00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:40,719
as you see in this video began its trek

189
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:43,279
to the launch pad last sunday hauled to

190
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,080
the pad horizontally on a rail car and a

191
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:48,000
process that took about 40 minutes to

192
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:49,120
complete

193
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:51,200
once at the pad the soyuz was raised

194
00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:53,680
hydraulically to its vertical position

195
00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:57,040
for final pre-launch preparations

196
00:09:00,630 --> 00:08:58,800
we continue to watch countdown clocks

197
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,640
ticking backward for the launch of the

198
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:02,560
next crew to the international space

199
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:05,920
station 46 and a half minutes from now

200
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,080
out on the launch pad at site 31 of the

201
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:10,480
baikonur cosmodrome the soyuz booster is

202
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:12,880
poised for launch fully fueled with

203
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:15,600
kerosene and liquid oxygen as the

204
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:16,800
propellant

205
00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:19,440
the soyuz 2.1a is the ticket to ride for

206
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:21,519
crews launching from the baikonur

207
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:22,880
cosmodrome

208
00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:25,120
let's take a closer look at that soyuz

209
00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:30,870
the soyuz rocket stands 162 feet tall

210
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:33,600
weighs about 640 000 pounds and consists

211
00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:35,360
of the soyuz spacecraft inside a

212
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:37,279
protective shroud at the top and the

213
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:41,200
three-stage soyuz 2.1a booster below

214
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:43,120
the first stage has four liquid engines

215
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,880
strapped to the side of the core vehicle

216
00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:46,880
each will burn for one minute and 58

217
00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:48,839
seconds before they drop

218
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:51,440
away the core engine of the first stage

219
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:53,040
also serves as the second stage and

220
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:55,360
continues to burn until 4 minutes and 57

221
00:09:59,110 --> 00:09:57,440
seconds into the flight

222
00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:59,120
the third stage has a single engine that

223
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:00,640
will ignite before the separation of the

224
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,800
second stage helping to push it away

225
00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:04,959
safely it will burn until the 8 minutes

226
00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:07,519
and 46 seconds mark of the flight and at

227
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:08,959
that point the soyuz spacecraft will

228
00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:10,480
separate from the third stage having

229
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:21,269
[Music]

230
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:24,240
on site uh 31 at the baikonur cosmodrome

231
00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:26,000
in kazakhstan is what you're looking at

232
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:27,040
right now

233
00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:29,360
in the central asian desert again the

234
00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:31,200
weather is ideal

235
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,440
as we are approaching sunset at the

236
00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:35,040
launch site

237
00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:39,440
sunset will occur at about 6 47 p.m in

238
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,160
baikonur about seven minutes before

239
00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,880
liftoff we'll talk a bit more about the

240
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:46,800
orbital mechanics of this two-orbit

241
00:10:53,330 --> 00:10:49,519
rendezvous for rubio procopio

242
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,340

250
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:12,880
as the countdown is uh now 44.5 minutes

251
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:18,949
the soyuz spacecraft the ms-22 which

252
00:11:22,389 --> 00:11:20,480
will be headed to the international

253
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:22,399
space station a short time from now is

254
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,880
comprised of three sections

255
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,480
let's take a look at the soyuz

256
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:28,480
spacecraft that soon will be delivering

257
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:30,800
rubio procopia and patellin to the

258
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:37,910
the whole soyuz spacecraft is 24.5 feet

259
00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:40,640
long with an overall volume of 177 cubic

260
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:42,880
feet and comprised of three modules the

261
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:44,880
descent module situated in the middle of

262
00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:46,959
the soyuz vehicle contains customized

263
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,560
seats for the crew members during launch

264
00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:50,399
entry and landing and contains all the

265
00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:52,000
controls and displays necessary for the

266
00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:54,160
flight it also houses life support

267
00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:56,000
systems batteries for the re-entry and

268
00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:57,600
landing and the parachute and soft

269
00:12:00,790 --> 00:11:59,120
landing rocket engines that slow the

270
00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:00,800
soyuz just before touchdown as a

271
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:03,440
spacecraft lands in kazakhstan

272
00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:05,120
there are eight hydrogen peroxide

273
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:07,120
thrusters located on the module which

