pettit today wednesday focuses on

76
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,440
medical experiments and in-flight

77
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,360
maintenance activities associated with

78
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,680
routine hardware and other equipment

79
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,879
that is part of the elaborate

80
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:18,560
environmental control and life support

81
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:21,360
system on board the station

82
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:24,000
kuipers focuses today on human research

83
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,319
support equipment including the

84
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,799
tissue equivalent proportional counter

85
00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:30,799
relocating the maintenance work area of

86
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:32,480
the station and installation of a

87
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,120
support cable for the cell biology

88
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:37,120
experiment facility

89
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:38,720
the three russian cosmonauts have

90
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:40,640
conducted routine maintenance checks in

91
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,959
the russian segment of the station today

92
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:44,799
and they've evaluated their orthostatic

93
00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:47,040
stability utilizing the lower body

94
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:50,000
negative pressure device they've also

95
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:51,519
spent some time reconfiguring the

96
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:54,159
communication system in the mini

97
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:57,360
research module one known as rossviet or

98
00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:00,159
the which is the russian word for dawn

99
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:03,360

100
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:05,599
a busy wednesday aboard the

101
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,040
international space station for the

102
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,920

they again will

109
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:28,160
talk to their flight control team later

110
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,840
this afternoon to wrap up all the

111
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:31,280
