tell you a little 7 00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:15,690 bit about what they'll be doing out 8 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:17,510 there we have the expedition 24 9 00:00:22,609 --> 00:00:19,650 spacewalk flight director Chris Edelen 10 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:22,619 and the International Space Station 11 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:25,050 deputy program manager Kirk Cameron will 12 00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:26,130 let them start with some opening 13 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:27,830 statements and then we'll take questions 14 00:00:33,260 --> 00:00:30,090 okay thank you brandy and good afternoon 15 00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:33,270 everybody Russian TV a 25 is scheduled 16 00:00:39,319 --> 00:00:36,180 for this coming Monday July 26 beginning 17 00:00:41,660 --> 00:00:39,329 at 1045 p.m. central time it's planned 18 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:41,670 to be a six-hour spacewalk and during 19 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:43,290 which time the crew will replace a 20 00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:46,320 docking camera on the Zvezda module as 21 00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:49,559 well as route data cables to support 22 00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:52,320 activation of the new raspberry search 23 00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:54,660 module we can go to graphic one that 24 00:01:01,220 --> 00:00:58,530 shows the EV kru EV one is cosmonaut 25 00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:01,230 fyodor yurchikhin making his fourth 26 00:01:06,590 --> 00:01:04,110 spacewalk and EV two will be mikhail 27 00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:06,600 kornienko making his first spacewalk and 28 00:01:11,899 --> 00:01:09,119 both will have blue stripes on their 29 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:11,909 Orlan spacesuits now if we go too 30 00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:15,210 graphic to this shows a side view of the 31 00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,040 Russian segment of the space station 32 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,439 with labels for the modules that will be 33 00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:21,840 talking about today the spacewalk will 34 00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,790 originate from the piers docking 35 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:25,439 compartment airlock which is in the 36 00:01:32,270 --> 00:01:28,650 center portion of your screen that will 37 00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:32,280 require that will isolate the 20 tests 38 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:34,409 or used vehicle from the rest of the 39 00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:36,329 station due to the hatch configuration 40 00:01:40,609 --> 00:01:38,400 used with this airlock so that will 41 00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:40,619 require station commander alexander 42 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:42,840 skorts cough and flight engineer Tracy 43 00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:45,329 Caldwell Dyson to remain in the post 44 00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:47,670 research module for the duration of the 45 00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:50,430 EV a so that they have assured access to 46 00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:52,409 their Soyuz this is just a standard 47 00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:54,000 safety precaution that we take for Olly 48 00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:56,070 va's to assure that the crew has 49 00:02:00,620 --> 00:01:57,960 immediate access to their Soyuz vehicle 50 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:00,630 if required the remaining crew members 51 00:02:04,730 --> 00:02:02,729 astronauts Doug Wheelock and shannon 52 00:02:07,130 --> 00:02:04,740 walker will have free access to the 53 00:02:11,119 --> 00:02:07,140 entire u.s. segment as well as the zarya 54 00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,129 module and their soyuz 22 23 us vehicle 55 00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:13,840 which is located at the docking port of 56 00:02:20,009 --> 00:02:17,769 roseville now for more details on the 57 00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:20,019 overall EV a objectives we can go to 58 00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:23,590 slide 3 please first the crew is going 59 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:26,680 to replace a degraded video camera at 60 00:02:30,990 --> 00:02:29,290 the aft end of the des des module and 61 00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:31,000 replace it with a new one that was 62 00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:32,980 recently delivered to the station this 63 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:36,190 camera supports dockings of the European 64 00:02:42,539 --> 00:02:40,510 automated transfer vehicle or ATV the 65 00:02:44,729 --> 00:02:42,549 ATV is an unmanned spacecraft that 66 00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:44,739 brings supplies to the station and the 67 00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:46,420 video camera is used to monitor the 68 00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:48,670 approach as it comes in and docks with 69 00:02:53,490 --> 00:02:50,769 the on the at the end of the studs new 70 00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:53,500 module so the video camera currently on 71 00:02:58,619 --> 00:02:56,650 orbit has numerous bad pixels resulting 72 00:03:00,600 --> 00:02:58,629 in degraded picture quality so the new 73 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:00,610 camera is expected to restore the system 74 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:03,910 to its full functionality in time for 75 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:07,090 the next ATV mission which is a TV 2 is 76 00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:09,090 scheduled for December of this year 77 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,590 after a ground check out of the new 78 00:03:15,869 --> 00:03:13,840 camera the old camera will be jettisoned 79 00:03:18,150 --> 00:03:15,879 