Transcripts For CSPAN NASA TV Coverage Of SpaceX Crew Dragon Return To Earth 20240712

Spacecraft, but everything looking good. We are five minutes into the de orbit burn. The dragon was flying 260 statute miles off the coast of australia. During this burn we heard a call we are halfway through and everything is looking great. Dougg this burn bob and are currently monitoring the de orbit tool which captures the reentry interface, how much distance remains before the burn itself is terminated, they are monitoring burn duration and the firing of the draco thrusters located on the forward bulkhead of the capsule. On your screen you can see what bob and doug are seeing. On the left and right of the Center Screen is the de orbit monitoring tool. Just past seven minutes into overurn and a little four minutes to go. Continuing to be on track for our splashdown. At splashdown time is right 11 48 a. M. And 24 seconds pacific. Is 18 48 universal. We are through the major steps to initiate reentry, the trunk burn hasthe deorbit begun. We have three and a half minutes remaining. On your screen is a shot of Mission Control at spacex headquarters in california where the dragon operators and Mission Leaders are monitoring dragons progress. They continue to watch the propulsion data, making sure everything is looking healthy and nominal. We are just about two minutes and 30 seconds until the end of burn. We will listen to the call up to the crew on the performance of the burn and they will move into the next step. We get a three minute breather before the next milestone comes up when we get ready to close the nosecone protecting the docking ring, navigation sensors, and these four thrusters performing the de orbit burn. Our at just under two minutes from deescalation of the burn. Dragon is committed to its splashdown point. There is no going back. Yeah. We have the Recovery Team ready and on standby. They have been there for quite some time now. We have about 90 seconds left in the burn. The weather is looking great off of pensacola. Around 2. 5 Miles Per Hour and the sea is like glass. We ended up getting fantastic weather for this splashdown of dragon. We are one minute away from the orbit burn. This is landing off the coast of pensacola, florida in the gulf of mexico and our recovery vessel and the Recovery Team are ready and waiting to see bob and doug come back through the atmosphere. [indiscernible] dragon burn complete. Performance nominal. Nosecone closure initiated. All right. Burn complete. We heard nominal burn. Bob and doug are on their way back home. This commits them to reentering the atmosphere. All we have left is to wait. That was one of the last major moments before they reenter the atmosphere. We will have the closure coming up next. That will come in a couple of minutes as we have a threeminute span. The nosecone is currently in the closing process. It does not just snap shut. It slowly closes and locks. That nosecone is in the process of moving back into closed position and we will have the call out for whenever it has fully closed and latches have secured. It looks like it is about halfway there. It opened a little more than 90 degrees. I think the exact count was 110 degrees for range of motion. We are a little more than halfway of getting that closed. I just heard we have visual on nosecone closure. It will take a minute for the hook to close. They close in a series. The first will close and the second will follow and that will take about a minute to complete. As we wait for the finish to that nosecone closure, we will , a little 20 minutes over 21 from now, before we reenter the atmosphere. Time we willthat also be looking for that blackout we have been talking about. We have had a little bit of ratty comms. Breakup in the audio transmission because of how dragon was oriented for the burn. Due blackout period will be to the plasma interfering with the antennas. I heard the call out that the first set of hooks for nosecone closure are in motion. This will complete in two sets. Really good news to hear that. Everything looking good so far. Before, in thed background, dragon has inhibited the forward bulkhead draco thrusters we used to complete orbit burn. Thevehicle has initiated nitrogen and oxygen burn. It is being purged into the system and cooled allowing the cool air to circulate the cabin, but also inside the suits. It will keep them cool and comfortable during reentry which will be coming up in 20 minutes. We are currently tracking 23 minutes and 20 seconds until entry begins. If you are just joining us, the nosecone has closed. The forward thrusters have been we are latching the nosecone, currently underway with the first set of hooks. Ets. First of two s confirmation the first set of hooks has closed, so the second set will begin to close as well. As we mentioned after this nosecone is closed we will have a couple of minutes to catch our breath, about 20 minutes, until dragon will maneuver itself into the entry altitude, pointing the heatshield in the direction of travel as it will be leading the way through entry into the atmosphere. We will look to run into that Communications Blackout 36 minutes after the hour and that will last about six minutes. We will get that back shortly before we deploy the parachutes followed less than a minute later by the main parachute and then we should have views of dragon reentering the atmosphere, parachuting to a splashdown in the gulf. In the front row of Mission Control in the center you can see ceo elon musk and our president , gwen, sitting sidebyside. Two, it is to those filled with Mission Leaders and operators who are monitoring the health and telemetry of the crew and capsule. Hooksrst of two sets of latching has completed and we heard a call out nosecone is secure for entry. Copy. Great confirmation back and forth from michigan control to bob and doug in dragon endeavor that bob and doug confirmed on their display the nosecone has closed and is secure for entry. That nosecone close completion. A lot of tongue twisters coming with dragon still flying over the south pacific. It is on its way home. We are going to gradually see its altitude dip. Already 207 miles over the earths surface. On theat 260 when it was other side of the pacific off of the coast of australia when it fired the engines for the de orbit burn. Once it gets to about 100 kilometers or 62 miles it will begin entry interface and that is when it begins to feel the effects of the atmosphere. Dragll experience lift and that is no longer in the vacuum environment. We are essentially stepping into the second half of entry. Dragon is beginning to flush nitrox into the cabin and the suits. This is cool air flowing through the cabin and suits and will allow them in the cabin to remain comfortable during reentry while external temperatures reach 3500 degrees fahrenheit. Dragons orientation is such that the heatshield is pointing forward. Leading the capsule toward the landing site. If you have been following along, weather has been a big ticket item for us. The Recovery Team has been busy over the last week working to determine the selection of a landing site. In order to increase the options for space station departures, they identified seven splashdown locations. In order to meet the timeline requirements for crew recovery these potential locations have to be close to a port and they have to be close to medical facilities. Add all of that in mind you the ever evolving weather conditions of florida, but also the Tropical Storm that was moving through and it is easy to see how determining that landing site is quite a complex process. Since dragon is capable of splashdown on either side of the Florida Panhandle we have two identical recovery vessels ready to support. One in the gulf of mexico, which is what we are utilizing, and the other located off the east coast of florida able to service landing sites in the atlantic ocean. Today we will be splashing down in the gulf of mexico off the coast of pensacola, florida. Waiting for bob and doug. 57 plane if it has not taken off already, it will soon. It has taken off. That will provide the views of dragon during reentry. It will allow us to see the capsule as it reenters. If you were tuned in for our demo broadcast, it was basically a big ball of light coming at us. We will also have cameras on vessel, so asvery dragon gets closer and is deploying those parachutes, we will be able to have, hopefully, really clear footage of that occurring. Dragons altitude continuing to dip. 174 miles over planet earth. We are 11. 