00:01Here on your screen, you can see on the left, that is the space station's robotic arm that NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick is going to be controlling.
00:09He's going to push that into Cygnus and grapple onto it.
00:18NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps is assisting him, serving as his second set of eyes.
00:24You'll also hear her call down to the crew in mission control.
00:27The astronauts do have the go from ground teams here on Earth to proceed with capture.
00:57Okay, thank you so much for watching.
00:58I hope you have not had the power of the fuckin sea as I cannot be on Earth.
01:03Youossa has got seven Denisた is the sun as you can see episodes, and we can see the sun as ice as you.
01:11Team, we can see that.
01:13When it is our sun and of us.
01:17Next point, let's get that vuelta.
01:20You, you, you, you, you have to flag us.
02:54We're in step 4.2 and we're waiting to capture for lighting conditions.
02:59Houston copies.
03:00Houston copies.
03:01The crew is standing by for better lighting conditions.
03:25We did just recently exit that orbital nighttime and are into that orbital daytime right now.
03:34This is a live view of Cygnus and the robotic arm on the left.
03:39The robotic arm has not started to move yet.
03:42Again, the crew is waiting for better lighting conditions.
03:44Yeah.
03:45Yeah.
04:14at the end of the robotic arm is the lee that's the latching end effector the hand of the arm
04:30there are latches and snares that are going to grab onto the target nasa astronaut matthew
04:37dominic is going to maneuver that arm so that it can grab onto the station on two we're ready
04:44with the lighting and um we can complete step four decimal two on your go houston copies go for it
04:54or
05:14you
05:15you
05:44NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps on board the space station confirmed that they are good
05:57to proceed with capture, however the robotic arm is not currently moving yet.
06:05You are seeing live views of that capture on your screen right now.
06:14And we have confirmed movement, the crew is pushing in the robotic arm to Cygnus.
06:33We do have a camera at the end of that lee or the latching end effector.
06:40We are seeing live views now as NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic pushes in the robotic arm to Cygnus.
06:53The circle towards the bottom is actually the grapple target.
06:57Dominic is going to be aiming for that horizontal bar just above it.
07:02The fixtures on the robotic arm are going to engage with that circular pinwheel shape that
07:09is directly below the horizontal bar.
07:17The ground is going to be aiming for the landing.
07:24The pole is moving, and then the flying arm is moving.
07:34The pole is moving, and then the flying arm is moving.
07:37The pole is moving.
07:421 meter.
08:122.11 a.m. Central Time, 3.11 a.m. Eastern Time, while the space station flew
08:42over the South Atlantic Ocean, Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission
08:48was successfully captured at the hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick.
09:04The Cygnus cargo spacecraft, as you see on your screen, is now securely attached to the
09:10space station's robotic arm.
09:18Next up is going to be the installation of the Cygnus spacecraft.
09:23That is actually going to be done by the ground team here in Mission Control Houston.
09:31For now, NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps are relieved from their duties.
09:38We'll go on to their tasks for the day.
09:40We are going to take a brief break on our coverage, and we will be back for that installation.
10:09That 1 to 1 to 1 of this, it's very sharp, and that way you can take a brief break.
10:12We're going to work, and we're going to go ahead and get an eye-frux.
10:13That's going to be the aspect of the number 6 Hannah shutdown I open the game.
10:14I'll go home, dog'sара,'rux.
10:15That's why they're in this case.
10:16I think it's like this setup.
10:47We'll go for Cygnus post-capture reconfiguration.
11:06You know, the space station brings a lot of visiting vehicles aboard, and we make it seem regular,
11:12but there's nothing regular about making one space station connect to another.
11:15It's incredible every single time.
11:17Welcome aboard the space station, Dick Scopey.
11:23Houston copies all and concurs.
11:25This has been an incredible effort from both our Northrop Grom and NASA teams,
11:28and all the way from mission planning and preparation leading up to launch,
11:31and especially over the past 48 hours of mission execution.
11:34Outstanding work today to you all, and congrats on successfully capturing the 21st Cygnus
11:38and 50th visiting vehicle to the International Space Station.
11:41Why don't you all go celebrate with some ice cream?
11:46Did you say 50th?
11:47It's incredible.
11:48What an incredible group of teams from around the planet make this happen every single time.
11:52Thank you, guys.
12:10You heard wonderful congratulatory remarks.
12:24Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft, supporting Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission
12:35to the International Space Station, has been successfully grappled at the hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic,
12:42with NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps serving as his backup.
12:452.11 a.m. Central Time, 3.11 a.m. Eastern Time is our official time of capture.
12:542.11 a.m. Central Time is our official time of capture.
