[Music]

4
00:00:55,069 --> 00:00:52,440
you're watching live coverage of the

5
00:00:57,170 --> 00:00:55,079
NASA SpaceX crew 5 Mission as they

6
00:00:58,970 --> 00:00:57,180
return to Earth Dragon endurance

7
00:01:02,450 --> 00:00:58,980
Departed the International Space Station

8
00:01:04,490 --> 00:01:02,460
at 11 20 p.m Pacific last night with

9
00:01:07,490 --> 00:01:04,500
NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh

10
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:07,500
Josh cassida jaxa astronaut koichi

11
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:09,960
wakada and roscosmos cosmonaut in

12
00:01:14,270 --> 00:01:12,000
akikuna currently they're on their way

13
00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:14,280
to the targeted Splashdown site off the

14
00:01:18,109 --> 00:01:16,619
coast of Tampa Florida my name is Kate

15
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:18,119
Tice and I'm the quality systems

16
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:20,580
engineering manager here at SpaceX and

17
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:21,840
joining me today from NASA

18
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:24,060
Communications is Leah Cheshire thanks

19
00:01:27,649 --> 00:01:25,920
Kate it's always great to be here and of

20
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:27,659
course another exciting day bringing a

21
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:29,100
crew back from the International Space

22
00:01:34,429 --> 00:01:31,860
Station so upon departing station Dragon

23
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:34,439
underwent a sequence of departure Burns

24
00:01:38,030 --> 00:01:36,180
since then the crew had a rest period

25
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:38,040
and has since kicked off preparations

26
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:39,840
for re-entry things are sounding pretty

27
00:01:43,730 --> 00:01:42,180
good so far so in this next phase of the

28
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:43,740
mission is when things really ramp up

29
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,960
and happen pretty quickly dragon has a

30
00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:47,280
series of steps to complete before

31
00:01:52,429 --> 00:01:50,100
returning crew 5 back to Earth First

32
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,439
Dragon will maneuver to the correct

33
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:54,720
attitude and jettison its trunk which is

34
00:01:58,670 --> 00:01:56,820
the cylindrical unpressurized part of

35
00:02:00,530 --> 00:01:58,680
the spacecraft the trunk is currently

36
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:00,540
connected to the AFT or the bottom

37
00:02:05,209 --> 00:02:03,000
section of the Dragon capsule where the

38
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:05,219
heat shield is located so in order to

39
00:02:08,749 --> 00:02:06,840
expose that heat shield and get the

40
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:08,759
vehicle ready for atmospheric re-entry

41
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:11,340
we'll jettison that trunk and just a

42
00:02:16,910 --> 00:02:13,500
quick look right now inside crew Dragon

43
00:02:19,089 --> 00:02:16,920
uh with our commander Nicole Mann on the

44
00:02:21,530 --> 00:02:19,099
left and pilot Josh cassida on the right

45
00:02:23,809 --> 00:02:21,540
after we jettison that trunk we're

46
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:23,819
looking for that to come up uh not too

47
00:02:26,449 --> 00:02:25,200
long from now but from there the

48
00:02:28,729 --> 00:02:26,459
spacecraft will use its forward

49
00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:28,739
thrusters to perform the deorbit burn

50
00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:30,959
which will put dragon on a trajectory to

51
00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:33,060
return to Earth the burn will last just

52
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:35,400
over 11 minutes once it starts and it

53
00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:38,220
uses the Draco thrusters on Dragon these

54
00:02:42,589 --> 00:02:40,020
are the four located on the forward

55
00:02:44,210 --> 00:02:42,599
bulkhead primarily and it's executed at

56
00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:44,220
the apogee or the highest point of

57
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:46,500
dragon's current orbit around Earth this

58
00:02:49,850 --> 00:02:48,239
will alter dragon's paths ultimately

59
00:02:51,530 --> 00:02:49,860
line it up to re-enter Earth's

60
00:02:53,150 --> 00:02:51,540
atmosphere and splash down off the coast

61
00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:53,160
of Tampa Florida

62
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:54,900
uh that's right and we're actually

63
00:02:59,089 --> 00:02:57,120
looking at that trunk separation to

64
00:03:02,750 --> 00:02:59,099
happen in about three minutes the orbit

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,630
and we've heard

66
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:07,850
good calls from the corps here in

67
00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:09,480
Mission Control Hawthorne that's the

68
00:03:13,490 --> 00:03:10,980
mission control room you see on your

69
00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:13,500
screen to the crew another good interior

70
00:03:17,149 --> 00:03:15,480
shot down in the bottom left-hand Corner

71
00:03:20,809 --> 00:03:17,159
that's onakikina there is Cosmos

72
00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:20,819
Cosmonaut that has flown on crew 5 and

73
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,700
then we are also on the other side of

74
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,440
the spacecraft we didn't get a good look

75
00:03:30,649 --> 00:03:27,920
at him but it's koichiwakata that jaxa

76
00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:30,659
astronaut that has joined us as well so

77
00:03:35,089 --> 00:03:32,700
again good calls we've heard good

78
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:35,099
confirmation of suit leak checks up

79
00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:36,659
until this point as you can see the

80
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:38,519
astronauts are in their suits and seats

81
00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,799
after they had some time to rest and

82
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:42,720
relax over the past what's it been

83
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:45,000
18-ish hours since they undocked

84
00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:46,440
yesterday yeah

85
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:48,120
um like everything that occurs on the

86
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:49,680
International Space Station everything

87
00:03:53,869 --> 00:03:51,840
is scheduled it's choreographed

88
00:03:56,509 --> 00:03:53,879
including that sleep period that crew

89
00:04:01,009 --> 00:03:56,519
rest period where basically the crew got

90
00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:01,019
to clock off duty and rest relax enjoy

91
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:04,620
the view I would imagine yeah absolutely

92
00:04:09,050 --> 00:04:06,840
so at this point in time like we

93
00:04:11,570 --> 00:04:09,060
mentioned we are coming up to the

94
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:11,580
separation of the claw which is the

95
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:13,920
mechanism that holds that trunk that

96
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:16,440
unpressurized uh section of the Dragon

97
00:04:21,530 --> 00:04:19,680
capsule onto the pressurized section

98
00:04:23,450 --> 00:04:21,540
um so we're about a minute away from

99
00:04:26,510 --> 00:04:23,460
that claw separation and then trunk

100
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:26,520
separation uh will occur about in about

101
00:04:29,810 --> 00:04:28,080
a minute and a half

102
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:29,820
um so yeah that trunk like we said

103
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:31,440
before is the unpressurized section

104
00:04:35,629 --> 00:04:33,840
that's where we can store cargo that is

105
00:04:37,969 --> 00:04:35,639
able to be exposed to the vacuum of

106
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:37,979
space and of course the astronauts are

107
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:39,960
in the pressurized section but that heat

108
00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:41,820
shield is located at the bottom of the

109
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:43,320
pressurized section so it's currently

110
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:45,780
being covered up by that trunk so we'll

111
00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:47,340
separate the trunk to expose that heat

112
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:49,320
shield another important thing to note

113
00:04:52,909 --> 00:04:51,120
is when we do claw separation we're

114
00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:52,919
separating those umbilicals that connect

115
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:55,380
the trunk to the pressurized section or

116
00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:57,240
the actual Dragon capsule where the

117
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:00,000
astronauts are so the solar cells that

118
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:01,620
are wrapped around the trunk those will

119
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:03,060
of course be detached and once we

120
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:05,280
dispose of the trunk dragging it will be

121
00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:08,160
on internal battery power yeah so pretty

122
00:05:13,010 --> 00:05:10,500
exciting um all of this

123
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:13,020
um you know as you mentioned Leah it's

124
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:15,720
been 18 hours of progress

125
00:05:20,330 --> 00:05:17,940
um but at this point in time to prepare

126
00:05:22,249 --> 00:05:20,340
for the upcoming events uh right now the

127
00:05:23,930 --> 00:05:22,259
dragon spacecraft is doing a couple of

128
00:05:26,749 --> 00:05:23,940
things autonomously meaning it's doing

129
00:05:28,670 --> 00:05:26,759
it on its own it's isolating the thermal

130
00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:28,680
control system fluid Loops from the

131
00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:31,199
radiator this system is what will help

132
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:33,199
keep the internal temperature of dragon

133
00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:36,240
uh very comfortable for Nicole Josh

134
00:05:41,150 --> 00:05:38,520
koichi and Anna during that re-entry

135
00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:41,160
phase dragon is also initiating

136
00:05:46,189 --> 00:05:43,380
separation of the claw mechanism like I

137
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:46,199
said that's coming up uh in about 10

138
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:49,020
seconds or so and that will terminate

139
00:05:52,850 --> 00:05:51,120
like Leah just said that data the power

140
00:05:54,590 --> 00:05:52,860
and the fluid connections between the

141
00:05:56,510 --> 00:05:54,600
capsule and the trunk

142
00:05:59,810 --> 00:05:56,520
so we're standing by to listen for the

143
00:06:02,570 --> 00:05:59,820
call out for trunk separation

144
00:06:04,010 --> 00:06:02,580
and I got one update that we are in the

145
00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:04,020
proper attitude for that trunk

146
00:06:07,490 --> 00:06:05,820
separation so just one more of those

147
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:07,500
checks that we were standing by to hear

148
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,280
again we are just in a waiting game

149
00:06:16,010 --> 00:06:14,160
until we have that claw and trunk

150
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:16,020
separation but that

151
00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:19,320
nominal trunk jettison

152
00:06:25,730 --> 00:06:21,060
all right there's that call great news

153
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:27,469
so as you can hear that like we

154
00:06:30,770 --> 00:06:29,039
mentioned is the core calling out to the

155
00:06:32,330 --> 00:06:30,780
crew they report that they copy because

156
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:32,340
they're able to keep track of it on

157
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:34,080
those crew displays that we could see

158
00:06:38,749 --> 00:06:36,720
over their shoulders so again the claw

159
00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:38,759
and trunk just separated the claws where

160
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:40,740
those umbilicals for power and Telemetry

161
00:06:45,529 --> 00:06:43,380
are from the trunk and its solar arrays

162
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:45,539
connect to the capsule so now that

163
00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:47,360
they're disconnected again dragon is

164
00:06:53,450 --> 00:06:51,180
exclusively on battery power and we just

165
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:53,460
uh additionally got that confirmation of

166
00:06:58,370 --> 00:06:55,800
successful trunk jettison as well

167
00:07:01,909 --> 00:06:58,380
coming right on time at about 506 PM

168
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:04,010
so with that trunk separation Telemetry

169
00:07:09,050 --> 00:07:06,360
is looking good the nitrox system is

170
00:07:11,390 --> 00:07:09,060
primed for cabin and suit Cooling and

171
00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:11,400
the heat shield is now exposed the trunk

172
00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:14,220
is no longer needed and that is setting

173
00:07:20,450 --> 00:07:17,220
us up for our deorbit burn here coming

174
00:07:22,670 --> 00:07:20,460
up scheduled to start at 5 11 pm Pacific

175
00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:22,680
time again we anticipate that will last

176
00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:24,360
about 11 minutes

177
00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:27,120
yeah that born acts I mean that burn is

178
00:07:31,730 --> 00:07:29,520
an important one that is what commits

179
00:07:32,689 --> 00:07:31,740
the crew to that location like we said

180
00:07:34,969 --> 00:07:32,699
we're

181
00:07:36,650 --> 00:07:34,979
um setting up for a landing off the

182
00:07:38,809 --> 00:07:36,660
coast of Tampa Florida

183
00:07:41,089 --> 00:07:38,819
um and it's that de-orbit burn that um

184
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:41,099
is the final burn that Dragon performs

185
00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:43,380
to really re-enter the Earth's

186
00:07:48,110 --> 00:07:45,900
atmosphere now up next we have the final

187
00:07:51,230 --> 00:07:48,120
steps that Dragon will perform prior to

188
00:07:53,870 --> 00:07:51,240
re-entry the slough or maneuver to uh

189
00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,880
Dior burn attitude and the do orbit burn

190
00:07:58,249 --> 00:07:55,680
itself Leah you did indicate that that

191
00:08:00,830 --> 00:07:58,259
attitude was correct in that we're gonna

192
00:08:02,330 --> 00:08:00,840
start that do orbit burn soon that will

193
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:02,340
be the last time that the forward

194
00:08:07,129 --> 00:08:04,860
draco's which are the fourth thrust

195
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:07,139
thrusters located on top of the vehicle

196
00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:09,060
near the nose cone it's the last time

197
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:11,039
that those will ignite the deorbit burn

198
00:08:15,890 --> 00:08:12,720
will place dragon on a precise

199
00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:15,900
trajectory to return to the Splashdown

200
00:08:20,210 --> 00:08:18,300
Zone off the coast of Florida and like

201
00:08:21,890 --> 00:08:20,220
Leo said it'll last about 11 minutes

202
00:08:23,869 --> 00:08:21,900
once it begins

203
00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:23,879
and again we're tracking that to come

204
00:08:30,529 --> 00:08:28,500
around uh 5 11 p.m Pacific so 8 11 p.m

205
00:08:32,510 --> 00:08:30,539
eastern time and we are actually under

206
00:08:34,190 --> 00:08:32,520
an hour now until our anticipated

207
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,200
Splashdown time so when we say things

208
00:08:37,730 --> 00:08:36,240
are happening fast they are happening

209
00:08:39,170 --> 00:08:37,740
pretty fast

210
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:39,180
um but again this is an autonomous

211
00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:41,880
flight like we've seen with dragon uh in

212
00:08:46,190 --> 00:08:44,039
the past and our four crew members are

213
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:46,200
riding comfortably it appears their

214
00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:48,240
visors are still up

215
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:50,399
um once we get closer to that do orbit

216
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:52,080
burn we anticipate to hear a call from

217
00:08:55,550 --> 00:08:53,279
the court of the crude go ahead and

218
00:08:58,370 --> 00:08:55,560
lower their visors just as a

219
00:09:01,130 --> 00:08:58,380
precautionary measure ahead of that

220
00:09:04,009 --> 00:09:01,140
major burn that's right and the crew has

221
00:09:07,550 --> 00:09:04,019
already completed the required suit leak

222
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:07,560
checks uh it's basically when they put

223
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:10,860
pull all the zippers up close the visor

224
00:09:16,910 --> 00:09:14,580
into the locked position and uh the

225
00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:16,920
dragon spacecraft pressurizes or

226
00:09:21,949 --> 00:09:19,860
basically flows a little bit of that air

227
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:21,959
into the suits and holds it at a certain

228
00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:24,240
pressure for a certain amount of time

229
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:26,160
usually a couple minutes just to make

230
00:09:29,930 --> 00:09:28,560
sure that those suits are all basically

231
00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:29,940
all the zippers are in place and that

232
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,820
that seal with the visor is functional

233
00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:35,040
and really just making sure that that

234
00:09:39,889 --> 00:09:37,980
the spacesuit provides its own

235
00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:39,899
individual environment for the crew

236
00:09:45,769 --> 00:09:43,200
member during the more Dynamic events of

237
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:45,779
of today's procedures so like Leah just

238
00:09:50,329 --> 00:09:48,000
said we can see that those visors are

239
00:09:51,769 --> 00:09:50,339
still up but we know that they've

240
00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:51,779
already completed the suit leak checks

241
00:09:55,790 --> 00:09:54,360
had four good leak checks there you can

242
00:09:58,910 --> 00:09:55,800
it's also a great shot because you can

243
00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:58,920
see the tablet on Commander Nicole man's

244
00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,200
leg so those are the tablets that are

245
00:10:06,590 --> 00:10:03,920
used for monitoring dragon's progress

246
00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:06,600
and and the different statuses and

247
00:10:12,050 --> 00:10:09,660
states the vehicle is in it's also what

248
00:10:14,570 --> 00:10:12,060
they use to log the consumables during

249
00:10:17,570 --> 00:10:14,580
flight so we talked before about that

250
00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,580
period of time where the crew is off

251
00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:19,680
duty they can do whatever they want to

252
00:10:23,150 --> 00:10:20,760
do

253
00:10:25,730 --> 00:10:23,160
um and as you can imagine being staying

254
00:10:28,070 --> 00:10:25,740
hydrating staying staying hydrated is

255
00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:28,080
important and they use those tablets to

256
00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:30,420
track how much water they drank and out

257
00:10:34,490 --> 00:10:32,880
of which water bottle it was so it's

258
00:10:36,290 --> 00:10:34,500
just helping to

259
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:36,300
make make sure that everything is

260
00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:37,980
accounted for

261
00:10:42,829 --> 00:10:40,860
like we said we're coming up to uh the

262
00:10:45,470 --> 00:10:42,839
Dew orbit burn

263
00:10:56,569 --> 00:10:45,480
about five seconds away

264
00:11:02,030 --> 00:10:58,910
now again this is going to be an 11

265
00:11:03,889 --> 00:11:02,040
minute burn approximately

266
00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:03,899
just over 11 minutes it's pretty large

267
00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:05,940
we've got to slow the astronauts down

268
00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:09,360
from orbital velocity at 17 500 miles

269
00:11:13,250 --> 00:11:12,120
per hour and put them on that track to

270
00:11:15,290 --> 00:11:13,260
uh

271
00:11:17,449 --> 00:11:15,300
through Tampa Florida and not splash

272
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,459
down if you look you can see the windows

273
00:11:22,130 --> 00:11:20,160
near Josh cast with his feet actually

274
00:11:23,930 --> 00:11:22,140
it's in the background but it's bright

275
00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:23,940
it's it's clearly they're in an orbital

276
00:11:28,610 --> 00:11:26,040
daylight when you're traveling at

277
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,620
orbital velocity 17 500 miles per hour

278
00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:30,720
you see a sunrise and a sunset every 45

279
00:11:35,569 --> 00:11:32,820
minutes

280
00:11:36,889 --> 00:11:35,579
and if you look on their crew displays

281
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:36,899
it looks like you can see some of the

282
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:39,120
thrusters are firing so

283
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:39,959
um

284
00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:42,420
sounds like the

285
00:11:48,769 --> 00:11:45,839
orbit burn is underway again started

286
00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:48,779
right on time at 5 11 p.m Pacific

287
00:11:53,870 --> 00:11:51,720
targeting about 11 minutes for that burn

288
00:11:58,670 --> 00:11:53,880
we're looking at about 10 minutes and 20

289
00:12:03,710 --> 00:12:01,130
within just the last 10 minutes Dragon

290
00:12:06,829 --> 00:12:03,720
jettisoned its trunk it initiated that

291
00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:06,839
jorbit burn about two minutes ago now

292
00:12:11,150 --> 00:12:08,880
so for these operations NASA and SpaceX

293
00:12:13,069 --> 00:12:11,160
closely coordinate with the United

294
00:12:15,170 --> 00:12:13,079
States Coast Guard and have established

295
00:12:17,449 --> 00:12:15,180
a safety zone to ensure public safety

296
00:12:19,970 --> 00:12:17,459
safety of those involved and in the

297
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:19,980
recovery operations as well as of course

298
00:12:23,449 --> 00:12:21,300
our crew on board the returning

299
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,459
spacecraft so multiple notices are

300
00:12:27,650 --> 00:12:25,440
issued to the Mariners in advance and

301
00:12:29,210 --> 00:12:27,660
during recovery operations and Coast

302
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:29,220
Guard Patrol boats are deployed to

303
00:12:33,769 --> 00:12:31,560
discourage boaters from entering the

304
00:12:35,569 --> 00:12:33,779
Splashdown zones so we want to take a

305
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:35,579
moment to stress to the public the need

306
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:38,880
to respect this safety zone recovering a

307
00:12:42,769 --> 00:12:40,920
spacecraft from the water is a hazardous

308
00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:42,779
operation and so any other boats

309
00:12:46,670 --> 00:12:44,760
interfering in this process can increase

310
00:12:48,650 --> 00:12:46,680
risk to the astronauts in the capsule

311
00:12:50,389 --> 00:12:48,660
those teams working to recover them from

312
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:50,399
the water and of course even the safety

313
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:53,519
of any public voters so for the safety

314
00:12:58,610 --> 00:12:56,220
of the crew and yours we recommend

315
00:13:00,410 --> 00:12:58,620
tuning in here just sit back and watch

316
00:13:03,769 --> 00:13:00,420
we're going to give you the best views

317
00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:03,779
of our astronauts on their way home

318
00:13:08,569 --> 00:13:06,000
like I mentioned earlier this D orbit

319
00:13:11,329 --> 00:13:08,579
burn is the last time those four forward

320
00:13:14,269 --> 00:13:11,339
Draco thrusters will fire dragon

321
00:13:16,190 --> 00:13:14,279
endurance has not yet entered the

322
00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:16,200
Earth's atmosphere the steel burn is

323
00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:18,000
what will line the vehicle up and put it

324
00:13:23,030 --> 00:13:20,100
on its final trajectory to The Landing

325
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:23,040
site off the coast of Tampa Florida

326
00:13:27,889 --> 00:13:24,720
as you can see on your screen there

327
00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:27,899
right now Nicole Josh koichi and Anna

328
00:13:33,650 --> 00:13:30,720
are using their screens to keep tabs on

329
00:13:35,449 --> 00:13:33,660
that burn duration the Draco Thruster

330
00:13:37,610 --> 00:13:35,459
firings which you can see lighting up on

331
00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:37,620
those displays in front of them the

332
00:13:42,470 --> 00:13:39,720
trajectory details like the entry angle

333
00:13:44,269 --> 00:13:42,480
capsule pair G and how much distance

334
00:13:47,150 --> 00:13:44,279
remaining until the orbit burn

335
00:13:49,850 --> 00:13:47,160
termination so in that Center screen you

336
00:13:52,129 --> 00:13:49,860
can actually see their trajectory their

337
00:13:54,829 --> 00:13:52,139
planned trajectory there dragon is

338
00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:54,839
flying itself so all of the crew all

339
00:13:59,629 --> 00:13:57,480
that the crew has to do is stay strapped

340
00:14:02,030 --> 00:13:59,639
in their seats and keep tabs on things

341
00:14:03,889 --> 00:14:02,040
which I know for me personally

342
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:03,899
um I love looking out windows when I'm

343
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:06,000
traveling especially in airplanes and so

344
00:14:09,290 --> 00:14:07,920
I imagine if I were flying this part

345
00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:09,300
would be really hard for me because I

346
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:11,040
just want to get out of my seat and look

347
00:14:14,449 --> 00:14:12,779
out the window those last few space

348
00:14:15,769 --> 00:14:14,459
views I'm with you I'm always a window

349
00:14:18,110 --> 00:14:15,779
seat girl

350
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:18,120
now with Nicole Josh koichi and Anna

351
00:14:22,430 --> 00:14:20,579
ready to deorbit and splash down back on

352
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:22,440
planet Earth they'll be heading to one

353
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:24,480
of seven targeted sites supported by

354
00:14:28,670 --> 00:14:26,940
SpaceX and NASA all of these sites are

355
00:14:30,889 --> 00:14:28,680
located off the coast of Florida either

356
00:14:31,850 --> 00:14:30,899
in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic

357
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,860
Ocean

358
00:14:35,690 --> 00:14:33,600
spreading the supported sites across

359
00:14:37,730 --> 00:14:35,700
multiple locations actually helps to

360
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:37,740
maximize the return opportunities for

361
00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:40,560
this Mission and future Cruise lowering

362
00:14:44,329 --> 00:14:42,240
the chance that we'll have to wave off

363
00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:44,339
due to bad weather so pretty helpful

364
00:14:49,129 --> 00:14:46,800
yeah absolutely So Yesterday NASA and

365
00:14:51,410 --> 00:14:49,139
SpaceX together selected primary and

366
00:14:53,030 --> 00:14:51,420
Alternate Splashdown locations obviously

367
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:53,040
our primary as we've discussed is off

368
00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:54,720
the coast of Tampa Florida and the

369
00:14:58,670 --> 00:14:57,360
alternate is Daytona this selection

370
00:15:00,530 --> 00:14:58,680
process works with a lot of different

371
00:15:02,509 --> 00:15:00,540
variables including the Space Station's

372
00:15:04,910 --> 00:15:02,519
orbital trajectory The Landing sites

373
00:15:06,769 --> 00:15:04,920
available and favorable weather as you

374
00:15:08,750 --> 00:15:06,779
mentioned of course how much free flight

375
00:15:10,490 --> 00:15:08,760
capability dragon has for the trip home

376
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:10,500
and the sleep schedule for those

