>> GOOD MORNING AND GOOD
AFTERNOON FOR ONE FINAL TIME
FROM MISSION CONTROL HOUSTON.
WELCOME TO THE LIVE COVERAGE OF
THE SPACECRAFT DOCKED AT THE ISS
TO WELCOME THREE NEW CREWMEMBERS
ABOARD THE ORBITING LABORATORY.
ONCE MORE WE ARE COMING TO YOU
LIVE FROM THE ROOM, THE USUAL
SPACE STATION HERE AT THE
JOHNSON SPACE CENTER IN HOUSTON,
TEXAS, SIGNED OF THE ROOM NOW,
TILL THE ORBIT 2 TEAM AND BEING
LEAD TODAY BY FLIGHT DIRECTOR
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN.
SHE IS COORDINATING ALL THE
TEAMS HERE IN HOUSTON RESPONSE
FOR OVERSEEING THE SYSTEMS
ONBOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
ABOVE HER IS NASA ASTRONAUT
JESSICA WATKINS SERVING AS THE
CAPCOM FOR THIS SHIFT THAN THE
VOICE COMMUNICATION LINK BETWEEN
THE TEAMS HERE IN HOUSTON AND
THE CREW ONBOARD.
AND JUST A QUICK UPDATE THE
CREWS STEPPING THROUGH THE FINAL
LEAK CHECKS FOLLOWING THE
SUCCESSFUL DOCKING THEY KICK OFF
EVENTUALLY ABOUT TWO HOURS OF
LEAK CHECKS AND VESTIBULE
PRESSURIZATION AND FILL THAT
SPACE BETWEEN THE SOYUZ
SPACECRAFT AND THE STATION HATCH
WHICH IS NORMALLY EXPOSED TO THE
VACUUM OF SPACE WITH ATMOSPHERE
AND ONCE THAT GETS PRESSURIZED
THEY HAVE TO EQUALIZE THAT AND
HAVE PRESSURE ONBOARD THE SOYUZ
AND THE STATION BEFORE YOU CAN
GET THOSE HATCHES OPEN AND
OBVIOUSLY MAKING SURE THERE ARE
NO LEAKS IN ANY OF THE SEALS
BETWEEN THE VEHICLE THAN THE
SPACECRAFT SO STILL GOING
THROUGH THOSE LEAK CHECKS.
WE HAVE A COUPLE MORE MINUTES TO
GO UNTIL THEY GET FINAL PRESSURE
READINGS THEN BEGIN THAT PROCESS
THEN A COUPLE OF MINUTES ON THE
END OF THAT AS WELL.
WE WERE INITIALLY TARGETING
HATCH OPEN TIME OF RIGHT AROUND
11:15A.M. CENTRAL TIME.
WE WILL SLIDE AROUND WITH THAT
AS THE PRESSURE CHECKS CONTINUE
ON.
THE CREW ONBOARD THE SOYUZ
SPACECRAFT, THOUGH, ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THIS HATCH, THAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, AND THEY
ARE NASA ASTRONAUTS CHRIS
CASSIDY AND IVAN VAGNER, ANATOLY
IVANISHIN.
ON THE LEFT, NASA ASTRONAUT
CHRIS CASSIDY.
IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES, THEY ARE
GOING TO BE JOINING EXPEDITION
62 CREW ONBOARD THE STATION.
THE TWO NASA ASTRONAUTS JESSICA
MEIR AND ANDREW MORGAN ALL BEEN
ONBOARD.
DREW MORGAN HAS BEEN ONBOARD FOR
263 DAYS THEN CHRISTINA AND OLEG
HAVE BEEN ONBOARD FOR JUST OVER
197 DAYS AND SCHEDULED TO REMAIN
ONBOARD THE STATION FOR ANOTHER
WEEK AND THEN THEY WILL BE
COMING HOME THEN THE CREW THAT
JUST ARRIVED TODAY WILL BE THE
ONLY ONES ONBOARD UNTIL WE GET
ANOTHER HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT LAUNCH
THE NEXT ONE ON OUR SCHEDULE
GOING TO BE THAT DEMO TO FLIGHT
CURRENTLY TARGET FOR MID TO LATE
MAY.
