--> 00:00:54,800 work aboard the station as a 22 00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:56,559 three-member crew until the arrival of 23 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,480 three new crew members in a few weeks 24 00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:02,800 ford novitskiy and turalkin arrived at 25 00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:04,479 the international space station after 26 00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:07,280 docking their soyuz tma-06m 27 00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:10,159 spacecraft shown here too the poisk 28 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:14,080 module last month on october 25th 29 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:21,429 meanwhile the space station with its 30 00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:23,520 crew flying aboard is flying at an 31 00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:24,840 altitude of 32 00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,920 about a little more than 260 statute 33 00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,119 miles 34 00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:31,280 the orbiting facility is on an east 35 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,360 southeast track coming now across the 36 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:35,600 north pacific ocean and will pass an 37 00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:43,109 the expedition 34 crew members began 38 00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:45,119 their day with some time this morning 39 00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:47,840 for work prep preparation 40 00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:50,880 breakfast morning hygiene and a daily 41 00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:53,439 station inspection the crew then kicked 42 00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:55,119 off the day with the first of two daily 43 00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:56,479 planning conferences with ground 44 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,640 controllers around the world to review 45 00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:00,240 the day's activities and plan for the 46 00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,550 at the top of the task list commander 47 00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:10,640 kevin ford began his day early this 48 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,280 morning working with the aquatic habitat 49 00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:15,599 that is home to madoka fish aboard the 50 00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,560 international space station 51 00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:20,400 researchers are using this facility that 52 00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:22,879 was brought up to the space station back 53 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:25,599 this summer in july to look at how 54 00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,560 microgravity impacts marine life 55 00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:30,560 the ongoing studies will look at the 56 00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:33,360 impacts of radiation bone degradation 57 00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,599 muscle atrophy and developmental biology 58 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:39,840 ford this morning had performed a water 59 00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:41,120 quality check 60 00:02:45,910 --> 00:02:43,920 measuring the concentration of ammonium 61 00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:45,920 nitrate and nitrate in the water at that 62 00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,120 aquatic habitat 63 00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:51,519 commander ford then uh moved along to 64 00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:53,360 more research on orbit 65 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,560 he had 66 00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,800 performed a new data takes with its 67 00:03:00,150 --> 00:02:58,480 spheres experiment 68 00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:00,160 shown here in this video that was 69 00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:02,000 downlinked from earlier this morning 70 00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:04,319 that employs three bowling ball 71 00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:06,560

00:03:14,959 satellites are used to test techniques 75 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,640 that could lead to advancements in 76 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:19,200 automated dockings satellite servicing 77 00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:21,040 spacecraft assembly and emergency 78 00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,390 yesterday ground controllers in the 79 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,640 mission control commanded the canada arm 80 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:31,120 2 to walk off from the mobile base 81 00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:33,920 system power and data grapple fixture to 82 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,400 the harmony power and data grapple 83 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:39,120 fixture today commander ford had worked 84 00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:41,920 from inside the cupola to begin a 85 00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,319 routine inspection of the space station 86 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:46,720 arm latching end effector by snapping a 87 00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:49,280 series of pre-identified photographs of 88 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:52,080 the snare cable 89 00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,840 and meanwhile on the russian side of the 90 00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:55,680 house flight engineers novitskiy and 91 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:58,319 tarelkin 92 00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,319 work together to gather data for the 93 00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:02,239 russian scientific study known as 94 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:04,400 typology which looks at the effect of 95 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,720 long-term space flight on a crew 96 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,120 member's psycho-physical state his 97 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:11,519 ability to withstand stress and to 98 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:14,319 perform and communicate 99 00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:16,720 novitskiy then replaced a couple fire 100 00:04:21,110 -->
