00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:30,400
depart from the international space

47
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,520
station and land in kazakhstan tonight

48
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,520
the entire crew sleep shifted over

49
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:37,439
waking up at about eight a.m central

50
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:40,400
time a few hours later in order to shift

51
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:43,119
over for all these undocking operations

52
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:44,560
however right now the landing is

53
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:47,040
currently under review by rose cosmos

54
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:49,280
officials due to some adverse weather

55
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:52,399
conditions across the kazakh step

56
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,320
some fog and freezing rain prevented

57
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,920
some of the uh search and recovery

58
00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:57,600
helicopters from deploying a little bit

59
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,439
earlier this morning out of their

60
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:01,920
staging city of kustanai kazakhstan over

61
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,479
to arcolic a number of you can see a

62
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,399
number of the recovery

63
00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:08,800
vehicles here the current weather

64
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:10,399
forecast though calls for some of the

65
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:12,000
improving conditions

66
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,760
to move across the kazakh step over the

67
00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:15,599
next 24 hours but

68
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,200
still not clear if those conditions will

69
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:19,200
improve enough to enable a landing on

70
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,720
time tonight

71
00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,480
state commission members are expected to

00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:24,319
meet a little bit later this afternoon

73
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:26,480
central time in order to evaluate

74
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:27,840
whether or not to go ahead and push

75
00:02:33,509 --> 00:02:29,840
ahead with tonight's landing events or

76
00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:33,519
delay it about 24 hours to march 16th

77
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,840
but as of right now everything's still

78
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:37,120
on schedule

last few items packed up and installed

113
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,640
in their soyuz craft and running through

114
00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,319
all the spacecraft checkouts and

115
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,640
departure preparations in advance of

116
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:02,319
their leaving you can see the current

117
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:04,760
station structure here their craft

118
00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:07,760
tma-06m spacecraft at the top there on

119
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,599
the space-facing side of the station

120
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:11,760
currently docked to the mini research

121
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,879
module 2 or the poisk module that's been

122
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:17,040
docked there since october 25th when

123
00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:20,720
these three astronauts first arrived

124
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:22,960
and then this will be what the station

125
00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:26,479
looks like once that craft departs the

126
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:30,160
soyuz uh 07m which carried r3 expedition

127
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:32,800
35 astronauts will remain on board i

128
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,720
will stay docked as well as uh three

129
00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,960
unmanned cargo craft including that uh

130
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:38,800
dragon resupply vehicle which docked

131
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,199
just a few weeks ago

132
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,600
and staying on board uh chris hanfield

133
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:45,199
who's our new commander of the

134
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:46,800
international space station and will

135
00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:47,680
command

136
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:51,120
expedition 35 after taking over

137
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:53,840
from kevin ford yesterday afternoon

138
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:55,280
he'll be helping out with some of that

139
00:04:58,870 --> 00:04:57,120
departure prep and also working on the

140
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:58,880
station's environmental health system

141
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,960
doing some air quality monitoring and

142
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,400
some routine maintenance on the

143
00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:04,320
station's a-red device

144
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:06,479
known as the advanced resistive exercise

145
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,360
device one of the numerous exercise

146
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:11,360
pieces of equipment on board the station

147
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:14,479
for these astronauts to maintain health

148
00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,720
meanwhile roman romanenko will be

149
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,240
fairly busy inside of the russian

150
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:20,160
segment so be the point person for all

151
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:22,080
the undock operations from the station

152
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,919
perspective completing all the

153
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:25,600
communication checkouts between the

154
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:28,320
soyuz and the station also removing some

155
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,320
of the clamps on the side of the voice

156
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:32,720
module and photograph in the area also

157
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,800
be responsible for activating the

158
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:36,639
telemetry system inside of the russian

159
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:38,800
segment which is used to

160
00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:40,160
receive data

161
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:41,840
sent out from that soyuz spacecraft

162
00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:43,840
during its return to earth and recorded

163
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:46,560
it on the station telemetry system

164
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:48,960
and our final expedition crew member tom

165
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:51,520
marshburn as mentioned is doing an

166
00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:52,479
ultrasound

167
00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:54,880
this morning doing it on his spine and

168
00:05:58,950 --> 00:05:57,120
he'll be assisted by kevin ford it's

169
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:58,960
also firing up the capillary flow

170
00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,280
experiment for a second day in a row now

171
00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,520
uh which you can see here is a fluid

172
00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:05,680
physics experiment that looks at

173
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:08,080
the capillary forces or how fluids move