AND THIS WILL BE BRINGING BOB
BANK AND DOUG HURLEY UP TO THE
STATION.
BUT FOR NOW, WE'RE STANDING BY
FOR THIS HATCH OPENING.
AND GOING TO GET A LOOK INSIDE
OF THE POISK MODULE AND SEE OLEG
SKRIPOCHKA.
HE HAS BEEN GETTING THE HATCH
READY ON THE STATION SIDE.
TWO HATCHES OPEN FIRST WE SEE
HIM OPEN THE STATION HATCH THAT
WILL ACTUALLY REVEAL VERY TOP OF
THE SOYUZ SPACECRAFT WHERE WE
WERE LOOKING AT IT IN THE VACUUM
OF SPACE JUST A FEW HOURS AGO.
THE DOCKING PROBE AND OTHER
ANTENNAS LOCATED AROUND IT
CURRENTLY THE DOCKING PROBE HAS
BEEN RETRACTED AND THEN ONCE THE
LEAK CHECKS ARE COMPLETE, WE'RE
ABLE TO GET THE HATCHES OPEN AND
THE CREW ONBOARD.
>> COPY.
THIS IS THE ISS PRESSURE.
ALL RIGHT.
10.9.3.
REGULATOR ONE IS CLOSED.
YES PLEASE SEND THE 5 COMMAND
THEN IN ONE MINUTE TURN 6.
F5 ISSUED.
I CONFIRM THAT LED IS
ILLUMINATED.
>> VEHICLE OFFICER HERE IN
MISSION CONTROL HOUSTON, TOM IS
LEADING THE TEAM OF FLIGHT
CONTROLLERS BOTH SUPPORT TEAM
HERE IN HOUSTON AND OVER IN
MOSCOW GETTING DATA AND FEEDBACK
FROM THE RUSSIAN FLIGHT CONTROL
TEAM FEEDING THAT TO THE FLIGHT
CONTROLLERS HERE IN HOUSTON IN
ONE AND HEARING THAT THE LEAD
CHECKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED NOW
BEGINNING THE PRESSURIZATION
STEP SO YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE EQUAL PRESSURE ON THE
STATION AND THE SOYUZ HATCH
SIDES THEN IN THAT VESTIBULE
THAT IS BASED IN BETWEEN AND
ONCE THE PRESSURES ARE EQUAL OR
WITHIN A TOLERABLE RANGE OF
BEING EQUAL THEY WILL BE ABLE TO
ACTUALLY GET THE HATCHES OPEN,
SO LEAK CHECKS IN THE REAR VIEW
AND THE EQUALIZATION ONBOARD NOW
AND FOLLOWING THAT WILL BE HATCH
OPEN OPENING.
>> STAND BY.
OK.
COPY.
STANDING BY.
OK.
STAND BY FOR THE HATCH OPENING.
ALL RIGHT.
STANDING BY.
>> AND AGAIN THE FIRST HATCH WE
EXPECT TO BE OPEN ON THE STATION
SIDE.
THERE ARE TWO HATCHES.
ONE ON THE STATION.
ONE IN THE SOYUZ.
OLEG SKRIPOCHKA WILL FIRST OPEN
UP THE STATION SIDE HATCH AND
GETTING IN POSITION TO OPEN THAT
MANEUVER NOW.
THEN AFTER THEY FINALIZE THE
PRESSURIZATION EQUALIZATION
BETWEEN THE SOYUZ AND THE
STATION, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO
OPEN UP THE SOYUZ HATCH AND IN
THE TIME SINCE THEY DOCKED IN
ADDITION TO DOING ALL THE LEAK
CHECKS THE CREW ABLE TO GET OUT
OF THE LAUNCH AND ENTRY SUITS
THEY HAVE BEEN WEARING SINCE
SOUGHT UP PRIOR TO THEIR LAUNCH.
