00:00Houston is conducting their poll to ensure that we are go for final approach and docking when we depart waypoint to again final hold point for today's mission.
00:10So this is really game time. We are getting close to seeing these two new crew members arrive at the space station again once they dock.
00:17It'll take about two hours for all of the operations required before we see them float through the hatch.
00:23That includes vestibule depressurization. That's the space between Dragon and the International Space Station itself.
00:29And right now it is exposed to vacuum so that Dragon can dock. So freedom SpaceX on the big loop ground is go for final approach.
00:37Confirm crew readiness for approach and visors are down.
00:51And SpaceX freedom. Visors down. We are go for docking.
00:57SpaceX copies. As a reminder once Dragon is inside the crew hands off point retreat and breakout are not permitted.
01:16And freedom SpaceX we are resuming approach.
01:39Awesome news there from mission control and of course hearing our crew nine astronauts on board Dragon that we are go for docking.
01:46If you're watching closely you're also seeing some great pulses from those Draco thrusters on board as Dragon approaches the ISS for that final docking maneuver.
01:58Again that was the final hold and we heard the communications that we are go for docking and have resumed that approach. So we will not hold again.
02:06And they discussed chop which we mentioned earlier the crew hands off point that's within two meters from the International Space Station station Houston on the big loop.
02:15Dragon is on final approach and is go for docking monitor per steps five and six in one dot one zero two Dragon approach and retreat monitoring.
02:32So the sound like similar communications but the first was to the crew on Dragon the second is to our crew monitoring in the cupola and you hear them reference.
02:42What they should be looking at any procedures that they're referencing during this dynamic phase.
02:46And we're continuing to see a Dragon get closer to the International Space Station now about 17 meters away from the docking port again we do expect to be in an orbital nighttime during docking.
02:57But this is a pretty cool view as you can see a camera coming from Dragon and focusing on the docking port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port as we continue to approach now just 15 meters away.
03:10From the docking port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port as we continue to approach now just 15 meters away from the docking port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port as we continue to approach now just 15 meters away from the docking port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we are properly aligned with that node to forward port itself so it looks like we
