>> THIS IS MISSION CONTROL
HOUSTON.
HELLO AND WELCOME.
YOU ARE JOINING US LIVE FROM THE
FLIGHT CONTROL ROOM TO COVER THE
HATCH CLOSING PROCEDURES OF THE
STARLINER SPACECRAFT.
IT HAS BEEN A BUSY ALMOST FOUR
DAYS DOCKED TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION AND WE ARE SEEING
BEGINNING OF THE END OF THIS
MISSION.
>> YEAH.
SO WE HAVE BEEN HERE ALL MORNING
AND IT HAS BEEN REALLY NEAT TO
SEE THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION ASTRONAUTS IN AND OUT OF
THE STARLINER CAPSULE AND THEY
HAVE REPORTED THAT IT HAS BEEN
EASY TO MANEUVER INSIDE OF THE
STARLINER SPACECRAFT AND THAT
CARGO IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO
GET IN AND OUT THEN ANOTHER
FLIGHT TEST OBJECTIVE ACHIEVE
THEN ONE THAT CAN ONLY BE FULLY
CONFIRMED ON ORBIT.
THEN, SO, CLOSING OUT THINGS
INSIDE OF THE STARLINER THEN
GETTING READY FOR THE HATCH
CLOSURE.
FOLLOWING LIVE THEN GETTING
THOSE LIVE VIEWS NOW INSIDE OF
THE STARLINER'S SPACECRAFT AND
THEN YOU CAN SEE IN THE FRONT
THERE AND THE ROCETTIER AND THEN
IT IS BOB HINES THEN KJELL
LINDGREN.
LINDREN ON THE CLOSEOUT DUTY AND
SEEING THE HATCH AT HIS FEET IF
YOU SEE THE OPEN AREA THAT LEADS
UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION AND THEN TODAY WILL BE A
COVERING THIS CLOSING OF THAT
HATCH.
WE ARE LOOKING AT LIVE VIEW
THERE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION AND THE SPACEX CREW
DRAGON.
>> THESE VIEWS HAVE PART OF THE
INTERNAL VIDEO SYSTEM CALLED
MUSTANG.
THERE ARE FOUR CAMERAS INSIDE OF
THE STARLINER SPACECRAFT AND WE
ARE SEEING A COUPLE OF THEM AS
WE CONTINUE TO COVER THE HATCH
CLOSURE OPERATIONS OF THE
STARLINER'S SPACECRAFT.
THAT VIEW ONE OF SEVERAL INSIDE
OF THE STARLINER'S SPACECRAFT
THAT HAS THE BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE
OF THE SPACECRAFT LOOKING TOWARD
ETHER AND IN THIS PARTICULAR
VIEW FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
NOW THE STARLINER HAS BEEN
DOCKED FOR ALMOST FOUR DAYS
ATTACHING ITSELF TO 7:28P.M.
CENTRAL TIME ON FRIDAY THE
20TH.
THEN, OF COURSE, THERE WERE A
NUMBER OF FLIGHT TEST OBJECTIVES
THAT WERE ACCOMPLISHED ON THE
RIDE TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION SINCE IT HAS BEEN DOCKED
FOR ALMOST FOUR DAYS THERE HAVE
BEEN A NUMBER THE CREW AND THE
TEAMS HERE ON THE GROUND IN
MISSION CONTROL HOUSTON BOTH
HERE THE INTERNATIONAL NATIONAL
SPACE STATION FLIGHT CONTROL
ROOM DOWN THE HALL AND HERE IN
HOUSTON AND THEY HAVE BEEN GOING
THROUGH A NUMBER OF FLIGHT TESTS
OBJECTIVES THEN, SO YOU CAN SEE
ONE OF THEM, ONE OF THEM, WELL.
>> I AM BACK IN THE LAB.
3 IS THE STOP I AM ON FOR
CALIBRATING.
WHEN I PRESS 0 AND 3.
IF I WENT 0-2 I GET A SET OF
CALIBRATION LINES AND I CANNOT
TELL IF THEY ARE THE RIGHT ONES.
>> CHECKING.
>> WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
PATIENCE.
EVERY TIME WE DO THIS, WE LEARN
SOMETHING NEW.
THIS IS NO EXCEPTION.
>> NO PROBLEM.
>> I AM ONLY GETTING ONE LINE.
THEN I GET HALF OF TWO AND I
DON'T SEE ANYTHING FOR THE
OVERLAY SELECTION.
>> COPY.
THANK YOU FOR THAT INSIGHT.
GO AHEAD WITH THE CALIBRATION
BASED ON THOSE.
I THINK I HAVE IT LINED UP NOW.
THE ONLY THING THAT CREATED A
QUESTION MARK IN MY MIND IS
WHERE THE CONNECTOR IS AND THE
BOTTOM RIGHT AND THAT IS INSIDE
THE ARC OR THE CIRCLE AND IT
DOESN'T REALLY ALIGN OR IT
DOESN'T REALLY MATCH THAT
CONNECTOR, BUT THE ARC IS LINED
UP WITH THE WHY IT SO I THINK
THAT PART IS ACCURATE AND THE
OTHER THING I AM JUST NOT SURE
IF THAT IS LINING UP AND THAT IS
SUPPOSED TO BE THE PART THAT IT
LINES UP WITH OR NOT.
>> WE THINK IT IS LOOKS GOOD TO
US.
YOU CAN MOVE ON.
>> COPY. IT SOUNDS GOOD.
THE EXCHANGE YOU ARE HEARING--
>> COPY.
THE EXCHANGE YOU HEAR WITH THE
TEAMS HERE ON THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
>> FROZEN FROM WITH THE RED
BENDER IT WITH NO ACTIVE VIDEO
PLAYING.
>> THAT IS EXPECTED SINCE WE ARE
ABOUT TO DO THE SAME WORK IN THE
CUPOLA.
