Here to provide all the details are folks that were part of the review today and also have been part of the preparations that led to this moment as an exciting day for everybody for nasa and spacex. Let me introduce the panel, and i will let each one of them give you some words before we take questions. The nasa manager for the commercial crew program here at kennedy. Of the nasa manager International SpaceStation Program in houston. Flightuty manager of Operations Director at johnson. Also joining us is the senior director of human spaceflight programs at spacex. We are glad to have him with us. Also, kurt costello, the nasa iss program chief scientist at Johnson Space center. And last but not least is arlena moses, the launch weather officer for our 45th weather squadron. I know everyone is looking forward to hearing from her as well. With that, i will turn it over to steve and let them take it from there. Thank you. It is great to be here, following the launch readiness today. It has been eight busy few days. Since we talked on tuesday, we have put the falcon nine vehicle through a static fire, an important test for us to check out the rocket, to make sure all the systems on the rocket were functioning as expected. We reviewed all of that date over the last few days, and the rocket looks really good. It was import for us to also do inspections after that. We swapped out a couple of engines on the vehicle and did those inspections, and everything looks really good. We also did a dry dress practice with the crew. The crew suited up, got in their spaces, went out to the launchpad and got installed in the vehicle. It is the first time we have put four people in dragon. That test went really, really well. Overall, in terms of looking at the weather and also looking at recovery of the booster for this flight, we have adjusted the launch date. It 24 hours later. We are targeting a sunday lunch at 7 27 eastern time. That will put docking at monday at 11 00 eastern time. We looked carefully at the weather. The onshore flow looked not so good saturday. Also, we needed to get the drone recovery ship in place to recover the booster for nasa and spacex. This is really important for us. We will use the first stage we are flying on crew one for the a march system that has launch date of march 30. Overall, it will be an exciting flight. U. S. 1 will be the longest spaceflight ever, exceeding what we had on the final skylab mission. It is a First Mission to have four crew in the capsule, which we are excited about, to eb nhance the science at the space station. And it is our first licensed launch by the faa as well. We will continue to watch the weather and the vehicles. We are looking forward to a good launch on sunday. Thank you. Welcome again to todays press brief. These last few days, we have had a number of reviews and operations, and today, as we concluded the launch readiness, i can tell you the International SpaceStation Partnership is ready for this mission. 7 27ng at a launch time of p. M. Eastern time on sunday, giving us a docking late monday evening, approximately 11 00 p. M. Eastern time. Shortly after docking, we will do the standard leak checks and then we will have a welcome ceremony on board. That will be about two and half hours after docking. This week, we have been doing a lot of discussion on orbit today, keeping them up to speed with the preparations. They are excited and ready to have new crewmembers on board. This vehicles also bringing approximately 240 kilograms of pressurized cargo to enhance what we are doing on board the International Space station. With these four crewmembers, adding to the three crew members on board, we will have a total of seven iss crew members. Stay,ill be a longterm and they will return in april of next year. We look forward to having increasing the amount of science and exploration we do for the Artemis Program and future programs. We also, this year, our celebrating 20 years of continuous human presence on board the International Space station. Setng those 20 years, we the standard for international cooperation. But we keep learning. We learn every day. Nasa, with american industry, has developed these commercial vehicles that will allow us to bring more people to lower orbit, to the International Space station, and allow more commercial opportunities. With that, a huge thanks to the commercial crew program, to wecex for getting us where are today. We are excited for launch on sunday. We are looking forward to monday stocking and the Long Duration increment. Docking and to the Long Duration increment. The launch readiness review went very well today. Stepping back and reflecting on demo 2 and the Development Cycle to the operational cycle, just with the journey leading up to this, it was evident there was the overallement on Readiness Level from the team on this vehicle. It was very encouraging. Absolute focus on crew safety and vehicle safety, which both the nasa and spacex teams have done a great job with. We are satisfied with that. This was on the heels of dry dress yesterday that steve mentioned. That went really well. The first opportunity to let the crew suited up and really try out their vehicle for the first time, before launch day, to make sure the fit was right and there were no lastminute type things that needed to be tweaked. That went very well. We are very excited about that. We had an opportunity to meet with the crew this morning and talk with them about their upcoming launch. They were absolutely excited. You can just feel the radiant excitement coming off of them. When i walked out of the briefing, i was excited myself. You could just feel the energy from the crew. We see that throughout the team, which is great, because it means we are real close and ready to go, which is very important. The message that they wanted to convey was resilience, and to echo once again the journey to get here is one of resilience. And it was a hard journey with a lot of stuff going on, covid affecting the teams, but it was that resilience and determination by a lot of folks that led up to this point. We will safely get them into orbit and