is for 18 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:12,160 harrow alumnus mission specialist nick 19 00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,790 this is mission control houston with a 20 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:18,400 view on the outside of the international 21 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:19,760 space station looking at the new 22 00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:22,560 tranquility node and the cupola which is 23 00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:24,160 currently still attached to the end of 24 00:02:29,589 --> 00:02:26,400 tranquility but will be relocated during 25 00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:29,599 the cruise day today 26 00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:30,640 that 27 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,040 work will start with the 28 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:34,080 depressurization of the cupola by 29 00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:36,239 endeavors astronauts terry burts and kay 30 00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,360 hire 31 00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:39,840 and then higher inverts will begin 32 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,000 operating canadarm2 the station's 33 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:44,640 robotic arm you see poised and standing 34 00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:46,239 by there 35 00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:49,120 they will use that to latch onto cupola 36 00:02:54,710 --> 00:02:51,920 and then eventually relocate it 37 00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,720 view inside tranquility watching 38 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,400 terry burts and kay hire work through 39 00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,640 the procedure to depressurize cupola 40 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:00,400 which is on the other side of the hatch 41 00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:04,949 this is a view inside the station's 42 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:08,000 destiny laboratory astronaut k heyer is 43 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,400 positioned at the robotics workstation 44 00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:12,640 which she and astronaut terry burts use 45 00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:14,879 to operate canadarm2 46 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:16,959 there's a time 47 00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:20,720 to get set up for that operation of 48 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:23,280 the arm to relocate cupola 49 00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:27,599 while the depressurization is in work 50 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,280 this is now a live view inside the 51 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,280 station's quest airlock where the 52 00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:33,519 spacewalkers for this mission bob bankin 53 00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:35,280 and nicholas patrick are working on 54 00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:37,599 configuring tools for the mission's 55 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:39,440 third spacewalk 56 00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:41,920 there are two days in between the second 57 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:44,560 and third spacewalk now so the third 58 00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:45,760 excursion 59 00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:52,470 we see benkin and patrick inside the 60 00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,120 airlock getting their tools set up for 61 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:56,959 the mission's third spacewalk 62 00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:59,760 they're doing most of this work today as 63 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:01,280 the next 64 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:04,560 day's work for them will focus on using 65 00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,319 the space station robotic arm to 66 00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:08,319 relocate the pressurized mating adapter 67 00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:09,439 number three 68 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:10,879 they are the crew members that will be 69 00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,749 this is a camera a video camera that was 70 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:19,359 set up by station commander jeff 71 00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:22,320 williams in a small window in the hatch 72 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:24,479 of the tranquility node 73 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:27,600 on the port that is facing earth that 74 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:28,479 is the 75 00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:30,880 port that the cupola will be relocated 76 00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:31,919 to today 77 00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:34,240 for jeff and cbcs we have a good camera 78 00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:36,400 view 79 00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:39,199 the depressurization of the cupola has 80 00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,600 taken a little longer than expected but 81 00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,919 and there is some residual air left 82 00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:45,840 inside that will be vented overboard 83 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:47,440 later in the procedure 84 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:49,199 but the environmental control and life 85 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:50,880 support system officer 86 00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:52,800 here in the international space station 87 00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,160 flight control room 88 00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,320 was comfortable and wanted to continue 89 00:04:59,909 --> 00:04:58,000 on with the procedure to perform the 90 00:05:02,469 --> 00:04:59,919 lake check to ensure that there is a 91 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:02,479 tight seal there between the cupola and 92 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,360 tranquility so that is the next part of 93 00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:06,880 the procedure that verts will be going 94 00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:10,800 through closing and not anything else 95 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:13,280 eastern station for robotics we're 96 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:26,710 houston copies on the big loop 97 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,390 this is mission control houston the 98 00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:30,639 station's robotic arm canadarm2 is now 99 00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:32,080 being maneuvered to latch onto the 100 00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,070 this is mission control houston the 101 00:06:01,430 --> 00:05:58,720 space station robotic arm is paused in 102 00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:01,440 this procedure to latch on to the cupola 103 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:02,479 module 104 00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:04,800 it is being operated by astronauts terry 105 00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:06,960 burts and kay heyer 106 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,720 inside the space station 107 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:10,720 commander jeff williams is completing 108 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:13,199 the final closeout steps in the 109 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:15,520 procedure that depressurized the cupola 110 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:22,790 in houston the cupola d-press is 111 00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,840 complete 112 00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:25,680 the valve of course is closed and it 113 00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:28,479 caps and uh the vag is left completely 114 00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:31,199 intact connected up to the 115 00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:54,629 roger 116 00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,510 endeavor iss this is houston acr please 117 00:07:01,990 --> 00:06:59,440 stand by for the nasa explorer school 118 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,000 questions 119 00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:04,080 hi my name is aaron lee from stuart 120 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:06,400 middle magnet in tampa florida 121 00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,400 our teachers took us on a campout near 122 00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:10,400 the kennedy space center so we could get 123 00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:13,440 up at 4am to see your shuttle launch and 124 00:07:18,950 --> 00:07:16,160 it was awesome but my question is why 125 00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:18,960 did you have to launch so early 126 00:07:23,029 --> 00:07:20,880 well first of all we'd like to apologize 127 00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,039 for making everyone get up so early we 128 00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:25,440 were up pretty early ourselves 129 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:28,880 the time of a launch is determined by 130 00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:30,639 the orbit of the international space 131 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:32,479 station we need to be able to launch 132 00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:34,560 from florida and to catch up to the 133 00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:35,759 international space station to 134 00:07:39,909 --> 00:07:37,680 rendezvous and dock and we want to do 135 00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:39,919 that with the minimal amount of fuel 136 00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,599 that we expend because remember 137 00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:43,599 