Details :
SpaceX will launch the second demonstration mission of its Crew Dragon vehicle as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Transportation Capability Program (CCtCap), carrying two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. Barring unexpected developments, this mission will be the first crewed flight to launch from the United States since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. DM-2 demonstrates the Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon's ability to safely transport crew to the space station and back to Earth and it is the last major milestone for certification of Crew Dragon. Initially, the mission duration was planned to be no longer than two weeks; however, NASA has been considering an extension to as much as six weeks or three months. The astronauts have been undergoing additional training for the possible longer mission.
Also a pretty cool photo taken during the launch

To extract this telemetry more than 2 GigaBytes were analysed and spent more than 5 hours
The entiere Telemetry of the launch has been extracted using SpaceXTelemetry (program that i wrote, not open source now)
SXT reads data frame by frame and it uses the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and sometimes this OCR could give wrong results because it isn't perfect, so some numbers are faked a little, with all the extracted data i started making comparisons and graphs
ISA Calculations (International Standard Altitude) these calculations are valid just in the first 80.000 meters of altitude
Predicted calculations predicted calculations done to the launch ( not everytime they are accurate)
