1 00:00:01,196 --> 00:00:03,876 Good morning from Mission Control Houston and welcome 2 00:00:03,876 --> 00:00:06,036 to today's International Space Station Update. 3 00:00:06,776 --> 00:00:09,356 You're joining us now inside of the Flight Control Room here 4 00:00:09,356 --> 00:00:11,316 at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, 5 00:00:11,836 --> 00:00:14,456 looking down as the Orbit Two team is manning their consoles 6 00:00:14,826 --> 00:00:17,176 monitoring all the systems onboard the International 7 00:00:17,176 --> 00:00:17,876 Space Station. 8 00:00:18,516 --> 00:00:20,206 Today's team is once again being led 9 00:00:20,206 --> 00:00:23,056 by veteran Flight Director Paul Dye, you see there 10 00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:25,116 in the gray, the light gray vest. 11 00:00:25,466 --> 00:00:28,446 All the teams here in Mission Control today following the 12 00:00:28,446 --> 00:00:30,856 best-dressed code paying homage to one 13 00:00:30,856 --> 00:00:33,606 of the great flight directors in NASA history Gene Krantz. 14 00:00:35,356 --> 00:00:38,656 Beside him is Capcom David Saint-Jacques serving 15 00:00:38,656 --> 00:00:41,286 as the communication link between all of our teams here 16 00:00:41,286 --> 00:00:44,566 on the ground and the astronauts up in space and he'll continue 17 00:00:44,566 --> 00:00:49,006 to serve all throughout this Orbit Two time period. 18 00:00:49,296 --> 00:00:52,246 And then meanwhile our astronauts onboard are the crew 19 00:00:52,246 --> 00:00:53,556 of Expedition 34. 20 00:00:54,286 --> 00:00:59,326 They're being led by NASA astronaut Kevin Ford early 21 00:00:59,326 --> 00:01:00,796 on his second flight into space. 22 00:01:00,796 --> 00:01:02,316 He's there in the front row on the left. 23 00:01:02,686 --> 00:01:05,166 Behind him two Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy 24 00:01:05,166 --> 00:01:07,496 and Evgeny Tarelkin, the two rookie space fliers 25 00:01:07,496 --> 00:01:09,416 on their first flight into space. 26 00:01:09,976 --> 00:01:11,576 And over there on the right rounding 27 00:01:11,576 --> 00:01:14,136 out the six-man crew is another Russian cosmonaut Roman 28 00:01:14,136 --> 00:01:17,996 Romanenko, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield there 29 00:01:17,996 --> 00:01:19,866 in the front and finally all the way 30 00:01:19,866 --> 00:01:22,476 on the right there second NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn. 31 00:01:23,796 --> 00:01:26,086 Pretty busy day for these astronauts onboard the 32 00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:27,596 International Space Station today. 33 00:01:28,256 --> 00:01:31,136 A couple of maintenance activities and also quite a bit 34 00:01:31,136 --> 00:01:34,406 of robotics activity taking place onboard starting off 35 00:01:34,406 --> 00:01:35,726 with Commander Kevin Ford 36 00:01:35,726 --> 00:01:38,256 who a little bit earlier this morning was doing some 37 00:01:38,306 --> 00:01:39,226 in-flight maintenance. 38 00:01:39,226 --> 00:01:42,806 He was going through the U.S. laboratory onboard the station 39 00:01:42,806 --> 00:01:44,816 and inspecting some of the windows throughout. 40 00:01:45,586 --> 00:01:46,726 Following that he moved 41 00:01:46,726 --> 00:01:49,696 on to doing an ozone sensor check inside 42 00:01:49,696 --> 00:01:52,206 of the BioLab Glovebox before moving off 43 00:01:52,206 --> 00:01:55,126 to his major activity today and that's going to be focusing 44 00:01:55,126 --> 00:01:56,716 on the station's robotic arm. 45 00:01:57,216 --> 00:02:01,396 He and his fellow crew members reviewed all of the DOUG 46 00:02:01,396 --> 00:02:02,796 and robotics procedures. 47 00:02:02,846 --> 00:02:05,376 DOUG is the interface used to receive 48 00:02:05,376 --> 00:02:09,616 and display real-time station arm joint angle telemetry 49 00:02:09,616 --> 00:02:12,266 on to a laptop onboard the station. 50 00:02:12,926 --> 00:02:13,966 Following all that review, 51 00:02:13,966 --> 00:02:15,836 which they completed a short while ago, 52 00:02:15,836 --> 00:02:18,876 they'll be doing a walk-off and getting their hands 53 00:02:18,876 --> 00:02:20,936 on for the first time to maneuver 54 00:02:20,936 --> 00:02:22,946 that robotic arm around. 55 00:02:23,886 --> 00:02:26,616 Moving on, our Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy was continuing 56 00:02:26,616 --> 00:02:28,836 some work he was doing yesterday inside 57 00:02:28,836 --> 00:02:31,216 of the Russian service module, also known as Zvezda. 58 00:02:31,746 --> 00:02:33,146 He's been doing a few repairs 59 00:02:33,146 --> 00:02:35,686 to the interior installing some overlay plates. 60 00:02:36,306 --> 00:02:39,256 Following that he took some time to participate 61 00:02:39,256 --> 00:02:40,596 in the Uragan experiment. 