>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
SUNDAY, APRIL24th.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A LIVE VIEW
AS WE AWAIT DEPARTURE FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ON
THE WAY TO BACK TO PLANET EARTH.
WE EXPECT ENDEAVOR PUSH AWAY AT
5:00 55:00P.M. PACIFIC TIME
WITH MICHAEL LOPEZ-ALEGRIA,
LARRY CONNOR, EYTAN STIBBE.
A SHORT WHILE AGO, THE AXIOM-1
CREW SUITED UP AND THEY WERE
SEALED FOR DEPARTURE.
WE ARE JOINING IN FROM
HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA, MY NAME
IS ANDY.
I AM A QUALITY ENGINEER HERE AT
SPACEX JOINING ME TODAY IS A
CREW SYSTEMS GROUP LEAD AT AXIOM
SPACE AND MONITORING THE ACTION
FROM NASA'S JOHNSON SPACE CENTER
IN HOUSTON, TEXT, IS NASA PUBLIC
AFFAIRS OFFICER GARY JORDAN.
>> ANDY, WE HOSTED THE DOCKING
WEB CAST ON APRIL9th.
QUITE A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE
THEN.
>> DRAGON ON THE BIG LOOP WE ARE
SEEING ON THIS GROUND IT IS
BEING HELD BUT WE ARE NOT
HEARING THING ON THE GROUND AND
SEAT 3 DID YOU NOTICE ANY
CHANGES TO THE INTERCOM BETWEEN
ANY OF THE CREWMEMBERS AFTER WE
HAD PERFORMED ON THE BOARDS?
>> NO.
SO DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF COMS.
YES, TWO CALLS TO YOU ON THE
PREP.
>> OK.
COPY THAT.
LAR WHERE I, STAND BY HERE WHILE
WE TALK ABOUT THAT ONE ON THE
GROUND.
>> QUITE A LOT HAS HAPPENED ON
THE STATION SINCE THEN INCLUDING
EXTENDED STAY FOR THE CREW.
IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK WITH YOU.
LAUNCHING FROM KENNEDY SPACE
CENTER ON APRIL8th THEN
DOCKING TO THE ISS ON
APRIL9th THIS CREW SPENT
THE FIRST EIGHT DAYS CONDUCT
OVER 25 EXPERIMENTS POSTING
NUMEROUS OUTREACH EVENTS AND
PARTICIPATING IN A VARIETY OF
TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION IN
PLANETARY OBSERVATIONS SINCE
THEN, THE CREW HAS PACKED AWAY
ALL THE CRITICAL PAYLOADS
INCLUDING SEVERAL FOR NASA AND
DRAGON DEANER THEN ALL EYE ON
THE WEATHER.
A YEP, WIND SPEEDS HAVE BEEN A
CHALLENGE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL
DAYS.
>> DRAGON SPACEX ON THE LIG LOOP
AND COMPLETED HER ON THE GROUND
COPY.
STAND BY AND VISUAL CONDITION
FACT THEN WE HAVE SEAT 2 ON THE
COM CHECK ON THE BIG LOOP.
>> YOU ARE SEEING COMMUNICATION
WITH THE ASTRONAUT IN THE DRAGON
CAPSULE AND LOOKS LOOK THEY WERE
TROUBLESHOOTING COMMUNICATION
ISSUES BUT THINGS CONTINUING TO
PROGRESS AND GO WELL.
TOMORROW IS A GREAT DIE BRING
THE AX-1 CREW HOME AND RETURN WE
LOOK AT A NUMBER OF WEATHER
ITEMS SOME OF THE OBVIOUS IN
WITHS ARE NO RAIN OR CHANCE OF
LIGHTNING IN THE RECOVERY ZONE
FOR THE SATURDAY OF THE CREW
INSIDE OF THE CAPSULE AND THE
RECOVERY TEAM ON THE WATER AND
LOOK FOR WIND SPEEDS LESS THAN
10MILES PER HOUR AND WE CAN
SAFELY PERFORM RECOVERY
OPERATIONS WITH I WHICH INCLUDES
LANDING A HELICOPTER FLY OUR
CREW BACK TO SHORE.
THE WEAR NOW LOOKING GOOD WE ARE
EXCITED TO BRING LIVE COVERAGE
OF THE BEGINNING OF THE RETURN
TO EARTH OF AX-1 THE FIRST ALL
PRIVATE ASTRONAUT MISSION TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION THIS
WEB CAST WILL FOLLOW THE CREW'S
DEPARTURE FROM THE ISS AND
CONCLUDE ONCE IT EXITED WHICH IS
THE IMAGERY OUTER BOUNDARY OF
THE ISS.
THEN, TOMORROW, AXIOM AND SPACEX
WILL PICK UP WITH LIVE COVERAGE
