T+1d 6h | Welcome Ceremony finished |
T+1d 5h 50m | Dragon hatch open, Crew boarding ISS |
T+1d 4h 55m | ISS side of the hatch is open |
T+1d 3h 48m | Docking completed |
T+1d 3h 41m | hard capture started |
T+1d 3h 36m | Softcapture ring retracting |
T+1d 3h 34m | Softcapture |
T+1d 3h 29m | Departing Waypoint 2 |
T+1d 3h 23m | Waiting 6 minutes for a full nighttime to allow crew to see the docking port |
T+1d 3h 22m | Ground is Go for docking |
T+1d 3h 20m | Arrived at waypoint 2 |
T+1d 3h 05m | Soft-capture ring extending & continuing to waypoint 2 |
T+1d 2h 43m | Approaching Waypoint 1 at 3:34 UTC |
T+1d 2h | SpaceX Host change: u/hitura-nobad |
T+1d 2h 31m | Ground is GO for proceeding through waypoint 0 at 03:09 UTC (about 10 minutes from now.) |
T+1d 2h 25m | The crew are suited up, and the leak checks were good. |
T+1d 1h 59m | Dragon Resilience is now 7km from ISS. The next checkpoint (waypoint 0) is 42 minutes from now, when Dragon crosses through 400m. |
T+1d 1h 57m | The approach initiation burn has been completed. |
T+1d 1h 45m | Kate Rubins (aboard the ISS) and Dragon have confirmed good comms. |
T+1d 1h 29m | Mission control Dragon (in Hawthorne) and ISS (in Houston) are GO for approach initiation burn at 02:22 UTC. |
T+1d 0h 45m | Approach initiation burn is scheduled for 02:22 UTC (just over one hour from now), 15 minutes earlier than scheduled. This will require the crew to don their spacesuits earlier as well. |
T+1d 0h 1m | 24 hours after launch, and Resilience is T-2 hours 46 minutes from the scheduled docking with the ISS. |
T+23h 11m | Dragon is currently about 50km away from the ISS, preparing for the final approach and a docking in about 4 hours 21 minutes from now. |
T+23h 9m | The final coelliptic burn has been completed, placing Dragon into an orbit 2.5km below the ISS. |
T+23h 2m | Slew is in progress, and Dragon crew can see it. (I expect this is the alignment in preparation for the final coelliptic burn.) |
T+22h 51m | "The vehicle knows where it is, and it knows where the space station is. So it will perform the right burns for the approach." But does it know where the station isn't? |
T+22h 50m | This next burn coming up in about 18 minutes is the coelliptic burn, the last of the 5 major burns for this approach. This burn will be between 25-35 seconds. |
T+22h 26m | Transfer burn was nominal, but crew could not see dV information on their displays. |
T+21h 33m | Transfer burn coming up soon, a 30-second burn to bring Dragon's apogee to within 2.5km of ISS. |
T+21h 31m | Crew is planning to begin stowing unnecessary items to prepare for approach to ISS. |
T+21h 29m | Michael Hopkins signs off with: "We are 21 hours into a 6-month mission. All for one, Crew-1 for all." |
T+21h 27m | Michael Hopkins, concluding the tour: "When you first are selected as an astronaut and come in for basic training, you go through about two years of training. [...] Each unflown astronaut gets a silver pin. But once you pass that 100km mark, you get that gold pin. And we have one member of our crew who does not have the appropriate accoutrement for that accomplishment. So we're very happy to give Victor Glover his gold pin for 100km." |
T+21h 27m | Shannon Walker: "Eat, drink, and wait for the next engine burn." |
T+21h 26m | The area above the control panel is used for storage as well. Shannon is explaining how to drink water from a water bottle in zero-G: "Gently rotate the bottle to push the water to one side, then you can drink [without air]." |
T+21h 26m | Shannon Walker: "With 4 of us in here, it's quite a bit more crowded than when it was just BobnDoug." |
T+21h 25m | "Here is the powered payload, which is basically a refrigerator that holds ice cream. No, uh, it's science materials." |
T+21h 24m | After a brief mic issue, Soichi Noguchi discusses the lower area, beneath the seats: "I'm sitting over the mid-deck lockers, and this is quite a roomy area." |
T+21h 23m | Victor Glover, discussing the hatches. "About 24 hours ago, we entered Resilience through that side hatch. We don't open that again until we're splashed down. [...] We enter the ISS with the forward hatch, up here." |
T+21h 22m | "Touchscreen is quite nice [...] We also have some backup buttons here to accomplish critical functions." |
T+21h 20m | Media event aboard Resilience is beginning, with Michael Hopkins opening with a live tour of the Dragon capsule. |
T+19h 42m | New SpaceX livestream link for rendezvous and docking |
T+19h 00m | SpaceX host change: u/zlsa here, hosting for the next few hours. Feel free to ping me if you have any feedback! |
T+16h 57m | Crew awake |
T+16:45:00 | Norminal burn |
T+16:35:00 | Close Burn (602s 57.7 m/s) |
T+15:50:00 | Boost Burn (97s 9.02 m/s) |
T+07:00:00 | Crew went to sleep |
T+06:05:00 | Heaters reported working, were brought offline by a over conservative limit |
T+06:00:00 | SpaceX Host change , please ping u/hitura-nobad during daytime UTC if you have any feedback or want something added to this thread |
T+04:10:00 | Astronauts have requested approximately 15 minutes of privacy from the cameras in their capsule. One might conjecture that nature has come calling upon one or more of the crew.
