1 00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:03,600 good morning from NASA's Johnson Space 2 00:00:09,869 --> 00:00:05,500 Center this is Mission Control Houston 3 00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:09,879 it's Tuesday August 22nd 2012 you're 4 00:00:13,289 --> 00:00:11,289 looking at the International Space 5 00:00:14,959 --> 00:00:13,299 Station flight control room from the 6 00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:14,969 front of the room looking across the 7 00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:17,260 consoles of the flight control team 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:20,320 members who are supporting the orbit 9 00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:22,330 shift team today that is working 10 00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:23,980 throughout the day supporting activities 11 00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:26,080 aboard the International Space Station 12 00:00:31,499 --> 00:00:29,230 in the room today overseeing the team is 13 00:00:34,110 --> 00:00:31,509 once again flight director Brian Smith 14 00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:34,120 you see him there in the white shirt he 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:36,910 has joined on console by a veteran 16 00:00:41,099 --> 00:00:39,010 astronaut Anna Fisher she's serving as 17 00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,109 the spacecraft communicator or the 18 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:43,840 Capcom she is the voice link between the 19 00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:46,390 flight control team and the crew aboard 20 00:00:50,819 --> 00:00:48,550 the International Space Station the 21 00:00:54,090 --> 00:00:50,829 space station currently tracking about 22 00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:54,100 250 4 miles above the earth tracking 23 00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:57,280 northeasterly across Bolivia will pass 24 00:01:02,040 --> 00:00:59,050 high above Brazil and then out across 25 00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:02,050 the Atlantic Ocean the next coastal 26 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:04,089 crossing the northwest coastline of 27 00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:06,970 Portugal will track across Spain France 28 00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:09,940 and much of European nations before 29 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:11,920 heading out across Russia Kazakhstan 30 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:15,370 into an orbital sunset from this vantage 31 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:17,170 point the station is circling the Earth 32 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:20,290 about every 92 minutes offering an 33 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:23,050 orbital sunrise and sunset to the crew 34 00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:24,850 members aboard the International Space 35 00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:28,510 Station that make up the expedition 32 36 00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:32,230 crew that crew arrived at the station at 37 00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:35,320 two different times the three of the 38 00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:37,420 crew members including commander gennady 39 00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:40,240 padalka flight engineer sergei revin and 40 00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:42,790 flight engineer joe acaba arrived at the 41 00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:45,340 station back in mid-may aboard their 42 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:50,230 soyuz tma 4m spacecraft they are slated 43 00:01:56,940 --> 00:01:53,770 to return home in mid-september their 44 00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:56,950 return home date right now is Sunday 45 00:02:02,940 --> 00:01:59,680 September 16th those three crew members 46 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:02,950 have been aboard the station now 98 days 47 00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:06,850 today marks their 100th day in space the 48 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:09,160 other three crew members that joined 49 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:11,650 those three back in mid-july about a 50 00:02:15,070 --> 00:02:14,560 month ago our flight engineers yuri 51 00:02:17,940 --> 00:02:15,080 malenchenko 52 00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:17,950 chanko and flight engineer suni Williams 53 00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:21,440 also flight engineer akihiko hoshide a 54 00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:24,230 aki hoshide a representing the japan 55 00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:27,020 aerospace exploration agency Sonny 56 00:02:31,870 --> 00:02:28,670 Williams of course a u.s. astronaut 57 00:02:35,170 --> 00:02:31,880 milenge and co a Russian cosmonaut so 58 00:02:38,350 --> 00:02:35,180 the six crew members day began they've 59 00:02:40,930 --> 00:02:38,360 restored their wake and sleep schedules 60 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:40,940 to their pretty much normal times which 61 00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:42,890 is they wake up about one o'clock in the 62

on 65 00:02:54,940 --> 00:02:52,250 activities in the Russian segment for 66 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:54,950 the Russian colleagues including a very 67 00:03:03,699 --> 00:02:57,680 detailed debrief of the space Walker 68 00:03:06,850 --> 00:03:03,709 that was conducted on Monday by padalka 69 00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:06,860 and malenchenko that five hour 51 minute 70 00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:10,430 a spacewalk provided them a great deal 71 00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:13,790 of of background to provide to the teams 72 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:15,440 on the ground they've been talking to 73 00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:17,330 their flight control team about that in 74 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:20,030 the meantime sunny williams and aki 75 00:03:27,070 --> 00:03:21,850 hoshide a who will be performing a 76 00:03:29,860 --> 00:03:27,080 us-based spacewalk honest 30th are back 77 00:03:33,009 --> 00:03:29,870 in the US air lock quest they are 78 00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:33,019 preparing tools and the spacesuits that 79 00:03:39,310 --> 00:03:35,360 they will wear for their spacewalk again 80 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:39,320 planned for August 30th to replace a 81 00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:41,570 faulty power relay unit on the station's 82 00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:43,880 truss structure they'll also route some 83 00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:47,360 power cables for the Russian scientific 84 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:49,340 laboratory that will replace the piers 85 00:03:54,340 --> 00:03:51,310 docking compartment and they'll also 86 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:54,350 replace remove and replace a failing 87 00:04:00,370 --> 00:03:57,370 camera that's out on the Canadian 88 00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:00,380 provided canadarm2 robotic arm that 89 00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:02,750 makes up the station's robotic work 90 00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:07,040 station on the outside of the complex in 91 00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:09,350 addition their scientific activity going 92 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:12,260 on inside the station Joe acabas been 93 00:04:19,780 --> 00:04:15,290 working pretty extensively with another 94 00:04:21,490 --> 00:04:19,790 experiment in the u.s. laboratory the B 95 00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:21,500 cat experiment which is the binary 96 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:25,640 colloidal colloidal alloy test the test 97 00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:27,170 today is 98 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,600 the colloidal science on the 99 00:04:34,450 --> 00:04:31,280 International Space Station supporting 100 00:04:38,590 --> 00:04:34,460 the Canadian science mission board ISS 101 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:38,600 known as be cat C 1 so he's been working 102 00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:41,210 very detailed activities associated with 103 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:44,120 that in support of that experiment so a 104 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:46,130 busy day for the crew aboard the station