62 00:02:40,936 --> 00:02:43,786 It's an ongoing Russian investigation 63 00:02:43,786 --> 00:02:46,426 into developing more methods for natural 64 00:02:46,426 --> 00:02:48,036 and man-made disaster monitoring. 65 00:02:48,376 --> 00:02:50,816 He was doing some observations of his own 66 00:02:51,346 --> 00:02:52,576 and quite a bit of photography. 67 00:02:54,296 --> 00:02:57,196 Another Russian cosmonaut Evgeny Tarelkin meanwhile onboard the 68 00:02:57,196 --> 00:02:59,406 station was doing some routine maintenance 69 00:02:59,406 --> 00:03:01,836 on the comm subsystem throughout the Russian segment. 70 00:03:02,216 --> 00:03:05,776 He was assisted by this, in this by Novitskiy throughout 71 00:03:06,126 --> 00:03:07,446 and also teams on the ground. 72 00:03:07,956 --> 00:03:11,536 A little bit after that he went on to study, 73 00:03:12,626 --> 00:03:15,526 participate in a study of the cardiovascular system 74 00:03:15,756 --> 00:03:18,736 under specifically graded loads. 75 00:03:18,886 --> 00:03:21,856 They were using the VELO onboard the station that's one 76 00:03:21,856 --> 00:03:23,476 of the stationary bicycles. 77 00:03:23,476 --> 00:03:25,536 It's located over in the Russian segment. 78 00:03:25,796 --> 00:03:29,226 Our third Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko was continuing 79 00:03:29,226 --> 00:03:31,216 some work on the Plasma Crystal experiment 80 00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:33,346 which looks small dust particles 81 00:03:33,346 --> 00:03:37,996 and other colloid shaped particles suspended 82 00:03:37,996 --> 00:03:40,486 in fluids onboard the International Space Station. 83 00:03:41,106 --> 00:03:44,536 He's also involved in some cargo operations taking some items 84 00:03:44,536 --> 00:03:48,226 out of the 48 Progress vehicle currently docked 85 00:03:48,226 --> 00:03:51,786 to the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station 86 00:03:51,896 --> 00:03:55,636 to the full station structure there with two Progress 87 00:03:55,636 --> 00:03:58,316 and two crewed Soyuz vehicles currently docked. 88 00:03:59,006 --> 00:04:01,126 So he was transferring a few items in and out 89 00:04:01,126 --> 00:04:02,836 of that vehicle before moving 90 00:04:02,836 --> 00:04:05,046 onto doing some routine maintenance 91 00:04:05,186 --> 00:04:07,076 on the Russian segment's Elektron system 92 00:04:07,476 --> 00:04:09,836 which helps generate some of the oxygen 93 00:04:10,176 --> 00:04:11,406 for the station atmosphere. 94 00:04:12,916 --> 00:04:16,546 Meanwhile, our Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield will be 95 00:04:16,546 --> 00:04:22,996 participating in all those robotic arm operations today, 96 00:04:23,346 --> 00:04:25,296 also doing another run 97 00:04:25,296 --> 00:04:27,746 of the InSpace-3 experiment this morning. 98 00:04:28,286 --> 00:04:31,026 InSpace-3 looking to obtain data 99 00:04:31,026 --> 00:04:33,836 on different fluids containing ellipsoid shaped particles 100 00:04:34,236 --> 00:04:36,216 that change their physical properties of the fluids 101 00:04:36,216 --> 00:04:38,776 that they're suspended in when subjected 102 00:04:38,776 --> 00:04:41,236 to varying strength of magnetic fields. 103 00:04:41,856 --> 00:04:45,076 Then just little bit later this morning he'll be participating 104 00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:47,306 in a public affairs event talking 105 00:04:47,306 --> 00:04:50,076 to Canadian media across that country. 106 00:04:50,496 --> 00:04:53,566 That'll be immediately following today's ISS update 107 00:04:53,566 --> 00:04:57,306 at 11:15 a.m. Central time, 12:15 p.m. Eastern. 108 00:04:58,656 --> 00:05:03,306 Our final Expedition 34 crew member Tom Marshburn spent a few 109 00:05:03,306 --> 00:05:06,726 hours today inside of the Quest airlock working on some 110 00:05:06,726 --> 00:05:09,296 of the EVA or extravehicular activity tools. 111 00:05:09,296 --> 00:05:11,706 He was doing some maintenance on the PGT, 112 00:05:11,706 --> 00:05:14,806 or the pistol grip tool, which is more or less the drill 113 00:05:14,806 --> 00:05:18,126 that these astronauts use when they're outside of the station. 114 00:05:18,126 --> 00:05:22,126 You can see Marshburn inside of Quest doing some maintenance 115 00:05:22,126 --> 00:05:23,836 on that pistol grip tool right here. 116 00:05:24,376 --> 00:05:28,386 Aside from that work today he'll also be joining Chris Hadfield 117 00:05:28,386 --> 00:05:30,666 and Commander Ford in all 118 00:05:30,666 --> 00:05:32,606 of the robotics activities getting a chance 119 00:05:32,606 --> 00:05:34,816 to get his hands on that robotic arm. 120 00:05:34,816 --> 00:05:38,556 You can see it here as they do some walk-offs 121 00:05:38,556 --> 00:05:40,416 and have finished reviewing all