everything that we lift 138 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:47,360 off of the pad it cost us basically our 139 00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,520 our amount that we can take to orbit so 140 00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:51,280 we don't want to have to take any extra 141 00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:54,240 fuel that we don't really need to orbit 142 00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:57,440 so we have to stay to these very tight 143 00:08:00,869 --> 00:07:59,039 little short 144 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,879 launch windows to be able to catch up to 145 00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,800 the international space station so again 146 00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:04,560 sorry for the time but hope you enjoyed 147 00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,479 the light show 148 00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:08,879 hi i'm daniel lorenzo from stuart middle 149 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:11,120 magnet school in tampa florida and my 150 00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:13,280 question to you is how long do you guys 151 00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:15,039 have to train before going into outer 152 00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,720 space 153 00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:18,400 that's a great question 154 00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:20,240 you could generally answer that question 155 00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:22,720 all your life because every experience 156 00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:24,879 that we have every bit of 157 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:26,879 knowledge that we have sure comes into 158 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:30,080 play when we're here in space because 159 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:31,440 you never know what's going to happen 160 00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:34,479 next but generally for a space shuttle 161 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,880 mission we train for a minimum of a year 162 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,560 specifically for the tasks that we're 163 00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:40,479 going to do on board that mission 164 00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:42,800 prior to that though we all train 165 00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:45,279 generically as astronauts for 166 00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:47,920 one to two to multiple years before we 167 00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:50,560 get assigned to a flight so for a space 168 00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,240 shuttle mission the training is a 169 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:54,640 minimum of a couple of years 170 00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:57,040 overall for a space station mission 171 00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:58,480 where the crew members are staying for 172 00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,080 longer duration 173 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:02,560 they can train many years because they 174 00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:05,040 train not only in the united states but 175 00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:08,080 also with our international partners so 176 00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:10,160 it's multiple years of training but of 177 00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:12,480 course prior to that lots of years of 178 00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:15,279 schooling and experience that all comes 179 00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,399 into play 180 00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:18,399 my name is summer heckman and i go to 181 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,640 vernon school in portland oregon and my 182 00:09:25,829 --> 00:09:22,959 question is do you have 183 00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:25,839 issues with keeping things clean 184 00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:27,920 on the space station and if so is it 185 00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:30,720 possible for mold to grow in space or on 186 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:33,120 the space station 187 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:35,440 that is a really really good question 188 00:09:38,949 --> 00:09:37,279 because it is a big issue 189 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:38,959 the space station and the space shuttle 190 00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:41,279 both have very good air circulation 191 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:43,519 systems with fans and filters to keep 192 00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:44,640 stuff 193 00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:45,519 clean 194 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:48,320 but everything floats there's no gravity 195 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,800 so on earth it's really nice you can see 196 00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:52,959 there things float 197 00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,880 if if you have dust or lint or just 198 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,640 anything like that it tends to stick or 199 00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:57,920 it tends to fall to the ground and you 200 00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:00,080 can sweep it up in space it doesn't it 201 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,760 floats around and you see little specks 202 00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:03,920 of things floating by occasionally and 203 00:10:07,910 --> 00:10:05,760 when you drink 204 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:07,920 in your water straw unless you get all 205 00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:10,240 of the water out of your straw 206 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:11,839 when you when it comes out of your mouth 207 00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:13,680 it'll it might flick a couple little 208 00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:15,839 specks of water and over time those can 209 00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,240 grow mold so we spend a lot of time on 210 00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:20,320 the shuttle keeping things clean and the 211 00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:22,079 space station crew 212 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,320 spends a lot of time probably once once 213 00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:26,480 a week just keeping things clean because 214 00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:29,519 we have seen mold grow in the past and 215 00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:30,800 in fact right around the corner down 216 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:32,000 there you can see there's some plants 217 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:34,240 growing so things can grow in space 218 00:10:37,829 --> 00:10:35,680 and that's why it's really important for 219 00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:37,839 us to keep it clean 220 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:39,920 hi my name is maya and i would like to 221 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:42,640 know how long does it 222 00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:44,800 how long does it take to prepare the 223 00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:48,480 space shuttle before it launches 224 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,000 well as you know the space shuttle is a 225 00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:52,800 very complicated spacecraft so it does 226 00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:54,480 take a while and it takes a lot of 227 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:56,959 people cred quite a great team of people 228 00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:57,760 that 229 00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:00,000 prepare the space shuttle for launch and 230 00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:01,839 you know space shuttle is made up of 231 00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,360 several components there's a space 232 00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,360 shuttle orbiter there are the solid 233 00:11:09,509 --> 00:11:07,839 rocket boosters those are the two white 234 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:09,519 rockets that strapped to the sides and 235 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:11,680 then there's a big orange external tank 236 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:14,880 that holds our fuel so to get all of 237 00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:16,800 those components together it takes quite 238 00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:19,120 a bit of time the absolute minimum 239 00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:21,360 amount of time from the time that a 240 00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:23,680 space shuttle orbiter lands until the 241 00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:26,240 time that it can launch again is about 242 00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:28,240 two months but that's very very 243 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,240 aggressive schedule it takes longer 244 00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,920 actually to prepare the tank and the 245 00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:33,519 solid rocket boosters those would have 246 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,560 to be waiting for it so after landing 247 00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:38,880 the team in florida processes the 248 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:41,440 orbiter in a horizontal position like 249 00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:43,920 working on an aircraft in a hangar and 250 00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:46,160 then they rotate it into the vertical 251 00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:48,880 position and attach it to that 252 00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:51,279 