1 00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:12,629 it is tuesday april 23rd and science has 2 00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:14,559 been at the top of the agenda today for 3 00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:17,119 the expedition 35 crew on board the 4 00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:19,199 international space station commander 5 00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:21,520 chris hadfield started his day with a 6 00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:24,160 blood draw for the experiment called 7 00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:26,400 vascular that is a canadian 8 00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:28,480 investigation that's looking into the 9 00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:31,199 long-term effect of zero gravity on the 10 00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:33,520 blood vessels 11 00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:36,079 hadfield was been tested before flight 12 00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:38,320 now being tested during flight and will 13 00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:40,559 be tested after the flight as well 14 00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:43,680 the current samples being stowed in the 15 00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:46,399 minus 80 degrees laboratory freezer 16 00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,719 that's in the kibo module for later 17 00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:50,879 return to earth and the study by the 18 00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:53,840 vascular investigators hadfield then 19 00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:55,520 moved on to work in the columbus 20 00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:57,920 laboratory module this morning he 21 00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,199 rotated the express rack 3 out of the 22 00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,239 aft wall of columbus and went to work to 23 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:06,560 replace a water valve in the cooling 24 00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:10,080 system that was a lengthy task that took 25 00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:12,640 him took up all of his morning and 26 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:14,640 pushed both of his daily exercise 27 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:19,360 sessions as in off into his afternoon 28 00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,520 for his uh crewmates pavel vinogradov 29 00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:23,759 and roman romanenko they started their 30 00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:26,960 day with a drill at the toru system they 31 00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:29,759 practice the potential use of a remote 32 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,000 control docking system to bring a 33 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:34,960 progress ship in to dock at the zvezda 34 00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:37,680 modules aft docking port just in case 35 00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:39,600 the automated docking system doesn't 36 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:42,399 work properly the next progress vehicle 37 00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:44,560 is scheduled to launch from the baikonur 38 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,159 cosmodrome in kazakhstan at 5 12 houston 39 00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,560 time on wednesday morning and dock to 40 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,799 the station on friday morning you'll 41 00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:55,040 have live coverage of the launch and of 42 00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:57,200 the docking on nasa television and 43 00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:58,799 nasa.gov 44 00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:01,360 both vinogradov and romanenko had most 45 00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:03,439 of the rest of the day off duty than to 46 00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:05,439 make up for their 47 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:08,000 working this past weekend to clean up 48 00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,560 from last friday's spacewalk 49 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,319 flight engineer chris cassidy 50 00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:14,480 concentrated his work at the multi 51 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,280 microgravity sciences glovebox 52 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:19,680 he was setting up for and then has been 53 00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:22,800 executing test burns for the experiment 54 00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:25,599 bass that's burning and suppression of 55 00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:26,640 solids 56 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:29,360 bass is examining the characteristics of 57 00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,160 ignition and extinction of a range of 58 00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:34,560 different fuel samples the intent there 59 00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:37,040 is to contribute to the computational 60 00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:39,920 models for brand new fire detection and 61 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:41,599 suppression systems 62 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:43,840 and therefore to guide the development 63 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,239 of strategies for putting out accidental 64 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,560 fires in a spacecraft 65 00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:50,560 flight engineer tom marshburn spent most 66 00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:53,040 of tuesday working at the capillary flow 67 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:55,840 experiment that's actually a suite of 68 00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,080 experiments that are investigating the 69 00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:00,319 flow of fluids in the microgravity 70 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:03,200 environment especially inside containers 71 00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:07,120 that have unusual or complex geometries 72 00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:09,200 the results those experiments will be 73 00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:11,360 providing data to the people who are 74 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,879 designing programs that model fluid flow 75 00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:16,800 those models are going to be used by the 76 00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:19,760 designers of low gravity fluid transfer 77 00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,000 systems we're going to try to improve 78 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:25,040 the fluid flow on board spacecraft of 79 00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:26,239 the future 80 00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:28,000 flight engineer alexander misurkin 81 00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:30,239 started tuesday with some computer 82 00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:32,480 software maintenance work and has spent 83 00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:34,560 most of the rest of the day with pump 84 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:37,200 panel maintenance in the rasvieth module 85 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,360 as well as russian systems maintenance 86 00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:41,440 inside zvezda 87 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,080 all six crew members also had the daily 88 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:46,480 exercise sessions that are designed to 89 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:49,280 maintain their overall physical fitness 90 00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:51,680 as well as combat the loss of bone and 91 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:54,319 muscle mass that occurs to people who 92 00:03:59,670 --> 00:03:57,599 spend extended periods of time in space 93 00:04:02,229 --> 00:03:59,680 in an environment where there is not 94 00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:02,239 even gravity for their bones or muscles 95 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:03,680 to work against 96 00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:05,120 that's going to become 97 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:06,959 important for all of the crew members 98 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:09,760 especially more important now for chris 99 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,000 hadfield roman romanenko and tom 100 00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:14,720 marshburn as they prepare to return to 101 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,120 earth in a few weeks their mission 102 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,880 onboard the international space station
