1 00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:03,830 this is mission control houston the 2 00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:05,920 international space station's expedition 3 00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:08,720 34 crew members showed progress on a 4 00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:10,800 range of science investigations on 5 00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,200 tuesday while also pressing ahead with 6 00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:15,360 preparations for saturday's planned 7 00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:17,760 arrival of a new shipment of supplies on 8 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:20,160 an unmanned cargo craft 9 00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:21,840 commander kevin ford started the day 10 00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:24,320 with the health status questionnaire 11 00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:26,720 that's just part of an ongoing effort 12 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,640 for all of the crew members to gather 13 00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:30,960 information about how human bodies 14 00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:34,000 respond to being in a zero-g environment 15 00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:36,640 for an extended period of time 16 00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,600 ford then moved on to loading software 17 00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:41,840 on a laptop computer in the columbus 18 00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,239 module for operations scheduled on 19 00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,719 wednesday with the cruise experiment 20 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:48,559 that's a european space agency 21 00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:51,360 investigation into ways to improve crew 22 00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:54,239 efficiency and autonomy and it includes 23 00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:56,719 experimenting with voice commanding of 24 00:01:01,270 --> 00:00:59,280 the procedures interface 25 00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:01,280 flight engineer chris hadfield gathered 26 00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,320 more hardware today for later operations 27 00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:06,560 with an experiment known as coarsening 28 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:09,280 in solid liquid mixture the raw 29 00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,000 materials for that experiment are being 30 00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,880 delivered on the dragon cargo ship 31 00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:16,799 later he installed and checked out the 32 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:18,720 centerline birthing camera in the 33 00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:21,520 harmony nader hatch window that will 34 00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:23,600 support the birthing of the dragon on 35 00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,759 saturday after its grapple by canadarm2 36 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:29,840 flight engineer tom marshburn spent his 37 00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:32,320 morning supporting the spears vertigo 38 00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:35,759 experiment that's an mit space systems 39 00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:38,880 laboratory investigation employing some 40 00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:42,079 of the bowling ball sized satellites to 41 00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:45,439 create a 3d model of another object the 42 00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:47,759 intent in this experiment is that the 43 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:50,159 model created by the satellites could 44 00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:53,360 then be used to inform the free flyers 45 00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,439 autonomous navigation that they could 46 00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:57,360 look at what was out there create a 47 00:02:02,870 --> 00:01:59,840 model and be able to use it right away 48 00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,880 in order to fly without impacting other 49 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:04,159 objects 50 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:05,680 on the russian side of the station 51 00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:07,680 flight engineer oleg novitskiy spent 52 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,399 time 53 00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:11,200 today on a russian tv documentary about 54 00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:13,280 life on board the station 55 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:15,440 and he was then joined by flight 56 00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:18,400 engineers evgeny tarelkin and roman 57 00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,959 romanenko for a russian public affairs 58 00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:22,480 event this morning 59 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:24,800 all three of the russian crew members 60 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:27,360 moved on to routine station maintenance 61 00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:30,239 tasks throughout their tuesday afternoon 62 00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:31,920 on orbit 63 00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:34,560 after exercise and lunch on tuesday 64 00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:36,720 commander kevin ford moved to complete 65 00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:39,920 the change out of a gearbox in the amine 66 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:42,879 swingbed that's a nasa investigation 67 00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:45,360 into whether a vacuum-regenerated immune 68 00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:47,840 system can be an efficient and reliable 69 00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,319 way to remove carbon dioxide from the 70 00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:52,400 environment of a space vehicle 71 00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,480 near the end of his work day ford will 72 00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:57,040 join flight engineers chris hadfield and 73 00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,680 tom marshburn for an educational event 74 00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:01,599 talking to students gathered at the 75 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:04,959 metropolitan
