good morning it's Monday November 4th

3
00:00:19,190 --> 00:00:23,480
and we're starting the week off with the

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,130
arrival of the Northup Grumman Cygnus

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,820
spacecraft to the International Space

6
00:00:25,130 --> 00:00:31,430
Station this live view from the orbiting

7
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:33,410
laboratory itself shows Cygnus position

8
00:00:31,430 --> 00:00:36,290
just outside the earth-facing side of

9
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:38,450
the station's unity module teams here

10
00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:39,850
are about an hour ahead of schedule for

11
00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:42,140
berthing Cygnus to the space station

12
00:00:39,850 --> 00:00:45,410
following an on-time capture this

13
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:48,199
morning at 4:10 a.m. Eastern Time as the

14
00:00:45,410 --> 00:00:59,600
space station was flying 259 statute

15
00:00:48,199 --> 00:01:01,969
miles over Madagascar we're live from

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,489

17
00:01:01,969 --> 00:01:06,530
control room in Houston Texas where the

18
00:01:04,489 --> 00:01:08,420
canadarm2 is currently being commanded

19
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:11,720
by robotics flight controllers here on

20
00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:14,660
the ground you can see all of the flight

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,399
controllers here in the room they're

22
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:19,310
monitoring all of the systems aboard the

23

27
00:01:39,369 --> 00:01:45,009
cygnus arrives today with over 4 tons of

28
00:01:42,909 --> 00:01:46,600
crew supplies hardware and other

29
00:01:45,009 --> 00:01:50,170
equipment for the International Space

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:53,460
Station this is the largest payload

31
00:01:50,170 --> 00:01:53,460
Cygnus has carried to date

32
00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:08,880
for a breakdown of some of the equipment

33
00:02:06,180 --> 00:02:12,390
aboard the Cygnus resupply craft you can

34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,610
see there are over 1761 pounds of crew

35
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:16,320
supplies utilization there that's

36
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:18,420
science experiments and associated

37
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,900
hardware weighing over four thousand two

38
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:24,170
hundred and forty two supplies this

39
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:26,940
Cygnus cargo craft also brings the

40
00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:29,070
remainder of the tools that will be used

41
00:02:26,940 --> 00:02:31,020
during the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer

42
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:33,780
spacewalks scheduled for later this

43
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:37,800
month and that's 203 pounds of spacewalk

44
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:40,350
equipment another 1561 pounds of vehicle

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:52,290
and system hardware and another 31

46
00:02:40,350 --> 00:02:53,820
pounds of computer resources the

47
00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:56,610
International Space Station is currently

48
00:02:53,820 --> 00:02:59,070
flying 267 statute miles over the Indian

49
00:02:56,610 --> 00:03:01,530
Ocean and you can see Cygnus there at

50
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:06,480
the end of the canadarm2 with its ultra

51
00:03:01,530 --> 00:03:08,730
flex solar arrays extended NASA

52
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,190
astronaut Jessica Muir backed up by NASA

53
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:13,800
astronaut christina cook captured Cygnus

54
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:17,810
this morning on time at 3:10 a.m.

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,810
central for 10:00 a.m. Eastern

56
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:28,099
after the

57
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:30,469
after the cargo resupply craft controls

58
00:03:28,099 --> 00:03:31,909
of the canadarm2 were turned over to the

59
00:03:30,469 --> 00:03:34,370
robotics flight controllers here on the

60
00:03:31,909 --> 00:03:36,829
ground who have since used the canid arm

61
00:03:34,370 --> 00:03:38,930
to to reposition the spacecraft bring it

62
00:03:36,829 --> 00:03:42,129
up to the station's unity module where

63
00:03:38,930 --> 00:03:42,129
you see it positions now

64
00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:01,220
man's come from the ground to the

65
00:03:58,849 --> 00:04:03,170
robotic arm you'll see cygnus move in

66
00:04:01,220 --> 00:04:06,579
very small increments while the team to

67
00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:08,780
perform alignment checks along the way

68
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:11,060
some of those checks have already been

69
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:14,510
conducted this morning including using

70
00:04:11,060 --> 00:04:16,669
cameras to ensure that the vehicle the

71
00:04:14,510 --> 00:04:26,389
Cygnus spacecraft itself is clear of any

72
00:04:16,669 --> 00:04:28,760
foreign object debris once Cygnus makes

73
00:04:26,389 --> 00:04:30,919
contact with the unity module it will be

74
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,199
attached with four latches and it will

75
00:04:30,919 --> 00:04:35,330
appear firmly attached at that point but

76
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:37,580
birthing itself will be confirmed after

77
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:41,260
an additional 16 bolts have created an

78
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:41,260
even firmer hold on the vehicle

79
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:07,480
we're in a short satellite handover

80
00:05:04,990 --> 00:05:08,650
period and we will regain communication

81
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,430
with the international space station

82
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:11,430
shortly

83
00:06:06,590 --> 00:06:11,960
all the Cygnus vehicles are named after

84
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:13,790
people who have made significant

85
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,680
contributions to spaceflight and this

86
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:19,910
one is named after Apollo and Skylab

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:25,669
astronaut who died on May 26 2018 that's

88
00:06:19,910 --> 00:06:28,970
Alan bean Cygnus launched on November

89
00:06:25,669 --> 00:06:30,889
2nd 2019 50 years to the month after

90
00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:32,840
Alan bean Pete Conrad and dick Gordon

91
00:06:30,889 --> 00:06:36,590
flew to the moon on the Apollo 12

92
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:37,970
mission on that mission bean became the

93
00:06:36,590 --> 00:06:39,770
fourth human to walk on the lunar

94
00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:41,900
surface and he was the lunar module

95
00:06:39,770 --> 00:06:43,760
pilot aboard intrepid with mission

96
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:46,010
commander Conrad when they landed at the

