1 00:00:01,306 --> 00:00:03,696 Good morning from Mission Control Houston and welcome 2 00:00:03,696 --> 00:00:06,046 to today's International Space Station update. 3 00:00:07,106 --> 00:00:13,336 The crew began their day waking up at about midnight Central time today and then moving 4 00:00:13,336 --> 00:00:14,896 into a daily planning conference 5 00:00:14,896 --> 00:00:17,846 where they discussed the day's activities with controllers on the ground. 6 00:00:18,706 --> 00:00:22,726 Commander Dan Burbank is spending much of his day and is actively working right now 7 00:00:23,086 --> 00:00:26,446 on the High Rate Communications System doing some cable routing 8 00:00:26,806 --> 00:00:29,676 and replacing a few wires on board the station. 9 00:00:29,746 --> 00:00:35,676 He will also be doing some camera checks on the BCAT Experiment that he was working on yesterday 10 00:00:36,126 --> 00:00:40,776 and also doing some SOLO, or Sodium Loading, diet logging. 11 00:00:41,426 --> 00:00:47,666 That SOLO experiment looks at the different mechanisms of fluid and salt retention 12 00:00:47,666 --> 00:00:52,886 in the body during space flights and prescribes the astronauts a very strict diet 13 00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:56,076 of either constant or low sodium intakes. 14 00:00:56,636 --> 00:01:00,986 Meanwhile, Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov is doing another biomedical experiment 15 00:01:00,986 --> 00:01:06,826 with the Immuno research project taking some biological samples and then storing them. 16 00:01:06,826 --> 00:01:13,076 He will also be spending a good portion of his day reviewing the preliminary timeline 17 00:01:13,076 --> 00:01:15,706 for his upcoming spacewalk on February 16. 18 00:01:16,146 --> 00:01:21,656 That is a six-hour spacewalk scheduled to attach some debris shields to the Zvezda service module 19 00:01:21,956 --> 00:01:26,006 and then relocate two of the cranes on some of the docking modules. 20 00:01:26,946 --> 00:01:31,806 Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin will also be taking some samples for that Immuno experiment 21 00:01:32,316 --> 00:01:36,626 and then spending much of his day doing some maintenance work inside of the Zvezda 22 00:01:36,626 --> 00:01:41,976 and Zarya modules inspecting the windows on the respective compartments 23 00:01:42,256 --> 00:01:44,996 and also doing some changeouts on some dust collectors. 24 00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:50,376 The final Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko will also be reviewing that timeline 25 00:01:50,376 --> 00:01:54,496 as he will be going out on the spacewalk with Shkaplerov on February 16. 26 00:01:54,896 --> 00:02:01,086 He's also doing some unloading work from the Progress 46 spacecraft that arrived last Friday. 27 00:02:01,256 --> 00:02:06,986 European astronaut Andre Kuipers started his day off doing some body mass measurements using the 28 00:02:06,986 --> 00:02:12,356 SLAMMD, or the Space Linear Acceleration Mass Measurement Device, which is a unique device 29 00:02:12,356 --> 00:02:16,006 on station that uses springs to generate a force against a crew member 30 00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:21,146 and then the resulting acceleration is used to calculate each crew member's mass. 31 00:02:21,806 --> 00:02:25,506 He is also changing out a lens and some batteries on the EarthKam 32 00:02:25,656 --> 00:02:28,816 which is the Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle School Students. 33 00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:32,656 And that is one of the many education projects linking students here 34 00:02:32,656 --> 00:02:34,856 on the ground to the astronauts up in space. 35 00:02:34,986 --> 00:02:41,406 And then our final Expedition 30 crew member Don Pettit is spending his day doing a fairly 36 00:02:41,406 --> 00:02:47,916 interesting and fun experiment called the Lego Bricks experiment which saw a series 37 00:02:47,916 --> 00:02:52,076 of Lego kits flown to the station and then are assembled on orbit and used 38 00:02:52,076 --> 00:02:54,516 to demonstrate various scientific concepts. 39 00:02:55,336 --> 00:02:59,106 Some of these models include different satellites, a space shuttle orbiter
