1 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:20,630 ready to go again 2 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:23,190 and atlantis they tab for biorack we 3 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:26,560 have a good view of space hab 4 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,589 okay 5 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:40,390 for fo 14 step 12 that actually needs to 6 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:41,920 be started 7 00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:45,360 about 10 minutes before the timer goes 8 00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:46,319 off 9 00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:49,599 so that you are at the appropriate sub 10 00:03:04,309 --> 00:02:50,720 step 11 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,710 this started about 10 minutes before the 12 00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:08,159 timer goes off 13 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:55,110 and we copy 14 00:03:59,350 --> 00:03:56,630 just want to give you a little tour of 15 00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:59,360 mir i'm jerry lenninger of course and 16 00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,439 i'm in the base block where you see most 17 00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,840 of the pictures that come out of mirror 18 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:05,519 it's the table where we all gather to 19 00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:09,200 eat uh when the time is available 20 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:10,959 got quite a bit of gear we have a little 21 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,280 sleep cabin over this way 22 00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:15,120 and charlie's gonna have a hard time 23 00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:16,959 flying with all the cords so but he's 24 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:19,120 gonna do the best job he can given the 25 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:20,560 circumstance 26 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:22,320 but inside the sleep cabin there's also 27 00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:24,000 a little window that you can look out 28 00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:27,520 with good earth observation 29 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:29,120 bag sitting right here 30 00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:30,880 this happens to be the commander sleep 31 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:32,400 station 32 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:33,919 and he's got a little mirror he's got 33 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:36,720 some personal pictures uh 34 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:37,919 pens 35 00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:40,320 patches 36 00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:42,400 mirror 23 patch for example 37 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:44,960 decorating his walls got a cd player 38 00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:47,440 little uh tape players to relax and take 39 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:49,520 life easy so this is where the commander 40 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,790 what else we have interesting this is 41 00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:57,199 actually a little tool area where you 42 00:05:01,909 --> 00:04:59,360 can pull the table down and do some 43 00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:01,919 pretty heavy pounding it's a good solid 44 00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:04,960 steel surface and comes in very handy 45 00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:07,039 when you're doing repair work so that 46 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:08,960 one of the air generating systems is 47 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:11,759 here and also the co2 48 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,320 cleaning system is here along with a 49 00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:16,800 with a block threading premises which 50 00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,039 takes out contaminants in the air and 51 00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:21,600 all those run in this module and this is 52 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:23,440 also a module where we're having some 53 00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,240 cooling leak problems and we did some uh 54 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:28,320 repairs where we cut two 55 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:30,240 and basically blocked them off with some 56 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:31,280 plugs 57 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:32,639 and it's as you can see it's very 58 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:34,800 difficult to work uh the area has to get 59 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:36,560 cleared we had it totally cleared for 60 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:38,880 about four weeks 61 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,800 looking for the leaks and it's very very 62 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,800 difficult to work back here we're able 63 00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:44,400 to find one leak but we still have some 64 00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:46,639 problems so uh mike's gonna have his 65 00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:49,199 hands full uh working back here 66 00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:51,199 finding the leak is one thing and then 67 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:52,800 getting access to the leak is a 68 00:05:57,670 --> 00:05:55,360 different uh ball game 69 00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:57,680 and we'll back back out by the way the 70 00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:59,440 fire i guess is kind of interesting 71 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:01,440 people have heard about the fire the 72 00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:04,800 player was basically in this region here 73 00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:08,160 with the flame shooting across this way 74 00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:09,759 and therefore as you can see where the 75 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,759 camera is is basically where i was at 76 00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:13,680 and we had one other body in front of me 77 00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:16,400 i was passing the fire extinguisher 78 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:18,840 but we can only get one person in 79 00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:20,720 