00:19:39,039 this is the ramsey's facility here 216 00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:42,080 and on the top is the power supply 217 00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:44,240 followed by the control 218 00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:46,880 and display keyboard here 219 00:19:51,990 --> 00:19:49,280 where you control all the pumps and you 220 00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:52,000 know input all the different things this 221 00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:54,160 is the stowage one the storage 222 00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:56,080 compartment 223 00:19:59,750 --> 00:19:57,919 and here we have the different sample 224 00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:59,760 trays for the different experiments 225 00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:02,000 we're going to run 226 00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:04,160 we have the gear drawers that slide out 227 00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:07,360 these are the sample bags here 228 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:09,360 this is uh the sample of the stuff that 229 00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:15,909 we also have some more of these sample 230 00:20:19,909 --> 00:20:18,160 things in the crimp and after we're done 231 00:20:22,710 --> 00:20:19,919 collecting we freeze the samples in the 232 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:25,669 coming down this is the main cell here 233 00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:27,200 this is where the electrophoresis 234 00:20:31,669 --> 00:20:29,039 happens 235 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:31,679 and here's the cell buffer pump it's a 236 00:20:35,590 --> 00:20:33,679 peristaltic 237 00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:35,600 a bunch of different tubes and just 238 00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:39,039 that's the medium that the 239 00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:45,590 this is the sample compartment 240 00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:48,000 the sample just slides right in here 241 00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:49,679 another peristaltic pump pumps the 242 00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:52,320 sample up through the chamber where it 243 00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:03,830 the collection areas the collection tray 244 00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:04,559 and 245 00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:06,720 the different each 41 246 00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:08,400 collects every 41 247 00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:15,990 and this is just some uh some of the 248 00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:17,760 plumbing of the equipment you know the 249 00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:20,240 different fluid loops a couple valves 250 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,000 things like that 251 00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:24,159 that in a nutshell is the ramsey's 252 00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:26,640 facility 253 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,559 i'm standing here next to biorack i 254 00:21:33,029 --> 00:21:30,880 think a biorack is sort of a mini space 255 00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:33,039 station because it's got these are fruit 256 00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:35,200 flies one of many experiments there's 257 00:21:39,029 --> 00:21:37,120 some 200 containers with different 258 00:21:41,270 --> 00:21:39,039 science going on in most of them it's 259 00:21:43,350 --> 00:21:41,280 got centrifuges for 1g controls you can 260 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:43,360 see those in the background it's got 261 00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:44,799 incubators that run at two different 262 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:46,720 temperatures and there's experiments 263 00:21:49,669 --> 00:21:48,400 from all over the world in biorack so 264 00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:49,679 it's a lot of fun to work because 265 00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:51,520 there's a lot of different things it's 266 00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:53,679 got its own cooler and down below it's 267 00:21:57,430 --> 00:21:55,840 got a glove box so that we can work with 268 00:21:59,590 --> 00:21:57,440 toxic things that we wouldn't otherwise 269 00:22:01,990 --> 00:21:59,600 be able to work with in space because we 270 00:22:04,310 --> 00:22:02,000 keep them contained inside the glove box 271 00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:04,320 so here i'm putting some things in there 272 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:06,000 and here's a shot from right in front 273 00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:07,760 just as i'm loading some things into the 274 00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:09,520 centrifuge we stop the centrifuge put 275 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:11,919 some containers in that way we can do 276 00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:14,720 controls on board do the exact same 277 00:22:17,029 --> 00:22:15,919 thing they're in the exact same 278 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:17,039 