AN HOUR BEFORE SPLASH DOWN TO
SHARE THE MISSION.
THE GROUND COMMANDS ARE COMPLETE
AND REQUESTING THEY MAKE A COME
CZECH ON THE BIG LOOP.
ONCE DRAGON DEPARTS THE STATION
THE CREW'S FLIGHT HOME EXPECTED
TO LAST LITTLE MORE THAN 16
HOURS.
DRAGON WILL USE THE DRACO
THRUSTERS TO THRUST WAY FROM THE
STATION IN A SER RIFFS CAREFULLY
CHOREOGRAPHED MANEUVERS.
DRAGON WILL ALSO EX COMPUTE A
PHASING BURN TO LOWER EARTH
ORBIT AND LINE UP WITH THE
LANDING CELLS THEN THE ACTIONS
STARTS TO PICK UP PACE WITH
CLOSURE OF THE NOSE CONE.
DRAGON SPACEX, ON THE BIG LOOP,
CAN WE GET ANOTHER COM CHECK
FROM SEAT 2 ON THE BIG LOOP.
>> THEN, PRIOR TO THAT, HE TRIED
TO TWICE.
>> COPY THAT, LARRY, WE ARE
SEEING THAT ON THE GROUND AND
TALKING ABOUT THAT.
CAN WE GO AHEAD AND HAVE LA GIVE
AS YOU COM CHECK ON DRAGON TO
GROUND?
>> WORKS.
>> BUT FOR TOMORROW, AFTER WE DO
THE PHASING BURN WE'LL CONTINUE
WITH TRUNK AND CLOSURE OF THE
NOSE CONE AND RE-ENTRY AND
DEPLOYMENT OF THE DOUGH AND OUR
TEAMS WILL RECOVER.
DRAGON IS TARGETED TO SPLASHDOWN
OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA
TOMORROW AT 16:06A.M. PACIFIC
TIME FOLLOWED BY THE CREW
GETTING PICKED UP BY ONE OF THE
SPACEX RECOVERIES.
>> ALSO A REMINDER JUST LIKE IT
APPROACHED TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION DRAGON'S DEPARTURE
AND DEORBIT DESIGNED TO K FULLY
AUTONOMOUS REQUIRING NO ACTION
FROM THE CREW ON BOARD AND GO
NOW TO GARY JORDAN AT THE NASA
JOHNSON SPACE CENTER TO HEAR HOW
THINK CREW HAS BEEN PREPARING
FOR THE RETURN AND WHAT WE CAN
EXPECT FROM HERE UNTIL DRAGON
DEPART INTERESTS THE STATION.
GARY?
>> THANKS TRISHA AND ANDY WHAT A
WONDERFUL TIME IS TO BE WITH YOU
GUYS FOR IN THE OF THE AXIOM
MISSION ONE.
HAS BEEN EVENTFUL 15 DAYS
ONBOARD.
THEY GOT A LOT DONE BUT OF
COURSE WE HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT
JUST TODAY AND IN THE PREVIOUS
DAYS TO GET READY FOR THIS
MOMENT.
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS THE
DREW HAS BEEN LOADING THE SPACEX
DRAGON ENDEAVOR THEIR CAPSULE
FOR THE AX-1 MISSION CAR GE AND
JUST PREPARING FOR THE UNDOCKING
SEE FENCE.
SO THEY LOADED 200POUNDS OF
SIRENS AND HARDWARE ONBOARD AND
THEY GOT IN THEIR LAUNCH AND
ENTRY SUITS THEN THEY OF COURSE
CLOSED THE HATCH AND THAT
HAPPENED ABOUT 6:26 P.M. CENTRAL
TIME A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THEN
OF COURSE, WE BROKE OUR COVERAGE
FOR THE DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE
VESTIBULE.
RIGHT NOW THE VESTIBULE
IN-BETWEEN THE DRAGON HATCH AND
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
HATCH IS DOWN TO VACUUM BUT WE
ARE IN THE 30 MINUTE LEAK CHECK
PERIOD BECAUSE OF THAT WE ARE
GOING TO GO AHEAD AND DELAY THE
UNDOCKING TIME BY 20 MINUTES
THEN THE NEW TARGET TIME FOR
UNDOCKING THE SPACEX DRAGON
ENDEAVOR TONIGHT IS 8:15P.M.
CENTRAL TIME THEN 6:15:00P.M.
SPECIFIC.
AND THE TEAMS AGAIN REASON
HOLDING PERIOD NOW AS THEY ARE
UNDERGOING LEAK CHECKS.
A LITTLE BIT OF MARGIN BUILT
INTO THAT BUT OF COURSE THEY ARE
DELAYING THAT UNDOCKING ABOUT 20
MINUTE THEN FROM IS NOT A
ONE-FOR-ONE IMPACT TO THE SPLASH
DOWN TIME AND MAKE IT UP THE
PHASING THEN STILL SPLASH DOWN
THE TIME YOU REPORTED AND
1:06P.M. EASTERN TIME AND OFF
THE COAST OF FLORIDA.
WITHIN THIS WINDOW RIGHT NOW
