1 00:00:01,186 --> 00:00:01,666 Good morning. 2 00:00:01,666 --> 00:00:03,026 This is Mission Control Houston. 3 00:00:03,196 --> 00:00:07,156 Thank you for joining us for today's ISS Update this Thursday, November 17. 4 00:00:08,416 --> 00:00:12,086 Aboard the orbiting complex the Expedition 29 crew expanded 5 00:00:12,136 --> 00:00:14,156 from three crew members to six crew members. 6 00:00:14,586 --> 00:00:18,506 NASA astronaut Dan Burbank and Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov 7 00:00:18,576 --> 00:00:22,876 and Anatoly Ivanishin docked their Soyuz TMA-22 spacecraft 8 00:00:22,876 --> 00:00:25,706 to the Poisk mini-research module late Tuesday night. 9 00:00:26,256 --> 00:00:30,126 Station Commander Mike Fossum and Flight Engineers Satoshi Furukawa 10 00:00:30,126 --> 00:00:33,266 and Sergei Volkov welcomed their new crewmates 11 00:00:33,266 --> 00:00:35,816 after opening the hatches early yesterday morning. 12 00:00:37,196 --> 00:00:40,256 After a welcoming ceremony with mission officials 13 00:00:40,256 --> 00:00:44,646 and family members the station residents conducted the standard crew safety briefing. 14 00:00:45,026 --> 00:00:48,826 The new crew members have familiarized themselves with the potential hazards, 15 00:00:48,826 --> 00:00:51,896 safety euipment locations and escape routes. 16 00:00:52,146 --> 00:00:55,076 The newly arrived trio has now begun its fourth day in space 17 00:00:55,496 --> 00:00:58,166 and second day aboard the International Space Station. 18 00:00:59,566 --> 00:01:04,156 While the new arrivals settle into their new home, Fossum, Furukawa and Volkov are 19 00:01:04,156 --> 00:01:07,586 in their final stretch aboard the orbiting complex before their departure 20 00:01:07,586 --> 00:01:11,196 in the Soyuz TMA-02M spacecraft next week. 21 00:01:11,766 --> 00:01:16,416 Fossum, Furukawa and Volkov launched to the orbiting complex aboard their Soyuz spacecraft 22 00:01:16,416 --> 00:01:20,456 as the Expedition 28 crew this summer on June 7. 23 00:01:20,796 --> 00:01:24,926 Today they will complete their 163rd consecutive day in space. 24 00:01:26,536 --> 00:01:31,836 Fossum, Furukawa and Volkov will undock from the Rassvet mini-research module and land 25 00:01:31,836 --> 00:01:36,346 in Kazakhstan on November 21 at 8:21 p.m. Central time. 26 00:01:36,766 --> 00:01:39,916 Their undocking will start the Expedition 30. 27 00:01:41,246 --> 00:01:44,436 After adjusting sleep schedules for the arrival of the new Soyuz 28 00:01:44,436 --> 00:01:48,486 and crew members the crew began its first regular schedule as a six member crew today 29 00:01:48,526 --> 00:01:50,746 with a wake up at 1 a.m. Central time. 30 00:01:51,296 --> 00:01:55,696 A couple of hours after wake up the Expedition crew participated in the first 31 00:01:55,696 --> 00:01:59,276 of two daily planning conferences with ground controllers at Mission Control Centers 32 00:01:59,566 --> 00:02:03,666 around the world to review the day's activities and plan for the next set of tasks. 33 00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:08,136 Commander Mike Fossum and Flight Engineer Satoshi Furukawa will perform an hour 34 00:02:08,136 --> 00:02:11,056 of their two-hour scheduled daily exercise. 35 00:02:11,356 --> 00:02:16,006 Fossum will be performing strength training with the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device 36 00:02:16,696 --> 00:02:20,716 after deconfiguring a joint orbital communications adapter router 37 00:02:20,716 --> 00:02:23,296 to stow away as a spare onboard the station. 38 00:02:23,856 --> 00:02:26,886 Furukawa will workout using the onboard treadmill. 