00:01:41,030 thanks Jasmine hello everyone my name is 28 00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:42,840 Zachary Lupine and I'm an avionics 29 00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:45,360 reliability engineer here at SpaceX and 30 00:01:49,370 --> 00:01:46,380 it's great to be covering today's 31 00:01:51,649 --> 00:01:49,380 mission in partnership with NASA 32 00:01:54,050 --> 00:01:51,659 on your screen right now is a live view 33 00:01:56,210 --> 00:01:54,060 of spacex's two-stage Falcon 9 rocket 34 00:01:58,969 --> 00:01:56,220 with our Dragon spacecraft at the very 35 00:02:00,710 --> 00:01:58,979 top dragon is one of the few vehicles 36 00:02:02,569 --> 00:02:00,720 that can deliver significant cargo to 37 00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:02,579 the space station and the only vehicle 38 00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:04,920 that can deliver cargo from it and today 39 00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:07,560 dragon has visited the station 37 times 40 00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:10,380 and transported 280 thousand pounds of 41 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:12,239 cargo back and forth from the orbiting 42 00:02:15,890 --> 00:02:13,440 Laboratory 43 00:02:18,410 --> 00:02:15,900 below dragon is our Falcon 9 vehicle 44 00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:18,420 which is actually two rockets in one the 45 00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:20,580 lower part also the largest part of the 46 00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:22,860 rocket is called the first stage it has 47 00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:25,020 nine Merlin 1D engines which accelerate 48 00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:26,040 the vehicle through the Earth's 49 00:02:29,089 --> 00:02:28,020 atmosphere and into various orbits in 50 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:29,099 space 51 00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,720 the top of the first stage is the black 52 00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:32,879 interstage and above that is the Falcon 53 00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:35,400 9 second stage now the two stages will 54 00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:36,840 separate about two and a half minutes 55 00:02:40,250 --> 00:02:38,580 into flight and then the second stage 56 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,260 will ignite its single Merlin vacuum 57 00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,239 engine or m-back engine which is the 58 00:02:46,610 --> 00:02:44,160 10th engine on the rocket to carry 59 00:02:48,290 --> 00:02:46,620 Dragon to its desired orbit 60 00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:48,300 now during today's Mission you will 61 00:02:52,970 --> 00:02:51,180 notice a shorter nozzle attached to our 62 00:02:54,410 --> 00:02:52,980 second stage we are flying a shorter 63 00:02:55,850 --> 00:02:54,420 nozzle when we don't need as much 64 00:02:57,710 --> 00:02:55,860 performance to get payloads to their 65 00:02:59,150 --> 00:02:57,720 final destination 66 00:03:01,610 --> 00:02:59,160 now for those of you following along 67 00:03:04,690 --> 00:03:01,620 today Mark spacex's 38th launch this 68 00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:04,700 year Fourth Dragon flight in 2023 and 69 00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:07,260 237th Mission overall 70 00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:09,480 Falcon 9 and dragon were both designed 71 00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:11,340 with reflight in mind and the vehicle 72 00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,080 Hardware is built to support multiple 73 00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:15,360 missions with minimal refurbishment 74 00:03:20,089 --> 00:03:17,519 today's dragon is flying for its fourth 75 00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:20,099 time and also Mark spacex's 20th reuse 76 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:21,480 of the vehicle 77 00:03:25,550 --> 00:03:23,760 and the Falcon 9 first stage is flying 78 00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:25,560 for its fifth time and we plan to 79 00:03:29,570 --> 00:03:27,420 recover and fly both the vehicle and the 80 00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:29,580 spacecraft again in the future 81 00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:32,700 so far we've reflowned 170 first stages 82 00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:34,800 including both Falcon 9 and Falcon heavy 83 00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:36,300 and we're planning to recover this 84 00:03:39,949 --> 00:03:38,040 booster on our drone ship a shortfall of 85 00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,959 Gravitas which is currently stationed 86 00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,760 off the coast of Florida in the Atlantic 87 00:03:46,850 --> 00:03:43,920 Ocean and if successful this will Mark 88 00:03:47,869 --> 00:03:46,860 the 198th recovery of an orbital class 89 00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:47,879 rocket 90 00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:49,920 now as the clock ticks closer to t0 91 00:03:53,390 --> 00:03:52,200 Let's head over to NASA's Megan Cruz at 92 00:03:55,850 --> 00:03:53,400 Cape Canaveral to talk about today's 93 00:03:58,369 --> 00:03:55,860 weather

00:04:02,040 station this is where I can monitor the 97 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:03,480 launch team as they take us through 98 00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:06,000 today's countdown so so far hearing a 99 00:04:09,530 --> 00:04:07,799 lot of good things over the Nets the 100 00:04:11,690 --> 00:04:09,540 vehicle is healthy the team working no 101 00:04:13,070 --> 00:04:11,700 issues the range is green meaning our 102 00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:13,080 path from here to the International 103 00:04:17,689 --> 00:04:16,079 Space Station is clear and safe and the 104 00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:17,699 weather which has been the issue all 105 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:19,560 weekend forcing the team to stand down 106 00:04:25,969 --> 00:04:22,800 Saturday and Sunday attempts today we 107 00:04:27,890 --> 00:04:25,979 are 80 percent go you can see those 108 00:04:29,930 --> 00:04:27,900 watch items on the bottom left of your 109 00:04:31,850 --> 00:04:29,940 screen launch weather officer arlena 110 00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:31,860 Moses will be monitoring a few showers 111 00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:33,960 she expects to move into the area during 112 00:04:37,370 --> 00:04:35,820 launch and I know some of you out there 113 00:04:40,010 --> 00:04:37,380 you might be thinking it seems a little 114 00:04:42,890 --> 00:04:40,020 windy out here but those winds are well 115 00:04:44,689 --> 00:04:42,900 below any concerns for launch and as for 116 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,699 the weather around the booster recovery 117 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:46,560 area yesterday uh yesterday yesterday 118 00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,960 high seas kept us from launching but 119 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:50,960 today check out this live look from 120 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:53,280 spacex's drone ship out in the Atlantic 121 00:04:57,290 --> 00:04:55,440 conditions are still a little rough out 122 00:04:59,689 --> 00:04:57,300 there but better than yesterday hence 123 00:05:01,730 --> 00:04:59,699 again that 80 percent go for a launch in 124 00:05:04,189 --> 00:05:01,740 just about 17 minutes 125 00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:04,199 so right now SpaceX is fueling Falcon 9 126 00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:06,840 rp1 or rocket grade kerosene load is 127 00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:09,180 complete super chilled liquid oxygen is 128 00:05:13,070 --> 00:05:11,160 being loaded into the first and second 129 00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:13,080 stage you see those white clouds 130 00:05:17,689 --> 00:05:15,180 completely normal that's some of the 131 00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:17,699 liquid oxygen venting off SpaceX vents 132 00:05:21,890 --> 00:05:19,740 off some of that locks to maintain the 133 00:05:23,930 --> 00:05:21,900 right pressure in the tanks and those 134 00:05:26,810 --> 00:05:23,940 clouds form when the liquid oxygen makes 135 00:05:28,730 --> 00:05:26,820 contact with Florida's humid air 136 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:28,740 our instantaneous launch opportunity 137 00:05:33,890 --> 00:05:32,400 today 11 47 and zero seconds eastern 138 00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:33,900 time if we want to dock with the 139 00:05:39,409 --> 00:05:37,080 International Space Station on Tuesday 140 00:05:41,629 --> 00:05:39,419 June 6th for more on that let's head 141 00:05:44,830 --> 00:05:41,639 over to Shaniqua vraine inside NASA's 142 00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:47,450 thanks Megan and welcome to the 143