THAT WE ARE IN.
IT IS ABOUT 90 MINUTE WINDOW FOR
UNDOCKING THIS IS NOT LIKE THE
INSTANTANEOUS LAUNCH WINDOW WE
SEE FOR LAUNCH AND A LOT OF
FLEXIBILITY HERE AND MAKE IT UP
WITH THE PHASING TO GET OUR
CREWMEMBERS HOME.
HOW THEY HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT
OF STEPS SO FAR AND THE LEAK
CHECKS OF THEIR SUITS WHICH IS
OK THEN YOU ARE HEARING A BIT OF
THE COMMUNICATION CHECKS THEY
HAVE BEEN DOING FOR SEVERAL
HOURS NOW MAKING SURE THAT
EVERYTHING LOOKS THEY ARE STILL
WORK LAG THE A.M.S WITH THE
COMMANDER AND DO SO THIS THE
TIME OF UNDOCKING AND THERE IS A
TIME AFTER THE WINDOW FOR
CHECKING THE LEAK IN BETWEEN THE
VESTIBULE AND THAT THEY WILL
PERFORM A GO-NO GO POLL FOR ALL
THE FLIGHT CONTROL TEAMS
INCLUDING THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION TEAMS THAN YOU
INCLUDES THE SPACEX TEAMS TO
MAKE SURE EVERYBODY IS A GO FOR
DOCKING FOR UNDOCKING RATHER AT
8:15P.M. CENTRAL TIME TONIGHT.
NOW ONCE WE GET THAT PIN AND GET
TO THE GO AND WE ACTUALLY AT THE
COMMAND THAT COMMAND EXPECTED TO
BE I HISH AT THIS TIMED ABOUT
8:10P.M. CENTRAL TIME
6:10:00P.M. PAPA SICK OF THAT
STARTS SEQUENCE FOR UNDOCKING
INCLUDING UMBILICAL RETRACTION
THEN THE 12 HOOKS THAT ARE
HOLDING THE DRAGON TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION TO
BE RELEASED.
THERE IS A COUPLE OF UNDOCKING
BURNS.
THEY ARE SHORT PULSES TO
ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY SEPARATE THE
DRAGON TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
THEN, A COUPLE OF DEPARTURE
BURNS TO GET OUTSIDE WHAT IS
CALL THE KEEP-OUT SPHERE AND OF
COURSE WHAT WAS MENTIONED PRIOR
TO THE APPROACH ELLIPSOID ABOUT
A KILOMETER AWAY FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
SIGNIFIES THE END OF JOINT
OPERATIONS FINISH NASA'S ROLE IN
ALL OF THIS AND REALLY WILL BE
LANDING IT TOUGH THE SPACEX
TEAMS AFTER THAT.
SO WE'LL BE FOLLOWING ALONG
LIVE.
YOU CONDITION SEE THE VIEWS HERE
OF THE DRAGON DEANER DOCKED TO
THE ZENITH OR FACE SIDING SIDE
OF THE CREW TO GET THEM HOME
THEN WE GOT A LOT TO UNCOVER AND
STILL IN THAT HOLDING PERIOD
RIGHT NOW TO THE LEAK CHECKS
THEN WE'LL HOLD ON TO THAT FOR
AWHILE AND EXPECTED FOR ANOTHER
MAYBE 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE WE
CAN GO AHEAD TO PROCEED FOR THE
FOOL GO FOR UNDOCKING LOOK YOU
SAID, THE WEATHER IS LOOKING
GREAT FOR TOMORROW SO STILL
TRYING TO UNDOCK TODAY.
WE GOT THAT 90 MINUTE WINDOW.
LOTS OF FLEXIBILITY FOR THE TEAM
THEN WE'LL BE FOLLOWING ALONG
EVERY STEP OF THE WHICH AND HERE
IN MISSION CONTROL HOUSTON GOING
THROUGH THE STEPS FOR UNDOCKING
THE AX-1 CREW FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
CONCLUDING THE LONG AND HAVE
PRODUCTIVITY ONBOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
BUT FOR NOW WHILE IN THIS PERIOD
OF MONITORING THE ARE
DEPRESSURIZATION, MAKING SURE
EVERYTHING IS GOOD, WHY DON'T WE
TOSS IT BACK TO HAWTHORNE FOR A
LITTLE BIT AND CONTINUE TO STAY
HERE, BUT ANDY AND TRISHA, BACK
TO YOU.
>> THANKS, GARY.
AS THE CREW CONTINUES TO REP FOR
UNDOCKING, LET'S GET TO KNOW THE
CREW A LITTLE BIT BOATER.
SO FIRST UP, MICHAEL
LOPEZ-ALEGRIA SERVING AS
COMMANDER IS A VOTE RAN OF THREE
SPACE SHUTTLE FLIGHTS WHERE ONE
SOYUZ FLIGHT AND NUMEROUS