THERE WE SEE THE STATION SIDE
HATCH IS OPEN.
AND LOOKING AT THE VERY TOP OF
THE MODULE ON THE SOYUZ NOW.
>> THIS IS MOSCOW.
THE ACTIONS IN THE BOX.
OK.
COPY.
OPEN.
OK.
DID YOU OPEN.
>> AND HAVING A QUICK HANDOVER,
SO A QUICK TRANSITION IN OUR
AUDIO VIDEO AND TELEMETRY WITH
THE STATION AS WE HAND OVER
BETWEEN THE TRACKING AND DATA
RELAY SATELLITES ALL OF THAT
DATA FROM THE STATION BACK DOWN
TO THE EARTH AND THE GROUND.
YOU ARE GETTING VIEWS OF THE
RUSSIAN MISSION CONTROL CENTER
KOROLEV OUTSIDE OF MOSCOW ARE
THE SOYUZ MS-16 VEHICLE TODAY
ALL THE WAY THAT THE DOCKING AND
NOW HATCH OPENING ON THE RIGHT A
LOOK INSIDE OF ORBIT TWO TEAMS
STILL ON THE COUNCIL AND HAVE
BEEN ONBOARD SINCE A COUPLE OF
HOURS BEFORE THE ACTUAL DOCKING
AND WE'RE SEEING ALL THE FINAL
PREPARATIONS OF THE STATION AND
FLIGHT DIRECTOR LEADING THE TEAM
THIS MORNING.
>> THEN I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE
RECOMMENDATION.
OK.
READY TO COPY NOW.
READY TO COPY.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU WILL HAVE TO
DEACTIVATE THE SOYUZ.
THIS IS ORBITAL AND 38 STEPS.
ORBITAL FLIGHT.
THAT IS AFFIRMATIVE.
ORBITAL FLIGHT 36 STEPS 4.5 IS
NOT TO BE EXECUTED.
ORBITAL FLIGHT PAGE 36.
4.5 IS NOT TO BE EXECUTED.
IT IS NOT TO BE ACTIVATED.
THAT IS CORRECT.
NEXT PAGE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE
CARTRIDGE IN 35.
SO YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SWITCH.
PAGE 35.
4.3.
WHAT IS IN NEXT?
REPLACE THE ONE.
THAT IS CORRECT?
YES.
AFFIRMATIVE.
SO THE CREW INSIDE OF THE SOYUZ
CONTINUES TO STEP THROUGH THE
FINAL EQUALIZATION PROCEDURES
AND TAKE A MOMENT HAVE BEEN
SENDING IN TWITTERS EVER SINCE
THE LAUNCH THIS MORNING TO TRY
TO BURN THROUGH A COUPLE OF THEM
HERE REAL QUICK.
THE FIRST ONE COMES,
WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST TASK
ONBOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION IN WELL, FIRST, TASK
ONBOARD WILL BE TO JUST GREET
THEIR CREWMEMBERS AND GATHER IN
THE RUSSIAN SERVICE MODULE AND
EXCHANGE A COUPLE OF WORDS WITH
THE TEAMS ON THE GROUND AND BOTH
MOSCOW AND THE FIRST SCHEDULED
AS ALL THE CREWMEMBERS WILL BE A
MIDDAY MEAL AND IT HAS BEEN
SEVERAL HOURS SINCE THE CREW ON
THE SOYUZ 8 PRIOR TO GETTING
SUITED UP AND LEAVING ON THEIR
TRIP INTO SPACE AND THEN FOR THE
CREW ALREADY ONBOARD THE STATION
THAT IS RIGHT AT MIDDAY MEALTIME
FOR THEIR NORMAL SLEEP SCHEDULE
SO THEY WILL ALL SHARE THAT MOVE
IN TO WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE
SAFETY BRIEFING SO CUSTOMARY
THAT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION COMMANDER GIVES ALL
NEWLY ARRIVED CREWS THE SAFETY
BRIEFING THAT LASTS 45 MINUTES
WHERE THEY DO REFRESH ON ALL THE
PARTICULARS TO REACT TO THE
EMERGENCY ONBOARD THE STATION
AND WHERE YOUR ROUTES ARE OF THE
SOYUZ SPACECRAFT AND WHERE ALL
THE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT IS AND
WALKING THROUGH IT WITH THE
CREW MEMBERS.