377
00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:12,180
returning crew members

378
00:15:16,910 --> 00:15:13,920
we'll start with calculating daily

379
00:15:19,009 --> 00:15:16,920
return options based off of the Space

380
00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:19,019
Station's current orbit and dragon's

381
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:21,300
capabilities to maneuver and line up for

382
00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:24,240
re-entry the time from undock to landing

383
00:15:29,569 --> 00:15:26,519
at the primary site can vary from less

384
00:15:31,370 --> 00:15:29,579
than six hours to more than 39. getting

385
00:15:34,009 --> 00:15:31,380
home the quickest comes with some

386
00:15:36,350 --> 00:15:34,019
obvious benefits but we always have to

387
00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,360
make sure that the crew is properly

388
00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:38,880
rested for dynamic operations preventing

389
00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:41,519
us from scheduling 20 plus hour days for

390
00:15:45,889 --> 00:15:44,160
them trajectory and ballistics experts

391
00:15:47,689 --> 00:15:45,899
provide the daily opportunities that

392
00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:47,699
would line up dragon with the seven

393
00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:49,980
Landing zones and split them into what

394
00:15:54,170 --> 00:15:52,260
we call ascending and descending

395
00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:54,180
opportunities

396
00:15:58,490 --> 00:15:56,399
Dragon uses its Draco thrusters after

397
00:16:00,410 --> 00:15:58,500
leaving station to execute a series of

398
00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:00,420
altitude lowering Maneuvers and to line

399
00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:02,820
up with this selected primary site but

400
00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:04,079
it can also change to different

401
00:16:07,610 --> 00:16:06,180
alternate sites while in Free Flight if

402
00:16:09,530 --> 00:16:07,620
sudden weather moves in that we need to

403
00:16:11,449 --> 00:16:09,540
avoid that's something we're currently

404
00:16:13,730 --> 00:16:11,459
are constantly looking at is weather so

405
00:16:15,530 --> 00:16:13,740
we make the final call to proceed about

406
00:16:18,350 --> 00:16:15,540
two and a half hours before the crew

407
00:16:20,210 --> 00:16:18,360
undocks for the crew 5 return as always

408
00:16:22,189 --> 00:16:20,220
we look at a number of weather items

409
00:16:23,629 --> 00:16:22,199
some of those more obvious ones are no

410
00:16:26,030 --> 00:16:23,639
rain or chance of lightning in the

411
00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:26,040
recovery zone both for the safety of the

412
00:16:29,389 --> 00:16:27,600
crew in the capsule and the recovery

413
00:16:31,310 --> 00:16:29,399
teams on the water we're also looking

414
00:16:33,710 --> 00:16:31,320
for wind speeds less than 15 feet per

415
00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:33,720
second or about 10 miles per hour and

416
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:36,000
relatively calm seas so we can safely

417
00:16:39,829 --> 00:16:38,220
execute recovery operations which

418
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:39,839
includes Landing a helicopter on the

419
00:16:45,650 --> 00:16:42,720
recovery ship to fly Nicole Josh quiche

420
00:16:47,389 --> 00:16:45,660
and Anna back to Florida now I have

421
00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:47,399
heard the weather described in four

422
00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:50,220
different ways for this Tampa site I've

423
00:16:56,210 --> 00:16:53,759
heard go very go home run and stupendous

424
00:16:58,490 --> 00:16:56,220
so it sounds like they have a pretty

425
00:17:01,790 --> 00:16:58,500
nice landing site waiting for them today

426
00:17:05,449 --> 00:17:01,800
I think one time we also got super go oh

427
00:17:07,549 --> 00:17:05,459
wow that's another level

428
00:17:08,929 --> 00:17:07,559
so once Dragon began flying free

429
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:08,939
yesterday there were a number of

430
00:17:12,530 --> 00:17:10,140
additional checkpoints to either

431
00:17:14,329 --> 00:17:12,540
proceeded toward the primary site head

432
00:17:16,610 --> 00:17:14,339
to the alternate or select a new Zone

433
00:17:18,650 --> 00:17:16,620
based on real-time weather data these

434
00:17:20,270 --> 00:17:18,660
checks happened all the way up and so we

435
00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:20,280
are in the final hours before the

436
00:17:24,289 --> 00:17:22,079
diorbit burn which started about six

437
00:17:26,510 --> 00:17:24,299
minutes ago that's this last burn in the

438
00:17:28,370 --> 00:17:26,520
trip home and it commits the Dragon

439
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:28,380
capsule to re-entering the Earth's

440
00:17:46,909 --> 00:17:44,390
now before we go any further let's go

441
00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:46,919
ahead and take a minute to meet our crew

442
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:48,960
first up is Nicole Mann on the left side

443
00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,580
of the screen there she's the California

444
00:17:54,770 --> 00:17:52,799
Native who holds a master of science in

445
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:54,780
mechanical engineering and is a colonel

446
00:17:59,390 --> 00:17:56,880
in the Marine Corps she was an fa-18

447
00:18:01,370 --> 00:17:59,400
Hornet and Super Hornet test pilot and

448
00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:01,380
deployed twice aboard aircraft carriers

449
00:18:06,350 --> 00:18:03,840
in support of combat operations in Iraq

450
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:06,360
and Afghanistan Nicole was selected by

451
00:18:10,970 --> 00:18:08,880
NASA in June 2013 and in the years that

452
00:18:12,710 --> 00:18:10,980
followed led the astronaut core in the

453
00:18:15,650 --> 00:18:12,720
development of Hardware in the Artemis

454
00:18:17,810 --> 00:18:15,660
program she is the dragon Commander for

455
00:18:19,370 --> 00:18:17,820
crew 5 which was her first space flight

456
00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:19,380
she's right there in the foreground of

457
00:18:23,150 --> 00:18:21,240
the shot monitoring the stew orbit burn

458
00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:23,160
and she is also the first Native

459
00:18:26,930 --> 00:18:24,720
American woman to stay on the

460
00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:26,940
International Space Station

461
00:18:32,090 --> 00:18:29,760
sitting next to Nicole is Josh cassida

462
00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:32,100
who grew up in Bear Lake Minnesota the

463
00:18:36,890 --> 00:18:34,500
physicist and U.S Navy test pilot flew

464
00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:36,900
23 combat missions and later became an

465
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:39,360
instructor at the U.S naval test pilot

466
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:41,220
school which is a common path Military

467
00:18:47,570 --> 00:18:44,760
Officers to take take to join NASA

468
00:18:49,850 --> 00:18:47,580
cassida is one of more than 100

469
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:49,860
graduates who became astronauts going

470
00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,559
back to the Mercury program on Earth he

471
00:18:57,169 --> 00:18:54,960
served as capsule commander in mission

472
00:18:59,930 --> 00:18:57,179
control but for his first space flight

473
00:19:01,370 --> 00:18:59,940
on crew 5 he has served as pilot on

474
00:19:03,230 --> 00:19:01,380
Dragon

475
00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:03,240
in the role of mission Specialists you

476
00:19:07,850 --> 00:19:05,160
can't see him here he's to the left of

477
00:19:09,950 --> 00:19:07,860
uh Nicole that's Japanese astronaut koit

478
00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:09,960
iwakata koichi has a doctorate in

479
00:19:14,210 --> 00:19:12,480
aerospace engineering and in 1996 became

480
00:19:15,789 --> 00:19:14,220
the first Japanese Mission specialist

481
00:19:18,770 --> 00:19:15,799
aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor for

482
00:19:21,470 --> 00:19:18,780
sts-72 in addition to his current

483
00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:21,480
Mission koichi flew four space shuttle

484
00:19:25,610 --> 00:19:24,000
missions a horse Cosmos soyuz and was on

485
00:19:27,950 --> 00:19:25,620
a long duration stay aboard the

486
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:27,960
International Space Station and just on

487
00:19:33,289 --> 00:19:30,179
March 6th just a few days ago koichi

488
00:19:35,570 --> 00:19:33,299
reached his 500th day in space wow

489
00:19:37,370 --> 00:19:35,580
that's pretty incredible the second

490
00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:37,380
mission specialist is Russ Cosmos

491
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:40,080
Cosmonaut Anna Anna kikuna she graduated

492
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:43,380
from the this is a tough one Nova

493
00:19:49,549 --> 00:19:45,720
seabersk State Academy of water

494
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:49,559
transport in 2006. in 2012 Anna

495
00:19:55,130 --> 00:19:51,900
officially became a candidate for the

496
00:19:57,169 --> 00:19:55,140
position of test Cosmonaut crew 5 was on

497
00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:57,179
his first flight into space as part of

498
00:20:02,150 --> 00:20:00,000
the resumption of integrated Crews on

499
00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:02,160
U.S Cruise spacecraft and in the soyuz

500
00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:04,799
with the Russian State space Corporation

501
00:20:09,289 --> 00:20:07,080
Russ Cosmos

502
00:20:12,049 --> 00:20:09,299
now we are still in that deorbit burn

503
00:20:14,090 --> 00:20:12,059
those crew members now about 42 minutes

504
00:20:17,690 --> 00:20:14,100
away from that targeted Splashdown time

505
00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:17,700
of 902 PM eastern time it looks like we

506
00:20:20,690 --> 00:20:19,260
have about two minutes left maybe a

507
00:20:23,210 --> 00:20:20,700
minute and a half in that the orbit bird

508
00:20:26,210 --> 00:20:23,220
but things are going well so far all of

509
00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:26,220
those four Draco engines firing for the

510
00:20:33,409 --> 00:20:28,260
last time before closing that nose cone

511
00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:35,270
they're on your screens you can see the

512
00:20:40,370 --> 00:20:37,919
crew is continuing to monitor dragon's

513
00:20:43,610 --> 00:20:40,380
progress in this deorbit burn

514
00:20:46,029 --> 00:20:43,620
we have about a minute and a half one

515
00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:46,039
minute and 31 seconds to be exact

516
00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:52,250
as you can see with those displays

517
00:20:58,310 --> 00:20:55,679
there's a small set of physical buttons

518
00:21:00,350 --> 00:20:58,320
that the crew can use for emergency

519
00:21:02,210 --> 00:21:00,360
situations

520
00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:02,220
um and then the displays our touch

521
00:21:06,529 --> 00:21:04,080
screen which has more features that they

522
00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:06,539
can use in Flight in addition to the

523
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:08,700
tablets that are on their legs you can

524
00:21:14,930 --> 00:21:12,240
see Nicole's there on her left leg

525
00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:14,940
we can also see a good shot of the

526
00:21:20,570 --> 00:21:17,280
control panel for the seats themselves

527
00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:20,580
that's where the mic volume and the push

528
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:23,280
to talk button is also located for the

529
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:25,080
crew to use and that's I believe that's

530
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:27,600
also where the crew cabin light button

531
00:21:30,770 --> 00:21:28,799
is located

532
00:21:32,450 --> 00:21:30,780
so just like an airplane everybody has

533
00:21:37,010 --> 00:21:32,460
their own personal window gives me

534
00:21:38,990 --> 00:21:37,020
personal like reading light yeah exactly

535
00:21:41,270 --> 00:21:39,000
there's also USB ports in the Dragon

536
00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:41,280
capsule as well that's convenient yeah

537
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:43,260
not on the chairs it's uh kind of like

538
00:21:46,190 --> 00:21:44,400
above their head so they can't really

539
00:21:48,110 --> 00:21:46,200
reach them while in flight but certainly

540
00:21:49,490 --> 00:21:48,120
useful during the opportunities where

541
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:49,500
they don't have to be in their seats and

542
00:21:52,370 --> 00:21:51,120
can charge up those tablets that they

543
00:21:54,649 --> 00:21:52,380
use

544
00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:54,659
now continuing to monitor again we are

545
00:21:59,390 --> 00:21:56,940
in the diorbit burn and uh should be

546
00:22:01,549 --> 00:21:59,400
wrapping up here very shortly crew

547
00:22:04,610 --> 00:22:01,559
members just monitoring as this is a

548
00:22:07,250 --> 00:22:04,620
completely autonomous flight

549
00:22:21,169 --> 00:22:07,260
10 seconds remaining in this de orbit

550
00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:23,990
that to open burn is the orbit burn

551
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:26,640
complete performance nominal nose cone

552
00:22:34,909 --> 00:22:32,630
Dragon copy

553
00:22:36,649 --> 00:22:34,919
just what we wanted to hear the orbit

554
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:36,659
bird is complete nominal is always the

555
00:22:41,570 --> 00:22:39,600
word we're looking for and so with that

556
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:41,580
complete next up is closure of the nose

557
00:22:44,810 --> 00:22:43,080
cone since we won't be using those Draco

558
00:22:46,789 --> 00:22:44,820
thrusters anymore that's right that nose

559
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:46,799
cone is what protects those Draco

560
00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:50,220
thrusters as well as that forward hatch

561
00:22:54,529 --> 00:22:52,559
which is the hatch that the crew of

562
00:22:57,649 --> 00:22:54,539
course used to dock to the space station

563
00:22:59,570 --> 00:22:57,659
and uh get in and out of dragon while it

564
00:23:01,370 --> 00:22:59,580
was docked on station

565
00:23:03,289 --> 00:23:01,380
um that side hatch is what they will be

566
00:23:04,610 --> 00:23:03,299
using the side hatch which is on the

567
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:04,620
side of dragon is what they will be

568
00:23:09,409 --> 00:23:06,480
using to get out of the capsule after

569
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:09,419
Splashdown but not that forward hatch

570
00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:12,360
which is what is being covered up now as

571
00:23:19,130 --> 00:23:14,400
we are what will be covered up as we

572
00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:21,590
wow there we can see a live view of that

573
00:23:34,669 --> 00:23:32,570
so in the

574
00:23:36,770 --> 00:23:34,679
dragon is currently inhibiting those

575
00:23:38,330 --> 00:23:36,780
forward bulkhead Draco thrusters that we

576
00:23:40,490 --> 00:23:38,340
just used to complete the deorbit burn

577
00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:40,500
those are inhibited now I should say

578
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:42,480
meaning that it was safe to latch the

579
00:23:47,630 --> 00:23:45,000
nose cone shut and the vehicles

580
00:23:49,730 --> 00:23:47,640
initiated the nitrox suit Purge this

581
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:49,740
will help keep Nicole Josh koichi and

582
00:23:54,590 --> 00:23:50,940
Anna cool and comfortable during

583
00:23:56,330 --> 00:23:54,600
re-entry which is coming up in about 20

584
00:23:58,370 --> 00:23:56,340
minutes

585
00:24:00,169 --> 00:23:58,380
at this point like we saw uh the nose

586
00:24:02,690 --> 00:24:00,179
cone is closing protecting the forward

587
00:24:04,370 --> 00:24:02,700
hatch for re-entry so Nicole Josh koichi

588
00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:04,380
and Anna are using their screens to

589
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,000
continue monitoring the Locking of the

590
00:24:09,890 --> 00:24:08,400
nose cone which is done by a set of

591
00:24:11,390 --> 00:24:09,900
hooks

592
00:24:13,970 --> 00:24:11,400
that's exactly right now we have a live

593
00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:13,980
view there of Mission Control Hawthorne

594
00:24:17,450 --> 00:24:16,080
actually located just to the side of

595
00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:17,460
Leah and I

596
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:19,919
um that is where the calls are coming

597
00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:22,080
from that we hear to the crew coming

598
00:24:27,169 --> 00:24:25,200
from SpaceX core Mike Blasco

599
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,179
another view there of that nose cone

600
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:32,029
it was about another minute and 14

601
00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:35,760
seconds remaining in the nose Cone close

602
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:37,620
um but yeah those those calls that we

603
00:24:43,730 --> 00:24:41,520
hear to the crew and basically

604
00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:43,740
communicating status of what's happening

605
00:24:47,810 --> 00:24:46,200
or what has completed that comes from

606
00:24:52,669 --> 00:24:47,820
that room that you see there on your

607
00:24:58,490 --> 00:24:54,710
we're standing by for the confirmation

608
00:25:01,310 --> 00:24:58,500
of nose cone closure we are now about 18

609
00:25:03,289 --> 00:25:01,320
hours since on dock yesterday so we've

610
00:25:06,049 --> 00:25:03,299
mentioned that the crew has had time to

611
00:25:08,930 --> 00:25:06,059
rest relax maybe eat a little bit take a

612
00:25:10,669 --> 00:25:08,940
nap but right now are monitoring the

613
00:25:13,850 --> 00:25:10,679
continuation of nose cone closure just

614
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:13,860
waiting on that call out to the crew

615
00:25:20,330 --> 00:25:17,400
about 30 seconds remaining now to nose

616
00:25:22,850 --> 00:25:20,340
Cone close as we said before since we

617
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:22,860
won't be using the four forward Draco

618
00:25:26,810 --> 00:25:24,600
thrusters

619
00:25:29,870 --> 00:25:26,820
um and obviously the hatch is sealed and

620
00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:29,880
shut we are able to close that nose cone

621
00:25:35,930 --> 00:25:32,520
um it's an important step because

622
00:25:38,029 --> 00:25:35,940
ultimately this is the now that the

623
00:25:40,669 --> 00:25:38,039
trunk has been separated this is the

624
00:25:45,409 --> 00:25:40,679
last major physical change that Dragon

625
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:47,630
dragon that the crew 5 crew members are

626
00:25:52,970 --> 00:25:49,980
flying on stay is named endurance it was

627
00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:52,980
dubbed that by the crew 3 crew in honor

628
00:25:58,250 --> 00:25:55,919
of the endurance shown by the NASA and

629
00:25:59,810 --> 00:25:58,260
SpaceX teams as they were building and

630
00:26:01,430 --> 00:25:59,820
training or building the spacecraft and

631
00:26:03,649 --> 00:26:01,440
training the crew through the pandemic

632
00:26:05,690 --> 00:26:03,659
so I thought that was a really nice way

633
00:26:06,409 --> 00:26:05,700
to honor both the teams very fitting for

634
00:26:09,049 --> 00:26:06,419
sure

635
00:26:11,510 --> 00:26:09,059
so we're standing by for the call out to

636
00:26:16,730 --> 00:26:11,520
confirm that the nose cone has been

637
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:18,710
and this is the last major physical

638
00:26:24,130 --> 00:26:21,840
change that Dragon undergoes prior to

639
00:26:28,490 --> 00:26:24,140
that deorbit or somebody prior to

640
00:26:32,510 --> 00:26:30,830
they've already completed the Dew orbit

641
00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:32,520
burn itself yes

642
00:26:39,289 --> 00:26:35,880
um so this nose cone closure is an

643
00:26:41,570 --> 00:26:39,299
important uh one of the last steps prior

644
00:26:44,690 --> 00:26:41,580
to that re-entry that diorbit burn

645
00:26:47,390 --> 00:26:44,700
really commits us to uh returning to

646
00:26:49,029 --> 00:26:47,400
Earth there's not really any waving off

647
00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:49,039
after that happens

648
00:26:53,930 --> 00:26:51,960
and as we mentioned before we are

649
00:26:56,269 --> 00:26:53,940
targeting a Splashdown off the coast of

650
00:26:59,090 --> 00:26:56,279
Tampa Florida

651
00:27:01,190 --> 00:26:59,100
now look here at both teams monitoring

652
00:27:03,669 --> 00:27:01,200
the mission over on the left is Mission

653
00:27:06,169 --> 00:27:03,679
Control in Hawthorne and on the right is

654
00:27:09,070 --> 00:27:06,179
Mission Control at nasus Johnson Space

655
00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:09,080
Center in Houston Texas home sweet home

656
00:27:13,370 --> 00:27:11,940
they were in joint operations wild

657
00:27:16,010 --> 00:27:13,380
Dragon was docked to the International

658
00:27:18,529 --> 00:27:16,020
Space Station and until the spacecraft

659
00:27:22,909 --> 00:27:18,539
exited the approach ellipsoid so now the

660
00:27:24,890 --> 00:27:22,919
teams are continuing to watch the watch

661
00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:24,900
the re-entry of the spacecraft and

662
00:27:29,870 --> 00:27:26,880
prepare to welcome the astronauts home

663
00:27:32,630 --> 00:27:29,880
but in a monitoring mode now since we

664
00:27:37,190 --> 00:27:32,640
are obviously quite a ways away from the

665
00:27:42,049 --> 00:27:38,870
and as for the crew on the International

666
00:27:43,370 --> 00:27:42,059
Space Station they are in a sleep period

667
00:27:45,409 --> 00:27:43,380
right now but they do have the

668
00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:45,419
opportunity to watch these broadcasts

669
00:27:49,070 --> 00:27:47,760
and watch their friends arrive back on

670
00:27:50,810 --> 00:27:49,080
Earth so

671
00:27:52,490 --> 00:27:50,820
hopefully if they're watching they still

672
00:27:57,049 --> 00:27:52,500
take some time to get a little shut eye

673
00:28:01,549 --> 00:27:59,690
at this point in time the nose cone is

674
00:28:03,710 --> 00:28:01,559
closed we're just waiting for that to be

675
00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:03,720
called out to the crew

676
00:28:08,029 --> 00:28:04,559
um

677
00:28:11,870 --> 00:28:08,039
from the SpaceX core next up will be to

678
00:28:13,850 --> 00:28:11,880
initiate that nitrox suit Purge

679
00:28:16,130 --> 00:28:13,860
again that just helps to keep the crew

680
00:28:23,390 --> 00:28:16,140
super comfortable during that re-entry

681
00:28:30,010 --> 00:28:25,930
and then coming up a little bit later

682
00:28:33,529 --> 00:28:30,020
tonight around 5 50.