NO STRANGER TO SPACE FLIGHT.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TRIP TO
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION,
IN FACT THE LAST ONE WAS 14

THAT HAVE BEEN TO SPACE WILL
TALK ABOUT THE OVERVIEW EFFECT.
BASICALLY, IT IS A CHANGE IN
PERSPECTIVE.

EXPECTATIONS FOR THE CREW
BECAUSE I REALLY WANT THEM TO
HAVE THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION OF
WHAT IT IS LIKE.
>> AMERICAN SPACEFLIGHT RECORD
DONE BY FORMER NASA ASTRONAUT
MICHAEL LOPEZ.
IF 15 DAYS IN SPACE.
213 ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
IN 2004 I WOULD FLY A LONG
DURATION MISSION TO THE IV.
MY TWO CREW MATES WOULD BE
COSMONAUT THEN A SPACEFLIGHT
PARTICIPANT.
I WAS NOT TOO KEEN WITH THAT
IDEA.
THEN, A FEW WEEKS THAT I SPENT
TRAINING WITH HER IN THE TEN
DAYS SPENT IN ON ORBIT WITH HER
COMPLETELY CHANGED MY VIEW.
IT HAS BEEN A COMPLETE
180-DEGREE CHANGE OF DIRECTION
IN A WENT FROM REFUSING THE COOL
AID TO POURING THE COOL AID.

THAT IS SPECIAL, IS PATIENCE AND
HIS SKILLED CONFIDENCE, HIS

MONTHS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO
GET A LOT DONE, HE PUSHILY WHEN
IT COMES TO SCIENTIFIC
EXPERIENCE THEN OUTREACH.
I WANT THEM TO ENJOY THE
EXPERIENCE AND THEN COME HOME

THOSE PACKAGES WE DIDDER THAT
THE LEAK CHECK ITSELF LOOKED
VERY GOOD AND SO, SO THE
VESTIBULE IN-BETWEEN THE TWO
HATCHES IS DOWN TO VACUUM AND IS
A GOOD LEAK CHECK SO NOW WE'LL
MOVE ON THE NEXT SEQUENCE OF
STEPS AND THE MAIN ONE IS THE
GO-NO GO POLL AND IF EVERYTHING
LOOKS GOOD AND WEATHER-WISE
WHICH IT IS TO TREND IN A
POSITIVE DIRECTION, THEN, THE
LEAK CHECK WAS GOOD.
THEY ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH
THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE GOOD AND
THEY WILL DO A POLL TO MAKE SURE
THEY ARE READY TO UNDOCK AND
THEY WILL GO AHEAD AND INITIATED

SEQUENCE AND THEN, THAT SEQUENCE
IS SET TO START HERE IN ABOUT
TEN MINUTES THEN, THEN, THAT
WILL START A FIVE MINUTE

RIGHT NOW, THE DRAGON IS
CONNECTED BY UMBILICAL AND WE

HOOKS WILL START TO RETRACT.
THEN THERE IS 1 HOOKS RETRACK
SIX AT A TIME THEN THEY WILL
CONDUCT A COUPLE OF PULSE BURNS
THEY ARE CALLED UNDOCKING BURNS
THEN SHORT FIRINGS OF THE
DRAGON'S DRACO THRUSTERS TO
PHYSICALLY SEPARATE THE DRAGON

WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN UNDOCKING
8:10P.M. CENTRAL TIME AND ON
TRACK TO MEET THAT.
WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH DRIVING
THE SECOND SET OF HOOK THEN ONCE
COMPLETELY DRIVEN THE SEQUENCE
TO INITIATE THOSE BURNS
PHYSICALLY SEPARATE THE DRAGON
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE

QUICKLY THEN STAND BY TO WITNESS
THAT PHYSICAL SEPARATION THEN
THE OFFICIAL UNDOCKING OF THE
FIRST PRIVATE ASTRONAUT CREW ARE

WE ARE EXPECTING THE NEXT DEPART
BURN COMING UP IN A LITTLE BIT
MORE THAN A MINUTE, A MINUTE AND
A HALF AND THAT WILL BE DEPART
BURN ONE WHICH IS TWO 1 1 METER
ZEN WITH THE OWN SET OF FLIGHT
RULES THEN CONTINUE TO COAST
OUTSIDE OF THE KEEP-OUT SPHERE
AFTER THE DEPART BURN ONE TO
APPROACH ELLIPSOID ABOUT A
KILOMETER AWAY ONCE IT EXITS
THE APPROACH THAT ENDS THE JOINT
THEN OF THE INTERNATIONAL TEAM
HERE IN HAWTHORNE AND THE SPACE
TEAMS THE RESPONSE BE OF TAKE
THE CREW FROM THE APPROACH
ELLIPSOID DOWN TO HE A SAFE
LANDING OFF THE COAST OF
FLORIDA.
WE ARE A FEW SECONDS AWAY FROM
THE NEXT DEPARTURE BURN.
THERE YOU SEE IT I GOT

PROCEEDING THE 4.012.
GOOD READBACK.

