1 00:00:07,829 --> 00:00:05,829 good morning to you from mission control 2 00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:07,839 houston this is space station live for 3 00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:10,639 thursday june 27 2013. this is a live 4 00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:12,320 view inside the international space 5 00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:14,400 station flight control room here at the 6 00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:16,320 johnson space center this team today is 7 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:18,880 being led by flight director brian smith 8 00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:20,000 he is sitting there at the center 9 00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:22,320 console sitting beside him is the capcom 10 00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:24,640 for today that is takuya onishi he will 11 00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:27,119 be the voice of mission control up to 12 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:29,279 the crew of expedition 36 on board the 13 00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,800 orbiting complex here's a look at the 14 00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:32,640 entire crew that's on board 15

00:00:52,000 on the far right-hand side the crew has 24 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,760 been extremely busy today onboard the 25 00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:55,680 orbiting complex vinogradov has been 26 00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:56,559 doing 27 00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:58,239 some inspections on the windows of the 28 00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:59,280 poisk 29 00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,640 and the piers 30 00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:02,399 docking compartments onboard the russian 31 00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:03,520 segment 32 00:01:06,789 --> 00:01:05,519 he has also been working on some 33 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,799 experiments back there in the russian 34 00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,400 segment as well taking a look at how the 35 00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:11,040 crews adapt to being on board 36 00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,640 during their five or six months up on 37 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:14,880 board the space station itself 38 00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:16,880 cassidy and nyberg are working on 39 00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:19,280 transferring cargo out of the european 40 00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:21,200 automated transfer vehicle the albert 41 00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:22,880 einstein you see 42 00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:24,320 nyberg there working on some of the 43 00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:26,960 cargo bags the crew is way ahead of the 44 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:28,799 timeline in terms of how long it's 45 00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,360 taking them to move all this cargo that 46 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:33,920 atv brought up about 7.3 tons of 47 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,920 supplies here just a few 48 00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:37,280 days ago and it will stay on board for 49 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:38,720 the next several months it should be 50 00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:40,000 departing the international space 51 00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:42,720 station in october and then being sent 52 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,159 into a destructive re-entry into the 53 00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,799 earth's atmosphere 54 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:48,720 cassidy also is deploying some radiation 55 00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:50,320 level detectors in the u.s segment that 56 00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,000 is part of a russian experiment that 57 00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:54,159 analyzes the radiation levels onboard 58 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:56,240 the space station and he's also working 59 00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:57,520 with something called the compound 60 00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,439 specific analyzer tool this is something 61 00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,920 that basically analyzes and sniffs the 62 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,680 atmosphere on board the space station to 63 00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:05,680 make sure that nothing is 64 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:07,520 unexpected and that everything is 65 00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,239 according to plan 66 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:12,080 nyberg and parmitano are working on the 67 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:14,080 ocular health experiment today this is 68 00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:15,599 one of the newer experiments on board 69 00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:18,319 that analyzes uh the eyes of the crew 70 00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:19,920 there's been a phenomenon noticed lately 71 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,400 that the eyes tend to change with the 72 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:24,160 crew members on board so researchers on 73 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,520 the ground are taking a look at exactly 74 00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:27,120 what causes that 75 00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,959 and the different astronauts and their 76 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:30,560 different physiologies and how that 77 00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:33,680 could be impacted by that 78 00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,680 parmitano also working with robonaut on 79 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:37,440 board they are doing some checkout 80 00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:39,120 procedures he unstowed it and powered it 81 00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,640 up you see robonaut 82 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:43,280 moving around there 83 00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:44,720 robonaut's going to be turning some 84 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,360 knobs on one of his task boards as this 85 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:49,440 humanoid robot continues 86 00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:51,120 being checked out on board the 87 00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:54,480 international space station itself 88 00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:55,840 the crew also has several different crew 89 00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:57,920 earth observation opportunities today as 90 00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,720 they 91 00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:00,239 take a look down at the planet below and 92 00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:01,760 take some photos and video if they have 93 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,959 time there's several different ones 94 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,400 today including 95 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:07,120 bagram airfield in afghanistan they're 96 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:08,239 going to be passing over parts of 97 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,200 croatia as well as bolivia and also the 98 00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,440 lagoons of new caledonia this is an 99 00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:15,280 interesting part of the world because it 100 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:17,360 is the most diverse concentration of 101 00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:18,640 reef 102 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:20,239 structures located throughout the world 103 00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:21,360 it's actually more diverse than the 104 00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:22,640 great barrier reef which of course 105 00:03:26,149 --> 00:03:23,840 everybody knows off the coast of 106 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:26,159 australia but in terms of coral and fish 107 00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:27,920 diversity it is actually more diverse 108 00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,640 than the great barrier reef itself and 109 00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,400 of course we would be we would be remiss 110 00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:34,159 here in houston if we did not show you 111 00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:35,519 the photo that the crew took earlier 112 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,319 this week of the great state of texas 113 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:40,400 you see the city of houston our hometown 114 00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,920 there at the bottom part of the screen 115 00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:43,840 you can see the gulf of mexico 116 00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:46,080 the southeastern cities of beaumont and 117 00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:47,599 parts of port arthur 118 00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:49,120 you see the dallas for ortho metroplex 119 00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,560 up there at the north there's some 120 00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,319 clouds and thunderstorms over that part 121 00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:54,640 of the area and into oklahoma you also 122 00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:56,640 see austin and san antonio there and the 123 00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:58,400 left and if you look dead center in the 124 00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,080 screen that is the city of college
