00:01:48,389 --> 00:01:46,479
inside of the zvezda service module over

45
00:01:50,069 --> 00:01:48,399
on the russian segment he'll also be

46
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,079
doing some routine maintenance work in

47
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:52,240
one of the russian docking compartments

48
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:54,240
known as poisk or the mini research

49
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:55,600
module too

50
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:57,119
and that'll be taking out most of his

51
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,479
day today

52
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:01,200
meanwhile russian sergey ryazanskiy is

53
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,960
uh doing some

54
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:05,119
uh work known as fungostat treatment

55
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,640
some

56
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:08,800
routine work to

57
00:02:12,949 --> 00:02:11,280
coat the surfaces inside of the

58
00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:12,959
international space station to make them

59
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,599
more resistant to uh any microbes that

60
00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:17,760
may accumulate over time they'll be

61
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,319
working inside of the zarya module which

62
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:22,800
just yesterday celebrated its 15th

63
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:24,959
anniversary since launch in the

64
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:26,560
beginning of the international space

65
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,040
station in space

66
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,440

68
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,120
number of blood samples

69
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:37,120
and other biological samples for a few

70
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:39,360
studies on board for the human research

71
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:42,080
facility and also the pro k experiment a

72
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,280
dietary experiment which looks at

73
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:47,519
decreasing the ratio between protein and

74
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,760
potassium in the astronauts diet to try

75
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,680
and combat

76
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:53,440
the bone loss that the astronauts are

77
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:55,440
typically subjected to while in

78
00:03:01,670 --> 00:02:58,080
microgravity for long durations of time

79
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:01,680
aside from that also doing some more

80
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:03,920
astronaut health studies today is uh

81
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,040
hopkins

82
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:07,760
will be doing some ocular ocular health

83
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,720
scans

84
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:10,400
using the station's funduscope to do

85
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:13,280
scans of his eyes and also

86
00:03:17,910 --> 00:03:15,360
joining him in those scans will be his

87
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:17,920
fellow russian or fellow nasa astronaut

88
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:20,159
rick mastracchio and japanese astronaut

89
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,910
the third russian on board mikhail taran

90
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:27,599
started off his day working on the

91
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:29,920
russian virtual experiment which looks

92
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:33,040
to gather new data on the mechanisms of

93
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:34,720
sensory interaction and sensory

94
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,959
adaptation for these astronauts

95
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:39,040
how well they're able to adapt

96
00:03:41,589 --> 00:03:40,640
during their long duration space

97
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:41,599
missions

98
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,480
also doing two earth study

99
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,720
experiments today first off the signer

100
00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:48,480
which looks to um

101
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:51,599
document and track bioproductive areas

102
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,920
of the world's oceans for scientific

103
00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:56,239
research and also for commercial fishing

104
00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:58,239
also working on the eurogan experiment

105
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:59,040
which

106
00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:00,480
uses the

107
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,080
international space station's unique

108
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,560
vantage point to serve as a

109
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:06,319
monitoring system for areas where

110
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:08,159
natural and man-made disasters are

111
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,439
forecasted

112
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,519
and helping to relay information to

113
00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:13,760
authorities whenever these unfavorable

114
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:16,239
events transpire

115
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:17,680
meanwhile nasa astronaut rick

116
00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,000
mastracchio on board today conducting a

117
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:22,079
photo survey of some of the external

118
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:24,880
station structures as part of a regular

119
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:27,360
maintenance activity to

120
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:29,600
routinely document the outer portions of

121
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:30,960
the station

122
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:33,120
he'll also be doing those ocular

123
00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,240
checkouts alongside hopkins and wakata

124
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,800
as mentioned

125
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:40,800
then koichi wakata on board today is

126
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,080
continuing

127
00:04:45,909 --> 00:04:44,000
with the circadian rhythms experiment

128
00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:45,919
which he began uh towards the end of his

129
00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:47,919
day yesterday it will continue on

130
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,840
through the morning

131
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:51,520
tomorrow we'll hear more about that

132
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,080
experiment later which looks to attract

133
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:56,400
the astronaut sleep cycles throughout

134
00:05:00,870 --> 00:04:58,720
their long duration missions avocado

135
00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:00,880
also continuing his work with the

136
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,520
capillary flow experiment fluid physics

137
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:05,120
experiment on board that looks to

138
00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:06,320
investigate

139
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:09,120
the force known as capillary

140
00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:10,560
capillary force

141
00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:12,560
which in the absence of gravity is a

142
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:14,000
powerful tool for

143
00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:16,000
transitioning fluids along different

144
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:18,560
delivery systems so that experiment

145
00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:20,960
today also looking at uh effectively

146
00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:23,520
separating fluids from gases a very

147
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,680
important component in the design of

148
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:27,840
spacecraft fuel systems also other

149
00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:29,759
liquid delivery systems such as water

150
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,479
for crew consumption or experiments on