THIS BURNS THE LAST THAT WILL
TAKE THEM OUT OF THE KEEP-OUT
SPHERE AND THE APPROACH
ELLIPSOID WHICH YOU HEARD
MENTION TO THE CREW AND MEANTIME
THAT IT MEAN A LOT OF THE FLIGHT
RULES FOR HAVING THOSE SUITS ON
DURING THIS PARTICULARLY DYNAMIC
PHASE OF FLIGHT WITH THE
UNDOCKING BURNS AND SEPARATING
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION THAT HAS CONCLUDED SO
THEY ARE GOOD TO TAKE OF THE
SUITS AT THE 16 HOUR RIDE HOME
SO THEY WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE
TO GET OUT OF THE SUITS AND
STRETCH AND MEANTIME THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR OF COURSE WE
ARE GETTING SOME VIEWS THOSE
INTERMITTENT FROM THE INSIDE OF
THE DRAGON CABIN AND BE ABLE TO
MOVE ABOUT THE CABIN AND HAVE A
MEAL AND EVEN REST UNDERSTAND
THE CAMERAS EXTERNAL.
WE GOT CONFIRMATION THE DRAGON,
DRAGON EXITED THE KEEP-OUT
SPHERE.
>> COPY.
YOU HEARD IT CALLED UP TO THE
CREW AND THE FOUR MEMBER PRIVATE
ASTRONAUT CREW HAVE EXIT THE
KEEP-OUT SPHERE AND WILL BE
ABOUT ANOTHER 13 MINUTES OR SO
UNTIL THEY EXIT THE APPROACH
ELLIPSOID AND OFFICIALLY END
JOINT OPERATIONS.
WELL END OUR COVERAGE AFTER THE
APPROACH ELLIPSOID EXITS, BUT
THE CREW'S JOURNEY, OF COURSE,
HAS ONLY BEGUN.
YOU HEARD THERE THAT WILL BE
TAKING THEM OFF SUITS AND THAT
GETS THEM NICE AND COMFORTABLE
FOR THE 16-HOUR COMMUTE THEY
HAVE THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION OFF THE COAST OF DOLLARS
AND UNDOCKED OFF THE COAST OF
AFRICA AND DO A DO A COUPLE OF
ORBITS OF THE EARTH THEN SPLASH
DOESN'T OFF THE EASTERN COAST
AND THE PRIMARY SPLASH DOWN
TARGET AND THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF
BACKUP TUNES AND IDENTIFIED AS
WELL AND THE TEAMS WILL BE
CONSTANTLY MONITORING WEATHER
MAKING SURE IT IS OK AS YOU KNOW
WHETHER HAS BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE
FOR THE PAST COUPLE DAYS TO GET
OUR CREWMEMBERS HOME BUT LOOKING
AT-DAY 25th THINGS ARE
LOOKING GOOD TRENDING IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION BUT TEAMS WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
THE CREW IS A LITTLE LESS THAN
400 METERS FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION THEY
ARE CRUISING RIGHT NOW THAT WAS
THE LAST DEPARTURE BURN THAT WE
SAW DEPARTURE BURN ONE IN A
COAST PHASE NOW TO GET THEM OUT
THE APPROACH ELLIPSOID THEN GO
THROUGH A SERIES EVER ADDITIONAL
DEPARTURE BURN THEN PHASING
BURNS FOR SPLASHDOWN OFF THE
COAST OF ANDY AND TRISHA I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU WERE WATCHING BUT IN
CREDIBLE TO SEE THE AXIOM CREW
UNDONK FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION ESPECIALLY DURING
THE NIGHTTIME YOU GOT TO SEE
THOSE ENGINES LIGHT UP AND TRULY
ASTOUNDING THIS END AND TOSS IT
OVER TO HAWTHORNE TRISHA AND
ANDY AND I WONDER WHAT YOUR
PERSPECTIVE WAS NOW SEEING THE
AXIOM CREW HAS UNDOCKED FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
CONCLUDING THEIR STAY AT THE
ORBITING LABORATORY.
>> THANKS, GARY.
YES, CERTAINLY WAS EXCITING TO
WATCH THE DRAGON IN DOCK FROM
THE SPACE STATION AND THINGS ARE
LOOKING GREAT RIGHT NOW AND THE
CREW IS ON THE WAY TO EXITING
THE APPROACH ELLIPSOID SO AFTER
YOU KNOW, ABOUT 16 DAYS ABOARD
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
THE FIRST ALL PRIVATE ASTRONAUT
CREW IS WRAPPING UP THEIR
MISSION BUT BEGAN JUST OVER 16
DAYS AGO NOW AND IT HAS BEEN A
MISSION FULL OF OUTREACH
OBJECTIVES TO WE OVERALL GOAL TO
A GLOBAL AUDIENCE.
THE HISTORIC MISSION BEGAN ON
APRIL8thWITH THE LAWN OF
THE AX-1 CREW AND THE CREW
DRAGON DEANER FROM KENNEDY SPACE
SEASON FOR'S LAUNCHPAD 39A AND
THEN ENDEAVOR MADE THE APPROACH
HOPE TO ISS CULMINATING IN THE
SUCCESSFUL DOCK THOUGH ZENITH
PORT THE CREW THOSE ARE GREAT
SLOTS OF THE CREW DRAGON AND ON
LAUNCHPAD 39A AND A BEAUTIFUL
DAY AND A GORGEOUS VIEW THERE OF
THE DRAGON APPROACHING THE ESS
AND THE CREW AFTER THEY DOCKED
WAS THEN WELCOMED BY EXPEDITION
67 CREW AND THE OFFICIAL WELCOME
