FunTranscript
00:00And you can see that live view and a beautiful view at that of Dragon Endurance as it approaches
00:05the International Space Station. Now these views are being captured by cameras on the
00:09International Space Station which is Dragon's target for today. And the International Space
00:13Station and Dragon are currently flying about 260 statute miles over the Indian Ocean.
00:20And so after CHOP and as we make that initial capture and the grand arrival when Crew 10
00:26arrives at the Space Station, Dragon will fly in and make contact with those international
00:31docking adopters giving us what we call soft capture. And the soft capture ring then retracts
00:37until sensors indicate it's time for 12 hooks, two sets of six, to drive in place to give us
00:42a hard capture and firmly secure Dragon to its new home on the Space Station.
00:47Then you can see Anne there on the right-hand box. Anne is on the left-hand side working
00:52on that tablet right now. Now a view of the International Space Station. So this is cool,
00:56you've got the ISS looking down at Dragon on your left and you've got Dragon looking up at the ISS
01:01on your right. I mean the views don't get much better than that except for maybe the four people
01:06who are in Dragon. And so the International Space Station and Dragon are currently flying just off
01:11the coast of Australia again as they make that or as Dragon makes its final approach to the
01:16International Space Station. So Dragon is currently about 560 meters away from the International
01:22Space Station and continuing to close in. Again we recently did have that go to go past that way
01:27point zero. So next up will be that way point one that we expect in just a few minutes. Dragon is
01:34now just about 330 meters away from the International Space Station. It's now inside
01:39way point zero approaching way point one which is that 220 meter mark. And then from there it'll
01:46continue on and enter inside what is known as the keep out sphere which is that 200 meter
01:51boundary around the International Space Station before we have that docking. It's been a long
01:56journey for Crew 10 since launch yesterday and even before that because they had all of those
02:01preparations leading up to launch, getting suit up, those final medical checks, all of the various
02:06processes that they went through prior to that liftoff at 7.03 p.m eastern, 4.03 p.m pacific.
02:13So I'm sure they will be glad to be welcomed on board the International Space Station in really
02:18just a few minutes, a few minutes from now. As we wait for crew confirmation we are getting
02:23video from the International Space Station's external cameras.
02:31Station on the big loop I can confirm I have good centerline camera. Station looks beautiful.
02:41We're inside six minutes from the planned arrival of way point one continuing to get these fantastic
02:46views provided from the International Space Station as well as from inside Dragon itself.
02:53Commander Anne McClain as well as pilot Nicole Ayers you see positioned as the camera in between them
03:02shows them in their launch and entry suits.
03:06We did hear before that they are allowed to bring up their visors
03:10through these set of procedures. Those suits are donned prior to joint operations.
03:17And they'll close their visors as part of the next dynamic phase which will be the docking.
03:23Now brightened by the sun we'll start to dim and you'll start to see the docking lights as
03:30well as the navigation lights. Docking light will be white at the center of the spacecraft
03:37and you'll see green and red lights on the forward bulkhead, green indicating the starboard position,
03:43red indicating the port position.
03:49The International Space Station cameras sometimes view from an upside down position as you can see
03:56from this view as the earth is on the top left of your screen. At way point two Dragon will hold
04:05for approximately five minutes.
04:10And you heard that call there indicating that the ISS and the crew there are now ready for
04:17Dragon's docking to the forward docking adapter of the Harmony module of the International Space
04:22Station. Dragon approaching waypoint two which is the point about 20 meters from the International
04:27Space Station's forward docking adapter. And as we did just hear there we are expecting Dragon to
04:32hold for about five minutes once it reaches that point. It crossed through waypoint one and waypoint
04:37zero without having to hold but again these these waypoints or checkpoints are places we can hold
04:42if we need to and if we don't we can proceed forward through them. And so we have gone through
04:47two of those waypoints so waypoint zero and one and so now Dragon is less than 200 meters away
04:53from the International Space Station about 170 meters currently away from its target of that
05:00node two forward docking port. And there you're seeing a great view on your screen of the Dragon
05:06Endurance spacecraft as it makes its final approach to the International Space Station.
05:11The teams in Mission Control Houston and the teams at the International Space or not the
05:17International Space Station the SpaceX Mission Control teams behind us are of course doing some
05:22final go no go pulls for docking. It's one of the final checkpoints between those teams to make
05:29sure everyone is good to proceed and to dock. We did hear that there will likely be a brief hold
05:36at waypoint two and again that waypoint two is just 20 meters away from the International Space
05:42Station so very close at that point so they will hold briefly and then from there we will have our
05:48final approach and docking we will have an initial soft capture. We did hear that the soft
05:54capture ring was being extended a few minutes ago. SpaceX Dragon Crew 10 is ready for final approach.
