1
00:00:07,369 --> 00:00:05,150
that should be happening any any moment

2
00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:07,379
now so far we've had the trunk

3
00:00:13,129 --> 00:00:10,440
jettisoned uh the slew to de-orbit burn

4
00:00:27,290 --> 00:00:13,139
attitude and again just waiting for that

5
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:35,270
hearing 10 seconds until the burn begins

6
00:00:39,709 --> 00:00:37,310
and we do have confirmation that the

7
00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:39,719
orbit burn has begun

8
00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:42,540
this burn is expected to last about 17

9
00:01:07,789 --> 00:01:04,810
So within the last 10 minutes Dragon

10
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:07,799
jettisoned its trunk and initiated the

11
00:01:13,310 --> 00:01:10,560
diorbit burn just seconds ago that door

12
00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:13,320
bit burn is now underway we are

13
00:01:18,530 --> 00:01:15,720
expecting about 16 more minutes to

14
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:18,540
remain in that deorbit burn the burn in

15
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:21,720
all is slated to last about 17 minutes

16
00:01:26,749 --> 00:01:24,840
and for these operations NASA and SpaceX

17
00:01:30,109 --> 00:01:26,759
do closely coordinate with the United

18
00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:30,119
States Coast Guard to establish a safe a

19
00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:33,060
safety zone to ensure Public Safety and

20
00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:34,380
of course for the safety of those

21
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:36,200
involved in the recovery options

22
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:39,000
operations as well as the crew on board

23
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:40,860
the returning spacecraft

24
00:01:45,649 --> 00:01:43,439
multiple notices are issued to the

25
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:45,659
Mariners in advance and during recovery

26
00:01:50,270 --> 00:01:48,240
operations and Coast Guard Patrol boats

27
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,280
are deployed to discourage voters from

28
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,040
entering the Splashdown zones we do want

29
00:01:57,469 --> 00:01:54,960
to stress to the public the need to

30
00:01:59,630 --> 00:01:57,479
respect this safety zone recovering a

31
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:59,640
spacecraft from the water is a hazardous

32
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:01,680
operation and any other boats

33
00:02:06,289 --> 00:02:03,780
interfering increases risk to the

34
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:06,299
astronauts in the capsule and the teams

35
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:08,160
are working to recover them from the

36
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:10,080
water and the safety of those that come

37
00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:12,660
too close so for the safety of the crew

38
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:14,879
and your safety we really do recommend

39
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:17,280
you sit back and watch here as we'll be

40
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:19,080
bringing you the very best possible

41
00:02:22,729 --> 00:02:21,360
views of our astronauts homecoming and

42
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:22,739
you can see some of those views right

43
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:26,700
now from the recovery vessel Megan

44
00:02:32,990 --> 00:02:29,400
like we mentioned earlier the deorbit

45
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:33,000
burn is the last time that the four

46
00:02:37,729 --> 00:02:35,640
forward Draco thrusters will fire dragon

47
00:02:39,890 --> 00:02:37,739
Freedom has not yet entered Earth's

48
00:02:42,890 --> 00:02:39,900
atmosphere this deorbit burn is what

49
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:42,900
will line the vehicle up and put it on

50
00:02:47,390 --> 00:02:45,060
its final trajectory to The Landing site

51
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:47,400
off the coast of Jacksonville Florida

52
00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:50,879
right now Chell Bob Jessica and Samantha

53
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:53,400
are using their screens to keep tabs on

54
00:02:57,410 --> 00:02:55,200
the burn duration which we were able to

55
00:03:01,250 --> 00:02:57,420
get a live view of a little bit earlier

56
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:01,260
Draco Thruster firings and trajectory

57
00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:04,260
details like entry angle capsule perigee

58
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,239
and how much distance remaining until

59
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:08,640
the deorbit burn termination

60
00:03:13,369 --> 00:03:11,159
dragon is flying itself again it's

61
00:03:15,170 --> 00:03:13,379
autonomous so all the crew has to do is

62
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:15,180
stay strapped in their seats and keep

63
00:03:25,729 --> 00:03:23,570
but shell Bob Jessica and Samantha ready

64
00:03:27,890 --> 00:03:25,739
to de-orbit and splash down back on

65
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:27,900
Earth they'll be heading to one of seven

66
00:03:32,509 --> 00:03:30,060
targeted sites supported by SpaceX and

67
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,519
NASA all of these sites are located off

68
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:34,560
the coast of Florida either in the Gulf

69
00:03:38,930 --> 00:03:36,959
of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean

70
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:38,940
spreading the supported sites across

71
00:03:42,770 --> 00:03:41,040
multiple locations helps to maximize the

72
00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,780
return opportunities for this Mission

73
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:44,879
and future Crews lowering the chance

74
00:03:48,649 --> 00:03:47,760
that we'll have to wave off due to bad

75
00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:48,659
weather

76
00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:51,540
and earlier today NASA and SpaceX

77
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:54,120
jointly selected Prime and Alternate

78
00:03:58,850 --> 00:03:56,580
Splashdown locations off the coast of

79
00:04:01,490 --> 00:03:58,860
Jacksonville which is our Prime stay and

80
00:04:04,430 --> 00:04:01,500
where the boat is currently staged and

81
00:04:06,410 --> 00:04:04,440
the alternate is Tallahassee Florida the

82
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:06,420
selection process works with a lot of

83
00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:08,280
different variables including the Space

84
00:04:12,589 --> 00:04:10,920
Station's orbital trajectory what

85
00:04:14,509 --> 00:04:12,599
Landing sites are available and how

86
00:04:16,610 --> 00:04:14,519
favorable weather how much free flight

87
00:04:19,129 --> 00:04:16,620
capability dragon has for the trip home

88
00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:19,139
and the sleep schedule for the returning

89
00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:20,820
crew members

90
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,500
we'll start with calculating daily

91
00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:24,720
return options based off of the Space

92
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:26,820
Station's current orbit and dragon's

93
00:04:31,790 --> 00:04:29,340
capabilities to maneuver and line up for

94
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:31,800
re-entry the time from undocked to

95
00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:33,900
landing at the primary site can vary

96
00:04:39,650 --> 00:04:36,660
from less than six hours to more than 39

97
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:39,660
hours getting home the quickest comes

98
00:04:44,090 --> 00:04:41,820
with some obvious benefits but we always

99
00:04:46,909 --> 00:04:44,100
have to make sure that the crew if

100
00:04:49,070 --> 00:04:46,919
properly rested is properly rested for

101
00:04:51,790 --> 00:04:49,080
dynamic operations preventing us from

102
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:51,800
scheduling 20 plus hour days for them

103
00:04:56,090 --> 00:04:54,240
trajectory and ballistics experts

104
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:56,100
provide the daily opportunities that

105
00:05:00,110 --> 00:04:58,080
would line up dragon with seven Landing

106
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:00,120
zones and split them into what we call

107
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:03,780
ascending and descending opportunities

108
00:05:09,230 --> 00:05:06,600
Dragon uses its Draco thrusters after

109
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:09,240
leaving station to execute a series of

110
00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:11,400
altitude lowering Maneuvers and to line

111
00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:14,280
up with the selected primary site it can

112
00:05:18,830 --> 00:05:16,500
also change to different alternate sites

113
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:18,840
while in Free Flight if sudden weather

114
00:05:22,969 --> 00:05:21,840
moves in that we'll need to avoid and

115
00:05:24,890 --> 00:05:22,979
whether it's something that we're

116
00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:24,900
constantly looking at making the final

117
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:26,820
call to proceed about two and a half

118
00:05:31,249 --> 00:05:29,400
hours before the crew on docks so for

119
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:31,259
the crew 4 return we looked at a number

120
00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:33,300
of weather items some of the obvious

121
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,340
ones are no rain or chance of lightning

122
00:05:39,170 --> 00:05:37,680
in the recovery zone both for the safety

123
00:05:41,330 --> 00:05:39,180
of the crew inside the capsule and the

124
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:41,340
recovery teams on the water are also

125
00:05:45,890 --> 00:05:43,320
looking for wind speeds less than 15

126
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:45,900
feet per second or about 10 miles per

127
00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:49,020
hour and relatively calm seas so we can

128
00:05:53,689 --> 00:05:51,720
safely execute recovery operations which

129
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:53,699
includes Landing a helicopter on the

130
00:05:58,249 --> 00:05:56,100
recovery ship to fly Chell Bob Jessica

131
00:06:01,370 --> 00:05:58,259
and Samantha back to Florida

132
00:06:02,990 --> 00:06:01,380
once Dragon began flying free we had a

133
00:06:05,150 --> 00:06:03,000
number of additional checkpoints to

134
00:06:07,490 --> 00:06:05,160
either proceed towards the primary site

135
00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:07,500
head to the alternate or select a new

136
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:09,840
Zone based on real-time weather data

137
00:06:13,610 --> 00:06:12,000
these checks happened all the way up

138
00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:13,620
until we're in the final hours before

139
00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:16,500
the deorbit burn which is the last burn

140
00:06:20,810 --> 00:06:18,600
in the trip home and commits the Dragon

141
00:06:22,909 --> 00:06:20,820
capsule to re-entering biat the

142
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:22,919
atmosphere and as we've mentioned this

143
00:06:27,230 --> 00:06:25,440
burn is underway we are hearing good

144
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:27,240
calls that the burden is proceeding

145
00:06:31,249 --> 00:06:29,699
nominally or as expected which is great

146
00:06:33,710 --> 00:06:31,259
news

147
00:06:35,689 --> 00:06:33,720
I have your just now joining the deorbit

148
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:35,699
burn start just about six minutes ago

149
00:06:40,850 --> 00:06:38,280
it's about a 17 minute or just under 17

150
00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:40,860
minute burn uh and we are just waiting

151
00:06:45,890 --> 00:06:42,720
to hear the call out for when it's

152
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:45,900
complete for a normal burn uh and that's

153
00:06:52,129 --> 00:06:48,000
what will give us that confirmation for

154
00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:54,770
so we are six minutes into that burn as

155
00:06:58,129 --> 00:06:55,919
you said

156
00:07:01,610 --> 00:06:58,139
um it's about a 17 minute long burn so

157
00:07:03,770 --> 00:07:01,620
we're continuing to progress in that

158
00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:03,780
burn continuing to get good call outs

159
00:07:08,749 --> 00:07:06,600
that everything is going as expected

160
00:07:10,850 --> 00:07:08,759
and so during this the orbit burn this

161
00:07:13,730 --> 00:07:10,860
is the last time that those four forward

162
00:07:15,230 --> 00:07:13,740
uh Draco thrusters will fire um during

163
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,240
this mission

164
00:07:19,249 --> 00:07:17,280
so Freedom has not yet entered the

165
00:07:20,749 --> 00:07:19,259
Earth's atmosphere yet this the orbit

166
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:20,759
burn is really what will line the

167
00:07:25,370 --> 00:07:22,319
vehicle up and put it on its final

168
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:25,380
trajectory to The Landing site which of

169
00:07:50,210 --> 00:07:46,850
so the crew continues to

170
00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:50,220
um really head home after spending 170

171
00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:53,460
days in space during that time they

172
00:07:58,490 --> 00:07:55,759
completed 2000 and

173
00:08:02,390 --> 00:07:58,500
2720 orbits of the earth and they

174
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:02,400
traveled over 72 million miles it's

175
00:08:05,809 --> 00:08:04,080
really interesting to think about it in

176
00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:05,819
that perspective because the space

177
00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:08,699
station is moving 17 500 miles per hour

178
00:08:14,270 --> 00:08:11,580
which means that they orbit the Earth

179
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:14,280
every 90 minutes and the crew sees a

180
00:08:19,369 --> 00:08:16,800
Sunset and a sunrise every 45 minutes so

181
00:08:21,469 --> 00:08:19,379
when you're there for 170 days you see a

182
00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:21,479
lot of sunsets a lot of sunrises and you

183
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:24,840
travel a lot of miles over 72 million of

184
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:26,099
them in fact

185
00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:28,560
yeah that's a lot of miles and that

186
00:08:32,570 --> 00:08:29,940
sounds pretty cool to see all those

187
00:08:34,909 --> 00:08:32,580
sunsets and sunrises development of

188
00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:34,919
dragon for crew started with a cargo

189
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,620
dragon dragon was designed from the

190
00:08:41,570 --> 00:08:39,599
beginning for flying humans to space so

191
00:08:44,269 --> 00:08:41,580
much so that it even that even the first

192
00:08:46,010 --> 00:08:44,279
cargo Dragon had a window on it and

193
00:08:47,930 --> 00:08:46,020
before we could fly humans our teams

194
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:47,940
implemented a number of design upgrades

195
00:08:52,130 --> 00:08:49,800
to make sure that both dragon and Falcon

196
00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:52,140
9 are suitable for flying people and

197
00:08:56,449 --> 00:08:54,300
then put both vehicles through thousands

198
00:08:58,970 --> 00:08:56,459
of tests to prove their safety

199
00:09:01,130 --> 00:08:58,980
uh dragon is capable of carrying up to

200
00:09:03,650 --> 00:09:01,140
seven passengers to and from Earth orbit

201
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,660
and Beyond it is the only spacecraft

202
00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:05,519
currently flying that is capable of

203
00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:07,440
returning significant amounts of cargo

204
00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:09,839
to Earth and is the first private

205
00:09:13,790 --> 00:09:12,060
spacecraft to take humans to the

206
00:09:16,190 --> 00:09:13,800
International Space Station

207
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,200
is fully autonomous which means that it

208
00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,240
can basically fly itself but also

209
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,399
features a full manual override

210
00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:23,040
capabilities in case of emergency

211
00:09:27,710 --> 00:09:25,860
now standing at almost 27 feet tall from

212
00:09:29,930 --> 00:09:27,720
the bottom of the trunk to the top of

213
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:29,940
the nose cone dragon is composed of two

214
00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:32,160
main elements that's the capsule which

215
00:09:36,889 --> 00:09:34,380
is designed to hold crew and pressurized

216
00:09:39,290 --> 00:09:36,899
cargo and an unpressurized section known

217
00:09:41,630 --> 00:09:39,300
as the trunk and for today we have

218
00:09:44,090 --> 00:09:41,640
already jettisoned the trunk which

219
00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:44,100
reveals the heat shield on Dragon As It

220
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,350
and there you can see the 27 foot tall

221
00:09:55,610 --> 00:09:53,519
Dragon vehicle that top part there is

222
00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:55,620
called the capsule and below it with the

223
00:09:59,870 --> 00:09:57,360
black and white

224
00:10:01,970 --> 00:09:59,880
um colors there is the trunk the black

225
00:10:04,850 --> 00:10:01,980
portion of that are

226
00:10:07,009 --> 00:10:04,860
um solar arrays

227
00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:07,019
and you do also see that nose cone at

228
00:10:11,090 --> 00:10:09,420
the very top there um following this new

229
00:10:14,269 --> 00:10:11,100
orbit burn we will close up that nose

230
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:14,279
cone as we discussed but the nose cone

231
00:10:18,070 --> 00:10:15,959
does open for docking and remains

232
00:10:20,810 --> 00:10:18,080
attached to the crew Dragon spacecraft

233
00:10:23,210 --> 00:10:20,820
and then it will close here following

234
00:10:25,370 --> 00:10:23,220
the D orbit burn we are over halfway

235
00:10:27,290 --> 00:10:25,380
complete with the deorbit burn we have

236
00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:27,300
about seven minutes remaining continuing

237
00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:29,040
to hear good call outs everything

238
00:10:34,970 --> 00:10:31,320
proceeding as expected in this deorbit

239
00:10:40,610 --> 00:10:37,009
if you're just now joining us the

240
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:40,620
deorbit burn started around 101 p.m