274
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,720
are used to control the spacecraft's

275
00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:10,720
orientation or attitude during the

276
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:13,360
descent until parachute deployment

277
00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:14,880
the descent module also contains a

278
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,480
guidance navigation and control system

279
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,240
used to maneuver the vehicle during the

280
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,160
descent phase of the mission

281
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,240
this descent module is 7.3 feet long

282
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:24,480
with a diameter of 7.1 feet and a

283
00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:27,760
habitable volume of 124 cubic feet it is

284
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:29,040
the only portion of the soyuz that

285
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:30,800
survives the return to earth

286
00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:33,120
the orbital module at the top is 9.8

287
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:34,959
feet long it connects to the descent

288
00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:37,040
module via pressurized hatch this is

289
00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:38,399
where the crew has a small amount of

290
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:39,920
room to move around following launch

291
00:12:43,990 --> 00:12:42,079
during the flight to the space station

292
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:44,000
it has a docking mechanism hatch and

293
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:46,000
rendezvous antennas located at the front

294
00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:48,000
end the docking mechanism is used to

295
00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:49,519
dock with the space station and the

296
00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:51,120
hatch allows entry into the orbiting

297
00:12:55,190 --> 00:12:53,600
complex the rendezvous antennas are used

298
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:55,200
by the automated docking system which

299
00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:57,200
uses radar to maneuver toward the

300
00:13:00,550 --> 00:12:58,959
station for docking

301
00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:00,560
there's also a forward-looking window in

302
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:02,240
the module that the crew can use to take

303
00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:03,920
manual measurements of distance and

304
00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:06,000
closing speed with a laser rangefinder

305
00:13:09,910 --> 00:13:07,519
in the event of failure of the

306
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:09,920
rendezvous radar system

307
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:11,920
the propulsion module houses the oxygen

308
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:13,839
storage tanks the main engine and the

309
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:16,160
attitude control thrusters avionics and

310
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:17,920
communication and control equipment the

311
00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:19,600
propulsion portion of this module

312
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:21,360
handles all orbital maneuvers including

313
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:22,800
those needed for the rendezvous with the

314
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:25,040
space station and the orbit burn at the

315
00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:26,639
end of the spacecraft's mission before

316
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:28,240
they are deployed the two solar arrays

317
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:29,519
are folded against the body of the

318
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,600
propulsion module which along with the

319
00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,360
orbital module separates from the

320
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:35,519
descent module after the orbit burn the

321
00:13:40,310 --> 00:13:38,480
solar panels span almost 35 feet

322
00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:40,320
the entire spacecraft serves not only as

323
00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:41,920
a crew transport vehicle to and from the

324
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,680
space station but also as an emergency

325
00:13:46,949 --> 00:13:45,519
returned vehicle in the unlikely event

326
00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:46,959
the crew needs to leave the station

327
00:13:59,110 --> 00:13:56,870
and you'll be seeing a lot more of that

328
00:14:00,790 --> 00:13:59,120
soyuz spacecraft a few hours from now as

329
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:00,800

373
00:16:20,829 --> 00:16:17,600
to his left by demetri patellan of rose

374
00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:20,839
cosmos and to his right by nasa's frank

375
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:24,079
rubio the countdown is proceeding toward

376
00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:26,880
a launch just over 39 minutes from now

377
00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:28,720
we should get a final go no go for

378
00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:31,759
launch within the next 10 minutes

379
00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:32,959
the launch

380
00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:35,920
again will be 8 minutes and 45 seconds

381
00:16:40,949 --> 00:16:38,720
between liftoff and third stage shutdown

382
00:16:43,590 --> 00:16:40,959
of the soyuz booster and spacecraft

383
00:16:44,710 --> 00:16:43,600
separation placing the soyuz in its

384
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:44,720
initial

385
00:16:50,470 --> 00:16:47,759
preliminary orbit to begin the chase to

386
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:50,480
reach the international space station

387
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:52,480
the way uh today's orbital mechanics

388
00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:54,800
work is that the soyuz booster will

389
00:17:00,550 --> 00:16:56,800
launch into a narrow phase angle of

390
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:00,560
about 13 degrees it's basically like

