And New Glenn has cleared the tower
0:29
As you follow New Glenn's journey along, look to the bottom of your screen. You can see telemetry there, as well as our time clock
0:44
Vehicles now completing the pitch over maneuver. Strakes now level. Autosheaving complete
0:49
Great shot looking back from New Glenn as it soars to the sky
1:04
We're about a minute into flight. Soon the vehicle will reach maximum dynamic pressure, which is the point at which the pressure
1:11
on the vehicle is at its highest. Beautiful shots from New Glenn
1:17
Body rates continue to look nominal. Data quality is good. Coming down from the vehicle. Yeah, starting to come in
1:22
It looks like it's right down the middle of the corridor. 1 minute 20 seconds. Gretches nominal
1:27
Team plus 1 minute 20 seconds. Now passing Mach 1. We can feel the rumble here in the studio
1:36
1 minute 30 seconds in the play. Back to Q. Now passing Max Q maximum dynamic pressure
1:47
We have passed max-q, that means the vehicle is supersonic. You can hear everything's looking good
2:04
Traveling one kilometer a second. I apologize here I repeating a bit of what Patrick saying because it sounds a bit low to us it might sound low to you Two minutes ten seconds in Less than one to you Less than one minute to MECO which is main engine cutoff
2:29
Wow. About to pass two minutes and 30 seconds into flight. Trajectory is good
2:38
30 seconds in. LDL is so count one. 30 seconds to MECO. Go. About 30 seconds to MECO
2:44
No fires and secondary is observed. Other times. Body rates continue to look good throughout boost phase
2:51
A lot of things are going to happen really quickly. We're going to have MECO, main engine cutoff, followed shortly by stage separation and then payload training
2:57
Let's take a look. Two minutes, 55 seconds in. LDGC, no anomalies from the ground systems
3:05
Other times. Standing by for MECO. You hear the tears
3:35
On both BE-3Us. That's Team Blue, you hear, by the way? Everything's looking nominal, GS-2 ignition in full thrust
3:58
We have payload bearing separation. We can hear that everything is nominal We got our long cameras out on the booster
4:42
Team Blue is hype. You can hear me. Yeah, we're hype too. While it is a little low to hear Patrick, Alice, you want to walk through what's about to happen now
4:53
Yeah, so GS1 will hit Apogee very shortly here, or it might already have
5:01
Then once that is confirmed, the booster will begin its descent back to Earth for a beautiful landing on Jacqueline
5:10
The fully reusable booster will start its descent back, as Alice just said, heading towards Jacqueline, which is our landing platform, underway about 375 miles from here
5:20
Then we'll have the atmospheric re-entry and the landing burn. And in about two minutes, three of GS1's engines will relight
5:36
There's a shot of Jacqueline there, past seven minutes into flight. Chamber pressures look good. Body rate control looks good
5:43
Ignition on all three engines on GS1 and pressures and temperatures look good. Again. Again
5:54
GS2 engines continue to look good. We have our Patrick Moore inside mission control
5:58
and we are repeating a bit of what he's saying, just because it's a little difficult to hear
6:12
Awesome. We have the GS1 booster reentry burn complete. And next up, we will see the landing burn
6:23
Vehicle's reoriented itself. Now passing through GS1 descent max Q
6:40
Passing through GS1 descent max-q. Beautiful shot Oh my gosh GS1 there GS1 I seen good activity on fins Eight and a half minutes into flight
6:56
GS2 is now halfway through burn 1. About 30 seconds away from that landing burn
7:03
GS2 as expected. Both engines continue to look good. Sounds like the engines look good
7:10
Coming up on landing burn. on landing burn. And we see three good engines
7:15
on landing burn. Three good engines on landing burn is what I'm hearing from Patrick
7:23
Are they changing GS1? They are. Low-level clouds. Here we go
7:36
Oh, my God. I'm hearing cheers of a touchdown
7:55
I think touchdown is good. We see a lot of clouds of smoke there, but I'm hearing good cheers
8:05
Great road shot there. There we have it. Welcome back once again
8:15
Never tell me the odds. It's good to say that twice, Alice. Oh, my gosh
8:18
It sure is. Look at that shot of GS1 on the landing barge
8:24
Beautiful landing. We love it when it hits right in the middle of that feather. Look at that beautiful shot
8:41
Jack loves to see it. It never gets old. It doesn't. Back home on Earth
8:51
Welcome back. For a second time. Hey guys, looking good
