okay go ahead Brad you like to confirm
whether or not you have gotten to step
charlie 22
I'm in the four minute wait right now on
step 20 but I've closed off the dow copy
and also Roger while you're waiting if
possible we'd like you to square up the
TVC one it got bumped up just want to
verify that is argon and helium
regulators are still in a good position
before I move on to do the GC
calibration affirmative they still look
good hey submental for Greg a farm med
this is the first test point of the
group and you will select calibrate as
well I stand by one please get it to
something here that
okay I'm ready to go here I'm going to
just repeat that i'm going to do be sure
we got this clear but i claim within the
field of view of the image I'm going to
prevent it from lifting off if it does
we'll reattach it I'll go slowly and try
and find the smoke point at about six
klicks in either direction that's a good
we camp here we go join the fuel line
okay do we go ahead press I think
that'll occur in the middle of the the
videotape of Susan's ifl why don't we go
ahead and start then you'll tell us to
to hold off to pause here at the
appropriate time nope okay we're working
on droplet combustion experiment and one
of the things we have to do on this
experiment is introduced the proper
atmosphere into the test chamber so I've
understood a new bottle and and
installing it into the test chamber here
this we do well several times per day
perhaps and then we get many burns many
droplet burns out of each atmosphere so
that we can test the burning over a
range of conditions here i'm working on
the glovebox experiment this one's
called the CHT which is capillary driven
heat transfer this is an experiment that
comes out of the University of Dayton in
my home state of Ohio and here I'm
taking out a test cell with a
live-action capillary pump loop and what
this is is a closed loop system for
transferring heat and we heat a fluid at
one end of this loop and it transfers
terms of vapor transfers to a cold and
condenses and it's a great way to
transfer heat in space and this is the
kind of technology we need if we're
going to go to Mars because it's
wonderful it has no moving parts to it
and it's got a long life you're
assisting some of the fluid around we
don't have gravity to help get bubbles
out so when above us form we just put a
little centrifugal force on it and move
the bubble that way and here I'm a
marine stalling it in the glove box and
these heat pipes have great application
on the ground its potential for the
future for say getting so the geothermal
heat from the ground and transferring up
to the sidewalks to melt snow for
example in the wintertime or having a
month bridges so that we never have to
worry about ice in the winter time also
this is a procedure called an in-flight
maintenance procedure this is something
that you don't expect to have to do but
if you do the ground will send up a
procedure and in this particular case I
am removing one of the dip lockers from
the mid deck and I'm going to go back to
find the wall and inspect a boat but we
think may have been damaged
then we're not sure and we want to check
it out so we can have the right
configuration on entry so now we have to
work in some tight places here you can
see two bolts side-by-side one from the
locker I just removed and one from the
locker with the problem but he said I'll
get it all in focus and point to the one
that has should have the problem the
lose one is the locker that's out they
not lose what is the locker that's in
and it has been I did loosen the bolt a
couple of turns focus in on the front
part of the vault so you can get a
better look at that there's the front
end of the ball it is very secure in
going man I think all this here are
confident that that boat will work just
fine for entry and hold the locker in
place or after PG bof that's where we
decide to place that experiment okay
well that's today's screw choice down
link once again we'd like to say thanks
to Mission Control we know I said it was
halfway through for the flight crew it's
also halfway through permission control
and haven't been a cat comer understand
how hard y'all have to work for four
long unending hours to make a look this
easy to us so we certainly appreciate
your work we will do it again tomorrow
thanks a lot and Janice I you would try
to give them a call hey your microphone
on PlayStation where would they right
now is I'm enjoying the first cup of tea
I've had in about two months because we
just don't pack the protocol know all of
it but just type of it and we just
screwing baggage and PDA pieces and food
and water all over the place here so
we're professionals right here you got
something well I guess we shall we have
go fresh food when we open up the hatch
that is wonderful fresh air we added
smell like apples but as we've been on
the freakiest babies in a very potter
driver have suffered our boy here Mike
they've added some of the Russian food
for the meal total to the menu and I've
got some corn here it's got interested
koo koo roo sir gosh I've ID'd my cat
new test and it even has it when they
translated a translated 100 milliliters
so we have two submersed here to get it
to work on a galley over well you can
tell they're moving into an
international law because my TV screen
is the pure American brand and then he
comes in ounces and of course we only
use my leaders here silver how many
macias to make the sea with my kid you
get a chance to see help off we've been
looking for them and that you pursue
family have been able to find it as
you've seen in the last couple of days
o- no we have no stealing for a while
back to the city said it was really
great about my months ago I just took
time was running and I've been looking
at the galaxy as the appearance of
essentially guys see where the the big
dust clouds are and super sister for it
and I must say it's a pretty wonderful
thing to look at the galaxy's most
favored I hope you guys are having time
to look out the window their latest Jill
are selling again I had to talk to you a
little bit yes couple of days ago when
we had a massage the contact you have
got some amateur astronomers no more
they're pointing out the Venus said
mercury along with the crescent moon
going down right at sunset and then we
also see Jupiter and I think we're gonna
see all we have that an officer so uh
we're gonna see all that stuff yeah I'm
turning into a star guy myself hi um I'm
hoping to find a start I in this
progress but we go to store has been
enjoying the letters and very special
things with my friends at back homers
and a bunch of other people at work and
I'm afraid now it's too much for
anything gym and poor is it north
through view you know
seen a picture from ours yet nervous on
this spacecraft to see the picture from
ours and i'll show you how hey Mike
that's my girl out here are you doing
buddy oh my vision is fine as I say
we've been unpacking the progress of
ever seeing these pictures from the
animation on Mars oh damn like Mission
Control set an excellent job or keep it
as posted they set us up within probably
half an hour of the landing the still
photos black-and-white photos and then
later that day they sent us out big
video file in color and it showed that
the lander with airbags and the rover
and it's really awesome to look at the
landscape it looks a lot like what you
think it would from the old a Viking
photos and thus I just came by and all
that some special as it can and i think
i was back to say how are you all hello
columbia with a former our crew rig real
space so they attack oh let me eat you
or whatever it is over there and it's
good evening
Mike to you and I both your comrades we
want to we want to wish you the very
best I mean now we've been following
your progress and thoughts have been
with you have you because you've dealt
with the bulbs that you had the doubt
you've done just an outstanding job so
we would appreciate it you would pass on
to your crewmates just to tell
magnificent we think they're doing up
there and and and we all look forward to
your return and they'll return later on
here those bill we certainly enjoyed the
opportunity to talk to Mike and police
receives a good spirits thanks for set
that up I it was a pleasure and we sure
appreciate you folks wetness listen
along wiki
