9
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:38,750
live at the crew Dragon spacecraft on

10
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:41,040
top of a Falcon 9 rocket set to launch

11
00:02:45,410 --> 00:02:43,440
three astronauts and one Cosmonaut to

12
00:02:49,369 --> 00:02:45,420
the International Space Station in a

13
00:02:53,330 --> 00:02:51,229
and welcome to the Kennedy Space Center

14
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:53,340
in Florida for live coverage of NASA and

15
00:02:58,729 --> 00:02:55,920
spacex's launch of cruise six now

16
00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:58,739
streaming in 4K resolution I'm NASA's

17
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:01,440
Daryl nail and with me is NASA astronaut

18
00:03:05,690 --> 00:03:03,720
rajachari great to have you here Colonel

19
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:05,700
super happy to be here Daryl and what a

20
00:03:08,509 --> 00:03:07,200
beautiful night for a launch other than

21
00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:08,519
some mosquitoes you know something

22
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,920
interesting about Raja being here

23
00:03:14,690 --> 00:03:12,480
besides the mosquitoes which are a

24
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:14,700
little bit of a bother is he is actually

25
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:17,760
never witnessed a launch firsthand yeah

26
00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:19,500
so Kayla and I are our first launch was

27
00:03:23,089 --> 00:03:21,720
being on the rocket and so Kayla got to

28
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:23,099
see one now I get to see one live myself

29
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:24,720
so looking forward to seeing it from the

30
00:03:28,729 --> 00:03:27,120
outside we enjoy we are going to enjoy

31
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:28,739
seeing seeing and hearing it through

32
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,780
your perspective as you watch it for the

33
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:32,159
first time but you were you were in the

34
00:03:35,630 --> 00:03:33,720
rockets and that's why you're here to

35
00:03:37,210 --> 00:03:35,640
give us all of that uh I don't get a

36
00:03:40,009 --> 00:03:37,220
whole lot of pity when I tell people

37
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,019
no not at all well let's talk about

38
00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:42,239
Cruise six they are already getting

39
00:03:46,009 --> 00:03:44,159
suited up and we've got a little bit of

40
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,019
video that was recorded earlier less

41
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:48,720
than an hour ago of crew six in that

42
00:03:53,690 --> 00:03:51,780
historic astronaut crew quarters suit up

43
00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:53,700
room and there you see the commander

44
00:04:00,050 --> 00:03:56,700
Stephen Bowen in his seat it is exactly

45
00:04:02,210 --> 00:04:00,060
as the seats are inside the dragon

46
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,220
there's Woody hoberg the pilot for today

47
00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:04,080
yep that's exactly how the foam the

48
00:04:06,589 --> 00:04:05,220
fittings and everything like that are

49
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:06,599
exactly there's Sultan one of the

50
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:08,280
mission Specialists and so what they do

51
00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:10,260
is two by two they pressurize them up

52
00:04:13,130 --> 00:04:12,180
check the Comm system uh and basically

53
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:13,140
are checking to make sure there's no

54
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:14,760
malfunctions in the suit because you'd

55
00:04:17,330 --> 00:04:16,440
rather fix that there than out on the

56
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:17,340
pad

57
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:20,160
absolutely and so they're also connected

58
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:22,320
up there right with those umbilicals

59
00:04:25,249 --> 00:04:23,940
they are just like they are in the

60
00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:25,259
spacecraft so they're checking out the

61
00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:26,880
the suit side umbilical connection make

62
00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:28,020
sure the cooling is working make sure

63
00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:29,580
the comms working

64
00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:30,900
um they take them up to pressure just

65
00:04:33,770 --> 00:04:32,040
like they would in the suit pressure

66
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:33,780
checks and make sure that they there's

67
00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:35,040
two layers of the suit there's a

68
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:36,300
pressure garment and then restraint

69
00:04:39,170 --> 00:04:37,500
garment so they're making sure all the

70
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:39,180
zippers for both those layers are

71
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:40,680
holding correctly before they go out to

72
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,180
the pad good to get them all zipped up

73
00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:44,160
before they go out there to the pad now

74
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:45,960
throughout the broadcast you will hear

75
00:04:50,810 --> 00:04:48,000
pre-launch communication audio between

76
00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:50,820
the core and the astronauts the core is

77
00:04:56,270 --> 00:04:53,400
the crew operations resource engineer

78
00:04:58,430 --> 00:04:56,280
with SpaceX we will try to pause to hear

79
00:05:00,110 --> 00:04:58,440
what that person is saying and so you

80
00:05:01,490 --> 00:05:00,120
can hear what the court is saying you

81
00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:01,500
will also hear others from the launch

82
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,180
Team too including the launch director

83
00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:06,000
the mission director and others in Raja

84
00:05:09,890 --> 00:05:07,620
you remember the back and forth with

85
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:09,900
those individuals and it's really

86
00:05:13,010 --> 00:05:11,400
critical to be able to communicate with

87
00:05:14,450 --> 00:05:13,020
the ground team yeah so you're you we've

88
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:14,460
simmed with these people so by the time

89
00:05:16,969 --> 00:05:15,840
the crew is in here there's the same

90
00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,979
voices they've heard the last few weeks

91
00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:18,960
of the San items and so it's kind of

92
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:20,220
reassuring to hear them again but yeah

93
00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:21,540
there's a whole bunch of ground Loops

94
00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:23,820
that you don't hear in the dragon and

95
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:25,620
they're tying certain people and certain

96
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,880
control loops onto the ones that the

97
00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:28,080
crew can hear and so you're checking all

98
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:29,400
those complaints and you'll hear that

99
00:05:32,029 --> 00:05:30,960
once they get strapped in you'll hear

100
00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:32,039
them going through all those different

101
00:05:35,330 --> 00:05:33,660
systems and that's right before feeling

102
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:35,340
right to get everybody on the same com

103
00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:36,780
Channel exactly just make sure everyone

104
00:05:39,529 --> 00:05:38,460
has a direct calm link to the crew and

105
00:05:41,570 --> 00:05:39,539
the crew has a direct com link to

106
00:05:42,770 --> 00:05:41,580
everyone else and there's various relays

107
00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:42,780
whether it's through satellites or

108
00:05:45,529 --> 00:05:44,520
ground stations or ground connections

109
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:45,539
and you're checking all of those

110
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:47,280
different links all right very good now

111
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:49,020
I'm not going to be the only one asking

112
00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:51,840
you questions Raja though I am love it

113
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:53,340
yeah I love that I get to be able to sit

114
00:05:56,749 --> 00:05:54,960
next to an astronaut and find out all

115
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,759
this fascinating stuff we want to invite

116
00:06:00,830 --> 00:05:58,800
our viewers out there who are watching

117
00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:00,840
to participate so if you would like to

118
00:06:04,730 --> 00:06:02,520
ask Raja a question over the next three

119
00:06:08,210 --> 00:06:04,740
hours jump on our Twitter Facebook

120
00:06:10,850 --> 00:06:08,220
YouTube or twitch channels and send your

121
00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:10,860
question with the hashtag asknasa you

122
00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:12,060
can see it at the bottom of your screen

123
00:06:17,390 --> 00:06:14,460
we look forward to hearing from you and

124
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:17,400
answering your questions tonight

125
00:06:21,529 --> 00:06:19,740
and now we're looking at the doors to

126
00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:21,539
the astronaut crew Quarters here at the

127
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:23,880
Kennedy Space Center the doors where the

128
00:06:29,450 --> 00:06:26,160
astronauts will take their last steps

129
00:06:31,249 --> 00:06:29,460
before they go out on a ride to the

130
00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:31,259
launch pad and the cool thing about that

131
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:32,580
door if you look around the frame of it

132
00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:33,840
you'll see this the mission Patch

133
00:06:36,050 --> 00:06:35,039
stickers of all the other Crews that

134
00:06:38,689 --> 00:06:36,060
have walked through that door so it's

135
00:06:41,029 --> 00:06:38,699
got a long history and proud tradition

136
00:06:43,249 --> 00:06:41,039
of doing that so most likely yesterday

137
00:06:45,469 --> 00:06:43,259
sometime Cruise six slapped their patch

138
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:45,479
up there somewhere and then every time

139
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,160
you come back into those doors it's a

140
00:06:51,590 --> 00:06:49,440
good reminder of the memories and the

141
00:06:53,150 --> 00:06:51,600
mission and that's a long-standing

142
00:06:55,550 --> 00:06:53,160
tradition I think that went back to

143
00:06:57,590 --> 00:06:55,560
shuttle no I think they had to redo the

144
00:06:58,730 --> 00:06:57,600
door so some of those you're exactly

145
00:07:00,409 --> 00:06:58,740
right Daryl so they had to basically

146
00:07:02,090 --> 00:07:00,419
when they redesigned that inside thing

147
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:02,100
the inside Corridor but they do still

148
00:07:05,689 --> 00:07:03,900
have most of those patches actually are

149
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,699
shuttle patches and there's some

150
00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:07,440
traditions as well so inside crew

151
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,880
quarters as they come out of the suit

152
00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:10,800
room more than likely there's a cruise

153
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:12,479
six patch and they would have all signed

154
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:14,580
that and then around that there's also

155
00:07:17,150 --> 00:07:16,080
the previous Mission patches with a

156
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:17,160
sticker and they would have signed their

157
00:07:22,370 --> 00:07:19,740
name around the sticker and now we

158
00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:22,380
expand our view at the operations and

159
00:07:27,529 --> 00:07:25,199
control center here at Kennedy and those

160
00:07:29,870 --> 00:07:27,539
are the Teslas that the astronauts will

161
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:29,880
be traveling to the launch pad in

162
00:07:34,010 --> 00:07:32,400
you might notice these are black and the

163
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:34,020
previous ones were white talk about that

164
00:07:36,529 --> 00:07:35,520
in a second and here they come yep and

165
00:07:37,969 --> 00:07:36,539
there they are heading out and just so

166
00:07:39,409 --> 00:07:37,979
just to Steve's left is where they would

167
00:07:40,909 --> 00:07:39,419
have signed the patch already probably

168
00:07:42,650 --> 00:07:40,919
did that this morning you can see uh the

169
00:07:45,409 --> 00:07:42,660
chief of the astronaut office Joe acaba

170
00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:45,419
uh just behind them yeah there's a Woody

171
00:07:49,309 --> 00:07:47,280
and Stephen and then Behind The Mandrell

172
00:07:53,930 --> 00:07:49,319
Sultan right and then Norm knights in

173
00:07:58,249 --> 00:07:55,610
about to step into crew walkout we

174
00:08:01,730 --> 00:07:59,809
so you can see that poster behind them

175
00:08:02,870 --> 00:08:01,740
has been signed by tons of people on the

176
00:08:04,189 --> 00:08:02,880
launch Team so you can see the picture

177
00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:04,199
but then all around it is signatures

178
00:08:07,730 --> 00:08:06,120
which was a kind of a cool surprise uh

179
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:07,740
to see they don't see that until that

180
00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:09,060
moment when they get in the elevator and

181
00:08:11,809 --> 00:08:10,620
then see all those signatures and when

182
00:08:13,309 --> 00:08:11,819
you walked in there you saw those

183
00:08:15,170 --> 00:08:13,319
signatures you knew these were people

184
00:08:17,089 --> 00:08:15,180
that worked on your mission to get it

185
00:08:20,290 --> 00:08:17,099
ready exactly so it's people from JSC

186
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:20,300
KSC the course recruit program

187
00:08:29,330 --> 00:08:27,350
no waving with the doors are closing

188
00:08:33,050 --> 00:08:29,340
yeah that's right oh they got plenty of

189
00:08:35,810 --> 00:08:33,060
margins so I think they'll be all right

190
00:08:37,550 --> 00:08:35,820
so we have lots for you as we wait for

191
00:08:39,709 --> 00:08:37,560
the astronauts to walk out that front

192
00:08:41,329 --> 00:08:39,719
door in the cosmonaut in addition to

193
00:08:43,550 --> 00:08:41,339
raja's analysis coming up we'll have

194
00:08:45,769 --> 00:08:43,560
live updates from Mission Control in

195
00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:45,779
Houston hello Houston and live

196
00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:47,640
interviews from our VIP viewing location

197
00:08:53,810 --> 00:08:51,420
here at Kennedy and as well we will

198
00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:53,820
welcome in SpaceX live from Hawthorne

199
00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,760
California at T minus one hour but right

200
00:09:01,910 --> 00:08:58,800
now we're focused back on those front

201
00:09:04,009 --> 00:09:01,920
door doors and well that's the license

202
00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:04,019
plate to the Teslas that are headed out

203
00:09:10,009 --> 00:09:06,300
to the pad and you'll see that it is a

204
00:09:13,009 --> 00:09:10,019
nod to crew dragon and crew six notice

205
00:09:15,230 --> 00:09:13,019
the G is actually the number six

206
00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:15,240
that's very cool yeah I didn't uh I've

207
00:09:18,769 --> 00:09:16,620
seen our video of walk out multiple

208
00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:18,779
times and it's ours was send it with the

209
00:09:22,009 --> 00:09:20,220
three as an as an e and I thought

210
00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:22,019
everyone had said it I didn't realize

211
00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:24,000
that it was uh it was Christmas yeah I

212
00:09:26,449 --> 00:09:24,959
thought it was I thought everyone got a

213
00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:26,459
three

214
00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:28,860
it's a nice touch that SpaceX adds to

215
00:09:32,389 --> 00:09:31,380
the ride out and allows the crew as you

216
00:09:33,769 --> 00:09:32,399
know

217
00:09:36,050 --> 00:09:33,779
um to select what they're going to have

218
00:09:37,730 --> 00:09:36,060
in addition to designing that mission

219
00:09:40,009 --> 00:09:37,740
patch and we're going to talk more about

220
00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:40,019
that uh Raja I know you had a lot of

221
00:09:43,370 --> 00:09:41,580
involvement with the design of your

222
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:43,380
patch and we'll get into that a little

223
00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:44,880
bit later in the show but we want to be

224
00:09:49,190 --> 00:09:47,160
focused here you can see the crowd that

225
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:49,200
has gathered

226
00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:51,240
yep and so right now you've seen a mix

227
00:09:56,090 --> 00:09:54,360
of family friends loved ones uh and then

228
00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:56,100
there's some folks that are in

229
00:09:58,970 --> 00:09:57,360
quarantine not in quarantine so they

230
00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:58,980
basically got set up differently uh but

231
00:10:02,329 --> 00:10:00,240
that's a chance for the crew to see

232
00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:02,339
family and friends uh right before they

233
00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:04,500
head out to the pad in the Tesla and I

234
00:10:07,550 --> 00:10:06,180
spy an astronaut peeking out the window

235
00:10:10,430 --> 00:10:07,560
yeah

236
00:10:12,050 --> 00:10:10,440
I thought that good eyes it's all as you

237
00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:12,060
can imagine very choreographed time-wise

238
00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:13,680
because everything's at a very tight

239
00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:15,360
timeline

240
00:10:18,889 --> 00:10:17,519
so when they get the signal they'll cut

241
00:10:20,570 --> 00:10:18,899
on out you can see the bigger view there

242
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:20,580
of sort of the that's the What's called

243
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:22,260
the onc building

244
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:24,000
um and the the third floor of that

245
00:10:26,269 --> 00:10:25,260
building is where crew quarters are at

246
00:10:28,070 --> 00:10:26,279
but the rest of the building is actually

247
00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:28,080
an office and a work building and

248
00:10:31,190 --> 00:10:29,519
there's there's actually engineering

249
00:10:33,530 --> 00:10:31,200
like actual manufacturing going on that

250
00:10:34,910 --> 00:10:33,540
building some some floors or offices and

251
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:34,920
this happens at one of the floors is the

252
00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:36,480
crew quarters where they go into

253
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,620
quarantine and that's where the suit up

254
00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:39,600
room is at as well that's a sprawling

255
00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:42,959
crew quarters 26 000 feet features 23

256
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:45,300
bedrooms access of course restricted

257
00:10:47,750 --> 00:10:46,320
when the astronauts are there because

258
00:10:49,490 --> 00:10:47,760
you're under quarantine yep it's kind of

259
00:10:51,889 --> 00:10:49,500
like a little mini Hotel basically like

260
00:10:53,930 --> 00:10:51,899
the wing of a hotel a hotel or dorm room

261
00:10:55,790 --> 00:10:53,940
uh more of a dorm yeah I would say not a

262
00:10:59,630 --> 00:10:55,800
yeah definitely don't have any visions

263
00:11:17,329 --> 00:11:01,670
so we expect them to walk out any moment

264
00:11:32,829 --> 00:11:18,829
foreign

265
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:36,410
and here they come crew six taking their

266
00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:38,640
first steps outside before their journey

267
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:46,550
from left to right we have Andre fed yev

268
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:48,240
Woody hoberg

269
00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:49,920
Stephen Bowen

270
00:12:00,050 --> 00:11:56,930
and now they'll stand in front of their

271
00:12:03,829 --> 00:12:01,550
and have some

272
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:03,839
Exchange

273
00:12:07,550 --> 00:12:06,000
you remember this moment I do so we've

274
00:12:08,750 --> 00:12:07,560
had some time with the the families and

275
00:12:10,370 --> 00:12:08,760
friends prior

276
00:12:11,449 --> 00:12:10,380
um where you actually especially for the

277
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:11,459
folks who are in quarantine kind of give

278
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,200
blast hugs and stuff like that but this

279
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:15,600
is sort of a one last chance to say uh

280
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:18,180
say bye uh you know maybe some some long

281
00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:19,680
distance hugs

282
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:21,360
um and then sometimes we'll also be some

283
00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:23,279
NASA headquarters officials down there

284
00:12:26,690 --> 00:12:25,260
as well so basically a chance just to

285
00:12:27,889 --> 00:12:26,700
everyone get eyes on the cruise up to

286
00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:27,899
this point you've been in quarantine the

287
00:12:30,889 --> 00:12:29,040
whole time

288
00:12:33,050 --> 00:12:30,899
um and and even with the families here

289
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:33,060
on a very tight schedule so it's just a

290
00:12:36,290 --> 00:12:34,800
little bit of a break before you have to

291
00:13:02,449 --> 00:12:36,300
get in the car

292
00:13:07,129 --> 00:13:04,970
see astronaut Shannon Walker to the far

293
00:13:08,930 --> 00:13:07,139
far left of the screen she's the vehicle

294
00:13:10,370 --> 00:13:08,940
integration and test office lead for

295
00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:10,380
crew six

296
00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:12,000
also

297
00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:19,850
yep and then Shannon and Joe have been

298
00:13:23,629 --> 00:13:21,720
have done this drill more than a few

299
00:13:25,730 --> 00:13:23,639
times so they're uh they've got this

300
00:13:28,670 --> 00:13:25,740
down to a science

301
00:13:32,569 --> 00:13:28,680
Shannon was our first dragonflyer to be

302
00:13:32,579 --> 00:13:36,290
review

303
00:13:41,329 --> 00:13:37,850
and uh

304
00:13:43,730 --> 00:13:41,339
that's a United area yep

305
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:43,740
yep and so yeah you got to zaw standing

306
00:13:47,750 --> 00:13:45,600
there who I believe was also escorting

307
00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:47,760
Sultan's family and friends

308
00:13:51,949 --> 00:13:49,040

and so he flew he was the first UAE

310
00:13:56,449 --> 00:13:54,120
astronaut actually

311
00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:56,459
this is NASA's first partnership with

312
00:14:00,290 --> 00:13:58,800
the UAE on the flight yeah that's a

313
00:14:02,569 --> 00:14:00,300
really important Point yeah

314
00:14:04,190 --> 00:14:02,579
first time we've had a UAE astronaut on

315
00:14:06,530 --> 00:14:04,200
a dragon and first time we've had them

316
00:14:11,269 --> 00:14:06,540
fly to the the USI the the space station

317
00:14:15,290 --> 00:14:13,430
now in the first Tesla which is off

318
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:15,300
screen that that will have the closeout

319
00:14:19,550 --> 00:14:17,820
lead and two suit technicians the second

320
00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:19,560
one which is the one on the right senior

321
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:20,399
screen

322
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:24,480
that'll have the commander and the pilot

323
00:14:28,850 --> 00:14:26,940
of course is Stephen Bowen Woody hoberg

324
00:14:31,610 --> 00:14:28,860
they'll also have a flight surgeon with

325
00:14:33,889 --> 00:14:31,620
them and then the third which is the one

326
00:14:37,129 --> 00:14:33,899
on the left

327
00:14:38,690 --> 00:14:37,139
that'll have the two Mission specialists

328
00:14:40,329 --> 00:14:38,700
and the closeout lead the second

329
00:14:43,069 --> 00:14:40,339
closeout lead and of course that's

so ninja number 19 there Sarah

332
00:14:49,310 --> 00:14:47,339
Stringfellow she's one of the the key

333
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:49,320
SpaceX folks that helps integrate all

334
00:14:52,670 --> 00:14:51,300
this and so you'll see the we call them

335
00:14:54,170 --> 00:14:52,680
the ninjas in the black outfits

336
00:14:56,090 --> 00:14:54,180
throughout the night the ninja number 12

337
00:14:57,769 --> 00:14:56,100
is actually Nick Hague of the astronaut

338
00:14:59,930 --> 00:14:57,779
office but that's all the various

339
00:15:01,850 --> 00:14:59,940
members of the closeout team uh that

340
00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:01,860
will help when they get to the into the

341
00:15:05,329 --> 00:15:03,600
white room and the crew access arm and

342
00:15:07,550 --> 00:15:05,339
around the vehicle itself

343
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:07,560
getting a round of applause now as they

344
00:15:12,889 --> 00:15:09,600
get into their vehicles you mentioned

345
00:15:15,290 --> 00:15:12,899
Nick Hague wearing number 12. he's

346
00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:15,300
currently in the position of astronaut

347
00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:22,850
yeah and the reason uh so yeah we always

348
00:15:26,329 --> 00:15:24,120
have an astronaut support person as part

349
00:15:28,490 --> 00:15:26,339
of the close art crew just to help with

350
00:15:29,810 --> 00:15:28,500
uh any little things that pop up and

351
00:15:31,850 --> 00:15:29,820
it's kind of nice to have someone who's

352
00:15:32,509 --> 00:15:31,860
gone through this before

353
00:15:36,530 --> 00:15:32,519
um

354
00:15:38,569 --> 00:15:36,540
just a any last minute ads or asks you

355
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:38,579
mentioned there's a flight dock in each

356
00:15:42,290 --> 00:15:40,079
of these cars so when they get in

357
00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:42,300
they're actually hooking them up to

358
00:15:46,009 --> 00:15:44,639
cooling so they've got a cooling box to

359
00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:46,019
keep the suit cool because it does get

360
00:15:53,449 --> 00:15:47,760
pretty hot especially on a warm humid

361
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:55,310
and what uh

362
00:15:59,090 --> 00:15:56,699
well if you're gonna have an astronaut

363
00:16:03,889 --> 00:15:59,100
be a astronaut support person Nick Hague

364
00:16:09,470 --> 00:16:07,129
the launch aboard in 2018 you know this

365
00:16:10,910 --> 00:16:09,480
is a guy who's he's seen yeah he's seen

366
00:16:13,069 --> 00:16:10,920
some stuff yeah

367
00:16:14,509 --> 00:16:13,079
you heard the the core there call that

368
00:16:15,650 --> 00:16:14,519
launch displays like those plays are

369
00:16:17,870 --> 00:16:15,660
configured for launch which basically is

370
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,880
telling the control team that the the

loving them it's a it's obviously a a

408
00:17:53,150 --> 00:17:52,020
awesome time you're so proud that we've

this point but also you know all as with

411
00:17:59,450 --> 00:17:57,660
everything also just concern but I think

412
00:18:01,370 --> 00:17:59,460
just uh you know one of the things that

413
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:01,380
I think my family really appreciated was

414
00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:03,600
just how much support they got from the

415
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:05,460
team around them and it made them feel

416
00:18:18,770 --> 00:18:07,200
really confident that we the same

417
00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:20,150
there we go pulling out of the

418
00:18:26,450 --> 00:18:22,799
operations in control

419
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:32,390
three Teslas on the way to the pad

420
00:18:36,590 --> 00:18:34,130
and we've got a camera

421
00:18:40,010 --> 00:18:36,600
on the lead test level this is an

422
00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:42,350
we enjoy seeing that view we also have a

423
00:18:48,650 --> 00:18:44,460
helicopter high above that will be

424
00:18:52,970 --> 00:18:50,990
this is a night launch so a lot of

425
00:18:54,289 --> 00:18:52,980
things will be in the dark but one of

426
00:18:57,049 --> 00:18:54,299
the things about the night launch is

427
00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:57,059
that uh you get to see that Lit Up crew

428
00:19:00,770 --> 00:18:58,320
access arm and you can see the

429
00:19:02,570 --> 00:19:00,780

430
00:19:03,950 --> 00:19:02,580
the launch Tower it's it's neat to see

431
00:19:05,090 --> 00:19:03,960
yep there's a view of the helicopter you

432
00:19:07,190 --> 00:19:05,100
can see going left right at the top of

433
00:19:09,049 --> 00:19:07,200
the screen as it flies over more than

434
00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:09,059

going up there today and like you said

553
00:23:26,029 --> 00:23:24,600
just starting the the just the

554
00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:26,039
beginnings of a new partnership with the

555
00:23:29,810 --> 00:23:28,320
OE at UAE and now in the new class we

556
00:23:31,669 --> 00:23:29,820
have two additional UAE astronauts

557
00:23:33,289 --> 00:23:31,679
training with us fully integrated uh

558
00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:33,299
with us at Johnson Space Center so this

559
00:23:38,090 --> 00:23:35,580
is the the start of a huge relationship

560
00:23:40,010 --> 00:23:38,100
and many launches to come in that

561
00:23:41,810 --> 00:23:40,020
partnership it's also the first trip to

562
00:23:44,690 --> 00:23:41,820
space for the second mission specialist

563
00:23:47,270 --> 00:23:44,700
Ross Cosmos Cosmonaut Andre fedjiev

564
00:23:49,850 --> 00:23:47,280
Andre was selected as a Cosmonaut back

565
00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:49,860
in 2012 he will be working to monitor

566
00:23:53,810 --> 00:23:51,600
the spacecraft during the dynamic launch

567
00:23:55,130 --> 00:23:53,820
and re-entry phases of flight and wants

568
00:23:58,850 --> 00:23:55,140
aboard station he will be a flight

569
00:24:01,549 --> 00:23:58,860
engineer for expeditions 68 and 69. yeah

570
00:24:04,190 --> 00:24:01,559
and Andre uh great to see another first

571
00:24:05,870 --> 00:24:04,200
time flyer so much like our mission uh

572
00:24:07,250 --> 00:24:05,880
one Commander with experience someone

573
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:07,260
with experience and then three rookies

574
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:09,000
so very much a testament to the training

575
00:24:13,730 --> 00:24:11,520
on both the Ross Cosmos and JSC side and

576
00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:13,740
the NASA side of of being able to send

577
00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:15,780
that many rookies on one flight just uh

578
00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:17,520
the confidence and Trust we have in our

579
00:24:22,250 --> 00:24:19,679
training teams and our our systems and

580
00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:22,260
oh by the way today is Andre's 42nd

581
00:24:26,390 --> 00:24:24,539
birthday happy birthday he's quite the

582
00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:26,400
candle yes for his day

583
00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:27,900
the best birthday present you could get

584
00:24:31,130 --> 00:24:29,580
no doubt

585
00:24:32,510 --> 00:24:31,140
that they must be getting close because

586
00:24:35,570 --> 00:24:32,520
the helicopters coming by the Preston

587
00:24:37,370 --> 00:24:35,580
that's right you can hear it overhead

588
00:24:39,710 --> 00:24:37,380
that's where we are just across from the

589
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:39,720
Vehicle Assembly Building as you look at

590
00:24:43,970 --> 00:24:42,240
the Caravan coming our way

591
00:24:46,010 --> 00:24:43,980
getting ready to pass in front of the

592
00:24:49,610 --> 00:24:46,020
historic VAB where

593
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:49,620
just last year in November we rolled out

594
00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:52,320
the Artemis One mission

595
00:24:56,690 --> 00:24:54,260
the space launch system and Orion

596
00:24:59,270 --> 00:24:56,700
spacecraft drive that building right

597
00:25:01,909 --> 00:24:59,280
there for a successful launch around the

598
00:25:04,789 --> 00:25:01,919
moon and your fellow Turtle Kayla Baron

599
00:25:06,890 --> 00:25:04,799
was here as well no I was not I watched

600
00:25:08,930 --> 00:25:06,900
I watched uh TV and then that building

601
00:25:10,669 --> 00:25:08,940
just to the right of the VAB the the

602
00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:10,679
bore horizontal looking one is the fire

603
00:25:14,810 --> 00:25:13,020
the firing room so that's actually where

604
00:25:22,430 --> 00:25:14,820
the KSC Personnel are watching and

605
00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:23,990
what you can see as they're passing

606
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:25,440
there there's some uh

607
00:25:31,070 --> 00:25:27,600
folks waving and wishing them good luck

608
00:25:34,610 --> 00:25:32,930
you mentioned the launch control center

609
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:34,620
that's where firing room four is and

610
00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:36,720
SpaceX has got their launch Team but

611
00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:39,120
just to the right of this Caravan here

612
00:25:43,310 --> 00:25:41,760
is the turn basin

613
00:25:45,049 --> 00:25:43,320
can't see the water but it's a large

614
00:25:46,970 --> 00:25:45,059
body of water that's where we bring in

615
00:25:49,789 --> 00:25:46,980
big Hardware

616
00:25:52,490 --> 00:25:49,799
like the core stage for SLS

617
00:25:54,890 --> 00:25:52,500
and it's also where several weeks ago

618
00:25:57,529 --> 00:25:54,900
Raja NASA's recovery team was in the

619
00:25:59,870 --> 00:25:57,539
water training to return NASA astronauts

620
00:26:02,450 --> 00:25:59,880
after a flight back from the Moon

621
00:26:05,930 --> 00:26:02,460
let's take a look now at more in our

622
00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:08,149
right now NASA scientists and Engineers

623
00:26:12,830 --> 00:26:11,039
are preparing for Artemis 2. the mission

624
00:26:15,710 --> 00:26:12,840
will send four astronauts on a trip

625
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:15,720
around the moon in 2024 but before that

626
00:26:19,970 --> 00:26:18,120
happens test crews are practicing how to

627
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:19,980
recover astronauts from the Orion

628
00:26:23,810 --> 00:26:22,320
spacecraft after splashing down in the

629
00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:23,820
Pacific Ocean

630
00:26:29,029 --> 00:26:26,400
this black full-scale replica capsule

631
00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:29,039
named Vader stands for vehicle advance

632
00:26:33,470 --> 00:26:31,919
demonstrator for emergency rescue it

633
00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:33,480
spent the last couple of weeks in the

634
00:26:38,690 --> 00:26:35,039
turn Basin here at the Kennedy Space

635
00:26:41,330 --> 00:26:38,700
Center where it was floated on the water

636
00:26:43,789 --> 00:26:41,340
and tested

637
00:26:46,430 --> 00:26:43,799
Crews practice opening the hatch and

638
00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:46,440
installing an inflatable porch an

639
00:26:50,149 --> 00:26:48,000
important piece of equipment to make

640
00:26:53,390 --> 00:26:50,159
sure astronauts can be recovered safely

641
00:26:55,070 --> 00:26:53,400
if needed adjustments will be made and

642
00:26:57,350 --> 00:26:55,080
then it will be shipped to San Diego

643
00:27:04,789 --> 00:26:57,360
where NASA and the Navy can perform

644
00:27:09,950 --> 00:27:07,490
some key technology there Raja you want

645
00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:09,960
to be able to get out of that Orion

646
00:27:14,870 --> 00:27:13,200
spacecraft and not fall in the water

647
00:27:16,370 --> 00:27:14,880
exactly yeah so especially when you're

648
00:27:18,769 --> 00:27:16,380
coming back from space and being

649
00:27:21,230 --> 00:27:18,779
deconditioned uh your balance is off

650
00:27:23,210 --> 00:27:21,240
your muscles aren't quite this work the

651
00:27:24,769 --> 00:27:23,220
same so we spend you know it's not quite

652
00:27:26,330 --> 00:27:24,779
as easy as getting out of a boat when

653
00:27:27,529 --> 00:27:26,340
you're in good shape so we have to spend

654
00:27:29,630 --> 00:27:27,539
a lot of time trying to figure out and

655
00:27:31,970 --> 00:27:29,640
how do you simulate that how do you make

656
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:31,980
the right you know restraints and tools

657
00:27:36,169 --> 00:27:33,360
for the crew to get out quickly if they

658
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:36,179
have to and to do it safely it'd be even

659
00:27:39,649 --> 00:27:37,500
worse if you know someone Falls and

660
00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:39,659
slips and now a bad situation has gotten

661
00:27:43,310 --> 00:27:41,640
gotten even worse and so we do a very

662
00:27:45,169 --> 00:27:43,320
similar thing for the dragon training

663
00:27:46,850 --> 00:27:45,179
the combination of training at the NBL

664
00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:46,860
which is the neutral buoyancy Lab at

665
00:27:50,330 --> 00:27:48,480
Johnson Space Center and then also out

666
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:50,340
here at Kennedy in that Basin great

667
00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:51,600
point about the condition of the

668
00:27:56,029 --> 00:27:53,279
astronauts especially since being on

669
00:27:57,890 --> 00:27:56,039
Orion that's tight quarters going around

670
00:28:00,110 --> 00:27:57,900
the moon I want to mention really

671
00:28:01,789 --> 00:28:00,120
quickly if you want to see more Artemis

672
00:28:04,130 --> 00:28:01,799
updates and track them as we go along

673
00:28:06,529 --> 00:28:04,140
the way please see the QR code right now

674
00:28:08,330 --> 00:28:06,539
to the right of your screen you can scan

675
00:28:10,549 --> 00:28:08,340
that that'll take you to our Artemis

676
00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:10,559
blog where you can catch up with all the

677
00:28:20,330 --> 00:28:18,110
and now we resume our focus on crew six

678
00:28:24,289 --> 00:28:20,340
and the Caravan that's taking them out

679
00:28:28,250 --> 00:28:24,299
to launch complex 39a

680
00:28:30,890 --> 00:28:28,260
one quick note I do want to mention Raja

681
00:28:32,090 --> 00:28:30,900
before we totally rap artists in a few

682
00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:32,100
months

683
00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:34,740
we're going to have the announcement

684
00:28:38,570 --> 00:28:37,380
for the crew of Artemis 2. yeah so it's

685
00:28:40,430 --> 00:28:38,580
going to be a pretty uh everyone's

686
00:28:41,930 --> 00:28:40,440
pretty excited to hear that I think one

687
00:28:44,090 --> 00:28:41,940
of the cool things about being in our

688
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:44,100
office I think most of us the reason we

689
00:28:47,330 --> 00:28:45,600
like working at our office is just the

690
00:28:48,830 --> 00:28:47,340
people and so we're all excited to see

691
00:28:50,149 --> 00:28:48,840
who's going to be doing artist two and

692
00:28:52,310 --> 00:28:50,159
all ready to jump in and support them

693
00:28:54,529 --> 00:28:52,320
it's going to be amazing as they suss

694
00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:54,539
out and figure out the training flow uh

695
00:28:58,010 --> 00:28:56,159
as you like you mentioned we just had a

696
00:28:59,510 --> 00:28:58,020
greatly successful Artemis one and now

697
00:29:00,950 --> 00:28:59,520
the next step is to put people on board

698
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:00,960
check out the what we call the eclipse

699
00:29:04,490 --> 00:29:02,760
or the I can the life control system on

700
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:04,500
that spacecraft go around the moon go

701
00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:06,000
further than we've ever gone as humans

702
00:29:09,409 --> 00:29:07,919
before and then come back and and check

703
00:29:11,390 --> 00:29:09,419
out the splashed out and check out all

704
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:11,400
those systems Before The Next Step of

705
00:29:14,870 --> 00:29:12,720
actually going to land on the moon so

706
00:29:16,669 --> 00:29:14,880
it's a very exciting time and can't wait

707
00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:16,679
to support the folks who are doing that

708
00:29:19,370 --> 00:29:18,299
we all we already do support that and

709
00:29:21,049 --> 00:29:19,380
the fact that most of us are working on

710
00:29:22,430 --> 00:29:21,059
armist programs that's really our job in

711
00:29:24,110 --> 00:29:22,440
the office is you know whether it's the

712
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:24,120
lunar lander the Orion capsule the

713
00:29:28,909 --> 00:29:27,360
Gateway habitat the SLS so actually

714
00:29:30,970 --> 00:29:28,919
having crew assign and working will be

715
00:29:35,409 --> 00:29:30,980
great are those are your fingers crossed

716
00:29:39,289 --> 00:29:37,970
yeah I'd love to be part of that but uh

717
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:39,299
just the fact that we're all working on

718
00:29:44,090 --> 00:29:42,240
it is so rewarding absolutely well let's

719
00:29:45,169 --> 00:29:44,100
check in now for the first time head

720
00:29:47,389 --> 00:29:45,179
back to

721
00:29:49,310 --> 00:29:47,399
where you live the Johnson Space Center

722
00:29:51,350 --> 00:29:49,320
in Houston Texas and that's where we

723
00:29:52,850 --> 00:29:51,360
find our Courtney Beasley with an update

724
00:29:55,549 --> 00:29:52,860
from Mission Control good evening

725
00:29:59,029 --> 00:29:57,529
good evening and welcome to the

726
00:30:01,310 --> 00:29:59,039
International Space Station flight

727
00:30:03,649 --> 00:30:01,320
control room at NASA's Johnson Space

728
00:30:05,450 --> 00:30:03,659
Center in Houston Texas Mission Control

729
00:30:07,250 --> 00:30:05,460
Houston is essentially the nerve center

730
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:07,260
for operating the International Space

731
00:30:11,389 --> 00:30:09,600
Station working in tandem with our

732
00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:11,399
partner agencies and providers around

733
00:30:15,529 --> 00:30:13,440
the globe together we've ensured the

734
00:30:17,570 --> 00:30:15,539

00:30:21,529 --> 00:30:20,039
now is flight director Mike Lammers and

737
00:30:23,389 --> 00:30:21,539
about an hour before launch flight

738
00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:23,399
director Chris Dobbins will be in the

739
00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:25,200
flight director's seat the flight

740
00:30:29,930 --> 00:30:26,880
director here in Mission Control will

00:30:31,310 --> 00:30:29,940
lead the NASA SpaceX go no-go polls once

742
00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:31,320
we're in integrated operations with

743
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:33,360
Mission controls here in Houston and at

744
00:30:37,730 --> 00:30:35,760
SpaceX in Hawthorne working together to

745
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:37,740
bring crew Dragon to its new home in

746
00:30:41,570 --> 00:30:39,960
space when we check back in later we'll

747
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:41,580
talk a little bit more about what the

748
00:30:45,409 --> 00:30:43,200
crew on the International Space Station

749
00:30:47,149 --> 00:30:45,419
has been doing to prepare for cruise six

750
00:30:49,610 --> 00:30:47,159
but for now we'll send it back to the

751
00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:49,620
team at Kennedy Daryl thank you Courtney

752
00:30:55,010 --> 00:30:52,320
and as we look back to the crew with

753
00:30:57,110 --> 00:30:55,020
that live camera on the Tesla that was

754
00:30:59,450 --> 00:30:57,120
really neat to see that shot driving up

755
00:31:01,070 --> 00:30:59,460
and seeing a rocket dead yeah that is a

756
00:31:02,450 --> 00:31:01,080
cool yeah that's an awesome dude we'll

757
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:02,460
see what they're seeing and the crew got

758
00:31:06,230 --> 00:31:04,440
to go do this uh usually a day prior to

759
00:31:08,450 --> 00:31:06,240
go do a pad tour but now seeing it with

760
00:31:09,710 --> 00:31:08,460
the lights on uh with the you know

761
00:31:13,250 --> 00:31:09,720
getting ready to start loading prop here

762
00:31:17,690 --> 00:31:15,710
and depending on how the the you

763
00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:17,700
mentioned there's a flight surgeon and

764
00:31:21,230 --> 00:31:19,860
uh closeout crew with them in the

765
00:31:23,510 --> 00:31:21,240
vehicle the other thing they're doing is

766
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:23,520
uh monitoring their playlist so if ever

767
00:31:26,510 --> 00:31:24,960
if everything is nominal and

768
00:31:28,549 --> 00:31:26,520
everything's fine with the suit and

769
00:31:30,950 --> 00:31:28,559
things like that their other job is to

770
00:31:33,409 --> 00:31:30,960
to curate the the playlist for the crew

771
00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:33,419
to try to time it such that their uh

772
00:31:36,669 --> 00:31:35,279
their playlist is working out what the

773
00:31:39,289 --> 00:31:36,679
time they pull up it's it's finishing

774
00:31:40,549 --> 00:31:39,299
and some good effort and fun goes into

775
00:31:41,870 --> 00:31:40,559
picking the songs they listen to on the

776
00:31:43,789 --> 00:31:41,880
drive out Yeah you mentioned that the

777
00:31:46,190 --> 00:31:43,799
playlist we got them from Dan Hewitt

778
00:31:47,750 --> 00:31:46,200
over at uh Johnson he mentioned that uh

779
00:31:50,750 --> 00:31:47,760
Stephen Woody let's talk a little bit

780
00:31:52,970 --> 00:31:50,760
about their playlist right so theirs was

781
00:31:55,850 --> 00:31:52,980
uh they had some really good songs in

782
00:31:58,669 --> 00:31:55,860
there traveling Band by CCR Credence

783
00:32:00,649 --> 00:31:58,679
Clearwater Revival may we all

784
00:32:03,470 --> 00:32:00,659
by the Florida Georgia Line with Tim

785
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:03,480
McGraw the space Travelers Lullaby by

786
00:32:08,210 --> 00:32:05,700
kamasi Washington he's an American Jazz

787
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:08,220
saxophonist sing me to sleep by Alan

788
00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:11,640
Walker Spaceman by Harry Nilsson that's

789
00:32:15,409 --> 00:32:13,440
an American singer popular during the

790
00:32:17,149 --> 00:32:15,419
70s you might remember everybody's

791
00:32:19,909 --> 00:32:17,159
talking at me I kind of think Bowen

792
00:32:20,930 --> 00:32:19,919
picked that one pad we remain on

793
00:32:22,610 --> 00:32:20,940
schedule

794
00:32:25,130 --> 00:32:22,620
all right there's your announcement that

795
00:32:29,810 --> 00:32:25,140
the corps uh just put out that the crew

796
00:32:33,769 --> 00:32:31,070
yeah and you mentioned so when they

797
00:32:35,630 --> 00:32:33,779
drove out they're in two vehicles uh so

798
00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:35,640
what we'll eventually see is they'll be

799
00:32:39,950 --> 00:32:37,760
in two groups because they go two by two

800
00:32:41,149 --> 00:32:39,960
crossed into crew access arm and through

801
00:32:43,549 --> 00:32:41,159
this whole process so basically we'll

802
00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:43,559
see uh Woody and Steve do something and

803
00:32:46,789 --> 00:32:44,760
then a few minutes later we'll see

804
00:32:49,730 --> 00:32:46,799
Sultan and Andre do the exact same thing

805
00:32:51,710 --> 00:32:49,740
so they'll be sort of broken up in pairs

806
00:32:53,870 --> 00:32:51,720
and so they continue to rock out real

807
00:32:55,850 --> 00:32:53,880
quick with Sultan and Andre's playlist A

808
00:32:57,950 --> 00:32:55,860
Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay Don't Stop

809
00:33:00,049 --> 00:32:57,960
Believing by Journey and push it to the

813
00:33:11,510 --> 00:33:07,740
there that's my kind of my kindness

814
00:33:13,490 --> 00:33:11,520
crew six is NASA and spacex's six uh

815
00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:13,500
sixth crew rotation to the International

816
00:33:17,810 --> 00:33:16,260
Space Station since 2020. this

817
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:17,820
successful NASA program is called

818
00:33:21,409 --> 00:33:19,440
commercial crew and it's based right

819
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:21,419
here at the Kennedy Space Center so now

820
00:33:25,310 --> 00:33:23,220
we want to turn over to Jasmine Hopkins

821
00:33:27,409 --> 00:33:25,320
who is joining us live now with one of

822
00:33:29,870 --> 00:33:27,419
the leaders of this program Jasmine

823
00:33:31,310 --> 00:33:29,880
thanks so much Daryl we are here on the

824
00:33:33,649 --> 00:33:31,320

825
00:33:35,210 --> 00:33:33,659
building number two at Kennedy it feels

826
00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:35,220
great tonight and right now I'm happy to

827
00:33:39,289 --> 00:33:37,320
be joined by Ken Bowersox he is the

828
00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:39,299
Deputy associate administrator for

829
00:33:43,549 --> 00:33:41,460
NASA's space operations Mission director

830
00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:43,559
at good evening Ken hi Jasmine it's

831
00:33:46,669 --> 00:33:45,179
great to be out here tonight yeah we're

832
00:33:48,950 --> 00:33:46,679
so glad to have you here as we just

833
00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:48,960
heard Daryl say this is the sixth crew

834
00:33:53,210 --> 00:33:51,120
rotation flight from NASA and SpaceX to

835
00:33:54,169 --> 00:33:53,220
the space station since 2020. what do

836
00:33:55,789 --> 00:33:54,179
you think of that Cadence that

837
00:33:57,350 --> 00:33:55,799
commercial crew has achieved I think

838
00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:57,360
it's awesome you know we're launching

839
00:34:03,049 --> 00:33:59,760
every six months that was the plan going

840
00:34:04,730 --> 00:34:03,059
in it's been our plan for a long time I

841
00:34:07,070 --> 00:34:04,740
think folks may not appreciate how hard

842
00:34:09,710 --> 00:34:07,080
it is but the team has been very

843
00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:09,720
successful keep open up that Cadence but

844
00:34:12,349 --> 00:34:11,040
I look back you know in the early days

845
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:12,359
of space station we thought three months

846
00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:14,280
would be a long Mission and now six

847
00:34:19,129 --> 00:34:16,260
months is just normal one year is longer

848
00:34:20,930 --> 00:34:19,139
you know when we go to Mars two three

849
00:34:22,609 --> 00:34:20,940
years it's going to be normal and and

850
00:34:24,169 --> 00:34:22,619
this is all part of getting there right

851
00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:24,179
exactly and every six months you know

852
00:34:27,950 --> 00:34:25,679
commercial crew is really keeping us

853
00:34:29,810 --> 00:34:27,960
busy right now uh what can you say about

854
00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:29,820
the continuous presence of the United

855
00:34:36,050 --> 00:34:33,599
States on the space station well um it's

856
00:34:37,790 --> 00:34:36,060
great to be up there doing science every

857
00:34:39,530 --> 00:34:37,800
day the team is doing some sort of

858
00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:39,540
science keeping the space station flying

859
00:34:44,810 --> 00:34:42,000
but it's given us the experience we need

860
00:34:47,329 --> 00:34:44,820
again to go to Mars the longer we're in

861
00:34:49,669 --> 00:34:47,339
Space the more we learn and that

862
00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:49,679
prepares us for that eventual trip away

863
00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:51,899
from Earth and and on out into the solar

864
00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:54,240
system right and we're going deeper than

865
00:34:57,589 --> 00:34:56,159
we have before right now I mean NASA is

866
00:34:59,450 --> 00:34:57,599
no longer the only player we have a lot

867
00:35:01,490 --> 00:34:59,460
of our partners working with us so what

868
00:35:03,290 --> 00:35:01,500
are we doing to support the industry in

869
00:35:04,790 --> 00:35:03,300
low earth orbit well we've got

870
00:35:06,890 --> 00:35:04,800
International partners and we've got

871
00:35:08,390 --> 00:35:06,900
commercial partners and it's great to

872
00:35:10,910 --> 00:35:08,400
see how our commercial partners are

873
00:35:13,609 --> 00:35:10,920
stepping up and taking on more and more

874
00:35:16,609 --> 00:35:13,619
of the things that NASA used to do and

875
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:16,619
that frees up capacity for NASA to do

876
00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:19,260
new things right so we're not afraid of

877
00:35:23,810 --> 00:35:21,420
them coming in and doing work we welcome

878
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:23,820
it and we're trying to actually develop

879
00:35:27,310 --> 00:35:25,800
the capability for commercial Partners

880
00:35:30,950 --> 00:35:27,320
to do more

881
00:35:32,510 --> 00:35:30,960
we want them to be able to launch their

882
00:35:35,810 --> 00:35:32,520
own Crews to their own space station

883
00:35:37,370 --> 00:35:35,820
someday and and that's what we think

884
00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:37,380
will follow the International Space

885
00:35:43,550 --> 00:35:40,320
Station our private space stations but

886
00:35:45,589 --> 00:35:43,560
it's it's all about moving NASA further

887
00:35:47,089 --> 00:35:45,599
out into the solar system right we're

888
00:35:49,250 --> 00:35:47,099
all working together to get further than

889
00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:49,260
we have before Ken you know there's a

890
00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:50,700
lot going on with commercial crew right

891
00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:52,320
now so what other Milestones are you

892
00:35:55,970 --> 00:35:53,760
guys looking to check off this year 2010

893
00:35:57,829 --> 00:35:55,980
23. well we've got another crew rotation

894
00:35:59,329 --> 00:35:57,839
later in the year I mean that's every

895
00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:59,339
six months we got to keep the crews

896
00:36:02,630 --> 00:36:00,720
moving to the International Space

897
00:36:04,550 --> 00:36:02,640
Station but then we've got the Starliner

898
00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:04,560
flight coming up here soon so we'll have

899
00:36:08,569 --> 00:36:06,000
a second provider which is really

900
00:36:10,370 --> 00:36:08,579
exciting we'll have two commercial

901
00:36:12,410 --> 00:36:10,380
vehicles that will be able to take us

902
00:36:14,450 --> 00:36:12,420
into low earth orbit operating out of

903
00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:14,460
the United States so we're all eager to

904
00:36:19,069 --> 00:36:16,859
see that commercial flight test mission

905
00:36:20,690 --> 00:36:19,079
or that crude flight test mission

906
00:36:21,710 --> 00:36:20,700
happened this spring right we're all

907
00:36:23,089 --> 00:36:21,720
looking forward to that it's a great

908
00:36:25,250 --> 00:36:23,099
time for commercial crew thank you so

the Kennedy Space Center in Florida I'm

916
00:36:44,050 --> 00:36:40,859
Daryl nail along with a recent flyer on

917
00:36:46,010 --> 00:36:44,060
a SpaceX SpaceX Dragon NASA astronaut

918
00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:46,020
rajatari thanks Daryl good to have you

919
00:36:49,310 --> 00:36:47,640
here thanks yeah it was cool shot there

920
00:36:50,690 --> 00:36:49,320
you got to see if the crew arm at night

921
00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:50,700
that's a really cool view with it all

922
00:36:55,609 --> 00:36:52,380
lit up on the inside that's the their

923
00:36:57,770 --> 00:36:55,619
path from from the tower uh elevator

924
00:36:59,990 --> 00:36:57,780
over into their vehicle and Endeavor so

925
00:37:02,329 --> 00:37:00,000
and it's a beautiful night out we've got

926
00:37:05,569 --> 00:37:02,339
a nice Cool Breeze temperatures are in

927
00:37:08,990 --> 00:37:05,579
the upper 60s and launch weather is

928
00:37:11,089 --> 00:37:09,000
cooperating wonderfully we have only a

929
00:37:13,609 --> 00:37:11,099
five percent chance that there would be

930
00:37:16,609 --> 00:37:13,619
a violation of the weather criteria for

931
00:37:18,410 --> 00:37:16,619
launch and the corridor the ascent

932
00:37:20,630 --> 00:37:18,420
Corridor we're looking pretty good there

933
00:37:22,010 --> 00:37:20,640
too so two areas that need to be good in

934
00:37:23,810 --> 00:37:22,020
order to get exactly this rocket off

935
00:37:25,310 --> 00:37:23,820
yeah a lot of people don't always think

936
00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:25,320
about that it's really easy for

937
00:37:27,410 --> 00:37:26,400
especially the folks that come out to

938
00:37:29,089 --> 00:37:27,420
watch the launch it's really obvious

939
00:37:30,710 --> 00:37:29,099
what the local weather is like but like

940
00:37:32,810 --> 00:37:30,720
you mentioned the the bigger concern

941
00:37:34,790 --> 00:37:32,820
often is the ascent Corridor so we need

942
00:37:36,650 --> 00:37:34,800
to protect uh in the event of having to

943
00:37:39,109 --> 00:37:36,660
abort so the dragon has the ability to

944
00:37:41,810 --> 00:37:39,119
save itself off the rocket if there's a

945
00:37:43,790 --> 00:37:41,820
problem with F9 it can basically fire

946
00:37:45,470 --> 00:37:43,800
off the top and then land in the water

947
00:37:46,910 --> 00:37:45,480
and so that entire area for the first

948
00:37:48,650 --> 00:37:46,920
stage and second stage we look at the

949
00:37:50,329 --> 00:37:48,660
weather look at the winds and the waves

950
00:37:52,430 --> 00:37:50,339
and figure out if that would be safe to

951
00:37:53,810 --> 00:37:52,440
do and have to just make a decision

952
00:37:55,730 --> 00:37:53,820
about that so today like you mentioned

953
00:37:56,690 --> 00:37:55,740
it's looking great but that is trying to

954
00:37:59,390 --> 00:37:56,700
look at the weather for the entire

955
00:38:02,150 --> 00:37:59,400
Atlantic Ocean is a Big Challenge and it

956
00:38:02,990 --> 00:38:02,160
could also yeah so that is not always a

957
00:38:05,930 --> 00:38:03,000
given

958
00:38:08,270 --> 00:38:05,940
and here come our first two astronauts

959
00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:08,280
Stephen and Woody yeah and you can see

960
00:38:10,370 --> 00:38:09,359
there so they're coming around there's

961
00:38:11,630 --> 00:38:10,380
like we mentioned before they're going

962
00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:11,640
to go in groups of two and like you can

963
00:38:15,470 --> 00:38:12,960
see in the far background you can see

964
00:38:17,150 --> 00:38:15,480
Sultan and Andre still back there uh and

965
00:38:18,829 --> 00:38:17,160
then this isn't always an awkward thing

966
00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:18,839
because the suit kind of restrains your

967
00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:20,880
head so I think ever since Bob and Doug

968
00:38:24,530 --> 00:38:22,560
all of us have tried to foolishly look

969
00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:24,540
upwards and you strain your neck but it

970
00:38:27,530 --> 00:38:26,160
looks kind of goofy but yeah but it's

971
00:38:28,670 --> 00:38:27,540
hard not to Waddle look but of course

972
00:38:30,349 --> 00:38:28,680
you want to look up for the rocket but

973
00:38:33,410 --> 00:38:30,359
the uh the suit for a good reason is

974
00:38:34,609 --> 00:38:33,420
meant to restrain you uh so it's uh it

975
00:38:36,770 --> 00:38:34,619
seems like try to create the other ago

976
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:36,780
we call it the rocket recline back here

977
00:38:39,170 --> 00:38:38,160
at the broadcast maybe we should we

978
00:38:41,450 --> 00:38:39,180
should build chairs out there or

979
00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:41,460
something so you can sit in and lean

980
00:38:46,790 --> 00:38:45,000
back and so that's a rigid area from the

981
00:38:47,690 --> 00:38:46,800
helmet all the way down right and the

982
00:38:49,430 --> 00:38:47,700
reason is because if it was to

983
00:38:52,250 --> 00:38:49,440
pressurize you wouldn't want the helmet

984
00:38:54,109 --> 00:38:52,260
to get so far up that you can't see out

985
00:38:56,270 --> 00:38:54,119
of it anymore so it has to be sewn very

986
00:38:58,250 --> 00:38:56,280
tightly to restrain it when it's under

987
00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:58,260
full pressure but when it's not under

988
00:39:00,770 --> 00:38:59,520
when it's not under full pressure then

989
00:39:02,510 --> 00:39:00,780
it can be hard to lean backwards you can

990
00:39:03,890 --> 00:39:02,520
say Nick keg number ninja number 12

991
00:39:10,430 --> 00:39:03,900
there he'll be going up with the

992
00:39:13,730 --> 00:39:12,589
and I I saw a picture online I don't

993
00:39:14,870 --> 00:39:13,740
know if it was a meme or if it's

994
00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:14,880
actually if they've actually changed the

995
00:39:18,170 --> 00:39:16,800
elevator panel to change the top button

996
00:39:19,490 --> 00:39:18,180
to say space I'm not sure if that I

997
00:39:20,569 --> 00:39:19,500
don't remember it says what do you

998
00:39:22,670 --> 00:39:20,579
recall when you guys I don't think it

999
00:39:24,410 --> 00:39:22,680
said space well when I what I recall was

1000
00:39:26,450 --> 00:39:24,420
it's the num the numbers are the feet of

1001
00:39:29,390 --> 00:39:26,460
the launch pad yeah and we know that the

1002
00:39:30,650 --> 00:39:29,400
255 is the top exactly but maybe someone

1003
00:39:32,990 --> 00:39:30,660
changes to say space that'd be pretty

1004
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:33,000
cool that would be and I think the one

1005
00:39:37,370 --> 00:39:34,560
on the bottom said Earth I saw that

1006
00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:39,170
so at this point they're off the

1007
00:39:43,069 --> 00:39:40,740
umbilicals off the cooling they uh you

1008
00:39:46,130 --> 00:39:43,079
can see the I think ninja 10 there might

1009
00:39:47,810 --> 00:39:46,140
have the cooling boxes but at this point

1010
00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:47,820
um they've got the visors up so it's not

1011
00:39:55,730 --> 00:39:54,170
and there is where the 255 foot level

1012
00:39:59,450 --> 00:39:55,740
you can see the sign on the door right

1013
00:40:00,950 --> 00:39:59,460
next to the elevator so yep and you can

1014
00:40:02,510 --> 00:40:00,960
see when five stories up and you go up

1015
00:40:04,130 --> 00:40:02,520
pretty quick it does it is a fast ride

1016
00:40:05,690 --> 00:40:04,140
you can see the grading in the floor

1017
00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:05,700
there the reason it's not solid and

1018
00:40:09,410 --> 00:40:07,200
we'll probably get more views of this

1019
00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:09,420
laters uh if there was an emergency

1020
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:11,040
egress and there's water up there you

1021
00:40:14,569 --> 00:40:12,300
want the water to flow out so that's why

1022
00:40:16,370 --> 00:40:14,579
there's there's holes in the floor and

1023
00:40:19,430 --> 00:40:16,380
our two Mission Specialists now doing

1024
00:40:20,870 --> 00:40:19,440
this we need a chair

1025
00:40:22,370 --> 00:40:20,880
you just need one chair you just switch

1026
00:40:23,690 --> 00:40:22,380
places yeah all right so there's a

1027
00:40:29,329 --> 00:40:23,700
Stephen Woody coming off of the top of

1028
00:40:33,170 --> 00:40:31,430
so we'll split the screen now and on the

1029
00:40:36,290 --> 00:40:33,180
right hand side we have our mission

1030
00:40:39,050 --> 00:40:36,300
Specialists given a fist bump Sultan and

1031
00:40:41,210 --> 00:40:39,060
Andre as they head to the elevator and

1032
00:40:44,089 --> 00:40:41,220
Woody and Stephen commander and pilot

1033
00:40:46,010 --> 00:40:44,099
now going against the Chevrons which are

1034
00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:46,020
there for a purpose exactly so those

1035
00:40:49,849 --> 00:40:47,640
Chevrons are the direction you would go

1036
00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:49,859
if there was an emergency egress so if

1037
00:40:54,290 --> 00:40:51,420
there's any kind of problem on the pad

1038
00:40:56,510 --> 00:40:54,300
the crew is well trained to basically be

1039
00:40:57,710 --> 00:40:56,520
able to egress on their own if if the

1040
00:41:00,290 --> 00:40:57,720
closeout crew is already left and those

1041
00:41:01,550 --> 00:41:00,300
Chevrons are a visual way to see exactly

1042
00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:01,560
where you would go and they take you

1043
00:41:06,530 --> 00:41:03,599
eventually to slide wires which are

1044
00:41:07,910 --> 00:41:06,540
basically some high up zip lines with a

1045
00:41:09,470 --> 00:41:07,920
basket that you get into and then ride

1046
00:41:11,569 --> 00:41:09,480
down to the ground you can see now

1047
00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:11,579
they're standing uh in front of the NASA

1048
00:41:15,109 --> 00:41:13,260
the red NASA worm there the crew arms

1049
00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:15,119
off to the right and then Sultan and

1050
00:41:19,730 --> 00:41:16,560
Andre are just getting the elevator head

1051
00:41:22,430 --> 00:41:19,740
on up those slide wires are on the left

1052
00:41:24,410 --> 00:41:22,440
hand side of your screen in the Box on

1053
00:41:26,089 --> 00:41:24,420
the left and just to the far left of

1054
00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:26,099
that you can start to see a little bit

1055
00:41:33,490 --> 00:41:27,839
of that structure yeah and just see it

1056
00:41:37,250 --> 00:41:35,990
we get to test it at the top getting in

1057
00:41:39,950 --> 00:41:37,260
and then we test it at the bottom

1058
00:41:41,810 --> 00:41:39,960
getting out but just because the first

1059
00:41:43,310 --> 00:41:41,820
time we see it is about a week prior to

1060
00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:43,320
launch the last thing they want to do is

1061
00:41:49,849 --> 00:41:46,560
have us fall out of a slide wire box or

1062
00:41:52,609 --> 00:41:49,859
break a leg a week before we launch

1063
00:41:53,930 --> 00:41:52,619
the sultan and uh Andre getting off the

1064
00:41:56,569 --> 00:41:53,940
elevator and they'll come upstairs and

1065
00:41:58,490 --> 00:41:56,579
join so right now uh Woody and Steve are

1066
00:42:00,770 --> 00:41:58,500
standing at there's a phone up there

1067
00:42:01,970 --> 00:42:00,780
um at the launch pad this is the these

1068
00:42:03,829 --> 00:42:01,980
are the two astronauts in the upper

1069
00:42:05,450 --> 00:42:03,839
right hand correct yep so they're

1070
00:42:07,970 --> 00:42:05,460
they're more than likely calling uh

1071
00:42:09,530 --> 00:42:07,980
family or loved one just to kind of give

1072
00:42:11,329 --> 00:42:09,540
the you know the last I love you before

1073
00:42:12,109 --> 00:42:11,339
uh you have to do it over the rodeo the

1074
00:42:14,810 --> 00:42:12,119
radio

1075
00:42:16,910 --> 00:42:14,820
who'd you call I called my wife uh but a

1076
00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:16,920
a key uh life hack is that you need to

1077
00:42:19,370 --> 00:42:18,000
make sure that the person you're gonna

1078
00:42:21,890 --> 00:42:19,380
call has the phone number up there which

1079
00:42:23,390 --> 00:42:21,900
is for obvious reason guarded um but the

1080
00:42:24,530 --> 00:42:23,400
last thing I want my wife to do is not

1081
00:42:27,050 --> 00:42:24,540
answer the phone because she thought it

1082
00:42:29,329 --> 00:42:27,060
was a Spam call all right

1083
00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:29,339
so get that number in yeah exactly looks

1084
00:42:33,890 --> 00:42:30,960
like we've got a little backup in the

1085
00:42:37,370 --> 00:42:35,870
so the mission specialist will stand by

1086
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:37,380
and you see they're handing the phone

1087
00:42:40,430 --> 00:42:39,300
over the other uh thing that's going on

1088
00:42:42,109 --> 00:42:40,440
is because they've got their gloves on

1089
00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:42,119
it's hard to actually control the phone

1090
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:43,920
so one of uh Nick hague's job is to dial

1091
00:42:51,530 --> 00:42:49,250
well that's helpful yep

1092
00:42:54,050 --> 00:42:51,540
by the way crew 6 is the first of three

1093
00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:54,060
SpaceX Launches on Monday it's going to

1094
00:43:00,170 --> 00:42:57,119
be a busy Monday we got starlink uh off

1095
00:43:01,550 --> 00:43:00,180
the pad 40 on Monday afternoon followed

1096
00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:01,560
by another starlink launch out of

1097
00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:04,560
Vandenberg the pace here at the um Space

1098
00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:06,720
Center has really picked up and that's

1099
00:43:12,710 --> 00:43:09,839
just a testament to how much this place

1100
00:43:15,589 --> 00:43:12,720
has transformed to become a commercial

1101
00:43:17,690 --> 00:43:15,599
Spaceport yeah it is a very neat just

1102
00:43:19,849 --> 00:43:17,700
driving around the candy like just

1103
00:43:21,950 --> 00:43:19,859
construction everywhere you know you see

1104
00:43:23,870 --> 00:43:21,960
trucks with parts of rockets moving

1105
00:43:25,370 --> 00:43:23,880
around just the other day there was a

1106
00:43:27,530 --> 00:43:25,380
booster stage getting carted around so

1107
00:43:30,050 --> 00:43:27,540
there's always something and like you

1108
00:43:31,849 --> 00:43:30,060
said just a it is a exciting time in the

1109
00:43:34,069 --> 00:43:31,859
industry whether it's Artemis you know

1110
00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:34,079
like you said Starliner about to fly a