environment 279 00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:19,360 except that some are being spun at one g 280 00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:21,520 and some are being kept at zero g 281 00:22:26,710 --> 00:22:23,840 and today just for example besides the 282 00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:26,720 fruit flies i've irrigated some little 283 00:22:30,789 --> 00:22:28,880 seeds which are going to 284 00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:30,799 be growing in space and then we'll fix 285 00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:32,240 them later and sort of capture their 286 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:33,760 development 287 00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:35,520 here i'm getting getting into stowage 288 00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:37,919 for uh nazimi which lives right next to 289 00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:40,159 biorack it has a lot of similarity or a 290 00:22:43,669 --> 00:22:41,360 lot of 291 00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:43,679 relationship with my iraq it's different 292 00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:45,440 in that it's got a variable speed center 293 00:22:50,390 --> 00:22:47,760 fusion meanwhile chiaki is over on the 294 00:22:52,470 --> 00:22:50,400 uh at the workbench rack uh working on 295 00:22:54,470 --> 00:22:52,480 some experiments that will go into ffeu 296 00:22:55,669 --> 00:22:54,480 here where she's borrowing the biorack 297 00:22:58,070 --> 00:22:55,679 glovebox 298 00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:58,080 to do to inject some fluids from one 299 00:23:01,669 --> 00:22:59,679 syringe into another 300 00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:01,679 she's going to use these to run in the 301 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:04,240 ffu electrophoresis unit which we were 302 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:06,000 able to rescue by 303 00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:08,320 sort of repeated ifm's earlier in the 304 00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:10,799 week so we've been very happy to get to 305 00:23:15,669 --> 00:23:13,360 do some ffpu work because it's one of 306 00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:15,679 the facilities on board and in fact it 307 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:17,840 was the last facility to repair 308 00:23:20,950 --> 00:23:19,600 we've now had all the facilities worked 309 00:23:22,149 --> 00:23:20,960 in fact we kind of added up over the 310 00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:22,159 course of the flight we've been able to 311 00:23:26,149 --> 00:23:23,120 rescue 312 00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:26,159 significant parts of five of the 313 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:29,280 of the 20 or so facilities on board with 314 00:23:34,310 --> 00:23:32,240 ifms between the new removing the newt 315 00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:34,320 which was required to keep the fish 316 00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:37,760 package alive and repairing the eris 317 00:23:40,950 --> 00:23:39,600 echo machine which was required for both 318 00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:40,960 edomp 319 00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:42,640 and the canadian spinal changes in 320 00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:45,280 microgravity and then of course the ffbu 321 00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:47,679 that i already talked about and the sort 322 00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:49,440 of lucky touch with the fingers to get 323 00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:51,039 the hrm data 324 00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:54,080 from the rrmd jackie's using a 325 00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:55,679 microscope here just as you would on the 326 00:24:00,549 --> 00:23:58,159 ground to look at this condition of the 327 00:24:02,870 --> 00:24:00,559 cells that are in these little cassettes 328 00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:02,880 here's a look at the medaka the fish 329 00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:05,440 that are in one of those little packages 330 00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:07,600 two two males two family females in the 331 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:09,760 lower right corner you might be able to 332 00:26:06,070 --> 00:24:12,080 pick out uh some eggs it's a little bit 333 00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:07,510 go ahead george 334 00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:08,480 yeah 335 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:10,240 the nasda team traced back the last 336 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:12,960 usage of that cck 337 00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:15,760 mic and it was during 338 00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:17,840 the new injection so it may have been 339 00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:38,789 just looking at the eggs quickly before 340 00:26:42,870 --> 00:26:41,200 i put them in uh looks like we have 341 00:26:46,390 --> 00:26:42,880 stages i'm just guessing right now 342 00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:46,400 looking by eye 35 to 38 343 00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:49,279 