00:00Of course the launch abort system, a great shot there of the crew access arm
00:05retracting away. The launch abort system is the tower at the top and that's what
00:11would pull Orion and its crew off the top of the rocket in case of an
00:15emergency, whether it's on the ground or in flight. This is critical safety
00:21hardware that protects the lives of the astronauts. Starting at T minus six
00:37minutes, the GLS will start bringing that and other high-energy systems online,
00:42starting with core stage pressurization.
01:04weather is 90% go, the range is go, all systems are go.
01:16GLS is go for core stage tank pressurization.
01:22That means the replenish valve for the liquid hydrogen tank has now closed and
01:27that tank is beginning to pressurize to flight levels because that hydrogen is
01:32naturally boiling inside the tank. We'll get the liquid oxygen tank a little later
01:40in the count. Now the team is waiting for verification that, if needed, the
01:47Artemis 2 crew could use the launch abort system to pull Orion safely off the top
01:51of the rocket in an emergency. Let's listen in for that call.
01:59GLS verifies last capability available.
02:02And CDR do you copy?
02:05CDR copy is last available.
02:10That's great news and you heard the NTD verify that with the commander of the mission.
02:16GLS is go for FTS arm. Now work is being done to arm the flight termination system. This is so
02:24the
02:24range safety can send a flight termination command if the rocket flies too far off track.
02:31There's a brief built-in delay so the launch abort system has time to pull the astronauts safety first.
02:37LH2 high flow bleed check.
02:41All right, the high flow bleed check.
02:45That's so the cryo team gets verification that the RS-25 engines, all four of them, are in the proper
02:51temperature range for launch.
03:16GLS is go for core stage APU start.
03:19Core stage APU start. Those are auxiliary power units.
03:23high speed turbines which provide pressure to hydraulic pumps that steer the RS-25 engines.
03:29We're going to see a gimbal test a little later at T-minus two minutes and 30 seconds.
03:33This is what allows that to happen.
03:43Coming up in about 20 seconds, we're listening for go for purge sequence four.
03:47That's a helium purge of the four core stage engines downstream of the propellant valve.
03:54This gets all the air and moisture out of there.
04:06GLS is go for purge sequence four.
04:11Moving through the milestones.
04:14All is looking good.
04:20Coming up in just a few seconds we're going to get that thrust vector control actuator test.
04:25This is a gimbling of the engines.
04:35There are the four RS-25s.
04:38Three of them.
04:40Shuttle heritage.
04:41One of them built from shuttle parts.
04:47And there you see them moving.
05:00Now we're going to start moving the power from both the upper stage and the lower stage of the rocket
05:06to internal.
05:07Taking ground power away and now going to battery power.
05:14GLS is go for upper stage to internal power.
05:20All right, power is removed from the rocket's upper stage.
05:24The ICPS and it's been switched to battery.
05:26Same milestone for the lower core stage coming up at T-1 minute and 30 seconds.
05:32Right now, the four person Artemis II crew is 248,000 miles away from the moon.
05:39And if all goes well, they will fly by it in six days.
05:46GLS is go for core stage to internal power.
05:50All right, there's the rocket's core stage, which houses three flight computers, is now on its own power.
06:00There's no more hold time because there's no more margin on these batteries.
06:04So we would have to recycle back to T-10 to recharge if we had a hold.
06:16One minute.
06:18Right now, the rocket does not know what the T-0 is.
06:21But coming up at T minus 33 seconds, control shifts from the ground launch sequencer to the rocket's onboard autonomous
06:27launch sequencer, or ALS.
06:29The rocket will count itself down, but honor any holds that could come from the ground.
06:35Now shortly after liftoff, Houston will take control of the rocket and my colleague Gary Jordan will take over commentary.
06:43GLS is go for ALS.
06:45Great call out.
06:46The rocket is on its own.
06:48Four brave explorers ready to ride the most powerful rocket NASA has ever launched.
06:59Sound suppression water is flowing.
07:03And here we go.
07:0510, 9, 8, 7.
07:09RS-25 engines lit.
07:114, 3, 2, 1.
07:15Booster ignition.
07:17And liftoff.

09:101 minute 50 seconds of mission elapsed time, standing by for main engine throttle down to 85%,
09:15ahead of solid rocket booster separation, expected at the 2 minute 9 second mark.