>> COPY ALL.
THE EXCHANGE YOU ARE HEARING
THROUGH THE SPACE TO GROUND
LOOPS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
YOU HEARD BOB HINES.
>> GO AHEAD ON TWO AND PRV.
>> DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE THAT PIN
YOU JUST DESCRIBED TO US?
LEAVE IT IN.
>> SO WE ARE TALKING IN
HINDSIGHT HERE, HEARING WORDS ON
THE GROUND YOU MAY HAVE HAD YOUR
HAND ON THE RIGHT PIN SO THE CAP
UNDERNEATH THE LOCKING DEVICE
AND PULLING THAT CENTER PIN TO
LOOSEN THE CAP.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
WE ARE GOING TO PULL THE PIN TO
LOSEN IT.
IT IS LIKE A LITTLE PRESSURE
BURP THEN WE PUSH TO RECEIVE THE
CAP AS THE THIRD STEP.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
WE HAVE DONE THAT.
YEAH.
AND THIS IS A GOOD DESCRIPTION.
GOOD CONFIG, THANKS.
THE EXCHANGE YOU WERE HEARING
ABOUT THE MPRV AND NEGATIVE
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE THAT IS
ACTUALLY LOCKED TO PROTECT
AGAINST OR ABORT TO THE WATER
AND IT WILL BE UNLOCKED FOR
ENTRY SINCE ABORTED TO THE WATER
IS LESS LIKELY.
>> THAT COMES FROM KJELL
LINDGREN WHO IS WORKING INSIDE.
HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE PREPARING
THE STARLINER FOR THE DEPARTURE
TOMORROW.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPACE
STATION, WORK ON A TOOL CALLED
THE R POP THE RENDEZVOUS AND THE
OPERATION PANEL THIS IS A
SOFTWARE THAT IS USED FOR
MONITORING THE STARLINERS
UNDOCKING AND RETREAT FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
WHICH WILL, OF COURSE, OCCUR
TOMORROW AND SOME OF THE
CONVERSATIONS YOU HEARD FRYER
THIS WAS BOB HINES SETTING THAT
YOU TOOL WHEN THEY GEAR UP FOR
MONITORING TAR LEARNS BACKING
AWAY TOMORROW.
>> ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SAYS
STATION WE ARE COVERING THE
HATCH CLOSURE AND THREE NACHS
HATCHES THAT SEPARATE THE INSIDE
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
FROM THE STARLINER SPACECRAFT
AND THE STARLINER'S HATCH AND
THEN THERE IS TWO HATCHES ON THE
SPACE STATION SIDE AND THIS ONE
PASS AND THE OTHER ON THE NODE 2
FORWARD PORT HARMONY OR NODE 2
FORWARD HATCH OF THE NODE
ITSELF.
BACK AWAY TO START
DEPRESSURIZING IN-BETWEEN THE
STATIONS HATCHES AND THE STAR
LINER HATCHES AND THEY HAVE GONE
THROUGH A NUMBER OF PROCEDURES
TO GET TO THIS POINT AND THE
NUMBER OF TEST OBJECTIVES THEN
ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL SEE IS
THIS ORANGE TUBE THAT YOU SEE
AND THIS IS THE VENTING SYSTEM
THAT BRINGS STATION AIR TO MIX
INSIDE OF THE STARLINER'S
SPACECRAFT AND INTRODUCE THAT
STATION INTO THE SPACECRAFT.
DOING A GOOD JOB RELYING TO MIX
THAT AIR AND MICROGRAVITY HAS A
ABILITY TO FORM POCKETS OF
CARBON DIOXIDE SO MIXING THE AIR
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION POCKETS FROM FORMING
THEN REDUCES THE NEED FOR
STARLINER TO PROVIDE ITS OWN
ENVIRONMENT LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS
TO SUPPORT THE INSIDE OF THE
SPACECRAFT WHEN THE HATCH IS
OPEN AND RELY ON THAT ITSELF TO
PULL THE HOST AWAY BEFORE THEY
ACTUALLY CLOSE THE HATCH AND
CHECK ON THE OTHER VARIOUS
SYSTEMS BUT GOING THROUGH A LOT
OF FLIGHT TEST OBJECTIVES THEN
STEPS TO GET UP TO THIS POINT.
>> FROM THE HATCH CLOSURE
PERSPECTIVE.
IT IS HATCH OPEN BUT IN REVERSE.
THEN SO THE ASTRONAUTS WILL
CLEAN AND INSPECT THE
INTRA-VEHICULAR ACTIVITY OR IVA
HATCH BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO
PLACING.
KITE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO
SETTLE INTO THE RIGHT LOCATION
BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY CLOSE IT.
>> THEY WILL CRANK THE HATCH
RIGHTY TIGHTY THIS TIME INSTEAD
OF LEFTY LOOSEY ANCHOR THE
PRESSURE KNOBS AND MONITOR THE
FRESH HOUR OF THE VEHICLE.
THE PRESSURIZATION OF THE
VEHICLE.
>> AS WE FOLLOW ALONG WATCHING
KJELL LINDGREN HERE GET READY TO
CLOSE THAT HATCH.
THIS, OF COURSE, COMES AT THE
BACK END OF NEARLY FOUR DAYS TO
DOCKED TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION AND SPEND ANOTHER
DAY DOCKED CLOSING THE HATCHES
TEST AND DOING SO NICE AND EARLY
AND AHEAD OF CRUDE SPACECRAFT WE
SEE THE HATCH CLOSURE MUCH
CLOSER TO A SPACECRAFT'S
DEPARTURE WHEN THE INSIDE BUT
WITHOUT CREW WE CAN DO SO MUCH
MUCH EARLIER AND A LOT OF
OBJECTIVES THAT HAVE BEEN, THAT
HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED EVERYBODY
THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
AND NOW DURING THE DOCKED PHASE
WE WERE ABLE TO VERIFY AUDIO
CHECKS AS WELL AS THE STARLINER
SPACECRAFT AND ABLE TO TEST
ENVIRONMENT INSIDE OF THE
STARLINER SPACECRAFT ITSELF AND
WE WERE ABLE TO TEST CONNECTION
WHICH IS ESTABLISHED SHORTLY
AFTER DOCKING THROUGH UMBILICAL
CONNECTION THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION AND OF COURSE MANY
OTHER OBJECTIVES AS WELL.
