36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,310
at the space station two days
after their launch on October 25

37
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:56,120
and today they will complete
63 consecutive days in space.

38
00:01:57,930 --> 00:02:01,810
The space station with its
crew aboard is now flying

39
00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:06,950
at an altitude of about
250 statute miles.

40
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:10,200
The orbiting facility is on the
northeast Eastern track coming

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,350
across the North Atlantic Ocean

42
00:02:12,350 --> 00:02:14,820
and will eventually
about 10 min.

43
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:18,100
make a Southeast time for
passing off the southern tip

44
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:23,170
of Ireland, United Kingdom,
Germany, Austria, Romania.

45
00:02:28,770 --> 00:02:31,520
The Expedition 34 crew
members began their day

46
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,110
with sometime this morning
for work prep, morning hygiene

47
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:37,280
and daily station inspection.

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,490
The crew then kicked off
the day with the first

49
00:02:39,490 --> 00:02:41,140
of two daily planning
conferences

50
00:02:41,140 --> 00:02:43,120
with ground controllers
around the world

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:52,150
to review today's activities and
plan for the next set of tasks.

52
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:54,470
Commander Ford began
his morning working

53
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:58,130
to loaded new control software,
upgrade he promised to one

54
00:02:58,130 --> 00:03:02,470
of the experiment racks and a
Japanese module to make and what

55
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:06,110
with a couple of science
experiments spent some time

56
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:10,550
reviewing the Lego bricks study
that uses the common Lego bricks

57
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:13,330
to demonstrate simple
science concepts

58
00:03:13,330 --> 00:03:15,580
and how Construction
works differently

59
00:03:15,580 --> 00:03:18,950
in the microgravity environment.

60
00:03:18,950 --> 00:03:20,960
Ford also had conducted
a session

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,420
with the reversible
figures experiment

62
00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:25,920
that studies whether the
perception of a figure

63
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:30,190
that can only be seen to change
of perspective orientation

64
00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:33,430
in two different ways is
affected by microgravity.

65
00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:39,840
Commander Ford also took
time out today to talk

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,160
with University of Notre Dame
earlier this morning we will

67
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,960
replay that back to live
in-flight event later during

68
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,430
today's ISS update.

69
00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:52,080
Ford and new station residents
flight engineer Chris Hadfield

70
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,020
had worked together for a
function handover review

71
00:03:55,020 --> 00:03:56,400
of correct pulley alignment

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,570
of the advanced resistive
exercise device.

73
00:03:59,570 --> 00:04:01,910
This is the exercise system

74
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:09,460
that simulates weightlifting
here on Earth.

75
00:04:09,460 --> 00:04:14,260
Ford now performed a an hour
of his daily two-hour exercise,

76
00:04:14,260 --> 00:04:18,090
He will then closeout the
software load performed earlier

77
00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:19,590
this morning and I participate

78
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:22,410
in a private medical
conference this afternoon.

79
00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:27,980
New station resident Chris
Hadfield kicked off his day

80
00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:31,020
with his that two-hour daily
exercise using the advanced

81
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:34,950
resistive exercise device, and
also the onboard treadmill;

82
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:39,290
he then had some time for
continued station orientation.

83
00:04:39,290 --> 00:04:43,660
Hadfield relocated a
couple of items stowed

84
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:46,760
in the experiment racks
in advance of a couple

85
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,900
of experiment operations
that'll be

86
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:52,850
at conducted this week
and also next week.

87
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:56,970
Hadfield will participate in
a private medical conference

88
00:04:56,970 --> 00:05:00,130
and he'll also performed regular
maintenance to the onboard waste

89
00:05:00,130 --> 00:05:05,330
and hygiene compartment, later
he also will perform a session

90
00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:08,420
with the reversible
figures experiment.

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,420
Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn
spent some time this morning

92
00:05:13,420 --> 00:05:18,560
with the Lego bricks study,
had Some Additional Time

93
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,800
for Space Station Orientation.

94
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,040
Marshburn Then Conducted
a Review

95
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,740
of the Onboard Refrigerator
Nknown

96
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:28,120
as the -80 Laboratory Freezer.

97
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,180
This Is Used to Store Biological
and Experiment Samples

98
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:34,420
That Require Refrigeration
Aboard the International

99
00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:36,860
Space Station.

100
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:39,990
Marshburn Also Will Participate
in a Private Medical Conference

101
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:46,330
and Will Have Time to Work on
Entry for the at Journal Study.

102
00:05:46,330 --> 00:05:48,350
Meanwhile on the Russian
Side of the House,

103
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:51,000
Flight Engineers Novitskiy
and Tarelkin Worked Together

104
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,770
on the Typology Experiment,
That Looks at the Effect

105
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:55,120