that solid rocket boosters and the 253 00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:53,760 external tank and take all of that 254 00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:56,079 together out to the launch pad and get 255 00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:58,720 it ready to launch again so it actually 256 00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:01,360 takes quite a bit of time but 257 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:03,680 it can vary depending on what our 258 00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:05,040 schedule is 259 00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:07,120 hi i'm hannah from stuart ben magnet 260 00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:09,200 school in tampa florida i have a 261 00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:11,360 question what was the most difficult 262 00:12:15,670 --> 00:12:13,120 obstacle that you had to overcome to 263 00:12:17,590 --> 00:12:15,680 become an astronaut thanks 264 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:17,600 well i don't know that i'd really call 265 00:12:22,870 --> 00:12:20,880 it obstacles but it is very important to 266 00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:22,880 have a good strong 267 00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:25,120 math and science background to be even 268 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:27,360 considered to be an astronaut but also 269 00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:30,160 just overall technical experience and it 270 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:32,000 really helps to have some flying 271 00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:33,760 experience as well 272 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:35,920 so i don't know that again that i would 273 00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,160 really call it an obstacle but there are 274 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:40,560 so many very qualified 275 00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:43,760 folks very very smart very educated and 276 00:12:50,790 --> 00:12:47,440 with a lot of experience that nasa has a 277 00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:50,800 tough time selecting the astronauts from 278 00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:54,240 so many qualified candidates so 279 00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:56,399 maybe i just feel that 280 00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:59,279 i was very fortunate to be considered 281 00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:00,240 for 282 00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:03,200 selection as an astronaut 283 00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:06,959 and also that i was selected so 284 00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:08,959 i would suggest that you just keep 285 00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,079 studying hard and uh find the things 286 00:13:17,110 --> 00:13:14,560 that you love to do and 287 00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:17,120 gain your own expertise there 288 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:19,120 and apply to be an astronaut and hope 289 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:21,200 days hopefully someday you'll be able to 290 00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:23,519 fly in space as well as you saw two 291 00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:30,470 hi my name is taylor church and i go to 292 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,079 edward harris junior middle school in 293 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:34,399 elk grove california have you ever 294 00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:37,120 personally tried growing plants in space 295 00:13:41,189 --> 00:13:39,199 if so how did the experiment turn out 296 00:13:42,629 --> 00:13:41,199 and if not have you ever been on board a 297 00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:42,639 mission where a plant experiment has 298 00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:45,440 taken place thank you 299 00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:47,920 yeah that that is a great question 300 00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:50,160 actually in the next module down for me 301 00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:52,560 we're in node two so in the lab the u.s 302 00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:54,560 lab there are several big bags where 303 00:13:58,230 --> 00:13:56,079 plants are growing right now it's one of 304 00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:58,240 their experiments and in fact the space 305 00:14:02,310 --> 00:14:00,079 station is a very 306 00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:02,320 big laboratory there's a japanese lab a 307 00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:04,800 u.s lab and a european lab and plus the 308 00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,560 russians have their own experiments 309 00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:08,480 going in their segments so there's a lot 310 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,399 of different experiments happening here 311 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:12,240 on our space shuttle our main job is to 312 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:14,399 bring up node 3 and tranquility but we 313 00:14:20,470 --> 00:14:17,360 have some experiments also we have uh 314 00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:20,480 some some basically vaccination testing 315 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:22,000 and there are some viruses down there 316 00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:23,760 that we're doing uh some testing and 317 00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,040 experiments on but there's lots of 318 00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:27,279 experiments going on here and as you can 319 00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:29,440 see this is a uh we're in like the 320 00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:31,040 central hub here so there's a lot of 321 00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:32,480 traffic going on 322 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:35,199 and uh so pardon our crewmates as they 323 00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:38,240 translate by with important hardware 324 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:40,720 hi my name is pabina ramwell and i go to 325 00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:42,800 sport middle magnet and i live in tampa 326 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:45,680 florida my question is why will nasa 327 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:48,000 scrub a launch if the sky is cloudy or 328 00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:52,230 again a very appropriate 329 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:54,000 question for us because our first launch 330 00:14:58,150 --> 00:14:56,240 attempt was scrubbed because of clouds 331 00:14:59,509 --> 00:14:58,160 and there's a couple of problems with 332 00:15:01,509 --> 00:14:59,519 clouds and rain 333 00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:01,519 first of all is our rocket itself you 334 00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:02,880 don't want to damage the space shuttle 335 00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:04,639 so if you fly through 336 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:06,639 certain types of clouds with lightning 337 00:15:10,230 --> 00:15:08,720 or rain you can get a lightning strike 338 00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:10,240 which actually happened on one of our 339 00:15:14,949 --> 00:15:13,519 apollo missions and or if you fly 340 00:15:17,269 --> 00:15:14,959 through rain the rain could damage the 341 00:15:19,110 --> 00:15:17,279 vehicle because we accelerate really 342 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:19,120 fast we're going about 100 miles an hour 343 00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:21,440 by the time we clear the launch tower 344 00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:23,199 and uh in less than a minute we're going 345 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,680 supersonic straight up so the sh the 346 00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:27,839 rocket goes very fast through the air 347 00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:29,920 and so that could be dangerous the other 348 00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:31,600 thing is we want ground cameras to be 349 00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:33,519 able to see the shuttle 350 00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:35,120 or whatever rocket it is when we're 351 00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:37,440 launching unmanned rockets it's the same 352 00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:38,959 thing they need they need some 353 00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:40,560 visibility to be able to see it to make 354 00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:41,920 sure that the trajectory is going in the 355 00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,560 right direction hi my name is sabrina 356 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:46,959 and i want to know what kind of tools 357 00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:51,040 you use to fix the space shuttle 358 00:15:56,069 --> 00:15:52,880 well hello sabrina thank you for that 359 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:56,079 question that is a really good one we 360 00:15:59,910 --> 00:15:58,160 have a toolkit in the space shuttle and 361 00:16:01,749 --> 00:15:59,920 we have several toolkits here on the 362 00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:01,759 space station and one of the biggest 363 00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:03,360 things that we've been doing 364 00:16:07,269 --> 00:16:05,519 here during our mission 365 00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:07,279 and kaye is just showing me this bag if 366 00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:14,550 but there's a wrench and some pliers 367 00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:16,880 and some different types of screwdrivers 368 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:18,720 and ratchets and scissors there's all 369 00:16:23,189 --> 00:16:20,639 kinds of stuff here sockets 370 00:16:24,710 --> 00:16:23,199 and so if you're a tool person this job 371 00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:24,720 