studies 86 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:52,400 material fatigue in the space 87 00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:53,760 environment 88 00:03:58,070 --> 00:03:56,319 results of this study will provide data 89 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,080 for estimating the lifespan of 90 00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:00,480 structural elements for current and 91 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,190 thursday of this week the crew protect 92 00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:10,080 continue to prepare uh further for 93 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,200 next tuesday's spacewalk by recharging 94 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:15,120 the suit batteries for the emu's the 95 00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,000 extra vehicular mobility units and also 96 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:20,479 reviewing their overview plan for the 97 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:23,440 spacewalk and conducting a long distance 98 00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:25,360 conference with the eva team on the 99 00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:27,280 ground as well 100 00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:29,120 the week will close out close out on 101 00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:31,759 friday with cassidy and parmitano 102 00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,400 continuing spacesuit configuration work 103 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,400 and get gathering their tools for next 104 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:38,479 tuesday's eva 105 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:40,400 that's scheduled to begin just after 7 106 00:04:48,390 -->