1111
00:43:38,809 --> 00:43:35,760
crew six launch there's just so much

1112
00:43:46,069 --> 00:43:42,170
tonight though we count down to 1 45 a.m

1113
00:43:47,809 --> 00:43:46,079
and uh I believe three seconds

1114
00:43:50,089 --> 00:43:47,819
if you want to know exactly the second

1115
00:43:51,050 --> 00:43:50,099
it's supposed to lift off 145 in three

1116
00:43:52,970 --> 00:43:51,060
seconds

1117
00:43:54,050 --> 00:43:52,980
in the morning tomorrow start to see

1118
00:43:56,210 --> 00:43:54,060
Stephen what are you going across the

1119
00:43:58,910 --> 00:43:56,220
crew access arm there

1120
00:44:00,589 --> 00:43:58,920
and that's a neat shot courtesy of our

1121
00:44:02,329 --> 00:44:00,599
crew

1122
00:44:04,430 --> 00:44:02,339
in the helicopter

1123
00:44:06,950 --> 00:44:04,440
and here comes Woody and Steve down the

1124
00:44:10,490 --> 00:44:06,960
crew access arm ready to get inside the

1125
00:44:13,370 --> 00:44:11,990
and so you'll see there's a NASA

1126
00:44:14,030 --> 00:44:13,380
meatball there

1127
00:44:15,710 --> 00:44:14,040
um

1128
00:44:17,390 --> 00:44:15,720
with the signatures of all the previous

1129
00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:17,400
crew dragons

1130
00:44:21,530 --> 00:44:19,680
your signature's there it is yep and

1131
00:44:23,750 --> 00:44:21,540
then the uh the SpaceX for the the

1132
00:44:25,010 --> 00:44:23,760
private Mission so they basically uh

1133
00:44:27,109 --> 00:44:25,020
kind of and you'll see I think they're

1134
00:44:28,849 --> 00:44:27,119
about to hand them a Sharpie they are

1135
00:44:29,750 --> 00:44:28,859
this is on the crew checklist now you

1136
00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:29,760
gotta decide if you want to take your

1137
00:44:32,750 --> 00:44:31,200
hands out of the gloves or keep them in

1138
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:32,760
the glove so it's

1139
00:44:36,109 --> 00:44:34,260
different people prefer different things

1140
00:44:37,609 --> 00:44:36,119
you can you can take your hands in and

1141
00:44:39,170 --> 00:44:37,619
out without breaking the the

1142
00:44:41,450 --> 00:44:39,180
availability of the leaf check but if

1143
00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:41,460
you undo any of the other zippers

1144
00:44:44,630 --> 00:44:43,440
um then you do have to redo the leak

1145
00:44:46,670 --> 00:44:44,640
Jack what you're going to do anyways in

1146
00:44:47,690 --> 00:44:46,680
the vehicle but uh taking your hands in

1147
00:44:49,190 --> 00:44:47,700
and out can just be a little more

1148
00:44:50,690 --> 00:44:49,200
comfortable a little more cooling that

1149
00:44:51,829 --> 00:44:50,700
looks like what Woody's doing exactly

1150
00:44:53,390 --> 00:44:51,839
he's got gloves obviously he's got

1151
00:44:55,550 --> 00:44:53,400
Comfort gloves on there which are

1152
00:44:56,930 --> 00:44:55,560
basically uh just to help with your your

1153
00:44:59,150 --> 00:44:56,940
to absorb some of the sweat and

1154
00:45:00,890 --> 00:44:59,160
perspiration

1155
00:45:05,809 --> 00:45:00,900
you want to make sure you assign this

1156
00:45:09,770 --> 00:45:07,550
there's always no shortage of

1157
00:45:11,089 --> 00:45:09,780
dragonflies as well uh out here in

1158
00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:11,099
Florida and so that's always one of the

1159
00:45:14,870 --> 00:45:13,140
other good luck Omens that the closeout

1160
00:45:16,550 --> 00:45:14,880
here we'll talk about is is having the

1161
00:45:18,349 --> 00:45:16,560
seen a dragonfly come around near the

1162
00:45:20,930 --> 00:45:18,359
white room oh really

1163
00:45:23,630 --> 00:45:20,940
that space is open there there's a

1164
00:45:25,730 --> 00:45:23,640
little bit of a the the the black part

1165
00:45:28,250 --> 00:45:25,740
is kind of like seals up against it but

1166
00:45:29,630 --> 00:45:28,260
there is open air inside the the crew

1167
00:45:31,069 --> 00:45:29,640
access arm

1168
00:45:32,510 --> 00:45:31,079
and you can see they're getting glasses

1169
00:45:33,950 --> 00:45:32,520
positioned so the other thing that the

1170
00:45:35,150 --> 00:45:33,960
closeout crew is helping along they've

1171
00:45:37,370 --> 00:45:35,160
got some crew personal items like

1172
00:45:38,329 --> 00:45:37,380
glasses uh watches if they've got the

1173
00:45:39,710 --> 00:45:38,339
watches they're gonna wear on the

1174
00:45:41,030 --> 00:45:39,720
outside of the the suit this is the kind

1175
00:45:42,650 --> 00:45:41,040
of time would start donning that kind of

1176
00:45:43,730 --> 00:45:42,660
stuff uh if they'd have like wrist

1177
00:45:45,410 --> 00:45:43,740
mirrors and anything like that they'll

1178
00:45:47,930 --> 00:45:45,420
start getting that on now and as well as

1179
00:45:50,270 --> 00:45:47,940
once they're inside the capsule

1180
00:45:52,370 --> 00:45:50,280
a white room is a term first used during

1181
00:45:54,349 --> 00:45:52,380
the Gemini era

1182
00:45:56,210 --> 00:45:54,359
literally for the description of the

1183
00:45:57,589 --> 00:45:56,220
color of the room but it's not really

1184
00:45:59,030 --> 00:45:57,599
much of a room right it's pretty tight

1185
00:45:59,930 --> 00:45:59,040
yeah it's more of just the Rev exactly

1186
00:46:01,849 --> 00:45:59,940
it's more of a cleaner when you see

1187
00:46:03,349 --> 00:46:01,859
they're grabbing name tags there

1188
00:46:05,270 --> 00:46:03,359
um so they'll basically kind of a

1189
00:46:06,950 --> 00:46:05,280
tradition that uh started with the first

1190
00:46:08,510 --> 00:46:06,960
Dragon launch of grabbing the some of

1191
00:46:10,609 --> 00:46:08,520
the closeout Crews name tags post

1192
00:46:11,870 --> 00:46:10,619
persons people who haven't either worked

1193
00:46:13,730 --> 00:46:11,880
on the closeout crew before or haven't

1194
00:46:15,170 --> 00:46:13,740
had their name tag floating space and

1195
00:46:16,849 --> 00:46:15,180
then they'll fly it and Endeavor with

1196
00:46:17,930 --> 00:46:16,859
them and bring it on back so they have

1197
00:46:19,849 --> 00:46:17,940
something to remember the flight by

1198
00:46:22,730 --> 00:46:19,859
that's really neat for the SpaceX team

1199
00:46:23,930 --> 00:46:22,740
yep yeah it is a cool tradition and uh

1200
00:46:25,970 --> 00:46:23,940
the hardest thing is from everybody

1201
00:46:27,710 --> 00:46:25,980
where you put them all after six months

1202
00:46:28,550 --> 00:46:27,720
of space and a moment of panic when we

1203
00:46:30,650 --> 00:46:28,560
came back like what do we do with the

1204
00:46:33,770 --> 00:46:30,660
name tags

1205
00:46:36,530 --> 00:46:33,780
did we leave them in space

1206
00:46:38,210 --> 00:46:36,540
our mission specialist now having a

1207
00:46:39,950 --> 00:46:38,220
telephone conversation with their family

1208
00:46:42,109 --> 00:46:39,960
or loved ones

1209
00:46:45,170 --> 00:46:42,119
standing by getting ready to make their

1210
00:46:46,730 --> 00:46:45,180
walk down the crew access arm the other

1211
00:46:48,890 --> 00:46:46,740
key thing Nick Hague has to know how to

1212
00:46:49,790 --> 00:46:48,900
do is dial uh internationally on that

1213
00:46:52,790 --> 00:46:49,800
phone

1214
00:46:55,550 --> 00:46:52,800
especially with uh yeah oh right if it's

1215
00:46:57,170 --> 00:46:55,560
a government phone it's not always easy

1216
00:46:59,089 --> 00:46:57,180
we had to practice

1217
00:47:01,130 --> 00:46:59,099
core on countdown and there was a good

1218
00:47:03,650 --> 00:47:01,140
address rehearsal

1219
00:47:05,450 --> 00:47:03,660
we remain on schedule

1220
00:47:06,650 --> 00:47:05,460
to hear the call from the corps that

1221
00:47:09,230 --> 00:47:06,660
they're on schedule

1222
00:47:11,530 --> 00:47:09,240
so normally uh so the with the crew

1223
00:47:13,970 --> 00:47:11,540
timeline like what we train too is about

1224
00:47:15,530 --> 00:47:13,980
235 prior to launches when the crew

1225
00:47:18,710 --> 00:47:15,540
should be ingressing so you can see

1226
00:47:20,030 --> 00:47:18,720
we're we're right right on timeline and

1227
00:47:22,550 --> 00:47:20,040
they always build in extra time of

1228
00:47:24,349 --> 00:47:22,560
course for you know the closer you get

1229
00:47:27,170 --> 00:47:24,359
to launch the less extra time you have

1230
00:47:30,650 --> 00:47:27,180
but they try to build in uh time to you

1231
00:47:40,490 --> 00:47:32,510
so the commander and pilot take their

1232
00:47:44,990 --> 00:47:43,609
on Deck are the mission specialists

1233
00:47:46,190 --> 00:47:45,000
yeah you can see they're just starting

1234
00:47:54,770 --> 00:47:46,200
to come across the correct access arm

1235
00:48:00,109 --> 00:47:57,410
and here comes Sultan and Andre Dragon

1236
00:48:03,109 --> 00:48:00,119
SpaceX we're gonna be triggering an

1237
00:48:05,150 --> 00:48:03,119
onboard manual alert uh you'll see this

1238
00:48:08,569 --> 00:48:05,160
temporarily no Corrections required so

1239
00:48:10,010 --> 00:48:08,579
you can hear the core talking to Steve

1240
00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:10,020
so when they first get in this is doing

1241
00:48:12,589 --> 00:48:11,520
an initial check just to tell them in

1242
00:48:14,150 --> 00:48:12,599
the seat there'll be more formal

1243
00:48:15,109 --> 00:48:14,160
contracts later and once you hear the

1244
00:48:17,150 --> 00:48:15,119
core tell them that they're gonna

1245
00:48:18,650 --> 00:48:17,160
they're gonna see an enunciation of an

1246
00:48:20,750 --> 00:48:18,660
alert but there's nothing required so

1247
00:48:21,950 --> 00:48:20,760
they're just giving a heads up so that

1248
00:48:24,290 --> 00:48:21,960
the crew is not surprised when they see

1249
00:48:29,630 --> 00:48:26,770
Sultan was pretty pumped as it came down

1250
00:48:32,569 --> 00:48:29,640
he was moving pumping his fists you know

1251
00:48:34,069 --> 00:48:32,579
waving and uh gave his flag on his uh

1252
00:48:39,109 --> 00:48:34,079
shoulder or tap

1253
00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:41,930
he's going to go with the gloves

1254
00:48:45,770 --> 00:48:43,920
kind of signs don't get any Sharpie on

1255
00:48:47,390 --> 00:48:45,780
the outside

1256
00:48:49,069 --> 00:48:47,400
in Dragon SpaceX we were actually able

1257
00:48:51,530 --> 00:48:49,079
to complete that test without triggering

1258
00:48:55,130 --> 00:48:51,540
the onboard alert so uh you can ignore

1259
00:48:55,140 --> 00:49:03,890
thanks for that

1260
00:49:07,609 --> 00:49:05,630
so what the the ninjas are doing there

1261
00:49:10,370 --> 00:49:07,619
is making sure that the the suit that's

1262
00:49:12,589 --> 00:49:10,380
that that white outer Dragon C3 contract

1263
00:49:13,670 --> 00:49:12,599
that's what are you checking in

1264
00:49:15,650 --> 00:49:13,680
I got you loud and clear what do you

1265
00:49:18,470 --> 00:49:15,660
help me

1266
00:49:20,510 --> 00:49:18,480
I have it the same good morning Arthur

1267
00:49:24,710 --> 00:49:20,520
good morning and uh for your awareness

1268
00:49:30,170 --> 00:49:28,069
I love it that makes us so happy

1269
00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:30,180
so Arthur one of the cores of SpaceX and

1270
00:49:32,690 --> 00:49:31,440
uh usually the crews have pretty good

1271
00:49:34,010 --> 00:49:32,700
relationships with all the cores and the

1272
00:49:34,849 --> 00:49:34,020
MDS because we've worked with them so

1273
00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:34,859
much

1274
00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:36,960
um so obviously Arthur has either lost

1275
00:49:41,089 --> 00:49:38,400
some kind of vet or made some kind of

1276
00:49:42,410 --> 00:49:41,099
bet to have to wear some kind of shirt

1277
00:49:44,809 --> 00:49:42,420
um

1278
00:49:46,370 --> 00:49:44,819
maybe would we see mccx later we'll get

1279
00:49:47,870 --> 00:49:46,380
a peek at what he's got odd

1280
00:49:49,910 --> 00:49:47,880
you can see Sultan's grabbing some name

1281
00:49:51,710 --> 00:49:49,920
tags there as well

1282
00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:51,720
the Practical side of that is uh it

1283
00:49:54,470 --> 00:49:53,280
would be great if one person grabbed all

1284
00:49:56,270 --> 00:49:54,480
the name tags but they don't fit those

1285
00:49:59,089 --> 00:49:56,280
those packs you have on your leg are so

1286
00:50:01,730 --> 00:49:59,099
tightly packed with checklist Pages uh

1287
00:50:03,589 --> 00:50:01,740
some emergency meds if you need those uh

1288
00:50:04,970 --> 00:50:03,599
things like that that you really you

1289
00:50:06,109 --> 00:50:04,980
actually distribute those name tags

1290
00:50:08,089 --> 00:50:06,119
amongst a few different people in the

1291
00:50:10,370 --> 00:50:08,099
crew so you don't bust the zipper on the

1292
00:50:11,809 --> 00:50:10,380
on the pack I see and that's what uh so

1293
00:50:13,490 --> 00:50:11,819
you can see the kids exactly yeah

1294
00:50:14,210 --> 00:50:13,500
exactly there's a little interior pocket

1295
00:50:15,650 --> 00:50:14,220
there

1296
00:50:17,030 --> 00:50:15,660
um so like a wall like a watch or

1297
00:50:18,290 --> 00:50:17,040
glasses case or anything like things

1298
00:50:19,370 --> 00:50:18,300
like that or what would be going in

1299
00:50:21,050 --> 00:50:19,380
there at this point well there's some

1300
00:50:22,069 --> 00:50:21,060
motivation by the SpaceX crew to make

1301
00:50:25,309 --> 00:50:22,079
sure it gets in the right place right

1302
00:50:27,050 --> 00:50:25,319
exactly nice and tight

1303
00:50:28,670 --> 00:50:27,060
you may have noticed something folks

1304
00:50:31,069 --> 00:50:28,680
that's a little different than even when

1305
00:50:32,390 --> 00:50:31,079
you flew Raja and that is that SpaceX is

1306
00:50:35,329 --> 00:50:32,400
now doing some of the checks and

1307
00:50:37,970 --> 00:50:35,339
operations in parallel we heard the

1308
00:50:40,069 --> 00:50:37,980
communication checks that's going to

1309
00:50:42,170 --> 00:50:40,079
reduce the total time by about 27

1310
00:50:44,510 --> 00:50:42,180
minutes but it will still be included in

1311
00:50:47,390 --> 00:50:44,520
the nominal timeline for troubleshooting

1312
00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:47,400
so for example when they perform the

1313
00:50:52,010 --> 00:50:49,680
seat rotation the core Comm check the

1314
00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:52,020
suit lead checks they'll also perform

1315
00:50:56,690 --> 00:50:54,480
the side hatch inspection and then we

1316
00:50:59,150 --> 00:50:56,700
started hearing those Comm checks as

1317
00:51:01,250 --> 00:50:59,160
even the mission Specialists are

1318
00:51:03,470 --> 00:51:01,260
starting to Ingress exactly yeah so I

1319
00:51:05,870 --> 00:51:03,480
think at you know every time we do a

1320
00:51:07,370 --> 00:51:05,880
launch we learn from it so as as much as

1321
00:51:09,170 --> 00:51:07,380
we like to think things are routine

1322
00:51:11,690 --> 00:51:09,180
we're always learning and trying to

1323
00:51:13,069 --> 00:51:11,700
improve from those and in this case

1324
00:51:14,530 --> 00:51:13,079
trying to be a little more efficient you

1325
00:51:17,210 --> 00:51:14,540
know looking for places where we can

1326
00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:17,220
combine efforts at the same time do some

1327
00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:19,440
operations in parallel and save some

1328
00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:20,880
time because you never know you might

1329
00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:22,800
get some fod on the seal and you might

1330
00:51:26,089 --> 00:51:24,480
need some extra time it's always nice to

1331
00:51:28,730 --> 00:51:26,099
nice to be ahead of the timeline versus

1332
00:51:29,930 --> 00:51:28,740
Russian to catch up especially uh you

1333
00:51:31,430 --> 00:51:29,940
know when you've got an instantaneous

1334
00:51:34,370 --> 00:51:31,440
launch window you want to preserve as

1335
00:51:36,530 --> 00:51:34,380
much margin as you can

1336
00:51:41,089 --> 00:51:36,540
so you can see Sultan and Andre getting

1337
00:51:45,710 --> 00:51:42,770
well the real danger is bumping your

1338
00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:45,720
helmet visor as you uh it's you can see

1339
00:51:49,250 --> 00:51:47,520
it's easier for the the ninjas to get in

1340
00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:49,260
there um but wearing that suit and again

1341
00:51:52,970 --> 00:51:50,520
with the kind of like limited head

1342
00:51:55,609 --> 00:51:52,980
Mobility it's easy to forget that you've

1343
00:51:57,049 --> 00:51:55,619
got a giant ball of attack to your top

1344
00:51:58,370 --> 00:51:57,059
of your head and then bump that visor

1345
00:52:00,530 --> 00:51:58,380
into something

1346
00:52:04,190 --> 00:52:00,540
I like that shot that SpaceX showed us

1347
00:52:06,109 --> 00:52:04,200
going into dragon with the the closeout

1348
00:52:08,270 --> 00:52:06,119
team following right behind the

1349
00:52:10,430 --> 00:52:08,280
astronauts yeah pretty good view of

1350
00:52:12,230 --> 00:52:10,440
Andre's uh armrest there and you can see

1351
00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:12,240
the buttons on there and so you can see

1352
00:52:16,910 --> 00:52:14,640
that one at the bottom center your

1353
00:52:18,290 --> 00:52:16,920
screen with the little white dot so

1354
00:52:20,270 --> 00:52:18,300
that's actually a little velcro button

1355
00:52:21,589 --> 00:52:20,280
and so the reason we do that is all

1356
00:52:22,849 --> 00:52:21,599
those buttons would normally feel the

1357
00:52:24,890 --> 00:52:22,859
same so you put a little piece of Velcro

1358
00:52:26,569 --> 00:52:24,900
on that one and that way even through

1359
00:52:28,069 --> 00:52:26,579
the suit you can have the tactile feel

1360
00:52:29,930 --> 00:52:28,079
to know that's the push to talk button

1361
00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:29,940
in case you're like just like if you

1362
00:52:32,690 --> 00:52:31,260
were typing on the keyboard once you

1363
00:52:33,829 --> 00:52:32,700
find the space bar and you can Orient

1364
00:52:35,870 --> 00:52:33,839
your fingers that's the same thing for

1365
00:52:37,069 --> 00:52:35,880
that once you find that button then you

1366
00:52:38,390 --> 00:52:37,079
know where the other buttons are without

1367
00:52:41,089 --> 00:52:38,400
having to look down to see them but

1368
00:52:42,589 --> 00:52:41,099
you've got a volume a Vox which is the

1369
00:52:45,049 --> 00:52:42,599
sensitivity of your mic and then the

1370
00:52:47,329 --> 00:52:45,059
push to talk

1371
00:52:49,849 --> 00:52:47,339
when the crew climbs aboard Dragon it is

1372
00:52:51,650 --> 00:52:49,859
referred to as crew Ingress

1373
00:52:53,569 --> 00:52:51,660
the term Ingress is used when crew

1374
00:52:55,910 --> 00:52:53,579
members are getting into a spacecraft or

1375
00:52:57,650 --> 00:52:55,920
airlock while egress means just the

1376
00:52:59,510 --> 00:52:57,660
opposite they're exiting

1377
00:53:01,370 --> 00:52:59,520
prior to getting on board the crew

1378
00:53:02,870 --> 00:53:01,380
completed a foreign object debris check

1379
00:53:05,150 --> 00:53:02,880
or fog check

1380
00:53:06,770 --> 00:53:05,160
that means they basically had to be

1381
00:53:08,870 --> 00:53:06,780
inspected and this is what you know the

1382
00:53:10,790 --> 00:53:08,880
closeout crew was doing checking them

1383
00:53:12,410 --> 00:53:10,800
for substance or debris that isn't

1384
00:53:14,750 --> 00:53:12,420
supposed to be on them or their suits

1385
00:53:16,910 --> 00:53:14,760
which could potentially cause damage to

1386
00:53:18,650 --> 00:53:16,920
dragon and that's also why the crew

1387
00:53:19,910 --> 00:53:18,660
wears covers on their boots we didn't

1388
00:53:22,670 --> 00:53:19,920
see it because the shot was kind of high

1389
00:53:24,410 --> 00:53:22,680
but they had them on they also have uh

1390
00:53:27,109 --> 00:53:24,420
you know their umbilical port on their

1391
00:53:28,609 --> 00:53:27,119
suits those covers get removed they have

1392
00:53:31,130 --> 00:53:28,619
covers on top of them before they enter

1393
00:53:33,290 --> 00:53:31,140
the spacecraft and you can see them

1394
00:53:34,790 --> 00:53:33,300
right there where they even you go in

1395
00:53:37,190 --> 00:53:34,800
and just plug right you're right into

1396
00:53:38,930 --> 00:53:37,200
your armrest right yep exactly so that

1397
00:53:40,970 --> 00:53:38,940
umbilical on their right thigh

1398
00:53:42,770 --> 00:53:40,980
essentially is is that is that umbilical

1399
00:53:44,329 --> 00:53:42,780
and you mentioned that the boot covers

1400
00:53:46,190 --> 00:53:44,339
all that is a precaution you can see

1401
00:53:47,690 --> 00:53:46,200
they're wearing gloves the closeout crew

1402
00:53:49,250 --> 00:53:47,700
as it is essentially a clean room like

1403
00:53:50,569 --> 00:53:49,260
this the man the capsules built in a

1404
00:53:52,130 --> 00:53:50,579
clean room refurbished in a clean room

1405
00:53:53,569 --> 00:53:52,140
and even though it's out on the launch

1406
00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:53,579
pad we still have to maintain the

1407
00:53:57,349 --> 00:53:55,200
Integrity of that it's the last thing

1408
00:53:59,450 --> 00:53:57,359
you want to do is have something

1409
00:54:01,190 --> 00:53:59,460
floating around the the capsule

1410
00:54:03,589 --> 00:54:01,200
especially once in microgravity that can

1411
00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:03,599
either get ingested in hail cause an eye

1412
00:54:07,490 --> 00:54:05,280
injury or damage something

1413
00:54:09,950 --> 00:54:07,500
and the foreign object debris Raja

1414
00:54:11,510 --> 00:54:09,960
actually the prevention of it begins all

1415
00:54:13,250 --> 00:54:11,520
the way back in Hawthorne before the

1416
00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:13,260
spacecraft leaves SpaceX headquarters

1417
00:54:17,870 --> 00:54:15,000
it's carefully controlled all the way

1418
00:54:20,089 --> 00:54:17,880
through launch day and then until we

1419
00:54:22,730 --> 00:54:20,099
will see in just a few the hatch is

1420
00:54:25,069 --> 00:54:22,740
closed exactly yeah it's uh the last

1421
00:54:27,230 --> 00:54:25,079
thing you want is anything loose in a

1422
00:54:28,849 --> 00:54:27,240
spacecraft and so it is from the exactly

1423
00:54:30,290 --> 00:54:28,859
from the time they build the components

1424
00:54:32,630 --> 00:54:30,300
everything is very very tightly

1425
00:54:34,730 --> 00:54:32,640
controlled and accounted for well the

1426
00:54:36,530 --> 00:54:34,740
closeout crew is collecting them in

1427
00:54:38,630 --> 00:54:36,540
Comcheck

1428
00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:38,640
you see the next com check there

1429
00:54:49,790 --> 00:54:42,240
loud and clear C1 how me

1430
00:54:55,190 --> 00:54:52,910
the sutex are there inside the

1431
00:54:56,750 --> 00:54:55,200
spacecraft with the astronauts just in

1432
00:54:59,150 --> 00:54:56,760
case they need a hand and that's exactly

1433
00:55:01,910 --> 00:54:59,160
what we see happening right now exactly

1434
00:55:03,349 --> 00:55:01,920
yep and uh so yeah it's a mix of Crews

1435
00:55:05,150 --> 00:55:03,359
strapping themselves in but then

1436
00:55:07,010 --> 00:55:05,160
generally the closeout crew is going to

1437
00:55:09,770 --> 00:55:07,020
cinch down the shoulder straps and just

1438
00:55:11,990 --> 00:55:09,780
make sure you're really really secure

1439
00:55:13,490 --> 00:55:12,000
it's

1440
00:55:15,230 --> 00:55:13,500
you know when you see them moving in the

1441
00:55:16,670 --> 00:55:15,240
space you'll see uh during launch like

1442
00:55:18,170 --> 00:55:16,680
it doesn't look like they're moving

1443
00:55:19,370 --> 00:55:18,180
because they are so tightly strapped in

1444
00:55:23,150 --> 00:55:19,380
but there's a whole lot happening to the

1445
00:55:25,190 --> 00:55:23,160
vehicle right the vibration exactly

1446
00:55:27,530 --> 00:55:25,200
the umbilicals allow the crew to have

1447
00:55:30,170 --> 00:55:27,540
comms through the suit air to help keep

1448
00:55:32,690 --> 00:55:30,180
them cool as well as nitrox for suit

1449
00:55:35,690 --> 00:55:32,700
pressurization which is similar to what

1450
00:55:37,970 --> 00:55:35,700
scuba divers use yep

1451
00:55:39,589 --> 00:55:37,980
and you can see uh on Woodies you can

1452
00:55:40,970 --> 00:55:39,599
see now on his left knee is that Satchel

1453
00:55:43,309 --> 00:55:40,980
I was talking about so that's like a

1454
00:55:46,670 --> 00:55:43,319
little it's a kind of kneeboard card on

1455
00:55:48,170 --> 00:55:46,680
it but inside that is where the iPads

1456
00:55:50,150 --> 00:55:48,180
like so they have iPads that have backup

1457
00:55:52,490 --> 00:55:50,160
procedures on them you also have some

1458
00:55:54,290 --> 00:55:52,500
cards you can write on procedures on the

1459
00:55:58,069 --> 00:55:54,300
inside and kind of just a mix of

1460
00:56:00,230 --> 00:55:58,079
different Olympic suits

1461
00:56:05,049 --> 00:56:00,240
it's Andres Comcheck it sounds like yep

1462
00:56:05,059 --> 00:56:08,990
thank you

1463
00:56:13,490 --> 00:56:10,670
there's a little delay between the audio

1464
00:56:15,470 --> 00:56:13,500
coming from the astronauts yeah yeah you

1465
00:56:16,790 --> 00:56:15,480
can see what he's zipping in so the

1466
00:56:17,750 --> 00:56:16,800
those two layers I was talking about the

1467
00:56:19,309 --> 00:56:17,760
seat before you can see there's an

1468
00:56:20,510 --> 00:56:19,319
orange colored zipper and a white zipper

1469
00:56:22,010 --> 00:56:20,520
and that's the the Orange is the

1470
00:56:23,510 --> 00:56:22,020
pressure garment zipper and the white is

1471
00:56:25,490 --> 00:56:23,520
the restraint zipper that's why there's

1472
00:56:26,930 --> 00:56:25,500
two colors and so what he's doing is

1473
00:56:28,490 --> 00:56:26,940
looking to make sure and he's showing

1474
00:56:30,230 --> 00:56:28,500
the closeout crew that he's getting a

1475
00:56:32,329 --> 00:56:30,240
visual inspection there's a white tooth

1476
00:56:33,710 --> 00:56:32,339
on the last piece of the zipper and

1477
00:56:35,210 --> 00:56:33,720
that's what he's visually verifying is

1478
00:56:36,230 --> 00:56:35,220
he can see that white tooth and that

1479
00:56:37,910 --> 00:56:36,240
makes you have a good seal so that's

1480
00:56:39,410 --> 00:56:37,920
what they're doing right now is uh

1481
00:56:40,670 --> 00:56:39,420
basically it's a two-person check so

1482
00:56:42,109 --> 00:56:40,680
everything's a checklist and anything

1483
00:56:44,210 --> 00:56:42,119
critical you always want to get two sets

1484
00:56:46,370 --> 00:56:44,220
of eyes on and the suit's primary

1485
00:56:48,349 --> 00:56:46,380
function is to protect the crew in the

1486
00:56:50,089 --> 00:56:48,359
event of a cabin depressurization right

1487
00:56:52,010 --> 00:56:50,099
exactly the pressure and like you

1488
00:56:53,150 --> 00:56:52,020
mentioned the nitrox uh flows to it to

1489
00:56:54,650 --> 00:56:53,160
pressurize the suit in the event that

1490
00:56:55,790 --> 00:56:54,660
happens so there's there's a cool shot

1491
00:56:57,890 --> 00:56:55,800
from the outside yeah how about that

1492
00:56:59,270 --> 00:56:57,900
that's beautiful coming from our Kennedy

1493
00:57:00,650 --> 00:56:59,280
helicopter

1494
00:57:02,630 --> 00:57:00,660
yeah so you can see the black part of

1495
00:57:04,069 --> 00:57:02,640
the trunk which is the section below the

1496
00:57:06,470 --> 00:57:04,079
capsule that's the solar panels which

1497
00:57:08,150 --> 00:57:06,480
you which is kind of cool to see

1498
00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:08,160
uh most of the time in manufacturing

1499
00:57:10,849 --> 00:57:09,540
that's covered up with these protective

1500
00:57:11,990 --> 00:57:10,859
panels so it's not really until it gets

1501
00:57:13,970 --> 00:57:12,000
out here to the pad that you get to see

1502
00:57:17,450 --> 00:57:13,980
it like that you can see the guy wires

1503
00:57:19,910 --> 00:57:17,460
that lead up to the top of the tower

1504
00:57:22,849 --> 00:57:19,920
our helicopters are up there

1505
00:57:25,309 --> 00:57:22,859
performing a important role and that is

1506
00:57:28,490 --> 00:57:25,319
security flying all around the area and

1507
00:57:30,290 --> 00:57:28,500
making sure that nothing bad would

1508
00:57:31,430 --> 00:57:30,300
happen from anybody who would want to

1509
00:57:33,589 --> 00:57:31,440
harm

1510
00:57:35,630 --> 00:57:33,599
or interfere in any way with this launch

1511
00:57:37,370 --> 00:57:35,640
and so we have also have assets out in

1512
00:57:39,170 --> 00:57:37,380
the ocean as well

1513
00:57:40,549 --> 00:57:39,180
you can see over in between Woody and

1514
00:57:42,770 --> 00:57:40,559
Andre you can see the stickers of

1515
00:57:43,970 --> 00:57:42,780
previous Crews so important to note that

1516
00:57:46,069 --> 00:57:43,980
one of the the cool things about

1517
00:57:47,870 --> 00:57:46,079
commercial crew and the the both the

1518
00:57:49,790 --> 00:57:47,880
dragon and the Starliner that the

1519
00:57:51,230 --> 00:57:49,800
capsules get reused and so you can see

1520
00:57:53,510 --> 00:57:51,240
that Crews have flown before have left

1521
00:57:55,609 --> 00:57:53,520
their their sticker behind so ours is up

1522
00:57:57,290 --> 00:57:55,619
on endurance up in space right now and

1523
00:58:01,250 --> 00:57:57,300
the three crews that have been in

1524
00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:03,230
and there are four seats as we see there

1525
00:58:07,609 --> 00:58:05,280
and they are numbered one to four from

1526
00:58:09,710 --> 00:58:07,619
right to left when looking at the seats

1527
00:58:12,410 --> 00:58:09,720
from the hatch so all the way in the far

1528
00:58:13,430 --> 00:58:12,420
right will be Andre fettyev he's in seat

1529
00:58:15,770 --> 00:58:13,440
one

1530
00:58:17,870 --> 00:58:15,780
sorry in the far left correction he's

1531
00:58:20,510 --> 00:58:17,880
the one motioning with his hand right

1532
00:58:23,089 --> 00:58:20,520
now in seat two

1533
00:58:25,609 --> 00:58:23,099
moving across to the right

1534
00:58:27,770 --> 00:58:25,619
that's Woody hoberg in the pilot seat

1535
00:58:29,990 --> 00:58:27,780
and just to

1536
00:58:32,270 --> 00:58:30,000
the next astronaut to the right that's

1537
00:58:34,730 --> 00:58:32,280
Stephen Boeing the Commander in seat

1538
00:58:48,890 --> 00:58:34,740
three and then at the far right is

1539
00:58:51,829 --> 00:58:50,030
all right kind of giving some last

1540
00:58:53,329 --> 00:58:51,839
minute handshakes here closeout crew

1541
00:58:55,250 --> 00:58:53,339
doing some fist bumps

1542
00:58:57,589 --> 00:58:55,260
at some point they'll probably uh get a

1543
00:58:59,630 --> 00:58:57,599
photo as my guess

1544
00:59:00,950 --> 00:58:59,640
you become close with the crow you do

1545
00:59:03,109 --> 00:59:00,960
yeah like I said you know these people

1546
00:59:04,069 --> 00:59:03,119
like it it's actually really cool by the

1547
00:59:05,870 --> 00:59:04,079
time you're at the end of The Sim

1548
00:59:07,849 --> 00:59:05,880
campaign you you can tell just by the

1549
00:59:09,289 --> 00:59:07,859
tone of someone's voice uh you know

1550
00:59:10,730 --> 00:59:09,299
before you even hear what the problem is

1551
00:59:13,309 --> 00:59:10,740
or what the thing isn't a Sam you know

1552
00:59:16,609 --> 00:59:13,319
okay this is good or bad by the way they

1553
00:59:20,569 --> 00:59:18,470
well we're ready for some social

1554
00:59:22,430 --> 00:59:20,579
questions we mentioned at the top of the

1555
00:59:24,170 --> 00:59:22,440
show that we want to take your questions

1556
00:59:26,089 --> 00:59:24,180
throughout this show and while we've got

1557
00:59:28,670 --> 00:59:26,099
a little moment here while the

1558
00:59:31,250 --> 00:59:28,680
astronauts and Cosmonaut are settled

1559
00:59:33,890 --> 00:59:31,260
into their seats inside the Dragon

1560
00:59:36,950 --> 00:59:33,900
uh we want to check in and uh take a

1561
00:59:40,130 --> 00:59:36,960
question this comes from sotex rangerman

1562
00:59:43,730 --> 00:59:40,140
what time does the crew wake up for this

1563
00:59:45,349 --> 00:59:43,740
late night launch so actually they uh to

1564
00:59:46,670 --> 00:59:45,359
them it seems like the day even though

1565
00:59:49,309 --> 00:59:46,680
it's dark out because we do a thing

1566
00:59:51,349 --> 00:59:49,319
called Sleep shifting so once they set

1567
00:59:53,450 --> 00:59:51,359
the launch time then the entire schedule

1568
00:59:54,710 --> 00:59:53,460
even as far back as when they're in

1569
00:59:56,089 --> 00:59:54,720
quarantine when they're Johnson Space

1570
00:59:58,250 --> 00:59:56,099
Center they start to change the schedule

1571
00:59:59,690 --> 00:59:58,260
of the crew to shift their circadian

1572
01:00:01,309 --> 00:59:59,700
rhythm and it's a blend of the launch

1573
01:00:02,569 --> 01:00:01,319
time but the other thing is we don't

1574
01:00:03,470 --> 01:00:02,579
completely shift it because they also

1575
01:00:06,230 --> 01:00:03,480
need to when they get to the space

1576
01:00:09,589 --> 01:00:06,240
station we run on GMT or Zulu time and

1577
01:00:11,150 --> 01:00:09,599
so the there's the flight docks we've

1578
01:00:12,950 --> 01:00:11,160
got a long history of working with folks

1579
01:00:14,510 --> 01:00:12,960
who understand sleep patterns to finding

1580
01:00:16,789 --> 01:00:14,520
out basically what is the optimum blend

1581
01:00:17,870 --> 01:00:16,799
between launch time and when you show up

1582
01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:17,880
to the space station you don't want to

1583
01:00:21,829 --> 01:00:20,400
have to then shift your body again so we

1584
01:00:24,109 --> 01:00:21,839
kind of pick something in between so it

1585
01:00:25,430 --> 01:00:24,119
varies depending on that is I guess they

1586
01:00:27,230 --> 01:00:25,440
answer that question so it could be

1587
01:00:30,230 --> 01:00:27,240
maybe five six hours prior eight hours

1588
01:00:32,450 --> 01:00:30,240
prior and it has to do with making that

1589
01:00:34,309 --> 01:00:32,460
right compromise of crew awake time

1590
01:00:35,510 --> 01:00:34,319
versus trying to get their body clocks

1591
01:00:37,250 --> 01:00:35,520
on the right thing but even in crew

1592
01:00:38,990 --> 01:00:37,260
quarters for example we have all the the

1593
01:00:40,970 --> 01:00:39,000
rooms have different switches for banks

1594
01:00:43,250 --> 01:00:40,980
of light and so you can have like low

1595
01:00:46,609 --> 01:00:43,260
light or like full bright light and sort

1596
01:00:48,170 --> 01:00:46,619
of try to sync your body to that but my

1597
01:00:50,150 --> 01:00:48,180
guess is today probably like sixish

1598
01:00:52,670 --> 01:00:50,160
hours prior they were up I think most

1599
01:00:54,770 --> 01:00:52,680
people that were supporting uh including

1600
01:00:57,230 --> 01:00:54,780
us took a nap this afternoon so I think

1601
01:00:59,329 --> 01:00:57,240
the crew did the same and then woke up

1602
01:01:00,829 --> 01:00:59,339
probably about six hours prior to start

1603
01:01:02,930 --> 01:01:00,839
start the prep

1604
01:01:04,250 --> 01:01:02,940
and your flight doctors help with this

1605
01:01:05,930 --> 01:01:04,260
right because this is something that's

1606
01:01:08,390 --> 01:01:05,940
very calculated exactly in terms of

1607
01:01:10,010 --> 01:01:08,400
Shifting and they absolutely do yep and

1608
01:01:11,569 --> 01:01:10,020
so they actually build a hole that's

1609
01:01:13,490 --> 01:01:11,579
built into the whole plan and so even

1610
01:01:15,230 --> 01:01:13,500
like at the wet dress and the the lead

1611
01:01:16,190 --> 01:01:15,240
up to this it's that I was all accounted

1612
01:01:19,190 --> 01:01:16,200
for

1613
01:01:20,809 --> 01:01:19,200
um and yeah every as you're doing

1614
01:01:22,670 --> 01:01:20,819
training events still you're getting

1615
01:01:24,589 --> 01:01:22,680
briefs on the weather on the vehicle

1616
01:01:26,270 --> 01:01:24,599
status and all that is time to make sure

1617
01:01:33,349 --> 01:01:26,280
it is synced with whatever the Sleep

1618
01:01:38,870 --> 01:01:35,630
SpaceX copies standby for umbilical comp

1619
01:01:41,990 --> 01:01:40,849
all right so they're running a little

1620
01:01:44,569 --> 01:01:42,000
head it looks like

1621
01:01:46,789 --> 01:01:44,579
um so the crews got to display to give

1622
01:01:48,230 --> 01:01:46,799
us some waves

1623
01:01:50,750 --> 01:01:48,240
there's a procedure that they are

1624
01:01:52,549 --> 01:01:50,760
running called so SpaceX procedures are

1625
01:01:54,349 --> 01:01:52,559
a number with a DOT and something so

1626
01:01:57,349 --> 01:01:54,359
this would be 4.100 and the displays are

1627
01:01:58,849 --> 01:01:57,359
the procedures are on their displays and

1628
01:02:00,289 --> 01:01:58,859
so usually they'll have one display

1629
01:02:01,549 --> 01:02:00,299
that's showing the timeline and then

1630
01:02:02,809 --> 01:02:01,559
another display with this procedure up

1631
01:02:04,670 --> 01:02:02,819
so they just talked about the fact that

1632
01:02:07,190 --> 01:02:04,680
ready to do com checks and so there's

1633
01:02:08,510 --> 01:02:07,200
going to be a series of checks here we

1634
01:02:10,370 --> 01:02:08,520
talked earlier Daryl about how there's

1635
01:02:11,870 --> 01:02:10,380
different relays ones to the umbilical

1636
01:02:14,750 --> 01:02:11,880
which is the physical connection between

1637
01:02:16,730 --> 01:02:14,760
the dragon the launch pad and the ground

1638
01:02:17,809 --> 01:02:16,740
there's a t-dress connection you'll hear

1639
01:02:19,069 --> 01:02:17,819
I'm talking about which is a satellite

1640
01:02:21,109 --> 01:02:19,079
connection and then you'll hear

1641
01:02:23,270 --> 01:02:21,119
different people talking in them the MD

1642
01:02:32,690 --> 01:02:23,280
is a mission director Commander pilot

1643
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:36,530
contact

1644
01:02:39,589 --> 01:02:37,910
Chuck Commander have you loud and clear

1645
01:02:40,809 --> 01:02:39,599
and that's Arthur the core you're

1646
01:02:43,430 --> 01:02:40,819
talking to him

1647
01:02:45,470 --> 01:02:43,440
clear as well

1648
01:02:48,049 --> 01:02:45,480
as well the crew operation pilot we

1649
01:02:52,150 --> 01:02:48,059
hadn't clear resource engineer pilot

1650
01:03:00,829 --> 01:02:56,809
SX ms-1 come check

1651
01:03:06,770 --> 01:03:04,430
uh statistics this is MS2 I'll be with

1652
01:03:10,789 --> 01:03:09,410
MS2 loud and clear

1653
01:03:15,770 --> 01:03:10,799
umbilical comp check complete report

1654
01:03:19,130 --> 01:03:17,270
so there you heard the call for the seat

1655
01:03:21,170 --> 01:03:19,140
rotation so we're seeing the astronauts

1656
01:03:23,150 --> 01:03:21,180
and the Cosmonaut for the last time with

1657
01:03:25,430 --> 01:03:23,160
that camera inside the spacecraft before

1658
01:03:27,650 --> 01:03:25,440
that camera has to pull out

1659
01:03:30,470 --> 01:03:27,660
yeah SpaceX Dragon crew is ready for

1660
01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:30,480
seat rotation and those seats articulate

1661
01:03:35,450 --> 01:03:33,119
up so they can look at that display that

1662
01:03:38,210 --> 01:03:35,460
is at the top of the screen exactly yeah

1663
01:03:40,549 --> 01:03:38,220
you'll see uh it's the seats rotate for

1664
01:03:42,650 --> 01:03:40,559
both launch and Landings

1665
01:03:48,349 --> 01:03:42,660
so SpaceX copies Dragon we'll report

1666
01:03:52,010 --> 01:03:50,450
yeah so that's it it's like this to make

1667
01:03:54,289 --> 01:03:52,020
it easier to get in a shading seat

1668
01:03:55,789 --> 01:03:54,299
rotation you'll start shooting move to

1669
01:03:57,230 --> 01:03:55,799
start to make it easier to get in and

1670
01:03:58,730 --> 01:03:57,240
out for both the people in the cargo but

1671
01:04:00,710 --> 01:03:58,740
then you rotate the seats for launched

1672
01:04:04,910 --> 01:04:00,720
Landings The g-forces are more through

1673
01:04:06,650 --> 01:04:04,920
your chest and not in like a more odd uh

1674
01:04:08,150 --> 01:04:06,660
you don't want to be like in a uh

1675
01:04:10,069 --> 01:04:08,160
pulling it down from here yeah exactly

1676
01:04:11,630 --> 01:04:10,079
it makes it exactly so this makes it

1677
01:04:13,069 --> 01:04:11,640
much more easy to sustain the G's when

1678
01:04:14,270 --> 01:04:13,079
it's pushing through your chest kind of

1679
01:04:16,190 --> 01:04:14,280
like someone sitting on your chest as

1680
01:04:17,690 --> 01:04:16,200
opposed to pulling it down uh towards

1681
01:04:20,930 --> 01:04:17,700
your feet and you can see the cargo

1682
01:04:24,109 --> 01:04:20,940
underneath there there they go

1683
01:04:26,150 --> 01:04:24,119
rotating articulating I should say

1684
01:04:28,190 --> 01:04:26,160
up into that flight position

1685
01:04:32,150 --> 01:04:28,200
they'll be able to look at their screen

1686
01:04:33,650 --> 01:04:32,160
and monitor the systems as dragon is

1687
01:04:35,329 --> 01:04:33,660
prepared for flight along with the

1688
01:04:37,309 --> 01:04:35,339
falcon 9.

1689
01:04:38,329 --> 01:04:37,319
need shot there yep so you can see it's

1690
01:04:39,890 --> 01:04:38,339
not just people going up the space

1691
01:04:40,849 --> 01:04:39,900
station a whole bunch of stuff getting

1692
01:04:42,829 --> 01:04:40,859
hauled up there as well that's right

1693
01:04:45,049 --> 01:04:42,839
Dragon SpaceX see through the launch

1694
01:04:58,789 --> 01:04:45,059
position

1695
01:05:04,069 --> 01:05:01,010
so the umbilical com checks were all the

1696
01:05:08,329 --> 01:05:06,289
yep the next I think next big thing for

1697
01:05:10,910 --> 01:05:08,339
the crew

1698
01:05:12,470 --> 01:05:10,920
will likely be suit leak checks but

1699
01:05:13,849 --> 01:05:12,480
that's probably a little ways off in the

1700
01:05:15,230 --> 01:05:13,859
meantime what they're probably doing in

1701
01:05:16,849 --> 01:05:15,240
between themselves is adjusting those

1702
01:05:18,890 --> 01:05:16,859
Vox settings and like and that's the

1703
01:05:20,990 --> 01:05:18,900
sensitivity of the mic uh and so you're

1704
01:05:22,250 --> 01:05:21,000
you're kind of tuning it so that you're

1705
01:05:23,510 --> 01:05:22,260
not hearing background noise but that

1706
01:05:26,210 --> 01:05:23,520
you can hear each other Talking Dragon

1707
01:05:28,849 --> 01:05:26,220
SpaceX your go for section two suit leak

1708
01:05:34,490 --> 01:05:30,710
and we've got section two excuse me

1709
01:05:37,250 --> 01:05:36,289
and so Steve mentioned section two that

1710
01:05:38,809 --> 01:05:37,260
was the procedure I was talking about

1711
01:05:40,490 --> 01:05:38,819
before so they're doing on the screens

1712
01:05:42,710 --> 01:05:40,500
you'll see them running through the

1713
01:05:43,849 --> 01:05:42,720
steps there uh Steve's probably telling

1714
01:05:46,130 --> 01:05:43,859
them to lower their visors which is why

1715
01:05:48,589 --> 01:05:46,140
they just did that he's reviewing the

1716
01:05:50,030 --> 01:05:48,599
the steps that are in the procedure

1717
01:05:52,190 --> 01:05:50,040
um essentially when they're doing this

1718
01:05:53,990 --> 01:05:52,200
they're going to kind of stay still and

1719
01:05:55,309 --> 01:05:54,000
let the suit the Nitro start to flow

1720
01:05:56,630 --> 01:05:55,319
it's going to pressurize the suit you'll

1721
01:05:58,370 --> 01:05:56,640
probably see them tuck their arms in

1722
01:06:00,170 --> 01:05:58,380
you'll see the suit inflate a bit you'll

1723
01:06:01,789 --> 01:06:00,180
probably see that helmet move up again

1724
01:06:03,410 --> 01:06:01,799
move up and that's why I mentioned

1725
01:06:05,270 --> 01:06:03,420
before why it's why it has to be tight

1726
01:06:07,250 --> 01:06:05,280
so that they can still see out of it got

1727
01:06:08,390 --> 01:06:07,260
the visors closed as well Yep they're

1728
01:06:09,349 --> 01:06:08,400
tightening the straps down and then

1729
01:06:10,970 --> 01:06:09,359
they're going to be looking at so

1730
01:06:12,170 --> 01:06:10,980
Stephen Woody and actually all of them

1731
01:06:13,370 --> 01:06:12,180
but there's displays right in front of

1732
01:06:14,750 --> 01:06:13,380
them they're going to show them the the

1733
01:06:17,150 --> 01:06:14,760
suit Delta pressure and they're making

1734
01:06:19,309 --> 01:06:17,160
sure that the suit can hold the pressure

1735
01:06:21,349 --> 01:06:19,319
that there's no leaks Andre's got his

1736
01:06:22,970 --> 01:06:21,359
hands in position now that you mentioned

1737
01:06:25,069 --> 01:06:22,980
was coming up

1738
01:06:26,210 --> 01:06:25,079
and you'll see after this after this

1739
01:06:28,069 --> 01:06:26,220
leak check you'll see they will never

1740
01:06:29,870 --> 01:06:28,079
touch their zippers again the only thing

1741
01:06:31,370 --> 01:06:29,880
they'll do is open and close visors but

1742
01:06:32,630 --> 01:06:31,380
after this leak check that's the last

1743
01:06:33,890 --> 01:06:32,640
time they'll mess Within These zippers

1744
01:06:36,250 --> 01:06:33,900
once you know they're good to go leave

1745
01:06:38,569 --> 01:06:36,260
them alone exactly yep

1746
01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:38,579
Dragon terrorist complete we are ready

1747
01:06:50,569 --> 01:06:47,510
T minus two hours and 24 minutes until

1748
01:06:53,990 --> 01:06:50,579
liftoff SpaceX copies your go for

1749
01:06:56,029 --> 01:06:54,000
section three suit League Tech

1750
01:06:57,529 --> 01:06:56,039
and we got section three see if we check

1751
01:06:59,150 --> 01:06:57,539
in work

1752
01:07:00,650 --> 01:06:59,160
so you heard Steve first mentioned that

1753
01:07:01,970 --> 01:07:00,660
the tear was complete so just like if

1754
01:07:04,370 --> 01:07:01,980
you're away in food when you're cooking

1755
01:07:06,589 --> 01:07:04,380
it you tear it like with the dish they

1756
01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:06,599
tear the suits um to zero wise it and

1757
01:07:09,770 --> 01:07:08,160
then they start the leak check so that

1758
01:07:11,210 --> 01:07:09,780
way uh you've basically taken out any

1759
01:07:13,370 --> 01:07:11,220
bias in the in the soup pressure

1760
01:07:14,569 --> 01:07:13,380
meetings and now he's they're just going

1761
01:07:15,950 --> 01:07:14,579
through it uh you'll know they're about

1762
01:07:17,270 --> 01:07:15,960
to do it when you see Woody and Steve's

1763
01:07:24,890 --> 01:07:17,280
hands come down and get still and then

1764
01:07:28,910 --> 01:07:26,750
if you're the commander

1765
01:07:33,049 --> 01:07:28,920
for crew three

1766
01:07:34,789 --> 01:07:33,059
what's your role in this moment so my

1767
01:07:37,130 --> 01:07:34,799
analogy that I like to use is kind of

1768
01:07:38,990 --> 01:07:37,140
like a professional coach of a team

1769
01:07:41,029 --> 01:07:39,000
where you're not really you know if

1770
01:07:42,109 --> 01:07:41,039
you're an NBA coach or NFL or major

1771
01:07:43,910 --> 01:07:42,119
league baseball coach you're not

1772
01:07:45,770 --> 01:07:43,920
teaching people how to play you're just

1773
01:07:47,270 --> 01:07:45,780
trying to get them to work together in

1774
01:07:49,309 --> 01:07:47,280
the most efficient way and that's the

1775
01:07:50,870 --> 01:07:49,319
same thing all of everyone in our office

1776
01:07:53,270 --> 01:07:50,880
is highly trained I don't need to tell

1777
01:07:54,589 --> 01:07:53,280
anyone how to do their job but more it's

1778
01:07:56,990 --> 01:07:54,599
a matter of like okay for this emergency

1779
01:07:59,270 --> 01:07:57,000
you know Steve might say okay in the

1780
01:08:00,710 --> 01:07:59,280
case of uh a depressed then Woody you're

1781
01:08:02,390 --> 01:08:00,720
doing this Sultan you're doing this

1782
01:08:04,010 --> 01:08:02,400
Andre you're doing that sort of and then

1783
01:08:05,510 --> 01:08:04,020
and the important thing is iterating on

1784
01:08:07,190 --> 01:08:05,520
that so you have a SIM you see how that

1785
01:08:09,109 --> 01:08:07,200
goes and even if it went great maybe

1786
01:08:10,970 --> 01:08:09,119
change it the next time to see like oh

1787
01:08:12,650 --> 01:08:10,980
that either went better or it validates

1788
01:08:14,089 --> 01:08:12,660
that we have the right approach so it's

1789
01:08:16,849 --> 01:08:14,099
kind of working with the training team

1790
01:08:18,229 --> 01:08:16,859
to to figure out the best we call it CRM

1791
01:08:21,289 --> 01:08:18,239
or career Resource Management what is

1792
01:08:24,349 --> 01:08:21,299
the optimum way to use the crew skills

1793
01:08:26,749 --> 01:08:24,359
in a very a variety of environments and

1794
01:08:28,309 --> 01:08:26,759
and sometimes maybe having the same

1795
01:08:30,430 --> 01:08:28,319
approach so having like a buddy system

1796
01:08:32,809 --> 01:08:30,440
Maybe works but maybe

1797
01:08:33,950 --> 01:08:32,819
you know there's a balance of like do

1798
01:08:35,990 --> 01:08:33,960
you want to keep it simple or maybe

1799
01:08:38,870 --> 01:08:36,000
there's a certain reason to do something

1800
01:08:40,249 --> 01:08:38,880
like for example depending on how good

1801
01:08:43,729 --> 01:08:40,259
like my Russian wasn't really great

1802
01:08:45,349 --> 01:08:43,739
right so so if we had had a Russian crew

1803
01:08:46,729 --> 01:08:45,359
member we had you know Tom probably

1804
01:08:48,110 --> 01:08:46,739
would have sat next to that person we

1805
01:08:49,910 --> 01:08:48,120
would have figured that out or figured

1806
01:08:51,289 --> 01:08:49,920
out certain emergency so

1807
01:08:52,669 --> 01:08:51,299
um you know Woody's a lot smarter than

1808
01:08:54,349 --> 01:08:52,679
me and Steve's been speaking Russian a

1809
01:08:55,370 --> 01:08:54,359
lot longer so I'm sure they didn't have

1810
01:08:57,769 --> 01:08:55,380
that I'm sure they didn't have that

1811
01:08:59,630 --> 01:08:57,779
concern but things like that uh so it's

1812
01:09:04,209 --> 01:08:59,640
uh just trying to figure out how to best

1813
01:09:08,689 --> 01:09:06,289
yeah you can see that's why Woody's

1814
01:09:10,130 --> 01:09:08,699
hands look like uh a mummy there to

1815
01:09:12,289 --> 01:09:10,140
sticking out yeah you can see the their

1816
01:09:14,450 --> 01:09:12,299
knees have gotten much puffier you can

1817
01:09:16,130 --> 01:09:14,460
see Andre's head like the helmet now is

1818
01:09:18,050 --> 01:09:16,140
you know he could still see his nose in

1819
01:09:19,970 --> 01:09:18,060
his eyes but it's it's risen up you can

1820
01:09:21,829 --> 01:09:19,980
see how it's extended there in his neck

1821
01:09:23,870 --> 01:09:21,839
and that's why it's so important to be

1822
01:09:25,669 --> 01:09:23,880
fully strapped in because if you weren't

1823
01:09:27,530 --> 01:09:25,679
fully strapped in in the suit you would

1824
01:09:28,970 --> 01:09:27,540
turn in like you'd basically just puff

1825
01:09:31,070 --> 01:09:28,980
up and wouldn't be able to move your

1826
01:09:33,229 --> 01:09:31,080
arms or legs so these are not like what

1827
01:09:35,269 --> 01:09:33,239
we call the emu's these are not meant to

1828
01:09:37,070 --> 01:09:35,279
go Eva or do spacewalks these kind of

1829
01:09:38,450 --> 01:09:37,080
Suits these are called IV suits meant

1830
01:09:39,890 --> 01:09:38,460
for in the vehicle

1831
01:09:42,590 --> 01:09:39,900
um and as you mentioned to protect you

1832
01:09:46,010 --> 01:09:42,600
from a fire or a depress but not to go

1833
01:09:48,470 --> 01:09:46,020
outside and actually move around

1834
01:09:50,870 --> 01:09:48,480
and we just heard from Johnson Space

1835
01:09:53,990 --> 01:09:50,880
Center that we have

1836
01:09:55,189 --> 01:09:54,000
four passing leak checks excellent you

1837
01:09:56,930 --> 01:09:55,199
can see they're deflating you can see

1838
01:09:59,870 --> 01:09:56,940
actually the suit getting smaller on

1839
01:10:03,050 --> 01:09:59,880
them yeah see it depressing SpaceX

1840
01:10:05,930 --> 01:10:03,060
Dragon we have nominal checks for all

1841
01:10:09,410 --> 01:10:07,729
next you'll see there pop their visors

1842
01:10:11,450 --> 01:10:09,420
up shortly

1843
01:10:12,410 --> 01:10:11,460
SpaceX copies and concurs could suit the

1844
01:10:14,030 --> 01:10:12,420
checks

1845
01:10:16,850 --> 01:10:14,040
closeout team will now perform final

1846
01:10:19,850 --> 01:10:16,860
closeout steps and exit capsule proceed

1847
01:10:21,470 --> 01:10:19,860
to section four for site hatch closure

1848
01:10:22,490 --> 01:10:21,480
and Report when ready to close side

1849
01:10:24,470 --> 01:10:22,500
hatch

1850
01:10:28,910 --> 01:10:24,480
also stand by for ground station com

1851
01:10:35,149 --> 01:10:30,890
for side hatch closure and we'll report

1852
01:10:38,870 --> 01:10:37,250
we've been taking social questions and

1853
01:10:39,590 --> 01:10:38,880
uh we appreciate you bringing them in

1854
01:10:41,630 --> 01:10:39,600
and

1855
01:10:43,250 --> 01:10:41,640
rosh has been giving us some excellent

1856
01:10:45,649 --> 01:10:43,260
insights I want to take another question

1857
01:10:48,050 --> 01:10:45,659
while the closeout crew inspects the

1858
01:10:50,330 --> 01:10:48,060
seal around the hatch

1859
01:10:53,030 --> 01:10:50,340
jump on Facebook Twitter Youtube and

1860
01:10:55,010 --> 01:10:53,040
twitch at hashtag asknasa to get your

1861
01:10:57,350 --> 01:10:55,020
question in our question comes from

1862
01:10:59,570 --> 01:10:57,360
Professor Marvel and the crew is ready

1863
01:11:02,510 --> 01:10:59,580
for side hatch closure

1864
01:11:04,910 --> 01:11:02,520
so cool to hear about the dragonflies as

1865
01:11:07,490 --> 01:11:04,920
a good sign Raja mentioned that a little

1866
01:11:10,610 --> 01:11:07,500
bit earlier that a dragonfly when seen

1867
01:11:12,770 --> 01:11:10,620
inside this room was a good luck sign

1868
01:11:14,450 --> 01:11:12,780
one of the things are regarded as good

1869
01:11:15,709 --> 01:11:14,460
luck yeah and I should caveat that's on

1870
01:11:17,930 --> 01:11:15,719
on dry dress because as you mentioned

1871
01:11:19,850 --> 01:11:17,940
it's a it's a clean room now yes so see

1872
01:11:22,370 --> 01:11:19,860
you again see you again dragonfly that

1873
01:11:23,870 --> 01:11:22,380
would be bad because that means yeah

1874
01:11:25,610 --> 01:11:23,880
that means there's bugs inside the yeah

1875
01:11:27,410 --> 01:11:25,620
so I should have made that more clear

1876
01:11:29,270 --> 01:11:27,420
before yes during transportal yes uh

1877
01:11:32,030 --> 01:11:29,280
let's see other things

1878
01:11:35,090 --> 01:11:32,040
um let me think about that uh I think so

1879
01:11:37,070 --> 01:11:35,100
slapping if you so Steve probably had an

1880
01:11:39,290 --> 01:11:37,080
STS shuttle patch on the outside of

1881
01:11:43,070 --> 01:11:39,300
thing so slapping your patch on the way

1882
01:11:46,310 --> 01:11:43,080
into the aqf facility is like a that's a

1883
01:11:47,930 --> 01:11:46,320
thing right yep so Sultan give his yep

1884
01:11:49,490 --> 01:11:47,940
yeah that's a that's uh I'm trying to

1885
01:11:51,770 --> 01:11:49,500
think of other ones

1886
01:11:53,570 --> 01:11:51,780
um oh on the way out of crew quarters

1887
01:11:55,130 --> 01:11:53,580
the chin typically the chief of the ass

1888
01:11:59,330 --> 01:11:55,140
around office there'll be some kind of

1889
01:12:00,770 --> 01:11:59,340
uh card game some some uh it changes

1890
01:12:01,970 --> 01:12:00,780
recruiter crew but there's some

1891
01:12:03,110 --> 01:12:01,980
something they'll do with the chief of

1892
01:12:07,010 --> 01:12:03,120
the astronaut office right before they

1893
01:12:08,030 --> 01:12:07,020
leave the the suit room and honestly no

1894
01:12:10,970 --> 01:12:08,040
one remembers if you're supposed to win

1895
01:12:12,290 --> 01:12:10,980
or lose I think you played it I did yes

1896
01:12:13,850 --> 01:12:12,300
well there's this debate like are you

1897
01:12:15,890 --> 01:12:13,860
supposed to so one argument is you're

1898
01:12:17,390 --> 01:12:15,900
supposed to lose because then you've

1899
01:12:19,250 --> 01:12:17,400
gotten rid of all your bad luck leave

1900
01:12:20,390 --> 01:12:19,260
the bad luck exactly the other one is

1901
01:12:21,590 --> 01:12:20,400
you're supposed to win because that you

1902
01:12:23,689 --> 01:12:21,600
feel good it's like here so I don't know

1903
01:12:27,290 --> 01:12:23,699
what the right answer is uh we actually

1904
01:12:29,450 --> 01:12:27,300
played uh uh a little mini game of

1905
01:12:30,770 --> 01:12:29,460
shuffleboard uh we kind of shuffled

1906
01:12:33,050 --> 01:12:30,780
based on our yeah we had a little

1907
01:12:35,570 --> 01:12:33,060
tradition when we were in training uh of

1908
01:12:36,890 --> 01:12:35,580
playing little mini shuffleboard with uh

1909
01:12:38,810 --> 01:12:36,900
not the shuffleboard like the huge

1910
01:12:40,189 --> 01:12:38,820
sticks that's a little little one yeah

1911
01:12:42,410 --> 01:12:40,199
okay um so that was what actually

1912
01:12:44,570 --> 01:12:42,420
elected to do and then we did pick a do

1913
01:12:46,189 --> 01:12:44,580
a game of war in terms of like picking

1914
01:12:47,570 --> 01:12:46,199
who had the high card but I honestly

1915
01:12:49,490 --> 01:12:47,580
can't remember I won or lost because we

1916
01:12:51,050 --> 01:12:49,500
decided we weren't sure which it was

1917
01:12:52,669 --> 01:12:51,060
supposed to be so I'm not sure what uh

1918
01:12:54,169 --> 01:12:52,679
Joe elected to do

1919
01:12:55,490 --> 01:12:54,179
um well whatever it was it worked out

1920
01:12:56,930 --> 01:12:55,500
great exactly

1921
01:12:57,830 --> 01:12:56,940
yeah we should have written that down I

1922
01:13:00,110 --> 01:12:57,840
guess

1923
01:13:01,250 --> 01:13:00,120
well thank you Professor marbles who by

1924
01:13:03,290 --> 01:13:01,260
the way is one of our social

1925
01:13:05,930 --> 01:13:03,300
participants here at the Kennedy Space

1926
01:13:08,209 --> 01:13:05,940
Center with a number of NASA social

1927
01:13:10,550 --> 01:13:08,219
participants being hosted by the Kennedy

1928
01:13:12,229 --> 01:13:10,560
Space Center uh we reach out and uh

1929
01:13:12,770 --> 01:13:12,239
invite

1930
01:13:14,990 --> 01:13:12,780
um

1931
01:13:17,390 --> 01:13:15,000
folks who are leaders in the social

1932
01:13:19,490 --> 01:13:17,400
space to come out and visit the Kennedy

1933
01:13:22,010 --> 01:13:19,500
Space Center for a launch they're all

1934
01:13:24,050 --> 01:13:22,020
here ready to watch their launch many of

1935
01:13:26,630 --> 01:13:24,060
them for the first time like you yeah

1936
01:13:28,490 --> 01:13:26,640
exactly right SpaceX closeout team is

1937
01:13:30,350 --> 01:13:28,500
taking final steps in preparation just

1938
01:13:32,870 --> 01:13:30,360
close the side hatch standby for

1939
01:13:35,090 --> 01:13:32,880
transition to pad hatch closed ensure

1940
01:13:37,550 --> 01:13:35,100
all items remain secure from now through

1941
01:13:43,490 --> 01:13:40,430
SpaceX Dragon thoughts

1942
01:13:45,050 --> 01:13:43,500
and now we're at hatch close

1943
01:13:46,669 --> 01:13:45,060
yep I see you heard that call from the

1944
01:13:49,070 --> 01:13:46,679
core so there's nothing the crew is

1945
01:13:50,390 --> 01:13:49,080
actually doing in terms of the actual

1946
01:13:52,130 --> 01:13:50,400
hatch closing you can see they have

1947
01:13:53,930 --> 01:13:52,140
those more powerful lights out they're

1948
01:13:56,390 --> 01:13:53,940
monitoring the key thing he told him was

1949
01:13:57,470 --> 01:13:56,400
not bit so basically up to this point

1950
01:13:59,270 --> 01:13:57,480
they could be moving things out of their

1951
01:14:00,770 --> 01:13:59,280
satchels maybe moving their iPads around

1952
01:14:01,850 --> 01:14:00,780
but from this point out you don't want

1953
01:14:04,430 --> 01:14:01,860
to do that because if something falls

1954
01:14:06,470 --> 01:14:04,440
off your leg you lose a pen now you've

1955
01:14:08,570 --> 01:14:06,480
got a piece of fod in the in the capsule

1956
01:14:10,370 --> 01:14:08,580
so basically they're no longer going to

1957
01:14:13,310 --> 01:14:10,380
mess with anything other than the

1958
01:14:15,110 --> 01:14:13,320
displays and their their arm rests

1959
01:14:17,090 --> 01:14:15,120
nothing you know no taking pencils out

1960
01:14:18,590 --> 01:14:17,100
or doing like that so they are probably

1961
01:14:20,510 --> 01:14:18,600
doing the last bit of configuration you

1962
01:14:21,770 --> 01:14:20,520
saw those like kneeboard cards that they

1963
01:14:23,689 --> 01:14:21,780
had on their legs like making sure those

1964
01:14:24,770 --> 01:14:23,699
are Belgard on but they have access to

1965
01:14:27,169 --> 01:14:24,780
the pen or pencil they want to be able

1966
01:14:28,669 --> 01:14:27,179
to write down notes with and getting all

1967
01:14:31,010 --> 01:14:28,679
that done

1968
01:14:33,770 --> 01:14:31,020
so as we watch this we're going to split

1969
01:14:37,370 --> 01:14:33,780
the screen so we can maintain our visual

1970
01:14:39,050 --> 01:14:37,380
of the closeout crew inspecting the

1971
01:14:40,910 --> 01:14:39,060
hatch before they close it but we also

1972
01:14:43,850 --> 01:14:40,920
want to look back to a little history

1973
01:14:46,010 --> 01:14:43,860
and a recent honor that happened for a

1974
01:14:47,810 --> 01:14:46,020
couple of our astronauts today we are

1975
01:14:50,630 --> 01:14:47,820
launching American astronauts on

1976
01:14:52,910 --> 01:14:50,640
American Rockets from American soil but

1977
01:14:55,189 --> 01:14:52,920
it all began with two Trailblazers of

1978
01:14:58,370 --> 01:14:55,199
the commercial crew program who recently

1979
01:15:01,130 --> 01:14:58,380
received the highest civilian honor and

1980
01:15:04,729 --> 01:15:01,140
Astronaut can achieve

1981
01:15:08,090 --> 01:15:04,739
it is my great honor to award you both

1982
01:15:10,729 --> 01:15:08,100
the Congressional space Medal of Honor

1983
01:15:12,590 --> 01:15:10,739
in January vice president Kamala Harris

1984
01:15:15,050 --> 01:15:12,600
spoke to a packed room at the White

1985
01:15:17,990 --> 01:15:15,060
House about the dedication of NASA

1986
01:15:20,330 --> 01:15:18,000
astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob binkin

