on board the international space station

35
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:17,600
on both the u.s and russian sides a lot

36
00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:19,920
of work being done on spacewalking

37
00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:22,000
preparation and suits

38
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:24,320

spending pretty much their entire day

41
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:30,400
today performing a remove and

42
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,799
replacement activity on one of the fan

43
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:34,799
pump separators inside of one of the

44
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:37,840
emu's the extra vehicular mobility units

45
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:38,720
the

46
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:40,400
large white spacesuits that all

47
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,520
astronauts wear on u.s based spacewalks

48
00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:44,960
you can see some video from a little bit

49
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:46,479
earlier this morning we'll have

50
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:49,439
extensive footage of that work today

51
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,000
also be talking to one of our

52
00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:54,159
spacewalk flight controllers on the

53
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:55,840
activity getting some more inside

54
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,479
information and as they continue to do

55
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:00,719
that task that again taking up much of

56
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,960
mike hopkins and karen nyberg's day

57
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:04,719
today

58
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:06,799
also in that view you can see european

59
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:09,920
astronaut luca parmitano who is wearing

60
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,080
the spacesuit that they're working on

61
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:14,959
all of this emu work being done ever

62
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,360
since that july 16 spacewalk when

63
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:20,080
parmitano discovered water leaking into

64
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:23,520
his helmet that again back on july 16th

65
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:25,440
aside from giving them a quick hand with

66
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:27,360
that parmitano today

67
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:29,599
working with the circadian rhythms

68
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,319
experiment looking to understand how the

69
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,800
bodily changes of microgravity affect

70
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:36,560
the astronaut circadian rhythms or

71
00:02:41,589 --> 00:02:38,879
basically their natural sleep cycles how

72
00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:41,599
the body's able to adapt and perform and

73
00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:43,519
any effects that it has on the health

74
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:46,800
status of long duration crew members

75
00:02:52,470 --> 00:02:48,640
aside from that he'll also be stowing a

76
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,480
few of the emu tools once nyberg and

77
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:54,400
hopkins are finished with their removing

78
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:57,120
replacement work today also doing a an

79
00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:59,120
exam on his eyes with the station's

80
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:01,360
fundoscope used to measure the retina

81
00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:03,120
health of these astronauts during their

82
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,360
time on board the international space

83
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,440
station

84
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:09,599
meanwhile on the russian segment

85
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,319
expedition 37 commander fjordier cheekin

86
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:14,239
continuing a series of maintenance tasks

87
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:16,239
which has been dominating his schedule

88
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:17,920
throughout the week today he's

89
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:20,400
collecting surface samples looking for

90
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:23,280
any microbes or various

91
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,720
other small trace elements along

92
00:03:30,869 --> 00:03:28,720
surface elements inside of both the

93
00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,879
zarya module and the russian zvezda

94
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:32,879
service module they'll be taking these

95
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:34,959
samples from all the different equipment

96
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,000
and structures inside of each segment

97
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:39,920
meanwhile oleg kotov and sergey

98
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,480
ryazanskiy also focusing pretty heavily

99
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:44,480
on some eva work as they get ready for

100
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:46,400
russian spacewalk 36

101
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:48,640
coming up on november 9th the two will

102
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:50,959
be activating and inspecting their orlan

103
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:53,360
spacesuits which the russians use during

104
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,840
their spacewalks they'll also be

105
00:03:59,670 --> 00:03:57,519
recharging the water systems and the

106
00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:59,680
batteries inside and doing some

107
00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:01,280
checkouts of the pure stocking

108
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:03,439
compartment well they will be staging

109
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:05,360
the spacewalk from

110
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:07,760
doing some leak checks on its systems

111
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:08,879
and also

112
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,480
doing some checkouts on the suit

113
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:12,799
interface equipment inside

114
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:14,879
aside from all that eva work uh sergey

115
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:16,400
ryazanskiy also

116
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:18,239
waking up early this morning to do some

117
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,400
more saliva and blood collection for the

118
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:22,639
ongoing biological experiments taking

119
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:25,120
place on board but again uh the vast

120
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:27,120
majority of astronauts on board today

121
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,560
focusing

122
00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:30,720
all of their efforts on work for

123
00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:32,800
upcoming spacewalks and also repair work

124
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:35,360
for past spacewalks and to prepare the
