1 00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:15,469 we copy Roger of I 50 is telling me that 2 00:01:19,459 --> 00:01:17,340 they are complete with this fo but they 3 00:01:21,499 --> 00:01:19,469 would appreciate if you did not power 4 00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:21,509 down and just leave this going until you 5 00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:23,359 come back in the afternoon except for 6 00:01:28,099 --> 00:01:25,829 turning off the laser in the back light 7 00:01:30,499 --> 00:01:28,109 because they're both run by battery your 8 00:01:34,099 --> 00:01:30,509 DCE activity for this afternoon at three 9 00:01:36,649 --> 00:01:34,109 hours 52 minutes has been canceled you 10 00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:36,659 need to go to your tpr however you will 11 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:39,240 have some cm1 power up procedures to do 12 00:01:48,919 --> 00:01:47,250 later on at approximately five hours 11 13 00:02:05,250 --> 00:01:48,929 does that mean I don't have anything to 14 00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:08,820 is that what touch you responded to that 15 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:11,750 it is affirmative that you have about an 16 00:02:21,370 --> 00:02:19,210 okay talk about 15 min to that but then 17 00:02:22,990 --> 00:02:21,380 I'd like to come back here go ahead and 18 00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:23,000 start with some as a high of 50 19 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:24,590 activities for this afternoon if that's 20 00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:29,650 okay that's okay with us just sort of 21 00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:32,060 this sort of practice with it and stuff 22 00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:35,660 like that it I'll just give you a call 23 00:02:54,610 --> 00:02:39,200 when i come back in here okay sounds 24 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:54,620 great I me Houston Janice I'm Houston 25 00:03:05,380 --> 00:02:56,450 Janice just a heads up your socks 26 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:05,390 contacts in about eight minutes yes 27 00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:07,010 Janice we were just conferring on the 28 00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:09,590 big picture of the DCE activities have 29 00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:11,780 been deleted for this shift this is due 30 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:13,430 to the limited amount of fuel they have 31 00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:15,410 available and they their science team 32 00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:17,030 would like to rethink their test points 33 00:03:20,979 --> 00:03:19,100 to be performed and ensure that they get 34 00:03:23,380 --> 00:03:20,989 maximum science return through the end 35 00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:23,390 of the mission and so they have pulled 36 00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:25,430 out all their activities in a timeline 37 00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:27,830 today we are trying to reschedule some 38 00:03:32,140 --> 00:03:30,620 cm-1 on you after your meal which is 39 00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:32,150 different than what we told you in daily 40 00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:43,519 status good evening hour mark we're 41 00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:46,160 right in the handover between the red 42 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:48,560 chef who's just waking up in the blue 43 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:49,970 chef who's getting ready to wind down 44 00:03:54,970 --> 00:03:52,130 Janice just finished your exercise for 45 00:03:56,380 --> 00:03:54,980 the day and Rogers still back in the lab 46 00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:56,390 doing some experiments but hopefully 47 00:04:00,759 --> 00:03:59,330 you'll be up here shortly and I guess 48 00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:00,769 we're approaching the halfway point in 49 00:04:05,170 --> 00:04:02,750 the mission and it really feels to us on 50 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:05,180 board like we're falling into a steady 51 00:04:09,490 --> 00:04:07,850 routine but the minute you say the wood 52 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:09,500 routine you have to step back and 53 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:11,360 glanced out the window and when you do 54 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:13,130 that and see the beautiful oras whizzing 55 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:15,890 by it reminds you that this is anything 56 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:17,010 but routine 57 00:04:22,010 --> 00:04:19,770 reminds me of Willie are and while we're 58 00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:22,020 here to makes us appreciate all the 59 00:04:26,630 --> 00:04:24,180 great work that the folks at miss 60 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:26,640 control and the Marshall have done and 61 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,290 for this mission together and support 62 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:30,720 this through it's in the mexis realized 63 00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:33,090 that a special mission is anything but 64 00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,670 routine and all aspects from the 65 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,440 groundbreaking science we're doing to 66 