5 minutes when we expect to hit interface. Dragon will feel the effects of being in a denser atmosphere and we are tracking that blackout to come around that same time. We are under 27 minutes away from splashdown. We are under 27 minutes away from bob and doug being on mayet earth since the 30. The dragon capsule departed from the International Space station several hours ago, but according to what dan said, it is essentially halfway home just based on altitude alone. The International Space station is 250 miles above earths surface. Milesright now about 263 above the surface. The telemetry is from, and altitude standpoint, dragon is halfway home in the second half will be covered in the next 27ish minutes versus the several hours we have been covering since yesterday. Yes. We will continue to see its speed drop as it is dropping out of orbit and starting to hit the atmosphere. Heat on therate heatshield and building the plasma up. 17,000 massy below per hour and it will drop to terminal velocity of 350 Miles Per Hour as the parachutes deploy. They will pop out when sensors on the dragon spacecraft, both gps and pressure sensors, tell the spacecraft it is at the right altitude and they will automatically deploy. They come out of the top section of the spacecraft using two slowingfor the initial and stabilizing of the capsule. After that the main parachutes will pop out further deaccelerated to 119 Miles Per Hour. By the time the capsule is splashing down in the gulf of or 16 it is only going 15 Miles Per Hour. That is a pretty comfortable speed. The way the astronauts have described it previously with other types of missions also landing down at about the same rate, they said it feels like you are in a minor fender bender. You are definitely running into something. You will feel it, but they do a lot of work with the seats and restraints to make sure while it may be a fender bender, you have more than a seatbelt holding you in. They are very secure in their suits and seats. They will stay in their even after dragon touches down. Communication once they touched down. The air conditioner will continue to work while they are in the capsule and the gulf of mexico and much warmer temperatures than they have seen for the last couple of months. We will still be able to talk to them from here in hawthorne and so will the Recovery Teams. Yeah. One of the things we might afterem do, depending on the touchdown, they will still have demonstration tasks to carry out. They have a Satellite Phone inside the capsule that has its and theylite antenna are able to use that independent of dragons communication systems. The one thing we might hear them do is do a test call to the teams in hawthorne. Thatould hear the go to do over the ground audio we have been listening to. We still have a couple of demonstration steps as this is a test flight. This is the flight to prove out dragons system to bring crewmembers from Kennedy Space center to the space station and return them to earth. We have had a flawless ride downhill. Burnve completed deorbit and dragon is at about 132 miles over the pacific ocean. Soon we will see the ground track cross over central america, over the gulf, coming in just off the coast of pensacola. Dragon spacex 4 entry brief. Go ahead. Doug, we have no update because the burn went great and your vehicle is still looking good for entry. No Health Issues at this time. Ok. Dragon copy. Thank you. The Recovery Team is go and the weather is still great. Winds about 2 knots. Copy. Good weather in the atlanta area. The last piece is we expect additional ratty com. If you could get is your entry check report a little prior to entry, we would appreciate that. Wilco. Y, thank you, doug. We had a bit of a briefing between Mission Control and bob and doug up in the crew endeavor. Just confirming the burn was pads and the timing on the does not need to be updated. Timese able to update that remain live depending on how the burn goes and, at this point, they do not need to be updated. Doug, the primary mission right now, is to continue to monitor the vehicle status and telemetry and data being presented on their touchscreen displays in front of them. During the more Dynamic Events they want to be aware when parachute deploy will happen. Making sure the timeline is accurate is certainly important. Dragon is out over the Central Pacific and down to 108 miles in altitude. Dragon should be in and out at around 100 kilometers and that experiencestarts to a lift and drag. Continuing to drop in altitude and still looking for a ontime splashdown. Do have that blackout coming. The atmosphere gets thicker and will generate more heat and heat up the outside of dragon to 3500 degrees fahrenheit. It will also be forming a plasma around the spacecraft. Prep isx dragon complete. Copy. Entry prep complete. Thank you. A call from spacecraft commander doug hurley. Entry prep is complete. They are monitoring and ready to come home. Have finalep should configuration of the flight suits. We had confirmation if the visors will be up or down. They should be down at this point as part of the entry prep check. In that last briefing we heard the weather is looking good. The phrasing was, it looks like glass. That is certainly ideal for a water splashdown. The recovery timeline, you know, bob and doug should be out of the capsule within one hour of splashing down. Good to hear the weather is good. We saw blue skies and some fluffy clouds in the gulf of mexico as we got views from our recovery vessel. Glad to hear conditions are winds alsoand that looking good around 2. 5 Miles Per Hour. Really could not ask for better conditions for a splashdown day. We threaded the needle once again like we did on launch. Your upper limits for wind or 10 Miles Per Hour, so we are well below that threshold for a splashdown today. Dragon coming up on 82 miles in altitude, continuing to dip down. We expect that interface to start soon with the vehicle is going to start heating up. It will continue to use the draco thrusters as it continues through the atmosphere and we will have that blackout coming up in a few minutes. The cabin purge has started. This is when they flush the cabin of dragon with cold air and they will do a suit purge running nitrox through the suits to keep things at a comfortable temperature as the capsule goes through reentry and starts to heat up. We are anticipating a brief blackout period where we are unable to communicate with the capsule. That should start in about three minutes. That will last six minutes total and we will be unable to command the vehicle oversee telemetric. That being said, dragon is designed to be fully autonomous. It is driving itself anyway. Bob and doug will stay fastened in their seats. That anticipated loss of signal last just six minutes. Period the blackout capsule will encounter entry interface. This is when the capsule is now really in the earths atmosphere and beginning to be subject to aerodynamic forces. This is also when that friction will begin to build up and raise the external temperature. Dragon spacex, we show two minutes until blackout. We will see you on the others. Other side. Dragon, copy. There is that headsup communication from Mission Control to dragon endeavor confirming that blackout. During the blackout the capsule will be going through entry interface where it is encountering aerodynamic forces, really starting to build up the external temperature, and that temperature will reach about 3500 degrees fahrenheit. However, the interior of the cabin is environmentally cooled so bob and doug should remain comfortable during the descent. There will be cool air flowing not only through the cabin, but also through their suits. Sensors that are able to