1987
01:15:21,110 --> 01:15:20,340
Bob and Doug represent the best of our

1988
01:15:23,510 --> 01:15:21,120
nation

1989
01:15:25,490 --> 01:15:23,520
there's no question about it NASA

1990
01:15:28,070 --> 01:15:25,500
selected both men to be astronauts for

1991
01:15:29,990 --> 01:15:28,080
the space shuttle program in 2000 but

1992
01:15:33,229 --> 01:15:30,000
when the shuttle program ended 11 years

1993
01:15:35,570 --> 01:15:33,239
later Doug and Bob's work did not

1994
01:15:37,850 --> 01:15:35,580
NASA collaborated with the private

1995
01:15:40,630 --> 01:15:37,860
sector to build the next generation of

1996
01:15:43,130 --> 01:15:40,640
spacecraft every part of the capsule

1997
01:15:46,850 --> 01:15:43,140
from flight controls and emergency

1998
01:15:50,450 --> 01:15:46,860
procedures to computer displays and

1999
01:15:53,810 --> 01:15:50,460
cockpit layout all of that shaped by Bob

2000
01:15:56,930 --> 01:15:53,820
and Doug's Decades of know-how

2001
01:15:59,450 --> 01:15:56,940
and in May of 2020 the SpaceX crew

2002
01:16:02,689 --> 01:15:59,460
Dragon was ready to soar

2003
01:16:04,430 --> 01:16:02,699
Bob and Doug returned to the Kennedy

2004
01:16:06,470 --> 01:16:04,440
Space Center

2005
01:16:09,530 --> 01:16:06,480
they suited up

2006
01:16:12,649 --> 01:16:09,540
they waved to their families

2007
01:16:14,510 --> 01:16:12,659
and they rode an elevator up nearly 20

2008
01:16:17,630 --> 01:16:14,520
stories

2009
01:16:20,870 --> 01:16:17,640
they strapped in to their seats and

2010
01:16:23,570 --> 01:16:20,880
waited as the tanks beneath them filled

2011
01:16:25,490 --> 01:16:23,580
with tens of thousands of gallons of

2012
01:16:30,130 --> 01:16:25,500
fuel and then

2013
01:16:33,169 --> 01:16:30,140
three two one zero ignition

2014
01:16:37,010 --> 01:16:33,179
liftoff of the Falcon 9 and crew dragon

2015
01:16:39,410 --> 01:16:37,020
Go NASA go space Ducks got speed bottom

2016
01:16:44,390 --> 01:16:41,930
demo 2 was the first crude flight for

2017
01:16:47,870 --> 01:16:44,400
NASA's commercial crew program ushering

2018
01:16:50,870 --> 01:16:47,880
in a new era of human space flight

2019
01:16:53,390 --> 01:16:50,880
and now the names Doug Hurley and Bob

2020
01:16:55,970 --> 01:16:53,400
binkin have been added to an elite list

2021
01:16:58,010 --> 01:16:55,980
prior to the ceremony the Congressional

2022
01:17:00,470 --> 01:16:58,020
space Medal of Honor had only been given

2023
01:17:03,410 --> 01:17:00,480
to 28 people astronauts like Neil

2024
01:17:05,810 --> 01:17:03,420
Armstrong and John Glenn

2025
01:17:07,729 --> 01:17:05,820
we're following in their footsteps and

2026
01:17:10,189 --> 01:17:07,739
you know so it's just an incredible

2027
01:17:11,990 --> 01:17:10,199
incredible incredible honor it was

2028
01:17:14,030 --> 01:17:12,000
humbling to be a part of the mission you

2029
01:17:16,310 --> 01:17:14,040
know we got to be the smiling faces on

2030
01:17:19,250 --> 01:17:16,320
the pointy end of a rocket ship because

2031
01:17:21,290 --> 01:17:19,260
of their bravery missions like crew 6

2032
01:17:24,229 --> 01:17:21,300
are happening today

2033
01:17:27,350 --> 01:17:24,239
Bob and Doug together

2034
01:17:29,510 --> 01:17:27,360
have written the first page

2035
01:17:31,130 --> 01:17:29,520
of a new chapter

2036
01:17:37,010 --> 01:17:31,140
in the history

2037
01:17:42,470 --> 01:17:39,470
Bob and Doug dedicated their careers to

2038
01:17:44,450 --> 01:17:42,480
space flight what an honor Raja yeah it

2039
01:17:46,610 --> 01:17:44,460
was uh it was so cool I got to actually

2040
01:17:48,770 --> 01:17:46,620
the honor to work with them uh as we

2041
01:17:49,850 --> 01:17:48,780
approached demo 2 and the you know the

2042
01:17:51,590 --> 01:17:49,860
vice president could have said it better

2043
01:17:53,930 --> 01:17:51,600
they have set the stage for a whole new

2044
01:17:56,570 --> 01:17:53,940
era of space flight and we are seeing it

2045
01:17:58,490 --> 01:17:56,580
you know that we uh whether it's uh the

2046
01:18:00,649 --> 01:17:58,500
dragon the Starliner they were in on the

2047
01:18:03,229 --> 01:18:00,659
ground floor doing all that and exactly

2048
01:18:05,149 --> 01:18:03,239
like she said their influences all over

2049
01:18:07,250 --> 01:18:05,159
this vehicle and they're you know the

2050
01:18:09,410 --> 01:18:07,260
way they worked with SpaceX to help

2051
01:18:11,149 --> 01:18:09,420
design it we are all benefiting that we

2052
01:18:12,590 --> 01:18:11,159
continue to benefit from it today and so

2053
01:18:14,030 --> 01:18:12,600
actually more more than a few times in

2054
01:18:15,530 --> 01:18:14,040
trade like why why is it like this like

2055
01:18:18,169 --> 01:18:15,540
oh Bob and Doug yeah that makes sense

2056
01:18:21,169 --> 01:18:18,179
all right yeah so it was uh it was very

2057
01:18:23,930 --> 01:18:21,179

01:20:12,169 --> 01:20:09,840
Jasmine

2110
01:20:14,689 --> 01:20:12,179
thanks so much Courtney back at Kennedy

2111
01:20:16,610 --> 01:20:14,699
here joining us now is NASA recovery

2112
01:20:18,950 --> 01:20:16,620
director Brian Berry thanks for being

2113
01:20:20,689 --> 01:20:18,960
here of course thank you of course so

2114
01:20:22,729 --> 01:20:20,699
Brian we understand that you are the

2115
01:20:24,709 --> 01:20:22,739
NASA recovery director for crew 5 but

2116
01:20:26,030 --> 01:20:24,719
you've actually done a lot of things for

2117
01:20:27,770 --> 01:20:26,040
human space flight can you tell us more

2118
01:20:29,689 --> 01:20:27,780
about that sure yeah that's right so I

2119
01:20:32,030 --> 01:20:29,699
started my career as a flight controller

2120
01:20:33,709 --> 01:20:32,040
for the ISS program my team was

2121
01:20:36,649 --> 01:20:33,719
responsible for maintenance on the space

2122
01:20:38,209 --> 01:20:36,659
station so I had the opportunity to work

2123
01:20:41,390 --> 01:20:38,219
directly with the astronauts train them

2124
01:20:42,950 --> 01:20:41,400
on tools and repair procedures so that

2125
01:20:44,450 --> 01:20:42,960
was a lot of fun and something I never

2126
01:20:47,030 --> 01:20:44,460
thought I would do when I was studying

2127
01:20:49,790 --> 01:20:47,040
to be an engineer after that I moved

2128
01:20:52,070 --> 01:20:49,800
over to the safety team and I was our

2129
01:20:53,930 --> 01:20:52,080
safety rep for the commercial crew

2130
01:20:56,149 --> 01:20:53,940
program safety panel so that was my

2131
01:20:58,970 --> 01:20:56,159
first exposure to CCP and I would go

2132
01:21:00,830 --> 01:20:58,980
review the hazard reports for Dragon and

2133
01:21:01,850 --> 01:21:00,840
Starliner

2134
01:21:03,470 --> 01:21:01,860
um that was a pretty neat experience

2135
01:21:05,870 --> 01:21:03,480
also because I was able to work with Bob

2136
01:21:07,250 --> 01:21:05,880
and Doug prior to demo 2 and just kind

2137
01:21:09,050 --> 01:21:07,260
of work with them on the hazard reports

2138
01:21:12,110 --> 01:21:09,060
and get their perspective on on the risk

2139
01:21:15,110 --> 01:21:12,120
and the mission overall after that in

2140
01:21:16,790 --> 01:21:15,120
2020 I came out to commercial crew and I

2141
01:21:18,110 --> 01:21:16,800
worked for them directly now and I've

2142
01:21:21,550 --> 01:21:18,120
been doing launch and Recovery

2143
01:21:24,770 --> 01:21:21,560
operations since then on the launch Team

2144
01:21:27,649 --> 01:21:24,780
my role is to lead the rescue effort if

2145
01:21:30,350 --> 01:21:27,659
we need to if there's a pad emergency

2146
01:21:31,910 --> 01:21:30,360
egress or a paddle board the launch

2147
01:21:33,770 --> 01:21:31,920
rescue director calls in the rescue

2148
01:21:36,410 --> 01:21:33,780
forces so that's what I did for crew 5

2149
01:21:38,689 --> 01:21:36,420
launch last year and then as the

2150
01:21:40,070 --> 01:21:38,699
recovery director I lead the NASA

2151
01:21:42,530 --> 01:21:40,080
portion of the team that goes out on the

2152
01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:42,540
ship with SpaceX we bring out our flight

2153
01:21:45,649 --> 01:21:44,159
surgeons and we check out the crew and

2154
01:21:47,689 --> 01:21:45,659
we load them up on the helicopter and

2155
01:21:49,850 --> 01:21:47,699
get them back home right so you've won a

2156
01:21:52,669 --> 01:21:51,110
what did your work as a flight

2157
01:21:54,470 --> 01:21:52,679
controller in Houston prepare you to be

2158
01:21:56,990 --> 01:21:54,480
a NASA recovery director

2159
01:21:58,790 --> 01:21:57,000
well in Houston work in the ISS

2160
01:22:00,590 --> 01:21:58,800
operations you know you see day in and

2161
01:22:02,209 --> 01:22:00,600
day out in the control center you get

2162
01:22:04,370 --> 01:22:02,219
the full feel of the six-month Mission

2163
01:22:06,950 --> 01:22:04,380
so you understand what the crew is going

2164
01:22:08,209 --> 01:22:06,960
through for that long of a mission and I

2165
01:22:11,030 --> 01:22:08,219
think I just kind of bring that crew

2166
01:22:13,370 --> 01:22:11,040
perspective of the ISS side to the CCP

2167
01:22:15,830 --> 01:22:13,380
program and so when it's time to bring

2168
01:22:18,229 --> 01:22:15,840
the crew home you know we we know we owe

2169
01:22:20,030 --> 01:22:18,239
them a smooth and speedy recovery so

2170
01:22:21,950 --> 01:22:20,040
that's our priority and our objective

2171
01:22:23,270 --> 01:22:21,960
right Brian it's great that you have

2172
01:22:24,890 --> 01:22:23,280
that personal relationship with them

2173
01:22:27,229 --> 01:22:24,900
what challenges do you and the recovery

2174
01:22:29,090 --> 01:22:27,239
team have to be prepared for well the

2175
01:22:31,430 --> 01:22:29,100
biggest challenge for Recovery uh for

2176
01:22:33,229 --> 01:22:31,440
for Dragon is definitely the weather we

2177
01:22:35,390 --> 01:22:33,239
have to find a landing site where the

2178
01:22:38,209 --> 01:22:35,400
winds are low and the waves are low

2179
01:22:39,470 --> 01:22:38,219
um so SpaceX has several Landing sites

2180
01:22:42,530 --> 01:22:39,480
around the State of Florida that we can

2181
01:22:44,390 --> 01:22:42,540
look at and choose the best weather

2182
01:22:46,070 --> 01:22:44,400
beyond that you know we start looking at

2183
01:22:47,990 --> 01:22:46,080
things like contingencies if the crew is

2184
01:22:50,930 --> 01:22:48,000
injured and we've got helicopters on

2185
01:22:52,370 --> 01:22:50,940
standby for a Medevac if we need to

2186
01:22:54,590 --> 01:22:52,380
um and then you know there's also just

2187
01:22:56,870 --> 01:22:54,600
built-in redundancy on the ship and and

2188
01:22:57,890 --> 01:22:56,880
throughout the vehicle so but yeah

2189
01:22:59,570 --> 01:22:57,900
weather is definitely the biggest

2190
01:23:01,910 --> 01:22:59,580
challenge for landing right now weather

2191
01:23:04,669 --> 01:23:01,920
is a huge

2192
01:23:06,709 --> 01:23:04,679
after a crew 5 returns Brian you're

2193
01:23:08,510 --> 01:23:06,719
going to transition to a new role in the

2194
01:23:09,770 --> 01:23:08,520
commercial crew program Mission manager

2195
01:23:11,870 --> 01:23:09,780
for crew eight can you tell us how

2196
01:23:13,330 --> 01:23:11,880
you're preparing for that sure so as a

2197
01:23:16,729 --> 01:23:13,340
mission manager

2198
01:23:19,850 --> 01:23:16,739
just an update next job for the entire

2199
01:23:22,189 --> 01:23:19,860
Mission Not Just Launch or landing and

2200
01:23:23,810 --> 01:23:22,199
that role begins 18 months out so for

2201
01:23:25,189 --> 01:23:23,820
crew eight which launches launches a

2202
01:23:27,530 --> 01:23:25,199
year from now we've already begun those

2203
01:23:29,330 --> 01:23:27,540
meetings with SpaceX and so it's pretty

2204
01:23:32,090 --> 01:23:29,340
exciting to be a part of that that early

2205
01:23:33,890 --> 01:23:32,100
in the mission and uh yeah I'm just

2206
01:23:35,570 --> 01:23:33,900
honored and proud to do that for the

2207
01:23:36,950 --> 01:23:35,580
program of course we congratulations

2208
01:23:40,130 --> 01:23:36,960
Brian it's a lot to have you here

2209
01:23:41,810 --> 01:23:40,140
tonight thanks Jasmine Daryl back to you

2210
01:23:43,490 --> 01:23:41,820
all right thank you very much Jasmine

2211
01:23:45,350 --> 01:23:43,500
and if you're just joining us we are

2212
01:23:48,890 --> 01:23:45,360
currently two hours and seven minutes

2213
01:23:50,810 --> 01:23:48,900
until liftoff of cruise six launching as

2214
01:23:53,570 --> 01:23:50,820
part of NASA's commercial crew program

2215
01:23:56,510 --> 01:23:53,580
as we just heard so well Commander

2216
01:23:59,570 --> 01:23:56,520
Stephen Bowen pilot Woody hoberg and

2217
01:24:01,910 --> 01:23:59,580
Mission specialist Sultan al-nayadi and

2218
01:24:04,189 --> 01:24:01,920
Andre fediev are strapped into the

2219
01:24:07,130 --> 01:24:04,199
receipts behind that capsule right there

2220
01:24:08,930 --> 01:24:07,140
inside Dragon endeavor

2221
01:24:11,930 --> 01:24:08,940
and here's an interesting note about

2222
01:24:14,030 --> 01:24:11,940
Endeavor the SpaceX Fleet leader in

2223
01:24:18,410 --> 01:24:14,040
number of flights to and from the

2224
01:24:22,610 --> 01:24:21,110
well yes why watch yeah I got to watch

2225
01:24:25,070 --> 01:24:22,620
Bob and Doug go and that's right yeah

2226
01:24:26,750 --> 01:24:25,080
and then yeah and yeah it's been it's

2227
01:24:27,950 --> 01:24:26,760
cool that we have we are proving out

2228
01:24:29,810 --> 01:24:27,960
that you get to reuse these vehicles

2229
01:24:30,770 --> 01:24:29,820
it's not just a dream we're actually

2230
01:24:32,870 --> 01:24:30,780
doing it

2231
01:24:35,390 --> 01:24:32,880
and they're certified now for five

2232
01:24:37,130 --> 01:24:35,400
flights which was a human certification

2233
01:24:39,290 --> 01:24:37,140
that is done in partnership with the

2234
01:24:42,290 --> 01:24:39,300
commercial crew program the three

2235
01:24:43,729 --> 01:24:42,300
previous flights for this Dragon was uh

2236
01:24:47,390 --> 01:24:43,739
as you mentioned the historic First

2237
01:24:50,270 --> 01:24:47,400
Flight called demo 2 then Crew 2 and

2238
01:24:53,090 --> 01:24:50,280
then Axiom mission one which you were on

2239
01:24:54,169 --> 01:24:53,100
station right we were in actionable

2240
01:24:56,209 --> 01:24:54,179
doctor though it's called the Zenith

2241
01:24:57,590 --> 01:24:56,219
Port so yeah we are there for which is

2242
01:25:00,470 --> 01:24:57,600
prehistoric to have the first private

2243
01:25:02,870 --> 01:25:00,480
astronauts uh from U.S soil come up to

2244
01:25:05,450 --> 01:25:02,880
the space station it was awesome and

2245
01:25:09,530 --> 01:25:05,460
these astronauts today Raja that could

2246
01:25:12,050 --> 01:25:09,540
happen for them as well if uh if Axiom 2

2247
01:25:14,270 --> 01:25:12,060
goes up within their increment right

2248
01:25:15,050 --> 01:25:14,280
exactly yep and so uh that's exactly the

2249
01:25:17,510 --> 01:25:15,060
plan

2250
01:25:19,189 --> 01:25:17,520
um and Axiom 2's in training I think

2251
01:25:21,590 --> 01:25:19,199
they publicly released the names not too

2252
01:25:24,290 --> 01:25:21,600
long ago you can see that online but

2253
01:25:26,570 --> 01:25:24,300
yeah so we do they do some training at

2254
01:25:28,850 --> 01:25:26,580
Johnson Space Center and because exactly

2255
01:25:38,689 --> 01:25:28,860
that if they're on Orbit on time they'd

2256
01:25:42,830 --> 01:25:40,910
and uh we're also going to take some

2257
01:25:45,169 --> 01:25:42,840
social media questions and we've been

2258
01:25:47,450 --> 01:25:45,179
taking them along the way Raj has been

2259
01:25:49,850 --> 01:25:47,460
doing a great job answering those

2260
01:25:51,649 --> 01:25:49,860
so let's uh let's take a question now as

2261
01:25:53,890 --> 01:25:51,659
the closeout crew

2262
01:25:56,810 --> 01:25:53,900
gets that hatch closed

2263
01:26:00,350 --> 01:25:56,820
Seth milborn 99

2264
01:26:02,390 --> 01:26:00,360
asks how does the docking process work

2265
01:26:04,430 --> 01:26:02,400
all right well Seth first off I like the

2266
01:26:05,930 --> 01:26:04,440
99 because I'm a class of 99 grads in

2267
01:26:08,450 --> 01:26:05,940
the academy so I was going to throw out

2268
01:26:10,910 --> 01:26:08,460
to shout to the 99ers out there but so

2269
01:26:12,229 --> 01:26:10,920
how does the docking process work uh so

2270
01:26:13,669 --> 01:26:12,239
we have what's called an instantaneous

2271
01:26:16,129 --> 01:26:13,679
launch window and the reason is because

2272
01:26:17,990 --> 01:26:16,139
the you're trying to align the orbit

2273
01:26:20,689 --> 01:26:18,000
that we're going to put the dragon into

2274
01:26:22,370 --> 01:26:20,699
with the orbit of the space station and

2275
01:26:24,590 --> 01:26:22,380
there's different Windows every day but

2276
01:26:26,810 --> 01:26:24,600
we choose that so that we're trying to

2277
01:26:28,430 --> 01:26:26,820
it's a it's a combination of optimizing

2278
01:26:31,250 --> 01:26:28,440
the prop you need to use the propellant

2279
01:26:32,990 --> 01:26:31,260
and the timing so you could go faster to

2280
01:26:34,490 --> 01:26:33,000
the space station you could go slower it

2281
01:26:39,189 --> 01:26:34,500
depends on the propellant but we have to

2282
01:26:42,350 --> 01:26:41,149
overground station

2283
01:26:43,250 --> 01:26:42,360
I'll pause for just a second for the

2284
01:26:48,890 --> 01:26:43,260
comp checks and I'll come back to your

2285
01:26:53,390 --> 01:26:50,930
core loud and clear ground station com

2286
01:26:58,370 --> 01:26:53,400
check complete standby for tdrs calm

2287
01:27:00,950 --> 01:26:59,870
and this is what we talked about earlier

2288
01:27:02,149 --> 01:27:00,960
Daryl that there's going to be a series

2289
01:27:05,209 --> 01:27:02,159
of contracts checking the different

2290
01:27:10,370 --> 01:27:08,990
oh a ground station Comcheck is complete

2291
01:27:13,250 --> 01:27:10,380
now

2292
01:27:15,110 --> 01:27:13,260
next week next will be tedris uh in the

2293
01:27:17,270 --> 01:27:15,120
meantime to I'll keep talking until they

2294
01:27:19,490 --> 01:27:17,280
talk again uh so once you're in orbit

2295
01:27:20,810 --> 01:27:19,500
then you first you you start in a lower

2296
01:27:23,390 --> 01:27:20,820
orbit than the space station and when

2297
01:27:25,370 --> 01:27:23,400
you're in a lower orbit uh generally for

2298
01:27:27,590 --> 01:27:25,380
mostly circular orbits you're moving

2299
01:27:28,790 --> 01:27:27,600
faster relative to the station so you

2300
01:27:32,090 --> 01:27:28,800
actually start to catch up to the space

2301
01:27:35,510 --> 01:27:33,709
and then you do a series of what's

2302
01:27:38,450 --> 01:27:35,520
called phasing Burns to slowly boost

2303
01:27:39,950 --> 01:27:38,460
yourself very close to the space station

2304
01:27:41,810 --> 01:27:39,960
and once you get inside What's called

2305
01:27:46,450 --> 01:27:41,820
the keep out sphere that's when uh

2306
01:27:51,350 --> 01:27:49,189
the head SpaceX dragon have you loud and

2307
01:27:56,870 --> 01:27:51,360
clear

2308
01:28:03,290 --> 01:27:56,880
complete standby for comchecks with DC

2309
01:28:03,300 --> 01:28:08,870
Dragon DC on countdown one comp check

2310
01:28:12,950 --> 01:28:10,910
ing dragon have you allowed player on

2311
01:28:15,470 --> 01:28:12,960
countdown one

2312
01:28:20,390 --> 01:28:15,480
DC loud and clear standby for comchecks

2313
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:31,910
Dragon MD on countdown 1 Comcheck

2314
01:28:40,490 --> 01:28:34,189
MD loud and clear standby for Comcheck

2315
01:28:40,500 --> 01:28:47,570
Dragon MD on Dragon to ground Comcheck

2316
01:28:47,580 --> 01:28:51,890
is

2317
01:28:56,090 --> 01:28:54,110
MD loud and clear standby for com checks

2318
01:29:04,729 --> 01:28:56,100
with LD

2319
01:29:10,610 --> 01:29:07,250
LD loud clear standby for Comcheck over

2320
01:29:10,620 --> 01:29:16,729
Dragon LD on Dragon the ground Comcheck

2321
01:29:20,270 --> 01:29:18,950
LG dragon that belong clear over Dragon

2322
01:29:27,590 --> 01:29:20,280
the ground

2323
01:29:30,590 --> 01:29:29,149
Dragon SpaceX with that launch

2324
01:29:33,830 --> 01:29:30,600
configuration comp checks are now

2325
01:29:39,169 --> 01:29:37,310
basic tracking copies

2326
01:29:40,310 --> 01:29:39,179
and so Those comp checks like we talked

2327
01:29:41,930 --> 01:29:40,320
about Daryl were different people

2328
01:29:44,450 --> 01:29:41,940
different loops and just making sure

2329
01:29:45,950 --> 01:29:44,460
that all the the key folks can get in

2330
01:29:47,330 --> 01:29:45,960
contact with the crew if they need to

2331
01:29:49,490 --> 01:29:47,340
since there's a bunch of if you can

2332
01:29:50,930 --> 01:29:49,500
imagine lots and lots of different Comm

2333
01:29:52,310 --> 01:29:50,940
loops on the ground with different

2334
01:29:53,930 --> 01:29:52,320
people talking on different ones so you

2335
01:29:56,330 --> 01:29:53,940
want to make sure that that uh they're

2336
01:29:58,250 --> 01:29:56,340
connected to Basics we are going to

2337
01:30:00,050 --> 01:29:58,260
commence checks for the landscape system

2338
01:30:01,850 --> 01:30:00,060
expect momentary flight computer State

2339
01:30:05,270 --> 01:30:01,860
change followed by a transition back to

2340
01:30:09,229 --> 01:30:06,830
all right so that flight State change

2341
01:30:10,669 --> 01:30:09,239
next dragon we'll be watching thanks yep

2342
01:30:11,930 --> 01:30:10,679
so the flight computer State he detained

2343
01:30:13,610 --> 01:30:11,940
he's talking about it's on the displays

2344
01:30:15,110 --> 01:30:13,620
in the bottom center the displays you

2345
01:30:17,050 --> 01:30:15,120
tells you what state the flight computer

2346
01:30:19,310 --> 01:30:17,060
is in so right now it says hatch open

2347
01:30:21,290 --> 01:30:19,320
and the way that they know for sure

2348
01:30:22,610 --> 01:30:21,300
that's closed isn't just the door being

2349
01:30:23,750 --> 01:30:22,620
closed it's actually the flight computer

2350
01:30:25,790 --> 01:30:23,760
state

2351
01:30:27,770 --> 01:30:25,800
doing that and that then initiates

2352
01:30:29,689 --> 01:30:27,780
allows them to initiate further commands

2353
01:30:31,129 --> 01:30:29,699
and then cleaning up your your answer on

2354
01:30:32,510 --> 01:30:31,139
the docking so we talked about it's

2355
01:30:33,950 --> 01:30:32,520
catching up to the space station and

2356
01:30:36,290 --> 01:30:33,960
then you do what's called phasing Burns

2357
01:30:37,790 --> 01:30:36,300
to get closer to the space station uh

2358
01:30:40,070 --> 01:30:37,800
once you get in basically what we call

2359
01:30:41,510 --> 01:30:40,080
the keepout sphere uh either along the

2360
01:30:43,430 --> 01:30:41,520
velocity Vector from below it depending

2361
01:30:44,750 --> 01:30:43,440
on docking axis you're on then you join

2362
01:30:46,310 --> 01:30:44,760
up with the space station and you'll see

2363
01:30:48,050 --> 01:30:46,320
that tomorrow actually when if you tune

2364
01:30:50,270 --> 01:30:48,060
back in back on NASA TV they'll show the

2365
01:30:52,850 --> 01:30:50,280
docking indeed we will right around 3

2366
01:30:54,950 --> 01:30:52,860
A.M eastern time tomorrow

2367
01:31:00,830 --> 01:30:54,960
they've got about a 24

2368
01:31:02,810 --> 01:31:00,840
to 25 hour Transit from launch to dock

2369
01:31:04,729 --> 01:31:02,820
we want to take a pause now and we'll

2370
01:31:07,189 --> 01:31:04,739
keep monitoring the progress inside

2371
01:31:09,350 --> 01:31:07,199
dragon with the three astronauts and one

2372
01:31:10,970 --> 01:31:09,360
Cosmonaut but in the meantime

2373
01:31:12,169 --> 01:31:10,980
we also want to check in with a special

2374
01:31:14,870 --> 01:31:12,179
guest

2375
01:31:16,790 --> 01:31:14,880
Jasmine Hopkins take it away thanks so

2376
01:31:20,330 --> 01:31:16,800
much Daryl joining us now on the balcony

2377
01:31:22,490 --> 01:31:20,340
of osb2 is Kurt Costello the ISS Chief

2378
01:31:24,649 --> 01:31:22,500
scientist good evening Kurt good evening

2379
01:31:26,570 --> 01:31:24,659
Jasmine we are so glad to have you here

2380
01:31:29,030 --> 01:31:26,580
tonight after Cruise six launches

2381
01:31:30,709 --> 01:31:29,040
they'll become part of the Expedition 69

2382
01:31:32,930 --> 01:31:30,719
crew and their time will be packed with

2383
01:31:35,149 --> 01:31:32,940
space walks a lot of science so can you

2384
01:31:37,490 --> 01:31:35,159
unpack some of that for us yeah they'll

2385
01:31:39,709 --> 01:31:37,500
be there during a really Dynamic portion

2386
01:31:43,310 --> 01:31:39,719
of our year we're going to have the

2387
01:31:45,050 --> 01:31:43,320
cargo Mission SpaceX 27 launch the ng-19

2388
01:31:47,930 --> 01:31:45,060
mission launch and then crude missions

2389
01:31:50,810 --> 01:31:47,940
with the Boeing CFT Mission and then

2390
01:31:52,910 --> 01:31:50,820
Acts 2 later in their increment so there

2391
01:31:54,350 --> 01:31:52,920
is a ton of research going on a lot of

2392
01:31:56,510 --> 01:31:54,360
it's going to be dedicated to human

2393
01:31:59,090 --> 01:31:56,520
research and one of those investigations

2394
01:32:01,250 --> 01:31:59,100
comes from Issa and it's on our immunity

2395
01:32:03,709 --> 01:32:01,260
assay investigation where we're trying

2396
01:32:06,410 --> 01:32:03,719
to find out how space flight impacts the

2397
01:32:07,729 --> 01:32:06,420
immune system of the crew members right

2398
01:32:10,010 --> 01:32:07,739
Kurt as you said I mean this time is

2399
01:32:12,169 --> 01:32:10,020
going to packed with a lot of science a

2400
01:32:13,310 --> 01:32:12,179
six-month science mission for them one

2401
01:32:15,590 --> 01:32:13,320
of the experiments that's been

2402
01:32:17,390 --> 01:32:15,600
long-standing is called tissue chips can

2403
01:32:19,010 --> 01:32:17,400
you tell us more about that first

2404
01:32:21,649 --> 01:32:19,020
initiative with the National Institutes

2405
01:32:24,890 --> 01:32:21,659
of Health yeah this is actually the

2406
01:32:27,790 --> 01:32:24,900
second in a series of the NIH ncats

2407
01:32:31,189 --> 01:32:27,800
which stands for National Center for uh

2408
01:32:33,169 --> 01:32:31,199
advancing translational science and what

2409
01:32:34,790 --> 01:32:33,179
we're looking at are tissue chips which

2410
01:32:41,450 --> 01:32:34,800
are uh

2411
01:32:46,310 --> 01:32:41,460
sets of cells and tissues that go into

2412
01:32:49,010 --> 01:32:46,320
the the ISS and are grown out and this

2413
01:32:52,250 --> 01:32:49,020
set of experiments from the ISS National

2414
01:32:54,229 --> 01:32:52,260
Lab is really set to look at treatments

2415
01:32:56,270 --> 01:32:54,239
for those tissues so we'll be having two

2416
01:33:00,050 --> 01:32:56,280
investigations go on board the first is

2417
01:33:02,330 --> 01:33:00,060
called uh Cardinal heart 2.0 and they'll

2418
01:33:05,990 --> 01:33:02,340
be looking at treatments that could help

2419
01:33:07,550 --> 01:33:06,000
deal with cardiac stressors on orbit and

2420
01:33:10,490 --> 01:33:07,560
the other one is called engineered heart

2421
01:33:12,590 --> 01:33:10,500
tissues 2.0 and this one is is really

2422
01:33:14,870 --> 01:33:12,600
interesting they've got those same heart

2423
01:33:16,910 --> 01:33:14,880
tissues growing but this time they're

2424
01:33:19,129 --> 01:33:16,920
attached to a magnet and the magnet

2425
01:33:21,649 --> 01:33:19,139
tells us how hard that heart tissue

2426
01:33:23,149 --> 01:33:21,659
beats and contracts on orbit so these

2427
01:33:25,189 --> 01:33:23,159
living heart cells are going to be able

2428
01:33:27,169 --> 01:33:25,199
to tell us one how hard they're working

2429
01:33:29,990 --> 01:33:27,179
in the presence of the space flight

2430
01:33:31,490 --> 01:33:30,000
environment and then treatments are

2431
01:33:33,410 --> 01:33:31,500
going to be applied to them so we can

2432
01:33:35,209 --> 01:33:33,420
understand if that can help with those

2433
01:33:36,410 --> 01:33:35,219
stressors wow it's nice to hear that you

2434
01:33:38,629 --> 01:33:36,420
know some of the research we're doing on

2435
01:33:41,450 --> 01:33:38,639
station could benefit our health here on

2436
01:33:43,669 --> 01:33:41,460
Earth as well there's also a combustion

2437
01:33:45,950 --> 01:33:43,679
experiment called Sophie Mist can you

2438
01:33:48,709 --> 01:33:45,960
tell us about that as well sure Sophie

2439
01:33:51,129 --> 01:33:48,719
mist is a combustion experiment for

2440
01:33:54,350 --> 01:33:51,139
solids Sophie stands for

2441
01:33:57,530 --> 01:33:54,360
solids in

2442
01:34:00,110 --> 01:33:57,540
in-flight Extinction so ignition and

2443
01:34:02,030 --> 01:34:00,120
Extinction and what we're looking at are

2444
01:34:04,310 --> 01:34:02,040
how solid materials burn under different

2445
01:34:07,610 --> 01:34:04,320
atmospheric pressures and different

2446
01:34:09,770 --> 01:34:07,620
concentrations of oxygen the reason for

2447
01:34:11,390 --> 01:34:09,780
this is our exploration vehicles have

2448
01:34:14,390 --> 01:34:11,400
different atmospheres and we want to

2449
01:34:16,189 --> 01:34:14,400
understand how solids burn in space and

2450
01:34:17,990 --> 01:34:16,199
how they can be extinguished efficiently

2451
01:34:20,090 --> 01:34:18,000
so we want to be able to put out any

2452
01:34:21,830 --> 01:34:20,100
fires that ever occur in a cabin right

2453
01:34:23,330 --> 01:34:21,840
that's very important ISS Chief

2454
01:34:24,590 --> 01:34:23,340
scientist Kurt Costello thanks so much

2455
01:34:27,110 --> 01:34:24,600
for joining us tonight thank you very

2456
01:34:28,910 --> 01:34:27,120
much of course Daryl back to you thank

2457
01:34:30,169 --> 01:34:28,920
you Jasmine and Kurt and I thought it

2458
01:34:32,750 --> 01:34:30,179
was interesting he was talking about

2459
01:34:35,930 --> 01:34:32,760
that Sophie experiment and burning

2460
01:34:37,490 --> 01:34:35,940
materials in space you worked on some

2461
01:34:39,110 --> 01:34:37,500
experiments yourself in which you burn

2462
01:34:40,669 --> 01:34:39,120
things yeah so what are the things in

2463
01:34:43,070 --> 01:34:40,679
space yeah well you got to be really

2464
01:34:44,629 --> 01:34:43,080
careful yeah clearly yeah so when you're

2465
01:34:46,669 --> 01:34:44,639
up there's part of expedition 66 we did

2466
01:34:49,550 --> 01:34:46,679
several experiments with the combustion

2467
01:34:51,290 --> 01:34:49,560
chamber and it is a it is a piece of

2468
01:34:53,810 --> 01:34:51,300
engineering so getting to work on it

2469
01:34:55,250 --> 01:34:53,820
install new install new materials but

2470
01:34:56,390 --> 01:34:55,260
the really cool thing thing so Kirk

2471
01:34:57,709 --> 01:34:56,400
mentioned part of it like there's the

2472
01:34:59,149 --> 01:34:57,719
one piece is making sure there's not

2473
01:35:01,010 --> 01:34:59,159
fires the other thing we're really

2474
01:35:02,629 --> 01:35:01,020
interested in is uh there's some work

2475
01:35:04,430 --> 01:35:02,639
going on on like cold flames and so

2476
01:35:06,649 --> 01:35:04,440
flames on the earth because of the

2477
01:35:08,030 --> 01:35:06,659
gravity field you know you have the hot

2478
01:35:09,470 --> 01:35:08,040
part and then you see it actually go up

2479
01:35:10,669 --> 01:35:09,480
and Jenny siding our class is a

2480
01:35:12,110 --> 01:35:10,679
combustion engineer so there's there's

2481
01:35:14,629 --> 01:35:12,120
some really fascinating things but in

2482
01:35:16,430 --> 01:35:14,639
microgravity it's a ball of flame and so

2483
01:35:18,830 --> 01:35:16,440
some really interesting research is you

2484
01:35:19,910 --> 01:35:18,840
know some cold combustion engine type

2485
01:35:22,010 --> 01:35:19,920
technology where you could reduce

2486
01:35:23,510 --> 01:35:22,020
greenhouse gas emissions because of the

2487
01:35:24,830 --> 01:35:23,520
way the flame Burns so that's that is

2488
01:35:26,810 --> 01:35:24,840
the kind of fundamental science we're

2489
01:35:28,490 --> 01:35:26,820
doing combustion research up there just

2490
01:35:30,290 --> 01:35:28,500
because it's more of an efficient burn

2491
01:35:32,629 --> 01:35:30,300
well it burns different exactly you can

2492
01:35:34,850 --> 01:35:32,639
have a cooler flame as it burns out

2493
01:35:36,890 --> 01:35:34,860
instead of having this sort of wasted uh

2494
01:35:40,070 --> 01:35:36,900
stuff in the as it goes in early so yeah

2495
01:35:41,750 --> 01:35:40,080
some just amazing things that good side

2496
01:35:43,729 --> 01:35:41,760
hatch leak check that fall out of

2497
01:35:47,450 --> 01:35:43,739
research we've never expected

2498
01:35:51,410 --> 01:35:48,770
you just heard the core talk about the

2499
01:35:53,510 --> 01:35:51,420
the leak check or that Steve and uh we

2500
01:35:57,590 --> 01:35:53,520
also have a post Ingress briefing when

2501
01:36:02,629 --> 01:35:59,450
yeah that's great news we are ready to

2502
01:36:07,250 --> 01:36:05,270
all right we have no updates on weather

2503
01:36:09,770 --> 01:36:07,260
from the previous briefing and drought

2504
01:36:11,870 --> 01:36:09,780
dragon and Falcon are tracking no issues

2505
01:36:14,270 --> 01:36:11,880
for launch we're looking good here

2506
01:36:16,370 --> 01:36:14,280
at the NASA team for your awareness is

2507
01:36:19,129 --> 01:36:16,380
tracking a possible conjunction for ISS

2508
01:36:22,010 --> 01:36:19,139
in about 22 hours and is considering

2509
01:36:24,470 --> 01:36:22,020
performing a p Dam if required we are

2510
01:36:26,990 --> 01:36:24,480
still go for launch regardless of if the

2511
01:36:29,930 --> 01:36:27,000
P Dam will be required

2512
01:36:31,490 --> 01:36:29,940
if we do take that avoidance maneuver or

2513
01:36:34,070 --> 01:36:31,500
if ISS takes that avoidance maneuver

2514
01:36:36,770 --> 01:36:34,080
they may attempt to perform it prior to

2515
01:36:38,510 --> 01:36:36,780
the dragon boost burn which helps to

2516
01:36:39,649 --> 01:36:38,520
minimize impacts to our Rendezvous

2517
01:36:41,810 --> 01:36:39,659
timeline

2518
01:36:44,030 --> 01:36:41,820
we will come back after launch with more

2519
01:36:46,310 --> 01:36:44,040
information as the joint teams evaluate

2520
01:36:47,450 --> 01:36:46,320
if the pdam is required as well as if

2521
01:36:52,450 --> 01:36:47,460
there are any updates to your mission

2522
01:36:56,689 --> 01:36:54,830
copy all thank you for the heads up on

2523
01:36:59,870 --> 01:36:56,699
the PDM and we'll be bringing those

2524
01:37:02,090 --> 01:36:59,880
words after we get to order

2525
01:37:04,189 --> 01:37:02,100
so a possible conjunction right

2526
01:37:06,890 --> 01:37:04,199
conjunction is a fancy term for hitting

2527
01:37:08,750 --> 01:37:06,900
something running into it so for the

2528
01:37:10,370 --> 01:37:08,760
space station right not the dragon so as

2529
01:37:12,290 --> 01:37:10,380
you heard there's still go for launch

2530
01:37:13,490 --> 01:37:12,300
and kind of ties into this question we

2531
01:37:15,709 --> 01:37:13,500
had from social media before about

2532
01:37:17,390 --> 01:37:15,719
docking I mentioned there's a timeline

2533
01:37:19,910 --> 01:37:17,400
and you heard that it's a good read back

2534
01:37:21,890 --> 01:37:19,920
dragon and at this time we'll step into

2535
01:37:26,169 --> 01:37:21,900
context with the Falcon 9 operators

2536
01:37:31,430 --> 01:37:28,550
all right SpaceX Dragon we're ready for

2537
01:37:33,290 --> 01:37:31,440
comptac with the Falcon 9 operators

2538
01:37:35,990 --> 01:37:33,300
so before they did the contracts with

2539
01:37:37,370 --> 01:37:36,000
the the SpaceX the dragon team now this

2540
01:37:40,490 --> 01:37:37,380
is the rocket Ian countdown one

2541
01:37:42,530 --> 01:37:40,500
initiating recom checks GNC is first

2542
01:37:51,050 --> 01:37:42,540
so this is the launch Dragon GNC on

2543
01:37:57,530 --> 01:37:53,629
GNC loud and clear standby for Comcheck

2544
01:37:57,540 --> 01:38:07,070

2546
01:38:14,270 --> 01:38:12,239
with the avionics engineer

2547
01:38:18,110 --> 01:38:14,280
Dragon avionics on countdown one

2548
01:38:22,250 --> 01:38:19,910
avionics dragon have you loud and clear

2549
01:38:24,410 --> 01:38:22,260
on countdown one

2550
01:38:28,430 --> 01:38:24,420
avionics slide and clear standby for

2551
01:38:33,910 --> 01:38:30,350
dragon ground segment on countdown one

2552
01:38:40,430 --> 01:38:38,149
ing have you gone clear on one

2553
01:38:43,970 --> 01:38:40,440

launch control Dragon that'd be loud and

2556
01:38:56,570 --> 01:38:54,300
clear and countdown one

2557
01:38:59,750 --> 01:38:56,580
should call loud and clear standby for

2558
01:39:05,930 --> 01:38:59,760
Comcheck by the chief engineer

2559
01:39:10,070 --> 01:39:08,629
Y dragon happy Zone clear on countdown

2560
01:39:12,890 --> 01:39:10,080
one

2561
01:39:24,169 --> 01:39:12,900
t e loud and clear this completes the F9

2562
01:39:27,830 --> 01:39:25,729
if there was any kind of problem with

2563
01:39:28,790 --> 01:39:27,840
the rocket it's a subsystem the rocket

2564
01:39:30,169 --> 01:39:28,800
you'd want that person to be able to

2565
01:39:31,970 --> 01:39:30,179
talk directly to the crew so they're

2566
01:39:33,649 --> 01:39:31,980
just making sure that com channel is

2567
01:39:35,750 --> 01:39:33,659
there going back to the P Dam you

2568
01:39:37,729 --> 01:39:35,760
mentioned that stands for debris

2569
01:39:39,290 --> 01:39:37,739
avoidance maneuver and so space force is

2570
01:39:41,810 --> 01:39:39,300
actually constantly watching all the

2571
01:39:43,250 --> 01:39:41,820
things uh in orbit and then if there is

2572
01:39:45,530 --> 01:39:43,260
any chance that we think someone will

2573
01:39:47,270 --> 01:39:45,540
get close to the ISS they notify uh

2574
01:39:49,010 --> 01:39:47,280
Houston uh we have a thing called the

2575
01:39:50,870 --> 01:39:49,020
Topo which is the position that they

2576
01:39:53,330 --> 01:39:50,880
analyze orbital directories and there's

2577
01:39:55,189 --> 01:39:53,340
uh different levels of risk so they

2578
01:39:56,570 --> 01:39:55,199
always want to make sure that we are

2579
01:39:57,950 --> 01:39:56,580
very conservative with the crew safety

2580
01:39:58,970 --> 01:39:57,960
and the vehicle safety and so as you

2581
01:40:00,410 --> 01:39:58,980
heard them talking about it's not going

2582
01:40:02,629 --> 01:40:00,420
to affect the launch decision what it

2583
01:40:03,830 --> 01:40:02,639
will affect is how they do the burns to

2584
01:40:05,810 --> 01:40:03,840
get to the space station because if the

2585
01:40:07,610 --> 01:40:05,820
space station doesn't burn to maneuver

2586
01:40:09,830 --> 01:40:07,620
then that will mean the Target that the

2587
01:40:11,510 --> 01:40:09,840
dragon is was going towards Will shift

2588
01:40:13,129 --> 01:40:11,520
and so they'll work that out over the

2589
01:40:14,810 --> 01:40:13,139
next uh over the next 20 hours you

2590
01:40:18,169 --> 01:40:14,820
mentioned the Topo that's the trajectory

2591
01:40:20,810 --> 01:40:18,179
operations officer and uh here from uh

2592
01:40:22,250 --> 01:40:20,820
our colleagues at Johnson Space Center

2593
01:40:24,110 --> 01:40:22,260
that they're trending in the right

2594
01:40:26,270 --> 01:40:24,120
direction so things are are looking good

2595
01:40:28,189 --> 01:40:26,280
good in terms of that possible

2596
01:40:29,629 --> 01:40:28,199
conjunction in 22 hours for the

2597
01:40:31,310 --> 01:40:29,639
International Space Station I'd say it's

2598
01:40:32,450 --> 01:40:31,320
pretty normal at least once a week we

2599
01:40:34,189 --> 01:40:32,460
hear about one when you're on the

2600
01:40:35,510 --> 01:40:34,199
station most of them resolve themselves

2601
01:40:37,189 --> 01:40:35,520
very rarely do you actually have to

2602
01:40:38,870 --> 01:40:37,199
maneuver the station but like I said you

2603
01:40:40,850 --> 01:40:38,880
always we have this huge protective

2604
01:40:42,590 --> 01:40:40,860
bubble around the space station and

2605
01:40:44,990 --> 01:40:42,600
anything that possibly could go in there

2606
01:40:45,890 --> 01:40:45,000
we always want to investigate so this is

2607
01:40:47,450 --> 01:40:45,900
probably just the beginning of that

2608
01:40:49,430 --> 01:40:47,460
investigation and then as we learn more

2609
01:40:51,050 --> 01:40:49,440
about it it's probably not going to be a

2610
01:40:52,250 --> 01:40:51,060
problem but we always are wanting to

2611
01:40:54,050 --> 01:40:52,260
make sure we're very conservative with

2612
01:40:56,450 --> 01:40:54,060
the make sure you're ready in case

2613
01:40:58,250 --> 01:40:56,460
exactly all right very good well now we

2614
01:41:01,610 --> 01:40:58,260
want to throw it over to Jasmine who is

2615
01:41:03,169 --> 01:41:01,620
with NASA administrator Bill Nelson

2616
01:41:04,790 --> 01:41:03,179
very much Daryl yes right now we're

2617
01:41:07,129 --> 01:41:04,800
honored to be joined by NASA

2618
01:41:09,110 --> 01:41:07,139
administrator Bill Nelson as well as

2619
01:41:10,850 --> 01:41:09,120
astronaut Reid Wiseman thank you both

2620
01:41:13,430 --> 01:41:10,860
for being here tonight well

2621
01:41:15,410 --> 01:41:13,440
well it's always a treat when we start

2622
01:41:17,149 --> 01:41:15,420
launching and going into the heavens

2623
01:41:19,129 --> 01:41:17,159
exactly we're always happy to have you

2624
01:41:20,629 --> 01:41:19,139
back here administrator Nelson so first

2625
01:41:22,790 --> 01:41:20,639
question for you International

2626
01:41:25,010 --> 01:41:22,800
partnership is the lifeblood of the

2627
01:41:26,870 --> 01:41:25,020
commercial crew program we have the

2628
01:41:28,550 --> 01:41:26,880
second time we have a Ross Cosmos

2629
01:41:30,890 --> 01:41:28,560
Cosmonaut on board but this is the first

2630
01:41:32,209 --> 01:41:30,900
time we have a UAE astronaut on board

2631
01:41:33,709 --> 01:41:32,219
can you talk about those International

2632
01:41:36,770 --> 01:41:33,719
Partnerships

2633
01:41:39,229 --> 01:41:36,780
you know as we go back to the Moon after

2634
01:41:41,810 --> 01:41:39,239
50 years it's not just the U.S

2635
01:41:43,370 --> 01:41:41,820
government it's now an international

2636
01:41:46,010 --> 01:41:43,380
mission

2637
01:41:49,070 --> 01:41:46,020
uh and it's a public-private partnership

2638
01:41:50,090 --> 01:41:49,080
as we go back to the moon and then on to

2639
01:41:53,990 --> 01:41:50,100
Mars

2640
01:41:55,729 --> 01:41:54,000
in this particular case uh going to

2641
01:41:58,430 --> 01:41:55,739
commercial crew to the International

2642
01:42:00,709 --> 01:41:58,440
Space Station it's very much both of

2643
01:42:04,250 --> 01:42:00,719
those as well

2644
01:42:08,270 --> 01:42:04,260
public private partnership with SpaceX

2645
01:42:09,550 --> 01:42:08,280
and then International crew so much so

2646
01:42:13,310 --> 01:42:09,560
that

2647
01:42:16,070 --> 01:42:13,320
you've got our partners ever since we

2648
01:42:18,830 --> 01:42:16,080
built the Space Station the Russians

2649
01:42:21,410 --> 01:42:18,840
we're now sending an American astronaut

2650
01:42:25,010 --> 01:42:21,420
on the soyuz and they are sending a

2651
01:42:28,970 --> 01:42:25,020
Russian cosmonaut on Dragon

2652
01:42:32,750 --> 01:42:28,980
and and we will have many other

2653
01:42:34,970 --> 01:42:32,760
nationalities going as well right we go

2654
01:42:37,490 --> 01:42:34,980
farther if we go together read question

2655
01:42:39,109 --> 01:42:37,500
for you we right now are in low earth

2656
01:42:41,090 --> 01:42:39,119
orbit on the International Space Station

2657
01:42:43,310 --> 01:42:41,100
that that is Paving the way for deep

2658
01:42:45,109 --> 01:42:43,320
space can you tell us about that I think

2659
01:42:46,910 --> 01:42:45,119
the International Space Station we've

2660
01:42:49,010 --> 01:42:46,920
been we've had crew on there since the

2661
01:42:51,109 --> 01:42:49,020
year 2000. we don't even think about it

2662
01:42:52,310 --> 01:42:51,119
anymore right there so we have seven

2663
01:42:53,930 --> 01:42:52,320
Folks up there right now and they've

2664
01:42:55,370 --> 01:42:53,940
been orbiting the Earth they just flew

2665
01:42:56,270 --> 01:42:55,380
over us here about a half an hour ago

2666
01:42:58,430 --> 01:42:56,280
and they're going to come back around

2667
01:42:59,990 --> 01:42:58,440
but the thing that really blows your

2668
01:43:01,370 --> 01:43:00,000
mind up there is all of the

2669
01:43:03,350 --> 01:43:01,380
environmental control life support

2670
01:43:05,209 --> 01:43:03,360
systems that we have how much we're

2671
01:43:07,310 --> 01:43:05,219
recycling water all the science that

2672
01:43:09,410 --> 01:43:07,320
we're conducting and we really have

2673
01:43:12,470 --> 01:43:09,420
learned how to operate off of our planet

2674
01:43:14,750 --> 01:43:12,480
so we can do that now 250 miles up so

2675
01:43:16,850 --> 01:43:14,760
it's time to start doing that 250 000

2676
01:43:18,830 --> 01:43:16,860
miles away at the moon and then heading

2677
01:43:20,990 --> 01:43:18,840
on to Mars right we're very exciting

2678
01:43:22,850 --> 01:43:21,000
great time to be at Nasa we actually

2679
01:43:24,649 --> 01:43:22,860
pulled the NASA Workforce and they want

2680
01:43:26,930 --> 01:43:24,659
to know from both of you what missions

2681
01:43:29,709 --> 01:43:26,940
are you most looking forward to in 2023

2682
01:43:33,169 --> 01:43:29,719
a very exciting time for us all of them

2683
01:43:35,510 --> 01:43:33,179
good answer answer and by the way it's

2684
01:43:39,490 --> 01:43:35,520
not just space so we're going to fly the

2685
01:43:44,570 --> 01:43:39,500
x-57 all electric airplane the x-59

2686
01:43:46,729 --> 01:43:44,580
supersonic low Sonic Boom airplane and

2687
01:43:49,250 --> 01:43:46,739
then our climate

2688
01:43:51,530 --> 01:43:49,260
we are putting up all kinds of

2689
01:43:53,870 --> 01:43:51,540
instruments up there that are measuring

2690
01:43:55,790 --> 01:43:53,880
very specifically what's happening to

2691
01:43:56,930 --> 01:43:55,800
the Earth

2692
01:43:58,010 --> 01:43:56,940
important rest to know what's going on

2693
01:43:59,810 --> 01:43:58,020
you're

2694
01:44:01,070 --> 01:43:59,820
would you like to add anything I have to

2695
01:44:03,109 --> 01:44:01,080
add that we're standing here at Cape

2696
01:44:05,030 --> 01:44:03,119
Canaveral we got four of our friends

2697
01:44:07,910 --> 01:44:05,040
behind us so I'm rooting for crew six

2698
01:44:10,010 --> 01:44:07,920
today absolutely go Chris sex thank you

2699
01:44:12,709 --> 01:44:10,020
both for being here tonight Daryl back

2700
01:44:15,470 --> 01:44:12,719
to you thank you very much Jasmine and

2701
01:44:18,250 --> 01:44:15,480
although going into space is not child's

2702
01:44:20,750 --> 01:44:18,260
play every Dragon astronaut crew brings

2703
01:44:24,050 --> 01:44:20,760
uh every Dragon astronaut should say

2704
01:44:26,570 --> 01:44:24,060
they bring a stuffed toy with them and

2705
01:44:28,850 --> 01:44:26,580
its purpose when the toy starts floating

2706
01:44:31,310 --> 01:44:28,860
the strapped in crew has confirmation

2707
01:44:33,709 --> 01:44:31,320
they've reached microgravity and what is

2708
01:44:35,870 --> 01:44:33,719
this called This is called a zero g

2709
01:44:38,629 --> 01:44:35,880
indicator it's a long-standing tradition

2710
01:44:40,490 --> 01:44:38,639
and there's been seven on Dragon so far

2711
01:44:43,370 --> 01:44:40,500
there's one in this dragon as well

2712
01:44:45,830 --> 01:44:43,380
starting with this guy it all began with

2713
01:44:47,570 --> 01:44:45,840
plush Earth who can forget him floating

2714
01:44:50,689 --> 01:44:47,580
around by himself in the first uncrewed

2715
01:44:52,609 --> 01:44:50,699
flight in 2017 called demo one that was

2716
01:44:55,010 --> 01:44:52,619
followed up by a sequin bedazzle

2717
01:44:57,350 --> 01:44:55,020
dinosaur named Tremor picked out by Bob

2718
01:45:00,530 --> 01:44:57,360
binkin's son Theo and crewmate Doug

2719
01:45:03,109 --> 01:45:00,540
Hurley's son jack crew one took a toy

2720
01:45:05,149 --> 01:45:03,119
baby Yoda with them and to show the

2721
01:45:07,729 --> 01:45:05,159
first four-person crew when they reach

2722
01:45:11,689 --> 01:45:07,739
space but since then and it's been all

2723
01:45:14,750 --> 01:45:11,699
stuffed animals a penguin for crew two

2724
01:45:15,709 --> 01:45:14,760
and then of course raja's flight a

2725
01:45:17,270 --> 01:45:15,719
turtle

2726
01:45:20,330 --> 01:45:17,280
for crew 3

2727
01:45:23,149 --> 01:45:20,340
there's Kayla Baron yeah and then a

2728
01:45:25,669 --> 01:45:23,159
turtle and a chimp for crew four for the

2729
01:45:28,250 --> 01:45:25,679
last mission though on crew 5 they

2730
01:45:30,830 --> 01:45:28,260
unveiled the first humanoid the Albert

2731
01:45:33,530 --> 01:45:30,840
Einstein Little thinker plush doll

2732
01:45:37,490 --> 01:45:33,540
and so that begs the question what is

2733
01:45:39,169 --> 01:45:37,500
crew six's zero g we'll find out later

2734
01:45:40,609 --> 01:45:39,179
but you had the turtle and there's a

2735
01:45:42,470 --> 01:45:40,619
special reason for that what it is yeah

2736
01:45:44,510 --> 01:45:42,480
so our class of 2017 we're called The

2737
01:45:46,189 --> 01:45:44,520
Turtles which uh so the the previous

2738
01:45:47,629 --> 01:45:46,199
class always names the next class and I

2739
01:45:48,890 --> 01:45:47,639
think a lot of people thought Turtles

2740
01:45:50,689 --> 01:45:48,900
Was supposed to be an insult because

2741
01:45:52,550 --> 01:45:50,699
it's slow but that's actually quite the

2742
01:45:53,930 --> 01:45:52,560
opposite uh the reason is when the vice

2743
01:45:55,910 --> 01:45:53,940
president announced her classique said

2744
01:45:57,169 --> 01:45:55,920
that if you ever see a turtle on a fence

2745
01:45:59,209 --> 01:45:57,179
post you know the turtle didn't get

2746
01:46:00,890 --> 01:45:59,219
there by itself and so we take it as

2747
01:46:02,810 --> 01:46:00,900
quite a nod to the people that got us to

2748
01:46:03,890 --> 01:46:02,820
where we're at which is very true that

2749
01:46:05,629 --> 01:46:03,900
none of us would be where we're at

2750
01:46:07,129 --> 01:46:05,639
without our families the the flight

2751
01:46:08,570 --> 01:46:07,139
controllers the trainers that got us

2752
01:46:10,189 --> 01:46:08,580
there so we actually love the term

2753
01:46:12,530 --> 01:46:10,199
turtle and don't take it as an insult at

2754
01:46:13,910 --> 01:46:12,540
all but yeah we had every crew takes a

2755
01:46:15,649 --> 01:46:13,920
while to develop theirs with ours

2756
01:46:18,050 --> 01:46:15,659
actually our turtle was named foul which

2757
01:46:21,109 --> 01:46:18,060
is German for turtle since Matthias was

2758
01:46:23,270 --> 01:46:21,119
our German uh our German crewmate and it

2759
01:46:25,070 --> 01:46:23,280
was actually a rainbow Turtle uh a

2760
01:46:27,169 --> 01:46:25,080
peacock Turtle which is uh because Tom

2761
01:46:28,850 --> 01:46:27,179
was a class of the peacock so it was it

2762
01:46:31,010 --> 01:46:28,860
was a nod to everyone on the crew you

2763
01:46:33,109 --> 01:46:31,020
merged that in yeah that was nice all

2764
01:46:34,790 --> 01:46:33,119
right as they seal up uh get the final

2765
01:46:36,470 --> 01:46:34,800
they've sealed the hatch but now they're

2766
01:46:38,149 --> 01:46:36,480
doing some final checks there with the

2767
01:46:40,550 --> 01:46:38,159
crew we want to check in back with

2768
01:46:43,910 --> 01:46:40,560
Mission Control in Houston and our own

2769
01:46:48,229 --> 01:46:46,550
thanks Daryl when crusix arrives at the

2770
01:46:50,629 --> 01:46:48,239
space station tomorrow morning they will

2771
01:46:52,850 --> 01:46:50,639
officially become Expedition 68 flight

2772
01:46:54,830 --> 01:46:52,860
Engineers once on board they'll do

2773
01:46:57,109 --> 01:46:54,840
something known as a direct Handover

2774
01:46:59,330 --> 01:46:57,119
basically saying that crew 5 and crew 6

2775
01:47:02,090 --> 01:46:59,340
will be aboard the space station all

2776
01:47:03,709 --> 01:47:02,100
together until crew 5 comes home crew 5

2777
01:47:05,510 --> 01:47:03,719
will be able to give crew 6 an

2778
01:47:08,149 --> 01:47:05,520
orientation and show them the ropes

2779
01:47:10,669 --> 01:47:08,159
which might be particularly helpful for

2780
01:47:13,370 --> 01:47:10,679
the first time space flyers on this

2781
01:47:15,830 --> 01:47:13,380
flight NASA's Woody hoberg UAE astronaut

2782
01:47:18,350 --> 01:47:15,840
Sultan on the ADI and Rose Cosmos

2783
01:47:20,450 --> 01:47:18,360
Cosmonaut Andre fedayev a direct

2784
01:47:22,310 --> 01:47:20,460
Handover also helps ensure a continuous

2785
01:47:25,310 --> 01:47:22,320
presence on the space station a record

2786
01:47:27,350 --> 01:47:25,320
we've held for more than 22 years as the

2787
01:47:29,390 --> 01:47:27,360
station is first and foremost a

2788
01:47:31,790 --> 01:47:29,400
laboratory the crew will jump right into

2789
01:47:34,250 --> 01:47:31,800
conducting experiments with new research

2790
01:47:35,510 --> 01:47:34,260
still to be delivered on upcoming cargo

2791
01:47:37,370 --> 01:47:35,520
flights

2792
01:47:40,250 --> 01:47:37,380
and now we'll go ahead and toss it back

2793
01:47:42,830 --> 01:47:40,260
to the team out at Kennedy Daryl

2794
01:47:45,229 --> 01:47:42,840
all right thank you very much Courtney

2795
01:47:46,970 --> 01:47:45,239
and as you can see on the screen there

2796
01:47:49,070 --> 01:47:46,980
the closeout crew

2797
01:47:52,129 --> 01:47:49,080
they are tethered because they're up so

2798
01:47:53,510 --> 01:47:52,139
high that's a 255 foot level which is a

2799
01:47:55,189 --> 01:47:53,520
safety measure and they're basically

2800
01:47:57,229 --> 01:47:55,199
taking some close-out photographs to

2801
01:47:59,450 --> 01:47:57,239
document the hatch closure we heard them

2802
01:48:01,970 --> 01:47:59,460
talk about earlier that the uh the hatch

2803
01:48:04,070 --> 01:48:01,980
closed State remember that's the Q to

2804
01:48:05,570 --> 01:48:04,080
the Q the crew that's happening and

2805
01:48:08,450 --> 01:48:05,580
after they get some closeout photos they

2806
01:48:10,669 --> 01:48:08,460
can start uh backing away and closing

2807
01:48:13,010 --> 01:48:10,679
out uh hence the name of the crew yeah

2808
01:48:14,930 --> 01:48:13,020
closing out the white room and while we

2809
01:48:17,090 --> 01:48:14,940
do that we've got a special guest here

2810
01:48:19,669 --> 01:48:17,100
that we want to talk to out here at the

2811
01:48:21,709 --> 01:48:19,679
host desk our next guest played a key

2812
01:48:23,450 --> 01:48:21,719
supportive role in the development of

2813
01:48:25,609 --> 01:48:23,460
the Falcon 9 rocket and that Dragon

2814
01:48:27,050 --> 01:48:25,619
spacecraft that we've been watching and

2815
01:48:29,390 --> 01:48:27,060
we'll eventually launch here in an hour

2816
01:48:31,970 --> 01:48:29,400
and 42 minutes his name is John Posey

2817
01:48:33,590 --> 01:48:31,980
and he is NASA's crew Dragon lead

2818
01:48:36,590 --> 01:48:33,600
engineer thank you so much for being

2819
01:48:38,030 --> 01:48:36,600
here John glad to be here so tell me we

2820
01:48:39,950 --> 01:48:38,040
want to first of all make something

2821
01:48:42,530 --> 01:48:39,960
clear about spacex's Dragon right they

2822
01:48:44,750 --> 01:48:42,540
designed it they built Dragon they fly

2823
01:48:46,570 --> 01:48:44,760
it for us and our astronauts go in it

2824
01:48:49,729 --> 01:48:46,580
but since the beginning there's been

2825
01:48:51,649 --> 01:48:49,739
NASA expertise supporting supporting

2826
01:48:54,109 --> 01:48:51,659
them so what would you say is some of

2827
01:48:55,729 --> 01:48:54,119
the best expertise that NASA has

2828
01:48:57,770 --> 01:48:55,739
provided in this regard oh yeah

2829
01:48:59,149 --> 01:48:57,780
excellent question so with the uh you

2830
01:49:00,709 --> 01:48:59,159
know commercial crew program you know

2831
01:49:02,450 --> 01:49:00,719
it's kind of different from past crew

2832
01:49:04,609 --> 01:49:02,460
space flight programs right we have a

2833
01:49:06,649 --> 01:49:04,619
smaller team like for the spacecraft

2834
01:49:08,810 --> 01:49:06,659
there's around only about 100 NASA

2835
01:49:10,729 --> 01:49:08,820
Engineers on our team that are getting

2836
01:49:12,590 --> 01:49:10,739
all the work done and you know NASA

2837
01:49:15,050 --> 01:49:12,600
brings a lot of you know very special

2838
01:49:17,090 --> 01:49:15,060
expertise to the table uh to try to help

2839
01:49:20,209 --> 01:49:17,100
SpaceX and our other commercial Partners

2840
01:49:21,950 --> 01:49:20,219
you know prepare for uh this day right

2841
01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:21,960
getting everything ready we especially