NEXT QUESTION COMES, WANTED TO
KNOW THIS IS THE LAST USEAGE OF
THE SOYUZ OR SPACE STATION.
A NUMBER OF YOU ASKING IF THIS
IS THE LAST TIME WE HAVE
AMERICAN ASTRONAUT ON THE SOYUZ
OR WILL WE ONLY BE FLYING ON THE
NEW COMMERCIAL SPACECRAFT FROM
SPACE BOEING AND THE ANSWER IS
NO.
THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST USAGE
IS TO CONTINUE TO FLY AMERICANS
ON THE SOYUZ AND THEN ALSO TO
FLY RUSSIANS ON THE COMMERCIAL
CREW VEHICLES COMING ON-LINE AS
PART OF THE CREW PROGRAM.
WE ALWAYS WANT TO MAINTAIN AN
U.S. AND RUSSIAN PRESENCE
ONBOARD THE STATION AS THOSE
NATIONS ARE TH ONES MOST
WELL-TRAINED AND MOST IN BETWEEN
THE VARIOUS SYSTEMS ON THE
DIFFERENT SEGMENTS AND SO, IN
ORDER TO KEEP THAT NEXT CREW WE
HAVE TO FLY MIXED CREWS ON THE
DIFFERENT VEHICLES, SO WE FULLY
INTEND TO CONTINUE FLYING
AMERICANS AND TO EVENTUALLY FLY
RUSSIANS ON THE U.S. COMMERCIAL
CREW VEHICLES.
THEN A LOT OF PEOPLE SENDING IN
THE VERY PERTINENT QUESTIONS
ABOUT ANY RISKS OF THE CREW
SPREADING COVID-19 TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION OR
WHAT WE HAVE DONE PROTECT THEM
AND THE ANSWER IS WE HAVE A
ROBUST HELP UTILIZATION PROGRAM
IS WHAT IT IS REFERRED TO AND
VERY STRICT QUARANTINE FOR THE
CREWMEMBERS IN THE WEEKS LEADING
UP TO THEIR INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION FLIGHT.
A COUPLE OF TYPICAL PRELAUNCH
ACTIVITIES FOR EITHER SCALED
BACK OR CHANGED LARGELY
CEREMONIAL IN NATURE THINGS LIKE
MEDIA BRIEFING OR VISITS TO RED
SQUARE AND BUT THEIR PROCEDURES
REALLY DIDN'T GET THAT MUCH OF A
CHANGE.
THE AMOUNT OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE
GENERAL AREA AROUND THE CREW WAS
SCALED BACK.
WE SAW WITH ALL OF THE ROLLOUT
VIDEO OF THE CREW LEAVING.
THERE WAS MUCH SMALLER FOOTPRINT
OF THE INDIVIDUALS DOWN THERE IN
BAIKONUR JUST DUE TO ALL THE
CURRENT TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS BUT
WE DO HAVE THIS STABILIZATION
PLAN ALREADY IN PLACE THAT
REQUIRES THE QUARANTINE FOR THE
CREWMEMBERS JUST EVEN IN NORMAL
TIMES TO PREVENT THEM FROM
BRINGING ANY BUGS, VIRUS, THINGS
LIKE THAT TO THE SPACE STATION
WITH TEAM AND GETTING THE OTHER
CREW MATES SICK AS THEY ARE
LIVING IN THIS CLOSED
ENVIRONMENT, THANKS TO ALREADY
HAVING A LOT OF THOSE ROBUST
PROCEDURES IN PLACE.
