houston station on space to ground

2
00:00:08,950 --> 00:00:06,480
welcome to space to ground i'm leah

3
00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:08,960
cheshire mustachio the space station has

4
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:10,800
seven inhabitants hard at work once

5
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:12,160
again

6
00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:14,400
on november 11th nasa astronauts kayla

7
00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:16,640
baron rashachari and thomas marshburn

8
00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:18,560
and european space agency astronaut

9
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:20,000
matthias maurer arrived at the

10
00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:21,520
international space station aboard

11
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:23,840
nasa's spacex crew 3 mission the

12
00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:25,199
astronauts launched on wednesday

13
00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:27,279
november 10 just two days after their

14
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:29,119
counterparts returned home on the crew 2

15
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:30,800
mission and leading to the fastest

16
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:32,559
turnaround in history between a landing

17
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:34,640
and a launch the crew will live and work

18
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:36,079
aboard the orbiting laboratory for

19
00:00:39,910 --> 00:00:38,399
approximately six months to keep up with

20
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,920
their mission follow the international

21
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:41,840
space station on twitter instagram and

22
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:43,040
facebook

23
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:45,120
as soon as the crew 3 cohort arrived it

24
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:47,360
was time to get down to business

25
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:49,120
one of the major areas of scientific

26
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:50,719
research on the space station is on the

27
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:52,960
astronauts own bodies some of the first

28
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,640
experiments they perform help determine

29
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:56,079
their acclimation to the microgravity

30
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:57,760
environment testing functions like

31
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:59,600
dexterous manipulation effects on the

32
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:00,960
central nervous system and depth

33
00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:02,960
perception changes in bone and muscle

34
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:04,400
mass due to the release of phosphates

35
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,240
stored within and how an astronaut's

36
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,159
ability to visually interpret motion

37
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,080
orientation and distance may be affected

38
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:12,000
by the space flight environment these

39
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,600
studies help us better understand how to

40
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:15,360
prepare for and mitigate issues on

41
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:17,280
long-duration space flights and also

42
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:18,880
provide insight on how to improve

43
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,439
similar conditions for people on earth

44
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:23,119
after its arrival to the space station

45
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:24,960
in august north of grumman's cygnus is

46
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:27,040
scheduled to depart on saturday november

47
00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:28,400
20th

48
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,479
cygnus arrived with over 8 000 pounds of

49
00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:32,400
supplies scientific investigations

50
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:34,079
hardware and other cargo on the

51
00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:35,759
company's 16th commercial resupply

52
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:37,439
mission to the station over three months

53
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:38,320
ago

54
00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:40,000
northrop grumman named this spacecraft

55
00:01:43,749 --> 00:01:41,759
after former nasa astronaut ellison

56
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,759
onizuka the first asian american

57
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,600
astronaut flight controllers will

58
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:47,280
command the canada arm 2 to detach

59
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:49,280
cygnus and the waste packed inside and

60
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,960
release it for a destructive re-entry

61
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:52,640
into the earth's atmosphere

62
00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:54,240
after release cygnus will deploy the

63
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:56,320
kentucky reentry probe experiment which

64
00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:57,680
will test an affordable thermal

65
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,759
protection system to protect spacecraft

66
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:01,920
and their contents during re-entry

67
00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:03,280
live coverage of the spacecraft's

68
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:05,439
departure will begin at 10 45 a.m

69
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,799
eastern time

70
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:08,399
that's all for today on space to ground