06:02And that is great words there to hear from SpaceX Mission Control.
06:07Resume has been commanded. Reminder once Dragon is inside the crew hands off point
06:11retreat and breakout are not permitted.
06:14And Anna here we go. So we did just hear that they have the go to resume final approach so that we
06:25had that brief hold completed at waypoint two which was just 20 meters away from the International
06:30Space Station so Dragon will now resume its final approach and finish its fly into the
06:36International Space Station's node two forward docking port. And we heard Dragon is in approach
06:42two. And we hear good confirmation of Dragon in that approach two mode meaning it has passed
06:48waypoint two and is coming into the station again you can see. Station Houston on the big loop
06:52Dragon is on final approach and is go for docking monitor per steps five and six in 1.102 Dragon
06:59approach and retreat monitoring. Station copy. And that was the call from the International Space
07:08Station flight control room to the crew on the ISS again just everyone confirming making sure
07:13everyone's on the same page as Dragon is now very close to docking with the International Space
07:18Station here today. You've got the ISS staring at Dragon on the left hand side of your screen and
07:23you've got Dragon looking at its docking port on the ISS on the right. And Dragon is now less than
07:30seven meters away from the International Space Station as it continues to make that final
07:35approach. Less than three meters away.
07:45Copy hands off. There is the chop call standing by for initial contact of Dragon to the International
07:54Space Station.
08:16Dragon contact and soft capture complete.
08:19And there you heard Dragon has successfully docked to the International Space Station. We have contact and soft capture confirm soft capture meaning that the initial soft capture ring around Dragon has physically connected with the International docking adapter. And this is just the first part of the overall docking sequence Ana.
08:41And so we did have that contact confirmed at 9.04 p.m. Pacific 11.04 p.m. Central while both Dragon
08:50and the International Space Station were flying 260 statute miles. Capture ring retraction in progress.
08:58Flying 260 statute miles over the Atlantic Ocean and we did just hear confirmation that that soft
09:04capture ring is now beginning to retract. So they're beginning those steps to firmly attach
09:10Dragon to the International Space Station so that we can have what is known as a hard capture.
09:18Standing by for words from Expedition 72. You see the bell in position that will be rung.
09:26Audio will be streamed down of the bell welcoming the crew. Expedition more Expedition 72 members
09:32Houston you are go in step six decimal three. The first crew 10.
09:53Onishi the first crew 10 astronaut through the hatch.
09:56Followed by Peskov.
10:04Nicole Ayers the first of the flies newest class of astronauts to enter and last commander of crew 10 and McLean.
10:26Crew 10 has had a great journey up here about 28 hours to get back up to the space station and I
10:31cannot tell you the immense joy on of our crew when we looked out the window and we saw the
10:37space station for the first time. Returning for a couple of people very first time for a couple of
10:43people and let me tell you that is such an amazing journey. You can hardly even put it into words.
10:50The ride up on the Falcon 9 orbiting the earth for the last couple of days it's been an absolutely
10:55incredible and it is something that none of us could do by ourselves. As we've said before you
11:01cannot be great without the greatness of others and I tell you the greatness of the ground control
11:06teams have really shined through in the last few days getting us up here safely. Thank you very very much.
11:17Hey from the bottom of my heart thanks to our families friends and our colleagues from all
11:24the partners SpaceX, NASA, CSA, ESA, Roscosmos and JAXA for preparing us and making it possible
11:34for us to get here and we are so excited to now be officially part of the Expedition 72.
11:42Thank you thank you guys and I want to say a couple words in Japanese from here.
11:54I want to say a couple words in Japanese from here.
12:09Okay thank you. Thanks a lot.
12:14Thanks a lot one more time to SpaceX and NASA for this wonderful ride. That was really fun
12:21and thanks to all the world's airspace industry which works to make the dreams to come true and
12:28to take us further and further. That's really wonderful thanks to everyone working there.
12:50I'd like to just say again thank you to SpaceX for the awesome ride up here. As a rookie that was
13:05one of the coolest things I've ever done and I can't wait to get get to work up here. So
13:10so excited for the four pilots and us that just got to get to space together and
13:15now we're four astronauts together. So thank you to all of our friends and families and thank you
13:19to all all of the instructors and all of the ground teams who got us here. Can't wait to get started.
13:31And Houston thank you for tuning in this early morning. It was a
13:35wonderful day. Great to see our friends arrive. So thank you so much.
