1
00:00:14,709 --> 00:00:13,190
this is mission control houston and we

2
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:14,719
want to welcome you to today's space

3
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:17,440
station live it is monday may 6 2013

4
00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:18,880
this is a live view inside the flight

5
00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:21,039
control room for the international space

6
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:23,039
station today the flight director who's

7
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:24,560
in charge of this team

8
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:26,400
is ed van sice he is sitting at the

9
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:28,800
center console sitting beside him

10
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:31,199
is serena anand she is today's capcom

11
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:32,800
and will be the voice

12
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:35,600
up to the crew of expedition 35 onboard

13
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:37,760
the orbiting complex

14
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:39,520
the crews had a very busy

15
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:42,000
day today chris hadfield roman romanenko

16
00:00:45,590 --> 00:00:43,920
and tom marshburn who are on the right

17
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:45,600
hand side of the screen they're getting

18
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:46,800
ready to

19
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,559
land back on earth coming up in the

20
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:50,079
middle of may they had a drill this

21
00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:51,120
morning

22
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,879
for their upcoming soyuz landing they're

23
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:54,320
going to be traveling back home in the

24
00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:56,480
soyuz 33 that is the

25
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:58,000
vehicle that brought them up to the

26
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:59,039
station

27
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:00,960
back almost five months ago back in

28
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:04,000
december of 2012.

29
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,760
they spent about two hours practicing

30
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:07,600
the steps that they will take coming up

31
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,799
here in

32
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:10,240
just a few days as they get ready to

33
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,080
come back to earth and make sure that

34
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:14,560
everything is all smooth and ready to go

35
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:16,880
for that they also did a leak check on

36
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:18,640
their circle launch and entry suits

37
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,320
everything checked out

38
00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:22,400
according to plan in terms of that

39
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:24,799
activity as well their landing

40
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,280
is coming up on may 13th

41
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:29,119
uh here in the united states they're

42
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:30,880
going to be landing in the southern zone

43
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:32,240
of kazakhstan that's a little bit

44
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:35,200
different than the typical northern zone

45
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:36,560
but their landing is going to take place

46
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:39,200
at 9 31 pm central time that you see

47
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:40,479
there at the bottom of the screen

48
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:41,840
there's an entire

49
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:43,600
list of activities taking place around

50
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:44,799
that landing we're going to have several

51
00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:46,240
different broadcasts that day on may

52
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:49,759
13th beginning at 2 30 pm central time

53
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:52,399
with hatch closure coverage as the crews

54
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:54,000
say farewell to one another the hatches

55
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,680
will be closed about 20 minutes after

56
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:57,600
that and then our undocking coverage

57
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,240
will begin at 5 45 pm central time with

58
00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:03,040
the actual undocking taking place at 608

59
00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,560
and then our landing coverage will begin

60
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:07,200
at 8 15 pm central time with landing

61
00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:11,200
again at 9 31 pm central time with our

62
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,319
live coverage of that activity af this

63
00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:16,480
crew comes home after five months up on

64
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,319
board the international space station

65
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:22,080
chris hadfield also working on an

66
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,599
experiment today called spinal

67
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,680
ultrasound this has been taking place

68
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,599
during this expedition and also previous

69
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:29,280
ones it's important because the crew

70
00:02:33,509 --> 00:02:31,599
members actually get a little bit taller

71
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:33,519
while they're up in space and

72
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:34,879
there's no gravity pulling down on your

73
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:37,440
muscles and bones so to take a look at

74
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:38,480
exactly

75
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:42,800
happens the crews actually use an

76
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,560
ultrasound a small portable ultrasound

77
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:46,640
like what you find here on earth to take

78
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:48,080
a look at their backs and their spines

79
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:49,920
to see how they're extending and

80
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,599
behaving up in space

81
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,599
that not only has impacts to future

82
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:56,000
crews as flight doctors insurgents here

83
00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:57,200
on the ground better understand that

84
00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,480
phenomena

85
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,239
but it also actually has

86
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:02,560
impacts here on earth as well because

87
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:05,120
when mris needed to be need to be done

88
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,879
here on earth that obviously anybody

89
00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:08,239
who's ever had that done takes a very

90
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,159
large machine that can't always take

91
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:12,879
place especially out in remote areas but

92
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:15,200
this technology by using this small

93
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:16,400
ultrasound

94
00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:18,000
portable device up on board the

95
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:19,519
international space station could

96
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:22,319
actually lead to smaller more portable

97
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:26,080
devices for scanning here on earth

98
00:03:29,589 --> 00:03:27,360
while hadfield is working on that

99
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,599
pavlovan agradoff is working on

100
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,360
unloading some cargo from the progress

101
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,360
51 which is currently docked on the back

102
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:35,200
end of the zvezda service module you see

103
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,239
there on the right hand side of the