CEREMONY FROM THERE THEY JUMPED
INTO THE BUSY SCHEDULE THEN
MAXIMIZED EVERY BIT OF THEIR
TIME FOR OUTREACH OBJECTIVES
SOME OF IT INVOLVED GETTING USED
TO THIS ENTIRELY NEW ENVIRONMENT
THE CREW HAD OVER 700 HOURS OF
TRAINING TO PREPARE FOR THEIR
LIFE ON ORBIT BUT WHEN IT
BECOMES REAL WILLING AT THIS
TIME CERTAINLY TAKES SOME TIME
GETTING USED TO AT THIS TIME
THEN YOU KNOW FOR EXAMPLE THE
FLUIDS BEHALF IN A MUCH
DIFFERENT WAY AND YOU FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MOVE YOUR BODY AROUND AND
SO NOW HE, THERE IS A PERIOD OF
TIME TO GET USED TO IT.
THEN THE CREW'S TIME ON STATION
ALSO INCLUDED OBSERVATIONS
CONDUCTED FROM THE CUPOLA WHICH
HAS BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE EARTH
AND THERE YOU SEE GORGEOUS VIEW
OF THE HORIZON THEN GORGEOUS
VIEWS OF THE AURORAS RIGHT ABOVE
IT AND THE CREW WAS ALSO ABLE TO
FILM SOME OF THE DAY TO DAY
ASPECTS OF ON ORBIT LIFE YOU CAN
SEE A FOOD STORAGE BAG THERE
WITH ALL DIFFERENT KIND OF MEALS
AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO EAT AND
LIKE THE PEANUT BUTTER CAN RIGHT
ARE.
THE DIE DAY ASPECTS OF WHAT THEY
WERE ABLE TO SHE AND THE
NUMEROUS OUTREACH EVENTS THEY
HELD ON ORBIT AND LARRY EYTAN
AND MARK HELPED OUT MLA CALLED
INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE
CONFERENCE TO ORDER AND EYTAN
SPOKE TO ISRAELI PRESIDENT ON
ORBIT HIGHLIGHTING THE RETURN
AFTER THE FIRST ISRAELIS
ASTRONAUT FOUGHT TO FLY AND THE
FIRST ASTRONAUT TO BE ON THE
ISS.
THESE KINDS OF EVENTS ARE
CRITICAL TO RAISING AWARENESS
AND EXCITEMENT FOR THE FUTURE
SPACEFLIGHT FOR FUTURE
GENERATIONS THEN ALSO, IT IS
JUST YOU KNOW REALLY COOL TO BE
ABLE TO TALK TO ASTRONAUTS THE
REAL-TIME WHILE 250MILES ABOVE
YOU IN SPACE.
NOW ADDITIONALLY ONE OF THE
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES WITH THE
MISSION IS RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY
DEMONSTRATION FOR EXAMPLE THE
FIRST EVER SUCCESSFUL
DEMONSTRATION OF TWO WAY SHOWN
BY MARK THERE WHICH WILL ENHANCE
TELEMEDICINE EFFORTS TO HELP
FACILITATE THE SPACE MISSION AND
ADDITIONALLY OPTICAL LENS
CONDUCT BY EYTAN THAT YOU SEE ON
THE SCREEN THERE AND RESCISSION
AND MANUFACTURING THEY CAN
ACHIEVE IN ZERO GRAVITY BOLSTERS
DEEP SPACE ASTRONOMY RESEARCH
EFFORT THEN LEAD A FOR THAT ROW
WELLNESS TECHNOLOGY MONITOR
BRAIN ACTIVITY THEN THEY ALSO
HAD THE ASTROS SKIN BEST
DEMONSTRATIONS WORN BY MARK
WHICH WILL INFORM NEW DETECTION
FOR PROBLEMS WITH HEAR, LUNG AND
CIRCULATION SYSTEM THEN THE
MISSION WAS NOT ABOUT OUTREACH
BUT PLAYED A BIG ROLE AS WELL
THEN MLA MADE INTO MUSIC IN
SPACE HISTORY AND PERFORMED A
PIANO DUET AND EYTAN DISPLAYED
LEER A BEAUTIFUL RING FOR
MICROGRAVITY.
AND THOSE WERE SOME OF THE
LIGHTS OF THE TRIP AND SO MUCH
MORE ACCOMPLISHED THAN WHAT WAS
AND THE NEXT 15 DAYS M F WET
WENT THROUGH IN DETAIL THEN
THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED AND
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE URL AXIOM
SPACE.COM/RESEARCH FOR INSIDE
LOOK INTO WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO
ACCOMPLISH ON ORBIT.
YEAH.
A WAS COOL.
I LIKED MLA AND EATING OR
DRINKING OR EATING THE BALL OF
ORANGE JUICE AND THAT IS BECAUSE
SUPER COOL FOR NOW DRAGON IS
CONTINUING TO EXIT AND DISTANCE
HIMSELF AND CHECK BACK WIN GARY
AT HOUSTON, TEXAS, FOR UPDATES.
GARY.
>> THANKS, THANKS.
REALLY GREAT TO SEE A LOT OF
ACTIVITIES THEY PERFORMED
ONBOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION AND IT WAS TRULY A
SPRINT AND WE TALKED ABOUT LONG
DURATION STAYS ABOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
REALLY A MARATHON.
SIX MONTHS IS A LONG TIME THEN
GOT A LOT OF EXCITEMENTS TO DO
AND NOT TO SHY AWAY FROM THE
AMOUNT OF ACTIVES THAT WERE
ACCOMPLISHED ONBOARD THE AX-1
MISSION AND LOTS OF SCIENCE LOTS
OF OUTREACH AND THEY TRULY DID A
LOT AND OF COURSE THAT JOURNEY
IS NOW COMING TO AN END.
SO FAR, THE JURY LOOKS VERY GOOD
FOR THE SPACEX DRAGON ENDEAVOR