391
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:03,120
going up an off-ramp

392
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:05,839
or an on-ramp onto a freeway making sure

393
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:07,919
you're in the correct lane with the

394
00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:09,839
launch time calculated for this

395
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:12,079
fast-track two-orbit rendezvous to

396
00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:13,839
ensure that the

397
00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,280
rotation of the earth carries the

398
00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,600
baikonur cosmodrome into the plane of

399
00:17:22,390 --> 00:17:19,919
the international space station's orbit

400
00:17:24,789 --> 00:17:22,400
at the precise moment there is only a

401
00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:24,799
10-second launch window available for

402
00:17:28,950 --> 00:17:26,880
the soyuz vehicle

403
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:28,960
once a third-state shutdown and orbital

404
00:17:33,590 --> 00:17:31,280
insertion occurs for soyuz along with

405
00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:33,600
spacecraft separation the soyuz will

406
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:35,440
automatically deploy its

407
00:17:39,909 --> 00:17:37,679
twin solar arrays and its navigational

408
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:39,919
antennas and will begin the chase to

409
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:41,760
catch up to the international space

410
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,320
station a series of automated rendezvous

411
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:47,200
burns will take place over the next two

412
00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:50,960
hours or so following launch to place

413
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:52,720
the soyuz in the neighborhood of the

414
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:55,120
international space station for final

415
00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:57,280
approach a fly around

416
00:18:02,870 --> 00:17:59,840
that will begin at about 11 50 a.m

417
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:02,880
central time that will precisely align

418
00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:05,600
the soyuz forward docking probe with the

419
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:08,720
rassvet module on the earth-facing side

420
00:18:12,710 --> 00:18:11,120
of the international space station's

421
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:12,720
russian segment

422
00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:14,480
there will be a brief period of station

423
00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,160
keeping to allow

424
00:18:21,110 --> 00:18:18,480
the flight controllers at the control

425
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:21,120
center and current off to

426
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:23,120
assess the precise alignment of the

427
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,320
soyuz with the rassvet module before

428
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:28,480
approval is given for final approach if

429
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:30,400
everything is going as planned this

430
00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:33,039
should be an automated approach although

431
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:34,960
procopia will be standing by to take

432
00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:36,960
over manual control of the flying of the

433
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:39,440
soyuz in the event there should be a

434
00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:41,120
problem with the core's automated

435
00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:42,400
rendezvous system

436
00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:44,559
on the soyuz vehicle

437
00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:46,400
if everything goes as planned docking is

438
00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:49,360
scheduled at 12 11 pm central time 1 11

439
00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,080
pm eastern time followed by the closing

440
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:54,960
of the hooks to form a hard mate between

441
00:19:00,990 --> 00:18:57,280
the soyuz and the international space

442
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:11,530
[Music]

443
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:20,650
[Applause]

444
00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:30,789
some of the events you'll be seeing in

445
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:34,000
the final minutes before launch will

446
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:36,320
include the purging a few lines and

447
00:19:40,710 --> 00:19:38,080
other elements of the rocket engines at

448
00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:40,720
about the t-minus four minute mark

449
00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:43,520
those rocket engines will be purged with

450
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:46,160
nitrogen to fire proof them removing

451
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:48,880
vapors of fuel and oxidizer

452
00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:51,760
before the key to drainage call is made

453
00:19:55,029 --> 00:19:52,799
by the

454
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:55,039
launch controllers at baikonur that

455
00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:57,280
basically uh places uh

456
00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:59,280
the valves through which evaporated or

457
00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:01,440
gaseous oxygen escapes from the fuel

458
00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:03,760
tanks into the atmosphere at the same

459
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:05,440
time the valves are providing liquid

460
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:08,240
oxygen to replenish the fuel supply lost

461
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:11,120
by the boil off or evaporation

462
00:20:16,270 --> 00:20:13,840
through the normal course of the fueling

463
00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:16,280
of the rocket at the t-minus two-minute

464
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:19,360
45-second mark in the countdown

465
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:21,840
the first stage fuel and oxidizer tanks

466
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:23,840
will be pressurized to optimize fuel

467
00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,480
flow and to provide structural rigidity