104
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:41,350
misurkin alexander misurkin is also

105
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:44,080
going to be helping him on that activity

106
00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:45,760
later on this afternoon paul vinogradov

107
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:47,760
will work on a russian experiment called

108
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:48,959
uragan

109
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:51,360
this is a crew earth observation

110
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:53,040
activity back in the russian segment

111
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,640
they take pictures of the planet below

112
00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:56,400
taking a look at different man-made and

113
00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:57,439
natural

114
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,360
phenomena down on the ground help study

115
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,319
the earth to see how it's changing

116
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,080
chris cassidy is busy today working on

117
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:06,159
what's called bcat6 this stands for

118
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:08,560
binary colloidal alloy test very long

119
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,360
and fancy title but it looks at how

120
00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:13,280
gases and liquids come together and

121
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:14,400
separate

122
00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:16,000
up in space it's a little bit different

123
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:17,440
than what happens here on the ground but

124
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:18,720
by looking

125
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:20,720
at the underlying physics of fluids and

126
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,800
how they behave and how they separate it

127
00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:24,560
could actually enable the development of

128
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,520
less expensive and longer shelf life

129
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,840
for household products foods and

130
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:31,280
medicines

131
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:32,720
that experiment was actually launched

132
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:34,880
back on space shuttle discovery's final

133
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:37,280
mission sts-133 back in the beginning

134
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:39,919
part of 2 2011.

135
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,240
it is run by procter and gamble and

136
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:43,919
harvard university those are the two

137
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:47,600
principal investigators of because 6.

138
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:48,880
later today cassidy is going to be

139
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:50,720
watching a training video on some

140
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,560
upcoming robonaut activities getting

141
00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,800
familiar with what's going to be taking

142
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:57,199
place with that also some other robotic

143
00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,800
activities taking place right now on the

144
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:01,039
outside of the space station you see the

145
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,800
dexter robot there in the center of the

146
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:04,880
screen on the left hand side

147
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,039
is also what is known as the robotic

148
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:09,600
refueling mission or rrm

149
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:12,320
this is a large washing machine sized

150
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:14,720
box that's about 550 pounds it measures

151
00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:18,000
33 by 43 by 45 inches

152
00:05:22,629 --> 00:05:20,479
it has all kinds of different tools and

153
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:22,639
other mechanical objects on the outside

154
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:23,600
of it

155
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,039
what it does

156
00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:27,840
is take a look at how in the future some

157
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:30,160
sort of automatic robotic spacecraft

158
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,840
could fly up to

159
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:33,360
the satellites that are way far out

160
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,880
there in space about twenty two thousand

161
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,800
miles out in space and could service

162
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,400
them because as of right now all those

163
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,560
satellites that are up there are limited

164
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:42,800
by basically how much fuel is on board

165
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:45,039
because once the fuel runs out that's it

166
00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:46,479
also if they break down there's really

167
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:48,560
no way to service them so the team that

168
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:51,039
helped come up with the tools and the

169
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,400
method for how the hubble space

170
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:54,240
telescope was serviced throughout

171
00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:55,919
several different missions

172
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:56,960
has

173
00:06:01,990 --> 00:05:59,840
invented this testing platform for the

174
00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:02,000
station's robotic arm with the dexter

175
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,759
attached on the end to go out there on

176
00:06:06,550 --> 00:06:05,039
the station's

177
00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:06,560
starboard trust on the right-hand side

178
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:09,039
that is the home of rrm and test out all

179
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:11,280
different sorts of things like refueling

180
00:06:14,629 --> 00:06:12,880
cutting some wires and some other

181
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,639
activities but this activity that's been

182
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:16,080
going on for the past several days and

183
00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:17,600
will continue this week

184
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:19,199
takes a look at how

185
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:21,919
the rrm can actually remove some kapton

186
00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:22,880
tape

187
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:25,039
open up some what's called mli this is

188
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:26,720
multi-layer insulation which is

189
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:28,319
basically what covers all kinds of

190
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:30,800
satellites and spacecraft and to cut

191
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:33,120
some wires and close up the mli which

192
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:35,440
those are obviously some very important

193
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:37,199
tactics that would be needed in the

194
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,319
future

195
00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:40,240
as some sort of

196
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,319
vehicle moved up and would service these

197
00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:44,319
satellites so this rrm

198
00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:45,759
which again is on the starboard truss

199
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,759
the right-hand side of the international

200
00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:49,680
space station will take place being run

201
00:06:53,589 --> 00:06:51,759
by ground controllers here on earth and

202
00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:53,599
of course the crew is monitoring the

203
00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:55,759
progress if you would like to learn more

204
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:57,199
about rrm

205
00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:59,039
or any of the other experiments that the

206
00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:00,720
crew is working on today and this week

207
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:02,720
we obviously invite you to log on to