detect the temperature inside that suit and once that reachedeads that it has maximum temperature threshold it will flush the soup with cool air and really circulate suit with cool air and really circulate and cool it down. We are right around the time. Ted lack o blackout expecting to regain communication at 42 minutes after the hour. For these next ask minutes, they are less than 60 miles in altitude and this is when the capsule is really heating up during reentry, reaching temperatures around 3500 degrees fahrenheit. You are essentially hitting the atmosphere at more than 17,000 Miles Per Hour and the friction builds up the plasma around the space craft. That will prevent us getting data for six minutes. It is going to continue to maintain its appropriate trajectory and attitude having attitude determination devices on board not reliant on communication with satellite. It will continue dragon down the correct path for this splashdown off the coast of pensacola. We are in that blackout period. We are going to continue to stand by until we get them on the other side. Just about two minutes after we signaluisition of we are going to be looking for the parachutes. We should be getting views from some assets at the landing zone including the High Altitude Research Plane which is going to be rely on the telemetry to lock onto it in the sky and give us a infrared view during reentry. We will look for the deploys at 44 minutes after the hour, and they will come out when the vehicle is still moving at 350 Miles Per Hour at an altitude of 80,000 feet. They will do some initial slowing and stabilization and less than a minute later they will detach and the four main parachutes will deploy. They will look closed up initially and then do something called reefing. They open in stages to minimize the load on the parachutes. They will come out at the 500 feet with dragon already slowed with dragon already slowed down. They will splashdown then in the gulf of mexico. We should be 10 minutes away from splashdown. Right now we are getting our airplane, the wb57 getting the cameras ready to give us our first glimpse. We should have a little less then three minutes until we require signal in connection with bob and doug and the dragon spacecraft. We are in a blackout period that we were expecting. This will last a total of six minutes and we are halfway through. At the moment dragon is and,ering the atmosphere due to the plasma building up, we are unable to communicate or send commands, but dragon is fully autonomous. It is steering itself and bob and doug are flying home. Dragon spacex, com check. Are still inside that anticipated blackout. We are getting sporadic data starting to peek through which is why you heard that communications check. Dragon spacex, comm check. Heard you loud and clear. Copy. We have got you. You can expect an automated shoot deployment chute deployment. Copy. Really good news. We have come out of the blackout and have reestablished connection with dragon endeavor with nasa astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley on board. We were able to reacquire communication earlier than expected and now we are just waiting. We should be about 2. 5 minutes chute deploy. Gps has converged. Copy that. You may have heard earlier bob and doug are experiencing 3. 5 gs. That is what they pulled during the ascent phase. Just like a mild roller coaster. The vehicle is now over the gulf of mexico. It is approaching the landing zone off the coast of florida near pensacola and we have our first shot. There is. T is. The first view from the wb 57 airplane. It shows us dragon reentering. We have that comm back with bob and doug. Units its three gps uses in the parachute deployment process that helps, along with the pressure sensors, to give a solid altitude to the Flight Computers on when these are supposed to deploy. We are standing by for the deployment. We should be under five minutes away from splashdown. Kilometers. Drog window. Copy. 14 kilometers in altitude and continuing to descend. Capsuleve a shot of the as it is preparing to deploy those initial parachutes. Parachutes help slow the vehicle down even further and help stabilize in preparation for main chute deployment. Right about now the capsule is going 400 Miles Per Hour. Standing by for drog deploys. Visual. Two drog out. We have confirmation. They are now out and they are going to do slowing and stabilizing of the dragon spacecraft. They should be detaching in a few moments and then we will see four main parachutes deploy. Drog descent rate nominal. The expected rate of velocity were around 150 Miles Per Hour and already dropping. You can see them detach. We have confirmation of deployment of the main parachute. Chutesre visual on four out. We are visual. [applause] at this point the main parachutes have deployed. They are inflating and continuing to slow dragon down significantly. Splashdowncipating in under two minutes and 30 seconds. We have already slowed the vehicle down to 16 Miles Per Hour. Main chute descent rate nominal. Has saved all propulsion on board. 600 meters. We are 600 meters above the gulf of mexico. Should be approximately one minute and 30 seconds from splashdown. Mission control team and hawthorne reported the precise landing coordinates to the Recovery Team. They are standing by, ready to go get our space dads. We just passed 300 meters. One minute until splashdown. Meters. Brace for splashdown. Copy. Brace for splashdown. We heard bob and doug reporting they are bracing for splashdown. We should be able to see the gulf of mexico here in the shop momentarily shot as we are 20 meters off the ocean. Splashdown. [applause] visualou can see we have confirmation for splashdown. Copy. We see splashdown. Dragon endeavor has returned home and that is bob and doug. Nasa,behalf of spacex and welcome back to planet earth and thank you for flying spacex. [laughter] it is our honor and privilege that the crew dragon and endeavor [indiscernible] good and we are into 800. Thank you and we copy you are. 800. 4 the space dads are back on earth after a 19 hour return journey. Dragon endeavor has placed splashdown in the gulf of mexico off the coast of pensacola, florida. You can see our fast boats and they are fast. Are racing out degree endeavor. We can see the view inside the capsule. The communication was a little choppy. Stable. Ow ourselves copies for vehicle assessment. Good news. Stable one means they are upright in the water. Sidee two could be on the or upside down, but dragon has a system to keep it up right. It can pump seawater into bladders in the surface section of the capsule. We already see the fast boats approaching. They touched down right on time pacific,a. M. 18 48 universal. We already see the fast boats starting to move in. We are maintaining good communication with bob and doug and the team and hawthorne. In hawthorne. We should be getting the goahead to move in and wrangling the parachutes. We can see bob and doug inside the capsule back on planet earth. The fast boats will move in to do a couple of things. Testwill perform a sniffer to ensure the air around the vehicle does not have toxic fumes on board. Once we get the all clear from their the Water Recovery lead will give the go for approach, and that is when the first fast boat will approach the capsule, hopefully give a wave through teamindow, and one of the members will climb on top of crew dragon and begin to place the rigging equipment necessary to hoist dragon out of the water. View from theng a airplane flying overhead. It gave us those great views, our first views, of bob and doug entering the atmosphere. You can see the parachutes in the water. They were cut automatically as expected by dragon. For now, the crew just standing by. They will stay in their seats as we wait for these initial checks. Dragon spacex comm check. Landing clear. Landing clear. Just wanted to confirm reconfiguration. What just happened is they reconfigure if you can just relay the data, the fast boats and recovery as you get them, we would appreciate it. You bet. Absolutely, doug. You heard comms reconfiguration which is looping bob and