00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:31,279 several post spacewalk tasks to properly 231 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,600 stow away their orlon spacesuits 232 00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:35,360 equipment and tools that were used in 233 00:10:39,430 --> 00:10:37,440 yesterday's excursion 234 00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:39,440 they had also opened the hatch to the 235 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,720 european atv4 cargo ship that had been 236 00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:44,640 closed to support yesterday's spacewalk 237 00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:46,320 out of the piers docking compartment 238 00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:48,880 airlock 239 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,959 nyberg meanwhile today had spent much of 240 00:10:54,870 --> 00:10:52,800 her day working with the inspace 3 241 00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:54,880 experiment 242 00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:59,279 fluids classified as smart materials 243 00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:01,680 transitioning to a solid-like state in 244 00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:10,069 also 245 00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:11,519 today on friday flight engineer 246 00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:13,200 parmitano had been busy with the 247 00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:16,160 recycled tank transfers to tanks in the 248 00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,800 docked european space agency cargo ship 249 00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,720 atv4 250 00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:22,640 here 251 00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:24,320 then spent some time in columbus to 252 00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:26,240 collect saliva examples as part of 253 00:11:32,949 --> 00:11:31,590 while flight engineer chris cassidy 254 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,959 performs some maintenance to the water 255 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:34,640 recovery system 256 00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:38,240 with the recycle tank change out 257 00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:40,399 again the water recovery system converts 258 00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:42,240 urine sweat and condensation into 259 00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:47,350 and each of the crew members will put in 260 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,519 their daily two hours of exercise using 261 00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:51,360 onboard gym equipment that includes a 262 00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:52,800 station bicycle 263 00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:55,279 a treadmill and an advanced resistive 264 00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:57,120 exercise device that simulates 265 00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:58,880 weightlifting here on earth 266 00:12:02,550 --> 00:12:00,560 the crew will then wrap up their day 267 00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:02,560 with a final daily planning conference 268 00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:04,240 with the ground 269 00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:06,880 and is scheduled to go to bed at 4 30 pm 270 00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:08,839 central 271 00:12:13,030 --> 00:12:11,120 time after the crew goes to sleep 272 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,040 tonight robotic ground controllers at 273 00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:15,040 mission control houston will send 274 00:12:20,230 --> 00:12:17,920 commands to move the mobile transporter 275 00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:20,240 rail car to the correct work site for 276 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:23,200 the walk-off of the canada arm 2 robotic 277 00:12:27,829 --> 00:12:25,360 arm from harmony's power and data 278

commanded 281 00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:37,360 robotic movement of space parts from the 282 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:39,200 exposed pallet brought to the station 283 00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:42,720 back on the htv-4 cargo ship 284 00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:44,560 and which now reside on the front porch 285 00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:47,360 of the japanese kibo module to the 286 00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:49,279
