Dragon visible in this view from one of the japanese cameras. [no audio] again, we are inside the undocking sequence now, good umbilical retraction and we are driving the first set of hooks. First set of hooks open and nominal. Nominal hooks on the first set. The first six hooks have completed their driving first set down, the second set is now driving and we are committed to undock. [no audio] seeing good motion on the second set of hooks, continuing to drive. This is the final set of hooks, there are six of them holding dragon into place now. Afterwards, we will conduct two undocking burns to physically separate dragon. [no audio] dragon spacex, all hooks open and nominal. All hooks open. Dragon departing. Dragon spacex separation confirmed. Physical separation, 4 35 pacific. Thrusters looking good, coming down to a nominal departure burn zero coming up shortly. [no audio] dragon spacex depart zero complete. Complete. You heard depart burn zero complete, dragon moving slightly faster away from the iss, using dracos. Bob and doug have concluded their stay from the iss and they are back to earth. Confirmed physical separation as the station and dragon are flying 2067 statue miles over johannesburg, south africa. Next departure burn coming up in about five minutes. We will monitor crew dragon throughout the departure sequence, but with the dragon flying free that will do it for us from Mission Control houston. Godspeed, bob and doug. To take you to the rest of the sequence, we send it back to hawthorne. Departure burn zero sets bob and doug on the journey home. Dragon ship endeavor is on a trajectory to head up and over the station before additional maneuvers take it below and in front of the station. Dragon will autonomously accomplish that through three additional departure burns with the next one coming up in a couple of minutes to get bob and doug well away from the space station and on their way home. A beautiful view of the relative Navigation Center, providing an infrared you of the iss as bob and doug drift away from it. As they drift away, going into the higher orbit, just balancing the force of gravity along with their acceleration, they will move a little slower than the space station. Expect the space station to move ahead as they conduct additional burns getting out of the ellipsoid and keep out sphere. They will come out below the space station with apogee about 10 kilometers below the space station. Next up in a couple of minutes, scheduled for 4 30 p. M. Pacific time and 11 30 p. M. Gmt, 22nd to further increase the opening rate between crew dragon and the International Space station. That view, what we previously had, you can see it on the righthand screen of bobs display, a relative Navigation Center providing an infrared view from the forward hatch of dragon looking back toward the forward module of the International Space station. Thats where dragon has been the last 63 days. In less than a minute is departure burn number one. That is about five minutes from separation. This will increase the opening rate. Between the space station and dragon. Separation occurred on time today, as with Everything Else, occurring on schedule, sending bob and doug back toward earth and home. Very exciting moment. We should hear a call at for departure burn number one. Departure burn number one is short, only about 21 seconds. It will get us on our way up out of the way through the keep out sphere and through the approach ellipsoid. The keep out sphere about 200 meters fear around the iss, and the approach ellipsoid, four by four by two kilometers. Imagine two central parks in new york city, thats about how big that is. We are seconds away from the burn one. These are autonomous. They are programmed into dragon and we will look for that in a few seconds from now. That is the view from the space station, the two lights, the green light is the view on the righthand side of the dragon vehicle, the side that bob was sitting on. Made quick work getting away from the station. Let me see if i can get the actual distance to the station right now. Departure burn one has begun, a 20 second burn. Dragon spacex departure burn one complete. Reminder, the ground will be deactivating the big loop following exit from the approach ellipsoid, approximately 1214 minutes from now. Ok. Endeavor on the big loop. Go ahead endeavor. We cant thank you enough, it has been an honor and a privilege to be part of 63 with you. It has been a great two months and we appreciate all you have done as a crew to help us crew that dragon on its maiden flight. I would also like to thank Mission Control in houston for the incredible amount of work they have done to make this successful for dragon, and also the teams at spacex who keep us going on a mission. I would also like to wish you Great Success on the rest of your expedition and a safe flight home in the fall. Take care, friend. Endeavor, thank you and stay safe. Thank you everyone, thank you and thank you spacex. Endeavor station, bob and doug, wholeheartedly agree with those sentiments and it has been a real pleasure and an honor to serve with you. Safe travels and have a successful landing. Endeavor is a great ship. Godspeed. Endeavor copies. Thank you. We just heard some kind words exchanged between crew dragon and endeavor with bob and doug now on the way home. Iss and dragon on the big loop, dragon has exited the keep out sphere. Endeavor copies. Bob and doug leaving behind three people aboard the iss that will return in october, Chris Cassidy, anatoly and yvonne from russia. They exited the keep out sphere, that is an imaginary sphere around the space station, a safety zone set up to govern any spacecraft arriving or departing. Spacecraft have to be configured so they would not cross the boundary for at least four orbits, even if the spacecraft were to for some reason lose all maneuvering