HOUSTON, TEXAS, WHERE TEAMS

13
00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:31,197
TODAY ARE MONITORING THE ARRIVAL

14
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:34,801

LEAD FLIGHT DIRECTOR FOR THE

17
00:00:40,173 --> 00:00:47,213
CYGNUS MISSION IS RICK LA BROAD,

18
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:57,524
AND MEGAN LEVINS IS THE CAPCOM

19
00:00:57,524 --> 00:01:00,527
COMMUNICATOR, WHO IS

20
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:04,230

21
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:04,798
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.

22
00:01:04,798 --> 00:01:05,398
>> ALL OF THE CONTROL CENTERS

23
00:01:05,398 --> 00:01:05,765
ARE STANDING BY.

24
00:01:05,765 --> 00:01:07,133
SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR

25
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:08,668
QUESTIONS FOR US, BUT WE HAVE

26
00:01:08,668 --> 00:01:11,838
NOTHING FOR YOU THIS MORNING.

27
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:13,873
>> WE DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

28
00:01:13,873 --> 00:01:18,878
OR COMMENTS FOR THE PODS OR THE

OUTER CENTERS.

30
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:22,382
HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE A REQUEST

31
00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:29,289
FOR HOUSTON, AND THIS COMES FROM

32
00:01:29,289 --> 00:01:29,456
ME.

33
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:36,496
THIS MORNING, WE ARE IMPACTED BY

34
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:39,132
JESSICA'S E-MAIL, AND THIS HAS

35
00:01:39,132 --> 00:01:47,574
BEEN A VERY, VERY CONTINUOUS

36
00:01:47,574 --> 00:01:47,841
INSTANCE.

37
00:01:47,841 --> 00:01:50,877
SO AT ONE POINT, I THINK I WOULD

38
00:01:50,877 --> 00:01:53,880
LIKE HOUSTON TO ROLL EVERYBODY

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,582

00:01:55,582 --> 00:01:58,184
SYSTEM OR THE 90 DAY

41
00:01:58,184 --> 00:02:01,855
NOTIFICATION SO THAT EVERYBODY

42
00:02:01,855 --> 00:02:03,857
CAN LOOK AT THEIR E-MAIL AND NOT

43
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:05,825
BE IMPACTED OPERATIONALLY AND

44
00:02:05,825 --> 00:02:07,594
LET US KNOW WHEN YOU CAN DO

45
00:02:07,594 --> 00:02:07,861

BOARD ALL THE PROCEDURES FOR

53
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:27,113
CYGNUS' ARRIVAL.

54
00:02:27,113 --> 00:02:28,882
CYGNUS IS SCHEDULED TO BE

55
00:02:28,882 --> 00:02:51,070
CAPTURED AT 3:00 A.M. LOCAL

56
00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:54,007
TIME.

57
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:56,643
THIS IS THE NORTHROP GRUMMAN

58
00:02:56,643 --> 00:02:59,245
MISSION CONTROL CENTER IN

59
00:02:59,245 --> 00:03:02,549
DULLES, VIRGINIA WHERE THEY ARE

60
00:03:02,549 --> 00:03:04,684
MONITORING EVERYTHING ON CYGNUS

61
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:08,988
AND ARE IN COMMUNICATION WITH

62
00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:43,590
NASA MISSION CONTROL.

63
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:45,959
CYGNUS CONTINUES TO MAKE ITS

64
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:47,193
APPROACH TOWARDS THE

65
00:03:47,193 --> 00:03:48,928
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.

66
00:03:48,928 --> 00:03:53,099
IT RECENTLY CROSSED THE APPROACH

67
00:03:53,099 --> 00:03:55,335
ELLIPSOID, AND UPON CROSSING

68
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:57,136
THAT, JOINT COMMUNICATIONS BEGAN

69
00:03:57,136 --> 00:04:01,007
BETWEEN NORTHROP GRUMMAN AND

70
00:04:01,007 --> 00:04:01,207
NASA.

71
00:04:01,207 --> 00:04:04,077
THE CYGNUS IS NOW AT THE 400

72
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:04,978
METER POINT.

73
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:07,013
IT HAS SEVERAL CHECK TO SEE GO

74
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:11,184
THROUGH BEFORE WE SEE THE

75
00:04:11,184 --> 00:04:20,026
GRAPPLE BY THE CANADARM2.

76
00:04:20,026 --> 00:04:21,828
CYGNUS WILL CROSS THE KEEPOUT

77
00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:24,464
SPHERE, JUST AN INVISIBLE LINE

78
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:26,766
AROUND THE SPACE STATION AT 200

79
00:04:26,766 --> 00:04:27,400
METERS.

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,301
EVENTUALLY, IT WILL REACH

81
00:04:28,301 --> 00:04:31,170
ANOTHER 30-METER HOLD POINT.

82
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:33,139
TEAMS WILL RUN A CHECK ON CYGNUS

83
00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:35,141
SYSTEMS, WORKING WITH THE TEAMS

84
00:04:35,141 --> 00:04:36,309
ON NORTHROP GRUMMAN'S MISSION

85

CONTROL CENTER, AND ONCE

86
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,478
EVERYTHING IS DETERMINED TO BE

87
00:04:38,478 --> 00:04:40,213
ON TRACK, NORTHROP GRUMMAN WILL

88
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:42,782
GIVE THEIR GO, AND CYGNUS WILL

89
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:53,026
DEPART THE 30-METER HOLD POINT.

90
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:56,229
AFTER DEPARTING THE 30-METER

91
00:04:56,229 --> 00:04:57,930
HOLD POINT, CYGNUS WILL MOVE TO

92
00:04:57,930 --> 00:05:00,166
ABOUT 10 TO 12 METERS AWAY FROM

93
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:02,935
THE STATION.

94
00:05:02,935 --> 00:05:04,504
THAT'S THE CAPTURE POINT, AT

95
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:07,407
WHICH THE CANADARM2 WILL BE USED

96
00:05:07,407 --> 00:05:08,474
TO REACH OUT AND GRAPPLE THE

TEAMS ON THE GROUND, THE

101
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:23,256
ROBOTICS CONTROLLER, AND HE WILL

102
00:05:23,256 --> 00:05:36,202
USE THE CANADARM2 TO ALIGN THE

103
00:05:36,202 --> 00:05:38,771
CRAFT AND BERTH IT WITH THE

104
00:05:38,771 --> 00:06:39,932

IN THE INDIAN OCEAN.

132
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:28,868
IT'S TAKEN CYGNUS ABOUT TWO DAYS

133
00:09:28,868 --> 00:09:30,136
TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU

134
00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:30,937
SEE IT NOW.

135
00:09:30,937 --> 00:09:33,739

140
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:46,352
YOU CAN SEE CYGNUS LIFTING OFF

141
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:55,394

IN THE CLOUDS NOW BELOW CYGNUS,

166
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:36,922
AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE

167
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:45,798
