00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,840
Earlier today we went, took you on location
here at the Johnson Space Center to talk

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,210
with Monica Visinsky, a test coordinator
for new a construction of a device.

3
00:00:11,210 --> 00:00:14,870
We will go back out there now to see
some the testing that's taking place.

4
00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:20,060
That device again is the Japanese
Experiment Module ORU Transfer Interface.

5
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:26,610
Yeah, the robotics here demonstrating
how this device will allow the crew

6
00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:31,260
to put an orbital replacement unit
or an ORU through the small airlock

7
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:36,690
in the Japanese Experiment Module so that
Dextre, the station's two-armed robot can change

8
00:00:36,690 --> 00:00:39,830
out the ORUs without a spacewalk required.

9
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:46,900
Some examples of the Orbital Replacement
Units might be a pump or a storage tank,

10
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:50,280
antennae or a battery unit or controller box.

11
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,270
With this new device that is being tested now
here, any failed ORUs can then be brought back

12
00:00:56,270 --> 00:01:00,230
in to the space station for repair
and/or return to the ground.

13
00:01:00,230 --> 00:01:05,100
This is a prime example of some of the
international cooperation that takes place

14
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:06,480
on the International Space Station.

15
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,700
This is a collaboration with the Canadian
Dexter arm as well as the Japanese airlock,

16
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:15,900
and also using now the US part of this.

17
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,560
This device being tested here now.
