00:00:03,830 --> 00:00:02,230
good morning and welcome to mission

2
00:00:05,749 --> 00:00:03,840
control houston and the international

3
00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:05,759
space station update

4
00:00:09,190 --> 00:00:07,120
onboard the space station the three

5
00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:09,200
members of the expedition 34 crew are

6
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:10,480
more than halfway through their day

7
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:12,960
which began at midnight this is ford

8
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:15,120
novitskiy and tarelkin's last full week

9
00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:16,960
alone at the space station the other

10
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,720
half of their original crew expedition

11
00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:21,119
33 returned to earth last month but the

12
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:23,279
second half of their new crew expedition

13
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:25,840
34 are just one week away from joining

14
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:26,720
them

15
00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:28,480
chris hadfield with canadian space

16
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,439
agency tom marshburn of nasa and roman

17
00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:33,440
romanenko of russia are scheduled to

18
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:35,840
launch into space at 6 12 a.m central

19
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:38,000
time on wednesday from the baikonur

20
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:40,480
cosmodrome in kazakhstan and dock to the

21
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:41,840
international space station one week

22
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:44,239
from today at 8 12 a.m central time on

23
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:46,079
december 21st

24
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,719
but despite the decrease of numbers in

25
00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,879
space at the moment ford tarelkin and

26
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:52,559
nowitzki have gotten quite a bit done

27
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:53,600
this week

28
00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:56,320
on monday ford did some water sampling

29
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:58,960
for the madonka experiment which looks

30
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:00,960
at the effects of uh living in

31
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:04,080
microgravity and what it does to bones

32
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,000
using fish inside the new aquatic

33
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:08,400
habitat in the kivo laboratory

34
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:10,479
he also set the station's robotic crew

35
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,119
member robonaut 2 up for work with its

36
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:15,360
task board however some connectivity

37
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:16,720
issues prevented the team here on the

38
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,200
ground from completing that task tuesday

39
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,880
was a day of maintenance as ford worked

40
00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,400
with the station's environmental control

41
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,400
and life support system performed an

42
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:26,880
inventory of bags used by the station's

43
00:01:31,429 --> 00:01:29,840
minus 80 degree laboratory freezer and

44
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,439
did some analysis of the water produced

45
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,920
by the station's water recycling system

46
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:35,600
it was more robotic work on wednesday

47
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,360
this time with the spheres satellites

48
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,520
which he helped turn into robots that

49
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,600
theoretically can be used to relieve the

50
00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:43,439
crew of some of their more mundane tasks

51
00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:45,119
by performing surveys of the station's

52
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:46,479
environment

53
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,479
that theory was tested on wednesday when

54
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,399
one of the bowling ball-sized satellites

55
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,640
was used to take photographic surveys of

56
00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:55,040
the station's interior yesterday ford

57
00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:56,719
focused his activity on the combustion

58
00:02:01,670 --> 00:01:58,560
integrated rack where he was replacing

59
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:01,680
some parts of the multi-user droplet

60
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:04,320
combustion apparatus which required some

61
00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,520
preventative maintenance due to the

62
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:07,119
expected buildup of combustion

63
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,800
byproducts and normal wear on the

64
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:10,800
igniter tips ford is going to wrap up

65
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:12,800
the week with more medaka maintenance

66
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:15,360
and also some work on the in space 3

67
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:17,599
experiment which looks at fluids that

68
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:19,920
have ellipsoid shaped particles that can