00:07:54,770 --> 00:07:52,259 the arrays will roll out into position 202 00:07:56,689 --> 00:07:54,780 boosting power on the station by up to 203 00:07:59,210 --> 00:07:56,699 30 percent 204 00:08:01,490 --> 00:07:59,220 now across the country NASA and our 205 00:08:03,290 --> 00:08:01,500 partners are making small steps and 206 00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:03,300 giant leaps in preparation for the 207 00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:05,520 Artemis II crude Mission around the moon 208 00:08:11,770 --> 00:08:07,860 so let's take a look at our Artemis Moon 209 00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:14,809 all five major structures of the space 210 00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:17,280 launch system Rockets core stage have 211 00:08:22,129 --> 00:08:19,500 now been fully integrated at the michoud 212 00:08:24,589 --> 00:08:22,139 assembly facility in Louisiana 213 00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:24,599 the engine section is the most complex 214 00:08:29,390 --> 00:08:26,879 and intricate part of the core stage 215 00:08:30,430 --> 00:08:29,400 that powers the Artemis missions to the 216 00:08:33,529 --> 00:08:30,440 Moon 217 00:08:35,630 --> 00:08:33,539 rs-25 engine testing is underway at 218 00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:35,640 stennis Space Center near Bay St Louis 219 00:08:39,409 --> 00:08:36,959 Mississippi 220 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:39,419 this test is part of a 12 test series 221 00:08:43,969 --> 00:08:42,000 that will certify the new design for 222 00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:43,979 crude Artemis missions 223 00:08:50,570 --> 00:08:47,279 the engine ran for its full planned 720 224 00:08:52,509 --> 00:08:50,580 seconds the longest duration to date 225 00:08:54,829 --> 00:08:52,519 at Kennedy Space Center in Florida 226 00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:54,839 technicians have been testing the solar 227 00:08:59,810 --> 00:08:56,880 array wings for the Artemis 2 service 228 00:09:02,810 --> 00:08:59,820 module Orion will have four solar Wings 229 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:02,820 drawing in 11 kilowatts of power from 230 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:04,560 the Sun 231 00:09:09,470 --> 00:09:07,200 some of the avionics for Artemis 2 have 232 00:09:11,329 --> 00:09:09,480 already been to space technicians 233 00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:11,339 finished cleaning and removing avionics 234 00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:13,740 on the Artemis 1 Crew module which will 235 00:09:24,050 --> 00:09:15,839 be used on the Orion capsule for Artemis 236 00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:26,509 now we are at T minus 12 minutes and 237 00:09:30,650 --> 00:09:29,100 Counting from the liftoff of the 28th 238 00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:30,660 Commercial resupply Services Mission 239 00:09:34,850 --> 00:09:32,820 from both NASA and SpaceX to the 240 00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:34,860 International Space Station let's bring 241 00:09:41,150 --> 00:09:36,420 back Zach now to tell us more about 242 00:09:44,269 --> 00:09:42,889 thanks Jasmine for those of you 243 00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:44,279 following along you'll know that it's 244 00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:46,260 already been a very busy year and couple 245 00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:48,360 of weeks for Dragon vehicles at the 246 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,000 International Space Station crs-28 Mark 247 00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:53,519 spacex's fourth dragon mission of 2023 248 00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:56,640 following the launches of crew 6 crs-27 249 00:10:00,290 --> 00:09:58,560 and ax2 250 00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:00,300 the dragon spacecraft supporting today's 251 00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:02,100 Mission will be joining crew 6 and 252 00:10:05,930 --> 00:10:03,480 dragon Endeavor which have been on 253 00:10:08,690 --> 00:10:05,940 station since March so in order to make 254 00:10:11,329 --> 00:10:08,700 room for ax2 and crs-28 at the harmony 255 00:10:13,490 --> 00:10:11,339 Zenith port on the ISS the four members 256 00:10:16,670 --> 00:10:13,500 of cruise 6 underwent a port relocation 257 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:16,680 on May 6th and put another way a dragon 258 00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:18,720 move parking spots to make room for the 259 00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:20,760 incoming dragons 260 00:10:25,490 --> 00:10:23,100 a few weeks later on Sunday May 21st 261 00:10:27,889 --> 00:10:25,500 dragon and the crew of ax2 lifted off 262 00:10:30,110 --> 00:10:27,899 from historic launch complex 39a at 263 00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:30,120 NASA's Kennedy Space Center and arrived 264 00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:32,220 at station about 15 and a half hours 265 00:10:36,889 --> 00:10:34,740 later and this is dragon's fastest 266 00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:36,899 launch to docking time for a human space 267 00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:38,940 flight mission 268 00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:40,860 after eight days of living and 269 00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:42,240 conducting research on the space station 270 00:10:46,670 --> 00:10:44,279 Dragon freedom undocked from the 271 00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,680 orbiting laboratory and returned the ax2 272 00:10:51,170 --> 00:10:48,720 crew back to planet Earth off the coast 273 00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:51,180 of Florida at 11 04 PM Eastern on 274 00:10:55,490 --> 00:10:54,000 Tuesday May 30th and this made room for 275 00:10:57,050 --> 00:10:55,500 the dragon vehicle supporting today's 276 00:10:58,850 --> 00:10:57,060 mission 277 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:58,860 from the beginning Dragon was designed 278 00:11:03,769 --> 00:11:01,200 to fly cargo and humans to and from 279 00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:03,779 space and since dragons first visit to 280 00:11:08,449 --> 00:11:06,180 the space station in May 2012 we've come 281 00:11:10,910 --> 00:11:08,459 a long way in that time as I mentioned 282 00:11:13,009 --> 00:11:10,920 earlier dragon has visited the ISS 37 283 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,019 times and nine of those missions carried 284 00:11:17,630 --> 00:11:15,839 crew in fact the first time Dragon flew 285 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,640 people was just about three years ago 286 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:20,160 with SpaceX and NASA's demo 2 mission to 287 00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:21,839 the space station 288 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,240 NASA astronauts Bob benken and Doug 289 00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:25,920 Hurley took the first flight on Dragon 290 00:11:30,410 --> 00:11:28,740 on May 30th 2020 returning human space 291 00:11:32,090 --> 00:11:30,420 flight capabilities to the United States 292 00:11:34,730 --> 00:11:32,100 for the first time since the space 293 00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,740 shuttle retired in 2011. 