it will not be brought back inside the 80 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:18,160 station due to concerns that it's the 81 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:19,690 insulation around the camera has 82 00:03:24,210 --> 00:03:21,970 degraded in the space environment and 83 00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:24,220 could result in fiberglass particles 84 00:03:28,410 --> 00:03:26,590 being shed inside the station resulting 85 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,420 in a breathing heathered hazard for the 86 00:03:34,559 --> 00:03:30,400 crew so at the end of the EV a we will 87 00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:34,569 jettison the old atv video camera the 88 00:03:39,930 --> 00:03:37,329 other big objectives for the e VAR to to 89 00:03:42,509 --> 00:03:39,940 outfit the new res vet research module 90 00:03:44,370 --> 00:03:42,519 which was delivered to the station by 91 00:03:46,979 --> 00:03:44,380 the space shuttle Atlantis back in May 92 00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:46,989 of this year first a cable bundle will 93 00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:49,900 be run from these vezde and zaria 94 00:03:56,819 --> 00:03:54,310 modules to connect the Raspberry Russian 95 00:04:00,000 --> 00:03:56,829 commanded data handling computers then a 96 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:00,010 second set of cables will be run from 97 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:03,130 res vet to zaria to provide full 98 00:04:07,979 --> 00:04:05,169 functionality of the cores docking 99 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:07,989 system to allow automated vehicle 100 00:04:13,530 --> 00:04:11,049 dockings of progress and soyuz 101 00:04:17,219 --> 00:04:13,540 spacecraft to the docking port at the 102 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,229 bottom of the raspberry now we're going 103 00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:19,840 to go over the EV a timeline in greater 104 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:22,060 detail and for this will have an 105 00:04:26,719 --> 00:04:24,370 animation we can go ahead and roll the 106 00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:26,729 animation 107 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:29,590 the spacewalkers are going to emerge 108 00:04:34,290 --> 00:04:31,570 from the piers docking compartment 109 00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:34,300 airlock which is shown there on your 110 00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:36,820 screen and the lower portion they will 111 00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:39,340 bring with them to cable reels 112 00:04:43,710 --> 00:04:41,220 containing the commanded data handling 113 00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:43,720 cables as well as the cores cables 114 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:47,889 they'll also bring the new atv video 115 00:04:53,159 --> 00:04:50,289 camera with them they will proceed aft 116 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:53,169 along this vezde module towards the very 117 00:04:59,760 --> 00:04:57,490 back end of the station when they get 118 00:05:04,170 --> 00:04:59,770 there they'll translate along the ring 119 00:05:08,189 --> 00:05:04,180 handrails to the a TV camera work site 120 00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:08,199 which is adjacent to the 38 p progress 121 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:10,270 vehicle shown docked on the aft end of 122 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:13,360 the module so the blinking square that 123 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:15,910 you see there is the a TV camera they 124 00:05:20,159 --> 00:05:18,130 will use a ratchet wrench to remove the 125 00:05:23,070 --> 00:05:20,169 connector they'll take out the old 126 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:23,080 camera put the new camera in exactly the 127 00:05:27,930 --> 00:05:25,330 same location and made up the electrical 128 00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:27,940 connectors and then they'll take the old 129 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:30,190 camera and they'll translate back along 130 00:05:35,390 --> 00:05:33,250 as vezde to the to the airlock now while 131 00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:35,400 they're doing this ground controllers in 132 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:38,320 Moscow will be performing system checks 133 00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:40,330 of the new camera to make sure that it's 134 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:43,060 functional before we jettison the old 135 00:05:52,409 --> 00:05:50,530 camera so when the crew gets back to the 136 00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:52,419 piers docking compartment they will 137 00:05:57,950 --> 00:05:55,830 tether the old camera to an EV a ladder 138 00:06:00,779 --> 00:05:57,960 leaving it till the end of the EV a 139 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:00,789 they'll retrieve their cable bundle 140 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:04,090 reels and proceed up to the ball portion 141 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,210 of Zvezda or pakka oh and they will 142 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:09,520 begin mating for electrical connectors 143 00:06:18,749 --> 00:06:12,250 of the command and data handling set of 144 00:06:21,210 --> 00:06:18,759 cables and this will be about an hour 145 00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:21,220 and 45 minutes into the EDA when they 146 00:06:26,490 --> 00:06:24,430 get to this point so again they make the 147 00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:26,500 connections and then they will also 148 00:06:33,779 --> 00:06:30,310 secure the cables with wire ties along 149 00:06:38,209 --> 00:06:33,789 handrails and then they will proceed to 150 00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:38,219 the top side of the zarya module and 151 00:06:42,030 --> 00:06:40,390 make their way towards the 152 00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:42,040 side of that module towards the u.s. 153 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:44,470 segment stringing along the command and 154 00:06:50,070 --> 00:06:48,370 data handling cables as they go the 155 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:50,080 