is really fun 372 00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:26,959 because uh for the last several days and 373 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:29,040 for the next few days we're we're in 374 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:30,880 there turning wrenches and screwdrivers 375 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:32,720 and all kinds of stuff 376 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:35,680 to attach node three our new module and 377 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:36,480 then 378 00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:38,399 later today to attack to move the cupola 379 00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:40,399 and to attach that so we have lots of 380 00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:43,680 tools and we use them a lot 381 00:16:47,269 --> 00:16:45,120 this is mission control houston with a 382 00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:47,279 view inside the space station's destiny 383 00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,880 laboratory module 384 00:16:53,590 --> 00:16:52,079 astronauts 385 00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:53,600 kay higher and terry burts are back at 386 00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:56,639 the robotics workstation standing by to 387 00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,199 maneuver canadarm2 388 00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:01,759 to move the cupola 389 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,600 element from its current location on the 390 00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:05,600 end of tranquility to a 391 00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:07,199 port on the earth 392 00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:09,839 facing side of tranquility 393 00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:11,439 next to them is station commander jeff 394 00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:13,280 williams who's been working at the 395 00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,360 computers to operate the common berthing 396 00:17:21,669 --> 00:17:17,600 mechanism in the latches and bolts that 397 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,029 during that procedure one bolt jammed 398 00:17:29,669 --> 00:17:27,520 and during the initial 399 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,679 planned troubleshooting step another 400 00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:31,440 bolt jammed 401 00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:33,440 so one continues to be jammed at this 402 00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:34,799 point but not the 403 00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:37,600 same as the original one 404 00:17:41,029 --> 00:17:39,200 the next 405 00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:41,039 option that the mission control team has 406 00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:48,390 the next step is to de-rigidize or or 407 00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:50,799 command the joints and the space station 408 00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:52,960 robotic arm to go to limp 409 00:18:07,669 --> 00:17:59,350 for about 30 seconds as the arm is 410 00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:10,549 in houston this time we got bolt 1-3 411 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:26,070 and houston sees that jeff 412 00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:27,909 i'm sure you guys are talking about 413 00:18:33,669 --> 00:18:29,919 possible loads from the internal 414 00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:35,590 jeff right now we're talking about 415 00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:37,760 upping the torques on the bolts and 416 00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:39,039 we'll get back to you after we've had 417 00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:52,549 the crew on board the international 418 00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:54,640 space station will now try the procedure 419 00:19:00,630 --> 00:18:57,919 again to deploy the four latches 420 00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:00,640 that are holding the cupola in place on 421 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:06,470 commander jeff williams and mission 422 00:19:11,190 --> 00:19:08,480 specialist kay heyer had worked through 423 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:11,200 a malfunction procedure after getting an 424 00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:14,480 abort message from trying to deploy the 425 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:16,080 four latches on the common birthing 426 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:17,200 mechanism 427 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:19,840 basically resetting the software and 428 00:19:24,549 --> 00:19:22,240 attempting the deployment again 429 00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:24,559 the reset of the software was successful 430 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:27,280 and the redeployment attempt will 431 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:29,679 come shortly 432 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:32,640 this all in part of the procedure to 433 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:35,760 unlatch the cupola from the tranquility 434 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,710 and houston good news we're complete 435 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:53,270 houston concurs 436 00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:55,510 station commander jeff williams confirms 437 00:20:04,149 --> 00:19:58,400 that the latch is deployed as planned 438 00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:07,470 houston copies and in step are procedure 439 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:12,159 1.410 ssrms cupola relocate step 5 is 440 00:20:31,190 --> 00:20:26,149 eastern front station for robotics 441 00:20:31,200 --> 00:21:12,470 houston copies on the big loop 442 00:21:15,669 --> 00:21:14,149 this is mission control houston the team 443 00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:15,679 in the international space station 444 00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:17,200 flight control room is monitoring the 445 00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:19,840 progress of relocating the cupola using 446 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:22,799 the station's robotic arm canadarm2 447 00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:25,280 astronaut terry burts and astronaut 448 00:21:30,070 --> 00:21:27,760 kayhier are at the robotics workstation 449 00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:30,080 to conduct that maneuver verts indicated 450 00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:31,919 that the seal on the common berthing 451 00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:35,039 mechanism for cupola looks clear but 452 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:37,200 that an electrical connector has popped 453 00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:39,840 out from behind the center and that it 454 00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:42,000 is recessed and cleared the mating 455 00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:43,440 surface so 456 00:21:47,430 --> 00:21:45,440 the team agreed to continue on to the 457 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:47,440 next position of cupola at the 458 00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:49,440 pre-install position just 459 00:22:00,310 --> 00:21:58,230 go ahead jeff space ground one 460 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:00,320 yeah that wire that we're looking at uh 461 00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:03,600 i clearly remember um in the cupola it's 462 00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:05,600 in its nominal location 463 00:22:09,750 --> 00:22:08,320 the uh when i reinstalled the the 464 00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:09,760 thermal 465 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:10,880 mli 466 00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:12,720 it that the velcro appeared to be 467 00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:14,720 intended to be 468 00:22:18,549 --> 00:22:17,280 installed such that that wire is visible 469 00:22:22,149 --> 00:22:18,559 and that's just the way i remember 470 00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:25,590 all right thanks for that 471 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:27,909 big info please copy i'll uh go ahead if 472 00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:30,240 you want me to do another survey or just 473 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,669 let's just focus on the cable okay 474 00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:41,750 anymore 475 00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:43,440 this is mission control houston with a 476 00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:46,000 zoomed in video camera view of a 477 00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:47,200 connector 478 00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:50,720 inside around the thermal insulation on 479 00:22:57,029 --> 00:22:53,120 the port of the cupola that will be 480 00:23:01,430 --> 00:22:59,190 engineers just wanted to take a close-up 481 00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:01,440 look with the video to make sure that 482 00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:03,280 that won't interfere with latches to 483 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:06,159 connect cupola in place looks good we'd 484 00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:08,320 like you to proceed to pre-install once 485 00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:09,919 it pre-installed take a look out the 486 00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:11,919 window and make sure that this wire 487 00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:13,840 hasn't moved and it's going to be out of 488 00:24:01,750 --> 00:23:57,669 we've got four rtls that are steady 489 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:02,830 houston 490 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:06,799 concur at 12 25 a.m central time the 491 00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:08,640 crew has indicated that there are four 492 00:24:12,630 --> 00:24:10,480 ready to latch indications that means 493 00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:12,640 that cupola has made contact with the 494 00:24:17,510 --> 00:24:14,720 