1 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:18,070 this is mission control houston the 2 00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:20,000 international space station's expedition 3 00:00:25,509 --> 00:00:23,279 to 36 crew is wrapping up a busy week on 4 00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,519 orbit one in which they have split most 5 00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:27,599 of their attention between things coming 6 00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,640 in and things going out the station 7 00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:32,640 received more than seven tons of 8 00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:35,600 supplies when automated transfer vehicle 9 00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,480 number four docked to the zvezda module 10 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,160 on june 15th 11 00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,559 station commander pavel vinogradov and 12 00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:44,559 european space agency 13 00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:47,120 astronaut flight engineer luca parmitano 14 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:50,239 opened the hatch to the albert einstein 15 00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:52,960 on june 18th and the crew members 16 00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:55,120 started unloading the cargo which 17 00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:57,760 included materials ranging from new 18 00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,480 hardware like a new water pump assembly 19 00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:02,879 for the columbus laboratory module 20 00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:05,519 to science experiment material 21 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,000 like the phases investigation which 22 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:10,080 looks into how emulsions maintain their 23 00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:12,720 structures in microgravity as well as 24 00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:14,799 clothes and other supplies for the crew 25 00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:17,280 members themselves along with air and 26 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,000 water and propellant the unloading 27 00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:22,400 operations on the european space agency 28 00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,880 provided cargo vehicle continued 29 00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,880 throughout the week 30 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:28,960 so did preparation for two crew members 31 00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,560 to exit the station on monday june 24th 32 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:34,799 flight engineers alexander misurkin and 33 00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:37,280 fyodor yurchikhin will be going outside 34 00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:39,759 next week to replace a fluid flow 35 00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,560 control valve panel on the exterior of 36 00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:44,240 the zarya module 37 00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:47,439 to install clamps there for later cables 38 00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:49,600 that will route power from the u.s 39 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:51,759 segment of the station to a new russian 40 00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:53,759 laboratory module which is expected to 41 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,920 arrive on orbit late this year 42 00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:57,920 they're also going to remove and install 43 00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,079 experiments on the exterior of the 44 00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:02,799 zvezda module and inspect and take 45 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:05,040 samples of thermal insulation on the 46 00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:07,200 outside of the russian modules 47 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:09,119 all week long they and their crewmates 48 00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:10,239 have been getting ready for that 49 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,680 spacewalk 50 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,680 yurchikhin and misurkin studied the 51 00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:15,760 timeline they've gotten familiar with 52 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:17,120 the work sites 53 00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:18,720 through the use of graphics in a 54 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,800 computer training program they've 55 00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:22,800 checked out the integrity of the orlando 56 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,720 space suits that they'll wear and 57 00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:26,400 outfitted those suits with all the 58 00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:28,640 necessary equipment including helmet 59 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:31,040 lights and cameras that have borrowed 60 00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:33,680 from the us space suits 61 00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:36,080 on friday they got in their orland suits 62 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:38,480 and completed a training exercise as one 63 00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,160 of their final preparations for the 64 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:42,640 spacewalk which is scheduled to begin on 65 00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:47,760 monday the 24th at 8 30 a.m houston time 66 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,360 this week the crew members worked with a 67 00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:51,680 variety of experiments too 68 00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:54,000 on monday flight engineer chris cassidy 69 00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:56,720 took part in the first ever test of how 70 00:03:02,309 --> 00:02:59,280 well a crew member on orbit can remotely 71 00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,319 control a robot on the surface of the 72 00:03:06,149 --> 00:03:04,959 heavenly body about which he or she is 73 00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:06,159 operating 74 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,040 for this test cassidy sent commands to a 75 00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,200 rover that was located on the ground at 76 00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:13,920 the ames research center in california 77 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,239 and developers are working out bugs in 78 00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:18,640 the system a system that's intended to 79 00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,200 help an astronaut that was flying around 80 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:23,519 the moon or an asteroid or some other 81 00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:26,560 body use remote control to explore those 82 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:29,519 worlds or to build structures on them 83 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:33,280 that will support future human explorers 84 00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:35,440 throughout the week cassidy parmitano 85 00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:37,840 and flight engineer karen nyberg worked 86 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,720 with the spinal ultrasound experiment 87 00:03:45,509 --> 00:03:42,720 investigators want to know more about 88 00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:45,519 how an astronaut's spine is impacted by 89 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,680 being in weightlessness and they use 90 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:50,080 ultrasound to gather data throughout the 91 00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,120 mission it'll be studied along with data 92 00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,120 that is gathered pre-flight and 93 00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:57,519 post-flight for comparison's sake it 94 00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:00,000 also the spinal ultrasound experiment 95 00:04:05,110 --> 00:04:02,879 also has the added benefit of developing 96 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:05,120 the technology and examination 97 00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:08,400 techniques that can be used by people on 98 00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:10,799 the earth in areas of the planet that 99 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:13,120 don't have access to a large and 100 00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:15,760 expensive mri machine to do the same 101 00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:17,120 thing 102 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,799 crew members had a couple of chances 103 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,359 during the week to talk directly to us 104 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:23,280 earthlings about what they're doing on 105 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:24,160 orbit 106 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,240 on tuesday parmitano conducted an 107 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:28,560 interview with euro news about the 108 00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:31,120 arrival of the european cargo ship and 109 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:32,960 his early experiences on board the 110 00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:35,680 station and on wednesday cassidy and 111 00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:38,000 nyberg answered questions about life on 112 00:04:42,550 --> 00:04:40,240 orbit from students who are gathered at 113 00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:42,560 the kansas cosmosphere 114 00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:44,800 each day throughout the week 115 00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:47,120 vinogradov and his crew also took care 116 00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:49,600 of themselves and their ship they spent 117 00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,560 a couple of hours each day exercising to 118 00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:54,880 maintain their overall physical fitness 119 00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:56,880 and to fight off the harmful effects of 120 00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,360 spending a prolonged period of time in 121 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,600 the low earth orbit environment they 122 00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:03,840 also conducted the routine maintenance 123 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,400 on station systems to keep all of them 124 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:08,400 in good shape to support their science 125 00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:09,440 mission 126 00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:11,039 in the weekend they'll all get a chance 127 00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:13,919 for some off-duty time to rest up to 128 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,160 have conferences with their families on 129 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:18,240 earth but also to get ready for the 130 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:20,720 focal point of monday a six-hour