AND THE AX-1 CREW SEPARATING
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION EXIT OF THE APPROACH
ELLIPSOID MINUTES A WAY AND
SAFELY EXITED THE KEEP-OUT
SPHERE AND WE DID HEAR
CONFIRMATION TWO OF THE FOUR
ASTRONAUTS ALREADY OUT OF THE
SUITS THEN START DRYING THEM TO
MAKE SURE THEY ARE NICE AND
COMFORTABLE FOR WHEN THEY REDONE
THEM FOR THE NEXT DYNAMIC PHASE
OF THIS FLIGHT WHICH IS OF
COURSE THE RE-ENTRY THROUGH THE
EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE AND SPLASHING
DOESN'T OFF THE COAST WE FOLLOW
FROM HERE IN MISSION CONTROL
HOUSTON MAKE SURE THEY SAFELY
EXIT THE APPROACH ELLIPSOID AND
STAND BY FOR CONFIRMATION OF
THAT AND WRAP-UP OUR COVERAGE
AND MONITORING EVERY STEP OF THE
WAY WITH REALLY THE PRIME
RESPONSIBILITY OVER WITH SPACEX
AND WITH AXIOM SPACE.
>> A LIVE FLOCK THE FLIGHT
CONTROL TEAMS OVER IN HAWTHORNE
AND THEY WILL BE MONITORING THE
SPACEX DRAGON ENDEAVOR AND THE
AX-1 CREW THROUGH THE 16-HOUR
JOURNEY UNTIL THEY SAFELY RETURN
TO ETHER AND WE COT CONFIRMATION
THE APPROACH EXIT IS EXPECTED IN
A MINUTE.
FROM THERE THE CRUISE WILL TAKE
FULL CONTROL OVER THE SPACEX
VEHICLE AND THE CREW IN SIDE
RIGHT NOW STILL WITH THE FLIGHT
CONTROL TEAMS HERE IN HOUSTON
JUST MAKING SURE THEY
INTERNATIONAL IS STATION THAT
APPROACH ELLIPSOID IS MORE LIKE
FOUR KILOMETERS BY FLOUR ARE TWO
AND THE EXACT SPECIFICATIONS OF
THAT TRUE ELLIPSOID AND SO STAND
BAY FOR CONFIRMATION ONCE THEY
EXITED THAT SPACE.
WITH THAT WE HAVE CONFIRMATION
THEY HAVE OFFICIALLY EXITED.
>> ON THE BIG LOOP.
DRAGON HAS EXIT THE APPROACH
ELLIPSOID AND IS ON A SAFE FREE
DRIFT TRAJECTORY.
HOUSTON WILL BE TALKING DONE THE
BIG LOOP SHORTLY AND EXPECT ISS
AUDIO TRAFFIC TO DECEASE.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR TIME AND
LOOKING FORWARD GETTING HOME.
AT TIME WE REQUEST SWAPPING ANY
AUDIO DESTINATIONS BACK TO
DRAGON WHEN ABLE.
>> HOUSTON THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR
ALL THE SUPPORT TO THIS AMAZING
ADVENTURE WE HAD EVEN LONGER AND
MORE SO EXCITING THAN WE THOUGHT
AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR
PROFESSIONALISM AND WITH THAT
WE'LL SIGN OFF.
>> ALL RIGHT.
YOU HEARD IT FOLK THE AX-1 CREW
EXCITED THE APPROACH SIDE AND
OFFICIALLY OUTSIDE OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
TRULY UP TO THE TEAM THAT SPACEX
AND AXIOM SPACE TO GET THESE AND
CONGRATULATORY WORDS ARE THE
COMMANDER OF THE MISSION COMING
MENING THE WORK OF THE NASA
TEAMS AND THE TEAMS AT SPACEX
AND AXIOM FOR THEIR WONDERFUL
STAY AND EXTENDED STAY AT THAT
15 DAYS ABOARD THE ORBITING
LABORATORY THEN A LOT TO
EXPERIENCE AND A LOT TO SHARE
WHEN THEY GET TO THE GROUND AND
ON 24 HOUR SAFE RIGHT NOW WHICH
MEANS THAT IF ANYTHING WERE TO
GO WRONG AND THEY WOULD BE IN A
GOOD COURSE NOT TO INTERSECT OR
ANY CONJUNCTS THAT REASON THE
WAY AND SO EVERYTHING IS LOOKING
GOOD ON THAT END AND SO WITH
THAT, FROM HERE, IN MISSION
CONTROL HOUSTON WE WILL CONCLUDE
OUR COVERAGE OF THIS MISSION AND
TRULY HAND IT OVER TO THE TEAMS
AT SPACEX AND AXIOM SPACE.
HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL RIDE AND
HAVE I HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO THIS
MISSION WORKING VERY HARD TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO EXECUTE ALL THE ACTIVES
ONBOARD AND TRUE HONOR BE A PART
OF THIS MISSION STANDING THROUGH
ALL OF THE 15 DAYS.
A LOT HAPPEN.
IT IS REALLY BEGINNING OF
SOMETHING GREATER.
THIS IS THE FIRST MISSION OF ITS
KIND.
AND NASA'S GOAL TOYINGS SEE MORE
MISSIONS LIKE THIS.
MISSIONS WILL BE THE CUSTOMER
DEMAND IN THE FUTURE FOR NASA TO
EVENTUALLY BE ONE OF MANY
CUSTOMERS WORKING SIDE BAY SIDE
WITH PRIVATE ASTRONAUTS ON
COMMERCIAL DESTINATIONS THEN
FOLKS THIS IS JUST BEGINNING OF
THAT AND IT WAS TRULY HONOR TO
BE PART OF THAT.
WITH THAT IT WILL WRAP UP OUR
COVERAGE FROM HERE AND TO THAT I
HAVE ANDY, I WILL TOSS IT OVER
TO YOU GUYS IN HAWTHORNE TO
BRINGS HOME.
THANKS FOR HAVING US BE A PART
OF.
>> I YEAH.

