00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,360
international space station remained

5
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:13,599
focused on science while awaiting new

cosmodrome in kazakhstan the progress

13
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:33,760
spacecraft will then spend the next few

14
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:35,920
days in orbit catching up to the space

15
00:00:41,910 --> 00:00:37,920
station where it will dock on thursday

16
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:41,920
february 17th at 2 am eastern progress

17
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:44,800
ms-19 will automatically dock to the

18
00:00:50,189 --> 00:00:47,680
xena port of the poisk module it is

19
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:50,199
currently planned to stay docked for

20
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:54,399
196 days supporting both expedition 66

21
00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:57,360
and expedition 67 missions aboard the

22
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:59,120
iss

23
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:00,480
this week on board the orbiting

24
00:01:05,429 --> 00:01:02,960
laboratory matteus mauer teamed up with

25
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:05,439
his crewmate mark vandehei to work on

26
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,320
the european space agency's experiment

27
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:11,040
to develop acoustic tweezers

28
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:13,600
the duo conducted several experiment

29
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:16,400
scenarios for the ultrasonic tweezer

30
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:19,280
experiment to evaluate the possibility

31
00:01:24,149 --> 00:01:21,680
of trapping various objects either

32
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:24,159
single objects or multiple objects in

33
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:27,200
the acoustic field the objective of the

34
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:30,240
ultrasonic tweezer project is to develop

35
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:33,040
acoustic tweezers that use sound to

36
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:35,759
allow for remote and contactless

37
00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:38,159
manipulation of materials in a micro

38
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:39,759
gravity environment

39
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,479
in the experiment an ultrasound beam is

40
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:44,799
shaped so that it produces a trap from

41
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,159
which an object cannot easily exit by

42
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:50,720
moving the beam the object can be moved

43
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,960
to a new position with very good

44
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,720
precision

45
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:56,799
it will not be long before we see new

46
00:02:02,069 --> 00:01:59,680
faces join our crew on the space station

47
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:02,079
with two missions and final stages of

48
00:02:05,910 --> 00:02:03,680
preparation

49
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:05,920
nasa and its international partners

50
00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:08,399
approved the crew members for axiom

51
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:11,039
space's first private astronaut mission

52
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,120
to the international space station the

53
00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:15,760
flight called axiom mission 1 is

54
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:18,319
targeted to launch wednesday march 30th

55
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:21,360
from launch complex 39a at nasa's

56
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:23,760
kennedy space center in florida the crew

57
00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:26,879
of four will fly on spacex crew dragon

58
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:29,599
endeavor to the space station after 10

59
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:32,160
days of orbit the axiom one crew will

60
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:35,280
splash down off the coast of florida

61
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:37,840
nasa and spacex has also confirmed that

62
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:39,599
they are still targeting launch of the

63
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:42,480
crew 4 mission to the iss for friday

64
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:45,200

watkins as well as esa astronaut

67
00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:51,760
samantha christopher reddy will launch

68
00:02:56,670 --> 00:02:54,720
on board a new crew dragon capsule and

69
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:56,680
dock with the space station for their

70
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:59,200
180 day mission

71
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,280
and that's spaced around for this week

72
00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:03,040
thanks for watching we'll see you next