dougs communication into the Recovery Teams so they can hear feedback directly. We talked a little bit , we are doingavor good so far. We will let them know you are feeling good. Thank you for the update. Really good news to hear they are feeling good and they can let the Flight Surgeons no all is good inside dragon endeavor. Have onends like we do of our folks on location with the recovery forces, brandy dean, joining us by Satellite Phone. If you can hear me, what is it like on the water . What was it like to watch them splashdown . Standby. Spacex copies. We will be ready in a couple of minutes. Please stand by. I can hear you. In the center of your screen is dragon capsule awaiting the fast boats to approach and begin the rigging process. On the lefthand side we can see that second fast boat come into view. Spacex, we are go for recovery personnel to approach. Alongside innel under a minute. Thank you. Copy. They are starting to move in. The first boat is going to go in and sniff around for traces of toxins. The second will round up the parachutes. Still flying overhead. We will try one more time. We have brandy dean with the recovery forces. If you can hear me, what was it like to watch this dragon come down under parachutes . It was amazing. I wish everybody could have had my view. It is a gorgeous day, the water is calm, the best weather we couldve asked for. We heard the sonic boom as it made its way back. Exciting for everybody down here. That is incredible. We had some questions from people if you could hear the sonic boom. I am glad to answer that for us. We talk so much about the weather, you said it was great. What was it like on the ride out there . Has it been clear skies and hallway the whole way. There are a circle of clouds along the horizon, but we were able to see the parachutes far above the clouds and follow it all the way to splashdown. We are not getting any views on the boat. What kind of activity is taking place . We can see the fast boats approaching the capsule. What is everybody doing to get everything ready . Boat is making its way toward the capsule. But we aree it, getting closer. We have been holding ready positions for quite a while now. Copy that. We are going to keep watching from here. Thank you for calling in and thank you for being out there and getting us these great views. It is really incredible. Portpe to get you back in soon and will talk to you in houston. Thank you. Camera viewen change. That is coming from go navigator, the recovery vessel. The fast boats are getting ready install the rigging equipment required to hoist dragon out of the water. The other fast boat is collecting the parachutes from the water. We want to bring those back on board with us, but shortly we should actually see one of the team members crawl up onto the side of the capsule in order to install that rigging like i mentioned. That particular team member is highly experienced and highly trained as you can imagine. And oddly shaped thing in the ocean is tricky. Done hours ofs training for this task we see the second fast approaching. Both of these needed to wait for the que in order to purchase dragon. That was just to make sure there were no toxic vapors in the air. Now that they have the all clear we see them beginning to work on and around the dragon capsule. Even though the camera is a little shaky that water looks, smooth, almost like glass, which is this is a view from the main recovery vessel which was still a few miles away from the splashdown. We have unfired ordinance 2. 5ks nominal, about minutes until capsule lift. Copy that. We say them we see them outside. Good news. Confirmation there that those testslick those vapor came out negative, which is a positive thing, so the team was able to approach and the crewmember that is installing is onking the rigging top of the capsule. The primary recovery ship is a little further away but as we heard, it is 2. 5 minutes until they will be foisted out of the water. Im sorry, 25 minutes, not 2. 5 minutes. I misheard that. They are not that fast. We also have been hearing that the secondary boat, its primary mission is securing those parachutes, theyve got the weasel attached in two theyve got bouys attached to both drogues. The drogues detaching from the spacecraft, the mains automatically the touching automatically detaching. We have talked about the hardwired buttons that bob and doug have on their seats and in their control displays and cutting the main chute is one of those buttons in the event that they were not automatically cut at the splashdown, bob and doug would have had the ability to do so. If the winds were stronger and they caught the parachute, it could create a condition where the capsule could be moved unintentionally by those parachutes. Definite he to avoid that. That is one of the few buttons that are hardwired for the crew. We are expecting about 20 minutes for the main recovery vessel to reach dragon. By that point, the rigging will be fixed and they will be able to use the hydraulic lift on the back of the vessel to pull dragon out of the water. Bob and doug did report, they see guys climbing around their ,indow, getting that rigging still doing good. We are just going to see the vessel continue to close in. Over 1. 3 nautical miles away but you can see things starting to sharpen up in our view as it does drawing closer. One thing i did not get to mention as a sequence of events was happening, everything was going so quickly, just before the drogue deployment, the seats rotated 26 degrees. If you think back to when we saw bob and doug while they were on departureduring their burns, they were laying closer to on their backs at the 40 degree position we essentially they were looking up at the top of dragon capsule, their stomachs were facing the top cone. At this point, the seat would have rotated so they are in more of an upright position. The is done to ensure that loads experience from landing does not hurt them. At this point, they are not really laying on their backs, they are seated upright a little bit, which would allow them to have a better view of the team working to install the rigging equipment. At this point, we are at about 22 minutes until dragon will be lifted onto the recovery vessel. Bob and doug are still strapped into their seats, kind of like an airplane. They say, do not unbuckle your seatbelt until the captain determines it is safe to do so. They will remain in their seats throughout the entire Recovery Process. Essentially until it is time to get them out. We are expecting to lift dragon onto the navigator recovery ship in about 21 minutes. That in 28 minutes, we will be opening that hatch and beginning crew exit. We did hear the rigging is pretty much complete, also right as they arrive, they are at the capsule, the made recovery vessel will be able to begin getting them out of the water. As the recovery vessel is getting closer to dragon, dragons position off the coast of pensacola florida, we are able to see the capsule in more detail. A bright shade of whites. [laughter] those external temperatures were reaching up to 3500 degrees fahrenheit, so the thermal protective system enabled dragon to return while keeping the internal temperature rather temperance. We are seeing a few more boats than expected. , a teams currently working few private vessels in the area making sure they get out of there. Get out of now we see one of the spacex fast boats moving and moving in. We are being advised that the Recovery Team is rado vacate the area so we are able to extract bob and doug safely. Also for the safety of those folks in the area as well, not just bob and doug. This is obviously a dynamic operation, one of the first things we do is make sure there are not poisonous fumes around the capsule, Something Like this really can endanger the whole thing, and danger the crewmembers and themselves. The spacex team is moving to try to get them away so they can safely recover the dragon capsule and get bob and doug on deck and safely inside their medical quarters. They are getting a lot closer. We expect about 10 minutes or so until they should be in position. The