97
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:51,020
ocean of storms on the moon on November

98
00:06:46,010 --> 00:06:53,120
19th and 1969 four years later he also

99
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:55,669
commanded the second crewed Skylab

100
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:02,810
mission Skylab 3 which launched on July

101
00:06:55,669 --> 00:07:04,820
28 1973 he along with Owen Garriott and

102
00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:08,630
Jack Lew's must spent 59 days in space

103
00:07:04,820 --> 00:07:12,010
aboard America's first space station now

104
00:07:08,630 --> 00:07:14,000
his name flies again aboard Cygnus

105
00:07:12,010 --> 00:07:17,229
arriving at America and the

106
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,229
International Space Station

107
00:07:27,850 --> 00:07:40,030
you can see cygnus moving slowly in

108
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:41,740
toward unity in this video of from the

109
00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:45,960
centerline berthing camera system

110
00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:45,960
showing good alignment with the vehicle

111
00:08:20,890 --> 00:08:25,810
Cygnus is now in the

112
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:25,810
to latch position

113
00:12:14,060 --> 00:12:19,550
as the International Space Station flies

114
00:12:16,210 --> 00:12:21,830
264 miles over Australia you can see

115
00:12:19,550 --> 00:12:24,170
lightning in the background and first

116
00:12:21,830 --> 00:12:26,360
stage capture of the vehicle as complete

117
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:28,070
robotic flight controllers have

118
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,020
configured the arm into its limp mode

119
00:12:28,070 --> 00:12:32,690
meaning it won't be imparting any forces

120
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:37,060
on the vehicle as the next stages of

121
00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:37,060
capture are completed

122
00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:53,920
once Cygnus is birth to the unity module

123
00:14:52,330 --> 00:14:57,180
today it will remain attached until

124
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,180
January 2020

125
00:15:01,830 --> 00:15:06,190
once it departs the international space

126
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:08,170
station Cygnus will still stay in space

127
00:15:06,190 --> 00:15:10,690
for a couple of weeks to complete some

128
00:15:08,170 --> 00:15:15,150
additional objectives before burning up

129
00:15:10,690 --> 00:15:15,150
in the Earth's atmosphere upon reentry

130
00:15:52,430 --> 00:15:56,690
the 16a bolts that will firmly attach

131
00:15:54,950 --> 00:15:59,710
the vehicles to the space station are

132
00:15:56,690 --> 00:15:59,710
now driving

133
00:17:30,190 --> 00:17:34,000
there are two hatches the crew will need

134
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,590
to open to access the contents of

135
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,540
sickness later this afternoon

136
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:39,790
once the vehicle has been attached

137
00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:45,580
there's a hatch on the station side and

138
00:17:39,790 --> 00:17:46,810
a hatch on Cygnus itself the crew will

139
00:17:45,580 --> 00:17:48,760
begin outfitting the space between

140
00:17:46,810 --> 00:17:52,380
Cygnus and the station later today and

141
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,380
prepare for opening the hatch

142
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:11,460
there are currently six people living

143
00:20:10,050 --> 00:20:13,890
aboard the International Space Station

144
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:16,530
and astronauts need to work out about

145
00:20:13,890 --> 00:20:19,290
two hours every day to keep from losing

146
00:20:16,530 --> 00:20:23,040
any bone or muscle mass however while

147
00:20:19,290 --> 00:20:24,660
the canadarm2 is attached to the Cygnus

148
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,010
vehicle and teams are performing

149
00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:28,440
alignment checks and preparing for

150
00:20:26,010 --> 00:20:30,900
berthing there's no exercise allowed on

151
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,270
the station to avoid any vibrations in

152
00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:35,600
the cane and arm - and keeps the vehicle

153
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:35,600
aligned

154
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:17,859
and we have confirmation that the a

155
00:22:15,340 --> 00:22:20,049
bolts have completed driving and the

156
00:22:17,859 --> 00:22:22,059
Cygnus is birth to the unity module on

157
00:22:20,049 --> 00:22:23,559
the International Space Station the

158
00:22:22,059 --> 00:22:27,070
space station was flying over the South

159
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:30,419
Pacific at 5:21 a.m. Central time when

160
00:22:27,070 --> 00:22:30,419
Cygnus made its final arrival

161
00:22:50,940 --> 00:22:56,220
station Houston spaced around to four

162
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,220
Cygnus status

163
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:11,280
- ables

164
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:20,300
are complete Cygnus is structurally

165
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:20,300
attached to the ISS great news thank you

166
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:34,240
now that Cygnus is attached to the

167
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:36,340
International Space Station the crew

168
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,610
will begin accessing its cargo later

169
00:23:36,340 --> 00:23:38,610
this afternoon

170
00:23:38,730 --> 00:23:44,500
Cygnus journey began two days ago on

171
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:46,480
November 2nd at 859 a.m. Central Time

172
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:49,420
when it launched from Wallops Island

173
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,580
Virginia and it was captured this

174
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:53,590
morning by NASA's Cristina NASA's

175
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:56,590
Jessica Mira and Christina cook while

176
00:23:53,590 --> 00:24:04,870
filing 259 statute miles over Madagascar

177
00:23:56,590 --> 00:24:06,610
at 3:10 a.m. Central time berthing was

178
00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:08,530
completed of Cygnus to the station's

179
00:24:06,610 --> 00:24:10,809
unity module while flying over the South

180
00:24:08,530 --> 00:24:13,960
Pacific this morning at 5:21 a.m.

181
00:24:10,809 --> 00:24:26,800
Central time Cygnus will remain attached

182
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:27,850
until January 2020 that wraps up our

183
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,350
coverage

184
00:24:27,850 --> 00:24:31,990
