Lets kick it off with kathy. What an amazing last couple of days. I cant tell you how wonderful it was to see the crew come to the hatch. We have been talking about all of the firsts. His mission was a dream for us to one day be able to have crew Transportation Services to the International Space station, and today that dream came a reality. A huge step for us. Folks, a huge team of not only spacex folks but nasa folks and our federal agency dod come a ton of people made this happen today. It was not easy. If you think about all the things this team had to go through, they would have said this is too much, but it wasnt. This team has done a phenomenal job. Do crew on orbit is going to phenomenal things over the next six months and we are going to keep doing Crew Missions and it is the start of a new era. Am very proud of the nasa, and for stepping out and doing this. Thank you. Will go next to mark. You forwant to thank your leadership in making this happen. It is a terrific day for nasa and for the country in general. It is exciting to see the seven crew members on iss, for americans, to russians, and our japanese partners. It is great to be starting this crew rotation plan and now being able to utilize iss as we envisioned. I am honored to where the pin today. It is a great start to this mission. You sell them as they came through the hatch and they are excited to do their mission. They are very well trained and ready to get started. Withlieve that nasa unites partners to achieve bold missions. In this case, it could be commercial partners or international partners. Next year we will have a lot of exciting missions, including missions, sending out past the moon. Eventually private Astronaut Missions and smaller commercial payload where we enable Small Companies to deliver payloads to the lunar surface. Each of these are examples of how nasa can engage differently with companies. Sometimes we drive the design with contractors and sometimes we evaluate. Ways where were are melding our skills, achieving nasas missions and creating capabilities in this country. That is a big part of our job. We are taking those skills and pushing out the lunar regions and supporting lunar landings as well. A great ending to the year. Great to see the crew on iss. We look forward to all the work they will achieve. Thank you, mark. Lets go to joel want to bono. Joe. We this just puts a smile on my face. Perfecty we saw the docking. And we welcome the vehicle and her crew to the International Space asian. Station. Space i look forward to increasing the amount of science, research, technology, element we can do with the additional crew members. A huge thanks for the commercial group program. Congratulations to the spacex team. I promised the program will take good of the dragon vehicle and her crew. Randy brandy and finally will go to vince. Crew saidilience after hatch opening they cant wait to get started. We have had teams at nasa and spacex and other agencies through in many ways blood, sweat, and tears over the years. We are so proud of the teams. Arrival marks the resilience. It is on the government, commercial Crew Rotation Mission to the iss and looking back at another first that happen almost exactly 10 years ago with the same team members involved, and as an spacex shared a similar accomplishment with a launch to the lower orbit with the Number One Mission in december 2010. That flight demonstrated the capabilities of falcon and dragon and the partnership and since then have had 20 successful flights to the iss, which is now led to the Crew Missions and the crew on arrival just today. As joel mentioned, we are proud 20yearrt of the isss anniversary we are proud to follow in the footsteps of all the other 63 expeditions that came before this one. We are glad to join for expedition 64. A huge shout out to nasa and spacex teams. Many hard years of work. We look forward to make this a very successful first Operational Mission and many more to follow. Thank you. Brandy we have a few reporters on the line. If you have a question you can press star one. If you could direct your question to you would like to answer it. Lets start with reuters. Congrats this question could be for anybody wants to answer. I was wondering if there was any bidding or quarrels over who gets to sleep in crew dragon and what value is having someone nasa in crew dragon for and spacex. Are you getting any data out of that . What tests are you going to preform . Have themn is to sleep in the dragon. It has been checked out operationally, ventilation, it will be an excellent opportunity to use that and test it out as a habitable module. That is the current plan and we look forward to learning a lot. It will be very comfortable, modern accommodations for them. lets go to business insider. Thanks for doing this, and congrats, everybody. This question is for kathy. Youve got along mission had. Ahead. Mission what are you doing to prepare . Of itemse has a list he wants the crewmembers to start working on. He has been starved of crew and has a backlog of work and the science. Board,u have people on you always are maintaining vigilance and making sure, just like we do with stations, it just means we have more people in orbit that we always are thinking of and making sure we are taking care of them. It is what makes human spaceflight so fun and challenging is that we always have to realize that your maintaining human safety in a tough environment. Program, great station like joel said very they will take care of the crewmembers and they make my ability to sleep