here to fight the fire because of the 80 00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:24,080 flame location and uh at that time the 81 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,160 other soyuz was on the other side where 82 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:28,479 progress is now docked so as you can see 83 00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:30,479 it would have been very difficult to get 84 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:33,199 through the flame itself to get to the 85 00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:35,280 one of the rescue vehicles 86 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,639 and it was very difficult to fight the 87 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:38,000 player because you could only get one 88 00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:41,600 body close enough to the player itself 89 00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:44,160 visibility in here was basically 90 00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:46,240 no visibility and where charlie is with 91 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,759 the camera right now 92 00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:49,680 it was you could 93 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:51,280 sort of see your fingers if you looked 94 00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:54,000 hard so it was very very dense smoke and 95 00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:55,520 uh 96 00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,160 don't want to repeat of course but 97 00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:02,400 player in space is a different sort of 98 00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:04,319 entity than player down on the earth is 99 00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:07,440 what i learned through that experience 100 00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:10,319 what you're hearing right now is the 101 00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,400 system right over here which is a co2 102 00:07:16,309 --> 00:07:14,160 cleaning system 103 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:16,319 and a ventilator right next to it the 104 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:18,160 ventilator is aimed at it because one of 105 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:20,080 the repairs that we did 106 00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:22,240 was to a fan the cooling release of 107 00:07:26,950 --> 00:07:24,639 course cools the air uh coming through 108 00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:26,960 the uh 109 00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:29,919 a series of tubes basically and a fan 110 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,240 blows through those two and the cool air 111 00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:34,960 helps cool this system 112 00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:37,360 commander's post right here which is of 113 00:07:45,909 --> 00:07:38,800 course interesting and commander 114 00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:47,749 and facility says hello to everybody 115 00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:50,319 doing a little work at the command post 116 00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:52,639 he's got his uh scope down here a couple 117 00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:54,960 crt tubes and there's a lot of different 118 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:56,879 commands in this area 119 00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:59,680 and over here is actually your uh signal 120 00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:00,720 of that 121 00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:02,160 bolt or your 122 00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:03,840 panel that gives you all your caution 123 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,400 and warning alarms 124 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,240 fire extinguishers are here and they're 125 00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:10,400 located there at every module 126 00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,199 vital piece of gear and the things that 127 00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:15,440 i think pretty much uh saved our lives 128 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:16,800 are these uh 129 00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:19,280 oxygen breathing devices and uh during 130 00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:20,720 the fire of course that had to go on 131 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:22,639 quickly so they're located in nice 132 00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:25,120 location and we've been resupplied 133 00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:26,800 and everything's in place on the last 134 00:08:30,390 --> 00:08:28,879 progress 135 00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:30,400 this is my little corner at the moment 136 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:33,760 for uh the greenhouse experiment 137 00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:35,039 um 138 00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:36,320 greenhouse we'll show you in a minute 139 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,519 it's in another module called the 140 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:39,120 crystal module 141 00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:40,640 but uh 142 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,159 when we grow these uh basically going to 143 00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,800 try and grow plants over a period of uh 144 00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:46,399 a month cycle 145 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:48,399 from one seed planting 146 00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:50,560 uh through a pollination through a 147 00:08:54,389 --> 00:08:52,240 flowering 148 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,399 and then through a harvest of the seeds 149 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:56,399 and then a replanting of the seeds i 150 00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:58,720 hope to uh do this with sasha zootkin 151 00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:00,959 the bought engineer on this flight 152 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:03,200 and do this over a period of um 153 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,080 about 90 days three cycles 154 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,640 this is a glove box that came from ames 155 00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:11,040 and we'll use this glove box to uh do 156 00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:13,920 all the very fiddly tricky operations 157 00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:15,360 