ALL OF THOSE PRIME TEST
OBJECTIVES AND THEN SO MANY MORE
WE WERE ABLE TO RECHARGE THE
SPACECRAFT BATTERIES FROM THE
STATION'S POWER AND WE WERE ABLE
TO GET THAT THE VISION-BASED
OPTICAL CENTER AND TRACKING
ASSEMBLY DATA DOWN TO THE GROUND
THROUGH THE ISS LINK AND WE WERE
ALSO ABLE TO EVALUATE THE
ONBOARD PALLET AND BASICALLY
PRACTICED TRANSFERRING FILES
FROM THE GROUND THE TABLET
THROUGH THE ISS UPDATING THE
CONFIGURATION AND THOSE TABLETS
SERVE AS REPLACEMENT TO BULKY
PAPER FLIGHT MANUAL THAT
INCLUDES CHECKLISTS, TIMELINE
AND ET CETERA.
SO WHEN WE GET A CREW FLIGHT
TEST THE CREW FLIGHT WILL BE
PAYING A LOT OF ATTENTION TO
THOSE TABLETS FOR MANUAL FOR
CHECKLISTS IN TIMELINES.
AND CARGO AND THE STARLINER
SPACECRAFT AND CERTAIN MODES
THROBBING THE DOCKED PHASE ONE
MODE AND THEN THIS IS SORT OF A
STANDBY MODE AND STARLINER IS
ATTACHED TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION AND THE CONTINUOUS
MONITORING BUT REALLY NOT A LOT
OF ACTIVE SYSTEMS THEN MOSTLY ON
STANDBY AND THAT MODE IS WHAT IS
DEMONSTRATE FOR THE LONG
DURATION MISSIONS AND OF COURSE,
STARLINER THE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE
AFTER THIS FLIGHT TEST
DEMONSTRATION AND A FUTURE CRUDE
FLIGHT TEST DEMONSTRATION IS FOR
IT TO SERVE AS CREW ROTATION
VEHICLE AND BRINGS THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION IN
SIX MONTH INCREMENTS EVALUATE
THAT MODE WHICH WILL TAKE IN THE
MAJORITY OF SIX MONTHS THAT
STARLINER ITSELF IS DOCKED TO
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
>> GO AHEAD.
COPY.
THANK FOR THE UPDATE.
WE ARE READY.
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.
>> NOW A HANDOVER.
SOME OF THE VIDEO COMING DOWN
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION YOU CAN SEE THE TEAMS
HERE IN THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION FLIGHT CONTROL TEAMS
THERE WORKING THROUGH SOME OF
THE PROCEDURES THAT WILL WRAP UP
IN THE END OF THE ASTRONAUT'S
DAY HERE ABOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
OPERATING AT GREEN ITCH MEANTIME
WE ARE SHY OF 1800GMT SOME OF
THE LAST THING THAT'S THE CREW
WILL BE DOING TODAY IS WORK
THROUGH THE OPERATIONS TO CLOSE
THE HATCH TO THE STARLINER.
SO AGAIN WE ARE FOLLOWING ALONG.
KJELL LINDGREN GETTING READY TO
CLOSE THE FIRST OF THREE HATCHES
THE FIRST ONE BEING THE
STARLINER'S SPACECRAFT WHICH
WILL BE IN THE OF OUR COVERAGE
TODAY.
AND OF COURSE THE LAUNCHED AT
6:54:00P.M. EASTERN TIME ON
THURSDAY MAY19.
AND SEPARATED THE LAUNCH VEHICLE
AND THE ROCKET ITSELF AND
PERFORMED AN ORBITAL BURN TO
BEGIN MORE THAN AS IT TURN OUT
24-HOUR JOURNEY THOUGH
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
NOW AFTER THE ORBITAL BURN THERE
WERE A NUMBER THAT WERE FORMER
IN ORBIT AND THERE WERE
CHECKOUTS OF THE ABORT ENGINES
THEN ALTITUDE HOLD AND CONTROL
AND THEN THERE WAS
DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE ASTRONAUTS
FROM ABOARD THE SPACE STATION
COMMANDING AGE WE SAW RETREAT
FROM INSIDE OF THE KEEP OFF
SPHERE AND UNDERSTANDING THE
STARLINER AND OBEY THE RULES
THAT WERE PROGRAMMED WITHIN THE
SPACECRAFT ITSELF AND THEN OF
COURSE, CAME JUST BEFORE IT
PUSHED IN FOR DOCKING WITH THE
FORWARD PORT OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION WHAT
YOU ARE SHEERING RAILROAD
RECORDED VIEWS FROM FRIDAY
MAY20TH AND THEN THE STAR
LINE EAR SPACECRAFT APPROACHED
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
FOR THE FIRST TIME TO SEE THE
HATCH COVER IS OPEN AND WHAT IS
DALED THE NASA DOING SYSTEM AT
THE FORWARD ENDS THAT CIRCULAR
ELEMENT IN THE CENTER OF THE
SPACECRAFT THIS VIEW ATTACHED
ITSELF TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
CONFIRMED SOFT CAPTURE WITH THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AT
7:28P.M. CENTRAL TIME MATING
THE TWO SPACECRAFTS TOGETHER THE
BOEING STARLINER IN THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN SPACE.