2842
01:49:25,850 --> 01:49:23,760
brought some great expertise and things

2843
01:49:28,070 --> 01:49:25,860
like life support systems of course

2844
01:49:31,250 --> 01:49:28,080
spacesuits thermal Protection Systems

2845
01:49:32,750 --> 01:49:31,260
and perform a lot of analysis you know

2846
01:49:34,370 --> 01:49:32,760
in a lot of cases double checking the

2847
01:49:35,810 --> 01:49:34,380
great analysis performed by SpaceX

2848
01:49:38,149 --> 01:49:35,820
running the numbers making sure

2849
01:49:40,430 --> 01:49:38,159
everything matches up so that you know

2850
01:49:43,310 --> 01:49:40,440
we're assured of crew safety on launch

2851
01:49:45,229 --> 01:49:43,320
day absolutely well that is important

2852
01:49:47,330 --> 01:49:45,239
and you were telling me that you know

2853
01:49:50,090 --> 01:49:47,340
speaking of safety requirements that

2854
01:49:51,830 --> 01:49:50,100
there was a NASA safety requirement in

2855
01:49:54,649 --> 01:49:51,840
the case of extreme fire emergency that

2856
01:49:56,450 --> 01:49:54,659
combined with a dragon design will make

2857
01:49:58,370 --> 01:49:56,460
it so that astronauts will be able to do

2858
01:50:01,490 --> 01:49:58,380
something that's never been done before

2859
01:50:03,590 --> 01:50:01,500
what is that oh yeah so um you know as

2860
01:50:05,030 --> 01:50:03,600
as you mentioned right NASA set some

2861
01:50:07,370 --> 01:50:05,040
some really great safety requirements

2862
01:50:10,250 --> 01:50:07,380
for our crew the crew dragon has a lot

2863
01:50:11,870 --> 01:50:10,260
of oxygen and nitrox systems on board

2864
01:50:14,870 --> 01:50:11,880
for those really deep emergency

2865
01:50:16,490 --> 01:50:14,880
contingency cases you know for instance

2866
01:50:18,290 --> 01:50:16,500
feed the leak if we were to have a

2867
01:50:20,209 --> 01:50:18,300
quarter inch size hole in the cabin we

2868
01:50:22,790 --> 01:50:20,219
could provide breathable nitrox air to

2869
01:50:25,129 --> 01:50:22,800
the crew all the way to Landing uh also

2870
01:50:27,229 --> 01:50:25,139
in like a fire scenario if our if our

2871
01:50:29,450 --> 01:50:27,239
air scriber systems couldn't scrub it

2872
01:50:31,310 --> 01:50:29,460
out or Lucian Purge wasn't enough we had

2873
01:50:33,410 --> 01:50:31,320
the ability to vent the cabin completely

2874
01:50:35,629 --> 01:50:33,420
to vacuum while the crew is safely

2875
01:50:37,609 --> 01:50:35,639
pressurized in their spacesuits and

2876
01:50:39,770 --> 01:50:37,619
press it back up with a clean atmosphere

2877
01:50:41,810 --> 01:50:39,780
and so you know that's where you know

2878
01:50:43,550 --> 01:50:41,820
the commercial aspect of this is really

2879
01:50:45,229 --> 01:50:43,560
exciting for us you know you saw SpaceX

2880
01:50:46,669 --> 01:50:45,239
announced for Polaris Dawn right yeah

2881
01:50:49,609 --> 01:50:46,679
they're going to perform uh their first

2882
01:50:52,490 --> 01:50:49,619
dragon extra vehicular activity Eva

2883
01:50:53,930 --> 01:50:52,500
right actually do that similar type of a

2884
01:50:57,050 --> 01:50:53,940
thing where they can vent down the cabin

2885
01:50:58,970 --> 01:50:57,060
uh create uh like a impromptu airlock

2886
01:51:01,010 --> 01:50:58,980
and then repressurize it how about that

2887
01:51:02,750 --> 01:51:01,020
and we've got Raja here astronaut

2888
01:51:04,910 --> 01:51:02,760
depressed the captain you were ready for

2889
01:51:06,950 --> 01:51:04,920
it as an emergency scenario but for

2890
01:51:08,209 --> 01:51:06,960
Polaris Don gonna depress the cabin and

2891
01:51:09,830 --> 01:51:08,219
they float right out the door that's

2892
01:51:11,090 --> 01:51:09,840
super exciting to see the progress going

2893
01:51:12,229 --> 01:51:11,100
on in low earth orbit and

2894
01:51:13,850 --> 01:51:12,239
commercialization I mean that's that's

2895
01:51:14,810 --> 01:51:13,860
exactly the NASA dream and you heard the

2896
01:51:17,390 --> 01:51:14,820
administrator talk about that's what we

2897
01:51:18,830 --> 01:51:17,400
want to do is enable industry to do

2898
01:51:20,870 --> 01:51:18,840
things in low earth orbit and then let

2899
01:51:22,910 --> 01:51:20,880
NASA work on exploration in the moon and

2900
01:51:24,649 --> 01:51:22,920
Mars so this is yeah it's amazing to see

2901
01:51:26,270 --> 01:51:24,659
it happening and NASA is right there by

2902
01:51:28,189 --> 01:51:26,280
the side let's talk a little bit now

2903
01:51:30,590 --> 01:51:28,199
about the Falcon 9. you know

2904
01:51:33,890 --> 01:51:30,600
coincidentally you were also involved at

2905
01:51:36,410 --> 01:51:33,900
the beginning of that vehicle with NASA

2906
01:51:38,510 --> 01:51:36,420
What contributions were made to the

2907
01:51:40,729 --> 01:51:38,520
Falcon 9 and getting it going yeah so

2908
01:51:42,229 --> 01:51:40,739
you know I I remember being back when I

2909
01:51:43,850 --> 01:51:42,239
was a space shuttle propulsion engineer

2910
01:51:47,209 --> 01:51:43,860
you know watching those early Falcon one

2911
01:51:50,450 --> 01:51:47,219
live streams uh getting the first uh

2912
01:51:52,490 --> 01:51:50,460
privately funded rocket to orbit

2913
01:51:54,649 --> 01:51:52,500
um with uh with the liquid propelled

2914
01:51:57,229 --> 01:51:54,659
vehicle uh really exciting so when

2915
01:51:59,030 --> 01:51:57,239
Falcon 9 was coming along on the you

2916
01:52:01,850 --> 01:51:59,040
know commercial orbital transportation

2917
01:52:03,950 --> 01:52:01,860
services cots contracts

2918
01:52:06,590 --> 01:52:03,960
um they they were getting that Dragon

2919
01:52:08,330 --> 01:52:06,600
one ready Falcon 9 ready and I remember

2920
01:52:09,770 --> 01:52:08,340
you know that program was edited by

2921
01:52:11,390 --> 01:52:09,780
Kathy leaders who later became

2922
01:52:13,669 --> 01:52:11,400
commercial crew program manager analysis

2923
01:52:17,149 --> 01:52:13,679
the administrator but they tasked the

2924
01:52:19,430 --> 01:52:17,159
long Services team with reviewing the

2925
01:52:21,830 --> 01:52:19,440
safety of the Falcon 9 for CRS

2926
01:52:23,330 --> 01:52:21,840
Commercial resupply Services and at the

2927
01:52:25,970 --> 01:52:23,340
time show program was winding down I was

2928
01:52:27,770 --> 01:52:25,980
on detail to launch services so I asked

2929
01:52:29,570 --> 01:52:27,780
if I could join that team to help assess

2930
01:52:31,129 --> 01:52:29,580
it and you know before I knew it we were

2931
01:52:33,290 --> 01:52:31,139
working day to day with the SpaceX

2932
01:52:34,790 --> 01:52:33,300
propulsion engineers and you know that

2933
01:52:37,250 --> 01:52:34,800
was really an eye-opening experience

2934
01:52:39,770 --> 01:52:37,260
right right SpaceX was moving at a high

2935
01:52:41,149 --> 01:52:39,780
Pace rapid pace of innovation getting a

2936
01:52:43,310 --> 01:52:41,159
lot of Hardware built getting out there

2937
01:52:44,689 --> 01:52:43,320
testing it and so we were trying to

2938
01:52:46,850 --> 01:52:44,699
share the Lessons Learned we had from

2939
01:52:48,050 --> 01:52:46,860
shuttle and other NASA programs but at

2940
01:52:49,970 --> 01:52:48,060
the same time we were learning from them

2941
01:52:52,310 --> 01:52:49,980
and seeing new approaches and ways of

2942
01:52:54,350 --> 01:52:52,320
doing things so we you know tried to

2943
01:52:56,810 --> 01:52:54,360
pull together a lot of that expertise

2944
01:52:58,070 --> 01:52:56,820
try to share the you know the pitfalls

2945
01:53:01,189 --> 01:52:58,080
that they might come across along the

2946
01:53:03,890 --> 01:53:01,199
way but yeah I was able to sit in the

2947
01:53:05,990 --> 01:53:03,900
launch control center actually we're at

2948
01:53:07,189 --> 01:53:06,000
a hangar AE across for the first

2949
01:53:09,770 --> 01:53:07,199
falconheim flight that was just an

2950
01:53:11,330 --> 01:53:09,780
amazing day yeah and now you are working

2951
01:53:12,709 --> 01:53:11,340
I think you were telling me like as a

2952
01:53:14,450 --> 01:53:12,719
kid you drew a picture when you were 10

2953
01:53:16,250 --> 01:53:14,460
years old of a space shuttle and now you

2954
01:53:17,629 --> 01:53:16,260
got to hang it up on your desk you have

2955
01:53:19,609 --> 01:53:17,639
been working in space and thinking about

2956
01:53:21,530 --> 01:53:19,619
it for a long time oh yeah yeah when I

2957
01:53:23,209 --> 01:53:21,540
was a kid as a big fan of you know NASA

2958
01:53:25,010 --> 01:53:23,219
space shuttle was on TV pop culture

2959
01:53:27,250 --> 01:53:25,020
everywhere yeah I was a big Star Trek

2960
01:53:30,109 --> 01:53:27,260
buff so but it really was solidified

2961
01:53:32,330 --> 01:53:30,119
when my family went to the Johnson

2962
01:53:33,950 --> 01:53:32,340
Visitor Center when I was 10. you know

2963
01:53:36,109 --> 01:53:33,960
seeing real space flight Hardware just

2964
01:53:37,430 --> 01:53:36,119
thinking you know these these folks are

2965
01:53:40,010 --> 01:53:37,440
bringing you know the best things of

2966
01:53:42,350 --> 01:53:40,020
Star Trek to reality right solving all

2967
01:53:43,729 --> 01:53:42,360
your problems learning more about Earth

2968
01:53:46,609 --> 01:53:43,739
and space fostering International

2969
01:53:49,430 --> 01:53:46,619
cooperation so it's something I set my

2970
01:53:50,689 --> 01:53:49,440
sights on and and went into aerospace

2971
01:53:52,250 --> 01:53:50,699
engineering to go work on the space

2972
01:53:54,229 --> 01:53:52,260
program and here you are and you're

2973
01:53:56,330 --> 01:53:54,239
actually headed right now to firing room

2974
01:53:57,229 --> 01:53:56,340
four real quickly what you're what are

2975
01:53:59,510 --> 01:53:57,239
you going to be doing for this launch

2976
01:54:01,669 --> 01:53:59,520
yeah so I'm going to be hopping on

2977
01:54:03,290 --> 01:54:01,679
console for the uh on orbit shift as

2978
01:54:05,209 --> 01:54:03,300
spacecraft chief engineer with the

2979
01:54:06,770 --> 01:54:05,219
spacecraft engineering team so I'll go

2980
01:54:09,050 --> 01:54:06,780
over there my Deputy Brian remarks about

2981
01:54:10,970 --> 01:54:09,060
to pull for SpaceX for go to launch for

2982
01:54:12,350 --> 01:54:10,980
the launch Team and then we'll make sure

2983
01:54:13,910 --> 01:54:12,360
everything's good to go for our exciting

2984
01:54:16,430 --> 01:54:13,920

2995
01:54:36,890 --> 01:54:34,320
right now I'm honored to be joined by

2996
01:54:39,410 --> 01:54:36,900

2997
01:54:42,649 --> 01:54:39,420
Muhammad bin Rasheed Space Center as

2998
01:54:43,850 --> 01:54:42,659
well as haza al-mansori UAE astronaut

2999
01:54:45,890 --> 01:54:43,860
thank you both for being here tonight

3000
01:54:47,689 --> 01:54:45,900
thank you Jasmine for having us of

3001
01:54:49,189 --> 01:54:47,699
course we're so honored to have you here

3002
01:54:51,410 --> 01:54:49,199
and so on the first question for you

3003
01:54:53,030 --> 01:54:51,420
this is a really significant first the

3004
01:54:55,189 --> 01:54:53,040
first time that we have a commercial

3005
01:54:56,810 --> 01:54:55,199
crew astronaut from the UAE what does

3006
01:54:58,550 --> 01:54:56,820
that mean to you I mean that means a lot

3007
01:55:01,430 --> 01:54:58,560
I mean it's a big responsibility for us

3008
01:55:04,189 --> 01:55:01,440
and I think from day one when we kicked

3009
01:55:06,350 --> 01:55:04,199
this kicked off this program in 2017 we

3010
01:55:08,090 --> 01:55:06,360
wanted to have a long-term program a

3011
01:55:10,070 --> 01:55:08,100
sustainable program and a program that

3012
01:55:12,169 --> 01:55:10,080
has a positive impact on human space

3013
01:55:13,609 --> 01:55:12,179
flight so we selected our astronauts we

3014
01:55:15,530 --> 01:55:13,619
made sure they're training with NASA

3015
01:55:17,330 --> 01:55:15,540
they're training with Ross Cosmos they

3016
01:55:18,950 --> 01:55:17,340
get the full set of trainings so that

3017
01:55:21,229 --> 01:55:18,960
they can be astronauts that can

3018
01:55:23,330 --> 01:55:21,239
contribute to the advancement of human

3019
01:55:25,310 --> 01:55:23,340
space flight so this Mission really is a

3020
01:55:26,629 --> 01:55:25,320
fulfillment of that Vision today when we

3021
01:55:29,090 --> 01:55:26,639
get an astronaut from the UAE you're

3022
01:55:31,129 --> 01:55:29,100
going on a six-month increment and doing

3023
01:55:33,169 --> 01:55:31,139
the same things that NASA astronauts and

3024
01:55:34,850 --> 01:55:33,179
the Usos astronauts will be doing I

3025
01:55:35,810 --> 01:55:34,860
think that really means a lot to the UAE

3026
01:55:37,910 --> 01:55:35,820
really

3027
01:55:39,830 --> 01:55:37,920
as you just mentioned training with NASA

3028
01:55:41,689 --> 01:55:39,840
Hazel you were the first emirati in

3029
01:55:43,609 --> 01:55:41,699
space you and Sultan actually train

3030
01:55:45,649 --> 01:55:43,619
together can you talk about that that

3031
01:55:48,410 --> 01:55:45,659
was really great privilege I mean like

3032
01:55:49,970 --> 01:55:48,420
sunshine hot like in back in UAE that to

3033
01:55:52,129 --> 01:55:49,980
dream to good space that was a little

3034
01:55:54,109 --> 01:55:52,139
bit critical and even just to say that

3035
01:55:55,669 --> 01:55:54,119
in schools back home to say that I want

3036
01:55:58,490 --> 01:55:55,679
to be an astronaut that was something

3037
01:56:01,669 --> 01:55:58,500
that not an option for us but when they

3038
01:56:04,790 --> 01:56:01,679
did the announcement back in 2017 and we

3039
01:56:06,649 --> 01:56:04,800
saw that opportunity we applied Sultan

3040
01:56:09,470 --> 01:56:06,659
and myself and four thousand applicants

3041
01:56:11,689 --> 01:56:09,480
from UAE just to apply it to be your

3042
01:56:13,729 --> 01:56:11,699
astronauts so we had that privilege we

3043
01:56:16,250 --> 01:56:13,739
have been selected for the first patch

3044
01:56:18,790 --> 01:56:16,260
in UAE we went to Russia to train and I

3045
01:56:21,229 --> 01:56:18,800
went to space I flew space in 2019.

3046
01:56:24,109 --> 01:56:21,239
Sultan he was my backup in that mission

3047
01:56:26,450 --> 01:56:24,119
and I I am now as his backup in this

3048
01:56:28,970 --> 01:56:26,460
mission that was an amazing journey for

3049
01:56:30,770 --> 01:56:28,980
both of both of us I mean like we

3050
01:56:34,330 --> 01:56:30,780
trained back in Russia and we came here

3051
01:56:38,270 --> 01:56:34,340
we did the hall like Afghan training

3052
01:56:40,850 --> 01:56:38,280
the amount of support we we we saw in

3053
01:56:43,490 --> 01:56:40,860
the whole all Community here in at Nasa

3054
01:56:45,370 --> 01:56:43,500
that was really huge just to make this

3055
01:56:47,810 --> 01:56:45,380
Mission happen for UAE

3056
01:56:50,330 --> 01:56:47,820
it's big and huge and we are really

3057
01:56:53,090 --> 01:56:50,340
excited I am super excited to see my

3058
01:56:54,770 --> 01:56:53,100
colleague Sultan and Woody Steve and

3059
01:56:57,530 --> 01:56:54,780
Andrea vidaif launched the space it's

3060
01:57:00,490 --> 01:56:57,540
gonna be an amazing mission for them six

3061
01:57:03,229 --> 01:57:00,500
months onboard the station doing science

3062
01:57:05,209 --> 01:57:03,239
exploring and conducting different

3063
01:57:08,209 --> 01:57:05,219
sessions with different schools and kids

3064
01:57:09,890 --> 01:57:08,219
that's for me is a big thing it really

3065
01:57:11,149 --> 01:57:09,900
is it's a big thing we're so glad to

3066
01:57:13,609 --> 01:57:11,159
have both of you tonight thank you so

3067
01:57:16,129 --> 01:57:13,619
much thank you thank you of course Daryl

3068
01:57:18,589 --> 01:57:16,139
back to you thank you Jasmine and now we

3069
01:57:21,470 --> 01:57:18,599
are T-minus one hour and 33 minutes from

3070
01:57:23,510 --> 01:57:21,480
launch as we uh get ready for crew six

3071
01:57:25,910 --> 01:57:23,520
to take off from the Kennedy Space

3072
01:57:27,950 --> 01:57:25,920
Center now here's a closer look at some

3073
01:57:29,330 --> 01:57:27,960
of the life-changing science astronauts

3074
01:57:32,510 --> 01:57:29,340
are performing aboard the International

3075
01:57:36,770 --> 01:57:34,729
the International Space Station is a

3076
01:57:38,750 --> 01:57:36,780
state-of-the-art microgravity laboratory

3077
01:57:40,970 --> 01:57:38,760
that is unlocking discoveries not

3078
01:57:43,790 --> 01:57:40,980
possible on Earth and helping us push

3079
01:57:46,189 --> 01:57:43,800
farther into deep space every single day

3080
01:57:48,410 --> 01:57:46,199
we are answering big questions about

3081
01:57:49,790 --> 01:57:48,420
Earth and about space about where we

3082
01:57:51,649 --> 01:57:49,800
came from and about where we're going

3083
01:57:53,680 --> 01:57:51,659
but the other thing that we're doing is

3084
01:57:57,589 --> 01:57:53,690
we're learning more questions to ask

3085
01:57:59,990 --> 01:57:57,599
[Music]

3086
01:58:01,790 --> 01:58:00,000
microgravity turns almost everything we

3087
01:58:04,430 --> 01:58:01,800
know upside down

3088
01:58:07,310 --> 01:58:04,440
liquids behave completely differently

3089
01:58:09,890 --> 01:58:07,320
Fire Burns in new ways

3090
01:58:11,750 --> 01:58:09,900
biological systems reveal surprises

3091
01:58:13,850 --> 01:58:11,760
there's a few things that may have made

3092
01:58:15,890 --> 01:58:13,860
me gasp out loud a bombard space station

3093
01:58:17,689 --> 01:58:15,900
watching heart cells actually beat has

3094
01:58:19,790 --> 01:58:17,699
been a pretty big one

3095
01:58:21,109 --> 01:58:19,800
we're studying ways to grow food in

3096
01:58:24,169 --> 01:58:21,119
microgravity

3097
01:58:26,570 --> 01:58:24,179
I got to tell you these uh

3098
01:58:29,629 --> 01:58:26,580
these are pretty amazing we're learning

3099
01:58:31,669 --> 01:58:29,639
how human bodies react to life in space

3100
01:58:34,550 --> 01:58:31,679
how to keep crew members safe and strong

3101
01:58:36,649 --> 01:58:34,560
on long duration exploration missions

3102
01:58:39,350 --> 01:58:36,659
deadlifts are awesome on Earth they're

3103
01:58:41,450 --> 01:58:39,360
also awesome in zero gravity

3104
01:58:43,490 --> 01:58:41,460
we're testing technologies that will be

3105
01:58:46,490 --> 01:58:43,500
critical to our return to the moon and

3106
01:58:48,649 --> 01:58:46,500
great leap to Mars

3107
01:58:50,709 --> 01:58:48,659
our research has contributed to medical

3108
01:58:53,510 --> 01:58:50,719
and social benefits on our home planet

3109
01:58:55,790 --> 01:58:53,520
allowing us to find new ways to combat

3110
01:58:58,070 --> 01:58:55,800
disease back on Earth and develop

3111
01:59:01,850 --> 01:58:58,080
Technologies to deliver clean water to

3112
01:59:06,830 --> 01:59:04,250
the spectacular vantage point of more

3113
01:59:08,510 --> 01:59:06,840
than 200 miles above our planet supports

3114
01:59:11,990 --> 01:59:08,520
our monitoring of Earth's climate

3115
01:59:13,790 --> 01:59:12,000
natural disasters and plant life the

3116
01:59:16,070 --> 01:59:13,800
orbital perspective that we have here on

3117
01:59:18,530 --> 01:59:16,080
the ISS is just absolutely amazing earth

3118
01:59:21,410 --> 01:59:18,540
is gorgeous

3119
01:59:23,870 --> 01:59:21,420
the growing new space economy so vital

3120
01:59:27,410 --> 01:59:23,880
to our continued progress in space is

3121
01:59:32,209 --> 01:59:30,410
we're inspiring future Generations from

3122
01:59:36,290 --> 01:59:32,219
a platform that is one of the largest

3123
01:59:40,129 --> 01:59:36,300
International collaborations of our time

3124
01:59:40,970 --> 01:59:40,139
we are doing science at 17 500 miles per

3125
01:59:46,390 --> 01:59:40,980
hour

3126
01:59:51,770 --> 01:59:49,850
[Music]

3127
01:59:53,990 --> 01:59:51,780
that's where our three astronauts and

3128
01:59:55,550 --> 01:59:54,000
one Cosmonaut are headed

3129
01:59:58,729 --> 01:59:55,560
but first

3130
02:00:01,609 --> 01:59:58,739
got some pre-launch configuration to do

3131
02:00:05,030 --> 02:00:01,619
gotta fuel up the rocket

3132
02:00:06,950 --> 02:00:05,040
and then of course light it and launch

3133
02:00:08,570 --> 02:00:06,960
we're coming up on one hour and 30

3134
02:00:11,390 --> 02:00:08,580
minutes

3135
02:00:12,950 --> 02:00:11,400
before we launch crew six to the

3136
02:00:15,770 --> 02:00:12,960
International Space Station the crew of

3137
02:00:18,709 --> 02:00:15,780
four are in the capsule as you just saw

3138
02:00:21,830 --> 02:00:18,719
the hatch is closed and we successfully

3139
02:00:24,530 --> 02:00:21,840
completed a leak check on the hatch as

3140
02:00:29,209 --> 02:00:26,750
launch Engineers are located in firing

3141
02:00:31,490 --> 02:00:29,219
room four at the NASA launch control

3142
02:00:33,169 --> 02:00:31,500
center at Kennedy Space Center they have

3143
02:00:35,450 --> 02:00:33,179
a view through their large window of pad

3144
02:00:37,850 --> 02:00:35,460
39a and this is what they're looking at

3145
02:00:39,649 --> 02:00:37,860
you can see the launch control center

3146
02:00:43,010 --> 02:00:39,659
it's uh the building

3147
02:00:46,490 --> 02:00:43,020
just to the right of the large VAB

3148
02:00:48,530 --> 02:00:46,500
just below that NASA logo

3149
02:00:50,629 --> 02:00:48,540
the Falcon 9 team is

3150
02:00:53,629 --> 02:00:50,639
loading helium and nitrogen gas into

3151
02:00:55,790 --> 02:00:53,639
storage bottles on the launch vehicle

3152
02:00:57,530 --> 02:00:55,800
they completed the RF checkouts the

3153
02:00:59,270 --> 02:00:57,540
radio frequency

3154
02:01:01,729 --> 02:00:59,280
did a final review of the vehicle

3155
02:01:03,589 --> 02:01:01,739
testing performed earlier today

3156
02:01:06,050 --> 02:01:03,599
and the SpaceX chief engineer for this

3157
02:01:07,850 --> 02:01:06,060
Mission he's Dan Alex and he will check

3158
02:01:10,550 --> 02:01:07,860
with the team at T-minus 80 minutes to

3159
02:01:13,070 --> 02:01:10,560
verify that we are good to continue the

3160
02:01:15,589 --> 02:01:13,080
countdown now the the next major

3161
02:01:17,390 --> 02:01:15,599
activity is Flowing a small amount of

3162
02:01:19,970 --> 02:01:17,400
fuel into the first stage to Prime the

3163
02:01:22,250 --> 02:01:19,980
Merlin 1D engines for ignition

3164
02:01:25,310 --> 02:01:22,260
the team is also monitoring Fuel and

3165
02:01:26,990 --> 02:01:25,320
liquid oxygen loading preparations to

3166
02:01:29,390 --> 02:01:27,000
make sure the propellants in the ground

3167
02:01:31,430 --> 02:01:29,400
tanks are correctly chilled prior to

3168
02:01:35,570 --> 02:01:31,440
loading them on the Falcon and that will

3169
02:01:37,790 --> 02:01:35,580
happen at T minus 35 minutes I'm with

3170
02:01:39,290 --> 02:01:37,800
NASA astronaut rajachary

3171
02:01:41,990 --> 02:01:39,300
and let's take a look at the weather

3172
02:01:44,870 --> 02:01:42,000
really quick weather is looking great we

3173
02:01:47,330 --> 02:01:44,880
are only a five percent probability of

3174
02:01:49,729 --> 02:01:47,340
violation and that's only for the

3175
02:01:52,669 --> 02:01:49,739
possibility a very slight possibility

3176
02:01:55,189 --> 02:01:52,679
that a cumulus cloud goes over the

3177
02:01:57,770 --> 02:01:55,199
launch pad right now we're looking clear

3178
02:01:59,530 --> 02:01:57,780
we are green on weather winds are 7 to

3179
02:02:04,370 --> 02:01:59,540
12 miles per hour out of the Southwest

3180
02:02:06,649 --> 02:02:04,380
temperature is a comfortable 72 degrees

3181
02:02:09,709 --> 02:02:06,659
and the weather and the ascent Corridor

3182
02:02:10,609 --> 02:02:09,719
is also good to go in case there were

3183
02:02:12,649 --> 02:02:10,619
abort

3184
02:02:14,450 --> 02:02:12,659
can't ask for better weather conditions

3185
02:02:16,370 --> 02:02:14,460
than this Raja yeah this is a great

3186
02:02:18,770 --> 02:02:16,380
night for a launch and let's hope the

3187
02:02:20,870 --> 02:02:18,780
vehicle stays on progress like you

3188
02:02:23,089 --> 02:02:20,880
mentioned right now the next big thing

3189
02:02:25,850 --> 02:02:23,099
will be when they arm the Les but before

3190
02:02:27,890 --> 02:02:25,860
they do that they have to clear out the

3191
02:02:30,109 --> 02:02:27,900
crew arm so we saw like you mentioned

3192
02:02:31,189 --> 02:02:30,119
the hatch seal has been checked and now

3193
02:02:33,770 --> 02:02:31,199
they're closing out the white room

3194
02:02:35,390 --> 02:02:33,780
they'll Evacuate the closeout crew and

3195
02:02:36,830 --> 02:02:35,400
then that will be when they let the crew

3196
02:02:38,390 --> 02:02:36,840
know that they're ready to actually to

3197
02:02:39,589 --> 02:02:38,400
arm the Les before they can start prop

3198
02:02:42,350 --> 02:02:39,599
loading

3199
02:02:44,990 --> 02:02:42,360
um you mentioned uh the uh the Falcon

3200
02:02:46,370 --> 02:02:45,000
Engineers so like the F9 team is really

3201
02:02:48,649 --> 02:02:46,380
kind of taking the prime role right now

3202
02:02:49,729 --> 02:02:48,659
monitoring the systems getting ready to

3203
02:02:51,890 --> 02:02:49,739
make sure it's right to actually start

3204
02:02:53,750 --> 02:02:51,900
to load the prop on the vehicle the

3205
02:02:56,510 --> 02:02:53,760
reason they do it on the vehicle uh it's

3206
02:02:58,669 --> 02:02:56,520
because Rockets Rockets are hard as it

3207
02:03:01,490 --> 02:02:58,679
turns out again these places hard and so

3208
02:03:02,750 --> 02:03:01,500
your your mass margins the weight is so

3209
02:03:04,370 --> 02:03:02,760
critical so you really want to wait

3210
02:03:06,290 --> 02:03:04,380
until the latest you possibly can to put

3211
02:03:07,970 --> 02:03:06,300
the gas on the vehicle because one it's

3212
02:03:10,070 --> 02:03:07,980
cryogenically cool I mean it's super

3213
02:03:12,290 --> 02:03:10,080
cold and so it starts to boil off and so

3214
02:03:14,390 --> 02:03:12,300
the less amount of time it's on the

3215
02:03:16,010 --> 02:03:14,400
rocket the more gas you have and so you

3216
02:03:17,270 --> 02:03:16,020
want to wait until as late as you can

3217
02:03:19,790 --> 02:03:17,280
but also have enough time obviously to

3218
02:03:21,649 --> 02:03:19,800
do it and get to space so the longer you

3219
02:03:23,209 --> 02:03:21,659
wait and it's a balance of wait as long

3220
02:03:24,290 --> 02:03:23,219
as you can but still still have enough

3221
02:03:26,089 --> 02:03:24,300
to get it all on board and that gives

3222
02:03:28,070 --> 02:03:26,099
you the most gas to use to get into

3223
02:03:30,470 --> 02:03:28,080
orbit and then have gas to get to the

3224
02:03:33,770 --> 02:03:30,480
space station and SpaceX using super

3225
02:03:36,350 --> 02:03:33,780
chilled highly densified liquid oxygen

3226
02:03:39,169 --> 02:03:36,360
that as you say you get more performance

3227
02:03:41,030 --> 02:03:39,179
at it out of it the later they load

3228
02:03:43,189 --> 02:03:41,040
currently we're at one hour and 27

3229
02:03:46,490 --> 02:03:43,199
minutes and Counting looking at launch

3230
02:03:48,290 --> 02:03:46,500
complex 39a and the Falcon 9 rocket a

3231
02:03:51,109 --> 02:03:48,300
new booster

3232
02:03:52,970 --> 02:03:51,119
on this one

3233
02:03:55,850 --> 02:03:52,980
along with the

3234
02:03:58,189 --> 02:03:55,860
Dragon endeavor

3235
02:04:02,330 --> 02:03:58,199
the booster

3236
02:04:06,109 --> 02:04:04,430
no soot on this one so it didn't return

3237
02:04:07,910 --> 02:04:06,119
from a flight they're gonna fly it for

3238
02:04:08,990 --> 02:04:07,920
the first time for cruise six it's in

3239
02:04:11,089 --> 02:04:09,000
good shape

3240
02:04:13,129 --> 02:04:11,099
and ready to go

3241
02:04:14,810 --> 02:04:13,139
Dragon will fly its next four-person

3242
02:04:17,689 --> 02:04:14,820
crew to the International Space Station

3243
02:04:21,350 --> 02:04:17,699
the astronauts that are inside

3244
02:04:23,570 --> 02:04:21,360
our commander Stephen Bowen

3245
02:04:26,530 --> 02:04:23,580
he's in seat number three pilot Woody

3246
02:04:29,450 --> 02:04:26,540
hoberg and Mission specialist Sultan

3247
02:04:30,709 --> 02:04:29,460
al-niadi and Andre fedyav

3248
02:04:31,910 --> 02:04:30,719
and you can see they've got their

3249
02:04:33,470 --> 02:04:31,920
advisors up we talked before about

3250
02:04:35,510 --> 02:04:33,480
they'll they'll leave their advisors up

3251
02:04:37,910 --> 02:04:35,520
until they arm the Las or the launch

3252
02:04:39,109 --> 02:04:37,920
Escape system just to just be a little

3253
02:04:40,370 --> 02:04:39,119
more comfortable

3254
02:04:42,229 --> 02:04:40,380
um and you did mention we had actually

3255
02:04:44,330 --> 02:04:42,239
the opposite configuration for for crew

3256
02:04:47,270 --> 02:04:44,340
three we had a new capsule endurance and

3257
02:04:48,770 --> 02:04:47,280
then a reused booster but today uh like

3258
02:04:51,050 --> 02:04:48,780
you said the fleet leading Endeavor

3259
02:04:52,129 --> 02:04:51,060
capsule and a new booster new first

3260
02:04:54,410 --> 02:04:52,139
stage

3261
02:04:56,510 --> 02:04:54,420
and uh one of the cool things we get to

3262
02:04:58,490 --> 02:04:56,520
see uh you know while the launch

3263
02:05:00,649 --> 02:04:58,500
coverage the folks here are actually KSC

3264
02:05:01,609 --> 02:05:00,659
the the launch covers is on the capsule

3265
02:05:02,990 --> 02:05:01,619
but the other thing that happens with

3266
02:05:04,790 --> 02:05:03,000
the SpaceX launch is that first stage

3267
02:05:05,750 --> 02:05:04,800
coming back which is also a cool thing

3268
02:05:06,830 --> 02:05:05,760
to see which I haven't seen before

3269
02:05:08,390 --> 02:05:06,840
because I haven't seen a launch but I'm

3270
02:05:09,770 --> 02:05:08,400
looking for looking forward to looking

3271
02:05:11,450 --> 02:05:09,780
for that today

3272
02:05:12,890 --> 02:05:11,460
um so I got to enjoy the ride in the

3273
02:05:14,450 --> 02:05:12,900
Falcon 9 but never actually saw what

3274
02:05:17,450 --> 02:05:14,460
happened the first stage on my launch

3275
02:05:19,490 --> 02:05:17,460
well just read the instructions is the

3276
02:05:22,370 --> 02:05:19,500
uh that's the the ship the autonomous

3277
02:05:24,530 --> 02:05:22,380
drone ship it is a landing platform that

3278
02:05:27,229 --> 02:05:24,540
is out in the Atlantic Ocean right now

3279
02:05:28,910 --> 02:05:27,239
several hundred miles offshore and it

3280
02:05:31,070 --> 02:05:28,920
will be receiving as you mentioned that

3281
02:05:33,649 --> 02:05:31,080
first stage booster and we'll see that

3282
02:05:35,990 --> 02:05:33,659
in our coverage as it comes back down to

3283
02:05:38,030 --> 02:05:36,000
earth and of course SpaceX has had great

3284
02:05:40,430 --> 02:05:38,040
success lately with Landing that first

3285
02:05:42,770 --> 02:05:40,440
stage booster and then they'll put it

3286
02:05:45,709 --> 02:05:42,780
right back in and get it refurbished and

3287
02:05:46,729 --> 02:05:45,719
put it into the cycle of boosters for

3288
02:05:49,729 --> 02:05:46,739
flight

3289
02:05:51,709 --> 02:05:49,739
yeah it's impressive uh the the Cadence

3290
02:05:53,270 --> 02:05:51,719
that that we've seen them develop with

3291
02:05:55,790 --> 02:05:53,280
how quickly we can recycle the boosters

3292
02:05:57,709 --> 02:05:55,800
uh and actually it's funny the capsules

3293
02:05:59,810 --> 02:05:57,719
takes a lot along as the as long to

3294
02:06:02,030 --> 02:05:59,820
recycle as it does for us to rehab so my

3295
02:06:03,290 --> 02:06:02,040
post flight rehab was about six-ish

3296
02:06:04,550 --> 02:06:03,300
months to kind of feel back to normal

3297
02:06:05,990 --> 02:06:04,560
that's about the same time endurance

3298
02:06:07,790 --> 02:06:06,000
launched again under the space station

3299
02:06:09,950 --> 02:06:07,800
with crew five so it's up there now so

3300
02:06:11,629 --> 02:06:09,960
about the time I had my bone density and

3301
02:06:13,430 --> 02:06:11,639
muscle all back was the same time that

3302
02:06:15,709 --> 02:06:13,440
the capsule I rode in was ready to go

3303
02:06:17,810 --> 02:06:15,719
new heat shield layers and and ready to

3304
02:06:19,790 --> 02:06:17,820
blast off so uh it's kind of cool the

3305
02:06:22,430 --> 02:06:19,800
the person in the machine are both

3306
02:06:23,750 --> 02:06:22,440
refurbished

3307
02:06:26,209 --> 02:06:23,760
yeah you were mentioning when you came

3308
02:06:28,490 --> 02:06:26,219
back from space you you know you had to

3309
02:06:30,109 --> 02:06:28,500
get acclimated and and there was an

3310
02:06:31,850 --> 02:06:30,119
adjustment period yeah absolutely and

3311
02:06:33,709 --> 02:06:31,860
it's kind of different phases um when

3312
02:06:35,510 --> 02:06:33,719
you'll see like when crew 5 comes back

3313
02:06:36,950 --> 02:06:35,520
here in a few weeks you'll see them take

3314
02:06:38,990 --> 02:06:36,960
them out of the capsule on gurneys

3315
02:06:41,629 --> 02:06:39,000
that's just it's difficult uh to walk

3316
02:06:43,669 --> 02:06:41,639
and maintain your balance you can but it

3317
02:06:44,750 --> 02:06:43,679
is easy to tip over and so it takes a

3318
02:06:47,390 --> 02:06:44,760
few days for your kind of your

3319
02:06:49,550 --> 02:06:47,400
vestibular system to reset uh of about a

3320
02:06:50,990 --> 02:06:49,560
week for kind of your more your balance

3321
02:06:52,189 --> 02:06:51,000
of stability and then potentially a few

3322
02:06:54,229 --> 02:06:52,199
months for some of your your full

3323
02:06:55,970 --> 02:06:54,239
strength to come back when you're in

3324
02:06:58,310 --> 02:06:55,980
space you get to

3325
02:07:00,050 --> 02:06:58,320
bring some personal items with you to

3326
02:07:02,510 --> 02:07:00,060
kind of remind you of home right each

3327
02:07:04,550 --> 02:07:02,520
crew six astronaut is allowed to bring a

3328
02:07:06,589 --> 02:07:04,560
few personal items for the roughly

3329
02:07:08,810 --> 02:07:06,599
six-month stay in space

3330
02:07:11,810 --> 02:07:08,820
and so here are a few of the items that

3331
02:07:14,450 --> 02:07:11,820
they are taking up for crew six Sultan

3332
02:07:16,129 --> 02:07:14,460
al-niadi said he's bringing a kimono the

3333

he's also bringing some small toy

3337
02:07:27,530 --> 02:07:26,340

02:07:39,229 --> 02:07:37,260
but for the astronaut right there the

3344
02:07:41,030 --> 02:07:39,239
second from the left

3345
02:07:43,250 --> 02:07:41,040
Woody hoberg

3346
02:07:45,709 --> 02:07:43,260
he's bringing one simple item and that's

3347
02:07:48,410 --> 02:07:45,719
a photograph with deep personal meaning

3348
02:07:52,609 --> 02:07:50,089
in terms of personal items mine's uh

3349
02:07:55,189 --> 02:07:52,619
simple unfortunately over the summer I I

3350
02:07:56,810 --> 02:07:55,199
lost my father and so I'm just bringing

3351
02:07:58,970 --> 02:07:56,820
a photo of him that means a lot to me

3352
02:08:01,070 --> 02:07:58,980
and I wish he could come along with me

3353
02:08:02,990 --> 02:08:01,080
but at least I'll

3354
02:08:04,669 --> 02:08:03,000
I'll well I will be bringing him along

3355
02:08:06,709 --> 02:08:04,679
with me

3356
02:08:09,530 --> 02:08:06,719
and here is the photo that he's bringing

3357
02:08:12,229 --> 02:08:09,540
Woody says it's a picture of his dad Jim

3358
02:08:14,149 --> 02:08:12,239
hoberg finishing the Boston Marathon and

3359
02:08:16,310 --> 02:08:14,159
leaving it all on the course

3360
02:08:17,930 --> 02:08:16,320
Jim hoberg along with his wife Peggy

3361
02:08:19,970 --> 02:08:17,940
Rays Woody and his brother in Pittsburgh

3362
02:08:22,310 --> 02:08:19,980
Pennsylvania he was an electrical

3363
02:08:24,470 --> 02:08:22,320
engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon

