1 00:00:08,290 --> 00:00:06,490 when they say it takes a village and 2 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:08,300 that's definitely the case with so many 3 00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:10,370 researchers with experiments on the 4 00:00:14,289 --> 00:00:11,870 space station a station research 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:14,299 facility has begun conducting the fourth 6 00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:15,970 in a series of experiments to study 7 00:00:21,790 --> 00:00:18,950 plasma crystals now pk4 is an experiment 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:21,800 that studies complex plasmas plasmas are 9 00:00:26,110 --> 00:00:24,530 ionized gases that are produced by high 10 00:00:28,090 --> 00:00:26,120 temperatures like from the Sun or 11 00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:28,100 electric fields well today we learn 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:30,440 about PK fours objectives and how 13 00:00:35,650 --> 00:00:32,450 operators at the catalyst control center 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:35,660 in France are helping be careful it's 15 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:38,450 ten for plasma crystal foo and it's 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:41,390 basically a chamber to create plasma and 17 00:00:46,510 --> 00:00:44,210 the microgravity and what is really 18 00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:46,520 interesting is that it's the cooperation 19 00:00:51,729 --> 00:00:48,740 between either and Rocco's mas in Russia 20 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:51,739 and it will be done in the European 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:54,050 module Columbus the other particularity 22 00:01:00,250 --> 00:00:56,930 it's at it's not an experiment with one 23 00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:00,260 scientist it's a laboratory and the 24 00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:03,920 experiment are led by a consortium of 25 00:01:08,770 --> 00:01:06,950 scientists for from entire Europe and 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:08,780 also from Russia so it's a good 27 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:11,530 cooperation and from from NASA of course 28 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:14,930 from united states and these people are 29 00:01:19,450 --> 00:01:16,880 walking all together and they have some 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:19,460 slots or some campaigns approximately 31 00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:22,610 four times a year where they can design 32 00:01:28,810 --> 00:01:26,120 a custom scientific protocol uploaded on 33 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:28,820 board in this laboratory and steady hot 34 00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:32,320 plasma can react until microgravity and 35 00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:36,340 manipulate all these plasma and physical 36 00:01:42,609 --> 00:01:40,670 parameters to get very good science we 37 00:01:45,340 --> 00:01:42,619 are only uploading a script via our 38 00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:45,350 facility in Cadmus so how does that work 39 00:01:50,109 --> 00:01:47,240 the scientists their work on a 40 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:50,119 scientific script so some programming 41 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:52,850 and we upload it on board few days 42 00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:54,530 before the experiment and everything is 43 00:02:00,340 --> 00:01:56,960 done from ground scientific sit next to 44 00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:00,350 us and can say okay put more DC voltage 45 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:02,960 and we do that and we can see the plasma 46 00:02:10,209 --> 00:02:05,330 moving in real time don't know if it's 47 00:02:12,399 --> 00:02:10,219 clear first of its kind study our for 48 00:02:14,170 --> 00:02:12,409 plasma not because it's bless my crystal 49 00:02:16,059 --> 00:02:14,180 for so I let you guys 50 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:16,069 well bless my crystal ball on Tuesday 51 00:02:21,099 --> 00:02:18,890 but I think it's the first time that we 52 00:02:22,679 --> 00:02:21,109 have a cooperation with so many partners 53 00:02:25,059 --> 00:02:22,689 usually it was more on Russian side 54 00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:25,069 what's it like to know that you're 55 00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:26,510 working with the international space 56 00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,359 station it's great it's a big Hana I'm 57 00:02:32,830 --> 00:02:31,040 very happy and this kind of event 58 00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:32,840 reminds me that it's really an 59 00:02:39,629 --> 00:02:35,540 international cooperation so I'm feeling 60 00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:39,639 really proud of it and had lots of 61 00:02:46,210 --> 00:02:42,049 happiness to work with international 62 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:46,220 space station what do you actually do my 63 00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:49,010 job is to help the European scientists 64 00:02:53,770 --> 00:02:51,049 or for international collaboration 65 00:02:56,259 --> 00:02:53,780 international scientists to have them 66 00:02:59,530 --> 00:02:56,269 experiment realized on board so 67 00:03:02,199 --> 00:02:59,540 basically I walk with them to elaborate 68 00:03:04,449 --> 00:03:02,209 to experiment concepts and sometimes we 69 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:04,459 develop some hardware we qualified from 70 00:03:09,459 --> 00:03:06,889 our dwell for space we develop all the 71 00:03:11,379 --> 00:03:09,469 operational scenario and products to 72 00:03:13,869 --> 00:03:11,389 have this experiment done on board and 73 00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:13,879 then on the big day we are supporting 74 00:03:19,930 --> 00:03:16,159 the experiment and science session from 75 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,940 ground from Cadmus in France and after 76 00:03:25,210 --> 00:03:22,400 that we are delivering to the p.i all 77 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:25,220 the data so that then can have good 78 00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:28,370 science results so you're the p.o I see