other crew member will also bring the 156 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:53,110 Coors cable reel with them which will be 157 00:07:00,720 --> 00:06:58,330 used a little bit later in the EV a so 158 00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:00,730 when they get to the front end of zaria 159 00:07:05,610 --> 00:07:02,550 they'll come down the ball or gah 160 00:07:07,770 --> 00:07:05,620 portion of ZAR you they will set up 161 00:07:13,650 --> 00:07:07,780 their work site what their cable reel 162 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:13,660 and they will stall ties for the to hold 163 00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:15,970 the cables in place and then make the 164 00:07:21,180 --> 00:07:18,940 electrical connectors on the ra's vet 165 00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:21,190 module which you see towards the lower 166 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:22,720 part of your screen that's the new 167 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:25,570 module so that will complete the command 168 00:07:30,630 --> 00:07:27,610 data handling portion of the cable 169 00:07:33,450 --> 00:07:30,640 routing the crew will also close the 170 00:07:36,510 --> 00:07:33,460 cover on the Raza docking camera and 171 00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:36,520 remove three bolts as a get ahead for a 172 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:39,400 future EV a task then the crew will come 173 00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:41,170 around to the port side of the station 174 00:07:48,630 --> 00:07:44,670 and they will proceed to make the coors 175 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:48,640 cable to connect the cores passive 176 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:51,370 antennas on Raz bet to the station 177 00:07:56,850 --> 00:07:54,490 computers again to support automated 178 00:08:01,770 --> 00:07:56,860 rendezvous and docking on the new 179 00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:01,780 docking port on Raz bet they'll make 180 00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:04,120 their way back along as our you bringing 181 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:06,780 with them the tomb empty cable reels and 182 00:08:11,580 --> 00:08:09,520 return to the airlock and this portion 183 00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:11,590 of the EBA is expected to take about 184 00:08:20,340 --> 00:08:17,740 three and a half hours total so once 185 00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:20,350 they're back at the airlock assuming 186 00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:21,910 that the check out of the new camera is 187 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:24,280 satisfactory the old camera will be 188 00:08:29,730 --> 00:08:27,910 untethered the crew will use the Strela 189 00:08:31,770 --> 00:08:29,740 crane foot restraint secure themselves 190 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:31,780 and then they will jettison the old 191 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:33,510 camera in a retrograde direction 192 00:08:38,670 --> 00:08:36,250 opposite of the direction of travel of 193 00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:38,680 the station and the expected release 194 00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:40,540 velocity is about half a meter per 195 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:43,000 second and with that the camera will 196 00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:44,890 phase out in front of the station and 197 00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:47,350 since it's drag deceleration is greater 198 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:50,080 than the overall station it will slowly 199 00:08:52,930 --> 00:08:52,330 lose altitude and continue phasing in 200 00:08:56,290 --> 00:08:52,940 front stage 201 00:08:58,270 --> 00:08:56,300 and after about 120 days it is expected 202 00:09:02,590 --> 00:08:58,280 to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and 203 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:02,600 burn up so after after jettison of the 204 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:04,250 camera the two space walkers will 205 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:06,290 ingress the airlock and begin 206 00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:08,210 repressurization then they'll open 207 00:09:13,930 --> 00:09:11,510 hatches doff their suits and begin the 208 00:09:16,540 --> 00:09:13,940 post evi activities and now just for a 209 00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:16,550 few general notes one new capability 210 00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:18,100 that we're going to use for this eve EA 211 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:20,480 for the first time is the Orleans 212 00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:22,610 spacesuit to limit or e measurement unit 213 00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:25,430 or TMU this will provide detailed suit 214 00:09:30,130 --> 00:09:27,830 to limit or e to ground specialists in 215 00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:30,140 Mission Control Moscow by way of the 216 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:33,470 u.s. us s band communication system on 217 00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:35,690 the station currently this type data is 218 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:37,550 only available for short periods once 219 00:09:42,130 --> 00:09:40,010 every orbit about 10 minutes 10 or 15 220 00:09:44,260 --> 00:09:42,140 minutes out of every 90 minutes so this 221 00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:44,270 is a significant safety enhancement to 222 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:46,340 provide greater visibility for ground 223 00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:48,170 controllers to monitor things such as 224 00:09:53,620 --> 00:09:52,160 suit pressure and oxygen remaining one 225 00:09:55,690 --> 00:09:53,630 other note this is a russian-led 226 00:09:57,310 --> 00:09:55,700 activity the spacewalk will be run by 227 00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:57,320 the Russian flight control team in 228 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:00,320 Moscow the US team in Houston here will 229 00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:02,090 