Transcripts For CSPAN NASA SpaceX Launch Crew-5 To Internat

CSPAN NASA SpaceX Launch Crew-5 To International Space Station October 6, 2022

Coming up on two minutes until left off standing by for work that stage ii load has been completed. Dragon is in idle. Stage two oxygen load is complete. We heard the callout falcon nine is completely fueled. All of its propellant you can see the leftover liquid oxygen now being vented or released pulling further away from the vehicle. Nearly one Million Pounds of liquid oxygen and rp1 now on board. Fully loaded and ready for launch. And coming up at t minus one minute we will hear that dragon is in countdown and the flight computer will switch to countdown mode and we will hear but the flight termination system is armed. It is armed and it is now controlling. Dragon is in countdown. The flight computer is in countdown. The flight system is now armed. We should get the final go from mark. Dragon space x, godspeed. Go for launch. Space x dragon, go for launch. D30 seconds. Team reports go, 30 seconds until left off. T minus 15. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Ignition. And left off. [cheering] lift off. The dragon soaring into space. Phase one propulsion. The vehicle is pitching downrange and days one proportion is nominal. We are now at t plus 45 seconds into the faith rumination on dragon and falcon 9. Coming up in a few seconds we will hear a car out for stage one throttle down. Stage one, throttle down. The engines are throttling down to pass through the period of maximum dynamic pressure. Wants the vehicle enters, we just heard that the vehicle is traveling faster than the speed of sound. Once through label throttle the marlin engines back up. Stage one, throttle up. Stage line, throttle. Copy, one bravo. That means that we are in the second and final a bright note for the first stage, continuing to get good performance. The crew is pulling over 2gs and next up will be a couple of events in rapid succession, which will be angie and carol on the second step engine kyl where we will have main engine cut off where the nine engines igniting will cut off in preparation of stacking stage separation. And we will see the single marlin vacuum engine merlin vacuum engine ignite and continue to carry astronauts to orbit. Just like we did on the first stage the impact chill is intended to prechill before the flow of liquid oxygen. Stage one, throttle down. At this point in time the engines are throttling down in preparation for main engine cut off. Standing by. Stage two alpha. Copy, two alpha. There we should see be second engine ignite. [cheering] and obviously confirmed ive allow by the loud cheering. And we are in two alpha for the abort stage. Second stage is lifting and continuing to carry the astronauts into orbit. We are getting a few of the first stage after the separation. The second stage is being eliminated by that vacuum engine on the righthand side. The first stage on the lefthand side making its way back at earth and attempting to land it on the drones ship. We did hear about the acquisition of the brown of the ground station in bermuda. The first stage is making its way back to earth and the second stage will continue. Another good call, trajectory nominal. Copy. Confirmation from the commander. You can also sort of see the space coast in the background the first stage on the lefthand side of your screen and you could actually see the thrust plume created by the first stage as it rotates just out of screen. Second stage will continue firing until a little over eight minutes into the flight, really doing the heavy lifting right now into orbit. Things look nominal on first and second stages. The first stage will make a landing on one of our drone ships part 100 miles off the coast of bermuda in the atlantic ocean. A good confirmation that we have trajectory. The second stage traveling over 5400 miles per hour. The crew is pulling a little bit more than 1g which will continue to ramp up peaking before we get to second stage cut off in a few minutes from now. First stage will be performing two separate burns, a reentry burned where we reignite three of the engines on the first stage and ignite the Center Engine to help slow it down as it enters the atmosphere, and then the second 10 final burn, landing burn on the drone ship. The singleengine that you seek trajectory nominal. The single copy. On the right of your screen is continuing to fire. We heard another callout that trajectory is nominal and the crew is heading in the direction that they are supposed to be. The singleengine can produce over 225 220 5000 pounds of thrust in the vacuum of space and over 200 kilometers in altitude. We will start to hit events in a rapid succession as the first stage makes its way back to earth and the second stage continues the burn with just a few minutes left in the burn. For those of you just joining us, over 6. 5 minutes ago, or four crew5 astronauts launched from Kennedy Space center in florida and are making way their way into orbit inside of the crew dragon. We are hearing that the trajectory on that is nominal. Dragon, copy. They are inside dragon endurance where the first stage is making its way back to earth. We are coming up to the reentry burned. Which as i said before we ignite three of the nine engines to help slow the booster down as reenters the dense part of the earths atmosphere. As it completes we will be in the final entry burn start up. You can see that the entry burn has been initiated. And asked that entry burn completes, we will be in the final different abort phases shortly which correspond to areas along the northeastern seaboard of the u. S. Phase one entry burn shutdown. The entry burn was shuts down and then this is all the way across the atlantic off of the coast of scotland with the abort zones. Everything continues to look nominal. And the crew with the second stage still attached is traveling over 13,000 miles per our. We are about 10 seconds away. Copy, shannon. Shannon, that carl out for shannon, ireland indicative of our final abort zone. After this we will see second stage shut off and we are looking for confirmation of a good orbit meaning that the crew and dragon are exactly where they need to be. And there we had confirmation that the entry space x how can orbit insertion how can orbit insertion. We can see the drone ship coming interview as falcon 9 landing lights have been deployed. The landing lights have been deployed. Oh yes. [cheering] you can see on the screen and hear by the clapping and cheering that falcon 9 landed on the drone s you are watching the postlaunch news conference. We have kathy leaders, associate administrator for Operation Mission director at nasa headquarters. Steve fitch, manager commercial Group Program from houston. Joe montalbano, manager International Space program in the johnson and sarah