294 00:11:38,269 --> 00:11:36,720 the launch of demo 2 also marked the 295 00:11:40,490 --> 00:11:38,279 first time in history that a commercial 296 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:40,500 company successfully took astronauts to 297 00:11:43,730 --> 00:11:41,760 orbit 298 00:11:45,710 --> 00:11:43,740 and since then SpaceX has launched a 299 00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:45,720 total of 10 human spaceflight missions 300 00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:47,880 to space and to help enable greater 301 00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:49,560 flexibility for future Dragon missions 302 00:11:53,810 --> 00:11:51,720 SpaceX is preparing our neighboring pad 303 00:11:55,370 --> 00:11:53,820 space launch complex 40 at Cape 304 00:11:58,850 --> 00:11:55,380 Canaveral space force station in Florida 305 00:12:00,889 --> 00:11:58,860 to support both cargo and crew missions 306 00:12:02,690 --> 00:12:00,899 as we fly more and more people to and 307 00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:02,700 from space human space flight becomes 308 00:12:06,769 --> 00:12:04,320 more accessible and creates more 309 00:12:08,630 --> 00:12:06,779 opportunities for Humanity to become a 310 00:12:10,850 --> 00:12:08,640 space-bearing civilization 311 00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:10,860 and now I'll turn it back to Jasmine at 312 00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:12,240 KSC to take a look at one of the 313 00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:13,680 payloads flying on today's Mission 314 00:12:19,550 --> 00:12:17,160 Jasmine thank you Zach one experiment on 315 00:12:22,610 --> 00:12:19,560 crs-28 could be used to predict your 316 00:12:24,889 --> 00:12:22,620 risk for certain diseases aging and how 317 00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:24,899 our bodies heal earlier this week I got 318 00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:26,339 the chance to speak with the brains 319 00:12:32,269 --> 00:12:30,000 behind genes in space 10. 320 00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:32,279 joining us now is pristine on waha a 321 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,839 high school student from East Chapel 322 00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:35,760 Hill North Carolina Welcome Christine 323 00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:37,740 thanks for having me of course happy to 324 00:12:40,970 --> 00:12:39,600 have you here so can you tell us a 325 00:12:42,769 --> 00:12:40,980 little bit about how you're feeling a 326 00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:42,779 high school student with your experiment 327 00:12:46,430 --> 00:12:44,399 heading to the International Space 328 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,440 Station it's honestly a dream come true 329 00:12:50,449 --> 00:12:48,720 this idea started off originally in my 330 00:12:52,430 --> 00:12:50,459 head and now it's going to be a reality 331 00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:52,440 pretty soon so I'm really excited of 332 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:54,120 course we love that excitement pristine 333 00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:55,440 and we cannot wait to see your dreams 334 00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:57,720 realized can you break down what is the 335 00:13:01,910 --> 00:13:00,000 genes in space 10 experiment the 336 00:13:03,470 --> 00:13:01,920 experiment involved telomeres and these 337 00:13:05,389 --> 00:13:03,480 are the repetitive sequences that cap 338 00:13:07,009 --> 00:13:05,399 the ends of our chromosomes on the earth 339 00:13:09,170 --> 00:13:07,019 tone your is normally shortened as we 340 00:13:10,910 --> 00:13:09,180 age but for astronauts in space they 341 00:13:13,009 --> 00:13:10,920 actually appear to get longer and so 342 00:13:14,449 --> 00:13:13,019 with that I developed an experiment to 343 00:13:16,910 --> 00:13:14,459 see if that process could be linked to 344 00:13:18,650 --> 00:13:16,920 the activity of stem cells now in the 345 00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:18,660 development of that experiment something 346 00:13:23,090 --> 00:13:20,940 really important was measuring telling 347 00:13:25,250 --> 00:13:23,100 your length but it turns out that isn't 348 00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:25,260 something that can really be done on the 349 00:13:29,629 --> 00:13:27,720 ISS instead experiments involving DNA 350 00:13:31,790 --> 00:13:29,639 link measurement need to be sent down to 351 00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:31,800 earth and that costs time and resources 352 00:13:35,150 --> 00:13:33,600 so with that the genes in space team 353 00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:35,160 that I got thinking what if we developed 354 00:13:39,170 --> 00:13:36,959 an experiment that could help address 355 00:13:40,730 --> 00:13:39,180 that and so we developed an experiment 356 00:13:43,009 --> 00:13:40,740 that will allow astronauts and the Isis 357 00:13:44,569 --> 00:13:43,019 to detect the fourfold difference in DNA 358 00:13:46,250 --> 00:13:44,579 length and so with that it opens the 359 00:13:49,069 --> 00:13:46,260 door up for more kinds of research to be 360 00:13:51,050 --> 00:13:49,079 done on the ISS such as into genetic 361 00:13:52,670 --> 00:13:51,060 monitoring because being in space makes 362 00:13:53,810 --> 00:13:52,680 you more prone to genetic mutation so 363 00:13:56,030 --> 00:13:53,820 that's something that can help with that 364 00:13:58,129 --> 00:13:56,040 also opens the door up for more research 365 00:13:59,210 --> 00:13:58,139 into tone years to be done and even 366 00:14:01,129 --> 00:13:59,220 broader 367 00:14:03,410 --> 00:14:01,139 Christine that is so exciting and your 368 00:14:05,449 --> 00:14:03,420 experiment was chosen out of over 600 369 00:14:06,889 --> 00:14:05,459 applications so what advice do you have 370 00:14:08,509 --> 00:14:06,899 for students who are also interested in 371 00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:08,519 this opportunity yeah I would just 372 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,260 encourage other students to just explore 373 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:12,240 their passions in space biology and 374 00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:14,639 pursue it as best as you can that's what 375 00:14:18,410 --> 00:14:16,380 I did and it led me to where I am here 376 00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:18,420 exactly very excited to have you here 377 00:14:21,710 --> 00:14:20,399 and tell me what are your plans after 378 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:21,720 high school I mean we've got some great 379 00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:23,760 things on the horizon right yeah so in 380 00:14:28,009 --> 00:14:25,440 the fall I'll be headed off to UNC 381 00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:28,019 Chapel Hill um I'm planning on studying 382 00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:30,180 either biology or biochemistry and I'm 383 00:14:33,470 --> 00:14:32,100 really excited to get more involved with 384 00:14:36,050 --> 00:14:33,480 biological research in the future 385 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:36,060 especially space biology of course thank 386 00:14:40,370 --> 00:14:36,959 you so much for joining us today 387 00:14:42,410 --> 00:14:40,380 Christine thanks for having me 388 00:14:44,449 --> 00:14:42,420 thanks again to pristine for speaking 389 00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:44,459 with us and she is not the only student 390 00:14:48,769 --> 00:14:47,220 experiment going up on CRS 28 stem 391 00:14:50,569 --> 00:14:48,779 engagement is very important to us here 392 00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:50,579 at Nasa for the future of the Artemis 393 00:14:54,290 --> 00:14:51,600 generation 394 00:14:56,769 --> 00:14:54,300 all right now we are just about seven 395 00:14:59,569 --> 00:14:56,779 minutes and Counting and to liftoff of 396 00:15:01,550 --> 00:14:59,579 crs28 so let's bring back Megan here on 397 00:15:03,050 --> 00:15:01,560 Florida Space Coast and Zach live at 398 00:15:04,910 --> 00:15:03,060 SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne 399 