will do several things to support the 230 00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:04,760 spacewalk we're going to park our solar 231 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:06,830 alpha rotary joints and our thermal 232 00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:09,890 radiator joints in order to allow us to 233 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:12,080 handover attitude control to the 234 00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:14,090 progress thrusters for the airlock 235 00:10:18,850 --> 00:10:17,060 depressurization and after depress is 236 00:10:21,790 --> 00:10:18,860 complete we will hand back attitude 237 00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:21,800 control to the US side in order to use 238 00:10:27,850 --> 00:10:25,520 the non propulsive control moment gyros 239 00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:27,860 so that we don't use a propellant to 240 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:30,590 maintain attitude during the EBA we're 241 00:10:34,660 --> 00:10:31,970 also going to power up an additional 242 00:10:36,940 --> 00:10:34,670 string of our s band radios on the 243 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:36,950 station in order to provide redundant 244 00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:39,970 voice and telemetry for flight control 245 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:43,310 and we'll be tracking the crew using us 246 00:10:47,079 --> 00:10:45,050 external video cameras mounted on the 247 00:10:49,510 --> 00:10:47,089 station trust however we expect to have 248 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:49,520 pretty much limited views of the state 249 00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:52,250 of the spacewalkers due to the fact that 250 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:53,390 they're going to be on the back side of 251 00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:55,370 the station and our cameras are towards 252 00:11:00,160 --> 00:10:57,710 the front side so limited views there 253 00:11:03,820 --> 00:11:00,170 and also the crew will not have helmet 254 00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:03,830 cam so for training the crew has been 255 00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:06,110 trained on the CVA prior to flight and 256 00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:06,710 the hydra lab 257 00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:09,920 facility at Star City in Russia this 258 00:11:12,730 --> 00:11:10,880 week they've been gathering the 259 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:12,740 necessary tools and equipment for the 260 00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:15,170 for the EBA and reviewing procedures for 261 00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:16,520 the tasks that they're going to perform 262 00:11:21,010 --> 00:11:19,340 as well as their suit procedures and 263 00:11:23,410 --> 00:11:21,020 today they're setting up and sizing the 264 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:23,420 suits tomorrow they will be performing a 265 00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:26,330 telemetry test of the new TMU and then 266 00:11:30,910 --> 00:11:28,670 Friday there will be a suited dry run to 267 00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:30,920 go through all the procedures all the 268 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:32,990 way from depress the airlock through 269 00:11:39,550 --> 00:11:35,570 through the e VA itself and then back to 270 00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:39,560 regress suited dry run Friday Saturday 271 00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:42,560 and Sunday our crew days off and then 272 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:44,630 Monday they'll be well-rested and 273 00:11:49,180 --> 00:11:46,970 they'll actually have a 12-hour sleep 274 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:49,190 chef waking up about 2 p.m. central time 275 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:52,490 to begin the EV a prep operations and 276 00:11:58,330 --> 00:11:54,650 that concludes the formal part of the 277 00:12:00,250 --> 00:11:58,340 brief okay we'll hear next from Kirk 278 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:00,260 Charmin deputy program manager all right 279 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:01,850 thanks good afternoon it's great to be 280 00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:02,930 here to talk to you about the 281 00:12:06,610 --> 00:12:05,120 International Space Station Chris did an 282 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:06,620 outstanding job telling you about the 283 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:08,690 the upcoming Russian dva so I'll tell 284 00:12:12,370 --> 00:12:10,010 you about a couple other things that are 285 00:12:15,460 --> 00:12:12,380 going on the ISS that have either 286 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:15,470 occurred or are going to occur in the 287 00:12:22,540 --> 00:12:19,010 near future first we have the Russian 288 00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:22,550 TVA on the 26th going outside about 10 289 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:25,910 45 p.m. local and we have the you se va 290 00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:28,370 coming up on august eight and we'll go 291 00:12:32,260 --> 00:12:30,800 outside about six a.m. local so and I 292 00:12:34,180 --> 00:12:32,270 know we'll have another briefing here I 293 00:12:36,610 --> 00:12:34,190 believe on august 3rd to talk to you 294 00:12:38,950 --> 00:12:36,620 more about the details there so as you 295 00:12:41,230 --> 00:12:38,960 know there's lots of activities it's not 296 00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:41,240 just the spacewalk itself that the hours 297 00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:42,470 that were outside there's actually a 298 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:43,760 significant amount of preparation 299 00:12:49,210 --> 00:12:46,970 activity going on board on the Russian 300 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:49,220 side and the US side in preparation for 301 00:12:53,380 --> 00:12:50,690 these evs and we'll talk to you more 302 00:12:55,060 --> 00:12:53,390 about that on the ground we have some 303 00:12:57,310 --> 00:12:55,070 significant activities going on as well 304 00:13:01,120 --> 00:12:57,320 in Florida we have the permanent 305 00:13:03,310 --> 00:13:01,130 multi-purpose module or pmm and that 306 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:03,320 module is undergoing it's actually being 307 00:13:07,180 --> 00:13:04,730 loaded as we speak we're installing 308 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:07,190 racks and cargo on the inside of that 309 00:13:13,090 --> 00:13:11,290 module as well as installing improved 310 00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:13,100 micrometeorite and orbital debris 311 00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:14,720 shields on the outside and that 312 00:13:19,850 --> 00:13:16,880 activities going very well and on 313 00:13:21,829 --> 00:13:19,860 schedule to support the launch this fall 314 00:13:24,889 --> 00:13:21,839 also on that flight we have an external 315 00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:24,899 logistics carrier and that external 316 00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:26,160 logistics carrier is going to have a 317 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:28,350 large radiator or you in fact this 318 00:13:34,699 --> 00:13:31,769 radiator basically takes one side of the 319 00:13:36,620 --> 00:13:34,709 of the ELC and that's actually being 320 00:13:39,259 --> 00:13:36,630 installed this week so it's a major 321 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:39,269 activity for for the preparation of that 322 00:13:46,009 --> 00:13:44,250 flight which is UL a5 sts-133 in 323 00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:46,019 addition going on in Florida right now 324 00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:47,550 as we're also preparing the other 325 00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:49,769 external logistics carrier that we have 326 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:51,800 that's going to fly up on you LF six or 327 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,290 sts-134 we're preparing the the spares 328 00:14:00,500 --> 00:13:56,880 that are going to fly on that on that 329 00:14:03,230 --> 00:14:00,510 module as well the Alpha Magnetic 330 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:03,240 Spectrometer as you guys know it says 331 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:06,000 undergoing its final reassembly and 332 00:14:12,050 --> 00:14:09,360 tests over in Switzerland as we speak 333 00:14:16,430 --> 00:14:12,060 and it'll be arriving later this summer 334 00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:16,440 in in Florida on board the crew in 335 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:19,110 addition to preparing for these EVs and 336 00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:21,450 doing some maintenance work they're also 337 00:14:25,850 --> 00:14:23,220 performing research we've been 338 00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:25,860 performing a expert called say more 339 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:28,110 smoke and aerosol monitoring experiment 340 00:14:33,590 --> 00:14:29,850 which is looking at the performance of 341 00:14:35,630 --> 00:14:33,600 small particles and aerosols to lead 342 00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:35,640 towards better improved smoke detectors 343 00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:37,019 for space applications and also 344 00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:39,390 terrestrial applications we've been 345 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:41,279 doing some capillary flow experiments 346 00:14:47,389 --> 00:14:43,410 which look at the capillary flow or flow 347 00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:47,399 of liquids in n0g this will help improve 348 00:14:51,199 --> 00:14:49,140 our theoretical understanding of 349 00:14:54,199 --> 00:14:51,209 capillary flow which we believe will 350 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:54,209 lead to more improved designs for tanks 351 00:15:00,050 --> 00:14:57,600 for space applications again tanks to 352 00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:00,060 allow us to fly and restart engines in 353 00:15:06,259 --> 00:15:02,940 space which will need to to go beyond 354 00:15:07,699 --> 00:15:06,269 the low Earth orbit also one of the neat 355 00:15:09,439 --> 00:15:07,709 experiments we've been doing its really 356 00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:09,449 an educational experiment is called kids 357 00:15:15,650 --> 00:15:14,310 in microg we've been having the the crew 358 00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:15,660 perform experiments that were actually 359 00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:17,430 designed by fifth through eighth grade 360 00:15:21,410 --> 00:15:19,769 students the students came up with ideas 361 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:21,420 of experience that could be formed with 362 00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,930 classroom type activities a classroom 363 00:15:29,180 --> 00:15:26,880 type objects and they perform the 364 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:29,190 experiment the design experiment in 365 00:15:33,020 --> 00:15:31,050 their classroom and then the crew is 366 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:33,030 performing these experiments on or 367 00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:35,370 but and filming it and sharing it with 368 00:15:40,220 --> 00:15:37,230 these kits so it's that's a really neat 369 00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:40,230 activity to engage our children and 370 00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:42,540 encourage them to to take careers in 371 00:15:46,610 --> 00:15:45,390 math and sciences and the last thing 372 00:15:49,010 --> 00:15:46,620 I'll mention of course is what we're 373 00:15:53,390 --> 00:15:49,020 looking forward to our our Commercial 374 00:15:54,950 --> 00:15:53,400 Crew partners the Dragons basics dragon 375 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:54,960 is going to have its first demonstration 376 00:15:57,530 --> 00:15:56,130 flight later the summer and we're 377 00:15:59,720 --> 00:15:57,540 looking forward to that and that flights 378 00:16:01,790 --> 00:15:59,730 not going to ISS but it's an important 379 00:16:04,010 --> 00:16:01,800 precursor leading up to the first 380 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:04,020 commercial resupply flight which is 381 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:06,330 