with the seeds and the fixations with 158 00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:16,560 chemicals 159 00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:19,839 it's a major part of my experiment 160 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:21,440 so down the outside of the station it's 161 00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:22,959 a sprawling station when you're doing an 162 00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:27,760 eva it's uh not like being inside the 163 00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,320 concave surface of the payload bay and 164 00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:32,720 instead it's convex the whole way you 165 00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:34,399 feel like you're falling 166 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,080 the entire time it feels like the space 167 00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:38,399 station itself is falling 168 00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,399 to the point of free-falling parachuting 169 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:42,240 it gives you that sensation pretty much 170 00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,760 the whole time 171 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:45,680 throughout and when it gets dark you 172 00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,040 definitely don't want to be moving on 173 00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:49,440 the surface when it gets dark 174 00:09:53,750 --> 00:09:51,600 that instant you are basically blind 175 00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:53,760 until your eyes adjust maybe three or 176 00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:55,440 four minutes later then you start seeing 177 00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:57,680 some of the form of the space station 178 00:10:02,070 --> 00:10:00,160 but when i say it gets dark it gets dark 179 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:02,080 to the point where i've never seen dark 180 00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:05,200 as dark as the instant uh the sun sets 181 00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:06,480 and you're out there on the outside of 182 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,880 the space station falling even in the 183 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:10,399 dark it feels like you're falling for 184 00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,240 some reason 185 00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:15,120 on the surface of the uh space station 186 00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:17,680 uh it is also very crowded with 187 00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:20,480 experiments with solar sensors 188 00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:22,640 and of course with the uh big solar 189 00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:26,240 arrays and at many times i was 190 00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:28,320 fairly trapped and could not go one way 191 00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:30,079 or another the handrail in front of me 192 00:10:32,870 --> 00:10:31,600 had an experiment attached that was 193 00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:32,880 maybe a 194 00:10:36,949 --> 00:10:35,120 meter or two across and so there were no 195 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:36,959 options to go anywhere 196 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,120 so on the surface getting from point a 197 00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:41,519 to point b was not a straight line by 198 00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:43,120 any means there was a lot of dead ends 199 00:10:46,150 --> 00:10:44,399 along the way 200 00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,160 and at one point actually to find our 201 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:48,079 way back to the uh 202 00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:50,800 to the hatch to come back in uh silly 203 00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:53,760 and i both pushed off as far as we could 204 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:55,920 uh to try to get a broader perspective 205 00:10:59,430 --> 00:10:57,839 because you have just like i feel right 206 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:59,440 now you have things all around you you 207 00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:01,600 can't see the big view you're kind of 208 00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:03,920 the trees and you can't see the forest 209 00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:05,600 and this is the soyuz rescue vehicle 210 00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:06,720 right now 211 00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:09,120 and the hatch is right here so it's a 212 00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,640 tight squeeze i'll just demonstrate 213 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,320 getting in but it's 214 00:11:17,509 --> 00:11:14,880 it's not a easy way to get in this 215 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:17,519 little vehicle and right now i am in the 216 00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,079 uh the round ball that you normally see 217 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:22,640 the living section 218 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,440 okay 219 00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:25,920 this table very nice soft velcro and i 220 00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:27,680 found this the most effective place to 221 00:11:31,269 --> 00:11:30,240 do work if i had surface sampling or air 222 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:31,279 sampling 223 00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:33,760 i'd organize my work right here put 224 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:35,839 everything in nice order and then fly to 225 00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:37,920 the place where i had to do the sampling 226 00:11:39,470 --> 00:11:38,720 good 227 00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:39,480 and 228 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:43,440 show you here is part of the t horse uh 229 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:44,800 freezer unit which we pulled out 230 00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:46,079 yesterday 231 00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:47,519 builds up isil around it and if you can 232 00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:49,360 look down here on the floor 233 00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:50,959 this thing is just 234 00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:53,200 soaking with water and i've been using 235 00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:54,320 um 236 