683
00:28:36,409 --> 00:28:33,539
550 PM Pacific time that's when the

684
00:28:38,330 --> 00:28:36,419
entry of the spacecraft will begin and

685
00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:38,340
during that time we anticipate to lose

686
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:40,320
communication with the spacecraft as

687
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:43,320
plasma is building up around it it is

688
00:28:48,769 --> 00:28:45,500
traveling through the atmosphere

689
00:28:50,810 --> 00:28:48,779
eventually we will regain that signal

690
00:28:52,610 --> 00:28:50,820
and communication with the crew members

691
00:28:55,490 --> 00:28:52,620
but of course Dragon knows exactly what

692
00:28:58,549 --> 00:28:55,500
it's doing that entire way home they are

693
00:29:00,649 --> 00:28:58,559
just monitoring and getting closer and

694
00:29:03,950 --> 00:29:00,659
closer to Splashdown again targeting

695
00:29:06,049 --> 00:29:03,960
Splashdown for 902 PM Eastern Time 602

696
00:29:16,070 --> 00:29:06,059
PM Pacific off the coast of Tampa

697
00:29:20,630 --> 00:29:18,350
nose cone closure continues it looks

698
00:29:22,909 --> 00:29:20,640
like the first set of hooks is closed

699
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:22,919
and the second set is closing as we

700
00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:44,990
for our four crew members on crew five

701
00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:46,559
for three of them this was their first

702
00:29:51,370 --> 00:29:48,960
space flight so Nicole Mann Josh cassida

703
00:29:54,649 --> 00:29:51,380
and Anna kikuna are all coming home with

704
00:29:58,549 --> 00:29:54,659
157 days in space as we mentioned

705
00:30:01,070 --> 00:29:58,559
earlier koichiwakata has this is his

706
00:30:11,149 --> 00:30:01,080
fifth space flight so he is coming home

707
00:30:15,529 --> 00:30:13,370
and in following along with the

708
00:30:16,490 --> 00:30:15,539
procedures that the crew are stepping

709
00:30:17,090 --> 00:30:16,500
through

710
00:30:23,330 --> 00:30:17,100
um

711
00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:30,649
Dragon copy

712
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:33,769
and there is that confirmation of nose

713
00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:36,720
cone uh closure that we were standing by

714
00:30:42,590 --> 00:30:39,600
for now as we begin the second half of

715
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:42,600
Entry dragon is now beginning to inject

716
00:30:48,110 --> 00:30:45,480
that cooled nitrox or nitrogen oxygen

717
00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:48,120
mixture into the air being delivered to

718
00:30:53,570 --> 00:30:51,059
the suits worn by Nicole Josh koichi and

719
00:30:55,310 --> 00:30:53,580
Anna again that's what will allow the

720
00:30:57,769 --> 00:30:55,320
crew to remain super comfortable while

721
00:31:00,049 --> 00:30:57,779
the external temperatures reach 3 500

722
00:31:02,690 --> 00:31:00,059
degrees Fahrenheit so a little warm on

723
00:31:05,210 --> 00:31:02,700
the outside that heat shield is pointing

724
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:05,220
forward leading the capsule to The

725
00:31:09,889 --> 00:31:07,440
Landing site and speaking of the heat

726
00:31:13,070 --> 00:31:09,899
shield dragon's primary heat shield is

727
00:31:16,310 --> 00:31:13,080
comprised of Pika 3.0 which stands for

728
00:31:19,549 --> 00:31:16,320
phenolic impregnated carbon ablator the

729
00:31:21,529 --> 00:31:19,559
first generation Pico was actually first

730
00:31:23,389 --> 00:31:21,539
developed by NASA for studying and

731
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:23,399
sampling comments within our solar

732
00:31:27,950 --> 00:31:25,260
system yeah so SpaceX partnered with

733
00:31:29,810 --> 00:31:27,960
NASA to develop Pika X which was the

734
00:31:31,970 --> 00:31:29,820
second generation product used on all

735
00:31:33,889 --> 00:31:31,980
Dragon wine commercial resupply missions

736
00:31:37,669 --> 00:31:33,899
that successfully resupply the station

737
00:31:39,769 --> 00:31:37,679
on over 20 or on 20 missions Pica 3.0

738
00:31:42,590 --> 00:31:39,779
was developed specifically for use on

739
00:31:44,029 --> 00:31:42,600
Dragon 2 crew and cargo spacecraft with

740
00:31:45,529 --> 00:31:44,039
enhanced structural and thermal

741
00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:45,539
properties that optimize the heat shield

742
00:31:50,510 --> 00:31:48,000
and drove down the cost and mass the

743
00:31:53,570 --> 00:31:50,520
remainder of Dragon capsule is composed

744
00:31:56,450 --> 00:31:53,580
primarily of a SpaceX proprietary up

745
00:31:58,490 --> 00:31:56,460
blade of material it's another class of

746
00:32:00,889 --> 00:31:58,500
thermal protection which is lighter

747
00:32:03,049 --> 00:32:00,899
weight versus Pica and protects the

748
00:32:05,450 --> 00:32:03,059
underlying composite structure during

749
00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:05,460
that re-entry to ensure that the

750
00:32:09,649 --> 00:32:07,919
structural capabilities are maintained

751
00:32:11,690 --> 00:32:09,659
so while Dragon will experience

752
00:32:13,669 --> 00:32:11,700
temperatures well over 3000 degrees

753
00:32:15,649 --> 00:32:13,679
Fahrenheit during Peak re-entry

754
00:32:17,750 --> 00:32:15,659
conditions the characteristics of the

755
00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:17,760
thermal Protection Systems also referred

756
00:32:22,430 --> 00:32:20,399
to as TPS coupled with the environmental

757
00:32:24,649 --> 00:32:22,440
Cooling and life support system which we

758
00:32:26,510 --> 00:32:24,659
refer to as Eclipse that's in the

759
00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:26,520
pressurized interior that will ensure

760
00:32:30,289 --> 00:32:28,559
that Nicole joshuaichi and Anna stay

761
00:32:35,210 --> 00:32:30,299
cool and comfortable during All Phases

762
00:32:40,130 --> 00:32:37,490
after crew Dragon endurance has

763
00:32:42,350 --> 00:32:40,140
re-entered the Earth's atmosphere a

764
00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:42,360
series of parachutes will deploy to slow

765
00:32:47,330 --> 00:32:45,120
the crew's descent the first will be two

766
00:32:50,389 --> 00:32:47,340
drogue parachutes followed by the four

767
00:32:52,909 --> 00:32:50,399
main shoots two guy drag Dragon to its

768
00:32:58,430 --> 00:32:52,919
first contact with Earth since launching

769
00:33:03,710 --> 00:33:00,950
dragon wall automatically deployed these

770
00:33:05,389 --> 00:33:03,720
parachutes when different pressure and

771
00:33:08,269 --> 00:33:05,399
positioning sensors on the capsule

772
00:33:11,149 --> 00:33:08,279
detect that they are at the right speed

773
00:33:13,970 --> 00:33:11,159
and at altitude

774
00:33:16,909 --> 00:33:13,980
at the vehicle velocity at the drug

775
00:33:19,490 --> 00:33:16,919
deploy parachute timing is about 350

776
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:19,500
miles per hour so they deployed about 18

777
00:33:23,930 --> 00:33:22,260
000 feet now the vehicle velocity when

778
00:33:26,450 --> 00:33:23,940
the main parachutes deploy is at

779
00:33:29,210 --> 00:33:26,460
approximately 119 miles per hour they'll

780
00:33:31,730 --> 00:33:29,220
deploy about 6 500 feet

781
00:33:34,310 --> 00:33:31,740
and when we have our water splash down

782
00:33:36,830 --> 00:33:34,320
the spacecraft is traveling a cool and

783
00:33:39,590 --> 00:33:36,840
comfortable approximately 16 miles per

784
00:33:41,450 --> 00:33:39,600
hour so the highest G Loop G load we

785
00:33:45,889 --> 00:33:41,460
expect the crew to experience during

786
00:33:51,649 --> 00:33:48,470
so again with nose cone closure we don't

787
00:33:54,350 --> 00:33:51,659
have a whole lot of visual changes like

788
00:33:56,029 --> 00:33:54,360
you mentioned that we will see and our

789
00:33:57,529 --> 00:33:56,039
crew members are already in their suits

790
00:33:58,850 --> 00:33:57,539
and in their seats as we had a preview

791
00:34:01,789 --> 00:33:58,860
of earlier

792
00:34:04,730 --> 00:34:01,799
so coming up next uh will be our

793
00:34:07,430 --> 00:34:04,740
anticipated loss of signal around 5 48

794
00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:07,440
PM Pacific time the crew just got an

795
00:34:11,629 --> 00:34:09,599
update on that from core here in

796
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:11,639
Hawthorne before we started the

797
00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:13,560
broadcast so again when we're in that

798
00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:15,599
entry period and plasma is building up

799
00:34:20,450 --> 00:34:18,000
around the spacecraft it makes it hard

800
00:34:21,889 --> 00:34:20,460
for us to communicate back and forth so

801
00:34:24,409 --> 00:34:21,899
during that time we won't have

802
00:34:26,990 --> 00:34:24,419
communication with the astronauts or the

803
00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:27,000
spacecraft itself however again dragon

804
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:28,859
is fully autonomous and continues

805
00:34:33,349 --> 00:34:31,379
guiding those crew members to our

806
00:34:36,290 --> 00:34:33,359
Splashdown site in Tampa that's right

807
00:34:38,210 --> 00:34:36,300
that expected loss of signal or loss as

808
00:34:41,169 --> 00:34:38,220
you'll hear it called out is coming up

809
00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:41,179
in 14 minutes on the dot actually

810
00:34:47,149 --> 00:34:44,580
and it's something that happens every

811
00:34:50,210 --> 00:34:47,159
time one of the crew Dragon capsules

812
00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:50,220
returns to earth it lasts only a few

813
00:34:56,210 --> 00:34:54,240
minutes but it's something that we will

814
00:34:58,849 --> 00:34:56,220
hopefully at that time be able to have

815
00:35:01,070 --> 00:34:58,859
some views of dragon as it is

816
00:35:05,690 --> 00:35:01,080
entering the atmosphere but of course

817
00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:05,700
after that that entry point like we

818
00:35:09,589 --> 00:35:07,560
mentioned before those parachutes will

819
00:35:12,349 --> 00:35:09,599
deploy shortly thereafter starting with

820
00:35:14,810 --> 00:35:12,359
those two drove parachutes followed by

821
00:35:17,150 --> 00:35:14,820
the main parachutes which are those

822
00:35:20,030 --> 00:35:17,160
beautiful orange and white big

823
00:35:23,690 --> 00:35:20,040
parachutes that we just love to see

824
00:35:26,030 --> 00:35:23,700
um during this during that re-entry

825
00:35:28,730 --> 00:35:26,040
and of course the recovery ship tonight

826
00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:28,740
that will be recovering the crew from

827
00:35:34,130 --> 00:35:31,200
the waters off the coast of Tampa is

828
00:35:37,609 --> 00:35:34,140
Shannon named in honor of Shannon Walker

829
00:35:40,069 --> 00:35:37,619
who flew on a crew One mission uh back

830
00:35:42,530 --> 00:35:40,079
in 2020. I can't believe it's been three

831
00:35:44,690 --> 00:35:42,540
and a half years now

832
00:35:47,150 --> 00:35:44,700
so at this point in time as we mentioned

833
00:35:51,770 --> 00:35:47,160
before we are a few minutes away from

834
00:35:54,410 --> 00:35:51,780
the next major Milestones about uh 12 uh

835
00:35:57,470 --> 00:35:54,420
about 12 minutes and 45 seconds from

836
00:35:59,990 --> 00:35:57,480
that anticipated loss we are taking your

837
00:36:03,490 --> 00:36:00,000
social questions from social media if

838
00:36:06,650 --> 00:36:03,500
you have one be sure to use the hashtag

839
00:36:08,930 --> 00:36:06,660
asknasa and we'll try to get to them as

840
00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:08,940
we can sometimes especially after

841
00:36:13,069 --> 00:36:10,880
Splashdown there's some waiting periods

842
00:36:15,950 --> 00:36:13,079
so we'd love to take some questions we

843
00:36:18,770 --> 00:36:15,960
have a couple already so let's check out

844
00:36:21,829 --> 00:36:18,780
what that first one is this one comes to

845
00:36:24,290 --> 00:36:21,839
us from on Chari

846
00:36:26,810 --> 00:36:24,300
um what at what number is the space

847
00:36:28,910 --> 00:36:26,820
station at capacity are there

848
00:36:30,290 --> 00:36:28,920
interactions between the crew from

849
00:36:31,490 --> 00:36:30,300
different countries that's a great

850
00:36:33,349 --> 00:36:31,500
question

851
00:36:35,390 --> 00:36:33,359
um I think the fact that it's called the

852
00:36:38,089 --> 00:36:35,400
International Space Station

853
00:36:39,829 --> 00:36:38,099
um is is definitely indicative of those

854
00:36:42,109 --> 00:36:39,839
interactions that take place among the

855
00:36:44,450 --> 00:36:42,119
crew while they are on station I

856
00:36:46,310 --> 00:36:44,460
personally love seeing photos of the

857
00:36:49,550 --> 00:36:46,320
crew whenever they're sharing meals

858
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:49,560
together if if they can I've seen photos

859
00:36:54,109 --> 00:36:51,920
where they like to bring up food from

860
00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:54,119
that is representative of their country

861
00:36:58,190 --> 00:36:56,099
or their culture and share it with the

862
00:36:59,870 --> 00:36:58,200
other crew members on board which is

863
00:37:01,069 --> 00:36:59,880
something I love seeing the crew do yeah

864
00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:01,079
absolutely and of course different

865
00:37:05,210 --> 00:37:02,820
cultures have different holidays as well

866
00:37:06,650 --> 00:37:05,220
so sometimes they share those sorts of

867
00:37:08,870 --> 00:37:06,660
traditions and it's definitely the

868
00:37:10,550 --> 00:37:08,880
International Space Station sometimes

869
00:37:14,109 --> 00:37:10,560
they work together on projects or even

870
00:37:16,730 --> 00:37:14,119
on Space walks our jaxa astronaut

871
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:16,740
koichiwakata went out on I believe two

872
00:37:20,210 --> 00:37:18,780
spacewalks with Nicole Mann our NASA

873
00:37:21,890 --> 00:37:20,220
astronaut during their stay at the

874
00:37:24,050 --> 00:37:21,900
International Space Station so a lot of

875
00:37:25,250 --> 00:37:24,060
working together while they are on board

876
00:37:26,690 --> 00:37:25,260
and of course there's a lot of work

877
00:37:29,150 --> 00:37:26,700
going on on the ground between our

878
00:37:30,349 --> 00:37:29,160
partner countries as we prepare for

879
00:37:33,530 --> 00:37:30,359
these missions

880
00:37:34,490 --> 00:37:33,540
and the question also was a limit to the

881
00:37:37,370 --> 00:37:34,500
number of people on the International

882
00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:37,380
Space Station so for the past week we

883
00:37:41,270 --> 00:37:39,359
had 11 people on the space station

884
00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:41,280
that's cozy it does it sounds a little

885
00:37:46,430 --> 00:37:43,020
cozy but the space station is also

886
00:37:49,329 --> 00:37:46,440
pretty big and twice it has housed 13

887
00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:49,339
people so I don't know that there is a

888
00:37:54,770 --> 00:37:52,800
Max limit that we have established or

889
00:37:57,290 --> 00:37:54,780
determined at this time but we've seen

890
00:38:00,589 --> 00:37:57,300
13 a couple of times before and we just

891
00:38:03,470 --> 00:38:00,599
wrapped up a Full House of 11.

892
00:38:06,410 --> 00:38:03,480
take a look at another one coming us

893
00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:06,420
coming to us from Jiu Jitsu Panda I love

894
00:38:11,210 --> 00:38:08,880
that can the astronauts work out or

895
00:38:14,030 --> 00:38:11,220
exercise on the space station thank you

896
00:38:16,849 --> 00:38:14,040
ahead of time absolutely in fact they

897
00:38:18,829 --> 00:38:16,859
have to right it's it's required uh in

898
00:38:21,890 --> 00:38:18,839
order to maintain their health maintain

899
00:38:24,650 --> 00:38:21,900
their bone density which ultimately you

900
00:38:26,870 --> 00:38:24,660
know keeps them working efficiently

901
00:38:29,329 --> 00:38:26,880
while they're while they are on station

902
00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:29,339
but it's also part of the the study of

903
00:38:34,430 --> 00:38:32,640
how microgravity impacts the human body

904
00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,440
um in terms of if you do with this

905
00:38:37,849 --> 00:38:36,960
exercise what is the result are you

906
00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:37,859
still

907
00:38:40,130 --> 00:38:38,460
um

908
00:38:42,290 --> 00:38:40,140
maintaining the level of Health

909
00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:42,300
necessary yeah absolutely and they have

910
00:38:47,089 --> 00:38:44,820
a few different exercise machines on the

911
00:38:49,069 --> 00:38:47,099
space station so I was talking with

912
00:38:51,589 --> 00:38:49,079
Shiva there's a treadmill that you have

913
00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:51,599
to kind of wear a belt and it's hooked

914
00:38:55,130 --> 00:38:53,760
to the the treadmill itself so that as

915
00:38:57,410 --> 00:38:55,140
you're running you're not kind of

916
00:39:00,290 --> 00:38:57,420
floating off with every step you take uh

917
00:39:02,089 --> 00:39:00,300
there's also a stationary bike and then

918
00:39:05,390 --> 00:39:02,099
there's also the advanced resistive

919
00:39:08,569 --> 00:39:05,400
exercise device we call it a red it can

920
00:39:11,150 --> 00:39:08,579
be modified so that you can use it to do

921
00:39:13,550 --> 00:39:11,160
arm workouts leg workouts anything from

922
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:13,560
bicep curls to squats even even ab

923
00:39:19,010 --> 00:39:16,260
workouts so they've done a great job at

924
00:39:21,770 --> 00:39:19,020
providing options up there and the crew

925
00:39:23,450 --> 00:39:21,780
members are assigned to each one so they

926
00:39:25,010 --> 00:39:23,460
don't get to choose a favorite and only

927
00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:25,020
get on the treadmill every day they have

928
00:39:27,829 --> 00:39:26,160
to make sure that they're also

929
00:39:29,810 --> 00:39:27,839
maintaining their muscle mass and their

930
00:39:31,310 --> 00:39:29,820
bone density with a little bit of weight

931
00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:31,320
lifting as well

932
00:39:34,609 --> 00:39:32,640
um one thing that I never took into

933
00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:34,619
consideration until I heard it called

934
00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:39,200
out during the cruise six docking period

935
00:39:45,890 --> 00:39:43,260
was basically the Capcom at Mission

936
00:39:49,190 --> 00:39:45,900
Control in Houston I think was talking

937
00:39:50,750 --> 00:39:49,200
to Josh cassida I can't quite remember

938
00:39:53,150 --> 00:39:50,760
but it was speaking to one of the

939
00:39:56,210 --> 00:39:53,160
astronauts on station and basically told

940
00:40:00,109 --> 00:39:56,220
them hey you can't do your workout as

941
00:40:04,069 --> 00:40:00,119
scheduled because we're about to dock uh

942
00:40:06,829 --> 00:40:04,079
crew six and just the vibrations created

943
00:40:10,370 --> 00:40:06,839
from the exercise in the space station

944
00:40:13,010 --> 00:40:10,380
even though it is a really big floating

945
00:40:16,190 --> 00:40:13,020
laboratory it's not floating orbiting

946
00:40:18,890 --> 00:40:16,200
um it was I never really thought that it

947
00:40:20,930 --> 00:40:18,900
had that much of an impact to other

948
00:40:23,329 --> 00:40:20,940
things until we heard that call out

949
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:23,339
during that docking where we were right

950
00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:24,599
about to dock and it was basically like

951
00:40:28,609 --> 00:40:26,400
hey hold off on your scheduled exercise

952
00:40:30,589 --> 00:40:28,619
for right now right right we heard that

953
00:40:31,970 --> 00:40:30,599
yesterday as well before undock so I

954
00:40:33,589 --> 00:40:31,980
just want to mitigate any of those

955
00:40:34,849 --> 00:40:33,599
things that might impart loads on the

956
00:40:37,310 --> 00:40:34,859
International Space Station when you're

957
00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:37,320
in a dynamic event like a docking or an

958
00:40:41,750 --> 00:40:39,599
undocking um but of course they do try

959
00:40:44,089 --> 00:40:41,760
and schedule their workouts around those

960
00:40:45,950 --> 00:40:44,099
those times

961
00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:45,960
yeah let's take a look at another

962
00:40:51,109 --> 00:40:48,960
question we have a couple minutes uh

963
00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:51,119
here about seven and a half minutes

964
00:40:56,690 --> 00:40:54,480
until that loss of signal dragon all

965
00:41:01,730 --> 00:40:56,700
Crews satchels are secure restraints

966
00:41:05,750 --> 00:41:03,829
Dragon we copy visors are down

967
00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:05,760
restraints are tight and tablets and

968
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:13,849
all right good call out there just uh

969
00:41:19,370 --> 00:41:16,380
indicating that the crew has everything

970
00:41:22,609 --> 00:41:19,380
in place locked away make sure nothing

971
00:41:25,810 --> 00:41:22,619
pardon me uh nothing can escape its

972
00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:25,820
secure location during the re-entry

973
00:41:30,589 --> 00:41:28,160
portion and the visors are down so

974
00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:30,599
basically the crew is locked and loaded

975
00:41:35,329 --> 00:41:33,000
ready to ready to come home

976
00:41:39,710 --> 00:41:35,339
uh taking a look at this question

977
00:41:42,950 --> 00:41:39,720
um coming to us from uh taniko to wow

978
00:41:45,349 --> 00:41:42,960
this is tough teenago chicks uh balloy

979
00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:45,359
I'm I apologize for not pronouncing that

980
00:41:49,790 --> 00:41:48,000
correctly uh when the dragon approaches

981
00:41:52,370 --> 00:41:49,800
Earth how do you make sure that it does

982
00:41:54,410 --> 00:41:52,380
not collide with Airlines uh with

983
00:41:58,490 --> 00:41:54,420
airplanes in Flight uh that's a great

984
00:42:01,250 --> 00:41:58,500
question so part of the process to

985
00:42:04,310 --> 00:42:01,260
launch a spacecraft or bring it home is

986
00:42:06,050 --> 00:42:04,320
basically to get a license from the

987
00:42:09,950 --> 00:42:06,060
Federal Aviation Administration or the

988
00:42:13,250 --> 00:42:09,960
FAA and basically request that that

989
00:42:14,030 --> 00:42:13,260
airspace and sea space be quarantined

990
00:42:16,930 --> 00:42:14,040
off

991
00:42:20,390 --> 00:42:16,940
um in a keep out Zone basically so that

992
00:42:22,609 --> 00:42:20,400
aircraft and sea vessels are not in

993
00:42:24,349 --> 00:42:22,619
danger during this phase so

994
00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:24,359
um yeah it's it's a great question

995
00:42:29,810 --> 00:42:26,220
because you really have to think of

996
00:42:32,690 --> 00:42:29,820
because the Earth is a sphere it's a

997
00:42:34,609 --> 00:42:32,700
globe it is a three-dimensional process

998
00:42:35,630 --> 00:42:34,619
to re-enter the atmosphere it's not just

999
00:42:37,310 --> 00:42:35,640
coming

1000
00:42:39,710 --> 00:42:37,320
back down to earth it is that

1001
00:42:42,710 --> 00:42:39,720
three-dimensional space that airspace

1002
00:42:44,569 --> 00:42:42,720
that has to be cleared uh and and saved

1003
00:42:46,310 --> 00:42:44,579
basically

1004
00:42:47,630 --> 00:42:46,320
great question that is a good question

1005
00:42:50,329 --> 00:42:47,640
and I've seen some pretty amazing

1006
00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:50,339
pictures before of people in commercial

1007
00:42:56,089 --> 00:42:53,280
airplanes as they are in route somewhere

1008
00:42:58,430 --> 00:42:56,099
and and can see one of the spacecrafts

1009
00:43:01,069 --> 00:42:58,440
yeah so I would love to have that

1010
00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:01,079
opportunity someday same although with

1011
00:43:07,010 --> 00:43:04,560
uh how often we're launching out of

1012
00:43:09,530 --> 00:43:07,020
um Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space

1013
00:43:12,530 --> 00:43:09,540
Center uh it's certainly more likely now

1014
00:43:15,829 --> 00:43:12,540
than it ever has been to catch

1015
00:43:20,809 --> 00:43:15,839
um a rocket launch from your window seat

1016
00:43:22,670 --> 00:43:20,819
while flying into uh Orlando Airport

1017
00:43:25,309 --> 00:43:22,680
another question coming to us this one

1018
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:25,319
from Joshua green how did the departing

1019
00:43:28,849 --> 00:43:26,640
astronauts make sure they don't

1020
00:43:31,550 --> 00:43:28,859
accidentally leave any of their stuff on

1021
00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:31,560
the International Space Station and has

1022
00:43:36,530 --> 00:43:34,160
anyone forgotten anything up there

1023
00:43:38,390 --> 00:43:36,540
well there are checklists to make sure

1024
00:43:42,109 --> 00:43:38,400
that the astronauts don't leave anything

1025
00:43:44,630 --> 00:43:42,119
on the space station and of course I'm

1026
00:43:46,130 --> 00:43:44,640
sure some something has been left behind

1027
00:43:47,569 --> 00:43:46,140
at some point but there's always

1028
00:43:48,890 --> 00:43:47,579
somebody going up and coming back down

1029
00:43:50,930 --> 00:43:48,900
so maybe one of their friends is kind

1030
00:43:52,490 --> 00:43:50,940
enough to bring it back for them the

1031
00:43:54,410 --> 00:43:52,500
crew members themselves have a very

1032
00:43:57,170 --> 00:43:54,420
limited amount of space of what they can

1033
00:43:59,450 --> 00:43:57,180
choose to take up I've heard it referred

1034
00:44:01,990 --> 00:43:59,460
to as maybe like a shoe box size so they

1035
00:44:04,910 --> 00:44:02,000
might take up photos or jewelry or

1036
00:44:07,309 --> 00:44:04,920
special mementos for their friends or

1037
00:44:09,230 --> 00:44:07,319
family back home so those things I'm

1038
00:44:11,150 --> 00:44:09,240
sure they keep close personal track of

1039
00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:11,160
but then additionally there is a lot of

1040
00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,880
cargo or scientific research that is