THIS OF COURSE WHAT YOU ARE
SEEING IS A TIME LAPSED OR SPED
UP VERY, OF THE VERY METHODICAL
AND SLOW DURE THAT WITH WE SAW
DURING THE OPERATIONS ON FRIDAY
NATABEC LIVE VIEWS SIGNED OF THE
STARLINER SPACECRAFT.
>> YOU WHAT ARE SEEING HERE IS
THE WIDE CABIN VIEW INSIDE OF
THE STARLINER SPACECRAFT THAT
WHITE CARGO BAGS HER TO WHITE
CARGO BAGS ARE ACTUALLY NOT THE
CARGO GAGES THEN UNDERNEATH THEM
AND AROUND THEM ARE THE BLUE.
THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SCREEN YOU
CAN SEE THAT TOOL AND THE
MATERIAL AGAIN THEN SO AGAIN THE
HATCH IS STILL THE STORED
LOCATION AS THE ASTRO NOTES
CONTINUE THEIR CLOSEOUT ACTIONS.
>> WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS WHAT
WILL TAKE OVER THE MAY OVER
THERE NASA WILL BE RETURNING
WITH DESERT LANDING OR TARGETING
SPACE HARBOR OVER IN NEW MEXICO
AS THE LANDING SITE.
ABOUT 400POUNDS OF THAT IS
CALLED TANKS.
AND THESE PROVIDE NITROGEN AND
OXYGEN TANKS WHICH RECHARGED THE
SYSTEMS THAT APPLIED TO SPACE
STATION WITH BREATHABLE AIR THE
AIR IN SIDE IS A MIX THAT YOU
WOULD SEE AT SEA LEVEL ON EARTH
A VERY HEALTHY MIX OF NITROGEN
AND OXYGEN WITH THE SYSTEMS AND
SCRUBBING DIOXIDE AND CARBON DIE
OXIDE AS THEY CONTINUE TO BREATH
AND THREE OF THESE TANKS ARE
LOWED AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE
CARGO BAGS HER AND LOAD,
STRAPPED IN, READY TO GO FOR THE
RIDE THEM TO RETURN BACK TO THE
PLANET EARTH SO THE TEAM TONS
THE GROUND CAN REFILL THEM AND
SEN THEM BACK UP TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
YOU KNOW WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT
STARLINER WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED
TO BRING ON THE FLIGHT BUT THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION TO
BRING THOSE RECHARGEABLE TANKS
HOME THE STARLINER AND THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
TEAMS WORK TOWING TO UNDERSTANDS
HOW TO BRING THEM HOME SAFELY
AND HOW TO WORK ON THE MASS
PROPERTIES AROUND THE CENTER OF
GRAVITY STARLINER NEED ON THE
RETURN HOME SO SIT NICE SEE
THOSE PACKED IN NICE AND TIGHT
THERE.
AND ISS WORKING TO BRING OUT AND
PULLBACK IN CARGO TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION DOWN
HER ON THE GROUND AT JOHNSON SEA
SPACE CENTER ROLLING THROUGH THE
PROCEDURES AS WELL IN THE
MOCK-UP TRAINER WHICH IS WHERE
THEY GET TO THE STARLINER.
SITTING NEXT TO THE CAPCOM TODAY
WHO IS ROB IS AND WITH THE HATCH
CLOSURE AND RELAY HER EXPERTISE
TO THE TEAMS HERE IN MY CROWS
HOUSTON BE THE VOICE UP TO THE
CLUE ARE ACTUALLY PERFORMING THE
OPERATIONS IN SPACE.
>> COPY.
YOU CAN CALL US BACK IF NEEDED.
WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO 2.6.12
CABIN TEMPERATURE KNOB IT IS IN
A GOOD POSITION FROM YESTERDAY.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE TAPE IS
STILL APPLIED.
CHECK TO SEE IF THE TAPE IS
STILL THERE.
>> THIS NEW VIEW HERE FOR
CLOSING THE HATCH OF THIS
SKYLINER.
LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE WAVE THERE.
>> VERY FITTING AS THIS WILL BE
THE LAST INTERACTION BETWEEN
ROSY THE ROCK COAT HERE AND
HEADED TOWARD CLOSING THE HATCH
THAT YOU SEE TON THE TOPLOFTY
CORNER OF THE SCREEN.
KJELL LINDGREN NOW INSIDE OF THE
VEHICLE NOW WORK ON THE CONTROL
SYSTEM PRESSURE PANEL ONBOARD
THE BOEING STAR LUNIER ONE OF
SEVERAL STEPS THAT IS NEEDED TO
CLOSE OUT THE VEHICLE ONE OF
THEM OF COURSE WILL BE TALKING
THAT DUCT THAT YOU SEE COMING
THROUGH THE HATCHWAY AND THAT IS
MIXING SPACE STATION AIR
REMOVING THAT OF COURSE CLOSING
THE HATCH AND BEFORE CLOSING THE
HATCH.
>> ALREADY IN THE SEAT IS THE
GRAVITY INDICATOR.
HE FLEW ON THE STARLINER
SPACECRAFT, WENT THROUGH ASSENT
AND DODGING RIGHT ALONGSIDE ROSY
AND YOU CAN SEE HIM THERE IN
PREVIOUS VIEW.
THE RUN ARE NOT SEEING HIM IN
THE LIVE VIEWS THE TETHER IS
ALREADY IN PLACE AND THEY HAVE A
LITTLE BIT LOWER MAR THE LEG
REST SO KIND OF IN BETWEEN SEAT
1 SECOND BELOW THE LINE OF CAR
GE AND SEE IF THEY ADJUST HIM A
BIT BEFORE THEY EXIT THE CREW
CABIN.
PART OF THE PROCEDURES THAT
KJELL IS GOING THROUGH NOW IS
CHECKING THE SWITCHES INSIDE AND
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT CREW
MEMBER WAS BE DOING IF THERE ARE
THE ONES COMING HOME GETTING THE
VEHICLE READY TO FLY HOME.