WE'RE CONFIDENT WE'RE ABLE TO
LAUNCH THE CREWMEMBERS SAFE AND
HEALTHY AND READY FOR THE
SIX-MONTH STAYS ONBOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
>> HOW OFTEN DO THEY GET TALK TO
THEIR FAMILIES?
PRETTY REGULARLY THEY HAVE
REGULARLY SCHEDULED
VIDEOCONFERENCES WITH FRIENDS
AND FAMILY DOWN HERE ON THE
GROUND AND USING A LOT OF
DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS
THAT WILL BE FAMILIAR TO YOU OR
DOWN HERE ON PLANET EARTH
EVENTUALLY USING VIDEO CALLING
AND EVEN VOICEOVER IP VERY
SIMILAR TO WHAT WE GET AND ENDS
UP FUNCTION LIKE CALLING
SOMEBODY ON CELL PHONE.
SO THEY ARE ABLE TO GET ONBOARD
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
AND ACCESS TO E-MAIL AND SO THEY
ARE ABLE TO REGULAR SEND AND
RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM FAMILY ON
THE GROUND AND THEY CAN DO THAT
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THE NEXT ONE COMES FROM ALEX.
HE HAD TO KNOW HOW GOOD IS THE
INTERNET ON THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
THE INTERNET IS SERVICED LIKE
ALL OF THE DATA TRANSFER FROM
THE STATION BY OUR TRACKING DATA
AND RELAY SATELLITES AND
CONSTELLATION IN ORBIT AROUND
THE EARTH AND THAT THEY ARE ABLE
TO USE TO ACCEPT DATA, SEND
VIDEO, LIKE WE'RE GETTING RIGHT
NOW, ALSO, SEND VOICE
COMMUNICATIONS BUT ALSO USE THE
INTERNET AND THE ASTRONAUTS ABLE
TO ONBOARD AND THE STATION RIGHT
NOW.
THANKS TO UPGRADES IN 2019, TO
SUPPORT THE 1600 MEGABIT PER
CONNECTION SO GETTING MORE
COMMON TO HAVE CONNECTIONS DOWN
HERE ON PLANET EARTH TO NOT
QUITE THAT FAST BUT THEY ARE
ORBITING 250 STATUTE MILES OVER
PLANET EARTH AND DEFINITELY FAST
ENOUGH AND THAT HANDLING ALL THE
VIDEO COMING DOWN FROM STATION
ALL OF THE SCIENCE DATA ALL OF
THE FILES BEING UPLINKED TO THE
CREW AND SO 600 MEGABITS.
OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM
CLAIRE, SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHY
THE BACKUP CREW ARE BEING USED.
THAT IS BECAUSE ONE OF THE CREW
MEMBERS THAT WAS ORIGINALLY
SLATED TO FLY AND ENCOUNTERED A
MEDICAL ISSUE IN THE FINAL STAGE
OF TRAINING AND SENSE THESE CREW
MEMBERS WERE GETTING SOME
SPECIAL TRAINING AS WHEN ANDREW
MORGAN AND JESSICA MEIR ALONG
ALONG WITH OLEG SKRIPOCHKA ONLY
ONE U.S. OS MEMBER THAT IS CHRIS
CASSIDY ON THE U.S. OPERATING
SEGMENT REALLY THE HALF OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION THIS
HAS THE U.S. SPONSORED MODULES
ALONG WITH SOME OF THE
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, AND FOR
CERTAIN THINGS LIKE SPACEWALKS
WHICH WE HAVE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS,
DIFFERENT SUIT, DIFFERENT
PROCEDURES ON THE U.S. SIDE AND
THE RUSSIAN SIDE, SO THE RUSSIAN
CREWMEMBERS GETTING SOME SPECIAL
TRAINING IN THOSE PROCEDURES IN
PARTICULAR, ONE OF THE
CREWMEMBERS THE PRIMARY AND THE
BACKUP CREW GETTING THAT
TRAINING SINCE THE BACKUP CREWS
ARE A PAIR AND ONE CREW MEMBER
HAD A MEDICAL ISSUE THEY HAD TO
SWAP OUT BOTH AND THAT WHYS THE
BACKUP ISSUE WAS USED AS WE
HEARD PRELAUNCH ANATOLY
IVANISHIN AND IVAN VAGNER
TRAINING WITH THE PRIME CREW SO
THEY WERE VERY WELL-PREPARED AND
READY TO SUPPORT THE STAY ON THE
STATION.
