Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Now we're going to start moving the power from both
- 0:04Speaker 1: the upper stage and the lower stage of the rocket
- 0:07Speaker 1: to internal taking ground power away and now going to
- 0:11Speaker 1: battery power. PLS is go for upper stage to internal power.
- 0:21Speaker 1: My power is removed from the rocket's upper stage the ICPS,
- 0:25Speaker 1: and it's been switched to battery. The same milestone for
- 0:28Speaker 1: the lower core stage. Coming up at T minus one
- 0:30Speaker 1: minute and thirty seconds. Right now, the four person Artemis
- 0:35Speaker 1: two crew is two hundred and forty eight thousand miles
- 0:38Speaker 1: away from the moon, and if all goes well, they
- 0:41Speaker 1: will fly by it in six days.
- 0:47Speaker 2: PLS is go for core stage to internal power.
- 0:51Speaker 1: All right, there's the rocket's core stage, which houses three
- 0:54Speaker 1: flight computers, is now on its own power. There's no
- 1:01Speaker 1: more whole time because there's no more margin on these batteries,
- 1:05Speaker 1: so we would have to recycle back to TEA minus
- 1:07Speaker 1: ten to recharge if we had a hold.
- 1:16Speaker 2: One minute.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Right now, the rocket does not know what the T
- 1:20Speaker 1: zero is, but coming up at T minus thirty three seconds,
- 1:23Speaker 1: control shifts from the ground launch sequencer to the rockets
- 1:26Speaker 1: on board autonomous launch sequencer or ALS. The rocket will
- 1:31Speaker 1: count itself down but honor any holds that could come
- 1:34Speaker 1: from the ground. Now Shortly after liftoff, Houston will take
- 1:38Speaker 1: control of the rocket and my colleague Gary Jordan will
- 1:41Speaker 1: take over commentary. PLF go for alf great call out.
- 1:47Speaker 1: The rocket is on its own. Four brave explorers ready
- 1:50Speaker 1: to ride the most powerful rocket NASA has ever launched.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Sound suppression, water is flowing empty, and here we go
- 2:06Speaker 1: ten nine eight seven rs, twenty five inchineslicked four three
- 2:14Speaker 1: two one booster, ignition and lift off. The crew of
- 2:21Speaker 1: Artemis two now bound for the Moon. Humanity's next great
- 2:24Speaker 1: voyage begins.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Good roll pitch Roger right a pitch.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Houston now controlling the flight of Integrity on the Artemis
- 2:40Speaker 3: two Mission round.
- 2:45Speaker 2: The Integrity a MD high.
- 2:49Speaker 3: High on time, passing thirty seconds into the lights. Integrity
- 2:54Speaker 3: passes the ultimate EGO target Milestone. Mission Control Houston seeing
- 2:58Speaker 3: good performance and Poty digits space lunch system core stage.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Integrity three miles in altitude, traveling more than twelve hundred
- 3:06Speaker 3: miles per hour mission at last time, passing one minute
- 3:30Speaker 3: approaching Mexicuty.
- 3:32Speaker 2: On pot on stand. We have all on Monday on
- 3:38Speaker 2: have you the same.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Communication signal transport performed as Integrity and its Krugo supersonic.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Approaching ninety seconds into the Artemis two mission, Integrity is
- 3:49Speaker 3: fourteen miles in altitude, eight miles down range, traveling more
- 3:52Speaker 3: than twenty six hundred miles per hour. One minute fifty
- 4:11Speaker 3: seconds of mission elapsed time standing by from main engine
- 4:14Speaker 3: throttled down to eighty five percent ahead of solid rocker boosters.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Separation expected at the two minute nine second mark. We
- 4:24Speaker 3: see thought throttle down, converged separation, main engines throttling up, guidance.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Converged antegrity guidance, converged performance, nominal Upper stage RCS ready,
- 4:51Speaker 2: cop y'alls man, Antegrity sm priming complete, Yes, I'm riving.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Complete two minus forty five seconds of mission to lapse
- 5:06Speaker 3: time into the Artemis two mission. Frusters on Integrity and
- 5:09Speaker 3: upper stage confirmed in a ready state, head of service
- 5:11Speaker 3: module faring separation. Three minutes into the flight, Integrity forty
- 5:21Speaker 3: nine miles in altitude, seventy eight miles down range, now
- 5:24Speaker 3: passing five thousand miles per hour, standing by for a
- 5:41Speaker 3: launchboard system Jettison.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Hou Staid Integrity good last Jennison Great You Copy Jennison
- 5:52Speaker 2: Nico eight plus zero two. We see you say on boards,
- 6:00Speaker 2: and Houston has you loud and clear on Peter's at
- 6:04Speaker 2: the common line.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Outstanding, Stanley have his same. Three minutes fifty seconds into
- 6:14Speaker 3: the flight of Artemis two, Wiseman, Glover, Cook, and Hanson
- 6:17Speaker 3: cross the boundary to space with good com checks. GPS
- 6:20Speaker 3: signals acquired after last Jedison now working on internal checks
- 6:23Speaker 3: to verify accuracy. Flight dynamics officer analyze the time of
- 6:28Speaker 3: main engine cut off confirmed at eight minutes two seconds.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Time of MIKO.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Integrity GPS processing outstanding.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Stand We see the same, and we have a beautiful