00:15:09,710 --> 00:15:04,920 California to walk us through the final 400 00:15:14,030 --> 00:15:11,870 thanks Jasmine it's T-minus six minutes 401 00:15:15,710 --> 00:15:14,040 and 50 seconds and the SpaceX team is 402 00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:15,720 currently working no significant issues 403 00:15:20,509 --> 00:15:18,300 and the vehicle is healthy weather is 404 00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:20,519 currently 80 percent go and the range is 405 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:23,100 ready to support today's mission 406 00:15:28,009 --> 00:15:26,160 at this point rocket propellant 1 or rp1 407 00:15:29,810 --> 00:15:28,019 fuel is completely loaded on the second 408 00:15:32,689 --> 00:15:29,820 stage and nearly complete on the first 409 00:15:34,610 --> 00:15:32,699 stage liquid oxygen or locks loading is 410 00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:34,620 currently underway on both stages and 411 00:15:38,269 --> 00:15:36,480 will complete at the T minus two minutes 412 00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:38,279 uh Mark to Launch 413 00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:40,440 we're also loading helium gas into both 414 00:15:44,930 --> 00:15:43,320 stages Falcon 9 uses helium as a 415 00:15:47,389 --> 00:15:44,940 pressure to backfill the propellant 416 00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:47,399 tanks as locks and rp1 are consumed by 417 00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:49,800 the Merlin engines during ascent helium 418 00:15:53,689 --> 00:15:51,660 load began before the broadcast went 419 00:15:56,810 --> 00:15:53,699 live and will continue to top off until 420 00:15:58,910 --> 00:15:56,820 about a minute and a half before launch 421 00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:58,920 and about 40 seconds ago SpaceX 422 00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:01,199 performed the engine chill that's when 423 00:16:05,329 --> 00:16:03,120 the team flowed a small amount of the 424 00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:05,339 super chilled liquid oxygen into the 425 00:16:09,230 --> 00:16:07,440 Merlin engines turbo pumps they're 426 00:16:11,810 --> 00:16:09,240 basically prepping the propulsion system 427 00:16:14,090 --> 00:16:11,820 for the full flow of liquid oxygen by 428 00:16:16,189 --> 00:16:14,100 doing this they avoid avoid a thermal 429 00:16:18,530 --> 00:16:16,199 shock to the system ensuring engine 430 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:18,540 started let's go load is complete and 431 00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:19,920 you heard that call out for stage one 432 00:16:25,129 --> 00:16:23,040 fuel RP fuel load complete now Dragon 433 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:25,139 also began its startup sequence at T 434 00:16:29,689 --> 00:16:27,120 minus 35 minutes when it coordinated 435 00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:29,699 timing with Falcon 9. the spacecraft is 436 00:16:33,710 --> 00:16:31,199 currently undergoing vehicle health 437 00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:33,720 checks it will enter terminal count at T 438 00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:35,519 minus five minutes with the next big 439 00:16:45,050 --> 00:16:37,740 step just a minute before a liftoff when 440 00:16:48,530 --> 00:16:46,670 now you may have noticed those white 441 00:16:50,569 --> 00:16:48,540 clouds around the vehicle those are 442 00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:50,579 completely normal they are chilled gas 443 00:16:55,129 --> 00:16:53,519 above the Lox tank with lox tank liquid 444 00:16:56,990 --> 00:16:55,139 surface that we bent overboard to 445 00:16:58,550 --> 00:16:57,000 maintain pressure in the tank as needed 446 00:17:00,590 --> 00:16:58,560 and when that gas comes out into contact 447 00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:00,600 with the warm humid Florida Air the air 448 00:17:04,620 --> 00:17:08,390 now 449 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:15,450 horsepower 450 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,909 [Music] 451 00:17:20,750 --> 00:17:19,199 the transporter erector or te is used 452 00:17:22,490 --> 00:17:20,760 for vehicle rollout and a route 453 00:17:24,409 --> 00:17:22,500 propellants and electrical power to the 454 00:17:26,030 --> 00:17:24,419 vehicle in preparation for launch and 455 00:17:27,949 --> 00:17:26,040 once those clamp arms have fully opened 456 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:27,959 the te will then retract away from the 457 00:17:32,990 --> 00:17:31,200 rocket in preparation for liftoff 458 00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:33,000 we have a hot mic on the countdown that 459 00:17:40,850 --> 00:17:37,020 all parties check your key panels 460 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:42,650 we should see those clamp arms opening 461 00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:51,470 those clamp arms are located just below 462 00:18:01,070 --> 00:17:53,039 the trunk of the vehicle which is 463 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,690 and there you can see those clamp arms 464 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:05,039 beginning to open around the booster 465 00:18:08,930 --> 00:18:06,960 now in these last few minutes before t0 466 00:18:11,150 --> 00:18:08,940 Falcon 9 is performing final hell checks 467 00:18:12,890 --> 00:18:11,160 on its primary Communications avionics 468 00:18:14,990 --> 00:18:12,900 and propulsion systems in preparation 469 00:18:17,090 --> 00:18:15,000 for flight and we may hear callouts the 470 00:18:22,010 --> 00:18:17,100 engines are sufficiently chilled as we 471 00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:24,409 clamp arm should be fully open and the 472 00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:26,280 transporter erector that strong back is 473 00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:35,390 now you may have noticed in some of 474 00:18:39,289 --> 00:18:37,080 these shots the Falcon 9 booster 475 00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:39,299 supporting today's mission is covered in 476 00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,860 quite a bit of soot and that is because 477 00:18:47,390 --> 00:18:43,039 the previously supported NASA crew 5 478 00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:47,400 gps3 space vehicle 6 in marsat 6f2 and 479 00:18:59,450 --> 00:18:57,049 and you can see that strong back slowly 480 00:19:04,310 --> 00:18:59,460 reclining away from the vehicle stage 481 00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:06,409 will bring about seven thousand pounds 482 00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:08,880 of Hardware crew supplies and science to 483 00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:10,860 the space station one research project 484 00:19:15,710 --> 00:19:13,200 will study the effects of space on human 485 00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:15,720 DNA another will study the effects on 486 00:19:20,270 --> 00:19:18,120 plant DNA findings from both could help 487 00:19:22,490 --> 00:19:20,280 us Advance things here on Earth but also 488 00:19:24,529 --> 00:19:22,500 prepare us for future farther missions 489 00:19:26,210 --> 00:19:24,539 into space 490 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:26,220 and dragon will be docked to the space 491 00:19:33,049 --> 00:19:27,840 station for about a month before 492 00:19:37,730 --> 00:19:35,630 now checkouts of the second stage thrust 493 00:19:40,669 --> 00:19:37,740 vector control actuators are now 494 00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:40,679 underway this is often referred to as an 495 00:19:46,010 --> 00:19:43,260 engine wiggle test this is when SpaceX 496 00:19:48,049 --> 00:19:46,020 moves the thrust nozzle slightly to make 497 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:48,059 sure the guidance Hardware is ready for 498 00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:53,390 SpaceX will do the exact same test on 499 00:20:12,289 --> 00:19:55,320 the first stage engines but that happens 500 00:20:16,010 --> 00:20:14,510 now dragon is also performing its final 501 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:16,020 health checks to make sure all of the 502 00:20:27,529 --> 00:20:25,789 call out that stage two locks loading is 503 00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:27,539 complete that wraps up pellet loading 504 00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:30,720 for both stages of the falcon 9. 