1041
00:44:19,550 --> 00:44:17,040
excuse me uh loaded back onto Dragon

1042
00:44:21,410 --> 00:44:19,560
before it comes home so there are teams

1043
00:44:23,569 --> 00:44:21,420
specifically dedicated to tracking the

1044
00:44:26,450 --> 00:44:23,579
locations of items on the International

1045
00:44:27,890 --> 00:44:26,460
Space Station and make sure that our

1046
00:44:29,690 --> 00:44:27,900
crew members load them up before it's

1047
00:44:32,329 --> 00:44:29,700
time to come home

1048
00:44:35,089 --> 00:44:32,339
it's a good question yes

1049
00:44:37,490 --> 00:44:35,099
next one coming to us from sooner Source

1050
00:44:39,349 --> 00:44:37,500
my son Dex would like to know how fast

1051
00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:39,359
the capsule is going when it hits the

1052
00:44:42,470 --> 00:44:41,280
water oh that's actually a really great

1053
00:44:46,010 --> 00:44:42,480
question

1054
00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:46,020
um when I'll back up first um when the

1055
00:44:51,010 --> 00:44:48,660
castle is on station and when it departs

1056
00:44:54,050 --> 00:44:51,020
the space station it's going 17

1057
00:44:56,569 --> 00:44:54,060
500 miles per hour or they're about yeah

1058
00:44:59,870 --> 00:44:56,579
it's going really really fast and then

1059
00:45:01,790 --> 00:44:59,880
we do that uh deorbit burn which helps

1060
00:45:03,829 --> 00:45:01,800
to slow the vehicle down significantly

1061
00:45:06,290 --> 00:45:03,839
but at that point in time it's still

1062
00:45:08,089 --> 00:45:06,300
going uh I want to say it's about 500

1063
00:45:10,670 --> 00:45:08,099
miles per hour as it re-enters the

1064
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:10,680
atmosphere that heat shield that we

1065
00:45:16,190 --> 00:45:12,720
talked about before is actually going to

1066
00:45:19,130 --> 00:45:16,200
do a lot of work that gets converted

1067
00:45:21,790 --> 00:45:19,140
into the form of heat that plasma that

1068
00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:21,800
builds up and actually slows it down so

1069
00:45:27,170 --> 00:45:24,240
the Earth's atmosphere is actually going

1070
00:45:29,870 --> 00:45:27,180
to help us out in slowing the vehicle

1071
00:45:31,670 --> 00:45:29,880
down even further as it re-enters the

1072
00:45:37,490 --> 00:45:31,680
Earth's atmosphere and then we have

1073
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:44,710
Dragon SpaceX for entry briefing

1074
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:49,550
go for a dragon

1075
00:45:54,530 --> 00:45:51,650
okay just to give you a quick update

1076
00:45:58,430 --> 00:45:54,540
here for timeline we are tracking no

1077
00:46:02,030 --> 00:45:58,440
Deltas in terms of vehicle status only

1078
00:46:05,089 --> 00:46:02,040
item to note is that you may get the

1079
00:46:07,609 --> 00:46:05,099
agps alerts when you come back out of

1080
00:46:11,089 --> 00:46:07,619
blackout just wanted to keep you an

1081
00:46:13,130 --> 00:46:11,099
update that if those have a the SDC at

1082
00:46:17,210 --> 00:46:13,140
the end of it there's no concern it has

1083
00:46:19,550 --> 00:46:17,220
no impact on Dragon's automated a flight

1084
00:46:26,930 --> 00:46:19,560
automated shoot deployment sequence I'll

1085
00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:30,230
okay copy we may get the apgs alerts if

1086
00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:31,920
it's not Sierra don't necessarily that's

1087
00:46:38,690 --> 00:46:37,370
those are good words other than that the

1088
00:46:41,030 --> 00:46:38,700
weather's still looking good and we're

1089
00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:41,040
looking forward to getting you home

1090
00:46:44,450 --> 00:46:42,000
shortly

1091
00:46:45,849 --> 00:46:44,460
expected blackout time is in

1092
00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:45,859
approximately

1093
00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:48,480
two minutes or so we'll see you on the

1094
00:46:56,240 --> 00:47:00,470
copy see on the other side

1095
00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:03,170
wow we got to that uh anticipated

1096
00:47:07,849 --> 00:47:05,280
blackout time pretty quickly so again

1097
00:47:12,050 --> 00:47:07,859
that's coming up at about 5 58 p.m

1098
00:47:14,210 --> 00:47:12,060
Pacific time uh or I'm sorry about 5 48

1099
00:47:17,750 --> 00:47:14,220
p.m Pacific time

1100
00:47:19,250 --> 00:47:17,760
and so about 30 seconds from now uh we

1101
00:47:21,230 --> 00:47:19,260
will be out of communication with the

1102
00:47:23,569 --> 00:47:21,240
astronauts and the crew Dragon capsule

1103
00:47:26,510 --> 00:47:23,579
during that time uh the core mentioned

1104
00:47:31,010 --> 00:47:26,520
in agps potential alert coming up after

1105
00:47:32,809 --> 00:47:31,020
they uh require signal that will be that

1106
00:47:35,569 --> 00:47:32,819
is the absolute global positioning

1107
00:47:38,030 --> 00:47:35,579
system they had a couple of pop-ups

1108
00:47:40,329 --> 00:47:38,040
earlier but as you heard the core tell

1109
00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:40,339
the crew those are not of any concern

1110
00:47:45,230 --> 00:47:43,680
for them additionally I got a good

1111
00:47:48,829 --> 00:47:45,240
report for everything on crew Dragon

1112
00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:48,839
looking good as we head into this entry

1113
00:47:54,829 --> 00:47:53,280
period there was one ground item we were

1114
00:47:58,250 --> 00:47:54,839
monitoring that the corps discussed with

1115
00:48:00,589 --> 00:47:58,260
the crew earlier this evening the wb-57

1116
00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:00,599
will not be available due to a technical

1117
00:48:04,790 --> 00:48:02,880
issue of course this has no impact on

1118
00:48:06,770 --> 00:48:04,800
the operations it isn't necessary for

1119
00:48:08,990 --> 00:48:06,780
return everything continues to go very

1120
00:48:11,329 --> 00:48:09,000
smoothly the main purpose that we fly

1121
00:48:13,309 --> 00:48:11,339
the wb57 is to collect engineering

1122
00:48:15,170 --> 00:48:13,319
imagery in addition to what we get from

1123
00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:15,180
the cameras on the boat so so we will

1124
00:48:19,790 --> 00:48:17,280
have those cameras on the vote keeping

1125
00:48:21,290 --> 00:48:19,800
their eyes out to spot our crew members

1126
00:48:22,250 --> 00:48:21,300
as soon as they re-enter the Earth's

1127
00:48:24,589 --> 00:48:22,260
atmosphere

1128
00:48:26,630 --> 00:48:24,599
that's right now after crew Dragon

1129
00:48:28,849 --> 00:48:26,640
endurance has re-entered the Earth's

1130
00:48:31,670 --> 00:48:28,859
atmosphere a series of parachutes will

1131
00:48:33,710 --> 00:48:31,680
deploy to slow the crew's descent first

1132
00:48:35,930 --> 00:48:33,720
will be the two drogue parachutes

1133
00:48:38,690 --> 00:48:35,940
followed by the four main shoots to

1134
00:48:41,210 --> 00:48:38,700
guide dragon to its first contact with

1135
00:48:43,309 --> 00:48:41,220
Earth since it launched Dragon will

1136
00:48:45,170 --> 00:48:43,319
automatically deploy those parachutes

1137
00:48:47,870 --> 00:48:45,180
when different pressure and positioning

1138
00:48:50,750 --> 00:48:47,880
sensors on the capsule detect that they

1139
00:48:52,309 --> 00:48:50,760
are at the right speed and altitude and

1140
00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:52,319
we were just talking about these speeds

1141
00:48:57,470 --> 00:48:54,480
so the velocity at the drogue deploy

1142
00:49:00,170 --> 00:48:57,480
Point we've slowed down to 350 miles per

1143
00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:00,180
hour those deploy at about 18 000 feet

1144
00:49:04,790 --> 00:49:03,359
that is quite different from the 17 500

1145
00:49:07,730 --> 00:49:04,800
miles per hour we were just traveling

1146
00:49:10,250 --> 00:49:07,740
before the new orbit burn and then the

1147
00:49:12,890 --> 00:49:10,260
velocity at the time of main parachute

1148
00:49:15,890 --> 00:49:12,900
deploys about 119 miles per hour those

1149
00:49:18,290 --> 00:49:15,900
will deploy at about 6 500 feet and then

1150
00:49:21,290 --> 00:49:18,300
that gentle water splash down we will be

1151
00:49:23,510 --> 00:49:21,300
traveling at about 16 miles per hour so

1152
00:49:25,130 --> 00:49:23,520
again that highest we think is around

1153
00:49:27,470 --> 00:49:25,140
three to five G's so they should be

1154
00:49:29,450 --> 00:49:27,480
pretty comfortable uh just monitoring

1155
00:49:33,890 --> 00:49:29,460
again as all of those parachute deploys

1156
00:49:38,809 --> 00:49:36,710
again we are

1157
00:49:41,210 --> 00:49:38,819
we are in that Communications blackout

1158
00:49:43,550 --> 00:49:41,220
period it's just begun that's right um

1159
00:49:45,890 --> 00:49:43,560
we're expecting that to last about seven

1160
00:49:48,890 --> 00:49:45,900
minutes excuse me seven minutes

1161
00:49:51,349 --> 00:49:48,900
um due to the formation of plasma around

1162
00:49:53,390 --> 00:49:51,359
the spacecraft during that time no

1163
00:49:56,030 --> 00:49:53,400
vehicle Telemetry is received by mission

1164
00:49:57,950 --> 00:49:56,040
control or the recovery team and no

1165
00:50:00,589 --> 00:49:57,960
external commanding of the vehicle or

1166
00:50:02,690 --> 00:50:00,599
voice communication is possible as a

1167
00:50:05,270 --> 00:50:02,700
reminder dragon is designed to fly

1168
00:50:07,309 --> 00:50:05,280
itself though during re-entry the

1169
00:50:10,849 --> 00:50:07,319
vehicle will be slowing down from the

1170
00:50:13,069 --> 00:50:10,859
orbital velocity of 17 500 miles per

1171
00:50:16,069 --> 00:50:13,079
hour the top temperature that Dragon

1172
00:50:18,050 --> 00:50:16,079
will experience upon that re-entry in

1173
00:50:21,829 --> 00:50:18,060
terms of the exterior temperature is

1174
00:50:23,750 --> 00:50:21,839
around 3 500 degrees Fahrenheit so as we

1175
00:50:26,510 --> 00:50:23,760
mentioned before we expect this blackout

1176
00:50:30,290 --> 00:50:26,520
period to last several minutes

1177
00:50:31,270 --> 00:50:30,300
um we are basically now in that re-entry

1178
00:50:36,710 --> 00:50:31,280
period

1179
00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:36,720
and we anticipate this to

1180
00:50:41,930 --> 00:50:39,119
we anticipate getting that signal back

1181
00:50:44,030 --> 00:50:41,940
in about five minutes from now

1182
00:50:45,890 --> 00:50:44,040
this is moving pretty quickly because we

1183
00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:45,900
are anticipating those drug parachutes

1184
00:50:50,690 --> 00:50:48,900
to deploy at about 5 58 PM Pacific time

1185
00:50:52,849 --> 00:50:50,700
so really just seven minutes from now

1186
00:50:56,329 --> 00:50:52,859
we're looking at Splashdown around 11

1187
00:50:58,609 --> 00:50:56,339
minutes from now so this is a very uh

1188
00:51:01,010 --> 00:50:58,619
quick timeline a lot of things happening

1189
00:51:02,930 --> 00:51:01,020
in Rapid succession as our crew members

1190
00:51:05,569 --> 00:51:02,940
come home but again hearing we've heard

1191
00:51:08,030 --> 00:51:05,579
good reports uh so far and we are

1192
00:51:10,069 --> 00:51:08,040
awaiting that acquisition of signal in

1193
00:51:12,589 --> 00:51:10,079
around four and a half minutes

1194
00:51:15,410 --> 00:51:12,599
now one thing that if we were able to

1195
00:51:17,210 --> 00:51:15,420
get views inside the Dragon capsule

1196
00:51:19,670 --> 00:51:17,220
um which like we said before because of

1197
00:51:21,650 --> 00:51:19,680
that plasma build up we we are unable to

1198
00:51:23,210 --> 00:51:21,660
to get those views but if you were

1199
00:51:25,370 --> 00:51:23,220
watching earlier in the webcast you did

1200
00:51:27,950 --> 00:51:25,380
see those crew displays uh those touch

1201
00:51:29,210 --> 00:51:27,960
screen panels that the crew was using to

1202
00:51:31,309 --> 00:51:29,220
monitor

1203
00:51:35,089 --> 00:51:31,319
um the the health of the capsule the

1204
00:51:37,250 --> 00:51:35,099
state of um what was you know the the

1205
00:51:40,490 --> 00:51:37,260
state of command for what the Dragon

1206
00:51:43,430 --> 00:51:40,500
Castle was actually executing

1207
00:51:46,370 --> 00:51:43,440
um as of right now they also now have a

1208
00:51:48,170 --> 00:51:46,380
little map that shows where they are and

1209
00:51:49,490 --> 00:51:48,180
how much further they have to go for

1210
00:51:51,530 --> 00:51:49,500
this re-entry

1211
00:51:54,290 --> 00:51:51,540
um they will be able to follow along

1212
00:51:58,010 --> 00:51:54,300
with the anticipated deployment of those

1213
00:52:00,410 --> 00:51:58,020
parachutes one thing that the the crew

1214
00:52:02,390 --> 00:52:00,420
is trained to do is be aware of the

1215
00:52:04,549 --> 00:52:02,400
surroundings and of course when those

1216
00:52:07,670 --> 00:52:04,559
parachutes deploy because they are

1217
00:52:10,010 --> 00:52:07,680
slowing the capsule down it there is a a

1218
00:52:13,490 --> 00:52:10,020
small jolt that occurs during that

1219
00:52:16,309 --> 00:52:13,500
employment and so and also whenever they

1220
00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:16,319
splash down you'll also hear uh brace

1221
00:52:20,750 --> 00:52:18,960
for Splashdown or brace for impact that

1222
00:52:22,190 --> 00:52:20,760
is just the crew being aware and like

1223
00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:22,200
just getting ready holding on to their

1224
00:52:26,150 --> 00:52:24,720
seats uh for those moments where there's

1225
00:52:29,930 --> 00:52:26,160
a little bit more

1226
00:52:32,210 --> 00:52:29,940
um of a noticeable feel to uh where they

1227
00:52:34,670 --> 00:52:32,220
are in their seats right and I I think

1228
00:52:38,390 --> 00:52:34,680
it's very interesting after watching so

1229
00:52:41,270 --> 00:52:38,400
many uh splashdowns whenever we have

1230
00:52:43,450 --> 00:52:41,280
main parachute deploy they they don't

1231
00:52:46,490 --> 00:52:43,460
open to their full

1232
00:52:48,049 --> 00:52:46,500
ballooned shape right away if they do

1233
00:52:50,990 --> 00:52:48,059
something called reefing

1234
00:52:52,910 --> 00:52:51,000
so they open up quite slowly or

1235
00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:52,920
sometimes it appears that way that way

1236
00:52:58,250 --> 00:52:56,400
that jolt is not uh it's not exaggerated

1237
00:53:01,430 --> 00:52:58,260
any more than it has to be so they open

1238
00:53:04,609 --> 00:53:01,440
up slowly and slow the spacecraft down

1239
00:53:07,690 --> 00:53:04,619
again to about 16 miles per hour

1240
00:53:09,650 --> 00:53:07,700
again we're in the anticipated

1241
00:53:12,730 --> 00:53:09,660
loss of signal

1242
00:53:15,049 --> 00:53:12,740
there's uh two minutes or about

1243
00:53:17,089 --> 00:53:15,059
somewhere between two and three and a

1244
00:53:18,829 --> 00:53:17,099
half minutes remaining sometimes it's

1245
00:53:21,710 --> 00:53:18,839
hard to tell exactly when we'll be able

1246
00:53:24,230 --> 00:53:21,720
to get that signal back but we in about

1247
00:53:27,890 --> 00:53:24,240
three minutes we will start hearing uh

1248
00:53:30,290 --> 00:53:27,900
the core reach out to the crew to see if

1249
00:53:33,290 --> 00:53:30,300
they can make that connection

1250
00:53:36,049 --> 00:53:33,300
once again that the the loss of signal

1251
00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:36,059
is expected totally normal

1252
00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:38,160
um due to that buildup of plasma around

1253
00:53:43,670 --> 00:53:41,520
the exterior of the capsule

1254
00:53:47,210 --> 00:53:43,680
and we also have our recovery teams

1255
00:53:49,549 --> 00:53:47,220
already on site already on Shannon the

1256
00:53:51,230 --> 00:53:49,559
SpaceX recovery ship and that is waiting

1257
00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:51,240
off the coast of Tampa some of those

1258
00:53:55,370 --> 00:53:53,760
team members are at by helicopter we

1259
00:53:57,770 --> 00:53:55,380
have one of our NASA public affairs

1260
00:54:01,250 --> 00:53:57,780
officers also on

1261
00:54:04,730 --> 00:54:01,260
and there's our first view of the crew 5

1262
00:54:10,790 --> 00:54:04,740
crew in Dragon endurance re-entering the

1263
00:54:14,870 --> 00:54:13,069
So This Is A View From The Recovery ship

1264
00:54:16,670 --> 00:54:14,880
itself of crew Dragon re-entering

1265
00:54:18,290 --> 00:54:16,680
Earth's atmosphere of course we still do

1266
00:54:21,230 --> 00:54:18,300
not have communication with them because

1267
00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:21,240
you can see that plasma build up as they

1268
00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:23,760
are coming through the atmosphere that

1269
00:54:28,670 --> 00:54:25,800
heat shield doing all of the work to

1270
00:54:32,510 --> 00:54:28,680
ablate that heat as it builds up around

1271
00:54:34,609 --> 00:54:32,520
the capsule so again as we mentioned you

1272
00:54:37,430 --> 00:54:34,619
see the movements here that's the ship

1273
00:54:40,250 --> 00:54:37,440
camera moving and continuing to track

1274
00:54:42,530 --> 00:54:40,260
the spacecraft during re-entry we

1275
00:54:44,089 --> 00:54:42,540
anticipate reacquisition of signal in

1276
00:54:46,970 --> 00:54:44,099
just a couple of minutes from now as

1277
00:54:49,309 --> 00:54:46,980
Kate mentioned it can it can vary on

1278
00:54:51,049 --> 00:54:49,319
when we get that timing but great to

1279
00:54:52,849 --> 00:54:51,059
already have a view of our four

1280
00:54:57,710 --> 00:54:52,859
astronauts or three astronauts and one

1281
00:55:01,970 --> 00:54:59,390
there will also be a couple of Sonic

1282
00:55:06,109 --> 00:55:01,980
booms during that time frame

1283
00:55:12,710 --> 00:55:09,349
as I mentioned the SpaceX core SpaceX

1284
00:55:14,809 --> 00:55:12,720
dragons we have you Violet is clear

1285
00:55:24,170 --> 00:55:14,819
we have you the same good to have you

1286
00:55:28,309 --> 00:55:26,270
no it's incredible to know that the

1287
00:55:31,130 --> 00:55:28,319
voice we're hearing is coming from that

1288
00:55:32,450 --> 00:55:31,140
wow gorgeous ball of light and all of

1289
00:55:34,250 --> 00:55:32,460
the other little Points of Light you see

1290
00:55:35,930 --> 00:55:34,260
around it they appear to be

1291
00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:35,940
um streaking on the camera a little bit

1292
00:55:39,530 --> 00:55:38,400
those are stars uh obviously that

1293
00:55:41,930 --> 00:55:39,540
beautiful bright light in the middle

1294
00:55:43,930 --> 00:55:41,940
that's crew Dragon endurance coming home

1295
00:55:48,589 --> 00:55:43,940
after

1296
00:55:54,170 --> 00:55:51,470
we are standing by for drogue parachute

1297
00:55:57,829 --> 00:55:56,089
that'll be in about two minutes but we

1298
00:55:59,390 --> 00:55:57,839
already do have acquisition of signal

1299
00:56:01,430 --> 00:55:59,400
that came again a little bit earlier

1300
00:56:03,589 --> 00:56:01,440
than we expected so that's right it is a

1301
00:56:06,049 --> 00:56:03,599
little hard to Target sometimes

1302
00:56:11,530 --> 00:56:06,059
GPS has converged expect nominal

1303
00:56:11,540 --> 00:56:19,670
Dragon Hobby

1304
00:56:25,490 --> 00:56:21,650
again that point of Lights in the center

1305
00:56:29,089 --> 00:56:25,500
of your screen that is Dragon endurance

1306
00:56:32,450 --> 00:56:29,099
another a different View

1307
00:56:35,030 --> 00:56:32,460
this one infrared coming from the

1308
00:56:37,250 --> 00:56:35,040
recovery ship as we were mentioning all

1309
00:56:38,930 --> 00:56:37,260
of those team members that are ready to

1310
00:56:40,730 --> 00:56:38,940
recover the astronauts are on the ship

1311
00:56:42,349 --> 00:56:40,740
they are in position it'll take just a

1312
00:56:44,690 --> 00:56:42,359
little bit for them to move in toward

1313
00:56:46,490 --> 00:56:44,700
the capsule once it lands but they all

1314
00:56:48,950 --> 00:56:46,500
have a very important and distinct role

1315
00:56:52,130 --> 00:56:48,960
to play either retrieving the capsule or

1316
00:56:54,230 --> 00:56:52,140
helping the astronauts egress and they

1317
00:56:57,349 --> 00:56:54,240
are all standing by

1318
00:57:00,010 --> 00:56:57,359
this point in time Dragon endurance is

1319
00:57:03,290 --> 00:57:00,020
about to deploy the drogue parachutes

1320
00:57:07,130 --> 00:57:03,300
those automatically deploy about around

1321
00:57:13,609 --> 00:57:07,140
the 18 000 foot Mark and the council is

1322
00:57:13,619 --> 00:57:18,910
brace for drogue window

1323
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:23,030
Dragon brace

1324
00:57:26,450 --> 00:57:24,829
so just to call out there to let the

1325
00:57:28,730 --> 00:57:26,460
crew know that they are approaching that

1326
00:57:30,710 --> 00:57:28,740
window where the drug parachutes will

1327
00:57:34,130 --> 00:57:30,720
automatically deploy

1328
00:57:36,410 --> 00:57:34,140
and just prior to the deployment

1329
00:57:38,809 --> 00:57:36,420
um Dragon automatically safes the

1330
00:57:40,430 --> 00:57:38,819
propulsion system and then deploys the

1331
00:57:42,770 --> 00:57:40,440
parachutes to stabilize and help

1332
00:57:45,010 --> 00:57:42,780
decelerate the spacecraft

1333
00:57:48,829 --> 00:57:45,020
so like we said we're getting ready for

1334
00:57:51,230 --> 00:57:48,839
those drogue parachutes to deploy on

1335
00:57:55,069 --> 00:57:51,240
dragon that occurs automatically when

1336
00:57:57,770 --> 00:57:55,079
it's about 18 000 feet above the ocean

1337
00:58:01,010 --> 00:57:57,780
surface and the capsule is going roughly

1338
00:58:03,770 --> 00:58:01,020
350 miles per hour in that view before

1339
00:58:07,130 --> 00:58:03,780
there was a difference and here we can

1340
00:58:09,349 --> 00:58:07,140
see it's no longer quite streaking like

1341
00:58:11,630 --> 00:58:09,359
it was just moments ago or minutes ago I

1342
00:58:14,390 --> 00:58:11,640
should say like I said before it looks

1343
00:58:17,510 --> 00:58:14,400
like those joke deploys are now

1344
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:29,450
we got visual on two healthy drugs

1345
00:58:35,030 --> 00:58:31,849
as you can see with that infrared view

1346
00:58:36,589 --> 00:58:35,040
we have two healthy drogue parachutes on

1347
00:58:41,690 --> 00:58:36,599
Dragon

1348
00:58:44,210 --> 00:58:41,700
drogue chutes

1349
00:58:46,849 --> 00:58:44,220
those will remain

1350
00:58:49,309 --> 00:58:46,859
attached to the spacecraft until they

1351
00:58:53,150 --> 00:58:49,319
help deploy the main parachutes coming

1352
00:58:55,309 --> 00:58:53,160
up in just a few moments

1353
00:58:57,530 --> 00:58:55,319
again these views coming to us from the

1354
00:59:01,730 --> 00:58:57,540
recovery ship standing by to recover our

1355
00:59:01,740 --> 00:59:07,730
looks like we uh

1356
00:59:14,890 --> 00:59:10,069
it looks like we have main parachute

1357
00:59:14,900 --> 00:59:21,940
main shoot descent rate nominal

1358
00:59:28,910 --> 00:59:26,150
[Music]

1359
00:59:31,430 --> 00:59:28,920
a beautiful one thousand

1360
00:59:34,789 --> 00:59:31,440
beautiful view there from that recovery

1361
00:59:37,490 --> 00:59:34,799
vessel of dragon endurance with those

1362
00:59:39,170 --> 00:59:37,500
four healthy main parachutes

1363
00:59:42,650 --> 00:59:39,180
at this point in time the capsule is

1364
00:59:44,870 --> 00:59:42,660
going about 119 or was going about 119

1365
00:59:49,970 --> 00:59:44,880
miles per hour when those were deployed

1366
00:59:52,190 --> 00:59:49,980
and they also deployed about 6 500 feet

1367
00:59:54,349 --> 00:59:52,200
so these main parachutes will help slow

1368
00:59:57,049 --> 00:59:54,359
the vehicle down even further to about

1369
00:59:59,270 --> 00:59:57,059
800 meters

1370
01:00:02,450 --> 00:59:59,280
copy 800.