THEY MAKE THE WAY BACK TO EARTH
ANNEX UP THE CREW WILL CONTINUE
TO DOLF THE SPACESUIT THEN HEAR
A LITTLE BIT MORE IN ABOUT AN
HOUR THEY WILL GET READY FOR
REST PERIOD AND EIGHT HOUR FOR
ACTUAL SLEEPING THEN A COUPLE OF
HOURS FOR FREE AND POST SPACE
ACTIVITIES.
AS THEY WRAP TEAM HERE WILTON
KEEP AN I ON THE WEATHER TO

PA OF SICK MONDAY APRIL25th
AXIOM AND SPACEX WILL PICK UP
BACK UP WITH LIVE COVERAGE OF
THE CONCLUSION OF THE AX-1
MISSION SHOULD TEAMS NEED TO
ADJUSTING THE TIMING IT OTHER IS
LISTEN TO GO LIVE AN HOUR BEFORE
SPLASHDOWN OH CORE FOR THE LA E
THE TIMING OF THE FINAL STAGE OF
THE AX-1 JOURNEY BE SURE TO
VISIT A AXIOM SPACE.COM AND
TRACK THE FLIGHT.
FROM ALL OF US AT AXIOM SPACE,
THANK YOU TO NASA FOR INCREDIBLE
EFFORTS MADE ON THIS MISSION TO
THE SHARED GOAL.
AND THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN WE