going to be to ISS which will be next 382 00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:08,370 year so with that I'll hand it back to 383 00:16:15,650 --> 00:16:11,700 Brandi okay and we'll start by taking 384 00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:15,660 some questions here in the room Gina 385 00:16:20,570 --> 00:16:18,270 sensory for Chris Oh ABC News sorry I 386 00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:20,580 know you don't lightly toss something 387 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:23,760 overboard like this camera so what went 388 00:16:27,290 --> 00:16:25,650 to the decision to jettison the camera 389 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:27,300 and what kind of risk it orbital debris 390 00:16:34,070 --> 00:16:30,240 risk it would provide well there is a 391 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:34,080 formal process to jettison objects it 392 00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:35,970 basically it comes down to a risk trade 393 00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:38,160 between bringing it back inside versus 394 00:16:42,290 --> 00:16:40,260 throwing it overboard and in order to 395 00:16:43,790 --> 00:16:42,300 normally to jettison something we have 396 00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:43,800 to show that bringing it back inside is 397 00:16:49,190 --> 00:16:46,950 either risky to the crew or it causes 398 00:16:51,650 --> 00:16:49,200 problems in terms of internal stowage on 399 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:51,660 the station or we can't figure out a way 400 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:53,850 to get rid of it on a progress vehicle s 401 00:16:57,980 --> 00:16:56,010 trash so in this case what the a TV 402 00:17:00,560 --> 00:16:57,990 camera it does present a hazard to the 403 00:17:02,390 --> 00:17:00,570 crew due to the insulation surrounding 404 00:17:04,310 --> 00:17:02,400 the camera the concern is that that 405 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:04,320 insulation could flake loose inside the 406 00:17:08,990 --> 00:17:07,050 cabin resulting in fibers that the crew 407 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:09,000 could breathe in so when that once that 408 00:17:12,770 --> 00:17:11,130 determination was made than it was clear 409 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:12,780 that jettisoning was the right thing to 410 00:17:18,590 --> 00:17:15,570 do then we proceeded to do ballistics 411 00:17:21,410 --> 00:17:18,600 analysis our trajectory operations team 412 00:17:23,090 --> 00:17:21,420 here in Houston analyzed the physical 413 00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:23,100 properties of the object in order to 414 00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:25,710 predict the relative motion the orbital 415 00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:28,590 mechanics of the object as its discarded 416 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:30,360 from the station we also assure that the 417 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:31,890 crews thoroughly trained and the proper 418 00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:33,570 techniques you want to be very 419 00:17:36,830 --> 00:17:35,340 deliberate and careful and know which 420 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:36,840 way you're tossing something overboard 421 00:17:41,250 --> 00:17:39,330 so all that was part of the planning for 422 00:17:42,690 --> 00:17:41,260 the jettison of this object 423 00:17:45,180 --> 00:17:42,700 a little bit though we do have an 424 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:45,190 official ISS policy on jettison 425 00:17:50,190 --> 00:17:48,970 activities and and and this which is we 426 00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:50,200 look at it well beforehand to do the 427 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:52,540 ballistics and then and do this overall 428 00:17:56,010 --> 00:17:54,010 risk trade that Chris mentioned and then 429 00:17:57,390 --> 00:17:56,020 the last piece of the risk that it's not 430 00:18:00,060 --> 00:17:57,400 really an issue here but in general we 431 00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:00,070 look at is we actually based on the 432 00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:02,320 materials properties look at the risk to 433 00:18:07,290 --> 00:18:04,240 some to the population on the earth so 434 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:07,300 if a particular object were too if we 435 00:18:10,170 --> 00:18:08,650 look to see if it would survive all the 436 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:10,180 way to the surface of the earth and if 437 00:18:16,290 --> 00:18:12,970 so what would be the risk of causing 438 00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:16,300 damage to two people to property or 439 00:18:21,180 --> 00:18:19,510 injury to people on earth how large is 440 00:18:24,570 --> 00:18:21,190 this camera can give me the specs on it 441 00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:24,580 I don't have the specs with me now but I 442 00:18:30,270 --> 00:18:25,960 can get that to you it's you know it's 443 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:30,280 approximately this size redbox sighs of 444 00:18:37,670 --> 00:18:35,890 course thank you Mark Caro for aviation 445 00:18:40,050 --> 00:18:37,680 week I had a couple of questions I 446 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:40,060 wonder you know and a big-picture sense 447 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:44,050 this gives you four Russian docking 448 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:46,450 docking ports I'm wondering how 449 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:49,440 important that is to the space station 450 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:52,810 going forward especially when the 451 00:18:59,280 --> 00:18:56,050 shuttle won't be available and will this 452 00:19:03,690 --> 00:18:59,290 port also take the ATV once it's fully 453 00:19:06,180 --> 00:19:03,700 outfitted so for docking ports are 454 00:19:08,550 --> 00:19:06,190 really important to us several years ago 455 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:08,560 we we worked as a partnership and agreed 456 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:10,210 that we needed to have for docking ports 457 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:12,010 in particular for