with most of the uh eggs here 344 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,880 some of them have clearly defined tail 345 00:26:54,470 --> 00:26:52,640 buds and i can see the tails and some of 346 00:26:56,070 --> 00:26:54,480 the gills starting to form 347 00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:56,080 uh with some of the eggs there so they 348 00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:57,760 look uh they all look pretty healthy 349 00:27:01,190 --> 00:26:58,720 here 350 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:01,200 i can see maybe uh 351 00:27:05,269 --> 00:27:03,840 one or two possibly eggs that aren't 352 00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:05,279 doing so well but the other ones are all 353 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:15,350 okay dance it's very good news 354 00:29:15,190 --> 00:27:17,669 now we got uh transfor here under the 355 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:19,350 okay so ifm w-48 uh for step three wait 356 00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:21,840 till the uh nozzle temps are greater 357 00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:23,760 than 200 and i'll check back when 358 00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:25,279 complete uh we'll put it in work right 359 00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:27,760 away 360 00:29:33,269 --> 00:29:30,080 that's correct carl and be advised you 361 00:29:37,029 --> 00:29:33,279 have 11 hours of bullets 362 00:29:37,039 --> 00:30:08,630 okay 363 00:30:11,990 --> 00:30:10,310 and i just want to let you know that 364 00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:12,000 we've got live downlink now from the 365 00:33:57,509 --> 00:30:14,000 ball right glove box 366 00:34:02,070 --> 00:33:59,669 he was back there busily working on 367 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:02,080 experiments the scientist factor had a 368 00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:05,120 real uh difficult timeline 369 00:34:08,710 --> 00:34:06,880 here's a reenactment i just want to show 370 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:08,720 you how rick filled the syringe to over 371 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,240 pressure the pump 372 00:34:14,710 --> 00:34:12,320 we uh we squeezed out a ball of water on 373 00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:14,720 the end of the straw and that straw 374 00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:16,480 is not touching the syringe the ball of 375 00:34:21,030 --> 00:34:18,720 water is just floating freely and rick 376 00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:21,040 is pulling back on the end of the 377 00:34:34,389 --> 00:34:22,960 syringe sucking the water into it with 378 00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:35,829 and what i'd like to do this morning is 379 00:34:39,030 --> 00:34:37,359 give you a brief explanation about one 380 00:34:42,230 --> 00:34:39,040 of the major facilities we have here on 381 00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:42,240 iml2 and this is the aaeu which is short 382 00:34:47,829 --> 00:34:45,760 for aquatic animal experiment units 383 00:34:49,349 --> 00:34:47,839 and essentially this is a aquarium in 384 00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:49,359 space 385 00:34:54,069 --> 00:34:51,520 divided up into two halves 386 00:34:55,750 --> 00:34:54,079 over here we have the aquatic package 387 00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:55,760 and on the other side we have the fish 388 00:35:03,750 --> 00:34:57,119 package 389 00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:06,470 and three of these tanks have uh 390 00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:08,800 red belly japanese newts in them and 391 00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:13,670 we have one nude and two of the 392 00:35:17,109 --> 00:35:15,440 containers and then one of the tanks we 393 00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:17,119 have two newts in there 394 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:18,720 and in all the tanks we have an egg 395 00:35:23,750 --> 00:35:20,880 chamber also with many different uh nude 396 00:35:25,349 --> 00:35:23,760 eggs in them up to 70 or 80 eggs per uh 397 00:35:26,310 --> 00:35:25,359 water tank here 398 00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:26,320 and what we're doing with this 399 00:35:30,150 --> 00:35:28,320 experiment is having the nudes lay eggs 400 00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:30,160 in space and we're interested in how 401 00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:32,320 these eggs develop multiply and develop 402 00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:33,680 under zero gravity 403 00:35:36,310 --> 00:35:34,800 conditions 404 00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:36,320 and we'll compare these eggs to those 405 00:35:40,310 --> 00:35:37,920 grown on the ground ones that have 406 00:35:42,790 --> 00:35:40,320 developed under 1g conditions 407 00:35:44,950 --> 00:35:42,800 so this is one of our red bellied nuts 408 00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:44,960 one of them that i looked at just a few 409 00:35:48,710 --> 00:35:46,560 days ago if you were watching has laid 410 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:48,720 36 eggs already so we know we have a 411 00:35:55,670 --> 00:35:50,400 number of great eggs for the scientists 412 00:36:00,550 --> 00:35:59,030 besides the afternoons here we have uh 413 00:36:02,790
