1
00:01:07,240 --> 00:00:55,450
go ahead Columbia copy that Mike stand

2
00:01:15,850 --> 00:01:07,250
by one for any instructions Columbia

3
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:15,860
hunt oh yeah my god they're ready to let

4
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:17,150
you go ahead and activate those to

5
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:25,729
cancel also in addition to continuing

6
00:01:29,740 --> 00:01:27,710
work on the mid-deck of Columbia

7
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:29,750
mission specialist Mike Lopez Alegria

8
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:32,030
will also take some time to exercise

9
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:34,130
today on the bicycle ergometer that will

10
00:01:39,550 --> 00:01:37,490
be set up on Columbia's mid deck Mike

11
00:01:42,490 --> 00:01:39,560
Lopez Alegria is also the astronaut on a

12
00:01:58,109 --> 00:01:42,500
blue team can you verify that that is

13
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:01,920
copy that Brett the Zaca CEQA insertion

14
00:02:15,259 --> 00:02:08,920
is complete that's affirmative son now

15
00:02:15,269 --> 00:02:31,899
copy that Fred five point one

16
00:03:12,839 --> 00:02:34,190
they sell phones for Katy we did not

17
00:03:18,699 --> 00:03:16,240
and Katie that is the termination fluid

18
00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:18,709
the top plunger and the center plunger

19
00:04:03,100 --> 00:03:20,239
would terminate so we do not want to

20
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:12,700
I'm so sad for a CBC go ahead put them

21
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:16,370
under step one point one six assists to

22
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:18,769
remove kept on tape from the isolator

23
00:04:24,520 --> 00:07:07,180
copy different

24
00:07:12,649 --> 00:07:10,790
also upcoming for the crew in about 20

25
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:12,659
minutes one of the final activities for

26
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:14,190
the blue team will be a test of a new

27
00:07:19,159 --> 00:07:16,680
system being flown for the first time on

28
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:19,169
a shuttle onboard duct Columbian STS 73

29
00:07:23,570 --> 00:07:21,360
that system a system that allows a

30
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,580
ground tear television to be sent to

31
00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,440
television from the ground to be sent up

32
00:07:29,659 --> 00:07:28,080
a to the crew and a vice versa

33
00:07:32,210 --> 00:07:29,669
two-way television essentially after

34
00:07:34,219 --> 00:07:32,220
two-way conversations again the first

35
00:07:36,529 --> 00:07:34,229
test of that system which is being flown

36
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:36,539
is a test objective on this flight will

37
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:39,120
be taking place in just about 20 minutes

38
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:50,610
or so this concludes the pre-recorded

39
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:57,330
oblique transmission of the GA TV this

40
00:08:01,640 --> 00:07:59,039
is Mission Control Houston now that

41
00:08:04,939 --> 00:08:01,650
again has been a test of ground to air

42
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:04,949
television uplink to Columbia that

43
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:07,050
equipment being flown for the first time

44
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:11,849
on this flight again allowing scenes to

45
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:15,120
be sent up to the shuttle from the

46
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,370
ground from Mission Control that segment

47
00:08:20,719 --> 00:08:18,960
just a test segment with several

48
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:20,729
different test patterns and several

49
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:22,289
different highlights from past shuttle

50
00:08:33,949 --> 00:08:32,269
this shot now is live from Mission

51
00:08:36,529 --> 00:08:33,959
Control of a flight director Brian

52
00:08:41,930 --> 00:08:36,539
Austin and spacecraft communicator Carl

53
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:41,940
Meade again being sent up to Columbia as

54
00:08:46,490 --> 00:08:44,640
well again Columbia the first shuttle to

55
00:08:48,199 --> 00:08:46,500
fly with this equipment it's a test

56
00:08:50,319 --> 00:08:48,209
objective several other tests of the

57
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:50,329
ground air television capability will be

58
00:08:58,819 --> 00:08:53,310
performed throughout the 16 days a

59
00:09:00,800 --> 00:08:58,829
Columbia spins in general and we can see

60
00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:00,810
payload specialist al Sacco they're

61
00:09:06,220 --> 00:09:02,940
going into one of the stowage containers

62
00:09:11,949 --> 00:09:06,230
on the ceiling of the Space Lab module

63
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:14,150
apparatus that has to be stored in

64
00:09:23,380 --> 00:09:17,690
special areas of the module or

65
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:23,390
the shuttle mid-deck in lockers and all

66
00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:25,700
of that comes under the heading of

67
00:09:31,770 --> 00:09:29,600
stowage it's a one specialized aspect of

68
00:09:33,820 --> 00:09:31,780
preparing for a shuttle mission is just

69
00:09:35,170 --> 00:09:33,830
planning out where you're going to put

70
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:35,180
all the things that the crew will need

71
00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:40,810
to get access to for launch and landing

72
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:42,710
many of the things that they'll be using

73
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:45,890
during the course of the mission are put

74
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:52,400
away in particular areas so that they

75
00:09:57,330 --> 00:09:54,470
obviously saw that they aren't just

76
00:10:02,890 --> 00:09:57,340
floating around loose during those

77
00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:02,900
launch and landing periods and so now we