port that it will be attached to 495 00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:17,520 the next stage will be to deploy four 496 00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:19,039 latches 497 00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:20,960 to a temporarily 498 00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:22,720 place a cupola 499 00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:24,320 on tranquility 500 00:24:29,350 --> 00:24:26,720 and then a series of bolts will be 501 00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:29,360 engaged in a two-stage fashion 502 00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:31,200 so that in the end there 503 00:24:38,149 --> 00:24:34,640 will be 16 bolts securing cupola to its 504 00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:40,870 that's basically on the big loop uh the 505 00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:42,480 ss rs 506 00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:45,760 ssrms is limped and we're going for 507 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,510 getting a good shot now of the cupola 508 00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:57,120 there on the left portion of your screen 509 00:25:01,269 --> 00:24:59,120 now in its permanent location 510 00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:01,279 on the nadir port of the tranquility 511 00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:02,880 module nader means that it faces down 512 00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:05,120 toward earth 513 00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:06,559 you can see it's still covered up those 514 00:25:09,669 --> 00:25:08,000 covers will come off during the third 515 00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:09,679 and final spacewalk of this mission 516 00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:11,039 that's going to be conducted by bob 517 00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:11,919 benkin 518 00:25:16,870 --> 00:25:14,799 and nick patrick both restraint systems 519 00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:16,880 moved 520 00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:19,120 as you can see the end of the station's 521 00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:21,520 robotic arm has successfully let go of 522 00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:24,159 the cupola 523 00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:26,320 and nick patrick and bob binkin who are 524 00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,559 currently working inside the destiny 525 00:25:32,789 --> 00:25:30,559 laboratory and one of the robotics 526 00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:32,799 workstations there will continue to back 527 00:25:38,149 --> 00:25:35,360 away this arm and drive it over toward 528 00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:38,159 pressurized mating adapter number three 529 00:25:44,789 --> 00:25:40,240 it is as we mentioned currently on top 530 00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:46,870 which in this view would be toward the 531 00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:48,640 bottom it's over toward where the 532 00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:50,480 shuttle is currently located 533 00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:52,320 the shuttle docks with pressurized 534 00:25:57,190 --> 00:25:54,960 mating adapter number two 535 00:25:59,190 --> 00:25:57,200 but uh pma3 has been located over on 536 00:26:00,710 --> 00:25:59,200 harmony temporarily to basically just 537 00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:00,720 get it out of the way 538 00:26:03,909 --> 00:26:02,320 of all the different uh 539 00:26:05,510 --> 00:26:03,919 robotics work that had to be done during 540 00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:05,520 this mission getting tranquility 541 00:26:08,789 --> 00:26:07,360 installed as well as the cupola moved 542 00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:08,799 over 543 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:10,880 but if you look toward the 544 00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:12,960 left part of your screen you see an 545 00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:14,880 empty hatchway there on the end of 546 00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:17,919 tranquility this is where that pma3 will 547 00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:19,840 ultimately be installed that is where 548 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:22,080 the cupola used to be 549 00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:31,590 the station's massive robotic arm being 550 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:33,760 moved from left to right as it turns its 551 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:35,360 attention away from the cupola over 552 00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:37,039 toward pressurized 553 00:26:47,029 --> 00:26:45,350 you can barely see the tip of pma3 on 554 00:26:49,750 --> 00:26:47,039 the very bottom right hand portion of 555 00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:49,760 your screen it is actually on the top 556 00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:51,120 of the harmony note it's a little bit 557 00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:52,480 misleading because this camera angle is 558 00:26:55,430 --> 00:26:54,000 turned upside down 559 00:26:58,390 --> 00:26:55,440 but that robotic arm is going to be used 560 00:27:01,190 --> 00:26:58,400 to grab on to pma3 and to begin the 561 00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:01,200 process of removing it and move it over 562 00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:03,520 toward tranquility the majority of that 563 00:27:07,590 --> 00:27:05,200 activity will take place tomorrow during 564 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:07,600 the cruise day 565 00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:10,240 endeavor iss this is wor do you read me 566 00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:11,520 copy 567 00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:14,640 wr we have you loud and clear how us ah 568 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:17,200 yes indeed uh who am i speaking with 569 00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:19,520 you've got bob bankin one of the mission 570 00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:22,000 specialists and uh terry verts our pilot 571 00:27:26,789 --> 00:27:24,480 on endeavor all right uh bob bob good 572 00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:26,799 morning to the both of you uh we don't 573 00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:28,240 have a lot of time here so let me get 574 00:27:33,269 --> 00:27:31,200 right to it uh this node tranquility 575 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:33,279 that you folks have brought up to the 576 00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:35,840 international space station i understand 577 00:27:39,510 --> 00:27:38,000 as of yesterday it had some troubles you 578 00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:39,520 were part of the space walk on 579 00:27:44,710 --> 00:27:42,640 installation where does it stand today 580 00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:44,720 well we're marching right along at this 581 00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:46,159 point we had a little bit of trouble 582 00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:48,399 with what's called the center disc cover 583 00:27:51,909 --> 00:27:50,080 it's a piece of material that needs to 584 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:51,919 be put in place uh prior to some 585 00:27:55,430 --> 00:27:53,760 relocation activities and there was some 586 00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:55,440 interference with that 587 00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:57,600 but from a spacewalk perspective that 588 00:28:01,590 --> 00:27:59,360 was no impact and we were able to go 589 00:28:03,830 --> 00:28:01,600 outside and hook up the cooling system 590 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:03,840 after having hooked up the electrical 591 00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:06,799 power on the previous spacewalk so node 592 00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:08,720 3 is up and running there's fans and 593 00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:11,520 cooling and lights even so it's looking 594 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:13,120 good 595 00:28:16,630 --> 00:28:14,640 robert 596 00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:16,640 this is not your first time up and this 597 00:28:20,549 --> 00:28:18,640 is certainly not your first space walk 598 00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:20,559 can you describe it i mean is it is it 599 00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:23,520 hard moving all of those big pieces and 600 00:28:28,549 --> 00:28:25,760 and being in that what appears to be 601 00:28:30,230 --> 00:28:28,559 bulky space suit of viewers or is it uh 602 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:30,240 similar to doing any sort of manual 603 00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:32,000 labor job 604 00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:33,440 well we kind of described some of the 605 00:28:37,510 --> 00:28:35,360 work that we do is is a kind of a little 606 00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:37,520 bit of heavy lifting when we're outside 607 00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:39,279 in that suit it's actually kind of like 608 00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:41,520 being inside of a balloon it's a 609 00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:44,320 pressurized at about four little over 610 00:28:48,470 --> 00:28:46,720 four pounds per square inch which means 611 00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:48,480 every time you close your hand on 612 00:28:52,070 --> 00:28:50,320 something you have to change the shape 613 00:28:54,630 --> 00:28:52,080 of that balloon and doing that for about 614 00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:54,640 six hours can kind of wear you out 615 00:28:58,789 --> 00:28:56,320 with all the gear and all the tools 616 00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:58,799 together we weigh if we were on the 617 00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:01,120 ground close to 600 pounds inside of 618 00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:04,000 that suit and so it does take some some 619 00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:06,480 training and some careful practice in 