1371
01:00:04,609 --> 01:00:02,460
uh so that we'll hear from the crew um

1372
01:00:06,170 --> 01:00:04,619
about how far they are above the surface

1373
01:00:09,410 --> 01:00:06,180
of the water um so there we just heard

1374
01:00:11,630 --> 01:00:09,420
that call out for 800 meters the capsule

1375
01:00:13,730 --> 01:00:11,640
is slowing down further and further by

1376
01:00:16,010 --> 01:00:13,740
the time that it actually splashes down

1377
01:00:17,930 --> 01:00:16,020
it'll only be going about 16 miles per

1378
01:00:20,990 --> 01:00:17,940
hour

1379
01:00:22,910 --> 01:00:21,000
it's fascinating to think that uh just

1380
01:00:25,250 --> 01:00:22,920
minutes ago really they were in outer

1381
01:00:31,190 --> 01:00:28,849
copy 600 and are now just 600 meters

1382
01:00:34,010 --> 01:00:31,200
above Earth again we are targeting a 902

1383
01:00:37,130 --> 01:00:34,020
PM Eastern Time Splashdown 602 PM

1384
01:00:38,870 --> 01:00:37,140
Pacific so that is the next major

1385
01:00:40,910 --> 01:00:38,880
milestone for us today now that we have

1386
01:00:42,950 --> 01:00:40,920
four healthy main parachutes all

1387
01:00:44,750 --> 01:00:42,960
deployed things continue to look good

1388
01:00:47,329 --> 01:00:44,760
aboard dragon

1389
01:00:50,870 --> 01:00:47,339
that's right we're about a little less

1390
01:00:54,470 --> 01:00:50,880
than a minute and a half away from the

1391
01:00:59,210 --> 01:00:56,870
copy 400 meters

1392
01:01:04,490 --> 01:00:59,220
once again we are targeting a Splashdown

1393
01:01:07,130 --> 01:01:04,500
off the coast of Florida uh near Tampa

1394
01:01:08,630 --> 01:01:07,140
this is what we would consider a golf

1395
01:01:11,690 --> 01:01:08,640
Landing

1396
01:01:14,630 --> 01:01:11,700
and those uh strobes of light on your

1397
01:01:17,150 --> 01:01:14,640
screen those are spotlights coming from

1398
01:01:18,829 --> 01:01:17,160
the recovery vessels as they continue to

1399
01:01:21,530 --> 01:01:18,839
track

1400
01:01:24,710 --> 01:01:21,540
Dragon endurance 200 meters crew

1401
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,430
copy 200 and braced

1402
01:01:32,450 --> 01:01:30,470
Commander Nicole Mann giving out that

1403
01:01:33,950 --> 01:01:32,460
call as we are standing by for

1404
01:01:48,710 --> 01:01:33,960
Splashdown off the coast of Tampa

1405
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:54,589
there we can see the water surface

1406
01:02:04,250 --> 01:01:56,450
Dragon endurance coming closer and

1407
01:02:04,260 --> 01:02:10,450
and as you just saw Splashdown of crew 5

1408
01:02:20,270 --> 01:02:15,589
7 Days in SpaceX Dragon Splashdown names

1409
01:02:25,490 --> 01:02:22,910
copy Dragon we concur with Splashdown

1410
01:02:29,990 --> 01:02:25,500
and Mains released Dragon Endurance on

1411
01:02:33,829 --> 01:02:31,849
as you can see on your screen visual

1412
01:02:36,109 --> 01:02:33,839
confirmation for Splashdown thank you

1413
01:02:37,789 --> 01:02:36,119
that was on one heck of a ride we're

1414
01:02:41,210 --> 01:02:37,799
happy to be home looking forward to next

1415
01:02:46,549 --> 01:02:44,030
Dragon endurance has returned home and

1416
01:02:49,849 --> 01:02:46,559
NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh

1417
01:02:52,730 --> 01:02:49,859
cassida shaxa astronaut kuichu wakata

1418
01:02:55,549 --> 01:02:52,740
and roscosmos cosmena Anna kikuna are

1419
01:02:58,730 --> 01:02:55,559
back on Earth after an approximately 19

1420
01:03:00,890 --> 01:02:58,740
Hour Return Journey from space

1421
01:03:03,049 --> 01:03:00,900
the SpaceX recovery ship and team has

1422
01:03:04,849 --> 01:03:03,059
been waiting for Dragons Splashdown and

1423
01:03:07,069 --> 01:03:04,859
now as you can see they're making their

1424
01:03:08,569 --> 01:03:07,079
way to that slashtown location

1425
01:03:10,309 --> 01:03:08,579
right and these teams have been ready

1426
01:03:12,470 --> 01:03:10,319
and been waiting about three nautical

1427
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:12,480
miles away so it'll take them around 30

1428
01:03:17,750 --> 01:03:14,400
minutes to make their way to Nicole

1429
01:03:19,910 --> 01:03:17,760
joshuichi and Anna inside Dragon we will

1430
01:03:21,829 --> 01:03:19,920
be listening for Mission Control

1431
01:03:24,049 --> 01:03:21,839
Hawthorne to give the go for the safe

1432
01:03:26,510 --> 01:03:24,059
approach now that we have Splashdown

1433
01:03:27,770 --> 01:03:26,520
there are several different roles there

1434
01:03:29,690 --> 01:03:27,780
is an approach boat that will begin

1435
01:03:32,150 --> 01:03:29,700
inspections they want to make sure that

1436
01:03:35,630 --> 01:03:32,160
there aren't any hyper Galls mono methyl

1437
01:03:37,730 --> 01:03:35,640
hydrogen and nitrogen tetroxide still

1438
01:03:40,370 --> 01:03:37,740
lingering around the spacecraft that way

1439
01:03:46,490 --> 01:03:40,380
it is safe for the teams to move in even

1440
01:03:52,370 --> 01:03:49,730
yeah the crew will basically uh approach

1441
01:03:55,849 --> 01:03:52,380
the capsule

1442
01:03:58,430 --> 01:03:55,859
um and they use uh what's basically a a

1443
01:04:02,809 --> 01:03:58,440
sniffing device a device that can detect

1444
01:04:06,230 --> 01:04:02,819
uh those levels of mmh and nto

1445
01:04:08,030 --> 01:04:06,240
um and they are toxic to breathe and so

1446
01:04:09,230 --> 01:04:08,040
this is a super important step to

1447
01:04:11,630 --> 01:04:09,240
complete

1448
01:04:17,089 --> 01:04:11,640
um I think this Dragon looks like we are

1449
01:04:20,930 --> 01:04:19,190
that Dragon we Concur and I'm happy to

1450
01:04:26,089 --> 01:04:20,940
report that the recovery Personnel have

1451
01:04:26,099 --> 01:04:29,990
awesome thank you

1452
01:04:33,710 --> 01:04:31,849
so just some communication there back

1453
01:04:38,329 --> 01:04:33,720
and forth with SpaceX core Michael

1454
01:04:41,930 --> 01:04:38,339
blasko and capsule Commander Nicole Mann

1455
01:04:44,990 --> 01:04:41,940
just to confirm the landing position of

1456
01:04:46,849 --> 01:04:45,000
the capsule itself as we can see there

1457
01:04:50,329 --> 01:04:46,859
on your screen even better now with that

1458
01:04:51,890 --> 01:04:50,339
Spotlight the crew recovery team is

1459
01:04:53,390 --> 01:04:51,900
approaching

1460
01:04:55,789 --> 01:04:53,400
um the capsule they are going to make

1461
01:04:59,390 --> 01:04:55,799
sure that that monomethyl hydrazine and

1462
01:05:01,670 --> 01:04:59,400
nitrogen tetroxide is not present on the

1463
01:05:04,549 --> 01:05:01,680
exterior of the vehicle there could

1464
01:05:07,730 --> 01:05:04,559
potentially be traces due to the fact

1465
01:05:09,829 --> 01:05:07,740
that those are the thrusters that Dragon

1466
01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:09,839
was using while

1467
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:10,640
um

1468
01:05:16,130 --> 01:05:13,920
in orbit and so we want to make sure

1469
01:05:19,309 --> 01:05:16,140
that there aren't any traces of those

1470
01:05:21,410 --> 01:05:19,319
fumes basically so that the team can get

1471
01:05:24,170 --> 01:05:21,420
close to the capsule we will actually

1472
01:05:27,650 --> 01:05:24,180
see an individual climbing on top of the

1473
01:05:30,829 --> 01:05:27,660
capsule to secure the of the harnesses

1474
01:05:33,890 --> 01:05:30,839
that are necessary the rigging to to

1475
01:05:37,750 --> 01:05:33,900
lift the capsule onto the recovery

1476
01:05:40,670 --> 01:05:37,760
vessel as I have said before

1477
01:05:43,089 --> 01:05:40,680
certainly a job that I would not be fit

1478
01:05:46,910 --> 01:05:43,099
to do as it avoids

1479
01:05:50,030 --> 01:05:46,920
as it requires jumping into what we can

1480
01:05:53,450 --> 01:05:51,890
um and climbing on top of the capsule

1481
01:05:55,309 --> 01:05:53,460
and securing that that heart those

1482
01:05:57,410 --> 01:05:55,319
harnesses where's your sense of

1483
01:06:00,349 --> 01:05:57,420
adventure

1484
01:06:02,089 --> 01:06:00,359
as we heard the core and the crew

1485
01:06:04,010 --> 01:06:02,099
communicate the capsule is in stable one

1486
01:06:06,410 --> 01:06:04,020
that means it's in an upright position

1487
01:06:08,770 --> 01:06:06,420
in the water that makes it easier to

1488
01:06:11,329 --> 01:06:08,780
recover obviously that is the ideal

1489
01:06:13,549 --> 01:06:11,339
Splashdown position for the capsule

1490
01:06:15,170 --> 01:06:13,559
itself so the crew members are still

1491
01:06:16,670 --> 01:06:15,180
inside they are still in their suits in

1492
01:06:19,190 --> 01:06:16,680
their seats they will remain that way

1493
01:06:22,789 --> 01:06:19,200
until the spacecraft itself is lifted

1494
01:06:25,970 --> 01:06:22,799
onto the recovery vessel but the first

1495
01:06:27,410 --> 01:06:25,980
ships arrive are those fast boats again

1496
01:06:29,270 --> 01:06:27,420
they are just checking out the

1497
01:06:34,430 --> 01:06:29,280
spacecraft making sure that it's safe

1498
01:06:40,549 --> 01:06:36,109
so for those of you that have just

1499
01:06:43,910 --> 01:06:40,559
recently joined the crew 5 team has

1500
01:06:46,970 --> 01:06:43,920
splashed down off the coast of Tampa

1501
01:06:49,730 --> 01:06:46,980
Florida that occurred just minutes ago

1502
01:07:01,130 --> 01:06:49,740
and the recovery teams are now moving

1503
01:07:07,250 --> 01:07:04,849
and we're anticipating that those first

1504
01:07:10,370 --> 01:07:07,260
approach boats will arrive at the

1505
01:07:13,010 --> 01:07:10,380
capsule just a few minutes from now

1506
01:07:15,109 --> 01:07:13,020
Dragon SpaceX is go for Recovery

1507
01:07:21,550 --> 01:07:15,119
Personnel to approach expect Personnel

1508
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:26,270
[Applause]

1509
01:07:31,010 --> 01:07:28,970
SpaceX core just giving the crew a heads

1510
01:07:33,289 --> 01:07:31,020
up hey you might be seeing some people

1511
01:07:35,630 --> 01:07:33,299
on the outside of the capsule it's to be

1512
01:07:39,109 --> 01:07:35,640
expected yeah first people that they've

1513
01:07:40,250 --> 01:07:39,119
seen uh on Earth you know in almost six

1514
01:07:44,630 --> 01:07:40,260
months

1515
01:07:46,510 --> 01:07:44,640
that's right 157 days in space

1516
01:07:51,230 --> 01:07:46,520
now complete

1517
01:07:51,829 --> 01:07:51,240
as Dragon endurance with the crew 5 crew

1518
01:08:01,430 --> 01:07:51,839
um

1519
01:08:06,289 --> 01:08:04,309
again this was the first flight so the

1520
01:08:08,690 --> 01:08:06,299
first re-entry experience as well for

1521
01:08:12,109 --> 01:08:08,700
three of these crew members Nicole man

1522
01:08:14,569 --> 01:08:12,119
Josh cassida and Anna kikuna

1523
01:08:16,910 --> 01:08:14,579
I'm sure that kuichiwakata who now has

1524
01:08:18,530 --> 01:08:16,920
505 days in space across five space

1525
01:08:20,030 --> 01:08:18,540
flights told them a lot of what to

1526
01:08:22,789 --> 01:08:20,040
expect but it was a new spacecraft for

1527
01:08:29,209 --> 01:08:22,799
him too so a lot of new and exciting

1528
01:08:34,789 --> 01:08:32,510
as we said before the crew generally

1529
01:08:38,689 --> 01:08:34,799
experiences between three to five G's

1530
01:08:43,249 --> 01:08:38,699
during the re-entry portion of the

1531
01:08:49,729 --> 01:08:43,259
um of their journey home so not too bad

1532
01:08:54,349 --> 01:08:51,950
again these views coming to us from

1533
01:08:56,749 --> 01:08:54,359
recovery vessels off the coast of Tampa

1534
01:08:59,689 --> 01:08:56,759
Florida had an on time splash down at

1535
01:09:01,849 --> 01:08:59,699
902 PM eastern time and from what we can

1536
01:09:04,249 --> 01:09:01,859
see I would say those weather reports

1537
01:09:06,050 --> 01:09:04,259
were pretty accurate we had clear skies

1538
01:09:07,789 --> 01:09:06,060
able to see the spacecraft coming down

1539
01:09:10,729 --> 01:09:07,799
under those four main parachutes and

1540
01:09:16,910 --> 01:09:10,739
even the drogue shoots as well and the

1541
01:09:22,189 --> 01:09:18,590
that's right so as Leo just said that

1542
01:09:24,289 --> 01:09:22,199
Splashdown occurred seven minutes ago

1543
01:09:26,209 --> 01:09:24,299
in a few minutes

1544
01:09:29,150 --> 01:09:26,219
um so there's there's still more things

1545
01:09:30,590 --> 01:09:29,160
that has to occur it's um we can't just

1546
01:09:33,229 --> 01:09:30,600
pick up the capsule and put them on a

1547
01:09:35,329 --> 01:09:33,239
boat and bring them out very similar to

1548
01:09:37,249 --> 01:09:35,339
their activities in space their

1549
01:09:40,430 --> 01:09:37,259
activities here for Recovery back on

1550
01:09:43,550 --> 01:09:40,440
Earth are also uh very highly uh

1551
01:09:46,370 --> 01:09:43,560
coordinated and uh and choreographed

1552
01:09:49,490 --> 01:09:46,380
really so we can see that the approach

1553
01:09:51,650 --> 01:09:49,500
boat has reached the capsule we should

1554
01:09:54,410 --> 01:09:51,660
see hopefully it might be it might be

1555
01:09:56,570 --> 01:09:54,420
tough because of the distance but we

1556
01:09:58,610 --> 01:09:56,580
will hopefully be able to see one of the

1557
01:10:01,910 --> 01:09:58,620
SpaceX recovery team members will

1558
01:10:03,950 --> 01:10:01,920
actually hop in the water and then pull

1559
01:10:06,830 --> 01:10:03,960
themselves up onto the capsule to

1560
01:10:08,870 --> 01:10:06,840
basically secure the harnesses that are

1561
01:10:12,470 --> 01:10:08,880
required to lift the capsule onto the

1562
01:10:14,570 --> 01:10:12,480
recovery vessel as of right now if we

1563
01:10:17,090 --> 01:10:14,580
were able to see

1564
01:10:18,890 --> 01:10:17,100
Dragon SpaceX requesting permission to

1565
01:10:25,550 --> 01:10:18,900
come on board via the display camera

1566
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,910
welcome on board

1567
01:10:33,709 --> 01:10:30,649
all right so just

1568
01:10:38,330 --> 01:10:35,990
SpaceX Mission Control basically just

1569
01:10:40,490 --> 01:10:38,340
making sure it's okay for us to turn

1570
01:10:41,630 --> 01:10:40,500
those interior cameras on so we should

1571
01:10:44,030 --> 01:10:41,640
get a view

1572
01:10:46,910 --> 01:10:44,040
um the one that we saw before that sits

1573
01:10:49,729 --> 01:10:46,920
between pilot Josh cassida and Commander

1574
01:10:51,950 --> 01:10:49,739
Colt Nicole Mann so we can see the the

1575
01:10:53,750 --> 01:10:51,960
screens that they're looking at

1576
01:10:56,810 --> 01:10:53,760
um but as we were saying the the

1577
01:10:59,630 --> 01:10:56,820
recovery team is circling the vessel

1578
01:11:02,209 --> 01:10:59,640
just making sure that there are no

1579
01:11:05,149 --> 01:11:02,219
hypergol fumes there that are present

1580
01:11:07,930 --> 01:11:05,159
there's also another team circling and

1581
01:11:11,030 --> 01:11:07,940
Gathering the parachutes from the water

1582
01:11:11,630 --> 01:11:11,040
to try and recover those as well

1583
01:11:14,330 --> 01:11:11,640
um

1584
01:11:16,430 --> 01:11:14,340
I once we hear the call out that there

1585
01:11:18,290 --> 01:11:16,440
are no hyper goals present the the

1586
01:11:19,430 --> 01:11:18,300
recovery team will be able to take off

1587
01:11:24,410 --> 01:11:19,440
their

1588
01:11:26,870 --> 01:11:24,420
to see them they would have personal

1589
01:11:29,510 --> 01:11:26,880
protection Excuse excuse me personal

1590
01:11:31,250 --> 01:11:29,520
protective equipment on those breather

1591
01:11:34,070 --> 01:11:31,260
masks basically to make sure that

1592
01:11:35,149 --> 01:11:34,080
they're breathing clean air to ensure

1593
01:11:42,709 --> 01:11:35,159
that

1594
01:11:47,870 --> 01:11:45,050
of course during this time oh look here

1595
01:11:50,209 --> 01:11:47,880
we are that's our crew five astronauts

1596
01:11:53,450 --> 01:11:50,219
now back on Earth again on the left you

1597
01:11:55,729 --> 01:11:53,460
can just see the top of her helmet visor

1598
01:11:58,189 --> 01:11:55,739
that's Commander Nicole man NASA

1599
01:12:01,070 --> 01:11:58,199
astronaut and on the right NASA's Josh

1600
01:12:03,290 --> 01:12:01,080
cassida the pilot for the mission

1601
01:12:12,290 --> 01:12:03,300
SpaceX is back on board with the display

1602
01:12:17,090 --> 01:12:14,870
that capsule we were seeing uh

1603
01:12:20,450 --> 01:12:17,100
sitting in the water just off the coast

1604
01:12:23,209 --> 01:12:20,460
of Tampa also on board we have oh and a

1605
01:12:25,130 --> 01:12:23,219
thumbs up there from Nicole man and Josh

1606
01:12:28,130 --> 01:12:25,140
cassador I imagine probably the same

1607
01:12:29,930 --> 01:12:28,140
from kuichiwakata and anakikina uh but

1608
01:12:32,090 --> 01:12:29,940
to their right and left as the mission

1609
01:12:33,950 --> 01:12:32,100
Specialists and a good look again at

1610
01:12:36,350 --> 01:12:33,960
those crew displays

1611
01:12:38,510 --> 01:12:36,360
um Dragon again a totally autonomous

1612
01:12:42,229 --> 01:12:38,520
flight home they are just able to

1613
01:12:44,689 --> 01:12:42,239
monitor the next steps and await

1614
01:12:46,850 --> 01:12:44,699
for the spacecraft to be picked up by

1615
01:12:48,350 --> 01:12:46,860
the recovery vessel so once those

1616
01:12:51,410 --> 01:12:48,360
Ordnance and Hyper Gall checks are

1617
01:12:53,450 --> 01:12:51,420
complete it'll take about 18 a little

1618
01:12:55,910 --> 01:12:53,460
less than 20 minutes for the rigging to

1619
01:12:58,729 --> 01:12:55,920
be complete and around the same time we

1620
01:13:00,410 --> 01:12:58,739
expect the recovery ship to arrive and

1621
01:13:03,470 --> 01:13:00,420
shortly thereafter they will begin to

1622
01:13:05,570 --> 01:13:03,480
lift Dragon onto the nest on the

1623
01:13:07,130 --> 01:13:05,580
recovery ship they'll pull it toward a

1624
01:13:10,010 --> 01:13:07,140
platform

1625
01:13:11,990 --> 01:13:10,020
Dragon SpaceX hypergol sweeps and

1626
01:13:15,229 --> 01:13:12,000
unfired Ordnance checks are nominal

1627
01:13:18,649 --> 01:13:15,239
rigging is in progress approximately 25

1628
01:13:25,450 --> 01:13:18,659
minutes until capsule lift standby for

1629
01:13:25,460 --> 01:13:29,870
Dragon City

1630
01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:32,390
so confirming good ordinance and Hyper