rigging has been fixed on the capsule and was they arrive, they will be able to use that hydraulic lift to get dragon up and out of the water. Not recovery vessel is getting closer and closer the recovery vessel is getting closer and closer to dragon to beor as it awaits hoisted out of the gulf of mexico. We landed just off the coast of florida near pensacola. Maybe next time we shouldnt announce our landing zone. [laughter] our plane,ot from looks like the area has clear out significantly, so that its good to see. Has cleared out significantly, so that is good to see. Hearing that all of the parachutes have buouys on them, also good news. Ragan spacex, reconfigure dragon spacex comm regonfig. Somay lose that for one or minutes and that should happen shortly. Copy. [indiscernible] will do. As the main vessel gets closer, its going to back up and get the hydraulic left hydraulic lift set up. Bob and doug still inside, waiting for that recovery. We should start the hoisting operations in the next 10 to 15 minutes and it will be a quick lift out of the water using that hydraulic lift with the dragon, up to the boat, the ship, then it will move it underneath the helipad to the crew Recovery Area where they will have a platform to open up the hatch, spacex nickel dr. Will be the first one through the door, able to do a quick check in with bob and doug on their status and then he and the other medical doctors, Flight Surgeons, technicians will begin to help them out of the capsule. Earlier, we did hear bob and doug reported that they were feeling good after reentry, so that was related to the Flight Surgeon and good news to hear. This is a view coming from the w b 57 plane as is circling the area and we can see dragon are waiting to be pulled out of the water. Lift tonticipating that begin in just under 15 minutes. We are approaching 14 minutes. Have annutes, we will open hatch. You can see the made recovery vessel on the top right, that is on helipad with the spacex x top, backing up towards the capital the capsule. Not to be confused with one of our landing drone ships. There is a live view of dragon floating in the water in the background along with many onlookers, from a safer distance at this point. This is a live shot coming from go navigator, albert recovery vessel. Our recovery vessel. The fast boats are helping to bring it in closer and you can see a couple of the Recovery Team members on the deck and behind them, we get our first good view of the nest. This is essentially the nest in the background, dragon will be lifted using the hydraulic lift into the net. The next will be pulled towards the camera from this view towards those individuals on that upper deck. Check. On spacex comm clear loud and clear. Loud and clear as well. It looks like the boat is one length away, five to 10 meters, backing up to you. Copy that. Thanks for the update. Good news there, we are getting ready to see dragon to be lifted out of the water and into the recovery net. That debt will be pulled towards the camera, towards the upper deck. That is where the medical structures will be waiting to assist them into the medical base for evaluation. Been put theeady five minutes since they splashed down. It does not feel like it. That was the fastest 25 minutes of the day. The time like we were anticipating was for the lifting operation to start within 30 minutes so we are right on the timeline. That has been a common thing so far today. You can see them with one of the fast boats getting into position to start moving out with the additional rigging, they are going to use this aframe to pull it out of the water. You can see the dragon met at the bottom, at circular object with the a1 right on it. Timeile this is the first we are recovering a capital with crewmembers on board, the Recovery Team we have a couple lines connected. Rigging is in progress. Copy that, thank you. The crew thatng they might feel some momentum as the rigging lines are attached. Ira firth good shot of the individual who is placing that rigging equipment, that is someone who is highly specialized and very well trained for these operations. The Recovery Team has rehearsed and practiced this with bob and doug themselves in a test capsule, practicing the egress as well as they have practiced the Recovery Process many times and through those practice runs, they have effectively cut the Recovery Period in half from the initial demo one mission. It is nice to see that the process itself has been rehearsed and carefully choreographed, its going super efficiently. Number onehe priority, so making sure that only personnel involved in active recovery operations are present on the deck. You may have heard us mention, there are about 40 people on board today but we dont want anyone in danger or to fall overboard. That guy intentionally jumped, speaking of falling overboard. We are ready, thank you. The crew was just told, in about the next 30 seconds, they have the lines affixed so they will start lifting the capsule out of the water. The communication we are getting boat itselfwith the at this point. We can see the left. Lift. Dragon is out of the water. Aframe will start swinging it back. It is down for the net at the bottom of your screen. Getting a better shot up on the point at which dragon is tethered to the hydraulic lift, ensuring it is not swinging freely. We can see dragon endeavor being carefully set down into the recovery net on top of go navigator. Dragon spacex, bill, or the recovery vessel. Recovery personnel are preparing to translate you to the light form. To the platform. Copy, thank you. For the first time in two months, astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley are on some sort of ground. We cant collect solid ground because it is a shift. However, it is the first time they are not in space, on a rocket, or bobbing in the ocean. Storedthey are going to start transiting it forward and dragon will move into the hangar section underneath that helipad it up to that Recovery Platform that we saw earlier. Point, the spacecraft technicians will open up the hatch, it is a manual process with a couple different attachments you have to engage before the hatch can be opened. They will get it opened and first readybe the get their initial health assessments, see if they are ready to move and we will start assisting them out of the capsule and into that medical facility on the boat. The Recovery Team is doing final securing of the capsule in preparation to actually move the recovery nest to the interior of the ship, it will actually be in a covered deck. We saw that camera view earlier, looking straight out from the center of the boat. , the nestn is secured will be translated forward and closer to the recovery posted closer to the position we are able to open the hatch. While dragon is on board safely, we are not able to do that just yet. They are working to detach some of those lines that were used in the aframe. They should be done with that in a moment and then they will start that translation. We can see the Recovery Team relieving those securing lines that were used during the left of the capsule from the water into the nest. They are releasing those securing lines from the sides, making sure it is secure from the bottom. There we see dragon moving forward. Look at that. That is a test luck i would say. I would say. Tesla, interesting to see those scorching march now that we get etailed shot of dragon scorching marks now that we get a detailed shot of dragon. Standing by for the hatch open. That rounded square in the center is that site hatch and on either side are those oval windows. Dragon spacex, standby for site hatch opening and egress. Copy, we are ready. We are go for hatch open. If you look closely, above the hatch, you can see the area, that is where those chutes deployed farm, the two circles , the mainside parachute now headed by the platform underneath the site hatch. Side the crew is in the process of side the site hatch hatch. The go navigator is making its way back to the Pensacola Naval air station. Bob and doug will get a ride from the recovery vessel via helicopter. We are preparing to