>> THERE YOU SEE KJELL TAKING
PICTURES OF THE SWITCHED
POSITIONS TO HELP GROUND
CONTROLLERS UNDERSTAND THE
STARLINER IS IN AND YOU CAN SEE
THERE HELPING TO HOLD HIS
TABLET.
KJELL UNDER THE DISPLAY OF THE
BOEING STARLINER AND CONSIDERING
THE SOFTWARE THAT WILL BE USED
TOMORROW FOR MONITORING AND
STARLINERS UNDOCK AND EXIT FROM
THE APPROACH ELLIPSOID THAT WILL
IN THE JOINT OPERATIONS AFTER
CONTROL TEAMS AND NOW GOING
THROUGH OR THE LAST.
AND BEFORE CLOSING THE HATCH
THEN GETTING READY FOR THAT
UNDOCK.
NOW ENSURING THE NASA DOCKING
SYSTEM IS CONFIGURE BEFORE THEY
EXIT THE VEHICLE.
AND THERE ON THE DISPLAY PANEL.
BE A REMOVE THE COLOR THEN STOW
THEM APPROPRIATELY AND THE LAST
THING ON HIS TO DO LIST BEFORE
THEY CALL DO IN THE GROUND THAT
ALL INDIVIDUAL DOORS AND THE
CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN
FORMER TO CLOSE THE HATCH.
SOL THEY ARE WORKING THROUGH THE
TIMELINE NOW TO MAKE SURE THOSE
ARE IN PLACE.
LOOK LIKE LIND GREEN IS DOING
THEM IN THAT SO ON THE LAST STEP
BEFORE THEY ARE READY TO
CONFIGURE FOR HATCH CLOSURE.
>> THOSE PROTECTIVE SWITCH
COVERS WILL BE STOWED IN THE ONE
OF THE RETURN TO FLIGHT AND
MENTIONED THE LAST THINGS THEY
DO THEY WILL PUT THAT INTO PLACE
BEFORE CLOSING THE HATCH.
WE COP FIZZ CONFIGURE.
THANKS.
JUST BEFORE YOU LEAVE WE WANTED
TO ASK FOR A VISUAL CONVERSATION
ON THE LYING SITUATION CAN YOU
CONFIRM THAT ALL FIVE ARE ON.
WE SEE ALL FIVE RIGHT NOW.
ALL FIVE.
THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE CREWS
COULD COMMUNICATE AND OTHER FROM
INSIDE OF STARLINER WHILE ON THE
ORBIT.
ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THIS
SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE BOB HINES
THERE GOING AHEAD AND STOWING
THOSE POSITION COVERS IN ONE OF
THE CARGO BAGS.
NOW YOU SEE ABOVE LINDREN'S HEAD
FROM THE VAN PAGE POINT, THE
VIEW REALLY OF ROSY THE ROCKET
THERE IS A WINDOW THAT IS ON THE
STAR LINE EAR SPACECRAFT AND YOU
ARE STARTING TO SEE THIS VIEWS
COME OF THE INTERIOR OF THE
STARLINER'S SPACECRAFT GET A
LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER THIS IS AS
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE THE
STARLINER SPACECRAFT PASSED INTO
ORBITAL DAYTIME ROOTING NOW THE
INTERNATIONAL SURFACE STATION IS
271 STATUTE MILES OVER THE SOUTH
PACIFIC OCEAN EAST OF THE COAST
OF NEW ZEALAND.
WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE VISUAL
CONFIRMATION WITH RETURNING
HOME ON STARLINER IF ANYONE IS
WONDERING, THAT IS A VISUAL
CONFIRMATION.
STARLINER HOUSTON, IT LOOKED
LOOK KJELL YOU MAY HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO TALK.
WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING, BUT GO
AHEAD.
COPY.
WE CONCUR WITH YOU STEPPING INTO
PART TWO.
THAT WILL BE STEP THREE.
FOR TO YOU PERFORM THE
CALIBRATION ON BOTH CAMERAS ON
BOTH AND WE ARE FINE IF YOU WANT
TO AND CONTINUE TO HELP OUT.
WE THINK WE GOT PLENTY OF TIME
FOR YOU TO DO THAT.
>> YEAH.
ACTUALLY JUST CAME BACK TO THE
CUPOLA SINCE WE ARE DAYLIGHT AND
GOT GOOD EXCEPT FOR LOWER
OUTBOARD ARE BOARD AND THE SUN
GLARING STRAIGHT THE CRAM SHOULD
BE ABLE TO GET THE OTHER
CALIBRATIONS DONE AND SEE WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THAT ONE.
THE STARLINER SPACECRAFT WHILE
IT IS DOCKED TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
EARLIER TODAY THE CANADA ARM THE
ROBOTIC ARM WAS USED FOR A
PLANNED EXTERIOR INSPECTION OF
THE STARLINER'S SPACECRAFT AND
NOW LISTEN TO DO THIS SINCE, FOR
THE FIRST FLIGHT TEST SO THEY
COULD LEARN ABOUT THE VEHICLE
PRAY TO THE CREW FLIGHT TEST AND
FOLLOW ON LONG DURATION FLIGHTS
POSSIBLE AND THROUGH THAT
INSPECTION THE STARLINER'S
PROTECTION SYSTEM WAS CLEARED
FOR RE-ENTRY.
THAT US RIGHT IT IS WORTH NOTING
THAT THE NASA AND THE
INTERNATIONAL PART NEARS AS WELL
AS BOEING PULLED A GO FOR UNDOCK
AND SPREAD DOING WITH A LANDING
TOMORROW SOL WE ARE TRACKING
TOWARD THAT FOR UNDOCKING
TOMORROW.
THIS COME AT TIMELY AMERICAN OF
GETTING READY FOR THE STARLINER
THE WEATHER LOOKS GOOD.