3364
02:08:27,050 --> 02:08:24,480
University where he was known for his

3365
02:08:29,450 --> 02:08:27,060
exceptional teaching he was 75 years of

3366
02:08:31,729 --> 02:08:29,460
age when he passed away last year what

3367
02:08:34,430 --> 02:08:31,739
he says he will remember his father for

3368
02:08:35,870 --> 02:08:34,440
always showing up and for his Relentless

3369
02:08:38,330 --> 02:08:35,880
Pursuit Of Truth

3370
02:08:40,910 --> 02:08:38,340
he says when he gets to space he plans

3371
02:08:44,270 --> 02:08:40,920
to keep the photo in his crew quarters

3372
02:08:46,010 --> 02:08:44,280
that's a touching thing to do yeah for

3373
02:08:47,390 --> 02:08:46,020
his father and I think just all the more

3374
02:08:50,149 --> 02:08:47,400
reason we're proud of the turtle's name

3375
02:08:51,770 --> 02:08:50,159
is Woody's dad is is why Woody is Woody

3376
02:08:54,830 --> 02:08:51,780
right so that's that's just like all of

3377
02:08:56,450 --> 02:08:54,840
us and uh yeah it was uh sad for that to

3378
02:08:57,890 --> 02:08:56,460
happen while he was in training um and

3379
02:09:00,830 --> 02:08:57,900
I'm glad he's able to take him with him

3380
02:09:02,450 --> 02:09:00,840
to orbit now you mentioned that you

3381
02:09:04,490 --> 02:09:02,460
actually brought some items on board and

3382
02:09:06,109 --> 02:09:04,500
we actually have some of them some of

3383
02:09:08,390 --> 02:09:06,119
the things from your flight kits we want

3384
02:09:10,189 --> 02:09:08,400
to take a look at that so basically uh

3385
02:09:12,050 --> 02:09:10,199
in the dragon you have about a shoebox

3386
02:09:13,189 --> 02:09:12,060
size of stuff that you can bring so

3387
02:09:15,950 --> 02:09:13,199
those crew can bring things so I brought

3388
02:09:17,629 --> 02:09:15,960
some show and tell so uh so I also

3389
02:09:20,209 --> 02:09:17,639
brought some pictures along my kids so

3390
02:09:22,729 --> 02:09:20,219
we've got some some cards I had children

3391
02:09:24,050 --> 02:09:22,739
made for me uh so all in all just like

3392
02:09:25,490 --> 02:09:24,060
Woody all these things wound up in my

3393
02:09:26,990 --> 02:09:25,500
crew quarters on the space station went

3394
02:09:29,930 --> 02:09:27,000
to space of this all went to space this

3395
02:09:31,490 --> 02:09:29,940
is my uh my PT gear from the academy the

3396
02:09:34,010 --> 02:09:31,500
Air Force Academy

3397
02:09:35,570 --> 02:09:34,020
um so and people accuse me of of buying

3398
02:09:37,550 --> 02:09:35,580
one but it's legit because it's still

3399
02:09:39,470 --> 02:09:37,560
got the stamp with like oh there it is

3400
02:09:41,270 --> 02:09:39,480
yeah so that's the real deal that's uh

3401
02:09:42,649 --> 02:09:41,280
it doesn't fit I think maybe the shirt

3402
02:09:44,930 --> 02:09:42,659
trunk over the years I think is what

3403
02:09:47,209 --> 02:09:44,940
happened that's what I tell myself

3404
02:09:49,250 --> 02:09:47,219
um my wife's gonna kill me but uh I'm

3405
02:09:51,050 --> 02:09:49,260
not supposed to show this oh this is my

3406
02:09:53,450 --> 02:09:51,060
my space retainer

3407
02:09:55,010 --> 02:09:53,460
um because so I had braces when I was a

3408
02:09:56,930 --> 02:09:55,020
kid and now that I'm a dad having to get

3409
02:09:58,430 --> 02:09:56,940
Think About Braces my kids I know how

3410
02:09:59,930 --> 02:09:58,440
expensive it is and I didn't want to

3411
02:10:01,250 --> 02:09:59,940
have to get braces again so I took it

3412
02:10:02,990 --> 02:10:01,260
it's possibly yeah this is my space

3413
02:10:05,810 --> 02:10:03,000
retainer yeah you don't want to have to

3414
02:10:08,290 --> 02:10:05,820
redo braces no so but so those things

3415
02:10:11,930 --> 02:10:08,300
floated right yeah

3416
02:10:13,490 --> 02:10:11,940
a turtle patch of course so that's

3417
02:10:16,070 --> 02:10:13,500
pretty typical for praying to bring uh

3418
02:10:18,109 --> 02:10:16,080
patches things like that my wife made me

3419
02:10:19,910 --> 02:10:18,119
uh I had several cards for different

3420
02:10:22,729 --> 02:10:19,920
days of the week so care package style

3421
02:10:24,649 --> 02:10:22,739
cards really for every not not every day

3422
02:10:27,649 --> 02:10:24,659
okay but this was this was like uh any

3423
02:10:29,629 --> 02:10:27,659
Thursday card oh that's sweet so like

3424
02:10:32,330 --> 02:10:29,639
like most things in my life she's better

3425
02:10:34,550 --> 02:10:32,340
than me so she thought of that this is a

3426
02:10:35,990 --> 02:10:34,560
pair of dice so this is uh in my first

3427
02:10:37,430 --> 02:10:36,000
Fighter Squadron in the Air Force was

3428
02:10:39,350 --> 02:10:37,440
the 90th Fighter Squadron which is the

3429
02:10:42,290 --> 02:10:39,360
paradise and if you notice any direction

3430
02:10:43,970 --> 02:10:42,300
is always seven Lucky Seven and so you

3431
02:10:46,010 --> 02:10:43,980
get your first one you basically get

3432
02:10:47,750 --> 02:10:46,020
these pair after your combat qualified

3433
02:10:50,149 --> 02:10:47,760
in the 90th Fighter Squadron and then

3434
02:10:52,129 --> 02:10:50,159
you you wear them on your pocket and

3435
02:10:54,649 --> 02:10:52,139
then an rmo which stands for round metal

3436
02:10:55,970 --> 02:10:54,659
object we avoid saying the word coin in

3437
02:10:57,709 --> 02:10:55,980
the air force of tradition is when you

3438
02:10:59,089 --> 02:10:57,719
say the word that's a challenge to

3439
02:11:00,950 --> 02:10:59,099
someone that they have to have it so we

3440
02:11:03,530 --> 02:11:00,960
use the word we use the acronym rmo but

3441
02:11:06,950 --> 02:11:03,540
so this is our crew three one our crew

3442
02:11:08,030 --> 02:11:06,960
three patch Expedition 66 patch hold

3443
02:11:10,189 --> 02:11:08,040
that for a second that was really neat

3444
02:11:12,310 --> 02:11:10,199
you helped in the design of this with

3445
02:11:15,290 --> 02:11:12,320
the fire coming out of the door

3446
02:11:17,089 --> 02:11:15,300
yeah so the the crew 3 patch has yeah

3447
02:11:19,010 --> 02:11:17,099
the three and then the dragon like the

3448
02:11:20,930 --> 02:11:19,020
head of a dragon in the the flame and

3449
02:11:23,510 --> 02:11:20,940
people do point out this is you wouldn't

3450
02:11:24,410 --> 02:11:23,520
want to actually see flame though that

3451
02:11:26,629 --> 02:11:24,420
would be a bad thing that would be the

3452
02:11:28,729 --> 02:11:26,639
abort engine but uh but it's a cool it's

3453
02:11:30,470 --> 02:11:28,739
a cool visual graphic oh very good very

3454
02:11:31,910 --> 02:11:30,480
good and all that stuff went to space it

3455
02:11:33,470 --> 02:11:31,920
did yep so thank you for sharing that

3456
02:11:35,209 --> 02:11:33,480
with us that was really neat to walk

3457
02:11:36,709 --> 02:11:35,219
through everything that you took up and

3458
02:11:38,689 --> 02:11:36,719
all of that fit into a shoebox all if

3459
02:11:40,430 --> 02:11:38,699
it's in a shoe box yeah exactly all

3460
02:11:41,810 --> 02:11:40,440
right well thanks in space it floats out

3461
02:11:43,970 --> 02:11:41,820
so you got to be really careful to keep

3462
02:11:46,729 --> 02:11:43,980
track of it all right you mentioned you

3463
02:11:49,310 --> 02:11:46,739
know the crew patch and so uh on that

3464
02:11:51,169 --> 02:11:49,320
note every NASA space flight going to

3465
02:11:53,330 --> 02:11:51,179
station has a mission patch designed by

3466
02:11:55,129 --> 02:11:53,340
the crew and this is crew six's Mission

3467
02:11:57,890 --> 02:11:55,139
patch and what you'll notice right away

3468
02:12:00,169 --> 02:11:57,900
is the wooden dragon ship with a dragon

3469
02:12:02,810 --> 02:12:00,179
figure head that's because each crew 6

3470
02:12:05,270 --> 02:12:02,820
member has an affinity for seafaring

3471
02:12:07,189 --> 02:12:05,280
vessels huh how about that and check out

3472
02:12:08,709 --> 02:12:07,199
the anchor it's the International Space

3473
02:12:12,410 --> 02:12:08,719
Station sitting right there on the ship

3474
02:12:14,810 --> 02:12:12,420
uh lastly the sale crew 6 says

3475
02:12:16,970 --> 02:12:14,820
represents the three planetary bodies of

3476
02:12:18,350 --> 02:12:16,980
the Earth Moon and Mars and you can see

3477
02:12:20,689 --> 02:12:18,360
the Earthen blue

3478
02:12:22,669 --> 02:12:20,699
the moon in gray and white with the

3479
02:12:24,709 --> 02:12:22,679
number six and then the ultimate

3480
02:12:26,990 --> 02:12:24,719
destination of NASA's Artemis program

3481
02:12:28,669 --> 02:12:27,000
the red planet

3482
02:12:30,109 --> 02:12:28,679
that's a pretty cool design very cool

3483
02:12:31,430 --> 02:12:30,119
yeah that's the cool thing about patches

3484
02:12:33,890 --> 02:12:31,440
there's always so much hidden meaning

3485
02:12:35,990 --> 02:12:33,900
and it's uh all the subtlies and the

3486
02:12:37,790 --> 02:12:36,000
themes um even down to the colors and

3487
02:12:39,410 --> 02:12:37,800
the number of stars all that is it goes

3488
02:12:41,629 --> 02:12:39,420
into it so it's always a fun thing to

3489
02:12:43,010 --> 02:12:41,639
design a patch uh and kind of pull in a

3490
02:12:45,109 --> 02:12:43,020
little bit of each person and the crew

3491
02:12:46,850 --> 02:12:45,119
into it and you work very closely with

3492
02:12:49,010 --> 02:12:46,860
the artists that designed your patch and

3493
02:12:51,890 --> 02:12:49,020
every astronaut does right we do yep

3494
02:12:54,290 --> 02:12:51,900
yeah so the JSC helps we we had a a

3495
02:12:55,669 --> 02:12:54,300
known artist uh I'm not sure if I'm

3496
02:12:57,290 --> 02:12:55,679
supposed to say his name but basically

3497
02:12:59,510 --> 02:12:57,300
did a pro bono for us that helped out

3498
02:13:01,550 --> 02:12:59,520
which was which was super uh super

3499
02:13:02,810 --> 02:13:01,560
grateful for that and but you're exactly

3500
02:13:05,030 --> 02:13:02,820
right but you would kind of have some

3501
02:13:06,589 --> 02:13:05,040
ideas of like some some themes uh then

3502
02:13:08,089 --> 02:13:06,599
you kind of iterate uh on that with them

3503
02:13:09,950 --> 02:13:08,099
and the same thing so there's the crew

3504
02:13:10,970 --> 02:13:09,960
patch and then uh I think Courtney

3505
02:13:11,930 --> 02:13:10,980
mentioned earlier when they get to the

3506
02:13:14,689 --> 02:13:11,940
space station they'll be part of

3507
02:13:15,950 --> 02:13:14,699
expedition 68 which also has uh a patch

3508
02:13:18,830 --> 02:13:15,960
and then they will also be up there for

3509
02:13:20,510 --> 02:13:18,840
Expedition 69 so they'll have uh usually

3510
02:13:23,270 --> 02:13:20,520
have a vehicle patch and then a

3511
02:13:25,609 --> 02:13:23,280
Expedition patch Raja full of so much

3512
02:13:28,129 --> 02:13:25,619
exciting information here and insight

3513
02:13:30,050 --> 02:13:28,139
into what it's like to be a NASA

3514
02:13:32,030 --> 02:13:30,060
astronaut and to fly This Crew dragon go

3515
02:13:34,490 --> 02:13:32,040
up to the International Space Station so

3516
02:13:36,950 --> 02:13:34,500
we want to ask another social question

3517
02:13:39,589 --> 02:13:36,960
send them all in Facebook Twitter twitch

3518
02:13:41,450 --> 02:13:39,599
and YouTube and here's a question from

3519
02:13:43,550 --> 02:13:41,460
at 11b

3520
02:13:45,830 --> 02:13:43,560
does the two plus hours in the seats

3521
02:13:48,770 --> 02:13:45,840
prior to launch go slowly or is the

3522
02:13:50,270 --> 02:13:48,780
level of activity such that time passes

3523
02:13:52,669 --> 02:13:50,280
quickly

3524
02:13:54,530 --> 02:13:52,679
it's a good question so I would say uh

3525
02:13:56,089 --> 02:13:54,540
it actually goes pretty quick because

3526
02:13:57,350 --> 02:13:56,099
what they're actually doing you can see

3527
02:13:59,209 --> 02:13:57,360
actually all of them are tapping away at

3528
02:14:00,530 --> 02:13:59,219
screens there even though the crew's not

3529
02:14:03,290 --> 02:14:00,540
right now they're waiting for the

3530
02:14:04,790 --> 02:14:03,300
closeout crew to finish up and the F9

3531
02:14:06,950 --> 02:14:04,800
team is doing most of the work what they

3532
02:14:09,290 --> 02:14:06,960
are doing is kind of walking through all

3533
02:14:11,390 --> 02:14:09,300
the displays and cut we call it chair

3534
02:14:12,589 --> 02:14:11,400
flying going through the sequences and

3535
02:14:14,330 --> 02:14:12,599
actually kind of talking through some

3536
02:14:15,890 --> 02:14:14,340
off-nominal events as well and so

3537
02:14:18,350 --> 02:14:15,900
they're using all this as rehearsal time

3538
02:14:19,609 --> 02:14:18,360
because now that's the actual day of

3539
02:14:20,990 --> 02:14:19,619
there's different things that will be

3540
02:14:23,390 --> 02:14:21,000
specific to the weather in terms of what

3541
02:14:24,350 --> 02:14:23,400
egress set you might go to and we

3542
02:14:25,669 --> 02:14:24,360
mentioned before like what's the

3543
02:14:27,290 --> 02:14:25,679
Commander's job is kind of like the

3544
02:14:28,729 --> 02:14:27,300
coach and talking about like okay if

3545
02:14:29,870 --> 02:14:28,739
this happens remember and I don't know

3546
02:14:32,089 --> 02:14:29,880
what their sequence is but like okay

3547
02:14:33,109 --> 02:14:32,099
Sultan you're doing this Andre you're

3548
02:14:35,629 --> 02:14:33,119
doing this and you're kind of just

3549
02:14:37,609 --> 02:14:35,639
walking through those and mentally uh

3550
02:14:39,109 --> 02:14:37,619
talking through all of them and then

3551
02:14:41,270 --> 02:14:39,119
what Woody and Steve are probably doing

3552
02:14:42,830 --> 02:14:41,280
on their iPads is going through the

3553
02:14:44,209 --> 02:14:42,840
displays they're going to see for the

3554
02:14:45,470 --> 02:14:44,219
different phases of the launch the

3555
02:14:48,169 --> 02:14:45,480
different stages so they have a

3556
02:14:50,450 --> 02:14:48,179
basically a preview mode on there and

3557
02:14:52,430 --> 02:14:50,460
they can talk through okay at you know

3558
02:14:53,689 --> 02:14:52,440
stage 1A this is I'm going to make that

3559
02:14:55,010 --> 02:14:53,699
call this is what we're looking for

3560
02:14:56,569 --> 02:14:55,020
remember we're looking at the altitude

3561
02:14:58,490 --> 02:14:56,579
tape so they're basically mentally

3562
02:15:00,550 --> 02:14:58,500
walking through all the phases because

3563
02:15:02,629 --> 02:15:00,560
once it happens once the rocket lights

3564
02:15:04,370 --> 02:15:02,639
exactly from the time it lights to

3565
02:15:06,350 --> 02:15:04,380
orbits like eight to nine minutes so you

3566
02:15:08,390 --> 02:15:06,360
can't it's not it's too late to talk

3567
02:15:10,729 --> 02:15:08,400
about it then so you're using all this

3568
02:15:13,250 --> 02:15:10,739
time to go through all those sequences

3569
02:15:15,470 --> 02:15:13,260
and talk about okay what if we have to

3570
02:15:16,910 --> 02:15:15,480
you know what up the cage of a stage 2D

3571
02:15:18,229 --> 02:15:16,920
abort and what are we going to do and

3572
02:15:19,910 --> 02:15:18,239
all the different what ifs because

3573
02:15:21,109 --> 02:15:19,920
there's different decision paths in each

3574
02:15:22,310 --> 02:15:21,119
of those procedures and you're sort of

3575
02:15:24,050 --> 02:15:22,320
walking through like okay if we go down

3576
02:15:25,550 --> 02:15:24,060
this path uh remember you know here's

3577
02:15:27,530 --> 02:15:25,560
the things to remember so it's just a

3578
02:15:29,689 --> 02:15:27,540
one last training session if you will

3579
02:15:31,250 --> 02:15:29,699
seems like a lot doing these mental reps

3580
02:15:33,050 --> 02:15:31,260
and going through but that that really

3581
02:15:35,569 --> 02:15:33,060
greases you exactly and that's why then

3582
02:15:36,890 --> 02:15:35,579
it becomes just uh you know kind of

3583
02:15:39,950 --> 02:15:36,900
muscle memory when you're actually in

3584
02:15:46,370 --> 02:15:42,589
all right we have another question

3585
02:15:49,069 --> 02:15:46,380
joab MSM asks what does an astronaut do

3586
02:15:50,450 --> 02:15:49,079
for NASA while they are not in space I'm

3587
02:15:52,129 --> 02:15:50,460
glad you asked that because that's one

3588
02:15:53,689 --> 02:15:52,139
of my but one of the things I try to

3589
02:15:55,609 --> 02:15:53,699
harp on the most when I do public

3590
02:15:57,169 --> 02:15:55,619
affairs events is most of our job is not

3591
02:15:59,569 --> 02:15:57,179
flying in space of course we all love to

3592
02:16:01,729 --> 02:15:59,579
fly in space but for example Tom

3593
02:16:03,890 --> 02:16:01,739
marshburn who is my pilot on crew 3 he

3594
02:16:04,970 --> 02:16:03,900
was in the office for 28 years and spent

3595
02:16:07,609 --> 02:16:04,980
you know about a year and a half in

3596
02:16:09,410 --> 02:16:07,619
space but that's not much time compared

3597
02:16:11,390 --> 02:16:09,420
to the 28 years in the office so most of

3598
02:16:13,069 --> 02:16:11,400
our job is all the development and

3599
02:16:14,270 --> 02:16:13,079
engineering and science work for all the

3600
02:16:17,209 --> 02:16:14,280
programs that are going on so right now

3601
02:16:18,770 --> 02:16:17,219
Artemis is what we're all working on so

3602
02:16:21,589 --> 02:16:18,780
there's the SLS rocket there's the

3603
02:16:22,970 --> 02:16:21,599
Gateway lunar habitat there's the hls

3604
02:16:24,410 --> 02:16:22,980
which is the human Landing system that's

3605
02:16:26,569 --> 02:16:24,420
the lunar lander that's what you're

3606
02:16:28,729 --> 02:16:26,579
that's what I'm working on there's the

3607
02:16:30,589 --> 02:16:28,739
Orion capsule so all of us are working

3608
02:16:32,450 --> 02:16:30,599
on these different programs helping with

3609
02:16:34,129 --> 02:16:32,460
the the development of them and then we

3610
02:16:36,230 --> 02:16:34,139
also have all kinds of other jobs just

3611
02:16:37,849 --> 02:16:36,240
to keep the office going so we have uh

3612
02:16:39,349 --> 02:16:37,859
you met you saw a reed who was the

3613
02:16:41,750 --> 02:16:39,359
former Chief of the office Joe is now

3614
02:16:43,730 --> 02:16:41,760
the chief so that's that's a job you've

3615
02:16:45,230 --> 02:16:43,740
got Branch Chiefs who are are running

3616
02:16:46,790 --> 02:16:45,240
all the different Personnel in the

3617
02:16:48,530 --> 02:16:46,800
office so these are all you know all

3618
02:16:50,270 --> 02:16:48,540
those jobs are what we do when we're not

3619
02:16:52,009 --> 02:16:50,280
flying in space but we still maintain a

3620
02:16:53,870 --> 02:16:52,019
currency so you're doing a job but

3621
02:16:56,150 --> 02:16:53,880
you're still flying the 238 you're still

3622
02:16:57,290 --> 02:16:56,160
doing NBL runs the neutral buoyancy

3623
02:16:59,209 --> 02:16:57,300
which is where we practice our space

3624
02:17:01,250 --> 02:16:59,219
walks you're still doing biology

3625
02:17:03,349 --> 02:17:01,260
training geology training you're doing

3626
02:17:04,669 --> 02:17:03,359
all these things ISS training at a

3627
02:17:06,589 --> 02:17:04,679
currency level and then once you're

3628
02:17:09,349 --> 02:17:06,599
assigned you stop doing your technical

3629
02:17:10,730 --> 02:17:09,359
job and worked solely on preparing for

3630
02:17:13,549 --> 02:17:10,740
the launch vehicle on that particular

3631
02:17:15,410 --> 02:17:13,559
Expedition on the space station

3632
02:17:17,209 --> 02:17:15,420
and I know you've been busy too because

3633
02:17:19,250 --> 02:17:17,219
even in your time helping us with the

3634
02:17:20,629 --> 02:17:19,260
broadcast we're greatly appreciative of

3635
02:17:22,610 --> 02:17:20,639
you being here you've been busy like

3636
02:17:24,410 --> 02:17:22,620
you're on your laptop you know finishing

3637
02:17:26,690 --> 02:17:24,420
up some work and stuff so we really

3638
02:17:28,129 --> 02:17:26,700
appreciate you taking the time I think

3639
02:17:30,530 --> 02:17:28,139
that's why we all we all love our jobs

3640
02:17:32,870 --> 02:17:30,540
yes it's fun all right let's check in

3641
02:17:34,250 --> 02:17:32,880
now go back to Houston Texas with uh

3642
02:17:37,490 --> 02:17:34,260
Courtney Beasley what's happening in

3643
02:17:41,629 --> 02:17:39,770
thanks Daryl the flight controllers here

3644
02:17:44,089 --> 02:17:41,639
in Mission Control Houston are laser

3645
02:17:45,950 --> 02:17:44,099
focused on the onboard systems of the

3646
02:17:48,169 --> 02:17:45,960
space station ensuring it is ready to

3647
02:17:50,270 --> 02:17:48,179
receive crew Dragon they're also making

3648
02:17:52,490 --> 02:17:50,280
sure all communication links between the

3649
02:17:54,770 --> 02:17:52,500
station dragon and the ground are

3650
02:17:56,629 --> 02:17:54,780
working properly the consensus to this

3651
02:17:58,849 --> 02:17:56,639
point is that everything is proceeding

3652
02:18:00,830 --> 02:17:58,859
right on track teams here in Mission

3653
02:18:02,450 --> 02:18:00,840
Control Houston the team in Hawthorne

3654
02:18:03,950 --> 02:18:02,460
and the astronauts aboard the space

3655
02:18:05,709 --> 02:18:03,960
station will monitor the autonomous

3656
02:18:08,209 --> 02:18:05,719
docking of the spacecraft tomorrow

3657
02:18:10,370 --> 02:18:08,219
they'll perform a series of leak checks

3658
02:18:12,589 --> 02:18:10,380
then work to open the hatches on the

3659
02:18:14,690 --> 02:18:12,599
dragon side and inside the station's

3660
02:18:16,849 --> 02:18:14,700
pressurized mating adapter we expect

3661
02:18:19,190 --> 02:18:16,859
hatch opening to take place about an

3662
02:18:20,690 --> 02:18:19,200
hour and a half after docking once on

3663
02:18:22,370 --> 02:18:20,700
board the astronauts will be greeted by

3664
02:18:24,469 --> 02:18:22,380
the space station crew and will then

3665
02:18:26,929 --> 02:18:24,479
join in for welcoming remarks for the

3666
02:18:29,089 --> 02:18:26,939
new crew members from there on out they

3667
02:18:31,370 --> 02:18:29,099
will no longer be referred to as Cruise

3668
02:18:33,349 --> 02:18:31,380
6 but rather as flight Engineers of the

3669
02:18:35,509 --> 02:18:33,359
International Space Station until their

3670
02:18:38,209 --> 02:18:35,519
return back to Earth here in Mission

3671
02:18:40,669 --> 02:18:38,219
Control Houston flight director Chris is

3672
02:18:42,709 --> 02:18:40,679
now on Console overseeing the team for

3673
02:18:44,870 --> 02:18:42,719
launch and that's it for Mission Control

3674
02:18:49,910 --> 02:18:44,880
Houston for now so I'll toss it back to

3675
02:18:54,889 --> 02:18:52,549
these commercial crew program it was

3676
02:18:57,169 --> 02:18:54,899
created in 2011 and has been flying

3677
02:18:58,790 --> 02:18:57,179
astronauts from American soil to the

3678
02:19:01,669 --> 02:18:58,800
International Space Station for the last

3679
02:19:03,709 --> 02:19:01,679
two years let's bring in NASA's Jasmine

3680
02:19:06,349 --> 02:19:03,719

Janet I know that you're one of your

3688
02:19:22,190 --> 02:19:20,160
catchphrases is embrace the challenge so

3689
02:19:24,049 --> 02:19:22,200
talk to us about how the workforce has

3690
02:19:25,549 --> 02:19:24,059
done that here at Kennedy to return to

3691
02:19:28,129 --> 02:19:25,559
human space flight in just the past few

3692
02:19:29,990 --> 02:19:28,139
years yeah you're exactly right I do

3693
02:19:32,270 --> 02:19:30,000
like to say Embrace a challenge and I

3694
02:19:33,650 --> 02:19:32,280
would tell you the Kennedy Workforce has

3695
02:19:35,990 --> 02:19:33,660
really embraced the challenge you know

3696
02:19:38,450 --> 02:19:36,000
if I start with last year we are

3697
02:19:40,549 --> 02:19:38,460
celebrating our 60th anniversary we

3698
02:19:43,610 --> 02:19:40,559
ended the year with that very historic

3699
02:19:45,950 --> 02:19:43,620
uh Artemis One mission and we were

3700
02:19:47,629 --> 02:19:45,960
established 60 years ago all for all

3701
02:19:49,250 --> 02:19:47,639
about the Apollo missions and going back

3702
02:19:51,469 --> 02:19:49,260
to the moon so Artemis we're going back

3703
02:19:54,170 --> 02:19:51,479
to the Moon more sustainable way and

3704
02:19:56,690 --> 02:19:54,180
here we are and we are going to be with

3705
02:19:59,630 --> 02:19:56,700
our six SpaceX operational Mission crew

3706
02:20:01,550 --> 02:19:59,640
six tonight so the whole transformation

3707
02:20:04,010 --> 02:20:01,560
of the center from that just government

3708
02:20:07,190 --> 02:20:04,020
only focus Center to what we are today

3709
02:20:09,889 --> 02:20:07,200
we have a very vibrant space ecosystem

3710
02:20:11,510 --> 02:20:09,899
out here more multitude of commercial

3711
02:20:14,510 --> 02:20:11,520
companies as well as our government

3712
02:20:17,690 --> 02:20:14,520
programs working so we have embraced a

3713
02:20:20,389 --> 02:20:17,700
challenge of transforming to be the 21st

3714
02:20:22,429 --> 02:20:20,399
century Spaceport exactly and Janet I'm

3715
02:20:24,230 --> 02:20:22,439
glad you used that word Spaceport Kelvin

3716
02:20:25,849 --> 02:20:24,240
question for you it's no longer just

3717
02:20:27,410 --> 02:20:25,859
NASA out here we're working with a lot

3718
02:20:29,270 --> 02:20:27,420
of our industry Partners so how is

3719
02:20:31,130 --> 02:20:29,280
Kennedy supporting them

3720
02:20:33,830 --> 02:20:31,140
well we're supporting them in many ways

3721
02:20:40,330 --> 02:20:33,840
Jasmine it's interesting because we have

3722
02:20:46,790 --> 02:20:43,429
discover Discovery for all and the

3723
02:20:50,750 --> 02:20:46,800
mission is to provide continuous access

3724
02:20:53,330 --> 02:20:50,760
to space from Earth's Premier Spaceport

3725
02:20:55,969 --> 02:20:53,340
right here through creativity and

3726
02:20:58,849 --> 02:20:55,979
Innovation so you see all that come into

3727
02:21:02,570 --> 02:20:58,859
fruition here through our vision and

3728
02:21:04,550 --> 02:21:02,580
it's the government industry as well as

3729
02:21:05,990 --> 02:21:04,560
our International partners that is

3730
02:21:08,030 --> 02:21:06,000
Kelvin thank you so much for sharing

3731
02:21:09,950 --> 02:21:08,040

launching at the end of Black History

3733
02:21:12,770 --> 02:21:11,280
Month we know that Kennedy has been

3734
02:21:14,389 --> 02:21:12,780
doing a lot to celebrate that as well as

3735
02:21:17,830 --> 02:21:14,399
the agency can you both tell us about

3736
02:21:20,570 --> 02:21:17,840
that yeah so we've had a number of

3737
02:21:22,910 --> 02:21:20,580
events around we are one of our employee

3738
02:21:25,250 --> 02:21:22,920
resource groups is the um black

3739
02:21:28,070 --> 02:21:25,260
engineering strategy team best that's

3740
02:21:30,830 --> 02:21:28,080
our African but really all of our ergs

3741
02:21:33,349 --> 02:21:30,840
here really promote our core value of

3742
02:21:36,469 --> 02:21:33,359
inclusion that we have here at Nasa

3743
02:21:38,690 --> 02:21:36,479
we're so proud of all the ergs numerous

3744
02:21:40,429 --> 02:21:38,700

02:21:44,150 --> 02:21:40,439
month of February celebrating that

3746
02:21:45,950 --> 02:21:44,160
exactly to add anything oh sure so by

3747
02:21:48,950 --> 02:21:45,960
the way Calvin's our champion for best

3748
02:21:51,830 --> 02:21:48,960
oh executive executive Champion

um that's correct and um through

3750
02:21:56,090 --> 02:21:54,479
diversity diversity gives us Innovation

3751
02:21:57,950 --> 02:21:56,100
you know people with different

3752
02:22:00,230 --> 02:21:57,960
backgrounds different thoughts we want

3753
02:22:02,809 --> 02:22:00,240
to be inclusive like Janet said and

3754
02:22:04,849 --> 02:22:02,819
through diversity we get that Innovation

3755
02:22:07,190 --> 02:22:04,859
that helps us solve the agency's

3756
02:22:09,290 --> 02:22:07,200
challenges and we've got a lot in front

3757
02:22:11,630 --> 02:22:09,300
of us to return to the moon and on to

3758
02:22:14,510 --> 02:22:11,640
Mars exactly and one last question at

3759
02:22:16,610 --> 02:22:14,520
last year we had 57 launches from Cape

3760
02:22:18,590 --> 02:22:16,620
Canaveral this year we're slated to have

3761
02:22:21,170 --> 02:22:18,600
over 90. what do you think of that Fury

3762
02:22:22,849 --> 02:22:21,180
of launches coming for us Janet it

3763
02:22:26,450 --> 02:22:22,859
really is amazing you know the year

3764
02:22:28,210 --> 02:22:26,460
before last it was 31 57 94. we're going

3765
02:22:33,110 --> 02:22:28,220
to be well over 100 in a couple years

3766
02:22:34,490 --> 02:22:33,120
and all of uh across the center requires

3767
02:22:36,170 --> 02:22:34,500
the support for every single launch

3768
02:22:37,990 --> 02:22:36,180
whether it's on our property or if it's

3769
02:22:40,070 --> 02:22:38,000
on the space force property together

3770
02:22:42,050 --> 02:22:40,080
Kelvin talked a little bit about those

3771
02:22:43,730 --> 02:22:42,060
Partnerships we work together to make

3772
02:22:45,830 --> 02:22:43,740
all the those launch is successful

3773
02:22:47,270 --> 02:22:45,840
whether it's commercial whether it's a

3774
02:22:49,670 --> 02:22:47,280
government launch a national security

3775
02:22:51,530 --> 02:22:49,680
Mission we all work together for that so

3776
02:22:54,290 --> 02:22:51,540
we're busy busy busy you know I thought

3777
02:22:56,210 --> 02:22:54,300
we were really busy for Artemis at the

3778
02:22:59,469 --> 02:22:56,220
end and 57 launches this year we're even

3779
02:23:02,090 --> 02:22:59,479
going to be more busy if you will

3780
02:23:03,830 --> 02:23:02,100
supporting all those launches but we are

3781
02:23:06,170 --> 02:23:03,840
we are incredibly proud of what we have

3782
02:23:07,910 --> 02:23:06,180
accomplished at the Spaceport couldn't

3783
02:23:11,270 --> 02:23:07,920
have imagined it 10 years ago that we

3784
02:23:13,309 --> 02:23:11,280
would be at a nearly 100 launches in the

3785
02:23:15,290 --> 02:23:13,319
decade from the last shuttle launch so

3786
02:23:17,450 --> 02:23:15,300
incredibly proud of the entire Kennedy

3787
02:23:19,490 --> 02:23:17,460
Workforce exactly busy is the right word

3788
02:23:21,050 --> 02:23:19,500
Kelvin anything last to add sure and the

3789
02:23:23,270 --> 02:23:21,060
cool part is we have commercial Partners

3790
02:23:25,010 --> 02:23:23,280
out here that haven't launched yet so we

3791
02:23:27,410 --> 02:23:25,020
tell people we're just getting started

3792
02:23:28,550 --> 02:23:27,420
so it's very exciting right now that is

3793
02:23:30,290 --> 02:23:28,560
perfect we really are just getting

3794
02:23:31,790 --> 02:23:30,300
started here at Kennedy always great to

3795
02:23:34,010 --> 02:23:31,800
have both of you here tonight thank you

3796
02:23:36,230 --> 02:23:34,020
Jasmine of course thank you Daryl back

3797
02:23:37,730 --> 02:23:36,240
to you thank you Jasmine and if you're

3798
02:23:39,469 --> 02:23:37,740
just joining us now welcome to the

3799
02:23:41,929 --> 02:23:39,479
Kennedy Space Center in Florida and

3800
02:23:43,610 --> 02:23:41,939
NASA's live coverage of the crew 6

3801
02:23:45,410 --> 02:23:43,620
launch to the International Space

3802
02:23:47,510 --> 02:23:45,420
Station I'm Daryl nail I'm joined by

3803
02:23:50,150 --> 02:23:47,520
rajachary a recent recent flyer on

3804
02:23:51,590 --> 02:23:50,160
Dragon crew 3 the commander glad to have

3805
02:23:53,389 --> 02:23:51,600
you here thanks Ed it's happy to be glad

3806
02:23:55,429 --> 02:23:53,399
to be here and that's uh getting close

3807
02:23:57,650 --> 02:23:55,439
to the Rockets looking good out there it

3808
02:24:00,050 --> 02:23:57,660
sure is we've run down through a few

3809
02:24:02,389 --> 02:24:00,060
Milestones already we've gotten to a

3810
02:24:04,490 --> 02:24:02,399
critical part where we are waiting now

3811
02:24:06,250 --> 02:24:04,500
the launch Escape system to be armed as

3812
02:24:08,809 --> 02:24:06,260
well as the fueling of the rocket

3813
02:24:10,730 --> 02:24:08,819
leading up until that point we've had

3814
02:24:12,530 --> 02:24:10,740
the crew go into the spacecraft that you

3815
02:24:14,570 --> 02:24:12,540
see right there they were helped by our

3816
02:24:17,389 --> 02:24:14,580
closeout team the umbilicals were

3817
02:24:19,730 --> 02:24:17,399
attached which provide breathing air and

3818
02:24:22,130 --> 02:24:19,740
Communications to the astronauts they

3819
02:24:24,830 --> 02:24:22,140
did their suit leak checks we saw them

3820
02:24:27,710 --> 02:24:24,840
pressurized and then depressed and then

3821
02:24:29,870 --> 02:24:27,720
the comms checks were completed with the

3822
02:24:31,790 --> 02:24:29,880
core the crew operations resource

3823
02:24:34,250 --> 02:24:31,800
engineer with SpaceX and the launch

3824
02:24:35,990 --> 02:24:34,260
director and now we are standing by for

3825
02:24:38,090 --> 02:24:36,000
those next big milestones and in the

3826
02:24:41,510 --> 02:24:38,100
meantime we've been taking your

3827
02:24:43,610 --> 02:24:41,520
questions from ask NASA

3828
02:24:47,809 --> 02:24:43,620
all of them from social media YouTube

3829
02:24:50,990 --> 02:24:47,819
twitch Twitter and uh Facebook

3830
02:24:53,150 --> 02:24:51,000
and we've got a question

3831
02:24:57,349 --> 02:24:53,160
coming up for us right now on the screen

3832
02:25:00,110 --> 02:24:57,359
for Raja and from twitch asks how long

3833
02:25:02,150 --> 02:25:00,120
will the crew stay on Space Station well

3834
02:25:04,070 --> 02:25:02,160
it varies but generally the Expeditions

3835
02:25:06,170 --> 02:25:04,080
are about four to six months it can

3836
02:25:07,849 --> 02:25:06,180
change a little bit uh depending on the

3837
02:25:09,349 --> 02:25:07,859
the traffic flow the the space station

3838
02:25:11,570 --> 02:25:09,359
is sort of like a giant bus terminal on

3839
02:25:13,670 --> 02:25:11,580
the sky with vehicles coming and going

3840
02:25:15,830 --> 02:25:13,680
um so yeah crew six planned about about

3841
02:25:17,389 --> 02:25:15,840
a six month stay when I was up there

3842
02:25:19,010 --> 02:25:17,399
mark Vande Hyde did a year-long mission

3843
02:25:20,809 --> 02:25:19,020
then Frank Rubio who's up there now will

3844
02:25:21,590 --> 02:25:20,819
also be about be about a year-long

3845
02:25:23,510 --> 02:25:21,600
mission

3846
02:25:25,130 --> 02:25:23,520
um so but and you know the reason we're

3847
02:25:27,650 --> 02:25:25,140
trying to go longer and learn out more

3848
02:25:29,210 --> 02:25:27,660
and learn more is as we go to the moon

3849
02:25:30,889 --> 02:25:29,220
and Mars to stay we really want to make

3850
02:25:33,349 --> 02:25:30,899
sure that we understand the effects of

3851
02:25:37,730 --> 02:25:33,359
the human body uh on long duration space

3852
02:25:41,030 --> 02:25:39,410
very good

3853
02:25:43,550 --> 02:25:41,040
another question

3854
02:25:45,590 --> 02:25:43,560
Mr Beast from YouTube asks

3855
02:25:48,530 --> 02:25:45,600
what will they be working on during

3856
02:25:50,210 --> 02:25:48,540
their six-month stay on the ISS also why

3857
02:25:52,790 --> 02:25:50,220
will NASA's coverage of the mission

3858
02:25:57,830 --> 02:25:52,800
switch to an audio only feed after

3859
02:26:00,349 --> 02:25:57,840
Ascent well I can help out with the um

3860
02:26:01,969 --> 02:26:00,359
with the audio only feed but you want to

3861
02:26:03,770 --> 02:26:01,979
answer about the what they're going to

3862
02:26:06,230 --> 02:26:03,780
be working on sure so uh the the big

3863
02:26:08,809 --> 02:26:06,240
answer is science and so the the ISS is

3864
02:26:10,730 --> 02:26:08,819
a National Laboratory in the sky

3865
02:26:13,130 --> 02:26:10,740
um and it's specifically we do research

3866
02:26:14,809 --> 02:26:13,140
that can only be done in microgravity

3867
02:26:15,650 --> 02:26:14,819
um you heard Kurt uh Dr Kurt talk a

3868
02:26:17,750 --> 02:26:15,660
little bit earlier about some of the

3869
02:26:21,050 --> 02:26:17,760
some things specific to their their

3870
02:26:22,790 --> 02:26:21,060
increment have to do with some tissue uh

3871
02:26:24,410 --> 02:26:22,800
chip research they're going to do some

3872
02:26:25,370 --> 02:26:24,420
swabs on the outside of the space

3873
02:26:28,250 --> 02:26:25,380
station which is the first time we're

3874
02:26:30,469 --> 02:26:28,260
gonna have done that to see if microbes

3875
02:26:32,270 --> 02:26:30,479
from our human body so we bring along as

3876
02:26:34,670 --> 02:26:32,280
humans this whole you know all this

3877
02:26:36,710 --> 02:26:34,680
stuff that comes off of us and we're one

3878
02:26:38,570 --> 02:26:36,720
curiosity is from a planetary protection

3879
02:26:40,130 --> 02:26:38,580
standpoint is whether we would be

3880
02:26:41,990 --> 02:26:40,140
contaminating the outside of the space

3881
02:26:43,849 --> 02:26:42,000
station and what implications that has

3882
02:26:45,770 --> 02:26:43,859
for the moon and Mars they're going to

3883
02:26:48,050 --> 02:26:45,780
be doing some more plant research so I

3884
02:26:50,150 --> 02:26:48,060
would say you know we are we understand

3885
02:26:52,010 --> 02:26:50,160
how to grow plants in place but it takes

3886
02:26:53,870 --> 02:26:52,020
a lot of crew time to do it so kind of

3887
02:26:55,309 --> 02:26:53,880
the next step is how to do that

3888
02:26:56,990 --> 02:26:55,319
um with better what we call regolith

3889
02:26:58,370 --> 02:26:57,000
stimulants which is like basically dirt

3890
02:27:00,050 --> 02:26:58,380
because you just can't have normal dirt

3891
02:27:02,450 --> 02:27:00,060
and space it floats away so you need to

3892
02:27:04,610 --> 02:27:02,460
figure out some way to have a root

3893
02:27:06,170 --> 02:27:04,620
system uh and and so that's where kind

3894
02:27:07,010 --> 02:27:06,180
of the research for plant technology is

3895
02:27:08,809 --> 02:27:07,020
at right now so they're going to be

3896
02:27:10,730 --> 02:27:08,819
involved in all that but but all told in

3897
02:27:12,349 --> 02:27:10,740
a normal you know six month increment

3898
02:27:14,210 --> 02:27:12,359
they're probably going to do upwards of

3899
02:27:17,030 --> 02:27:14,220
300 different science experiments which

3900
02:27:19,610 --> 02:27:17,040
is just an incredible number over two a

3901
02:27:21,710 --> 02:27:19,620
day and then all the the work to to

3902
02:27:23,870 --> 02:27:21,720
support those science experiments that's

3903
02:27:26,270 --> 02:27:23,880
an incredible amount of science that's

3904
02:27:27,770 --> 02:27:26,280
going to be done now with regards to the

3905
02:27:30,290 --> 02:27:27,780
second part of that question why will

3906
02:27:32,450 --> 02:27:30,300
NASA's coverage of the mission switch to

3907
02:27:34,250 --> 02:27:32,460
an audio only feed after a cent now

3908
02:27:37,130 --> 02:27:34,260
traditionally we've done video the

3909
02:27:40,190 --> 02:27:37,140
entire time but uh that is correct we're

3910
02:27:41,809 --> 02:27:40,200
going to switch to audio only after the

3911
02:27:44,210 --> 02:27:41,819
ascent portion of the flight and that's

3912
02:27:47,929 --> 02:27:44,220
because the length of the cruise transit

3913
02:27:50,090 --> 02:27:47,939
to the station which is 24.8 hours we

3914
02:27:52,010 --> 02:27:50,100
elected to maintain commentary on

3915
02:27:54,469 --> 02:27:52,020
Mission audio circuits during the

3916
02:27:57,230 --> 02:27:54,479
lengthy period of non-activity and while

3917
02:28:00,050 --> 02:27:57,240
the dragon crew is asleep so we are

3918
02:28:02,630 --> 02:28:00,060
continuing coverage Non-Stop and will

3919
02:28:04,849 --> 02:28:02,640
resume NASA TV coverage on Monday night

3920
02:28:07,670 --> 02:28:04,859
prior to the start of critical

3921
02:28:10,010 --> 02:28:07,680
Rendezvous operations but in the time in

3922
02:28:11,630 --> 02:28:10,020
between we're going to allow you to hear

3923
02:28:14,330 --> 02:28:11,640
the mission audio that critical

3924
02:28:16,370 --> 02:28:14,340
communication between the ground and

3925
02:28:18,290 --> 02:28:16,380
dragon if there is any we'll keep that

3926
02:28:24,410 --> 02:28:18,300
up live but we won't have a commentator

3927
02:28:27,770 --> 02:28:26,389
and now we are getting close to one hour

3928
02:28:30,290 --> 02:28:27,780
until liftoff

3929
02:28:32,450 --> 02:28:30,300
this day is the continuation of regular

3930
02:28:35,210 --> 02:28:32,460
crew flights to the space station from

3931
02:28:37,429 --> 02:28:35,220
U.S soil T-minus one hour and two

3932
02:28:39,830 --> 02:28:37,439
minutes and Counting

3933
02:28:42,889 --> 02:28:39,840
until spacex's crew 6 Mission which will

3934
02:28:45,230 --> 02:28:42,899
be the company's six crude space flight

3935
02:28:47,990 --> 02:28:45,240
for NASA following the crude test flight

3936
02:28:50,570 --> 02:28:48,000
of demo 2 and four previous operational

3937
02:28:52,849 --> 02:28:50,580
crude missions to the space station it

3938
02:28:55,429 --> 02:28:52,859
will also be spacex's eighth crude space

3939
02:28:58,730 --> 02:28:55,439
flight overall and that includes the

3940
02:28:59,929 --> 02:28:58,740
private missions inspiration 4 and Axiom

3941
02:29:02,389 --> 02:28:59,939
one

3942
02:29:05,150 --> 02:29:02,399
which visited Raja while he was on board

3943
02:29:07,610 --> 02:29:05,160
station today our crew is flying on

3944
02:29:09,770 --> 02:29:07,620
board Dragon Endeavor and it will be the

3945
02:29:11,450 --> 02:29:09,780
fourth flight for this capsule and it

3946
02:29:13,849 --> 02:29:11,460
will be taking a ride

3947
02:29:15,830 --> 02:29:13,859
on a brand new Falcon 9 rocket that you

3948
02:29:18,830 --> 02:29:15,840
see below it

3949
02:29:20,870 --> 02:29:18,840
we've had a great countdown so far we

3950
02:29:24,410 --> 02:29:20,880
just got a report on the weather

3951
02:29:27,110 --> 02:29:24,420
and it's just spectacular out there both

3952
02:29:28,910 --> 02:29:27,120
at the pad and then the corridor weather

3953
02:29:32,090 --> 02:29:28,920
also looks great according to our

3954
02:29:37,309 --> 02:29:34,309
so they're doing some final pad wind

3955
02:29:39,230 --> 02:29:37,319
evaluations and it's all coming together

3956
02:29:42,469 --> 02:29:39,240
releasing some balloons getting those

3957
02:29:44,389 --> 02:29:42,479
final wind data in the upper parts of

3958
02:29:45,530 --> 02:29:44,399
the atmosphere and uh so far

3959
02:29:47,469 --> 02:29:45,540
everything's looking good we're getting

3960
02:29:50,210 --> 02:29:47,479
a little bit of a breeze now

3961
02:29:59,150 --> 02:29:50,220
keeping the bugs isolation valves to

3962
02:30:01,610 --> 02:30:00,710
and so the reason they tell them so

3963
02:30:03,050 --> 02:30:01,620
there's nothing the crew's actually

3964
02:30:04,849 --> 02:30:03,060
doing for that particular call but they

3965
02:30:06,050 --> 02:30:04,859
let the crew know a lot of those valve

3966
02:30:07,550 --> 02:30:06,060
openings and closings but you can

3967
02:30:10,070 --> 02:30:07,560
actually hear it and feel it inside the

3968
02:30:11,690 --> 02:30:10,080
vehicle you can hear the funk or the

3969
02:30:13,070 --> 02:30:11,700
clunk and so it's good to know that's

3970
02:30:14,330 --> 02:30:13,080
about to happen so you don't just hear

3971
02:30:16,849 --> 02:30:14,340
something happening in your vehicle

3972
02:30:19,190 --> 02:30:16,859
without uh otherwise a bit discomforting

3973
02:30:20,389 --> 02:30:19,200
to hear a big metal clunk without

3974
02:30:22,429 --> 02:30:20,399
knowing if that's supposed to happen or

3975
02:30:26,389 --> 02:30:22,439
not it's a good heads up by SpaceX let

3976
02:30:30,530 --> 02:30:28,429
so with about an hour to go until

3977
02:30:32,389 --> 02:30:30,540
liftoff things are really going to start

3978
02:30:35,750 --> 02:30:32,399
picking up as you've already noticed

3979
02:30:37,910 --> 02:30:35,760
we'll get close to the go no-go poll to

3980
02:30:40,370 --> 02:30:37,920
arm the launch Escape system and then of

3981
02:30:42,710 --> 02:30:40,380
course begin the propellant loading

3982
02:30:44,389 --> 02:30:42,720
the crew Poll for Readiness happens at T

3983
02:30:47,090 --> 02:30:44,399
minus 60 Minutes in just a few seconds

3984
02:30:50,690 --> 02:30:47,100
and then the dragon pole for prop load

3985
02:30:52,490 --> 02:30:50,700
is at T minus 55 minutes from there at T

3986
02:30:54,590 --> 02:30:52,500
minus 45 minutes there will be an

3987
02:30:56,929 --> 02:30:54,600
internal Mission Control Hawthorne pole

3988
02:30:59,270 --> 02:30:56,939
and then the launch director's Poll for

3989
02:31:01,630 --> 02:30:59,280
propellant loading and then we get to

3990
02:31:04,429 --> 02:31:01,640
about T minus 40 minutes

3991
02:31:09,050 --> 02:31:04,439
go for Section Five of four decimal 100

3992
02:31:12,889 --> 02:31:11,150
and there's the T minus six okay we copy

3993
02:31:15,110 --> 02:31:12,899
we're picking me up in five decibel one

3994
02:31:16,429 --> 02:31:15,120
of four decimal 100.