468
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:28,799
to the launch vehicle as it sits on the

469
00:20:34,789 --> 00:20:31,520
launch pad as you see there in baikonur

470
00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:34,799
and at the t-minus 45 second mark the

471
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:36,559
activation of the s-band ground-to-air

472
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:39,039
radio command link channel will be made

473
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:41,760
for the three crew members on board the

474
00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:42,760
soyuz

475
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:45,200
ms-22 spacecraft

476
00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:46,960
there are two umbilicals that are

477
00:20:51,669 --> 00:20:49,039
buttressed up against the side of the

478
00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:51,679
soyuz vehicle one of those umbilicals

479
00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:54,000
will retract at about the t minus 30

480
00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,600
second mark or so

481
00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:57,360
the second of the two umbilicals will

482
00:21:01,990 --> 00:20:59,840
retract at the t minus 12 second mark

483
00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:02,000
and that will initiate the auto sequence

484
00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:04,880
start for engine ignition and eventually

485
00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:07,679
for liftoff

486
00:21:11,590 --> 00:21:09,760
and now you see the gantry arms

487
00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:11,600
beginning to spread

488
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:14,880
right on schedule at the t-minus 34

489
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,240
minute 30 second mark into the countdown

490
00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:20,559
this obviously exposes the vehicle for

491
00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:23,200
the first time on top as the launch

492
00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:25,919
escape system in the unlikely event

493
00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:27,520
there would be a technical issue that

494
00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:29,600
would require the soyuz to be pulled

495
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:30,400
free

496
00:21:36,430 --> 00:21:33,280
from the upper stage of the soyuz 2.18

497
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:45,590
[Music]

498
00:21:49,970 --> 00:21:48,070
i not get to heaven

499
00:22:11,590 --> 00:21:49,980
but i won't

500
00:22:14,950 --> 00:22:13,350
and about three minutes from now uh the

501
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:14,960
flight control team here in mission

502
00:22:18,549 --> 00:22:16,559
control in houston led by flight

503
00:22:20,789 --> 00:22:18,559
director allison bollinger

504
00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:20,799
will be pulling the team for a go for

505
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:21,760
launch

506
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:24,640
she will relay that to her counterpart

507
00:22:30,970 --> 00:22:26,480
of the russian mission control center in

508
00:22:47,590 --> 00:22:30,980
karilov half a world away

509
00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:51,190
inside 33 minutes now before launch

510
00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,600
we should be receiving from baikonur

511
00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:55,360
about three minutes from now

512
00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:56,400
a uh

513
00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:59,520
video b-roll package of launch morning

514
00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:00,960
activities

515
00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:03,200
that the three crew members engaged in

516
00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:05,440
before they arrived and at the point

517
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:07,280
that they arrived at the launch pad at

518
00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:08,400
site 31

519
00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:10,640
so we'll be standing by for that

520
00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:12,880
all the launch preparations continue to

521
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:15,280
go well and again down at the kennedy

522
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:17,840
space center on launch pad 39b the

523
00:23:23,430 --> 00:23:20,880
cryogenic propellant tanking test for

524
00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,440
the space launch system on pad 39b

525
00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:25,520
continues so far

526
00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:28,240
uh that could if all goes well lead to

527
00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:30,000
the launch of the space launch system on

528
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:39,750
any additional formats or displays on ae

529
00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:40,720
and

530
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:47,909
the accelerometer is on

531
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:59,990
we copy

532
00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:01,830
as we mentioned at the top of the

533
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:04,960
broadcast it is uh an ideal

534
00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:07,360
evening for launch for the three crew

535
00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:08,960
members to the international space

536
00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:10,080
station

537
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:12,240
the temperature in baikonur is about 85

538
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:14,000
degrees fahrenheit not a cloud in the

539
00:24:17,669 --> 00:24:15,360
sky

540
00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,679
the launch to occur about

541
00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:19,919
seven minutes after sunset it should be

542
00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:22,960
spectacular as the soyuz arcs out to the

543
00:24:27,110 --> 00:24:25,440
northeast headed for the international

544
00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:27,120
space station

545
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:30,240
this is a two orbit uh rendezvous today

546
00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:32,480
precisely calculated it will take just