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:40,080 just what it takes to keep people flying 67 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:42,570 safely in space so today we're going to 68 00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:45,120 give you this kind of a rundown of a 69 00:04:49,910 --> 00:04:47,550 half way through the mission type day in 70 00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:49,920 space and it turns out it was Janice's 71 00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:52,860 half day off so she got to do all kinds 72 00:04:56,180 --> 00:04:54,180 of these days and we'll show you what 73 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:56,190 astronaut to do on their days off or at 74 00:05:01,040 --> 00:04:57,690 least what Janice did on street chaos 75 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:01,050 and then I'm doing a little experiment 76 00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,480 in the back called the LIF sure so I'll 77 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:05,520 show you that it is me doing the LIF 78 00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:07,770 scherstuhl experiment and big picture on 79 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:09,960 this is the materials processing 80 00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:12,210 experiment ended measuring the diffusion 81 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:15,030 coefficient of various atoms through 82 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:17,010 different materials in space what you 83 00:05:20,990 --> 00:05:18,720 see me they're doing is rotating this 84 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:21,000 your cell and what that does basically 85 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:23,010 they won this darn thing up and then 86 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:26,130 Adams diffuse through the materials and 87 00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:28,530 then at the end of the run we actually 88 00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:30,840 crank it which breaks it into small 89 00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:33,240 pieces and then on the ground they can 90 00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:35,160 measure how far the atoms to she is is 91 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:37,080 from that really determine the diffusion 92 00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:40,770 bob far the atoms were able to migrate 93 00:05:46,490 --> 00:05:43,320 in on earth because Adams ways different 94 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:46,500 amounts you can't ever totally measure 95 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:49,050 that property knowing that property will 96 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:51,330 help us design better material process 97 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:53,120 for everything from computers to 98 00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:57,450 materials in here's Roger and this is a 99 00:06:03,470 --> 00:06:00,720 yield an experiment we're doing of how 100 00:06:07,010 --> 00:06:03,480 the internal flow of include an amex of 101 00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:07,020 droplets and at above the mantel 102 00:06:12,260 --> 00:06:09,030 pedestal there you can see a small 103 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:12,270 Gotham mission and water levitate we're 104 00:06:16,190 --> 00:06:13,280 doing materials with different 105 00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:16,200 viscosities or different consistencies 106 00:06:20,030 --> 00:06:17,670 because they have different problems 107 00:06:24,410 --> 00:06:20,040 limitations applications for this would 108 00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:24,420 be to the shapes of planets that are 109 00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:27,840 gaseous like Saturn and Jupiter and for 110 00:06:35,290 --> 00:06:30,390 the formation of stars 111 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:35,300 discern and other kinds of Astrophysical 112 00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:39,330 bodies as well as any kind of bridge and 113 00:06:45,470 --> 00:06:44,160 garbage here on the ground this is 114 00:06:49,010 --> 00:06:45,480 something else I like to do on my day 115 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:49,020 off I first got interested in flying in 116 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:50,370 space from reading science fiction you 117 00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:51,930 can't leak where we go we call it time 118 00:06:54,770 --> 00:06:53,310 is name of that book that's the first 119 00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:54,780 science fiction book I ever read by 120 00:06:57,860 --> 00:06:56,550 Madeleine L'Engle when I was in sixth 121 00:06:59,960 --> 00:06:57,870 grade I got me it's been the space 122 00:07:01,700 --> 00:06:59,970 program I reading science fiction I like 123 00:07:03,740 --> 00:07:01,710 to bring science fiction up with me and 124 00:07:05,090 --> 00:07:03,750 read it by Earth's light which is summer 125 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:05,100 I reflected off the earth you can 126 00:07:08,450 --> 00:07:07,050 detergent on this top and it is bright 127 00:07:10,940 --> 00:07:08,460 enough to read that I this is like 128 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,950 meeting in a room at home is having that 129 00:07:14,990 --> 00:07:12,240 connection having read science fiction 130 00:07:16,430 --> 00:07:15,000 to get me started on this path close by 131 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:16,440 reading