620 00:29:10,230 --> 00:29:07,679 order to make sure that you don't get 621 00:29:12,149 --> 00:29:10,240 that 600 pounds moving very quickly 622 00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:12,159 otherwise you got to put a lot of force 623 00:29:16,310 --> 00:29:14,000 in with those hands that are squeezing 624 00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:16,320 inside of those balloons to slow it down 625 00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:18,559 so it is a it is a pretty good workout 626 00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:20,159 and we all spend quite a bit of time in 627 00:29:24,549 --> 00:29:22,559 the gym trying to get in shape before we 628 00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:24,559 step up here to do space walks on this 629 00:29:29,110 --> 00:29:26,640 flight we'll do three spacewalks with uh 630 00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:29,120 just two spacewalkers and so each of us 631 00:29:32,630 --> 00:29:31,279 will go out for three different uh 632 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:32,640 occasions and 633 00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:34,960 for a total of about 18 hours 634 00:29:38,830 --> 00:29:37,440 and that can be really exhausting if you 635 00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:38,840 haven't trained for it 636 00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:40,240 appropriately we're talking live this 637 00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:42,399 morning with space shuttle endeavour its 638 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:44,960 pilot is terry verts uh terry i 639 00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:46,960 understand this is your first trip into 640 00:29:51,669 --> 00:29:49,679 space uh so far so good what was the 641 00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:51,679 reaction what was it like and did it 642 00:29:57,190 --> 00:29:53,840 meet expectations it's been a lot better 643 00:29:58,710 --> 00:29:57,200 than expectations um during our launch 644 00:30:00,389 --> 00:29:58,720 it's about eight minutes 645 00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:00,399 with the engines running before we get 646 00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:03,200 into space we go from zero to about 17 647 00:30:07,029 --> 00:30:05,520 500 miles an hour in about eight minutes 648 00:30:08,710 --> 00:30:07,039 and i had a chance to look outside on 649 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:08,720 the way up and i was able to see the 650 00:30:11,909 --> 00:30:10,240 moon 651 00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:11,919 outside on the horizon 652 00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:13,360 and then as the shuttle did a roll 653 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:14,880 maneuver um 654 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:17,120 i i caught a quick glimpse of the entire 655 00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:18,480 east coast of the united states and it 656 00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:20,159 was just an amazing sight 657 00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:21,520 and then 658 00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:23,760 you're under this g-force three g's it 659 00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:25,840 feels like three times your body weight 660 00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:27,360 it's kind of sitting on your chest and 661 00:30:30,230 --> 00:30:28,320 then 662 00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:30,240 uh boom the engines shut down and you're 663 00:30:33,909 --> 00:30:32,240 floating and then a few minutes later we 664 00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:33,919 were going over the alps and i was 665 00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:35,520 really amazed the view of the earth was 666 00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:37,360 different than what i expected 667 00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:39,120 much better 668 00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:41,520 all right now i understand or i heard 669 00:30:47,110 --> 00:30:45,039 that on takeoff some of the insulation 670 00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:47,120 might have separated is that true and if 671 00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:48,960 so are you concerned 672 00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:51,360 we're not concerned at all we we did a 673 00:30:55,269 --> 00:30:53,520 lot of inspection on the second flight 674 00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:55,279 day that we were in space 675 00:30:59,509 --> 00:30:57,600 and we we looked at every nook and 676 00:31:02,310 --> 00:30:59,519 cranny of the of the bottom of the heat 677 00:31:04,149 --> 00:31:02,320 shield of the space shuttle and we have 678 00:31:06,230 --> 00:31:04,159 a very large team of engineers on the 679 00:31:08,310 --> 00:31:06,240 ground that looked at it there were a 680 00:31:09,669 --> 00:31:08,320 couple of small areas where a tile came 681 00:31:11,350 --> 00:31:09,679 loose and on the top of the wing there 682 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:11,360 was a 683 00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:12,880 a piece of material that's sticking up a 684 00:31:15,909 --> 00:31:14,399 little bit but it overall it looks 685 00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:15,919 really really clean and we don't have 686 00:31:20,950 --> 00:31:18,240 any concerns at all up here we've mainly 687 00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:20,960 been just really busy working from 688 00:31:24,389 --> 00:31:23,200 all day long getting these two modules 689 00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,399 that we've been installing that's been 690 00:31:27,669 --> 00:31:26,000 our main focus 691 00:31:30,149 --> 00:31:27,679 terry there are only four more flights 692 00:31:31,909 --> 00:31:30,159 of the shuttle program here in the 693 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:31,919 united states and after that we really 694 00:31:35,669 --> 00:31:33,600 don't have any other way to get back and 695 00:31:37,430 --> 00:31:35,679 forth to the space station or even into 696 00:31:39,029 --> 00:31:37,440 space except with the help of the 697 00:31:41,750 --> 00:31:39,039 russians and 698 00:31:44,950 --> 00:31:41,760 their equipment uh you're a fairly 699 00:31:47,509 --> 00:31:44,960 fairly new astronaut uh from your 700 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:47,519 perspective how disappointing is that 701 00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:48,880 well it'll be sad to see the shuttle 702 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,399 retire that's for sure a lot of people 703 00:31:54,710 --> 00:31:52,080 have spent a lot of years on it but it's 704 00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:54,720 been 30 years and um every program 705 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:56,320 eventually comes to an end so hopefully 706 00:32:00,149 --> 00:31:57,600 we'll move on to something bigger and 707 00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:00,159 better and you're right the uh americans 708 00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:01,760 will not be able to send astronauts into 709 00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:04,399 space we will be using the russian soyuz 710 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:06,480 in fact i had a chance today uh several 711 00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:08,640 times there are two soyuz docked to the 712 00:32:11,909 --> 00:32:10,000 space station right now so i've been 713 00:32:13,830 --> 00:32:11,919 down there and and taking a look at them 714 00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:13,840 but you're right that america will not 715 00:32:20,070 --> 00:32:16,080 have a way to launch astronauts 716 00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:20,080 uh the the soyuz uh space uh capsules 717 00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:22,080 are are almost as old as the space 718 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:23,600 shuttle are they not 719 00:32:27,909 --> 00:32:26,240 actually the soyuz space vehicles are 720 00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:27,919 quite a bit older at least the original 721 00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:30,080 soyuz are they were they they've been 722 00:32:35,350 --> 00:32:33,039 around since the up the soyuz and solute 723 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:35,360 days uh many years ago and so the soyuz 724 00:32:40,149 --> 00:32:37,440 has a much longer history than even the 725 00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:40,159 shuttle does but the the soyuz has been 726 00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:42,320 upgraded over the last several years 727 00:32:46,310 --> 00:32:44,240 there's been a couple of variants and 728 00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:46,320 they continue to make improvements and 729 00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:48,000 what's different between the soyuz and 730 00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:49,519 the space shuttle is that the space 731 00:32:54,230 --> 00:32:52,320 shuttle is reusable we land it and then 732 00:32:56,549 --> 00:32:54,240 we refurbish it and then fly it again 733 00:32:58,870 --> 00:32:56,559 but each soyuz is replaced 734 00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:58,880 pretty much in its entirety before it 735 00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:00,720 goes out to the launch pad to launch 736 00:33:04,789 --> 00:33:02,240 again and so it's almost like getting a 737 00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:04,799 new vehicle every time with the soyuz 738 00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:08,080 endeavor iss this is ktvi tv how do you 739 00:33:11,509 --> 00:33:09,039 hear me 740 00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:11,519 ktvi tv we have you loud and clear on 741 00:33:19,750 --> 00:33:17,909 that is fantastic good morning from st 742 00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:19,760