505 00:20:33,770 --> 00:20:32,340 and as I mentioned earlier you may have 506 00:20:36,049 --> 00:20:33,780 seen those white clouds around the 507 00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:36,059 vehicle ground gas close up what you see 508 00:20:39,409 --> 00:20:37,380 are the chilled gas 509 00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:39,419 above the Lox tank liquid surface that 510 00:20:42,529 --> 00:20:41,039 we vent overboard and when that gas 511 00:20:44,210 --> 00:20:42,539 comes out in contact with the warm 512 00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:44,220 Florida Air the air condenses into 513 00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:49,789 now dragon is about to transition into 514 00:20:55,370 --> 00:20:53,280 internal power also Falcon 9 computers 515 00:20:58,130 --> 00:20:55,380 will then enter startup mode which is 516 00:21:00,350 --> 00:20:58,140 when the Falcon 9 flight computers take 517 00:21:02,090 --> 00:21:00,360 control of the countdown guiding the 518 00:21:03,710 --> 00:21:02,100 rocket through the last seconds before 519 00:21:05,270 --> 00:21:03,720 liftoff you should hear a call out about 520 00:21:07,430 --> 00:21:05,280 startup shortly 521 00:21:09,409 --> 00:21:07,440 Falcon 9 is in startup 522 00:21:11,390 --> 00:21:09,419 dragon is in countdown 523 00:21:14,270 --> 00:21:11,400 both stages are now pressurizing for 524 00:21:16,730 --> 00:21:14,280 launch at T-minus 45 seconds we'll hear 525 00:21:19,250 --> 00:21:16,740 the SpaceX launch director verify go for 526 00:21:22,490 --> 00:21:20,750 for lunch 527 00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:22,500 there you go and at launched the 528 00:21:27,529 --> 00:21:23,940 International Space Station will be 529 00:21:33,890 --> 00:21:27,539 flying 260 miles over the North Atlantic 530 00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:48,590 T-minus 30 seconds 531 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,970 15 seconds 532 00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:02,169 nine eight seven six five four three 533 00:22:10,850 --> 00:22:06,900 two one ignition engine full power and 534 00:22:14,090 --> 00:22:10,860 liftoff of crs-28 go falcon go dragon 535 00:22:16,190 --> 00:22:14,100 liftoff of about 7 000 pounds of science 536 00:22:45,470 --> 00:22:16,200 at the cargo 537 00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:48,169 at t plus 40 seconds Falcon 9 has 538 00:22:53,210 --> 00:22:49,980 successfully lifted off from historic 539 00:22:55,970 --> 00:22:53,220 launch complex 39a in Florida 540 00:22:57,649 --> 00:22:55,980 and we're now coming up on Max Q in 541 00:22:59,570 --> 00:22:57,659 about 20 seconds from now and this is 542 00:23:00,890 --> 00:22:59,580 the point of Maximum aerodynamic 543 00:23:07,149 --> 00:23:00,900 pressure that the vehicle will go 544 00:23:07,159 --> 00:23:14,930 traveling faster than the speed of sound 545 00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:19,070 that's cute 546 00:23:23,690 --> 00:23:20,810 and there you've heard the call out for 547 00:23:25,730 --> 00:23:23,700 Max Q coming up next are three events 548 00:23:27,890 --> 00:23:25,740 back to back the first of which is main 549 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:27,900 engine cutoff or Mikko and this is when 550 00:23:31,370 --> 00:23:30,000 all nine Merlin 1D engines on first 551 00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:31,380 stage shutdown 552 00:23:35,210 --> 00:23:33,360 after those nine engine shutdown the 553 00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:35,220 first and second stages will separate 554 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:36,960 and this is also called out over the 555 00:23:40,970 --> 00:23:39,120 Nets as stage separation 556 00:23:43,010 --> 00:23:40,980 from there the second stage will ignite 557 00:23:45,289 --> 00:23:43,020 its Merlin vacuum engine to boost Dragon 558 00:23:47,690 --> 00:23:45,299 to low earth orbit during SES or second 559 00:23:55,970 --> 00:23:47,700 engine start one and this whole sequence 560 00:23:59,630 --> 00:23:57,830 should be expecting that call out for 561 00:24:08,210 --> 00:23:59,640 main engine cut off in about 40 seconds 562 00:24:11,870 --> 00:24:10,190 some amazing views of our Falcon 9 563 00:24:26,029 --> 00:24:11,880 vehicle as it takes our Dragon 564 00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:27,890 and in just about 10 seconds we should 565 00:24:49,070 --> 00:24:41,810 Nico 566 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,690 in recognition 567 00:24:57,409 --> 00:24:55,310 and there you heard those call-outs and 568 00:24:59,810 --> 00:24:57,419 probably saw on your screen main engine 569 00:25:03,470 --> 00:24:59,820 cutoff followed by stage separation and 570 00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:05,510 as I mentioned earlier we are flying an 571 00:25:12,890 --> 00:25:08,760 mvac nozzle a shortened m-back nozzle on 572 00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:14,630 if you're just tuning in you're watching 573 00:25:18,409 --> 00:25:16,860 a live webcast for the 28th commercial 574 00:25:21,529 --> 00:25:18,419 resupply mission to the International 575 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:21,539 Space Station for NASA this is spacex's 576 00:25:26,090 --> 00:25:24,480 38th mission for 2023 and the Fourth 577 00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:26,100 Dragon flight to the International Space 578 00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:28,559 Station this year we lifted off from 579 00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:30,539 Kennedy Space Center's historic launch 580 00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:33,000 complex 39a just about three and a half 581 00:25:40,370 --> 00:25:38,570 now on your screen on the left side you 582 00:25:41,529 --> 00:25:40,380 can see our Falcon 9 first stage which 583 00:25:44,269 --> 00:25:41,539 is going to 584 00:25:45,649 --> 00:25:44,279 descend back towards Earth and the 585 00:25:47,149 --> 00:25:45,659 second stage on the right side of your 586 00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:47,159 screen which is carrying the dragon 587 00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:49,080 spacecraft 588 00:25:54,289 --> 00:25:51,960 now as a reminder today's Michigan fight 589 00:25:55,970 --> 00:25:54,299 for this Falcon 9 booster Falcon 9 590 00:25:59,630 --> 00:25:55,980 booster which previously supported the 591 00:26:04,490 --> 00:25:59,640 crew 5 gps3 space vehicle 6 in marsat 592 00:26:07,970 --> 00:26:05,990 in order to make its way back to our 593 00:26:10,190 --> 00:26:07,980 drone ship a shortfall of Gravitas the 594 00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:10,200 Falcon 9 first stage has two more Burns 595 00:26:14,570 --> 00:26:12,539 to execute the first is the entry burn 596 00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:14,580 where three of the Merlin engines will 597 00:26:17,630 --> 00:26:15,600 reignite 598 00:26:19,190 --> 00:26:17,640 this helps slow the stage down as it 599 00:26:21,950 --> 00:26:19,200 re-enters the upper part of the Earth's 600 00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:23,930 the entry burn is followed by The 601 00:26:27,710 --> 00:26:25,980 Landing burn and this is a single engine 602 00:26:29,570 --> 00:26:27,720 burn that brings the vehicle speed down 603 00:26:34,190 --> 00:26:29,580 rapidly in order to land on the Drone 604 00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:36,110 now occasionally with the Falcon 9 first 605 00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:37,440 stage on the left side of your screen 606 00:26:42,649 --> 00:26:40,260 you may see some small white Puffs and 607 00:26:45,470 --> 00:26:42,659 those are nitrogen gas bursts that are 608 00:26:47,690 --> 00:26:45,480 used for attitude control 609 00:26:49,730 --> 00:26:47,700 you can also see there on your screen a 610 00:26:51,169 --> 00:26:49,740 pair of the Hypersonic grid fins 611 00:26:52,610 --> 00:26:51,179 falconized is equipped with four of 612 00:26:54,409 --> 00:26:52,620 these grid fins which are comprised of 613 00:26:56,690 --> 00:26:54,419 titanium and they are positioned near 614 00:26:58,669 --> 00:26:56,700 the top of the first stage once in the 615 00:27:00,769 --> 