1 00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:04,530 good day and welcome to Mission Control 2 00:00:08,430 --> 00:00:05,950 Houston where a team of flight 3 00:00:10,230 --> 00:00:08,440 controllers is watching over the systems 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:10,240 aboard the International Space Station 5 00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:12,730 and support of the expedition 34 crew in 6 00:00:18,179 --> 00:00:15,940 orbit today the crew is focusing on 7 00:00:20,009 --> 00:00:18,189 experiments that once again look at 8 00:00:23,249 --> 00:00:20,019 plumbing concepts for future spacecraft 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:23,259 using surface tension to move fluids 10 00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:26,410 instead of gravity also working on an 11 00:00:31,229 --> 00:00:28,300 experiment on how liquids with magnetic 12 00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:31,239 suspended solids might be used as smart 13 00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:35,200 fluids for mechanical purposes Tom 14 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:37,180 Marshburn worked with the capillary flow 15 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:40,210 experiment three that work is starting 16 00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:42,490 new experiments on flows in weird 17 00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:45,310 containers that can passively passively 18 00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:47,860 separate fluid the researchers at the 19 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:49,390 Portland State University in Oregon 20 00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:51,490 intend to use the results to help guide 21 00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:53,140 development of new systems for 22 00:00:57,870 --> 00:00:55,720 spacecraft that make plumbing a lot more 23 00:00:59,490 --> 00:00:57,880 like Earth plumbing where the effects of 24 00:01:03,570 --> 00:00:59,500 surface tension replaced the role of 25 00:01:05,609 --> 00:01:03,580 gravity Chris Hadfield work with the 26 00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:05,619 colloid experiment that looks at how 27 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,740 solids suspended in fluids called 28 00:01:12,209 --> 00:01:10,240 investigating the structure of 29 00:01:15,569 --> 00:01:12,219 paramagnetic aggregates from colloidal 30 00:01:17,789 --> 00:01:15,579 emulsions two three researchers at the 31 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:17,799 university of delaware will obtain data 32 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:21,969 on magneto rheological fluids and those 33 00:01:25,649 --> 00:01:23,530 are fluids that change properties in 34 00:01:27,539 --> 00:01:25,659 response to magnetic fields that could 35 00:01:30,209 --> 00:01:27,549 be used to develop new brake systems and 36 00:01:32,489 --> 00:01:30,219 robotics essentially making them smart 37 00:01:34,649 --> 00:01:32,499 liquids Hadfield also had some time to 38 00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,659 work on inventory management to get 39 00:01:38,639 --> 00:01:36,159 ready for the next spacex dragon cargo 40 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:38,649 ship who also is continuing work on 41 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:40,960 servicing spacewalk suits with minimal 42 00:01:47,249 --> 00:01:43,450 or no interaction with Mission Control 43 00:01:49,859 --> 00:01:47,259 part of a demonstration called the ISS 44 00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:49,869 as testbed for analog research or I star 45 00:01:54,929 --> 00:01:52,630 and they're working with extra vehicular 46 00:01:58,370 --> 00:01:54,939 Mobility unit cooling loops primarily 47 00:02:00,599 --> 00:01:58,380 Tom Marshburn subdividing the tasks 48 00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,609 beyond the normal blocks of time that 49 00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:02,799 would have been scheduled for that on a 50 00:02:05,819 --> 00:02:04,479 normal type of thing where Mission 51 00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:05,829 Control watched over their shoulders 52 00:02:10,770 --> 00:02:07,929 yesterday the crew did a fluid loop 53 00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:10,780 scrub to clean the lines and begin work 54 00:02:14,190 --> 00:02:12,790 and is continuing today on adding iodine 55 00:02:15,290 --> 00:02:14,200 to the cooling water to prevent buildup 56 00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:15,300 so could closet 57 00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:17,790 the lines the idea of the whole thing is 58 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,310 to develop procedures that are much more 59 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:22,560 refined and what in the future allow 60 00:02:26,660 --> 00:02:25,410 crews to complete the work without a lot 61 00:02:28,930 --> 00:02:26,670 of interaction with Mission Control 62 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:28,940 which would be very important for 63 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:32,610 long-duration missions to distant places 64 00:02:38,270 --> 00:02:36,690 like meteor I like asteroids or other 65 00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:38,280 planets such as Mars where the 66 00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:40,230 communication delay start to become a 67 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:43,350 