>> COPY.
THANK YOU.
>> WE HAVEN'T FORGOT ABOUT HATCH
OPENING AND STILL WORK THROUGH
THE PRESSURE THAT CAN TAKE A
COUPLE OF MINUTES WE'RE JUST
GOING TO CONTINUE TO STAND BY
AND WE SHOULD BE SEEING THAT
SOYUZ HATCH OPEN IN A LITTLE BIT
AND THEN CHRIS CASSIDY AND
ANATOLY IVANISHIN AND IVAN
VAGNER MAKE THE WAY TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
BUT FOR NOW, BACK TO TWITTER.
WE GOT MORE ASK NASA QUESTIONS
AND TOM WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE
GRID ON THE SOYUZ LAUNCH VEHICLE
DOES.
GOOD EYE.
GOOD QUESTION.
IF YOU DO REMEMBER THAT SOYUZ
THERE ARE GRID SPINS THAT ARE
BASICALLY LARGE STRUCTURES ON
THE LAUNCH AREA SO THE VERY TOP
OF THE ROCKET HAS LARGE WHITE
AREA THE LAUNCHES ON TOP AND
THEN PROTECTS DURING THE RIDE
AND FOUR GRID BINS THAT ARE
ATTACHED TO THE SIDE, THOSE ARE
STABILIZERS, SO IN THE EVENT OF
WHAT IS A PHASE ONE ABORT, THEY
ARE TOWER ON TOP AND THE SOLID
ROCKET MOTOR ON THE FARING
ITSELF.
THE STABILIZERS ARE DEPLOYED IN
ORDER TO BASICALLY BE ALTITUDE
CONTROL AND STABILIZER TO ENSURE
THE VEHICLE DOESN'T GO ROLL AND
IS ABLE TO ENSURE GOOD PITCH.
>> OK.
COPY.
WELL IT IS NOT REALLY DROPPING.
IT IS DECREASING.
OK.
COPY.
WHEN YOU SAY THE PRESSURE IS
DROPPING, IT SOUNDS TOO SCARY.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO EXIT.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A FEW
EVENTS THEN AFTER
VIDEOCONFERENCE WE WILL DO THE
DEACTIVATION STEPS.
AFFIRMATIVE.
AFTER YOU WILL HAVE TO GET BACK
TO THE SOYUZ AND DEACTIVATE TO
PAGE 82 AND INSTALL THE CAP ET
CETERA.
WE HAVE TO DISCUSS IT.
THIS IS PAGE 82.
OK.
WE WILL EXIT.
THEN GETTING BACK TO THE STREAK
THE SOYUZ TO COMPLETE THE
ACTIONS FOR PAGE 82 THEN WE
SHOULD.
YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
>> WE'RE STANDING BY.
ALL RIGHT.
735 THE CURRENT PRESSURE RATING.
735.
COPY.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE, OK.
735.
YES.
IT IS THERE FOR NOW.
OK.
WE'RE GOING TO EXIT NOW.
I WILL COME BACK HERE AND
DEACTIVATE EVERYTHING AND WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE SOME KIND OF A
VIDEO CONFERENCE AFTER THE
ASSENT.
PLEASE SMILE.
