[Music]

2
00:05:23,539 --> 00:05:29,390
thank you

3
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:38,150
foreign

4
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:40,610
we are getting closer to a SpaceX launch

5
00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:42,720
of a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral

6
00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:45,360
space force station on that rocket Tempo

7
00:05:49,129 --> 00:05:47,039
which stands for the tropospheric

8
00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:49,139
emissions monitoring of pollution

9
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:51,240
I'm NASA's Anjali caring and NASA

10
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,320
partnered with the center for

11
00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:54,479
astrophysics Harvard and Smithsonian for

12
00:05:58,010 --> 00:05:56,460
the tempo Mission the tempo instrument

13
00:05:59,870 --> 00:05:58,020
will improve life on Earth by

14
00:06:03,290 --> 00:05:59,880
revolutionizing the way that scientists

15
00:06:06,830 --> 00:06:05,270
when the air around us gets full of

16
00:06:09,650 --> 00:06:06,840
harmful chemicals it can make breathing

17
00:06:10,969 --> 00:06:09,660
and living a lot harder to do one of the

18
00:06:13,249 --> 00:06:10,979
ways that we can keep our air clean is

19
00:06:15,469 --> 00:06:13,259
by keeping an eye on what's in it Tempo

20
00:06:17,450 --> 00:06:15,479
or the tropospheric emissions monitoring

21
00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:17,460
of pollution is a NASA satellite

22
00:06:21,230 --> 00:06:18,840
instrument that's going to help us do

23
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:21,240
just that from the top of the Intel sap

24
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:23,280
40e satellite the tempo instrument will

25
00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:25,080
be taking hourly data during all

26
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:27,000
daylight hours from a fixed orbit that

27
00:06:30,409 --> 00:06:28,800
allow us to see North America all the

28
00:06:31,790 --> 00:06:30,419
time that's really important because

29
00:06:33,529 --> 00:06:31,800
this will be the first satellite

30
00:06:35,570 --> 00:06:33,539
instrument to be taking these kinds of

31
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:35,580
measurements and all of that rich new

32
00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:36,900
data is going to help us to understand

33
00:06:40,909 --> 00:06:38,940
how different chemicals like waste from

34
00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:40,919
landfills or from car emissions or even

35
00:06:44,689 --> 00:06:42,840
the burning of coal affect the air

36
00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:44,699
quality that we breathe here in North

37
00:06:48,770 --> 00:06:46,800
America and Tempo won't be working long

38
00:06:50,749 --> 00:06:48,780
and will actually be working alongside

39
00:06:53,090 --> 00:06:50,759
your potentials for satellite instrument

40
00:06:55,610 --> 00:06:53,100
as well as South Korea's gem satellite

41
00:06:57,469 --> 00:06:55,620
instrument in addition to a number of

42
00:06:59,689 --> 00:06:57,479
Airborne science missions and ground

43
00:07:01,790 --> 00:06:59,699
monitors all coming together to give

44
00:07:04,249 --> 00:07:01,800
scientists a more complete picture of

45
00:07:07,249 --> 00:07:04,259
the impacts and sources of Your solution

46
00:07:09,469 --> 00:07:07,259
here on Earth

47
00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:09,479
I'm joined Now by division director of

48
00:07:13,969 --> 00:07:11,039
the earth science division for NASA

49
00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:13,979
Karen St Germain Karen it's so great to

50
00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:15,060
have you here and I know that you and

51
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,220
your team must be so excited for launch

52
00:07:22,010 --> 00:07:19,680
well thanks Angelique you know we've

53
00:07:23,930 --> 00:07:22,020
been working on tempo for years now and

54
00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:23,940
it is an absolute thrill to be here for

55
00:07:26,689 --> 00:07:25,020
the launch

56
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:26,699
it's great to have you here and could

57
00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:28,380
you tell me a little bit about what kind

58
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:30,180
of information we're actually hoping to

59
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:32,160
learn from this wide scale look at air

60
00:07:36,529 --> 00:07:33,599
quality the temple will be giving us

61
00:07:40,189 --> 00:07:36,539
sure well air pollution comes from many

62
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:40,199
sources from Automobiles and and trucks

63
00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:43,380
and cargo ships to power plants and

64
00:07:47,689 --> 00:07:45,060
factories to natural events like

65
00:07:50,689 --> 00:07:47,699
wildfires and volcanoes and when those

66
00:07:53,809 --> 00:07:50,699
pollutants chemicals and and particles

67
00:07:55,730 --> 00:07:53,819
get into the air they they change over

68
00:07:59,870 --> 00:07:55,740
time they move and their composition

69
00:08:02,749 --> 00:07:59,880
changes so with the ability to see these

70
00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:02,759
uh the atmospheric composition every

71
00:08:08,809 --> 00:08:06,539
hour we can understand how those changes

72
00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:08,819
happen over time and that's just going

73
00:08:12,770 --> 00:08:10,440
to give us a much better understanding

74
00:08:14,689 --> 00:08:12,780
of the life cycle of these pollutants

75
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:14,699
That's so exciting that we'll be able to

76
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:16,380
understand a little bit better how can

77
00:08:20,270 --> 00:08:18,240
that understanding in in all this new

78
00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:20,280
data help us to make better predictions

79
00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:22,979
about future air quality well it'll help

80
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,620
in two ways first it will give give us

81
00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:27,599
much better situational awareness when

82
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,479
an event is happening but also that

83
00:08:34,850 --> 00:08:32,640
understanding that we get from those

84
00:08:37,730 --> 00:08:34,860
repeated looks will be able to capture

85
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:37,740
that understanding in models that allow

86
00:08:42,170 --> 00:08:39,599
us to predict

87
00:08:44,269 --> 00:08:42,180
future conditions and that's really

88
00:08:46,370 --> 00:08:44,279
where we bring the power of NASA

89
00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:46,380
missions to bear on our operational

90
00:08:52,370 --> 00:08:50,339
agencies like EPA and NOAA in FEMA we

91
00:08:55,730 --> 00:08:52,380
can feed them that understanding those

92
00:08:58,910 --> 00:08:55,740
models and they then can turn that into

93
00:09:01,790 --> 00:08:58,920
more effective operations how exciting

94
00:09:03,650 --> 00:09:01,800
now speaking of different satellites I

95
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:03,660
know at the tail end of last year NASA

96
00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:04,860
actually launched a satellite that is

97
00:09:09,290 --> 00:09:06,959
able to measure all of Earth's water now

98
00:09:11,389 --> 00:09:09,300
that we will soon be able to measure air

99
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:11,399
quality all over North America do you

100
00:09:14,590 --> 00:09:12,480
think that there will be opportunities

101
00:09:17,329 --> 00:09:14,600
to use those data sources

102
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:17,339
absolutely you know Angelique the earth

103
00:09:21,050 --> 00:09:19,440
works as a system what happens in the

104
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,060
water is connected to what happens in

105
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:23,760
the atmosphere and on land so all of