00:26:58,679 atmosphere stage one is only using the 616 00:27:02,690 --> 00:27:00,779 grid fins for steering as it makes its 617 00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:02,700 return to Earth and these grid fins 618 00:27:15,529 --> 00:27:04,799 Orient the rocket during re-entry and 619 00:27:20,450 --> 00:27:17,870 now the Falcon 9 first stage has nine 620 00:27:24,769 --> 00:27:20,460 Merlin 1D engines and and each engine 621 00:27:27,289 --> 00:27:24,779 generates about 192 000 pounds of thrust 622 00:27:31,610 --> 00:27:27,299 on the second stage is the mbac engine 623 00:27:44,510 --> 00:27:34,070 and that uh and the vacuum engine 624 00:27:48,529 --> 00:27:46,669 next major Milestone is going to be the 625 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:48,539 first stage entry burn which will take 626 00:28:12,350 --> 00:28:01,010 there you can see an amazing view of our 627 00:28:15,830 --> 00:28:14,269 the Falcon 9 first stage which is not 628 00:28:17,810 --> 00:28:15,840 currently on your screen has reached 629 00:28:19,669 --> 00:28:17,820 apogee and is now beginning its descent 630 00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:19,679 back towards Earth 631 00:28:35,269 --> 00:28:21,840 the second stage is continuing to take 632 00:28:39,769 --> 00:28:37,370 we should see that first stage entry 633 00:29:09,830 --> 00:28:39,779 burn begin in about 15 seconds from now 634 00:29:13,310 --> 00:29:11,630 stage one entry second stage on the 635 00:29:15,230 --> 00:29:13,320 right side of your screen 636 00:29:16,850 --> 00:29:15,240 and there's that call out for stage one 637 00:29:18,529 --> 00:29:16,860 entry burn startup on the left side of 638 00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:18,539 your screen the second stage is 639 00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:20,159 continuing to take our Dragon spacecraft 640 00:29:27,769 --> 00:29:25,909 now again the entry burn is the first of 641 00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:27,779 two Burns that the Falcon 9 booster 642 00:29:30,950 --> 00:29:29,760 performs before landing on our drone 643 00:29:34,669 --> 00:29:30,960 ship 644 00:29:38,330 --> 00:29:36,470 and there's that confirmation of stage 645 00:29:40,190 --> 00:29:38,340 one entry burn shutdown 646 00:29:41,690 --> 00:29:40,200 as we get closer to First Stage Landing 647 00:29:43,130 --> 00:29:41,700 it's good to note that the Falcon 9 648 00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:43,140 first stage is equipped with four 649 00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:44,760 Landing legs made of state-of-the-art 650 00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:47,640 carbon fiber with aluminum honeycomb 651 00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:49,020 these Landing links are placed 652 00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:50,399 symmetrically around the base of the 653 00:29:53,210 --> 00:29:52,200 rocket and deployed just prior to 654 00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:53,220 Landing 655 00:29:57,710 --> 00:29:54,960 and if successful 656 00:29:59,149 --> 00:29:57,720 this Landing will Mark the 198th time 657 00:30:01,130 --> 00:29:59,159 that we've recovered a first stage 658 00:30:09,470 --> 00:30:01,140 booster including both Falcon 9 and 659 00:30:15,169 --> 00:30:11,810 we are about 25 seconds away from that 660 00:30:15,179 --> 00:30:19,490 stage when transonic 661 00:30:22,850 --> 00:30:21,230 now as the rocket descends through the 662 00:30:24,889 --> 00:30:22,860 Earth's atmosphere this really puts 663 00:30:26,210 --> 00:30:24,899 deceleration into perspective in the 664 00:30:27,830 --> 00:30:26,220 span of less than a minute will have 665 00:30:29,930 --> 00:30:27,840 reduced from twice the speed of a jet 666 00:30:31,250 --> 00:30:29,940 all the way down to zero as the rocket 667 00:30:35,630 --> 00:30:31,260 lands 668 00:30:46,130 --> 00:30:35,640 call out that the second engine will 669 00:30:46,140 --> 00:31:02,570 Patron Landing burn 670 00:31:02,580 --> 00:31:10,730 planting like deploy 671 00:31:15,169 --> 00:31:12,310 stage one lightning 672 00:31:16,430 --> 00:31:15,179 and and there you have it the Falcon 9 673 00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,440 first stage that supported today's 674 00:31:21,169 --> 00:31:18,480 Mission has landed for its fifth time 675 00:31:24,529 --> 00:31:21,179 having previously supported crew 5 gps3 676 00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:24,539 space vehicle 6 in marsat 6f2 and a 677 00:31:29,090 --> 00:31:26,640 starlink mission today's Landing also 678 00:31:31,190 --> 00:31:29,100 marks the 198th successful Landing for 679 00:31:33,470 --> 00:31:31,200 an orbital class rocket you may have 680 00:31:36,649 --> 00:31:33,480 also heard confirmation of good orbit 681 00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:36,659 acquisition signal to Finland 682 00:31:40,970 --> 00:31:38,640 at t plus nine minutes and 30 seconds 683 00:31:43,549 --> 00:31:40,980 into the mission we are coming up on the 684 00:31:45,470 --> 00:31:43,559 last major task for stage two commanding 685 00:31:48,049 --> 00:31:45,480 separation of dragon a couple minutes 686 00:31:50,149 --> 00:31:48,059 from now and we expect to have video of 687 00:31:55,549 --> 00:31:50,159 Dragon separation from the top of the 688 00:31:59,870 --> 00:31:57,950 crs-28 will be joining the crew 6 689 00:32:01,130 --> 00:31:59,880 vehicle currently on orbit I could also 690 00:32:03,950 --> 00:32:01,140 we'll be back to having two dragon 691 00:32:06,590 --> 00:32:03,960 spacecraft two dragon spacecraft docked 692 00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:06,600 at the International Space Station 693 00:32:11,149 --> 00:32:09,120 as for cargo today we will be delivering 694 00:32:13,490 --> 00:32:11,159 more than 7 000 pounds of science 695 00:32:15,409 --> 00:32:13,500 research crew supplies and vehicle 696 00:32:16,730 --> 00:32:15,419 Hardware to the orbital laboratory and 697 00:32:18,769 --> 00:32:16,740 its crew 698 00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:18,779 to date SpaceX has sent and brought back 699 00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:22,080 over 280 000 pounds of crew and cargo to 700 00:32:39,769 --> 00:32:37,730 and we should be seeing Dragon 701 00:32:43,310 --> 00:32:39,779 separation about a minute and a half 702 00:32:46,909 --> 00:32:45,470 as a reminder this is the fourth flight 703 00:32:50,570 --> 00:32:46,919 for this Dragon capsule having 704 00:32:53,510 --> 00:32:50,580 previously supported crs-21 crs-23 and 705 00:32:56,210 --> 00:32:53,520 CRS 25 to the space station 706 00:33:01,850 --> 00:32:56,220 today's flight also marks the 20th reuse 707 00:33:06,169 --> 00:33:04,370 now dragon has 16 Draco thrusters on 708 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:06,179 board each with the capability to 709 00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:08,640 deliver 90 pounds of force there are 710 00:33:12,590 --> 00:33:10,799 four pairs of three thrusters spaced 711 00:33:14,210 --> 00:33:12,600 evenly around the capsule as well as 712 00:33:16,130 --> 00:33:14,220 four forward bulkhead thrusters 713 00:33:18,169 --> 00:33:16,140 underneath the nose cone 714 00:33:20,509 --> 00:33:18,179 now notably today's Dragon does not have 715 00:33:22,490 --> 00:33:20,519 super Draco thrusters seats or life 716 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:22,500 support systems as it's not carrying 717 00:33:26,330 --> 00:33:24,720 crew and this saves on weight and space 718 00:33:34,130 --> 00:33:26,340 and also allows for a faster 719 00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:36,289 while initial designs of dragon carried 720 00:33:40,190 --> 00:33:38,159 solar arrays extended outward from the 721 00:33:42,889 --> 00:33:40,200 trunk the cylindrical structure located 722 00:33:44,570 --> 00:33:42,899 directly behind the Dragon capsule 723 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:44,580 the current dragon has these arrays 724 00:33:48,169 --> 00:33:46,559 fixed directly to the trunk and you may 725 00:33:49,850 --> 00:33:48,179 see at some point both a light and the 726 00:33:51,470 --> 00:33:49,860 dark side of the trunk and that dark 727 00:33:53,269 --> 00:33:51,480 side is actually those solar panels 728 00:33:59,330 --> 00:33:53,279 while the light side is a radiator to 729 00:34:03,230 --> 00:34:01,490 and speaking of solar panels uh you can 730 00:34:04,970 --> 00:34:03,240 see on your screen right now the solar 