00:00:07,510 --> 00:00:05,510
kenny todd thank you for coming kenny

2
00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:07,520
todd is the iss

3
00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:09,519
mission operations integration manager

4
00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,599
long title but basically he's going to

5
00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:13,599
be here to share with us some of the

6
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:16,000
upcoming things that we can anticipate

7
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:18,080
lots of activity going on

8
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,880
today the crew has been working on doing

9
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:22,240
some troubleshoot

10
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:24,160
work on one of the emu the extra

11
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:27,599
vehicular mobility units spacesuits and

12
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:29,760
also i'm gathering tools in preparation

13
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:30,640
for

14
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:33,120
three upcoming spacewalks the first one

15
00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:35,200
beginning on february 20th what can you

16
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:36,559
tell me about that

17
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:39,360
sure um this uh this series of evas is

18
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:41,200
really going to be focused on

19
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,280
doing some cable ridings outside the

20
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:45,200
space station getting ourselves in a

21
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:46,879
position to be able to

22
00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,719
install some additional hardware later

23
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,879
this year that will support our ability

24
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:52,239
to to

25
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:54,320
dock some of our commercial crew

26
00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:55,360
vehicles

27
00:00:59,510 --> 00:00:57,600
okay so and and we have seen a lot of

28
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:59,520
that take place actually um all

29
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,480
throughout this week they've been

30
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,399
working on kind of a

31
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,640
pre-cable routing before they actually

32
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:06,479
do the cable routing outside the complex

33
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:09,439
and i know um that is in in advance of

34
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,240
uh

35
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:12,000
the addition of the what we have been

36
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:13,600
calling the idas the international

37
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:16,479
docking adapters can you tell me about

38
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:18,400
that and and what we anticipate for the

39
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:19,600
commercial what that means for the

40
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:20,880
commercial crew

41
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,040
you bet well as a as a program we're

42
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:25,920
we're very interested in helping to spur

43
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,840
this commercial industry and

44
00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:29,840
in order to have these vehicles come to

45
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:33,360
station we need a total of four ports uh

46
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:35,840
two for uh for uh visiting vehicles that

47
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:38,079
bring cargo and then we need to uh to

48
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,240
have our commercial uh crew vehicles

49
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:42,000
arrive to station and so we needed to

50
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:44,000
make that happen by having a couple of

51
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:45,840
adapters put on so we're going to do

52
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:48,159
that on the front end of pma2

53
00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:49,439
which is on the

54
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:51,200
pressurized mating adapter on the front

55
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,799
end of station if you will

56
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,720
and then and then later in the year

57
00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:56,000
we're going to

58
00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:57,759
move pressurized mating adapter number

59
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:00,079
three from its current home on node 3

60
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:03,280
over to node 2 the zenith location and

61
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:04,880
that's where later in the year we're

62
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,399
going to install these these

63
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:09,200
international docking adapters and so

64
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,640
these evas are really about putting

65
00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:12,080
ourselves in a position to be able to

66
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:14,879
talk to those adapters uh power them uh

67
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:16,800
when that when we get there and there's

68
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:18,480
a significant amount of

69
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:19,599
cabling that we're gonna have to do

70
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:21,599
inside the space station as well so

71
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:23,520
while we do these evas in and around

72
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:25,200
these evas we'll also be doing a lot of

73
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:27,920
wiring inside the station right well

74
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,400
2015 we've already kicked off and it is

75
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,319
a big year for nasa and also a big year

76
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:34,239
for the international space station we

77
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:38,080
are now only a month away from uh well

78
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:39,599
next month we have the launch of the

79
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:42,000
first one year of uh crew

80
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:43,680
and uh that mission can you tell me some

81
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:44,879
about that

82
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,680
you bet um again just as we're we're

83
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:49,680
tasked with uh helping to commercialize

84
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:52,080
low earth orbit another thing that we

85
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:53,519
have to do is we have to help prepare

