00:00:04,789 --> 00:00:03,030
houston station on space to ground

2
00:00:06,389 --> 00:00:04,799
welcome to space to ground your weekly

3
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:06,399
look at what's happening on board the

4
00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:08,080
international space station i'm dan

5
00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:10,400
hewitt a white stork has arrived at the

6
00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:11,920
station and it's a little bit different

7
00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:14,000
from the birds you're familiar with

8
00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:17,119
japan's fifth htv vehicle named konotori

9
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:19,199
which means white stork in japanese

10
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:21,279
arrived with almost five tons of cargo

11
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,160
on august 24th jaxa astronaut camilla

12
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:26,320
yui used the station's robotic arm to

13
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:28,240
capture the unmanned craft and it was

14
00:00:32,470 --> 00:00:30,640
bolted to the station a few hours later

15
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,480
the station crew now has about five

16
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:34,480
weeks to unload the thousands of pounds

17
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,640
of supplies on board before they pack it

18
00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:38,399
up with trash and send it on a fiery

19
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:40,879
ride to burn up in earth's atmosphere

20
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,640
and it was a very quick end of summer

21
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:44,399
road trip for three crew members this

22
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:46,320
week with the relocation of their soyuz

23
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,879
spacecraft the trio climbed into the

24
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,640
vehicle and moved it from one docking

25
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,399
port to another to clear the way for the

26
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:54,640
arrival of the next three-man crew set

27
00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:57,360
for september 4th italian astronaut luca

28
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,559
parmitano was on board back in 2013 the

29
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:02,399
last time this kind of maneuver happened

30
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:04,080
so we caught up with him to ask what it

31
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:07,280
was like it was a very long day in a way

32
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,320
but

33
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,960
my memory went very quickly because

34
00:01:15,109 --> 00:01:12,560
it's an incredibly cool thing to

35
00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:15,119
manually undock your spacecraft flight

36
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:16,880
around the space station and then

37
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:19,360
manually docking again it's the closest

38
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:21,200
thing you get to be

39
00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:22,799
luke skywalker

40
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,640
and with school back in session we have

41
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:26,880
a new site to help teachers and students

42
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,560
bring the wonders of the space station

43
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:30,960
straight into the classroom the new stem

44
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:33,200
on station page is a one stop shop for

45
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:35,840
lesson plans videos and up to the minute

46
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:37,920
education news from humanity's home in

47
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:40,159
low earth orbit there are also a number

48
00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:42,000
of ways for students to get involved

49
00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:44,079
from talking to astronauts to designing

50
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:46,880
research that actually flies in space

51
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:50,240
head on over to nasa.gov education