open the side hatch and once that is done, the site certain bill popped his head and, do an initial check, see how bob and doug are doing. Delay due toslight potential and io hits near the side hatch. Copy. We are standing by. They are continuing to do those snifs, checking for papers, nitrogen dioxide primarily can get detected in the air from the burning of fuel. They will continue to inspect around the capsule, make sure it is safe for the crew, save for recovery expert before they get s hatch opened the red hatch open. Since the splashdown at 11 48. M. Pacific they are just pausing the operations for a moment, doing some Additional Air sampling. Flightave controllers here in hawthorne able to monitor propulsion tank pressures and not seeing any issues with those at the moment. Just a short pause in the operation because they are sniffing around the capsule, making sure we dont have any readings that might indicate a few will leak or anything around the vehicle. Detect some n2o, which arises from the burning of fuel, they are continuing to do Different Air meetings, samples, before they proceed with the hatch opening. Dragon spacex, we are still investigating, looks like we will set up a Service Section, we are working on eta for you. Copy. If you are just joining us, that is bob behnken and doug hurley, safely returned from the International Space station, they made an ontime splashdown in the gulf of mexico off the coast of pensacola, florida. Pacific, 80 40 8 a. M. Universal time. They have been pulled out of the water and hosted onto the recovery vessel go navigator and right now, the team is completing they did an additional check and found there might be some remnant vapors, which we dont want to be around when we have bob and doug coming out of the capsule, so the team purge the Service Section in preparation for crew egress. Hatches that the we have been talking on talking about. While the top hatches is used to connect to the International Space station, that is the one located under the nose cone is hidden there at the top of the capsule. The side hatch is what is utilized for ingress and egress on the launchpad as well as coming up on the recovery vessel. Docked toapsule is the International Space station, they will use the forward hatch to exit and enter the capsule. Note, was that side hatch is opened, it will be the first time bob and doug have gotten a breath of fresh air, the first time they will be able to do so in two months since they boarded the falcon 9 at the start of the mission back on may 30. With an ontime splashdown, they returned with almost exactly 64 days in space on this mission, a few minutes shy of that. I know they are looking forward to it. A stable condition now that they are on the boat, not in the water, whatever team is consuming just continuing to step through, they are reporting all the paper levels that they detected at the dropping. Dragon spacex, we showed levels are declining but continuing with purge. Copy. In addition, we are not seeing any leak indications or anything like that, these are small levels but we still need to do the purge. Ok, copy. We were wondering if he saw any leaks, but it sounds like it is part of the deal. Yet, that is a good read back. We are continuing to get a view down right at the hatch of the capsule, they are detecting those small traces of a couple no2, not dioxide. , not anyat low levels harmful level as we have people enclose passivity to the capsule. They are not seeing any , that isns of a leak where those different fuel tanks with the hypergolic are located inside the capsule. About 44 minutes post splashdown. Still ahead of the timeline, as we are we were not expecting to get the hatch open before 60 minutes. Another update, the Service Section purge should begin in under five minutes. Exposureowing ndo limits and we are hoping once we start the purge, it will drop down. Ok, thanks. I will have to correct myself. , that is one of the hypergolic fuels used inside those dracoowering thrusters. The spacex engineers detecting from the nto hypergolic fuels used inside the dragon spacecraft, levels higher than they would like, so they are doing a purge to help dissipate any vapors in and around the Service Section where those fuel tanks reside in the capsule. We are still expecting the crew out inside of an hour, so still on the timeline or a few minutes ahead and we should be seeing bob and doug once we see those levels continue to drop around the capsule, they will step through the hatch opening process once again. We are getting ready to purge the Service Section. The is to make sure lingering nto fumes that the team is detecting get flushed out, essentially. The Service Section is not the interior cabin where bob and doug are, it is actually the part of the capsule that is outside of the place where bob and doug are that is external to the cabin but inside the capsule itself. You can think of it as the space between the exterior of the dragon capsule and the interior space where bob and doug are. , essentially. Ssel bob and doug are fine the air they are breathing. That makes they have been getting throughout the duration of todays operation. It will be essentially the area completely cabin, sealed off from the Service Section. That Service Section is where the tankse there are and we are making sure that those get aerated so lingering fumes are swept away. They detected higher levels of one ofwant to see dragon, ls used in in dragon. Together,fuels, went without an emission source, will react, that is what makes them hyperbolic fuels, a more elegant solution youth and a lot of used in a lot of orbits in spacecraft. We are standing by. As you can see, there is one crewmember that has what looks like dont have a huge update, just letting you know the purge is still in the works. We will try to get you out of there shortly. Copy. Two individuals on your screen, one with a face mask and what looks like a scuba tank with some clean air. There might be another crewmember with the same personal protective equipment that will come on deck here. That type of equipment there we go. That is the kind of equipment required in order to perform this purge. Toxic, we the fume, want to keep all crewmembers safe as we prepare the side hatch for opening in order to let limits areke dropping and getting pretty good. We are continuing with the purge just to be sure. Ok. Sounds good, thank you. We just heard the limits are nto. Nuing to drop on that they are going to continue to monitor those, they are doing a purge, flushing the air around the Service Section where the tanks for those fuels are in dragon. They are not inside the pressure , they aree interior essentially outside the pressure vessel but inside the outer cell of the Dragon Spacex Dragon spacecraft. And we are just about 52 minutes post splashdown. We are waiting for them to get good ratings on the levels of vapors still in existence around the capsule and then they will be able to step back in to the hatch opening. We did hear they have not seen any indication of leaks. We are going to purge for one more minute. Copy. Should be one more minutes. Levels have dropped sufficiently, we will be able to step back in to the hatch opening process. Bob and doug will be getting assistance from Recovery Teams while exiting dragon endeavor. This is the same process for any returning longduration crewmembers, returning to a gravityrich environment can be jarring. The tubular system is maintaining for his response before maintaining balance and motion. Number oneur priority with this operation so you will see bob and doug helped out of the capsule and assisted a few feet over to the medical quarters aboard the boat. If you ever watched longduration cruise return, it is a similar process where they are carried out of the capsule and placed into a waiting chair where they get medical checks in the field before they are carried to inflated medical tents. We dont have a tent, we have quarters and they are closer, so they will have a couple feet to go from the capsule into those medical quarters and once they are in there, they will get initial checkouts from