86
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:55,840
ourselves to to go for uh for longer

87
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:57,920
duration flights so that we can go go

88
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:00,480
other places in our solar system and and

89
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:02,000
and part of that is really understanding

90
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:03,680
what it means to live in space for a

91
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,280
long time so

92
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:07,760
so having scott and macau

93
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:09,280
fly to the station lived there for a

94
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,959
year

95
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:12,800
allows us an opportunity to watch them

96
00:03:16,869 --> 00:03:15,360
obviously having having

97
00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,879
scott's brother mark here on the ground

98
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,040
as a baseline subject will allow us to

99
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:21,599
really get a better handle on on the

100
00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:24,080
physiology and how things change in

101
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:25,840
space during that period so it's going

102
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,760
to be a a great opportunity for us to

103
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:29,440
learn about about long duration space

104
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,360
flight okay and so and you mentioned so

105
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:33,280
again the crew the one-year crew is uh

106
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,360
nasa astronaut scott kelly and then the

107
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:37,519
uh his uh crewmate who will also be

108
00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:40,080
doing the one-year mission is uh

109
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,640
cosmonaut mikhail kononenko and you

110
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:44,799
mentioned scott and mark and so mark is

111
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,959
a previous astronaut so and mark and

112
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:48,480
scott are brothers but also twin

113
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:50,959
brothers so that um science

114
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,360
research um will be very interesting you

115
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,120
know it's a very unique opportunity i

116
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:57,519
think that we have here for us to be

117
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:00,480
able to do that it is and i think

118
00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:01,840
again

119
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:03,680
trying to understand what it takes to to

120
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:05,040
live outside

121
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:07,040
you know our planet and our atmosphere

122
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:08,720
this is just an incredible opportunity

123
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,840
to do that and while understanding what

124
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,599
changes and and somebody on the ground

125
00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:15,439
that has almost the exact dna and the

126
00:04:20,789 --> 00:04:17,680
ability to be able to to record those

127
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:20,799
changes is really uh fascinating and the

128
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,560
significance of this launch or this

129
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:24,800
mission is that because we know what

130
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:25,759
goes on

131
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:27,360
between months one and month six we've

132
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,199
we've been doing this for a long time

133
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:31,600
now which we'll also talk about but um

134
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:33,680
six to 12 we don't have that information

135
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:35,040
and so this is going to be a great way

136
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:36,479
to be able to gather some of that data

137
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:38,960
as well you bet and just looking at the

138
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,199
the different experiments of a different

139
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:43,600
fluid physics and and just the the

140
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:45,520
things to do to check psychology of the

141
00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:46,800
crew all of the different things that

142
00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:48,400
we're going to do are

143
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,240
are really honing in on what happens in

144
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:52,880
that six to 12 month period and then so

145
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:54,639
again it's going to be great data and

146
00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,360
and it's a it's a good opportunity for

147
00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:59,199
for all partners out there who are

148
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,960
thinking about long-duration space

149
00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:02,800
flight in their future

150
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:05,680
so let's talk about cargo we have a lot

151
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:07,120
of activity there as well right

152
00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:09,199
currently we have the dragon cargo craft

153
00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:11,199
that is going to be departing from the

154
00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:14,560
space station on february 10 next week

155
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:16,720
tuesday and then we also have the

156
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,800
automated transfer vehicle that will be

157
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:20,800
departing uh the very

158
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,240
what within four days after that on

159
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:25,120
february 14th so tell me some about the

160
00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:28,000
cargo ops that we have going on sure

161
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:29,199
february is going to be a very

162
00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:30,720
challenging month for us in general

163
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:32,479
you've got vehicles coming and going as

164
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:34,080
you said spacex is going to we're going

165
00:05:37,909 --> 00:05:36,240
to at this point at this point plan to

166
00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:37,919
unbear them on the 10th

167
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,639
atv coming coming off the station on the

168
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:42,960
14th shortly after that our russian

