we're gonna

2414
02:35:00,630 --> 02:34:58,240
hang with this uh this view a little

2415
02:37:00,630 --> 02:35:00,640
while longer see if we can get another

2416
02:37:05,270 --> 02:37:03,510
we promised you one more last update

2417
02:37:06,790 --> 02:37:05,280
from the scene in new mexico and now's

2418
02:37:09,190 --> 02:37:06,800
the time so we're going to go back to

2419
02:37:11,510 --> 02:37:09,200
nasa's dan hewitt and boeing's rosa

2420
02:37:16,790 --> 02:37:11,520
buenuellos to give us one final report

2421
02:37:20,950 --> 02:37:18,870
hey thanks brandi yeah we'll we'll get

2422
02:37:23,349 --> 02:37:20,960
through it quick just in case we drop

2423
02:37:25,590 --> 02:37:23,359
out so uh all the hatch operations have

2424
02:37:27,270 --> 02:37:25,600
continued uh they're moving inside the

2425
02:37:29,030 --> 02:37:27,280
capsule now so we're about to get into

2426
02:37:30,389 --> 02:37:29,040
the cargo operations again we've got a

2427
02:37:32,309 --> 02:37:30,399
small amount of cargo that's going to

2428
02:37:33,910 --> 02:37:32,319
come off some radiation monitors and

2429
02:37:36,150 --> 02:37:33,920
then a couple of other utilization or

2430
02:37:37,830 --> 02:37:36,160
science items and then one test that's

2431
02:37:39,429 --> 02:37:37,840
going to be coming up in a little bit as

2432
02:37:41,349 --> 02:37:39,439
with some of the safety hardware that's

2433
02:37:42,950 --> 02:37:41,359
on board so the crew will actually have

2434
02:37:44,710 --> 02:37:42,960
a satellite phone that they can plug

2435
02:37:47,270 --> 02:37:44,720
into the cm or the command module

2436
02:37:48,790 --> 02:37:47,280
systems that uses its antennas that they

2437
02:37:51,030 --> 02:37:48,800
can then make a satellite call if they

2438
02:37:52,950 --> 02:37:51,040
land somewhere in a remote area without

2439
02:37:54,710 --> 02:37:52,960
a recovery team so we're going to do

2440
02:37:56,790 --> 02:37:54,720
that tesla in a little while a plane is

2441
02:37:58,790 --> 02:37:56,800
going to fly overhead to test it out and

2442
02:38:01,110 --> 02:37:58,800
then that'll largely wrap it up for most

2443
02:38:02,790 --> 02:38:01,120
of the team before we head back in

2444
02:38:04,550 --> 02:38:02,800
that's right dan and again we've uh

2445
02:38:06,309 --> 02:38:04,560
taken quite a bit of time and really

2446
02:38:08,309 --> 02:38:06,319
carefully gone through these procedures

2447
02:38:10,309 --> 02:38:08,319
um this crew module is reusable up to 10

2448
02:38:12,070 --> 02:38:10,319
times so we want to make sure it is

2449
02:38:13,750 --> 02:38:12,080
in good condition and so we could expand

2450
02:38:15,750 --> 02:38:13,760
the lifetime again this crew module will

2451
02:38:17,990 --> 02:38:15,760
be used for a post certification mission

2452
02:38:20,469 --> 02:38:18,000
and so again after um tonight it will

2453
02:38:22,309 --> 02:38:20,479
stay here and then we will uh take it to

2454
02:38:24,630 --> 02:38:22,319
a processing center and then take it

2455
02:38:26,309 --> 02:38:24,640
back in a vehicle to uh back to kennedy

2456
02:38:28,070 --> 02:38:26,319
space center so again it's been a

2457
02:38:29,510 --> 02:38:28,080
fantastic day and the sun is starting to

2458
02:38:31,349 --> 02:38:29,520
go down we probably will see a sunset

2459
02:38:33,429 --> 02:38:31,359
tour right here in a little bit um but

2460
02:38:35,030 --> 02:38:33,439
again we it's been a little warm but

2461
02:38:37,270 --> 02:38:35,040
again we're hanging in there everybody

2462
02:38:39,429 --> 02:38:37,280

2463
02:38:41,190 --> 02:38:39,439
of this mission and again as myself i'm

2464
02:38:43,830 --> 02:38:41,200
excited as well to be here and so it's

2465
02:38:45,670 --> 02:38:43,840
been a fantastic day yeah it's been an

2466
02:38:46,469 --> 02:38:45,680
absolute pleasure to see starliner come

2467
02:38:48,309 --> 02:38:46,479
down

2468
02:38:49,349 --> 02:38:48,319
to see all the operations watch the team

2469
02:38:51,750 --> 02:38:49,359
walk through

2470
02:38:53,910 --> 02:38:51,760
everything uh even when we hit a little

2471
02:38:56,550 --> 02:38:53,920
bit of adversity they overcame the

2472
02:38:58,710 --> 02:38:56,560
capsule's safe now and welcome home

2473
02:39:00,309 --> 02:38:58,720

bit of the the magic the excitement of

2478
02:39:09,830 --> 02:39:08,080
human space flight looking forward to

2479
02:39:12,070 --> 02:39:09,840
the next time when we're out here and

2480
02:39:14,950 --> 02:39:12,080

wonderful journey to watch starliner

2489
02:39:33,910 --> 02:39:32,640
