1 00:00:05,829 --> 00:00:04,070 okay 2 00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:05,839 this is mission control houston welcome 3 00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:08,240 to today's iss update it is wednesday 4 00:00:12,789 --> 00:00:11,120 june 13 2012 and this is a live view 5 00:00:14,629 --> 00:00:12,799 inside the flight control room for the 6 00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:14,639 space station 7 00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:16,160 today this team here is being led by 8 00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:17,840 flight director paul dye who is sitting 9 00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:20,560 there in the middle of the blue shirt 10 00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:21,760 right beside him in the green shirt is 11 00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:23,600 clay anderson he is serving as today's 12 00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:27,830 the crew has been very busy today they 13 00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:31,039 had a slightly off-duty day yesterday 14 00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:33,280 this is a houston flight i just want to 15 00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:35,520 say that it was a good experience the 16 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,719 crew has been 17 00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:38,640 working this morning on a number of 18 00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:41,600 different experiments and 19 00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:48,709 oli kononenko started his day working on 20 00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,719 a russian experiment that studies the 21 00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,399 veins in the lower extremities down in 22 00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:54,960 the astronauts and cosmonauts legs 23 00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:56,879 as we talk about quite a bit on here the 24 00:01:01,670 --> 00:00:59,600 human body is an area of intense focus 25 00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:01,680 for the ground teams and researchers 26 00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:03,120 that try to find out how we react to 27 00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:19,670 the crew specifically kononenko and 28 00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:22,000 andre kuipers and don pettit also 29 00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:23,360 checked out their soyuz that's going to 30 00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:24,640 be bringing them home here in just a 31 00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:27,439 couple of weeks they got in their soyuz 32 00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:29,040 seat liners which are custom made for 33 00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:30,159 each one of them 34 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:32,159 to make sure that they still fit and are 35 00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:34,240 okay to support the landing the human 36 00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:36,000 body actually gets a little bit taller 37 00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,360 in space especially whenever you're up 38 00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,119 there for about six months so each of 39 00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:41,119 the crews checks out their seats and 40 00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:42,399 measures everything and just make sure 41 00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,600 that they're still 42 00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:45,600 good to go to support 43 00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:47,840 the upcoming landing kononenko kuipers 44 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:49,840 and don pettit are going to be landing 45 00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,720 coming up on sunday july 1st around 3 15 46 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:54,159 a.m central time of course we'll have 47 00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:58,240 live coverage here on nasa television 48 00:02:01,990 --> 00:01:59,920 gennady padalka worked inside the 49 00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,000 russian segment on an electromagnetic 50 00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:05,119 experiment called kulonovsky crystal 51 00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,280 the basic examination of this is to look 52 00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:09,599 at the electrostatic interaction between 53 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:11,920 electrically charged particles 54 00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:13,440 so he worked on that and reported those 55 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:15,680 results down to the ground teams 56 00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:18,160 padalka as well as sergey revin also 57 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,520 worked together on an education 58 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:21,520 experiment that looks at the 59 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:24,160 complete gas to liquid phase separation 60 00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:27,040 of fine dispersion particles up there in 61 00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,670 joe acaba also reviewed procedures for 62 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,840 the upcoming test of the amine swingbed 63 00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:35,440 this is a new prototype for the carbon 64 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,599 dioxide removal system that will be used 65 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:39,599 on the orion spacecraft coming up in the 66 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:41,680 future 67 00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:43,200 the point of this is to test out brand 68 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:46,160 new technology on that amine swingbed 69 00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:47,920 that basically makes it more efficient 70 00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,800 and much smaller than what is currently 71 00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:52,400 up on board the international space 72 00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:53,440 station throughout the years these 73 00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:55,120 carbon dioxide removal assemblies have 74 00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:56,959 gotten smaller and 75 00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:00,560 worked a bit better and more efficient 76 00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:03,360 of course orion does not have the space 77 00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:04,800 of the international space station and 78 00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,519 will be going on much longer journeys 79 00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:09,599 so smaller is better and the space 80 