Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center 5 00:00:25,357 --> 00:00:27,126 in Houston, Texas, where a team 6 00:00:27,126 --> 00:00:30,129 of flight controllers is watching over the activities 7 00:00:30,129 --> 00:00:31,764 of the Expedition 35 8 00:00:31,764 --> 00:00:35,067 and 36 crews aboard the International Space Station. 9 00:00:35,067 --> 00:00:37,503 Flight Director today is Dina Contella, 10 00:00:37,503 --> 00:00:39,305 and she's on console being assisted 11 00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:43,175 by Spacecraft Communicator or CAPCOM, Jeremy Hansen. 12 00:00:43,175 --> 00:00:45,778 It's appropriate for Jeremy to be on console today 13 00:00:45,778 --> 00:00:48,547 with the first Canadian Commander preparing 14 00:00:48,547 --> 00:00:50,116 to depart the Space Station tonight. 15 00:00:50,116 --> 00:00:52,685 Hansen's also a Canadian Space Agency astronaut. 16 00:00:52,685 --> 00:00:55,688 He was picked in May of 2009 as one of two members 17 00:00:55,688 --> 00:00:58,657 of the third Canadian astronaut selection class. 18 00:00:58,657 --> 00:01:01,427 One of 14 members of the 20th NASA astronaut class, 19 00:01:01,427 --> 00:01:06,699 and he graduated from training -- his initial training in 2011. 20 00:01:06,699 --> 00:01:08,501 On board the International Space Station, of course, 21 00:01:08,501 --> 00:01:11,003 we still have six astronauts and cosmonauts. 22 00:01:11,003 --> 00:01:16,008 The Expedition 35 crew is made up of Commander Chris Hadfield, 23 00:01:16,008 --> 00:01:17,843 who has just handed over command 24 00:01:17,843 --> 00:01:20,412 of the station to Pavel Vinogradov. 25 00:01:20,412 --> 00:01:22,915 He's joined by Roman Romanenko 26 00:01:22,915 --> 00:01:26,318 of the Russian Federal Space Agency, Tom Marshburn of NASA, 27

00:04:09,581 --> 00:04:10,649 that have done 76 00:04:10,649 --> 00:04:11,817 such a magnificent job around the world. 77 00:04:11,817 --> 00:04:14,420 I just wanted to momentarily thank the -- 78 00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:16,689 my home agency, the Canadian Space Agency, 79 00:04:16,689 --> 00:04:21,627 who have worked this flight for years and years and supported 80 00:04:21,627 --> 00:04:24,897 so magnificently and have allowed all this to happen 81 00:04:24,897 --> 00:04:25,998 on behalf of my country. 82 00:04:25,998 --> 00:04:31,804 And it's just been an extremely fulfilling 83

mentioned, the Herculean efforts 114 00:05:59,825 --> 00:06:02,594 of mission control here and Chris Hadfield, the Commander -- 115 00:06:02,594 --> 00:06:05,330 off-going Commander -- thanking folks around the world 116 00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:07,800 that have supported their stay on orbit. 117 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,504 A good example of that was this weekend's activity on Thursday. 118 00:06:12,504 --> 00:06:16,675 We saw a major increase to a leak of an ammonia system 119 00:06:16,675 --> 00:06:19,445 out on the P6 truss structure on the Space Station. 120 00:06:19,445 --> 00:06:23,282 Within just a couple of days, the mission control team working 121 00:06:23,282 --> 00:06:25,851 with the crew on orbit was able to put together a space walk 122 00:06:25,851 --> 00:06:28,921 that successfully removed and replaced the pump 123 00:06:28,921 --> 00:06:33,459 and flow control subassembly box on Saturday during a five-hour 124 00:06:33,459 --> 00:06:35,227 and 30-minute space walk that was turned 125 00:06:35,227 --> 00:06:37,296 around probably quicker than any other space walk 126 00:06:37,296 --> 00:06:38,997 on the International Space Station. 127 00:06:38,997 --> 00:06:43,502 Flight controllers here continue to monitor the successful work 128 00:06:43,502 --> 00:06:45,737 of Chris Cassidy and Tom Marshburn, who were outside 129 00:06:45,737 --> 00:06:49,274 for that space walk, as they watched the pump 130 00:06:49,274 --> 00:06:52,544 and flow control subsystem box that was installed. 131 00:06:52,544 --> 00:06:57,883 So far, we're not seeing any instances of the large leak 132 00:06:57,883 --> 00:07:00,619 that we were seeing prior to the space walk. 133 00:07:00,619 --> 00:07:03,589 The older box that was installed 134 00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:06,859 in a stowage platform is showing some sights -- 135 00:07:06,859 --> 00:07:09,695 signs of minor leakage. 136 00:07:09,695 --> 00:07:10,996 It's going to take four 137 00:07:10,996 --> 00:07:13,799 to six weeks before we can actually get all the data we 138 00:07:13,799 --> 00:07:16,468 need and follow the [inaudible] of this leakage to ensure 139 00:07:16,468 --> 00:07:19,571 that this has solved the problem that has been going 140 00:07:19,571 --> 00:07:22,207 on for quite some time in this area 141 00:07:22,207 --> 00:07:23,842 of the ammonia cooling systems 142 00:07:23,842 --> 00:07:26,512 that help cool the electrical generations, 143 00:07:26,512 --> 00:07:30,215 solar array systems, and the International Space Station. 144 00:07:30,215 --> 00:07:33,418 Otherwise, everything is set for tonight's return to Earth 145 00:07:33,418 --> 00:07:35,420 of the Expedition 35, folks. 146 00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:38,891 Commander Chris Hadfield, Soyuz

00:07:45,797 --> 00:07:47,900 on the International Space Station. 150 00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:52,404 Of course, yesterday, Hadfield turned over command 151 00:07:52,404 --> 00:07:54,273 of the station to Pavel Vinogradov 152 00:07:54,273 --> 00:07:56,341 in the change of command ceremony. 153 00:07:56,341 --> 00:07:59,244 And Expedition 36 formally begins tonight 154 00:07:59,244 --> 00:08:01,980