241
00:10:45,170 --> 00:10:43,200
Pacific time it will last about 17

242
00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:45,180
minutes or just under 17 minutes and we

243
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:47,040
are just waiting to hear the call out

244
00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:50,880
for a normal burn uh that will confirm

245
00:10:55,310 --> 00:10:52,680
the completion of the deorbit burn for

246
00:10:57,530 --> 00:10:55,320
Dragon freedom

247
00:11:00,250 --> 00:10:57,540
and prior to this deorbit burn there was

248
00:11:03,410 --> 00:11:00,260
a series of other Burns that took place

249
00:11:05,329 --> 00:11:03,420
one of those occurred uh just a short

250
00:11:08,329 --> 00:11:05,339
time ago and that was the propellant

251
00:11:10,009 --> 00:11:08,339
wasting burn or prop wasting burn and

252
00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:10,019
that really is to just get rid of the

253
00:11:15,050 --> 00:11:12,360
excess propellant that is not needed for

254
00:11:16,389 --> 00:11:15,060
re-entry and it helps the capsule to

255
00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:16,399
weigh less

256
00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:26,150
and coming up after the deorbit burn

257
00:11:32,690 --> 00:11:29,279
about 12 to 13 minutes later we will

258
00:11:34,730 --> 00:11:32,700
begin to close the nose cone uh speaking

259
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:34,740
of you know dragon's previous design we

260
00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:36,839
used to jettison the nose cone but for

261
00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:39,180
reusability purposes we now keep the

262
00:11:44,569 --> 00:11:42,300
nose cone attached so once we finish the

263
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:44,579
final burn which is the orbit burn we no

264
00:11:48,350 --> 00:11:46,320
longer need to use those thrusters those

265
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:48,360
forward bulkhead thrusters so we can

266
00:11:54,650 --> 00:11:51,120
close the nose cone as it makes its way

267
00:11:59,150 --> 00:11:57,050
and following the completion of the

268
00:12:01,730 --> 00:11:59,160
deorbit burn and the nose cone closing

269
00:12:03,230 --> 00:12:01,740
the crew will then begin to re-enter the

270
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,240
Earth's atmosphere there will be a

271
00:12:07,790 --> 00:12:05,760
blackout period where we will not be

272
00:12:09,290 --> 00:12:07,800
able to communicate back and forth with

273
00:12:12,290 --> 00:12:09,300
them that does slash just a few minutes

274
00:12:13,970 --> 00:12:12,300
and that is completely expected that is

275
00:12:16,130 --> 00:12:13,980
happening because the plasma is building

276
00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:16,140
up around the vehicle but the heat

277
00:12:20,930 --> 00:12:18,420
shield will do its job and protect the

278
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:20,940
crew throughout that process and then

279
00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:22,800
once the crew has gotten to the other

280
00:12:26,269 --> 00:12:24,660
side of the atmosphere we should have

281
00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:26,279
communications back with them and then

282
00:12:31,130 --> 00:12:29,100
we will see the drogue parachutes deploy

283
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:31,140
then the main parachutes and then we'll

284
00:12:36,650 --> 00:12:33,120
see Splashdown just a short time after

285
00:12:38,509 --> 00:12:36,660
that really that's just about 40 minutes

286
00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:38,519
away from now we should see the the

287
00:12:42,650 --> 00:12:41,100
crews flashing down in the ocean so I'm

288
00:12:45,650 --> 00:12:42,660
excited for it I'm sure the crew's

289
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:45,660
excited for it but we are nearing the

290
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:48,060
end of this deorbit burn about five

291
00:13:08,449 --> 00:12:49,250
minutes remaining in it

292
00:13:13,970 --> 00:13:10,610
and so to talk a little bit about those

293
00:13:16,910 --> 00:13:13,980
parachutes that are going to deploy

294
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:16,920
the uh the drug parachutes slow the

295
00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:21,120
dragon uh down from 350 miles per hour

296
00:13:25,850 --> 00:13:22,740
um so that's still going pretty quick

297
00:13:27,889 --> 00:13:25,860
but then once the main parachutes deploy

298
00:13:40,009 --> 00:13:27,899
it will be it will slow down quite a bit

299
00:14:03,470 --> 00:13:42,110
just about four minutes remaining in the

300
00:14:09,170 --> 00:14:06,350
so after those parachutes are deployed

301
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:09,180
um we will see them be cut there's a

302
00:14:13,490 --> 00:14:11,040
fast boat that goes out there and that's

303
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:13,500
really the purpose of the fast um of

304
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:15,899
that particular fastboat is to cut those

305
00:14:19,550 --> 00:14:17,820
parachutes and that's really just to

306
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:19,560
make sure that they don't get caught in

307
00:14:25,069 --> 00:14:23,040
the wind or pulling the crew around so

308
00:14:29,449 --> 00:14:25,079
those parachutes will will be cut so

309
00:14:32,269 --> 00:14:29,459
that's expected and then after that uh a

310
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:32,279
sniff check will be done by one of the

311
00:14:38,030 --> 00:14:34,800
recovery folks um and that's just to

312
00:14:40,250 --> 00:14:38,040
ensure that there is no Vapors or

313
00:14:41,810 --> 00:14:40,260
anything that would pose a risk to the

314
00:14:54,290 --> 00:14:41,820
recovery Personnel or the crew

315
00:15:00,350 --> 00:14:57,230
we are just a couple minutes away from

316
00:15:03,230 --> 00:15:00,360
the completion of the deorbit burn we

317
00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:03,240
are just waiting for a call out

318
00:15:26,810 --> 00:15:24,290
about two minutes left in this deorbit

319
00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:26,820
burn and next up after the diorbit burn

320
00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:28,980
will be the nose cone closing it's very

321
00:15:32,930 --> 00:15:30,959
important to close that nose cone

322
00:15:34,430 --> 00:15:32,940
because it protects the docking

323
00:15:42,350 --> 00:15:34,440
mechanism and some guidance and

324
00:15:46,670 --> 00:15:44,810
and so at this point the heat shield is

325
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:46,680
now pointed towards the Earth and is

326
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:48,720
really getting ready to do the heavy

327
00:15:53,389 --> 00:15:51,660
lifting of protecting the capsule and of

328
00:15:57,230 --> 00:15:53,399
course more importantly the crew inside

329
00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:57,240
from the over 3500 degree Fahrenheit

330
00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,519
that's going to be exposed to as the

331
00:16:04,189 --> 00:16:01,920
Dragon capsule enters the Earth as part

332
00:16:05,689 --> 00:16:04,199
of their recovery operations so that

333
00:16:07,970 --> 00:16:05,699
will be coming up here shortly we have

334
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:07,980
just about a minute remaining in today's

335
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:39,970
foreign

336
00:16:52,810 --> 00:16:43,009
to hear good call outs that the deorbit

337
00:16:57,290 --> 00:16:54,850
foreign

338
00:16:59,449 --> 00:16:57,300
systems are looking good and of course

339
00:17:02,990 --> 00:16:59,459
the crew is monitoring every step of the

340
00:17:05,630 --> 00:17:03,000
way checking in they do have iPads as

341
00:17:08,449 --> 00:17:05,640
well as the screens that they are able

342
00:17:11,630 --> 00:17:08,459
to utilize and and look on the tablet as

343
00:17:13,789 --> 00:17:11,640
to how much time is remaining on the

344
00:17:15,710 --> 00:17:13,799
deorbit burn

345
00:17:21,949 --> 00:17:15,720
and we did just hear the deorbit Burn is

346
00:17:27,289 --> 00:17:24,829
Freedom SpaceX do you ever burn complete

347
00:17:31,090 --> 00:17:27,299
performance nominal nose cone closure is

348
00:17:43,549 --> 00:17:34,970
copies nominals I'm here and uh nose

349
00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:46,909
awesome news nominal D orbit burn and

350
00:17:56,029 --> 00:17:49,679
also heard the call out that the nose

351
00:18:00,710 --> 00:17:58,370
so in the background dragon is currently

352
00:18:02,570 --> 00:18:00,720
inhibiting those forward bulkhead Draco

353
00:18:04,970 --> 00:18:02,580
thrusters that we just used to complete

354
00:18:07,010 --> 00:18:04,980
the orbit burn ensuring it's safe to

355
00:18:09,470 --> 00:18:07,020
latch the nose cone shut for re-entry

356
00:18:12,289 --> 00:18:09,480
also the vehicle has initiated the

357
00:18:14,990 --> 00:18:12,299
nitrox suit Purge this will help keep

358
00:18:17,390 --> 00:18:15,000
Chell Bob Jessica and Samantha cool and

359
00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:17,400
comfortable during re-entry and you do

360
00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:19,260
see that nose cone beginning to close

361
00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:25,250
at this point that nose cone is closing

362
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:27,240
and protecting the forward hatch for

363
00:18:32,029 --> 00:18:30,240
re-entry Chell Bob Jessica and Samantha

364
00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:32,039
are using their screens as we mentioned

365
00:18:46,370 --> 00:18:34,440
to monitor the Locking of the nose cone

366
00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:49,430
again this nose cone sequence is about

367
00:18:55,909 --> 00:18:53,580
12 to 13 minutes long so we've got about

368
00:19:01,850 --> 00:18:55,919
11 minutes left for that nose cone to

369
00:19:01,860 --> 00:19:11,810
and good callouts

370
00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:14,029
so now we're really just in a waiting

371
00:19:18,830 --> 00:19:16,080
period right now before we begin that

372
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:18,840
re-entry period that's coming up in just

373
00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:20,880
a few minutes when the crew themselves

374
00:19:26,810 --> 00:19:24,299
will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and

375
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:26,820
as we discussed earlier the heat shield

376
00:19:30,529 --> 00:19:28,320
will really

377
00:19:34,190 --> 00:19:30,539
be protecting the crew during this time

378
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:34,200
period the temperatures can reach 3500

379
00:19:39,409 --> 00:19:36,419
degrees Fahrenheit but the heat shield

380
00:19:42,590 --> 00:19:39,419
was created to protect the crew during

381
00:19:44,690 --> 00:19:42,600
this Dynamic operation and as they enter

382
00:19:47,150 --> 00:19:44,700
through the atmosphere it's really going

383
00:19:50,029 --> 00:19:47,160
to slow them down right now they're

384
00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:50,039
going a little more than 17 000 miles

385
00:19:54,770 --> 00:19:52,260
per hour but as they re-enter the

386
00:19:56,510 --> 00:19:54,780
Earth's atmosphere once they come out on

387
00:19:59,029 --> 00:19:56,520
the other side they'll be going much

388
00:20:01,730 --> 00:19:59,039
slower and then the parachutes will just

389
00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:01,740
continue to slow them down from 350

390
00:20:06,350 --> 00:20:04,140
miles per hour to a little less than 20

391
00:20:09,169 --> 00:20:06,360
at the time that they splash down

392
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:09,179
and also during re-entry uh there will

393
00:20:13,549 --> 00:20:11,220
be a period where you know that heat

394
00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:13,559
builds up around the capsule there'll be

395
00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:15,240
plasma that builds up around the capsule

396
00:20:20,330 --> 00:20:17,940
so there will be a blackout Zone which

397
00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:20,340
is normal uh lasts about about six

398
00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:22,080
minutes long

399
00:20:25,490 --> 00:20:23,520
um and then once we get through that

400
00:20:27,650 --> 00:20:25,500
blackout Zone then we'll

401
00:20:29,690 --> 00:20:27,660
um confirm confirmation

402
00:20:31,549 --> 00:20:29,700
we'll confirm confirmation with the crew

403
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:31,559
to make sure that

404
00:20:56,510 --> 00:20:35,340
um can communicate with the ground here

405
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:26,710
foreign

406
00:21:32,690 --> 00:21:29,690
to progress through the nose cone

407
00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:32,700
closure process at this time the hooks

408
00:21:39,770 --> 00:21:36,840
are closing there are two sets of six

409
00:21:41,630 --> 00:21:39,780
hooks so 12 hooks total that need to

410
00:22:38,210 --> 00:21:41,640
close to secure the nose cone and

411
00:22:42,590 --> 00:22:40,430
so we are getting a view on the left

412
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:42,600
hand of your screen of Mission Control

413
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:46,500
in Houston at Texas that is where our

414
00:22:49,850 --> 00:22:48,000
flight controllers and the flight

415
00:22:53,149 --> 00:22:49,860
director monitor under the International

416
00:22:54,830 --> 00:22:53,159
Space Station 24 hours a day seven days

417
00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:54,840
a week we have a variety of different

418
00:22:59,450 --> 00:22:58,080
console positions that specialize in

419
00:23:02,149 --> 00:22:59,460
different parts of the International

420
00:23:04,130 --> 00:23:02,159
Space Station and they all work together

421
00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:04,140
as a team to keep the space station

422
00:23:09,529 --> 00:23:07,200
flying it's now been flying for over 20

423
00:23:12,409 --> 00:23:09,539
excuse me it's now been it's been

424
00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:12,419
continuously occupied now for over 20

425
00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:14,400
years and onboard the International

426
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:17,340
Space Station right now are seven human

427
00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:20,360
beings of course crew five that just

428
00:23:26,690 --> 00:23:24,360
arrived last week as well as two Russian

429
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:26,700
cosmonauts and NASA astronaut Frank

430
00:23:33,470 --> 00:23:30,720
Rubio who arrived on a soyuz vehicle but

431
00:23:36,350 --> 00:23:33,480
with crew for departing earlier today it

432
00:23:38,570 --> 00:23:36,360
brought the population from 11 crew

433
00:23:43,010 --> 00:23:38,580
members down to seven and that will be

434
00:23:44,570 --> 00:23:43,020
the compliment for the next few months

435
00:23:47,450 --> 00:23:44,580
and we've been keeping the International

436
00:23:49,850 --> 00:23:47,460
Space Station pretty busy with NASA crew

437
00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:49,860
flights being about every six months so

438
00:23:54,110 --> 00:23:52,320
it's been pretty cool to to see

439
00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:54,120
um you know a different group of

440
00:23:58,730 --> 00:23:56,640
astronauts every six months being able

441
00:24:00,890 --> 00:23:58,740
to you know perform research and science

442
00:24:02,810 --> 00:24:00,900
on the International Space Station

443
00:24:05,270 --> 00:24:02,820
and that's a really great point the

444
00:24:08,690 --> 00:24:05,280
International Space Station truly is an

445
00:24:10,909 --> 00:24:08,700
orbiting laboratory crew 4 contributed

446
00:24:11,810 --> 00:24:10,919
to hundreds of science experiments while

447
00:24:15,409 --> 00:24:11,820
they were on board the International

448
00:24:17,090 --> 00:24:15,419
Space Station crew 5 will continue some

449
00:24:19,789 --> 00:24:17,100
of those science investigations as well

450
00:24:21,289 --> 00:24:19,799
as start new ones and what I love so

451
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:21,299
much about it is many of those science

452
00:24:26,029 --> 00:24:23,760
investigations have direct implications

453
00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:26,039
to us here on Earth if you are

454
00:24:29,149 --> 00:24:27,360
interested in learning more about that

455
00:24:31,789 --> 00:24:29,159
you can check out the benefits for

456
00:24:33,649 --> 00:24:31,799
Humanity the 2020 version was just

457
00:24:43,490 --> 00:24:33,659
published here recently and you can find

458
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:51,169
foreign

459
00:24:55,789 --> 00:24:53,630
so if you are just tuning in with us

460
00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:55,799
crew 5 has undocked from the