731 00:34:08,149 --> 00:34:04,980 panels that we will install on the 732 00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:10,369 once the Dragon capsule reaches the ISS 733 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:12,240 it will be able to autonomously dock 734 00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:14,399 using its navigation sensors Center Line 735 00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:16,260 camera and light detection and ranging 736 00:34:19,550 --> 00:34:17,940 or lidar equipment 737 00:34:23,329 --> 00:34:19,560 and there you can see on your screen 738 00:34:25,010 --> 00:34:23,339 dragons separating from the second stage 739 00:34:26,990 --> 00:34:25,020 well that's going to do it for me here 740 00:34:30,050 --> 00:34:27,000 in Hawthorne have your next Milestone 741 00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:30,060 coming up is the is the dragon nose cone 742 00:34:34,190 --> 00:34:31,280 opening sequence 743 00:34:36,169 --> 00:34:34,200 and navigational sensors 744 00:34:39,970 --> 00:34:36,179 and I'll toss it over to Shaniqua in 745 00:34:42,530 --> 00:34:39,980 Houston to talk us through it Shaniqua 746 00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:42,540 thanks Zach everything is still going 747 00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:43,679 well back here in Mission Control 748 00:34:47,930 --> 00:34:45,839 Houston right after a dragon separated 749 00:34:49,909 --> 00:34:47,940 it began a series of automatic checkouts 750 00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:49,919 including small firings of the Draco 751 00:34:54,589 --> 00:34:52,200 maneuvering thrusters the next Milestone 752 00:34:56,270 --> 00:34:54,599 is no scone deploy the nose cone 753 00:34:58,550 --> 00:34:56,280 protects that docking hardware and 754 00:35:01,190 --> 00:34:58,560 Rendezvous and tracking elements on top 755 00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:01,200 of dragon during a set the nose cone 756 00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:02,640 deploy uncovers the four forward 757 00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:05,880 bulkhead thrusters which Dragon will use 758 00:35:10,430 --> 00:35:08,760 for its major burn maneuvers 759 00:35:13,790 --> 00:35:10,440 and we do have confirmation that that 760 00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:13,800 nose cone deploy sequence has begun 761 00:35:20,510 --> 00:35:17,220 again major burn Maneuvers will be 762 00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:20,520 dragon nose cone deploy uncovers those 763 00:35:24,770 --> 00:35:22,320 uh major Hardware 764 00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:24,780 it will also uncover Dragon Eyes that 765 00:35:28,730 --> 00:35:26,400 Rendezvous and tracking Hardware that 766 00:35:30,770 --> 00:35:28,740 allows Dragon to know where it is in 767 00:35:32,990 --> 00:35:30,780 space and how to find the space station 768 00:35:34,970 --> 00:35:33,000 once opened the nose cone will stay in 769 00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:34,980 that position until the very end of its 770 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:37,200 Mission closing prior to re-entry to 771 00:35:41,030 --> 00:35:38,400 provide some of that additional 772 00:35:42,349 --> 00:35:41,040 protection to the same Hardware during 773 00:35:44,569 --> 00:35:42,359 re-entry 774 00:35:47,210 --> 00:35:44,579 it does take about five minutes for a 775 00:35:49,609 --> 00:35:47,220 nose cone to open we are looking for 12 776 00:35:52,370 --> 00:35:49,619 hooks two sets of six that will open 777 00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:52,380 here and once open we will see the nose 778 00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:00,530 again that sequence has begun 779 00:36:04,370 --> 00:36:02,940 and we'll be waiting to hear once all 12 780 00:36:06,530 --> 00:36:04,380 hooks are open 781 00:36:09,589 --> 00:36:06,540 and we will see movement of the nose 782 00:36:12,410 --> 00:36:09,599 cone as all 12 hooks open after nose 783 00:36:14,390 --> 00:36:12,420 cone deploy is Cargo Dragon will be 784 00:36:18,530 --> 00:36:14,400 safely on its way to their actual Space 785 00:36:22,190 --> 00:36:20,329 if you're just joining us NASA and 786 00:36:25,010 --> 00:36:22,200 spacex's 28th commercial resupply 787 00:36:27,890 --> 00:36:25,020 Mission launched from pad 39a at the 788 00:36:30,890 --> 00:36:27,900 Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 10 47 789 00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:30,900 a.m Central Time 11 47 a.m eastern time 790 00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:33,660 and is currently in orbit we're standing 791 00:36:41,569 --> 00:36:39,829 dragon is filled with over seven 792 00:36:43,310 --> 00:36:41,579 thousand pounds of cargo and supplies 793 00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:43,320 including a variety of science 794 00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:45,780 investigations hardware and Fresh Foods 795 00:36:49,370 --> 00:36:47,640 for the crew on station 796 00:36:52,250 --> 00:36:49,380 some of those Fresh Foods that will be 797 00:36:55,609 --> 00:36:52,260 delivered include apples grapefruits 798 00:36:57,470 --> 00:36:55,619 oranges cherry tomatoes and blueberries 799 00:36:59,930 --> 00:36:57,480 Dragon will dock to the Zenith or 800 00:37:02,329 --> 00:36:59,940 space-facing side of the harmony module 801 00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:02,339 just recently freed up by Dragon Freedom 802 00:37:07,790 --> 00:37:05,460 which brought up the Axiom 2 crew 803 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:07,800 the Axiom 2 crew aboard the SpaceX 804 00:37:12,650 --> 00:37:09,839 Dragon Freedom spacecraft safely slashed 805 00:37:16,250 --> 00:37:12,660 down off the coast of Florida at 1004 PM 806 00:37:17,690 --> 00:37:16,260 Central Time 1104 PM Eastern on May 30th 807 00:37:19,790 --> 00:37:17,700 2023. 808 00:37:21,770 --> 00:37:19,800 the crew's return officially concluded 809 00:37:24,589 --> 00:37:21,780 the second all-private astronaut mission 810 00:37:27,470 --> 00:37:24,599 to the International Space Station 811 00:37:29,630 --> 00:37:27,480 Axiom 2 commander and retired NASA 812 00:37:32,109 --> 00:37:29,640 astronaut Peggy Whitson ended her 813 00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:32,119 eight-day Mission with a new record of 814 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:35,040 675 days in space 815 00:37:40,730 --> 00:37:38,160 the most of any American or woman 816 00:37:42,829 --> 00:37:40,740 and while we're discussing records NASA 817 00:37:44,569 --> 00:37:42,839 astronaut Frank Rubio will end his 818 00:37:46,970 --> 00:37:44,579 mission this fall breaking a record of 819 00:37:49,430 --> 00:37:46,980 his own Rubio will return to Earth 820 00:37:52,490 --> 00:37:49,440 aboard a Russian soyuz spacecraft no 821 00:37:54,109 --> 00:37:52,500 earlier than September 27th and in his 822 00:37:57,170 --> 00:37:54,119 stay aboard the orbiting laboratory 823 00:37:59,150 --> 00:37:57,180 having logged a total of at least 371 824 00:38:01,069 --> 00:37:59,160 days in orbit 825 00:38:05,329 --> 00:38:01,079 that tour of Duty will beat the previous 826 00:38:08,510 --> 00:38:05,339 record of 355 days set by NASA astronaut 827 00:38:10,730 --> 00:38:08,520 Mark vandehe in 2022. 