106
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:25,140
these missions working together

107
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:27,120
observing different parts of the system

108
00:09:32,269 --> 00:09:29,580
give us that understanding about how the

109
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:32,279
whole system is evolving over time and

110
00:09:35,630 --> 00:09:34,080
so yeah we really look forward to

111
00:09:37,970 --> 00:09:35,640
Bringing together the data from these

112
00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:37,980
multiple systems how exciting thank you

113
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:39,720
so much Karen for taking some time to

114
00:09:43,490 --> 00:09:42,000
talk with us it's great to be here thank

115
00:09:45,230 --> 00:09:43,500
you

116
00:09:46,910 --> 00:09:45,240
now Temple will let scientists see

117
00:09:49,370 --> 00:09:46,920
emissions as they occur throughout the

118
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:49,380
day hour by hour instead of a single

119
00:09:53,389 --> 00:09:51,839
sampling researchers say that this is a

120
00:09:55,310 --> 00:09:53,399
major step forward in monitoring air

121
00:10:00,110 --> 00:09:55,320
quality

122
00:10:02,570 --> 00:10:00,120
really talking about the health of the

123
00:10:04,730 --> 00:10:02,580
population as it has to breathe the air

124
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:04,740
that that we need to live one of the

125
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:06,240
real difficulties in helping people

126
00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:08,160
understand that air quality is a problem

127
00:10:12,410 --> 00:10:10,800
is that on a beautiful day you may not

128
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,420
see evidence of poor air quality but

129
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:14,399
it's there you might be surprised to

130
00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:15,959
hear that the number of deaths in the

131
00:10:21,610 --> 00:10:18,600
United States per year attributed to air

132
00:10:24,350 --> 00:10:21,620
quality is estimated to be about 60 000.

133
00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:24,360
I'm Jim Crawford I'm a senior scientist

134
00:10:27,949 --> 00:10:25,920
here at nasalonia Research Center for

135
00:10:29,870 --> 00:10:27,959
atmospheric chemistry and my job as an

136
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:29,880
atmospheric chemist I work with a team

137
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:31,680
of scientists trying to study air

138
00:10:35,150 --> 00:10:33,120
quality in the atmosphere we do that

139
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:35,160
with research aircraft for a couple

140
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:37,380
decades now we've really benefited from

141
00:10:41,870 --> 00:10:39,600
space in terms of satellite observations

142
00:10:43,370 --> 00:10:41,880
very far but those observations have

143
00:10:45,410 --> 00:10:43,380
been from the low earth orbit where you

144
00:10:47,630 --> 00:10:45,420
get one look per day and you can imagine

145
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,640
that in terms of understanding a day in

146
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:49,440
the life of a city in terms of the early

147
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:50,760
emissions in the morning from rush hour

148
00:10:54,889 --> 00:10:52,620
and all the chemistry that takes place

149
00:10:56,329 --> 00:10:54,899
throughout the day a lot can happen that

150
00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,339
we need to understand what we're getting

151
00:11:01,250 --> 00:10:59,279
from Tempo is both that continuity and

152
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:01,260
the high resolution it's important to

153
00:11:04,610 --> 00:11:02,640
recognize that Tempo doesn't work alone

154
00:11:06,530 --> 00:11:04,620
it has to be integrated into what we

155
00:11:08,269 --> 00:11:06,540
call the observing system you have

156
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,279
ground monitors which you're measuring

157
00:11:12,290 --> 00:11:10,320
at the highest Precision what air

158
00:11:13,610 --> 00:11:12,300
quality conditions are you have Airborne

159
00:11:15,889 --> 00:11:13,620
measurements which can't be done

160
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:15,899
continuously but can bring into the

161
00:11:20,210 --> 00:11:18,360
picture great information about the

162
00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:20,220
complexity of the air quality conditions

163
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:22,260
and what's happening over above our head

164
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,880
which plays a role in what we breathe

165
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:25,920
down here when we talk about air quality

166
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:28,260
it's not a problem that you simply solve

167
00:11:33,050 --> 00:11:30,240
at One Moment In Time human activity

168
00:11:36,050 --> 00:11:33,060
changes over time populations shift

169
00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:36,060
Industries rise and fall we really need

170
00:11:41,449 --> 00:11:39,180
to be able to monitor how those things

171
00:11:43,850 --> 00:11:41,459
are changing because the air quality

172
00:11:44,990 --> 00:11:43,860
outcomes change in concert with the

173
00:11:47,569 --> 00:11:45,000
changes in what we put into the

174
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:47,579
atmosphere and so we don't need one look

175
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:49,560
we need to continuous looks to be able

176
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:52,500
to see and respond to what's happening

177
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:55,200
in terms of atmosphere and its response

178
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:01,610
this launch is happening during a busy

179
00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:03,899
week for NASA on Monday NASA revealed

180
00:12:15,130 --> 00:12:05,820
the moon crew four astronauts were

181
00:12:20,569 --> 00:12:18,350
your mission specialist Christina

182
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:20,579
hammock

183
00:12:30,530 --> 00:12:25,680
your mission specialist Jeremy Hansen

184
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:30,540
you're Artemis 2 pilot Victor Glover

185

your Artemis 2 Commander Reed Wiseman

186
00:12:41,090 --> 00:12:38,519
we're gonna hear the words go for launch

187
00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:41,100
on top of the most powerful rocket

188
00:12:46,250 --> 00:12:43,260
NASA's ever made the space launch system

189
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:46,260
these four astronauts will travel 600

190
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:48,000
000 miles around the Moon and back in

191
00:12:52,490 --> 00:12:49,980
the Orion capsule and we are going to

192
00:12:54,290 --> 00:12:52,500
the Moon together let's go

193
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:54,300
the Artemis 2 mission will Mark the

194
00:12:59,329 --> 00:12:56,160
first time humans are that close to the

195
00:13:01,310 --> 00:12:59,339
Moon in more than 50 years this is a

196
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:01,320
global effort Artemis 2 and it's only

197
00:13:06,170 --> 00:13:02,880
going to get larger with Artemis 3 and

198
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:06,180
Beyond so to the NASA Workforce we say a

199
00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:08,880
huge thank you it is the next step on

200
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:11,279
the journey that gets Humanity to Mars

201
00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:14,760
the Artemis 2 crew represents thousands

202
00:13:21,829 --> 00:13:17,519
of people working tirelessly to bring us

203
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:21,839
to the Stars this is their crew this is

204
00:13:27,889 --> 00:13:26,399
our crew this is Humanity's crew the

205
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:27,899
first group Artemis mission is set for

206
00:13:31,129 --> 00:13:28,760
2024.