461
00:25:02,390 --> 00:24:58,320
International Space Station and the

462
00:25:06,169 --> 00:25:02,400
deorbit burn has taken place that was

463
00:25:22,970 --> 00:25:06,179
all successful and freedom SpaceX that

464
00:25:27,950 --> 00:25:25,909
we got some great news the nose cone

465
00:25:30,890 --> 00:25:27,960
sequence is complete meaning that the

466
00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:30,900
nose cone is now officially closed as we

467
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:33,120
begin the second half of Entry dragon is

468
00:25:38,450 --> 00:25:35,520
now beginning to inject cold nitrox into

469
00:25:40,909 --> 00:25:38,460
the air being delivered to the suits

470
00:25:42,769 --> 00:25:40,919
worn by Chell Bob Jessica and Samantha

471
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:42,779
now again this is what will allow the

472
00:25:47,810 --> 00:25:44,520
crew to remain comfortable while

473
00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:47,820
external temperatures reach 3 500 degree

474
00:25:52,549 --> 00:25:50,400
degrees Fahrenheit now the heat shield

475
00:25:54,649 --> 00:25:52,559
is pointing forward leading the capsule

476
00:25:56,870 --> 00:25:54,659
to The Landing site

477
00:25:58,909 --> 00:25:56,880
and speaking of the heat shield dragon's

478
00:26:01,370 --> 00:25:58,919
primary heat shield is comprised of Pika

479
00:26:04,850 --> 00:26:01,380
3.0 which stands for phenolic

480
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:04,860
impregnated carbon ablator first

481
00:26:09,409 --> 00:26:07,200
generation Pika was first developed by

482
00:26:11,810 --> 00:26:09,419
NASA for studying and sampling comets

483
00:26:14,390 --> 00:26:11,820
within our solar system

484
00:26:16,730 --> 00:26:14,400
and SpaceX partnered with NASA to

485
00:26:19,970 --> 00:26:16,740
develop Pika X which was the second

486
00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:19,980
generation product used on all Dragon 1

487
00:26:24,110 --> 00:26:21,900
CRS missions that successfully

488
00:26:27,769 --> 00:26:24,120
resupplied the space station on 20

489
00:26:30,830 --> 00:26:27,779
missions then Pika 3.0 was developed

490
00:26:33,289 --> 00:26:30,840
specifically for use on Dragon 2 crew

491
00:26:35,570 --> 00:26:33,299
and cargo with enhanced structural and

492
00:26:37,490 --> 00:26:35,580
thermal properties that optimize the

493
00:26:38,450 --> 00:26:37,500
heat shield and drove down costs and

494
00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,460
Mass

495
00:26:42,590 --> 00:26:40,799
the remainder of the Dragon capsule is

496
00:26:45,890 --> 00:26:42,600
comprised primarily of a SpaceX

497
00:26:47,570 --> 00:26:45,900
proprietary ablative material it's

498
00:26:50,210 --> 00:26:47,580
another class of thermal protection

499
00:26:52,310 --> 00:26:50,220
which is lighter weight versus Pica and

500
00:26:54,769 --> 00:26:52,320
protects the underlying composite

501
00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:54,779
material or structure during re-entry to

502
00:26:57,890 --> 00:26:56,760
ensure these structural capabilities are

503
00:26:59,630 --> 00:26:57,900
maintained

504
00:27:01,909 --> 00:26:59,640
and wall Dragon will experience

505
00:27:04,010 --> 00:27:01,919
temperatures well over 3000 degrees

506
00:27:06,590 --> 00:27:04,020
Fahrenheit during Peak re-entry

507
00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:06,600
conditions the characteristics of the

508
00:27:11,870 --> 00:27:09,120
TPS or thermal Protection Systems

509
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:11,880
coupled with the Equus environmental

510
00:27:17,149 --> 00:27:14,520
Cooling and life support system in the

511
00:27:19,370 --> 00:27:17,159
pressurized interior interior will help

512
00:27:20,990 --> 00:27:19,380
ensure that Chell Bob Jessica and

513
00:27:23,570 --> 00:27:21,000
Samantha stay cool and comfortable

514
00:27:27,110 --> 00:27:23,580
during All Phases of re-entry through

515
00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:29,570
now after crew Dragon Freedom has

516
00:27:33,710 --> 00:27:31,679
re-entered the Earth's atmosphere a

517
00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:33,720
series of parachutes will deploy and

518
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:36,720
that'll slow the crew's descent

519
00:27:40,430 --> 00:27:38,640
first will be the two drogue shoots

520
00:27:42,529 --> 00:27:40,440
followed by the four main shoots to

521
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:42,539
guide dragon to its first contact with

522
00:27:46,610 --> 00:27:44,640
Earth since launching in April earlier

523
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:46,620
this year Dragon will automatically

524
00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:48,720
deployed these parachutes when different

525
00:27:52,970 --> 00:27:50,760
pressure and positioning sensors on the

526
00:27:55,250 --> 00:27:52,980
capsule detect that they are at the

527
00:27:58,130 --> 00:27:55,260
right speed and altitude

528
00:28:01,250 --> 00:27:58,140
vehicle velocity at drogue deploy is

529
00:28:03,669 --> 00:28:01,260
approximately 350 miles per hour as we

530
00:28:06,470 --> 00:28:03,679
mentioned earlier and those drogue

531
00:28:08,090 --> 00:28:06,480
parachutes do deploy at about 18 000

532
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:08,100
feet above the water

533
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:10,799
now vehicle velocity at Main deploy is

534
00:28:16,909 --> 00:28:13,620
approximately 119 miles per hour and

535
00:28:19,310 --> 00:28:16,919
deploy at about 6 500 feet

536
00:28:22,669 --> 00:28:19,320
vehicle velocity at Water Splashdown is

537
00:28:24,409 --> 00:28:22,679
approximately 16 miles per hour and the

538
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:24,419
highest G load the crew will experience

539
00:28:31,490 --> 00:28:26,880
during re-entry is approximately three

540
00:28:37,610 --> 00:28:35,090
so next up we are looking ahead towards

541
00:28:40,490 --> 00:28:37,620
the comms blackout that we discussed as

542
00:28:43,549 --> 00:28:40,500
the crew re-enters the atmosphere this

543
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:43,559
is expected and can last a few minutes

544
00:28:50,450 --> 00:28:46,740
long but once the crew is on the other

545
00:28:51,529 --> 00:28:50,460
side of the comms blockout and we do

546
00:28:54,289 --> 00:28:51,539
regain

547
00:28:56,450 --> 00:28:54,299
um Communications with them uh the

548
00:28:59,630 --> 00:28:56,460
drogue shoots will deploy we are

549
00:29:01,490 --> 00:28:59,640
tracking the that first set of uh drugs

550
00:29:05,690 --> 00:29:01,500
the first set of parachutes the drug

551
00:29:07,850 --> 00:29:05,700
shoots to deploy around 1 51 pm

552
00:29:09,890 --> 00:29:07,860
just a minute later the main shoots will

553
00:29:11,690 --> 00:29:09,900
deploy and then about three minutes

554
00:29:14,450 --> 00:29:11,700
after that the moment we've all been

555
00:29:15,950 --> 00:29:14,460
waiting for we'll see crew for splash

556
00:29:18,230 --> 00:29:15,960
down off the coast of Jacksonville

557
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:18,240
Florida we are still tracking

558
00:29:38,630 --> 00:29:21,600
approximately 1 55 PM Pacific time today

559
00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:41,149
and so at this time all of the recovery

560
00:29:46,010 --> 00:29:44,640
teams are in place those fast boats that

561
00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:46,020
we were talking about earlier have

562
00:29:51,230 --> 00:29:48,000
deployed and we really are getting ready

563
00:29:53,690 --> 00:29:51,240
to bring this crew home everything has

564
00:29:56,690 --> 00:29:53,700
proceeded as expected with the deorbit

565
00:29:58,430 --> 00:29:56,700
burn the nose cone is now deployed and

566
00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:58,440
the next big milestone that we're

567
00:30:12,889 --> 00:30:00,240
looking towards is that Communications

568
00:30:18,169 --> 00:30:15,110
again we have an awesome live view

569
00:30:20,990 --> 00:30:18,179
inside of the Dragon capsule seeing our

570
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:21,000
crew and again we've mentioned this that

571
00:30:25,370 --> 00:30:24,000
they use the displays to monitor the

572
00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:25,380
activities that are happening with

573
00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:28,260
dragon but dragon is flying autonomously

574
00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:30,480
so they really just get to sit back and

575
00:30:36,000 --> 00:31:00,169
foreign

576
00:31:04,610 --> 00:31:02,330
so we did mention that we are looking

577
00:31:06,769 --> 00:31:04,620
towards entering a period where we will

578
00:31:09,169 --> 00:31:06,779
have a Communications blackout with the

579
00:31:11,029 --> 00:31:09,179
crew that is because of the plasma

580
00:31:13,669 --> 00:31:11,039
that's building up um because we're

581
00:31:16,970 --> 00:31:13,679
using the atmosphere itself to help slow

582
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:16,980
us down we're going about 17 000 miles

583
00:31:21,470 --> 00:31:19,679
an hour and we do need to slow the crew

584
00:31:24,110 --> 00:31:21,480
down before they re-enter the Earth

585
00:31:26,570 --> 00:31:24,120
before they splash down and as they

586
00:31:28,909 --> 00:31:26,580
re-enter the Earth's atmosphere that

587
00:31:32,210 --> 00:31:28,919
will definitely happen they'll

588
00:31:33,769 --> 00:31:32,220
be going about 350 miles per hour once

589
00:31:36,049 --> 00:31:33,779
they enter the other side of the

590
00:31:38,330 --> 00:31:36,059
atmosphere and as we said they'll be

591
00:31:42,649 --> 00:31:38,340
going less than 20 miles per hour at the

592
00:31:42,659 --> 00:31:54,950
Freedom SpaceX for entry briefing

593
00:32:01,250 --> 00:31:57,950
Rachel I have no Deltas from the

594
00:32:03,110 --> 00:32:01,260
previously briefed tablet timeline

595
00:32:05,269 --> 00:32:03,120
Dragon systems are looking healthy and

596
00:32:07,190 --> 00:32:05,279
ready for entry and we have no updates

597
00:32:08,389 --> 00:32:07,200
for Splashdown the recovery team is

598
00:32:12,289 --> 00:32:08,399
ready to support and weather's looking

599
00:32:16,669 --> 00:32:14,210
can you copy all Arthur we're looking

600
00:32:31,970 --> 00:32:16,679
forward to splash down and and seeing

601
00:32:36,529 --> 00:32:34,370
crew there chatting with the corps here

602
00:32:41,930 --> 00:32:36,539
in Mission Control Hawthorne that's what

603
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:44,450
we did get to see a live view of the

604
00:32:48,110 --> 00:32:46,140
crew in their seats in the Dragon

605
00:32:50,810 --> 00:32:48,120
capsule as they're making their way back

606
00:32:52,549 --> 00:32:50,820
home the suit's primary function is to

607
00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:52,559
protect the crew in the event of a

608
00:32:56,870 --> 00:32:55,440
dabbing cabin depressurization and if

609
00:32:59,029 --> 00:32:56,880
that were to occur the suit would

610
00:33:00,889 --> 00:32:59,039
inflate to provide a habitable

611
00:33:04,010 --> 00:33:00,899
environment long enough for the crew to

612
00:33:06,889 --> 00:33:04,020
return home there you can see them there

613
00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:06,899
right now they are also filling their

614
00:33:11,210 --> 00:33:09,120
suits with some cool night rocks that

615
00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:11,220
actually helps keep them cool the suits

616
00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:13,260
are kind of an extension of the Dragon

617
00:33:18,409 --> 00:33:15,840
capsule it's almost like they have their

618
00:33:19,970 --> 00:33:18,419
own personal AC unit

619
00:33:22,009 --> 00:33:19,980
on them

620
00:33:24,590 --> 00:33:22,019
and the suits are flame resistant

621
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:24,600
materials on the outer layer also

622
00:33:30,529 --> 00:33:28,320
protects the crew in the event of a fire

623
00:33:32,750 --> 00:33:30,539
they are custom tailored single piece

624
00:33:35,389 --> 00:33:32,760
suits this means that the helmet gloves

625
00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:35,399
and boots all remain attached together

626
00:33:39,769 --> 00:33:37,440
and the helmet that we were able to see

627
00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:39,779
on the screen that they're wearing is 3D

628
00:33:47,690 --> 00:33:42,960
printed nylon and does have a visor that

629
00:33:53,269 --> 00:33:50,029
and they do have quick disconnects or

630
00:33:56,509 --> 00:33:53,279
cuties on the right thigh which mates to

631
00:33:58,250 --> 00:33:56,519
an umbilical on the seats and that is

632
00:34:00,889 --> 00:33:58,260
what provides the air for ventilation

633
00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:00,899
oxygen nitrox for pressurization and

634
00:34:09,409 --> 00:34:02,640
allows the electronics to be connected

635
00:34:09,419 --> 00:34:13,869
foreign

636
00:34:21,589 --> 00:34:17,089
if you're just now joining us we are

637
00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:21,599
live watching crew 4 return home to

638
00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:23,040
planet Earth from the International

639
00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:26,040
Space Station we've had the deorbit burn

640
00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:28,800
we've jettisoned the trunk or the

641
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:29,760
vehicle

642
00:34:35,510 --> 00:34:33,540
and the nose cone has closed on Dragon

643
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:35,520
freedom and again another live view

644
00:34:39,589 --> 00:34:37,260
inside of the capsule there okay in

645
00:34:41,030 --> 00:34:39,599
SpaceX from Freedom tablets the secure

646
00:34:49,450 --> 00:34:41,040
restraints are tightened and our visors

647
00:34:55,849 --> 00:34:52,730
space has copies for tablets restraints

648
00:34:58,910 --> 00:34:55,859
and visors please confirm that tablets

649
00:35:14,150 --> 00:34:58,920
are stowed with the loops as provided on

650
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:16,790
so we are now less than 20 minutes away

651
00:35:22,430 --> 00:35:20,640
from Splashdown and again we are going

652
00:35:25,130 --> 00:35:22,440
to be entering that blackout

653
00:35:26,870 --> 00:35:25,140
communication period but once we are on

654
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:26,880
the other side of that things will

655
00:35:30,770 --> 00:35:29,220
happen pretty quickly that drug shoots

656
00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:30,780
will deploy

657
00:35:41,569 --> 00:35:39,829
SpaceX copies thank you freedom and at

658
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:41,579
this time we're just over five minutes

659
00:35:51,170 --> 00:35:44,400
from predicted com blackout we will see

660
00:35:54,410 --> 00:35:52,490
okay cop

661
00:35:56,510 --> 00:35:54,420
s from uh hello West and what's the

662
00:36:03,890 --> 00:35:56,520
other flip side

663
00:36:09,349 --> 00:36:06,470
and so you did hear those words from the

664
00:36:12,349 --> 00:36:09,359
ground up to a crew 4 namely Chell

665
00:36:15,109 --> 00:36:12,359
lingrin just ensuring that the tablets

666
00:36:18,490 --> 00:36:15,119
are stowed and secured in the proper

667
00:36:21,290 --> 00:36:18,500
positioning ahead of the communications

668
00:36:23,450 --> 00:36:21,300
blackout expected now less than five

669
00:36:26,870 --> 00:36:23,460
minutes from now and really in

670
00:36:30,710 --> 00:36:26,880
anticipation of re-entry and then splash

671
00:36:32,329 --> 00:36:30,720
down as we were saying the pace is

672
00:36:34,670 --> 00:36:32,339
really going to pick up once we are

673
00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:34,680
through that Communications blackout the

674
00:36:39,290 --> 00:36:36,720
drogue parachutes will deploy and then

675
00:36:41,870 --> 00:36:39,300
the main parachutes will deploy and then

676
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:41,880
we will see the crew splash down after

