2
00:00:14,789 --> 00:00:11,910
in the wee hours of this morning wearing

3
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:14,799
a mask and a headlamp nasa astronaut

4
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:16,720
jeff williams opened the hatch to the

5
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:20,880
darkened beam module at 3 47 a.m central

6
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:24,400
time 4 47 a.m eastern time and along

7
00:00:29,669 --> 00:00:26,800
with his russian cosmonaut

8
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:29,679
uh alex gropocha entered the beam the

9
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:32,320
bigelow expandable activity module for

10
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:33,520
the first time

11
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:40,389
upon entering williams told flight

12
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:42,000
controllers i'm here at mission control

13
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:44,640
houston that beam looked pristine and

14
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:47,120
that it was cold inside but there is no

15
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:49,280
evidence of any condensation on the

16
00:01:00,069 --> 00:00:56,950
the duo collected data from sensors on

17
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:00,079
the dynamics of beams expansion

18
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,480
on may 26th and 28th

19
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:04,159
and is currently being downlinked for

20
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:12,230
capcom jessica mir during the orbit 1

21
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:14,159
shift told williams that the temperature

22
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:16,720
at the aft bulkhead of beam was reading

23
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:19,759
44 degrees fahrenheit just what was

24
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:22,159
expected in the pre-launch analysis of

25
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:23,759
the characteristics of the expandable

26
00:01:39,190 --> 00:01:36,950
this morning the duo entered beam to

27
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:39,200
collect the air sample then came out and

28
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:41,200
entered again to collect the deployment

29
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:43,920
data from the sensors

30
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:45,920
they checked that the air tanks were

31
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:46,960
empty

32
00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:48,799
and then they cleaned up and closed the

33
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,270
over the next two days they have a few

34
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,759
more additional ingress opportunities

35
00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:57,920
more opportunities to enter beam and

36
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,479
deploy other sensors and equipment

37
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:02,479
inside that are scheduled to take place

38
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:05,360
again tuesday and wednesday

39
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:07,920
each time after they enter

40
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:09,039
whenever they're done with the

41
00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,479
activities they will

42
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:12,480
the hatch will be closed after each

43
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:20,470
after these next two opportunities on

44
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:22,480
tuesday and wednesday there's no

45
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:24,640
timetable for another entrance into beam

46
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:26,319
after wednesday

47

project manager

48
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,560
of beam rajib descuda estimates about

49
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:32,000
six to seven

50
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:41,990
beam expanded from its packed

51
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:44,319
configuration to four times its

52
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:47,760
compressed size on saturday may 28th

53
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:49,200
astronauts on board the orbiting

54
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:51,519
laboratory we'll be entering the module

55
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:53,519
periodically to work with different

56
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:56,800
tests looking specifically at radiation

57
00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:59,760
impact and temperature over its two-year

58
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:01,519
long stay on the international space

59
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,070
expandable modules save a lot of room

60
00:03:12,309 --> 00:03:10,400
when being shipped to space in fact beam

61
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:12,319
was carried to the station in the

62
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:14,879
unpressurized trunk of the dragon

63
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:21,830
this technology could be used in future
