go to lunch. Alright, the range remains ready for launch. The time is *** to go. Today will be the first flight of the thruster and the dragon spacecraft T -30 seconds At launch. The International Space Station will be 260 miles high and fly south of Nuremberg, Germany. The first step will take about 15 seconds. All right, here we are. T minus 10 987654321 engines at full power and CRS 26 lift off. Go falcon and happy thanksgiving ISS That’s right SpaceX Falcon nine rocket lift off for 26th cargo resupply mission bringing new science experiments and solar panels at the international space station There you can see Falcon nine carrying crs 26 en route to the international space station. We are slowing down the motors on the first stage and this helps prepare us for max Q which is the maximum dynamic pressure. This is the greatest structural load the vehicle sees on *** pennies and we should get through this period, should get through this period in *** seconds here. XQ. And there’s that call we’ve been through maX Q. Great views there of Falcon Nine carrying Nasa’s CRS 26 mission. We are coming to *** few events running consecutively that will be cut by Meco or main engine on the first event. This is where the nine M one D engines stopped on this first stage, the nine engines that you see on your screen there and that’s in preparation for the next event which is the separation of the stages. This is where the 1st and 2nd floor separate. The first stage will turn around and descend back to earth and land on our named drone ship just read the instructions while the second stage fires up its merlin and reverse engine to propel the dragon into low earth orbit while the first or first stage’s engine starts. of the second stage one. And the last event is the boost back burn to reduce the speed of To reduce the speed of the first stage in preparation for atmospheric reentry. And this whole sequence takes about 30 seconds and we get to these few events happening here in *** seconds. Separation of the Mhm and Meego stages confirmed Start of the first stage, ignition of the second stage. Some really cool views there. We had a Miko stage split, the rear M engine lighting up on your right screen. We also saw the first stage kind of in the sight of the second stage of sight they fall back to earth doing *** flip and now in its boost back burn. This burn lasts about 30 seconds The first stage of the boost return stop and there is this call and the boost return burn stopped on the first step which is the left screen this is a *** view of the first stage there on your right hand screen, *** view of the second stage looking at r. M rear engine and you can see on your screen on your left screen the grille fins are rolling out on this first stage. Very cool views.
