multi-purpose 39 00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,320 laboratory module for long-term service 40 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:34,640 to the space station the spacewalking 41 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,280 pair established the necessary external 42 00:01:42,149 --> 00:01:39,360 cable connections between the nyoka 43 00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:42,159 module and the zvezda module 44 00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:44,320 tune in again on september 9th when the 45 00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:46,960 cosmonaut duo will venture outside once 46 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:49,600 again to conduct the second spacewalk to 47 00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:53,040 prepare the mlm module for operations in 48 00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,000 total there could be up to 11 spacewalks 49 00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:58,399 outside the russian segment required to 50 00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,119 complete all outfitting steps 51 00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:03,680 and join us on friday september 10th for 52 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:05,920 a nasa

00:02:15,520 issa astronaut toma pasquez will carry 56 00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:18,480 out the next in a series of planned evas 57 00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:21,040 on september 12th to continue with the 58 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:23,760 installation of the new irosa solar 59 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:26,400 array modification kits 60 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:29,120 before making landfall on august 29th 61 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:30,640 the crew on board the orbiting 62 00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:33,680 laboratory had a unique view of powerful 63 00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,319 hurricane ida and the gulf of mexico as 64 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,720 it approached the louisiana coastline of 65 00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:40,480 the united states 66 00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:43,519 looking absolutely massive from above 67 00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,440 this storm would grow to become a 68 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,160 devastating category 4 hurricane before 69 00:02:53,869 --> 00:02:50,560 it made landfall with maximum sustained 70 00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:53,879 winds of 150 miles per hour or 71 00:02:59,670 --> 00:02:56,720 241 kilometers per hour 72 00:03:02,229 --> 00:02:59,680 the iss and earth observing satellites 73 00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:02,239 have a unique view of these storms these 74 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,800 observations provide data that helps 75 00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:07,120 nasa work with partner agencies 76 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:09,760 including the national oceanographic and 77 00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:11,920 atmospheric administration to better 78 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:14,239 understand hurricanes and support 79 00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:17,280 preparation and disaster response 80 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,440 and that's space to ground for this week 81 00:03:21,620 --> 00:03:21,280 thanks for watching we'll see you next 82 00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:21,630 week