207
00:13:35,889 --> 00:13:31,139
[Music]

208
00:13:40,730 --> 00:13:38,870
congratulations to our moon crew we

209
00:13:42,650 --> 00:13:40,740
can't wait to see you fly

210
00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:42,660
NASA scientists have been collecting air

211
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:44,220
pollution measurements for more than two

212
00:13:48,290 --> 00:13:46,560
decades from low earth orbit Tempo will

213
00:13:53,150 --> 00:13:48,300
take a look at three main pollutants

214
00:13:54,829 --> 00:13:53,160
nitrogen dioxide formaldehyde and ozone

215
00:13:57,230 --> 00:13:54,839
now we've been doing Satellites with

216
00:13:59,329 --> 00:13:57,240
colleagues for a number of years but

217
00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,339
this is the first one that has these

218
00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:01,680
special qualities no other Earth

219
00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:03,540
absorbing satellite has ever been

220
00:14:08,210 --> 00:14:06,060
designed to specifically measure ozone

221
00:14:09,710 --> 00:14:08,220
in the lowest atmosphere Tempo is

222
00:14:11,569 --> 00:14:09,720
something we've been working on for a

223
00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:11,579
number of years so we're very very

224
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:13,980
excited and we can't hardly wait until

225
00:14:18,769 --> 00:14:16,560
we get up and see what we can learn my

226
00:14:21,650 --> 00:14:18,779
name is Kelly chance I'm the principal

227
00:14:24,050 --> 00:14:21,660
investigator for Tempo open today NASA

228
00:14:26,329 --> 00:14:24,060
and Smithsonian space instrument is

229
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:26,339
going to launch this April and we will

230
00:14:31,009 --> 00:14:28,560
be measuring atmospheric pollution for

231
00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:31,019
greater North America every hour my

232
00:14:35,389 --> 00:14:33,600
first job is investigators to make these

233
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:35,399
instruments work so the data are

234
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,220
available to everyone again my research

235
00:14:42,889 --> 00:14:40,560
group and I will be doing all kinds of

236
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:42,899
scientific experiments learning in

237
00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:45,000
detail about where the pollution is and

238
00:14:49,310 --> 00:14:46,980
how it affects us and how hopefully

239
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:49,320
we've been predicted better and make it

240
00:14:57,050 --> 00:14:53,290
foreign

241
00:14:58,430 --> 00:14:57,060
is a grading UV visible spectrometer it

242
00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:58,440
sits on a commercial communication

243
00:15:04,430 --> 00:15:01,199
satellite called intelsat 40e that

244
00:15:07,009 --> 00:15:04,440
weighs 13 600 pounds that's the same as

245
00:15:08,689 --> 00:15:07,019
about 10 elephants the satellite has two

246
00:15:10,970 --> 00:15:08,699
Deployable solar arrays which combine

247
00:15:13,250 --> 00:15:10,980
measure 81 feet and that's almost the

248
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:13,260
length of a basketball court Tempo is

249
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:15,120
designed to monitor the same place all

250
00:15:19,490 --> 00:15:17,100
the time which is why it'll be in

251
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:19,500
geostationary orbit about 22 000 miles

252
00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:22,139
above earth's equator traveling 7000

253
00:15:26,810 --> 00:15:23,699
miles per hour

254
00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:26,820
now geostationary refers to where and

255
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:28,380
how the satellite will orbit the earth

256
00:15:32,269 --> 00:15:30,480
it will be placed above earth's equator

257
00:15:34,430 --> 00:15:32,279
with an orbital time matching Earth's

258
00:15:36,650 --> 00:15:34,440
rotation this way Tempo will be able to

259
00:15:41,509 --> 00:15:36,660
sweep the entire continent once every

260
00:15:45,470 --> 00:15:43,430
as we near launch let's learn more about

261
00:15:47,389 --> 00:15:45,480
how Tempo data will be used with Erica

262
00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:47,399
Wright our education specialist at

263
00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:49,800
Smithsonian astrophysical Observatory hi

264
00:15:53,329 --> 00:15:51,839
Erica hi Angelique it's so exciting to

265
00:15:55,009 --> 00:15:53,339
be here with you today for launch it's

266
00:15:56,449 --> 00:15:55,019
so exciting to have you here Erica could

267
00:15:58,610 --> 00:15:56,459
you can you tell us a little bit more

268
00:16:00,470 --> 00:15:58,620
about the different sources of pollution

269
00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:00,480
the tempo will be measuring absolutely

270
00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:03,120
so Tempo is going to measure a number of

271
00:16:08,110 --> 00:16:05,220
key air quality constituents that tell

272
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:08,120
us things about impacts on human health

273
00:16:12,949 --> 00:16:10,680
Agriculture and in our environment it's

274
00:16:15,290 --> 00:16:12,959
going to be things like nitrogen dioxide

275
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:15,300
things that our cars and other

276
00:16:19,850 --> 00:16:17,120
combustion engines put out

277
00:16:21,769 --> 00:16:19,860
formaldehyde these are categories of

278
00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:21,779
pollutants called volatile organic

279
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:23,279
compounds things that you might smell

280
00:16:28,490 --> 00:16:25,440
markers and paints and things like that

281
00:16:29,930 --> 00:16:28,500
as well as ozone which might be one that

282
00:16:31,069 --> 00:16:29,940
you know our listeners are thinking

283
00:16:32,930 --> 00:16:31,079
about

284
00:16:34,490 --> 00:16:32,940
um the ozone hole right A lot of people

285
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:34,500
think about the ozone hole and that's a

286
00:16:37,490 --> 00:16:35,880
good thing you want to close that in you

287
00:16:39,889 --> 00:16:37,500
want more ozone but down here on Earth

288
00:16:41,389 --> 00:16:39,899
it's actually a pollutant that when

289
00:16:44,030 --> 00:16:41,399
humans breathe in it can cause injury

290
00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:44,040
damage to both us and our environment so

291
00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:45,600
those are some of the things just some

292
00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:47,220
of the numbers of many pollutants that

293
00:16:49,730 --> 00:16:48,720
Tempo will be measuring there's

294
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:49,740
definitely a lot of pollutants and

295
00:16:53,210 --> 00:16:50,880
definitely a lot of information we're

296
00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:53,220
going to be getting can you tell me how

297
00:16:57,290 --> 00:16:55,199
the public will be able to access and

298
00:16:59,389 --> 00:16:57,300
learn from that information absolutely

299
00:17:02,930 --> 00:16:59,399
so Tempo data is going to be publicly

300
00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:02,940
available online for Via various NASA

301
00:17:06,590 --> 00:17:04,319
interfaces as well as Smithsonian

302
00:17:09,409 --> 00:17:06,600
interfaces so anybody can access it

303
00:17:10,490 --> 00:17:09,419
themselves which is really exciting that

304
00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:10,500
data is going to tell them things about

305
00:17:14,809 --> 00:17:12,720
their local backyard so they can look up

306
00:17:16,309 --> 00:17:14,819
what's happening outside today and maybe

307
00:17:18,110 --> 00:17:16,319
even make decisions do I want to go for

308
00:17:19,370 --> 00:17:18,120
a run today right is their quality a

309
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:19,380
little bad today maybe I'll stay inside

310
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:21,720
or work out inside so there's a lot of

