>> FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.
>> INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO NASA KENNEDY SPACE CENTER FOR
THE POST LAUNCH NEWS CONFERENCE OF THE SUCCESSFUL SPACEX TO
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
I'M STEPHANIE MARTIN.
I'M JOINED BY NASA'S DAN HARTMAN THE DEPUTY PROGRAM MANAGER FOR
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROGRAM SPACEX VICE PRESIDENT.
WE'LL START WITH OPENING COMMENTS AND WE'LL TAKE YOUR
QUESTIONS.
IF YOU'RE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, PLEASE SEND IN YOUR QUESTIONS,
USING #NASA ON TWITTER.
>> GORGEOUS DAY, SPECTACULAR LAUNCH.
IT IS SO NICE TO BE OFF THE PAD TODAY AND AVOID ALL THE
CONSTRAINTS.
LOOKING FORWARD WE MIGHT HAVE HAD IN CASE THE WEATHER DIDN'T
COOPERATE.
WE'RE EXTREMELY HAPPY TO BE AN OUR WAY.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SPACEX TEAM FOR REMARKABLE LAUNCH.
LOOKS LIKE DRAGON IS HEALTHY AND ON ITS WAY TO ISS.
CREW READY FOR IT ARRIVAL.
REALLY EAGER TO DIVE INTO THE RESEARCH.
WE HAVE AGGRESSIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM PLANNED.
I KNOW THEY'RE READY TO GO.
TEAMS ON GROUND READY TO GO AND IMPLEMENT.
IT'S GOING TO BE A FUN 30 DAYS FOR ON THE BOARD CREW AND TEAM
ON THE GROUND.
I LIKE TO SAY A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR LATE TEAM.
LAST NIGHT AND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON YOU GUYS SAW THE
WEATHER AROUND HERE.
GOT CALLED OFF THE PAD A COUPLE OF TIMES.
I THINK LOST A COUPLE OF HOURS TWO HOURS OF TRYING TO DO THE
LATE LOAD WITH OUR POLARS AND GETTING OUR ANIMAL HABITATS
ONLINE AND INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE.
THEY DID A GREAT JOB.
WE ACTUALLY RAN BEHIND OUR TURNOVER AT 12 HOURS BEFORE
LAUNCH.
A TIME PERIOD SPACEX WORKED WITH US ON THAT.
JUST A TREMENDOUS EFFORT THAT WE CAN GET ALL THE LATE LOAD CARGO
ALL PLANNED.
NOTHING WAS REMOVED OR ANYTHING.
IT'S ALL ON ITS WAY TO THE SPACE STATION.
THE SPACEX TEAM SUPPORT HERE WITH THE KSD PERNELL TO HELP --
PERSONNEL TO HELP OUT WITH THE LATE LOAD.
LOOKING FORWARD TO BIRTHING ON WEDNESDAY MORNING.
AGAIN, JACK WILL BE THE PRIME TO BRING IT IN.
THAT WILL OCCUR AROUND 6:00 A.M.
WE'RE NOW WORKING ANY ISSUE ON THE ISS THAT WILL PREVENT A GOOD
BIRTHING.
COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH TODAY'S LAUNCH.
PECULIAR SHOW.
OVER WHO HAWN.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I HAVE GREAT THING TO REPORT.
WE HAD GOOD CATCH UP YESTERDAY AND MANY THANKS TO THE NASA CREW
ON THE LATE LOAD.
THEY MADE UP IN TIME TO GET THE ROCKET VERTICAL AND LOADED AND
READY FOR THE LAUNCH.
THE SECOND STAGE RUN INTO NEAR PERFECT ORBIT.
DEPLOYED DRAGON.
DRAGON PRIME PROPELLERS HAS PERFORMED FIRST QUALITY AT THIS
POINT IN TIME.
GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT THING IS THE GNC OR OPENING AND
CONTINUING STATION.
THEN FIRST LANDING WAS SUCCESSFUL TOO.
I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE VIDEO ON THAT.
THERE WE GO.
COMING OUT THE CLOUDS.
>> OUT OF THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER.
>> RETURN YOU CAN'T SEE THE LANDING DEPLOY.
PERFECT TOUCH DOWN.
IT'S MY EYES.
FROM WHAT I HEARD, -- VERY SOFT TOUCH DOWN.
IT'S GREAT BOOSTER.
READY TO GO THE NEXT TIME.
AGAIN, THANK FOR THE CREW.