science fiction space is really 132 00:07:20,450 --> 00:07:18,570 special well good morning with Jenna 133 00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:20,460 commander Susan still in commander Jim 134 00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:22,710 Howell is peggy O'Leary with channel 12 135 00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:25,230 in Augusta how are you this morning or 136 00:07:35,210 --> 00:07:33,390 evening in your cave up there friday we 137 00:07:37,310 --> 00:07:35,220 celebrated the birth of a nation but 138 00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:37,320 also this weekend we celebrated the 139 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:39,150 rebirth of the excitement of space 140 00:07:43,010 --> 00:07:41,370 exploration Susan if you're so proud 141 00:07:44,780 --> 00:07:43,020 that someone from Augusta can be a part 142 00:07:55,540 --> 00:07:44,790 of that tell us a little bit about your 143 00:07:58,340 --> 00:07:55,550 mission here for 16 days studying the 144 00:08:02,510 --> 00:07:58,350 effects of microgravity on combustion 145 00:08:05,290 --> 00:08:02,520 and material science the purpose is to 146 00:08:08,690 --> 00:08:05,300 fall but the main purpose is to let 147 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:08,700 somehow make life on Earth perhaps for 148 00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:11,280 efficient fuel burning less bullets in 149 00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:14,460 the air center medals for aircraft 150 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:17,910 engines and that sort of thing Jesus is 151 00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:20,130 a very important mission when it came 152 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:21,750 down early in April of course we were 153 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:23,970 all disappointed but were you surprised 154 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:25,650 at the quick turnaround for your crew 155 00:08:34,490 --> 00:08:32,130 the payload in Columbia an awesome job 156 00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:34,500 getting this or that are ready to fly 157 00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:36,720 again so quickly this is the quickest 158 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:39,390 turnaround ever for space shuttle and 159 00:08:43,409 --> 00:08:40,510 the crew 160 00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:43,419 ready to go we were well trained for sts 161 00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:46,270 83 and so we just needed to maintain our 162 00:08:51,570 --> 00:08:50,140 proficiency Leland SPF 90 park to talk 163 00:08:57,420 --> 00:08:51,580 with your family at all since you've 164 00:09:00,480 --> 00:08:57,430 been in Spain touch with our nation have 165 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:00,490 you do today on the radio and I talked 166 00:09:05,580 --> 00:09:03,370 with my boyfriend on air-to-ground what 167 00:09:09,870 --> 00:09:05,590 time and I have to speak with my dad and 168 00:09:11,310 --> 00:09:09,880 a couple of days well you know Susan you 169 00:09:12,990 --> 00:09:11,320 don't have to wait a couple of days to 170 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:13,000 speak to your father he's here with us 171 00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:15,850 now live in the studios dr. Joseph still 172 00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:17,560 do you have any questions for your 173 00:09:23,070 --> 00:09:20,590 daughter Susan I have any questions I 174 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,080 just like to tell a hello from a mother 175 00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:25,360 and myself I'm glad to see that she's 176 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:33,220 doing well what laughs and his name is 177 00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:37,690 Astro what have you done today what are 178 00:09:56,330 --> 00:09:50,500 they been like what we call the WCS we 179 00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:56,340 just kind of the bathroom it up swing 180 00:10:03,330 --> 00:10:00,880 dance on our radio system to get it 181 00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:03,340 working a little bit better and we'll go 182 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:10,120 out on the computers project called wdi 183 00:10:15,090 --> 00:10:13,110 rot which is a wireless data acquisition 184 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:15,100 system and it's something that we're 185 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:17,050 going to be using while we assemble 186 00:10:21,930 --> 00:10:19,810 space station what has is there some 187 00:10:24,570 --> 00:10:21,940 temperature probes out at the payload oh 188 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:24,580 and we listed somewhere we can monitor 189 00:10:29,070 --> 00:10:26,410 the temperatures out there this will be 190 00:10:31,530 --> 00:10:29,080 very important during Space Station 191 00:10:35,220 --> 00:10:31,540 because it's so cold up in space where 192 00:10:37,050 --> 00:10:35,230 the sun's not shining on you you ain't 193 00:10:43,260 --> 00:10:37,060 of Athens a woman's work is never done 194 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:43,270 even in faith fascinator dress that 195 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:46,210 woman's work part it's because I'm a 196 00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:48,490 pirate that I do all this job I just 197 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:50,320 wanted to make sure that was clear not 198 00:10:59,579 --> 00:10:53,529 because I'm a woman the Pirates job is 199 