7
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:15,870
over the shoulders of flight controllers

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:18,270
as they watch over the systems aboard

9
00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:22,410
the International Space Station the team

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:24,449
of flight controllers currently on duty

11
00:00:31,569 --> 00:00:27,810
since early Monday morning is led today

12
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:31,579

63
00:03:09,130 --> 00:03:06,140
three crew members there's quite a bit

64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:09,140
of conversations going on focusing on a

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:10,850
number of activities the Russian

66
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:12,730
cosmonauts have completed all of the

Tuesday morning central time that 43

75
00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:39,799
progress vehicle will loiter in orbit

76
00:03:44,289 --> 00:03:42,260
for some engineering evaluations by the

77
00:03:47,370 --> 00:03:44,299
Russian flight control teams before it's

78
00:03:50,770 --> 00:03:47,380
targeted and controlled deorbit burn and

79
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:50,780
say free entry into the atmosphere to

80
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:53,930

of the robot

92
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:28,949
robot robot aboard the International

93
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:30,449
Space Station a very exciting

94
00:04:36,260 --> 00:04:33,810
opportunity to begin operations with

95
00:04:38,719 --> 00:04:36,270
that Robonaut testing its electrical

96
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:38,729
systems throughout the early part of

97
00:04:45,230 --> 00:04:42,289
today so the crew quite busy throughout

98