THE SYSTEMS CONTINUE TO BE
MONITOR AND CHECKED UT AND
TARGETING FOR TOMORROW TO UNDOCK
AND WE DO HAVE THAT GO.
YOU SEE THE INTRA MODULAR VALVE
THE ORANGE DUCT THAT WAS SNAKING
ITS WAY INSIDE THE BOEING
STARLINER THROUGH THE HATCHWAY
THERE.
YOU CAN SEE HAS BEEN REMOVED
FROM THE BOEING STARLINER THESE
ARE SOME OF THE FINAL STENS
BEFORE WE GET THE HATCH CLOSURE
ITSELF.
A COUPLE MORE STEPS OF WHEN WE
ACTUALLY SEE THAT HATCH CLOSE
WHICH IS REMINDER THAT IS A FREE
FLOAT K HATCH SAN SEE THIS COME
TO VIEW ONCE THEY GET TO THAT
FROM THIS VIEW OF THE SCREEN YOU
CAN MAKE IT OUT AND THAT
LIABILITY OBJECT OVER TO THE
BOTTOM LEFT OF THIS PAR TOOK
DOLLARS VIEW.
BUT WE ARE WELL ON THE WAY
THROUGH THE OBJECTIVES TO GET
STARLINE FOR HATCH CLOSURE.
AND WE'LL BE SEEING THIS
INCREMENTALLY THROUGHOUT THE
COVERAGE OF THE STARLINER HATCH
CLOSURE SEQUENCES.
YOU CAN SEE THE SPACE STATION
RIGHT NOW IS OVER THE SOUTH
PACIFIC OCEAN AS WE FLY OVER THE
EARTH EVERY 90 MINUTES WE LOSE
COMMUNICATION WITH THE TRACKING
DATA AND RELAY SATELLITES THAT
WE HAVE THAT PROVIDE THAT
CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
THE STARLINER AND WE ARE GOING
TO HAND OVER BETWEEN SOME OF
THOSE SATELLITE AND WE'LL BE
REGAINING VIEWS VERY SHORTLY.
WE ARE HERE READY TO CONTINUE
AND HERE WE HAVE TO PASS FOR YOU
FOR STEP CONCERNING STEP 4 AND
GOING TO CALL YOU ON THE TIE
DOWNS IS BUNGEES THERE THAT YOU
PLACE AND WANT YOU TO REMOVE
THOSE BACK TO THE ISS
AFFIRMATIVE.
NEXT ONE TO TALK YOU ABOUT STEP
4 AND A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING.
WE NEEDED TO DO IS MAKE SURE THE
HANDLE IS FULLY COUNTERCLOCKWISE
SO FULL COUNTERCLOCKWISE THE
UNLATCHED POSITION AND OF NOTE
THIS IS NOT GOING TO LINE-UP
WITH THE MARKING THAT SAYS
SPECIAL AND NOT LINE UP AND
FULLY BE AND ON FULL COUNT
COUNTERCLOCKWISE AND
AFFIRMATIVE.
AND EVERYBODY IS READY FOR YOU.
STEP FOUR NOW.
THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
FLUS GET A CHANCE TURN ON THE
NODE 2 CAMERA AND WE CAN WATCH
THE EGRESS ACTIVES.
AND HE IS GOING TO GET READY FOR
HATCH CLOSURE.
THEY HAVE CHECKED OUT THE
STARLINER SYSTEM AND REMOVED
SOME THE SWITCH COVER AND THERE
WAS ORANGE DUCT PROVIDING
STATION.
AND WORK THROUGH THE STEPS TO
CLOSE THE HATCH ITSELF AND HEARD
WHAT IS DELL OR CHANGES IN SOME
OF THE STEPS AND INCLUDING AND
WE'LL GET CONFIRMATION ONCE
KJELL LINDGREN HAS MOVED THE WAY
THROUGH THE PROCEDURES TO
SUCCESSFULLY CLOSE THE
STARLINER'S HATCH IN THE
MEANTIME ON THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION SIDE SEWING UP A
CAMP CALM ARE AND GETTING GREAT
VIEW SIGNED OF THE STARLINER
SPACECRAFT AND WOE MAY BE SEEING
THE INSIDE OF THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION.
>> RETURNING TO EARTH IN HER
SPACESUIT.
CAN SEE THAT HERE.
THIS IS CALLED THE LAUNCH AND IN
TRY SUIT.
AND NOT OUTFITTED WITH ANN
SENSORS HERSELF.
WE USED THE DATA PORTS TO
COLLECT DATA FROM CENSURES
PLACED ALONG THE STARLINER SEAT
PALLET AND THAT HOLDS ALL THE
CREW SEATS IN PLACE AND THE DATA
FROM THOSE SENSORS WILL BE USED
TO ENSURE ALL FUTURE CREW
MEMBERS HAVE A SAFE AND
ENJOYABLE RIDE AND PARTICULARLY
ON LANDING IS WHAT THE TEAMMATES
HERE ON STARLINER WILL BE PAYING
CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT IS
LANDING LIKE FOR THE
CREWMEMBERS.
SOUNDS GOOD.
I WILL COME IN THERE AND HELP
OUT.
THANKS.
KJELL LINDGREN INSIDE OF THE
STARLINER SPACECRAFT CONFIGURING
FOR HATCH CLOSURE AND BOB PINES
HAS BEEN GETTING A TOOL THAT
WILL BE USED TOMORROW FROM
MONITORING THE SPACECRAFT
UNDOCKING AND AND RETREAT FROM
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
AND HEADING TOWARD THE LANDING
AND TOMORROW LATE AFTERNOON
EARLY THIS EVENING.
AND WE NOW WORK TO CLOSE OUT
THESE OF GETTING THAT HATCH
CLOSED.