00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:56,160 jerry's old exercise equipment and 237 00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,680 underwear 238 00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:59,040 which i expect he's going to throw away 239 00:12:01,750 --> 00:11:59,839 at least 240 00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,760 i hope he does 241 00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:03,920 i've been using it to uh wipe up all the 242 00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:05,200 water on this 243 00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:08,000 on this freezer unit 244 00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:10,000 water everywhere a is a problem and it 245 00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:12,320 does collect in the strangest places 246 00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:14,160 generally over here um jerry and i have 247 00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:16,240 been kind of joey's been using this area 248 00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,480 as a as a wash area while uh we've been 249 00:12:21,430 --> 00:12:20,160 doing our handover 250 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:21,440 um 251 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:23,040 and he's probably gonna clean out this 252 00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:24,880 side i just been living on this side of 253 00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:25,600 it 254 00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:27,680 as a general principle i think the goal 255 00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:30,079 is to reduce how much water we use and 256 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:32,000 how much wet tiles we leave around 257 00:12:36,069 --> 00:12:34,000 because of the water problem condensing 258 00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:36,079 on pipes everywhere so i'm going to try 259 00:12:40,870 --> 00:12:38,800 and minimize all of the wet towels 260 00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:40,880 as you all know john and shannon worked 261 00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:42,639 quite a lot with the greenhouse 262 00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:44,720 it's called svetin russian and i'm going 263 00:12:48,629 --> 00:12:46,560 to be working with this uh on this with 264 00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,639 um session lazukin as i say we're doing 265 00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:50,560 a seed to seed experiment which has 266 00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:52,720 never been done before in space taking 267 00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,120 um basically rape seeds is related to 268 00:12:59,829 --> 00:12:57,440 broccoli and growing down over a cycle 269 00:13:01,350 --> 00:12:59,839 of 30 to 40 days three times we hope 270 00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:01,360 during my mission 271 00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:03,120 and this is where shannon and john did 272 00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:04,240 their harvesting right now you can just 273 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:05,920 see loose pieces floating around i have 274 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:07,920 a mass of bags that i'm going to be uh 275 00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:10,240 unpacking and organizing to set this up 276 00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:12,079 again with a new gas exchanger and new 277 00:13:16,710 --> 00:13:14,240 uh root modules that fit in the lower 278 00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:16,720 part of this um orange rare as they call 279 00:13:21,829 --> 00:13:19,200 it or greenhouse 280 00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:21,839 mike i've come 281 00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:23,680 on an ideal of the tight 282 00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:25,440 spaces that we work in so when mike's 283 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:27,920 doing this experiment uh with sasha 284 00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:29,760 they're going to be stacked up like this 285 00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:31,839 a lot of times and 286 00:13:36,389 --> 00:13:34,720 a lot of old gear and that's why uh we 287 00:13:38,069 --> 00:13:36,399 really appreciate all the efforts of the 288 00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:38,079 people on the ground to get gear out of 289 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:40,639 here and i uh for example the edls on 290 00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:42,000 the late call this morning it was a 291 00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:44,079 great call we got another locker open so 292 00:13:48,069 --> 00:13:46,320 uh great work and we all appreciate it 293 00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:48,079 we're about out of time i just want to

you through it 297 00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:57,440 uh it's a pretty pleasant place to live 298 00:14:02,310 --> 00:13:59,279 when you can get a space to look like 299 00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:05,110 well uh rob i just like to say that uh 300 00:14:09,189 --> 00:14:07,120 this is a great day for us it's a little 301 00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:09,199 bit sad of course because uh thrilling 302 00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:10,800 flight is coming to an end and we're 303 00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,839 gonna have to 304 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:13,519 separate the vehicles here tomorrow 305 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,399 morning 306 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:16,639 and that'll be a bittersweet memory for 307 00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:17,360 us 308 00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:19,199 we've had a great time getting mike 309 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:21,519 ready to take over the place uh 310 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:23,279 and fill the big shoes that jerry's left 311 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:25,360 behind here with a lot of progress being 312 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,160 made on board we've had a great uh 313 00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:30,399 progress towards making things uh work 314 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:32,880 better for our joint science program and 315 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:34,560 uh we're happy that we were able to pull 316 00:14:37,189 --> 00:14:35,360 it off 317 00:14:39,350 --> 00:14:37,199 this is marcia dunham the associated 318 00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:39,360 press again for dr lenninger i'm 319 