1 00:00:07,019 --> 00:00:04,170 good day and happy friday welcome to 2 00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:07,029 Mission Control Houston here in the 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:09,040 flight control room Jerry Jason is the 4 00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:10,650 flight director in charge of the team 5 00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:13,660 with Hal get suleman the spacecraft 6 00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:16,510 communicator talking with the crew as it 7 00:00:20,189 --> 00:00:18,640 maneuvers its way through an emergency 8 00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:20,199 drill one of the routine drills we use 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:22,150 to keep the crew on its toes and ready 10 00:00:25,769 --> 00:00:23,730 for anything on board the space station 11 00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:25,779 this has been a very busy and productive 12 00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:28,089 work week for the crew onboard the 13 00:00:31,319 --> 00:00:30,310 International Space Station the crew 14 00:00:33,029 --> 00:00:31,329 worked with a variety of different 15 00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:33,039 experiments and prepared for the 16 00:00:37,229 --> 00:00:35,230 departure of a commercial cargo craft as 17 00:00:39,779 --> 00:00:37,239 well as the arrival of three more crew 18 00:00:41,939 --> 00:00:39,789 members next week NASA's Tom Marshburn 19 00:00:44,279 --> 00:00:41,949 spent part of several days setting up 20 00:00:47,610 --> 00:00:44,289 the Marangoni inside experiment in the 21 00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:47,620 Destiny laboratory marangoni is a 22 00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:49,840 convection experiment that looks at flow 23 00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:51,940 is driven by the president's of surface 24 00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:53,920 tension gradients that can be produced 25 00:00:59,610 --> 00:00:56,559 by temperature differences in the liquid 26 00:01:01,290 --> 00:00:59,620 gas interface the convection in the 27 00:01:03,209 --> 00:01:01,300 liquid bridge of a silicone oil is 28 00:01:05,219 --> 00:01:03,219 generated by heating one disc higher 29 00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:05,229 than the other and then the scientists 30 00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:07,990 observed flow patterns of the fluids the 31 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:09,820 positions and temperatures could be 32 00:01:13,289 --> 00:01:11,770 independently controlled and eventually 33 00:01:16,249 --> 00:01:13,299 this could help us sell learn more about 34 00:01:18,389 --> 00:01:16,259 how he is transferred in microgravity 35 00:01:20,249 --> 00:01:18,399 Marshburn also worked in the Columbus 36 00:01:22,109 --> 00:01:20,259 laboratory to prepare for the first run 37 00:01:23,639 --> 00:01:22,119 of the seedling growth experiment that 38 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:23,649 experiment looks at how plants grow in 39 00:01:28,139 --> 00:01:25,810 space and images of the plants are going 40 00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:28,149 to be captured and downlink to earth and 41 00:01:31,469 --> 00:01:29,590 samples of the plants will later be 42 00:01:33,569 --> 00:01:31,479 harvested and brought back to earth for 43 00:01:35,609 --> 00:01:33,579 scientific analysis could help 44 00:01:38,249 --> 00:01:35,619 researchers with food production studies 45 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:38,259 for long-duration space music missions 46 00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:40,810 of the future as well as to help crop 47 00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:43,180 production on earth he also worked with 48 00:01:47,789 --> 00:01:45,310 the advanced colloids experiment which 49 00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:47,799 looks at removing gravitational jamming 50 00:01:53,069 --> 00:01:50,079 and sedimentation so it's possible to 51 00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:53,079 observe how order arises out of chaos in 52 00:01:58,529 --> 00:01:55,840 these liquid solid mixtures that are 53 00:01:59,700 --> 00:01:58,539 like milk or paint Canadian commander 54 00:02:01,349 --> 00:01:59,710 Chris Hadfield this week's been a 55 00:02:03,230 --> 00:02:01,359 portion of several days working on the 56 00:02:06,349 --> 00:02:03,240 corseting in solid liquid mixtures 57 00:02:09,509 --> 00:02:06,359 experiment experiment looks at how 58 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,519 dendrites form in alloyed metal 59 00:02:13,949 --> 00:02:11,440 materials and is looking at making 60 00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:13,959 stronger better lighter materials for 61 00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:14,350 use 62 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:16,540 in space and on the ground and things 63 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:20,170 like engines and structures he also 64 00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:22,570 worked with changing out samples in the 65 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:24,280 commercial generic processing apparatus 66 00:02:29,130 --> 00:02:26,290 that looks at protein crystal growth and 67 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:29,140 Hadfield also reinstalled the amine 68 00:02:32,370 --> 00:02:30,730 swingbed that's a technology 69 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:32,380 demonstrator that examines whether a 70 00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:34,930 vacuum generated aiming system can 71 00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:36,880 effectively remove carbon dioxide from 72 00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:38,680 the space station's atmosphere using 73 00:02:44,430 --> 00:02:40,540 smaller more efficient regeneration 74 00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:44,440 techniques roman romanenko worked on two 75 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:46,870 russian experiments for matreshka and 76 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:48,910 rocks i CAIA petrushka looks at 77 00:02:52,950 --> 00:02:50,170 radiation levels throughout the space 78 00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:52,960 station complex he also worked to 79 00:02:59,940 --> 00:02:55,360 transfer items into a couple of 80 00:03:01,830 --> 00:02:59,950 different spacecraft and did maintenance 81 00:03:03,870 --> 00:03:01,840 work inside the Russian modules of the 82 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:03,880 station today the entire crew is 83 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:05,650 conducting an onboard emergency training 84 00:03:10,140 --> 00:03:08,650 drill using tablet computers and will 85 00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:10,150 conduct a debrief with a ground team 86 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,220 afterward throughout the week the crew 87 00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:14,560 has worked on and finished all of the 88 00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:16,270 early packing for the upcoming departure 89 00:03:20,130 --> 00:03:18,520 of the Dragon spacecraft which will be 90 00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:20,140 carrying important scientific samples 91 00:03:24,870 --> 00:03:23,020 back to earth for analysis the final 92 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:24,880 research samples will be loaded into 93 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:26,530 dragon
