1
00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:03,400
This is Mission Control Houston.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,110
The Expedition 33 crew members
onboard the International Space

3
00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:09,520
Station kicked off
the week focusing

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,030
on upcoming visiting
vehicle operations.

5
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:17,320
Flight engineer Aki Hoshide
first off activated the Re-Entry

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,900
Breakup Recorder
and installed it

7
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:22,870
in the Automated Transfer
Vehicle number three.

8
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:26,160
During the ATV descent
through the atmosphere

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,680
after its undocking on [Tuesday]
afternoon the REBR records data

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,180
during that re-entry -- records
temperature and acceleration,

11
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:39,420
rotational rates and more --
all of that to be transmitted

12
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:43,830
and then studied to help design
future spacecraft that pose less

13
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:46,350
of a hazard during re-entry.

14
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:50,290
Hoshide then joined Flight
Engineer Yuri Malenchenko

15
00:00:50,290 --> 00:00:54,130
for some ATV undocking
training before they both went

16
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:58,180
to work closing the hatches
between ATV and station.

17
00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:01,050
The leak checks will be
conducted through the night

18
00:01:01,050 --> 00:01:04,230
in advance of the
scheduled undocking of ATV

19
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:09,360
on Tuesday afternoon at
5:35 PM Houston time.

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,270
Hoshide also worked with
Commander Suni Williams

21
00:01:12,270 --> 00:01:14,940
on Monday training for
next month's arrival

22
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:18,360
of the Dragon spacecraft --
the commercial cargo ship,

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,060
which targeted for its
first operational flight

24
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:24,810
to the International Space
Station in early October.

25
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:29,220
The Dragon now targeted to
launch on October 7 and dock

26
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:32,540
to the space station
on October 10.

27
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:35,630
Crew members did some
computer-based training using

28
00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:40,160
the Canadarm2 to grapple Dragon
when it approaches the station

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,850
and then berth it to
the Harmony node just

30
00:01:42,850 --> 00:01:45,200
as was done during
the first Dragon visit

31
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,310
to the station during its
demonstration flight back

32
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:49,830
in May.

33
00:01:49,830 --> 00:01:53,240
Williams spent time during
her afternoon on maintenance

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,160
in the Tranquility module.

35
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,570
She's replacing air
selector valves

36
00:01:57,570 --> 00:02:00,390
in the Carbon Dioxide
Removal Assembly.

37
00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:01,750
That's a key component

38
00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:04,970
of the station's regenerative
life support system.

39
00:02:04,970 --> 00:02:07,150
The CDRA and other elements

40
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:10,910
of that system maintain a
healthful environment onboard

41
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:15,110
for the station crew members
to live and do their work.

42
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:18,260
On Tuesday the crew members
will do maintenance and focus

43
00:02:18,260 --> 00:02:20,520
on gathering data
for experiments

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,270
into how the microgravity
environment impacts the

45
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:23,970
human body.

46
00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:28,380
And they will also have a midday
nap built into their schedule.

47
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:31,050
That's because they will
be up later than usual

48
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:35,220
on Tuesday afternoon to
support the undocking of the ATV

49
00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:37,900
at 5:35 p.m. Central time.

50
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:39,840
NASA TV coverage
of the departure

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,930
of the European Space Agency's
Edoardo Amaldi cargo vehicle