00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:41,360 wondering do you plan to try to walk off 320 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,279 the shuttle upon landing or would you 321 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:45,360 just prefer to be carried off as your 322 00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:47,360 predecessor was and do you think the 323 00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:49,199 curtailment of exercise about a month 324 00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:50,720 ago is going to affect your 325 00:14:58,150 --> 00:14:56,310 marcia i've been working very hard since 326 00:14:59,750 --> 00:14:58,160 that time and we've had we've solved 327 00:15:02,150 --> 00:14:59,760 that problem with the co2 and so i've 328 00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:02,160 been able to exercise very 329 00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:05,040 uh strongly every day i've got carlos 330 00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:06,720 over here who's a marine and i'm going 331 00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:08,959 to have him yell in my ear to get up and 332 00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:10,720 walk so i plan on walking off the 333 00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:13,279 orbiter 334 00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:15,519 this is irene brown with upi also for dr 335 00:15:19,509 --> 00:15:17,839 lenninger um knowing what you know about 336 00:15:21,189 --> 00:15:19,519 life on mir would you repeat the 337 00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:21,199 experience and is there anything that 338 00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:22,880 you would bring with you 339 00:15:29,030 --> 00:15:26,959 if you were going up for a second time 340 00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:29,040 it's been a fantastic experience we've 341 00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:31,120 met all of our goals accomplished all 342 00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:33,920 the tasks it's been a tough time 343 00:15:39,670 --> 00:15:36,639 and when you get through something like 344 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,680 that a major adventure major exploration 345 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:41,680 we still have a critical phase to go to 346 00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:43,920 the re-entry of course but when i get 347 00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:45,680 back on earth 348 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:47,440 any adventure like that when you come 349 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:49,440 close to pushing the envelope and 350 00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:52,639 survive it's a great adventure and in 351 00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:56,000 retrospect i have no regrets whatsoever 352 00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:57,199 something i would have brought is just 353 00:16:00,710 --> 00:15:59,040 more plain old photographs from my 354 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,720 family 355 00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:02,720 and when progress resupply vehicles came 356 00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:04,000 up that was the 357 00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:07,440 best gift i had is pictures of my son 358 00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:09,680 this is james mates from itn of london 359 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,440 michael foale what do you think of the 360 00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:13,360 physical condition of mir now that 361 00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:15,040 you've seen it and do you have any 362 00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:16,560 worries about spending the next four 363 00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,870 the first question is basically uh the 364 00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:24,480 condition of mirrors 365 00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:27,199 is one of uh varied uh newness or 366 00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:29,519 oldness depending on where you are 367 00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:30,800 the place where we are right now the 368 00:16:35,189 --> 00:16:33,040 base block was launched uh 10 13 years 369 00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:35,199 ago and um there are newer elements that 370 00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:37,519 were launched only a year ago 371 00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:38,639 so 372 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:40,399 as you go around the space station you 373 00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:41,920 find some things that are really quite 374 00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:44,079 quite old uh they've had to be replaced 375 00:16:47,829 --> 00:16:46,160 one or two three four times 376 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:47,839 and then there are places where it looks 377 00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:51,040 brand spanking new um as for my worries 378 00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:54,480 i don't really have many um 379 00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,480 right now the uh the thing which we have 380 00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,399 to concentrate on is how the uh the 381 00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:00,320 systems of the mirror will 382 00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:02,160 work and i'm gonna be helping sasha here 383 00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:04,079 on my right and the cv commander on the 384 00:17:07,270 --> 00:17:05,839 left over there 385 00:17:08,710 --> 00:17:07,280 basically with some of the repairs and 386 00:17:09,669 --> 00:17:08,720 some of the basic operations of this 387 00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:09,679 station 388 00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:11,360 but as long as we can keep working hard 389 00:17:14,710 --> 00:17:12,640 with the ground and 390 00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:14,720 we keep the supplies coming we can keep 391 00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:16,959 maintaining these things 392 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:19,199 could you outline the possible problems 393 00:17:23,350 --> 00:17:21,679 that you think might arise and the steps 394 00:17:24,470 --> 00:17:23,360 that you have taken in advance or how 395 00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:24,480 you will cope with them when they do 396 00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:31,510 i think probably the biggest problem 397 00:17:34,230 --> 00:17:33,440 that's being worked continuously now by 398 00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:34,240 