677
00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:44,160
that we'll see the fast boats head out

678
00:36:48,170 --> 00:36:46,260
to the crew inspect it make sure

679
00:36:50,210 --> 00:36:48,180
everything is looking good and the

680
00:36:53,230 --> 00:36:50,220
Integrity of the vehicle is as it should

681
00:36:56,990 --> 00:36:53,240
be and those main parachutes will also

682
00:36:59,750 --> 00:36:57,000
be cut and then the recovery Personnel

683
00:37:02,870 --> 00:36:59,760
will work on securing the vehicle and

684
00:37:06,410 --> 00:37:02,880
bringing it into the recovery vessel and

685
00:37:08,569 --> 00:37:06,420
then after some private medical checks

686
00:37:11,569 --> 00:37:08,579
with the crew we should see the crew

687
00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:11,579
egress a short time after that so again

688
00:37:18,650 --> 00:37:15,119
we are expecting the Splashdown to occur

689
00:37:21,410 --> 00:37:18,660
at 155 Pacific time so just a few

690
00:37:23,690 --> 00:37:21,420
minutes from now and we are coming up on

691
00:37:26,690 --> 00:37:23,700
that Communications blackout that as

692
00:37:28,910 --> 00:37:26,700
that is as expected as well

693
00:37:31,010 --> 00:37:28,920
and this blackout period is basically

694
00:37:33,230 --> 00:37:31,020
when the vehicle is entering back into

695
00:37:35,210 --> 00:37:33,240
the Earth's atmosphere it is heating up

696
00:37:37,310 --> 00:37:35,220
and plasma is building around the

697
00:37:41,270 --> 00:37:37,320
capsule which prevents Communications

698
00:37:44,210 --> 00:37:41,280
with here in Mission Control lasts about

699
00:37:45,950 --> 00:37:44,220
six minutes it is nominal uh and once we

700
00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:45,960
get through that blackout period we do

701
00:37:51,530 --> 00:37:48,960
uh make sure that the crew can

702
00:37:53,810 --> 00:37:51,540
communicate with the ground here in

703
00:37:57,250 --> 00:37:53,820
Mission Control

704
00:38:00,050 --> 00:37:57,260
and we do have um the NASA plane the

705
00:38:02,210 --> 00:38:00,060
wb57 which is up in the air and it's

706
00:38:04,790 --> 00:38:02,220
equipped with some imaging technology

707
00:38:07,069 --> 00:38:04,800
that will be able to get pretty much the

708
00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:07,079
first views of the Dragon capsule on its

709
00:38:12,170 --> 00:38:09,359
return back to Earth so we are getting

710
00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:12,180
some of that footage right now

711
00:38:15,650 --> 00:38:12,960
um

712
00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:15,660
we are anticipating that Communications

713
00:38:20,329 --> 00:38:18,240
blackout and loss of signal here shortly

714
00:38:23,450 --> 00:38:20,339
this is really the beginning of that

715
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:23,460
period where the crew themselves will be

716
00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:25,730
re-entering the Earth's atmosphere

717
00:38:50,690 --> 00:38:47,630
and at this time the dragon is working

718
00:38:52,790 --> 00:38:50,700
through a slewing maneuver which means

719
00:38:56,210 --> 00:38:52,800
that the dragon is helping to orient

720
00:38:57,950 --> 00:38:56,220
itself in the proper orientation ahead

721
00:38:59,930 --> 00:38:57,960
of the re-entry of the Earth's

722
00:39:01,790 --> 00:38:59,940
atmosphere again we're just a couple of

723
00:39:38,870 --> 00:39:01,800
minutes away from that anticipated

724
00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:41,030
we are just about a minute away from

725
00:39:44,930 --> 00:39:43,260
that Communications blackout period

726
00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:44,940
again it should last only about six

727
00:39:50,270 --> 00:39:47,280
minutes long and this is what happens

728
00:39:52,190 --> 00:39:50,280
when uh the vehicles begins to heat up

729
00:39:54,410 --> 00:39:52,200
as it's entering back into the Earth's

730
00:39:56,930 --> 00:39:54,420
atmosphere and builds up a layer of

731
00:39:58,370 --> 00:39:56,940
plasma around the vehicle again this is

732
00:40:01,430 --> 00:39:58,380
nominal

733
00:40:17,510 --> 00:40:01,440
um and we will establish Communications

734
00:40:22,069 --> 00:40:19,730
so we are hearing that the dragon is

735
00:40:24,230 --> 00:40:22,079
beginning to hit um the Earth's

736
00:40:26,810 --> 00:40:24,240
atmosphere here really at the upper

737
00:40:28,730 --> 00:40:26,820
limits of the atmosphere so that's going

738
00:40:31,609 --> 00:40:28,740
to help to slow the vehicle down quite a

739
00:41:00,950 --> 00:40:31,619
bit but we are now seconds away from the

740
00:41:22,609 --> 00:41:03,290
standing by for confirmation that we are

741
00:41:27,670 --> 00:41:25,010
and as we await that confirmation you

742
00:41:30,710 --> 00:41:27,680
can see the crowd is starting to grow

743
00:41:32,510 --> 00:41:30,720
here in Hawthorne behind the mission

744
00:41:34,790 --> 00:41:32,520
control center here

745
00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:34,800
looks like folks are trying to get a

746
00:41:41,390 --> 00:41:37,280
good view as we anticipate splash down

747
00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:41,400
here and a little less than 15 minutes

748
00:41:46,069 --> 00:41:43,920
and we do get pretty excited when we are

749
00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:46,079
bringing crew back home it is pretty

750
00:41:50,690 --> 00:41:48,180
exciting to watch them as they touch

751
00:42:01,010 --> 00:41:50,700
back down on planet Earth we've been out

752
00:42:05,630 --> 00:42:03,349
again we are currently in the comms

753
00:42:09,170 --> 00:42:05,640
blackout period this is nominal last

754
00:42:11,930 --> 00:42:09,180
about six minutes uh we are just

755
00:42:54,890 --> 00:42:11,940
a few minutes away from passing through

756
00:43:02,809 --> 00:42:56,630
thank you

757
00:43:06,890 --> 00:43:05,089
at this point we are entering a

758
00:43:08,930 --> 00:43:06,900
Communications blackout period which

759
00:43:11,630 --> 00:43:08,940
lasts approximately six minutes due to

760
00:43:13,250 --> 00:43:11,640
plasma formation around the spacecraft

761
00:43:15,530 --> 00:43:13,260
now during this time no vehicle

762
00:43:17,809 --> 00:43:15,540
Telemetry is received by Machine control

763
00:43:19,910 --> 00:43:17,819
or the recovery team and no external

764
00:43:22,609 --> 00:43:19,920
commanding of the vehicle or voice

765
00:43:24,410 --> 00:43:22,619
communication is possible now as a

766
00:43:26,690 --> 00:43:24,420
reminder dragon is designed to fly

767
00:43:28,790 --> 00:43:26,700
itself so during re-entry the vehicle

768
00:43:32,150 --> 00:43:28,800
will be slowing down from orbital

769
00:43:33,710 --> 00:43:32,160
velocity which is approximately 17 500

770
00:43:36,530 --> 00:43:33,720
miles per hour

771
00:43:40,030 --> 00:43:36,540
now the top temperature Dragon will

772
00:43:43,370 --> 00:43:40,040
experience upon re-entry is about three

773
00:43:45,230 --> 00:43:43,380
3500 degrees Fahrenheit

774
00:43:48,170 --> 00:43:45,240
and again the blackout period is

775
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:48,180
expected to last about six maybe up to

776
00:43:56,930 --> 00:43:54,710
and we are just about four minutes

777
00:43:59,510 --> 00:43:56,940
remaining in this anticipated

778
00:44:02,809 --> 00:43:59,520
Communications blackout period and

779
00:44:05,410 --> 00:44:02,819
during this re-entry phase the team

780
00:44:09,470 --> 00:44:05,420
um the crew rather is going to be

781
00:44:11,390 --> 00:44:09,480
experiencing a deceleration and the team

782
00:44:13,190 --> 00:44:11,400
here on the ground is going to continue

783
00:44:15,650 --> 00:44:13,200
to monitor that make sure that

784
00:44:17,329 --> 00:44:15,660
everything is proceeding as expected but

785
00:44:19,010 --> 00:44:17,339
once we're on the other side of this

786
00:44:21,290 --> 00:44:19,020
Communications blackout that's when

787
00:44:23,329 --> 00:44:21,300
we'll begin to see the parachutes deploy

788
00:44:25,849 --> 00:44:23,339
beginning with the drove parachutes and

789
00:44:28,130 --> 00:44:25,859
then following with the main parachutes

790
00:44:30,770 --> 00:44:28,140
and then we'll see Splashdown and then

791
00:44:33,230 --> 00:44:30,780
the recovery process to get the crew

792
00:44:35,630 --> 00:44:33,240
onto the recovery vessel and then out of

793
00:44:37,609 --> 00:44:35,640
the capsule we'll begin

794
00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:37,619
and we did mention the high temperatures

795
00:44:42,589 --> 00:44:39,900
that the vehicle is seeing during this

796
00:44:44,569 --> 00:44:42,599
blackout period so there is nitrox

797
00:44:46,309 --> 00:44:44,579
flowing through the suits that the

798
00:44:48,589 --> 00:44:46,319
astronauts are

799
00:44:51,650 --> 00:44:48,599
um in and that helps keep them cool

800
00:45:00,230 --> 00:44:51,660
while the vehicle is getting very hot on

801
00:45:06,890 --> 00:45:02,990
so we are getting our very first views

802
00:45:10,010 --> 00:45:06,900
there from the wb57 of the capsule as it

803
00:45:12,109 --> 00:45:10,020
re-enters the Earth's atmosphere those

804
00:45:35,809 --> 00:45:12,119
views coming from an infrared camera

805
00:45:40,849 --> 00:45:38,150
and so the team will continue to track

806
00:45:43,069 --> 00:45:40,859
dragon as it re-enters the Earth's

807
00:45:45,349 --> 00:45:43,079
atmosphere I now have about three

808
00:45:48,890 --> 00:45:45,359
minutes remaining in the blackout period

809
00:45:53,390 --> 00:45:48,900
but again the wb57 that is deployed is

810
00:45:58,609 --> 00:45:56,089
once the expected blackout period is

811
00:46:01,550 --> 00:45:58,619
over the core here in Mission Control

812
00:46:03,530 --> 00:46:01,560
will attempt to establish Communications

813
00:46:06,530 --> 00:46:03,540
with the crew so you may hear some call

814
00:46:08,390 --> 00:46:06,540
outs checking in with the crew and they

815
00:46:10,250 --> 00:46:08,400
will make that call out until the crew

816
00:46:34,010 --> 00:46:10,260
does respond which will confirm

817
00:46:39,829 --> 00:46:36,290
we have about two minutes remaining in

818
00:46:43,130 --> 00:46:39,839
the anticipated period of communications

819
00:46:45,109 --> 00:46:43,140
blackout now it's not an exact science

820
00:46:47,089 --> 00:46:45,119
there might be some variation that

821
00:46:49,849 --> 00:46:47,099
occurs we might hear from the crew a

822
00:46:52,430 --> 00:46:49,859
little earlier the than we expected or

823
00:46:55,069 --> 00:46:52,440
potentially a little bit later but we

824
00:46:58,609 --> 00:46:55,079
are all on the edge of our seats eagerly

825
00:47:10,130 --> 00:46:58,619
awaiting to hear from the crew so far

826
00:47:12,590 --> 00:47:11,740
okay

827
00:47:15,250 --> 00:47:12,600
[Music]

828
00:47:42,650 --> 00:47:15,260
[Applause]

829
00:47:49,010 --> 00:47:44,990
continuing to get those views from the

830
00:47:50,630 --> 00:47:49,020
wb57 of crew dragon as it continues to

831
00:47:57,829 --> 00:47:50,640
make its way closer and closer to

832
00:47:57,839 --> 00:48:03,650
okay

833
00:48:08,930 --> 00:48:05,390
copy and concur expect an automated

834
00:48:08,940 --> 00:48:13,510
foreign

835
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:19,370
expect nominal shoot deployment altitude

836
00:48:19,380 --> 00:48:25,849
supplies

837
00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:28,309
well Jesse it is absolutely phenomenal

838
00:48:33,109 --> 00:48:30,960
to hear from the crew on the other side

839
00:48:34,849 --> 00:48:33,119
of that Communications blackout period

840
00:48:37,309 --> 00:48:34,859
We are continuing to get these great

841
00:48:39,770 --> 00:48:37,319
views from the wb-57 High Altitude

842
00:48:43,010 --> 00:48:39,780
aircraft providing that thermal imagery

843
00:48:44,710 --> 00:48:43,020
we did even see the tale of Entry of the

844
00:48:51,349 --> 00:48:44,720
vehicle and it's just absolutely

845
00:48:57,109 --> 00:48:53,750
we did hear a call up to the crew that

846
00:48:59,569 --> 00:48:57,119
they are expecting the automated drogue

847
00:49:01,370 --> 00:48:59,579
deployment so we're just standing by for

848
00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:01,380
confirmation that dragon's shoots have

849
00:49:15,230 --> 00:49:09,770
again there will be a set

850
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:21,290
s

851
00:49:26,089 --> 00:49:23,990
for here communicating with the crew

852
00:49:28,069 --> 00:49:26,099
giving them a heads up that they should

853
00:49:29,089 --> 00:49:28,079
feel the drug shoots deploying here

854
00:49:32,210 --> 00:49:29,099
shortly

855
00:49:37,010 --> 00:49:32,220
followed by the main shoots just about a

856
00:49:43,010 --> 00:49:40,430
the the drug shoots do help to slow the

857
00:49:46,010 --> 00:49:43,020
vehicle down to about 350 miles per hour

858
00:49:48,890 --> 00:49:46,020
whereas the main shoots will deploy

859
00:49:50,329 --> 00:49:48,900
after the main shoots deploy it will

860
00:49:52,430 --> 00:49:50,339
slow the vehicle down even more and by

861
00:50:01,270 --> 00:49:52,440
the time that the vehicle splashes down

862
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:09,670
foreign

863
00:50:23,329 --> 00:50:11,809
shoots and you can hear the crowd here

864
00:50:29,170 --> 00:50:25,370
drug shoot descent rate nominal and

865
00:50:29,180 --> 00:50:39,170
Freedom copies

866
00:50:45,050 --> 00:50:41,930
very cool view of dragon with the two

867
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:45,060
draw shoots we are just anticipating the

868
00:50:49,930 --> 00:51:07,010
[Applause]

869
00:51:12,290 --> 00:51:09,049
main shoot descent rate nominal Visual

870
00:51:26,230 --> 00:51:13,990
foreign

871
00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:29,030
and great news as you can see there the

872
00:51:36,109 --> 00:51:32,640
main shoots have deployed slowing the

873
00:51:40,810 --> 00:51:36,119
dragon vehicle down significantly

874
00:51:52,069 --> 00:51:40,820
down to approximately 119 miles per hour

875
00:51:56,870 --> 00:51:54,109
a dragon has saved all propulsion

876
00:51:59,809 --> 00:51:56,880
systems and is now terminating the

877
00:52:05,270 --> 00:51:59,819
nitrox suit and cabin purges and is

878
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:10,609
copy 800.

