00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:43,269 the day's activities and plan for the 63 00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:49,510 next set of task commander Ford began 64 00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:50,920 his morning working with a science 65 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:53,260 experiment known as in space 3 that 66 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:54,730 looks at the changes of physical 67 00:03:00,059 --> 00:02:57,970 properties of choroidal and a fluid in 68 00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:00,069 response to magnetic fields this 69 00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:02,040 research has possible technological 70 00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:04,180 application in structure design here on 71 00:03:08,789 --> 00:03:06,670 earth structures such as bridges and 72 00:03:15,539 --> 00:03:08,799 buildings to better withstand earthquake 73 00:03:18,539 --> 00:03:15,549 forces currently commander Ford and his 74 00:03:21,059 --> 00:03:18,549 crewmates nowitzki Tarakan Romanenko 75 00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:21,069 Hadfield and Marshburn are participating 76 00:03:26,009 --> 00:03:23,230 in an onboard training session to review 77 00:03:28,259 --> 00:03:26,019 a stations emergency hardware the 78 00:03:30,449 --> 00:03:28,269 expedition 34 crew will review the 79 00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:30,459 locations of equipment and positions of 80 00:03:36,030 --> 00:03:33,489 Valve's required in emergencies the crew 81 00:03:37,949 --> 00:03:36,040 then we'll inspect each hatch throughout 82 00:03:40,170 --> 00:03:37,959 the orbiting complex in both the Russian 83 00:03:41,849 --> 00:03:40,180 and the u.s. segments while at ground 84 00:03:46,050 --> 00:03:41,859 teams review the crew interactions and 85 00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:46,060 an emergency after a conference with the 86 00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:47,470 ground following today's crew onboard 87 00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:49,480 training session Ford and flight 88 00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:51,190 engineer Marshburn will spend the 89 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:52,900 afternoon working with the Lego bricks 90 00:03:58,050 --> 00:03:55,690 study that uses common Lego bricks to 91 00:04:00,330 --> 00:03:58,060 demonstrate simple science concepts and 92 00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:00,340 construction in my in a microgravity 93 00:04:08,009 --> 00:04:05,680 environment earlier this morning flight 94 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,019 engineer Chris Hadfield had deployed 95 00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:10,239 small radiation bubble detectors at 96 00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:11,980 several locations across the station 97 00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:15,280 that may provide important data for 98 00:04:20,219 --> 00:04:18,070 accurate risk assessment of neutron 99 00:04:23,219 --> 00:04:20,229 radiation in space that could lead to 100 00:04:24,460 --> 00:04:23,229 advances to reduce astronauts exposure 101 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:24,470 to radiation during 102 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:29,810 future missions and with marsh burns 103 00:04:35,230 --> 00:04:32,510 help Hadfield performed a session of the 104 00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:35,240 neuro spat experiment this is a human 105 00:04:39,190 --> 00:04:37,070 body study that studies the effect of 106 00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:39,200 gravitational context on brain 107 00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:42,110 processing shown here Marsh bone is 108 00:04:51,610 --> 00:04:48,820 assisting a head filled with the EEG cap 109 00:04:53,530 --> 00:04:51,620 through a virtual reality session at 110 00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:53,540 least five cognitive processes are 111 00:04:58,840 --> 00:04:55,700 examined that include perception 112 00:05:05,860 --> 00:04:58,850 attention memorization decision and 113 00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:05,870 action meanwhile on the Russian side of 114 00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,640 the house russian flight engineers Oleg 115 00:05:11,890 --> 00:05:09,680 novitskiy Evgeny tarelkin and Roman 116 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:11,900 Romanenko divided their day between 117 00:05:16,090 --> 00:05:14,090 hardware inventory maintenance and 118 00:05:17,710 --> 00:05:16,100 several science experiments including 119 00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:17,720 matreshka study that looks at the 120 00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:19,880 radiation environment dynamics of the 121 00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:23,030 space station and each of the crew 122 00:05:26,530 --> 00:05:24,380 members will put in their daily two 123 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:26,540 hours of exercise using the onboard gym 124 00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:28,490 equipment that includes a station 125 00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:31,190 bicycle a treadmill and an advanced 126 00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:33,110 resistive exercise device that simulates 127 00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:36,470 weightlifting here on earth the crew 128 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:38,360 will then wrap up their day with a final 129 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:41,810 daily planning conference and is then 130 00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:43,610 scheduled to go to bed at three-thirty