um 399 00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:36,720 by the by us from the uh the soup the uh 400 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:38,960 control center in moscow is that of a 401 00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:40,320 cooling system 402 00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:42,080 um there's a number of different uh 403 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:44,480 cooling loops that carry uh cooling 404 00:17:48,710 --> 00:17:46,640 refrigeration fluid around the station 405 00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:48,720 and some of those have leaks and there's 406 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:50,960 one uh outstanding remaining leak just 407 00:17:55,270 --> 00:17:53,200 behind us actually behind the flag here 408 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:55,280 in a compartment called front 409 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:58,080 and uh sasha and vasude especially will 410 00:18:01,909 --> 00:18:00,240 be working on the pipes there to try and 411 00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:01,919 isolate that leak 412 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:04,640 however the systems that depend on that 413 00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:05,360 that 414 00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:07,039 cooling system particularly the system 415 00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:08,640 that scrubs the carbon dioxide from the 416 00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:11,360 air now have other means of um getting 417 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,280 rid of their heat i mean in particular 418 00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:15,440 using directed airflow 419 00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:17,679 so there are always workarounds being 420 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:19,919 found and i have some faith in the 421 00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:22,559 ingenuity of both us here on the station 422 00:18:26,549 --> 00:18:24,080 and the people on the ground to keep 423 00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:26,559 these things going 424 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:29,600 did you discover unsafe dangerous parts 425 00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:32,559 or systems of the mere space station and 426 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:34,480 for how many years do you think the 427 00:18:43,909 --> 00:18:42,310 i think that's the hardest part or the 428 00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:43,919 most difficult part of all this it's 429 00:18:48,310 --> 00:18:46,480 very hard to predict uh the future of 430 00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:48,320 mechanical systems 431 00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:50,080 the main thing to do is maintain them to 432 00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:52,000 the best of your ability replace parts 433 00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:56,390 and we did the best we could over the 434 00:19:00,710 --> 00:18:58,400 last four and a half months to get the 435 00:19:03,029 --> 00:19:00,720 station back into good shape um i 436 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:03,039 anticipate that we will have problems in 437 00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:04,559 the future and then michael b challenge 438 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:06,320 and the my crewmates will be challenged 439 00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:07,840 in the future uh 440 00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:09,679 as far as how long it can last depends 441 00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:11,360 on how much you're willing to keep 442 00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:14,000 repairing and how often you get the 443 00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:15,760 right parts up here 444 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:17,440 and also building in maybe a little 445 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:19,840 redundancy to some of the systems if one 446 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,240 system fails you back it up with other 447 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:24,640 systems and other means to provide what 448 00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:30,710 we'd just like to say to the control 449 00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:33,360 center and to all the folks in phase one 450 00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:35,120 all around the johnson space center at 451 00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:37,679 kennedy space center and all of nasa our 452 00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:40,799 colleagues in russia uh european space 453 00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:43,120 agency and 454 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:44,880 the soup in moscow everyone that has 455 00:19:48,150 --> 00:19:46,640 participated in this a giant team has 456 00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:48,160 put together a very very successful 457 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:49,760 mission it was a privilege for us to be 458 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:52,080 out executing it for you as you planned 459 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:54,240 it you did superbly and we're really 460 00:20:01,510 --> 00:20:00,150 hi charlie this is phil and it's uh

lot of months to put 464 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:06,880 one of these together and get a lot of 465 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:09,600 folks here glad to see the final result 466 00:20:12,630 --> 00:20:11,440 and uh this picture on the screen right 467 00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:12,640 here is really heartwarming for 468 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:14,240 everybody you guys have done a fantastic 469

00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:51,679 and also from phase one the phase one 483 00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:53,120 folks would like to leave their thanks 484 00:20:58,390 --> 00:20:56,720 also with the crew of near 485 00:21:01,350 --> 00:20:58,400 with the phase one sure representing our 486 00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:01,360 program which has been so 487 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:03,120 just successful he's ready to close the 488 00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:05,679 hatch and uh we wished him well had a 489 00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:08,080 great flight and uh just kind of sorry 490 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:09,280 to see them 491 00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:11,840 close the hatch on ourselves here but uh
