Lift on the back and the end of dragon up out of the water. They got them climbing around and getting that fixed. Still doing good from all of their reports and were going to see the vessel continue to close in. It is 1. 3 nautical miles still away. You see things sharpen up as it does draw up closer. One thing i didnt get to mention as the sequence was happening, everything was going so quickly, just before the drove deployment, the seats rotated to 25 degrees and if you think of bob and doug while they were still on orbit and during the orbit burn and departure burns, they were laying closer to on their backs and they were essentially looking up at the tap. They were at the top of the nose cone. Now the seats would be rotated and theyre in more upright position and thats done to insure that the load is experienced from landing are doesnt hurt them. So at this point, theyre not laying on their backs in the ocean, theyre seated upright which would allow them to have a better view of th
Super duper smooth. Almost like class, which is certainly ideal for a again, now, were expecting 20 minutes for the for the main recovery vessel to go navigator to reach dragon. By that point the rigging will be fixed and they use at frame lift on the back and the end of dragon up out of the water. They got them climbing around and getting that fixed.

Navigator recovery ship in about 21 minutes. Then in 28 minutes, we will be opening that hatch and beginning crew egress also known as exit. We did hear the rigging is pretty much complete. Right as they arrive there at the castle, the main recovery vessel will get it up out of the water. Now the recovery vessel, go navigator is getting closer to dragon. Dragon position off the coast of pensacola, florida, were able to see it in more detail. It is certainly no longer a a bright shade of light. Like we said the external temperatures were reaching up to 3500 degrees fahrenheit, so the thermal protective system, thermal protection system, enabled dragon to return while keeping the internal temporary temperate. Youre seeing a few more boats than expected. The team is working with a few private vessels in the area making sure that they get out of there. Now we see one of the spacexs moving in. So were being advised that the Recovery Team is radioing out to the vessels in the water near crew
Thank you. There on your screen oh, camera view change, that is a view from go navigator the recovery velocity. The two fast boats out there. Getting to getting ready to basically excuse me. Install the rigging equipment required to hoist dragon out water. One the other fast boat is collecting the hair parachutes from the water. To bring them back on board with us. We should see one of the team members crawl up on to the side of the capsule in order to install that install the rigging like i mentioned. That particular team member is highly experienced and highly trained. As you can imagine. Climb on the ground top of an oddlyshaped thing in, you know, the ocean, could be a little tricky. So this person has undergone a lot hours and hours of training and certification in order to perform this very important task. There on the righthand side of your screen screen we can see the second fast boat approaching. Of course both of these boats needed to wait for their cue from the Water Recover
By that point, all the rigging will be affixed and they will be able to use the hydraulic lift on the back of the vessel to begin to pull dragon out of the water. Bob and doug did report they are seeing the guys climbing around outside their window of the capsule. Still doing good from all of their reports. We are going to see the vessel continued to close in. It is a little over 1. 3 nautical miles away. You can see things starting to sharpen up as the view does draw closer. One thing i did not get to mention is the sequence events was happening, just before the drogue deployment, the seats rotated to about 26 degrees. If you think back to when we saw bob and doug when they were in orbit and during the departure burns, they were closer to on their backs at the 40 degree position where they were looking up at the top of dragging capsule. Their stomachs were facing the top nosecone. At this point, the seats would have rotated. They are in a little more of an upright position. That is do