00:11:01,470 --> 00:10:59,589 cleanliness that's a slap for I should I 200 00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:01,480 could never what this device does force 201 00:11:05,369 --> 00:11:03,339 is very valuable allows us to practice 202 00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:05,379 the landing task all throughout this 203 00:11:10,259 --> 00:11:08,470 extended duration mission so that 60 204 00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:10,269 days after launch and maybe 80 days 205 00:11:14,309 --> 00:11:12,220 after last opportunity to practice of 206 00:11:16,769 --> 00:11:14,319 the shuttle training aircraft we're not 207 00:11:18,989 --> 00:11:16,779 trying to land for the first time every 208 00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:18,999 day yes is a buyer but she and I make a 209 00:11:22,379 --> 00:11:20,889 run or two on there on the pilot 210 00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:22,389 simulator Christie to see from the 211 00:11:26,999 --> 00:11:25,300 screen here that it's for desktop kind 212 00:11:29,579 --> 00:11:27,009 of simulators acting pretty high 213 00:11:31,499 --> 00:11:29,589 fidelity control response is certainly 214 00:11:33,299 --> 00:11:31,509 not exactly the same as a shuttle or as 215 00:11:36,179 --> 00:11:33,309 a shuttle training aircraft so you can't 216 00:11:37,710 --> 00:11:36,189 really hang your hat on its flying 217 00:11:39,749 --> 00:11:37,720 qualities but it does get your brain 218 00:11:41,129 --> 00:11:39,759 working again as to what you ought to be 219 00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:41,139 looking at and when you need to be 220 00:11:46,019 --> 00:11:44,230 looking at certain parameters we r you 221 00:11:48,090 --> 00:11:46,029 know lining up the balm are working on 222 00:11:50,309 --> 00:11:48,100 the airspeed working on the side picture 223 00:11:51,749 --> 00:11:50,319 just the mechanics of planning to show 224 00:11:54,210 --> 00:11:51,759 and I think this is a valuable tool 225 00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:54,220 you'll see a Susan's blabbing here just 226 00:11:58,290 --> 00:11:56,529 a door BRB a touchdown partners which is 227 00:12:02,100 --> 00:11:58,300 where we try to touch the shuttle down 228 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:02,110 down days so I can supply runs together 229 00:12:06,090 --> 00:12:03,970 as a crew here's died in here I'm just 230 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:06,100 going to show you is just the path from 231 00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:07,809 the fight back over to the lab here's 232 00:12:11,429 --> 00:12:09,279 the mid-deck he goes to the airlock 233 00:12:13,470 --> 00:12:11,439 hatch and there you'll see there's a 234 00:12:17,699 --> 00:12:13,480 high to be 180 pass Susan coming the 235 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:17,709 other way 700 there has a lot of our 236 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:21,250 laundry in it both clean and dirty and 237 00:12:25,049 --> 00:12:23,050 that's a good storage place for a number 238 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:25,059 of different items two rebounds up into 239 00:12:29,129 --> 00:12:27,490 the lab you can see the the blueshift RT 240 00:12:34,199 --> 00:12:29,139 at work there Jenna from the left and 241 00:12:35,939 --> 00:12:34,209 Roger at the far end people told me that 242 00:12:38,429 --> 00:12:35,949 fresh food was really nice to happen 243 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:38,439 that it ran out after a few days so I 244 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:40,240 did that growing sprouts on the ground 245 00:12:43,049 --> 00:12:41,649 was pretty easy to do and I thought that 246 00:12:45,210 --> 00:12:43,059 the growing amount orbit might be 247 00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:45,220 possible people in the Food Lab really 248 00:12:49,499 --> 00:12:46,660 helped out alot we got some alfalfa 249 00:12:51,059 --> 00:12:49,509 seeds into a food bag and devised a 250 00:12:53,249 --> 00:12:51,069 system for adding water to it without 251 00:12:55,769 --> 00:12:53,259 letting the sprouts out and then all we 252 00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:55,779 needed was a way to get the water out 253 00:12:58,980 --> 00:12:57,519 without gravity so and that connecting 254 00:13:00,780 --> 00:12:58,990 bags together and creating a little bit 255 00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:00,790 of significant force we could squeeze 256 00:13:04,860 --> 00:13:02,769 the water out of the bags so the spots 257 00:13:06,090 --> 00:13:04,870 are growing along and a little bit of 258 00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:06,100 luck we'll be able a time soon 259 00:13:14,699 --> 00:13:11,800 oh I end up here with a couple of Bob 260 00:13:16,439 --> 00:13:14,709 chats this is the the border between the 261 00:13:20,309 --> 00:13:16,449 United States between Texas and Mexico 262 00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:20,319 at Brownsville area right below us a 263 00:13:25,769 --> 00:13:22,720 brownsville texas area and the border 264 00:13:27,930 --> 00:13:25,779 with mexico and this is what everybody 265 00:13:30,420 --> 00:13:27,940 has commented several times is probably 266 00:13:31,949 --> 00:13:30,430 the most beautiful island sat that we 267 00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:31,959 get anywhere around our read these of 268 00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:35,110 the Bahamas Florida South to strip down 269 00:13:40,769 --> 00:13:37,600 to the screen and Florida's off to the 270 00:13:42,629 --> 00:13:40,779 right and just the beautifully blue 271 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:42,639 colors and we get it was fine with the