311
00:17:26,270 --> 00:17:23,520
great local information that you can get

312
00:17:28,669 --> 00:17:26,280
from the tempo data and Erica who are

313
00:17:30,110 --> 00:17:28,679
some of the early adopters of tempo and

314
00:17:32,630 --> 00:17:30,120
how can they use this day-to-day

315
00:17:34,850 --> 00:17:32,640
information to actually decrease

316
00:17:36,650 --> 00:17:34,860
pollution in the future yeah so there's

317
00:17:39,470 --> 00:17:36,660
actually a whole community of tempo

318
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:39,480
early adopters over 300 individuals and

319
00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:41,460
organizations have signed on to be part

320
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:43,320
uh the tempo what's that early adopters

321
00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:44,940
program and learn about how to use that

322
00:17:49,549 --> 00:17:46,740
data right away and so those are state

323
00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:49,559
and local air quality Regulators those

324
00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:52,799
are Health researchers they're Community

325
00:17:55,970 --> 00:17:54,240
organizations

326
00:17:58,370 --> 00:17:55,980
um and non-profits that want to use the

327
00:18:00,830 --> 00:17:58,380
data uh to improve their local air

328
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:00,840
quality and study impacts on our human

329
00:18:04,610 --> 00:18:02,880
health and the environment that's so

330
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:04,620
incredibly exciting can't wait to see

331
00:18:07,610 --> 00:18:06,000
what's happening with all of that data

332
00:18:08,810 --> 00:18:07,620
thank you so much Erica for taking some

333
00:18:11,510 --> 00:18:08,820
time to talk with us about it thanks so

334
00:18:15,169 --> 00:18:13,490
in just a few moments launch coverage

335
00:18:17,210 --> 00:18:15,179
will continue with our friends at SpaceX

336
00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,220
in Hawthorne California as they walk us

337
00:19:03,590 --> 00:18:19,679
through terminal count live we'll see

338
00:19:08,330 --> 00:19:06,230
time launch from space launch complex 40

339
00:19:09,409 --> 00:19:08,340

359
00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:54,900
pollution or Tempo instrument operated

360
00:19:59,330 --> 00:19:57,360
by intelsat Tempo is a partnership

361
00:20:01,789 --> 00:19:59,340
between NASA and the Smithsonian

362
00:20:04,190 --> 00:20:01,799
institutions Smithsonian astrophysical

363
00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:04,200
Observatory and will improve life on

364
00:20:08,450 --> 00:20:05,880
Earth by revolutionizing the way

365
00:20:10,669 --> 00:20:08,460
scientists observe air quality it will

366
00:20:12,650 --> 00:20:10,679
also be the first space-based instrument

367
00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:12,660
to Monitor and track Air Pollution

368
00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:15,120
across North America on an hourly basis

369
00:20:20,029 --> 00:20:17,940
and Report observations during the day

370
00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:20,039
the satellite is scheduled to enter into

371
00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:22,380
service next month and Tempo will start

372
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:24,600
operations this summer here's a little

373
00:20:36,529 --> 00:20:33,730
[Music]

374
00:20:38,690 --> 00:20:36,539
Intel sat is Bridging the digital divide

375
00:20:40,549 --> 00:20:38,700
by operating one of the world's largest

376
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:40,559
satellite Fleet and connectivity

377
00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:42,960
infrastructures enabling people and

378
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:45,360
their tools to speak over oceans see

379
00:20:49,730 --> 00:20:47,520
across continents and listen through the

380
00:20:52,370 --> 00:20:49,740
skies to communicate cooperate and

381
00:20:54,830 --> 00:20:52,380
coexist with a history of Firsts in

382
00:20:56,570 --> 00:20:54,840
telecommunications intelsat team members

383
00:20:58,850 --> 00:20:56,580
are addressing a new generation of

384
00:21:01,730 --> 00:20:58,860
challenges

385
00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:01,740
is the latest addition for a field of 56

386
00:21:07,070 --> 00:21:04,140
geostationary satellites they will be

387
00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:07,080
operated at 91 West so over North

388
00:21:13,450 --> 00:21:10,559
America its primary mission is managed

389
00:21:16,669 --> 00:21:13,460
Mobility Services over North America

390
00:21:19,010 --> 00:21:16,679
Intel set is 40e satellite will provide

391
00:21:22,010 --> 00:21:19,020
focused coverage for many of intelsat's

392
00:21:23,570 --> 00:21:22,020
business units the ee stands for epic a

393
00:21:26,450 --> 00:21:23,580
high throughput satellite connecting

394
00:21:30,049 --> 00:21:26,460
customers in the air on the ground and

395
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:30,059
at Sea it means inside connectivity for

396
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:31,520
commercial airline passengers

397
00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:34,220
connectivity for people on business Jets

398
00:21:39,049 --> 00:21:37,200
connectivity for maritime users like

399
00:21:42,649 --> 00:21:39,059
people on cruise ship as well as

400
00:21:44,830 --> 00:21:42,659
Mobility for Disaster Recovery in

401
00:21:47,810 --> 00:21:44,840
addition to serving Intel sat customers

402
00:21:50,510 --> 00:21:47,820
is40e will host a NASA and Smithsonian

403
00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:50,520
payload called Tempo Intel sat will

404
00:21:54,289 --> 00:21:52,320
operate the instrument while it monitors

405
00:21:56,990 --> 00:21:54,299
and tracks air pollution across North

406
00:21:58,490 --> 00:21:57,000
America on an hourly basis with the

407
00:22:00,830 --> 00:21:58,500
ability to stay over a region of

408
00:22:04,010 --> 00:22:00,840
Interest during a natural disaster like

409
00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:04,020
a major fire or volcanic eruption this

410
00:22:08,210 --> 00:22:05,940
is going to be the first time that we

411
00:22:10,190 --> 00:22:08,220
have an instrument providing air quality

412
00:22:13,010 --> 00:22:10,200
measurement from the geostationary orbit

413
00:22:15,649 --> 00:22:13,020
it will allow to better understand the

414
00:22:19,130 --> 00:22:15,659
Dynamics of air quality over the large

415
00:22:23,450 --> 00:22:19,140
cities Intel sad's role is basically to

416
00:22:26,270 --> 00:22:23,460
provide the ground systems which enables

417
00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:26,280
the Smithsonian to send commands to the

418
00:22:33,169 --> 00:22:30,720
satellite and obtain measured data this

419
00:22:34,909 --> 00:22:33,179
measured data then is stored in our

420
00:22:38,330 --> 00:22:34,919
Riverside systems

421
00:22:48,110 --> 00:22:38,340
that will be accessed by the Smithsonian

422
00:22:52,490 --> 00:22:50,630
hi everyone I'm Ronnie foreman and I'm a

423
00:22:54,890 --> 00:22:52,500
commercial sales manager here at SpaceX

424
00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:54,900
I'm excited to join you and Kate to