879
00:52:15,950 --> 00:52:13,190
dragon is beginning to increase pressure

880
00:52:18,170 --> 00:52:15,960
in preparation for landing and Mission

881
00:52:20,329 --> 00:52:18,180
Control the mission control team here in

882
00:52:22,910 --> 00:52:20,339
Hawthorne is reporting

883
00:52:27,530 --> 00:52:22,920
the precise Landing coordinates to the

884
00:52:38,990 --> 00:52:29,690
so we did get that confirmation on the

885
00:52:43,910 --> 00:52:41,450
the crew is now 600 meters away from

886
00:52:52,370 --> 00:52:43,920
splashing down we do expect splash down

887
00:52:56,930 --> 00:52:54,950
landing and water is simpler therefore

888
00:53:00,470 --> 00:52:56,940
more reliable and it provides more

889
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,490
copy four

890
00:53:08,630 --> 00:53:06,650
provides more margin against unlikely

891
00:53:11,510 --> 00:53:08,640
parachute issues we had to learn how to

892
00:53:14,990 --> 00:53:11,520
make dragon waterproof but once you do

893
00:53:17,450 --> 00:53:15,000
it is a rinse review and reuse type of

894
00:53:20,089 --> 00:53:17,460
process and we are just about a minute

895
00:53:22,370 --> 00:53:20,099
away from Splashdown of the Dragon

896
00:53:24,710 --> 00:53:22,380
vehicle back onto planet Earth and

897
00:53:28,609 --> 00:53:24,720
hearing good call outs of the altitude

898
00:53:31,190 --> 00:53:28,619
of dragons at 200 meters

899
00:53:33,290 --> 00:53:31,200
copy brace for Splashdown

900
00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:33,300
and again that descent rate is as

901
00:53:37,490 --> 00:53:35,040
expected here pretty soon we should be

902
00:53:40,730 --> 00:53:37,500
able to see the view of the ocean come

903
00:53:43,010 --> 00:53:40,740
into view as crew Dragon Freedom with

904
00:53:46,670 --> 00:53:43,020
four astronauts on board prepares to

905
00:53:58,790 --> 00:53:46,680
splash down after spending 170 days in

906
00:54:17,390 --> 00:54:13,609
[Applause]

907
00:54:24,530 --> 00:54:17,400
let's grab those biodes for three or

908
00:54:24,540 --> 00:54:28,510
welcome

909
00:54:35,930 --> 00:54:32,270
home crew four great view watching

910
00:54:37,849 --> 00:54:35,940
Dragon splash down back on planet Earth

911
00:54:40,010 --> 00:54:37,859
now as you can see on your screen we

912
00:54:41,809 --> 00:54:40,020
have visual confirmation for a

913
00:54:44,450 --> 00:54:41,819
Splashdown of the Dragon spacecraft

914
00:54:47,270 --> 00:54:44,460
Dragon Freedom has returned home in NASA

915
00:54:49,430 --> 00:54:47,280
astronauts shell Bob Jessica and yes

916
00:54:53,809 --> 00:54:49,440
okay that's pretty dumb we are water

917
00:54:59,630 --> 00:54:56,510
puppy Freedom we see stable one you are

918
00:55:01,609 --> 00:54:59,640
go for four decimal 800. and on behalf

919
00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:01,619
of SpaceX welcome home thanks for

920
00:55:13,970 --> 00:55:11,569
and uh SpaceX uh from Freedom thank you

921
00:55:25,549 --> 00:55:13,980
for incredible right up to orbit and an

922
00:55:30,049 --> 00:55:27,589
as you can see Dragon Freedom has

923
00:55:33,049 --> 00:55:30,059
returned home and NASA astronauts ciao

924
00:55:35,510 --> 00:55:33,059
Bob and Jessica and Esa astronaut

925
00:55:38,030 --> 00:55:35,520
Samantha are back on Earth after an

926
00:55:40,730 --> 00:55:38,040
approximately five hour return Journey

927
00:55:42,410 --> 00:55:40,740
from space these SpaceX recovery ship

928
00:55:44,150 --> 00:55:42,420
and team has been waiting for Dragon

929
00:55:46,670 --> 00:55:44,160
Splashdown and they will now make their

930
00:55:49,130 --> 00:55:46,680
way to these Splashdown locations

931
00:55:51,410 --> 00:55:49,140
and we did hear the call out that the

932
00:55:53,030 --> 00:55:51,420
vehicle is in stable one that's the

933
00:55:55,010 --> 00:55:53,040
configuration that we're hoping for

934
00:55:57,530 --> 00:55:55,020
stable one means it's in the ocean

935
00:56:00,349 --> 00:55:57,540
upright as expected and you can see that

936
00:56:02,329 --> 00:56:00,359
exactly on your screen here so the teams

937
00:56:04,490 --> 00:56:02,339
have been ready and waiting about three

938
00:56:06,770 --> 00:56:04,500
nautical miles away so it's going to

939
00:56:08,930 --> 00:56:06,780
take them about 30 minutes or so to make

940
00:56:12,650 --> 00:56:08,940
their way to ciao Bob Jessica and

941
00:56:14,690 --> 00:56:12,660
Samantha inside but about a minute and

942
00:56:17,270 --> 00:56:14,700
30 seconds after

943
00:56:20,630 --> 00:56:17,280
um The Landing Mission Control Hawthorne

944
00:56:22,910 --> 00:56:20,640
will give the go for Final Approach and

945
00:56:25,670 --> 00:56:22,920
the safe approach and then about two

946
00:56:28,010 --> 00:56:25,680
minutes after landing the approach vote

947
00:56:30,890 --> 00:56:28,020
will begin those inspections that we

948
00:56:33,230 --> 00:56:30,900
discussed earlier that's just to ensure

949
00:56:35,329 --> 00:56:33,240
that everything is as expected with the

950
00:56:36,890 --> 00:56:35,339
vehicle let's dragon

951
00:56:44,210 --> 00:56:36,900
completely

952
00:56:49,370 --> 00:56:46,970
hey thanks copies Dragon for awareness

953
00:56:51,049 --> 00:56:49,380
Palm is a little bit choppy but we copy

954
00:56:53,809 --> 00:56:51,059
that you are complete with four decimal

955
00:56:55,130 --> 00:56:53,819
800 and awaiting recovery Personnel I

956
00:57:04,490 --> 00:56:55,140
will provide an update on recovery

957
00:57:31,549 --> 00:57:07,130
standing by

958
00:57:37,130 --> 00:57:34,370
Mission Control here in Hawthorne did

959
00:57:41,990 --> 00:57:37,140
give the go for that approach and

960
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:55,549
foreign

961
00:58:01,130 --> 00:57:58,370
and so here shortly we should be able to

962
00:58:04,370 --> 00:58:01,140
get some views of the fast boats as they

963
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:04,380
approach uh the dragon Freedom with the

964
00:58:11,530 --> 00:58:18,049
[Music]

965
00:58:18,059 --> 00:58:21,970
foreign

966
00:58:26,750 --> 00:58:24,589
SpaceX is go for Recovery Personnel to

967
00:58:47,170 --> 00:58:26,760
approach expect Personnel alongside

968
00:58:51,589 --> 00:58:49,549
and there you are getting a view of

969
00:58:55,010 --> 00:58:51,599
those fast boats as they approach the

970
00:58:59,329 --> 00:58:57,170
they will essentially be doing some

971
00:59:02,690 --> 00:58:59,339
safety checks making sure that all the

972
00:59:04,730 --> 00:59:02,700
ordinances and Hyper Galls are not

973
00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:04,740
present or in the area immediately

974
00:59:08,990 --> 00:59:06,720
around the vehicle and they'll also

975
00:59:11,210 --> 00:59:09,000
perform Enix an inspection of the

976
00:59:13,490 --> 00:59:11,220
capsule itself to make sure that

977
00:59:15,650 --> 00:59:13,500
Integrity wise it is looking good

978
00:59:19,849 --> 00:59:15,660
you are seeing that very first fast boat

979
00:59:23,690 --> 00:59:21,530
and they really want to do these

980
00:59:26,690 --> 00:59:23,700
inspections to make sure that everything

981
00:59:31,510 --> 00:59:26,700
is looking good before they do hoist it

982
00:59:36,650 --> 00:59:33,710
so it will take a little bit of time

983
00:59:38,270 --> 00:59:36,660
before we do see the crew egress or exit

984
00:59:40,549 --> 00:59:38,280
the capsule

985
00:59:42,410 --> 00:59:40,559
we're shooting for less than an hour to

986
00:59:59,210 --> 00:59:42,420
bring the dragon onto the recovery ship

987
01:00:04,130 --> 01:00:01,789
once these checkouts are complete you'll

988
01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:04,140
see a member of the recovery team

989
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:06,780
actually climb on board the capsule

990
01:00:15,349 --> 01:00:10,850
creative SpaceX for camera configuration

991
01:00:39,460 --> 01:00:17,569
we are looking for permission to come on

992
01:00:39,470 --> 01:00:47,030
[Music]

993
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:56,410
foreign

994
01:01:14,829 --> 01:00:58,549
we are back on board with the display

995
01:01:20,690 --> 01:01:17,990
and getting some waves from the crew

996
01:01:22,609 --> 01:01:20,700
onboard Freedom post splash down looks

997
01:01:26,950 --> 01:01:22,619
like they're doing pretty well first

998
01:01:30,230 --> 01:01:26,960
time feeling uh gravity in 170 days

999
01:01:33,170 --> 01:01:30,240
it looks like they're waving uh to the

1000
01:01:36,829 --> 01:01:33,180
world technically the crew will remain

1001
01:01:54,109 --> 01:01:36,839
in their seats all the way until they

1002
01:01:59,809 --> 01:01:57,049
now we do expect to hear some words from

1003
01:02:01,910 --> 01:01:59,819
NASA's Brandy Dean who is actually on

1004
01:02:04,910 --> 01:02:01,920
the recovery ship and was able to

1005
01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:04,920
witness the re-entry and splash down of

1006
01:02:08,630 --> 01:02:06,960
crew Dragon Freedom Brandy if you're

1007
01:02:10,670 --> 01:02:08,640
able to hear us can you tell us a little

1008
01:02:13,190 --> 01:02:10,680
bit about what it was like to witness

1009
01:02:14,809 --> 01:02:13,200
four humans return to Earth after their

1010
01:02:17,390 --> 01:02:14,819
mission aboard the International Space

1011
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:21,180
foreign

1012
01:03:00,549 --> 01:02:33,390
[Music]

1013
01:03:05,450 --> 01:03:03,230
so it's been a really great day so far

1014
01:03:08,390 --> 01:03:05,460
from the sports being the group here on

1015
01:03:10,069 --> 01:03:08,400
board too that's wonderful to hear

1016
01:03:12,170 --> 01:03:10,079
Brandy can you tell us a little bit

1017
01:03:13,670 --> 01:03:12,180
about what the crew is doing and is done

1018
01:03:14,930 --> 01:03:13,680
to prepare for this moment from your

1019
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:14,940
perspective as you've been on the

1020
01:03:36,260 --> 01:03:44,410
We've Got You Brandi here I'll repeat it

1021
01:03:49,849 --> 01:03:47,650
the rigging is in process progress

1022
01:03:53,450 --> 01:03:49,859
approximately two five minutes until

1023
01:03:57,250 --> 01:03:53,460
capsule lift standby for PFC with SpaceX

1024
01:04:02,150 --> 01:04:00,349
okay Freedom copies all hyper adults

1025
01:04:06,490 --> 01:04:02,160
checks are passed uh and we're about 25

1026
01:04:10,730 --> 01:04:09,109
so Brandi if you're still with us we did

1027
01:04:13,849 --> 01:04:10,740
just hear that all of those hyper gold

1028
01:04:15,950 --> 01:04:13,859
checks went as expected and we can see

1029
01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:15,960
um that the rigging has begun I'm sure

1030
01:04:19,190 --> 01:04:17,280
you have a much better view of it

1031
01:04:21,349 --> 01:04:19,200
yourself on the boat but can you tell us

1032
01:04:23,510 --> 01:04:21,359
a little bit more about what the crew on

1033
01:04:26,210 --> 01:04:23,520
the boat is doing to get ready for the

1034
01:04:26,460 --> 01:04:26,220
next steps to bring the capsule onto the

1035
01:04:29,329 --> 01:04:26,470
boat

1036
01:04:32,210 --> 01:04:29,339
[Applause]

1037
01:04:36,470 --> 01:04:34,609
and it sounds like we may have lost uh

1038
01:04:38,870 --> 01:04:36,480
Brandi they are out at Sea so

1039
01:04:41,270 --> 01:04:38,880
Communications can be a bit spotty we

1040
01:04:44,030 --> 01:04:41,280
might be able to join back with her a

1041
01:04:45,650 --> 01:04:44,040
bit later but you are seeing right now

1042
01:04:47,990 --> 01:04:45,660
um someone on the capsule they are doing

1043
01:04:49,549 --> 01:04:48,000
what is called rigging you see that

1044
01:04:51,950 --> 01:04:49,559
they're tossing um some different

1045
01:04:55,069 --> 01:04:51,960
equipment up to them and that's to

1046
01:04:56,750 --> 01:04:55,079
ensure that the vehicle is ready SpaceX

1047
01:04:58,849 --> 01:04:56,760
I'll be privatizing driving to ground

1048
01:05:00,410 --> 01:04:58,859
now the next call you hear will be from

1049
01:05:04,089 --> 01:05:00,420
the SpaceX flight surgeon on the

1050
01:05:04,099 --> 01:05:08,770
Freedom copies

1051
01:05:14,270 --> 01:05:11,930
and so those call outs about a private

1052
01:05:16,849 --> 01:05:14,280
medical conference just to ensure that

1053
01:05:18,589 --> 01:05:16,859
the crew is all feeling healthy and if

1054
01:05:21,230 --> 01:05:18,599
there's anything that they may need

1055
01:05:23,630 --> 01:05:21,240
medically wise once they do get on the

1056
01:05:24,470 --> 01:05:23,640
boat uh that is of course privatized for

1057
01:05:27,289 --> 01:05:24,480
medical

1058
01:05:29,210 --> 01:05:27,299
um and person personal reasons but we

1059
01:05:31,670 --> 01:05:29,220
are continuing to get really great views

1060
01:05:34,130 --> 01:05:31,680
here of the rigging process as I was

1061
01:05:37,130 --> 01:05:34,140
saying this individual is working to

1062
01:05:39,890 --> 01:05:37,140
secure dragon and enable it to be lifted

1063
01:05:42,410 --> 01:05:39,900
onto the recovery vessel here in just a

1064
01:05:57,770 --> 01:05:42,420
short time from now

1065
01:06:03,410 --> 01:06:01,309
and so once this process is complete the

1066
01:06:06,289 --> 01:06:03,420
next steps will be to hoist up dragon

1067
01:06:07,930 --> 01:06:06,299
and place it onto the boat onto the

1068
01:06:13,490 --> 01:06:07,940
platform

1069
01:06:22,329 --> 01:06:13,500
moved so that the crew can egress a

1070
01:06:27,829 --> 01:06:25,490
and once the crew is on the boat and

1071
01:06:30,470 --> 01:06:27,839
back inside of the capsule they will

1072
01:06:33,170 --> 01:06:30,480
board helicopters that are on the boat

1073
01:06:35,870 --> 01:06:33,180
to bring them back to Ellington Field

1074
01:06:38,630 --> 01:06:35,880
which is near the Johnson Space Center

1075
01:06:41,089 --> 01:06:38,640
in Houston Texas and then they will

1076
01:06:46,490 --> 01:06:41,099
bring European Space Agency astronaut

1077
01:07:12,820 --> 01:06:49,370
what's up

1078
01:07:12,830 --> 01:07:25,029
[Music]