3995
02:31:17,990 --> 02:31:16,439
so that's that four decimal 100

3996
02:31:19,670 --> 02:31:18,000
procedure we were talking about earlier

3997
02:31:20,750 --> 02:31:19,680
so they're still in that and then

3998
02:31:22,730 --> 02:31:20,760
there's different sections like we

3999
02:31:24,950 --> 02:31:22,740
described so this particular section is

4000
02:31:26,809 --> 02:31:24,960
preparation for Les arming or the launch

4001
02:31:28,550 --> 02:31:26,819
Escape system arming and so what they're

4002
02:31:30,170 --> 02:31:28,560
doing inside the capsule now is one one

4003
02:31:32,630 --> 02:31:30,180
last check making sure they're fully

4004
02:31:33,889 --> 02:31:32,640
restrained there's new no loose items

4005
02:31:35,929 --> 02:31:33,899
um they may have had their feet out of

4006
02:31:37,550 --> 02:31:35,939
the feet the boot restraints uh just to

4007
02:31:38,389 --> 02:31:37,560
relax and stretch out their legs but at

4008
02:31:40,490 --> 02:31:38,399
this point they're going to be putting

4009
02:31:42,230 --> 02:31:40,500
them all in and the reason is uh once

4010
02:31:44,090 --> 02:31:42,240
the launch Escape system is is hot it's

4011
02:31:45,950 --> 02:31:44,100
just like an ejection seat the the whole

4012
02:31:47,929 --> 02:31:45,960
thing can fire and so you want to be

4013
02:31:51,530 --> 02:31:47,939
fully restrained fully in a position

4014
02:31:53,330 --> 02:31:51,540
where if it did uh uh basically pop the

4015
02:31:55,730 --> 02:31:53,340
capsule off that you're not going to get

4016
02:31:56,990 --> 02:31:55,740
injured doing that and it's armed prior

4017
02:31:58,490 --> 02:31:57,000
to launch because as soon as we start

4018
02:32:00,830 --> 02:31:58,500
putting propellant in the dragon you

4019
02:32:03,290 --> 02:32:00,840
want the ability to basically

4020
02:32:05,210 --> 02:32:03,300
um have that system active and when we

4021
02:32:07,309 --> 02:32:05,220
get to about T minus 40 minutes the crew

4022
02:32:08,450 --> 02:32:07,319
access arm will retract and the crew

4023
02:32:10,070 --> 02:32:08,460
will get the call to close their

4024
02:32:11,090 --> 02:32:10,080
advisors and to arm the launch Escape

4025
02:32:14,990 --> 02:32:11,100
system

4026
02:32:17,150 --> 02:32:15,000
place that can fire the eight super

4027
02:32:19,730 --> 02:32:17,160
Draco thrusters on Dragon to quickly

4028
02:32:22,070 --> 02:32:19,740
separate the crew from the rocket either

4029
02:32:23,990 --> 02:32:22,080
on the pad or during flight on the ride

4030
02:32:26,330 --> 02:32:24,000
uphill and then once we reach about T

4031
02:32:37,370 --> 02:32:26,340
minus 35 minutes propellant loading for

4032
02:32:44,150 --> 02:32:40,610
and SpaceX Dragon uh we are go for

4033
02:32:44,160 --> 02:32:50,330
SpaceX copies Crews go

4034
02:32:54,650 --> 02:32:52,550
there you heard the go and thanks for

4035
02:32:57,469 --> 02:32:54,660
tuning in if you're watching live launch

4036
02:33:00,230 --> 02:32:57,479
coverage of NASA and spacex's six

4037
02:33:02,270 --> 02:33:00,240
rotational flight of astronauts and one

4038
02:33:05,090 --> 02:33:02,280
Cosmonaut to the International Space

4039
02:33:07,550 --> 02:33:05,100
Station we are T-minus 58 minutes and

4040
02:33:10,490 --> 02:33:07,560
Counting until liftoff and with us today

4041
02:33:12,230 --> 02:33:10,500
is NASA astronaut rajachary the

4042
02:33:13,610 --> 02:33:12,240
commander from crew 3. thanks so much

4043
02:33:15,230 --> 02:33:13,620
for being here Bob Darrell and you just

4044
02:33:16,490 --> 02:33:15,240
heard Steve Bowen say their go for

4045
02:33:17,750 --> 02:33:16,500
launch which is a kind of a cool time

4046
02:33:19,910 --> 02:33:17,760
for definitely some fist bumps inside

4047
02:33:21,469 --> 02:33:19,920
the capsule at that point that's the

4048
02:33:23,690 --> 02:33:21,479
crew saying we are go for the next few

4049
02:33:26,030 --> 02:33:23,700
steps of go for propellant loading Les

4050
02:33:27,950 --> 02:33:26,040
arming and go for launch and so that's

4051
02:33:29,750 --> 02:33:27,960
uh that is their vote and you heard them

4052
02:33:32,210 --> 02:33:29,760
say they're ready good stuff inside the

4053
02:33:36,349 --> 02:33:32,220
capsule liftoff time is still holding

4054
02:33:38,750 --> 02:33:36,359
for 145 and three seconds a.m eastern

4055
02:33:40,910 --> 02:33:38,760
time and we're tracking no issues with

4056
02:33:42,950 --> 02:33:40,920
the Falcon 9 or dragon as Rosa just

4057
02:33:44,870 --> 02:33:42,960
mentioned got that beautiful shot from

4058
02:33:46,250 --> 02:33:44,880
the helicopter around the Vehicle

4059
02:33:48,730 --> 02:33:46,260
Assembly Building

4060
02:33:52,070 --> 02:33:48,740
no issues with the Falcon 9 or Dragon

4061
02:33:54,349 --> 02:33:52,080
the range is green and weather both here

4062
02:33:58,309 --> 02:33:54,359
at the pad and in the launch Corridor

4063
02:34:01,010 --> 02:33:58,319
the ascent Corridor is cooperating

4064
02:34:03,830 --> 02:34:01,020
now to take you back over the last three

4065
02:34:07,070 --> 02:34:03,840
hours our crew of Stephen Bowen Woody

4066
02:34:09,050 --> 02:34:07,080
hoberg Sultan onlyati and Andre fediev

4067
02:34:10,790 --> 02:34:09,060
have been getting ready to launch into

4068
02:34:12,710 --> 02:34:10,800
space and this is going back to cruise

4069
02:34:14,090 --> 02:34:12,720
suit up here they are in astronaut crew

4070
02:34:16,250 --> 02:34:14,100
quarters

4071
02:34:18,410 --> 02:34:16,260
after waking up and having a meal SpaceX

4072
02:34:22,130 --> 02:34:18,420
helped astronauts into their suits at

4073
02:34:24,230 --> 02:34:22,140
that historic crew quarter Suit Up Room

4074
02:34:26,389 --> 02:34:24,240
then the crew walked out on the same

4075
02:34:29,150 --> 02:34:26,399
path that every NASA astronaut has done

4076
02:34:31,910 --> 02:34:29,160
since Apollo 7 waving to family and

4077
02:34:33,710 --> 02:34:31,920
friends and loved ones

4078
02:34:35,870 --> 02:34:33,720
as well as the cameras that were there

4079
02:34:38,270 --> 02:34:35,880
to document their Journey after getting

4080
02:34:40,370 --> 02:34:38,280
inside their Teslas new ones colored

4081
02:34:42,290 --> 02:34:40,380
black they joined a caravan led by

4082
02:34:45,170 --> 02:34:42,300
Center Security on a 20-minute ride to

4083
02:34:46,490 --> 02:34:45,180
the launch complex 39a and following

4084
02:34:48,590 --> 02:34:46,500
their arrival to the pad you see them

4085
02:34:50,150 --> 02:34:48,600
doing the rocket recline looking up at

4086
02:34:52,070 --> 02:34:50,160
the rocket and then they went up the

4087
02:34:54,590 --> 02:34:52,080
tower and walked across this crew access

4088
02:34:57,770 --> 02:34:54,600
arm leading them to their spacecraft

4089
02:35:00,950 --> 02:34:57,780
making the Duck getting in the hatch and

4090
02:35:02,690 --> 02:35:00,960
climbing inside Dragon endeavor

4091
02:35:04,790 --> 02:35:02,700
then they got strapped in with the help

4092
02:35:08,150 --> 02:35:04,800
from the closeout crew

4093
02:35:10,190 --> 02:35:08,160
and now we are watching them live while

4094
02:35:11,570 --> 02:35:10,200
they await liftoff and we're here at the

4095
02:35:14,270 --> 02:35:11,580
host desk at the Kennedy Space Center

4096
02:35:15,889 --> 02:35:14,280
Raj and I have been counting it down as

4097
02:35:18,950 --> 02:35:15,899
we went along and he's been giving us

4098
02:35:20,870 --> 02:35:18,960
great insight into the whole process of

4099
02:35:22,309 --> 02:35:20,880
getting ready to launch on a mission

4100
02:35:23,929 --> 02:35:22,319
it's been really good it's been very

4101
02:35:25,130 --> 02:35:23,939
exciting to be here and to get to see a

4102
02:35:27,110 --> 02:35:25,140
rocket launch from the outside so

4103
02:35:28,670 --> 02:35:27,120
looking forward to it your first time as

4104
02:35:30,889 --> 02:35:28,680
a matter of fact and so we're interested

4105
02:35:32,630 --> 02:35:30,899
on hearing your reaction after that but

4106
02:35:34,429 --> 02:35:32,640
at this time we are expanding our

4107
02:35:37,130 --> 02:35:34,439
coverage and would like to welcome in

4108
02:35:39,590 --> 02:35:37,140
SpaceX and NASA commentators joining us

4109
02:35:42,590 --> 02:35:39,600
live from Hawthorne California welcome

4110
02:35:46,550 --> 02:35:44,690
all right thank you Daryl and hello to

4111
02:35:47,990 --> 02:35:46,560
all of our viewers I'm Gary Jordan with

4112
02:35:49,730 --> 02:35:48,000
NASA Communications

4113
02:35:52,670 --> 02:35:49,740
and I'm Jesse Anderson a production

4114
02:35:54,650 --> 02:35:52,680
engineering manager here at SpaceX Gary

4115
02:35:56,870 --> 02:35:54,660
and I are joining you today from our

4116
02:35:59,030 --> 02:35:56,880
headquarters in Hawthorne California and

4117
02:36:01,550 --> 02:35:59,040
it's definitely been a very busy evening

4118
02:36:03,349 --> 02:36:01,560
so far as we continue the countdown to

4119
02:36:06,469 --> 02:36:03,359
liftoff we'd like to welcome you to

4120
02:36:07,790 --> 02:36:06,479
SpaceX Mission Control in Hawthorne this

4121
02:36:09,410 --> 02:36:07,800
is where our teams are staffed around

4122
02:36:11,990 --> 02:36:09,420
the clock to monitor dragon and the

4123
02:36:14,150 --> 02:36:12,000
mission overall on Console or headset in

4124
02:36:16,309 --> 02:36:14,160
Mission Control are six key positions

4125
02:36:17,809 --> 02:36:16,319
the mission director is in charge of the

4126
02:36:20,389 --> 02:36:17,819
room and tasked with making real-time

4127
02:36:22,849 --> 02:36:20,399
decisions to ensure Mission success

4128
02:36:25,969 --> 02:36:22,859
the person that you may hear may have

4129
02:36:28,070 --> 02:36:25,979
heard talking to the astronauts is the

4130
02:36:30,050 --> 02:36:28,080
crew operations and resources engineer

4131
02:36:32,809 --> 02:36:30,060
who you'll hear us refer to as the core

4132
02:36:34,550 --> 02:36:32,819
threat broadcast and the four additional

4133
02:36:36,830 --> 02:36:34,560
team members are focused on Vehicle

4134
02:36:39,410 --> 02:36:36,840
Systems including avionics navigation

4135
02:36:41,210 --> 02:36:39,420
and Control software propulsion life

4136
02:36:43,429 --> 02:36:41,220
support and communication with ground

4137
02:36:45,410 --> 02:36:43,439
support teams now apart from Mission

4138
02:36:47,389 --> 02:36:45,420
Control our Falcon 9 team is currently

4139
02:36:49,670 --> 02:36:47,399
located in firing room

4140
02:36:51,650 --> 02:36:49,680
four in the launch control center at

4141
02:36:54,050 --> 02:36:51,660
Kennedy Space Center in Florida

4142
02:36:55,969 --> 02:36:54,060
with less than an hour until launch they

4143
02:36:58,550 --> 02:36:55,979
are settling in for final checkouts

4144
02:37:00,830 --> 02:36:58,560
propellant loading and for launch that's

4145
02:37:02,929 --> 02:37:00,840
right and NASA has its own team members

4146
02:37:04,790 --> 02:37:02,939
in Mission Control in Houston Texas

4147
02:37:07,070 --> 02:37:04,800
where they've been preparing the space

4148
02:37:09,110 --> 02:37:07,080
station for dragon's arrival and

4149
02:37:11,210 --> 02:37:09,120
recently gave their go for launch saying

4150
02:37:13,370 --> 02:37:11,220
that the station itself is ready to

4151
02:37:15,170 --> 02:37:13,380
receive the new crew upon liftoff

4152
02:37:17,570 --> 02:37:15,180
today's ride to the space station will

4153
02:37:19,730 --> 02:37:17,580
take about 25 hours with dragon flying

4154
02:37:21,230 --> 02:37:19,740
autonomously the entire way and just

4155
02:37:23,330 --> 02:37:21,240
like an autopilot on a commercial

4156
02:37:25,070 --> 02:37:23,340
aircraft the crew always has the ability

4157
02:37:26,870 --> 02:37:25,080
to take manual control of the spacecraft

4158
02:37:31,790 --> 02:37:26,880
if necessary

4159
02:37:34,429 --> 02:37:31,800
now at T minus 53 minutes and 38 seconds

4160
02:37:37,490 --> 02:37:34,439
to go we are looking good for an on-time

4161
02:37:39,290 --> 02:37:37,500
liftoff and our very own incredible Kate

4162
02:37:42,590 --> 02:37:39,300
size has been monitoring the progress of

4163
02:37:44,990 --> 02:37:42,600
the countdown how's it going Kate

4164
02:37:47,270 --> 02:37:45,000
thanks Jesse I'm Kate Tice SpaceX

4165
02:37:49,130 --> 02:37:47,280
quality systems engineering manager and

4166
02:37:51,710 --> 02:37:49,140
for those that have just recently tuned

4167
02:37:53,929 --> 02:37:51,720
in we had a smooth countdown so far

4168
02:37:56,630 --> 02:37:53,939
today the crew six astronauts completed

4169
02:37:59,030 --> 02:37:56,640
Ingress at T minus two hours and 23

4170
02:38:01,250 --> 02:37:59,040
minutes and since then the teams have

4171
02:38:03,469 --> 02:38:01,260
completed the required com checks suit

4172
02:38:05,929 --> 02:38:03,479
leak checks and side hatch closer

4173
02:38:09,050 --> 02:38:05,939
closure as well as its Associated leap

4174
02:38:11,450 --> 02:38:09,060
check as for Falcon 9 our two-stage

4175
02:38:13,670 --> 02:38:11,460
reusable rocket final propulsion

4176
02:38:16,130 --> 02:38:13,680
checkouts of first and second stages of

4177
02:38:18,650 --> 02:38:16,140
the engine began a few minutes ago in

4178
02:38:20,570 --> 02:38:18,660
preparation for propellant loading now

4179
02:38:22,190 --> 02:38:20,580
that involves testing and cycling the

4180
02:38:25,429 --> 02:38:22,200
valves and engine pneumatics for

4181
02:38:27,770 --> 02:38:25,439
pressurization at T minus 45 minutes the

4182
02:38:30,469 --> 02:38:27,780
team will report their Readiness or prop

4183
02:38:32,690 --> 02:38:30,479
load with a final electronic go no-go

4184
02:38:35,210 --> 02:38:32,700
poll but before we can start loading

4185
02:38:37,730 --> 02:38:35,220
propellant on the Falcon 9 we have a few

4186
02:38:39,950 --> 02:38:37,740
tasks to perform first we need to

4187
02:38:41,929 --> 02:38:39,960
retract the crew access arm away from

4188
02:38:44,450 --> 02:38:41,939
the Dragon capsule to its launch

4189
02:38:47,150 --> 02:38:44,460
position that will happen between T

4190
02:38:49,550 --> 02:38:47,160
minus 44 minutes and T-minus 42 minutes

4191
02:38:52,070 --> 02:38:49,560
then with that crew arm out of the way

4192
02:38:54,410 --> 02:38:52,080
the launch Escape system will be armed

4193
02:38:56,270 --> 02:38:54,420
once those two events are complete

4194
02:38:58,910 --> 02:38:56,280
Dragon will be ready for Falcon

4195
02:39:00,950 --> 02:38:58,920
propellant loading now we'll also verify

4196
02:39:02,690 --> 02:39:00,960
with the launch weather officer that all

4197
02:39:04,910 --> 02:39:02,700
the weather meets all the constraints

4198
02:39:07,330 --> 02:39:04,920
that includes items such as wind speed

4199
02:39:10,010 --> 02:39:07,340
as well as lightning and precipitation

4200
02:39:11,929 --> 02:39:10,020
however for tonight we expect acceptable

4201
02:39:14,690 --> 02:39:11,939
weather conditions for launch both at

4202
02:39:17,570 --> 02:39:14,700
surface level surface level and upper

4203
02:39:19,849 --> 02:39:17,580
altitudes as we reported earlier the

4204
02:39:21,950 --> 02:39:19,859
possibility of violation for all of

4205
02:39:23,929 --> 02:39:21,960
those criteria is only five percent so

4206
02:39:24,950 --> 02:39:23,939
pretty good for Cape Canaveral looking

4207
02:39:27,530 --> 02:39:24,960
good there

4208
02:39:30,950 --> 02:39:27,540
as for the range currently clear for

4209
02:39:33,170 --> 02:39:30,960
launch from historic pad 39a worldwide

4210
02:39:35,510 --> 02:39:33,180
network of ground stations and the

4211
02:39:37,190 --> 02:39:35,520
tracking and data relay satellites or

4212
02:39:39,110 --> 02:39:37,200
tdras as you hear it called out on the

4213
02:39:41,990 --> 02:39:39,120
Nets those are ready to support dragon

4214
02:39:44,929 --> 02:39:42,000
as it heads into orbit today we have an

4215
02:39:47,330 --> 02:39:44,939
instantaneous launch window at 1 45 a.m

4216
02:39:49,309 --> 02:39:47,340
Eastern once we begin propellant loading

4217
02:39:51,830 --> 02:39:49,319
there is no opportunity to change that

4218
02:39:54,410 --> 02:39:51,840
t0 the timing for Dragon to Rendezvous

4219
02:39:57,230 --> 02:39:54,420
with the ISS is incredibly precise down

4220
02:39:59,450 --> 02:39:57,240
to the exact second so therefore we only

4221
02:40:02,510 --> 02:39:59,460
get one chance to go to space today but

4222
02:40:05,389 --> 02:40:02,520
at good news at T minus 51 minutes and

4223
02:40:07,730 --> 02:40:05,399
five seconds we are good for launch good

4224
02:40:13,429 --> 02:40:10,969
great to hear Kate today's launch marks

4225
02:40:15,770 --> 02:40:13,439
the sixth time a rotational crew will

4226
02:40:18,290 --> 02:40:15,780
fly on a commercial spacecraft and much

4227
02:40:20,030 --> 02:40:18,300
like our previous Crews today's crew has

4228
02:40:21,469 --> 02:40:20,040
been training with our teams at SpaceX

4229
02:40:24,170 --> 02:40:21,479
for the last several months running

4230
02:40:25,910 --> 02:40:24,180
nominal and emergency simulations of

4231
02:40:28,309 --> 02:40:25,920
what the full mission will look like

4232
02:40:30,530 --> 02:40:28,319
while seated inside of dragon

4233
02:40:32,929 --> 02:40:30,540
and as with every Mission each one of

4234
02:40:34,730 --> 02:40:32,939
our crew members brings a diverse set of

4235
02:40:36,050 --> 02:40:34,740
experiences to today's flight that's

4236
02:40:38,570 --> 02:40:36,060
right and we'll start with the missions

4237
02:40:40,969 --> 02:40:38,580
Commander Steve Bowen was born in

4238

serve as a mission specialist working to

4276
02:42:12,290 --> 02:42:10,200
monitor the spacecraft during the

4277
02:42:14,630 --> 02:42:12,300
dynamic launch and re-entry phases of

4278
02:42:16,610 --> 02:42:14,640
flight he spent time in the UAE military

4279
02:42:19,250 --> 02:42:16,620
prior to becoming one of the first two

4280
02:42:21,050 --> 02:42:19,260
individuals selected by his country when

4281
02:42:24,110 --> 02:42:21,060
they started their space program just a

4282

few short years ago in 2017. al-niadi

4283
02:42:30,790 --> 02:42:26,340
will be the first UAE astronaut to fly

4284
02:42:35,570 --> 02:42:33,590
will be making his first trip to space

4285
02:42:37,070 --> 02:42:35,580
and will also serve as a mission

4286
02:42:39,170 --> 02:42:37,080
specialist monitoring the spacecraft

4287

during the dynamic launch and re-entry

4288
02:42:43,849 --> 02:42:41,580
phases of flight he was selected as a

4289
02:42:46,790 --> 02:42:43,859
cosmonaut in 2012 and will be the second

4290
02:42:48,710 --> 02:42:46,800
cosmet to flyboard a SpaceX dragon

4291
02:42:51,110 --> 02:42:48,720
each of these crew members will be a

4292
02:42:53,389 --> 02:42:51,120
part of expedition 68 upon their arrival

4293
02:42:54,830 --> 02:42:53,399
to the International Space Station now

4294
02:42:56,750 --> 02:42:54,840
let's head back over to Kate for another

4295
02:42:58,550 --> 02:42:56,760
status update on the countdown how's it

4296
02:43:01,849 --> 02:42:58,560
going Kate

4297
02:43:04,610 --> 02:43:01,859
thanks Jesse it's now T-minus 48 minutes

4298
02:43:06,950 --> 02:43:04,620
and five seconds the SpaceX launch teams

4299
02:43:08,929 --> 02:43:06,960
are finishing final review of data from

4300
02:43:11,210 --> 02:43:08,939
checkouts of Falcon 9 that have occurred

4301
02:43:12,770 --> 02:43:11,220
over the last hour the launch director

4302
02:43:14,690 --> 02:43:12,780
has confirmed with the launch weather

4303
02:43:17,090 --> 02:43:14,700
officer that weather meets propellant

4304
02:43:19,790 --> 02:43:17,100
loading constraints so next up will be

4305
02:43:22,250 --> 02:43:19,800
to pull the team for readiness both to

4306
02:43:24,290 --> 02:43:22,260
load propellant and to launch therefore

4307
02:43:26,750 --> 02:43:24,300
that will be the final poll that occurs

4308
02:43:28,849 --> 02:43:26,760
prior to liftoff the seven SpaceX

4309
02:43:31,550 --> 02:43:28,859
responsible Engineers often called res

4310
02:43:34,190 --> 02:43:31,560
indicate that they are go for launch and

4311
02:43:36,410 --> 02:43:34,200
prop load electronically voting on the

4312
02:43:39,349 --> 02:43:36,420
online countdown procedure the launch

4313
02:43:41,809 --> 02:43:39,359
director or LD as it's called out on the

4314
02:43:44,570 --> 02:43:41,819
Nets also checks with the dragon mission

4315
02:43:46,309 --> 02:43:44,580
director or MD as well as the NASA

4316
02:43:47,330 --> 02:43:46,319
launch manager to make sure that they

4317
02:43:49,550 --> 02:43:47,340
are ready

4318
02:43:52,490 --> 02:43:49,560
now earlier you saw the Vehicle Assembly

4319
02:43:55,070 --> 02:43:52,500
Building lovingly referred to as the VAB

4320
02:43:57,110 --> 02:43:55,080
the Falcon and Dragon launch team as

4321
02:43:58,670 --> 02:43:57,120
well as key NASA launch members are in

4322
02:44:01,250 --> 02:43:58,680
the launch control center which is

4323
02:44:02,990 --> 02:44:01,260
adjacent to the VAB you have a view of

4324
02:44:06,710 --> 02:44:03,000
that room there on the left hand side of

4325
02:44:08,450 --> 02:44:06,720
your screen that is firing room four and

4326
02:44:10,070 --> 02:44:08,460
they have a view looking straight toward

4327
02:44:12,110 --> 02:44:10,080
pad 39a

4328
02:44:13,969 --> 02:44:12,120
now they're also on your screen on the

4329
02:44:16,969 --> 02:44:13,979
right hand side you can see the Dragon

4330
02:44:19,790 --> 02:44:16,979
capsule that crew access arm is still in

4331
02:44:21,830 --> 02:44:19,800
the surface position inside the capsule

4332
02:44:24,290 --> 02:44:21,840
there are four crew members looking

4333
02:44:25,610 --> 02:44:24,300
pretty comfy and pretty relaxed prior to

4334
02:44:27,830 --> 02:44:25,620
liftoff

4335
02:44:28,969 --> 02:44:27,840
as you can see that crew onboard Dragon

4336
02:44:31,849 --> 02:44:28,979
they're waiting for the next

4337
02:44:33,889 --> 02:44:31,859
instructions which will be to Stow the

4338
02:44:36,230 --> 02:44:33,899
crew arm for launch and to arm the

4339
02:44:38,270 --> 02:44:36,240
launch Escape system now once the launch

4340
02:44:40,490 --> 02:44:38,280
director gives the final instructions to

4341
02:44:42,889 --> 02:44:40,500
the launch Team the crew arm sequence

4342
02:44:44,990 --> 02:44:42,899
will be armed and initiated now we

4343
02:44:47,389 --> 02:44:45,000
should get a good view of the axis arm

4344
02:44:48,950 --> 02:44:47,399
as it swings away from the capsule which

4345
02:44:51,050 --> 02:44:48,960
will take about two minutes to

4346
02:44:53,330 --> 02:44:51,060
completely move out of the way

4347
02:44:55,969 --> 02:44:53,340
checking in on the Range continues to be

4348
02:44:57,950 --> 02:44:55,979
go for launch there they are monitoring

4349
02:45:01,190 --> 02:44:57,960
the clearance area around the launch pad

4350
02:45:03,710 --> 02:45:01,200
as around as the as well as the air and

4351
02:45:06,469 --> 02:45:03,720
sea space around the flight Corridor

4352
02:45:08,630 --> 02:45:06,479
there at Kennedy Space Center the

4353
02:45:10,610 --> 02:45:08,640
weather conditions are predicted to be

4354
02:45:13,849 --> 02:45:10,620
acceptable for launch as I mentioned

4355
02:45:16,330 --> 02:45:13,859
before only a five percent chance of

4356
02:45:19,670 --> 02:45:16,340
violating the conditions which include

4357
02:45:22,610 --> 02:45:19,680
winds both upper and launch altitudes

4358
02:45:25,309 --> 02:45:22,620
thick clouds as well as the downrange

4359
02:45:27,590 --> 02:45:25,319
landing zones in the unlikely event that

4360
02:45:29,210 --> 02:45:27,600
an abort is

4361
02:45:30,590 --> 02:45:29,220
um is called for it in that escape

4362
02:45:32,090 --> 02:45:30,600
sequence

4363
02:45:34,010 --> 02:45:32,100
um we have to make sure that the weather

4364
02:45:35,690 --> 02:45:34,020
for those downrange Landing zones is

4365
02:45:37,730 --> 02:45:35,700
also acceptable but everything is

4366
02:45:40,070 --> 02:45:37,740
looking there looking good on the

4367
02:45:43,370 --> 02:45:40,080
weather front uh now we are expecting

4368
02:45:46,730 --> 02:45:43,380
that uh final pull from the LD to occur

4369
02:45:51,290 --> 02:45:46,740
here in about 20 seconds so we will

4370
02:46:13,250 --> 02:45:51,300
pause and listen in for that uh for that

4371
02:46:16,969 --> 02:46:15,050
poll is complete and the team is ready

4372
02:46:21,170 --> 02:46:16,979
for crew access arm retract propelled

4373
02:46:24,830 --> 02:46:22,849
both control rooms will go into lockdown

4374
02:46:26,570 --> 02:46:24,840
at T minus 45 minutes and remain that

4375
02:46:28,910 --> 02:46:26,580
state until the launch Escape system is

4376
02:46:31,370 --> 02:46:28,920
disarmed all operators ought to remain

4377
02:46:33,469 --> 02:46:31,380
in their console and maintain a sterile

4378
02:46:35,090 --> 02:46:33,479
cockpit until MD confirms successful

4379
02:46:37,429 --> 02:46:35,100
disarming of the launch Escape system

4380
02:46:39,170 --> 02:46:37,439
following orbit insertion or propellant

4381
02:46:41,570 --> 02:46:39,180
offload in the event of a scrub

4382
02:46:44,510 --> 02:46:41,580
or non-urgent no-go conditions brief the

4383
02:46:46,370 --> 02:46:44,520
CE or the LD and the approval boarding

4384
02:46:47,690 --> 02:46:46,380
the launch countdown for Urgent issues

4385
02:46:49,910 --> 02:46:47,700
affecting the safety of the operation

4386
02:46:51,950 --> 02:46:49,920
operator shall call hold hold hold hold

4387
02:46:53,690 --> 02:46:51,960
on the countdown net launch control

4388
02:46:55,670 --> 02:46:53,700
worthy launch ICS immediately and

4389
02:46:57,710 --> 02:46:55,680
proceed into the launch of our sequence

4390
02:46:59,030 --> 02:46:57,720
at T minus 10 seconds lost control will

4391
02:47:00,530 --> 02:46:59,040
be hands off relying on automated

4392
02:47:01,370 --> 02:47:00,540
working material for the remainder of

4393
02:47:03,110 --> 02:47:01,380
the count

4394
02:47:05,210 --> 02:47:03,120
operators advise the launch tractor with

4395
02:47:06,590 --> 02:47:05,220
a structural breakup is eminent or

4396
02:47:09,230 --> 02:47:06,600
occurring for Dragon manual Escape

4397
02:47:11,389 --> 02:47:09,240
flight rules launch control you may have

4398
02:47:15,110 --> 02:47:11,399
pursued with arming launcher the crew

4399
02:47:15,120 --> 02:47:31,670
proceeding with Quran movement

4400
02:47:36,410 --> 02:47:34,070
all right as you just heard there that

4401
02:47:38,210 --> 02:47:36,420
final go for launch as well as for

4402
02:47:42,110 --> 02:47:38,220
propellant load coming from the launch

4403
02:47:45,170 --> 02:47:42,120
director or LD so all good news there we

4404
02:47:47,450 --> 02:47:45,180
are still goat for space tonight as of

4405
02:47:50,929 --> 02:47:47,460
right now the crew access arm is being

4406
02:47:53,210 --> 02:47:50,939
prepared to be moved out of the way so

4407
02:47:56,210 --> 02:47:53,220
to basically to clear room for the

4408
02:47:58,250 --> 02:47:56,220
Falcon 9 to lift off so to follow along

4409
02:48:00,530 --> 02:47:58,260
with that action live let's go back over

4410
02:48:01,969 --> 02:48:00,540
time attraction has started and there's

4411
02:48:03,710 --> 02:48:01,979
that call out for that retraction

4412
02:48:05,870 --> 02:48:03,720
beginning let's go back over to Daryl to

4413
02:48:07,250 --> 02:48:05,880
follow that live at KSC all right thank

4414
02:48:10,190 --> 02:48:07,260
you Kate appreciate it the countdown

4415
02:48:12,950 --> 02:48:10,200
continuing to tick down as you see the

4416
02:48:17,929 --> 02:48:12,960
crew access arm moving away

4417
02:48:22,969 --> 02:48:21,230
that crew access arm as it rotates out

4418
02:48:25,849 --> 02:48:22,979
of the way is that something that you

4419
02:48:27,650 --> 02:48:25,859
can feel when it disconnects so we

4420
02:48:31,190 --> 02:48:27,660
talked about that we could definitely

4421
02:48:32,870 --> 02:48:31,200
hear uh like uh thought we the 10th

4422
02:48:34,429 --> 02:48:32,880
cents the vibration of it

4423
02:48:37,250 --> 02:48:34,439
um I think we got a little bit of sense

4424
02:48:39,530 --> 02:48:37,260
of motion uh from the wind but I don't

4425
02:48:41,270 --> 02:48:39,540
know if we were just imagining it or not

4426
02:48:43,969 --> 02:48:41,280
because there's a whole lot of your

4427
02:48:45,290 --> 02:48:43,979
senses there are super like heightened

4428
02:48:46,190 --> 02:48:45,300
right now yeah

4429
02:48:48,469 --> 02:48:46,200
um

4430
02:48:51,650 --> 02:48:48,479
so you're definitely uh

4431
02:48:52,849 --> 02:48:51,660
uh we do we actually did talk through I

4432
02:48:53,809 --> 02:48:52,859
do remember talking to them as we talked

4433
02:48:55,790 --> 02:48:53,819
earlier about how you're kind of going

4434
02:48:58,610 --> 02:48:55,800
through different scenarios and

4435
02:49:00,889 --> 02:48:58,620
timelines and one thing is if there is a

4436
02:49:02,570 --> 02:49:00,899
emergency egress button in the capsule

4437
02:49:04,670 --> 02:49:02,580
but one of the things the big difference

4438
02:49:05,929 --> 02:49:04,680
is now that the arm is swung back is you

4439
02:49:07,610 --> 02:49:05,939
definitely want to make sure the arm has

4440
02:49:09,349 --> 02:49:07,620
swung back towards you in the event of

4441
02:49:11,330 --> 02:49:09,359
an egress that makes sense but you don't

4442
02:49:13,910 --> 02:49:11,340
want to step out into no nothing was at

4443
02:49:15,710 --> 02:49:13,920
this point the the Les is not hot but

4444
02:49:17,929 --> 02:49:15,720
the arms the arm would have to come out

4445
02:49:19,730 --> 02:49:17,939
to swing back yes and there's two rates

4446
02:49:20,990 --> 02:49:19,740
so the arm moves away at a slow rate but

4447
02:49:22,490 --> 02:49:21,000
in the event of emergency egress it

4448
02:49:23,510 --> 02:49:22,500
swings back in pretty quick right right

4449
02:49:25,130 --> 02:49:23,520
for themselves you want to get out

4450
02:49:26,210 --> 02:49:25,140
quickly but that's one of the things

4451
02:49:27,530 --> 02:49:26,220
they're probably talking to is like hey

4452
02:49:29,450 --> 02:49:27,540
don't forget first person out the door

4453
02:49:32,210 --> 02:49:29,460
make sure to look down first make sure

4454
02:49:35,210 --> 02:49:32,220
there's a that's a big first step if you

4455
02:49:37,429 --> 02:49:35,220
know if it hasn't swag back into place

4456
02:49:39,230 --> 02:49:37,439
great insight there Raja on the crew

4457
02:49:40,849 --> 02:49:39,240
access arm I didn't know that about it

4458
02:49:43,309 --> 02:49:40,859
being able to return so quickly but it

4459
02:49:45,349 --> 02:49:43,319
makes great sense from a safety

4460
02:49:49,250 --> 02:49:45,359
perspective and so now

4461
02:49:54,950 --> 02:49:49,260
coming up we expect to hear a call

4462
02:49:58,370 --> 02:49:57,290
yep and so the crew at this point uh in

4463
02:49:59,809 --> 02:49:58,380
preparation for that we'll be putting

4464
02:50:01,370 --> 02:49:59,819
the visors down they should have already

4465
02:50:03,830 --> 02:50:01,380
done all those steps

4466
02:50:05,510 --> 02:50:03,840
um they'll verify that and once they get

4467
02:50:07,670 --> 02:50:05,520
the go then they will arm the Las and

4468
02:50:09,230 --> 02:50:07,680
get confirmation uh that is armed we

4469
02:50:11,270 --> 02:50:09,240
talked before about the hatch close

4470
02:50:13,309 --> 02:50:11,280
state so that's also in this phase

4471
02:50:15,050 --> 02:50:13,319
that's the way you actually know it's

4472
02:50:17,570 --> 02:50:15,060
armed as you see the flight computer

4473
02:50:19,610 --> 02:50:17,580
State change so it's a command you send

4474
02:50:20,929 --> 02:50:19,620
to put it into the Armed State and then

4475
02:50:22,309 --> 02:50:20,939
you know what's happened when you'll

4476
02:50:23,270 --> 02:50:22,319
hear sounds but that's the that's the

4477
02:50:26,210 --> 02:50:23,280
official way you know it's actually

4478
02:50:30,230 --> 02:50:28,070
and the Really the purpose of the the

4479
02:50:32,389 --> 02:50:30,240
Alias of the launch Escape system is is

4480
02:50:35,270 --> 02:50:32,399
it's both an automated and a manual

4481
02:50:36,650 --> 02:50:35,280
system so there's the the vehicle is

4482
02:50:38,210 --> 02:50:36,660
monitoring a whole bunch of parameters

4483
02:50:39,710 --> 02:50:38,220
and so one of the reasons they have to

4484
02:50:40,910 --> 02:50:39,720
do a poll for arming is all the

4485
02:50:42,530 --> 02:50:40,920
operators on the ground are checking

4486
02:50:43,790 --> 02:50:42,540
that there's no parameter out of limits

4487
02:50:46,010 --> 02:50:43,800
that would trigger an escape

4488
02:50:47,150 --> 02:50:46,020
inadvertently so you don't want to turn

4489
02:50:49,790 --> 02:50:47,160
on the system only to have it

4490
02:50:50,750 --> 02:50:49,800
immediately fire the capsule off so the

4491
02:50:52,130 --> 02:50:50,760
first thing they're doing is making sure

4492
02:50:54,349 --> 02:50:52,140
everything all the parameters stable the

4493
02:50:55,670 --> 02:50:54,359
Telemetry is good there's no noisy

4494
02:50:57,710 --> 02:50:55,680
signals in the data that would

4495
02:50:59,270 --> 02:50:57,720
inadvertently trigger it uh and then

4496
02:51:00,710 --> 02:50:59,280
you'll then you arm the system and then

4497
02:51:02,210 --> 02:51:00,720
once it's armed there's the automated

4498
02:51:04,309 --> 02:51:02,220
abort and then there's also a manual

4499
02:51:05,389 --> 02:51:04,319
abort so I don't know that you can see

4500
02:51:07,309 --> 02:51:05,399
it in the camera views we have but

4501
02:51:10,610 --> 02:51:07,319
there's a handle that sits between Woody

4502
02:51:12,770 --> 02:51:10,620
and Steve that you can reach you rotate

4503
02:51:15,590 --> 02:51:12,780
and pull that will manually initiate and

4504
02:51:17,030 --> 02:51:15,600
abort and so just very similar to an

4505
02:51:20,030 --> 02:51:17,040
injection seat where you pull the handle

4506
02:51:22,250 --> 02:51:20,040
camera attraction complete

4507
02:51:25,070 --> 02:51:22,260
I mean that's a big responsibility for

4508
02:51:27,290 --> 02:51:25,080
the commander and pilot if

4509
02:51:28,670 --> 02:51:27,300
you had to pull that handle I mean

4510
02:51:30,530 --> 02:51:28,680
that's a you don't want to do that

4511
02:51:33,170 --> 02:51:30,540
unless you're right absolutely certain

4512
02:51:35,270 --> 02:51:33,180
exactly exactly and so there's a few

4513
02:51:37,490 --> 02:51:35,280
cases or if that's why earlier they did

4514
02:51:38,929 --> 02:51:37,500
all those checks on the uh the loops to

4515
02:51:41,150 --> 02:51:38,939
make sure that the people on the ground

4516
02:51:42,710 --> 02:51:41,160
that have the insight to the status of

4517
02:51:44,330 --> 02:51:42,720
the F9 and the dragon have the ability

4518
02:51:45,650 --> 02:51:44,340
to talk to the crew so if there's a

4519
02:51:47,210 --> 02:51:45,660
failure of the automated system that

4520
02:51:48,950 --> 02:51:47,220
someone could tell the crew to manual

4521
02:51:50,570 --> 02:51:48,960
inshape or there might be some scenarios

4522
02:51:53,990 --> 02:51:50,580
where the crew May notice something

4523
02:51:55,010 --> 02:51:54,000
first and manually initiate in just a

4524
02:51:57,230 --> 02:51:55,020
few seconds we're going to hear drag

4525
02:52:00,769 --> 02:51:57,240
into ground and that announcement for go

4526
02:52:04,370 --> 02:52:00,779
for Section section seven Dragon SpaceX

4527
02:52:07,370 --> 02:52:04,380
your go for Section six close visors and

4528
02:52:13,849 --> 02:52:07,380
arm launch Escape system

4529
02:52:17,809 --> 02:52:15,889
I think it used to be seven though it is

4530
02:52:19,190 --> 02:52:17,819
yeah so it's a great science there

4531
02:52:22,190 --> 02:52:19,200
constantly like we talked about before

4532
02:52:23,450 --> 02:52:22,200
sex Dragon advises the clues

4533
02:52:26,510 --> 02:52:23,460
I'm constantly learning and making

4534
02:52:28,070 --> 02:52:26,520
changes to procedures right

4535
02:52:31,490 --> 02:52:28,080
earlier tonight we saw a lot of work

4536
02:52:33,650 --> 02:52:31,500
happening in parallel for the first time

4537
02:52:36,410 --> 02:52:33,660
so we had a lot of margin left over and

4538
02:52:38,210 --> 02:52:36,420
there you can see the white room

4539
02:52:41,809 --> 02:52:38,220
exposed to the

4540
02:52:44,090 --> 02:52:41,819
elements outside the dragon Army and

4541
02:52:45,290 --> 02:52:44,100
launch Escape system okay so that's uh

4542
02:52:46,849 --> 02:52:45,300
Steve telling him that there are six

4543
02:52:48,830 --> 02:52:46,859
copies initiating the command like we

4544
02:52:50,210 --> 02:52:48,840
mentioned they'll do it actually you can

4545
02:52:52,309 --> 02:52:50,220
hear this you can definitely hear this

4546
02:52:54,170 --> 02:52:52,319
and feel it in the vehicle there's some

4547
02:52:56,389 --> 02:52:54,180
valves that are opening that are to the

4548
02:52:58,070 --> 02:52:56,399
super dracos which are the engines that

4549
02:53:00,290 --> 02:52:58,080
would fire to initiate an abort and

4550
02:53:01,969 --> 02:53:00,300
those valves are safe until this point

4551
02:53:03,710 --> 02:53:01,979
so this command is essentially unsaving

4552
02:53:05,510 --> 02:53:03,720
those valves and you can barely very

4553
02:53:07,670 --> 02:53:05,520
definitely hear and feel that inside the

4554
02:53:09,830 --> 02:53:07,680
capsule those super Draco engines you

4555
02:53:13,389 --> 02:53:09,840
mentioned Raja capable of moving dragon

4556
02:53:17,389 --> 02:53:13,399
half a mile in just 7.5 seconds

4557
02:53:20,929 --> 02:53:17,399
equivalent to a peak velocity of 436

4558
02:53:22,490 --> 02:53:20,939
miles per hour such a tremendous focus

4559
02:53:25,490 --> 02:53:22,500
on safety

4560
02:53:28,429 --> 02:53:25,500
is

4561
02:53:30,230 --> 02:53:28,439
are in the hands of SpaceX and they want

4562
02:53:31,849 --> 02:53:30,240
to get them out of there as fast as

4563
02:53:33,889 --> 02:53:31,859
possible if there were to be it's an

4564
02:53:35,510 --> 02:53:33,899
impressive system so actually we did a

4565
02:53:37,849 --> 02:53:35,520
flight test of the abort system before

4566
02:53:39,889 --> 02:53:37,859
demo 2 and that was that was impressive

4567
02:53:41,269 --> 02:53:39,899
to see that thing work and yeah just a

4568
02:53:42,530 --> 02:53:41,279
strong Testament I think one of the key

4569
02:53:44,570 --> 02:53:42,540
things with the commercial crew program

4570
02:53:46,250 --> 02:53:44,580
of having launch abort systems on both

4571
02:53:47,450 --> 02:53:46,260
the Starliner and the dragon just a

4572
02:53:49,849 --> 02:53:47,460
testament to how much we've learned over

4573
02:53:51,889 --> 02:53:49,859
the years of space flight and the try to

4574
02:53:53,809 --> 02:53:51,899
make it as safe as we can going forward

4575
02:53:55,910 --> 02:53:53,819
if you heard the call from SpaceX

4576
02:53:57,530 --> 02:53:55,920
confirming that the the launch Escape

4577
02:53:59,150 --> 02:53:57,540
system is armed so the next big thing

4578
02:54:00,590 --> 02:53:59,160
now that it's armed now it is safe to

4579
02:54:10,309 --> 02:54:00,600
start loading prop

4580
02:54:14,030 --> 02:54:12,230
if there were a pad abort

4581
02:54:16,610 --> 02:54:14,040
it would take the Dragon capsule two and

4582
02:54:21,830 --> 02:54:16,620
a half miles east of pad a into the

4583
02:54:26,870 --> 02:54:23,570
Dragon would come down under its

4584
02:54:28,550 --> 02:54:26,880
parachutes land in the ocean

4585
02:54:29,870 --> 02:54:28,560
could take about four hours to remove

4586
02:54:32,690 --> 02:54:29,880
the crew

4587
02:54:35,630 --> 02:54:32,700
we have uh assets with the Air Force

4588
02:54:37,309 --> 02:54:35,640
called Detachment three yep three is

4589
02:54:39,710 --> 02:54:37,319
what they call it yeah yeah so there's a

4590
02:54:42,530 --> 02:54:39,720
what's called PJs or pair rescue jumpers

4591
02:54:43,849 --> 02:54:42,540
so we use a myriad of assets uh the Air

4592
02:54:46,370 --> 02:54:43,859
Force and navy help support these

4593
02:54:49,969 --> 02:54:46,380
Launches on both coasts

4594
02:54:53,030 --> 02:54:49,979
um and uh basically the C-17 c-130s

4595
02:54:55,070 --> 02:54:53,040
helicopters PJs uh it's quite a quite a

4596
02:54:56,210 --> 02:54:55,080
group and all the more reason we have to

4597
02:54:58,550 --> 02:54:56,220
look at that whole weather in a port

4598
02:55:00,590 --> 02:54:58,560
Corridor to have that ready uh if we

4599
02:55:03,170 --> 02:55:00,600
need if we need help yeah because if

4600
02:55:04,730 --> 02:55:03,180
they landed in the Atlantic Ocean it

4601
02:55:06,710 --> 02:55:04,740
would take them take some time to get

4602
02:55:08,929 --> 02:55:06,720
there we've got assets along the Eastern

4603
02:55:12,290 --> 02:55:08,939
Seaboard could take about six to eight

4604
02:55:14,210 --> 02:55:12,300
hours so you want those C's to be calm

4605
02:55:21,469 --> 02:55:14,220
exactly and not bobbing around in the

4606
02:55:26,389 --> 02:55:23,030
all right we're getting ready to get

4607
02:55:28,670 --> 02:55:26,399
that propellant load started

4608
02:55:31,969 --> 02:55:28,680
and once they start that load you're

4609
02:55:33,830 --> 02:55:31,979
making calls for different phases of

4610
02:55:35,030 --> 02:55:33,840
load like the locks the helium different

4611
02:55:36,950 --> 02:55:35,040
things and the reason they're doing that

4612
02:55:38,630 --> 02:55:36,960
is again you can hear that and feel it

4613
02:55:39,830 --> 02:55:38,640
inside the vehicle as different valves

4614
02:55:42,889 --> 02:55:39,840
open and close

4615
02:55:44,510 --> 02:55:42,899
um you can hear uh hear the sounds of

4616
02:55:46,490 --> 02:55:44,520
fluid flowing here's feel some different

4617
02:55:48,590 --> 02:55:46,500
vibrations and so that's why they're

4618
02:55:50,510 --> 02:55:48,600
calling those that so the crew isn't

4619
02:55:52,010 --> 02:55:50,520
aware of if something's novel or off

4620
02:55:53,389 --> 02:55:52,020
phenomenal if you hear a sound without a

4621
02:55:54,710 --> 02:55:53,399
call that could make you worry so that

4622
02:55:56,450 --> 02:55:54,720
way you know like okay that's the one

4623
02:55:57,530 --> 02:55:56,460
that we expected to you know that valve

4624
02:56:08,150 --> 02:55:57,540
was supposed to open or supposed to

4625
02:56:08,160 --> 02:56:13,969
propellant load has started

4626
02:56:20,090 --> 02:56:16,190
okay and there we have the call that

4627
02:56:23,210 --> 02:56:20,100
propellant load has begun

4628
02:56:25,910 --> 02:56:23,220
a big milestone as we count down to

4629
02:56:28,190 --> 02:56:25,920
liftoff now T-minus 34 minutes and

4630
02:56:30,469 --> 02:56:28,200
Counting

4631
02:56:32,090 --> 02:56:30,479
today we'll begin the next six month

4632
02:56:34,849 --> 02:56:32,100
rotation mission to the International

4633
02:56:36,349 --> 02:56:34,859
Space Station the launch Escape system

4634
02:56:38,809 --> 02:56:36,359
is armed

4635
02:56:43,370 --> 02:56:38,819
which happened just before we began the

4636
02:56:47,389 --> 02:56:45,349
meanwhile the Dragon capsule was loaded

4637
02:56:48,950 --> 02:56:47,399
with its propellants about a week and a

4638
02:56:52,309 --> 02:56:48,960
half ago just a few miles down the road

4639
02:56:54,950 --> 02:56:52,319
if a facility SpaceX calls Dragon Land

4640
02:56:57,650 --> 02:56:54,960
in order to fly Dragon needs a fuel and

4641
02:57:01,070 --> 02:56:57,660
an oxidizer for the fuel SpaceX uses

4642
02:57:04,190 --> 02:57:01,080
monomethyl hydrogen or mmh and nitrogen

4643
02:57:06,650 --> 02:57:04,200
tetroxide or nto for oxidizer and

4644
02:57:08,889 --> 02:57:06,660
together these propellants feed those

4645
02:57:12,290 --> 02:57:08,899
Draco engines that maneuver Dragon

4646
02:57:14,389 --> 02:57:12,300
rather on orbit as well as the eight

4647
02:57:16,370 --> 02:57:14,399
super Draco engines that would power the

4648
02:57:21,050 --> 02:57:16,380
launch Escape system in an abort

4649
02:57:24,590 --> 02:57:22,910
and again now that the fueling for

4650
02:57:27,050 --> 02:57:24,600
Falcon 9 has started that means the

4651
02:57:30,110 --> 02:57:27,060
eight super Draco engines inside crew

4652
02:57:32,690 --> 02:57:30,120
Dragon are ready if needed to launch the

4653
02:57:34,670 --> 02:57:32,700
capsule away from the Falcon 9 rocket in

4654
02:57:36,830 --> 02:57:34,680
an instant should there be any kind of

4655
02:57:41,090 --> 02:57:36,840
emergency associated with the rocket or

4656
02:57:43,670 --> 02:57:41,100
the pad of course NASA and SpaceX trains

4657
02:57:45,710 --> 02:57:43,680
extensively for exactly that type of

4658
02:57:47,750 --> 02:57:45,720
contingency

4659
02:57:49,969 --> 02:57:47,760
so now let's head over to SpaceX

4660
02:57:51,290 --> 02:57:49,979
commentator Kate Tice at SpaceX

4661
02:57:55,490 --> 02:57:51,300
headquarters in Hawthorne for an

4662
02:57:59,690 --> 02:57:58,070
thanks Daryl yeah exactly right we're

4663
02:58:01,370 --> 02:57:59,700
continuing to count down the final

4664
02:58:03,710 --> 02:58:01,380
minutes everything's still looking good

4665
02:58:05,929 --> 02:58:03,720
for Falcon 9 and dragon with the teams

4666
02:58:08,389 --> 02:58:05,939
reporting no major issues at this time

4667
02:58:10,849 --> 02:58:08,399
uh now with the launch Escape system

4668
02:58:13,550 --> 02:58:10,859
armed and Falcon 9 propellant loading

4669
02:58:17,809 --> 02:58:13,560
underway we are heading for an on-time

4670
02:58:20,990 --> 02:58:17,819
launch just under 33 minutes from now

4671
02:58:23,330 --> 02:58:21,000
as we saw earlier or rather heard Falcon

4672
02:58:24,410 --> 02:58:23,340
9 propellant load began at T minus 35

4673
02:58:26,870 --> 02:58:24,420
minutes

4674
02:58:28,730 --> 02:58:26,880
Daryl did a great job of explaining uh

4675
02:58:29,990 --> 02:58:28,740
the propellants on Dragon let's talk a

4676
02:58:32,330 --> 02:58:30,000
little bit about the repellents on

4677
02:58:34,309 --> 02:58:32,340
Falcon 9. slightly different

4678
02:58:36,050 --> 02:58:34,319
the first and second stages of Falcon 9

4679
02:58:38,210 --> 02:58:36,060
are each loaded with two liquid

4680
02:58:39,950 --> 02:58:38,220
propellants one is fuel loaded loaded

4681
02:58:42,530 --> 02:58:39,960
into a tank at the bottom of the stage

4682
02:58:45,050 --> 02:58:42,540
the other an oxidizer loaded into a tank

4683
02:58:47,330 --> 02:58:45,060
at the top of the stage the fuel that we

4684
02:58:50,929 --> 02:58:47,340
use to power the Merlin engines is a

4685
02:58:52,670 --> 02:58:50,939
refined kerosene referring to as rp1 or

4686
02:58:56,030 --> 02:58:52,680
rocket propellant one

4687
02:58:58,910 --> 02:58:56,040
the oxidizer loaded on each stage is a

4688
02:59:01,429 --> 02:58:58,920
densified liquid oxygen or lox densified

4689
02:59:03,590 --> 02:59:01,439
meaning that it's kept much colder than

4690
02:59:06,110 --> 02:59:03,600
typical for launch Vehicles therefore it

4691
02:59:08,330 --> 02:59:06,120
takes a plus volume which allows for us

4692
02:59:10,070 --> 02:59:08,340
to put more of that oxidizer into the

4693
02:59:12,889 --> 02:59:10,080
first and second stages

4694
02:59:14,809 --> 02:59:12,899
to ignite the fuel and the oxidizer and

4695
02:59:17,510 --> 02:59:14,819
the Merlin rocket engine we use the

4696
02:59:20,690 --> 02:59:17,520
ignition fluids of triethyl aluminum and

4697
02:59:22,610 --> 02:59:20,700
triethyl Boron also called t-tub now

4698
02:59:24,950 --> 02:59:22,620
when t-tub comes into contact with

4699
02:59:27,290 --> 02:59:24,960
oxygen it burns giving off a green

4700
02:59:28,790 --> 02:59:27,300
colored flame once we have the flame

4701
02:59:30,710 --> 02:59:28,800
going we add a little bit of that

4702
02:59:32,809 --> 02:59:30,720
kerosene fuel into the Merlin chamber

4703
02:59:34,969 --> 02:59:32,819
and the engine ramps up to full power

4704
02:59:37,190 --> 02:59:34,979
now actually you might see that green

4705
02:59:40,190 --> 02:59:37,200
flash just as the second stage engine

4706
02:59:42,230 --> 02:59:40,200
ignites following stage separation

4707
02:59:44,330 --> 02:59:42,240
now topping off helium into pressure

4708
02:59:46,490 --> 02:59:44,340
vessels on both stages also underway

4709
02:59:48,230 --> 02:59:46,500
this is used to pressurize the tanks in

4710
02:59:50,570 --> 02:59:48,240
flight AS propellant is pulled out by

4711
02:59:52,610 --> 02:59:50,580
the Merlin turbo pumps you can think of

4712
02:59:54,349 --> 02:59:52,620
this similar to when you're drinking out

4713
02:59:56,570 --> 02:59:54,359
of a plastic water bottle you have to

4714
02:59:58,250 --> 02:59:56,580
put some air back into the bottle in

4715
02:59:59,450 --> 02:59:58,260
order to keep it from crumpling so

4716
03:00:00,889 --> 02:59:59,460
that's exactly what we're doing with

4717
03:00:02,809 --> 03:00:00,899
that helium

4718
03:00:04,190 --> 03:00:02,819
on board the spacecraft the astronauts

4719
03:00:06,410 --> 03:00:04,200
are monitoring the systems while

4720
03:00:08,510 --> 03:00:06,420
propellants are loaded into the Falcon 9

4721
03:00:10,610 --> 03:00:08,520
below them the cruise training in the

4722
03:00:13,070 --> 03:00:10,620
simulator here at SpaceX headquarters in

4723
03:00:15,230 --> 03:00:13,080
Hawthorne California actually includes

4724
03:00:18,469 --> 03:00:15,240
playback of sounds recorded in Dragon

4725
03:00:19,849 --> 03:00:18,479
capsules during recent flights so even

4726
03:00:22,070 --> 03:00:19,859
though today is the first day they're

4727
03:00:23,809 --> 03:00:22,080
hearing it live they are prepared for

4728
03:00:25,969 --> 03:00:23,819
these new sounds

4729
03:00:28,849 --> 03:00:25,979
now the range continues to report no

4730
03:00:32,030 --> 03:00:28,859
problems helium loading has started they

4731
03:00:34,250 --> 03:00:32,040
are go to support launch weather also

4732
03:00:36,650 --> 03:00:34,260
continues to look great currently wins

4733
03:00:39,830 --> 03:00:36,660
from the west southwest at nine miles

4734
03:00:41,870 --> 03:00:39,840
per hour great conditions we only have a

4735
03:00:43,910 --> 03:00:41,880
five percent probability of violation

4736
03:00:46,010 --> 03:00:43,920
for those constraints so all in all

4737
03:00:47,809 --> 03:00:46,020
looking good as I mentioned earlier

4738
03:00:49,969 --> 03:00:47,819
today we have an instantaneous launch

4739
03:00:51,950 --> 03:00:49,979
time so at this point if we hear a hold

4740
03:00:53,990 --> 03:00:51,960
for any reason we'll have to stand down

4741
03:00:56,330 --> 03:00:54,000
and Target our backup launch opportunity

4742
03:00:58,910 --> 03:00:56,340
which is tomorrow just under 24 hours

4743
03:01:02,090 --> 03:00:58,920
from tonight's planned launch

4744
03:01:04,190 --> 03:01:02,100
now at T minus 30 minutes and six

4745
03:01:06,050 --> 03:01:04,200
seconds let's turn it over to Jesse and

4746
03:01:09,050 --> 03:01:06,060
Gary for an overview of events that

4747
03:01:12,349 --> 03:01:09,060
we'll see after liftoff

4748
03:01:14,030 --> 03:01:12,359
thanks Kate for crew 60 astronauts

4749
03:01:15,469 --> 03:01:14,040
flight to station will take about 25

4750
03:01:18,110 --> 03:01:15,479
hours

4751
03:01:20,269 --> 03:01:18,120
now as we wait for that t0 Mark in just

4752
03:01:22,070 --> 03:01:20,279
under 30 minutes the ground operations

4753
03:01:23,990 --> 03:01:22,080
teams are doing a series of system

4754
03:01:26,389 --> 03:01:24,000
checks to make sure that both the dragon

4755
03:01:28,490 --> 03:01:26,399
and the Falcon 9 are ready for launch

4756
03:01:30,230 --> 03:01:28,500
you're looking at a live view of our

4757
03:01:32,450 --> 03:01:30,240
teams at the cape as they prepare for

4758
03:01:34,490 --> 03:01:32,460
liftoff now as we wait for that launch

4759
03:01:36,469 --> 03:01:34,500
clock to hit zero we wanted to give you

4760
03:01:39,170 --> 03:01:36,479
an overview of what the ascent portion

4761
03:01:42,110 --> 03:01:39,180
of the mission is going to look like

4762
03:01:44,809 --> 03:01:42,120
once we hit t0 and a successful launch

4763
03:01:47,750 --> 03:01:44,819
occurs we will watch Falcon 9 and dragon

4764
03:01:49,910 --> 03:01:47,760
lift off from historic launch pad 39a

4765
03:01:52,250 --> 03:01:49,920
and make their ascent

4766
03:01:54,650 --> 03:01:52,260
at about 50 seconds into flight Falcon

4767
03:01:56,570 --> 03:01:54,660
9's engines will throttle down to help

4768
03:01:59,030 --> 03:01:56,580
pass through the period of Maximum

4769
03:02:02,210 --> 03:01:59,040
Dynamic pressure on the rocket or what

4770
03:02:04,790 --> 03:02:02,220
we typically refer to as Max Q it's

4771
03:02:07,370 --> 03:02:04,800
worth noting that once we hit Max Q the

4772
03:02:09,170 --> 03:02:07,380
vehicle will be going supersonic

4773
03:02:11,090 --> 03:02:09,180
now once we are through the period of

4774
03:02:13,670 --> 03:02:11,100
Maximum Dynamic pressure we can throttle

4775
03:02:14,990 --> 03:02:13,680
up our nine Merlin engines again from

4776
03:02:16,849 --> 03:02:15,000
there at about two and a half minutes

4777
03:02:18,230 --> 03:02:16,859
into flight we have a series of three

4778
03:02:19,370 --> 03:02:18,240
events that will happen in Rapid

4779
03:02:22,670 --> 03:02:19,380
succession

4780
03:02:25,550 --> 03:02:22,680
first is Miko or main engine cutoff this

4781
03:02:28,429 --> 03:02:25,560
is where all nine Merlin 1D engines shut

4782
03:02:30,769 --> 03:02:28,439
off in preparation or stage separation

4783
03:02:32,870 --> 03:02:30,779
which is our second event

4784
03:02:34,490 --> 03:02:32,880
this is where the first stage detaches

4785
03:02:36,650 --> 03:02:34,500
from the second stage with the first

4786
03:02:39,469 --> 03:02:36,660
stage making its way back to Earth for

4787
03:02:41,710 --> 03:02:39,479
landing as a second stage continues its

4788
03:02:45,170 --> 03:02:41,720
Journey with the third event

4789
03:02:48,050 --> 03:02:45,180
ses1 or second stage engine start number

4790
03:02:50,450 --> 03:02:48,060
one where the mvac engine lights up and

4791
03:02:52,910 --> 03:02:50,460
propels the second stage along with our

4792
03:02:55,610 --> 03:02:52,920
crew 6 astronauts into orbit

4793
03:02:57,889 --> 03:02:55,620
as stage two heads towards its targeted

4794
03:02:59,690 --> 03:02:57,899
drop-off orbit stage one will execute

4795
03:03:01,969 --> 03:02:59,700
two Burns in order to make its way back

4796
03:03:04,130 --> 03:03:01,979
down to earth the first is the entry

4797
03:03:05,809 --> 03:03:04,140
burn that's where three of the m1d

4798
03:03:07,969 --> 03:03:05,819
engines will reignite and then shut down

4799
03:03:10,309 --> 03:03:07,979
again this helps to slow the stage down

4800
03:03:11,690 --> 03:03:10,319
in preparation for entry back into the

4801
03:03:13,610 --> 03:03:11,700
Earth's atmosphere

4802
03:03:15,710 --> 03:03:13,620
and while that first stage is heading

4803
03:03:17,510 --> 03:03:15,720
back to Earth the second stage will cut

4804
03:03:19,849 --> 03:03:17,520
off its one Merlin engine that was

4805
03:03:22,370 --> 03:03:19,859
ignited right after stage separation

4806
03:03:25,429 --> 03:03:22,380
once this happens we'll wait for a

4807
03:03:27,710 --> 03:03:25,439
confirmation of a good orbital insertion

4808
03:03:30,050 --> 03:03:27,720
about 90 seconds after Dragon gets into

4809
03:03:31,910 --> 03:03:30,060
orbit Falcon 9 will land back on Earth

4810
03:03:33,950 --> 03:03:31,920
The Landing burn is just a

4811
03:03:36,290 --> 03:03:33,960
engine burn but it's powerful enough to

4812
03:03:38,090 --> 03:03:36,300
bring the vehicle speed down rapidly in

4813
03:03:40,670 --> 03:03:38,100
order to land on the Drone ship at about

4814
03:03:42,889 --> 03:03:40,680
nine and a half minutes into the mission

4815
03:03:45,230 --> 03:03:42,899
ball Falcon 9 first stage is landing

4816
03:03:47,030 --> 03:03:45,240
dragon is preparing to separate from the

4817
03:03:49,190 --> 03:03:47,040
second stage at about three minutes

4818
03:03:51,590 --> 03:03:49,200
after the second stage gets into orbit

4819
03:03:54,170 --> 03:03:51,600
we should have a great view of dragon

4820
03:03:56,929 --> 03:03:54,180
with its four-person crew drifting away

4821
03:03:58,730 --> 03:03:56,939
from the second stage once dragon is a

4822
03:04:01,010 --> 03:03:58,740
short distance away it'll begin checking

4823
03:04:03,170 --> 03:04:01,020
out its Draco maneuvering thrusters to

4824
03:04:05,510 --> 03:04:03,180
make sure Dragon continues to increase

4825
03:04:07,610 --> 03:04:05,520
separation distance from that second

4826
03:04:09,349 --> 03:04:07,620
stage it's worth noting that these are

4827
03:04:11,990 --> 03:04:09,359
not the Super Drago engines that would

4828
03:04:14,269 --> 03:04:12,000
be used during an abort scenario

4829
03:04:16,610 --> 03:04:14,279
about 40 seconds after separation

4830
03:04:19,010 --> 03:04:16,620
dragon's nose cone deploy sequence will

4831
03:04:20,990 --> 03:04:19,020
begin it will take roughly four minutes

4832
03:04:23,269 --> 03:04:21,000
for the nose cone hooks to unlatch and

4833
03:04:24,730 --> 03:04:23,279
open exposing its guidance navigation

4834
03:04:27,290 --> 03:04:24,740
controls that will help dragon

4835
03:04:29,630 --> 03:04:27,300
autonomously fly to the space station

4836
03:04:31,490 --> 03:04:29,640
and lastly once the nose cone is

4837
03:04:33,530 --> 03:04:31,500
deployed the remaining Draco thrusters

4838
03:04:36,349 --> 03:04:33,540
on the forward bulkhead will be checked

4839
03:04:38,570 --> 03:04:36,359
from there over the next 25 hours Dragon

4840
03:04:40,849 --> 03:04:38,580
will be on its approach and Rendezvous

4841
03:04:42,769 --> 03:04:40,859
phases undergoing a number of phasing

4842
03:04:45,110 --> 03:04:42,779
Burns as it makes its way to the station

4843
03:04:46,490 --> 03:04:45,120
and all that will be coming up soon but

4844
03:04:48,110 --> 03:04:46,500
for now let's check back in with

4845
03:04:51,410 --> 03:04:48,120
Courtney in Mission Control Houston

4846
03:04:55,670 --> 03:04:53,630
thanks Gary the flight controllers here

4847
03:04:57,889 --> 03:04:55,680
in Mission Control Houston are laser

4848
03:05:00,050 --> 03:04:57,899
focused on the onboard systems of the

4849
03:05:02,150 --> 03:05:00,060
space station ensuring it is ready to

4850
03:05:04,250 --> 03:05:02,160
receive crew Dragon they're also making

4851
03:05:06,050 --> 03:05:04,260
sure all communication links between the

4852
03:05:08,330 --> 03:05:06,060
station dragon and the ground are

4853
03:05:09,889 --> 03:05:08,340
working properly the consensus to this

4854
03:05:12,110 --> 03:05:09,899
point is that everything is proceeding

4855
03:05:13,969 --> 03:05:12,120
right on track the team here in Mission

4856
03:05:15,290 --> 03:05:13,979
Control Houston the team in Hawthorne

4857
03:05:16,969 --> 03:05:15,300
and the astronauts aboard the space

4858
03:05:18,889 --> 03:05:16,979
station will monitor the autonomous

4859
03:05:21,290 --> 03:05:18,899
docking of the Dragon spacecraft

4860
03:05:22,910 --> 03:05:21,300
tomorrow they'll perform a series of

4861
03:05:25,010 --> 03:05:22,920
leak checks then work to open the

4862
03:05:26,990 --> 03:05:25,020
hatches on both the dragon side and

4863
03:05:29,630 --> 03:05:27,000
inside the station's pressurized mating

4864
03:05:31,190 --> 03:05:29,640
adapter we expect hatch opening to take

4865
03:05:33,950 --> 03:05:31,200
place about an hour and a half after

4866
03:05:35,269 --> 03:05:33,960
docking and once on board the astronauts

4867
03:05:37,490 --> 03:05:35,279
will be greeted by the space station

4868
03:05:39,469 --> 03:05:37,500
crew

4869
03:05:41,570 --> 03:05:39,479
and will then join in for welcoming

4870
03:05:42,769 --> 03:05:41,580
remarks for the new crew members from

4871
03:05:44,750 --> 03:05:42,779
there on out they will no longer be

4872
03:05:46,010 --> 03:05:44,760
referred to as Cruise 6 but rather as

4873
03:05:48,950 --> 03:05:46,020
flight Engineers of the International

4874
03:05:50,630 --> 03:05:48,960
Space Station until their return back to

4875
03:05:52,429 --> 03:05:50,640
Earth here in Mission Control Houston

4876
03:05:54,590 --> 03:05:52,439
flight director Chris Dobbins is on

4877
03:05:56,330 --> 03:05:54,600
Console overseeing the team for launch

4878
03:05:58,250 --> 03:05:56,340
and that'll do it from here in Mission

4879
03:06:00,830 --> 03:05:58,260
Control Houston so I'll toss it back

4880
03:06:02,990 --> 03:06:00,840
over to our team in Florida Daryl how's

4881
03:06:04,790 --> 03:06:03,000
it looking thank you very much Courtney

4882
03:06:06,469 --> 03:06:04,800
and we're out here at the Kennedy Space

4883
03:06:08,269 --> 03:06:06,479
Center folks are gathering on the lawn

4884
03:06:10,070 --> 03:06:08,279
now getting ready for this launch and

4885
03:06:12,530 --> 03:06:10,080
it's a beautiful sight behind us Roger

4886
03:06:14,030 --> 03:06:12,540
it's looking pretty good it's a great

4887
03:06:15,590 --> 03:06:14,040
View and looking forward to seeing my

4888
03:06:17,210 --> 03:06:15,600
first launch and watching another turtle

4889
03:06:19,790 --> 03:06:17,220
go to space yeah we're going to watch

4890
03:06:22,010 --> 03:06:19,800
the launch and we're going to watch you

4891
03:06:24,230 --> 03:06:22,020
reaction well if you're just joining us

4892
03:06:27,290 --> 03:06:24,240
we are T-minus 24 minutes and Counting

4893
03:06:28,790 --> 03:06:27,300
now until the sixth astronaut rotation

4894
03:06:31,070 --> 03:06:28,800
mission to the International Space

4895
03:06:33,769 --> 03:06:31,080
Station under NASA's commercial crew

4896
03:06:35,389 --> 03:06:33,779
program Commander Stephen Bowen pilot

4897
03:06:38,630 --> 03:06:35,399
Woody hoberg and Mission specialist

4898
03:06:40,190 --> 03:06:38,640
Sultan al-niadi and Andre fediev are

4899
03:06:41,570 --> 03:06:40,200
strapped into their seats inside Dragon

4900
03:06:44,269 --> 03:06:41,580
endeavor

4901
03:06:46,490 --> 03:06:44,279
they're in that capsule right there as

4902
03:06:48,590 --> 03:06:46,500
the Falcon 9 rocket fueling operation is

4903
03:06:50,809 --> 03:06:48,600
well underway the launch Escape system

4904
03:06:52,429 --> 03:06:50,819
is armed and that means dragon is

4905
03:06:55,550 --> 03:06:52,439
prepared to launch itself away from the

4906
03:06:58,130 --> 03:06:55,560
Falcon 9 in case of an emergency on the

4907
03:07:00,230 --> 03:06:58,140
pad or after liftoff

4908
03:07:01,309 --> 03:07:00,240
so far operations look and sound as

4909
03:07:05,570 --> 03:07:01,319
expected

4910
03:07:09,530 --> 03:07:05,580
counting down to that liftoff at 145 and

4911
03:07:11,330 --> 03:07:09,540
three seconds am Eastern Time yep and we

4912
03:07:13,429 --> 03:07:11,340
heard the call from the core that the

4913
03:07:15,769 --> 03:07:13,439
stage two cryo helium loaded started and

4914
03:07:18,469 --> 03:07:15,779
like they described out at Hawthorne so

4915
03:07:21,010 --> 03:07:18,479
far what we've loaded is the gas to

4916
03:07:22,969 --> 03:07:21,020
pressurize the tanks around

4917
03:07:24,769 --> 03:07:22,979
probably about three-ish minutes from

4918
03:07:26,570 --> 03:07:24,779
now we'll actually start the gas itself

4919
03:07:29,150 --> 03:07:26,580
so like they're ascribing we need what

4920
03:07:30,590 --> 03:07:29,160
you need you need pressure to move the

4921
03:07:33,349 --> 03:07:30,600
gas and then you need the actual gas in

4922
03:07:35,510 --> 03:07:33,359
the locks itself so right now we're we

4923
03:07:37,490 --> 03:07:35,520
are loader they are loading that helium

4924
03:07:39,050 --> 03:07:37,500
that pressurizes the tanks and then the

4925
03:07:42,370 --> 03:07:39,060
next thing will be the the fuel and then

4926
03:07:46,490 --> 03:07:42,380
the oxidizer those inert gases key to

4927
03:07:48,590 --> 03:07:46,500
pressurizing those especially the locks

4928
03:07:50,030 --> 03:07:48,600
this mission is the continuation of

4929
03:07:51,530 --> 03:07:50,040
rotational crew flights to the

4930
03:07:53,630 --> 03:07:51,540
International Space Station from U.S

4931
03:07:55,610 --> 03:07:53,640
soil on private rockets and spacecraft

4932
03:07:58,190 --> 03:07:55,620
and it would have been possible without

4933
03:08:02,030 --> 03:07:58,200
the success of of course NASA SpaceX

4934
03:08:03,530 --> 03:08:02,040
demo 2 that test flight now two two and

4935
03:08:04,969 --> 03:08:03,540
a half years ago

4936
03:08:07,250 --> 03:08:04,979
of course it was the safe delivery and

4937
03:08:09,349 --> 03:08:07,260
return of cruise one and two that got

4938
03:08:11,450 --> 03:08:09,359
the operational flights rolling there

4939
03:08:14,570 --> 03:08:11,460
you can see inside

4940
03:08:19,190 --> 03:08:16,969
you can see their visors are down and

4941
03:08:20,570 --> 03:08:19,200
we'll stay down now since the Les is

4942
03:08:22,730 --> 03:08:20,580
armed and you can see they're also not

4943
03:08:25,610 --> 03:08:22,740
writing or doing anything more at this

4944
03:08:26,929 --> 03:08:25,620
point was with the Les arm Ed you just

4945
03:08:31,010 --> 03:08:26,939
have to wait until they're done with

4946
03:08:35,269 --> 03:08:32,750
and you can see now evidence that that

4947
03:08:38,809 --> 03:08:35,279
liquid oxygen is flowing into that first

4948
03:08:41,870 --> 03:08:38,819
stage as it super chills the outer skin

4949
03:08:43,849 --> 03:08:41,880
of the rocket and then it

4950
03:08:46,849 --> 03:08:43,859
um you know condenses the

4951
03:08:55,309 --> 03:08:46,859
Florida humid air into a little bit of a

4952
03:08:59,330 --> 03:08:57,469
talking about the crew inside

4953
03:09:01,670 --> 03:08:59,340
the commander of crew 6 is Captain

4954
03:09:03,469 --> 03:09:01,680
Stephen Bowen hails from Cohasset

4955
03:09:05,750 --> 03:09:03,479
Massachusetts he's married with three

4956
03:09:07,730 --> 03:09:05,760
children he holds the title of first U.S

4957
03:09:10,010 --> 03:09:07,740
Navy submarine officer to be selected as

4958
03:09:11,990 --> 03:09:10,020
a mission specialist by NASA Captain

4959
03:09:14,030 --> 03:09:12,000
Bowen is also a veteran of NASA space

4960
03:09:18,830 --> 03:09:14,040
flights including space shuttle flights

4961
03:09:20,510 --> 03:09:18,840
on sts-126 132 and 133 and Steve's a

4962
03:09:21,889 --> 03:09:20,520
veteran spacewalker and just a great

4963
03:09:24,769 --> 03:09:21,899
veteran to have the off around the

4964
03:09:26,330 --> 03:09:24,779
office and great Commander to have for

4965
03:09:27,830 --> 03:09:26,340
for three rookies

4966
03:09:29,090 --> 03:09:27,840
um he's just and I think what we've

4967
03:09:31,010 --> 03:09:29,100
learned about submarines is they're a

4968
03:09:32,990 --> 03:09:31,020
lot like a space station Kayla who's

4969
03:09:34,429 --> 03:09:33,000
also submarine I'd like to say that both

4970
03:09:35,929 --> 03:09:34,439
things are you know putting people where

4971
03:09:38,450 --> 03:09:35,939
people aren't meant to be and a lot of

4972
03:09:40,010 --> 03:09:38,460
the systems and ways you have to work

4973
03:09:41,990 --> 03:09:40,020
together are very similar and you need

4974
03:09:43,969 --> 03:09:42,000
good people working together in those

4975
03:09:47,030 --> 03:09:43,979
tight quarters sitting next to Stephen

4976
03:09:49,730 --> 03:09:47,040
is pilot Warren Woody hoberg the 37 year

4977
03:09:51,590 --> 03:09:49,740
old is from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania he

4978
03:09:53,990 --> 03:09:51,600
studied Aeronautics and astronautics

4979
03:09:55,550 --> 03:09:54,000
from MIT before getting a doctorate in

4980
03:09:57,889 --> 03:09:55,560
electrical engineering and computer

4981
03:10:00,110 --> 03:09:57,899
science from the University of of

4982
03:10:02,630 --> 03:10:00,120
California Berkeley during grad school

4983
03:10:04,370 --> 03:10:02,640
hoberg worked as an EMT with the

4984
03:10:07,070 --> 03:10:04,380
Yosemite search and rescue I've seen

4985
03:10:09,650 --> 03:10:07,080
pictures of him on a rope scaling Half

4986
03:10:11,929 --> 03:10:09,660
Dome crew 6 will be hoberg's first

4987
03:10:15,290 --> 03:10:11,939
flight since NASA selected him to be an

4988
03:10:16,969 --> 03:10:15,300
astronaut in 2017. he is one sharp

4989
03:10:19,130 --> 03:10:16,979
fellow but also a great guy yeah and

4990
03:10:21,290 --> 03:10:19,140
also a turtle so proud to see him going

4991
03:10:23,510 --> 03:10:21,300
up there as he had another member of our

4992
03:10:25,790 --> 03:10:23,520
uh yeah and super excited Woody like you

4993
03:10:28,130 --> 03:10:25,800
said just amazingly brilliant uh but

4994
03:10:30,110 --> 03:10:28,140
also just so operationally sound uh you

4995
03:10:33,349 --> 03:10:30,120
know his time working as a basically

4996
03:10:34,910 --> 03:10:33,359
rescuing people from ridiculous places I

4997
03:10:36,710 --> 03:10:34,920
mean we're not talking run-of-the-mill

4998
03:10:38,809 --> 03:10:36,720
like you know off a ski slope we're

4999
03:10:40,849 --> 03:10:38,819
talking like off of rock faces and

5000
03:10:43,010 --> 03:10:40,859
cliffs and just some yeah crazy stuff

5001
03:10:45,469 --> 03:10:43,020
and doing that and carrying someone else

5002
03:10:49,370 --> 03:10:45,479
with you who's injured right is not is

5003
03:10:51,290 --> 03:10:49,380
no joke high risk rescues and it's uh

5004
03:10:53,510 --> 03:10:51,300
incredible what he's been able to

5005
03:10:55,490 --> 03:10:53,520
accomplish before becoming an astronaut

5006
03:10:58,670 --> 03:10:55,500
in the role of mission specialist is

5007
03:11:00,110 --> 03:10:58,680
astronaut Sultan al-niadi stage two rp1

5008
03:11:03,469 --> 03:11:00,120
though complete

5009
03:11:05,630 --> 03:11:03,479
okay we heard the rp1 complete in the

5010
03:11:07,849 --> 03:11:05,640
stage two stage one will continue going

5011
03:11:10,910 --> 03:11:07,859
all the way down to round T minus six

5012
03:11:13,130 --> 03:11:10,920
minutes back to Sultan he was chosen by

5013
03:11:15,830 --> 03:11:13,140
the Muhammad bin Rashi Rasheed space

5014
03:11:19,490 --> 03:11:15,840
center of the United Arab Emirates to be

5015
03:11:21,710 --> 03:11:19,500
part of expeditions 6869 the father of

5016
03:11:24,830 --> 03:11:21,720
five spent most of his life in al-ayin

5017
03:11:27,170 --> 03:11:24,840
and Abu Dhabi but in 2020 it traded it

5018
03:11:30,230 --> 03:11:27,180
all in for Astronaut training in Houston

5019
03:11:32,570 --> 03:11:30,240
at NASA's Johnson Space Center and this

5020
03:11:34,610 --> 03:11:32,580
will be his first trip to space yeah and

5021
03:11:37,010 --> 03:11:34,620
so important to have our UAE partners

5022
03:11:39,170 --> 03:11:37,020
with us the first long duration UAE

5023
03:11:40,550 --> 03:11:39,180
flight so what a historic moment for UAE

5024
03:11:42,290 --> 03:11:40,560
and for NASA to be working in

5025
03:11:44,630 --> 03:11:42,300
partnership with them like you heard

5026
03:11:46,250 --> 03:11:44,640
Hazard mentioned earlier Sultan and him

5027
03:11:48,590 --> 03:11:46,260
had trained together at Ross Cosmos now

5028
03:11:51,230 --> 03:11:48,600
trained together here and it's uh cool

5029
03:11:53,330 --> 03:11:51,240
to see Sultan now going up there on a

5030
03:11:56,450 --> 03:11:53,340
U.S commercial rocket to go to the go to

5031
03:12:01,790 --> 03:11:58,550
and now we just heard the call

5032
03:12:03,410 --> 03:12:01,800
the strong back chill has begun and you

5033
03:12:06,050 --> 03:12:03,420
can see the

5034
03:12:08,469 --> 03:12:06,060
condensing of the outside air

5035
03:12:11,150 --> 03:12:08,479
that super chilled liquid oxygen both

5036
03:12:13,190 --> 03:12:11,160
chilling the rocket and of course the

5037
03:12:15,290 --> 03:12:13,200
venting of that locks

5038
03:12:17,990 --> 03:12:15,300
going out into the air

5039
03:12:21,170 --> 03:12:18,000
our next mission specialist

5040
03:12:24,349 --> 03:12:21,180
Andre fediev it's also his first trip to

5041
03:12:26,809 --> 03:12:24,359
space for the second mission specialist

5042
03:12:28,490 --> 03:12:26,819
he's a Ross Cosmos Cosmonaut and he will

5043
03:12:30,950 --> 03:12:28,500
be working to monitor the spacecraft

5044
03:12:33,530 --> 03:12:30,960
during the dynamic launch and re-entry

5045
03:12:37,610 --> 03:12:33,540
phases of flight he will be a flight

5046
03:12:39,650 --> 03:12:37,620
engineer for expedition 68.

5047
03:12:42,889 --> 03:12:39,660
yeah considering the partnership with

5048
03:12:45,349 --> 03:12:42,899
cosmonauts riding on uh dragons and U.S

5049
03:12:47,050 --> 03:12:45,359
astronauts riding on soyuz so great to

5050
03:12:49,550 --> 03:12:47,060
see that continuing and Andre the latest

5051
03:12:52,730 --> 03:12:49,560
Cosmonaut heading up on a dragon

5052
03:12:54,830 --> 03:12:52,740
and happy birthday to him he turns 42.

5053
03:12:56,690 --> 03:12:54,840
what a way to celebrate

5054
03:12:59,090 --> 03:12:56,700
each of these four crew members will be

5055
03:13:02,330 --> 03:12:59,100
part of the Expedition 68 once they

5056
03:13:06,170 --> 03:13:02,340
arrive at the International Space

5057
03:13:11,510 --> 03:13:09,469
at this moment Raja

5058
03:13:13,190 --> 03:13:11,520
what's the crew feeling

5059
03:13:14,990 --> 03:13:13,200
I think it's hoping that everything

5060
03:13:15,950 --> 03:13:15,000
continues that you've trained so long

5061
03:13:17,929 --> 03:13:15,960
for this

5062
03:13:19,849 --> 03:13:17,939
um you obviously don't want to get

5063
03:13:21,170 --> 03:13:19,859
what's called go fever you know when

5064
03:13:23,389 --> 03:13:21,180
meaning you're going to ignore a problem

5065
03:13:24,950 --> 03:13:23,399
but you're just kind of just hoping that

5066
03:13:26,809 --> 03:13:24,960
there's not any problems that pop up at

5067
03:13:28,550 --> 03:13:26,819
this point and most of it's honestly out

5068
03:13:31,910 --> 03:13:28,560
of your control so you but you have

5069
03:13:33,710 --> 03:13:31,920
complete trust in the team this is where

5070
03:13:35,450 --> 03:13:33,720
you know the reason we've trained so

5071
03:13:36,590 --> 03:13:35,460
long and trained with these actual

5072
03:13:38,570 --> 03:13:36,600
operators the same people are in the

5073
03:13:39,950 --> 03:13:38,580
loops is uh if there are any issues you

5074
03:13:42,230 --> 03:13:39,960
can hear it in their voices you've

5075
03:13:45,290 --> 03:13:42,240
worked with them you know them complete

5076
03:13:47,210 --> 03:13:45,300
confidence in the the JSC and and mccx

5077
03:13:48,650 --> 03:13:47,220
the Hawthorne teams and just actually

5078
03:13:49,910 --> 03:13:48,660
looking to looking forward to actually

5079
03:13:51,889 --> 03:13:49,920
getting to execute what you've trained

5080
03:13:53,690 --> 03:13:51,899
so long to do it makes sense so much

5081
03:13:56,389 --> 03:13:53,700
work and so much effort over the years

5082
03:13:58,910 --> 03:13:56,399
has gone in to get to this point you

5083
03:14:00,710 --> 03:13:58,920
want to keep going yep

5084
03:14:02,150 --> 03:14:00,720
yeah that's uh and I think right now

5085
03:14:04,130 --> 03:14:02,160
just the final my guess is what they're

5086
03:14:05,929 --> 03:14:04,140
talking through is so again on those

5087
03:14:07,910 --> 03:14:05,939
displays they're probably looking

5088
03:14:09,769 --> 03:14:07,920
forward a few events and talking through

5089
03:14:10,849 --> 03:14:09,779
those and so specifically they are

5090
03:14:13,370 --> 03:14:10,859
probably talking through the different

5091
03:14:15,050 --> 03:14:13,380
launch abort phases so you'll hear once

5092
03:14:18,469 --> 03:14:15,060
they actually lift off you'll hear

5093
03:14:20,090 --> 03:14:18,479
Stephen calling 1a1b 2A those are the

5094
03:14:21,230 --> 03:14:20,100
different launch abort stages and what

5095
03:14:23,690 --> 03:14:21,240
they are probably talking through right

5096
03:14:25,849 --> 03:14:23,700
now is the timing of that what things

5097
03:14:27,590 --> 03:14:25,859
they're looking for on the displays and

5098
03:14:28,849 --> 03:14:27,600
just again re you know sort of

5099
03:14:30,650 --> 03:14:28,859
rehearsing as much as you can because

5100
03:14:32,450 --> 03:14:30,660
once it happens it happens really quick

5101
03:14:34,849 --> 03:14:32,460
so you're just kind of running through

5102
03:14:38,929 --> 03:14:34,859
things over and over again the other

5103
03:14:42,830 --> 03:14:41,389
start of stage two lock float

5104
03:14:45,230 --> 03:14:42,840
right

5105
03:14:46,610 --> 03:14:45,240
so there's the start of the locks being

5106
03:14:48,469 --> 03:14:46,620
loaded on stage two you heard the call

5107
03:14:51,469 --> 03:14:48,479
there so things still progressing well

5108
03:14:52,910 --> 03:14:51,479
and so the crew has a a timeline of

5109
03:14:54,650 --> 03:14:52,920
these events so they're also that's

5110
03:14:57,110 --> 03:14:54,660
another way they can kind of QC if

5111
03:14:58,790 --> 03:14:57,120
things are proceeding maybe if the fuel

5112
03:14:59,870 --> 03:14:58,800
is taking longer or slower to slow so

5113
03:15:01,250 --> 03:14:59,880
they're kind of comparing what what

5114
03:15:02,990 --> 03:15:01,260
they're seeing on the clock versus those

5115
03:15:04,090 --> 03:15:03,000
calls and gives them a sense of how

5116
03:15:07,250 --> 03:15:04,100
things are going but there's no

5117
03:15:08,870 --> 03:15:07,260
immediate direct Telemetry in the Dragon

5118
03:15:10,429 --> 03:15:08,880
capsule that tells you all the

5119
03:15:12,769 --> 03:15:10,439
subsystems in the F9 rocket you're

5120
03:15:13,849 --> 03:15:12,779
relying on the timing and some cues and

5121
03:15:15,410 --> 03:15:13,859
listening to these calls to know what's

5122
03:15:17,809 --> 03:15:15,420
going on with the rocket itself once it

5123
03:15:19,670 --> 03:15:17,819
launches you have Telemetry on the F9

5124
03:15:21,590 --> 03:15:19,680
engines the status of the throttling

5125
03:15:23,389 --> 03:15:21,600
command so he talked about out at

5126
03:15:24,889 --> 03:15:23,399
Hawthorne the max Q event and the

5127
03:15:25,969 --> 03:15:24,899
throttle down you can see that you can

5128
03:15:27,769 --> 03:15:25,979
feel it

5129
03:15:29,389 --> 03:15:27,779
um and actually that was probably what I

5130
03:15:32,330 --> 03:15:29,399
thought as one of the coolest things

5131
03:15:34,730 --> 03:15:32,340
about our launch was that I we could

5132
03:15:36,710 --> 03:15:34,740
feel and hear the throttle down before

5133
03:15:38,030 --> 03:15:36,720
we saw it in the Telemetry so for all

5134
03:15:40,790 --> 03:15:38,040
the Automation and all the coolest

5135
03:15:42,889 --> 03:15:40,800
Electronics I thought it was amazing and

5136
03:15:45,110 --> 03:15:42,899
very awesome that the person is still

5137
03:15:47,870 --> 03:15:45,120
could still beat the machine how about

5138
03:15:49,250 --> 03:15:47,880
that but so that's kind of what they're

5139
03:15:50,690 --> 03:15:49,260
since they don't have that inside to the

5140
03:15:52,670 --> 03:15:50,700
F9 rocket they're relying on the calls

5141
03:15:54,410 --> 03:15:52,680
and the timing as they are sitting here

5142
03:15:56,510 --> 03:15:54,420
now and just making sure everything's on

5143
03:15:58,190 --> 03:15:56,520
track critical Communications

5144
03:16:00,230 --> 03:15:58,200
to the astronauts so they know exactly

5145
03:16:02,030 --> 03:16:00,240
what's going on as Raja mentioned if

5146
03:16:04,010 --> 03:16:02,040
you're outside and getting ready to

5147
03:16:05,750 --> 03:16:04,020
watch this launch you can hear it on the

5148
03:16:08,889 --> 03:16:05,760
radio it'll be available on local

5149
03:16:12,710 --> 03:16:08,899
amateur VHF radio frequency

5150
03:16:14,410 --> 03:16:12,720
146.940 megahertz and on the UHF radio

5151
03:16:17,690 --> 03:16:14,420
frequency

5152
03:16:23,269 --> 03:16:17,700
444.925 megahertz FM mode heard within

5153
03:16:26,990 --> 03:16:25,429
so the next thing you should be as we

5154
03:16:28,250 --> 03:16:27,000
get closer to 10 minutes they're going

5155
03:16:29,450 --> 03:16:28,260
to make sure the launch displays are set

5156
03:16:30,769 --> 03:16:29,460
up and the reason they're going to do

5157
03:16:33,650 --> 03:16:30,779
that is because once the launch happens

5158
03:16:35,150 --> 03:16:33,660
you have the ability to all the layers

5159
03:16:36,170 --> 03:16:35,160
are touch screen so you can change and

5160
03:16:37,730 --> 03:16:36,180
move them but you don't want to be doing

5161
03:16:39,290 --> 03:16:37,740
that during launch and so there's a

5162
03:16:41,809 --> 03:16:39,300
check in there to make sure you have all

5163
03:16:43,610 --> 03:16:41,819
the views you want generally what I'm

5164
03:16:46,309 --> 03:16:43,620
guessing they'll do is they'll scroll on

5165
03:16:47,510 --> 03:16:46,319
the procedure to where they expect to uh

5166
03:16:50,389 --> 03:16:47,520
so they don't have to scroll while

5167
03:16:52,130 --> 03:16:50,399
they're you know under G's they'll make

5168
03:16:54,349 --> 03:16:52,140
sure that the admission Specialists have

5169
03:16:55,969 --> 03:16:54,359
the views they need you can see Andre is

5170
03:16:58,010 --> 03:16:55,979
actually reaching up there right now so

5171
03:17:00,610 --> 03:16:58,020
they'll kind of check to make sure that

5172
03:17:03,290 --> 03:17:00,620
their line of sight is not obstructed

5173
03:17:04,910 --> 03:17:03,300
and that one more check of probably the

5174
03:17:06,950 --> 03:17:04,920
volume control of their seats that

5175
03:17:08,510 --> 03:17:06,960
everyone can hear each other maybe give

5176
03:17:09,410 --> 03:17:08,520
it a few clicks to account for the fact

5177
03:17:11,269 --> 03:17:09,420
that it's going to get a little louder

5178
03:17:13,790 --> 03:17:11,279
after launch all right let's get another

5179
03:17:17,330 --> 03:17:13,800
update from SpaceX and check in with

5180
03:17:23,510 --> 03:17:20,570
thanks Daryl we are T minus 13 minutes

5181
03:17:26,210 --> 03:17:23,520
and 47 seconds from launch everything's

5182
03:17:29,389 --> 03:17:26,220
still looking good for tonight's Falcon

5183
03:17:30,590 --> 03:17:29,399
9 launch for Dragon crew 6. if you've

5184
03:17:32,690 --> 03:17:30,600
been following along you know that

5185
03:17:35,570 --> 03:17:32,700
Falcon 9 began propellant load at

5186
03:17:37,910 --> 03:17:35,580
T-minus 35 minutes loading of the rp1

5187
03:17:39,670 --> 03:17:37,920
fuel on the second stage is complete

5188
03:17:42,650 --> 03:17:39,680
that finished around T minus 20 minutes

5189
03:17:45,950 --> 03:17:42,660
fuel loading on the first stage

5190
03:17:48,769 --> 03:17:45,960
continues it's approximately 75 percent

5191
03:17:51,230 --> 03:17:48,779
full and we'll finish around T minus six

5192
03:17:53,389 --> 03:17:51,240
minutes tensified liquid oxygen loading

5193
03:17:54,670 --> 03:17:53,399
is underway on both the first and second

5194
03:17:58,250 --> 03:17:54,680
stages

5195
03:18:00,830 --> 03:17:58,260
they are looking about 80 percent full

5196
03:18:03,170 --> 03:18:00,840
on the first stage and just under 10 on

5197
03:18:04,969 --> 03:18:03,180
the second stage that will wrap up at T

5198
03:18:06,469 --> 03:18:04,979
minus three minutes and T minus two

5199
03:18:08,269 --> 03:18:06,479
minutes respectively

5200
03:18:10,730 --> 03:18:08,279
checkouts of the thrust Vector

5201
03:18:12,769 --> 03:18:10,740
controllers what we call TVC Wiggles

5202
03:18:14,929 --> 03:18:12,779
those are coming up that's basically

5203
03:18:17,570 --> 03:18:14,939
when we use those thrust Vector

5204
03:18:20,090 --> 03:18:17,580
controllers to slightly move each engine

5205
03:18:22,730 --> 03:18:20,100
nozzle that's what allows Falcon 9 to

5206
03:18:24,830 --> 03:18:22,740
steer itself during ascent

5207
03:18:26,809 --> 03:18:24,840
Dragon Michigan director and team are

5208
03:18:29,030 --> 03:18:26,819
reporting no major issues at this time

5209
03:18:31,010 --> 03:18:29,040
communication checkouts are complete the

5210
03:18:32,750 --> 03:18:31,020
crew access arm is retracted as you can

5211
03:18:35,450 --> 03:18:32,760
see there on your screen it's nowhere in

5212
03:18:38,030 --> 03:18:35,460
sight the crew access arm excuse me the

5213
03:18:40,309 --> 03:18:38,040
launch Escape system is armed and the

5214
03:18:41,750 --> 03:18:40,319
crew is strapped into their seats and

5215
03:18:43,910 --> 03:18:41,760
ready to go to space

5216
03:18:46,910 --> 03:18:43,920
final instructions to the crew will come

5217
03:18:48,830 --> 03:18:46,920
at T minus 10 minutes the crew displays

5218
03:18:50,750 --> 03:18:48,840
will be configured for launch that setup

5219
03:18:52,250 --> 03:18:50,760
gives the crew insight into how the

5220
03:18:54,710 --> 03:18:52,260
launch is proceeding and provides

5221
03:18:56,210 --> 03:18:54,720
constant updates on Vehicle Health you

5222
03:18:57,769 --> 03:18:56,220
can see the crew there on the right hand

5223
03:18:58,910 --> 03:18:57,779
side of your screen now looking pretty

5224
03:19:01,130 --> 03:18:58,920
comfortable

5225
03:19:02,929 --> 03:19:01,140
at T minus five minutes we'll be in

5226
03:19:05,690 --> 03:19:02,939
terminal count and dragon will then

5227
03:19:07,610 --> 03:19:05,700
transition to internal power we'll hear

5228
03:19:09,889 --> 03:19:07,620
continued call outs on the countdown net

5229
03:19:14,030 --> 03:19:09,899
as we continue to get closer to liftoff

5230
03:19:16,250 --> 03:19:14,040
as for the range they remain green for

5231
03:19:18,650 --> 03:19:16,260
launch ready to go weather also still

5232
03:19:21,530 --> 03:19:18,660
looking really good winds down to four

5233
03:19:23,630 --> 03:19:21,540
miles per hour coming from the West only

5234
03:19:26,570 --> 03:19:23,640
a five percent chance of violation for

5235
03:19:28,250 --> 03:19:26,580
the criteria so continues to look good

5236
03:19:30,230 --> 03:19:28,260
I'm sure if it was Daylight it would

5237
03:19:32,809 --> 03:19:30,240
probably be a cloudless guy for the most

5238
03:19:34,969 --> 03:19:32,819
part there at Kennedy Space Center so

5239
03:19:37,730 --> 03:19:34,979
with that in mind let's go back to Daryl

5240
03:19:40,250 --> 03:19:37,740
at Kennedy as we continue to approach

5241
03:19:42,590 --> 03:19:40,260
liftoff just under 11 and a half minutes

5242
03:19:44,510 --> 03:19:42,600
from now all right good call outs there

5243
03:19:46,969 --> 03:19:44,520
Kate appreciate that some final thoughts

5244
03:19:49,370 --> 03:19:46,979
from the commander of crew 3 before we

5245
03:19:50,750 --> 03:19:49,380
watch crew six it's a great time to be

5246
03:19:52,429 --> 03:19:50,760
here you'll hear them in a few minutes

5247
03:19:54,110 --> 03:19:52,439
when they make the 10-minute call and

5248
03:19:55,190 --> 03:19:54,120
confirm their displays are ready the

5249
03:19:57,349 --> 03:19:55,200
crew will probably give a message

5250
03:19:59,450 --> 03:19:57,359
thanking folks and just the thoughts on

5251
03:20:01,190 --> 03:19:59,460
their mind there's a lot of work and a

5252
03:20:03,469 --> 03:20:01,200
lot of people that worked a lot of time

5253
03:20:05,330 --> 03:20:03,479
to get them here and yeah it's a pretty

5254
03:20:08,690 --> 03:20:05,340
special moment and when they lift off

5255
03:20:11,450 --> 03:20:08,700
there'll be 260 miles over Southwest of

5256
03:20:13,550 --> 03:20:11,460
New Zealand and with that we want to

5257
03:20:14,870 --> 03:20:13,560
focus on the pad now as we proceed

5258
03:20:16,910 --> 03:20:14,880
through the final stretch of the

5259
03:20:19,130 --> 03:20:16,920
countdown we'll turn it over to Gary and

5260
03:20:21,230 --> 03:20:19,140
Kate at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne

5261
03:20:25,010 --> 03:20:21,240
California to take us through launch and

5262
03:20:30,230 --> 03:20:27,830
thanks Daryl the energy is certainly

5263
03:20:33,410 --> 03:20:30,240
starting to grow as we get closer and

5264
03:20:36,590 --> 03:20:33,420
closer to t0 as you can see the vehicle

5265
03:20:39,830 --> 03:20:36,600
there at pad 39a that's Falcon 9 with

5266
03:20:41,269 --> 03:20:39,840
the Dragon capsule positioned on top now

5267
03:20:43,429 --> 03:20:41,279
we're going to go through a couple of

5268
03:20:47,809 --> 03:20:43,439
things including some physical changes

5269
03:20:51,410 --> 03:20:47,819
to the pad but you will likely hear a

5270
03:20:53,389 --> 03:20:51,420
number of call outs after liftoff that

5271
03:20:56,510 --> 03:20:53,399
are basically indicative of the various

5272
03:21:08,150 --> 03:20:56,520
abort modes that Dragon passes through

5273
03:21:16,690 --> 03:21:11,210
now T minus 10 minutes SpaceX confirm

5274
03:21:25,070 --> 03:21:19,730
uh SpaceX Dragon crew displays are

5275
03:21:29,269 --> 03:21:27,230
three six copies on behalf of our entire

5276
03:21:30,650 --> 03:21:29,279
team at SpaceX we're honored we are

5277
03:21:32,450 --> 03:21:30,660
honored to have you aboard Dragon

5278
03:21:34,190 --> 03:21:32,460
capsule Endeavor today for its next trip

5279
03:21:36,130 --> 03:21:34,200
to the International Space Station we

5280
03:21:41,210 --> 03:21:36,140
wish you a great Mission good luck

5281
03:21:44,870 --> 03:21:43,309
and thank you very much to those kind

5282
03:21:47,630 --> 03:21:44,880
words we'd like to thank all the

5283
03:21:50,269 --> 03:21:47,640
trainers technicians Engineers assistant

5284
03:21:51,530 --> 03:21:50,279
makers and planners who have defined our

5285
03:21:54,230 --> 03:21:51,540
mission ahead

5286
03:21:57,050 --> 03:21:54,240
and trained us and I'm given the faith

5287
03:22:14,750 --> 03:21:57,060
in us to execute that mission and crew

5288
03:22:19,849 --> 03:22:17,269
and those words coming from the crew

5289
03:22:22,849 --> 03:22:19,859
six inside the dragon right now under

5290
03:22:24,889 --> 03:22:22,859
nine minutes from launch those final

5291
03:22:26,269 --> 03:22:24,899
instructions meaning we are in terminal

5292
03:22:28,849 --> 03:22:26,279
counts

5293
03:22:32,210 --> 03:22:28,859
Falcon 9 launched commit criteria is

5294
03:22:40,490 --> 03:22:33,650
and we're in the final stretch here

5295
03:22:45,469 --> 03:22:43,429
Kate was mentioning a series of uh

5296
03:22:47,269 --> 03:22:45,479
number and letter combinations that

5297
03:22:50,330 --> 03:22:47,279
you'll hear upon Ascent once we get to

5298
03:22:51,710 --> 03:22:50,340
that point that'll be those uh abort

5299
03:22:53,870 --> 03:22:51,720
different abort modes that we'll be

5300
03:22:56,269 --> 03:22:53,880
tracking throughout the ascent there's

5301
03:22:59,030 --> 03:22:56,279
an alpha and and Bravo on the first

5302
03:23:00,230 --> 03:22:59,040
stage and there's 2A through 2E on the

5303
03:23:03,590 --> 03:23:00,240
second stage

5304
03:23:05,630 --> 03:23:03,600
as we track it up the Eastern seaboard

5305
03:23:07,969 --> 03:23:05,640
right now coming up on T minus eight

5306
03:23:10,610 --> 03:23:07,979
minutes the next major Milestone that

5307
03:23:13,429 --> 03:23:10,620
we'll be hearing uh will be about the

5308
03:23:16,729 --> 03:23:13,439
engine chill

5309
03:23:19,490 --> 03:23:16,739
that's right that's a important step of

5310
03:23:23,809 --> 03:23:19,500
the countdown that's basically when T

5311
03:23:26,750 --> 03:23:23,819
minus seven minutes we will open the

5312
03:23:28,610 --> 03:23:26,760
pre-valves of the engines to allow a

5313
03:23:31,969 --> 03:23:28,620
little bit of the super chilled liquid

5314
03:23:34,550 --> 03:23:31,979
oxygen into the Merlin turbo pumps prior

5315
03:23:36,349 --> 03:23:34,560
to the full flow of locks that occurs

5316
03:23:38,929 --> 03:23:36,359
during ignition now that's important

5317
03:23:41,750 --> 03:23:38,939
because at this point in time all the

5318
03:23:43,969 --> 03:23:41,760
hardware is at ambient temperature so by

5319
03:23:45,290 --> 03:23:43,979
opening the pre-valves and flowing a

5320
03:23:48,590 --> 03:23:45,300
little bit of that super chilled

5321
03:23:51,290 --> 03:23:48,600
intensified liquid oxygen helps prepare

5322
03:23:55,610 --> 03:23:51,300
the hardware for that colder temperature

5323
03:23:57,889 --> 03:23:55,620
when the full flow of locks occurs

5324
03:24:11,090 --> 03:23:57,899
we should hear that call out in about 10

5325
03:24:11,100 --> 03:24:14,630
engine chill

5326
03:24:18,290 --> 03:24:16,670
there's that call out indicating that

5327
03:24:19,550 --> 03:24:18,300
those pre-valves have been opened and

5328
03:24:21,530 --> 03:24:19,560
now there's a little bit of that super

5329
03:24:24,110 --> 03:24:21,540
chilled liquid oxygen flowing through

5330
03:24:28,849 --> 03:24:24,120
the hardware uh basically chilling it

5331
03:24:34,250 --> 03:24:30,050
that's right in the meantime we're

5332
03:24:36,229 --> 03:24:34,260
tracking fuel on the vehicle stage 2 rp1

5333
03:24:39,349 --> 03:24:36,239
or the fuel on the second stage is

5334
03:24:42,469 --> 03:24:39,359
complete it's one of the earlier tanks

5335
03:24:45,229 --> 03:24:42,479
to be completely filled in the countdown

5336
03:24:47,750 --> 03:24:45,239
but as we are continue to track the fuel

5337
03:24:51,889 --> 03:24:47,760
loading the next thing will be the stage

5338
03:24:55,910 --> 03:24:53,990
that's coming up here in about 15

5339
03:24:57,830 --> 03:24:55,920
seconds

5340
03:25:01,250 --> 03:24:57,840
later in the countdown we'll be tracking

5341
03:25:05,090 --> 03:25:01,260
the tanks of

5342
03:25:08,269 --> 03:25:05,100
oxidizer being completely filled

5343
03:25:11,330 --> 03:25:08,279
that rp1 load is now complete on the

5344
03:25:14,929 --> 03:25:11,340
first stage so at this point in time all

5345
03:25:18,830 --> 03:25:14,939
rp1 is now on Falcon 9 both for the

5346
03:25:23,510 --> 03:25:21,650
locks load continues wrapping up at

5347
03:25:25,729 --> 03:25:23,520
about T minus three minutes for first

5348
03:25:31,010 --> 03:25:25,739
stage and T minus two minutes for the

5349
03:25:36,110 --> 03:25:33,170
coming up we'll hear the call for Dragon

5350
03:25:37,729 --> 03:25:36,120
Tech SpaceX for awareness we are seeing

5351
03:25:39,830 --> 03:25:37,739
a t-tab load issue and our

5352
03:25:41,870 --> 03:25:39,840
troubleshooting we are currently still

5353
03:25:44,090 --> 03:25:41,880
go but have further evaluation before

5354
03:25:53,750 --> 03:25:44,100
making a final decision we'll get to a

5355
03:25:58,550 --> 03:25:55,670
that call out there just communicating

5356
03:26:01,910 --> 03:25:58,560
to the crew that the launch teams are

5357
03:26:03,969 --> 03:26:01,920
troubleshooting a small issue with t-tep

5358
03:26:06,410 --> 03:26:03,979
and they will have some more information

5359
03:26:08,269 --> 03:26:06,420
for the crew and the next couple of

5360
03:26:10,010 --> 03:26:08,279
minutes that t-tab as I mentioned

5361
03:26:11,450 --> 03:26:10,020
earlier is in configure for terminal

5362
03:26:14,210 --> 03:26:11,460
count

5363
03:26:16,190 --> 03:26:14,220
and there's that call pressurizing for

5364
03:26:18,110 --> 03:26:16,200
strong back retract a lot of information

5365
03:26:20,929 --> 03:26:18,120
coming through right now just indicating

5366
03:26:24,710 --> 03:26:20,939
that uh that dragon is now on internal

5367
03:26:27,710 --> 03:26:24,720
power and now we are basically preparing

5368
03:26:29,690 --> 03:26:27,720
to retract the strong back which is the

5369
03:26:32,210 --> 03:26:29,700
white structure there to the right of

5370
03:26:34,429 --> 03:26:32,220
the rocket we will see the clamps open

5371
03:26:36,530 --> 03:26:34,439
just under those clamps just under the

5372
03:26:39,830 --> 03:26:36,540
dragon trunk those will begin to open

5373
03:26:42,370 --> 03:26:39,840
and the strong backed will retract away

5374
03:26:45,050 --> 03:26:42,380
from the vehicle

5375
03:26:46,729 --> 03:26:45,060
yeah that's right we'll see those clamps

5376
03:26:49,550 --> 03:26:46,739
on the top of the structure there just

5377
03:26:52,790 --> 03:26:49,560
under the dragon's trunk which you can

5378
03:26:54,769 --> 03:26:52,800
identify by the black solar panels on

5379
03:26:56,330 --> 03:26:54,779
the left of the base of the capsule

5380
03:26:58,790 --> 03:26:56,340
itself and to the right

5381
03:27:01,429 --> 03:26:58,800
and then the structure itself will lean

5382
03:27:03,410 --> 03:27:01,439
about two degrees uh and then it will

5383
03:27:05,630 --> 03:27:03,420
retract the rest of the way once Dragon

5384
03:27:08,809 --> 03:27:05,640
actually hits that t0 Mark and lifts off

5385
03:27:12,469 --> 03:27:08,819
we're seeing those clamps

5386
03:27:16,849 --> 03:27:15,410
it's a two degree lean will be very

5387
03:27:18,349 --> 03:27:16,859
subtle

5388
03:27:22,190 --> 03:27:18,359
and then you'll see it more when we hit

5389
03:27:27,950 --> 03:27:24,590
that's right at liftoff Falcon 9 well

5390
03:27:30,050 --> 03:27:27,960
excuse me the te will actually retract

5391
03:27:33,910 --> 03:27:30,060
to 45 degrees to clear the way for

5392
03:27:36,710 --> 03:27:33,920
falcon 9. that te is basically what

5393
03:27:39,170 --> 03:27:36,720
attaches has the umbilicals that attach

5394
03:27:49,670 --> 03:27:39,180
to the vehicle that provide Power

5395
03:27:49,680 --> 03:27:56,090
relax

5396
03:28:01,070 --> 03:27:58,849
now coming up in 10 seconds will be

5397
03:28:24,110 --> 03:28:01,080
listening for a call on stage one liquid

5398
03:28:38,269 --> 03:28:25,969
dragon is in terminal account and on

5399
03:28:44,030 --> 03:28:40,729
it's minus two minutes 30 seconds on

5400
03:28:46,550 --> 03:28:44,040
countdown one hold hold hold hold

5401
03:28:55,910 --> 03:28:46,560
we are standing down to to do a t-tab

5402
03:28:59,690 --> 03:28:57,769
as you just heard we have report has

5403
03:29:02,410 --> 03:28:59,700
started

5404
03:29:05,330 --> 03:29:02,420
as you just heard we have a hold tonight

5405
03:29:08,450 --> 03:29:05,340
due to the t-tep issue that I mentioned

5406
03:29:10,670 --> 03:29:08,460
prior and the Dragon SpaceX with that

5407
03:29:15,170 --> 03:29:10,680
call from LD your go to step into five

5408
03:29:21,950 --> 03:29:18,229
five decimal 100 launch scrub

5409
03:29:26,330 --> 03:29:24,590
as with everything else we are prepared

5410
03:29:28,550 --> 03:29:26,340
for all scenarios including

5411
03:29:30,650 --> 03:29:28,560
unfortunately as we've seen tonight a

5412
03:29:36,110 --> 03:29:30,660
scrub so the teens are now stepping into

5413
03:29:40,250 --> 03:29:38,389
it's right again it was uh the teams

5414
03:29:43,429 --> 03:29:40,260
were tracking and a ground issue with

5415
03:29:46,309 --> 03:29:43,439
t-tep that's the ignition fluid uh that

5416
03:29:49,729 --> 03:29:46,319
actually Sparks with the oxidizer and

5417
03:29:52,670 --> 03:29:49,739
allows the engines to fire

5418
03:29:53,870 --> 03:29:52,680
the teams were tracking this issue and

5419
03:29:57,229 --> 03:29:53,880
so we're in a nominal scrub

5420
03:30:01,370 --> 03:29:59,570
we'll start to see sort of the sequence

5421
03:30:06,349 --> 03:30:01,380
of

5422
03:30:09,650 --> 03:30:06,359
Milestones we've been tracking as part

5423
03:30:17,210 --> 03:30:14,450
until the crew access arm swings back to

5424
03:30:20,450 --> 03:30:17,220
the side hatch and so the actual the

5425
03:30:37,849 --> 03:30:20,460
crew can egress the vehicle as part of a

5426
03:30:43,910 --> 03:30:40,309
so for those of you just joining at

5427
03:30:45,710 --> 03:30:43,920
about just just under two t t minus two

5428
03:30:49,790 --> 03:30:45,720
and a half minutes we unfortunately had

5429
03:30:51,710 --> 03:30:49,800
a scrub due to a t-tep issue uh with the

5430
03:30:54,410 --> 03:30:51,720
ground systems

5431
03:30:57,410 --> 03:30:54,420
so as Gary mentioned we are in a nominal

5432
03:30:59,950 --> 03:30:57,420
scrub configuration

5433
03:31:03,769 --> 03:30:59,960
there we have our procedures now being

5434
03:31:06,950 --> 03:31:03,779
enacted to basically reverse all the

5435
03:31:09,349 --> 03:31:06,960
progress that we made this evening

5436
03:31:11,750 --> 03:31:09,359
including propellant offload and

5437
03:31:13,849 --> 03:31:11,760
bringing that crew access arm

5438
03:31:18,050 --> 03:31:13,859
back into position and getting the

5439
03:31:22,910 --> 03:31:20,570
up into that point everything was

5440
03:31:25,790 --> 03:31:22,920
looking good the ground team had

5441
03:31:34,250 --> 03:31:25,800
reported that issue I believe it was

5442
03:31:41,630 --> 03:31:36,170
at this point in time the launch Escape

5443
03:31:45,710 --> 03:31:43,250
but the crew continuing to look

5444
03:31:57,830 --> 03:31:45,720
comfortable there inside

5445
03:32:03,290 --> 03:32:00,650
and dragon LD on countdown one at this

5446
03:32:04,849 --> 03:32:03,300
time our offloads are underway vehicle

5447
03:32:07,070 --> 03:32:04,859
is safe and proceeding not only with

5448
03:32:13,350 --> 03:32:07,080
offload expecting about a 50 minute

5449
03:32:16,250 --> 03:32:15,050
[Music]

5450
03:32:17,630 --> 03:32:16,260
ing we'll be sitting here waiting

5451
03:32:19,849 --> 03:32:17,640
tonight

5452
03:32:22,070 --> 03:32:19,859
so it will be a very methodical process

5453
03:32:24,229 --> 03:32:22,080
to offload the Falcon 9 with the

5454
03:32:26,809 --> 03:32:24,239
propellant and oxidizer

5455
03:32:27,769 --> 03:32:26,819
you can still you can see some of that

5456
03:32:30,229 --> 03:32:27,779
uh

5457
03:32:33,050 --> 03:32:30,239
some of that oxygen billowing off still

5458
03:32:36,769 --> 03:32:33,060
that'll be part of the sequence they've

5459
03:32:39,410 --> 03:32:36,779
also re-enabled auxiliary power to buy

5460
03:32:41,330 --> 03:32:39,420
umbilical to the dragon as they work

5461
03:32:43,849 --> 03:32:41,340
their way through the nominal scrub

5462
03:32:46,130 --> 03:32:43,859
timeline again that's a 50 minute

5463
03:32:48,410 --> 03:32:46,140
offload for those again that are joining

5464
03:32:51,530 --> 03:32:48,420
we are in a scrub situation just under

5465
03:32:54,769 --> 03:32:51,540
two minutes and 30 seconds from launch

5466
03:32:58,370 --> 03:32:54,779
teams declared a scrub due to tracking a

5467
03:33:02,389 --> 03:32:58,380
an uh ground issue with uh t-tep this is

5468
03:33:04,969 --> 03:33:02,399
the ignition fluid that's used uh for

5469
03:33:07,670 --> 03:33:04,979
the first and second stages that ignites

5470
03:33:12,650 --> 03:33:07,680
the oxidizer for uh igniting the engines

5471
03:33:14,269 --> 03:33:12,660
themselves to lift dragon and into space

5472
03:33:16,130 --> 03:33:14,279
they were tracking this issue and

5473
03:33:18,469 --> 03:33:16,140
declared a scrub again at the two minute

5474
03:33:21,050 --> 03:33:18,479
30 second Mark so we're going through a

5475
03:33:25,610 --> 03:33:21,060
nominal uh scrub

5476
03:33:29,929 --> 03:33:27,950
you can see the strong back clamps have

5477
03:33:33,050 --> 03:33:29,939
been re-enabled

5478
03:33:35,690 --> 03:33:33,060
in this view right here

5479
03:33:38,630 --> 03:33:35,700
after we on the offload prop we'll see

5480
03:33:40,790 --> 03:33:38,640
the crew access arm swing back to get

5481
03:33:42,769 --> 03:33:40,800
the crew out in the meantime the launch

5482
03:33:45,650 --> 03:33:42,779
Escape system

5483
03:33:47,389 --> 03:33:45,660
which is enables the super draco's to

5484
03:33:49,610 --> 03:33:47,399
fire should there be any anomaly with

5485
03:33:51,229 --> 03:33:49,620
the Falcon 9 during the offload

5486
03:33:53,389 --> 03:33:51,239
procedure the screw the crew does they

5487
03:33:55,849 --> 03:33:53,399
have the ability to to perform a pad

5488
03:33:59,809 --> 03:33:57,950
right now uh the ground teams are

5489
03:35:21,290 --> 03:33:59,819
tracking no issues everything going

5490
03:35:26,389 --> 03:35:23,090
all right for those who are just joining

5491
03:35:29,210 --> 03:35:26,399
as a reminder we are in a uh scrub at a

5492
03:35:32,330 --> 03:35:29,220
just under two minutes 30 seconds from

5493
03:35:34,070 --> 03:35:32,340
launch the ground teams declared a scrub

5494
03:35:37,429 --> 03:35:34,080
as they were tracking its uh ground

5495
03:35:39,769 --> 03:35:37,439
issue with the t-tep ignition fluid

5496
03:35:41,630 --> 03:35:39,779
and as a precaution made a scrub for

5497
03:35:43,070 --> 03:35:41,640
today's launch as we were counting down

5498
03:35:45,050 --> 03:35:43,080
to t0

5499
03:35:46,550 --> 03:35:45,060
now we're working our way through

5500
03:35:49,010 --> 03:35:46,560
nominal

5501
03:35:52,309 --> 03:35:49,020
um scrub uh procedures which include

5502
03:35:55,790 --> 03:35:52,319
offloading the fuel and oxidizer that

5503
03:35:58,790 --> 03:35:55,800
are loaded on the Falcon 9 right now

5504
03:36:01,670 --> 03:35:58,800
you can see we made our way through the

5505
03:36:03,469 --> 03:36:01,680
countdown to a strong back retract that

5506
03:36:07,070 --> 03:36:03,479
has been put back into place and the

5507
03:36:11,210 --> 03:36:07,080
clamps just under the trunk of dragon

5508
03:36:13,910 --> 03:36:11,220
are now uh in their configuration that

5509
03:36:14,990 --> 03:36:13,920
they were prior to that part of the

5510
03:36:16,910 --> 03:36:15,000
countdown

5511
03:36:20,510 --> 03:36:16,920
and Kate we're making our way through

5512
03:36:23,450 --> 03:36:20,520
offloading that uh falcon 9.

