1
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:08,399
so it looks like we do have that hold

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,160
dragon spacex on big loop the ground is

3
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:16,160
go

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,680
for approach two we will be enabling the

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,160
resume shortly as a reminder ensure

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,080
your visors are closed prior to dragon's

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,640
departure from the waypoint

8
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,840
and once dragon is inside the crew hands

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,119
off point retreat and breakout are not

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,520
permitted and for your awareness we have

11
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:35,520
sunset in a little less than 8.5 minutes

12
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:45,840
all on the big loop go for talking

13
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,520
so doug on uh on the spacecraft

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,359
confirming they're go for docking

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,600
we're going to put down their visors got

16
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:03,440
some instructions there about the

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,720
the crew hands-off point that we had

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,199
talked about earlier that's a point

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,119
where

20
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:09,680
we don't want the crew issuing any

21
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:12,960
commands to the vehicle

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,560
it's about just about two meters away

23
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,159
from the docking adapter i believe the

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,159
number is about 1.7 meters

25
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:23,759
station houston on the big loop houston

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,920
and station are now go for docking

27
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:27,200
chris you can monitor for steps three

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,720
and four three and four

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,240
and one decimal one zero four crew

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,240
dragon approach and retreat monitor

31
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:37,360
happy steps three and four

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,479
next dragon on the big loop our visors

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,439
are down

34
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:45,439
puppy visors down

35
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:55,920
with the crew confirming their visors

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:00,240
down we should see

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,240
the final approach resume

38
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:09,840
from approach to copy and bound

39
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:09,840
mission copy

40
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:15,920
and we're going to be racing that sunset

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,800
the approach has resumed

42
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:21,280
dragon closing in we're inside 20 meters

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,879
and yeah that crew hands off point

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,920
should come up in about three minutes or

45
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,000
so

46
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:30,080
right before we get that final docking

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,840
it comes about 20 seconds prior

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,080
or just about two meters away from the

49
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,560
station still and that's

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,200
just the crew not issuing any abort

51
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,319
commands

52
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,640
at that point it would be too late and

53
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:42,160
so

54
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:51,360
any aborts would be executed

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:53,760
automatically by dragon itself

56
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,800
so we're closing in at less than a tenth

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,239
of a meter per second at this point

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,480
you can see the the surface section

59
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:04,159
draco's just doing all these very small

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,879
minor attitude corrections really the

61
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,400
autonomous docking system at work making

62
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,159
sure that the

63
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,440
the vestibule and the soft capture

64
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:16,239
system is lined up

65
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,239
with ida2 the international docking

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,840
adapter

67
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:43,840
you can see much more clearly there the

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,519
hinge mechanism for the nose cone

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:49,760
those four black circles are the

70
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:51,040
ford bulkhead dracos not to be used at

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,920
this time

72
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,959
and then of course the the petals of the

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,959
soft capture system

74
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:01,840
wow

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,360
dragon on the big loop we're inside 10

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,920
meters we cannot make up the darkest

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,680
stocking

78
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,479
target but we do see the outline

79
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,320
we copy and concur 10 meters all right

80
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:19,199
we're less than 10 meters away again

81
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,240
we're closing

82
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:23,759
at that rate of less than a tenth of a

83
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,919
meter per second

84
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:28,240
we should be just about one minute 45

85
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:31,280
seconds away from docking

86
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,280
there is a centerline camera

87
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,880
right in that middle so that you can see

88
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:36,240
where the ford hatch is

89
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,240
and right in the middle of that there's

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,600
a window and there's a centerline camera

91
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,040
that is aligned with the center of the

92
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,840
vehicle and the center of the docking

93
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,840
mechanism

94
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,680
so that is is what the autonomous

95
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,639
docking system is using

96
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:57,840
to line up with sort of a cross hatch

97
00:04:52,639 --> 00:05:01,759
cross target on the the docking port

98
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:06,880
again the forward docking port on

99
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:11,840
pma2 or the pressurized mating adapter

100
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,840
and we are just five meters away

101
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,560
again we're racing that sunset this

102
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:20,000
dragon continues to close

103
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:25,840
four meters to go the shadows of

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,840
the of the space station on the vehicle

105
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:31,840
yeah you can actually see the centerline

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,680
camera pretty clearly there

107
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:34,960
sort of with the contrast of the sun

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,840
right now

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,840
three meters to go

110
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
two meters

111
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,039
we are inside the hands off point the

112
00:05:51,120 --> 00:06:07,840
chop the crew hands off point

113
00:05:53,039 --> 00:06:07,840
one meter to go

114
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,120
soft capture complete

115
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,840
soft capture confirmed standby for

116
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,840
retraction and docking

117
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,560
and we just heard it soft capture we

118
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,919
have docking

119
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,800
that coming at 7 16 a.m

120
00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:35,479
pacific time with the station and dragon

121
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,960
flying

122
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:42,960
262 statute miles right over the border

123
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,039
between northern china and mongolia

124
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,639
you saw a little bit of motion there of

125
00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:48,000
dragon that was that relative motion

126
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:51,680
that the soft capture system

127
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,600
is damping out once that motion is

128
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,039
is clear then

129
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,840
[Music]

130
00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:59,120
the soft capture system will be retract

131
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:03,840
retracted

132
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,840
and dragon will go for hard capture

133
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:13,440
again if just now tuning in

134
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,080
that soft capture that docking coming 7

135
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,080
16

136
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,039
a.m pacific 10 16 a.m over on the east

137
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,520
coast

138
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:24,960
dragon and the international space

139
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,560
station we're flying 262 statute miles

140
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,680
right over the border between northern

141
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,199
china and mongolia

142
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,960
that soft capture ring now going to

143
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:37,039
retract it's one more step

144
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,039
on the way to docking complete

145
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,919
yeah and so the the next step here is

146
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,960
once once the soft capture ring is

147
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:49,919
retracted

148
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,759
there are 12 latches that we refer to as

149
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:53,840
hard capture latches

150
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:55,360
those are what will really create that

151
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,199
pressure tight seal

152
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,400
between the dragon spacecraft and the

153
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,400
international space station

154
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,000
so once soft capture is complete and i

155
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,039
believe we'll get that call from

156
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,080
from our core here anna

157
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:15,360
then we'll get we'll get confirmation

158
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,400
of hard capture and the crew of course

159
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,960
aboard have

160
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,879
have this information on their displays

161
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,680
so they'll also see indication of our

162
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:23,680
capture complete

163
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,039
and once those two steps are done then

164
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,720
that's that's docking complete

165
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:32,880
that's right we're we're expecting to

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,200
hear some words from everybody

167
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,320
a pretty monumental moment i mean for

168
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,680
doug hurley he's

169
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,519
returning to where he last docked almost

170
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:42,959
nine years ago on the very last space

171
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:45,279
shuttle mission

172
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:47,200
now commanding the very first commercial

173
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:49,839
spacecraft to deliver astronauts to the

174
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,519
international space station

175
00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:53,360
that's that's got to be cool for them

176
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:56,160
they've they've mentioned quite a few

177
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,000
times that they're best friends uh

178
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,519
our favorite dads in space as we've been

179
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,880
calling them this is

180
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:06,839
this has got to be really cool for them

181
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,839
dragon spacex docking sequence is

182
00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:09,839
complete

183
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:25,839
next dragon we copy dock incomplete

184
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:28,640
to say that it's been a real honor to be

185
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:30,800
just a small part of this uh 90-year

186
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,200
endeavor since the last time the united

187
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,640
states

188
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,360
spaceship has stopped with the

189
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,839
international space station

190
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,480
we have to congratulate the men and

191
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:42,160