09:23We see throttle down.
09:30Confirmed separation.
09:33Main engine is throttling up, guidance converged.
09:43Integrity, guidance converged, performance nominal, upper stage RCS ready.
09:50Copy all, stand.
09:56Integrity, SM priming complete.
09:59SM priming complete.
10:032 minutes 45 seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis II mission.
10:07Thrusters on integrity and upper stage confirmed in a ready state, ahead of service module fairing separation.
10:183 minutes into the flight.
10:19Integrity, 49 miles in altitude, 78 miles downrange, now passing 5,000 miles per hour.
10:40Standing by for launch abort system, Jettison.
10:45Houston Integrity, good last Jettison, great view.
10:50Copy, Jettison, Team Eco, 8 plus 0, 2.
10:58We see you sail on board, Stan.
11:01And Houston has you loud and clear on T-Dress at the Carmen line.
11:08Outstanding, Stan, we have you sail.
11:12Three minutes 50 seconds into the flight of Artemis II, Wiseman, Glover, Cook, and Hansen cross the boundary to space
11:18with good comm checks.
11:19GPS signals acquired after last Jettison now working on internal checks to verify accuracy.
11:25Flight dynamics officer analyzed the time of main engine cutoff confirmed at 8 minutes 2 seconds, time of MECO.
11:59Thank you so much for joining us.
12:06Outstanding, Stan, we see the same, and we have a beautiful moon rise.
12:10We're headed right at it.
12:17Approaching five minutes into the flight, Commander Reed Wiseman confirms he has visuals of his destination.
12:22GPS guidance, navigation, and control software finishes internal checks and sends to navigation channels.
12:32Integrity, three engine press.
12:38Three engine press.
12:41On time now, passing five minutes 20 seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis II mission.
12:45At this point, three good main engines are all that's needed to carry Integrity to a nominal main engine cutoff
12:51target.
12:51Though at this time, we're seeing four good engines here in Mission Control Houston.
12:55Integrity, 75 miles in altitude, 330 miles downrange, approaching 10,000 miles per hour.
13:18Integrity, looking good at six minutes.
13:25Same on board, Stan.
13:29Good trajectory and engine performance.
13:32Booster officer will soon report the shutdown plan to Flight Director Judd Freeling expected at the seven-minute mark.
13:40Integrity, 78 miles in altitude, 460 miles downrange.
13:45Integrity, expect nominal shutdown.
13:52Take any copies.
13:53Nominal shutdown.
13:59Six minutes, 40 seconds of mission elapsed time.
14:02Shutdown plan is as expected.
14:04Again, the time of MECA was confirmed at eight minutes, two seconds into the flight.
14:21Seven minutes of mission elapsed time.
14:27Throttling down as we approach the abort once-around option.
14:32Milestone at the seven-minute, 30-second mark.
14:36Now at 84 miles in altitude, 650 miles downrange, traveling more than 15,000 miles per hour.
14:46Integrity, AOA open.
14:51AOA open.
14:54The window is now open for an abort once-around option that would target splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
15:00Still following nominal ascent at this time.
15:13About 10 seconds remaining until the main engine cutoff of the Space Launch System core stage.
15:19Standing by for confirmation of MECO and core stage separation.
15:42Integrity, nominal MECO, core stage separated.
15:50We see the same onboard, Stan.
16:00Eight minutes, 40 seconds into the flight.
16:02We have a nominal main engine cutoff heading in the right trajectory on the way to swing around the moon.
16:08Core stage has separated, done its job.
16:10The Space Launch System upper stage, the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage, or ICPS,
16:15still attached to the Orion spacecraft.
16:21Nine minutes of mission elapsed time.
16:23Integrity crew of Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Henson,
16:27now in orbit around the Earth at the beginning of their journey to the moon.
16:38Integrity, Houston, looking ahead to PRM, numbers so far per the pad.
16:49Copy that, Stan, numbers per the pad.
16:56Capcom, Stan Loves, we're now reminding the crew that the perigee-raise maneuver time of ignition
17:03is as expected prior to booster ignition.
17:09That time being 49 minutes, 50 seconds of mission elapsed time.
17:16Candace will be different.
17:27Copy that, Stan Martinez, and Jeremy Henson, come on in orbit around the moon.
17:33We will learn from Brian sn bethe drew to the new code.