a little better at night. Im counting on you, joel. Brandy the next question is from national news. For kathy. Ion is as you described, it was tough to get to this point. What do you feel is the biggest risks when docking to the International Space station . Kathy the spacecraft makes it look easy. Work between of the spacex and nasa teams to share their learning and to go interchange, of technical interchange, and a ton of testing to make it look like that. It was a testament today that we could all sit there and kind of be talking while it was going on and not biting our nails. It is that the dragon is a beautiful vehicle and she did a nice job today. Randy next up brandy next up is space. Com. Thank you for doing this. This is probably for joel. Could you talk about what it means to have the extra crew member. What does it mean for the Research Potential of the next six months coming up and maybe beyond as we see this happen more often . Joel one of the things is we of able to double the amount science and research and Technology Development we do on spacethe international station. With three crewmembers we were averaging 35 hours a week of science with the fourth member, that persons time is dedicated to science and utilization and research, so 70 hours. We will be able to do 70 hours with the four crewmembers. That sets the standard for us in the next years as we continue to develop the International Space station and continue to use it and allow us to do not only the science and research but Technology Research that will help us with the artemis program. Have a followup from business insider. I guess this question is also for kathy or for anybody else who can answer it. Up thewanted to follow thermal control issues. Where those issues fully resolved and if you can talk about what happened there. As a reason any reason this happened in orbit and not on ground. Is it anything you are tracking that needs further investigation . Why dont you take this one, because you have been in the Launch Complex area and Mission Control area following along diligently. These are your teams issues. The vehicle is remarkably clean. After clearing a couple of alarms a little bit after lunch yesterday, the vehicle arrived at the station today with full functionality and no issues whatsoever. Early on there was a discussion about the prop line heaters. They did trip off. Fault detection limits that were set very tightly on the ground. Spacex was very quick to identify the cause of it. It was barely out of spec at a limit that tripped it off for safety reasons. They identified it say with in an hour and had a fix proposed wasin two hours and it ready to be checked and they linked it and everything was fine afterwards. The problem they were protecting against was to make sure the line stayed within the thermal limits, just to make sure there was full functionality of the prop. It turned out that the limit was tighter than it needed to be. It was quickly fixed and the dragon is in beautiful shape. Brandy we have a followup question from reuters. That,t a followup on other than the prop line heaters , was there anything else that you detected during flight during the docking sequence that kind of looked off or something that was unexpected that you didnt see in the prior tests . There was only one other thing of note and it was shortly after launch. It had to do with the thermal control system. Theres a loop a and a loop be and there are segments of the thermal loop that are isolated. Based on differentials with the temperature essentially, when you have certain parts of the loop that are exposed to different temperatures and they are equalized on the ground at the same temperature, maybe they were exposed to different temperatures at loads during the early phases come once the isolation of the loop was opened and no longer isolated, it caused a pressure transient which ended up a fault detection to trip and because one loop to go offline temporarily. There was no issues. It was one of these cases where the problem was identified quickly. Looking back at previous tests in the previous mission, it was something seen before, but not enough such that it tripped off any sort of limit. It was identified quickly. The team was all over it and able to fix it quickly. So no issues whatsoever. Kathy i think both are examples of how you learn how your system operates when youre flying and how it is going to operate in orbit. Like we had mentioned, was it something that you learned while you were flying . Yes, those are both things from a systems perspective that are normal things that you learn while you are starting to bring on a new system. Folks have been very cautious setting the limits. So you learn with thermal that you have convection on the ground and you cant assimilate all of those. So we do put in limits which are tight so we can see those far before they end up being problematic, and that was the case here. Brandy thank you so much for the reporters who stuck with us through the long night. It was well worth the wait. It is great to have crew dragon at the International Space station. You can tune back in wednesday morning to see the two russian members of the crew take a spacewalk. They will be going outside the module to do some work preparing for the arrival of a new Russian Research module. Coverage begins at 7 30 a. M. And the launch will be at 8 30 a. M. Thank you and have a great night. Coming up tuesday on cspan, the house meets at 10 00 a. M. Eastern for general speeches followed by legislative business at noon.
