1 00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:05,180 [ Music ] 2 00:00:05,180 --> 00:00:07,230 It's Tuesday, June 18th. 3 00:00:07,230 --> 00:00:11,220 The Expedition 36 crew members have refocused their efforts 4 00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:15,130 today to begin the operations with the Albert Einstein, 5 00:00:15,130 --> 00:00:18,440 the European Space Agency's fourth automated transfer 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,000 vehicle, which arrived 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,840 at the [inaudible] the International Space Station this 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,610 past Saturday morning. 9 00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:27,870 Monday's planned hatch opening was postponed, 10 00:00:27,870 --> 00:00:30,350 as the mission managers discussed the potential 11 00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:33,460 contamination issue and ultimately they decided 12 00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:35,330 that once the hatches were opened, 13 00:00:35,330 --> 00:00:38,950 they would have the crew treat 21 cargo bags 14 00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:41,480 for possible mold growth. 15 00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,710 That decision made this morning, Commander, Pavel Vinogradov 16 00:00:44,710 --> 00:00:48,730 and Flight Engineer, Luca Parmitano, went back to work 17 00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:53,180 at the [inaudible] and they opened the hatch into the ATV 18 00:00:53,180 --> 00:00:56,590 at 3:40 Houston time this morning. 19 00:00:56,590 --> 00:01:00,650 They got a look inside and beginning immediately set 20 00:01:00,650 --> 00:01:04,280 up some air ducts so that the stations environmental control 21 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,240 system could go to work to clean the atmosphere inside the 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,080 unmanned cargo ship throughout the day today. 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,600 Final ingress procedures are currently underway. 24 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,310 It's expected that later today the crew members will get busy 25 00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:24,760 to start unloading 7.3 tons of cargo that were delivered. 26 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,000 That includes the air and water, and propellant to the station, 27 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,330 plus science experiments and other hardware 28 00:01:31,330 --> 00:01:34,070 for different operations on board. 29 00:01:34,070 --> 00:01:37,270 Once the hatch opening activities were completed this 30 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:39,950 morning, Flight Engineer Luca Parmitano, 31 00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:43,300 updated folks back home in Europe, but the operations 32 00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:46,140 of the European Space Agency's cargo ship 33 00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:49,480 in an interview conducted with euronews, 34 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,210 the rescheduled ATV ops today did prompt a few other changes 35 00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:56,030 to the Tuesday's schedule. 36 00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:59,160 That included having Flight Engineer, Chris Cassidy, 37 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,510 assist Flight Engineer, Karen Nyberg, 38 00:02:01,510 --> 00:02:04,760 with the spinal ultrasound operations. 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,310 The crew members take ultrasound images of their spine to help 40 00:02:09,310 --> 00:02:12,390 in an assessment of the health risk resulting from changes 41 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:14,560 to the spine as a result of being 42 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,280 in the microgravity environment. 43 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,080 There'll be additional operations 44 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,210 with the spinal ultrasound with Parmitano and Nyberg coming 45 00:02:22,210 --> 00:02:23,590 up later on in the week. 46 00:02:23,590 --> 00:02:27,700 After that this morning, Cassidy moved on to an inspection 47 00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:30,060 of the portable emergency equipment 48 00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:32,760 that breathing apparatus and fire extinguishers, 49 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,580 and things of that sort. 50 00:02:34,580 --> 00:02:39,180 He also continued the space suit battery charging operations 51 00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:42,570 in advance of next month's planned U.S. spacewalks 52 00:02:42,570 --> 00:02:44,860 that he'll conduct with Parmitano. 53 00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:47,300 Nyberg spent her day on a range 54 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:51,000 of routine maintenance tasks throughout the station. 55 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,010 There is a spacewalk scheduled for this coming Monday, 56 00:02:54,010 --> 00:02:57,310 June 24th, by flight engineers Theodore Yurchikhin 57 00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:59,190 and Alexander Misurkin. 58 00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:03,580 Today they did a routine test of their own cardiac function 59 00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:06,510 by exercising on a stationary bicycle. 60 00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:11,100 That concluded, they moved on to properly sizing their spacesuits 61 00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,970 and conducting leak checks, preparing a variety of equipment 62 00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:17,980 that they will use on their tasks next Monday. 63 00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:19,150 They'll be going outside 64 00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:23,460 to replace a fluid control valve panel on the Zary Module, 65 00:03:23,460 --> 00:03:26,300 and installing clamps there to hold cables 66 00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:30,210 that will bring power from the U.S. segment of the station 67 00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:33,340 to a new, Russian laboratory module that is due to arrive 68 00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:35,540 at the station later on this year. 69 00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:37,870 The spacewalk Monday also includes time 70 00:03:37,870 --> 00:03:41,660 for the crew members to remove and install experiments that are 71 00:03:41,660 --> 00:03:44,320 on the outside of the Zvesda Module. 72 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,240 All six crew members are expected to finish 73 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,520 up the day today with an automated transfer vehicle 74 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,750 emergency response plan review. 75 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:56,950 Then they will look forward to more unloading 76 00:03:56,950 --> 00:03:59,120 of Albert Einstein, and getting to work