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:11,519 station is the perfect place to test out 81 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:12,800 that technology 82 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:15,120 coming up here in the future 83 00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:17,280 the cobb also had a hand pass with saint 84 00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:19,040 anne's primary school near sydney 85 00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:20,080 australia 86 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,599 he talked with some elementary and 87 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:23,280 middle school student students about 88 00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:24,720 life on board the station to find out 89 00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:26,720 what it's like to work on board the 90 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:29,120 orbiting complex and the students ask 91 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,920 him 92 00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,159 what kind of food that the crew eats and 93 00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:34,319 what they do every day 94 00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,840 he also worked on the capillary flow 95 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,760 experiment that looks at how liquids and 96 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:39,360 solids interact 97 00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,560 in zero g 98 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:42,239 that's an ongoing experiment that has 99 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:43,599 been conducted throughout several 100 00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:46,000 expeditions 101 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:47,840 andre kuipers worked on some of the 102 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,239 water on off valves in the columbus 103 00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:51,680 laboratory you're seeing some footage of 104 00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:54,080 that from earlier today 105 00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:56,080 that activity took up the majority of 106 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:57,519 his morning 107 00:04:00,550 --> 00:03:58,879 later on today he's also going to work 108 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,560 on the integrated cardiovascular 109 00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:02,959 ambulatory monitoring experiment which 110 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:04,720 is something that he's done all week 111 00:04:06,589 --> 00:04:05,519 long 112 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:06,599 this takes a look at how the 113 00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:09,760 cardiovascular system reacts to being up 114 00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,280 in space as we talked about the human 115 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,439 body is one of the main experiments on 116 00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:15,840 board 117 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:17,440 so that uh experiment has been 118 00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:18,959 monitoring his blood pressure throughout 119 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:21,759 the week as well as some ekg signals 120 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:23,199 much like you would find in a doctor's 121 00:04:27,909 --> 00:04:25,440 office here on earth 122 00:04:31,030 --> 00:04:27,919 don pettit worked on a rack called the 123 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:31,040 multi-purpose small payload rack 124 00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:33,040 this is exactly what it sounds like it's 125 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:34,560 in the kibo laboratory it has two 126 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,639 different work spaces and one workbench 127 00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:38,400 and can hold all kinds of equipment 128 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,199 supplies and power for the experiments 129 00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:43,600 that take place in that rack 130 00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:45,040 there's also a way for that rack to be 131 00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:47,040 communicated directly with the ground 132 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:48,400 and there's some video equipment on 133 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:50,800 board so the ground teams can monitor 134 00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:52,320 the experiments on board but it's 135 00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:53,919 basically a plug and play rack so 136 00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:56,240 anything that needs to go in there can 137 00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,759 and he was doing some routine 138 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,759 maintenance on the quick disconnects 139 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,120 that are part of the combustion chamber 140 00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:03,039 there 141 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:04,880 and then earlier today the entire crew 142 00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:07,280 which you're hearing a debrief of now 143 00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:09,840 conducted a routine fire drill on board 144 00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:12,080 this happens periodically on board where 145 00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:13,759 they simulate what would happen 146 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,759 if a fire occurred there's three 147 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,360 different main emergencies that the crew 148 00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,680 does train and focus for fire being one 149 00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:20,800 of them 150 00:05:25,430 --> 00:05:22,840 toxicity or some sort of 151 00:05:27,710 --> 00:05:25,440 toxic chemical 152 00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:27,720 release is another one and of course 153 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:30,080 depressurization is the third and final 154 00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:31,919 one so what they do is they 155 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:33,440 reenact what would happen if a fire 156 00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:35,440 actually occurred on board they don 157 00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,919 their masks and their safety devices and 158 00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:40,000 the ground teams work with them and then 159 00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,759 what they do is they have a quick chat 160 00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:43,440 with the ground teams here in houston 161 00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,320 that you're hearing now to talk about