1631
01:13:37,130 --> 01:13:34,080
gold checks meaning they didn't detect

1632
01:13:39,649 --> 01:13:37,140
any of those fumes that would prevent us

1633
01:13:42,290 --> 01:13:39,659
from coming closer to the spacecraft as

1634
01:13:43,910 --> 01:13:42,300
well as we are anticipating they will

1635
01:13:46,070 --> 01:13:43,920
have a private medical conference with

1636
01:13:48,830 --> 01:13:46,080
these SpaceX fight doctors this is

1637
01:13:50,030 --> 01:13:48,840
normal routine for astronauts they have

1638
01:13:52,550 --> 01:13:50,040
them regularly on the International

1639
01:13:54,950 --> 01:13:52,560
Space Station they have them after

1640
01:13:57,169 --> 01:13:54,960
launch and obviously after Splashdown so

1641
01:14:01,850 --> 01:13:57,179
just a chance for the crew members to

1642
01:14:03,950 --> 01:14:01,860
check in with the medical teams

1643
01:14:05,470 --> 01:14:03,960
that's right so that view there on the

1644
01:14:08,350 --> 01:14:05,480
right hand side

1645
01:14:12,110 --> 01:14:08,360
there is now an individual

1646
01:14:15,830 --> 01:14:12,120
who is basically climbing or will be

1647
01:14:18,610 --> 01:14:15,840
climbing on top of the Dragon capsule to

1648
01:14:21,890 --> 01:14:18,620
secure the harnesses and the rigging

1649
01:14:24,830 --> 01:14:21,900
that we will use to lift the Dragon

1650
01:14:26,810 --> 01:14:24,840
capsule out of the water and onto that

1651
01:14:30,910 --> 01:14:26,820
recovery vessel

1652
01:14:34,250 --> 01:14:30,920
is in route

1653
01:14:36,169 --> 01:14:34,260
it is getting closer and closer to the

1654
01:14:39,169 --> 01:14:36,179
Dragon capsule so we should have some

1655
01:14:41,510 --> 01:14:39,179
better views As Time continues but as

1656
01:14:44,450 --> 01:14:41,520
that call out that we just heard about a

1657
01:14:48,290 --> 01:14:44,460
minute ago everything checked out from

1658
01:14:51,830 --> 01:14:48,300
the uh the hyper Gall standpoint uh none

1659
01:14:54,830 --> 01:14:51,840
were lingering and so the crew the

1660
01:14:57,350 --> 01:14:54,840
recovery team excuse me is okay to take

1661
01:14:59,390 --> 01:14:57,360
off those uh those respirators that they

1662
01:15:02,169 --> 01:14:59,400
were using for safety purposes and

1663
01:15:10,430 --> 01:15:02,179
proceed with the nominal

1664
01:15:17,450 --> 01:15:13,610
once these crew members arrive on the

1665
01:15:20,330 --> 01:15:17,460
recovery vessel Shannon they will again

1666
01:15:22,189 --> 01:15:20,340
be placed in the nest the endurance

1667
01:15:24,050 --> 01:15:22,199
spacecraft itself will be placed in the

1668
01:15:26,390 --> 01:15:24,060
nest and moved to a platform where the

1669
01:15:28,729 --> 01:15:26,400
astronauts will egress that side hatch

1670
01:15:46,550 --> 01:15:28,739
being opened for the first time in 157

1671
01:15:52,130 --> 01:15:49,189
might have been a false alarm false

1672
01:15:53,390 --> 01:15:52,140
quindar so they uh the astronauts will

1673
01:15:55,550 --> 01:15:53,400
egress

1674
01:15:58,189 --> 01:15:55,560
um and as with every space flight that

1675
01:16:02,090 --> 01:15:58,199
we see whether they are flying excuse me

1676
01:16:04,490 --> 01:16:02,100
from uh here in America on

1677
01:16:06,770 --> 01:16:04,500
dragon or if they are in a soyuz

1678
01:16:08,570 --> 01:16:06,780
spacecraft all astronauts and cosmonauts

1679
01:16:10,970 --> 01:16:08,580
receive medical checkouts after they

1680
01:16:13,010 --> 01:16:10,980
land again

1681
01:16:15,350 --> 01:16:13,020
this is our totally normal procedure

1682
01:16:17,330 --> 01:16:15,360
just an opportunity for them to get

1683
01:16:19,729 --> 01:16:17,340
checked out it is quite an environment

1684
01:16:24,110 --> 01:16:19,739
change coming back from 157 days in

1685
01:16:26,450 --> 01:16:24,120
microgravity back to uh 1G here on Earth

1686
01:16:27,950 --> 01:16:26,460
that's absolutely right but one thing

1687
01:16:32,030 --> 01:16:27,960
that is for sure

1688
01:16:35,090 --> 01:16:32,040
um of the recovery uh excuse me of the

1689
01:16:38,510 --> 01:16:35,100
Splashdown and Recovery views that we've

1690
01:16:41,510 --> 01:16:38,520
had whenever we see the crew coming out

1691
01:16:43,790 --> 01:16:41,520
of the capsule I've yet to see somebody

1692
01:16:44,950 --> 01:16:43,800
come out that didn't have a smile on

1693
01:16:48,050 --> 01:16:44,960
their face

1694
01:16:50,570 --> 01:16:48,060
they just said it was one great ride so

1695
01:16:52,010 --> 01:16:50,580
I'm sure they're all excited uh number

1696
01:16:53,450 --> 01:16:52,020
one for the experience and the

1697
01:16:55,189 --> 01:16:53,460
accomplishments that they have but also

1698
01:16:57,470 --> 01:16:55,199
now they're back home they get to spend

1699
01:16:59,270 --> 01:16:57,480
time with friends and family they will

1700
01:17:00,590 --> 01:16:59,280
be helped onto a stretcher as we've seen

1701
01:17:02,750 --> 01:17:00,600
before

1702
01:17:05,030 --> 01:17:02,760
um just to help them get their land legs

1703
01:17:05,810 --> 01:17:05,040
back yeah absolutely

1704
01:17:10,010 --> 01:17:05,820
um

1705
01:17:13,850 --> 01:17:10,020
it will take about 25 minutes so we

1706
01:17:16,250 --> 01:17:13,860
heard uh let's see about two minutes ago

1707
01:17:19,729 --> 01:17:16,260
we heard that it will take about 25

1708
01:17:22,810 --> 01:17:19,739
minutes for the entire rigging process

1709
01:17:26,689 --> 01:17:22,820
to complete and to lift the capsule

1710
01:17:28,370 --> 01:17:26,699
onto the recovery vessel we can see

1711
01:17:31,610 --> 01:17:28,380
there on the right hand side of the

1712
01:17:32,930 --> 01:17:31,620
screen that rigging is in process the

1713
01:17:36,110 --> 01:17:32,940
left hand side of your screen of course

1714
01:17:38,570 --> 01:17:36,120
is a view inside Dragon capsule where

1715
01:17:41,209 --> 01:17:38,580
the crew is using those touchscreen

1716
01:17:43,970 --> 01:17:41,219
displays to monitor progress of

1717
01:17:47,390 --> 01:17:43,980
everything I imagine they can also hear

1718
01:17:50,270 --> 01:17:47,400
what's going on outside as well in terms

1719
01:17:51,709 --> 01:17:50,280
of the individual that is crawling

1720
01:17:56,689 --> 01:17:51,719
around on top

1721
01:18:02,630 --> 01:17:59,149
spend 15 minutes now since we had

1722
01:18:04,689 --> 01:18:02,640
splashed down uh 902 p.m eastern time

1723
01:18:07,669 --> 01:18:04,699
again off the coast of Tampa everything

1724
01:18:09,470 --> 01:18:07,679
uh was looking really nice tonight for

1725
01:18:11,209 --> 01:18:09,480
that on time splash down right on the

1726
01:18:13,550 --> 01:18:11,219
minute that's right we even had

1727
01:18:16,189 --> 01:18:13,560
acquisition of signal about a minute

1728
01:18:17,590 --> 01:18:16,199
earlier than originally anticipated but

1729
01:18:21,649 --> 01:18:17,600
as we said before

1730
01:18:23,870 --> 01:18:21,659
that's it's not an exact uh time that we

1731
01:18:26,630 --> 01:18:23,880
know it comes back so we were happy

1732
01:18:28,970 --> 01:18:26,640
certainly happy to hear Commander Nicole

1733
01:18:30,290 --> 01:18:28,980
Mann's Voice come through pretty loud

1734
01:18:32,750 --> 01:18:30,300
and clear

1735
01:18:35,750 --> 01:18:32,760
and of course these uh checks and and

1736
01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:35,760
the rigging and lifting Dragon itself