international space station 746 00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:26,960 so far it's uh going really well we've 747 00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:29,120 got the node three attached to the space 748 00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:31,120 station we've got the cooling and 749 00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:32,960 electric hooked up to the outside of it 750 00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:35,760 and today our pilots uh relocated the 751 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:38,159 the cupola the nice window that's going 752 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:40,240 to be the window on the earth from the 753 00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:42,000 international space station to it's a 754 00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:44,000 new home on the underside of node 3. so 755 00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:45,440 it's going really well 756 00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:47,200 bob you know we

00:34:01,669 --> 00:33:59,279 lambert 763 00:34:04,789 --> 00:34:01,679 my father's a construction worker and my 764 00:34:06,710 --> 00:34:04,799 mother had worked at mcdonald douglas 765 00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:06,720 when i was a when i was a child and so i 766 00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:08,399 grew up right there in saint anne went 767 00:34:12,470 --> 00:34:10,560 to st anne elementary which is 768 00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:12,480 since closed and i think they've built a 769 00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:14,399 new school there at this time and i went 770 00:34:18,149 --> 00:34:16,639 through the pattonville school district 771 00:34:19,349 --> 00:34:18,159 and graduated from pattonville high 772 00:34:21,589 --> 00:34:19,359 school 773 00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:21,599 i am curious terry what does it look 774 00:34:25,990 --> 00:34:23,440 like from space i mean like we've had a 775 00:34:28,710 --> 00:34:26,000 lot of snow so can you see the snow from 776 00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:28,720 space on earth oh yeah we can absolutely 777 00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:30,079 uh see the snow the thing that's really 778 00:34:33,510 --> 00:34:32,079 stuck out to me is just how snowy earth 779 00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:33,520 is right now i think we're having a cold 780 00:34:36,149 --> 00:34:35,280 winter because it seems like everywhere 781 00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:36,159 we go 782 00:34:41,109 --> 00:34:38,240 except for central africa and the in the 783 00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:41,119 desert you see snow 784 00:34:44,550 --> 00:34:42,960 especially over russia and siberia 785 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:44,560 mongolia that whole there's an entire 786 00:34:48,149 --> 00:34:46,879 continent that's nothing but snow so it 787 00:34:49,510 --> 00:34:48,159 does look like it's been pretty cold 788 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,520 down there but the view of earth is 789 00:34:53,109 --> 00:34:51,599 really spectacular this is my first 790 00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:53,119 flight and it was it was different than 791 00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:55,200 what i thought there's a lot more color 792 00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:57,200 to it and um it's even better than what 793 00:35:00,710 --> 00:34:58,880 i thought i'd been as much as i've heard 794 00:35:02,790 --> 00:35:00,720 as many pictures that i've seen there's 795 00:35:04,390 --> 00:35:02,800 nothing like seeing it in person 796 00:35:05,589 --> 00:35:04,400 that is amazing i want to ask bob 797 00:35:07,349 --> 00:35:05,599 another question we understand you 798 00:35:09,510 --> 00:35:07,359 brought some special items along

that was from the mechanical 802 00:35:17,109 --> 00:35:15,280 engineering department that they 803 00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:17,119 provided for me that is on board 804 00:35:22,069 --> 00:35:20,160 endeavor and i also have a a certificate 805 00:35:24,150 --> 00:35:22,079 from the physics department as well that 806 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:24,160 i'm flying for them so those are two 807 00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:26,160 departments right there in st louis that 808 00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:28,240 i graduated from before 809 00:35:31,990 --> 00:35:30,400 picking up my education out 810

that tranquility 819 00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:49,440 module out of the shuttle bay and 820 00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:51,119 attaching it to the international space 821 00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:57,670 that's right we've had a really great 822 00:36:01,109 --> 00:35:59,359 mission it's the first time that the 823 00:36:03,349 --> 00:36:01,119 space shuttle or that anybody has 824 00:36:05,750 --> 00:36:03,359 brought up two modules at once we have 825 00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:05,760 what's called node three or tranquility 826 00:36:09,430 --> 00:36:07,920 it's a large living facility and then we 827 00:36:11,190 --> 00:36:09,440 also have a module called the cupola 828 00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:11,200 that was launched attached to 829 00:36:15,670 --> 00:36:13,760 tranquility and so uh several days ago 830 00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:15,680 we took those out of the payload bay 831 00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:18,160 while bob and nick patrick went outside 832 00:36:22,390 --> 00:36:20,079 and disconnected it i moved it from the 833 00:36:23,990 --> 00:36:22,400 shuttle and attached it to the station 834 00:36:25,910 --> 00:36:24,000 and then just today 835 00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:25,920 we detached the cupola from one end of 836 00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:28,000 tranquility and moved it around and 837 00:36:32,150 --> 00:36:30,000 reattached it to the bottom and we've 838 00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:32,160 been busy all day connecting bolts and 839 00:36:35,670 --> 00:36:33,520 hoses and that kind of thing getting 840 00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:35,680 these modules ready to go so we've been 841 00:36:39,589 --> 00:36:37,280 we've had a really successful mission so 842 00:36:41,349 --> 00:36:39,599 far bob's done two spacewalks and we've 843 00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:41,359 got both of our main modules attached to 844 00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:42,800 the station which is really really good 845 00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:43,680 news 846 00:36:47,109 --> 00:36:45,680 now mission specialist banking is from 847 00:36:49,349 --> 00:36:47,119 missouri just a bit up the road from us 848 00:36:50,950 --> 00:36:49,359 here in memphis is back on endeavor uh 849 00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:50,960 with a couple of spacewalks under his 850 00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:52,480 belt already 851 00:36:56,390 --> 00:36:54,640 has everything gone up perfectly 852 00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:56,400 according to plan or have you had to 853 00:36:59,589 --> 00:36:58,160 adjust a little bit on this particular 854 00:37:01,270 --> 00:36:59,599 mission 855 00:37:03,190 --> 00:37:01,280 well i think that the uh the folks that 856 00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:03,200 are on the on the inside have had quite 857 00:37:06,950 --> 00:37:05,280 a bit of a adjustment to trying to just 858 00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:06,960 deal with some minor issues that have 859 00:37:11,109 --> 00:37:09,040 come up with interference of a lot of 860 00:37:12,950 --> 00:37:11,119 hardware there's a lot of a lot of parts 861 00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:12,960 that need to be moved around in order to 862 00:37:15,910 --> 00:37:14,320 accomplish 863 00:37:17,270 --> 00:37:15,920 moving a module out of the shuttle 864 00:37:18,790 --> 00:37:17,280 payload bay and actually getting it 865 00:37:20,470 --> 00:37:18,800 attached to the international space 866 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:20,480 station and then certainly once you get 867 00:37:23,829 --> 00:37:22,000 that module attached and you start to 868 00:37:25,589 --> 00:37:23,839 try to take it apart and move pieces of 869 00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:25,599 it around the space station you can 870 00:37:29,190 --> 00:37:27,200 imagine keeping track of all those 871 00:37:31,670 --> 00:37:29,200 pieces and making sure they all fit just 872 00:37:33,430 --> 00:37:31,680 right is takes a lot of effort and a lot 873 00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:33,440 of folks working together to make it 874 00:37:35,910 --> 00:37:34,480 happen 875 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:35,920 certainly during the spacewalks uh 876 00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:38,160 things have gone really uh really 877 00:37:41,990 --> 00:37:40,000 closely to our plans we've been able to 878 00:37:43,589 --> 00:37:42,000 get through all of our tasks on the last 879 00:37:45,670 --> 00:37:43,599 couple of spacewalks which was really 880 00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:45,680 nice we're able to get electricity and 881 00:37:49,829 --> 00:37:47,680 cooling hooked up to the outside of 882 00:37:51,910 --> 00:37:49,839 those new modules which is also really 883 00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:51,920 exciting it means that the folks who are 884 00:37:55,270 --> 00:37:53,440 working on the inside aren't wearing 885 00:37:57,270 --> 00:37:55,280 headlamps and doing 886 00:37:58,870 --> 00:37:57,280 cave diving in order to to get their 887 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:58,880 work accomplished so we're really happy 888 00:38:01,589 --> 00:38:00,240 about that as well 889 00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:01,599 maybe you can tell us a little bit more 890 00:38:05,829 --> 00:38:03,680 about what the tranquility module is 891 00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:05,839 going to do for the scientists that will 892 00:38:09,430 --> 00:38:07,440 be aboard the international space 893 00:38:11,750 --> 00:38:09,440 station it really adds a little bit more 894 00:38:14,310 --> 00:38:11,760 room to the space station doesn't it 895 00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:14,320 oh it adds a lot it's a very large 896 00:38:18,310 --> 00:38:16,480 module it's one of the largest onboard 897 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:18,320 and it's going to be mainly a living 898 00:38:21,430 --> 00:38:19,200 area 899 00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:21,440 it has several different life support 900 00:38:25,589 --> 00:38:23,680 racks that help to recycle oxygen and 901 00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:25,599 water and that kind of thing 902 00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:27,440 there's a large exercise machine on 903 