5513
03:36:27,170 --> 03:36:23,460
that's right in total that prop offload

5514
03:36:29,090 --> 03:36:27,180
is expected to take 50 minutes 5-0 so

5515
03:36:30,950 --> 03:36:29,100
unfortunately at this point in time

5516
03:36:33,710 --> 03:36:30,960
there's not a whole lot that the crew

5517
03:36:36,769 --> 03:36:33,720
there can do except patiently wait

5518
03:36:39,830 --> 03:36:36,779
I could imagine that they might be a

5519
03:36:41,389 --> 03:36:39,840
little sad as of because the otherwise

5520
03:36:44,630 --> 03:36:41,399
they they would be in space at this

5521
03:36:46,910 --> 03:36:44,640
point effectively but it right now they

5522
03:36:48,650 --> 03:36:46,920
as you can see they are just sitting

5523
03:36:51,769 --> 03:36:48,660
back and relaxing

5524
03:36:54,710 --> 03:36:51,779
um as the Falcon 9 teams on the ground

5525
03:36:57,710 --> 03:36:54,720
continue to keep them updated as Gary

5526
03:37:00,410 --> 03:36:57,720
said this is a nominal scrub uh

5527
03:37:02,809 --> 03:37:00,420
procedure or configuration we have

5528
03:37:04,990 --> 03:37:02,819
procedures listing out every step of

5529
03:37:07,910 --> 03:37:05,000
this so right now we are basically

5530
03:37:11,269 --> 03:37:07,920
unfueling Falcon 9 from both the first

5531
03:37:14,510 --> 03:37:11,279
and second stages as Falcon 9 was nearly

5532
03:37:16,790 --> 03:37:14,520
fully loaded at the time of this scrub

5533
03:37:19,130 --> 03:37:16,800
so as this continues we will see some

5534
03:37:22,550 --> 03:37:19,140
puffs of white clouds like you just saw

5535
03:37:26,870 --> 03:37:22,560
there live as that detanking effectively

5536
03:37:30,650 --> 03:37:26,880
is underway we will also see the crew

5537
03:37:35,090 --> 03:37:30,660
access arm go back into the service

5538
03:37:38,269 --> 03:37:35,100
position that will enable the basically

5539
03:37:41,630 --> 03:37:38,279
the pad team to re-enter the pad go back

5540
03:37:44,990 --> 03:37:41,640
up and help the four astronauts that are

5541
03:37:47,769 --> 03:37:45,000
currently there in the capsule basically

5542
03:37:50,090 --> 03:37:47,779
unbuckle and and and and

5543
03:37:52,130 --> 03:37:50,100
get out of the capsule and make their

5544
03:37:53,870 --> 03:37:52,140
way back down to the ground

5545
03:37:56,590 --> 03:37:53,880
and it is going to be a methodical

5546
03:37:59,030 --> 03:37:56,600
process like you said Kate the uh

5547
03:38:01,610 --> 03:37:59,040
through the fueling that began at T

5548
03:38:03,290 --> 03:38:01,620
minus 35 minutes we made our way uh

5549
03:38:05,630 --> 03:38:03,300
quite a bit through the timeline and

5550
03:38:08,269 --> 03:38:05,640
those tanks were pretty full so the

5551
03:38:10,790 --> 03:38:08,279
ground teams estimated a 50-minute 5-0

5552
03:38:13,010 --> 03:38:10,800
minute offload of that fuel meantime in

5553
03:38:14,690 --> 03:38:13,020
the meantime the crew 6 astronauts are

5554
03:38:16,429 --> 03:38:14,700
in a passive State they'll be tracking

5555
03:38:18,349 --> 03:38:16,439
the fuel offloading process and

5556
03:38:20,030 --> 03:38:18,359
listening to the communications from the

5557
03:38:22,309 --> 03:38:20,040
ground teams giving them status updates

5558
03:38:24,349 --> 03:38:22,319
along the way but we are in a nominal

5559
03:38:26,929 --> 03:38:24,359
configuration in the meantime they've

5560
03:38:29,030 --> 03:38:26,939
taken the dragon Falcon 9 off of

5561
03:38:31,490 --> 03:38:29,040
internal power and re-enabled auxiliary

5562
03:38:33,889 --> 03:38:31,500
power back into the vehicle as they

5563
03:38:36,050 --> 03:38:33,899
continue to go through this process and

5564
03:38:37,250 --> 03:38:36,060
like you said Kate it'll be uh it'll be

5565
03:38:40,130 --> 03:38:37,260
a little bit and then we'll see that

5566
03:38:42,469 --> 03:38:40,140
crew access arm swing back and they'll

5567
03:38:44,750 --> 03:38:42,479
re-axis the side hatch if you were

5568
03:38:46,250 --> 03:38:44,760
following Along on our coverage they

5569
03:38:47,809 --> 03:38:46,260
walked down the crew access arm and

5570
03:38:50,030 --> 03:38:47,819
Enter the Dragon through that side hatch

5571
03:38:51,469 --> 03:38:50,040
they'll be exiting the same way uh in

5572
03:38:54,410 --> 03:38:51,479
the meantime through this whole process

5573
03:38:56,990 --> 03:38:54,420
the crew and the dragon itself will

5574
03:39:00,349 --> 03:38:57,000
remain with the l-e-s the launch Escape

5575
03:39:02,450 --> 03:39:00,359
system armed uh so the if in any event

5576
03:39:04,370 --> 03:39:02,460
something were to happen as part of the

5577
03:39:06,530 --> 03:39:04,380
offloading process they'll be able to

5578
03:39:08,090 --> 03:39:06,540
escape using the super Draco engines the

5579
03:39:10,250 --> 03:39:08,100
eight super draco's that are on the

5580
03:39:13,670 --> 03:39:10,260
dragon uh it'll be a pad aboard over

5581
03:39:15,650 --> 03:39:13,680
into the Atlantic Ocean but for now all

5582
03:39:17,389 --> 03:39:15,660
the ground teams are tracking that

5583
03:39:18,950 --> 03:39:17,399
everything is nominal the fuel offload

5584
03:39:21,050 --> 03:39:18,960
is going as planned as part of a normal

5585
03:39:22,490 --> 03:39:21,060
scrub and we're just continuing to

5586
03:39:24,469 --> 03:39:22,500
follow along

5587
03:39:27,410 --> 03:39:24,479
that's right and one thing I want to

5588
03:39:29,330 --> 03:39:27,420
mention although this is not what we had

5589
03:39:31,250 --> 03:39:29,340
hoped to happen today

5590
03:39:34,670 --> 03:39:31,260
um and while we said that this is a

5591
03:39:37,370 --> 03:39:34,680
nominal abort configuration technically

5592
03:39:39,710 --> 03:39:37,380
the crew and the launch teams have

5593
03:39:43,790 --> 03:39:39,720
already practiced this very similar

5594
03:39:45,950 --> 03:39:43,800
scenario on Thursday February 23rd the

5595
03:39:49,550 --> 03:39:45,960
integrated launch operations teams along

5596
03:39:52,010 --> 03:39:49,560
with the astronauts performed a full dry

5597
03:39:54,170 --> 03:39:52,020
dress rehearsal which basically means a

5598
03:39:57,650 --> 03:39:54,180
a total dress rehearsal including suit

5599
03:39:59,990 --> 03:39:57,660
up transporting to the pad going up the

5600
03:40:02,389 --> 03:40:00,000
elevators in the crew Tower down the

5601
03:40:05,690 --> 03:40:02,399
crew access arm and ingressing into the

5602
03:40:08,570 --> 03:40:05,700
capsule and basically doing a full

5603
03:40:11,750 --> 03:40:08,580
rehearsal of launch day as if it were

5604
03:40:13,010 --> 03:40:11,760
real but no no propellant involved so

5605
03:40:14,450 --> 03:40:13,020
that's why it's called a dry dress

5606
03:40:17,630 --> 03:40:14,460
rehearsal because there was no

5607
03:40:19,190 --> 03:40:17,640
propellant involved so technically this

5608
03:40:22,130 --> 03:40:19,200
is very similar to what they would have

5609
03:40:25,910 --> 03:40:22,140
done on Thursday in terms of simulating

5610
03:40:29,510 --> 03:40:25,920
that that scrub and basically having the

5611
03:40:31,550 --> 03:40:29,520
teams go back up into the crew Tower and

5612
03:40:33,889 --> 03:40:31,560
retrieve the astronauts from the capsule

5613
03:40:36,710 --> 03:40:33,899
so at this point in time we are

5614
03:40:39,170 --> 03:40:36,720
following along with the procedures for

5615
03:40:42,170 --> 03:40:39,180
this unfortunate Scrub but everything

5616
03:40:45,290 --> 03:40:42,180
continues to track nominally for this

5617
03:40:49,010 --> 03:40:45,300
activity right now for those that have

5618
03:40:51,469 --> 03:40:49,020
recently joined we had a hold called on

5619
03:40:54,050 --> 03:40:51,479
the countdown at about T minus two and a

5620
03:40:56,210 --> 03:40:54,060
half minutes the crew had reported

5621
03:40:59,330 --> 03:40:56,220
around T minus five minutes excuse me

5622
03:41:01,729 --> 03:40:59,340
the ground teams had the SpaceX round

5623
03:41:05,210 --> 03:41:01,739
teams had reported around T minus five

5624
03:41:06,710 --> 03:41:05,220
minutes an issue with the t-tep which is

5625
03:41:18,349 --> 03:41:06,720
the

5626
03:41:20,990 --> 03:41:18,359
teams called that hold at T minus two

5627
03:41:24,290 --> 03:41:21,000
and a half minutes and then proceeded

5628
03:41:27,290 --> 03:41:24,300
into nominal off detanking or or

5629
03:41:29,450 --> 03:41:27,300
basically unloading the vehicle with all

5630
03:41:32,150 --> 03:41:29,460
of its propellants given the fact that

5631
03:41:35,990 --> 03:41:32,160
that occurred at T minus two and a half

5632
03:41:37,790 --> 03:41:36,000
minutes the majority of the propellants

5633
03:41:39,830 --> 03:41:37,800
were already on the vehicle with the

5634
03:41:43,450 --> 03:41:39,840
propellant load propellant offload

5635
03:41:43,460 --> 03:41:47,929
oh straight six dragon go ahead

5636
03:41:51,469 --> 03:41:49,610
offload they're proceeding nominally

5637
03:41:55,849 --> 03:41:51,479
anticipating another half hour until

5638
03:42:02,210 --> 03:41:57,590
I understand like in about a half hour

5639
03:42:06,349 --> 03:42:04,250
all right so good news there coming from

5640
03:42:09,170 --> 03:42:06,359
the ground teams indicating that we have

5641
03:42:12,170 --> 03:42:09,180
about 30 minutes left of the propellant

5642
03:42:13,610 --> 03:42:12,180
offloading we heard Commander Steve

5643
03:42:15,889 --> 03:42:13,620
Bowen

5644
03:42:17,389 --> 03:42:15,899
um sounding pretty unbothered by

5645
03:42:19,610 --> 03:42:17,399
everything like I mentioned before

5646
03:42:22,490 --> 03:42:19,620
everything is written down in the

5647
03:42:24,889 --> 03:42:22,500
procedure they practiced this very

5648
03:42:27,590 --> 03:42:24,899
similar egress procedure during Thursday

5649
03:42:30,229 --> 03:42:27,600
night's dry dress rehearsal so all in

5650
03:42:33,290 --> 03:42:30,239
all everything continuing nominally

5651
03:42:36,170 --> 03:42:33,300
there for this these next steps as I

5652
03:42:38,269 --> 03:42:36,180
mentioned before we will see eventually

5653
03:42:40,550 --> 03:42:38,279
the crew access arm swing back into the

5654
03:42:44,809 --> 03:42:40,560
service position and we will have the

5655
03:42:47,210 --> 03:42:44,819
the pad teams re-enter the the pad area

5656
03:42:50,450 --> 03:42:47,220
and and basically enable the astronauts

5657
03:42:55,910 --> 03:42:52,790
I also mentioned earlier that our backup

5658
03:43:00,170 --> 03:42:55,920
launch opportunity is about the same

5659
03:43:07,130 --> 03:43:00,180
time tomorrow roughly 24 hours after our

5660
03:43:11,990 --> 03:43:09,410
due to the fact that we were launching

5661
03:43:13,610 --> 03:43:12,000
the crew that you see there on the right

5662
03:43:15,050 --> 03:43:13,620
hand side of your screen they were

5663
03:43:19,309 --> 03:43:15,060
headed to the International Space

5664
03:43:21,590 --> 03:43:19,319
Station as such that is down to the very

5665
03:43:22,849 --> 03:43:21,600
second in terms of catching up to the

5666
03:43:25,309 --> 03:43:22,859
International Space Station when

5667
03:43:28,849 --> 03:43:25,319
launching from uh from Kennedy Space

5668
03:43:31,610 --> 03:43:28,859
Center so when it comes to crew launches

5669
03:43:35,030 --> 03:43:31,620
there's only one shot and so therefore

5670
03:43:37,250 --> 03:43:35,040
due to that scrub that was called at T

5671
03:43:47,330 --> 03:43:37,260
minus two and a half minutes that was

5672
03:43:52,250 --> 03:43:49,309
that's right Kate and as you mentioned

5673
03:43:53,750 --> 03:43:52,260
that scrub would be 24 hours so we'll

5674
03:43:56,690 --> 03:43:53,760
get to do this all over again you

5675
03:43:59,750 --> 03:43:56,700
mentioned the dry dress rehearsal uh

5676
03:44:01,790 --> 03:43:59,760
with a nominal offload of the fuel for

5677
03:44:03,469 --> 03:44:01,800
this particular scrub this is almost

5678
03:44:06,229 --> 03:44:03,479
like a wet dress rehearsal just taking

5679
03:44:08,090 --> 03:44:06,239
it one step uh further as you mentioned

5680
03:44:10,429 --> 03:44:08,100
for the dry dress they did everything

5681
03:44:13,370 --> 03:44:10,439
that we saw today driving out to the pad

5682
03:44:15,410 --> 03:44:13,380
going up the elevators and making their

5683
03:44:17,510 --> 03:44:15,420
way into the vehicle buckling up the

5684
03:44:19,910 --> 03:44:17,520
seats rotated and they made their way

5685
03:44:21,950 --> 03:44:19,920
far into the countdown but but before

5686
03:44:24,110 --> 03:44:21,960
they started fueling the vehicle now

5687
03:44:26,750 --> 03:44:24,120
they feel the vehicle prior to launch

5688
03:44:29,150 --> 03:44:26,760
and again we're following a scrub at the

5689
03:44:33,590 --> 03:44:29,160
that was occurred at about two minutes

5690
03:44:36,590 --> 03:44:33,600
and 30 seconds prior to the t0 time uh

5691
03:44:39,170 --> 03:44:36,600
due to tracking a uh a ground issue with

5692
03:44:42,110 --> 03:44:39,180
the t-tab ignition fluid that's used on

5693
03:44:44,690 --> 03:44:42,120
the engines to ignite them and uh fire

5694
03:44:46,370 --> 03:44:44,700
the crew into orbit and eventually

5695
03:44:47,330 --> 03:44:46,380
catching up with the International Space

5696
03:44:49,550 --> 03:44:47,340
Station

5697
03:44:52,010 --> 03:44:49,560
but as they were continuing to look at

5698
03:44:54,590 --> 03:44:52,020
this issue decided to declare a scrub

5699
03:44:58,070 --> 03:44:54,600
for today that scrub is again a nominal

5700
03:44:59,570 --> 03:44:58,080
scrub so we'll be going through uh the

5701
03:45:01,490 --> 03:44:59,580
scrub procedures which include the

5702
03:45:03,290 --> 03:45:01,500
detanking they seem to be going a little

5703
03:45:04,790 --> 03:45:03,300
faster than originally predicted they

5704
03:45:07,030 --> 03:45:04,800
were called out to the crew about five

5705
03:45:10,490 --> 03:45:07,040
zero minutes now we're inside 30 minutes

5706
03:45:14,809 --> 03:45:10,500
from detanking the Falcon 9 that means

5707
03:45:17,150 --> 03:45:14,819
the rp1 refined kerosene and the liquid

5708
03:45:20,090 --> 03:45:17,160
oxygen that's that the densified liquid

5709
03:45:21,950 --> 03:45:20,100
oxygen that's on board is uh being

5710
03:45:22,849 --> 03:45:21,960
brought back into the lines that fuel

5711
03:45:25,790 --> 03:45:22,859
them

5712
03:45:28,010 --> 03:45:25,800
so we'll be emptying those tanks you can

5713
03:45:30,410 --> 03:45:28,020
still see some of the oxygen some of the

5714
03:45:33,050 --> 03:45:30,420
gaseous oxygen billowing off the Falcon

5715
03:45:34,370 --> 03:45:33,060
9 rocket itself so there is a little bit

5716
03:45:36,530 --> 03:45:34,380
of fuel in there you're seeing some of

5717
03:45:38,630 --> 03:45:36,540
the Puffs that are part of the detanking

5718
03:45:41,090 --> 03:45:38,640
process in the meantime just a reminder

5719
03:45:42,469 --> 03:45:41,100
that that launch a skate system is armed

5720
03:45:44,450 --> 03:45:42,479
through the whole thing just to keep the

5721
03:45:46,070 --> 03:45:44,460
crew safe but you see for the crew

5722
03:45:48,110 --> 03:45:46,080
themselves it's a very passive

5723
03:45:50,150 --> 03:45:48,120
experience the launch scrub all of these

5724
03:45:51,889 --> 03:45:50,160
commands being issued by the teams on

5725
03:45:52,969 --> 03:45:51,899
the ground

5726
03:45:56,510 --> 03:45:52,979
um

5727
03:45:58,670 --> 03:45:56,520
they'll continue to wait until and get

5728
03:46:01,370 --> 03:45:58,680
status updates from the ground teams

5729
03:46:04,250 --> 03:46:01,380
right now they are connected by

5730
03:46:05,870 --> 03:46:04,260
umbilical we did hear that as part of

5731
03:46:08,090 --> 03:46:05,880
the normal Countdown the Falcon 9

5732
03:46:09,950 --> 03:46:08,100
transferred to internal power but they

5733
03:46:12,290 --> 03:46:09,960
re-enable the auxiliary power back into

5734
03:46:13,849 --> 03:46:12,300
the vehicle so through the Decay tanking

5735
03:46:17,030 --> 03:46:13,859
process we're getting power from the

5736
03:46:19,610 --> 03:46:17,040
ground and not relying on the uh on the

5737
03:46:21,469 --> 03:46:19,620
batteries inside the vehicles

5738
03:46:23,870 --> 03:46:21,479
so we can continue to work through this

5739
03:46:32,570 --> 03:46:28,309
again Steve Bowen Woody hoberg Sultan

5740
03:46:35,030 --> 03:46:32,580
almiati and Andre finayov on board

5741
03:46:38,450 --> 03:46:35,040
crew Dragon Endeavor now passively

5742
03:46:40,610 --> 03:46:38,460
waiting uh for the scrub process

5743
03:46:43,190 --> 03:46:40,620
detaking fuel first this is going to be

5744
03:46:45,349 --> 03:46:43,200
one of the lengthier processes before

5745
03:46:48,050 --> 03:46:45,359
the crew access arm swings back and

5746
03:46:49,370 --> 03:46:48,060
allows the crew to egress or exit the

5747
03:46:50,990 --> 03:46:49,380
dragon vehicle

5748
03:46:53,769 --> 03:46:51,000
and get back on the ground we'll do the

5749
03:46:55,969 --> 03:46:53,779
same thing again and in about 24 hours

5750
03:46:58,910 --> 03:46:55,979
witnessing the same series of events

5751
03:47:01,429 --> 03:46:58,920
suiting up in the suit room before going

5752
03:47:02,450 --> 03:47:01,439
down uh and making their way over to the

5753
03:47:04,070 --> 03:47:02,460
pad

5754
03:47:07,150 --> 03:47:04,080
via Tesla

5755
03:47:10,670 --> 03:47:07,160
until they make their way up the

5756
03:47:12,410 --> 03:47:10,680
launch Tower the elevator is over there

5757
03:47:26,510 --> 03:47:12,420
and make their way back into the same

5758
03:47:32,150 --> 03:47:28,849
we'll continue to follow along and give

5759
03:47:35,269 --> 03:47:32,160
you updates as we hear them right now uh

5760
03:47:37,429 --> 03:47:35,279
really it's just the detanking process

5761
03:47:38,929 --> 03:47:37,439
which is quite a lengthy process so

5762
03:47:41,570 --> 03:47:38,939
we'll continue to keep you updated there

5763
03:47:44,510 --> 03:47:41,580
that is still underway that's one of the

5764
03:47:53,929 --> 03:47:44,520
longer events that occur as part of a

5765
03:47:58,309 --> 03:47:57,290

sultan almiati

5769
03:48:14,450 --> 03:48:11,570
we'll continue to follow along through

5770
03:48:18,469 --> 03:48:16,490
but from here over in Hawthorne we're

5771
03:48:20,150 --> 03:48:18,479
now going to toss it back over to the

5772
03:48:23,090 --> 03:48:20,160
Kennedy Space Center

5773
03:48:25,910 --> 03:48:23,100
uh where again we scrubbed at about two

5774
03:48:27,950 --> 03:48:25,920
minutes 30 seconds to take us through uh

5775
03:48:30,889 --> 03:48:27,960
and continue to give us updates along

5776
03:48:33,110 --> 03:48:30,899
the scrub process Daryl

5777
03:48:35,030 --> 03:48:33,120
all right thanks so much Gary

5778
03:48:36,229 --> 03:48:35,040
back here at the Kennedy Space Center in

5779
03:48:38,750 --> 03:48:36,239
Florida

5780
03:48:43,190 --> 03:48:38,760
I'm Daryl nail and I'm with crew 3

5781
03:48:45,349 --> 03:48:43,200
Commander NASA astronaut rajachari

5782
03:48:47,929 --> 03:48:45,359
and it goes without saying Raja looks

5783
03:48:50,570 --> 03:48:47,939
like you're gonna have to wait on seeing

5784
03:48:53,510 --> 03:48:50,580
your first launch as Gary mentioned we

5785
03:48:57,530 --> 03:48:53,520
had a scrub that uh right around 1 43

5786
03:49:00,410 --> 03:48:57,540
a.m eastern time got down inside T minus

5787
03:49:03,050 --> 03:49:00,420
10 minutes and uh there started to

5788
03:49:04,910 --> 03:49:03,060
notice an issue with what's called t-tab

5789
03:49:08,570 --> 03:49:04,920
in the these are the chemicals that help

5790
03:49:10,670 --> 03:49:08,580
ignite the Falcon 9 engines all nine of

5791
03:49:13,250 --> 03:49:10,680
them and uh

5792
03:49:14,570 --> 03:49:13,260
as it turned out uh it looks like there

5793
03:49:16,250 --> 03:49:14,580
wasn't enough confidence in moving

5794
03:49:17,809 --> 03:49:16,260
forward with the amount of t-tep that

5795
03:49:21,229 --> 03:49:17,819
was there to light those engines and so

5796
03:49:24,710 --> 03:49:21,239
we uh we had a scrub called and so now

5797
03:49:26,330 --> 03:49:24,720
from the astronauts perspective Raja

5798
03:49:29,389 --> 03:49:26,340
you're sitting in there first of all

5799
03:49:31,010 --> 03:49:29,399
tell me about what kind of reacts yeah

5800
03:49:33,469 --> 03:49:31,020
so I think it's it's uh good and bad

5801
03:49:35,750 --> 03:49:33,479
right the the bad side is obviously you

5802
03:49:37,070 --> 03:49:35,760
know you're ready to go uh I've been

5803
03:49:38,630 --> 03:49:37,080
waiting for it but I think what's really

5804
03:49:41,330 --> 03:49:38,640
encouraging and what uh you know

5805
03:49:42,830 --> 03:49:41,340
especially were appreciative as the

5806
03:49:44,389 --> 03:49:42,840
astronauts is knowing that everyone's

5807
03:49:46,490 --> 03:49:44,399
got our back and that safety is the

5808
03:49:48,349 --> 03:49:46,500
Paramount thing so as much as everyone

5809
03:49:50,389 --> 03:49:48,359
wants to go the right thing to do is

5810
03:49:51,469 --> 03:49:50,399
obviously in this case the scrub uh and

5811
03:49:52,610 --> 03:49:51,479
so I think that's really easy to

5812
03:49:53,990 --> 03:49:52,620
remember when you're in the seat and

5813
03:49:55,490 --> 03:49:54,000
when you're dealing with you know as you

5814
03:49:57,050 --> 03:49:55,500
go through the process of de-arming the

5815
03:49:58,610 --> 03:49:57,060
launch Escape system all those steps

5816
03:50:00,650 --> 03:49:58,620
just remind you like oh yeah this the

5817
03:50:02,150 --> 03:50:00,660
safety's got to be first I think it's

5818
03:50:04,190 --> 03:50:02,160
also kind of a good deal basically it's

5819
03:50:05,510 --> 03:50:04,200
a free run-through of all the events in

5820
03:50:07,370 --> 03:50:05,520
the timeline so now they've seen it all

5821
03:50:09,050 --> 03:50:07,380
once they have the wet dress but now

5822
03:50:10,729 --> 03:50:09,060
you've taken it all the way down to near

5823
03:50:12,650 --> 03:50:10,739
launch and you get another run of that

5824
03:50:13,729 --> 03:50:12,660
another run through the procedures we

5825
03:50:14,809 --> 03:50:13,739
talked earlier in the night about sleep

5826
03:50:16,729 --> 03:50:14,819
shifting so they're already sleep

5827
03:50:18,769 --> 03:50:16,739
shifted uh they're you know that's why

5828
03:50:21,050 --> 03:50:18,779
we do it that way so that they're you

5829
03:50:23,510 --> 03:50:21,060
know you can continue uh and no earlier

5830
03:50:25,010 --> 03:50:23,520
than tomorrow another large opportunity

5831
03:50:26,269 --> 03:50:25,020
um so I think that's kind of what's

5832
03:50:27,889 --> 03:50:26,279
going into mind right now you heard

5833
03:50:29,630 --> 03:50:27,899
earlier the call up from the core to get

5834
03:50:31,250 --> 03:50:29,640
into 5.100 so that's the procedure

5835
03:50:33,349 --> 03:50:31,260
they're running now earlier in the night

5836
03:50:34,729 --> 03:50:33,359
they're using 4.100 is the procedure

5837
03:50:37,070 --> 03:50:34,739
name and that was launch prep and this

5838
03:50:38,330 --> 03:50:37,080
is the scrub prep and so as a rough rule

5839
03:50:40,190 --> 03:50:38,340
of thumb what they teach the crew is

5840
03:50:41,990 --> 03:50:40,200
about as long as you were fueling it'll

5841
03:50:43,429 --> 03:50:42,000
take that long to defuel so since we

5842
03:50:45,229 --> 03:50:43,439
were pretty deep into the count you

5843
03:50:47,150 --> 03:50:45,239
would expect to take about that amount

5844
03:50:48,650 --> 03:50:47,160
of time to un basically take all the

5845
03:50:51,769 --> 03:50:48,660
fuel out of the rocket so the big

5846
03:50:53,450 --> 03:50:51,779
picture is uh the crew is going to stay

5847
03:50:55,370 --> 03:50:53,460
there just like they were ready for

5848
03:50:57,830 --> 03:50:55,380
launch with the visors down completely

5849
03:50:59,510 --> 03:50:57,840
restrained uh because the rocket still

5850
03:51:01,490 --> 03:50:59,520
has prop on board and so the launch

5851
03:51:05,690 --> 03:51:01,500
Escape system is still armed so it is

5852
03:51:07,729 --> 03:51:05,700
still a volatile machine exactly so they

5853
03:51:10,130 --> 03:51:07,739
still yeah so we still have to treat it

5854
03:51:10,969 --> 03:51:10,140
as if it's ready to go as it is ready to

5855
03:51:14,150 --> 03:51:10,979
go

5856
03:51:16,910 --> 03:51:14,160
um and uh then once the prop is all off

5857
03:51:19,130 --> 03:51:16,920
then they can disarm the launches system

5858
03:51:20,690 --> 03:51:19,140
bring the crew access arm back out and

5859
03:51:22,550 --> 03:51:20,700
then egress the vehicle so essentially

5860
03:51:24,349 --> 03:51:22,560
what we saw earlier tonight just run

5861
03:51:25,969 --> 03:51:24,359
back in Reverse

5862
03:51:27,710 --> 03:51:25,979
um and then I think it's also a good

5863
03:51:29,510 --> 03:51:27,720
example you mentioned like inside T

5864
03:51:31,370 --> 03:51:29,520
minus 10 minutes is when we see star to

5865
03:51:33,050 --> 03:51:31,380
see some ground chatter and know there

5866
03:51:34,910 --> 03:51:33,060
was an issue you didn't hear that on the

5867
03:51:36,410 --> 03:51:34,920
loops to the the crew and one of the

5868
03:51:37,670 --> 03:51:36,420
reasons is you know we work a lot in

5869
03:51:39,050 --> 03:51:37,680
training to figure out what do you tell

5870
03:51:40,849 --> 03:51:39,060
the crew what don't you tell the crew

5871
03:51:43,010 --> 03:51:40,859
but generally speaking if there's

5872
03:51:44,809 --> 03:51:43,020
nothing the crew can do about something

5873
03:51:47,150 --> 03:51:44,819
or you know in this case there's an

5874
03:51:48,830 --> 03:51:47,160
action being worked um then maybe it

5875
03:51:50,750 --> 03:51:48,840
will maybe potentially only confuse the

5876
03:51:52,790 --> 03:51:50,760
situation to to give them extraneous

5877
03:51:54,290 --> 03:51:52,800
information in this case once they had

5878
03:51:56,450 --> 03:51:54,300
actionable info like Hey we're going to

5879
03:51:58,250 --> 03:51:56,460
scrub or we're looking at this that's

5880
03:52:00,889 --> 03:51:58,260
when they call it up versus just

5881
03:52:02,030 --> 03:52:00,899
peppering them with random random pieces

5882
03:52:02,990 --> 03:52:02,040
of information that may or may not be

5883
03:52:04,610 --> 03:52:03,000
relevant

5884
03:52:06,050 --> 03:52:04,620
um in today's case it turned out to be

5885
03:52:08,210 --> 03:52:06,060
relevant but they let them know that

5886
03:52:10,010 --> 03:52:08,220
once that that was the case but but yeah

5887
03:52:12,349 --> 03:52:10,020
I think from the crew standpoint this is

5888
03:52:13,670 --> 03:52:12,359
something we you know just about uh you

5889
03:52:15,710 --> 03:52:13,680
know honestly our launch was the first

5890
03:52:17,330 --> 03:52:15,720
time we ever had an event where nothing

5891
03:52:19,070 --> 03:52:17,340
went wrong because in all the Sims you

5892
03:52:20,630 --> 03:52:19,080
do something generally goes wrong that's

5893
03:52:22,250 --> 03:52:20,640
the whole point right so if this is

5894
03:52:23,750 --> 03:52:22,260
actually par for the course that you're

5895
03:52:25,130 --> 03:52:23,760
like oh yeah of course of course

5896
03:52:26,330 --> 03:52:25,140
something happened because that's what

5897
03:52:28,370 --> 03:52:26,340
always happens to the Sims that's how

5898
03:52:31,429 --> 03:52:28,380
you assume yeah that's how you said so I

5899
03:52:33,050 --> 03:52:31,439
think it's unexpected and with uh I mean

5900
03:52:35,450 --> 03:52:33,060
I think we relearned this every time we

5901
03:52:38,150 --> 03:52:35,460
launch a vehicle whether it's Artemis uh

5902
03:52:40,429 --> 03:52:38,160
you know SpaceX Dragon a Starliner we

5903
03:52:41,750 --> 03:52:40,439
always learn things and you can never

5904
03:52:43,849 --> 03:52:41,760
assume everything's gonna go perfectly

5905
03:52:45,830 --> 03:52:43,859
so I don't think it surprises anyone not

5906
03:52:50,769 --> 03:52:45,840
to say that they're not disappointed I

5907
03:52:55,490 --> 03:52:53,570
oh that's good right they made the safe

5908
03:52:57,650 --> 03:52:55,500
decision but yeah absolutely a little

5909
03:52:58,849 --> 03:52:57,660
disappointed but uh yeah you're still

5910
03:53:01,370 --> 03:52:58,859
gonna get to go to space we'll just

5911
03:53:04,309 --> 03:53:01,380
maybe do it a day or two later

5912
03:53:05,690 --> 03:53:04,319
and currently according to uh SpaceX

5913
03:53:07,550 --> 03:53:05,700
when they initially made the

5914
03:53:09,889 --> 03:53:07,560
announcement it takes about 50 minutes

5915
03:53:14,090 --> 03:53:09,899
to detank the rocket and currently we're

5916
03:53:15,769 --> 03:53:14,100
right around a half hour uh left in that

5917
03:53:18,710 --> 03:53:15,779
process so we've gone about 20 minutes

5918
03:53:20,809 --> 03:53:18,720
in detanking as you mentioned astronauts

5919
03:53:23,510 --> 03:53:20,819
have to stay strapped in exactly where

5920
03:53:26,090 --> 03:53:23,520
they are to wait it out as that

5921
03:53:28,610 --> 03:53:26,100
propellant is detanked and I found that

5922
03:53:32,090 --> 03:53:28,620
you can kind of get a visual marker by

5923
03:53:34,309 --> 03:53:32,100
what you see right here right the uh you

5924
03:53:36,830 --> 03:53:34,319
can see that's some venting venting of

5925
03:53:39,769 --> 03:53:36,840
the locks at the top but then also just

5926
03:53:41,929 --> 03:53:39,779
about as high as that con condensation

5927
03:53:44,269 --> 03:53:41,939
is coming off the rocket Basics with a

5928
03:53:46,670 --> 03:53:44,279
propellant offload update

5929
03:53:50,929 --> 03:53:46,680
I will get an update

5930
03:53:57,050 --> 03:53:54,469
our stage two Lux tank is offloaded uh

5931
03:53:59,269 --> 03:53:57,060
we're still tracking about another 25 to

5932
03:54:03,830 --> 03:53:59,279
30 minutes here last estimate may have

5933
03:54:03,840 --> 03:54:10,010
let's explain something

5934
03:54:13,550 --> 03:54:11,929
so about halfway done

5935
03:54:15,050 --> 03:54:13,560
about halfway and you can see yeah

5936
03:54:16,610 --> 03:54:15,060
you're almost about a halfway down

5937
03:54:17,929 --> 03:54:16,620
actually never noticed that before but

5938
03:54:20,870 --> 03:54:17,939
that's actually a really good really

5939
03:54:23,990 --> 03:54:20,880
good insight and so

5940
03:54:25,969 --> 03:54:24,000
and so now the astronauts are waiting

5941
03:54:28,370 --> 03:54:25,979
in the capsule

5942
03:54:30,650 --> 03:54:28,380
SpaceX is looking at

5943
03:54:32,510 --> 03:54:30,660
and we'll look at after this procedure

5944
03:54:34,090 --> 03:54:32,520
is is complete

5945
03:54:38,330 --> 03:54:34,100
um what's going on with the hardware

5946
03:54:40,429 --> 03:54:38,340
there is a launch opportunity tomorrow

5947
03:54:42,229 --> 03:54:40,439
and I want to emphasize this is an

5948
03:54:45,050 --> 03:54:42,239
opportunity

5949
03:54:47,990 --> 03:54:45,060
um if the team decides that they can

5950
03:54:52,429 --> 03:54:48,000
turn it around in 24 hours and that

5951
03:54:58,070 --> 03:54:52,439
would be with a t0 of 122 and 29 seconds

5952
03:55:05,150 --> 03:55:00,650
well this would be Tuesday February 28th

5953
03:55:08,929 --> 03:55:05,160
with a t 0 of 122 and 29 seconds am

5954
03:55:10,969 --> 03:55:08,939
there is a launch opportunity

5955
03:55:12,950 --> 03:55:10,979
if NASA and SpaceX decide to go forward

5956
03:55:16,610 --> 03:55:12,960
with that

5957
03:55:18,530 --> 03:55:16,620
our coverage on NASA TV would start at 9

5958
03:55:20,750 --> 03:55:18,540
45 pm

5959
03:55:23,269 --> 03:55:20,760
both on NASA TV and our streaming

5960
03:55:25,969 --> 03:55:23,279
platforms

5961
03:55:29,450 --> 03:55:25,979
also from launch to dock that Transit

5962
03:55:30,830 --> 03:55:29,460
would be about 33 and a half hours so if

5963
03:55:33,590 --> 03:55:30,840
they decide to launch on that day

5964
03:55:37,070 --> 03:55:33,600
docking would happen on March 1st at

5965
03:55:38,809 --> 03:55:37,080
1004 Eastern Time there'd be a

5966
03:55:41,090 --> 03:55:38,819
rendezvous docking and welcoming

5967
03:55:45,710 --> 03:55:41,100
ceremony coverage on NASA TV that would

5968
03:55:50,689 --> 03:55:48,110
and I say all that again

5969
03:55:52,370 --> 03:55:50,699
with the asterisk that that is a

5970
03:55:54,229 --> 03:55:52,380
decision that has yet to be made whether

5971
03:55:55,490 --> 03:55:54,239
or not they take the that launch

5972
03:55:57,050 --> 03:55:55,500
opportunity

5973
03:56:00,050 --> 03:55:57,060
there's going to be a

5974
03:56:02,090 --> 03:56:00,060
time to look at this situation right and

5975
03:56:04,070 --> 03:56:02,100
so like we heard that it was a situation

5976
03:56:05,870 --> 03:56:04,080
with the T tab which is again sort of

5977
03:56:07,250 --> 03:56:05,880
the if you weld the igniter for the

5978
03:56:08,929 --> 03:56:07,260
engines and making sure the fluid

5979
03:56:10,550 --> 03:56:08,939
there's enough fluid or sufficient fluid

5980
03:56:13,370 --> 03:56:10,560
so whatever that yeah whatever the

5981
03:56:14,750 --> 03:56:13,380
technical uh underlying of that problem

5982
03:56:16,010 --> 03:56:14,760
that let do today if that's something

5983
03:56:17,030 --> 03:56:16,020
that can be resolved and obviously

5984
03:56:19,309 --> 03:56:17,040
that's something the teams will be

5985
03:56:20,689 --> 03:56:19,319
diving into probably as soon as the prop

5986
03:56:21,830 --> 03:56:20,699
is off the rocket I'm sure they're going

5987
03:56:22,910 --> 03:56:21,840
to be crawling all over and that's

5988
03:56:24,530 --> 03:56:22,920
that's one of the other logistical

5989
03:56:26,809 --> 03:56:24,540
things that's happening here so there's

5990
03:56:28,610 --> 03:56:26,819
you know once they start fueling the

5991
03:56:30,830 --> 03:56:28,620
rocket as part of the countdown sequence

5992
03:56:32,689 --> 03:56:30,840
and the crew uh armed the launch Escape

5993
03:56:34,670 --> 03:56:32,699
system all the Personnel around they're

5994
03:56:36,769 --> 03:56:34,680
also cleared out and so right now there

5995
03:56:39,830 --> 03:56:36,779
is no one really close to the rocket so

5996
03:56:42,590 --> 03:56:39,840
once the fuel is off the rocket um and

5997
03:56:44,389 --> 03:56:42,600
then the crew dearms the Les then people

5998
03:56:46,670 --> 03:56:44,399
can approach again so it does take some

5999
03:56:48,229 --> 03:56:46,680
some time for the vehicles and people

6000
03:56:51,410 --> 03:56:48,239
and the closeout crew just like it did

6001
03:56:52,550 --> 03:56:51,420
to you know clear out the arm and and

6002
03:56:55,070 --> 03:56:52,560
prep it they'll have to do the same

6003
03:56:57,050 --> 03:56:55,080
thing to bring people back to the arm

6004
03:56:59,510 --> 03:56:57,060
um re-prepare it to connect to the the

6005
03:57:00,830 --> 03:56:59,520
capsule but again it's actually in the

6006
03:57:02,150 --> 03:57:00,840
long run kind of the good things when

6007
03:57:03,590 --> 03:57:02,160
they do try this the second time it

6008
03:57:05,389 --> 03:57:03,600
means it'll go all the more smoother but

6009
03:57:06,469 --> 03:57:05,399
still they'll have got another rep of

6010
03:57:07,729 --> 03:57:06,479
doing it

6011
03:57:10,130 --> 03:57:07,739
um you mentioned though the one thing

6012
03:57:11,570 --> 03:57:10,140
having a a longer time to run maybe the

6013
03:57:14,870 --> 03:57:11,580
33 hours actually that's kind of another

6014
03:57:16,429 --> 03:57:14,880
little uh maybe a positive Silver Lining

6015
03:57:17,929 --> 03:57:16,439
out of this because I know for us for

6016
03:57:19,309 --> 03:57:17,939
crew three we really enjoyed our time in

6017
03:57:21,710 --> 03:57:19,319
the capsule you spend so much time

6018
03:57:24,110 --> 03:57:21,720
training in the Hawthorne training in

6019
03:57:26,269 --> 03:57:24,120
Houston and there's something special I

6020
03:57:27,950 --> 03:57:26,279
think about being in a small vehicle yes

6021
03:57:30,349 --> 03:57:27,960
it's cramped so I wouldn't necessarily

6022
03:57:33,229 --> 03:57:30,359
want to spend two weeks in there but but

6023
03:57:35,330 --> 03:57:33,239
uh more than a few hours is just kind of

6024
03:57:37,130 --> 03:57:35,340
fun because catch your breath exactly

6025
03:57:39,110 --> 03:57:37,140
yes because once you hit the space

6026
03:57:40,969 --> 03:57:39,120
station you are on a tight timeline

6027
03:57:42,469 --> 03:57:40,979
everything you know every five minutes

6028
03:57:43,969 --> 03:57:42,479
is accounted for and it should be

6029
03:57:45,830 --> 03:57:43,979
because you know it's expensive to get

6030
03:57:46,670 --> 03:57:45,840
there and we're doing a whole lot of

6031
03:57:48,229 --> 03:57:46,680
science

6032
03:57:49,370 --> 03:57:48,239
um the nice thing in the in the vehicle

6033
03:57:50,630 --> 03:57:49,380
when you're just rendezvousing or

6034
03:57:52,550 --> 03:57:50,640
waiting things for those we talked about

6035
03:57:54,110 --> 03:57:52,560
phasing the orbits you get time to just

6036
03:57:56,150 --> 03:57:54,120
look out the window and hang out with

6037
03:57:58,330 --> 03:57:56,160
their buds it's a kind of like a you

6038
03:58:01,130 --> 03:57:58,340
know a glamping trip

6039
03:58:02,750 --> 03:58:01,140
because you're you know sort of roughing

6040
03:58:04,550 --> 03:58:02,760
it but uh obviously it's some pretty

6041
03:58:06,050 --> 03:58:04,560
nice digs but you can get out of your

6042
03:58:08,450 --> 03:58:06,060
seat right exactly and that's that's so

6043
03:58:10,849 --> 03:58:08,460
it's it's a great time so once they get

6044
03:58:12,110 --> 03:58:10,859
uh in orbit uh and everything's checked

6045
03:58:14,210 --> 03:58:12,120
out they do get out of their seats they

6046
03:58:15,469 --> 03:58:14,220
can change out of their suits and I

6047
03:58:17,210 --> 03:58:15,479
thought that was some of the the best

6048
03:58:19,670 --> 03:58:17,220
time both on the way up and the way down

6049
03:58:22,130 --> 03:58:19,680
just spending time in the dragon and in

6050
03:58:24,229 --> 03:58:22,140
the thing that you've trained in so long

6051
03:58:26,150 --> 03:58:24,239
um and you can really hear it it talks

6052
03:58:27,830 --> 03:58:26,160
to you you can hear when you do burns

6053
03:58:30,469 --> 03:58:27,840
you'll hear the prop flowing you can see

6054
03:58:32,870 --> 03:58:30,479
the thrusters out the window so it's

6055
03:58:34,610 --> 03:58:32,880
it's a nice time and it gives you some

6056
03:58:36,950 --> 03:58:34,620
time to adapt to space so for especially

6057
03:58:38,929 --> 03:58:36,960
in our our crew just like their crew

6058
03:58:41,330 --> 03:58:38,939
having three rookies on board

6059
03:58:42,889 --> 03:58:41,340
um getting some time to adapt to zero

6060
03:58:45,530 --> 03:58:42,899
gravity getting used to moving around

6061
03:58:47,090 --> 03:58:45,540
how you restrain yourself the more time

6062
03:58:48,830 --> 03:58:47,100
you can get in the dragon the the

6063
03:58:50,450 --> 03:58:48,840
quicker you can adapt and get to work on

6064
03:58:52,969 --> 03:58:50,460
the on the space station so I think it's

6065
03:58:55,429 --> 03:58:52,979
all time well spent when you have a few

6066
03:58:57,950 --> 03:58:55,439
extra hours in the Dragon

6067
03:59:00,830 --> 03:58:57,960
Raj has talked a lot about the crew and

6068
03:59:04,250 --> 03:59:00,840
what that means for them

6069
03:59:06,349 --> 03:59:04,260
um going potentially going forward

6070
03:59:07,790 --> 03:59:06,359
um I want to go back to the t-tab we've

6071
03:59:09,769 --> 03:59:07,800
we've mentioned this and heard it a

6072
03:59:12,050 --> 03:59:09,779
couple of times I think one of our

6073
03:59:14,510 --> 03:59:12,060
commentators actually spelled it out if

6074
03:59:16,849 --> 03:59:14,520
you look at the picture on the left the

6075
03:59:19,010 --> 03:59:16,859
SpaceX rocket on the pad

6076
03:59:22,550 --> 03:59:19,020
now for those who are familiar with

6077
03:59:26,630 --> 03:59:22,560
watching launches at night that t-tab

6078
03:59:29,210 --> 03:59:26,640
it's the it's the ignition fluid you can

6079
03:59:31,550 --> 03:59:29,220
actually see it light because it flashes

6080
03:59:33,769 --> 03:59:31,560
green all around the bottom of the

6081
03:59:36,650 --> 03:59:33,779
rocket you can see a green flash and

6082
03:59:39,530 --> 03:59:36,660
that's what it does it lights those nine

6083
03:59:42,290 --> 03:59:39,540
uh Merlin engines and then you have a

6084
03:59:45,110 --> 03:59:42,300
liftoff and they call it t-tab because

6085
03:59:48,950 --> 03:59:45,120
that's the acronym for tri-ethyl

6086
03:59:51,889 --> 03:59:48,960
aluminum triethyl Boron and when they

6087
03:59:54,950 --> 03:59:51,899
come together they create that yeah that

6088
03:59:57,710 --> 03:59:54,960
ignition that's necessary to uh to light

6089
04:00:02,389 --> 03:59:59,689
and so that's something that SpaceX is

6090
04:00:04,969 --> 04:00:02,399
going to look at we also heard an update

6091
04:00:07,790 --> 04:00:04,979
from SpaceX on the loops about the the

6092
04:00:11,630 --> 04:00:07,800
timing of the d-tank which we are

6093
04:00:15,229 --> 04:00:11,640
currently just about 25 27 minutes into

6094
04:00:20,389 --> 04:00:18,229
as a astronaut Raja Chari was saying

6095
04:00:22,910 --> 04:00:20,399
this is uh a period of time where the

6096
04:00:25,969 --> 04:00:22,920
astronauts just have to hold still

6097
04:00:28,790 --> 04:00:25,979
while the propellant is taken out of the

6098
04:00:32,929 --> 04:00:30,410
yep and they're probably also going

6099
04:00:34,849 --> 04:00:32,939
through uh so we're always trying to

6100
04:00:36,110 --> 04:00:34,859
think what what what if what if what if

6101
04:00:37,309 --> 04:00:36,120
that's always what's going through our

6102
04:00:40,370 --> 04:00:37,319
mind so right now they're probably

6103
04:00:42,650 --> 04:00:40,380
thinking through uh well the the Les is

6104
04:00:44,269 --> 04:00:42,660
still hot so that was you know but we're

6105
04:00:45,110 --> 04:00:44,279
not planning on going so if there was a

6106
04:00:46,670 --> 04:00:45,120
problem we'd probably hit the emergency

6107
04:00:49,870 --> 04:00:46,680
ground address button wait for the crew

6108
04:00:52,550 --> 04:00:49,880
arm to swing out at that faster rate

6109
04:00:53,689 --> 04:00:52,560
yeah so yeah but uh yeah but we would

6110
04:00:55,070 --> 04:00:53,699
still want to if you had to get out

6111
04:00:56,990 --> 04:00:55,080
quickly do the emerging ground address

6112
04:00:59,090 --> 04:00:57,000
make sure the Les is disarmed before you

6113
04:01:01,189 --> 04:00:59,100
get out of your seats uh and then and

6114
04:01:03,410 --> 04:01:01,199
then egress if you had to uh and so

6115
04:01:06,229 --> 04:01:03,420
there's there's a few different ways a

6116
04:01:07,550 --> 04:01:06,239
few different types of egress in if

6117
04:01:08,929 --> 04:01:07,560
something else went wrong and so

6118
04:01:11,450 --> 04:01:08,939
whenever prop is moving whether it's

6119
04:01:13,610 --> 04:01:11,460
getting unloaded or offloaded you're

6120
04:01:16,309 --> 04:01:13,620
always ready for that

6121
04:01:18,110 --> 04:01:16,319
um so that Les stays armed through this

6122
04:01:20,570 --> 04:01:18,120
book actually stays armed as long as

6123
04:01:22,610 --> 04:01:20,580
there's propellant on the uh the rocket

6124
04:01:24,590 --> 04:01:22,620
that stays armed because if there was

6125
04:01:27,110 --> 04:01:24,600
any kind of contingency you'd want to

6126
04:01:28,969 --> 04:01:27,120
use that to get off quickly

6127
04:01:30,410 --> 04:01:28,979
the other thing that the Hat will have

6128
04:01:32,630 --> 04:01:30,420
to happen eventually is they'll have to

6129
04:01:34,189 --> 04:01:32,640
rotate the seats back so just like we

6130
04:01:37,490 --> 04:01:34,199
saw this the seats rotate to the launch

6131
04:01:39,469 --> 04:01:37,500
position uh once the Les is disarmed and

6132
04:01:40,990 --> 04:01:39,479
they'll rotate back to the you know the

6133
04:01:43,490 --> 04:01:41,000
loading and unloading configuration

6134
04:01:45,710 --> 04:01:43,500
there's also uh we didn't talk about it

6135
04:01:47,210 --> 04:01:45,720
uh too much but uh it's not just people

6136
04:01:49,490 --> 04:01:47,220
that the dragon takes up there it's

6137
04:01:51,229 --> 04:01:49,500
cargo and so you can't really see in

6138
04:01:52,189 --> 04:01:51,239
this view we saw for earlier in the

6139
04:01:53,809 --> 04:01:52,199
night when they were first loading up

6140
04:01:55,969 --> 04:01:53,819
you got a shot underneath their legs

6141
04:01:57,710 --> 04:01:55,979
yeah exactly and so you can see the

6142
04:01:59,630 --> 04:01:57,720
cargo that's under there and that the

6143
04:02:01,550 --> 04:01:59,640
stuff on the left under Andre's seat is

6144
04:02:04,010 --> 04:02:01,560
mostly uh

6145
04:02:05,570 --> 04:02:04,020
crew related in terms of like Survival

6146
04:02:07,550 --> 04:02:05,580
equipment that you see that red you can

6147
04:02:10,130 --> 04:02:07,560
kind of just see the red bag that's the

6148
04:02:11,570 --> 04:02:10,140
like the life raft and so we talked you

6149
04:02:13,849 --> 04:02:11,580
saw that video earlier tonight we talked

6150
04:02:15,889 --> 04:02:13,859
about the Orion the porch and you know

6151
04:02:18,290 --> 04:02:15,899
the Orion water training so a lot of the

6152
04:02:20,750 --> 04:02:18,300
water recovery equipment is in those

6153
04:02:22,490 --> 04:02:20,760
those pallets underneath Andre's seat if

6154
04:02:25,250 --> 04:02:22,500
if the crew had to do something on their

6155
04:02:27,290 --> 04:02:25,260
own uh for some kind of uh Landing in an

6156
04:02:29,689 --> 04:02:27,300
unplanned area and then this stuff

6157
04:02:30,950 --> 04:02:29,699
that's kind of under Woody and Steve's

6158
04:02:33,229 --> 04:02:30,960
seats you can see they look like more

6159
04:02:35,389 --> 04:02:33,239
like metal lockers and so those uh

6160
04:02:37,490 --> 04:02:35,399
positions actually have power so under

6161
04:02:40,189 --> 04:02:37,500
Andre and Sultan seats there's no power

6162
04:02:42,710 --> 04:02:40,199
to those locations those cargo locations

6163
04:02:43,910 --> 04:02:42,720
but the ones under Woody and Steve they

6164
04:02:46,010 --> 04:02:43,920
actually have power which means you can

6165
04:02:47,689 --> 04:02:46,020
cool or heat things but generally when

6166
04:02:49,250 --> 04:02:47,699
you're talking about science going up

6167
04:02:51,229 --> 04:02:49,260
and back from the station oftentimes you

6168
04:02:53,809 --> 04:02:51,239
need to keep stuff Frozen or temperature

6169
04:02:55,910 --> 04:02:53,819
controlled and so those usually the

6170
04:02:57,889 --> 04:02:55,920
probably the more valuable I'm sure it's

6171
04:03:01,309 --> 04:02:57,899
valuable but like the the more time

6172
04:03:03,410 --> 04:03:01,319
critical stuff is in those and so more

6173
04:03:05,150 --> 04:03:03,420
than likely when they offload the crew

6174
04:03:06,590 --> 04:03:05,160
will probably won't be on camera anymore

6175
04:03:08,389 --> 04:03:06,600
but they'll probably also go in and

6176
04:03:10,070 --> 04:03:08,399
either you know take some of that stuff

6177
04:03:12,170 --> 04:03:10,080
out if there's anything that has to be

6178
04:03:14,929 --> 04:03:12,180
chilled or temperature control to make

6179
04:03:16,429 --> 04:03:14,939
sure it's it's still in a good State and

6180
04:03:17,990 --> 04:03:16,439
then when you dock with the station

6181
04:03:19,969 --> 04:03:18,000
those are some of the first things that

6182
04:03:21,950 --> 04:03:19,979
come off to make sure that they get into

6183
04:03:26,090 --> 04:03:21,960
the right SpaceX with propellant offload

6184
04:03:26,100 --> 04:03:29,510
there's a stranger

6185
04:03:36,910 --> 04:03:31,189
offloads are proceeding nominally

6186
04:03:42,530 --> 04:03:40,490
thank you Captain Stephen Boeing

6187
04:03:44,450 --> 04:03:42,540
communicating with the launch Team

6188
04:03:45,889 --> 04:03:44,460
exactly happened about another 15 to 20

6189
04:03:48,469 --> 04:03:45,899
minutes and sounds like things are going

6190
04:03:49,790 --> 04:03:48,479
nominally but yeah so the uh those

6191
04:03:52,429 --> 04:03:49,800
pallets underneath there like I said

6192
04:03:53,750 --> 04:03:52,439
they may I'm not exactly sure what's in

6193
04:03:55,610 --> 04:03:53,760
those particular ones but it would not

6194
04:03:57,769 --> 04:03:55,620
be uncommon to to pull some of that

6195
04:04:01,130 --> 04:03:57,779
stuff they caught like late load cargo

6196
04:04:02,389 --> 04:04:01,140
that uh you know for is very sensitive

6197
04:04:03,889 --> 04:04:02,399
to temperature or maybe some power

6198
04:04:05,630 --> 04:04:03,899
considerations that you would pull off

6199
04:04:07,309 --> 04:04:05,640
and and store and then like I said when

6200
04:04:08,929 --> 04:04:07,319
you dock those are the first things they

6201
04:04:10,550 --> 04:04:08,939
come out but again if the kind of

6202
04:04:12,769 --> 04:04:10,560
takeaways it's not just people but a

6203
04:04:15,170 --> 04:04:12,779
whole bunch of stuff that goes to the

6204
04:04:16,490 --> 04:04:15,180
space station by way of the dragon and

6205
04:04:17,809 --> 04:04:16,500
then you can also put things in the

6206
04:04:20,150 --> 04:04:17,819
trunk as well

6207
04:04:21,710 --> 04:04:20,160
um on like the cargo dragons we used the

6208
04:04:23,450 --> 04:04:21,720
we saw it earlier tonight the solar

6209
04:04:25,189 --> 04:04:23,460
panels but you can load things into the

6210
04:04:27,650 --> 04:04:25,199
trunk and here's a great shot of it so

6211
04:04:29,030 --> 04:04:27,660
that bottom section that looks uh with

6212
04:04:31,969 --> 04:04:29,040
the solar panels and the black and the

6213
04:04:34,189 --> 04:04:31,979
white inside there you can actually put

6214
04:04:36,950 --> 04:04:34,199
things inside there as well uh that

6215
04:04:38,929 --> 04:04:36,960
obviously it doesn't have to be in a

6216
04:04:42,290 --> 04:04:38,939
nice atmosphere or uh so it's the things

6217
04:04:46,550 --> 04:04:44,450
all right good stuff NASA astronaut

6218
04:04:49,010 --> 04:04:46,560
ranja Charlie keeping us

6219
04:04:50,330 --> 04:04:49,020
informed and updated on

6220
04:04:54,170 --> 04:04:50,340
what the astronauts are going through

6221
04:04:56,630 --> 04:04:54,180
and what it means for the cargo on board

6222
04:04:58,610 --> 04:04:56,640
I want to now take a moment to go back

6223
04:05:00,889 --> 04:04:58,620
to SpaceX in Hawthorne California and

6224
04:05:06,110 --> 04:05:00,899
get caught up with our NASA commentator

6225
04:05:11,450 --> 04:05:08,150
hey thank you Daryl yeah we're following

6226
04:05:13,910 --> 04:05:11,460
along here in Mission Control Hawthorne

6227
04:05:16,070 --> 04:05:13,920
as you mentioned that status update on

6228
04:05:18,710 --> 04:05:16,080
the fuel offloading we're looking at

6229
04:05:20,750 --> 04:05:18,720
about 15 20 minutes until that is

6230
04:05:23,510 --> 04:05:20,760
completed in the meantime you see the

6231
04:05:27,170 --> 04:05:23,520
crew six astronauts on board inside crew

6232
04:05:30,590 --> 04:05:27,180
Dragon Endeavor uh passively waiting

6233
04:05:32,570 --> 04:05:30,600
they'll be going through uh a series of

6234
04:05:34,610 --> 04:05:32,580
more steps once fuel offloading is

6235
04:05:36,889 --> 04:05:34,620
complete in the meantime

6236
04:05:39,469 --> 04:05:36,899
um the uh

6237
04:05:42,650 --> 04:05:39,479
the dragon is gonna or the Falcon 9 is

6238
04:05:44,450 --> 04:05:42,660
going to continue to uh uh get rid of

6239
04:05:46,309 --> 04:05:44,460
the fuel and the oxidizer that's inside

6240
04:05:48,349 --> 04:05:46,319
the Falcon 9.

6241
04:05:51,170 --> 04:05:48,359
um the seats themselves will rotate from

6242
04:05:54,769 --> 04:05:51,180
the launch position down uh so that the

6243
04:05:56,090 --> 04:05:54,779
uh closeout team can come back and get

6244
04:05:58,670 --> 04:05:56,100
them out of their seats they'll open up

6245
04:06:01,370 --> 04:05:58,680
that side hatch and uh get the crew back

6246
04:06:04,010 --> 04:06:01,380
walk down the crew access arm down the

6247
04:06:05,330 --> 04:06:04,020
elevators and go back to crew quarters

6248
04:06:07,130 --> 04:06:05,340
to await for the next launch attempt

6249
04:06:09,889 --> 04:06:07,140
right now uh the next launch attempt

6250
04:06:12,830 --> 04:06:09,899
we're looking at is about 24 hours from

6251
04:06:15,170 --> 04:06:12,840
now but right now if you're if you're

6252
04:06:19,010 --> 04:06:15,180
just tuning in uh and looking for

6253
04:06:21,349 --> 04:06:19,020
updates on the launch of the crew dragon

6254
04:06:24,229 --> 04:06:21,359
to the International Space Station we

6255
04:06:27,530 --> 04:06:24,239
are in a launch scrub situation so at

6256
04:06:29,389 --> 04:06:27,540
about two minutes 30 seconds the team's

6257
04:06:32,150 --> 04:06:29,399
ground teams declared a scrub due to

6258
04:06:34,370 --> 04:06:32,160
tracking what's called a t-tep this is

6259
04:06:36,590 --> 04:06:34,380
the ignition fluid that allows the

6260
04:06:39,650 --> 04:06:36,600
engines on the first and second stage to

6261
04:06:41,809 --> 04:06:39,660
ignore night and Propel the Falcon 9 and

6262
04:06:44,990 --> 04:06:41,819
the crew into orbit over the nine minute

6263
04:06:48,170 --> 04:06:45,000
Ascent usually if you follow our our

6264
04:06:51,710 --> 04:06:48,180
coverage t-tep when the second stage

6265
04:06:54,530 --> 04:06:51,720
ignites at about three minutes uh into

6266
04:06:56,689 --> 04:06:54,540
the Flight of the Falcon 9. there's this

6267
04:06:58,910 --> 04:06:56,699
green flash that you see from the mvac

6268
04:07:01,070 --> 04:06:58,920
engine at the tip and then the titanium

6269
04:07:04,790 --> 04:07:01,080
stabilization ring at the end of the

6270
04:07:07,070 --> 04:07:04,800
expansion nozzle uh goes away after that

6271
04:07:10,550 --> 04:07:07,080
t-tab ignition and the and the second

6272
04:07:13,189 --> 04:07:10,560
stage ignites that's that green flash is

6273
04:07:14,809 --> 04:07:13,199
the t-tep ignition fluid and you can

6274
04:07:16,969 --> 04:07:14,819
actually see it in our launch coverage

6275
04:07:19,910 --> 04:07:16,979
but it was that that the ground teams

6276
04:07:22,309 --> 04:07:19,920
were tracking and so they identified a

6277
04:07:25,429 --> 04:07:22,319
ground issue and are now going through

6278
04:07:28,550 --> 04:07:25,439
the stages of a nominal uh a nominal

6279
04:07:30,170 --> 04:07:28,560
scrub situation just regular uh tank

6280
04:07:32,689 --> 04:07:30,180
offloading we were originally looking at

6281
04:07:35,929 --> 04:07:32,699
about 50 minutes of tank offloading now

6282
04:07:38,389 --> 04:07:35,939
we're about 15 20 minutes from the

6283
04:07:40,070 --> 04:07:38,399
latest report of the ground teams in the

6284
04:07:43,070 --> 04:07:40,080
meantime the crew six astronauts are

6285
04:07:46,790 --> 04:07:43,080
aboard passively waiting and tracking

6286
04:07:48,469 --> 04:07:46,800
the uh tracking the fuel offload

6287
04:07:50,929 --> 04:07:48,479
and why don't we check in with Kate for

6288
04:07:54,170 --> 04:07:50,939
for more on the scrub situation

6289
04:07:57,610 --> 04:07:54,180
yeah thanks Gary I am following along

6290
04:08:00,349 --> 04:07:57,620
with the SpaceX ground teams procedures

6291
04:08:03,290 --> 04:08:00,359
As We are continuing through this

6292
04:08:04,910 --> 04:08:03,300
nominal scrub as we heard called out a

6293
04:08:07,790 --> 04:08:04,920
couple minutes ago

6294
04:08:11,510 --> 04:08:07,800
um we have about 15 to 20 minutes left

6295
04:08:14,450 --> 04:08:11,520
of the offload so that should wrap up

6296
04:08:17,809 --> 04:08:14,460
between 12 excuse me around between 2 30

6297
04:08:19,189 --> 04:08:17,819
and 4 30 a.m eastern time so we're

6298
04:08:22,130 --> 04:08:19,199
coming up to that soon everything

6299
04:08:24,710 --> 04:08:22,140
progressing nominally looking at the

6300
04:08:27,710 --> 04:08:24,720
current levels I'm expecting a call out

6301
04:08:30,530 --> 04:08:27,720
to occur any minute now indicating that

6302
04:08:35,090 --> 04:08:30,540
all rp1 has been detanked from the

6303
04:08:36,590 --> 04:08:35,100
second stage so liquid oxygen de-tanking

6304
04:08:39,110 --> 04:08:36,600
has already completed from the second

6305
04:08:41,990 --> 04:08:39,120
stage so I'm expecting that call out to

6306
04:08:45,050 --> 04:08:42,000
come any second now indicating that rp1

6307
04:08:47,269 --> 04:08:45,060
has been completely detanked as for the

6308
04:08:49,189 --> 04:08:47,279
first stage also really low levels there

6309
04:08:52,929 --> 04:08:49,199
I would say less than five percent

6310
04:08:56,750 --> 04:08:52,939
remaining locks on the first stage to go

6311
04:08:59,090 --> 04:08:56,760
and then probably about 10 fuel left to

6312
04:09:01,490 --> 04:08:59,100
go uh there on the first stage so we're

6313
04:09:03,830 --> 04:09:01,500
nearly there but we will hear those

6314
04:09:06,050 --> 04:09:03,840
progress call outs on the loops

6315
04:09:07,929 --> 04:09:06,060
informing the crew as you can see there

6316
04:09:10,790 --> 04:09:07,939
on the right hand side of your screen

6317
04:09:14,210 --> 04:09:10,800
they remain comfortable in their seats

6318
04:09:16,550 --> 04:09:14,220
visors down seats rotated back the

6319
04:09:19,130 --> 04:09:16,560
launch Escape system is still armed at

6320
04:09:20,630 --> 04:09:19,140
this point although from that view of

6321
04:09:22,910 --> 04:09:20,640
the pad on the left hand side of your

6322
04:09:26,389 --> 04:09:22,920
screen it might kind of look like the

6323
04:09:28,550 --> 04:09:26,399
crew access arm is reaching toward the

6324
04:09:32,389 --> 04:09:28,560
capsule it's not we have not moved that

6325
04:09:35,750 --> 04:09:32,399
yet into the service position it and we

6326
04:09:37,250 --> 04:09:35,760
won't do that for a little bit yet but

6327
04:09:39,769 --> 04:09:37,260
we still have a number of things that

6328
04:09:42,349 --> 04:09:39,779
we're going going to go through

6329
04:09:45,469 --> 04:09:42,359
in this nominal offload procedure as I

6330
04:09:47,330 --> 04:09:45,479
mentioned before the crew had a dry

6331
04:09:50,150 --> 04:09:47,340
dress rehearsal on Thursday night

6332
04:09:51,710 --> 04:09:50,160
meaning no propellant involved

6333
04:09:54,469 --> 04:09:51,720
um so that what that's what makes it a

6334
04:09:56,990 --> 04:09:54,479
dry dress but they have gone through

6335
04:10:00,769 --> 04:09:57,000
this very similar procedure in terms of

6336
04:10:03,050 --> 04:10:00,779
the closeout team going back up into the

6337
04:10:05,150 --> 04:10:03,060
tower back down the crew access arm and

6338
04:10:07,969 --> 04:10:05,160
helping the crew get out of the capsule

6339
04:10:10,070 --> 04:10:07,979
including reopening that side hatch so

6340
04:10:11,689 --> 04:10:10,080
the astronauts will egress from the

6341
04:10:15,290 --> 04:10:11,699
capsule the exact same way that they

6342
04:10:17,330 --> 04:10:15,300
Ingress Just In Reverse so pretty simple

6343
04:10:20,450 --> 04:10:17,340
from that standpoint but there are also

6344
04:10:22,849 --> 04:10:20,460
other things that we'll have to do inclu

6345
04:10:25,309 --> 04:10:22,859
in addition to that that fuel detanking

6346
04:10:28,309 --> 04:10:25,319
or offloading and the disarming of that

6347
04:10:30,710 --> 04:10:28,319
launch Escape system we will also check

6348
04:10:32,530 --> 04:10:30,720
with the hyper Gull sensors that those

6349
04:10:34,870 --> 04:10:32,540
hypergolic fluids

6350
04:10:38,990 --> 04:10:34,880
monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen

6351
04:10:42,110 --> 04:10:39,000
tetroxide that mmh and nto those are the

6352
04:10:45,170 --> 04:10:42,120
fuels that are used to power Dragon when

6353
04:10:47,630 --> 04:10:45,180
it's in orbit and they are toxic to

6354
04:10:49,010 --> 04:10:47,640
humans to breathe so we will engage

6355
04:10:51,590 --> 04:10:49,020
Those sensors and make sure that there's

6356
04:10:54,889 --> 04:10:51,600
a zero you know that there's no presence

6357
04:10:57,349 --> 04:10:54,899
of those propellants prior to allowing

6358
04:10:59,809 --> 04:10:57,359
the closeout team return to the white

6359
04:11:02,269 --> 04:10:59,819
room we'll also make sure that the

6360
04:11:06,050 --> 04:11:02,279
closeout crew themselves are prepared

6361
04:11:07,370 --> 04:11:06,060
and ready to re-enter the BDA or glass

6362
04:11:09,830 --> 04:11:07,380
danger area

6363
04:11:13,010 --> 04:11:09,840
so it's basically everything that they

6364
04:11:14,809 --> 04:11:13,020
did earlier today but in reverse and

6365
04:11:17,389 --> 04:11:14,819
then another thing that we will also do

6366
04:11:19,370 --> 04:11:17,399
is we will release the range assets so

6367
04:11:21,889 --> 04:11:19,380
of course all of that

6368
04:11:24,830 --> 04:11:21,899
ground example that sea and airspace

6369
04:11:27,110 --> 04:11:24,840
that we had closed off in preparation

6370
04:11:30,110 --> 04:11:27,120
for launch after that launch Escape

6371
04:11:32,630 --> 04:11:30,120
system is disabled we'll be able to

6372
04:11:34,429 --> 04:11:32,640
basically release or free up all of

6373
04:11:37,429 --> 04:11:34,439
those range assets that are still

6374
04:11:40,610 --> 04:11:37,439
currently locked down just in case a

6375
04:11:42,170 --> 04:11:40,620
launch abort excuse me a dragon abort a

6376
04:11:44,090 --> 04:11:42,180
pad abort in this case would be

6377
04:11:45,830 --> 04:11:44,100
triggered but as we mentioned before

6378
04:11:48,410 --> 04:11:45,840
everything continues to progress

6379
04:11:55,670 --> 04:11:48,420
nominally with no issues that's Basics

6380
04:12:01,370 --> 04:11:58,729
three or six things

6381
04:12:04,070 --> 04:12:01,380
at this time we have rp1 unlocks off of

6382
04:12:05,809 --> 04:12:04,080
stage two expecting just another five

6383
04:12:08,990 --> 04:12:05,819
minutes or so here until we are fully

6384
04:12:09,000 --> 04:12:17,030
36 dragon's office thank you

6385
04:12:23,870 --> 04:12:20,389
so that was SpaceX core Arthur barriolt

6386
04:12:25,849 --> 04:12:23,880
just informing the crew that there's

6387
04:12:28,189 --> 04:12:25,859
about five minutes remaining as I

6388
04:12:30,490 --> 04:12:28,199
mentioned before at this point in time

6389
04:12:33,650 --> 04:12:30,500
the second stage is now completely

6390
04:12:36,290 --> 04:12:33,660
mostly empty completely empty of of its

6391
04:12:39,290 --> 04:12:36,300
propellants the locks tank on the first

6392
04:12:41,809 --> 04:12:39,300
stage is nearly empty and the fuel tank

6393
04:12:45,410 --> 04:12:41,819
on the first stage has maybe about five

6394
04:12:47,750 --> 04:12:45,420
percent remaining uh to be pulled out so

6395
04:12:48,889 --> 04:12:47,760
everything continuing normally with this

6396
04:12:51,650 --> 04:12:48,899
offload

6397
04:12:53,870 --> 04:12:51,660
um we heard their Commander Steve Bowen

6398
04:12:56,150 --> 04:12:53,880
as I mentioned earlier

6399
04:12:59,750 --> 04:12:56,160
um it sounds he sounds pretty relaxed

6400
04:13:02,929 --> 04:12:59,760
and cool as an ice cube here and for

6401
04:13:06,290 --> 04:13:02,939
good reason the astronauts train for

6402
04:13:07,969 --> 04:13:06,300
every possible scenario this included as

6403
04:13:09,790 --> 04:13:07,979
we've mentioned several times before we

6404
04:13:13,189 --> 04:13:09,800
have procedures for everything

6405
04:13:16,790 --> 04:13:13,199
I am following along with this scrub

6406
04:13:20,150 --> 04:13:16,800
procedure and everything continues to to

6407
04:13:22,990 --> 04:13:20,160
go so as planned which is kind of funny

6408
04:13:26,269 --> 04:13:23,000
to say for an event that we obviously

6409
04:13:30,050 --> 04:13:26,279
didn't want to happen tonight but

6410
04:13:32,330 --> 04:13:30,060
um as uh John endsbrucker reminded me a

6411
04:13:35,929 --> 04:13:32,340
little bit ago the

6412
04:13:37,370 --> 04:13:35,939
uh the Mercury flight director said back

6413
04:13:39,830 --> 04:13:37,380
in the early days of the Space Program

6414
04:13:42,229 --> 04:13:39,840
it's better to be on the ground wishing

6415
04:13:44,570 --> 04:13:42,239
you were flying than to be flying

6416
04:13:47,269 --> 04:13:44,580
wishing you were on the ground so

6417
04:13:50,150 --> 04:13:47,279
um this is a good example of

6418
04:13:52,670 --> 04:13:50,160
um the system doing exactly what it was

6419
04:13:56,689 --> 04:13:52,680
supposed to do in the case of off

6420
04:13:59,030 --> 04:13:56,699
nominal t-tep readings there was a scrub

6421
04:14:03,050 --> 04:13:59,040
called at about two minutes and 30

6422
04:14:05,450 --> 04:14:03,060
seconds prior to liftoff and uh that was

6423
04:14:07,130 --> 04:14:05,460
an issue that the the the crew had and

6424
04:14:09,290 --> 04:14:07,140
that excuse me that the ground teams had

6425
04:14:11,269 --> 04:14:09,300
informed the crew of around T-minus five

6426
04:14:12,769 --> 04:14:11,279
minutes had indicated that they would

6427
04:14:14,689 --> 04:14:12,779
need a couple more minutes to

6428
04:14:17,570 --> 04:14:14,699
troubleshoot the problem and ultimately

6429
04:14:20,030 --> 04:14:17,580
called that scrub at T minus two minutes

6430
04:14:22,689 --> 04:14:20,040
and 30 seconds so at this point in time

6431
04:14:24,830 --> 04:14:22,699
the crew remains in their chairs

6432
04:14:26,689 --> 04:14:24,840
unfortunately not a whole lot for them

6433
04:14:29,030 --> 04:14:26,699
to do other than Mont continue to

6434
04:14:31,910 --> 04:14:29,040
monitor uh using their crew displays

6435
04:14:34,849 --> 04:14:31,920
continue to monitor the progress of the

6436
04:14:38,170 --> 04:14:34,859
propel and offloading and the overall

6437
04:14:41,090 --> 04:14:38,180
Vehicle Health but as I mentioned before

6438
04:14:43,849 --> 04:14:41,100
the Commander's tone of voice indicates

6439
04:14:44,990 --> 04:14:43,859
that everyone is I'm sure disappointed

6440
04:14:47,990 --> 04:14:45,000
that they didn't get to go to space

6441
04:14:50,150 --> 04:14:48,000
today but unbothered or not worried

6442
04:14:52,969 --> 04:14:50,160
about what we're walking through as we

6443
04:14:54,830 --> 04:14:52,979
have practice practice a similar

6444
04:14:56,809 --> 04:14:54,840
scenario very recently with that dry

6445
04:15:01,429 --> 04:14:56,819
dress rehearsal just this past Thursday

6446
04:15:04,610 --> 04:15:01,439
evening so after we fully detank the

6447
04:15:06,290 --> 04:15:04,620
vehicle we will be able to disarm the

6448
04:15:08,450 --> 04:15:06,300
launch Escape system

6449
04:15:09,889 --> 04:15:08,460
and then bring that crew access arm

6450
04:15:12,590 --> 04:15:09,899
wedge a great shot there on the left

6451
04:15:15,050 --> 04:15:12,600
hand side of your screen of it stowed

6452
04:15:19,250 --> 04:15:15,060
away we will basically rotate it back

6453
04:15:21,889 --> 04:15:19,260
into its service position and the

6454
04:15:24,050 --> 04:15:21,899
closeout team will

6455
04:15:26,630 --> 04:15:24,060
um I guess it will be the opposite more

6456
04:15:30,229 --> 04:15:26,640
of like a close-in team they will return

6457
04:15:33,110 --> 04:15:30,239
to the pad and uh go back up to the side

6458
04:15:38,210 --> 04:15:33,120
hatch reopen it and help the astronauts

6459
04:15:43,370 --> 04:15:41,030
that's right Kate and again uh we're

6460
04:15:45,650 --> 04:15:43,380
getting that live view from inside the

6461
04:15:47,809 --> 04:15:45,660
dragon they are passively waiting it's

6462
04:15:49,309 --> 04:15:47,819
the ground teams monitoring uh the

6463
04:15:51,349 --> 04:15:49,319
detanking process which we're really

6464
04:15:53,630 --> 04:15:51,359
just minutes away from finishing in the

6465
04:15:55,910 --> 04:15:53,640
meantime we continue to keep that launch

6466
04:15:58,070 --> 04:15:55,920
Escape system armed just to make sure

6467
04:16:00,229 --> 04:15:58,080
the crew is safe through the process now

6468
04:16:03,050 --> 04:16:00,239
after that detanking is complete one of

6469
04:16:05,689 --> 04:16:03,060
the next steps will be to disarm uh the

6470
04:16:07,370 --> 04:16:05,699
launch Escape system when the Falcon 9

6471
04:16:10,010 --> 04:16:07,380
is not fueled

6472
04:16:11,630 --> 04:16:10,020
um the it's in a safe configuration to

6473
04:16:13,849 --> 04:16:11,640
go ahead and disarm that and go through

6474
04:16:16,070 --> 04:16:13,859
the next series of steps including that

6475
04:16:18,889 --> 04:16:16,080
crew access arm swinging back and

6476
04:16:21,110 --> 04:16:18,899
retrieving the crew now crew six will

6477
04:16:23,929 --> 04:16:21,120
have another opportunity to launch right

6478
04:16:26,630 --> 04:16:23,939
now we're tracking a 24-hour turnaround

6479
04:16:28,790 --> 04:16:26,640
for the next launch attempt of course

6480
04:16:32,090 --> 04:16:28,800
the teams on the ground will have to

6481
04:16:34,250 --> 04:16:32,100
evaluate and continue to evaluate uh the

6482
04:16:36,889 --> 04:16:34,260
issue that was identified as part of

6483
04:16:39,349 --> 04:16:36,899
today's launch scrub and again that was

6484
04:16:42,710 --> 04:16:39,359
a ground issue identify with the t-tab

6485
04:16:44,929 --> 04:16:42,720
ignition fluid that allows the first and

6486
04:16:47,510 --> 04:16:44,939
second stage engines to ignite and

6487
04:16:49,729 --> 04:16:47,520
Propel the Falcon 9 and the dragon into

6488
04:16:51,830 --> 04:16:49,739
orbit so they'll continue to talk and

6489
04:16:53,150 --> 04:16:51,840
discuss about the issues before going

6490
04:16:55,849 --> 04:16:53,160
ahead and proceeding with that next

6491
04:16:57,769 --> 04:16:55,859
attempt but we have that identified if

6492
04:17:00,710 --> 04:16:57,779
we were to proceed with a launch attempt

6493
04:17:03,650 --> 04:17:00,720
tomorrow again today's launch attempt we

6494
04:17:06,170 --> 04:17:03,660
were counting down to 1 45 a.m eastern

6495
04:17:08,570 --> 04:17:06,180
time for tomorrow for a 24-hour scrub

6496
04:17:12,290 --> 04:17:08,580
it's just about 24 hours a little shy of

6497
04:17:16,250 --> 04:17:12,300
that so we'd be looking at about 122 a.m

6498
04:17:18,229 --> 04:17:16,260
eastern time tomorrow for our next

6499
04:17:21,490 --> 04:17:18,239
attempt in the meantime we're continuing

6500
04:17:24,830 --> 04:17:21,500
to follow along just really minutes away

6501
04:17:28,250 --> 04:17:24,840
from uh completely detanking the Falcon

6502
04:17:30,769 --> 04:17:28,260
9 so we'll continue to follow along and

6503
04:17:33,349 --> 04:17:30,779
get this next status update until that's

6504
04:17:34,729 --> 04:17:33,359
completely detanked and we hear that

6505
04:17:38,809 --> 04:17:34,739
they're disarming the launch Escape

6506
04:17:43,729 --> 04:17:40,729
all right so okay we're continuing to

6507
04:17:45,769 --> 04:17:43,739
follow along really just uh sitting and

6508
04:17:48,410 --> 04:17:45,779
waiting at this point for that detanking

6509
04:17:49,729 --> 04:17:48,420
process but we should be expecting to

6510
04:17:52,849 --> 04:17:49,739
hear something from the ground teams

6511
04:17:58,610 --> 04:17:55,130
yeah that's right we continue to see the

6512
04:18:00,349 --> 04:17:58,620
crew remaining buckled in their seats

6513
04:18:02,929 --> 04:18:00,359
um keeping their hands inside the ride

6514
04:18:05,630 --> 04:18:02,939
at all times for a lack of a better

6515
04:18:07,429 --> 04:18:05,640
analogy uh yeah their advisors remain in

6516
04:18:09,229 --> 04:18:07,439
the closed position

6517
04:18:11,809 --> 04:18:09,239
um this of course is as you just

6518
04:18:14,929 --> 04:18:11,819
mentioned the launch Escape system is

6519
04:18:17,269 --> 04:18:14,939
still armed so while it is armed the

6520
04:18:22,189 --> 04:18:17,279
crew will stay exactly as you see them

6521
04:18:22,990 --> 04:18:22,199
now this is just in case a for some

6522
04:18:27,349 --> 04:18:23,000
reason

6523
04:18:30,590 --> 04:18:27,359
a dragon pad abort is required as I

6524
04:18:34,490 --> 04:18:30,600
mentioned before not likely but it's a

6525
04:18:37,309 --> 04:18:34,500
good backup of course crew safety is the

6526
04:18:40,150 --> 04:18:37,319
top priority at all times even as we

6527
04:18:43,010 --> 04:18:40,160
work through this nominal scrub

6528
04:18:46,689 --> 04:18:43,020
procedure so we will see the crew remain

6529
04:18:50,210 --> 04:18:46,699
like this until further notice basically

6530
04:18:51,410 --> 04:18:50,220
checking in on vehicle status here as I

6531
04:18:54,710 --> 04:18:51,420
mentioned before

6532
04:18:57,530 --> 04:18:54,720
the second stage completely empty of all

6533
04:19:00,590 --> 04:18:57,540
of its propellants the first stage lox

6534
04:19:03,290 --> 04:19:00,600
tank also basically completely empty I'm

6535
04:19:05,689 --> 04:19:03,300
seeing a tiny little bit of fuel that

6536
04:19:09,050 --> 04:19:05,699
rp1 rocket propellant one still coming

6537
04:19:10,510 --> 04:19:09,060
off of the first stage tank there but

6538
04:19:13,969 --> 04:19:10,520
for the most part

6539
04:19:16,010 --> 04:19:13,979
Falcon 9 is basically entirely empty of

6540
04:19:18,429 --> 04:19:16,020
its propellants at this point in time so

6541
04:19:22,010 --> 04:19:18,439
as I mentioned before we were expecting

6542
04:19:25,990 --> 04:19:22,020
this to wrap up sometime between 2 30

6543
04:19:30,469 --> 04:19:26,000
a.m and 2 40 a.m eastern time so now at

6544
04:19:34,130 --> 04:19:30,479
2 33 we are in that range so we should

6545
04:19:36,110 --> 04:19:34,140
be hearing momentarily from SpaceX core

6546
04:19:36,889 --> 04:19:36,120
Arthur berialt

6547
04:19:39,590 --> 04:19:36,899
um

6548
04:19:40,610 --> 04:19:39,600
located here at SpaceX Hawthorne Mission

6549
04:19:43,010 --> 04:19:40,620
Control

6550
04:19:44,570 --> 04:19:43,020
just behind Gary and I

6551
04:19:47,090 --> 04:19:44,580
um we should hear from him soon

6552
04:19:50,450 --> 04:19:47,100
indicating that the propellant

6553
04:19:53,450 --> 04:19:50,460
offloading is complete and that we will

6554
04:19:56,570 --> 04:19:53,460
then prepare to disarm the launch Escape

6555
04:19:59,990 --> 04:19:56,580
system so for those that have recently

6556
04:20:02,990 --> 04:20:00,000
tuned in we had a nominal countdown

6557
04:20:07,010 --> 04:20:03,000
um the T the SpaceX teams reported

6558
04:20:09,290 --> 04:20:07,020
um a issue with the t-tab the basically

6559
04:20:11,389 --> 04:20:09,300
the fluids that we use to ignite the

6560
04:20:13,849 --> 04:20:11,399
Merlin engines you can kind of think of

6561
04:20:16,670 --> 04:20:13,859
it like the spark plug to your car if

6562
04:20:19,490 --> 04:20:16,680
you drive a combustion engine vehicle so

6563
04:20:21,830 --> 04:20:19,500
that t-tep is a critical component to

6564
04:20:23,349 --> 04:20:21,840
getting the rocket to fly it's it's what

6565
04:20:27,889 --> 04:20:23,359
creates the spark

6566
04:20:30,530 --> 04:20:27,899
for that engine ignition so we heard

6567
04:20:32,929 --> 04:20:30,540
around T minus five minutes that the

6568
04:20:34,969 --> 04:20:32,939
SpaceX teams were troubleshooting an

6569
04:20:37,550 --> 04:20:34,979
issue and then about two and a half

6570
04:20:40,670 --> 04:20:37,560
minutes later at T minus two minutes 30

6571
04:20:42,469 --> 04:20:40,680
seconds there was a scrub called in the

6572
04:20:45,170 --> 04:20:42,479
launch down it was me in the launch

6573
04:20:48,349 --> 04:20:45,180
countdown but as I said

6574
04:20:51,050 --> 04:20:48,359
prior to that we had a nominal countdown

6575
04:20:53,269 --> 04:20:51,060
and now just working through this uh

6576
04:20:57,290 --> 04:20:53,279
this scrub procedure dragons Basics with

6577
04:20:57,300 --> 04:21:01,610
it's pretty 16 go ahead

6578
04:21:06,229 --> 04:21:04,010
at this time we have all propellant off

6579
04:21:10,269 --> 04:21:06,239
the vehicle and are proceeding with

6580
04:21:10,279 --> 04:21:22,670
Basics tracking copies

6581
04:21:22,680 --> 04:21:27,469
all right so that's an important call

6582
04:21:31,309 --> 04:21:29,870
propellant load or the propellant

6583
04:21:34,070 --> 04:21:31,319
offload rather

6584
04:21:37,729 --> 04:21:34,080
being complete so we'll be uh we'll be

6585
04:21:40,370 --> 04:21:37,739
tracking to see when the launch Escape

6586
04:21:42,349 --> 04:21:40,380
system gets disarmed

6587
04:21:44,330 --> 04:21:42,359
right now it's still armed just as a

6588
04:21:46,969 --> 04:21:44,340
precautionary measure as the ground

6589
04:21:49,790 --> 04:21:46,979
train teams continue to track the

6590
04:21:52,010 --> 04:21:49,800
package Basics with that call

6591
04:21:54,290 --> 04:21:52,020
you are go for section two of five

6592
04:22:02,090 --> 04:21:54,300
decimal 100 and disarm launch Escape

6593
04:22:05,870 --> 04:22:04,070
all right and I'm not sure what call

6594
04:22:06,830 --> 04:22:05,880
that was that they're referring to other

6595
04:22:11,349 --> 04:22:06,840
than

6596
04:22:16,250 --> 04:22:11,359
that we are going for today

6597
04:22:16,260 --> 04:22:21,950
and copy that good read back dragon

6598
04:22:27,889 --> 04:22:26,090
okay system saving we are two alpha one

6599
04:22:58,429 --> 04:22:27,899
and we're there at two alpha two but

6600
04:23:03,410 --> 04:23:00,889
so again if you're just tuning in the uh

6601
04:23:05,630 --> 04:23:03,420
ground teams were were tracking Propel

6602
04:23:07,670 --> 04:23:05,640
and offload so it'll be the crew

6603
04:23:09,950 --> 04:23:07,680
themselves inside crew Dragon endurance

6604
04:23:11,570 --> 04:23:09,960
that issues the command to turn off the

6605
04:23:13,790 --> 04:23:11,580
launch Escape system will wait for

6606
04:23:30,650 --> 04:23:13,800
confirmation of that command being

6607
04:23:35,389 --> 04:23:33,170
all right and it looks like we uh got

6608
04:23:42,229 --> 04:23:35,399
that confirmation that the launch Escape

6609
04:23:48,010 --> 04:23:44,889
so that uh that confronts

6610
04:23:52,429 --> 04:23:48,020
offload and the launch Escape system

6611
04:23:54,250 --> 04:23:52,439
disarmed so the crew will work uh

6612
04:24:17,349 --> 04:23:54,260
through this series

6613
04:24:24,349 --> 04:24:20,150
this SpaceX Dragon we are ready for a

6614
04:24:30,830 --> 04:24:25,910
SpaceX copies will report when

6615
04:24:37,010 --> 04:24:34,490
okay so uh recap of what happened we uh

6616
04:24:39,050 --> 04:24:37,020
declared a scrub inside two minutes 30

6617
04:24:40,870 --> 04:24:39,060
seconds that scrub time was actually two

6618
04:24:43,849 --> 04:24:40,880
minutes 14 seconds

6619
04:24:45,650 --> 04:24:43,859
and the scrub for the day uh since then

6620
04:24:55,010 --> 04:24:45,660
we've been in a nominal scrub uh

6621
04:24:55,020 --> 04:25:02,030
so we're continuing to follow along

6622
04:25:07,309 --> 04:25:05,689
and uh that uh crew access arm we did

6623
04:25:09,769 --> 04:25:07,319
get confirmation you can see it visually

6624
04:25:12,229 --> 04:25:09,779
actually it is swinging back into place

6625
04:25:20,330 --> 04:25:12,239
to access the side hatch on the side of

6626
04:25:26,689 --> 04:25:23,689
so again the uh

6627
04:25:28,550 --> 04:25:26,699
Falcon 9 is completely offloaded with

6628
04:25:31,550 --> 04:25:28,560
fuel and oxidizer and the launch Escape

6629
04:25:33,710 --> 04:25:31,560
system has been disarmed

6630
04:25:35,570 --> 04:25:33,720
those commands confirmed before going

6631
04:25:37,790 --> 04:25:35,580
ahead and Swinging The Crew access arm

6632
04:25:40,130 --> 04:25:37,800
back

6633
04:25:41,870 --> 04:25:40,140
you heard the uh command for seat

6634
04:25:48,349 --> 04:25:41,880
rotation

6635
04:25:54,110 --> 04:25:51,769
for launch the seat rotates up to about

6636
04:25:56,809 --> 04:25:54,120
a 14 degree angle that's the seat that's

6637
04:25:59,210 --> 04:25:56,819
the launch position

6638
04:26:16,610 --> 04:25:59,220
the seat rotation goes down to about a

6639
04:26:21,590 --> 04:26:18,530
so there we can see the crew access arm

6640
04:26:24,189 --> 04:26:21,600
closing the final inches as it moves

6641
04:26:28,370 --> 04:26:24,199
back toward Dragon Endeavor

6642
04:26:31,090 --> 04:26:28,380
we are now pulling the closeout team to

6643
04:26:34,309 --> 04:26:31,100
re-enter the BDA or a blast danger area

6644
04:26:36,710 --> 04:26:34,319
so as we've mentioned before they will

6645
04:26:39,710 --> 04:26:36,720
go back up the tower back down the crew

6646
04:26:42,050 --> 04:26:39,720
access arm reopen that side hatch and

6647
04:26:44,750 --> 04:26:42,060
help the astronauts egress from the

6648
04:26:49,130 --> 04:26:44,760
capsule as we heard called out earlier

6649
04:26:50,870 --> 04:26:49,140
the seats are back down in so they were

6650
04:26:54,050 --> 04:26:50,880
in the launch position they've rotated

6651
04:26:56,510 --> 04:26:54,060
back down into the egress Ingress

6652
04:26:59,990 --> 04:26:56,520
position so we can see the crew access

6653
04:27:03,710 --> 04:27:00,000
arm just closing the final inches up

6654
04:27:07,910 --> 04:27:05,389
at this point in time we're going to

6655
04:27:11,210 --> 04:27:07,920
head back over to Kennedy Space Center's

6656
04:27:14,330 --> 04:27:11,220
Daryl for additional updates

6657
04:27:15,950 --> 04:27:14,340
um I I'm sure that they can see the they

6658
04:27:18,469 --> 04:27:15,960
were able to see that crew access arm

6659
04:27:21,290 --> 04:27:18,479
move from their seats at the Press site

6660
04:27:23,570 --> 04:27:21,300
Daryl how are things over there

6661
04:27:26,269 --> 04:27:23,580
thank you Kate and yes indeed we could

6662
04:27:29,809 --> 04:27:26,279
see the crew access Arm coming back and

6663
04:27:32,149 --> 04:27:29,819
making a connection with dragon Endeavor

6664
04:27:33,170 --> 04:27:32,159
and as you see on the screen there the

6665
04:27:35,210 --> 04:27:33,180
white room

6666
04:27:39,469 --> 04:27:35,220
connected back in

6667
04:27:42,530 --> 04:27:39,479
and so as we watch the astronauts

6668
04:27:46,610 --> 04:27:42,540
can unbuckle and pull up their visors

6669
04:27:47,450 --> 04:27:46,620
take a moment to relax and uh from here

6670
04:27:49,790 --> 04:27:47,460
on

6671
04:27:51,410 --> 04:27:49,800
Commander Chari looks like they'll be

6672
04:27:53,030 --> 04:27:51,420
heading out at some point they should be

6673
04:27:54,769 --> 04:27:53,040
yeah and at this point the vehicle's uh

6674
04:27:58,130 --> 04:27:54,779
pretty much completely safe so with the

6675
04:28:00,229 --> 04:27:58,140
Las uh disarmed or saved there's

6676
04:28:02,510 --> 04:28:00,239
basically no longer active prop in the

6677
04:28:04,790 --> 04:28:02,520
F9 and also the super draco's are safe

6678
04:28:06,950 --> 04:28:04,800
on the vehicle so uh there that

6679
04:28:08,149 --> 04:28:06,960
completes their procedure 5.100 which is

6680
04:28:09,590 --> 04:28:08,159
the one they're running inside the

6681
04:28:12,110 --> 04:28:09,600
vehicle at this point they're just

6682
04:28:13,969 --> 04:28:12,120
waiting for the recovery crew to show up

6683
04:28:16,309 --> 04:28:13,979
like was mentioned earlier they have to

6684
04:28:18,229 --> 04:28:16,319
stay outside an exclusion area while

6685
04:28:20,689 --> 04:28:18,239
there's any potential of propellants or

6686
04:28:22,130 --> 04:28:20,699
the the abort engine's kicking off and

6687
04:28:24,469 --> 04:28:22,140
so now that that's safe those teams will

6688
04:28:26,570 --> 04:28:24,479
approach the vehicle you can see they

6689
04:28:27,469 --> 04:28:26,580
loosen their straps uh you know one of

6690
04:28:29,149 --> 04:28:27,479
the questions we were talking about

6691
04:28:30,170 --> 04:28:29,159
while we were listening to SpaceX was

6692
04:28:32,809 --> 04:28:30,180
why don't they just get out on their own

6693
04:28:34,370 --> 04:28:32,819
which they could but we mentioned before

6694
04:28:36,410 --> 04:28:34,380
that whole white room is a clean room

6695
04:28:38,990 --> 04:28:36,420
and so if they were to get out on their

6696
04:28:40,969 --> 04:28:39,000
own they may be like scuff a boot touch

6697
04:28:42,469 --> 04:28:40,979
a hatch seal and since all those things

6698
04:28:44,149 --> 04:28:42,479
we want to keep really pristine there's

6699
04:28:45,710 --> 04:28:44,159
there's no rush right now there's no

6700
04:28:47,149 --> 04:28:45,720
reason to risk anything like that you

6701
04:28:49,429 --> 04:28:47,159
know bumping a visor scratching

6702
04:28:51,229 --> 04:28:49,439
something tearing a Rubber seal so the

6703
04:28:52,309 --> 04:28:51,239
safest thing to do since we're gonna

6704
04:28:54,769 --> 04:28:52,319
have to do this again on the next

6705
04:28:56,330 --> 04:28:54,779
opportunity is to let the closeout crew

6706
04:28:58,010 --> 04:28:56,340
come and make sure they help them out

6707
04:28:59,750 --> 04:28:58,020
and make sure nothing is you know

6708
04:29:01,969 --> 04:28:59,760
nothing gets damaged or anything like

6709
04:29:03,649 --> 04:29:01,979
that on the way out and preserve the

6710
04:29:05,210 --> 04:29:03,659
opportunity uh those follow-on

6711
04:29:06,290 --> 04:29:05,220
opportunities the good news is the next

6712
04:29:07,729 --> 04:29:06,300
opportunities will probably go faster

6713
04:29:08,990 --> 04:29:07,739
because everyone's done it once now so

6714
04:29:10,790 --> 04:29:09,000
they've got they've got some more

6715
04:29:12,410 --> 04:29:10,800
practice they don't have to sign the

6716
04:29:14,750 --> 04:29:12,420
patch like you said they've knocked that

6717
04:29:17,510 --> 04:29:14,760
out so you save ourselves a few seconds

6718
04:29:19,610 --> 04:29:17,520
here and there and again that's uh for

6719
04:29:22,309 --> 04:29:19,620
the crew you know although there's the

6720
04:29:24,229 --> 04:29:22,319
the some you know uh disappointment of

6721
04:29:25,670 --> 04:29:24,239
like oh you didn't get to go but it

6722
04:29:26,689 --> 04:29:25,680
feels a lot just like another Sim and

6723
04:29:28,429 --> 04:29:26,699
another chance to go through the

6724
04:29:30,050 --> 04:29:28,439
procedures and other transfers like we

6725
04:29:31,670 --> 04:29:30,060
talked about once that rocket lights

6726
04:29:34,550 --> 04:29:31,680
things happen really really fast so the

6727
04:29:36,950 --> 04:29:34,560
more times you have to to walk through

6728
04:29:38,269 --> 04:29:36,960
it and talk through it and especially in

6729
04:29:40,010 --> 04:29:38,279
a case like this we're actually sitting

6730
04:29:42,769 --> 04:29:40,020
in the seats with the displays up

6731
04:29:45,950 --> 04:29:42,779
hearing the vehicle sounds that in and

6732
04:29:48,950 --> 04:29:45,960
of itself is a worthwhile experience and

6733
04:29:50,809 --> 04:29:48,960
it it makes you more uh perceptive if

6734
04:29:52,010 --> 04:29:50,819
things aren't nominal so the next time

6735
04:29:53,149 --> 04:29:52,020
if you hear a sound they're like well

6736
04:29:54,889 --> 04:29:53,159
that was that's not that's different

6737
04:29:56,990 --> 04:29:54,899
than what we heard before and have a

6738
04:29:58,309 --> 04:29:57,000
baseline for comparison uh looks like

6739
04:29:59,809 --> 04:29:58,319
Woody's playing with his box setting so

6740
04:30:01,130 --> 04:29:59,819
now that the advisor's up they're

6741
04:30:02,269 --> 04:30:01,140
probably changing their settings just so

6742
04:30:03,469 --> 04:30:02,279
they're not getting a background noise

6743
04:30:05,389 --> 04:30:03,479
you can see they're starting to get

6744
04:30:07,010 --> 04:30:05,399
their their gloves out unzipped yep

6745
04:30:09,889 --> 04:30:07,020
getting their hands out and just get a

6746
04:30:11,389 --> 04:30:09,899
little more just cool off and

6747
04:30:13,070 --> 04:30:11,399
um yeah just kind of hanging out

6748
04:30:15,229 --> 04:30:13,080
relaxing for the waiting for the crew to

6749
04:30:17,149 --> 04:30:15,239
come get them so crew six uh did a dry

6750
04:30:19,309 --> 04:30:17,159
dress just a few days ago we could think

6751
04:30:20,450 --> 04:30:19,319
of this as a wet dress exactly Yep this

6752
04:30:22,309 --> 04:30:20,460
one had the problem so the more

6753
04:30:25,130 --> 04:30:22,319
experience they get uh the better off

6754
04:30:27,229 --> 04:30:25,140
they'll be for the next attempt just to

6755
04:30:29,750 --> 04:30:27,239
recap if you're just joining us we scrub

6756
04:30:33,429 --> 04:30:29,760
the launch attempt at T minus two

6757
04:30:36,229 --> 04:30:33,439
minutes and 14 seconds before liftoff

6758
04:30:40,010 --> 04:30:36,239
there was a hold in the countdown

6759
04:30:42,830 --> 04:30:40,020
happened at 1 43 a.m eastern time the

6760
04:30:45,349 --> 04:30:42,840
SpaceX team encountered an issue in the

6761
04:30:49,130 --> 04:30:45,359
ground system affecting the loading of

6762
04:30:52,250 --> 04:30:49,140
triethyl aluminum and triethyl Boron

6763
04:30:55,790 --> 04:30:52,260
which together the acronym t-tab

6764
04:30:57,590 --> 04:30:55,800
they are the ignition fluids for F9 the

6765
04:30:59,990 --> 04:30:57,600
ground team couldn't provide sufficient

6766
04:31:03,050 --> 04:31:00,000
confidence of a full load of that t-tab

6767
04:31:05,269 --> 04:31:03,060
which is important to light all nine of

6768
04:31:08,809 --> 04:31:05,279
the Merlin 1D engines underneath the

6769
04:31:11,689 --> 04:31:08,819
falcon 9. so the team scrubbed it

6770
04:31:14,389 --> 04:31:11,699
and uh now they're going through their

6771
04:31:15,889 --> 04:31:14,399
procedures for launch scrub

6772
04:31:18,229 --> 04:31:15,899
and so

6773
04:31:25,550 --> 04:31:18,239
moving forward we have some launch

6774
04:31:29,809 --> 04:31:27,229
I mentioned the first one on February

6775
04:31:38,149 --> 04:31:29,819
28th there's also another one on March

6776
04:31:43,189 --> 04:31:40,309
yeah and if we were to go then we would

6777
04:31:46,070 --> 04:31:43,199
uh begin our NASA TV coverage on March

6778
04:31:48,469 --> 04:31:46,080
1st at 9 30 pm

6779
04:31:52,910 --> 04:31:48,479
and there will be a docking at 105 a.m

6780
04:31:55,849 --> 04:31:52,920
Eastern Time on March 3rd also want to

6781
04:31:58,670 --> 04:31:55,859
make a note that there is no press

6782
04:31:59,990 --> 04:31:58,680
conference tonight initially that was

6783
04:32:04,250 --> 04:32:00,000
scheduled

6784
04:32:05,649 --> 04:32:04,260
um had there been a nominal launch but

6785
04:32:08,630 --> 04:32:05,659
in this case

6786
04:32:11,269 --> 04:32:08,640
NASA is foregoing the opportunity for a

6787
04:32:14,630 --> 04:32:11,279
press conference and so stay tuned to

6788
04:32:18,769 --> 04:32:14,640
your social media channels

6789
04:32:20,870 --> 04:32:18,779
and NASA's officials we've pulled go for

6790
04:32:23,030 --> 04:32:20,880
the closeout team to start re-entering

6791
04:32:25,070 --> 04:32:23,040
the BDA and they'll be back alongside

6792
04:32:28,010 --> 04:32:25,080
you at the capsule shortly

6793
04:32:30,110 --> 04:32:28,020
uh and helping you egress additionally

6794
04:32:31,250 --> 04:32:30,120
just want to do a quick Comfort check uh

6795
04:32:32,929 --> 04:32:31,260
make sure you guys are still feel okay

6796
04:32:43,670 --> 04:32:32,939
sitting there and if you need a PMC I

6797
04:32:48,590 --> 04:32:46,970
and wait for Captain Bowen to respond

6798
04:32:50,750 --> 04:32:48,600
[Music]

6799
04:32:52,250 --> 04:32:50,760
waiting on the opportunity to get out of

6800
04:32:55,130 --> 04:32:52,260
the castle

6801
04:32:56,689 --> 04:32:55,140
all right SpaceX copies

6802
04:32:59,030 --> 04:32:56,699
yeah so the call there you heard was uh

6803
04:33:00,469 --> 04:32:59,040
that gives the crew some essay that uh

6804
04:33:01,550 --> 04:33:00,479
the recovery crew is going to be

6805
04:33:03,410 --> 04:33:01,560
approaching because if they do hear

6806
04:33:05,510 --> 04:33:03,420
bumps or see Shadows or Silhouettes

6807
04:33:06,890 --> 04:33:05,520
moving outside the windows you can't see

6808
04:33:08,750 --> 04:33:06,900
you don't have direct line of sight into

6809
04:33:10,369 --> 04:33:08,760
the room but you can see maybe some

6810
04:33:11,570 --> 04:33:10,379
movement or light changes and that lets

6811
04:33:13,849 --> 04:33:11,580
you know that's people that's intended

6812
04:33:15,470 --> 04:33:13,859
versus something off nominal happening

6813
04:33:17,631 --> 04:33:15,480
and then a PMC stands for a private

6814
04:33:19,131 --> 04:33:17,641
medical conference and as you heard

6815
04:33:21,709 --> 04:33:19,141
they're doing fine just waiting to get

6816
04:33:25,250 --> 04:33:23,150

6817
04:33:29,090 --> 04:33:25,260

6819
04:33:33,170 --> 04:33:30,959