1737
01:18:39,649 --> 01:18:38,159
take time and and the teams are very

1738
01:18:41,630 --> 01:18:39,659
deliberate and take the time that they

1739
01:18:43,729 --> 01:18:41,640
need to make sure that everything is

1740
01:18:47,390 --> 01:18:43,739
done properly and safely but I do think

1741
01:18:49,490 --> 01:18:47,400
it's very uh impressive and and funny to

1742
01:18:52,790 --> 01:18:49,500
me that within two hours you can go from

1743
01:18:55,130 --> 01:18:52,800
being in space to already back on uh

1744
01:18:58,189 --> 01:18:55,140
back on lands on

1745
01:19:00,470 --> 01:18:58,199
the recovery ship it's it's faster than

1746
01:19:05,810 --> 01:19:00,480
my flight from California to Houston so

1747
01:19:12,530 --> 01:19:08,689
speaking of timelines it's also been

1748
01:19:14,689 --> 01:19:12,540
pretty incredible to see The Continuous

1749
01:19:17,630 --> 01:19:14,699
Improvement of the recovery process

1750
01:19:22,970 --> 01:19:17,640
itself so thinking back to the demo one

1751
01:19:26,510 --> 01:19:22,980
demo 2 missions where uh really that

1752
01:19:29,330 --> 01:19:26,520
process of of lifting the capsule out of

1753
01:19:31,490 --> 01:19:29,340
the water I forget how long it took the

1754
01:19:34,870 --> 01:19:31,500
first time we officially did it I think

1755
01:19:38,870 --> 01:19:34,880
it was about an hour and a half

1756
01:19:41,510 --> 01:19:38,880
and it's really well streamlined at this

1757
01:19:44,450 --> 01:19:41,520
point in time you know this is the the

1758
01:19:46,070 --> 01:19:44,460
fifth operational mission to the

1759
01:19:47,689 --> 01:19:46,080
International Space Station of course we

1760
01:19:50,630 --> 01:19:47,699
launched crew six but they're still up

1761
01:19:53,350 --> 01:19:50,640
there so this is the fifth one to

1762
01:19:57,410 --> 01:19:53,360
um to slash down and then plus demo two

1763
01:20:00,649 --> 01:19:57,420
with NASA astronauts Bob and Doug you

1764
01:20:02,990 --> 01:20:00,659
know our favorite space dads and uh it's

1765
01:20:05,330 --> 01:20:03,000
just been really cool to see how as The

1766
01:20:08,149 --> 01:20:05,340
SpaceX recovery teams have basically

1767
01:20:10,910 --> 01:20:08,159
iterated the process a number of times

1768
01:20:14,149 --> 01:20:10,920
not only with the actual Landings but

1769
01:20:18,050 --> 01:20:14,159
with practiced ones as well with a

1770
01:20:20,570 --> 01:20:18,060
Dragon capsule mock-up so it's pretty

1771
01:20:22,850 --> 01:20:20,580
cool to see how streamlined the the

1772
01:20:26,270 --> 01:20:22,860
operations have been and there we can

1773
01:20:29,030 --> 01:20:26,280
actually see our first good view of that

1774
01:20:32,110 --> 01:20:29,040
SpaceX recovery team member that is

1775
01:20:35,750 --> 01:20:32,120
climbing on board the Dragon capsule

1776
01:20:38,390 --> 01:20:35,760
this is exactly what they have to do in

1777
01:20:40,790 --> 01:20:38,400
order to place the harnesses and the

1778
01:20:42,890 --> 01:20:40,800
rigging and secure them those that

1779
01:20:45,709 --> 01:20:42,900
equipment of course is critical to the

1780
01:20:47,570 --> 01:20:45,719
lifting operation where we lift the

1781
01:20:49,669 --> 01:20:47,580
Dragon capsule out of the water and

1782
01:20:52,250 --> 01:20:49,679
place it onto the recovery vessels so

1783
01:20:55,910 --> 01:20:52,260
we'll be able to see this individual

1784
01:20:57,729 --> 01:20:55,920
move around almost in a spider monkey

1785
01:21:00,950 --> 01:20:57,739
like faction

1786
01:21:03,950 --> 01:21:00,960
with just such skill which is incredible

1787
01:21:05,390 --> 01:21:03,960
when you think about the fact that you

1788
01:21:07,870 --> 01:21:05,400
know they had to get in the water first

1789
01:21:11,510 --> 01:21:07,880
since I'm up to the capsule and so

1790
01:21:13,430 --> 01:21:11,520
their wetsuit is wet the parts of the

1791
01:21:16,430 --> 01:21:13,440
Dragon of the capsule itself are also

1792
01:21:18,950 --> 01:21:16,440
wet so it's not an easy job and they

1793
01:21:22,610 --> 01:21:18,960
undergo significant amounts of training

1794
01:21:25,130 --> 01:21:22,620
in order to perform this job not only

1795
01:21:28,250 --> 01:21:25,140
correctly but safely as well

1796
01:21:29,930 --> 01:21:28,260
and this was a role a similar role also

1797
01:21:32,090 --> 01:21:29,940
existed during Apollo those were also

1798
01:21:34,130 --> 01:21:32,100
obviously splashed on missions uh those

1799
01:21:35,810 --> 01:21:34,140
were called frogmen and so they would

1800
01:21:39,110 --> 01:21:35,820
make sure that the capsule was secured

1801
01:21:41,630 --> 01:21:39,120
before it was brought into the recovery

1802
01:21:43,790 --> 01:21:41,640
vessel speaking of recovery vessel as we

1803
01:21:46,729 --> 01:21:43,800
mentioned we have uh several team

1804
01:21:48,350 --> 01:21:46,739
members that are monitoring and

1805
01:21:50,810 --> 01:21:48,360
assisting with different roles whether

1806
01:21:54,169 --> 01:21:50,820
that is to help with medical checks or

1807
01:21:56,570 --> 01:21:54,179
to bring the crew Dragon back into the

1808
01:21:58,669 --> 01:21:56,580
ship itself we also have my colleague

1809
01:22:01,310 --> 01:21:58,679
NASA public affairs officer Chelsea

1810
01:22:03,950 --> 01:22:01,320
ballarte who is on the ship and she is

1811
01:22:06,169 --> 01:22:03,960
standing by on the phone to give us an

1812
01:22:08,810 --> 01:22:06,179
update so Chelsea tell us what it's like

1813
01:22:11,870 --> 01:22:08,820
what the teams are doing right now and

1814
01:22:15,830 --> 01:22:11,880
if you were able to see crew dragon as

1815
01:22:21,470 --> 01:22:18,050
hey Leah how do you hear me loud and

1816
01:22:28,550 --> 01:22:24,950
oh my gosh well hello Ahoy from the SS

1817
01:22:32,270 --> 01:22:30,470
welcome I'm so glad that you were able

1818
01:22:34,310 --> 01:22:32,280
to join us so tell us what the team

1819
01:22:39,250 --> 01:22:34,320
members are doing right now to prepare

1820
01:22:44,689 --> 01:22:42,050
absolutely so let us let me walk us back

1821
01:22:47,330 --> 01:22:44,699
a couple of just minutes ago as the true

1822
01:22:50,149 --> 01:22:47,340
Dragon came down we went to the tip top

1823
01:22:52,970 --> 01:22:50,159
of this boat on a helicopter path to get

1824
01:22:55,610 --> 01:22:52,980
a view the boat lights turned completely

1825
01:22:58,669 --> 01:22:55,620
off you could see every star in the sky

1826
01:23:01,189 --> 01:22:58,679
that's how dark it was and all of a

1827
01:23:04,310 --> 01:23:01,199
sudden you see the brightest shooting

1828
01:23:07,250 --> 01:23:04,320
star you ever saw in your life pointing

1829
01:23:10,010 --> 01:23:07,260
down at Earth and I was amazed how

1830
01:23:12,410 --> 01:23:10,020
quickly after those parachutes deployed

1831
01:23:16,070 --> 01:23:12,420
the shooting star went away and it just

1832
01:23:19,310 --> 01:23:16,080
became another dot in the sky among a

1833
01:23:21,110 --> 01:23:19,320
sea of stars but this boat had and

1834
01:23:24,229 --> 01:23:21,120
several other boats in the area turned

1835
01:23:27,470 --> 01:23:24,239
on their spotlights they had a drone

1836
01:23:30,229 --> 01:23:27,480
pointed at it so you always knew where

1837
01:23:32,149 --> 01:23:30,239
the where the dragon was even though to

1838
01:23:34,010 --> 01:23:32,159
me it just looked like another dot so

1839
01:23:35,209 --> 01:23:34,020
they were very quick to locate the

1840
01:23:37,669 --> 01:23:35,219
spacecraft

1841
01:23:39,950 --> 01:23:37,679
in the sky as it came down

1842
01:23:42,950 --> 01:23:39,960
I had my eyes on Dragon just a minute

1843
01:23:44,930 --> 01:23:42,960
ago the boat the SS Shannon right now is

1844
01:23:46,790 --> 01:23:44,940
is turning to get into a configuration

1845
01:23:54,430 --> 01:23:46,800
now that we know that we're safe from

1846
01:24:00,350 --> 01:23:57,770
see it with your own eyes

1847
01:24:02,330 --> 01:24:00,360
yes that's amazing Just In Space moments

1848
01:24:04,310 --> 01:24:02,340
ago and now we are getting views from

1849
01:24:06,709 --> 01:24:04,320
the recovery ship as well we can see it

1850
01:24:08,330 --> 01:24:06,719
uh backing up towards the spacecraft we

1851
01:24:11,209 --> 01:24:08,340
also had great views coming from the

1852
01:24:14,930 --> 01:24:11,219
ships during that descent uh so can you

1853
01:24:16,729 --> 01:24:14,940
tell us uh what's next for the teams and

1854
01:24:30,709 --> 01:24:16,739
what's next for you and the other

1855
01:24:35,630 --> 01:24:32,930
but we may have lost communication with

1856
01:24:37,790 --> 01:24:35,640
Chelsea but what an experience to be

1857
01:24:39,890 --> 01:24:37,800
able to be there and see it I'm very

1858
01:24:41,630 --> 01:24:39,900
fortunate enough to have shared that

1859
01:24:43,850 --> 01:24:41,640
experience I was going to say I think I

1860
01:24:45,950 --> 01:24:43,860
recall whenever you were the person on

1861
01:24:47,510 --> 01:24:45,960
the phone yes it was it was absolutely

1862
01:24:49,010 --> 01:24:47,520
incredible she's right it's like a

1863
01:24:50,810 --> 01:24:49,020
shooting star

1864
01:24:52,850 --> 01:24:50,820
um and great to hear you know that

1865
01:24:54,649 --> 01:24:52,860
things have been going well on the the

1866
01:24:56,149 --> 01:24:54,659
ship so far as she mentioned we were

1867
01:24:57,709 --> 01:24:56,159
seeing those

1868
01:24:59,689 --> 01:24:57,719
um it looked like strobe lights almost

1869
01:25:01,669 --> 01:24:59,699
but those were the spotlights tracking

1870
01:25:04,189 --> 01:25:01,679
crew dragon as it continued its descent

1871
01:25:06,229 --> 01:25:04,199
so yes they had great uh coverage of

1872
01:25:09,590 --> 01:25:06,239
that the entire time

1873
01:25:13,010 --> 01:25:09,600
so we have a great view here of dragon

1874
01:25:15,649 --> 01:25:13,020
endurance there with the crew 5 crew

1875
01:25:17,990 --> 01:25:15,659
still in their seats strapped in

1876
01:25:19,850 --> 01:25:18,000
um kind of like that part of the roller

1877
01:25:22,250 --> 01:25:19,860
coaster after it ends you still have to

1878
01:25:26,510 --> 01:25:22,260
stay in your chair until the attendants

1879
01:25:29,149 --> 01:25:26,520
give you the okay and lift the the bar

1880
01:25:31,010 --> 01:25:29,159
um so that that keeps you in so yeah we

1881
01:25:33,530 --> 01:25:31,020
can see that that recovery team in the

1882
01:25:36,290 --> 01:25:33,540
water if you look closely you can see

1883
01:25:40,250 --> 01:25:36,300
some of those harnesses hanging there in

1884
01:25:42,290 --> 01:25:40,260
front of the side hatch we can see the

1885
01:25:45,590 --> 01:25:42,300
recovery team members

1886
01:25:47,870 --> 01:25:45,600
on Shannon there near the nest

1887
01:25:53,030 --> 01:25:47,880
um that they're also preparing that

1888
01:25:55,490 --> 01:25:53,040
landing area so the part of the the ship

1889
01:25:57,890 --> 01:25:55,500
um that arches above where those crew

1890
01:26:01,729 --> 01:25:57,900
members are standing uh that will

1891
01:26:03,830 --> 01:26:01,739
actually actuate outward and

1892
01:26:07,010 --> 01:26:03,840
um that will be the part that lifts the

1893
01:26:09,649 --> 01:26:07,020
Dragon capsule out of the water and it

1894
01:26:11,390 --> 01:26:09,659
will basically bring it right over where

1895
01:26:13,070 --> 01:26:11,400
that Nest is

1896
01:26:14,750 --> 01:26:13,080
um and it will be the Dragon capsule

1897
01:26:19,189 --> 01:26:14,760
will be set down on that nest and then

1898
01:26:20,510 --> 01:26:19,199
that Nest will then be pulled forward so

1899
01:26:23,149 --> 01:26:20,520
kind of like if you think of yourself

1900
01:26:25,209 --> 01:26:23,159
like that Nestle being will be pulled in

1901
01:26:27,830 --> 01:26:25,219
the direction of you as the viewer

1902
01:26:30,110 --> 01:26:27,840
toward the forward end of the boat and

1903
01:26:32,510 --> 01:26:30,120
that is of course where the side hatch

1904
01:26:34,430 --> 01:26:32,520
will be opened and the crew will egress

1905
01:26:37,430 --> 01:26:34,440
uh they're using that side hatch now

1906
01:26:41,209 --> 01:26:37,440
when that side hatch is is opened this

1907
01:26:44,590 --> 01:26:41,219
will be the first time that the crew uh

1908
01:26:48,490 --> 01:26:44,600
inside the dry Dragon capsule has

1909
01:26:52,310 --> 01:26:48,500
basically breathed Earthly Earthly air

1910
01:26:54,290 --> 01:26:52,320
in 157 days it's the first time that

1911
01:26:55,850 --> 01:26:54,300
that side hatch will have been opened of

1912
01:26:57,290 --> 01:26:55,860
course the last time it was open was

1913
01:26:58,970 --> 01:26:57,300
launch day

1914
01:27:01,610 --> 01:26:58,980
um and that side hatch was closed in

1915
01:27:03,350 --> 01:27:01,620
preparation for launch and then while

1916
01:27:05,510 --> 01:27:03,360
they are on station they use the forward

1917
01:27:07,790 --> 01:27:05,520
Hatcher the the hatch that is underneath

1918
01:27:10,790 --> 01:27:07,800
the nose cone there which is the pointy

1919
01:27:12,410 --> 01:27:10,800
end of the Dragon capsule so it's I

1920
01:27:14,629 --> 01:27:12,420
always love seeing that hatch reopened

1921
01:27:17,450 --> 01:27:14,639
because it's it's a very nice bookend in

1922
01:27:18,950 --> 01:27:17,460
terms of when that hatch was last closed

1923
01:27:20,590 --> 01:27:18,960
that was the day that they went to space

1924
01:27:22,550 --> 01:27:20,600
and today's the day that they came home

1925
01:27:25,250 --> 01:27:22,560
absolutely and that Journey beginning

1926
01:27:27,950 --> 01:27:25,260
back in October and ending just 25

1927
01:27:30,290 --> 01:27:27,960
minutes ago an on-time Splashdown at 902

1928
01:27:33,050 --> 01:27:30,300
PM Eastern and everything is really

1929
01:27:34,850 --> 01:27:33,060
moving along with the timeline ideally

1930
01:27:37,370 --> 01:27:34,860
you know the recovery ship arrives about

1931
01:27:39,649 --> 01:27:37,380
30 minutes after Splashdown and here we

1932
01:27:41,870 --> 01:27:39,659
are almost ready to complete that

1933
01:27:45,470 --> 01:27:41,880
rigging process you can see that team

1934
01:27:47,510 --> 01:27:45,480
members still on the capsule itself and

1935
01:27:49,370 --> 01:27:47,520
they will again as you mentioned lift

1936
01:27:51,470 --> 01:27:49,380
that and place it in the nest and the

1937
01:27:54,890 --> 01:27:51,480
platform that the astronauts egress on

1938
01:27:57,050 --> 01:27:54,900
is built up a little bit because the

1939
01:28:00,410 --> 01:27:57,060
side hatch is about halfway up the

1940
01:28:02,270 --> 01:28:00,420
capsule itself so they will egress to

1941
01:28:04,430 --> 01:28:02,280
that be taken out for some routine

1942
01:28:07,550 --> 01:28:04,440
medical checks then eventually they will

1943
01:28:10,189 --> 01:28:07,560
board a helicopter tonight just within

1944
01:28:12,110 --> 01:28:10,199
um within a couple of hours of splashing

1945
01:28:14,390 --> 01:28:12,120
down that will take them back to Florida

1946
01:28:17,330 --> 01:28:14,400
before they fly back to Houston and

1947
01:28:18,470 --> 01:28:17,340
anakikina will also fly back to Russia

1948
01:28:19,910 --> 01:28:18,480
yeah

1949
01:28:21,770 --> 01:28:19,920
so we're getting to the point in time

1950
01:28:22,790 --> 01:28:21,780
where oh there we can see that lifting

1951
01:28:26,209 --> 01:28:22,800
arm

1952
01:28:27,189 --> 01:28:26,219
um being moved into the recovery

1953
01:28:29,209 --> 01:28:27,199
position

1954
01:28:30,890 --> 01:28:29,219
everything's going to move pretty quick

1955
01:28:33,890 --> 01:28:30,900
at this point in time

1956
01:28:37,850 --> 01:28:33,900
um the the capsule will be in that Nest

1957
01:28:40,970 --> 01:28:37,860
much faster than you think it will be we

1958
01:28:43,310 --> 01:28:40,980
can see that recovery team member that

1959
01:28:45,649 --> 01:28:43,320
was in charge of securing all the

1960
01:28:48,169 --> 01:28:45,659
harnesses and the rigging still on the

1961
01:28:51,350 --> 01:28:48,179
capsule we should see them jumping off

1962
01:28:53,270 --> 01:28:51,360
and back into the water and momentarily

1963
01:28:55,910 --> 01:28:53,280
that will be a good sign to indicate

1964
01:28:57,229 --> 01:28:55,920
that all those harnesses are secure and

1965
01:28:58,729 --> 01:28:57,239
in place

1966
01:29:01,669 --> 01:28:58,739
although I imagine it would be kind of

1967
01:29:03,890 --> 01:29:01,679
fun to um ride dragon as it gets lifted

1968
01:29:06,470 --> 01:29:03,900
out of the water but certainly not not

1969
01:29:08,689 --> 01:29:06,480
safe so we won't be doing that and when

1970
01:29:10,970 --> 01:29:08,699
they lift Dragon it's also very stable

1971
01:29:12,169 --> 01:29:10,980
the entire time it's not swinging around

1972
01:29:15,890 --> 01:29:12,179
a lot because there are those different

1973
01:29:17,629 --> 01:29:15,900
attachment points that make it very uh

1974
01:29:19,430 --> 01:29:17,639
very stable for the crew members coming

1975
01:29:21,770 --> 01:29:19,440
out of the water and being placed on the

1976
01:29:24,530 --> 01:29:21,780
recovery ship

1977
01:29:26,390 --> 01:29:24,540
yeah of course the the motion of the

1978
01:29:28,189 --> 01:29:26,400
Waves creating a lot of that movement

1979
01:29:31,030 --> 01:29:28,199
and there we can see that recovery team

1980
01:29:33,530 --> 01:29:31,040
member jumping off back into the water

1981
01:29:36,470 --> 01:29:33,540
so at this point in time it's a great

1982
01:29:39,649 --> 01:29:36,480
sign uh we should uh hear a call out

1983
01:29:41,689 --> 01:29:39,659
soon or or perhaps just see it first of

1984
01:29:43,550 --> 01:29:41,699
the capsule being lifted out of the

1985
01:29:45,890 --> 01:29:43,560
water again this will happen quite

1986
01:29:45,900 --> 01:29:52,070
drag Embrace for capsule lift

1987
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:55,550
thank you

1988
01:29:59,750 --> 01:29:57,590
and as the capsule is being lifted

1989
01:30:02,930 --> 01:29:59,760
there's our first view of that heat

1990
01:30:05,570 --> 01:30:02,940
shield once again that was the the

1991
01:30:07,729 --> 01:30:05,580
primary decelerator for the Dragon

1992
01:30:10,430 --> 01:30:07,739
capsule that's really what helps load

1993
01:30:14,030 --> 01:30:10,440
the vehicle down uh to about 350 miles

1994
01:30:17,149 --> 01:30:14,040
per hour from 17 500 of course during

1995
01:30:18,590 --> 01:30:17,159
that re-entry burn that we saw

1996
01:30:21,229 --> 01:30:18,600
um

1997
01:30:23,510 --> 01:30:21,239
certainly did its job yeah bringing them

1998
01:30:25,669 --> 01:30:23,520
to that gentle Splashdown with the help

1999
01:30:28,010 --> 01:30:25,679
of those parachutes about 16 miles per

2000
01:30:32,390 --> 01:30:30,410
so they are they have obviously lifted

2001
01:30:34,850 --> 01:30:32,400
Dragon they are placing it in that Nest

2002
01:30:37,010 --> 01:30:34,860
they'll secure it there and and remove

2003
01:30:40,310 --> 01:30:37,020
some of those attachment points before

2004
01:30:42,530 --> 01:30:40,320
moving it toward the egress platform now

2005
01:30:44,689 --> 01:30:42,540
we can see some Waters

2006
01:30:46,970 --> 01:30:44,699
um held in what looks like a kind of

2007
01:30:50,870 --> 01:30:46,980
like a bucketed area there underneath

2008
01:30:53,390 --> 01:30:50,880
the side hatch that is the location of

2009
01:30:55,430 --> 01:30:53,400
where the main parachutes are stored so

2010
01:30:57,229 --> 01:30:55,440
all four of those main parachutes are

2011
01:31:00,110 --> 01:30:57,239
tightly packed

2012
01:31:00,950 --> 01:31:00,120
um and and placed in that

2013
01:31:02,930 --> 01:31:00,960
um

2014
01:31:06,169 --> 01:31:02,940
tubby basically and we can see water

2015
01:31:09,530 --> 01:31:06,179
draining from it now the location of the

2016
01:31:12,709 --> 01:31:09,540
droke parachutes is up near where that

2017
01:31:15,950 --> 01:31:12,719
harness is secured above the

2018
01:31:17,930 --> 01:31:15,960
um above the side hatch there at the top

2019
01:31:20,629 --> 01:31:17,940
and it's always interesting for me to

2020
01:31:21,530 --> 01:31:20,639
see those attachment points because you

2021
01:31:24,530 --> 01:31:21,540
know

2022
01:31:26,629 --> 01:31:24,540
before seeing these missions or before

2023
01:31:28,790 --> 01:31:26,639
working at Nasa you would always assume

2024
01:31:31,430 --> 01:31:28,800
that the parachutes would just come from

2025
01:31:35,450 --> 01:31:31,440
the top of this business so not always

2026
01:31:42,470 --> 01:31:37,370
looks like dragon is

2027
01:31:47,330 --> 01:31:44,570
again things moving along pretty quickly

2028
01:31:50,270 --> 01:31:47,340
a few minutes ahead of the ideal

2029
01:31:52,430 --> 01:31:50,280
timeline here now just 30 minutes since

2030
01:31:55,250 --> 01:31:52,440
Splashdown and we already have the

2031
01:31:56,990 --> 01:31:55,260
spacecraft on the recovery vessel again

2032
01:32:00,530 --> 01:31:57,000
this one this recovery vessel being

2033
01:32:02,870 --> 01:32:00,540
named Shannon after Shannon Walker

2034
01:32:05,270 --> 01:32:02,880
Dragon welcome aboard the recovery

2035
01:32:07,910 --> 01:32:05,280
vessel recovery Personnel are completing

2036
01:32:16,430 --> 01:32:07,920
final checks standby for translation to

2037
01:32:24,229 --> 01:32:20,169
so at this point in time the crew 5

2038
01:32:27,169 --> 01:32:24,239
crew members are feeling

2039
01:32:29,390 --> 01:32:27,179
a different sensation now so when they

2040
01:32:31,669 --> 01:32:29,400
splash down of course they're greeted

2041
01:32:33,410 --> 01:32:31,679
with gravity once again but there was an

2042
01:32:35,149 --> 01:32:33,420
additional sensation of being in the

2043
01:32:37,370 --> 01:32:35,159
water and now that they are on the

2044
01:32:39,050 --> 01:32:37,380
recovery vessel it is clearly more

2045
01:32:42,430 --> 01:32:39,060
secure than that

2046
01:32:45,590 --> 01:32:42,440
or not more secure less a lot less

2047
01:32:46,970 --> 01:32:45,600
motion than being in the water of course

2048
01:32:49,070 --> 01:32:46,980
they're still in a boat through there's

2049
01:32:52,129 --> 01:32:49,080
a little bit

2050
01:32:54,590 --> 01:32:52,139
yeah and after uh after these

2051
01:32:56,030 --> 01:32:54,600
connection lines are removed we'll be

2052
01:32:58,070 --> 01:32:56,040
looking forward to hatch opening of

2053
01:33:00,649 --> 01:32:58,080
course we have to move the dragon to

2054
01:33:03,770 --> 01:33:00,659
that egress platform first but Dragon

2055
01:33:06,649 --> 01:33:03,780
will stay in this hatch or in this Nest

2056
01:33:08,990 --> 01:33:06,659
I should say until

2057
01:33:11,270 --> 01:33:09,000
uh it returns to Port so while the

2058
01:33:13,250 --> 01:33:11,280
astronauts will be flown back to Earth

2059
01:33:15,950 --> 01:33:13,260
or they're on Earth but once they are

2060
01:33:17,629 --> 01:33:15,960
flown back to Solid Ground tonight it

2061
01:33:20,209 --> 01:33:17,639
does take a little bit of a journey for

2062
01:33:21,410 --> 01:33:20,219
the spacecraft itself to make it back to

2063
01:33:24,530 --> 01:33:21,420
port and it's going to remain in that

2064
01:33:29,870 --> 01:33:27,229
so following along with the recovery

2065
01:33:32,330 --> 01:33:29,880
procedures we're looking at roughly five

2066
01:33:34,310 --> 01:33:32,340
five to six minutes until we get that

2067
01:33:36,590 --> 01:33:34,320
side hatch open

2068
01:33:37,310 --> 01:33:36,600
um once again assuming that

2069
01:33:41,030 --> 01:33:37,320
um

2070
01:33:43,010 --> 01:33:41,040
the all the checkouts of course the uh

2071
01:33:47,030 --> 01:33:43,020
the the capsule the Dragon capsule

2072
01:33:48,950 --> 01:33:47,040
itself is equalizing the pressure inside

2073
01:33:51,649 --> 01:33:48,960
to match

2074
01:33:53,090 --> 01:33:51,659
the pressure outside as well

2075
01:33:54,950 --> 01:33:53,100
um

2076
01:33:57,110 --> 01:33:54,960
and ultimately the crew is just

2077
01:33:59,450 --> 01:33:57,120
continuing to monitor the progress

2078
01:34:02,030 --> 01:33:59,460
they're using those screens in front of

2079
01:34:04,129 --> 01:34:02,040
them but they remain comfortable in

2080
01:34:06,470 --> 01:34:04,139
their seats we continue to flow that

2081
01:34:08,270 --> 01:34:06,480
nitrox air through the suits in order to

2082
01:34:10,070 --> 01:34:08,280
keep them comfortable

2083
01:34:12,530 --> 01:34:10,080
um of course I always like to say that

2084
01:34:15,410 --> 01:34:12,540
that air is the same stuff that scuba

2085
01:34:17,870 --> 01:34:15,420
divers use to uh you know in their

2086
01:34:19,490 --> 01:34:17,880
breathing equipment so that cooled air

2087
01:34:22,129 --> 01:34:19,500
is certainly

2088
01:34:24,050 --> 01:34:22,139
um an additional piece of comfort for

2089
01:34:26,030 --> 01:34:24,060
the crew during this this process

2090
01:34:28,729 --> 01:34:26,040
because as we said before right now

2091
01:34:32,450 --> 01:34:28,739
there's nothing for them to do but uh

2092
01:34:35,450 --> 01:34:32,460
patiently wait for the for that uh for

2093
01:34:38,270 --> 01:34:35,460
the translation of the Dragon capsule

2094
01:34:40,490 --> 01:34:38,280
into that four more forward position as

2095
01:34:44,689 --> 01:34:40,500
Leo was talking about where we will be

2096
01:34:48,590 --> 01:34:46,610
and again obviously we've got Dragon

2097
01:34:50,510 --> 01:34:48,600
Endurance on the left and that view on

2098
01:34:52,550 --> 01:34:50,520
the right coming from inside the

2099
01:34:55,790 --> 01:34:52,560
spacecraft itself

2100
01:34:58,550 --> 01:34:55,800
our four crew five members

2101
01:35:00,290 --> 01:34:58,560
as you mentioned patiently waiting no

2102
01:35:03,590 --> 01:35:00,300
action on their part

2103
01:35:05,810 --> 01:35:03,600
just continuing to Monitor and as they

2104
01:35:07,490 --> 01:35:05,820
are now aboard recovery vessel Shannon

2105
01:35:09,470 --> 01:35:07,500
like I said this is named Dr Shannon

2106
01:35:11,689 --> 01:35:09,480
Walker NASA astronaut who flew on the

2107
01:35:14,990 --> 01:35:11,699
crew One mission there's also another

2108
01:35:30,709 --> 01:35:15,000
SpaceX recovery ship named Megan after

2109
01:35:37,729 --> 01:35:33,709
so once again we're standing by for the

2110
01:35:40,910 --> 01:35:37,739
capsule for that forward translation to

2111
01:35:43,370 --> 01:35:40,920
the egress platform which is where we

2112
01:35:48,709 --> 01:35:43,380
will be able to open Dragon side hatch

2113
01:35:52,430 --> 01:35:50,629
and as we've mentioned tonight the crew

2114
01:35:54,649 --> 01:35:52,440
will board a helicopter that lands on

2115
01:35:57,770 --> 01:35:54,659
that helipad where Chelsea was talking

2116
01:35:59,530 --> 01:35:57,780
about watching Splashdown from they will

2117
01:36:03,050 --> 01:35:59,540
be transported back to shore tonight

2118
01:36:05,030 --> 01:36:03,060
additionally along with them there will

2119
01:36:08,330 --> 01:36:05,040
be a couple of more helicopters that

2120
01:36:10,550 --> 01:36:08,340
take off and take some of the additional

2121
01:36:12,610 --> 01:36:10,560
visiting Personnel including Chelsea who

2122
01:36:15,110 --> 01:36:12,620
gave us the report from the boat

2123
01:36:19,330 --> 01:36:15,120
and not only people but they're also

2124
01:36:22,669 --> 01:36:19,340
taking some time critical science some

2125
01:36:25,550 --> 01:36:22,679
samples from the astronauts themselves

2126
01:36:28,189 --> 01:36:25,560
they'll return those extremely quickly

2127
01:36:30,890 --> 01:36:28,199
to the scientists on Earth and there we

2128
01:36:34,790 --> 01:36:30,900
can see that Dragon endurance is now

2129
01:36:37,370 --> 01:36:34,800
making its way to the egress platform

2130
01:36:42,110 --> 01:36:37,380
with that forward translation of the

2131
01:36:46,490 --> 01:36:43,850
slow and steady but this is the last

2132
01:36:53,990 --> 01:36:46,500
major move for Dragon after this we will

2133
01:36:58,070 --> 01:36:55,729
there you can see that platform I've

2134
01:36:59,390 --> 01:36:58,080
been discussing uh just behind it is a

2135
01:37:01,970 --> 01:36:59,400
little hallway there's some medical

2136
01:37:05,530 --> 01:37:01,980
checkout rooms for the crew members to

2137
01:37:08,629 --> 01:37:05,540
get those as I mentioned very uh nominal

2138
01:37:11,030 --> 01:37:08,639
uh and very planned medical checkouts

2139
01:37:13,729 --> 01:37:11,040
now that they're back on Earth

2140
01:37:18,229 --> 01:37:13,739
we were able to see the recovery team

2141
01:37:21,169 --> 01:37:18,239
hosing the capsule down we're using

2142
01:37:23,990 --> 01:37:21,179
fresh water to do that of course to help

2143
01:37:26,330 --> 01:37:24,000
minimize any corrosion to the capsule as

2144
01:37:28,870 --> 01:37:26,340
we do reuse these so basically just

2145
01:37:32,330 --> 01:37:28,880
trying to give it a freshwater bath

2146
01:37:35,330 --> 01:37:32,340
as it is on the deck we're also able to

2147
01:37:38,390 --> 01:37:35,340
see that the recovery team on the

2148
01:37:41,030 --> 01:37:38,400
platform has their personal respirators

2149
01:37:45,169 --> 01:37:41,040
or breathers they are going to do an

2150
01:37:48,169 --> 01:37:45,179
additional hyper Gull sweep that is to

2151
01:37:53,330 --> 01:37:48,179
uh basically triple check that there are

2152
01:37:55,790 --> 01:37:53,340
no fumes for the mmh or nto that

2153
01:37:58,729 --> 01:37:55,800
monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen

2154
01:38:01,669 --> 01:37:58,739
tetroxide those are the propellants that

2155
01:38:06,110 --> 01:38:01,679
are on board the Dragon capsule for its

2156
01:38:08,570 --> 01:38:06,120
on orbit propulsion system and they are

2157
01:38:10,729 --> 01:38:08,580
not fumes that are you're able to

2158
01:38:13,250 --> 01:38:10,739
breathe they're quite toxic to people so

2159
01:38:21,470 --> 01:38:13,260
we'll see them perform an additional

2160
01:38:26,570 --> 01:38:23,930
so once we do open the hatch the first

2161
01:38:28,550 --> 01:38:26,580
smiling face that Nicole joshuichi and

2162
01:38:31,070 --> 01:38:28,560
Anna will see will be a SpaceX medical

2163
01:38:33,890 --> 01:38:31,080
doctor just to check on them ready to

2164
01:38:35,930 --> 01:38:33,900
see if they are ready for egress we hope

2165
01:38:38,270 --> 01:38:35,940
to get some views shortly thereafter of

2166
01:38:40,910 --> 01:38:38,280
our crew members and here is a great

2167
01:38:43,070 --> 01:38:40,920
view of the hatch itself again next

2168
01:38:46,669 --> 01:38:43,080
major Milestone will be for hatch open

2169
01:38:49,370 --> 01:38:46,679
absolutely so as we mentioned before uh

2170
01:38:51,290 --> 01:38:49,380
while dragon's top hatch is what is used

2171
01:38:53,450 --> 01:38:51,300
to connect to the space station or the

2172
01:38:55,189 --> 01:38:53,460
forward hatch the astronauts are going

2173
01:38:56,770 --> 01:38:55,199
to egress from that hatch right there

2174
01:38:59,870 --> 01:38:56,780
that's the side hatch

2175
01:39:03,470 --> 01:38:59,880
and before opening the hatch the

2176
01:39:05,870 --> 01:39:03,480
spacecraft's cabin pressure is equalized

2177
01:39:11,810 --> 01:39:05,880
with the outside environment then once

2178
01:39:17,330 --> 01:39:14,750
that will be the crew's first breath of

2179
01:39:19,370 --> 01:39:17,340
uh fresh Earthly air since boarding

2180
01:39:22,129 --> 01:39:19,380
Dragon at the start of their mission

2181
01:39:25,370 --> 01:39:22,139
back in October

2182
01:39:27,350 --> 01:39:25,380
now right here you can see uh SpaceX

2183
01:39:30,890 --> 01:39:27,360
crew members we also have some NASA crew

2184
01:39:32,030 --> 01:39:30,900
members on the spacecraft itself are on

2185
01:39:34,070 --> 01:39:32,040
the um

2186
01:39:35,530 --> 01:39:34,080
on the recovery ship itself they are on

2187
01:39:38,750 --> 01:39:35,540
the spacecraft too

2188
01:39:41,930 --> 01:39:38,760
but uh letting these SpaceX teams take

2189
01:39:43,910 --> 01:39:41,940
care of preparing Dragon for hatch open

2190
01:39:46,010 --> 01:39:43,920
and once that happens it's important to

2191
01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:46,020
note again Nicole joshuichi and Anna