425
00:22:59,570 --> 00:22:57,840
cover the is-40e mission tonight with

426
00:23:01,669 --> 00:22:59,580
liftoff just about seven minutes from

427
00:23:03,169 --> 00:23:01,679
now I want to talk to you first a little

428
00:23:05,090 --> 00:23:03,179
bit more about the Rockets supporting

429
00:23:07,549 --> 00:23:05,100
tonight's launch

430
00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:07,559
our Falcon 9 vehicle that you see on the

431
00:23:12,049 --> 00:23:10,080
pad is the two-stage rocket designed and

432
00:23:15,950 --> 00:23:12,059
manufactured by SpaceX

433
00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:15,960
standing 229 feet tall the Falcon 9 is

434
00:23:20,630 --> 00:23:18,000
about 40 feet taller than the Leaning

435
00:23:23,450 --> 00:23:20,640
Tower of Pisa in Italy and for all you

436
00:23:25,490 --> 00:23:23,460
Star Wars fans out there Falcon 9 was

437
00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:25,500
named after the Millennium Falcon from

438
00:23:29,390 --> 00:23:27,360
Star Wars

439
00:23:31,730 --> 00:23:29,400
the number nine indicates the number of

440
00:23:33,649 --> 00:23:31,740
Merlin 1D engines on the first stage

441
00:23:36,049 --> 00:23:33,659
which make up the bottom two-thirds of

442
00:23:38,149 --> 00:23:36,059
the vehicle

443
00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:38,159
speaking of the first stage its

444
00:23:41,690 --> 00:23:39,840
objective is to accelerate the vehicle

445
00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,700
through the Earth's atmosphere to space

446
00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:43,679
and then separate from the rest of the

447
00:23:48,890 --> 00:23:46,559
rocket this first stage also referred to

448
00:23:51,409 --> 00:23:48,900
as the booster is flying for the fourth

449
00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:51,419
time there you hear the call out that

450
00:23:56,029 --> 00:23:53,940
we've completed rp1 loading into the

451
00:23:58,190 --> 00:23:56,039
booster which again is for flying for

452
00:24:01,970 --> 00:23:58,200
the fourth time today it previously

453
00:24:04,850 --> 00:24:01,980
supported crs-26 one web launch 16 and a

454
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:07,010
we will attempt to recover this booster

455
00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:09,000
again on our drone ship a shortfall of

456
00:24:12,470 --> 00:24:10,799
Gravitas which is currently positioned

457
00:24:14,090 --> 00:24:12,480
in the Atlantic Ocean and you can see it

458
00:24:17,750 --> 00:24:14,100
on your screen now

459
00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:17,760
it's successful that will Mark our 184th

460
00:24:22,430 --> 00:24:19,679
Landing of an orbital class rocket

461
00:24:24,770 --> 00:24:22,440
including both Falcon 9 and Falcon heavy

462
00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:24,780
side boosters

463
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:27,360
moving on up above the first stage is

464
00:24:31,789 --> 00:24:29,100
the second stage which has a single

465
00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:31,799
Merlin vacuum or mvac engine that

466
00:24:36,289 --> 00:24:34,080
ignites after stage separation

467
00:24:39,230 --> 00:24:36,299
the second stage is what will carry the

468
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:39,240
Intel sat 40e and NASA Smithsonian Tempo

469
00:24:46,549 --> 00:24:44,450
speaking of the payload it's currently

470
00:24:48,230 --> 00:24:46,559
safely tucked inside the 17-foot

471
00:24:50,210 --> 00:24:48,240
diameter payload fairing that you see on

472
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:50,220
your screen now it's a large barrel

473
00:24:54,770 --> 00:24:52,320
structure with a pointed nose at the

474
00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:54,780
very top of the rocket made of carbon

475
00:24:58,669 --> 00:24:56,880
composite material the fairing protects

476
00:25:00,890 --> 00:24:58,679
the payload from Aero thermal heating

477
00:25:03,289 --> 00:25:00,900
and contamination on its trip to space

478
00:25:05,390 --> 00:25:03,299
before being jettisoned approximately

479
00:25:07,490 --> 00:25:05,400
three minutes into flight

480
00:25:08,990 --> 00:25:07,500
much like the first stage the fairing

481
00:25:11,270 --> 00:25:09,000
halves on today's flight are flight

482
00:25:15,230 --> 00:25:11,280
proven one half is flying for the second

483
00:25:18,049 --> 00:25:16,610
there you hear the call out that we're

484
00:25:20,390 --> 00:25:18,059
getting ready for strong back retract

485
00:25:22,370 --> 00:25:20,400
after separation those fairing halves

486
00:25:25,490 --> 00:25:22,380
will return to Earth to be recovered by

487
00:25:27,529 --> 00:25:25,500
our recovery vessel Doug

488
00:25:29,269 --> 00:25:27,539
and the large trust structure that you

489
00:25:31,130 --> 00:25:29,279
see next to Falcon 9 is what we were

490
00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:31,140
just talking about on the Nets that's

491
00:25:36,289 --> 00:25:33,600
the transporter erector or te for short

492
00:25:38,330 --> 00:25:36,299
we use it to roll the rocket out to the

493
00:25:41,810 --> 00:25:38,340
pad and raise it to its vertical launch

494
00:25:43,490 --> 00:25:41,820
position ahead of takeoff started

495
00:25:46,190 --> 00:25:43,500
the call out there says we're beginning

496
00:25:48,350 --> 00:25:46,200
to pull the te away from the vehicle the

497
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:48,360
CE also routes the vehicle's fluids

498
00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:50,520
power and Telemetry umbilicals from the

499
00:25:54,769 --> 00:25:52,320
ground systems to the rocket and

500
00:25:58,669 --> 00:25:54,779
satellites until Falcon 9 transfers to

501
00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:00,230
there you can see the clamp arms are

502
00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:02,279
opening up beneath the fairing in

503
00:26:13,610 --> 00:26:12,110
and as Ronnie mentioned those clamp arms

504
00:26:15,470 --> 00:26:13,620
are now open

505
00:26:18,169 --> 00:26:15,480
and we should hear the call out

506
00:26:19,970 --> 00:26:18,179
momentarily that the strong back is

507
00:26:24,350 --> 00:26:19,980
reclining actually I think we can see it

508
00:26:28,730 --> 00:26:26,690
at t0 the ground hydraulic systems will

509
00:26:42,409 --> 00:26:28,740
pull the te even further away from the

510
00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:44,269
at this point in the countdown both the

511
00:26:49,549 --> 00:26:46,860
first and second stages are nearly fully

512
00:26:52,370 --> 00:26:49,559
loaded with one million pounds of liquid

513
00:26:54,850 --> 00:26:52,380
oxygen and kerosene fuel we use two

514
00:26:57,830 --> 00:26:54,860
propellants a refined form of kerosene

515
00:26:59,630 --> 00:26:57,840
complete ever heard that column stage

516
00:27:02,570 --> 00:26:59,640
one is now fully loaded with all of its

517
00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:02,580
liquid oxygen and fuel stage two is

