1 00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:11,030 good morning and welcome to mission 2 00:00:15,829 --> 00:00:14,320 control houston and space station live 3 00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:15,839 we're here inside the international 4 00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:17,760 space station flight control room where 5 00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:19,279 the flight control team is watching over 6 00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:26,230 leading that team is flight director 7 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:29,199 mike lammers with astronaut aki hoshide 8 00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:31,920 acting as capcom 9 00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:33,760 with one day left until the next russian 10 00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:36,160 soyuz launch in orbital science's new 11 00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,320 cygnus cargo vehicle delayed until after 12 00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:40,640 that the expedition 37 crew is making 13 00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:41,600 their way 14 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,680 through one last day of normal science 15 00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:45,920 and maintenance work before traffic to 16 00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:48,320 the station picks up again 17 00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,840 crews now more than halfway through 18 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:51,760 their day which begin at 1 am central 19 00:00:57,510 --> 00:00:53,760 time they're currently orbiting about 20 00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:57,520 260 miles above the southern ocean 21 00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:58,399 heading 22 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,520 northeast towards indonesia 23 00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:03,280 they are russian commander fyodor 24 00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:05,840 yurchikhin u.s flight engineer karen 25 00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:07,840 nyberg and european space agency flight 26 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:10,479 engineer luca parmitano 27 00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,240 they arrived at the space station on may 28 00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:14,720 28th and have now spent 118 days in 29 00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:15,920 space 30 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,119 since the other half of what was then 31 00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:21,840 the expedition 36 crew left on september 32 00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,759 10th they'll be getting some company 33 00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:25,439 soon with the soyuz launch scheduled for 34 00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:27,360 tomorrow 35 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:29,280 that will be delivering flight engineers 36 00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:32,320 mike hopkins and oleg kotov as well as 37 00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,880 sergey ryazanskiy 38 00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:36,159 and it's scheduled to lift off from the 39 00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:38,560 baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan at 3 40 00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:41,439 58 pm central time to arrive at the 41 00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:44,720 station six hours later at 9 48 p.m 42 00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,479 seeing here some video of the crew 43 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,640 inside the integration facility at the 44 00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,640 baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan as 45 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:52,640 they prepared for their launch over the 46 00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:54,960 weekend 47 00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,240 today the crew is going to be appearing 48 00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,479 before the russian state commission and 49 00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:00,079 participating in one final news 50 00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:03,280 conference in baikonur 51 00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:05,119 meanwhile in space 52 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:06,880 their waiting crewmates are busy with 53 00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:09,360 science and maintenance activities 54 00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:11,520 karen nyberg is performing several runs 55 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,520 of the in-space iii experiment which 56 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:15,760 examines colloidal fluids classified as 57 00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:17,200 smart materials 58 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:19,680 which transition to a solid-like state 59 00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:21,520 in the presence of a magnetic of a 60 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,440 magnetic field 61 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:25,280 the hope is that new manufacturing 62 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:27,920 models based on the idea of having these 63 00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,480 nanoparticles act as self-assembling 64 00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:32,879 building blocks could be used to improve 65 00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,040 or develop active mechanical systems 66 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:37,120 such as new brake systems seat 67 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:38,560 suspensions 68 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:41,760 stress transducers robotics rovers air 69 00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:44,080 paint airplane landing clear gear and 70 00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:50,630 while nyberg worked on that experiment 71 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:52,640 luca parmitano checked off several of 72 00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:54,080 his activities 73 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:55,920 he spent some time first with the b-cat 74 00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:58,319 experiment or the binary colloidal alloy 75 00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,159 test which studies the effects of phase 76 00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:02,560 separation on crystal growth 77 00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:04,319 and he did some annual maintenance on 78 00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:05,680 the station's 79 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,239 exercise bike lubricating some of its 80 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,080 guides 81 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,080 in the destiny laboratory he replaced a 82 00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:14,560 ground strap on the express rack 3 which 83 00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:16,239 is one of the modular rack systems 84 00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:19,120 inside the station can house up to 80 85 00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:22,560 experience experiments at a time 86 00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:23,920 and he also worked on one of the 87 00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,680 spacesuits inside the quest airlock to 88 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:27,680 replace a waterline vent tube that's 89 00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:30,959 coming up on its expiration date 90 00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,990 on the russian side of the station 91 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:39,840 commander fyodor yurchikhin performed 92 00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:41,360 some communication checkouts with 93 00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:43,000 baikonur in preparation for the 94 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:45,200 congratulatory calls that will be made 95 00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:47,040 following tomorrow's launch and he 96 00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:48,799 worked on the column crystal experiment 97 00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:50,560 which studies the behavior of charged 98 00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,630 as well as a technology demonstration 99 00:04:02,630 --> 00:03:58,480 experiment on guidance and navigation