2192
01:39:49,310 --> 01:39:47,760
will be getting that assistance from the

2193
01:39:52,129 --> 01:39:49,320
recovery teams when they're exiting the

2194
01:39:53,870 --> 01:39:52,139
capsule it is the same process for any

2195
01:39:55,610 --> 01:39:53,880
returning long duration crew members

2196
01:39:58,610 --> 01:39:55,620
because returning to a gravity

2197
01:39:59,990 --> 01:39:58,620
environment can challenge our vestibular

2198
01:40:02,090 --> 01:40:00,000
system that's responsible for

2199
01:40:03,649 --> 01:40:02,100
maintaining our balance and motion and

2200
01:40:05,629 --> 01:40:03,659
of course safety is always the number

2201
01:40:08,149 --> 01:40:05,639
one priority with this operation so

2202
01:40:10,250 --> 01:40:08,159
you'll see Nicole Josh koichi and Anna

2203
01:40:11,870 --> 01:40:10,260
helped out of the capsule assisted a few

2204
01:40:13,430 --> 01:40:11,880
feet to the medical corridors aboard the

2205
01:40:15,669 --> 01:40:13,440
boat and if you've ever watched Cruise

2206
01:40:18,950 --> 01:40:15,679
return on a soyuz or even previously

2207
01:40:21,050 --> 01:40:18,960
with dragon this is the same process as

2208
01:40:23,570 --> 01:40:21,060
when they are carried from the capsule

2209
01:40:25,070 --> 01:40:23,580
to waiting chairs and then for in the

2210
01:40:26,270 --> 01:40:25,080
case of a soyuz there's a waiting

2211
01:40:28,490 --> 01:40:26,280
medical tent

2212
01:40:29,990 --> 01:40:28,500
and then as I mentioned earlier this is

2213
01:40:32,330 --> 01:40:30,000
also the time period where that time

2214
01:40:34,370 --> 01:40:32,340
critical cargo can be recovered from the

2215
01:40:35,750 --> 01:40:34,380
spacecraft with the remainder waiting

2216
01:40:38,149 --> 01:40:35,760
until the ship is back and forth but

2217
01:40:40,370 --> 01:40:38,159
some of those cold stowage items they're

2218
01:40:43,250 --> 01:40:40,380
able to get that back to the

2219
01:40:45,410 --> 01:40:43,260
investigators and the researchers as

2220
01:40:47,510 --> 01:40:45,420
soon as tonight they're able to analyze

2221
01:40:49,370 --> 01:40:47,520
that and then once the ship and the

2222
01:40:50,870 --> 01:40:49,380
capsule return the recovery team will

2223
01:40:53,629 --> 01:40:50,880
perform some additional inspections

2224
01:40:55,610 --> 01:40:53,639
before loading Dragon onto a flatbed

2225
01:40:58,070 --> 01:40:55,620
truck at the SpaceX facility in Cape

2226
01:41:03,770 --> 01:40:58,080
Canaveral for post processing and of

2227
01:41:09,169 --> 01:41:05,930
so we're about five or six minutes away

2228
01:41:12,890 --> 01:41:09,179
from crew egress

2229
01:41:15,890 --> 01:41:12,900
we can see that the personal protective

2230
01:41:17,810 --> 01:41:15,900
equipment Dragon stand by for a side

2231
01:41:20,930 --> 01:41:17,820
hatch opening and approximately the next

2232
01:41:20,940 --> 01:41:25,729
we're looking at Rick right now

2233
01:41:32,810 --> 01:41:29,629
so we can see that those uh

2234
01:41:36,590 --> 01:41:32,820
and there it is side hatch open

2235
01:41:39,050 --> 01:41:36,600
on Dragon endurance

2236
01:41:41,689 --> 01:41:39,060
first time since it was closed last

2237
01:41:43,070 --> 01:41:41,699
October sending these four crew members

2238
01:41:45,470 --> 01:41:43,080
on their Journey to the International

2239
01:41:46,910 --> 01:41:45,480
Space Station and in that view on the

2240
01:41:49,250 --> 01:41:46,920
right you can see that SpaceX medical

2241
01:41:51,290 --> 01:41:49,260
doctor getting that first check making

2242
01:41:54,590 --> 01:41:51,300
sure everyone is feeling all right back

2243
01:41:56,330 --> 01:41:54,600
here on planet Earth before we begin uh

2244
01:41:58,430 --> 01:41:56,340
helping those crew members out of the

2245
01:42:00,350 --> 01:41:58,440
capsule on the left hand side of the

2246
01:42:03,290 --> 01:42:00,360
screen we can see the recovery team

2247
01:42:06,290 --> 01:42:03,300
members placing a protective frame

2248
01:42:09,229 --> 01:42:06,300
around the interior of the hatch as I

2249
01:42:11,629 --> 01:42:09,239
mentioned before of course we reuse our

2250
01:42:13,729 --> 01:42:11,639
Dragon capsules and so really to

2251
01:42:16,250 --> 01:42:13,739
preserve the Integrity of that hatch

2252
01:42:19,189 --> 01:42:16,260
which of course is important we put some

2253
01:42:21,950 --> 01:42:19,199
protective framing around there to help

2254
01:42:24,770 --> 01:42:21,960
us help make sure that there is no

2255
01:42:27,410 --> 01:42:24,780
damage incurred to the side hatch as the

2256
01:42:32,209 --> 01:42:27,420
the as the crew members are exiting or

2257
01:42:36,050 --> 01:42:34,850
still able to get some uh some notes

2258
01:42:38,510 --> 01:42:36,060
from Chelsea she said there's a big

2259
01:42:41,990 --> 01:42:38,520
round of applause on the recovery vessel

2260
01:42:46,310 --> 01:42:44,629
a really great moment

2261
01:42:49,250 --> 01:42:46,320
really signifies the end of the

2262
01:42:53,810 --> 01:42:52,070
so as we mentioned before that the the

2263
01:42:55,370 --> 01:42:53,820
individual that you see there on the

2264
01:42:57,890 --> 01:42:55,380
right hand side of your screen between

2265
01:42:59,990 --> 01:42:57,900
uh pilot Josh cassida and Commander

2266
01:43:03,229 --> 01:43:00,000
Nicole Mann that is the SpaceX medical

2267
01:43:05,090 --> 01:43:03,239
doctor always the first person to pop in

2268
01:43:07,609 --> 01:43:05,100
um basically just looking for four

2269
01:43:09,350 --> 01:43:07,619
thumbs up from the crew members to

2270
01:43:16,250 --> 01:43:09,360
indicate that they're feeling all right

2271
01:43:20,930 --> 01:43:18,709
I'll also get a chance for one of the

2272
01:43:23,930 --> 01:43:20,940
photographers we do have photographers

2273
01:43:26,689 --> 01:43:23,940
on the recovery ship as well that are

2274
01:43:27,709 --> 01:43:26,699
able to document the Splashdown itself

2275
01:43:31,010 --> 01:43:27,719
so

2276
01:43:32,149 --> 01:43:31,020
um oh as I mentioned going to get that

2277
01:43:37,669 --> 01:43:32,159
shot

2278
01:43:45,590 --> 01:43:40,570
I'm sure they're using a wide angle lens

2279
01:43:49,790 --> 01:43:48,350
smiling faces and

2280
01:43:52,609 --> 01:43:49,800
the other thing you can note there on

2281
01:43:55,910 --> 01:43:52,619
the exterior of the Dragon capsule is

2282
01:43:59,090 --> 01:43:55,920
the the evidence of re-entry you can see

2283
01:44:02,030 --> 01:43:59,100
there with some slight Scorch marks on

2284
01:44:04,729 --> 01:44:02,040
the thermal protective system there it

2285
01:44:07,910 --> 01:44:04,739
was a very pristine white uh on launch

2286
01:44:09,109 --> 01:44:07,920
day and within the last hour

2287
01:44:11,209 --> 01:44:09,119
um of course it re-entered the

2288
01:44:12,709 --> 01:44:11,219
atmosphere and splashed down and we can

2289
01:44:15,290 --> 01:44:12,719
see that evidence there on the exterior

2290
01:44:17,209 --> 01:44:15,300
of the capsule

2291
01:44:19,970 --> 01:44:17,219
yeah the heat shield obviously did a

2292
01:44:22,010 --> 01:44:19,980
great job bringing back our crew members

2293
01:44:24,290 --> 01:44:22,020
safely and this is the second flight for

2294
01:44:28,209 --> 01:44:24,300
this capsule so there is the opportunity

2295
01:44:32,090 --> 01:44:28,219
for it to be taken back and uh

2296
01:44:34,609 --> 01:44:32,100
refurbished or polished up prepared for

2297
01:44:36,830 --> 01:44:34,619
another future flight

2298
01:44:40,729 --> 01:44:36,840
so for those of you just recently joined

2299
01:44:43,910 --> 01:44:40,739
the crew is uh the crew 5 astronauts and

2300
01:44:46,129 --> 01:44:43,920
Cosmonaut are now on board the recovery

2301
01:44:48,890 --> 01:44:46,139
vessel and we are awaiting their egress

2302
01:44:50,649 --> 01:44:48,900
from Dragon endurance

2303
01:44:54,470 --> 01:44:50,659
they will come out one at a time

2304
01:44:57,709 --> 01:44:54,480
assisted by the recovery team members as

2305
01:45:01,490 --> 01:44:57,719
you can imagine after spending uh 157

2306
01:45:03,709 --> 01:45:01,500
days in space gravity might not feel uh

2307
01:45:05,990 --> 01:45:03,719
super awesome right now and so we will

2308
01:45:09,410 --> 01:45:06,000
assist them just to make sure that they

2309
01:45:11,330 --> 01:45:09,420
are safe making their first uh first

2310
01:45:13,550 --> 01:45:11,340
motions back on Earth

2311
01:45:15,530 --> 01:45:13,560
you can see them passing out of the

2312
01:45:17,689 --> 01:45:15,540
capsule those are the tablets that we

2313
01:45:19,910 --> 01:45:17,699
noticed earlier the crew members wear

2314
01:45:23,450 --> 01:45:19,920
around their upper thigh they're able to

2315
01:45:25,070 --> 01:45:23,460
monitor procedures on those tablets so

2316
01:45:26,450 --> 01:45:25,080
they're starting to pass those out of

2317
01:45:28,129 --> 01:45:26,460
the hatch I think I've seen all four

2318
01:45:31,310 --> 01:45:28,139
come through and that was a foot rest

2319
01:45:33,890 --> 01:45:31,320
those can be detached obviously here on

2320
01:45:36,050 --> 01:45:33,900
Earth or whether on orbit to have a

2321
01:45:38,149 --> 01:45:36,060
little bit more space in the capsule so

2322
01:45:42,290 --> 01:45:38,159
they'll remove those four foot rests to

2323
01:45:44,770 --> 01:45:42,300
allow teams to more easily enter dragon

2324
01:45:50,149 --> 01:45:44,780
and help these crew members

2325
01:45:56,290 --> 01:45:52,310
again this view here in Mission Control

2326
01:45:59,149 --> 01:45:56,300
in Hawthorne California teams at SpaceX

2327
01:46:22,609 --> 01:45:59,159
monitoring the return and arrival of

2328
01:46:26,689 --> 01:46:25,070
coming up on about 45 minutes since

2329
01:46:30,350 --> 01:46:26,699
Splashdown tonight

2330
01:46:34,370 --> 01:46:32,090
crew members are being prepared for

2331
01:46:35,870 --> 01:46:34,380
egress

2332
01:46:46,609 --> 01:46:35,880
everything has moved really smoothly

2333
01:46:53,050 --> 01:46:49,149
once again that is a view

2334
01:46:56,629 --> 01:46:53,060
looking toward the side hatch that view

2335
01:47:00,229 --> 01:46:56,639
has Commander Nicole Mann on the left

2336
01:47:09,350 --> 01:47:00,239
hand side and pilot Josh cassida on the

2337
01:47:14,090 --> 01:47:11,750
so they're most likely debriefing the

2338
01:47:16,430 --> 01:47:14,100
crew members on

2339
01:47:19,850 --> 01:47:16,440
um you know what to expect the next the

2340
01:47:22,070 --> 01:47:19,860
next steps for their next steps and

2341
01:47:23,990 --> 01:47:22,080
helping them get out of their seat belts

2342
01:47:26,030 --> 01:47:24,000
just making things easier for that

2343
01:47:28,490 --> 01:47:26,040
egress we saw those foot restraints or

2344
01:47:30,709 --> 01:47:28,500
the the foot rests were removed from the

2345
01:47:32,330 --> 01:47:30,719
spacecraft so just making things easier

2346
01:47:34,850 --> 01:47:32,340
for our crew members as you can see

2347
01:47:36,410 --> 01:47:34,860
their visors are up they are hopefully

2348
01:47:38,689 --> 01:47:36,420
pretty comfortable in those custom

2349
01:47:47,209 --> 01:47:38,699
fitted suits as well as those seat

2350
01:47:51,229 --> 01:47:50,270
again these are SpaceX team members it

2351
01:47:54,290 --> 01:47:51,239
helps

2352
01:47:56,209 --> 01:47:54,300
distinguish due to the different colored

2353
01:47:57,950 --> 01:47:56,219
uh flight seats they're wearing so

2354
01:47:59,930 --> 01:47:57,960
they're wearing black suits and

2355
01:48:03,530 --> 01:47:59,940
typically when you see someone in a

2356
01:48:05,810 --> 01:48:03,540
royal blue suit that is a NASA team

2357
01:48:07,430 --> 01:48:05,820
member so we saw a couple of those from

2358
01:48:10,490 --> 01:48:07,440
the other view but right now this is

2359
01:48:12,950 --> 01:48:10,500
mainly the SpaceX crew inside Dragon

2360
01:48:15,709 --> 01:48:12,960
helping the oh and there's a few of

2361
01:48:17,570 --> 01:48:15,719
those uh NASA team members as we

2362
01:48:19,310 --> 01:48:17,580
mentioned

2363
01:48:22,189 --> 01:48:19,320
that's a great shot because you can

2364
01:48:23,750 --> 01:48:22,199
really see that scorching on the thermal

2365
01:48:26,590 --> 01:48:23,760
protection system as I was talking about

2366
01:48:30,070 --> 01:48:26,600
earlier that evidence of re-entry

2367
01:48:34,970 --> 01:48:30,080
the exterior of the capsule got up to

2368
01:48:38,330 --> 01:48:34,980
3500 degrees Fahrenheit and it's I think

2369
01:48:40,550 --> 01:48:38,340
it's quite beautiful to see uh returned

2370
01:48:42,350 --> 01:48:40,560
capsules of course because

2371
01:48:45,290 --> 01:48:42,360
um you know it's just that evidence of

2372
01:48:54,770 --> 01:48:45,300
of space flight and success absolutely

2373
01:48:59,390 --> 01:48:57,050
and just a reminder of course once these

2374
01:49:02,209 --> 01:48:59,400
astronauts are helped out of the capsule

2375
01:49:05,750 --> 01:49:02,219
we'll see them being placed likely on

2376
01:49:09,890 --> 01:49:05,760
stretchers again helping them regain

2377
01:49:13,810 --> 01:49:11,689
they'll then move into those routine

2378
01:49:17,030 --> 01:49:13,820
medical checks those happen on the boat

2379
01:49:20,570 --> 01:49:17,040
and shortly after those they will board

2380
01:49:28,370 --> 01:49:20,580
a ready and waiting helicopter to head

2381
01:49:34,129 --> 01:49:30,669
once I come back to

2382
01:49:35,870 --> 01:49:34,139
Florida there will be a NASA spacecraft

2383
01:49:37,490 --> 01:49:35,880
waiting for them to bring them back to

2384
01:49:59,149 --> 01:49:37,500
Houston they'll be able to reunite with

2385
01:50:03,590 --> 01:50:01,310
and it looks like our egress is

2386
01:50:04,970 --> 01:50:03,600
beginning with NASA astronaut Josh

2387
01:50:06,950 --> 01:50:04,980
cassida

2388
01:50:10,430 --> 01:50:06,960
pilot of

2389
01:50:13,090 --> 01:50:10,440
Dragon Endurance on crew 5.

2390
01:50:27,890 --> 01:50:13,100
his first space site coming home with

2391
01:50:33,709 --> 01:50:30,229
I believe there is a

2392
01:50:36,770 --> 01:50:33,719
um almost like a little slide

2393
01:50:39,050 --> 01:50:36,780
um that is secured to the exterior of

2394
01:50:41,510 --> 01:50:39,060
the capsule and to the egress deck

2395
01:50:43,430 --> 01:50:41,520
basically to to bridge that Gap yeah we

2396
01:50:46,370 --> 01:50:43,440
could see Josh

2397
01:50:48,830 --> 01:50:46,380
um sliding out of the frame there

2398
01:50:51,890 --> 01:50:48,840
and that really just helps them

2399
01:50:54,050 --> 01:50:51,900
um get out of the capsule not only from

2400
01:50:56,450 --> 01:50:54,060
the standpoint of making it easier on

2401
01:50:59,390 --> 01:50:56,460
them but also preserving

2402
01:51:08,450 --> 01:50:59,400
um the the hardware the around that the

2403
01:51:14,149 --> 01:51:11,030
of course all those buttons that we see

2404
01:51:17,270 --> 01:51:14,159
there on the crew displays are all now

2405
01:51:20,770 --> 01:51:17,280
completely deactivated now that the

2406
01:51:25,370 --> 01:51:20,780
Dragon capsule is recovered and and

2407
01:51:30,830 --> 01:51:28,370
so even if somebody were to bump one

2408
01:51:43,790 --> 01:51:30,840
with their elbow or their head nothing

2409
01:51:49,010 --> 01:51:46,790
so Josh Casada NASA astronaut our first

2410
01:51:50,570 --> 01:51:49,020
crew member out of the spacecraft looks

2411
01:51:53,990 --> 01:51:50,580
like those SpaceX team members are back

2412
01:51:56,750 --> 01:51:54,000
inside Dragon endurance and uh they are

2413
01:51:58,609 --> 01:51:56,760
helping

2414
01:52:00,169 --> 01:51:58,619
I doubt we'll hear any more of those

2415
01:52:01,790 --> 01:52:00,179
those calls from the crew to the ground

2416
01:52:04,250 --> 01:52:01,800
now that the patch is open but every

2417
01:52:06,830 --> 01:52:04,260
time I hear it I pause a little bit I if

2418
01:52:08,510 --> 01:52:06,840
I had to guess that was probably that

2419
01:52:12,229 --> 01:52:08,520
recovery team member accidentally

2420
01:52:14,629 --> 01:52:12,239
bumping the armrest calm panel

2421
01:52:18,350 --> 01:52:14,639
um which is the comp panel that they use

2422
01:52:19,970 --> 01:52:18,360
to basically push to talk while they're

2423
01:52:23,149 --> 01:52:19,980
in their seeds

2424
01:52:27,050 --> 01:52:23,159
so if I had to guess that was a uh an

2425
01:52:32,510 --> 01:52:29,750
so it looks like the second individual

2426
01:52:36,109 --> 01:52:32,520
to egress from the Dragon capsule will

2427
01:52:46,070 --> 01:52:36,119
be Commander Nicole Mann

2428
01:52:55,609 --> 01:52:49,010
also 157 days for Nicole being that it

2429
01:53:01,669 --> 01:52:59,330
I would imagine for koichi who you

2430
01:53:03,950 --> 01:53:01,679
mentioned earlier has you'll have to

2431
01:53:07,790 --> 01:53:03,960
refresh my memory over 500 days now

2432
01:53:11,450 --> 01:53:07,800
large in space yes uh exactly 505. there

2433
01:53:14,810 --> 01:53:11,460
we go so I imagine this part is

2434
01:53:17,930 --> 01:53:14,820
never easy but he's very familiar knows

2435
01:53:21,910 --> 01:53:17,940
what to expect in terms of the change in

2436
01:53:30,229 --> 01:53:26,689
commander of crew 5 Nicole Mann also

2437
01:53:31,850 --> 01:53:30,239
became the first Native American woman

2438
01:53:33,890 --> 01:53:31,860
to live on the International Space

2439
01:53:39,410 --> 01:53:33,900
Station so a real moment of Pride there

2440
01:53:44,330 --> 01:53:41,990
and you can see her being helped to

2441
01:53:47,209 --> 01:53:44,340
those medical quarters again all all

2442
01:53:48,649 --> 01:53:47,219
nominal all uh pre-planned checks just

2443
01:53:49,910 --> 01:53:48,659
an opportunity to make sure the crew is

2444
01:53:52,129 --> 01:53:49,920
feeling good before they take that

2445
01:53:55,070 --> 01:53:52,139
helicopter ride back to shore

2446
01:53:58,090 --> 01:53:55,080
exactly and as you mentioned earlier uh

2447
01:54:01,790 --> 01:53:58,100
all the crew members are effectively

2448
01:54:04,490 --> 01:54:01,800
placed on what basically looks like a

2449
01:54:07,669 --> 01:54:04,500
stretcher and that's just again really

2450
01:54:10,729 --> 01:54:07,679
to assist them because uh returning to

2451
01:54:13,310 --> 01:54:10,739
Earth after as we said before 157 days

2452
01:54:15,290 --> 01:54:13,320
in space can be pretty tough on the body

2453
01:54:17,870 --> 01:54:15,300
and of course in order to keep them safe

2454
01:54:20,890 --> 01:54:17,880
we want to assist them so all four of

2455
01:54:25,310 --> 01:54:20,900
the crew members are placed on

2456
01:54:27,830 --> 01:54:25,320
a a wheelie bed and roll back to those

2457
01:54:32,930 --> 01:54:27,840
medical quarters as you said for their

2458
01:54:35,990 --> 01:54:32,940
evaluations with the the flight doctors

2459
01:54:38,870 --> 01:54:36,000
so now our NASA astronauts are out of

2460
01:54:42,410 --> 01:54:38,880
the spacecraft we are awaiting egress of

2461
01:54:45,169 --> 01:54:42,420
Cosmos Cosmonaut on akikina her first

2462
01:54:48,470 --> 01:54:45,179
space flight and as we mentioned

2463
01:54:52,129 --> 01:54:48,480
seasoned veteran koichiwakata of the

2464
01:54:56,390 --> 01:54:52,139
Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency

2465
01:55:00,530 --> 01:54:58,490
yeah as I mentioned before that slide we

2466
01:55:03,830 --> 01:55:00,540
have a great view of that slide now

2467
01:55:06,109 --> 01:55:03,840
really helps the crew in this egress

2468
01:55:08,930 --> 01:55:06,119
procedure

2469
01:55:11,450 --> 01:55:08,940
now this is probably koichi uh judging

2470
01:55:23,149 --> 01:55:11,460
by I can see that Japanese flag on that

2471
01:55:27,950 --> 01:55:25,970
yeah I think you're right because uh it

2472
01:55:29,930 --> 01:55:27,960
looked like yeah that looks like koichi

2473
01:55:32,030 --> 01:55:29,940
it looks like they were

2474
01:55:36,050 --> 01:55:32,040
um pulling from seat one so yeah that

2475
01:55:36,060 --> 01:55:42,290
oh I can see it look at that smile

2476
01:55:42,300 --> 01:55:52,970
definitely not his first rodeo

2477
01:55:57,109 --> 01:55:54,709
that means our

2478
01:55:59,810 --> 01:55:57,119
last mission specialist and crew member

2479
01:56:01,669 --> 01:55:59,820
to egress today will be on a kikuna

2480
01:56:03,350 --> 01:56:01,679
in that far right seat we can still see

2481
01:56:05,169 --> 01:56:03,360
one of those SpaceX crew members inside

2482
01:56:07,729 --> 01:56:05,179
helping her

2483
01:56:23,930 --> 01:56:07,739
out of the

2484
01:56:28,790 --> 01:56:26,629
not even an hour since Splashdown and we

2485
01:56:30,129 --> 01:56:28,800
are almost having all four crew members

2486
01:56:32,689 --> 01:56:30,139
out of the spacecraft that's right

2487
01:56:36,830 --> 01:56:32,699
Splashdown occurred off the coast of

2488
01:56:43,310 --> 01:56:36,840
Tampa Florida at uh 902 PM eastern time

2489
01:56:47,390 --> 01:56:45,470
again we had great weather reports as we

2490
01:56:49,729 --> 01:56:47,400
prepared to splash down at Tampa and we

2491
01:56:53,510 --> 01:56:49,739
even got pretty good views of how calm

2492
01:56:55,330 --> 01:56:53,520
the uh the ocean appeared to be as the

2493
01:57:02,930 --> 01:56:55,340
crew members awaited

2494
01:57:08,629 --> 01:57:05,750
and for those that might be wondering

2495
01:57:12,229 --> 01:57:08,639
um the at the top of the capsule there

2496
01:57:14,930 --> 01:57:12,239
we uh there was a curved line that was

2497
01:57:18,109 --> 01:57:14,940
the line indicating where the nose cone

2498
01:57:21,050 --> 01:57:18,119
um was separated from the the primary

2499
01:57:27,109 --> 01:57:23,410
so it looks like on a kikuna

2500
01:57:30,290 --> 01:57:27,119
uh our Cosmonaut on board crew 5 is

2501
01:57:34,729 --> 01:57:30,300
about to make her way down the the fun

2502
01:57:37,070 --> 01:57:34,739
slide and egress Dragon endurance

2503
01:57:42,109 --> 01:57:37,080
which once again made its second

2504
01:57:48,229 --> 01:57:46,010
Miss Cosmos cosmonaut anakikina

2505
01:57:52,850 --> 01:57:48,239
our final crew member to egress tonight

2506
01:57:58,550 --> 01:57:55,490
she will also uh

2507
01:58:02,270 --> 01:57:58,560
have those same medical checks

2508
01:58:20,750 --> 01:58:02,280
before flying back to Russia look at

2509
01:58:26,209 --> 01:58:23,270
and that is all four of our crew members

2510
01:58:28,250 --> 01:58:26,219
uh now that Nicole Josh koichi and Anna

2511
01:58:30,290 --> 01:58:28,260
are safely back home on Earth and

2512
01:58:32,450 --> 01:58:30,300
getting checked out by the Medical Teams

2513
01:58:34,609 --> 01:58:32,460
we're going to wrap up our live coverage

2514
01:58:37,970 --> 01:58:34,619
of their return again this all kicked

2515
01:58:41,270 --> 01:58:37,980
off on October 5th 2022 October 5 for

2516
01:58:42,830 --> 01:58:41,280
crew 5. from historic launch pad 39a at

2517
01:58:45,350 --> 01:58:42,840
the Kennedy Space Center in Florida

2518
01:58:47,990 --> 01:58:45,360
after successful liftoff and separation

2519
01:58:49,850 --> 01:58:48,000
from Falcon 9 Nicole Josh koichi and

2520
01:58:52,010 --> 01:58:49,860
Anna made a 28-hour flight on board

2521
01:58:54,470 --> 01:58:52,020
Dragon 2 the International Space Station

2522
01:58:56,689 --> 01:58:54,480
since arriving at the space station they

2523
01:58:59,870 --> 01:58:56,699
sent spent nearly six months as members

2524
01:59:02,089 --> 01:58:59,880
of expedition 67 and 68 executing

2525
01:59:03,770 --> 01:59:02,099
science experiments spacewalks and

2526
01:59:06,290 --> 01:59:03,780
repairs while aboard the orbiting

2527
01:59:09,470 --> 01:59:06,300
Laboratory their journey home began

2528
01:59:11,930 --> 01:59:09,480
about 19 hours ago on March 10th when

2529
01:59:14,870 --> 01:59:11,940
they closed the side closed the forward

2530
01:59:17,030 --> 01:59:14,880
hatch to the Dragon capsule and undock

2531
01:59:19,910 --> 01:59:17,040
from the International Space Station at

2532
01:59:22,490 --> 01:59:19,920
11 20 PM Pacific time after four

2533
01:59:25,149 --> 01:59:22,500
successful departure Burns and a phasing

2534
01:59:27,830 --> 01:59:25,159
burn to line up their orbit Nicole

2535
01:59:30,290 --> 01:59:27,840
joshuichi and Anna rested for a few

2536
01:59:32,870 --> 01:59:30,300
hours before waking up and to prepare

2537
01:59:35,629 --> 01:59:32,880
for their re-entry we jettison dragons

2538
01:59:39,890 --> 01:59:35,639
trunk and performed our final on-orbit

2539
01:59:43,729 --> 01:59:39,900
maneuver the deorbit burn at 5 11 p.m

2540
01:59:46,490 --> 01:59:43,739
Pacific time to send the dragon on its

2541
01:59:48,530 --> 01:59:46,500
path home the spacecraft re-entered

2542
01:59:50,570 --> 01:59:48,540
Earth's atmosphere and slowed its

2543
01:59:52,910 --> 01:59:50,580
descent with successful deployments of

2544
01:59:55,250 --> 01:59:52,920
two drogue parachutes and four healthy

2545
01:59:58,010 --> 01:59:55,260
Mains with the final Splashdown

2546
02:00:01,850 --> 01:59:58,020
occurring off the coast of Florida at

2547
02:00:03,649 --> 02:00:01,860