this time frame 458 00:19:17,550 --> 00:19:13,810 because we have to have to SOI uses 459 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:17,560 present and in order to allow progress 460 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:20,890 is to come or an ATV to come and have 461 00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:22,480 some redundancy we really needed to have 462 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:24,160 for docking ports so it was really 463 00:19:28,410 --> 00:19:26,050 important for from that perspective 464 00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:28,420 right now the ATV really can only come 465 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:30,310 to the aft into the service module and 466 00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:33,250 Andrew that's our plan the ATV carries 467 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:35,560 significant amount of propellant only a 468 00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:37,360 portion of it is transferable to the 469 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:39,910 service module tanks and the FGB tanks 470 00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:42,130 the remainder needs to be used for 471 00:19:46,050 --> 00:19:44,260 reboost in order to use it for reboost 472 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:46,060 to the entire stack it needs to be on 473 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:48,610 the on the aft end so that's our plan is 474 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:50,410 for ATVs to continue to fly just to the 475 00:19:54,210 --> 00:19:52,690 aft end and as you know we have 476 00:19:55,650 --> 00:19:54,220 camera that Christmas time at the only 477 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:55,660 place with that camera is on that 478 00:20:00,930 --> 00:19:58,570 service module aft end thank you very 479 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:00,940 much and I had another question that had 480 00:20:07,050 --> 00:20:04,210 to do with the last docking activity 481 00:20:09,990 --> 00:20:07,060 with the progress did you forget nailed 482 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:10,000 down sort of what happened there and and 483 00:20:16,290 --> 00:20:11,770 whether it was the kind of a one-time 484 00:20:20,190 --> 00:20:16,300 issue as opposed to something that would 485 00:20:22,890 --> 00:20:20,200 be a problem again yeah so far the 486 00:20:25,950 --> 00:20:22,900 investigation is not complete what we 487 00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:25,960 believe the Russians have done the 488 00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:27,400 preliminary investigation and shared the 489 00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:29,920 results that the abort was nominal in 490 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:33,670 other words the the the spacecraft lost 491 00:20:40,020 --> 00:20:37,210 link not complete link would link with 492 00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:40,030 this tell robotic operated panel they 493 00:20:43,860 --> 00:20:42,310 had turned it on it came on and then it 494 00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:43,870 lost link for that for a specified 495 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:46,120 period of time if it hasn't regained 496 00:20:50,730 --> 00:20:48,250 link in that period of time it performs 497 00:20:52,410 --> 00:20:50,740 actually goes to free drift which means 498 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:52,420 it turns everything off and just 499 00:20:57,540 --> 00:20:54,850 basically glides past ISS and that's 500 00:20:59,160 --> 00:20:57,550 exactly what happened so that part of it 501 00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:59,170 performed nominally the question is why 502 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:01,120 did the why did it loose link we've 503 00:21:06,810 --> 00:21:03,970 actually performed to test subsequent to 504 00:21:10,050 --> 00:21:06,820 that on the on that system the teller 505 00:21:12,450 --> 00:21:10,060 robotic operator system and and it's 506 00:21:13,980 --> 00:21:12,460 performed nominally so we don't know the 507 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:13,990 root cause of that and that's still 508 00:21:18,210 --> 00:21:16,090 under investigation and we expect to 509 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:18,220 hear hear more from our partners as they 510 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:23,770 learn more hi Robert Pearlman with 511 00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:25,840 collectspace.com first for the question 512 00:21:30,030 --> 00:21:27,430 about the space walk between the camera 513 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:30,040 activity and the cabling is there one 514 00:21:32,850 --> 00:21:31,690 that takes precedence over the other if 515 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:32,860 they were to run into trouble with one 516 00:21:38,010 --> 00:21:35,170 activity or the other that it has to be 517 00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:38,020 done on this space walk given activities 518 00:21:42,570 --> 00:21:40,780 down down the pike let's say the 519 00:21:46,530 --> 00:21:42,580 Russians do have another spacewalk 520 00:21:49,110 --> 00:21:46,540 planned in November therefore they will 521 00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:49,120 have another chance at at doing the 522 00:21:53,490 --> 00:21:50,920 camera task if it comes to that because 523 00:21:56,340 --> 00:21:53,500 a TV is not launching until December so 524 00:21:58,410 --> 00:21:56,350 there's I presume they will not spend an 525 00:21:59,790 --> 00:21:58,420 inordinate amount of time on the camera 526 00:22:02,790 --> 00:21:59,800 test that they will preserve enough time 527 00:22:04,850 --> 00:22:02,800 to do the cable routings if they run 528 00:22:07,610 --> 00:22:04,860 into trouble on the camera 529 00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:07,620 and with regards to the activities that 530 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:09,470 have been going on this week with Dexter 531 00:22:14,390 --> 00:22:12,720 can you just provide an update on where 532 00:22:16,250 --> 00:22:14,400 they are I think I heard earlier today 533 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:16,260 that there was that they had run into a 534 00:22:20,419 --> 00:22:18,210 little bit of trouble with it and wanted 