HOW ONE OF THE LAST PROCEDURES
FOR THE DUO FOR TONIGHT AND THEN
GETTING THE HATCH CLOSED THEN,
THEN, THEY WILL WORK TO
DEPRESSURIZE THE VESTIBULE THAT
ONCE THIS HATCH IS CLOSED, THE
STATION HATCH ARE HATCH WILL BE
CLOSED THEN DEPRESSURIZE THE
VOLUME IN BETWEEN THOSE AND LET
THAT SIT OVERNIGHT AND WITH NO
CREW INSIDE THE STARLINER'S
SPACECRAFT BESIDE FROM ROSY AND
AND DO THESE EARLIER THAN WE
TYPICALLY SEE FOR CREW MISSIONS.
LET THAT SIT OVERNIGHT AND THEN
GET READY FOR UNDOCKING
OPERATIONS TOMORROW AFTERNOON
U.S. TIME.
>> YOU CAN SEE HERE BOB HINES
GOING THROUGH THE FINAL CARGO
BAG AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY IN SEN
OF IS SOME STRAPS FOR THE SIDE
HATCH.
AS WELL AS THE IVA HATCH.
TO POSITION TUNING IN FOLLOWING
ALONG WITH THE CREW GOING
THROUGH SOME OF THE FINAL STEP
TOES TO GET READY TO CLOSE THE
HATCH IN FRONT OF THE BOEING
STARLINER AND THERE WERE A
SERIES OF STRAPS THAT WERE
HOLDING SOME OF THE HATCHES IN
PLACE THROUGHOUT IT'S TIME
DOCKED TO THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION FOR FOUR DAY THEN
SEE THE CREW UPPING UP THE CARGO
BAGS THEN PUTTING THOSE STRAPS
INTO A LITTLE BAG GOES AND
STOWING THEM AWAY AND THEY ARE
WORKING THROUGH THESE STEPS ONE
BAY ONE AND THE TWO OF THEM
TOGETHER INSIDE OF THE BOEING
STARLINER NOW AND NASA ASTRONAUT
KJELL LEND GREEN THROUGH THE
HATCH THERE ON THE TOP THEN BOB
HINES WORKING TOGETHER TO
CONFIGURE THE HATCH ITSELF AND
GET IT READY TO GUESS AND YOU
CAN SEE THE FINAL STEPS THERE
ALREADY UNDERWAY AND KJELL
LINDGREN MOVING THE COVER TO
PROTECT THE HATCH ITSELF AND
REVEALING THE HATCH AND THE IVA
THAT IS THE ONE THAT GOES IN
FRONT OF THE STARLINER AND
NEARING THE HATCH CLOSURE VERY
SOON HERE AND ONE OF THE FINAL
STEPS THERE REMOVING THE HATCH
COVER ITSELF AND FOLLOWING IT
AND STOWING YOU AT YOU WAY.
CLOSURE ACTIVITY WE NEED TO
DIRECT SOMEBODY TO GET THE KITS
WE FOR GOT TO PUT IT IN THE FOR
THAT ACTIVITY.
YOU CAN FIND YOU CAN FIND KIT 2
IN COLUMBUS FIND IN 1.0CTB OR
4080 LABELED KITS.
4080 IN COLUMBUS.
HOW MANY KITS DO WE NEED?
THAT WILL BE WITH ONE.
ONE KIT.
FOUR IN THERE.
YOU NEED TO GRAB 4-INCH VELCRO
STRIP AND GRAB THAT FROM THE
PANTRY AND HAVE IT 4 TRIPLE 2.
THAT IS NODE 1.
>> THIS VOICE YOU ARE HEARING IS
JESSICA WATKINS AT THE END OF
HER WORK DAY, SHE JUST WRAPPED
UP SOME EXERCISE THEN STARTED
PUTTING AWAY SOME SCIENTIFIC
SAMPLES SHE WILL NOW SEE HER
SORT OF FLOATING IN VIEW AND
COLLECTING THE HARD WARE
INCLUDING THE STRAPS TO START
THINKING ABOUT A COUPLE OF
HATCHES FROM NOW WHERE OF COURSE
WORKING ON THE IVA HATCH WHICH
IS THE HATCH THE NAME OF HATCH
ON THE BOEING STARLINER AND
THERE ARE TWO MORE HATCHES THERE
IS THE A PASS HATCH WHICH IS
CLOSE TO JET A WATKINS FEET IN
THIS YOU HAVE AND MUCH CLOSER
AND THE SORT OF SQUARE AREAS THE
NODE FORWARD HATCH AND PREPARING
SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT SHE WILL
NEED TO CLOSE THAT HATCH PRIOR
TO DID HE PRESSURIZING THE
VESTIBULE IN-BETWEEN THE BOEING
STARLINER AND THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION WORKING TOGETHER
AS TEAM TO GET THE HATCH CLOSED
AND DEPRESSURIZE TO GET READY
FOR THE STARLINER'S UNDOCKING
AND RETURN TO EARTH TOMORROW.
THE DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE
STARLINER HELPS THE STARLINER TO
PERFORM LEAK CHECKS.
VERY SIMILAR TO THE PROCEDURES
THAT WE WENT THROUGH WHEN
STARLINER LAUNCHED.
>> YOU GOT IT.
THANKS.
>> DOWN THE WANT TO LOSE YOUR
GOGGLES.
FRYER THE HATCH OPENING
PROCEDURES.
TAR LINER BEING A NEW VEHICLE
AND NO CREW ABOARD.
THAT ICED FOR CARGO MISSIONS
TODAY.
>> THERE WE SEE TAKE ADDITIONAL
CLOSEOUT PHOTOS THAT WILL BE
AUTOED TO CLOSE THE TAR LINER IN
A FEW MINUTES.
THE CAMERAS PROTECTED BY 3D
PRINTED COVERS.