39 00:02:27,466 --> 00:02:32,356 Flight Engineer Sergei Volkov will participate in a private medical conference 40 00:02:32,356 --> 00:02:34,016 and exercise at the bottom of the hour. 41 00:02:35,866 --> 00:02:39,456 Meanwhile, the new Expedition 29 crewmates Dan Burbank 42 00:02:39,666 --> 00:02:44,246 and Anton Shkaplerov will familiarize themselves with the exercise equipment onboard. 43 00:02:44,646 --> 00:02:49,306 The on-orbit gym is equipped with a stationary bicycle, a treadmill 44 00:02:49,356 --> 00:02:53,326 and the advanced exercise device that simulates weight lifting here on Earth. 45 00:02:54,596 --> 00:02:57,136 Also, Anatoly Ivanishin will be tending 46 00:02:57,136 --> 00:03:00,806 to a Russian cell cultivation experiment known as Cascade. 47 00:03:01,516 --> 00:03:05,976 Earlier this morning, Commander Fossum led a crew handover review with his crewmates. 48 00:03:05,976 --> 00:03:09,476 As part of its handover, the crew reviewed emergency roles 49 00:03:09,476 --> 00:03:12,246 and responsibilities aboard the International Space Station. 50 00:03:12,946 --> 00:03:17,656 Fossum then changed out a tank of the onboard Water Recovery System and also checked 51 00:03:17,656 --> 00:03:22,496 on a couple of science experiments of the Commercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus 52 00:03:22,496 --> 00:03:24,826 and also the Binary Colloidal Alloy Test. 53 00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:29,346 Before today's update hour Fossum tended to the Combustion Integrated Rack, 54 00:03:29,696 --> 00:03:32,176 a facility that houses hardware capable 55 00:03:32,176 --> 00:03:35,426 of performing combustion experiments there in microgravity. 56 00:03:36,106 --> 00:03:43,026 Flight Engineer Dan Burbank, shown here in this view, performed his first Reaction self-test 57 00:03:43,066 --> 00:03:45,826 that measures fatigue resulting from the disruption 58 00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:49,036 of the circadian rhythm while living and working in space. 59 00:03:49,746 --> 00:03:53,406 He had also participated in his first private medical conference 60 00:03:53,406 --> 00:03:56,706 and an Inventory Management System and stowage conference there 61 00:03:56,706 --> 00:04:01,576 with Mike Fossum who is also shown in this view. 62 00:04:01,666 --> 00:04:03,736 Flight Engineer Sergei Volkov documented 63 00:04:03,736 --> 00:04:09,746 with photos an ongoing Russian science experiment known as Bioemulsion that aims 64 00:04:09,746 --> 00:04:13,956 to provide efficient, ecologically safe production of bacterial, 65 00:04:13,956 --> 00:04:16,756 fermental and medicinal preparations. 66 00:04:17,236 --> 00:04:21,796 He also had relocated hardware that was used earlier in another science experiment 67 00:04:21,796 --> 00:04:25,426 that was known as Plasmida that examines the microgravity effect 68 00:04:25,426 --> 00:04:28,266 on the rate of transfer on Plasmid DNA. 69 00:04:29,826 --> 00:04:34,246 Volkov also tended to the cell cultivation experiment, as well as an experiment 70 00:04:34,246 --> 00:04:36,226 that looks at the growth of wheat in space. 71 00:04:38,696 --> 00:04:43,326 Meanwhile, Burbank, Shkaplerov and Ivanishin studied the emergency roles and responsibilities 72 00:04:43,386 --> 00:04:46,086 of the International Space Station and spent some time adjusting 73 00:04:46,086 --> 00:04:47,546 to their new environment in space. 74 00:04:50,126 --> 00:04:53,276 While the three new crew members will continue to settle in their new home, 75 00:04:53,606 --> 00:04:57,206 work with their station veteran crewmates in additional handovers and adjust 76 00:04:57,256 --> 00:04:59,406 to their microgravity living space.