OK.
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
WE STILL HAVE A LOT TO DO HERE.
WE'RE STANDING BY FOR THE
PRESSURE READING.
WELL IT IS STILL SORT OF
DECREASING 734.
734.
COPY.
THIS IS MOSCOW.
WHAT IS THE CURRENT READING?
>> IT IS STABLE.
735.
COPY.
IT CAN OPEN THE HATCH COVER.
CHECK THE VALVE ARE CLOSED NOW.
OK.
OPEN.
OPEN NOW.
OK.
GET READY TO OPEN THE HATCH.
THE HATCH IS OPEN.
AND JUST GO AHEAD AND MOVE OVER
THERE AND SMILE.
MOSCOW, THE HATCH IS OPEN.
COPY.
EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
CAN YOU SEE THE HATCH IS OPEN.
I VAN VAGNER FIRST THROUGH.
CHRIS CASSIDY JUST BEHIND HIM
MAKE THE THIRD TRIP TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
HATCH OPEN COMING AT 11:28A.M.
CENTRAL TIME AND 12:28P.M.
EASTERN TIME.
18 6:28GMT.
AND LAST BUT NOT ANATOLY
IVANISHIN A THIRD-TIME SPACE
MAKING HIS WAY ONBOARD THE SPACE
STATION.
YEAH THAT HATCH WAS OPENED AT
11:28A.M. CENTRAL WHILE THE
STATION WAS FLYING JUST UNDER
270 STATUTE MILES OVER THE
INDIAN OCEAN, JUST OFF THE WEST
OF AUSTRALIA.
I AM IN THE SOYUZ.
I AM EXECUTING STEPS.
OK.
COPY.
WE ARE GOING TO SAY GOOD-BYE AT
THIS POINT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR
WORK TODAY.
HOW DO YOU READ ME?
YES, YOU CAN READ YOU NOW.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR
ALL THE WORK DID YOU TODAY AND I

ANOTHER QUICK HANDOVER AND
SHOULD BE GETTING THE VIDEO BACK
WITH THE STATION MOMENTARILY AND
WE'RE GOING TO STAND BY FOR A
FEW MORE MINUTES.
WE ARE STILL LOOKING TO SEE IF
WE ARE GOING TO GET SOME WORD
FROM THE NEWLY ARRIVED CREW AND
HOPEFULLY SOME CONGRATULATIONS
FROM HERE IN HOUSTON SO CONTINUE
TO HANG WITH US.
BIG EVEN, THOUGH, HATCH OPEN,
AND WE ARE STARTING TO SEE OUR
CREWMEMBERS INSIDE OF THE ZVEZDA
SERVICE MODULE RIGHT THERE IN
THE FRONT ON THE LEFT.
QUICK REFLEX, CHRIS CASSIDY,
SPACE TO GROUND ONE.
CONGRATULATIONS.
CONGRATULATIONS ON ARRRIVING TO
THE STATION.
WE CAN SEE YOU GUYS.
THIS IS A GOOD PICTURE.
HE WAS STENT THE VEHICLE TO GET
SOMETHING.
>> AND RIGHT THE FIRST VIEW OF

CREWMEMBERS ONBOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
MISSION CONTROL.
WE'RE READY.
WHICH CAN HEAR AS WELL.
GOOD DAY TO YOU.
WE'RE VERY HAP THAT SOYUZ 63
RIDE OF HERE WITH NO ISSUES.
I UNDERSTAND WE ARE SELF
ISOLATED HERE ON THE STATION
WE'RE READY FOR GOING OVER AND
AFTER THIS WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE
THE STATION IN GOOD HANDS.
WE HAVE ARRIVED TO THE STATION
JUST A MONTH AGO, IT WAS
UNEXPECTED FOR US?
WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE GOING TO
BE HERE.
WE WERE PREPARING.
WE WERE READY.
EVERYTHING WORKED OUT.
WE ARE HERE.