828 00:38:12,890 --> 00:38:10,740 joining Rubio on station are six other 829 00:38:15,109 --> 00:38:12,900 crew members living and working aboard 830 00:38:17,990 --> 00:38:15,119 the National Space Station 831 00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:18,000 Expedition 69 also includes Dimitri 832 00:38:23,150 --> 00:38:21,119 patelan from Ross Cosmos sotan arayi 833 00:38:26,569 --> 00:38:23,160 from the United Arab Emirates 834 00:38:29,150 --> 00:38:26,579 Woody hoberg and Stephen Bowen of NASA 835 00:38:33,710 --> 00:38:29,160 Andre fredierev and Commander Sergey 836 00:38:37,970 --> 00:38:35,810 All crew members are awake and after 837 00:38:40,190 --> 00:38:37,980 enjoying a midday meal some are headed 838 00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:40,200 to exercise while others are headed to 839 00:38:50,329 --> 00:38:48,050 NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody 840 00:38:52,730 --> 00:38:50,339 hoberg are prepping for a June 9th 841 00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:52,740 spacewalk to install one of two new 842 00:38:58,490 --> 00:38:54,720 rollout solar arrays on the space 843 00:39:00,890 --> 00:38:58,500 station starboard side trust structure 844 00:39:03,050 --> 00:39:00,900 this cargo resupply will bring up two 845 00:39:06,050 --> 00:39:03,060 new rollout solar arrays packed inside 846 00:39:11,690 --> 00:39:06,060 its unpressurized trunk 847 00:39:15,710 --> 00:39:14,030 and again if you're just joining us we 848 00:39:22,430 --> 00:39:15,720 are currently waiting on nose cone 849 00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:24,470 that sequence has begun just a few 850 00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:26,760 minutes ago and it does take about five 851 00:39:36,069 --> 00:39:29,880 minutes for the nose cone to fully 852 00:39:41,870 --> 00:39:39,290 after confirmation of nose cone that the 853 00:39:43,609 --> 00:39:41,880 nose cone has been deployed we will have 854 00:39:45,650 --> 00:39:43,619 a special guest to join me for a quick 855 00:39:47,450 --> 00:39:45,660 interview 856 00:39:49,370 --> 00:39:47,460 he will talk a little more on what 857 00:40:00,910 --> 00:39:49,380 dragon is bringing up and its benefits 858 00:40:05,329 --> 00:40:03,050 and back here in the National Space 859 00:40:07,790 --> 00:40:05,339 Station room flight control room while 860 00:40:10,849 --> 00:40:07,800 we are waiting for that nose cone to 861 00:40:13,190 --> 00:40:10,859 officially be fully deployed 862 00:40:14,990 --> 00:40:13,200 we will have flight controllers 863 00:40:17,150 --> 00:40:15,000 that are monitoring the systems on 864 00:40:23,569 --> 00:40:17,160 station itself ahead of dragon's arrival 865 00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:25,849 yeah 866 00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:28,200 again once the nose cone is fully 867 00:40:33,410 --> 00:40:30,480 deployed 868 00:40:34,130 --> 00:40:33,420 we will have dragon cargo dragon on its 869 00:40:38,150 --> 00:40:34,140 way 870 00:40:42,410 --> 00:40:40,069 once Dragon does cross that approach 871 00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:42,420 ellipsoid which is that mythical spear 872 00:40:45,349 --> 00:40:44,220 around the space station flight 873 00:40:47,990 --> 00:40:45,359 controllers here in Mission Control 874 00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:48,000 Houston will begin joint operations with 875 00:40:56,329 --> 00:40:53,990 again we will have NASA astronauts Frank 876 00:40:58,370 --> 00:40:56,339 Rubio in Woody hoberg who will be 877 00:40:59,690 --> 00:40:58,380 monitoring the approach and arrival of 878 00:41:02,450 --> 00:40:59,700 dragon 879 00:41:05,569 --> 00:41:02,460 with a plain docking time on Tuesday 880 00:41:11,210 --> 00:41:05,579 morning at 4 50 a.m Central Time 5 50 881 00:41:15,170 --> 00:41:13,310 once cargo dragon is docked to the 882 00:41:17,270 --> 00:41:15,180 station Rubio and hoberg will begin 883 00:41:18,589 --> 00:41:17,280 hatch operations to open the hatches 884 00:41:29,470 --> 00:41:18,599 between the International Space Station 885 00:41:34,609 --> 00:41:31,670 and again this is live Mission 886 00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:34,619 operations of the crs-28 resupply 887 00:41:38,810 --> 00:41:35,880 mission to the International Space 888 00:41:40,670 --> 00:41:38,820 Station if you are just joining us we 889 00:41:48,349 --> 00:41:40,680 are currently waiting on the nose cone 890 00:42:15,970 --> 00:41:50,450 and we currently see that nose cone 891 00:42:51,670 --> 00:42:19,010 and we have confirmation of nose cone 892 00:42:57,230 --> 00:42:54,410 and there we have it we have nose cone 893 00:42:59,089 --> 00:42:57,240 confirmation of deployment 894 00:43:00,410 --> 00:42:59,099 and now joining me on the phone is 895 00:43:02,150 --> 00:43:00,420 manager of the International Space 896 00:43:05,930 --> 00:43:02,160 Station transportation and integration 897 00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:05,940 office Phil Dempsey hi Phil 898 00:43:11,030 --> 00:43:08,640 hey Shaniqua 899 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:11,040 thanks for joining me and as we get into 900 00:43:15,890 --> 00:43:13,200 it can you outline the major activities 901 00:43:17,569 --> 00:43:15,900 for the crew with crs-28 I know we 902 00:43:19,309 --> 00:43:17,579 talked some of what's being brought up 903 00:43:21,230 --> 00:43:19,319 but can you go a little more in depth 904 00:43:24,770 --> 00:43:21,240 for us 905 00:43:26,690 --> 00:43:24,780 sure the uh during this Mission there's 906 00:43:29,150 --> 00:43:26,700 uh quite a bit of research that has to 907 00:43:31,849 --> 00:43:29,160 be done so the crew will start you know 908 00:43:34,010 --> 00:43:31,859 unloading the the cargo Dragon they'll 909 00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:34,020 be actually quite a bit of research 910 00:43:38,150 --> 00:43:36,480 that's done in time to complete it and 911 00:43:40,370 --> 00:43:38,160 return those samples to the ground at 912 00:43:43,190 --> 00:43:40,380 the end of this documentation as well as 913 00:43:44,930 --> 00:43:43,200 that we're carrying up some irosis uh 914 00:43:46,910 --> 00:43:44,940 external solar rays that has to be 915 00:43:50,290 --> 00:43:46,920 installed with a couple of Evas during 916 00:43:55,250 --> 00:43:53,510 of course and these resupply missions 917 00:43:57,290 --> 00:43:55,260 just like you mentioned are delivering 918 00:43:59,750 --> 00:43:57,300 science hardware and other cargo to the 919 00:44:02,690 --> 00:43:59,760 station I know one key delivery on 920 00:44:04,730 --> 00:44:02,700 crs-28 includes a pair of ISS rollout 921 00:44:06,530 --> 00:44:04,740 solar rays can you discuss what the plan 922 00:44:09,410 --> 00:44:06,540 is for these arrays and what the 923 00:44:12,290 --> 00:44:09,420 importance is for station 924 00:44:14,990 --> 00:44:12,300 yeah absolutely so as you know the Isis 925 00:44:16,910 --> 00:44:15,000 program is extending operations to 2030. 926 00:44:19,250 --> 00:44:16,920 the robustness of the vehicle has been 927 00:44:21,890 --> 00:44:19,260 one of the key factors in our ability to 928 00:44:23,870 --> 00:44:21,900 do so one thing we've seen is expected 929 00:44:26,510 --> 00:44:23,880 degradation of solar array performance 930 00:44:28,309 --> 00:44:26,520 over time so these are roses will enable 931 00:44:30,950 --> 00:44:28,319 us to get back to beginning of Life 932 00:44:33,410 --> 00:44:30,960 power levels with this pair on the 933 00:44:35,870 --> 00:44:33,420 SpaceX 28 Mission we'll have augmented 934 00:44:37,490 --> 00:44:35,880 six of our eight horror channels further 935 00:44:39,290 --> 00:44:37,500 enabling the ISS program to continue 936 00:44:41,089 --> 00:44:39,300 full research utilization without 937 00:44:43,510 --> 00:44:41,099 interruption that's why we're here in 938 00:44:46,609 --> 00:44:43,520 the first place 939 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:46,619 thank you and as always I know it's a 940 00:44:49,970 --> 00:44:48,240 busy time aboard the International Space 941 00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:49,980 Station with cargo vehicles coming and 942 00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:52,500 going and multiple planned spacewalks 943 00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:54,720 how complex will the next few months be 944 00:44:58,609 --> 00:44:56,520 for the station program and the global 945 00:45:00,349 --> 00:44:58,619 partnership 946 00:45:01,849 --> 00:45:00,359 sure well there's always there's a lot 947 00:45:03,890 --> 00:45:01,859 going on you know first we have the 948 00:45:05,690 --> 00:45:03,900 spacewalk to install the eye roses which 949 00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:05,700 I just mentioned those are actually some 950 00:45:10,069 --> 00:45:07,440 of the most complex that our crew 951 00:45:12,230 --> 00:45:10,079 performs not long after completing those 952 00:45:14,870 --> 00:45:12,240 we're looking forward to the ng-19 cargo 953 00:45:17,150 --> 00:45:14,880 resupply Mission later this summer I 954 00:45:19,490 --> 00:45:17,160 bring up more critical supplies and and 955 00:45:21,530 --> 00:45:19,500 research and then we're not too far away 956 00:45:23,510 --> 00:45:21,540 from the next crew rotation missions on 957 00:45:25,550 --> 00:45:23,520 both the SpaceX crew dragon and the 958 00:45:27,890 --> 00:45:25,560 soyuz spacecraft so we're definitely 959 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:27,900 looking at some complex choreography but 960 00:45:32,150 --> 00:45:29,520 we've got an extremely capable teams 961 00:45:34,670 --> 00:45:32,160 across