we will safely get them docked, performing six months of science, and returning back to earth safely as well. Again, a lot of folks involved with that. And just an appreciation for that hard work that has got us to this point. With that, i will turn it over look forward to questions later. Thank you very much. First of all, sitting here, i am excited, again, to be here. To think this is our third time we had the opportunity to come and launch here from Kennedy Space center. We did our inflight test at the beginning of this year. We did our demo 2 mission, and now we are coming up here with crew1, our first Operational Mission to provide crude services to the station. To keep to provide crewed services to the station. You saw the montage of all the missions. Past crewed it is so cool and an honor to get to be here. I am stoked. On behalf of all the spacex employees, our vendors, partners, all of our families, i want to take this opportunity to say thank you to nasa into all of our partners, to let us be part of this and to help carry this sacred honor and responsibility on our shoulders. This is the culmination of years of work and effort from a lot of people and a lot of time. And we have built what i would call is the safest launch and spacecraft launch vehicles ever. We, dave our efforts in that with our static fire wednesday. I think we have a video to show for that. That was a full seven second duration static fire. The teams look at all the data coming out of the static fire. We did joint reviews with the nasa teams and our teams, and it looked rate. We assessed everything that came from the vehicle and feel very good about it. We did some work on the engines and other aspects of the vehicle. As we were getting ready for the launch. Key. Hat static fire is and those seven seconds look awesome. Next thing i want to show is a picture from dry dress, the dress rehearsal with the crew. They do the whole thing, where they get suited up at the building. They come across in their teslas and go up the tower and get all the way into dragon. It is a very important process we do, where we walk through all of that with our teams, the ground teams, the crew themselves, make sure everything checks out made when i look at this picture, again, i get very excited to think about this next step on this big journey we have ahead of us. We have four astronauts who will be going up. One person who has never been to space, victor, who is very excited. Our firstichi, international partner, who will be joining us, which will be really, really cool. Talk a bit about what will happen on launch day itself, as i talk about dry dress as a practice for that. Four hours before launch day, the crew will be getting suited up. Our suit techs will be helping them get ready. We will do various leak and fit checks. Three hours before launch, they will get into the teslas, waved goodbye to their families in all their friends who are there, and come across to the launch pad. They will go up the tower, lacrosse the arm, and about two and half hours before launch, they will enter the vehicle. They will get inside the vehicle. They will get all strapped in and safe. Approximately about 45 minutes before launch is when we will do the final go poll for loading the vehicle and for arming the escape system could we have a launch escape system on dragon that is ready to go, just in case. If something goes wrong with the launch vehicle, dragon can get the crew to safety in the ocean. At that point, about 30 minutes before launch, is when we start loading the launch vehicle with propellants. And we are off. To our linet drawing we have. This gives you a sense of what it looks like and we are actually doing launch. I will not go through all the details, but some of the highlights here come about two minutes and 40 seconds, we have our first and second stage separation. After that happens, the first stage will land on the drone ship, which is heading out right now to be in position to be ready for that. The second stage, we will and the second stage will continue to carry dragon into orbit. About eight minutes and 50 outnds, the engine will cut and then dragon will separate, and they are off on their bernie to the station. In the next line drawing, we get eight cents of what it looks like. Phrasing is this process where we are catching up with the space station. The space station is zooming around the earth very fast. So is dragon. You are kind of using this game where you are using gravity and the behavior of orbital mechanics as well as minimizing the fuel to get the vehicles to catch up. Based on the orbital mechanics, the time on the day of launch, this particular phasing time will take about 25 hours. Then we will be close to where we need to be to be in position to come up to the station, and a few hours after that, we will have docked to the space station. I will talk about what happens once they dock. Andcrew docks on station, obviously, they will come through and be welcomed by the other crew up there and start to get to work very quickly. Two things that involve spacex that will be involved is one coming up in a few weeks, we 2ve our first cargo dragon vehicle. And that is full of science for the crew1 crewed to be working on for the first few weeks after they docked, they will be getting ready for that, they will be wrapping up other work, and preparing. They will be spending a lot of time working on the Critical Science going on there. And then near the end of their time, of the six months or so, we will be sending up another dragon, so the crew2 dragon will go up, with another four astronauts on board, and that will go up to station. There will be a handoff, and about a week later, our crew1 crew will come home. So lets take a look at what that will look like in a line drawing. You see here we do another departure, docketing both both the docking and undocking is fully autonomy did automated. Are watchingd iss closely having that is happening. Want to make sure everything is happening correctly. As we move away from station, we get into position to actually come home, the same process. We need to phase to make