518
00:27:08,630 --> 00:27:06,240
undergoing its locks load uh uh full

519
00:27:10,549 --> 00:27:08,640
fuel load is complete on stage two we

520
00:27:12,350 --> 00:27:10,559
expect locks loading to wrap up at T

521
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:12,360
minus two minutes

522
00:27:16,250 --> 00:27:14,520
the liquid oxygen is chilled well below

523
00:27:18,110 --> 00:27:16,260
its boiling point so that it has a much

524
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:18,120
greater amount of mass per volume

525
00:27:22,010 --> 00:27:20,880
allowing us to load more of it into the

526
00:27:24,230 --> 00:27:22,020
rocket

527
00:27:27,169 --> 00:27:24,240
in addition to these two propellants we

528
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:27,179
also use a chemical t-tab or triethyl

529
00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:29,760
aluminum and triethyl boring and we use

530
00:27:34,970 --> 00:27:31,679
that as our ignition source

531
00:27:37,549 --> 00:27:34,980
the combustion of rp1 and locks is what

532
00:27:39,649 --> 00:27:37,559
makes the rocket go and it's the t-tab

533
00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:39,659
that sets the match to that propellant

534
00:27:47,810 --> 00:27:45,649
so once again the first stage has all of

535
00:27:51,169 --> 00:27:47,820
its propellants on board fully loaded

536
00:27:53,570 --> 00:27:51,179
with all of its liquid oxygen and rp1

537
00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:53,580
that rp1 load is complete on the second

538
00:27:58,370 --> 00:27:55,679
stage and we're expecting the locks load

539
00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:58,380
to wrap up here any second now on the

540
00:28:02,570 --> 00:28:00,480
second stage

541
00:28:05,390 --> 00:28:02,580
that's a minus 60 seconds we'll hear the

542
00:28:07,789 --> 00:28:05,400
call out Falcon 9 isn't startup

543
00:28:09,649 --> 00:28:07,799
it's an indication that the onboard uh

544
00:28:11,330 --> 00:28:09,659
internal flight computers have taken

545
00:28:14,269 --> 00:28:11,340
over the launch countdown

546
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:14,279
and just inside T minus two seconds we

547
00:28:20,750 --> 00:28:18,240
light the Merlin 1D engines for liftoff

548
00:28:23,029 --> 00:28:20,760
stage two oxflow complete

549
00:28:25,549 --> 00:28:23,039
and there's that call out so as of now

550
00:28:26,930 --> 00:28:25,559
Falcon 9 is fully loaded with all of its

551
00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:26,940
propellants

552
00:28:32,390 --> 00:28:29,760
the is-40e and Tempo payload continues

553
00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:32,400
to be healthy and the Falcon 9 team is

554
00:28:38,110 --> 00:28:35,100
tracking no major issues on the rocket

555
00:28:40,370 --> 00:28:38,120
currently weather is green

556
00:28:43,070 --> 00:28:40,380
whether it's green and the range is

557
00:28:45,409 --> 00:28:43,080
ready to support the t0 of 12 30 am

558
00:28:53,090 --> 00:28:45,419
eastern time just one minute and 20

559
00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:55,310
we heard that call a little bit ago for

560
00:29:00,049 --> 00:28:58,080
the ground Closeouts we'll now see some

561
00:29:01,310 --> 00:29:00,059
more of that liquid oxygen venting from

562
00:29:04,730 --> 00:29:01,320
the tea

563
00:29:09,289 --> 00:29:04,740
as those lines are now closed out to the

564
00:29:13,070 --> 00:29:11,149
all right there's that call out letting

565
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:13,080
us know that the onboard flight

566
00:29:20,930 --> 00:29:15,840
computers have taken control of the

567
00:29:25,370 --> 00:29:23,330
LD go for launch

568
00:29:27,230 --> 00:29:25,380
and there's our final go for launch

569
00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:27,240
tonight coming from our launch director

570
00:29:33,470 --> 00:29:31,440
we're now at T minus 35 seconds all

571
00:29:36,289 --> 00:29:33,480
systems are go for launch of Falcon 9

572
00:29:39,169 --> 00:29:36,299
with the Intel sat 40e and NASA 30

573
00:29:42,110 --> 00:29:39,179
seconds and the NASA Smithsonian Tempo

574
00:29:50,289 --> 00:29:42,120
payload less listening to the terminal

575
00:29:50,299 --> 00:29:55,370
15 seconds

576
00:29:55,380 --> 00:30:00,770
damage

577
00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:23,389
[Applause]

578
00:30:23,399 --> 00:30:29,830
I want these Enterprise

579
00:30:41,389 --> 00:30:36,500
[Music]

580
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:43,730
if you're just joining us those gorgeous

581
00:30:48,529 --> 00:30:46,020
views on your screen mean that Falcon 9

582
00:30:52,149 --> 00:30:48,539
has successfully lifted off from pad 40

583
00:30:54,649 --> 00:30:52,159
at Cape Canaveral space force station

584
00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:54,659
Telemetry they call out there that

585
00:30:56,990 --> 00:30:56,159
nominal power and Telemetry for the

586
00:30:59,149 --> 00:30:57,000
vehicle

587
00:31:01,549 --> 00:30:59,159
during this phase which is called Ascent

588
00:31:03,710 --> 00:31:01,559
we tilt the engines the technical term

589
00:31:05,570 --> 00:31:03,720
for this is called gimbaling and that

590
00:31:07,210 --> 00:31:05,580
turns the rocket horizontally in what we

591
00:31:10,010 --> 00:31:07,220
call a gravity turn

592
00:31:11,870 --> 00:31:10,020
is supersonic there's a call out that

593
00:31:13,549 --> 00:31:11,880
Falcon 9 is now traveling faster than

594
00:31:15,470 --> 00:31:13,559
the speed of sound

595
00:31:17,630 --> 00:31:15,480
during this period we're still going up

596
00:31:19,970 --> 00:31:17,640
but we're also heading horizontally away

597
00:31:22,070 --> 00:31:19,980
from the launch

598
00:31:23,930 --> 00:31:22,080
just moments ago we throttled down in

599
00:31:25,909 --> 00:31:23,940
preparation for Max Q which is the

600
00:31:27,710 --> 00:31:25,919
period of Maximum aerodynamic pressure

601
00:31:30,169 --> 00:31:27,720
that the vehicle will see on Ascent so

602
00:31:32,330 --> 00:31:30,179
that's what's happening right now

603
00:31:36,169 --> 00:31:32,340
the rocket typically needs to go about

604
00:31:37,850 --> 00:31:36,179
17 500 miles per hour horizontally in

605
00:31:39,710 --> 00:31:37,860
order to avoid being pulled back to

606
00:31:41,389 --> 00:31:39,720
Earth and reach orbit

607
00:31:43,490 --> 00:31:41,399
now we're going to have three events

608
00:31:45,769 --> 00:31:43,500
coming up in quick succession

609
00:31:48,889 --> 00:31:45,779
starting with main engine cutoff stage

610
00:31:51,470 --> 00:31:48,899
separation and second engine start one

611
00:31:53,389 --> 00:31:51,480
main engine cutoff or Mikko is the point

612
00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:53,399
during the flight where we shut down the