THE VEHICLE PERFORMS EXCELLENTLY
THE STATION IS GREAT.
WE CAN ONLY CONFIRM AGAIN THAT
TECHNOLOGY IS OPERATING WELL.
WE ARE HAPPY TO BE HERE ON THE
STATION.
THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT TIME.
GOOD DAY TO YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS.
IT IS GOING WELL.
THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WITH THAT EVENT COMPLETED, YOU
ARE NOW BACK AT SIX HUMAN BEINGS
LIVING AND WORKING ONBOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
A FULL STRENGTH FOR ABOUT A WEEK
BEFORE IT IS TIME FOR THREE OF
THOSE CREWMEMBERS TO RETURN HOME
JUST RECAPPING A COUPLE OF OUR
MAJOR MILESTONES WITH TODAY.
THE CREW LAUNCHED SUCCESSFULLY
FROM THE BAIKONUR COSMODROME AT
3:05A.M. CENTRAL TIME.
4:05 EASTERN.
8:05GMT AND ABLE TO TAKE A
LITTLE ABOUT OVER DISK HOURS
LATER A AT 9:13A.M. CENTRAL,
10:13A.M. EASTERN, 14:13GMT AND
THE HATCHES WERE THROWN UP A
LITTLE UNDER 20 MINUTES AGO AT
11:20A.M. CENTRAL, 1 6:28GNT
BRINGING A START TO CHRIS
CASSIDY, ANATOLY IVANISHIN AND
IVAN VAGUE IN'S TIME ONBOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
BUT AGAIN, THEY ARE ONLY GOING
TO BE ONBOARD WITH THEIR OTHER
THREE CREW MATES FOR ABOUT A
WEEK.
THEN IT IS GOING TO BE TIME FOR
DREW MORGAN, JESSICA HERE AND
OLEG SKRIPOCHKA TO COME HOME.
WE'LL BRING LIVE COVERAGE OF
THAT AC TOUGH THAT I UNFOLDS ON
THURSDAY APRIL16th AND
START OFF THAT DAY W FAREWELL
AND HATCH CLOSURE COVERAGE THAT
WILL BE AT 5:00 P.M. CENTRAL,
6:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME AND THEN
EVENTUALLY INTO THAT UNDOCKING
COVERAGE WHERE WE WILL SEE THEM
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
TO BEGAN THE JOURNEY HEM AND
THAT WILL CONCLUDE WITH THE
DEORBIT BURN AND LANDING
COVERAGE AND THE LATE NIGHT
11:00P.M. CENTRAL AND MIDNIGHT
EASTERN.
BE SURE THAT TUNE IN TO NASA TV
AND NASA. GOV AND FOLLOW US ALL
ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT
COUNTS TO GET THE UPDATE ON THE
MISSION AS THEY COME THROUGH.
ONE FINAL TIME.
SOME OF THE UPCOMING COVERAGE
FOR THERE DAY WILL HAVE A VIDEO
FILE RECAPPING ALL THINK DOCK

AS WE CLOSE, WE JUST LIKE TO
THANK EVERYONE THAT TUNED IN
TODAY TO WATCH THREE HUMANS
LAUNCH FROM PLANET EARTH THOUGH
GNAW HOME FOR THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS IN SPACE AND HUMAN
SPACEFLIGHT ONLY POSSIBLE AND A
LOT OF PEOPLE WORK TOGETHER TO
DO THE THINGS THAT ARE HARD AND
WHAT WE JUST WATCHED TODAY IS A
COMBINATION OF COUNTS HOURS OF
LABOR, HUMAN BEINGS WORKING IN
CONCERT AROUND THE GLOBE IN THE
TIME OF DISTRESS AND HOPE TODAY
WAS HEARTENING AND IN SPIRING OR
JUST A WELCOME DISTRACTION FOR
ALL OF YOU STAYING AT HOME DOING
YOUR PART TO HOPE THOSE WORKING
