1
00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:15,749
this is mission control houston and

2
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:18,160
welcome to space station live

3
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:19,920
looking down at the international space

4
00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:22,000
station flight control room the johnson

5
00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:24,080
space center in houston texas

6
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:27,519
it's wednesday november 20th 2013.

7
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:29,039
the orbit two team inside the room

8
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:30,800
taking a quick breather while we wait to

9
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:33,120
reacquire video and voice communication

10
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:35,040
with the international space station

11
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:37,040
they'll be monitoring systems on board

12
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:40,879
controlling again from here in houston

13
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,200
on board the crew of expedition 38

14
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:45,920
six-man international crew led by

15
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:48,960
uh russian cosmonaut oleg kotov two more

16
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:50,719
russian cosmonauts sergey ryazanskiy and

17
00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:52,960
mikhail turin on board two nasa

18
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:54,559
astronauts mike hopkins and rick

19
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:57,039
mastracchio and one japanese astronaut

20
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,760
koichi wakata

21
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:01,440
fairly historic day for the

22
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,760
international space station today

23
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:06,000
as it marks the 15th anniversary since

24
00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:07,840
the launch of the very first element

25
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:09,119
zarya

26
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:10,799
which was launched in a proton rocket

27
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,040
again 15 years ago in 1998 from the

28
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:15,520
baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan

29
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:18,080
zarya the russian word for sunrise

30
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:20,240
as the craft signaled the dawn of the

31
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:22,240
new age of human space flight and the

32
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:24,240
new age of international cooperation in

33
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:27,119
space so again today we celebrate 15

34
00:01:31,749 --> 00:01:30,000
years since the first launch of the

35
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:31,759
first element that would eventually

36
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:35,600
become the international space station

37
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,560
meanwhile today on board oleg kotov

38
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,880
current commander on board of expedition

39
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:42,000
38

40
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:44,560
doing a few experiment activities today

41
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:45,920
starting off earlier today with the

42
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:48,320
russian albedo experiment which uses

43
00:01:52,389 --> 00:01:50,240
specialized cameras on board the station

44
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,399
to measure the earth's albedo

45
00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:54,479
which is the amount of solar radiation

46
00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:56,880
that's reflected back naturally from the

47
00:02:02,069 --> 00:01:59,600
earth's surface that experiment hoping

48
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,079
to eventually develop some ways to

49
00:02:05,190 --> 00:02:04,159
generate electrical power for the

50
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:05,200
station

51
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:07,600
from that reflected solar radiation

52
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:10,479
aside from that work kotov also doing

53
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:13,120
some repair on the russian segment's

54
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:16,400
water distribution and heating unit

55
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:18,560
meanwhile sergey ryazanskiy is

56
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:20,160
continuing some work that he began

57
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:23,280
yesterday so you can is replacing the

58
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:24,879
number of fan units throughout the

59
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:26,319
russian segment

60
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,959
with lower noise models to try and

61
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,400
decrease some of the acoustic loads

62
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:32,879
these crews are exposed to while inside

63
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:34,720
the station they'll also be doing some

64
00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:36,160
noise measurements throughout the

65
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:37,599
russian segment and sending those

66
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:40,560
results down to the ground

67
00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,200
nasa astronaut mike hopkins started off

68
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:45,519
this day taking a few biological samples

69
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:49,360
for the pro-k experiment which looks to

70
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:52,160
track an astronaut's flight diet which

71
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:54,000
the one that he's on has a decreased

72
00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:57,120
ratio of protein to potassium hoping

73
00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:59,599
that this is potentially one way to lead

74
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:01,920
to decreased bone loss or loss of bone

75
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,319
mineral material in the astronauts as

76
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,920
that is one of the serious things that

77
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:07,840
they have to deal with while exposed to

78
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,200
microgravity for long durations of time

79
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:13,680
hopkins also setting up and running a

80
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:15,920
few test runs on the capillary flow

81
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:18,560
experiment fluid physics physics

82
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:20,400
experiment on board the station that

83
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:22,400
investigates the force known as

84
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,080
capillary flow

85
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:26,560
which is used to move fluids through

86
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,319
various containers

87
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,319
results from this study eventually

88
00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,400
hoping to improve the

89
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:34,319
fluid delivery systems onboard

90
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:37,840
spacecraft in microgravity

91
00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,560
things like fuel delivery and also water

92
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:42,720
systems for astronauts and also for

93
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:45,040
various experiments on board

94
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:47,360
hopkins also rounding out his day with a

95
00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:48,879
few health tests

96
00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:52,080
checking out his vision as again vision

97
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,239
one of the another thing affected in

98
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:56,879
these astronauts and cosmonauts bodies

99
00:04:02,470 --> 00:03:59,040
while in that microgravity environment

100
00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,710
russian cosmonaut mikhail turin

101
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:06,640
right off the bat this morning taking a

102
00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:08,640
few blood and saliva samples for a

103
00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:10,799
russian biological experiment tracking

104
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:12,879
crew health throughout his increment

105
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:15,360
and he'll also have a pretty heavy day

106
00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,280
loaded down with maintenance

107
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:18,880
on some of the ventilation systems

108
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:20,239
throughout the russian segment and also

109
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:22,560
on the russian electron system which is

110
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:24,000
uh one of the

111
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,080
oxygen generation systems on board

112
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,560
replenishing the astronauts atmosphere

113
00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:30,720
on board the station

114
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:32,160
meanwhile nasa astronaut rick

115
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:34,400
mastracchio taking a few samples of his

116
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:36,320
own for the human research facility on

117
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,840
board the station

118
00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:39,600
having a few maintenance and house

119
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,840
cleaning tasks himself cleaning out the

120
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:43,600
ventilation system inside of the destiny

121
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:45,040
laboratory

122
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:47,120
and later on today performing a uh the

123
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:48,960
quarterly inspection of one of the

124
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:50,720
exercise devices on board the station

125
00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:53,680
the uh the treadmill i used to help

126
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:55,040
combat the negative effects of

127
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:57,040
weightlessness that have not only in the

128
00:05:01,670 --> 00:04:59,120
bone mineral like we were talking about

129
00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:01,680
a little bit earlier but also on the

130
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:03,280
cardiovascular health of these

131
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:04,800
astronauts

132
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:06,800
and then the final

133
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:08,800
crew member on board koichi wakana from

134
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:10,880
the japanese aerospace exploration

135
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:11,919
agency

136
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:14,080
deployed the fourth cubesat earlier this

137
00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:17,520
morning at 1 58 a.m central time

138
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:19,039
he deployed three yesterday and that

139
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:21,680
final one today out of the gem airlock

140
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:24,000
using the space station's portable

141
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,520
satellite deployer

142
00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:27,520
mechanism again all that taking place in

143
00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,479
cabo

144
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:30,639
kibo the japanese module on board the

145
00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:33,120
station so okada was responsible for

146
00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:35,120
getting that together and deploying that

147
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,720
satellite in conjunction with teams on

148
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:38,880
the ground earlier today

149
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,960
also during his day he'll be doing an

150
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:42,800
eye exam and working on that capillary

151
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,720
flow experiment with hopkins

152
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:46,479
again a pretty historic day for the

153
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:48,880
station marking 15 years since the