capabilities. That capability, what we are looking to here is the spacecraft is im having a hard time saying this it is on a 24 hour safe free drift trajectory. If we were to completely lose Commanding Authority over the spacecraft, we want to make sure we would not potentially interact with the iss in an uncontrolled way. The burns help us get away from the space station in a way that we could if something were to go catastrophically wrong on the spacecraft the dragon spacecraft has been rocksolid this whole mission and has a lot of redundancy. That scenario is unlikely but it is a good safety standard. Departure burn zero and one are bringing dragon up and over the iss, not just making a straight journey home. That will be determined later once the burn is complete and the deorbit burn commits us to leaving space and bringing bob and doug asked to earth. Com check with cabin mic. I hear you loud and clear. Loud and clear. As we heard, they are testing the cabin mic, so they may be taking off their suits, which is allowed now that the first two departure burns have been completed, the next is scheduled for 5 27 p. M. Pacific time, that will be departure burn two. It is really the middle of the night for the space station crew right now, everybody getting ready to go to sleep soon, but our astronauts will be awake a while. They got a chance to take a nap to be awake and alert for these operations. As you mentioned, the crew are in the middle of getting out of their suits. That was a dynamic period of time around the station, a time where there could have been to pressurization or if there was a problem, we wanted them suited. Now with the dragon on a confirmed trajectory away from the space station on its way out of the approach ellipsoid, they can get into something more comfortable. The test step of verifying the cabin microphone, the spacesuits have microphones in them near the jaw in the base of the helmet. With bob and doug removing the spacesuits, they are testing the cabin mic to make sure they have Good Communications with operations here in hawthorne. We should expect a few more calls here as dragon moves away from the approach ellipsoid. We heard some calls from capcom as well about the big loop as well and transitioning dragon to the ground. The big loop is a com network that controls Flight Controllers in Mission Control in houston and the iss crew, visiting vehicles, and of course, our Mission Control in hawthorne, altogether on one loop so we can communicate with one another if anything needs immediate attention. As we step out of the integrated operations or joint operations with the International Space station, we will transition into Mission Control here in hawthorne having Mission Authority and transition all of those calls to the dragon to ground loop. Life on the space station is kind of back to normal now that dragon has departed. They are still monitoring the departure. The crew on board crew dragon specifically. I imagine the astronauts on board the space station might be getting a final view of dragon before it returns to earth. Maybe in the cuppola window to have on the space station. As we mentioned, dragon is outside the keep out sphere and a little more than 500 meters away from the iss. We will be looking for it to exit the approach ellipsoid in about six minutes. Right now, dragon moving away just under one meter per second, close to three feet per second, away from the space station, as it starts to get further and further away. The speed will pick up a little bit until we get into an orbit where eventually we have our highest point of orbit be about 10 kilometers below the space station. Coming up after the approach ellipsoid exit, we will have three more burns schedule today, two more departure burns as well as a departure phasing burn. That should button up the activities. These are the activities for today and bob and doug should hopefully be able to get some rest before an exciting day tomorrow. I imagine they are very exciting. Tomorrow, they wake up and several more milestones to look forward to, including the deorbit burn, the commitment to bringing them home. If there were a change in the weather over the next several hours, we would still see bob and doug in earths orbit and they have enough crew supplies on board they could stay there a couple of days. That way we would have an opportunity for the weather to clear or to find another splashdown site. Everything is looking good for us to come home to pensacola tomorrow. Right now on your screen, views of Mission Control. On the righthand side, that is Mission Control in houston, on the lefthand side is Mission Control in hawthorne. Currently still in joint operations. As we transition out of the approach ellipsoid, we will Transition Mission authority to the Mission Director in hawthorne. We have had integrated operations and been attached to the space station, any command and operations we wanted to do on the dragon spacecraft, we are getting permission from the flight director in houston to connect those commands. The Flight Control team in houston is really responsible for the health and safety of the crew aboard the iss as well as the safety and performance of the International Space station. It is wild to think about, sometimes i think about the iss as a destination but it is really a spaceship. Earlier, about two weeks ago, it had yaewwed completely around and was flying backwards, so to speak. It is the spacecraft just like dragon, but bigger. It is an orbiting laboratory. We talked about some of the science bob and doug conducted. While they were there, they completed 114 hours approximately of Scientific Research aboard the International Space station. It is amazing how much of that benefits life on earth. The space station is in microgravity, which gives us an opportunity to test things and look closely at phenomenon cannot