1
00:00:04,309 --> 00:00:02,629
and good day once again and uh welcome

2
00:00:05,749 --> 00:00:04,319
back into the international space

3
00:00:07,349 --> 00:00:05,759
station flight control room here at the

4
00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:07,359
johnson space center in houston we've

5
00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:09,440
extended our space station live

6
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:11,920
broadcast for the day a few minutes a

7
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:14,160
busy man has joined us today he is the

8
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:16,160
lead flight director for expedition 38

9
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:18,240
judd freeling thanks for

10
00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:20,320
being with us today you just literally

11
00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:22,080
walked out of the international space

12
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:24,080
station mission management team meeting

13
00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:26,400
how did all of that discussion go and

14
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,160
how were we looking for the start of the

15
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:30,480
spacewalk on tuesday morning yes the

16
00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:32,160
discussion went great uh we're looking

17
00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:34,719
uh we give a go for the uh the next eva

18
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:37,120
that's tomorrow morning uh so that's uh

19
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:39,120
we're all ready to go

20
00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:41,680
okay so let's uh take a look at the last

21
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:44,000
48 hours here the first spacewalk the

22
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,960
crew worked extremely efficiently

23
00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,239
basically

24
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,320
knocked off the first two hours of what

25
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,399
had been planned for the second

26
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:54,399
spacewalk and

27
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,719
they're back in the airlock and

28
00:01:00,310 --> 00:00:58,559
take us walk us through what happened

29
00:01:02,709 --> 00:01:00,320
back in the quest airlock at the end of

30
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:02,719
saturday's spacewalk and uh the

31
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:04,320
resulting activities over the past

32
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:05,600
couple of days

33
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:07,119
yeah so uh

34
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,479
we uh

35
00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:10,960
we we intend for at the end of the eva

36
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,439
to kind of clean up the eva

37
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:15,280
and uh

38
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:16,880
at the end of that

39
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:21,119
we we pressurized the the airlock

40
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,439
and uh once we did that we had an

41
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:25,600
inadvertent switch throw that turned

42
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:29,040
some water on to go to one of the suits

43
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:32,799
and uh that intervention switch throw

44
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:34,400
made us question whether or not we got

45
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,200
some water in the sublimator module of

46
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:39,840
one of those suits so while it was uh at

47
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:41,920
uh at pressure

48
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:44,640
uh so the reason that's uh not such a

49
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:46,880
good thing is that uh we expect water to

50
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:49,119
go in the sublimator uh

51
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:51,840
when when we're at vacuum of the uh the

52
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:53,040
airlock

53
00:01:57,830 --> 00:01:55,600
uh and that that the act of the water

54
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:57,840
going in the sublimator actually is what

55
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:00,399
creates a an ice brick on the submariner

56
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,000
and allows us to

57
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:04,719
reject heat on the suits once they go

58
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:07,280
out eva

59
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:09,599
when when water gets in that sublimator

60
00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:11,680
at uh at pressure

61
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:14,239
uh there's a there's a chance that uh

62
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:17,440
the once we go back to vacuum again

63
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:19,599
that that water will freeze

64
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:21,599
in kind of an incorrect place in the

65
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:23,120
subtle manner and kind of

66
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:24,959
let it expand

67
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:28,959
out and and bowed the sublimator so

68
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:29,680
so

69
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,800
because

70
00:02:35,350 --> 00:02:32,319
there's a there was a question about

71
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,360
whether we had uh liquid water in that

72
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,080
sublimator that suit 3010

73
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:40,640
which was rick suit

74
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:43,840
we we had to call that suit no go

75
00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:47,360
okay now in calling it no go that uh

76
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,319
necessitated a discussion about uh how

77
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:52,400
much time it would take to get another

78
00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:55,040
suit ready to go and that's what led us

79
00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,000
from a monday spacewalk today through to

80
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,239
a tuesday spacewalk so what has the crew

81
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,640
been doing now to prepare for that and

82
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:04,400
what did they do back uh i guess

83
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:06,879
yesterday on sunday in order to get the

84
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:08,000
ball rolling

85
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:09,200
right so

86
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,280
we had already planned for them on

87
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:13,840
sunday to to have a jam-packed day

88
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,280
of activities scrubbing their suits

89
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:18,959
scrubbing the water within their suits

90
00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:21,599
and and various other cleanup activities

91
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:23,599
to get them ready for an eva that would

92
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,400
have been on monday uh so because uh we

93
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,720
had to call this suit uh the 3010 rick