169
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:44,880
friends are going to going to launch a

170
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:46,960
progress vehicle to the same port where

171
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:49,919
atv is it will be vacating on the 14th

172
00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,320
and and then and then through ebas right

173
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,240
after that but yeah a lot of cargo ops

174
00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,560
right now a lot of research um once we

175
00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:58,720
get through this group of cargo vehicles

176
00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:02,160
uh we'll see spacex again in in april um

177
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:04,479
and uh and a lot of a lot of human

178
00:06:08,469 --> 00:06:06,639
research on that particular flight and

179
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:08,479
then then coming later in the summer is

180
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,759
when we're going to start to see some of

181
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:11,600
these things that it really is going to

182
00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:12,800
going to look like a little bit of a

183
00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:14,160
reassembly of station where you have

184
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,600
some new hardware showing up and we're

185
00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:17,039
going to have to be doing some module

186
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:18,960
movements and things like that so so

187
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:20,400
that's uh that's kind of what our future

188
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:21,840
is going to look like over the next six

189
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,720
to seven months it looks busy

190
00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:26,720
it's going to be very busy but it's uh

191
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:28,080
it's uh

192
00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:30,000
again that's that's part of why we do

193
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:31,919
this job is because you know we're

194
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:33,440
seeking to discover

195
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,360
and and we're learning as much about how

196
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:37,680
to get commercial uh you know vehicles

197
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,800
on station

198
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:40,240
as much as we are you know trying to

199
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:41,680
figure out how to get get out of low

200
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:43,759
earth orbit with our crews and so

201
00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:45,440
it's a great opportunity for station

202
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:47,199
there's a lot going on but but the

203
00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:48,800
team's up to the challenge and looking

204
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:50,639
forward to it yeah lots of challenges

205
00:06:54,469 --> 00:06:52,639
and but lots of great work also and and

206
00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:54,479
has been going on for quite a while as i

207
00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,840
mentioned so what we also will be um

208
00:07:01,110 --> 00:06:59,840
be able to uh partake in is the

209
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:01,120
anniversary

210
00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,240
of the expedition 1 the very first

211
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:06,639
mission where human presence was their

212
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:08,560
award the international space station

213
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:11,199
there were three crew members and that

214
00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:13,919
was back on november of 2000 so this

215
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:16,240
year we'll have 15 years of consistent

216
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,759
human presence can you tell me something

217
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:19,680
about that sure i mean it's a it's

218
00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:21,840
pretty amazing when you think about the

219
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,759
the amount of time and how fast it's

220
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:25,440
gone when you kind of live in these six

221
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:27,039
month increments like a lot of us do

222
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,440
around here but uh but just thinking

223
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:30,800
back to uh

224
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:34,000
when shep and and sergey uh uh flew that

225
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:35,599
flight you know we we all knew it was

226
00:07:39,350 --> 00:07:37,360
something special um

227
00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:39,360
that uh we weren't sure what the future

228
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:42,000
held um but uh just getting them up

229
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,520
there in that time frame it was a goal

230
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:45,280
that a lot of us had for a very long

231
00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:46,720
time

232
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:48,400
through all the design

233
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:50,240
phase part of station and to be at that

234
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:53,039
point where we could we could actually

235
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:54,800
fly a crew to station but but more

236
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:56,800
importantly keep them there and to be

237
00:08:01,670 --> 00:07:58,720
able to to do that and see where we've

238
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:01,680
come 15 years later is uh is a there's a

239
00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:04,160
lot of us are very proud and uh still at

240
00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:05,520
the end of the day we have to continue

241
00:08:09,830 --> 00:08:07,280
to be vigilant in the things that we do

242
00:08:11,670 --> 00:08:09,840
but uh but uh yeah there's it's been a

243
00:08:13,350 --> 00:08:11,680
great 15 years

244
00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:13,360

245
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,199
accomplishment and so you and your teams