547
00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:34,960
over three hours for rubio procopia and

548
00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:37,760
patellin to reach their destination

549
00:24:43,029 --> 00:24:39,840
through a series of pre-programmed

550
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:43,039
automated engine firings that will first

551
00:24:45,990 --> 00:24:44,159
elevate

552
00:24:48,470 --> 00:24:46,000
and increase their altitude toward the

553
00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:48,480
station after third stage separation on

554
00:24:52,789 --> 00:24:50,400
the soyuz booster

555
00:24:54,549 --> 00:24:52,799
and separation of the soyuz spacecraft

556
00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:54,559
from the third stage

557
00:24:59,430 --> 00:24:57,200
the stair-step fashion that they will

558
00:25:01,590 --> 00:24:59,440

01:04:05,109 --> 01:04:02,079
crew is feeling great we're waiting for

1124
01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:05,119
the separation

1125
01:04:11,750 --> 01:04:08,880
the crew on board the soyuz ms-22

1126
01:04:13,670 --> 01:04:11,760
rubio procopium and patella now about 15

1127
01:04:25,109 --> 01:04:13,680
seconds away from third stage shutdown

1128
01:04:25,119 --> 01:04:35,349
520

1129
01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:37,670
and we have third stage shutdown

1130
01:04:43,270 --> 01:04:39,760
and spacecraft separation you see the

1131
01:04:47,270 --> 01:04:45,670
time tag commands now will deploy the

1132
01:04:52,870 --> 01:04:47,280
solar arrays and the navigational

1133
01:05:09,349 --> 01:04:58,710
outside moscow

1134
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:11,670
and we now have confirmation of a

1135
01:05:15,349 --> 01:05:13,920
perfect solar array and navigational

1136
01:05:18,150 --> 01:05:15,359
antenna deploy

1137
01:05:20,309 --> 01:05:18,160
the soyuz ms-22 now in its

1138
01:05:22,150 --> 01:05:20,319
preliminary orbit

1139
01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:22,160
and the chase has begun to catch up to

1140
01:05:25,910 --> 01:05:24,000
the international space station with

1141
01:05:26,789 --> 01:05:25,920
docking planned just three hours from

1142
01:05:28,950 --> 01:05:26,799
now

1143
01:05:31,349 --> 01:05:28,960
after a two-orbit journey

1144
01:05:32,230 --> 01:05:31,359
docking scheduled at 12 11

1145
01:06:11,910 --> 01:05:32,240
p.m

1146
01:06:16,150 --> 01:06:14,390
yes what about the separation contact

1147
01:06:18,150 --> 01:06:16,160
how did it go

1148
01:06:21,190 --> 01:06:18,160
it went nominally how do you read me

1149
01:06:23,589 --> 01:06:21,200
this is outside one outside one read you

1150
01:06:25,670 --> 01:06:23,599
loud and clear and we copy

1151
01:06:26,470 --> 01:06:25,680
everything went nominally yes there was

1152
01:06:36,630 --> 01:06:26,480
a

1153
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:40,789
yes

1154
01:06:44,630 --> 01:06:43,349
is complete right right now we'll be

1155
01:06:47,270 --> 01:06:44,640
working with

1156
01:06:50,710 --> 01:06:47,280
empl empl2

1157
01:06:55,190 --> 01:06:50,720
so you need to combat the display

1158
01:06:59,829 --> 01:06:58,230
along the roll axis is here

1159
01:07:01,349 --> 01:06:59,839
we confirm and we copy and we're

1160
01:07:04,069 --> 01:07:01,359
monitoring that

1161
01:07:06,470 --> 01:07:04,079
and the tv system

1162
01:07:09,430 --> 01:07:06,480
is on and we're waiting for the first

1163
01:07:12,630 --> 01:07:09,440
measurement from your first measurement

1164
01:07:18,870 --> 01:07:12,640
17 0 421

1165
01:07:22,230 --> 01:07:20,549
this is mission control houston back

1166
01:07:24,390 --> 01:07:22,240
here in the international space station

1167
01:07:26,630 --> 01:07:24,400
flight control room the orbit 2 team of

1168
01:07:29,270 --> 01:07:26,640
flight controllers uh

1169
01:07:32,069 --> 01:07:29,280
now proceeding on to

1170
01:07:33,349 --> 01:07:32,079
monitor the progress of the soyuz ms-22

1171
01:07:35,829 --> 01:07:33,359
spacecraft

1172
01:07:37,990 --> 01:07:35,839
to the international space station with

1173
01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:38,000
docking schedule just a little over

