1
00:00:01,470 --> 00:00:03,190
This is Mission Control Houston.

2
00:00:03,190 --> 00:00:05,900
Very heavy traffic
much in evidence again

3
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:07,890
at the International
Space Station.

4
00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:11,730
The crew members aboard moved
on from the final undocking

5
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:15,590
of Russian cargo ship on Monday
afternoon to getting ready

6
00:00:15,590 --> 00:00:17,460
for the arrival of
its replacement.

7
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:19,680
That's coming up on Wednesday.

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,980
Commander Gennady Padalka

9
00:00:20,980 --> 00:00:23,600
and Flight Engineer Yuri
Malenchenko spent the morning

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,750
training with the TORU.

11
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:29,080
That's the manual system in the
Russian segment of the station

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,220
that is used to fly a
Russian ship into a docking

13
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:36,290
with the station if the
automated system were to fail.

14
00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:39,620
With the next Progress
set to arrive tomorrow,

15
00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:41,710
they got a refresher
training session

16
00:00:41,710 --> 00:00:43,280
in TORU operations today.

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,030
The two crew members then spent
their afternoon shooting video

18
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:51,520
for a Russian TV show
called "Lessons from Space."

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,430
Flight Engineer Sergei
Revin had time

20
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:55,950
for an on-orbit conversation
with the director

21
00:00:55,950 --> 00:00:59,470
of a Russian university,
then he shot video

22
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:03,190
for another Russian project
about life in space finishing

23
00:01:03,190 --> 00:01:05,800
up his day with exercise
and maintenance

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,340
on Russian segment systems.

25
00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:10,420
Flight Engineers Joe Acaba

26
00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:14,120
and Suni Williams spent
half a day unloading items

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,330
in the Japanese cargo ship,
the H-II Transfer Vehicle

28
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:21,080
which arrived at the
station last Friday.

29
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,040
Acaba moved on to taking
some readings for a variety

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,320
of life sciences
research projects

31
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,980
and then examined samples

32
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:31,720
for the Advanced
Colloids Experiment.

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,300
That's going to examine
materials

34
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:36,550
that contain small colloidal
particles to learn more

35
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:40,150
about how those particles
behave in microgravity.

36
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:45,230
Suni Williams fed the spiders
in the YouTube Spacelab payload.

37
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:49,090
She also spent time talking to
a radio station in Woods Hole,

38
00:01:49,090 --> 00:01:54,520
Massachusetts, her home state
as well as to CNN, and finished

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,020
up the day with body
mass measurements,

40
00:01:57,020 --> 00:02:00,360
as did Acaba and Aki Hoshide.

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,730
Hoshide's morning
was taken up setting

42
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:05,020
up the ultrasound
equipment for scans

43
00:02:05,020 --> 00:02:08,290
of his leg during the
Sprint experiment,

44
00:02:08,290 --> 00:02:10,970
which is evaluating
whether high-intensity

45
00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:15,120
but low-volume exercise
is better than slower

46
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,260
but longer exercise in
helping maintain muscle,

47
00:02:18,260 --> 00:02:20,660
bone and cardiovascular
function.

48
00:02:20,660 --> 00:02:23,670
Hoshide also had his
last scheduled period

49
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:28,270
for station familiarization,
a station he's been a resident

50
00:02:28,270 --> 00:02:30,490
of for about two weeks now.

51
00:02:30,490 --> 00:02:33,510
Crew members have a variety of
science experiment operations

52
00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:35,520
on their plans for Wednesday,

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,750
as well as HTV emergency
procedures review before lunch.

54
00:02:40,750 --> 00:02:43,910
After lunch the Russian
crew members will get a nap

55
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:47,530
so that they'll be refreshed
for Wednesday evening's arrival

56
00:02:47,530 --> 00:02:49,890
of the next Progress vehicle.

57
00:02:49,890 --> 00:02:52,890
The new Russian cargo ship, 48P,

58
00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:56,350
launches at 2:35
p.m. central time

59
00:02:56,350 --> 00:02:59,390
from the Baikonur Cosmodrome
in Kazakhstan on Wednesday,

60
00:02:59,390 --> 00:03:03,820
August 1, and is scheduled to
dock just four orbits later,

61
00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:09,130
at 8:24 p.m. in the first test
of a new flight profile designed
