00:00:11,876 --> 00:00:14,106 from the International Space Station flight control Room 6 00:00:14,106 --> 00:00:16,166 at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. 7 00:00:16,696 --> 00:00:18,196 We're live in the Mission Control Center. 8 00:00:18,196 --> 00:00:20,956 Where the orbit two team or second sift is on duty working 9 00:00:20,956 --> 00:00:23,246 with the crew in the second half of their day. 10 00:00:24,326 --> 00:00:25,476 The team here just returning. 11 00:00:25,476 --> 00:00:27,746 We've had a brief LOS, or loss of signal 12 00:00:27,746 --> 00:00:29,646 with the Space Station just as a result 13 00:00:29,646 --> 00:00:31,216 of the satellite coverage. 14 00:00:31,216 --> 00:00:34,436 But the team here continuing to monitor systems 15 00:00:34,436 --> 00:00:35,706 and support the crew as needed 16 00:00:36,046 --> 00:00:37,376 as they're working through their day. 17 00:00:38,006 --> 00:00:41,276 All is going smoothly here in the control center as well 18 00:00:41,276 --> 00:00:43,386 as on orbit where the International Space Station's 19 00:00:43,386 --> 00:00:44,096 performing well. 20 00:00:44,446 --> 00:00:46,736 Just crossing from orbital day to