THANKS FOR THE NASA CREW AND ALSO AGAIN, THANKS FOR THE
F.A.A. AND THE RANGE BROUGHT TO THE WEEKEND TO GET READY FOR
LAUNCH.
THANKS TO NASA.
>> THANK YOU BOTH.
WE'LL TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS IN ROOM.
IF YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND AND STATE YOUR NAME AND
AFFILIATION.
>> TWO QUESTIONS FOR HAHN, ONE I KNOW SPACEX IS WORKING TOWARDS
FINAL BUILD FOR THE COMMERCIAL CREW.
YOU GIVE US A SENSE WHERE THE ROCKET WE SAW TODAY IS ALONG
THAT PATH.
ALSO EVERY LAUNCH SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR IS A NEW RECORD FOR
SPACEX IN TERMS OF ANNUAL FLIGHTS.
WHAT DOES THAT CADENCE MEAN FOR YOUR PRODUCTION AND RELIABILITY?
>> LET ME ON THE STATISTICS THAT I STARTED YESTERDAY.
WE'RE NOW ON THE 38th LAUNCH AND THE 12th CARGO MISSION AND
THE 13th FLIGHT FOR THIS YEAR AND -- SORRY, NOT SURE IF THAT'S
12th FLIGHT.
13th LANDING -- NO 14th LANDING.
SIX SUCCESSFUL LANDINGS.
I THINK OBVIOUSLY, THOSE NUMBERS MEAN A LOT IN TERMS OF
RELIABILITY AND LOOKING -- FIRST LANDING IS ENORMOUS ADVANTAGE.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE STAGE AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW PARTS LOOK
AND IF THERE'S ANY DAMAGE IN THE TRACES.
ANY CORROSION OR ANYTHING WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE.
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S A GREAT WIN.
THAT'S FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, LIABILITY, THAT'S PROBABLY ONE
OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT'S GETTING MORE RELIABLE.
IN TERMS OF THIS VEHICLE, TOWARD THE END VERSION OF THE CREW.
I WILL SAY, 96, OR 97 PERCENT PRETTY CLOSE.
AFTER EVERY LAUNCH, I'M VERY HAPPY AND GLAD ROCKET DID SO
WELL.
>> FOR DAN.
IT'S MORE CURIOSITY QUESTION.
I KNOW BACK IN FEBRUARY, DRAGON HAD A LITTLE HICCUP ON ITS FIRST
BIRTHING ATTEMPT TO THE STATION.
IF THAT WERE TO OCCUR AGAIN, WHAT WOULD THE CONTINGENCY PLAN
BE IN TERMS THE SPACE WALK.
>> I CLARIFIED THAT YESTERDAY.
THE MAIN THING WITH WORKING WITH THE RUSSIANS, IF WE GET INTO A
CONTINGENCY CASE WHERE WE'RE ALREADY IN THE AIR AND WE NEED
TO DO ONCE AROUND AND REVERT THE NEXT DAY, WE HAVEN'T HAD THE
DISCUSSION WITH THE RUSSIANS.
I'M SURE WE'LL COORDINATE A SUCCESSFUL BIRTHING AND BE ABLE
TO CARRY OUT THEIR EVA.
WHETHER WE CAN DO IT SAME DAY OR NOT, WE HAVE TO WORK THAT.
I THINK THE RUSSIANS WOULD WORK WITH US.
I'M REALLY NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT IN CASE WE DO HAVE THAT
PROBLEM ON THE FEBRUARY MISSION.
>> REALLY FOR BOTH OF YOU.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN GIVE US UPDATE ON THE CREW DRAGON.
REALLY EASY TO IMAGINE AND HAPPY TO IMAGINE A YEAR FROM NOW WE
MIGHT BE LAUNCHING PEOPLE ON THE DRAGON.
HAHN, CAN YOU TELL US WHERE WE'RE AT.
FROM THE NASA PERSPECTIVE, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
>> FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, WE HAVE PIECES OF HARDWARE, LARGE PIECES
COMING TOGETHER TO -- THE CREW CAPSULE BASICALLY, WE ARE IN
QUALIFYING HARDWARE AND WORKING THROUGH THE FINAL DESIGNS.
IT'S COMING ALONG GREAT.
I SEE PEOPLE LOOK IN OPERATIONS.
I THINK THIS IS COMING TOGETHER AT A GREAT PACE WITH A LOT OF
EFFORTS FROM THE TEAM.