613
00:31:56,870 --> 00:31:55,740
nine Merlin 1D engines on the first

614
00:32:01,549 --> 00:31:56,880
stage

615
00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:01,559
separate from each other so that the

616
00:32:05,389 --> 00:32:03,360
second stage isn't carrying unnecessary

617
00:32:07,310 --> 00:32:05,399
Mass to orbit and of course the first

618
00:32:08,090 --> 00:32:07,320
stage booster begins its trip back to

619
00:32:10,370 --> 00:32:08,100
Earth

620
00:32:12,350 --> 00:32:10,380
the last callout you heard was about the

621
00:32:14,870 --> 00:32:12,360
mvac engine that's what we're going to

622
00:32:17,090 --> 00:32:14,880
start up during ses1 or second engine

623
00:32:18,529 --> 00:32:17,100
start one that's the period during the

624
00:32:20,510 --> 00:32:18,539
flight where we'll ignite the Merlin

625
00:32:22,970 --> 00:32:20,520
vacuum engine on board the second stage

626
00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:22,980
for the first time

627
00:32:27,049 --> 00:32:24,600
so we'll see all three of those happen

628
00:32:40,130 --> 00:32:27,059
back to back just about 10 seconds from

629
00:32:47,890 --> 00:32:42,529
thank you

630
00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:50,330
[Applause]

631
00:32:54,830 --> 00:32:53,039
and bad condition

632
00:32:56,750 --> 00:32:54,840
heard and definitely saw those great

633
00:32:58,669 --> 00:32:56,760
views on your screen three events

634
00:33:02,389 --> 00:32:58,679
happening back to back main engine cut

635
00:33:04,430 --> 00:33:02,399
off stage separation and ses1 coming up

636
00:33:07,310 --> 00:33:04,440
next we'll be fairing separation in just

637
00:33:10,970 --> 00:33:08,870
during this portion of the flight will

638
00:33:20,630 --> 00:33:10,980
jettison both fairing halves and then

639
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:22,850
both vehicles are following nominal

640
00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:31,490
bearing separation confirmed

641
00:33:35,210 --> 00:33:33,480
there we've got confirmation of fairing

642
00:33:37,250 --> 00:33:35,220
separation which means both fairing

643
00:33:40,190 --> 00:33:37,260
halves are on their way back to Earth to

644
00:33:42,350 --> 00:33:40,200
be recovered by our recovery vessel Doug

645
00:33:43,909 --> 00:33:42,360
coming up next there are two Burns for

646
00:33:46,009 --> 00:33:43,919
our first stage as we prepare for

647
00:33:53,810 --> 00:33:46,019
landing on our drone ship a shortfall of

648
00:33:59,810 --> 00:33:56,990
acquisition of signal Bermuda

649
00:34:02,570 --> 00:33:59,820
for now t plus three minutes and 54

650
00:34:04,430 --> 00:34:02,580
seconds into today's Mission and we're

651
00:34:07,009 --> 00:34:04,440
currently as you there see there on your

652
00:34:09,409 --> 00:34:07,019
screen we're in the first of two planned

653
00:34:11,629 --> 00:34:09,419
and back Burns that will occur prior to

654
00:34:15,230 --> 00:34:11,639
satellite deployment

655
00:34:17,210 --> 00:34:15,240
at t plus six minutes and 31 seconds or

656
00:34:20,149 --> 00:34:17,220
around there you should see on your

657
00:34:23,690 --> 00:34:20,159
screen the first stage is entry burn

658
00:34:26,869 --> 00:34:23,700
for that entry burn we relight three m1d

659
00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:26,879
engines which are the uh those nine

660
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:29,040
engines at the base or the bottom of the

661
00:34:33,950 --> 00:34:32,280
first stage we will relight first the

662
00:34:36,710 --> 00:34:33,960
center engine or

663
00:34:39,109 --> 00:34:36,720
called E9 and then shortly thereafter we

664
00:34:41,450 --> 00:34:39,119
will also relight two radial engines

665
00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:41,460
engines one and five

666
00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:43,440
and all three of those together will

667
00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:45,599
help slow the vehicle down as it passes

668
00:34:58,190 --> 00:34:54,649
We performed that re-entry burn in order

669
00:35:00,109 --> 00:34:58,200
to slow excuse me to slow down the

670
00:35:02,810 --> 00:35:00,119
booster which helps to reduce those

671
00:35:04,910 --> 00:35:02,820
re-entry forces that it sees and in turn

672
00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:04,920
that helps us recover and reuse our

673
00:35:10,490 --> 00:35:07,560
first stages both vehicles continue to

674
00:35:12,349 --> 00:35:10,500
follow nominal trajectories

675
00:35:14,750 --> 00:35:12,359
although we can't see the first stage

676
00:35:16,550 --> 00:35:14,760
right now you can follow along with the

677
00:35:18,589 --> 00:35:16,560
Telemetry there in the bottom left-hand

678
00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:18,599
corner for stage one and then that stage

679
00:35:24,349 --> 00:35:21,660
two Telemetry there in the right hand uh

680
00:35:26,810 --> 00:35:24,359
bottom corner of your screen

681
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:26,820
we can see that the first stage is now

682
00:35:31,310 --> 00:35:29,220
beginning its descent uh back to Earth

683
00:35:34,910 --> 00:35:31,320
so it has already passed through its

684
00:35:37,790 --> 00:35:34,920
apogee making its way uh back down this

685
00:35:39,109 --> 00:35:37,800
time we're targeting a landing on our

686
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:39,119
drone ship which is parked a couple

687
00:35:44,089 --> 00:35:40,800
hundred miles off the coast of Florida

688
00:35:47,329 --> 00:35:44,099
in the Atlantic Ocean

689
00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:47,339
during that entry burn Falcon 9 is

690
00:35:51,950 --> 00:35:49,560
decelerating is decelerating by firing

691
00:35:53,630 --> 00:35:51,960
its Merlin engines but it's still moving

692
00:35:55,370 --> 00:35:53,640
very rapidly

693
00:35:57,770 --> 00:35:55,380
this causes the vehicle to fly through

694
00:36:01,849 --> 00:35:57,780
Merlin's exhaust gases also known as the

695
00:36:05,450 --> 00:36:01,859
Rockets plume and by doing so we get a

696
00:36:06,589 --> 00:36:05,460
deposit of soot on the uh on the vehicle

697
00:36:09,050 --> 00:36:06,599
surface

698
00:36:14,750 --> 00:36:09,060
that's it then basically comes from the

699
00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:16,550
we're expecting that entry burn to begin

700
00:36:24,829 --> 00:36:22,730
everything continues to look good there

701
00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:24,839
for that second stage we can see that

