00:00:00,626 --> 00:00:04,366
WELCOME TO SPACE TO GROUND...

2
00:00:04,416 --> 00:00:06,486
YOUR WEEKLY LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENING ONBOARD THE

3
00:00:06,486 --> 00:00:07,956
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION...

4
00:00:08,146 --> 00:00:09,006
I'M CRAWFORD JONES....

5
00:00:09,536 --> 00:00:13,166
EXPEDITION 44 SAW ITS FIRST
FULL WEEK WITH A SIX-MAN CREW,

6
00:00:13,216 --> 00:00:16,866
AND IT WAS A BUSY ONE, WITH A
BIG FOCUS ON SPACEWALK PREPS.

7
00:00:17,316 --> 00:00:19,836
CREWMEMBERS WORKED ON U-S
SPACESUIT MAINTENANCE,

8
00:00:19,836 --> 00:00:22,856
INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT
A FAN PUMP SEPARATOR IN ONE

9
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,686
OF THE SUITS TO GET
IT SPACE READY.

10
00:00:24,686 --> 00:00:27,016
MEANWHILE, COSMONAUTS
GENNADY PADALKA

11
00:00:27,016 --> 00:00:29,046
AND MIKHAIL KORNIENKO PREPARED

12
00:00:29,046 --> 00:00:32,806
FOR THEIR PLANNED AUGUST TENTH
SPACEWALK...THE DUO WILL REPLACE

13
00:00:32,846 --> 00:00:36,216
EXTERNAL EXPERIMENTS AND INSPECT
THE STATION'S RUSSIAN SEGMENT

14
00:00:36,216 --> 00:00:38,836
EXTERIOR...THEY'LL EVEN DO
A LITTLE WINDOW WASHING.

15
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:40,956
ASTRONAUT KJELL LINDGREN GOT

16
00:00:40,986 --> 00:00:44,136
TO DO A SOME GARDENING DURING
HIS FIRST WEEK ONBOARD STATION.

17
00:00:44,466 --> 00:00:47,016
HE WORKED WITH THE VEGGIE
EXPERIMENT, WHICH USES A CHAMBER

18
00:00:47,016 --> 00:00:49,476
TO GROW VEGETABLES -
CURRENTLY A LETTUCE CROP

19
00:00:49,476 --> 00:00:51,456
THAT WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN
TO THE GROUND FOR TESTING.

20
00:00:51,806 --> 00:00:54,146
THE HOPE IS FOR LONG
DURATION SPACE TRAVELERS

21
00:00:54,146 --> 00:00:55,216
TO GROW THEIR OWN FOOD.

22
00:00:55,506 --> 00:00:58,106
AND LATER THIS YEAR, THE
ASTRONAUTS WILL ACTUALLY GET

23
00:00:58,136 --> 00:01:00,816
TO SAMPLE THESE SPACE
CROPS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

24
00:01:00,976 --> 00:01:04,096
THIS WEEK MITCH WANTS TO KNOW IF
FUTURE SPACESHIPS ON THEIR WAY

25
00:01:04,096 --> 00:01:06,306
TO PLACES LIKE MARS
WILL STOPOVER

26
00:01:06,306 --> 00:01:07,706
AT THE SPACE STATION FIRST...

27
00:01:08,026 --> 00:01:11,576
WELL, THE STATION IS BEING
USED AS A STOPOVER...JUST NOT

28
00:01:11,576 --> 00:01:12,636
IN THE WAY YOU MIGHT THINK.

29
00:01:12,826 --> 00:01:16,516
THERE ARE NO PLANS TO USE THE
I-S-S AS A LITERAL LAUNCH POINT

30
00:01:16,516 --> 00:01:19,906
TO DEEP SPACE, BUT WE ARE USING
IT TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT WE NEED

31
00:01:19,906 --> 00:01:22,396
TO TAKE US THERE...EXPERIMENTS
LIKE VEGGIE

32
00:01:22,396 --> 00:01:24,226
AND THE ONGOING HABITABILITY
STUDY,

33
00:01:24,506 --> 00:01:27,556
WHICH LOOKS AT HOW A SPACE
VEHICLE'S LAYOUT CAN AFFECT

34
00:01:27,556 --> 00:01:30,416
THINGS LIKE TEAM DYNAMICS
AND HEALTH, ARE JUST A COUPLE

35
00:01:30,416 --> 00:01:33,476
OF EXAMPLES OF THE STATION'S
ROLE IN OUR JOURNEY TO MARS.

36
00:01:33,896 --> 00:01:35,146