I'M PRETTY SURE, LOOKS RIGHT.
>> WE'RE VERY EAGER IN THE FY19 PERIOD TO SEE A COMMERCIAL CREW
DRAGON COME TO THE STATION.
ON A ROUTINE BASIS.
I IMAGINE YOU'LL SEE US FLYING SOME DRAGON TWO VERSION OF VERY
SIMILAR SPACECRAFT TO SUPPORT CARGO OR TO GET SOME MORE
FLIGHTS UNDER ITS BELT ON DRAGON TWO.
MAYBE BEFORE WE STEP UP TO SERIOUS CREW ROTATIONS THAT WE
NEED TO OCCUR ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
WE'RE WORKING WITH SPACEX NOW TO SEE WHEN THAT CONVERSION TIME IS
TO GO FROM DRAGON ONE CONFIGURATION INTO A DRAGON TWO.
GET MORE RUN TIME ON THAT VEHICLE.
THOSE DISCUSSIONS ARE ONGOING.
>> TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT.
AT WHAT POINT DO YOU EXPECT TO NAME A CREW TO THE SPACEX FLIGHT
TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION?
>> SURE.
WE HAVE OUR FOUR CREW THAT ARE IN THE TRAINING.
DISCUSSES ARE ONGOING.
I THINK WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.
I'LL SAY WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO.
WE COULD HAVE TO SPECIFY, DETAILED TRAINING DOWN AND IN.
WHAT SHOULD TWO CREW MEMBERS MAYBE SELECTED.
I HAVE TO CHECK WITH COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM.
I'VE SEEN SOME RECENT DISCUSSIONS ON THAT THAT WE'RE
GETTING PRETTY CLOSE.
>> COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
HAHN, WHICH BOOSTER ARE YOU REUSING FOR YOUR UPCOMING SES
MISSION.
DAN, CAN YOU COMMENT AT ALL ON NASA'S LOOKING AT REUSED
BOOSTERS FOR CRS MISSIONS?
>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.
I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE CRS BOOSTERS.
I THOUGHT IT'S THE LAST ONE OR THE ONE BEFORE.
NOT TOTALLY SURE ON THOSE TWO.
>> FOR CRS MISSIONS OUR PLAN IS FOR CRS-13 TO USE A NEW BOOSTER.
WE ARE IN PARALLEL WITH THAT AND ASSESSING AND HAVE TEAMS IN
PLACE.
LOOKING FOR ALL THE DATA AND DATA REQUEST BACK INTO SPACEX.
ALL OUR ENGINEERING TEAMS ARE IN PLACE AND WE HOPE TO HAVE SOME
SORT OF ANSWER WHERE WE CAN TAKE TO THE AGENCY TEAM BY THE END OF
SEPTEMBER IS OUR CURRENT PLAN.
A LOT OF DATA HAS TO BE EXCHANGED.
LOT OF ANALYSIS HAS TO OCCUR PRIOR TO THAT.
AS LONG AS SOME OF THOSE MILESTONES ARE MET, WE HOPE TO
BE CLOSE BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.
WHETHER WE CAN TURN THAT AROUND AND SAY, WE'RE GOOD TO GO ON A
SPACEX 13, ROCKET.
THAT ISN'T OUR PLAN.
WE'LL SEE WHERE WE GET TO COMFORT WISE AFTER THAT.
WE'RE SERIOUS.
WE GOT THE REQUEST IN FROM SPACEX.
WE'RE TAKING A HARD LOOK AT IT AND I IMAGINE IT WILL HAPPEN.
IT'S JUST A MATTER WHEN IT DOES OCCUR.
>> THANKS.
WHICH BOOSTER WOULD THAT BE?
>> I'M NOT QUITE SURE.
CR S-13 MISSION IS A BRAND NEW BOOSTER.
IT'S THE PLAN NOW.
WHICH REUSED BOOSTER THAT IS.
I'M NOT HURE.
>> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THAT.
IN OUR ASSESSMENT, WE'RE LOOKING AT IT GENERICALLY, ACROSS ALL
REUSED BOOSTERS.
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF DATA IN FROM EACH ONE.
WE'RE DOING ASSESSMENTS ON VARIOUS COMPONENTS, VARIOUS
SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.
THERE'S SOME DON'TS THAT WE KNOW EVEN WITH THE REUSED SPACEX,
CHANGES OUT ON ROUTINE BASIS.
ALL THAT'S IN WORK.
