1 00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:08,950 today is monday september 30th in 2013 2 00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:10,400 and you're joining us here inside of the 3 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:11,840 international space station flight 4 00:00:17,349 --> 00:00:13,840 control room located at the johnson 5 00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:17,359 space center in houston texas on board 6 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:19,920 interactions with the recently docked 7 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:21,840 cygnus cargo vehicle continued today 8 00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:23,920 with luca parmitano and karen nyberg 9 00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:26,080 continuing to focus on that 10 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:27,439 the vehicle 11 00:00:32,069 --> 00:00:30,160 built and maintained by orbital sciences 12 00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:32,079 successfully flew to the international 13 00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,079 space station yesterday completing its 14 00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:36,719 final approach in a number of milestones 15 00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:39,040 as it looks to make its first cargo 16 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:40,800 delivery to the station 17 00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,559 it was successfully grappled with the 18 00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,719 station's robotic arm by parmitano and 19 00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:46,800 nyberg yesterday morning 20 00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:49,520 around seven uh it's around six a.m 21 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,120 central time and then docked 22 00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:53,360 successfully to the earth-facing side of 23 00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:57,199 the harmony module not 7 44 am central 24 00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,719 time 25 00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:00,640 that cargo craft which is scheduled to 26 00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:02,320 remain attached to the international 27 00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:05,360 space station until october 22nd 28 00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:07,840 has delivered about 1 300 pounds of 29 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,400 cargo to the six member crew of 30 00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,400 expedition 37 31 00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:14,560 among this various student experiments 32 00:01:17,749 --> 00:01:15,920 food and clothing 33 00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:17,759 all of which will be unloaded by the 34 00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:18,640 crew 35 00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,040 that unloading starting with the hatch 36 00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:23,360 opening which took place today the crew 37 00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:25,840 remember opening up the hatches earlier 38 00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,320 this morning at around 3 10 a.m central 39 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,960 time to gain access into cygnus again 40 00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,640 attached right now to the earth-facing 41 00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:34,640 side of the harmony module 42 00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:37,119 the crew will begin unloading some of 43 00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:39,759 that cargo today having already carried 44 00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:41,439 out a number of items including some of 45 00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,360 the nanorack student experiments that 46 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,600 have flown to the station on board 47 00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:46,960 they'll be unloading the rest of the 48 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,520 cargo over the next three weeks again 49 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:51,280 that vehicle right now scheduled to 50 00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:55,680 remain until october 22nd 51 00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,079 aside from all of this cygnus work 52 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:00,880 taking place today luca parmitano will 53 00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:04,320 also be working to replace a water line 54 00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:06,799 vent tube assembly working inside of the 55 00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:09,039 station's quest airlock on one of the 56 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,360 two u.s spacesuits inside 57 00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:13,680 that water line vent tube in the hard 58 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:16,319 upper torso portion of the spacesuit 59 00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,760 he'll be getting a hand in some of that 60 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,080 by one of the station's newest residents 61 00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:22,800 mike hopkins who started off his day 62 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:24,640 taking a few samples for the human 63 00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:27,120 research facility on board the station 64 00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:29,599 hopkins on board less than a week now 65 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,480 still engaging in uh set aside time for 66 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,879 crew orientation that all these 67 00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:36,560 new crew members on board the station 68 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,680 are assigned 69 00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:39,599 to familiarize themselves 70 00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:41,519 with all the systems and procedures that 71 00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:43,440 they'll be 72 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,680 interacting with over the six-month stay 73 00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:47,760 on board the station aside from that 74 00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,920 he'll also be unloading a bit of cargo 75 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:51,519 from that cygnus vehicle joining 76 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,840 parmitano and nyberg 77 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,000 over on the russian side of the house 78 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:58,640 current expedition 37 commander fyodor 79 00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:01,040 yurchikhin is working today with the 80 00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:04,000 russian septic experiment located inside 81 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:06,239 of the russian science glove box 82 00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:09,440 it's a study looking to contribute to 83 00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,239 all of the developments that go into 84 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,640 preparing onboard equipment 85 00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:16,560 with a 86 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,360 septic condition basically free from any 87 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:21,440 microorganisms such as bacteria and 88 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:24,480 viruses and also fungi that can 89 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:27,280 potentially build up in order to 90 00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,239 better 91 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,159 sanitize any biotechnological 92 00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:31,920 experiments taking place on board 93 00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:33,360 station 94 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:35,840 i'll also be looking for any trace 95 00:03:38,949 --> 00:03:37,040 contaminant 96 00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:38,959 levels inside of the russian service 97 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:40,239 module 98 00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:41,440 also working 99 00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:42,640 the other two 100 00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:45,040 russian cosmonauts on board focusing on 101 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,640 some experiment work 102 00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:49,040 oleg kotov focusing on the russian 103 00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:51,840 constanta experiment which looks to find 104 00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:54,000 any possible approaches to protecting 105 00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:55,760 the enzyme systems 106 00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,000 of humans and animals in space flight 107 00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:00,000 protecting them from the undesirable 108 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:01,920 effects of that microgravity environment 109 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,760 and long-term exposure 110 00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:05,920 as a newer crew member he'll also be 111 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:07,280 taking some time out for crew 112 00:04:11,309 --> 00:04:09,200 orientation and transferring some cargo 113 00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:11,319 that came up on that soyuz 114 00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:14,480 tma-10m vehicle that brought him 115 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:16,959 ryzanski and hopkins to the station 116 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,519 just last week on wednesday 117 00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,120 final crew member 118 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:23,360 sergey ryazanskiy working on the russian 119 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:25,040 cascad experiment 120 00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:26,720 which looks to cultivate cells of 121 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:28,800 microorganisms humans and 122 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:31,440 animals in microgravity conditions 123 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:34,000 hoping to increase their resistance to 124 00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:36,560 some of the negative factors of 125 00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:39,120 storing and preparing them in space such 126 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:41,199 as freezing and drying
