00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,759
the year

5
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:09,360

8
00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:14,960
greg whitney is leading the team as

9
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:16,800

10
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:24,150

11
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:27,519
of expedition 34 are more or the six

12
00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:29,039

23
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:55,600
the space station since october 25th

24
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:57,760
when their soyuz

25
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,440
vehicle docked to the russian poisk

26
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:01,840
module they're now on their 65th day at

27
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,559
the station in their 67th day in space

28
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:06,560
and they were joined eight days ago by

29
00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:08,560
marshburn hadfield and romanenko who

30
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,840

21st

35
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:20,080
they're on their 10th day in space and

36
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:21,520
along with their fellow crew members are

37
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:24,720
currently orbiting 252 miles above the

38
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:27,200
atlantic ocean heading towards the tip

39
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,109
after arriving just last week the new

40
00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:37,280
crew members got their first week in

41
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:39,759
space off to a running start on monday

42
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,000
with a full load of maintenance science

43
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:44,240
and orientation activities but the

44
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,320
entire crew took a rest on tuesday to

45
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:48,159

they're on the uh

54
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:08,239
they're the 13th expedition crew to

55
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:09,599
spend christmas together onboard the

56
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:16,070
it was back to work on wednesday however

57
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:17,920
ford worked on a couple of experiments

58
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:20,160
including the lego bricks project which

59
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:21,920
is aimed at demonstrating scientific

60
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:23,760
principles for students and the

61
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:26,080
reversible figures experiment which

62
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:27,840
tests astronauts perception in

63
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,920
microgravity

64
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,599
hadfield and marshburn spent some more

65
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:33,840
time getting oriented to life in space

66
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:35,680
while their russian crewmates took part

67
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,840
in some ongoing russian experiments that

68
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:39,680
study various aspects of astronauts

69
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:46,150
and yesterday hadfield started work

70
00:02:50,150 --> 00:02:47,599
that's continuing today with the

71
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,160
neurospat experiment had field spent

72
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:52,080
yesterday wearing a hat that measured

73
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:54,879
brain waves for the experiment

74
00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:57,440
that experiment measures a crew member's

75
00:03:02,869 --> 00:02:59,519
spatial cognition and brain processing

76
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:05,030
view of him with that cap on yesterday

77
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:06,560
here

78
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:09,040
meanwhile marshburn and ford continued

79
00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:11,360
to work on the lego project and ford

80
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,959
worked with the station's treadmill

81
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,640
performing some maintenance while

82
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,800
navinsky tarelkin and romanenko drew

83
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:18,879
blood samples to measure the volume of

84
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:26,229
today the new crew members are focusing

85
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:28,319
most of their efforts on orientation and

86
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:31,200
a crew health care system drill while

87
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:33,840
ford works on the in space 3 experiment

88
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,360
which studies the fundamental behavior

89
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:37,599
of magnetic colloidal fluids under the

90
00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:40,400
influence of various magnetic fields

91
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:41,920
that's what's been going on in space