17:33Some people may remember the руco today.
17:33That time being 49 minutes away, positive.
17:33Nice five minutes til you.
17:34It's a very crucial time to put you on both sides of the flash.
17:35Andarios for that you do not make yourself.
17:35So far from 10 seconds to say thank you.

19:57and Jeremy Hansen will start some of the activation of environmental control life support systems.
20:03You may hear confirmation of their activation over the Orion to Earth communication network.
20:15Houston, C3Aux power back in auto.
20:19Copy, C3Aux, and we're two minutes to maneuver.
20:4713 minutes and 30 seconds of mission elapsed time.
20:50We're going to continue to follow the crew of the Artemis II mission.
20:54They are beginning their journey around the moon to verify the systems that will take us to its surface.
21:00An incredible ascent.
21:01Artemis II is underway.
21:03Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen begin their journey to the moon.
21:08Still milestones to come up as we await solar array deploy and the critical burns that will get integrity.
21:13It's a high Earth orbit around the Earth before engines are fired to get us around the moon.
21:19We'll keep tabs on integrity and its crew from here in Mission Control Houston.
21:24But for now, we're going to send it back to you, Megan and Nicole, at the Kennedy Space Center.
21:28Very jealous to hear how the launch experience was over on the Space Coast.
21:33Yeah, Gary, if people are just joining us, welcome back to the Space Coast where we just saw Artemis II
21:39lift off 14 minutes ago.
21:41And wow, what an amazing launch and an emotional one, too, as soon as the rocket lifted off.
21:46Nicole, you had tears in your eyes, I had tears in my eyes, and we had all these people around
21:51us cheering.
21:51It was amazing.
21:52Yeah, the energy was wonderful.
21:53I mean, it was a beautiful launch.
21:55You know, we've got four friends and family members headed to the moon.
21:58It's pretty amazing.
21:59Yeah.
21:59How does that make you feel as someone who, you know, is an astronaut as well, but also, as you
22:03said, friends?
22:03Yeah, so proud of them.
22:06You know, man, we don't have the words in the English language to describe this kind of an event.
22:10And pride, love, so many emotions.
22:13You know, they are truly breaking some barriers.
22:18And hopefully, you know, as Gary just said, they've got a long day ahead of them.
22:22So wishing them well on everything.
22:23But so far, what a beautiful launch to watch.
22:25Yeah, to be returning to the lunar orbit in more than 50 years.
22:29Maybe they go farther from Earth than any other humans before them.
22:33Maybe they see parts of the moon that we've never seen before.
22:37I mean, what a great start to what could be all of these milestones that we break in just a
22:4410-day mission.
22:45Yes, what a way to welcome in the Artemis generation.
22:48Yeah, how do you feel?
22:49I mean, we saw some beautiful shots we were covering of, of course, the rocket.
22:54Of course, the Earth falling away as we continued up, up, up into our ascents.
22:59But also some of those crowd shots where we saw young and old just emotional overcome by this history-making
23:05moment.
23:06Man, we are going back to the moon for all.
23:07And we saw that today.
23:08We saw that in all the crowds.
23:10And yeah, you guys just saw that view, the sunrise or sunset, I guess.
23:13They just made it over the crest of the Earth.
23:15And you could see the sun peeking over.
23:17One of my favorite views from space.
23:18And I can't imagine what they're looking at now.
23:21And I can't wait to see what they're looking at in about five or six days.
23:24Yeah.
23:25And, you know, I know a lot of people are like, you know what, I'm surprised this launched on the
23:30first try.
23:30Because we know, like any little thing, we have to be keeping safety in mind.
23:35And we want to make sure we're ready to go.
23:36But we were ready to go.
23:38And I think it surprised a lot of people.
23:40What a wonderful surprise on this Wednesday evening.
23:42It did.
23:43You know, and it kind of surprised me as well.
23:44But, you know, it's just a testament to the team here that has been working so hard on Artemis.
23:49You know, Artemis 1, we learned a ton of lessons.
23:51We learned a ton from the wet dress for Artemis 2.
23:53We were able to go in, fix those things.
23:55We even had a couple of mishaps today.
23:57Not mishaps, but a couple, you know, anomalies today that the team creatively came up with solutions for.
24:02It's just a testament to the teamwork that gets us to the moon.