problem Kevin Ford collected hardware 68 00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:45,210 from the amine swingbed today in 69 00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:46,940 preparation for its periodic maintenance 70 00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:49,380 researchers are evaluating how well the 71 00:02:54,350 --> 00:02:51,900 experimental vacuum regenerated aiming 72 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:54,360 system can effectively room remove 73 00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:56,130 excess carbon dioxide from the app as 74 00:03:00,050 --> 00:02:57,930 fair helping out the other carbon 75 00:03:01,850 --> 00:03:00,060 dioxide removal systems ford also has 76 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:01,860 taken digital photos of the various 77 00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:03,690 payload racks on the station to document 78 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:05,340 any configuration changes for the 79 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:07,650 payload Operations Center people at the 80 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:08,730 Marshall Space Flight Center in 81 00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:11,130 Huntsville Alabama which coordinates all 82 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:12,390 the research onboard the space station 83 00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:14,970 and the Russians nowitzki tarelkin and 84 00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:16,500 romanenko also work with a variety of 85 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:18,750 their experiments and some station 86 00:03:22,580 --> 00:03:20,610 maintenance task Romanenko routed some 87 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:22,590 communication cables to get ready for 88 00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,910 the arrival of the next European 89 00:03:28,010 --> 00:03:25,440 automatic transfer vehicle later this 90 00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:28,020 year Tyrell can work with the relaxation 91 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:30,270 experiment that makes ultraviolet 92 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:32,330 spectrometer observations of the 93 00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:35,010 reactions in the xenon plasma from 94 00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:37,260 firings of two plasma contactor units 95 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:38,580 that are on the outside of the space 96 00:03:44,870 --> 00:03:41,610 station's truss and viski worked on some 97 00:03:46,910 --> 00:03:44,880 headset maintenance outside the space 98 00:03:48,530 --> 00:03:46,920 station robotics flight controllers in 99 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:48,540 Houston backed up by their Canadian 100 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:51,209 counterparts near Montreal have been 101 00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:53,850 using canadarm2 and the dexter phi 102 00:03:58,670 --> 00:03:56,430 manipulator system to move some spare 103 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,680 equipment replacement units around the 104 00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:00,959 slow but deliberate work by the robotics 105 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:03,540 officers resulted yesterday and the 106 00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:05,250 transfer of failed main bus switching 107 00:04:09,740 --> 00:04:07,350 unit from its temporary storage location 108 00:04:12,170 --> 00:04:09,750 on external stowage platform to outside 109 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,180 the quest airlock over to external 110 00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:14,400 logistics carrier too which is on the 111 00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:17,400 starboard truss that failed the device 112 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:18,630 was replaced last summer during 113 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:21,510 spacewalks by expedition 33 sonny 114 00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:24,240 williams and aki hoshide a today the 115 00:04:27,740 --> 00:04:25,590 ground robotics experts are going to be 116 00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:27,750 transferring a cargo transport container 117 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:30,140 from external logistics carrier to and 118 00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:33,690 installing it on Dexter's temporary 119 00:04:38,510 --> 00:04:35,670 equipment holder and then Wednesday 120 00:04:40,910 --> 00:04:38,520 they'll move a direct current switching 121 00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:40,920 unit from external storage platform to 122 00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:42,750 over to external logistics carrier to 123 00:04:47,890 --> 00:04:45,000 and then Thursday they'll be stowing the 124 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:47,900 Dexter unit on the mobile base switching 125 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:50,880 unit and then we have very busy week of 126 00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:52,650 robotic operations guided by the folks 127 00:04:58,100 --> 00:04:54,270 here on the ground freeing the crew on 128 00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:58,110 orbit for all of the up close and