IT IS A FREE FLOATING HATCH AND
WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS TWO VIEWS
FROM INSIDE OF THE BOEING STAR
LINE ARE THE CAMERAS THAT ARE
POSITIONED IN THERE THEN ANOTHER
CAMERAL VIEW POINTING DOWN TO
WHAT IS CALLED THE PRESSURIZED
MATING ADAPTER AND YOU CAN SEE
SORT OF SEE THE TWO CREWMEMBERS
AND BOB HINES WORKING TO GET
THAT HATCH CLOSED.
>> WE ARE NOW PRESSURING DOWN.
YOU CAN SEE FEATURES OF THE NASA
DOCKING SYSTEM ON THE BOEING
STARLINER'S SIDE AS WELL AS THE
INTERNATIONAL DOCKING ADAPT AND
THAT IS THE ADAPTER ALLOWS THE
BOEING STARLINER AND COMMERCIAL
CREW VEHICLES TO DOCK TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
THIS IS ADAPTER THAT IS AFFIXED
ON THE END OF THE PRESSURIZED
MATING ADAPTER WHICH HAS BEEN
USED ANOTHER PAST FEW DECADES
FOR SPACE SHUTTLES TO DOCK THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION AND
NOW WITH THE NEW GENERATION OF
COMMERCIAL SPACECRAFT THAT
INTERNATIONAL DOCKING ADAPTER
BEING USED AS INTERFACE FOR THE
FIRST TIME AND FOR THE BOEING
STARLINER.
NOW AGAIN HE IS WORKING WITH
KJELL LINDGREN TO CLOSE THE
TOUCH THE BOEING STARLINER.
WHAT KJELL IS DOING THERE IS
INSPECTING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
HATCH BEFORE THEY PUT THE HATCH
INTO PLACE AND REALLY IMPORTANT
THEY GET A GOOD SEAL SO THEY
WILL CLEAN IT IF THEY HAVE NOT
ALREADY AND DO INSPECTION THEN
LOOKS LIKE MAYBE HE IS DOING A
CHECK HERE.
SO ANY TWO SPACECRAFT CAN DOCK
WITH EACH OTHER IN SPICE THIS IS
REALLY GREATEST OF THAT SYSTEM
BEFORE NASA USES IT ON THE DEEP
SPACE MISSIONS.
THIS VIEW WE ARE GETTING SOME IN
SIGHT INTO THE DESIGN OF THE
NASA DOCKING SYSTEM.
HATCH CLOSURE.
WE JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM DOUBLE
CHECK THAT THE HATCH
EQUALIZATION VALVE ONE AND THIS
CAP IS SECURED AWAY FROM THE
VALVE AND OFFER UP USING A PIECE
OF TAPE.
ANY KIND.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TAPE.
AFFIRMATIVE.
AND HATCH VALVE 1.
STAND BY.
ASK.
>> REALLY INCREDIBLE VIEWS.
HOUSTON STARLINER.
VALVE 1 IS TO THE SIDE OF THE
VALVE AND VALVE 2 IS THE CAP
BEING INSTALLED RIGHT NOW.
COMPANY PI.
GOOD CONFIG ON BOTH.
>> KJELL MANEUVERING THE HATCH
INTO PLACE.
THE HATCH ITSELF WEIGHS ABOUT
100POUNDS SO CERTAINLY NOT
HEAVY AND NO WEIGHT IN SPACE AND
WORKING THROUGH HOW TO MANEUVER
WITH IT.
THAT IS ASTRONAUT BOB HINES
SUPPORTING THE OPERATIONS ALONG
THE WAY.
CAMERA IN HAND.
HE WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHING THE
HATCH FOR DOCUMENTATION FOR SO
THE TEAM ON THE GROUND CAN
ANALYZE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
OF COURSE THIS HATCH CLOSURE
COMES THE DAY BEFORE UNDOCKING
THE CREW WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AFTER THE
HATCH IS SECURELY SHUT AND YOU
CAN SEE KJELL MANEUVERING THE
LATCH NOW.
1:00.
>> AND IN THROUGH THE WINDOW OF
THE IVA HATCH YOU CAN SEE A
SILHOUETTE IN THERE.
KJELL WILL MAKE ONE AND ONE
QUARTER OF A TURN TO GOT THE
HATCH CLOSED IN NICE AND TIGHT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE
BEEN PRACTICING HER ON THE
GROUND AT TRAINING FACILITIES AT
JOHNSON SPACE CENTER BUT
CERTAINLY WORKING THROUGH THESE
HERE ON ORBIT IS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT WHEN THE ASTRONAUTS
WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
PART OF THAT PROCEDURE HERE WAS
POSITIONING THE HATCH IN SUCH
AND WAY SO THEY CAN TURN THE
HANDLE LIKE SAID ONE AND A
QUARTER TURNS AND FOR GUIDES
THAT ALLOW THEM TO MONITOR THE
POSITION AS THEY GET IT FULLY
ENGAGED.
THINK QUICKER DOGS ON THE SIDE
OF THE HATCH AND YOU POSITION
THE HATCH THEY NEED TO BE ON THE
INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE INSIDE OF
THE STARLINER.
THAT IS ONE WAY THINKING ABOUT
IT.
THE FIRST STATEMENT IS CORRECT.
THE KICKER ON THE INSIDE THE
VEHICLE SIDE OF THE STARLINER
AND POTENTIALLY HAS BEEN PULLED
IN TOO FOR AND THAT IS THE FIRST
THING THAT WE THOUGHT WHEN WE
ARE LOOKING AT THE VIDEO.
OK.
SOUNDS GOOD.
WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
CREW MEMBERS WERE SOMETHING WE
MENTIONED WITH.
OPEN ALMOST LIKE BUILT-IN BUTTER
KNIVES TO OPEN THE HATCH.
THE RIGHT SPOT TO GET A GOOD
LATCH.