1079
01:07:32,349 --> 01:07:27,829
SpaceX PMC complete and dragon to ground

1080
01:07:32,359 --> 01:07:40,789
thank you

1081
01:07:45,829 --> 01:07:43,670
and it sounds like we do have Brandy

1082
01:07:48,109 --> 01:07:45,839
back with us so Brandi if you can hear

1083
01:07:50,870 --> 01:07:48,119
us can you tell us a little bit about

1084
01:07:54,049 --> 01:07:50,880
what the crew on the vessel is doing to

1085
01:07:55,970 --> 01:07:54,059
prepare for the capsule to be placed um

1086
01:07:58,309 --> 01:07:55,980
onto the boat we did see the the rigging

1087
01:07:59,569 --> 01:07:58,319
that was taking place but I'm sure you

1088
01:08:02,210 --> 01:07:59,579
have a much better view from your

1089
01:08:02,220 --> 01:08:07,569
all right

1090
01:08:12,170 --> 01:08:10,190
from here we can see that uh getting

1091
01:08:14,390 --> 01:08:12,180
your VIPs ready as you said um it sounds

1092
01:08:16,490 --> 01:08:14,400
like you guys already heard

1093
01:08:18,289 --> 01:08:16,500
um kind of a good check from the crew

1094
01:08:19,849 --> 01:08:18,299
sometimes like everyone is doing well on

1095
01:08:22,130 --> 01:08:19,859
board how about you right up here

1096
01:08:23,930 --> 01:08:22,140
earlier it was a beautiful gorgeous

1097
01:08:26,269 --> 01:08:23,940
background with the sun shine behind

1098
01:08:27,890 --> 01:08:26,279
Bears too so everyone here is really

1099
01:08:30,169 --> 01:08:27,900
excited to be getting the crew back on

1100
01:08:31,450 --> 01:08:30,179
board here in the next few minutes

1101
01:08:35,630 --> 01:08:31,460
um

1102
01:08:38,809 --> 01:08:35,640
left around the time of unboxing today

1103
01:08:41,150 --> 01:08:38,819
and then the Napa in Egypt is uh joined

1104
01:08:43,910 --> 01:08:41,160
up by sophomore just a few hours later

1105
01:08:46,669 --> 01:08:43,920
so this has been been getting the

1106
01:08:47,930 --> 01:08:46,679
medical room ready it's still down and

1107
01:08:50,329 --> 01:08:47,940
it's going to be really comfortable for

1108
01:08:52,789 --> 01:08:50,339
the crew I think it's been just a little

1109
01:08:55,370 --> 01:08:52,799
time there just as long as it takes for

1110
01:08:59,150 --> 01:08:55,380
the cruise up to making the helicopter

1111
01:09:01,510 --> 01:08:59,160
ride back to dry land so we'll do a few

1112
01:09:03,950 --> 01:09:01,520
Medical Services

1113
01:09:05,870 --> 01:09:03,960
[Music]

1114
01:09:08,630 --> 01:09:05,880
back into their bodies help them

1115
01:09:10,309 --> 01:09:08,640
readjust your gravity a little better uh

1116
01:09:11,870 --> 01:09:10,319
just to bring you a medical checkout so

1117
01:09:13,189 --> 01:09:11,880
let's bring that sort of thing and then

1118
01:09:15,289 --> 01:09:13,199
when they get back to Jacksonville

1119
01:09:18,650 --> 01:09:15,299
that's when the fun really starts with

1120
01:09:21,229 --> 01:09:18,660
the scientific asset or things

1121
01:09:22,550 --> 01:09:21,239
um I've never been hurt including tests

1122
01:09:25,130 --> 01:09:22,560
that will kind of talk a little bit more

1123
01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:25,140
about what's like when we are sending

1124
01:09:30,410 --> 01:09:27,600
Crews to the Moon they'll do things like

1125
01:09:32,150 --> 01:09:30,420
having them step up upstairs and see how

1126
01:09:35,150 --> 01:09:32,160
they're able to handle that having been

1127
01:09:36,650 --> 01:09:35,160
in place for several months and uh get

1128
01:09:38,390 --> 01:09:36,660
on the ground with him like they fall in

1129
01:09:40,189 --> 01:09:38,400
and try and get back up things like that

1130
01:09:42,110 --> 01:09:40,199
that will really help us be sure that

1131
01:09:54,490 --> 01:09:42,120
we're ready when we're sending Crews to

1132
01:10:00,530 --> 01:09:57,229
make sure they're doing well before they

1133
01:10:03,050 --> 01:10:00,540
jump right into their recovery period of

1134
01:10:04,070 --> 01:10:03,060
uh medical tests scientific test and a

1135
01:10:06,830 --> 01:10:04,080
lot of exercise to get some

1136
01:10:08,270 --> 01:10:06,840
reconditioned and used to live back in

1137
01:10:10,729 --> 01:10:08,280
gravity again

1138
01:10:12,890 --> 01:10:10,739
um meanwhile Samantha will be going back

1139
01:10:15,950 --> 01:10:12,900
to Europe I shall so we've pretty much

1140
01:10:18,410 --> 01:10:15,960
right away once they get back to Houston

1141
01:10:20,750 --> 01:10:18,420
thank you so much Brandi for that

1142
01:10:22,370 --> 01:10:20,760
insight and sharing your first hand

1143
01:10:24,470 --> 01:10:22,380
experience of what it was like to

1144
01:10:26,810 --> 01:10:24,480
witness splash down from the recovery

1145
01:10:28,970 --> 01:10:26,820
vessel we really appreciate you taking

1146
01:10:30,890 --> 01:10:28,980
the time to speak with us but we'll let

1147
01:10:51,669 --> 01:10:30,900
you get back to it and enjoy your time

1148
01:10:59,090 --> 01:10:56,030
and as recovery procedures continue as

1149
01:11:02,090 --> 01:10:59,100
expected we did have a Splashdown that

1150
01:11:05,270 --> 01:11:02,100
occurred at 1 55 PM Pacific time this

1151
01:11:07,850 --> 01:11:05,280
afternoon and you do see a wonderful

1152
01:11:11,149 --> 01:11:07,860
photo on the left hand of your screen of

1153
01:11:14,570 --> 01:11:11,159
that Splashdown with the main parachutes

1154
01:11:18,350 --> 01:11:14,580
all deployed really the moment that crew

1155
01:11:22,970 --> 01:11:18,360
Dragon Freedom touched Earth again for

1156
01:11:22,980 --> 01:11:36,310
thank you

1157
01:11:42,830 --> 01:11:39,229
so we do see the recovery vessel

1158
01:11:49,830 --> 01:11:42,840
continue to approach the crew Dragon

1159
01:11:49,840 --> 01:12:00,910
[Music]

1160
01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:03,770
you are seeing on your screen a live

1161
01:12:08,090 --> 01:12:05,760
view inside of the Dragon capsule with

1162
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:08,100
our crew patiently waiting in their

1163
01:12:14,090 --> 01:12:10,860
seats they will remain harnessed into

1164
01:12:33,830 --> 01:12:14,100
their seats until uh the hatch is

1165
01:12:39,229 --> 01:12:37,189
and we did see the rigging process that

1166
01:12:40,850 --> 01:12:39,239
was taking place a short time ago and

1167
01:12:43,669 --> 01:12:40,860
now we're getting another view of it

1168
01:12:45,470 --> 01:12:43,679
here that person on the capsule is is

1169
01:12:48,830 --> 01:12:45,480
called the rigger and they are working

1170
01:12:52,910 --> 01:12:48,840
to secure Dragon to rigging Hardware to

1171
01:12:58,850 --> 01:12:56,090
and that will be done using that A-frame

1172
01:13:13,370 --> 01:12:58,860
which is the boxy frame that you see

1173
01:13:18,470 --> 01:13:15,290
we are getting some pretty great views

1174
01:13:20,090 --> 01:13:18,480
with this being in the daytime we have

1175
01:13:21,530 --> 01:13:20,100
splashed down in the night time where

1176
01:13:24,169 --> 01:13:21,540
it's a little bit harder to see but

1177
01:13:30,050 --> 01:13:24,179
today we've got some light and get to

1178
01:13:40,669 --> 01:13:32,090
looks like a really beautiful day out

1179
01:13:45,649 --> 01:13:42,890
now I am hoping that we will have the

1180
01:13:47,390 --> 01:13:45,659
chance to see the rigor jump off of the

1181
01:14:01,189 --> 01:13:47,400
vehicle that's always one of my favorite

1182
01:14:06,169 --> 01:14:03,709
we are now excitedly awaiting the

1183
01:14:09,649 --> 01:14:06,179
recovery of our Dragon spacecraft with

1184
01:14:12,950 --> 01:14:09,659
NASA astronauts show Bob Jessica and Esa

1185
01:14:14,630 --> 01:14:12,960
astronaut Samantha inside dragon has

1186
01:14:16,850 --> 01:14:14,640
already autonomous autonomously

1187
01:14:18,830 --> 01:14:16,860
completed several steps to Safe itself

1188
01:14:20,810 --> 01:14:18,840
following Splashdown

1189
01:14:23,149 --> 01:14:20,820
now for those of you just joining us the

1190
01:14:25,010 --> 01:14:23,159
mission has gone smoothly so far Dragon

1191
01:14:26,510 --> 01:14:25,020
successfully splashed down in the

1192
01:14:29,930 --> 01:14:26,520
Atlantic Ocean off the coast of

1193
01:14:31,130 --> 01:14:29,940
Jacksonville Florida at 1 55 PM Pacific

1194
01:14:33,470 --> 01:14:31,140
time

1195
01:14:36,410 --> 01:14:33,480
approximately five hours before

1196
01:14:38,689 --> 01:14:36,420
Splashdown dragon autonomously undocked

1197
01:14:40,790 --> 01:14:38,699
from the International Space Station and

1198
01:14:44,930 --> 01:14:40,800
completed a series of departure burns

1199
01:14:47,630 --> 01:14:44,940
the the trunk was then jettisoned and

1200
01:14:49,790 --> 01:14:47,640
the final burn the deorbit burn was

1201
01:14:52,310 --> 01:14:49,800
completed to place dragon on a

1202
01:14:54,530 --> 01:14:52,320
trajectory toward Jacksonville Florida

1203
01:14:56,390 --> 01:14:54,540
Dragon successfully re-entered the

1204
01:14:58,970 --> 01:14:56,400
Earth's atmosphere followed by

1205
01:15:01,189 --> 01:14:58,980
deployment of its parachutes to slow the

1206
01:15:04,010 --> 01:15:01,199
spacecraft down to a gentle Splashdown

1207
01:15:05,990 --> 01:15:04,020
and we saw that moments ago just a few

1208
01:15:08,090 --> 01:15:06,000
minutes ago rather and we had a really

1209
01:15:10,130 --> 01:15:08,100
gorgeous views of it so we're now

1210
01:15:12,530 --> 01:15:10,140
following the final part of Chell Bob

1211
01:15:14,570 --> 01:15:12,540
Jessica and Samantha's journey is dragon

1212
01:15:18,169 --> 01:15:14,580
is going to be lifted out of the water

1213
01:15:20,270 --> 01:15:18,179
and placed on the recovery boat

1214
01:15:23,689 --> 01:15:20,280
upon detection of Landing Dragon

1215
01:15:25,550 --> 01:15:23,699
autonomously releases the main shoots to

1216
01:15:29,229 --> 01:15:25,560
prevent wind from pooling the spacecraft

1217
01:15:31,610 --> 01:15:29,239
Dragon then automatically saves any

1218
01:15:33,950 --> 01:15:31,620
pyrotechnic still present on the vehicle

1219
01:15:36,290 --> 01:15:33,960
and may automatically perform additional

1220
01:15:38,689 --> 01:15:36,300
minor system reconfigurations

1221
01:15:41,090 --> 01:15:38,699
the astronauts remain seated and in

1222
01:15:43,430 --> 01:15:41,100
their seats and in their suits as well

1223
01:15:45,229 --> 01:15:43,440
at this point but the onboard air

1224
01:15:46,910 --> 01:15:45,239
conditioning keeps temperatures in check

1225
01:15:49,130 --> 01:15:46,920
inside of the spacecraft and the

1226
01:15:50,930 --> 01:15:49,140
communication systems on board remain

1227
01:15:54,290 --> 01:15:50,940
powered so that the crew can continue to

1228
01:15:56,450 --> 01:15:54,300
communicate and we did see that motion

1229
01:15:59,149 --> 01:15:56,460
of the A-frame as it was getting ready

1230
01:16:00,770 --> 01:15:59,159
to lift the capsule up and out of the

1231
01:16:03,169 --> 01:16:00,780
water

1232
01:16:05,930 --> 01:16:03,179
now SpaceX does have two fast boats in

1233
01:16:08,930 --> 01:16:05,940
the recovery Fleet which have moved to

1234
01:16:10,910 --> 01:16:08,940
the Splashdown Point already they were

1235
01:16:13,370 --> 01:16:10,920
followed by the main recovery vessel

1236
01:16:16,189 --> 01:16:13,380
which is really getting ready to lift

1237
01:16:18,110 --> 01:16:16,199
the vehicle now at this at this point so

1238
01:16:21,050 --> 01:16:18,120
those two fast boats do have a very

1239
01:16:22,790 --> 01:16:21,060
specific role the first is to the first

1240
01:16:25,010 --> 01:16:22,800
approach is focused on immediate safety

1241
01:16:27,290 --> 01:16:25,020
inspection of the capsule integrity and

1242
01:16:29,450 --> 01:16:27,300
checking for any presence of hypergolic

1243
01:16:31,250 --> 01:16:29,460
propellant Vapors ensuring that it is

1244
01:16:33,649 --> 01:16:31,260
safe for the recovery vessel to approach

1245
01:16:36,350 --> 01:16:33,659
the dragon spacecraft all of those

1246
01:16:38,270 --> 01:16:36,360
checks performed well and once the

1247
01:16:40,250 --> 01:16:38,280
spacecraft is cleared for full approach

1248
01:16:43,130 --> 01:16:40,260
the team begins rigging the capsule for

1249
01:16:46,130 --> 01:16:43,140
water recovery by the recovery ship that

1250
01:16:48,290 --> 01:16:46,140
process is underway and just wrapped up

1251
01:16:50,510 --> 01:16:48,300
and then the second vote is really

1252
01:16:54,410 --> 01:16:50,520
responsible for a parachute recovery and

1253
01:16:56,870 --> 01:16:54,420
serves as a redundant boat to the first

1254
01:16:58,370 --> 01:16:56,880
we'll also see a team member on a jet

1255
01:17:00,890 --> 01:16:58,380
ski helping to gather up the now

1256
01:17:02,390 --> 01:17:00,900
detached parachutes and it looks like um

1257
01:17:03,830 --> 01:17:02,400
they may have already completed that

1258
01:17:06,470 --> 01:17:03,840
process I'm not seeing them they might

1259
01:17:09,410 --> 01:17:06,480
be just off the screen

1260
01:17:11,510 --> 01:17:09,420
I took a little over 10 minutes for the

1261
01:17:13,550 --> 01:17:11,520
recovery crew to complete their safety

1262
01:17:24,169 --> 01:17:13,560
checks and once they did complete that

1263
01:17:29,510 --> 01:17:26,090
working is complete please brace for

1264
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:36,310
foreign

1265
01:17:40,729 --> 01:17:38,930
preparations for rigging have been

1266
01:17:44,100 --> 01:17:40,739
completed with that confirmation of the

1267
01:17:45,410 --> 01:17:44,110
comms there so we should see dragon

1268
01:17:48,290 --> 01:17:45,420
[Applause]