|
T+04:00:00 | Heaters are re-enabled with a higher resistance tolerance setting to gather additional data on the problem
|
T+03:45:00 | Meanwhile, the crew are adjusting the cabin temperature to get cozy and ready for sleep
|
T+03:40:00 | Teams continue to work the issue with the propellant heaters to ensure the Dragon can safely dock with the space station tomorrow night
|
T+03:35:00 | The zero-G indicator is confirmed to be a "baby Yoda" figure
|
T+02:45:00 | While mission critical, the team has plenty of time to work to resolve the issue before the docking attempt
|
T+02:40:00 | A whole team is working on the propellant line heater issue. |
T+02:37:00 | Not time critical, but 3 of 4 are out while only 2 can be out for docking to be possible. |
T+02:36:00 | SpaceX CORE says three propellant line heaters are showing "high resistance. So they are currently marked alarmed by the software." |
T+02:35:00 | We did see 3 line heaters are reading high resistance, so the are currently marked alarmed by the software, we do have a team looking into it to look at recovery options. The implication here is there is a flight rule that requires us to have at least 2 of 4 working, currently 3 of 4 on the same quad are disabled, temperature margins are ok but that is something we are investigating. |
T+02:30:00 | That's a wrap for the press conference! Sorry for the lack of updates, I didn't want to miss my chance.
|
T+02:05:00 | Live |
T+02:00:00 | 2 Hours, press conference starting!
|
T+01:45:00 | Press conference delayed to 02:30 UTC/9:30 PM EST, while things continuing to go nominally in the Resilience capsule,
|
T+01:34:00 | Pres conference about to go live!
|
T+01:26:00 | Stay tuned for the press confrence, coming up in just a few minutes! Hopefully we'll be able to ask one of your questions!
|
T+01:25:00 | Crew has now donned their more comfortable clothing and are about to start their meal
|
T+00:01:02 | "The view is beautiful" from the Dragon capsule
|
T+00:01:01 | Boost burn is as scheduled at 16:20 UTC, additional phase burns may be required prior to that but are not believed to be needed at this time
|
T+00:01:00 | Pilot Victor Glover and Mission Specialist Soichi Noguchi have doffed their suits, now Commander Micheal Hopkins and Mission Specialist Shannon Walker are now going to do the same
|
T+00:56:00 | Phase burn was completed nominal and all dracos performed well
|
T+00:53:00 | Phase burn is proceeding nominally to raise Dragon's apogee to 10 km lower than the ISS
|
T+00:51:00 | Phasing burn is continuing, crew is finishing doffing their suits and getting ready to eat dinner
|
T+00:47:30 | Second stage has performed its de-orbit burn, and
|
T+00:47:00 | This should last about 10 minutes, raising Dragon's perigee
|
T+00:46:00 | First phasing burn has begun (53.8 m/s)
|
T+00:44:00 | Alpha TCS loop is now back up and alerts are cleared for now...good news!
|
T+00:42:00 | Crew are continuing to doff their suits and minimizing motion while the settling burn takes place for ulleage
|
T+00:38:00 | GO for first burn, still looking to clean up TCS alerts but not a blocker on first phase burn
|
T+00:33:00 | Currently working to clear the thermal loop caution and spike was seen in both loops, but currently expected to clear it.
|
T+00:32:00 | Cabin environment looking good, GO for suit doffing
|
T+00:29:00 | While a minor anomaly in a TCS loop occurred as reported by official sources on the webcast, the mission is proceeding regardless of the issue. We will provide more updates on this when and if they will become available. |
T+00:28:00 | Mission control is assessing the cabin environment to ensure it is safe for the crew to doff their suits
|
T+00:27:00 | Mission control says they are "go" for the first major post-launch thruster burn to begin the Crew Dragon's maneuvers to rendezvous with the International Space Station |
T+00:25:00 | SpaceX mission control says a “pressure spike” in one of the Dragon’s thermal control system loops caused the spacecraft to switch to a backup loop. Engineers believe the prime loop is healthy, but are still studying the issue.
|
T+00:23:00 | Mission control is studying an “alert” associated with the capsule’s thermal control system.
|
T+00:22:00 | SpaceX reports the Dragon’s nose cone has opened normally, and checkouts of the forward Draco thrusters are healthy. |
T+00:20:00 | Let us know your questions to ask NASA at the post launch press conference scheduled for 9 PM ET/02:00 UTC
|
T+00:15:00 | This is u/CAM-Gerlach, taking over and going to be your representative at the press conference!