do on earth. The iss has provided countless medical advances and technological advances over the past 20 years. This is the 20th anniversary of the International Space station this year, so it is a big milestone. We will be celebrating that they are in november, and that means there have been People Living in space continuously for 20 years. Quite a feat. I love that it is international and this is such a good example of how when we work together, we accomplish something that at one time no one could have dreamed of. Reading some of the books by former crewmembers, they like to talk about the food aboard the space station, the International Cultural events they do between the crews, and they consider themselves a big family. Those kind words we heard between bob, doug and the station crew shows how close they became over a short time. Just a couple of months. I am sure they all knew each other well from training in houston. Something about being there with a common goal and those are your family while you are there. Astronauts get the opportunity to speak with family pretty regularly because we dont want them to get too homesick. They get a pretty good view in exchange. But yes, we are coming up shortly looks like a minute until we exit the approach ellipsoid, and end joint operations between Mission Control houston and Mission Control hawthorne, just behind us. The approach ellipsoid, an imaginary elipse around the space station. Its really a marker as craft closes in on the iss. They need to coordinate through Johnson Space center in houston. On your screen, short of the Mission Control centers, and also what we call flight rules. Both Mission Controls will establish procedures, sometimes down to specific failures, if a specific engine fails or if an attitude was lost or even the state of a lifesupport system on the vehicle. They come up with go nogo procedures that are analyzed. When it comes time to perform the operation, they check those lists against the health of the vehicle and they make those calls before performing operation and close proximity with one another. The next call we expect to hear up to the crew is that they will have exited the approach ellipsoid. Everything occurring on time for dragon. And the International Space station currently flying over the indian ocean, 269 statute miles. About to come up on the Southern Coast of australia. Really the next major event for dragon will be around 5 27 pacific time, tomorrow morning at 12 27 utc, the next departure burn. A little bit of time before any significant milestones. And we are outside of the approach ellipsoid. [no audio] now that we are outside of the approach ellipsoid, as you said, everything happening like clockwork today for departure. Dragon spacex on the big loop, dragon has exited the approach ellipsoid and is on a safe free drift trajectory. Houston will take on the big loop shortly and expects audio traffic to cease. Dragon copies on the big loop. [no audio] with that exit of the approach ellipsoid or ae, that imaginary ellipsoid, in the same family as a keep out sphere, they are now 24 hours safe in a free drift trajectory so that if the spacecraft lost maneuver and capabilities, it would not cross into the ellipsoid. We heard the call from the ground up to the crew aboard crew dragon endeavor. The crew acknowledging the call. They typically do some com checks when they transition out of the big loop. We heard those earlier while they were doing suit doffing, where they remove their suits and transition into something more comfortable, probably a polo and some pants. And really they will just be an monitoring mode until the next major event, which is the part burn number two, scheduled for about 30 minutes from now. That departure burn two will increase the rate away from the space station and start reducing the apogee and perigee of endeavors current orbit. Following that, and additional departure burn and a phasing burn. That is coming up later on in todays broadcast. The phasing burn is a much larger burn and these two departure burns come on the order of six minutes. Departure burn two will be the longest weve seen today, 43 seconds that will send dragon down, lower its perigee to below the station. It will move down. On your screen is sort of where we are conducting this burn. Burn number two, at the apogee, performing an orbital burn or importing velocity to the spacecraft at the highest part of the orbit, that is the most efficient way to move to the opposite end of the orbit. Because we want to bring our lowest point of our orbit down further, we are trying to connect that at the apogee and get the most for the buck and the most mileage out of our propellant. The part burn three will be a 41 second burn. Kind of like a coolympics burn and it will keep dragon always below the iss. Later tonight, we will look for a phasing burn, the longest one we have seen so far at over six minutes. It will put crew dragon on the proper orbital path to line up with the splashdown zone. Eventually we will have our deorbit burn in tomorrow and we will see the nosecone close and they will come on home, looking for splashdown tomorrow in the gulf of mexico near pensacola, florida. The departure burn expected around 10 48 pacific time. That will be around 5 00 in the morning gmt. That is the last major burn planned for tonight. Bob and doug will get eight hours of sleep and wake up to get them started on preparation steps for final burn of the mission, which will be the orbit burn. Hopefully a successful reentry. I dont know if you heard, when they arrived on the International Space station, Chris Cassidy asked bob behnken and doug hurley if the ride was smooth and they got any sleep. They said yes. Hopefully they get the same opportunity tonight for the splashdown tomorrow. Tomorrow they will arrive back in houston. They will fly back to ellingto