94
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:30,799
suit no go

95
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:32,560
that means we we kind of have to do a

96
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:35,440
suit shuffle and we we we shuffled the

97
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:38,560
suits around such that uh we can get uh

98
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:42,480
our backup suit which is a 3005 resized

99
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:49,030
the way it works out is that uh 3005 uh

100
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,319
has a an upper torso unit on it

101
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:54,640
uh that would only fit uh mike

102
00:03:58,229 --> 00:03:56,640
and so we have to give that one to mike

103
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,239
and we have to take the the one that

104
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,799
mike was using uh in this this previous

105
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:03,040
eva and give that to rick so so we

106
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,799
basically have to to resize both of

107
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:06,319
those suits

108
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,920
sort of a tailoring nightmare if you

109
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:10,080
went into a department store to get the

110
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:13,120
right fit right now the suit that rick

111
00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:14,799
wore on saturday that's been in the

112
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:17,199
process of drying out uh there is a full

113
00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:19,759
expectation that uh it will be back in

114
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:21,759
service in the not too distant future

115
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:24,240
right absolutely uh the the concern

116
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:26,000
would only be if if there was water in

117
00:04:29,430 --> 00:04:27,280
this sublimator

118
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:29,440
when we returned it to vacuum and so so

119
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,560
obviously we're going to we're going to

120
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,960
dry that that out properly and it'll

121
00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:34,560
probably take on the order of a week or

122
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,360
so

123
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:37,520
to get that properly dried out but but

124
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:39,360
there's there's no expectation that that

125
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:42,639
suit will be no go indefinitely it

126
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:44,240
we believe once we get that sublater

127
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:47,199
dried out it'll be ready to go for eva

128
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:48,000
and

129
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:50,000
just to be clear for our viewing

130
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:52,080
audience and our listening audience

131
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,120
the suits that they wore on saturday

132
00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:57,600
function perfectly bone dry right yeah

133
00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:00,400
they they worked worked as expected as

134
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:02,639
we expect the suits tomorrow to do as

135
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:03,440
well

136
00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:06,080
what was the philosophy uh now in

137
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:07,840
putting hopkins at the end of the robot

138
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,080
arm for the second eva and basically

139
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:12,000
switching their designations ev one and

140
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:13,759
two which gets into a little bit of a

141
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:16,800
confusing procedural and paper trail

142
00:05:23,270 --> 00:05:19,680
right uh so we had originally planned

143
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:23,280
since since mike is is uh is uh or was

144
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:25,919
before this this eva uh the other day uh

145
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,759
first time uh uh eva guy um we planned

146
00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:31,680
to give him some experience uh out on

147
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:33,120
the robotic arm

148
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,320
on eva number three or eva 26 as it

149
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,560
would have been called um

150
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,560
because it's it's apparent now that that

151
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:42,800
we'll be able to uh to get most of our

152
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:44,800
uh most all of our critical objectives

153
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:46,639
done on our next dva which is going to

154
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,240
be tomorrow

155
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,639
um there was some thought from from both

156
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,560
the crew and the ground here that it

157
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,400
would be good to to get mike some some

158
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,639
experience flying in the arm

159
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:58,639
and so uh so we went ahead and swapped

160
00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:59,600
rolls

161
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:02,160
uh between the crew members so so mike's

162
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:03,840
going to be out on the arm on this eva

163
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:06,000
and and rick's going to be out

164
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:07,280
free floating

165
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:08,400
um

166
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:10,240
we we are still going to retain the

167
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:11,840
designation rick is still going to be

168
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:13,759
designated ev1

169
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:16,000
uh and and mike's going to be designated

170
00:06:20,309 --> 00:06:18,560
ev2 meaning rick is the the lead

171
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:20,319
spacewalker

172
00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:21,680
but uh

173
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,680
for our kind of ground procedures down

174
00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:25,680
here we we basically kind of have to

175
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:28,479
scratch out ev1 and 2 and reverse those

176
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,600
as to because fundamentally mike's doing

177
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,600
the role that

178
00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:35,600
would have we we had bookmarked for for

179
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:36,960
ev1

180
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,319
and for the media out there don't be

181
00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:39,919
confused i'll try to explain this

182
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,160
tomorrow during the spacewalk as i said

183
00:06:45,909 --> 00:06:43,840
a little a little bit of a paper trail

184
00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:45,919
to to try to follow along during the

185
00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,039
spacewalk

186
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,680
why only two evas now is it because we

187
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,520
got so far ahead of the timeline on

188