sure we hit the right spot on the earth at the right time for eight splashdown. After that happens, our recovery crews will come out, and they will be meeting the crew. Vessel,a large recovery a couple of fast boats, who will go out and meet the crew. The first thing they will do is check the area, make sure everything is safe for approach. Check for will parachutes. Then we will go ahead with our larger vehicle, which will pool dragon out of the water pull dragon out of the water. To of the things i want mention, as we talk about this recovery process, we know everybody is very excited about launch and very excited about recovery and human spaceflight in general we ask everyone involved, if you come out to watch the launch or any of the different operations we are doing, to please wear the mask and do all those social distancing guidelines. And during recovery, we ask all of the boaters pay good attention to what the navy and coast guard regulations are and what their advisories will. It is very important we keep all of our recovery crews safe. I want to take one more moment to do a couple of important things. One, i want to thank all of the spacexers and their families and all our different teams and partners who have been involved in this effort to get as here. It is a very big team. Part of certification, as we have gone through and talked about the other day, that nasa certified our systems for human space flight, that to the vocation means a lot. It represents the countless hours and hours of work put in by all of these teams. It is dragon, falcon, the ground teams, the launch site teams, the factories it is all of our hardware and software operators, everybody. In,of them put their time sacrificing the time and dedication needed. The same is true for all of our vendors and partners. Finally, a very important special thank you to the astronauts will be flying, victor, mike, shannon, and soichi. Thank you on behalf of all of us. Now we will talk about the science and the reason these guys are actually going up there. Thank you. As joel mentioned, it was less than two weeks ago that we were celebrating 20 years of ontinuous crewed presence orbitz. We were not celebrating and ending but really just the end of the beginning. The launch coming up, with additional crew members to the iss, is the start of a new era for research and discovery on board. The capabilities of the crewed dragon, bringing additional crew and samples back to the site are an amazing capability. We hope to double the amount of crew time going into science and research. We will have easier access for those examples when they come back to earth. And we will have easier access to our crew members both preand post flight, to conduct some of our Human Research. We do have several investigations going up on this flight. We have about 28 kilograms of payloads going up. Some of those experiments will be going up for soichi, to include education and Public Outreach experiments for him. Then we have a student experiment called genes in space7, which will be looking at the humble fruit fly and how it adapts on orbit to changes in circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is our sensitivity to the day and night cycle here on earth, and if you can imagine, on orbit, when you cycles everyight day, it can be a bit confusing to the body. Fruit flies are great, model organisms. They help us understand what is going on in the human body, because they share about 75 of the genes that cause disease in the human body. So we will be looking at those. Last but not least, our astronauts are members of our Human Research team. They will conduct a number of experiments on themselves, both before, during, and after the mission. One of those is food physiology, looking at whether nutritional changes in the astronauts diet can be beneficial for preventing spaceflight impairment we typically see in orbit. Again, for mike, victor, soichi , and especially my old alum from rice shannon, godspeed and thank you so much for the amount of hard work and research you will be putting in. Kyle thanks, kirt. Now the topic everyone likes to talk about is the weather, so lets turn it over to arlena and have her give us the launch weather forecast. Arlena in florida, we have been plagued by Tropical Storm eta for most of the upcoming weekend. It was a little uncertain at first if this would clear out, but then fully, eta is well out to sea and moving further with time, and with its passage, going through a bit of a cold front in florida i know it is not really feel like that right now. But overall, it will give us a pretty good shot for weather for our primary launch day. A fleet take a look here at the forecast, we are looking right at a no go weather probability of 40 with the weak front that came through a couple days ago. Backll kind of creeped towards us can creep back towards us. We are going to see a few showers in the area with some cumulus clouds. Flyingth the concern for both the rocket and the dragon capsule through any precipitation, any of those showers that may be out there during the launch time. If we take a look at our backup window, going into wednesday a couple days later, we dry out quite a bit. A nice area of High Pressure could we get a troop a nice area of High Pressure. We get a true florida cold front. Our rain chances dropped quite a bit. We only have concern for a few clouds. The downside is, however, the wind will be coming from the little stronger on that particular day, but that is something that we will be monitoring with the weather. So good luck, everybody. We will be doing our part with the weather to make sure we launch successfully. Kyle great. Thanks a lot. We are ready for questions. There is a lot of people in the queue, as you can imagine. We have about half an hour or so for question and answer. I will call on you by name and affiliation. And if you can, try to limit your question 21, like one part question try to limit your question to one, like one part question. First up is marsha dunn, associated press. Yes, hi. For steve, what is nasas latest allowed of elon being in, with his test negative,
