1 00:00:03,050 --> 00:00:07,870 Well good morning and welcome to today's International Space Station update hour here 2 00:00:07,870 --> 00:00:11,050 from the flight control room in Houston, Texas. 3 00:00:11,050 --> 00:00:14,930 Getting a look now inside as ground personnel monitor systems 4 00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:17,230 on board the orbiting laboratory. 5 00:00:17,230 --> 00:00:21,800 Currently on console the Orbit 2 team, and they're being led today 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,890 by flight director Ron Spencer there on the right side of your screen, 7 00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:31,510 and joining them at the Capcom console is veteran astronaut Shannon Lucid. 8 00:00:31,510 --> 00:00:35,240 She is serving as the communication link between controllers here 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,260 on the ground and astronauts up in space. 10 00:00:38,260 --> 00:00:44,870 And those astronauts currently onboard the station are the crew of Expedition 30 led 11 00:00:44,870 --> 00:00:51,200 by NASA astronaut and Commander Dan Burbank, there in the front left of your screen. 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:57,370 Behind him are Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin. 13 00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:01,540 And then rounding out the crew on the right side are European Space Agency astronaut Andre 14 00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:08,490 Kuipers, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko and NASA astronaut Don Pettit. 15 00:01:08,490 --> 00:01:14,290 Crew very busy today with a variety of experiment work and engaged 16 00:01:14,290 --> 00:01:18,520 in some maintenance activities with the systems onboard the station. 17 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,020 Commander Burbank is spending the vast majority 18 00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:24,680 of his day today doing some fluid sampling collection 19 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,060 on the Internal Thermal Control Systems in a few of the US segment, 20 00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:35,590 including the Columbus laboratory as well as the Japanese exposed module. 21 00:01:37,220 --> 00:01:42,830 Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov is hard at work on a Progress TORU drill, 22 00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:47,690 which is an anticipation of the upcoming 46 Progress docking. 23 00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:51,750 TORU is the manual control system that serves the backup 24 00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:58,040 to the Progress' automated Kurs system when it is in its final docking stages. 25 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,510 He will also be participating in a public affairs event 26 00:02:01,510 --> 00:02:07,170 with Russian stations doing TV greeting and joining him will be Anatoly Ivanishin 27 00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:12,520 and Oleg Kononenko, the three Russian cosmonauts currently onboard. 28 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,130 Then of those three Anatoly Ivanishin started his day off doing some work with the Matryoshka 29 00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:23,520 which is a Russian experiment that works, that works to look at radiation effects 30 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,850 on the human body while in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station. 31 00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:34,680 He also did some coolant maintenance work today as well as doing some pretty extensive audits 32 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,290 of the inventory in both the Zvezda and Zarya modules 33 00:02:39,290 --> 00:02:43,190 as a Progress vehicle recently departed just yesterday 34 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:49,240 and the upcoming one requires some pretty serious looking over. 35 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,650 Oleg Kononenko started his day off with a physical experiment called SPRUT-2. 36 00:02:54,650 --> 00:03:00,010 That is a Russian experiment that takes body mass measurements 37 00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:06,040 and then has Kononenko do a quick run and then take further measurements afterwards. 38 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:11,940 He is joining Shkaplerov in that TORU drill as well as that public affairs event. 39 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,590 European astronaut Andre Kuipers spent much of his day doing some set up and testing 40 00:03:17,590 --> 00:03:22,030 of the Urine Monitoring System which works within the Waste and Hygiene Compartment. 41 00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:30,660 And then aside from that he was doing some battery charging of the EMUs in advance 42 00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:38,270 of an upcoming the spacewalk February 16 that will be done by some of the Russian crewmates. 43 00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:42,510 He was charging up some batteries for their pistol grip tools. 44 00:03:42,510 --> 00:03:46,060 Final member of Expedition 30, Don Pettit, 45 00:03:46,060 --> 00:03:51,160 did some work on the Integrated Cardiovascular monitoring system, setting that up. 46 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,460 And that's looking at the heart muscle and any atrophy that occurs. 47 00:03:54,460 --> 00:03:58,520 He will also be doing a safety video tour of the station 48 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,430 which is required once every increment, so once every expedition. 49 00:04:03,430 --> 00:04:07,290 And that is for the benefit of controllers here on the ground. 50 00:04:07,290 --> 00:04:12,380 And then as mentioned yesterday a Progress vehicle, 45P, 51 00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:19,530 undocked at about 4:10 p.m. central time, taking with it much of the trash onboard the station. 52 00:04:19,530 --> 00:04:22,980 That will eventually deorbit and burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. 53 00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:27,660 This is an anticipation of the 46 Progress launch which is scheduled 54 00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:33,860 to take place tomorrow, Wednesday, January 25 at 5:06 p.m. central time 55 00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:36,710 with the eventual docking on Friday.
