1
00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:03,420
Good morning and welcome

2
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:06,040
to today's International
Space Station update.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,380
You're joining us here inside
of the flight control room

4
00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:11,200
in Houston Texas where the
Orbit 2 team is currently

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,720
on console monitoring all
the systems onboard the

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,870
orbiting laboratory.

7
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:19,150
They're being led today by
flight director Ed Van Cise,

8
00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:21,070
shown there in the red
shirt, and joining him

9
00:00:21,070 --> 00:00:25,130
at the Capcom position is NASA
astronaut Sandy Magnus serving

10
00:00:25,130 --> 00:00:27,780
as the communication link
between teams here on the ground

11
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:30,530
in Houston and the
astronauts up in space.

12
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:33,480
And those astronauts
right now are the crew

13
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:35,820
of Expedition 32 being led

14
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:38,880
by veteran Russian
cosmonaut Gennady Padalka

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,320
in the front row
on the right there.

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,610
Joining him also starting

17
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:46,560
on the left is Japan Aerospace
Exploration [Agency] astronaut

18
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,280
Aki Hoshide.

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,810
There in the front Russian
cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko

20
00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:54,420
and then moving along across
the right NASA astronaut Suni

21
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:57,200
Williams, another NASA
astronaut Joe Acaba,

22
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,850
all the way in the back right
there is our third Russian

23
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:01,720
cosmonaut Sergei Revin.

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,620
Major tasks onboard the
station including quite a bit

25
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:06,170
of robotic activity.

26
00:01:06,170 --> 00:01:10,050
Ground teams today used space
station's robotic manipulator

27
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:13,170
arm to extract the
exposed pallet

28
00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:16,090
out of the Japanese HTV vehicle.

29
00:01:16,090 --> 00:01:19,640
HTV being a unmanned
cargo craft which docked

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,630
with the International Space
Station just a little bit

31
00:01:21,630 --> 00:01:25,970
over a week ago on
July 27 carrying a haul

32
00:01:25,970 --> 00:01:28,310
of both pressurized
and unpressurized cargo

33
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:30,210
to the International
Space Station.

34
00:01:30,210 --> 00:01:31,500
This external pallet coming

35
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:35,640
out of the unpressurized
system being taken out by teams

36
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,260
on the ground with the station
robotic arm and handed off

37
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:42,090
to the Japanese experiment
module remote manipulator system

38
00:01:42,090 --> 00:01:44,210
or the JEM RMS.

39
00:01:44,210 --> 00:01:47,980
And following this handoff
astronauts Aki Hoshide

40
00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:51,280
and Joe Acaba then grappled and
installed the external pallet

41
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,700
on the JEM exposed facility.

42
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,830
Exposed pallet on
the outboard portion

43
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:57,450
of the Japanese experiment
module

44
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:00,660
which allows different payloads
to be exposed to the vacuum

45
00:02:00,660 --> 00:02:03,780
and radiation environment
of deep space.

46
00:02:03,780 --> 00:02:05,510
Aside from that work going

47
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:08,310
on throughout the day today
Joe Acaba is also working

48
00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:12,790
with the Binary Colloidal
Alloy Test also known as BCAT

49
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:14,160
which is an experiment
that looks

50
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,980
to study particles known a
colloids as they're suspended

51
00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:22,610
in different plasmas to help
offer a few more insights

52
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:25,120
into basic particle
physics taking advantage

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440
of that microgravity environment
onboard the International

54
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,950
Space Station.

55
00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:30,230
Acaba's partner in all

56
00:02:30,230 --> 00:02:35,440
that robotic activity earlier
today Aki Hoshide is getting

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,400
involved in a Japan Aerospace

58
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,340
and Exploration Agency
biological experiment,

59
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:43,680
starting up some measurements
for Biorhythms which looks

60
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,040
to examine the effect of
long-term microgravity exposure

61
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,030
on automatic cardiac functions

62
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:52,110
and uses 24-hour
electrocardiogram

63
00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:54,820
on these ISS crew members.

64
00:02:54,820 --> 00:02:59,740
The third USOS crew member Suni
Williams has been setting up

65
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:01,820
and charging a couple
of batteries

66
00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:03,280
for different power tools.

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,840
They're Makita batteries

68
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,080
for some upcoming Integrated
Cardiovascular monitoring she'll

69
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,510
be doing throughout the week.

70
00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:13,280
Integrated Cardiovascular
a US study similar

71
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,360
to that Biorhythms
JAXA experiment

72
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,480
that Aki Hoshide's working
which looks to study the atrophy

73
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,730
or the weakening of
the heart muscle during

74
00:03:22,730 --> 00:03:24,710
long-duration spaceflight.

75
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:28,040
She'll also be working to
set up a modification kit,

76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,860
installing that on the
station's recycling tank.

77
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:34,200
Meanwhile our three Russian
cosmonauts starting off

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,610
with commander Gennady
Padalka who's inside

79
00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:39,170
of the Russian service module

80
00:03:39,170 --> 00:03:43,280
or Zvezda installing
the Kurs-P antenna,

81
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,750
the passive manual
antenna switch.

82
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:49,990
The Kurs-P is the receiving end
of that automated docking system

83
00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:52,350
which controls the
Progress spacecraft

84
00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:55,830
on their final approach to the
International Space Station.

85
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:57,610
Aside from setting
that switch today,

86
00:03:57,610 --> 00:04:00,010
he'll be doing some
cargo transfer

87
00:04:00,010 --> 00:04:01,730
from the 48 Progress vehicle

88
00:04:01,730 --> 00:04:04,610
which docked just a
little over week ago.

89
00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:08,380
He'll also be updating the
station's inventory management

90
00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:11,090
system along with Yuri
Malenchenko who was going

91
00:04:11,090 --> 00:04:13,930
to be giving him a hand
with that cargo transfer

92
00:04:13,930 --> 00:04:15,980
from the 48 Progress vehicle.

93
00:04:15,980 --> 00:04:18,070
And he will also be doing
some leak checks on ATV,

94
00:04:18,070 --> 00:04:21,120
which is the third unmanned
cargo craft currently docked

95
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,200
to the station.

96
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,630
Quite a bit of visiting
vehicles interacting

97
00:04:24,630 --> 00:04:26,800
with this station
complex right now.

98
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,560
ATV 3 all the way the back
there on the aft end of Zvezda.

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,740
It's been attached

100
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:33,670
to the station the
longest out of the three.

101
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:36,150
The three unmanned craft
ATV, Progress and HTV.

102
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:40,040
Also he'll be doing a couple
of leak checks on that

103
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,980
with its undocking
scheduled in the near future.

104
00:04:42,980 --> 00:04:46,090
Then our third and final Russian
cosmonaut Sergei Revin is going

105
00:04:46,090 --> 00:04:47,800
be doing some routine
replacements

106
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,330
on the Russian toilet system

107
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:51,130
and also replacing
a few lights inside