78
00:10:07,770 --> 00:10:05,390
get a better look with Sacco in the

79
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:07,780
foreground pulling down one of those

80
00:10:13,060 --> 00:10:11,210
stowage areas it's like a drawer that in

81
00:11:39,480 --> 00:10:13,070
this case though comes down vertically

82
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:47,610
Space Lab Huntsville with words on DPM

83
00:11:54,580 --> 00:11:50,830
yes Kathy DPM would like you to manually

84
00:12:48,710 --> 00:11:54,590
tune X to start with and see what

85
00:12:54,590 --> 00:12:51,470
this is in the Astro culture plant

86
00:12:56,869 --> 00:12:54,600
growth experiment system and it's the

87
00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:56,879
first opportunity that the science team

88
00:13:03,019 --> 00:12:59,519
for that experiment is having to take a

89
00:13:09,590 --> 00:13:03,029
look at sources for the next several

90
00:13:13,009 --> 00:13:09,600
minutes this is their first opportunity

91
00:13:16,749 --> 00:13:13,019
to see get a little insight into the

92
00:13:24,249 --> 00:13:16,759
status of the plant growth inside that

93
00:13:33,889 --> 00:13:29,689
allow potato seedlings to grow in

94
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:33,899
microgravity conditions the principal

95
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:35,730
investigator team here in Huntsville

96
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:38,970
advised that they're elated at the way

97
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:43,920
things look inside the facility it's a

98
00:13:52,220 --> 00:13:48,240
rather close-up view showing the tops of

99
00:13:55,759 --> 00:13:52,230
the leaflets there are about three of

100
00:13:58,699 --> 00:13:55,769
the small potato plant leaflets that are

101
00:14:04,519 --> 00:13:58,709
visible in this very detailed view the

102
00:14:10,689 --> 00:14:04,529
tubers that are the actual substance of

103
00:14:14,439 --> 00:14:10,699
the potatoes yes source of starch are

104
00:14:18,170 --> 00:14:14,449
buried or obscured by the leaflets and

105
00:14:21,499 --> 00:14:18,180
but the science team members are able to

106
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:21,509
judge the status of growth from what

107
00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:24,089
they see in this video and they've

108
00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:27,120
indicated that what they see tells them

109
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:28,800
that the plants so far at least are

110
00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:31,889
maintaining the vigor that they would

111
00:14:49,069 --> 00:14:46,170
and of course all of this is being done

112
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:49,079
as preliminaries preliminary steps to

113
00:15:16,110 --> 00:14:51,730
starting to go into the actual science

114
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:18,749
and Kathy we'd like you to go ahead and

115
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:20,649
move the injectors in please fully

116
00:15:55,319 --> 00:15:49,819
and now we could see those injectors

117
00:16:00,030 --> 00:15:55,329
coming in and contacting the small solid

118
00:16:13,079 --> 00:16:00,040
sphere immobilizing the sphere this is

119
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:13,089
another of the steps that's affirmative

120
00:16:34,770 --> 00:16:31,750
we get a pretty good close-up view of

121
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:34,780
the liquid injector systems here in this

122
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:38,210
video that's coming down they are one of

123
00:16:42,970 --> 00:16:40,310
the portions of this system that have

124
00:16:49,210 --> 00:16:42,980
been improved since the first flight on

125
00:16:55,660 --> 00:16:49,220
STS 50 us ml one the injectors and tips

126
00:17:04,930 --> 00:16:55,670
have been redesigned hand over to

127
00:17:06,970 --> 00:17:04,940
teacher sees this is space will have

128
00:17:09,190 --> 00:17:06,980
operations Huntsville where we are

129
00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:09,200
currently receiving downlink video from

130
00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:13,670
inside the chamber of the single Locker

131
00:17:19,060 --> 00:17:16,640
protein crystal growth experiment this

132
00:17:22,330 --> 00:17:19,070
particular experiment is crystal growth

133
00:17:24,310 --> 00:17:22,340
by liquid liquid diffusion for this

134
00:17:27,190 --> 00:17:24,320
experiment the protein crystals are

135
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:27,200
grown in for handheld diffusion test

136
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:30,160
cells which are often referred to as a

137
00:17:39,070 --> 00:17:34,610
THD t sees each one of these contains

138
00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:39,080
four test cells and by diffusing one

139
00:17:46,030 --> 00:17:42,380
liquid into another crystal growth is

140
00:17:49,060 --> 00:17:46,040
accomplished in this particular

141
00:17:51,250 --> 00:17:49,070
experiment the two different liquids are

142
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:51,260
brought into contact with each other but

143
00:17:57,670 --> 00:17:54,350
they are not actually mixed eventually

144
00:18:00,040 --> 00:17:57,680
these fluids will intermingle with one

145
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:00,050
another what is often refer to as

146
00:18:06,250 --> 00:18:03,200
diffusion through the random motion of

147
00:18:08,650 --> 00:18:06,260
molecules by gradually increasing the

148
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:08,660
concentration of the precipitant in the
