chicken and misurkin had wrapped up a

27
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:11,439
spacewalk earlier this week six hours 34

28
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:13,200
minutes both of them

29
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:14,720
venturing outside the russian segment of

30
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:16,240
the international space station they

31
00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:17,600
still had some

32
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:20,320
cleanup activities today also had a

33
00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:21,920
quick chat with the ground team to sort

34
00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,640
of take a look back at the spacewalk and

35
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,720
talk about how it worked and also to

36
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:28,560
look ahead at the next spacewalk that's

37
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:31,119
coming up in august this crew had quite

38
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:32,960
a number of activities that they needed

39
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:35,200
to get accomplished on monday

40
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,880
they pretty much checked off everything

41
00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:38,479
off the list the majority of this

42
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,720
activity is getting ready for the

43
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:42,560
brand new russian multipurpose

44
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:44,240
laboratory module

45
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:46,159
that module is going to be coming up

46
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:48,159
to the international space station later

47
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:49,360
on this year

48
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:51,040
it's actually going to be replacing the

49
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,720
piers docking compartment which is back

50
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:54,159
there on the russian segment that is

51
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,360
actually going to be

52
00:01:59,190 --> 00:01:57,680
jettisoned at some point and we'll say

53
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:59,200
farewell to the international space

54
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:00,799
station that is one of the oldest pieces

55
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:02,799
of the orbiting complex but this

56
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:04,640
multi-purpose laboratory module that is

57
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,680
coming up

58
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:07,360
will offer a little bit more room for

59
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:08,640
experiments

60
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:11,840
and also vehicle arrivals and departures

61
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:16,070
they also opened up the hatch study in

62
00:02:20,229 --> 00:02:17,840
between the zvezda service module and

63
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:20,239
the progress 50 that is part of the

64
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,840
international space station you see it

65
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,360
back there that actually is attached to

66
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,520
the piers docking compartment currently

67
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:27,120
that progress got up to the station with

68
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,520
two and a half tons of supplies

69
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:31,040
back in february

70
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,440
it will depart coming up in july and

71
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:35,440
will be replaced by yet another progress

72
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:37,360
here in the next couple of months

73
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:39,200
bringing more supplies and food and

74
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:46,470
things also beginning to get ramped up

75
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:48,400
for the upcoming two spacewalks that

76
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:49,840
will be conducted by chris cassidy and

77
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:51,840
luca parmitano there is cassidy working

78
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:53,280
with karen nyberg

79
00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,160
in the quest airlock earlier today

80
00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:58,159
cassidy parmitano and nyberg all three

81
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,680
of them have been working inside that

82
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:01,599
portion of the international space

83
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:03,120
station to get the spacesuits and the

84
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,680
tools ready to go for those upcoming

85
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:07,840
spacewalks the first one will be on july

86
00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,800
9th the second one will be on july 16th

87
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,560
we will have a news conference from here

88
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:14,959
at the johnson space center on july 2nd

89
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,319
to take a look at both of those

90
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:18,800
spacewalks that will air at 1 pm central

91
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,360
time 2 pm eastern time here on nasa

92
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:23,519
television the david korth who is the

93
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,560
flight director for both of those

94
00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:26,959
spacewalks as well as both spacewalk

95
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,799
officers for each one of them

96
00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:31,280
will be here as well to look ahead at

97
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:34,239
what's on task for both chris cassidy

98
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:36,159
and luca parmitano as they're ready to

99
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:38,799
step outside the u.s segment of the

100
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:40,159
international space station they have

101
00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:41,440
quite a number of activities they need

102
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:42,879
to get accomplished

103
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:48,869
transfer work is also continuing in

104
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,720
between the albert einstein automated

105
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:52,159
transfer vehicle which is back on the

106
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,760
russian end of the international space

107
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:55,680
station that is the service module you

108
00:03:59,910 --> 00:03:58,319
see they're down below the atv

109
00:04:02,070 --> 00:03:59,920
this brought up more than seven tons of

110
00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:02,080
supplies to the international space

111
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:03,599
station crew

112
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:06,159
uh 7.3 tons to be exact you see the

113
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,680
entire layout of atv there on the screen

114
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,519
the crew is way ahead of the timeline in

115
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:13,599
terms of the cargo transfer they're more

116
00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:14,480
than

117
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:16,160
50 percent complete

118
00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,519
with everything and they're taking

119
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,359
basically about half the amount of time

120
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:21,519
that they have allocated to them

121
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,440
so they're working fast and feverishly

122
00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:25,120
to get everything

123
00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:27,759
unloaded from the einstein atv they will

124
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,759
pack it full of items that are no longer

125
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,600
needed and ultimately

126
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:33,680
that atv will be undocked and deorbited

127
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:42,310
outside the international space station

128
00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:43,520
today there's also some robotic

129
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:45,280
activities taking place there is a good

130
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:47,440
shot of the dexter robot on the end of

131
00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:48,880
the station's

132
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,479
uh giant 58-foot robotic arm

133
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:54,320
dexter is being put through the paces

134
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,240
this week that activity actually started

135
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:57,840
yesterday but today

136
00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:59,120
they're going to be testing to see if

137
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,280
dexter can open up some of the bay doors

138
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:03,680
on the outside of the station's truss

139
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:05,680
specifically there on the s zero truss

140
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:06,960
that's the starboard truss sort of

141
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:07,919
toward the

142
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:09,680
middle of the station but you see these

143
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:12,800
arms being moved dexter's arms are

144
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,199
fairly long they're about 11 feet each

145
00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:17,360
dexter itself is about to 12 feet tall

146
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:20,479
so quite a very large robot there on the

147
00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:22,080
outside of the station that

148
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:23,840
hopefully once it gets tested and checks

149
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:25,759
out can be used to perform

150
00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:28,960
uh some repair and replace techniques

151
00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:31,280
of different items such as the sort of

152
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:32,880
the circuit boxes that are part of the

153
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:34,000
station's

154
00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:36,000
power structure uh maybe one of these

155
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,600
days it could be used to replace some

156
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:40,000
ammonia tanks or anything such as that

157
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:41,199
that the crews have had to do in the

158
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:44,479
past but dexter's checkout will continue

159
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:45,680
through the rest of this week on

160
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:47,199
tomorrow on thursday they're going to be

161
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:48,080
checking

162
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:50,240
to see if it can remove some bolts

163
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,160
using a new technique that is typically

164
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:54,240
not used uh and then on friday they will

165
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:56,240
stow it back into its safe configuration

166
00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:57,440
and hopefully all those checkout

167
00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:58,720
activities will go

168
00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:03,029
finally today the crew has several

169
00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,400
different crew earth observation

170
00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:06,400
opportunities down on the ground this is

171
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:08,160
a chance for them to take a look at the

172
00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,440
planet below

173
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:11,199
and to take photos and video if they can

174
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:12,960
as they pass over certain

175
00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:14,960
man-made and natural phenomena and

176
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,960
landmarks

177
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:18,000
they're going to be passing over parts

178
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:20,240
of rwanda today as well as damascus

179
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:21,280
syria

180
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:22,479
they're going to be passing over parts

181
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:24,880
of armenia as well as andorra

182
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:27,440
and also the sierra el tigre which is a

183
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,960
section of mexico

184
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:31,120
and also over the state of kansas here

185
00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,720
in the united states if you would like

186
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:34,400
to take a look at any of these photos at

187
00:06:37,350 --> 00:06:35,440
the crew

188
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,360