their Flight Surgeons who are on location on the boat, these are the people that have been responsible for their health and wellbeing throughout their mission, both before hand, their preflight data, offering them support in the lead up to launch, and the entire time while on board the International Space station, and they are here with the Recovery Teams, ready to welcome them home. It has been about a minute since we heard that last call to the crew. Be just about done with the purge. We will stand by and hopefully resume these hatch opening operations in a moment. Dragon spacex, update. Seeing nto into six parts per billion of mmh. You take aking sample inside the cabin. [indiscernible] detectors 2 and 3 in location 14. Copy. Thanks. We just got the call out of the current readings of the nto and mmh. Precaution,safety the medical authority from spacex on the boat asking the crew to take out some air detectors that they have inside with them to do some quick sampling inside the cabin itself. To say itntinue throughout, safety is the top priority with this operation, so the teams are going to be methodical and make sure that everything is in a good set up, a safe environment, not only for the crew, but for our recovery sources. For now, bob and doug still inside the crew dragon. Landing. Minutes post Spacex Dragon, update. Go ahead. Detected 2 is 0. 0. 0. 04tor three also leads mmh. 0. 0 for great, thank you very much. [indiscernible] reporting zeros across the board, no traces of. Ither the nto or mmh dragon spacex, status update. Currently, after exposure limits are below limits but the purge is doing a good job. We saw nto go down. With a lot of caution, we can let the purge run dry little longer but we want to see how you are doing, if you are ok with continuing with the purge. We are fine hanging out. No problem here. Thanks for that, we will keep working the purge to get us down. Thanks for that. No reason to rush. We concur. Doug hurley reporting the crew is still doing well in dragon, so they are good to continue to hang out. The medical authority recommending as long as the crew is ok and doing well inside, they will continue with the purge, trying to get those trace readings of any vapors all the way down to zero. We are focused on not only keeping the astronauts safe but all of the recovery engineers, medical professionals on the scene as well. ,hey will continue this purge distilling the area around the Service Section of the dragon spacecraft. This is a series of fuel tanks outside of the pressure vessel, where bob and doug are inside the spacecraft, they did quick readings inside the cabin and had zeros across the board, but they are continuing to let these levels dissipate, bring it down to zero, then we will resume hatch operations. We are an hour and two minutes post splashdown. Dougod to hear bob and report that they are good hanging out. They are feeling all right and pretty comfortable staying inside for a couple more minutes. They were doing their best prior to leaving. They ared to hear doing well inside the dragon capsule. Dragon spacex, we are still seeing good indications from the purge, we are looking to go another five minutes and looking for zero indications. If you would like us to speed things up, let us know. Just keep doing what you are doing, we can wait for five. Thanks, doug. So we will settle in at least another five minutes while they continue to disburse any trace remnants of those fuels around the Service Section of dragon before we step into the hatch openings. We are going to stay with you, stay with us until bob and doug or out of the capsule and into their our out of the capsule and into their medical quarters. Still and doug are strapped into their seats, the seeds have actuated seats have actuated away from the orientation in which you see the capsule now. Departure earlier this morning and yesterday, the orientation of the seats were such that essentially bob and doug would have been lying on their backs in the orientation where we see dragon now. Currently, the seats have actuated upward slightly so they are not completely upright, they are reclined a little bit, nice and comfy, but they are able to see in and out of those windows that we see on either side of the side hatch. Finish they are able to once they process, are in the medical area, they will start bringing and the doug will as bob and be flown back to pensacola via helicopter, getting them to the shore in a matter of minutes, where a nasa plane will be standing by to load them up and bring them home to the Johnson Space center in houston. Dragon spacex, things are still trending well, we are expecting a reading in two minutes. Looking to hopefully egress you guys shortly after that. Ok, sounds good, thank you. In light of one of the social Media Questions that we were asked earlier, someone asked if the bob and doug have netflix available in the capsule. They have actually been pretty busy throughout this mission, monitoring data and checking for timing. I would say now is about the time they would certainly want something to watch because at this point, their only job left to do is get out of the capsule. It has to be a feeling of just success for those two. Taking the first flight in a new spacecraft, aztec pilots, this was something that was kind of their breadandbutter as test pilots, this was something that was kind of their breadandbutter. Flighta pretty flawless for dragon. We will have all of the postflight review coming up in the next several weeks as we continue to assess all the data that we received throughout the mission and any data still recorded locally on dragon itself, that will be the next several weeks, assessing the mission and working through the certification process. We are already targeting the first operational flight packed for no earlier than late for noer pegged earlier than late september. Spacex, we are planning to stop the purge in 19 57. Ute and copy, thank you. With them stopping the purge in about a minute, that means the levels have gone down to what they were looking for and we will begin to step back into the hatch opening process and be able to get bob and doug moving out of the dragon capsule. 19y have been and there for hours at this point since they departed the space station saturday. Period, eighte hours of rest on the way home, they have been up since this morning, about 4 40 a. M. Pacific, a little more than eight hours ago. Dragon, the purge is complete. One more check and then we should proceed with hatch opening. Ok, good news, thanks. That is good news, confirmation that the purge is complete and they are going to do one more test to make sure that all of the fumes of concern are away in that it is safe to open that side hatch and retrieve bob and doug. Once that side hatch is open, our Flight Surgeon will be the first to say hello, get a quick medical checkup, though based on crew hasts that the been giving us, it sounds like they are doing great, they are feeling good, and they are comfortable inside of crew dragon. 0. 