[ Music ]

2
00:00:04,186 --> 00:00:07,186
>> It's Tuesday,
November 12th, 2013,

3
00:00:07,186 --> 00:00:10,066
this is the International Space
Station Flight Control Room.

4
00:00:10,646 --> 00:00:12,986
Welcome to Space
Station Live on this day,

5
00:00:12,986 --> 00:00:15,576
the first day following
Veteran's Day

6
00:00:15,976 --> 00:00:20,086
and also the arrival and
departure of 3 crew members

7
00:00:20,086 --> 00:00:21,696
at the International
Space Station.

8
00:00:22,026 --> 00:00:24,636
This flight control
team, today, is being led

9
00:00:24,636 --> 00:00:27,686
by veteran flight
director Ed Van Cise.

10
00:00:27,956 --> 00:00:29,516
He's joined by Marc Reagan.

11
00:00:29,516 --> 00:00:31,906
You see to his right,
he's serving

12
00:00:31,906 --> 00:00:33,516
at the spacecraft communicator.

13
00:00:33,516 --> 00:00:36,406
The communications
link between Houston

14
00:00:36,696 --> 00:00:39,606
and the crew aboard the
International Space Station.

15
00:00:40,016 --> 00:00:46,286
That crew currently 6, went from
6 to 9 and back to 6 and all

16
00:00:46,286 --> 00:00:51,466
in the span of about 6 days with
the departure of 3 crew members

17
00:00:51,466 --> 00:00:54,286
after 166 days in space.

18
00:00:54,286 --> 00:00:56,976
And they left behind
this member --

19
00:00:56,976 --> 00:01:01,736
this 6 member crew that you see
under command of Oleg Kotov,

20
00:01:01,786 --> 00:01:04,446
Russian cosmonaut,
as a commander

21
00:01:04,446 --> 00:01:08,506
of Expedition 38 now aboard the
International Space Station.

22
00:01:08,876 --> 00:01:11,666
He's joined by Sergey
Ryazanskiy,

23
00:01:11,666 --> 00:01:14,356
and U.S. astronaut
Mike Hopkins there

24
00:01:14,356 --> 00:01:17,176
on the right side
of the crew logo.

25
00:01:17,456 --> 00:01:21,966
On the left side, the 3 newest
arrival crew members having

26
00:01:21,966 --> 00:01:24,286
arrived just a few days ago.

27
00:01:24,286 --> 00:01:26,006
Six days in fact.

28
00:01:26,356 --> 00:01:28,856
Mikhail Tyurin, Rick
Mastracchio,

29
00:01:28,856 --> 00:01:32,486
and Koichi Wakata
representing the Japan Aerospace

30
00:01:32,486 --> 00:01:34,096
Exploration Agency.

31
00:01:34,096 --> 00:01:37,006
So a multinational
crew that makes

32
00:01:37,006 --> 00:01:39,096
up 6 crew members
aboard the station.

33
00:01:39,896 --> 00:01:42,186
Three crew members have
been there 48 days.

34
00:01:42,566 --> 00:01:44,406
The newest 3, six days now.

35
00:01:44,846 --> 00:01:49,096
And then inside the U.S.
laboratory as crew members,

36
00:01:49,096 --> 00:01:52,216
the 3 newest crew emmbers spend
some time throughout their day

37
00:01:52,596 --> 00:01:56,716
acclimating themselves to
the new environment of living

38
00:01:56,756 --> 00:01:59,336
in space rather than
just visiting

39
00:01:59,336 --> 00:02:00,866
for short duration missions.

40
00:02:01,666 --> 00:02:04,716
You see Mike Hopkins
and Rick Mastracchio.

41
00:02:04,716 --> 00:02:07,626
They are working
directly with the ground

42
00:02:07,876 --> 00:02:11,156
on the water recovery
management system.

43
00:02:11,186 --> 00:02:13,476
The [inaudible] a
pumping system as part

44
00:02:13,476 --> 00:02:16,606
of that elaborate intricate
environmental control

45
00:02:16,606 --> 00:02:19,386
and life support system of the
International Space Station.

46
00:02:19,386 --> 00:02:22,186
It's not malfunctioning.

47
00:02:22,186 --> 00:02:24,326
They are basically
in the process

48
00:02:24,326 --> 00:02:28,076
of activating a high flow fluid
transfer pump that's designed

49
00:02:28,076 --> 00:02:33,086
to transfer fluid from -- to
the waste water bus system.

50
00:02:33,766 --> 00:02:35,666
Power's provided
from one of the --

51
00:02:35,906 --> 00:02:39,316
what's known as express
racks aboard the station.

52
00:02:39,896 --> 00:02:45,896
And so they've been working with
that for a short period of time

53
00:02:45,896 --> 00:02:49,396
in the second half of their
day aboard the station.

54
00:02:49,496 --> 00:02:52,556
This is in the laboratory
of the --

55
00:02:52,556 --> 00:02:55,726
or actually a little further
back than the laboratory

56
00:02:55,976 --> 00:02:59,226
in the harmony module of the
International Space Station just

57
00:02:59,226 --> 00:03:04,306
where the connecting point
to the European laboratory,

58
00:03:04,306 --> 00:03:08,246
Columbus, and the Japanese
laboratory, Kibo is located.

59
00:03:08,246 --> 00:03:10,486
In the far distance,
you see stowage bags

60
00:03:10,486 --> 00:03:13,936
against what is known as a
pressurized mating adapter.

61
00:03:14,396 --> 00:03:18,736
That is -- basically a docking
port that's currently not

62
00:03:18,736 --> 00:03:21,846
required for any
visiting vehicle traffic.

63
00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:29,886
The 6 crew members of
Expedition 38 are in great shape

64
00:03:29,886 --> 00:03:34,346
and they have been working since
midnight U.S. Central Time.

65
00:03:34,346 --> 00:03:35,946
And they'll go to bed about 3:30

66
00:03:35,946 --> 00:03:39,256
in the afternoon
Central Time as well.

67
00:03:39,736 --> 00:03:42,986
Throughout the day, the crew
members divide and conquer

68
00:03:42,986 --> 00:03:47,006
with some experimental work,
some adaptation training

69
00:03:47,006 --> 00:03:49,786
for getting acclimated
to their new environment.

70
00:03:50,276 --> 00:03:55,226
And obviously conducting some
daily planning conferences

71
00:03:55,226 --> 00:03:58,986
with the ground and their
routine exercise plans

72
00:03:59,316 --> 00:04:02,096
as they get well
acquainted one another