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:28,320 there 904 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:29,599 that helps a lot when you live in 905 00:38:33,190 --> 00:38:31,680 weightlessness for six months it can 906 00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:33,200 really take a toll on your bodies on 907 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,800 your bones and your muscles and being 908 00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:36,960 able to do exercise is really critical 909 00:38:40,790 --> 00:38:38,880 to being able to live in space 910 00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:40,800 and it also is gonna have the cupola 911 00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:42,320 attached to it but it's gonna which is 912 00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:44,160 going to have the 913 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:47,599 ability to put a robotic control station 914 00:38:51,270 --> 00:38:49,760 so you can look outside and uh move the 915 00:38:52,470 --> 00:38:51,280 robotic arm 916 00:38:54,150 --> 00:38:52,480 now you were mentioning a little 917 00:38:55,990 --> 00:38:54,160 probably the most important thing that 918 00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:56,000 it will do the 919 00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:57,680 i'm sorry probably the most important 920 00:39:01,990 --> 00:38:59,200 thing that it'll do for scientists is it 921 00:39:03,910 --> 00:39:02,000 will get the uh the bathroom compartment 922 00:39:05,589 --> 00:39:03,920 out of the u.s laboratory and get it 923 00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:05,599 over into another module to kind of 924 00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:07,280 allow more science to happen in that 925 00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:09,040 laboratory and turn it into less of a 926 00:39:12,790 --> 00:39:11,040 hygiene facility 927 00:39:15,589 --> 00:39:12,800 now you were mentioning the exercise in 928 00:39:17,750 --> 00:39:15,599 outer space does this mean that the cold 929 00:39:19,349 --> 00:39:17,760 bear machine that we've heard so much 930 00:39:21,589 --> 00:39:19,359 about that exercise machine is that 931 00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:21,599 going into the tranquility module 932 00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:24,320 uh it sure is that's one of the yeah i'm 933 00:39:27,349 --> 00:39:25,920 staring at it right now it's it's just a 934 00:39:28,790 --> 00:39:27,359 few feet from me and that's going to 935 00:39:31,190 --> 00:39:28,800 move down there 936 00:39:33,430 --> 00:39:31,200 every day the station crew members have 937 00:39:34,950 --> 00:39:33,440 they run on the treadmill they have a 938 00:39:36,630 --> 00:39:34,960 cycle type machine and then they have 939 00:39:38,550 --> 00:39:36,640 this weight lifting machine 940 00:39:39,990 --> 00:39:38,560 something called a-red and 941 00:39:41,510 --> 00:39:40,000 exercise is an important part of their 942 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:41,520 day they spend a couple hours every day 943 00:39:44,790 --> 00:39:43,760 exercising and the great thing about it 944 00:39:46,950 --> 00:39:44,800 having 945 00:39:48,230 --> 00:39:46,960 had humans americans and our 946 00:39:51,430 --> 00:39:48,240 international partners on board the 947 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:51,440 space station since 2000 continuously 948 00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:53,599 we're going on 10 years now we've shown 949 00:39:57,990 --> 00:39:56,000 that we can live and work in space for 950 00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:58,000 long durations and and guys come back in 951 00:40:02,390 --> 00:39:59,760 great shape and that's due to a large 952 00:40:03,990 --> 00:40:02,400 part because of the exercise that we do 953 00:40:05,910 --> 00:40:04,000 i wish we could spend more time chatting 954 00:40:08,069 --> 00:40:05,920 with you but we are out of time pilot 955 00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:08,079 terry burts and mission specialist rob 956 00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:09,359 bank and we thank you for joining us 957 00:40:13,190 --> 00:40:11,040 this morning on daybreak you get an 958 00:40:14,630 --> 00:40:13,200 extra day in space i understand enjoy 959 00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:14,640 safe travels and we'll see you back down 960 00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:16,560 on the ground within about a week i 961 00:40:23,109 --> 00:40:17,599 think that's next sunday that you're 962 00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:25,589 have a good day uh memphis thanks to for 963 00:40:34,790 --> 00:40:32,790 this is heading from the shuttle 964 00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:34,800 endeavor over towards the international 965 00:40:46,870 --> 00:40:44,550 and here entering 966 00:40:53,670 --> 00:40:46,880 node 2 of the international space 967 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,550 there goes nick patrick 968 00:41:01,430 --> 00:40:59,990 this is the commander of the 969 00:41:07,829 --> 00:41:01,440 international space station jeff 970 00:41:09,990 --> 00:41:09,109 moving from 971 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:10,000 nerd 972 00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:26,309 as we progress from forward to aft in 973 00:41:34,069 --> 00:41:28,160 the lab we passed the robotic 974 00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:41,990 enter into node number one 975 00:41:47,510 --> 00:41:44,630 we can now take a right turn and enter 976 00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:47,520 the new node three 977 00:41:51,910 --> 00:41:49,920 this is a view inside node three looking 978 00:41:57,109 --> 00:41:51,920 towards the port or left side of the 979 00:41:57,119 --> 00:42:03,030 this is the hatch 980 00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:04,309 now we get all the way to the end and 981 00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:05,920 turn all the way around looking now 982 00:42:09,510 --> 00:42:07,920 towards the starboard you can see all 983 00:42:11,829 --> 00:42:09,520 the way across 984 00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:11,839 towards node one the equipment lock and 985 00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:17,990 this is our nader hatch and earlier 986 00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:19,839 today we were able to just look out that 987 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:22,640 window and see down on a beautiful earth 988 00:42:26,950 --> 00:42:24,720 if we look out there now we'd actually 989 00:42:29,910 --> 00:42:26,960 see a cupola because we 990 00:42:30,710 --> 00:42:29,920 replaced the cupola there to the nader 991 00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:30,720 or 992 00:42:43,589 --> 00:42:32,079 earth-facing 993 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:46,309 these are just more views of inside node 994 00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:54,470 here we see a little bit of the work we 995 00:43:00,069 --> 00:42:55,920 were doing 996 00:43:03,190 --> 00:43:00,079 inside there three that found here is 997 00:43:07,190 --> 00:43:03,200 the venting of the cupola before we 998 00:43:10,950 --> 00:43:08,950 coupler is just on the other side of 999 00:43:13,270 --> 00:43:10,960 that hatch and 1000 00:43:15,670 --> 00:43:13,280 it's very opened up some valves to be 1001 00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:15,680 able to prevent the atmosphere that was 1002 00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:21,829 that allowed us to 1003 00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:24,000 move remove the cupola from the port 1004 00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:26,480 side and move it around to the bottom or 1005 00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:41,349 as a safety precaution now we do wear 1006 00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:42,720 ear plugs 1007 00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:44,800 when we're venting like this because you 1008 00:43:56,950 --> 00:43:47,520 can hear the kind of high pitch noise as 1009 00:44:02,710 --> 00:43:59,510 once again this is showing the nader or 1010 00:44:03,990 --> 00:44:02,720 bottom facing hatch before the cupola 1011 00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:04,000 was placed there 1012 00:44:08,069 --> 00:44:06,000 this is just giving you a glimpse of 1013 00:44:10,550 --> 00:44:08,079 what our view might look like this is 1014 00:44:12,309 --> 00:44:10,560 just one single window but now that we 1015 00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:12,319 have the cupola there we're going to 1016 00:44:34,309 --> 00:44:14,560 have seven windows facing down in this 1017 00:44:42,309 --> 00:44:37,190 and here we have terry and i are working 1018 00:44:47,430 --> 00:44:45,349 now back to the lab jerry's 1019 00:44:49,910 --> 00:44:47,440 setting up the robotic workstation in 1020 00:44:52,150 --> 00:44:49,920 order to relocate the cupola he's going 1021 00:44:54,790 --> 00:44:52,160 to use the robotic arm to reach out and 1022 00:45:08,230 --> 00:44:54,800 grab the cupola and to move it around to 1023 00:45:11,109 --> 00:45:09,670 there's the cupola looking out the 1024 00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:11,119 window here's bob

world's experts 1028 00:45:20,870 --> 00:45:18,960 on resizing abuse i think bob said 1029 00:45:24,150 --> 00:45:20,880 they're going to do four resizes and 1030 00:45:26,069 --> 00:45:24,160 they only brought up three emus 1031 00:45:27,829 --> 00:45:26,079 that's been good i know the guys on the 1032 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:27,839 ground have been working really hard to 1033 00:45:32,870 --> 00:45:29,520 come up with these plans i know that's a 1034 00:45:37,270 --> 00:45:35,589 okay here's the russian segment um 1035 00:45:38,630 --> 00:45:37,280 i think one of our cosmonauts filmed 1036 00:45:40,630 --> 00:45:38,640 this for us or it might have been stevie 1037 00:45:42,390 --> 00:45:40,640 ray he's flying through the fgb which is 1038 00:45:45,829 --> 00:45:42,400 a storage area 1039 00:45:48,150 --> 00:45:45,839 um just asked of node one and when you 1040 00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:48,160 come into this area you can go down to 1041 00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:50,079 the docking compartment 1042 00:45:54,150 --> 00:45:52,480 yeah and or you can go up to the what's 1043 00:45:55,990 --> 00:45:54,160 called the mrm 1044 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:56,000 and then here is the view i

environment here and the camera 1048 00:46:07,589 --> 00:46:06,079 was almost too big to see through the 1049 00:46:09,990 --> 00:46:07,599 window but if you look just in the 1050 00:46:12,550 -->