4ragon spacex, we show parts per million on 18 oh, 80 parts per billion of mhs of mmh, we are proceeding with hatch opening. There is the green light we have been waiting for. The green light we have been waiting for for months at this point. This is our first opportunity to say hello to bob and doug, our favorite space dads, as they are about to exit from dragon crew endeavor. This is the culmination of what has been about a 19 hour journey home, starting yesterday. As they departed International Space station. This hatch will be manually opened it was doing so, the Flight Surgeon will say hello and make sure they are doing all themhen, proceed to assist with exiting the capsule. And we see the hatch is now opened. Hatch being opened at 12 59 p. M. Pacific. Hatch is open. So right now, theyre going to put a piece of equipment that smooths out the edges and make sure it is a comfortable exit from the dragon capsule. Just a little piece of structure to ensure the hatch will remain open and any sharp edges around the side hatch are protected. The blue suit, that is one of nasas Flight Surgeons, dr. Steven hart. At 12 59h open coming p. M. Pacific. That is 19 59 universal time, gmt. So once again, the spacex Recovery Team is assisting astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley to exit the spacecraft. Open two the hatch minutes ago. For a little while as they were detecting some trace amounts of some of the fuels. We executed a series of purges. Once those were down in acceptable limits, we were able to then start with the egress. We see a stretcher on deck. This is normal. This is part of the standard recovery procedure. It is simply to ensure bob and doug remain safe. Readjusting to gravity can be a little challenging. Dizziness can often occur. This stretcher will just be used as standard procedure to make sure the astronauts make it to the medical tent as easily and as comfortably as possible. As we discussed, the reintroduction to gravity from microgravity can be a bit jarring, especially on our vestibular system. They are on a ship. We just want to make sure we are taking every possible precaution to ensure their arrival is safe and free from any injury now they are home. They are working to get a few of the items from the seats out of the way before they begin extracting our crewmembers. They will be coming out one at a time. As we saw during the ascent portion of the mission, there is enough room inside the capsule for them to do a back flip in microgravity. However, considering there are a couple folks from the Recovery Team got you loud and clear. Quick check between dragon and mission. Just wanted to thank the guys for bringing us home safe before i disembark. I am sure doug will have some good words for you as well. Thank you for doing the most difficult part in the most important parts of the spaceflight. Getting us into orbit and bring us home safely. Thank you again from the good ship endeavor. Thank you for those awesome words. It has been an honor and pleasure to work with you. It has been awesome. Words from nasa astronaut bob behnken. He is in the pilot seat. You heard him refer to himself as plo t. We are Still Standing by for crewmembers to begin making their way out of the crew dragon spacecraft. They are going to get some assistance to the medical quarters on board the ship where they are going to be able to get out of their suits they have been wearing for the final dynamic phases of the separation events, reentry, splashing down. Just a little over an hour ago at 11 48 p. M. Or a. M. Pacific time. Again, the Recovery Team Spacex Dragon from the command. Viewre, we have our first of doug hurley. I would like to reiterate what bob said. My thanks to everybody over the last several years who has worked in hawthorne, mcgregor or at Kennedy Space center. Anybody who has touched endeavor, you should take a moment to cherish this day, given all the things that have happened this year. We certainly cannot thank you enough. Just proud to be part of this a company ofto get people to and from the space station. Soonll talk to you hopefully in person. Thanks so much. You are welcome. Thank you so much for those kind words. We all wish you a safe journey home and happy reunion with your family soon. We look forward to seeing you in person as well. Really nice words from bob behnken on your screen. We saw nasa astronaut doug hurley exiting from the capsule. My have been hard to see on your screen. We got a thumbs up, indicating things are going well. Excuse me. I mixed up my positions. Those words were from doug. We had bob who just came out first. Bob behnken out of the capsule now. He is making his way to the medical area. Now, they are going to work to get doug hurley out next. I think i saw a smile on bobs face. Thumbs up all the way. Us regulareen giving status updates from inside the capsule. They have been feeling really good. We are standing by for our spacecraft commander doug hurley to make his way out into the fresh air for the first time in 64 days. All right. They are getting set up. We should see spacecraft commander doug hurley making his way out of the capsule. Looks like we have got him out. We have got him seated. There we go. Another thumbs up. [applause] we have got some applause here. As you can see in Mission Control, a standing ovation for a job done all around. Our crewmembers are safely back home on earth. They are going to get checked out by the nasa medical team. They are going straight into the medical quarters on board the ship. That will be their first stop on planet earth. Then they will be making their way into a helicopter and heading back to dry land. The team is going to prepare dragon itself. They are going to begin taking it back to shore. It has been an incredible mission. This all kicked off two months ago on may 30 from launch pad 39 a at the Kennedy Space center in florida. We had a successful liftoff. It was suspenseful. Clearing up the last possible moment. They had a flawless ride to orbit. A 19 hour journey to the International Space station where they spent 62 days on board. 63 crewmembers doing science experiments, spacewalks on board the orbiting laboratory. The journey home began yesterday when they closed the docked atragon and 4 35 p. M. Pacific. After a phasing burn to lineup their orbit, bob and doug rested before waking up for reentry this morning. We successfully performed the final on order onboard maneuver to send dragon on the path home. The spacecraft successfully reentered the atmosphere and slowed the dissent with successful deployments of two parachutes with the final splashdown occurring off the coast of pensacola, florida at 11 40 a. M. Pacific right on time. Following that splashdown, we saw spacex recovery expert prepare dragon endeavor for the lift onto the recovery vessel. A little less then an hour following splashdown, we sell bob behnken and doug hurley make their way out of dragon and into the medical facilities safe and sound. We just got where the helicopter should be landing soon that will. Be there next. Step in there should be landing soon. That will be the next step in the journey. They will transfer to a waiting nasa plane for a short flight back over to houston. They will be reunited with their families. That is going to bring an end to this historic flight. It has really been an honor and privilege to share the journey with all of you as we open up this new era in human spaceflight. Just as we close the book on this mission, we are already counting down days for the next crew dragon flight. Spacex and nasa will begin the process of reviewing data from this Successful Mission to prepare us for crew one, just targeted to launch no earlier than late september. I will be the first operational flight, flying a full crew of four astronauts including our first from japan, one of the International Partners on the space station. The mission will last approximately six months. It has been an incredible honor and joy to share this mission with the public and the teams from mesa from nasa and spacex have worked so hard to get here. Continue to follow spacex and nasa online and on our social media updates for the next steps on the commercial crew program. We are going to continue to share the progress of their trip back to houston. We have a briefing coming up real soon. It will include the nasa administrator and officials from nasa and spacex. That is coming up at 1 30 p. M. Pacific and 4 30 p. M. Eastern. Will say thanks one more time for tuning in and sharing on bob and doug. We will see you next time when we will be sending astronauts on american rockets in american spacecraft from american soil. So long. Coverage is taking a break from its live event coverage at this time. A nasa briefing is expected in the next hour or two. We will bring you that live when it begins. Until then, we will show you video from earlier as the spacex crew dragon returned to earth. The vehicle is now over the gulf of mexico. It is approaching the landing zone. Off the coast of florida near pensacola and there we have our first shot there it is. The first view from the wb57 it is dipping in and out a little bit. Will be an infrared camera video showing the dragon reentering. We have
