You
00:12
Soft capture confirmed
00:15
and
00:17
Contact confirm dragon made contact with the International Space Station at 11 28 p.m
00:23
Pacific while flying central over the North Atlantic Ocean just east of Newfoundland
00:30
And now you are seeing a live view inside the Dragon Endeavour spacecraft.
00:39
You can see the SpaceX suits that the Crew-8 crew members were wearing for the docking
00:46
operations as well as for launch on Sunday, March 3rd.
00:53
Crew-8 is currently standing by and they will be ingressing into the International Space
00:57
Station just a short time from now.
01:06
And there we can see Crew-8 being joyfully welcomed aboard the International Space Station.
01:21
First aboard was NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick.
01:24
Followed behind him, NASA astronaut Michael Barrett and NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps.
01:31
And pulling up the end, we have Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grubinken.
01:50
The Crew-8 astronauts now officially a part of Expedition 70 and the other Expedition
01:57
70 crew members giving them hugs and handshakes as they make their way onto the International
02:03
Space Station, which will be their home for the next six months as they conduct important
02:08
science and research.
02:21
Station, this is Houston on Space to Ground 2.
02:23
Are you ready for the event?
02:24
All right, let's roll.
02:25
All right, stand by.
02:26
Stand by.
02:27
Hey, Andy, sorry about that.
02:52
Can you give us a little count on the microphone?
02:54
We weren't getting the audio down here.
03:14
Check.
03:18
Okay, just another quick count.
03:24
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
03:38
All right, 11, 12, 13, we're ready to roll.
03:46
Excellent.
03:47
A big warm welcome to Crew-8 from all of us up here.
03:52
Wouldn't you know it, after having made fun of Crew-8 for being or for launching late,
03:57
they arrive early to the Space Station and have us scrambling this morning.
04:01
But it's absolutely fantastic to see their smiling faces.
04:06
Welcome to space, Matt, Jeanette and Alex, and welcome back to space to Mike.
04:15
This is also for Crew-7, a slightly bittersweet moment because with their arrival, it also
04:21
starts the countdown to our own departure and return to Earth in about a week's time.
04:27
But it's great to see Crew-8.
04:30
Welcome.
04:31
You guys are going to have a fantastic mission, I'm sure of it.
04:34
And we look forward to spending the next week in space with you and for Laurel, Alec and
04:44
Nikolai, there you are, a few more weeks.
04:47
But welcome to you, and I'll pass the mic to you, Matt.
04:53
Thank you so much.
04:54
We are, of course, super excited to be here.
04:56
And after we saw you call us out yesterday, we phoned a few friends to expedite things
05:00
to kind of throw you off guard on purpose, or so we hope or wished.
05:04
Anyway, we're so excited to be here.
05:06
A big thank you to everyone who helped put this together, such a giant team around the
05:10
world, and we're excited to be on board and ready to take over the watch.
05:15
Over to you, Mike.
05:17
Well, first thing, it's just great to be back.
05:19
There's such a sense of familiarity and homeness to the station.
05:23
And I can't wait to get back to work.
05:25
But just a big shout out to all the folks who got us up here to NASA, our friends at
05:29
SpaceX for building a great little spaceship and a little taste of the flexibility this
05:33
morning that we'll be expecting over the next six months.
05:36
I know that our flight's going to go by in a blink of an eye and really anxious to start.
05:40
Thanks for the very warm welcome from Crew-7.
05:43
I second everything that Matt and Mike have said.
05:49
And I just want to thank my family as well for being patient with me.
05:53
And I made it here.
05:55
Awesome.
06:18
Well, once again, welcome to the National Space Station.
06:21
This is an incredible place.
06:23
You will have a great time up here just like we did.
06:26
We are doing so much exciting science at the moment.
06:30
And we look forward to introducing you to all of it.
06:33
So once again, welcome, Crew-8.
06:40
All right.
06:41
Thanks, station.
06:42
For all of that, I can tell you on behalf of us that are left here on the planet, we
06:46
are incredibly proud to be part of this.
06:48
And we're all smiling down here.
06:50
All right, station.
06:51
And we are now resuming operational communications.
07:08
And there you have it.
07:10
Crew-8 is officially on board the International Space Station and welcomed by the Expedition
07:14
70 crew, bringing the current space station population to 11 for the next few days.
07:20
Crew-8 began their journey to the orbiting laboratory following a liftoff at 9.53 p.m.
07:25
Central, 10.53 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, March 3, from launch pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space
07:31
Center in Florida atop a Falcon 9 rocket.
07:34
Following orbital insertion, the Dragon vehicle carrying Crew-8 completed a series of automatic
07:39
maneuvers to guide the spacecraft to the forward-facing port of the station's Harmony module.
07:44
Dragon Endeavour and its four-person crew of NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael
07:48
Barrett, and Jeanette Epps and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grubinken talked to the International
07:53
Space Station at 1.28 a.m. Central, 2.28 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, March 5, as the space
07:59
station and Dragon were traveling over the North Atlantic just east of Newfoundland.