1269
01:17:59,570 --> 01:17:48,300
start to lift out of the water here in

1270
01:18:04,189 --> 01:18:02,090
and the recovery teams are now preparing

1271
01:18:07,970 --> 01:18:04,199
to lower the vessel's hydraulic lift

1272
01:18:10,430 --> 01:18:07,980
mechanism into the water to bring the

1273
01:18:13,250 --> 01:18:10,440
spacecraft into the on Deck translation

1274
01:18:16,310 --> 01:18:13,260
system known as the deck Dragon will

1275
01:18:18,530 --> 01:18:16,320
remain in known as the nest and dragon

1276
01:18:20,209 --> 01:18:18,540
will remain in this Nest during the crew

1277
01:18:24,709 --> 01:18:20,219
extraction and then for the journey back

1278
01:18:29,870 --> 01:18:27,290
so here momentarily we will see the

1279
01:18:32,630 --> 01:18:29,880
capsule being lifted and set on The Nest

1280
01:18:35,330 --> 01:18:32,640
it will then be centered and oriented

1281
01:18:37,370 --> 01:18:35,340
and then translated into the hanger

1282
01:18:41,870 --> 01:18:37,380
underneath the helipad aboard the ship

1283
01:18:46,550 --> 01:18:44,330
and once open a SpaceX medical doctor

1284
01:18:49,310 --> 01:18:46,560
will be the first one to check in on

1285
01:18:50,870 --> 01:18:49,320
Chell Bob Jessica and Samantha and see

1286
01:18:54,110 --> 01:18:50,880
if they are ready for egress or getting

1287
01:19:02,090 --> 01:18:54,120
out and you see that motion underway now

1288
01:19:02,100 --> 01:19:05,950
foreign

1289
01:19:10,610 --> 01:19:09,169
as we lift the dragon vehicle and you

1290
01:19:18,470 --> 01:19:10,620
can see the nest there that it's going

1291
01:19:22,250 --> 01:19:21,110
all dragon's top hatch is used to

1292
01:19:24,590 --> 01:19:22,260
connect the

1293
01:19:26,930 --> 01:19:24,600
connect to these space station the

1294
01:19:27,890 --> 01:19:26,940
astronauts will egress from the dragon's

1295
01:19:30,410 --> 01:19:27,900
side hatch

1296
01:19:31,130 --> 01:19:30,420
uh pending capsule orientation in the

1297
01:19:32,990 --> 01:19:31,140
water

1298
01:19:34,729 --> 01:19:33,000
now before opening the hatch the

1299
01:19:36,590 --> 01:19:34,739
spacecraft's cabin pressure must be

1300
01:19:39,229 --> 01:19:36,600
equalized with the outside environment

1301
01:19:41,750 --> 01:19:39,239
once the hatch is opened that will be

1302
01:19:43,850 --> 01:19:41,760
the crew's first breath of fresh air

1303
01:19:45,750 --> 01:19:43,860
since boarding Dragon at the start of

1304
01:19:49,790 --> 01:19:45,760
their mission back in April

1305
01:19:54,709 --> 01:19:52,669
so it is important to note that Chell

1306
01:19:56,450 --> 01:19:54,719
Bob Jessica and Samantha will be getting

1307
01:19:58,850 --> 01:19:56,460
some assistance from the recovery team

1308
01:20:00,470 --> 01:19:58,860
while they are exiting the capsule this

1309
01:20:02,570 --> 01:20:00,480
is the same process for any returning

1310
01:20:04,790 --> 01:20:02,580
long duration crew members as returning

1311
01:20:06,709 --> 01:20:04,800
to a gravity environment can wreck havoc

1312
01:20:09,830 --> 01:20:06,719
with our vestibular system responsible

1313
01:20:12,229 --> 01:20:09,840
for maintaining balance in motion and of

1314
01:20:15,050 --> 01:20:12,239
course safety is always our number one

1315
01:20:16,970 --> 01:20:15,060
priority so you'll see Chell Bob Jessica

1316
01:20:19,430 --> 01:20:16,980
and Samantha helped out of the capsule

1317
01:20:21,530 --> 01:20:19,440
and assisted the few feet to the medical

1318
01:20:23,450 --> 01:20:21,540
quarters aboard the boat

1319
01:20:25,550 --> 01:20:23,460
and if you've ever watched Cruise return

1320
01:20:27,410 --> 01:20:25,560
on a soyuz mission this is the same

1321
01:20:29,630 --> 01:20:27,420
process as when astronauts are carried

1322
01:20:32,030 --> 01:20:29,640
from the capsule to waiting chairs and

1323
01:20:34,010 --> 01:20:32,040
then carried to a waiting medical tent

1324
01:20:37,310 --> 01:20:34,020
so it looks like we are getting views

1325
01:20:42,530 --> 01:20:37,320
now of dragon in the nest successfully

1326
01:20:48,590 --> 01:20:45,169
and so once the crew egresses the

1327
01:20:50,510 --> 01:20:48,600
capsule this is a period where any time

1328
01:20:53,149 --> 01:20:50,520
critical cargo can also be recovered

1329
01:20:55,250 --> 01:20:53,159
from the spacecraft with the remainder

1330
01:20:57,169 --> 01:20:55,260
waiting Freedom SpaceX well welcome

1331
01:20:58,610 --> 01:20:57,179
aboard the recovery vessel recovery

1332
01:21:00,890 --> 01:20:58,620
Personnel are going to be completing

1333
01:21:19,310 --> 01:21:00,900
final checks and standby for translation

1334
01:21:24,470 --> 01:21:21,890
great news there as Dragon sits in the

1335
01:21:26,810 --> 01:21:24,480
nest there and you did hear some comms

1336
01:21:29,149 --> 01:21:26,820
what they're going to do is once they

1337
01:21:32,870 --> 01:21:29,159
de-rigged this they will slide the

1338
01:21:36,770 --> 01:21:32,880
dragon vehicle to a platform where the

1339
01:21:41,030 --> 01:21:36,780
astronauts can easily exit uh that side

1340
01:21:41,040 --> 01:22:05,209
foreign

1341
01:22:11,030 --> 01:22:07,850
and for those of you that might be just

1342
01:22:13,010 --> 01:22:11,040
joining us we did have crew for

1343
01:22:14,630 --> 01:22:13,020
successfully undock from the

1344
01:22:18,290 --> 01:22:14,640
International Space Station just about

1345
01:22:21,470 --> 01:22:18,300
five hours ago and they splashed down at

1346
01:22:25,130 --> 01:22:21,480
1 55 PM Pacific time

1347
01:22:28,070 --> 01:22:25,140
all went as expected through the deorbit

1348
01:22:32,270 --> 01:22:28,080
burn and the parachutes deployed as

1349
01:22:35,090 --> 01:22:32,280
expected the capsule is now lifted onto

1350
01:22:37,850 --> 01:22:35,100
the boat and we are standing by for the

1351
01:22:40,910 --> 01:22:37,860
translation to occur and once that

1352
01:22:44,270 --> 01:22:40,920
translation moves the Dragon capsule up

1353
01:22:46,550 --> 01:22:44,280
underneath the helicopter pad the

1354
01:22:47,930 --> 01:22:46,560
recovery team will then be able to work

1355
01:22:50,689 --> 01:22:47,940
on

1356
01:23:00,050 --> 01:22:50,699
opening up the hatch and removing the

1357
01:23:00,060 --> 01:23:53,149
foreign

1358
01:23:58,430 --> 01:23:55,910
crew forged splash down just about 30

1359
01:24:00,410 --> 01:23:58,440
minutes ago and is now already on the

1360
01:24:06,290 --> 01:24:00,420
recovery vessel

1361
01:24:09,530 --> 01:24:06,300
named Megan after Crew 2 astronaut Megan

1362
01:24:16,010 --> 01:24:11,209
so we are standing by for that

1363
01:24:20,030 --> 01:24:17,750
you'd see on the recovery vessel the

1364
01:24:22,130 --> 01:24:20,040
platform that they will translate the

1365
01:24:25,729 --> 01:24:22,140
dragon vehicle to

1366
01:24:28,250 --> 01:24:25,739
to saw the view earlier the hatch is uh

1367
01:24:31,910 --> 01:24:28,260
slightly above ground level so that

1368
01:24:39,229 --> 01:24:31,920
platform will allow the crew to exit the

1369
01:24:45,050 --> 01:24:41,810
again if you are just now joining us the

1370
01:24:48,590 --> 01:24:45,060
crew 4 crew is now back on planet Earth

1371
01:24:50,630 --> 01:24:48,600
they are still inside of their seats and

1372
01:24:57,709 --> 01:24:50,640
Suits inside of that Dragon capsule that

1373
01:25:04,070 --> 01:25:00,410
and so after this translation maneuver

1374
01:25:05,810 --> 01:25:04,080
occurs the next steps will be for the

1375
01:25:07,729 --> 01:25:05,820
folks on the recovery vessel that are

1376
01:25:11,149 --> 01:25:07,739
specialized in opening up that side

1377
01:25:12,290 --> 01:25:11,159
hatch that will begin that process now

1378
01:25:14,570 --> 01:25:12,300
we have mentioned that we do have

1379
01:25:16,669 --> 01:25:14,580
medical doctors on board that will help

1380
01:25:19,430 --> 01:25:16,679
take care of the crew after the hatch

1381
01:25:22,310 --> 01:25:19,440
opening and will conduct a series of

1382
01:25:24,470 --> 01:25:22,320
initial checks before they are flown by

1383
01:25:26,390 --> 01:25:24,480
helicopter back to shore

1384
01:25:28,570 --> 01:25:26,400
the recovery vessel as you can imagine

1385
01:25:32,030 --> 01:25:28,580
takes quite a bit of time to get out

1386
01:25:33,290 --> 01:25:32,040
into the Splashdown zone so the crew is

1387
01:25:36,470 --> 01:25:33,300
flown

1388
01:25:39,770 --> 01:25:36,480
um off of the vehicle on helicopters and

1389
01:25:42,290 --> 01:25:39,780
then take aircraft and flight

1390
01:25:44,750 --> 01:25:42,300
um Back Home to Houston for our three

1391
01:25:47,209 --> 01:25:44,760
NASA astronauts on board and then for

1392
01:25:48,830 --> 01:25:47,219
our ESA astronaut on board Samantha

1393
01:25:55,250 --> 01:25:48,840
Christopher ready she'll head back to

1394
01:25:59,450 --> 01:25:57,950
and the crew has been out in space on

1395
01:26:02,330 --> 01:25:59,460
the International Space Station for

1396
01:26:04,910 --> 01:26:02,340
about six months they do get to work out

1397
01:26:08,270 --> 01:26:04,920
while they're out on the space station

1398
01:26:10,070 --> 01:26:08,280
working out in microgravity but that is

1399
01:26:12,470 --> 01:26:10,080
why the medical team is there to make

1400
01:26:15,530 --> 01:26:12,480
sure that they are safe and healthy make

1401
01:26:18,050 --> 01:26:15,540
sure that they are able to adjust to

1402
01:26:20,990 --> 01:26:18,060
gravity uh it's probably a pretty big

1403
01:26:24,290 --> 01:26:21,000
adjustment being uh gone from Gravity

1404
01:26:26,270 --> 01:26:24,300
for such a long period of time so the

1405
01:26:28,189 --> 01:26:26,280
medical team will be there to make sure

1406
01:26:30,709 --> 01:26:28,199
that they can exit the vehicle safely

1407
01:26:32,090 --> 01:26:30,719
and then we'll do some uh private

1408
01:26:38,750 --> 01:26:32,100
medical checks with each of the

1409
01:26:45,229 --> 01:26:41,870
and I'm loving these views here of the

1410
01:26:47,629 --> 01:26:45,239
recovery vessel we don't often get to

1411
01:26:51,590 --> 01:26:47,639
see this because sometimes uh it is

1412
01:26:53,629 --> 01:26:51,600
nighttime uh depending on uh when

1413
01:26:56,030 --> 01:26:53,639
undocking and Splashdown does happen for

1414
01:26:59,450 --> 01:26:56,040
the crew members so this is a pretty

1415
01:27:01,729 --> 01:26:59,460
nice treat to get to see this great View

1416
01:27:03,470 --> 01:27:01,739
and you can see the helicopter pad on

1417
01:27:05,570 --> 01:27:03,480
top of the recover vessel there that

1418
01:27:07,910 --> 01:27:05,580
Sandra was mentioning there will be a

1419
01:27:11,629 --> 01:27:07,920
helicopter that comes and lands there

1420
01:27:13,550 --> 01:27:11,639
shortly once the crew is or has egressed

1421
01:27:18,530 --> 01:27:13,560
the dragon vehicle and is ready to fly

1422
01:27:22,430 --> 01:27:18,540
back to land and then take a another

1423
01:27:29,810 --> 01:27:22,440
flight on a plane to Houston with

1424
01:27:58,970 --> 01:27:31,610
and it looks like we are seeing that

1425
01:28:03,950 --> 01:28:01,550
and coming up next once this translation

1426
01:28:07,729 --> 01:28:03,960
maneuver is complete

1427
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:07,739
crew on board will begin to open up that

