hi my name is trevor smith i'm a

2
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:08,160
aeronautical tech student at arizona

3
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:09,519
state

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:10,880
i'm also a pilot working on my

5
00:00:14,789 --> 00:00:12,960
instrument rating i had a question about

6
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,799
spatial disorientation and there's a lot

7
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:16,640
of talk

8
00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:18,720
in my pilot training about trusting your

9
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:20,960
instruments and i was wondering how you

10
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:23,920
counteract that being in space

11
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:26,240
and any stories you might have about

12
00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:28,000
being spatially disoriented and how you

13
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:30,000
get over that thanks hope you answer my

14
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:37,430
your question about spatial orientation

15
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:39,200
is actually a very valid question on

16
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:42,559
earth typically you're disoriented in

17
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:45,440
a planar sense but here in space it's

18
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,680
very three-dimensional orbital mechanics

19
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,760
is quite a bit different than uh the way

20
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:51,920
we fly on earth

21
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,680
and just as you do on

22
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:55,680
on earth we do trust our instruments to

23
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,840
get us into orbit once you're in orbit

24
00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,760
you're kind of on your own to adapt

25
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:01,280
certainly here in the space station

26
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:04,400
there is no up or down left or right the

27
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,119
space station is is basically configured

28
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:09,200
like a ship we have a forward we have an

29
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,799
app we have a port we have a starboard

30
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:12,000
and that's what we refer to everything

31
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:13,840
within the space station and we put

32
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:16,320
labels up on the space station that

33
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:18,000
allow us to get to anywhere we want to

34
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,360
get to basically just by following the

35
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:21,439
directions but you got to remember it's

36
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:22,880
very easy for us to be able to work on

37
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:24,880
the ceilings as it is on the deck on

38
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:26,240
working on the port side as well as on

39
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,680
the starboard side so it really doesn't

40
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:29,119
matter where you're at

41
00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:30,880
it's very easy to get disoriented so
