on the docket for him today is uh

116
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,400
continuing some work that he began

117
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:31,919
yesterday preparing the station's

118
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:34,240
combustion integrated rack for some

119
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:36,080
upcoming experiment work he'll be

120
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,240
installing some alignment guides uh

121
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,479
which help isolate it from

122
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,720
some of the

123
00:04:45,909 --> 00:04:44,000
vibration environment of the

124
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:45,919
international space station that

125
00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:47,360
combustion integrated rack the only

126
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:50,240
combustion research facility on board uh

127
00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:52,160
he'll also be transferring some

128
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:54,400
experiment samples over to the soyuz for

129
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:55,680
return

130
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:57,840
mainly from the immuno experiment which

131
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,560
looks to study the immune responses in

132
00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:02,240
humans during their long-duration space

133
00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:03,759
flights

134
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,479
this study hoping to provide a very

135
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,400
fundamental understanding

136
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:10,400
of the process so scientists on the

137
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:11,840
ground can develop better

138
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:15,199
pharmacological tools to counter

139
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:16,560
any unwanted

140
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,000
immune side effects of these

141
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,800
long-duration space flights

142
00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:23,120
then our final crew member on board nasa

143
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:25,360