1428
01:28:24,410 --> 01:28:08,250
side hatch

1429
01:28:24,420 --> 01:28:29,510
eight minutes

1430
01:28:34,669 --> 01:28:32,209
and as you can see from this view inside

1431
01:28:38,030 --> 01:28:34,679
crew Dragon freedom

1432
01:28:41,209 --> 01:28:38,040
it looks like the crew does have their

1433
01:28:43,850 --> 01:28:41,219
visors it's kind of hard to tell from

1434
01:28:46,070 --> 01:28:43,860
this angle if they're up or down but

1435
01:28:48,110 --> 01:28:46,080
when they egress from the capsule we do

1436
01:28:51,350 --> 01:28:48,120
expect those visors to be up it'll be

1437
01:29:00,169 --> 01:28:51,360
their first breath of fresh air in 170

1438
01:29:00,179 --> 01:29:23,270
foreign

1439
01:29:28,910 --> 01:29:26,209
and we were seeing some views of the

1440
01:29:30,709 --> 01:29:28,920
Personnel on the recovery vessel who are

1441
01:29:33,110 --> 01:29:30,719
specialized in opening up that hatch

1442
01:29:35,510 --> 01:29:33,120
begin to get everything ready to begin

1443
01:29:38,810 --> 01:29:35,520
that process

1444
01:29:51,610 --> 01:29:38,820
so we do expect hatch opening to come

1445
01:29:58,610 --> 01:29:55,610
and once that hatch is open we'll see

1446
01:30:00,709 --> 01:29:58,620
the footrests actually be removed before

1447
01:30:02,390 --> 01:30:00,719
the crew egresses and that's really just

1448
01:30:05,750 --> 01:30:02,400
to help make egressing a little bit

1449
01:30:09,950 --> 01:30:07,729
and now a great view on the left of the

1450
01:30:12,590 --> 01:30:09,960
crew that's still inside freedom but not

1451
01:30:15,410 --> 01:30:12,600
for long and on the right hand side is

1452
01:30:17,689 --> 01:30:15,420
the recovery vessel you can see the crew

1453
01:30:19,430 --> 01:30:17,699
Dragon Freedom tucked underneath the

1454
01:30:21,410 --> 01:30:19,440
helicopter pad there after that

1455
01:30:29,450 --> 01:30:21,420
translation maneuver which occurred just

1456
01:30:29,460 --> 01:30:38,590
foreign

1457
01:30:44,990 --> 01:30:42,590
also too prior to hatch opening

1458
01:30:46,550 --> 01:30:45,000
the pressure inside of the cabin must be

1459
01:30:49,250 --> 01:30:46,560
equalized with the outside environment

1460
01:30:52,070 --> 01:30:49,260
so that is also happening at this moment

1461
01:30:57,110 --> 01:30:52,080
up and

1462
01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:03,250
foreign

1463
01:31:07,990 --> 01:31:06,169
hatch is open these recovery Personnel

1464
01:31:12,290 --> 01:31:08,000
are the first people the crew has seen

1465
01:31:14,450 --> 01:31:12,300
on Earth since their launch day and that

1466
01:31:16,129 --> 01:31:14,460
those folks they saw on that day were

1467
01:31:17,030 --> 01:31:16,139
the the closeout crew who closed the

1468
01:31:19,550 --> 01:31:17,040
hatch

1469
01:31:21,350 --> 01:31:19,560
um back in April

1470
01:31:23,090 --> 01:31:21,360
I believe that is the flight surgeon

1471
01:31:25,970 --> 01:31:23,100
there

1472
01:31:28,250 --> 01:31:25,980
briefing the crew welcoming the crew as

1473
01:31:37,010 --> 01:31:28,260
well as briefing them for the next steps

1474
01:31:37,020 --> 01:31:56,530
traffic

1475
01:32:01,669 --> 01:31:59,450
now that the side hatch is open the

1476
01:32:04,250 --> 01:32:01,679
recovery Personnel are going to work to

1477
01:32:06,649 --> 01:32:04,260
remove those foot rests and then after

1478
01:32:12,350 --> 01:32:06,659
that we should see the crew begin to

1479
01:33:01,450 --> 01:32:44,930
foreign

1480
01:33:06,350 --> 01:33:03,470
thumbs up looks like they're feeling

1481
01:33:08,570 --> 01:33:06,360
pretty pretty good

1482
01:33:10,850 --> 01:33:08,580
so we are standing by for the egress of

1483
01:33:12,890 --> 01:33:10,860
crew 4 they will exit the capsule one at

1484
01:33:15,229 --> 01:33:12,900
a time

1485
01:33:20,330 --> 01:33:15,239
and also getting a nice welcome home

1486
01:33:20,340 --> 01:33:31,629
foreign

1487
01:33:38,149 --> 01:33:36,229
exits you might be able to see a

1488
01:33:40,550 --> 01:33:38,159
stretcher in the view that is perfectly

1489
01:33:42,830 --> 01:33:40,560
normal and expected it's part of the

1490
01:33:44,510 --> 01:33:42,840
nominal procedure as we mentioned the

1491
01:33:46,610 --> 01:33:44,520
crew will be taken to medical facilities

1492
01:33:48,410 --> 01:33:46,620
so this is really just all part of the

1493
01:33:51,530 --> 01:33:48,420
standard procedure that we do for any

1494
01:33:57,590 --> 01:33:55,129
yes again they have been out in space in

1495
01:34:00,350 --> 01:33:57,600
microgravity for about six months

1496
01:34:02,330 --> 01:34:00,360
so they may need some assistance

1497
01:34:12,830 --> 01:34:02,340
adjusting back to gravity here back on

1498
01:34:19,970 --> 01:34:15,110
so I did hear that there's a special

1499
01:34:23,209 --> 01:34:19,980
guest on board looking to welcome crew

1500
01:34:25,990 --> 01:34:23,219
for back to Earth in fact it's the

1501
01:34:29,629 --> 01:34:26,000
namesake for the vessel that they are on

1502
01:34:31,910 --> 01:34:29,639
uh NASA astronaut Megan MacArthur there

1503
01:34:33,129 --> 01:34:31,920
in your screen with that with on the

1504
01:34:36,410 --> 01:34:33,139
left of your screen

1505
01:34:38,689 --> 01:34:36,420
and the hat you can have a view of her

1506
01:34:41,810 --> 01:34:38,699
here on the left of your screen here

1507
01:34:47,270 --> 01:34:41,820
she's I'm sure looking forward to

1508
01:34:51,770 --> 01:34:49,250
that's really awesome to have her on

1509
01:34:57,350 --> 01:34:51,780
board especially the vessel that they

1510
01:35:01,189 --> 01:34:59,030
absolutely so it looks like they're

1511
01:35:29,810 --> 01:35:01,199
continuing to remove those foot rests

1512
01:35:35,030 --> 01:35:32,270
you can see there is a crew member there

1513
01:35:37,790 --> 01:35:35,040
helping to remove the harness the

1514
01:35:39,290 --> 01:35:37,800
umbilicals and make sure that the crew

1515
01:35:42,830 --> 01:35:39,300
is

1516
01:35:59,090 --> 01:35:42,840
ready to get out of their seat and exit

1517
01:36:05,030 --> 01:36:02,149
and once the crew does egress they'll

1518
01:36:06,470 --> 01:36:05,040
take part in those medical checks and

1519
01:36:09,649 --> 01:36:06,480
then after that they will board

1520
01:36:13,729 --> 01:36:09,659
helicopters where they will fly back to

1521
01:36:15,890 --> 01:36:13,739
shore at which point they will board a

1522
01:36:17,810 --> 01:36:15,900
plane and fly back to the Ellington

1523
01:36:20,750 --> 01:36:17,820
airport just outside of the Johnson

1524
01:36:23,330 --> 01:36:20,760
Space Center in Houston and then for our

1525
01:36:25,310 --> 01:36:23,340
Issa or European Space Agency astronaut

1526
01:37:02,030 --> 01:36:25,320
Samantha Christopher ready she'll head

1527
01:37:07,550 --> 01:37:05,270
and so from this view over the shoulder

1528
01:37:10,550 --> 01:37:07,560
of the crew kind of looking behind the

1529
01:37:12,830 --> 01:37:10,560
crew from left to right we can't see her

1530
01:37:15,410 --> 01:37:12,840
right now but on the farthest left is

1531
01:37:18,110 --> 01:37:15,420
European Space Agency astronaut Samantha

1532
01:37:20,450 --> 01:37:18,120
Christopher ready and then in the view

1533
01:37:23,629 --> 01:37:20,460
on the left of your screen is the

1534
01:37:26,030 --> 01:37:23,639
commander of crew Dragon Freedom NASA

1535
01:37:28,550 --> 01:37:26,040
astronaut chilled lingrin to his right

1536
01:37:31,850 --> 01:37:28,560
which we can see on our screen is NASA

1537
01:37:34,910 --> 01:37:31,860
astronaut Bob Heinz and then to his

1538
01:37:37,189 --> 01:37:34,920
right again we can't see her just yet

1539
01:37:40,250 --> 01:37:37,199
but we will in a moment here once they

1540
01:37:43,490 --> 01:37:40,260
egress is NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins

1541
01:37:46,970 --> 01:37:43,500
now this was the first flight for Bob

1542
01:37:56,570 --> 01:37:46,980
Hines and Jessica watan Watkins both

1543
01:38:01,330 --> 01:37:58,729
I also believe you mentioned a pretty

1544
01:38:05,209 --> 01:38:01,340
cool fun fact about Samantha being

1545
01:38:08,149 --> 01:38:05,219
having one of the longest amount of time

1546
01:38:11,090 --> 01:38:08,159
out in space correct yeah that's right

1547
01:38:13,970 --> 01:38:11,100
so Samantha Christopher Eddie now is

1548
01:38:18,169 --> 01:38:13,980
second in the running for longest space

1549
01:38:21,050 --> 01:38:18,179
flight by any woman she has totaled 369

1550
01:38:24,890 --> 01:38:21,060
days in Space over her two flights and

1551
01:38:27,290 --> 01:38:24,900
she is second only to now retired NASA

1552
01:38:35,450 --> 01:38:27,300
astronaut Peggy Whitson

1553
01:39:00,970 --> 01:38:39,950
looks like the first two exit their seat

1554
01:39:06,410 --> 01:39:03,830
and so again you do see that stretcher

1555
01:39:08,330 --> 01:39:06,420
to the left of the screen there that is

1556
01:39:10,189 --> 01:39:08,340
all part of our standard procedures

1557
01:39:14,270 --> 01:39:10,199
looks like we're getting some claps and

1558
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:39,129
first out of crew Dragon freedom

1559
01:39:39,139 --> 01:39:44,450
and a high five to Megan McArthur

1560
01:39:44,460 --> 01:39:53,209
foreign

1561
01:40:00,229 --> 01:39:56,870
so as we just saw Bob Hines was the very

1562
01:40:02,629 --> 01:40:00,239
first to exit or egress the capsule he

1563
01:40:07,970 --> 01:40:02,639
spent a total of 170 days in space this

1564
01:40:12,890 --> 01:40:10,550
and it looks like next up we will have

1565
01:40:19,450 --> 01:40:12,900
the commander Chell lingrin who will

1566
01:40:24,229 --> 01:40:21,110
foreign

1567
01:40:27,110 --> 01:40:24,239
this is his second space flight he's

1568
01:40:27,900 --> 01:40:27,120
logged a total of 311 days

1569
01:40:55,610 --> 01:40:27,910
in space

1570
01:40:55,620 --> 01:41:05,590
foreign

1571
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:22,149
is now outside of crew Dragon freedom

1572
01:41:28,070 --> 01:41:25,729
some great smiles and waves there

1573
01:41:37,450 --> 01:41:28,080
a big high five it's a NASA astronaut

1574
01:42:04,189 --> 01:41:41,330
recovery Personnel now working to get

1575
01:42:04,199 --> 01:42:39,590
foreign

1576
01:42:44,390 --> 01:42:42,649
so just five hours ago this vehicle was

1577
01:42:46,910 --> 01:42:44,400
docked to the International Space

1578
01:42:49,609 --> 01:42:46,920
Station and now we have two of the four

1579
01:42:52,729 --> 01:42:49,619
crew members having been removed after a

1580
01:42:55,669 --> 01:42:52,739
successful Splashdown

1581
01:42:58,189 --> 01:42:55,679
we are standing by for another first

1582
01:43:12,169 --> 01:42:58,199
time flyer Jessica Watkins as she is

1583
01:43:12,179 --> 01:43:30,609
foreign

1584
01:43:35,090 --> 01:43:33,169
Jessica Watkins

1585
01:43:52,129 --> 01:43:35,100
standing up for the first time in about

1586
01:43:52,139 --> 01:43:59,990
laughs

1587
01:44:04,850 --> 01:44:02,570
and the final crew member that will be

1588
01:44:07,490 --> 01:44:04,860
removed is European Space Agency

1589
01:44:10,310 --> 01:44:07,500
astronaut Samantha Christopher ready

1590
01:44:13,250 --> 01:44:10,320
who after this Mission has logged 369

1591
01:44:15,709 --> 01:44:13,260
days in Space over her two flights which

1592
01:44:18,350 --> 01:44:15,719
again that does make her the second on

1593
01:44:21,830 --> 01:44:18,360
the all-time list for most days in Space

1594
01:44:23,830 --> 01:44:21,840
by a woman and that is second to NASA's

1595
01:44:26,750 --> 01:44:23,840
Peggy Whitson who lost

1596
01:44:43,490 --> 01:44:26,760
665 days in Space over her three space

1597
01:45:48,290 --> 01:45:14,270
foreign

1598
01:45:53,570 --> 01:45:51,290
there is Issa astronaut Samantha

1599
01:45:56,810 --> 01:45:53,580
Christopher Eddie now egress from the

1600
01:46:09,830 --> 01:45:56,820
dragon vehicle the final crew member of

1601
01:46:15,410 --> 01:46:13,070
well now that Chell lingrin Bob Heinz

1602
01:46:17,930 --> 01:46:15,420
Jessica Watkins and Samantha Christopher

1603
01:46:19,790 --> 01:46:17,940
ready are safely back home on Earth and

1604
01:46:22,070 --> 01:46:19,800
getting checked out by the NASA medical

1605
01:46:24,950 --> 01:46:22,080
team we're going to wrap up our live

1606
01:46:28,129 --> 01:46:24,960
coverage of the return this all kicked

1607
01:46:30,830 --> 01:46:28,139
off on April 27th from historic launch

1608
01:46:33,649 --> 01:46:30,840
pad 39a at the Kennedy Space Center in

1609
01:46:36,590 --> 01:46:33,659
Florida after a successful liftoff and

1610
01:46:39,350 --> 01:46:36,600
separation from Falcon 9 Chell Bob

1611
01:46:41,629 --> 01:46:39,360
Jessica and Samantha made a 16-hour

1612
01:46:43,729 --> 01:46:41,639
flight on board dragon to the

1613
01:46:45,649 --> 01:46:43,739
International Space Station since

1614
01:46:47,870 --> 01:46:45,659
arriving at the space station they spent

1615
01:46:51,950 --> 01:46:47,880
nearly six months as members of

1616
01:46:54,890 --> 01:46:51,960
expedition 67 and 68 executing science

1617
01:46:57,410 --> 01:46:54,900
experiments spacewalks and repairs all

1618
01:46:59,629 --> 01:46:57,420
aboard the orbiting laboratory and their

1619
01:47:01,669 --> 01:46:59,639
journey home began earlier today October

1620
01:47:03,410 --> 01:47:01,679
14th when they closed the hats to dragon

1621
01:47:06,890 --> 01:47:03,420
and undock from the International Space

1622
01:47:09,109 --> 01:47:06,900
Station at 9 05 a.m Pacific time after

1623
01:47:10,970 --> 01:47:09,119
four successful departure Burns and a

1624
01:47:13,310 --> 01:47:10,980
phasing burn to line up their orbit

1625
01:47:15,590 --> 01:47:13,320
shall Bob Jessica and Samantha rested

1626
01:47:18,050 --> 01:47:15,600
for a few hours before waking up to

1627
01:47:19,970 --> 01:47:18,060
prepare for re-entry this morning we

1628
01:47:22,729 --> 01:47:19,980
jettisoned dragons trunk and performed

1629
01:47:25,729 --> 01:47:22,739
our final on-orbit maneuver the deorbit

1630
01:47:28,450 --> 01:47:25,739
burn at 101 pm

1631
01:47:32,090 --> 01:47:28,460
GMT or Pacific time to send Dragon

1632
01:47:33,830 --> 01:47:32,100
omnipath home the spacecraft re-entered

1633
01:47:35,629 --> 01:47:33,840
the Earth's atmosphere and slowed its

1634
01:47:38,390 --> 01:47:35,639
descent with successful deployments of

1635
01:47:40,850 --> 01:47:38,400
two drug parachutes and four Mains with

1636
01:47:44,450 --> 01:47:40,860
the final Splashdown occurring off the

1637
01:47:45,470 --> 01:47:44,460
coast of Florida at 1 55 p.m Pacific

1638
01:47:47,510 --> 01:47:45,480
time

1639
01:47:50,870 --> 01:47:47,520
now following that successful Splashdown

1640
01:47:53,090 --> 01:47:50,880
we saw SpaceX recovery experts move in

1641
01:47:55,669 --> 01:47:53,100
and prepare dragon freedom for its lift

1642
01:47:57,350 --> 01:47:55,679
onto the recovery vessel and just a

1643
01:47:59,870 --> 01:47:57,360
little less than an hour ago falling

1644
01:48:02,090 --> 01:47:59,880
Splashdown we saw Chell Bob Jessica and

1645
01:48:04,070 --> 01:48:02,100
Samantha make their way out of dragon

1646
01:48:06,470 --> 01:48:04,080
into the recovery ship's medical

1647
01:48:08,870 --> 01:48:06,480
facilities safe and sound

1648
01:48:10,850 --> 01:48:08,880
and next up they'll catch a helicopter

1649
01:48:12,830 --> 01:48:10,860
flight back to shore where they'll

1650
01:48:15,410 --> 01:48:12,840
transfer to aircraft that will take them

1651
01:48:17,090 --> 01:48:15,420
home chill Bob and Jessica and Samantha

1652
01:48:19,370 --> 01:48:17,100