1174
01:07:43,510 --> 01:07:40,400
three hours from now

1175
01:07:44,710 --> 01:07:43,520
the launch uh as you just saw occurred

1176
01:07:55,029 --> 01:07:44,720
on time

1177
01:07:59,589 --> 01:07:57,750
54 and 49 seconds p.m at the baikonur

1178
01:08:01,190 --> 01:07:59,599
cosmodrome just a few minutes after

1179
01:08:04,870 --> 01:08:01,200
sunset

1180
01:08:07,430 --> 01:08:04,880
all of the ascent uh activities

1181
01:08:08,470 --> 01:08:07,440
uh occurred on time and were perfectly

1182
01:08:10,789 --> 01:08:08,480
normal

1183
01:08:12,470 --> 01:08:10,799
the perfect ascent to orbit uh third

1184
01:08:15,270 --> 01:08:12,480
stage shutdown occurring eight minutes

1185
01:08:16,789 --> 01:08:15,280
and 45 seconds after launch

1186
01:08:20,309 --> 01:08:16,799
right on time

1187
01:08:23,430 --> 01:08:20,319
enabling the three crew members on board

1188
01:08:25,510 --> 01:08:23,440
the soyuz spacecraft frank rubio

1189
01:08:28,309 --> 01:08:25,520
dimitri patellan and the soyuz commander

1190
01:08:30,550 --> 01:08:28,319
sergey prokopiev to begin uh

1191
01:08:32,309 --> 01:08:30,560
all the procedures that will lead uh

1192
01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:32,319
towards an automated rendezvous and

1193
01:08:37,349 --> 01:08:34,400
docking to the rassvet module of the

1194
01:08:39,910 --> 01:08:37,359
international space station at 12 11 p.m

1195
01:08:42,149 --> 01:08:39,920
central time

1196
01:08:43,349 --> 01:08:42,159
our docking coverage uh

1197
01:08:45,910 --> 01:08:43,359
will

1198
01:08:49,510 --> 01:08:45,920
begin a little over two hours from now

1199
01:08:52,630 --> 01:08:49,520
at 11 15 a.m central 12 15 p.m eastern

1200
01:08:54,550 --> 01:08:52,640
time on the public channel meanwhile

1201
01:08:56,950 --> 01:08:54,560
we're going to return the public channel

1202
01:08:59,189 --> 01:08:56,960
to the kennedy space center in florida

1203
01:09:01,749 --> 01:08:59,199
where the cryogenic tanking test of the

1204
01:09:04,229 --> 01:09:01,759
space launch system is continuing

1205
01:09:06,309 --> 01:09:04,239
out on launch pad 39b

1206
01:09:08,630 --> 01:09:06,319
so we have a double dip for you today

1207
01:09:10,870 --> 01:09:08,640
the soyuz launch and upcoming rendezvous

1208
01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:10,880
and docking of the three new residents

1209
01:09:15,749 --> 01:09:12,960
of the international space station

1210
01:09:18,789 --> 01:09:15,759
and the cryogenic tanking test that if

1211
01:09:20,550 --> 01:09:18,799
successful could lead to a launch

1212
01:09:23,590 --> 01:09:20,560
the maiden launch of the space launch

1213
01:09:25,590 --> 01:09:23,600
system on september 27th

1214
01:09:27,030 --> 01:09:25,600
for now that'll wrap up our coverage of

1215
01:09:29,749 --> 01:09:27,040
the launch

1216
01:09:31,590 --> 01:09:29,759
of soyuz ms-22 to the international

1217
01:09:34,070 --> 01:09:31,600
space station we'll see you back here in

1218
01:09:36,789 --> 01:09:34,080
two hours for the rendezvous and docking

1219
01:09:41,050 --> 01:09:36,799
coverage in the meantime this is mission
