00:0015 minutes into the burn's duration.

00:03That burn expected to last 17 and a half minutes total.

00:06So we should be hearing confirmation of burn complete pretty soon.

00:11We have those display screens.

00:12Dragon, SpaceX, de-orbit burn complete and performance nominal.

00:15Trunk separation sequence initiated.

00:19Parachutes deploying.

00:21And there you're seeing a live look from the recovery team,

00:26a helicopter that has a camera tracking the spacecraft during its re-entry.

00:33We do have confirmation that the drogue deploy is underway.

00:47There are those two drogue sheets.

00:48Visual and two healthy drogues.

00:50It continues slowing the spacecraft down to about 16 miles per hour at the time of splashdown.

00:56There's the main chutes deployed.

01:02They're going to open up here shortly.

01:09Now about 500 meters away from the surface of the water.

01:15And slowed down to about 35 kilometers per hour.

01:19Again, it'll continue to slow down.

01:20SpaceX Dragon, 400 meters.

01:22SpaceX Dragon, 400 meters.

01:24Brace for splashdown.

01:28SpaceX copies 400 meters and crew are braced for splashdown.

01:31And we just saw an incredible view there of the Dragon as it re-entered.

01:36Which is why we don't have that visual confirmation yet,

01:40but we do have that verbal confirmation between the crew and the Corps

01:44that they have successfully splashed down.

01:47And there is that live look of Dragon endurance

01:51as it sits on top of the ocean off the coast of San Diego, California.

01:55Dragon SpaceX.

01:56To place itself on a trajectory towards San Diego, California.

02:00Dragon successfully re-entered the Earth's atmosphere,

02:03followed by deployment of its parachutes to slow the spacecraft down to a gentle splashdown.

02:08You mentioned the cloud cover a little bit,

02:10but overall, how have the landing conditions been from your perspective?

02:1346 days aboard the International Space Station.

02:16And I think this crew is going to be more than thrilled

02:19with this fun re-introduction to the planet.

02:21We're going to have to...

02:25And you can see that view there.

02:30Clayne and Nicole Ayers alongside JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi

02:34and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov

02:37safely splashed down the coast of San Diego, California.

02:41Following splashdown of the Dragon endurance

02:44and the Crew-10 astronauts currently aboard.

03:02And so right before that translation took place,

03:05a couple of the recovery team members

03:08did do some final safety checks of the spacecraft

03:11to ensure that it was safe and ready to go for additional people.

03:20So that hatch on the Dragon endurance spacecraft is now open

03:23and teams are working to get Crew-10 out and back on Earth.

03:28Again, they will be initially checked.

03:30And the first crew member has now successfully egressed or exited the capsule.

03:50And that is NASA astronaut Anne McLean.

03:54She looks very excited.

03:56And the second crew member has successfully egressed the capsule,

04:09and that is NASA astronaut Nicole Ayers.

04:12And we do now see JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi has exited the spacecraft.

04:25And this was also the second...

04:27And there you have Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov waving.

04:33He takes his final or initial steps on Earth.

04:39And he will now be taken back to some additional...

04:44大家 shipping 컬러 ship,

04:57and there you go back to색 where you can buy them.

04:59See you next time.
