houston station on space to ground

2
00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:06,879
welcome to space to ground i'm sandra

3
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:09,360
jones this week the crew unpacked and

4
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:11,280
began science investigations that

5
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,440
arrived on a cargo vehicle and two

6
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:15,200
astronauts are about to head out the

7
00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:18,080
space station hatch for a spacewalk

8
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:20,400
last week four tons of supplies and

9
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:22,400
investigations arrived to the orbiting

10
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:24,400
laboratory on the northrop grumman

11
00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:27,359
crs-16 cargo craft and the crew has been

12
00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:29,599
busy unpacking the vehicle and getting

13
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,679
started on the science inside

14
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:33,440
one of those science experiments the

15
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:35,760
cardinal muscle investigation tests

16
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:38,000
whether microgravity can be used as a

17
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:40,239
research tool for understanding and

18
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,040
treating muscle loss on earth expedition

19
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:45,840
65 commander aki hoshide worked this

20
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:47,600
week on the cell gravisensing

21
00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:49,840
investigation which studies how cells

22
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:51,920
can detect gravity and changes in

23
00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:53,920
tension during space flight

24
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:55,840
the ring shear drop investigation

25
00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:57,760
studies the formation of potentially

26
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:00,160
destructive protein clusters like those

27
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:02,160
found in patients battling alzheimer's

28
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:04,799
and parkinson's ring-shared drop uses

29
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:06,320
the surface tension of the liquid

30
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:08,400
specimens to act as the container for

31
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,640
the experiment to learn more about all

32
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,400
of the science and research happening on

33
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:14,720
the space station follow us on twitter

34
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:17,439
at iss underscore research

35
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:19,360
two astronauts will take a break from

36
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:21,600
science to step out into the vacuum of

37
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:22,560
space

38
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,439
on tuesday august 24th jaxa astronaut

39
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:27,600
and current space station commander aki

40
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:30,000
hoshide and nasa astronaut mark vanda

41
00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:32,079
high will suit up and venture outside

42
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:33,119
the hatch

43
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,200
during the spacewalk the duo will build

44
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:37,200
and install a bracket that will be used

45
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:40,159
to attach an iss rollout solar array or

46
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:43,040
irosa in a future spacewalk because of

47
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,720
the size of the bracket it is sent to

48
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,640
space in pieces and assembled in

49
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,720
microgravity similar to how we put

50
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,720
together furniture here on earth the

51
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,799
crew will also swap out parts on the

52
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:54,720
floating potential measurement unit to

53
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:57,119
ensure it can provide readings for years

54
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,280
to come we'll be covering the entire

55
00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:01,920
spacewalk live on nasa tv the agency's

56
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,079
website and the nasa app tune in

57
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:06,320
beginning at 7am eastern time to check

58
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,360
it out

59
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:09,360
also be sure to watch our coverage of

60
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,680
the upcoming launch of the spacex cargo

61
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:13,760
resupply vehicle blasting off from

62
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:16,160
launch pad 39a at the kennedy space

63
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:19,280
center in florida crs-23 is slated to

64
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:21,760
launch on august 28th and will be packed

65
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:23,360
full of supplies and science

66
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:25,360
investigations with a ticket to the

67
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,599
international space station

68
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,760
and that's space to ground for this week

69
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:31,440
thanks so much for watching we'll see

70
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:32,800
you next week

71
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:44,790
so
