The Miracle of SpaceX

Video Transcript:

Reset It's just after 12.14 pm Eastern time on December 5th and you're looking at a live view of Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40 where a Falcon 9 is about to launch a Dragon spacecraft. Lift off is targeted for 12.29 pm Eastern time or 5.29 pm coordinated University time. I'm Alex Siegel, a Dragon Material Planner here at SpaceX. It is great to be here with you to cover the 19th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station for NASA. SpaceX's 19th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station is loaded with a variety of investigations sponsored by the US National Lab. This mission includes investigations from life, physical and material sciences, all with the intention of benefiting life on Earth. Let's get an idea about some of the investigations that are launching on SpaceX CRS-19. Over the past three years, Budweiser has sent a series of investigations to the ISS National Lab to evaluate the germination and gene expression of barley in space. This will mark Budweiser's fourth payload launching the station and builds on the company's previous experiments. This latest investigation will examine the barley mountain process of micrographing and results could have implications in food production both on Earth and in space. By doing studies in microgravity, for buoyancy is eliminated, researchers can better understand the physics of flamestrap. Such knowledge could lead to better infrastructure design and improve fire safety codes to help prevent injury, save lives and reduce property loss from flood. In 2019, more payloads launched the ISS National Lab than ever before, and crew members dedicated more time towards ISS National Lab research than any year previous. Showcase in the increased demand to leverage this unique facility for valuable R&D not possible on Earth. To learn more about all ISS National Lab spots or investigations on the submission, visit ISSNationalLab.org. This is just a small sample of the dozens of research experiments that Dragon will take up to the space station. You can follow at Space Underscore Station on Twitter for more information on the exciting microgravity research happening on the station. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, ignition, lift off. The above is pitch of damage. The Falcon 9 executes its reentry burn to slow itself down before hitting the dense part of the Earth's atmosphere. Lastly is the landing burn, which happens just before touchdown to take the booster softly down to the drone. We are at T plus 5 minutes and the second stage is on its way to drop off dragon into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first stage at an on-time launch today at twelve twenty nine p.m. Eastern time, just a few minutes ago, an mindless sent into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first stage had an on time launch today at 1229 p.m. Eastern time targeted orbit. As the reminder, the first stage had an on time launch today at 1229 p.m. into its targeted orbit.

That's 5,000 ticks eliminated per year. This is a very hardy animal, very tough animal. They can survive all kinds of different diseases. They can survive horrible injuries. And this one is actually very healthy. A lot of them I find will have injuries or scars. And he's actually very healthy. As a reminder, the first age had an on-time lunch today at into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first age had an on-time lunch today at... That was a sound of sickle burrito.

The entry burn, which is our next main event to look out for. 4. 4. 4. The left side of your screen, entry burn has begun. This should last just under 10 seconds and we expect to see it shut down shortly. The left side of your screen, entry burn, has begun. This should last just under 10 seconds and we expect to see it shut down shortly. The next major event we're looking for in just under a minute or so is the landing burn to begin. Stage 2 continues on nominal trajectory. We can find a good place for this little guy to call home. Into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first stage had an on-time launch today. Stage 2 continues on nominal trajectory. Stage 3 continues on nominal trajectory. We lost our feed on the left side of the screen of the first stage coming down. Stage 3 is starting. We did get confirmation that landing burn has begun. Hopefully we can pick that feed back up to see a landing. Stage 4 continues on nominal trajectory. Stage 4 continues on nominal trajectory. Stage 4 continues on nominal trajectory. We have lost our feed for the booster landing. This is an important part of our commitment to vehicle reusable. Into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first stage had an on-time launch today at 0.3X. You heard it right. Kathleen just said possums are precious. Police, 12 baby possums. Into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first day, at an on-time launch today, I... They're really harmless. Look at how quiet and gentle this little baby is. So they're eating semi-solid food. And the food that we're going to be giving them is mostly vegetables with some chicken bones, maybe some turkey necks once in a while. And then a special little pet diet formula. Into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first day, at an on-time launch today, I... Cricket is me and a possumum. We're both crazy and fun and just eccentric and off the wall. She's also got that super special side of her. And barley too. I mean, that was my sign. I'm just going to try to get a little bit of preparation to gently separate dragon from second stage. After that point in time, there you go. There's your live view of separation dragon. Carrying the hisui, the spectral emitter suite. That's going to attach the Japanese module and then the station battery right next to it. Just started crying and holding it. And she's like, thank you for making the worst day of my life better. That was the moment. We have something to do. He can make an impact. barley just was an instant edition. He was amazing. Like everybody loved it. His story. From there, it just went crazy. People from all over the messaging was saying, hey, I saw your possum. That was our call. Into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first stage at an on-time launch today. Hey, I saw your possum. Into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first stage at an on-time launch today. Hey, I saw your possum. Into its targeted orbit. As a reminder, the first stage at an on-time launch today. And because the views go in and out, we are showing you a live map of the position of the vehicle. We don't always have the high data rate in order to transmit video from the second stage or from dragon. We have animations that show you what you are looking at. Animations that show you what you are looking at. As a reminder, the first stage at an on-time launch today. Into its targeted orbit. Apa. Animations to show you what you are looking at.