702
00:36:29,109 --> 00:36:26,160
mvac engine

703
00:36:33,069 --> 00:36:29,119
uh which is the singular Merlin engine

704
00:36:39,890 --> 00:36:33,079
designed for use in the vacuum of space

705
00:36:44,990 --> 00:36:42,290
stage one entry burn startup

706
00:36:46,430 --> 00:36:45,000
stage one FTS is saved

707
00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:46,440
all right so there on that left hand

708
00:36:50,450 --> 00:36:48,000
side of your screen those stage one

709
00:36:52,069 --> 00:36:50,460
views are back we can see that entry

710
00:36:54,230 --> 00:36:52,079
burn has begun and it's also

711
00:36:56,810 --> 00:36:54,240
Illuminating the grid fins which help to

712
00:37:02,329 --> 00:36:56,820
steer the booster for re-entry and also

713
00:37:07,730 --> 00:37:05,630
stage one entry burn shutdown

714
00:37:09,349 --> 00:37:07,740
all right we can see that entry burn has

715
00:37:13,010 --> 00:37:09,359
completed Vehicles continue to follow

716
00:37:17,870 --> 00:37:16,069
as a reminder the first stage that we

717
00:37:21,230 --> 00:37:17,880
saw there on the left hand side of your

718
00:37:23,690 --> 00:37:21,240
screen that performed the entry burn for

719
00:37:27,950 --> 00:37:23,700
the fourth time it previously supported

720
00:37:29,390 --> 00:37:27,960
CRS 26 one web launch 16 and a starlink

721
00:37:31,970 --> 00:37:29,400
mission

722
00:37:34,370 --> 00:37:31,980
Falcon 9 is the world's first orbital

723
00:37:36,109 --> 00:37:34,380
class reusable rocket and this is

724
00:37:38,569 --> 00:37:36,119
important because reusability allows

725
00:37:40,849 --> 00:37:38,579
SpaceX to refly the most expensive parts

726
00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:40,859
of the rocket which in turn drives down

727
00:37:53,750 --> 00:37:50,329
the next major Milestone we have coming

728
00:37:56,870 --> 00:37:53,760
up is Seco or second engine cutoff one

729
00:37:59,210 --> 00:37:56,880
which is coming up in about 20 seconds

730
00:38:00,950 --> 00:37:59,220
that will be followed very quickly which

731
00:38:03,650 --> 00:38:00,960
one transonic

732
00:38:05,870 --> 00:38:03,660
that call out tells us that the first

733
00:38:09,290 --> 00:38:05,880
stage is traveling near the speed of

734
00:38:11,870 --> 00:38:09,300
sound that first stage will begin its

735
00:38:22,010 --> 00:38:11,880
Landing burn just after we have the

736
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:24,710
and back shut down

737
00:38:28,670 --> 00:38:26,280
all right there's that call out telling

738
00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:28,680
us that we had successful shutdown or

739
00:38:37,730 --> 00:38:35,150
you can see Landing burn has begun there

740
00:38:39,890 --> 00:38:37,740
on that screen thanks to FTS is safe you

741
00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:39,900

749
00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:10,380
marks spacex's 184th recovery of an

750
00:39:15,410 --> 00:39:12,780
orbital class rocket including first

751
00:39:18,770 --> 00:39:15,420
stage Landings for Falcon 9 and Falcon

752
00:39:20,690 --> 00:39:18,780
heavy the mission isn't over just yet we

753
00:39:23,569 --> 00:39:20,700
did hear the call out telling us that

754
00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:23,579
the second stage achieved good orbit so

755
00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:25,920
it is now embarking on its First Coast

756
00:39:30,530 --> 00:39:28,320
phase after this Coast phase we will

757
00:39:32,510 --> 00:39:30,540
light that mvac engine for a second time

758
00:39:35,450 --> 00:39:32,520
and that will happen around the t plus

759
00:39:37,849 --> 00:39:35,460
26 minute Mark so hang tight we'll see

760
00:39:40,580 --> 00:39:37,859

welcome back to the SpaceX webcast

807
00:56:15,349 --> 00:56:12,119
tonight's Falcon 9 mission is carrying

808
00:56:17,690 --> 00:56:15,359
the Intel sat 40e and NASA Smithsonian

809
00:56:19,910 --> 00:56:17,700
Tempo payload for our customer intelsat

810
00:56:23,450 --> 00:56:19,920
we've had a nominal Mission so far

811
00:56:26,210 --> 00:56:23,460
Falcon 9 launched on time at 12 30 a.m

812
00:56:27,890 --> 00:56:26,220
Eastern from space launch complex 40 and

813
00:56:30,109 --> 00:56:27,900
then successfully landed on our drone

814
00:56:32,270 --> 00:56:30,119
ship a shortfall of Gravitas

815
00:56:34,430 --> 00:56:32,280
well the second stage completed its

816
00:56:35,930 --> 00:56:34,440
first burn taking our payload into its

817
00:56:37,970 --> 00:56:35,940
initial parking orbit

818
00:56:39,770 --> 00:56:37,980
we're just about five seconds away from

819
00:56:41,870 --> 00:56:39,780
a second ignition of the Merlin vacuum

820
00:56:43,849 --> 00:56:41,880
engine which will carry the second stage

821
00:56:45,049 --> 00:56:43,859
and today's payload into the orbit

822
00:56:46,130 --> 00:56:45,059
needed to deploy the satellite

823
00:56:48,049 --> 00:56:46,140
recognition

824
00:56:52,069 --> 00:56:48,059
here's the confirmation we've got for

825
00:56:54,230 --> 00:56:52,079
ses2 second engine start 2. this burn of

826
00:56:57,290 --> 00:56:54,240
the mvac engine is planned to last just

827
00:57:02,630 --> 00:56:59,390
right now you can see the mvac skirt

828
00:57:07,190 --> 00:57:02,640
glowing orange as it burns

829
00:57:11,510 --> 00:57:09,710
while the mvac and Merlin engines on

830
00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:11,520
board the first stage are quite similar

831
00:57:15,710 --> 00:57:13,680
the mvac is unique and that has been

832
00:57:18,170 --> 00:57:15,720
optimized to perform in the vacuum of

833
00:57:26,750 --> 00:57:18,180
space which gives its gives it its name

834
00:57:30,650 --> 00:57:28,670
just about 10 seconds to go on this burn

835
00:57:41,930 --> 00:57:30,660
before we'll hear before we expect to

836
00:57:52,250 --> 00:57:44,569
Index right now there's the confirmation

837
00:57:56,569 --> 00:57:54,890
Elemental orbit insertion

838
00:57:59,270 --> 00:57:56,579
now confirms that we're in the correct

839
00:58:01,730 --> 00:57:59,280
orbit so right now the payload is still

840
00:58:03,589 --> 00:58:01,740
attached to Falcon 9's second stage with

841
00:58:06,230 --> 00:58:03,599
deployments scheduled in just about four

842
00:58:07,790 --> 00:58:06,240
