I feel safe I forgive you go ahead Kathy
let me know and I'll quit working on as
you can see this is like autoclave
number two very similar population of
very small where I suspect the gel
chronicles a couple of bubbles mixed in
and I don't believe there's any lights
here at this time let's switch the glove
box camera day microscope camera happy
dance
they saw panse will ferrell we're
receiving the microscope view now guys
you can see without a uniform populated
of what I suspect the job chronicles
couple of bubbles
alright that's about it copy that fifty
number seven is a gel we don't really
need to switch to something else eight
is also a jealous viscous 10 and 9 at
gels 11 is still a gel at 12 is still a
job and they all look pretty much the
same improve us like this one copy there
ok out the pictures that you sent back
and the last run show us that the
crystallites are much bigger and better
than we expected and the grand
scattering that we're getting is
saturating the screen so we can't get a
good reading of what the crystal
structure is so the idea is to do a run
again of some of the old samples with a
lower aperture setting and also to try
and modernize the samples and get
smaller crystallites for our comparisons
for what we get on the ground that's
where we want to do why we changed
procedures so we can do the samples that
we've already run again we also want to
see whether they've annealed and grown
bigger and things like that because they
just grown much better than we expected
that's essentially the rationale and
since the crystallites are much bigger
we think we can get away with a shorter
run for the averaging for the Bragg
scattering sounds good to me and that's
nice to hear that you get something
unexpected that our positive a copy
their beautiful pictures and beautiful
crystals
and I'd like a question on a homogenous
Asian precision we're now receiving live
video downlink from inside the glove box
facility the colloidal disorder order
transition experiment or seedot is being
performed in this glove box facility at
the moment earlier in the mission this
experiment was set up and at various
times throughout the mission crew member
set up cameras in the glove box facility
in order to view the progress of the
crystals that are growing in this
colloidal solution
we are now receiving live video downlink
looking at the top view of the drop
physics module chamber
the experiment on the ground experiment
team on the ground has the capability to
view both of these experiment cameras
simultaneously due to the high packed
digital television technology
demonstration
the direction of the force being applied
to the drop is from the top and the
bottom this causes the drop to be
squeezed or compressed in the center and
causes the drop to elongate in a
horizontal direction if you look at the
top view of this drop on the left side
of the screen you can see that there is
very little change in the dimensions of
the drop looking at the top however from
the side looking from the side or the
right-hand view the drop the drop
continues to be compressed from the top
and bottom directions with the vertical
direction as kathy thornton continues to
increase the strength of the acoustic
force that is compressing the straw the
width of the drop continues to become
larger and the height continues to
decrease
the experiment team for this experiment
is looking we are receiving line video
downlink from a brad camera that is
located in the glove box facility this
is used on the colloidal disorder order
transition experiment this is an
experiment that looks at glass spheres
to look at how liquids form solids these
glass spheres are used because the
forces that act on these glass spheres
are very simple and they can be used to
model other materials that would have
that would be composed of atoms these
atoms would have a much more complicated
force acting upon these atoms and
therefore the interaction of the liquid
and the solid would be much more
difficult to understand so they use
these glass fears in order to look at
the transition that these glass fears go
through when they change from a liquid
state to a solid state
the equipment seen here is part of an
apparatus designed to help meet the
needs of growing food and plant items in
space alright now we're looking at some
footage of a potato plant being grown
aboard the space shuttle Columbia right
now the special systems built into the
astra culture equipment includes systems
for the delivery of nutrients to the
plants the modes for fluid flow and
fluid delivery to the plants are
different in the microgravity
environment of space and the astra
culture team has developed specialized
equipment to help feed and water the
potato plant we see growing here
additionally they have developed
subsystems which provide for the control
of the humidity or the level of water in
the air around the plant and also
they've developed some special lighting
systems which are very low power
consumption lighting systems so that
they're very efficient for use in the
spacecraft environment
hot spell Columbia Huntsville go ahead
hey Angie its mike la good morning
listen I was wondering if we could get a
head start on PA o event set up and be
able to reconfigure some of the switches
down here with the vest stand by LA and
I'll check for you and let you know okay
and payload specialist Fred Leslie he's
taking a brief exercise break before his
shift begin in a short while
I'm so Claudia to be more specific what
I wanted to do is take your DPM to
source from the orbital 1 / I back to
channel psych easy or we don't want to
handle for some help copy that la and
that'll be fine you can go ahead and do
that
you