LIKE I SAID, COME END OF SEPTEMBER, WE HOPE TO HAVE A
CALL ON THAT.
>> HAHN, FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR, LITTLE BIT OF A GAP HERE.
HOW IS THE SECOND HALF WILL UNFOLD.
THIS IS YEAR 11th.
>> SIX WEEKS.
LONG TIME.
USED TO LAUNCH EVERY OTHER MONTH.
THEN EVERY MONTH AND NOW EVERY TWO WEEKS.
YOU BASICALLY HAVE LITTLE VACATION IN THE MIDDLE.
EVERYBODY GOES ON THE BREAK.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE ON THAT PACE.
THIS IS LITTLE BIT PRODUCTION AND HOW THE WHOLE SEQUENCE
STACKS UP HOW MANY OF THE PEOPLE WE CAN USE.
THE PLAN IS TO CONTINUE AT THAT PACE AND BRING IT TO A LEVEL OF
EFFORT THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN AND KEEP GOING.
I DO WANT TO CONFIRM, IT WAS CS- CS-10 EARLIER.
>> I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION IN THE ROOM.
>> HAHN, WHEN YOU HAVE THE NINE DATE LAUNCH, LET'S SAY THE TWO
STARTS NINE DAYS.
YOU HAVE LANDED SEA TWO CONSECUTIVE TIME.
IS THERE ENOUGH TIME TO GET THE FIRST STAGE BACK UNLOADED AND
RETURN BACK FOR A SECOND LANDING?
DO YOU TRY AND LAND TWO ON THE SHIP AT THE SAME TIME?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENOUGH SPACE.
YOU HAVE TWO SHIPS.
>> TWO SHIPS HERE?
>> WE DON'T HAVE TWO SHIPS HERE.
SHIPS CAN MOVE AROUND.
>> OKAY.
[LAUGHTER] >> IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
I DON'T THINK YOU COULD EVER -- THAT WILL BE SUPER TIGHT.
THE SHIP IS NOT VERY -- IT'S A BIG SHIP.
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
YOU HAVE BOOSTER ON IT.
IT SEEMS SO SHRINK IN SIZE.
>> PLANS TO MOVE THE OTHER SHIP HERE?
>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S PLANS NOW.
THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT GOES INTO THE SEQUENCING.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU STACK THE EMISSIONS ACCORDINGLY SO YOU
DON'T HAVE TWO SEA LAUNCHES.
BY THE WAY, I THINK THE TIMING COULD WORK OUT TOO.
TAKES COUPLE OF DAYS TO GO BACK AND GO BACK OUT THERE.
I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.
I MUST ADMIT IT'S A GOOD NEW QUESTION TO ME.
I THINK TIMING COULD ACTUALLY WORK OUT.
>> ANECDOTALLY, YOU'RE PULLING THE BOOSTER OFF THESHIP THE DAY
YOU SUPPOSED TO LAUNCH.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE DAY SHORT.
I'M SURE YOU CAN SPEED THINGS UP.
>> I'M PRETTY SURE ONE DAY IS NOT A PROBLEM.
>> FOR DAN, I WAS HOPING TO GET A GENERALIZED COST FOR
ASTRONAUTS FOR U.S. COMMERCIAL CREW COMPARED TO THE CURRENT
RATE?
>> I DON'T HAVE THOSE.
WE CAN GET THOSE.
WE CAN PROVIDE IT. >> IS THERE A LITANY OF
POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS IN THE FUTURE THAT ARE EXPECTED TO
SHIP?
MIGRATE TO THE U.S. COMMERCIAL CREW?
>> CERTAINLY WE'LL HAVE OUR NEEDS TO SUPPORT THE ASTRONAUTS
WE PLAN TO FLY.
FOR WHAT WE PLAN TO DO TO THE MAINTAIN AND OPERATE ON DO
RESEARCH ON BOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
OTHER USES FOR ADDITIONAL CREW MEMBERS OURS ARE GOING TO BE FOR
CREW OF FOUR.
IF THERE'S OTHER USES FOR SPACEX AND PASSENGER CAPABILITY THAT
THEY'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT, YOU HAVE TO ASK THEM.
>> OKAY.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WRAP UP TODAY'S POST LAUNCH NEWS
CONFERENCE.
THE DRAGON WILL ARRIVE AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ON
WEDNESDAY WITH NASA TELEVISION COVERAGE STARTING AT 5:30 A.M.
AND EXPECTED TO CAPTURE AT 7:00 A.M.