535 00:22:23,330 --> 00:22:20,429 to see what the what the plan forward 536 00:22:26,450 --> 00:22:23,340 was sure Dexter's of course a very very 537 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:26,460 complicated robot it's using its many 538 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:28,410 joints but it's also using the SS rms 539 00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:31,110 and a lot of software on board and 540 00:22:35,780 --> 00:22:33,120 actually on the ground right now our 541 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:35,790 plan is to use Dexter completely via 542 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:37,410 ground control so the on-orbit crew 543 00:22:41,330 --> 00:22:39,450 really isn't involved in that operation 544 00:22:42,890 --> 00:22:41,340 so since it's been on orbit we've gone 545 00:22:45,650 --> 00:22:42,900 through a whole series of checkouts and 546 00:22:48,530 --> 00:22:45,660 we were leading up to this week to 547 00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:48,540 actually perform a replacement we have 548 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:51,600 to basically power switch modules we 549 00:22:57,890 --> 00:22:53,730 call RPC and remote power control 550 00:23:00,470 --> 00:22:57,900 modules but basically banks of switches 551 00:23:01,940 --> 00:23:00,480 for the power of various components they 552 00:23:03,710 --> 00:23:01,950 each have a failed switch in these 553 00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:03,720 modules we were just going to swap them 554 00:23:07,850 --> 00:23:05,460 because if you swap them the failed 555 00:23:09,919 --> 00:23:07,860 switch goes to nothing if you get them 556 00:23:13,490 --> 00:23:09,929 lined up right so this would be actually 557 00:23:14,690 --> 00:23:13,500 be the first official repair that we've 558 00:23:17,049 --> 00:23:14,700 been performed but we'll have been 559 00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:17,059 performed by the by Dexter the spdm 560 00:23:21,980 --> 00:23:19,710 leading up to that we to yesterday and 561 00:23:24,650 --> 00:23:21,990 today we had planned some final 562 00:23:26,659 --> 00:23:24,660 activities one of them was to grab one 563 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:26,669 of the art PCMs and actually pull it out 564 00:23:31,850 --> 00:23:29,850 and then put it right back in in the in 565 00:23:34,669 --> 00:23:31,860 performing that activity when we started 566 00:23:36,470 --> 00:23:34,679 to pull it out we were building up 567 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:36,480 excessive forces and it doesn't mean 568 00:23:40,190 --> 00:23:38,250 that that we're damaging anything it 569 00:23:42,049 --> 00:23:40,200 actually has force sensors in there and 570 00:23:43,970 --> 00:23:42,059 we knew what we should expect in terms 571 00:23:46,490 --> 00:23:43,980 of force measurements and they were 572 00:23:48,740 --> 00:23:46,500 higher than than we expected and so we 573 00:23:51,409 --> 00:23:48,750 stood down we stopped and reinstalled it 574 00:23:54,740 --> 00:23:51,419 and left it at that so right now the 575 00:23:56,539 --> 00:23:54,750 team is is going back and spending some 576 00:23:57,799 --> 00:23:56,549 time to understand exactly why that is 577 00:23:59,659 --> 00:23:57,809 there are a number of reasons why that 578 00:24:02,510 --> 00:23:59,669 might be it might be something as simple 579 00:24:04,010 --> 00:24:02,520 as we were off a little bit on our turn 580 00:24:06,049 --> 00:24:04,020 counts of the bolts so we still had a 581 00:24:07,610 --> 00:24:06,059 thread or so engaged on the bolt could 582 00:24:10,010 --> 00:24:07,620 be that it was slightly misaligned it 583 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:10,020 fits down in a in a channel and so if 584 00:24:14,540 --> 00:24:11,490 you're not exactly aligned when you pull 585 00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:14,550 something out it has forces when you do 586 00:24:18,110 --> 00:24:15,780 it with your hand it's real easy you 587 00:24:18,620 --> 00:24:18,120 just you just not nominally readjust and 588 00:24:20,690 --> 00:24:18,630 pull out 589 00:24:23,030 --> 00:24:20,700 but a robot doesn't do that it's a 590 00:24:25,970 --> 00:24:23,040 little more complicated so all these 591 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:25,980 things are learning experiences we did 592 00:24:29,810 --> 00:24:27,450 expect to learn some things in this 593 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:29,820 process and so there's nothing nothing 594 00:24:33,590 --> 00:24:32,010 major we believe is wrong at this point 595 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:33,600 in time because we have some other 596 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:35,490 activities going on of course 597 00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:37,050 preparation for the Russian dva and we 598 00:24:39,890 --> 00:24:38,550 saw we've also been spending a lot of 599 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:39,900 time working on our oxygen generation 600 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:42,330 system on the US side we've chosen to 601 00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:44,610 stand down for a few days as we speak 602 00:24:48,110 --> 00:24:46,350 here there's a team of engineers over in 603 00:24:50,450 --> 00:24:48,120 in the Mission Control Center team 604 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:50,460 talking through what we think might be 605 00:24:55,130 --> 00:24:52,050 the issues and how we might go back and 606 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:55,140 nail that down and we'll decide whether 607 00:24:59,540 --> 00:24:57,210 it be later this week or sometime later 608 00:25:02,240 --> 00:24:59,550 beyond that when it makes most sense to 609 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:02,250 go and reinitiate that activity but we 610 00:25:06,830 --> 00:25:04,770 again this is all really a learning 611 00:25:08,780 --> 00:25:06,840 activity and and this is our future we 612 00:25:09,980 --> 00:25:08,790 expect it will get past this and in the 613 00:25:11,630 --> 00:25:09,990 future that's how we'll do a lot of 614 00:25:15,860 --> 00:25:11,640 maintenance activities outside us with 615 00:25:17,450 --> 00:25:15,870 with Dexter thank you okay I believe 616 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:17,460 that is the last of our questions and we 617 00:25:20,630 --> 00:25:18,810 don't have any more questions at other 618 00:25:24,020 --> 00:25:20,640 NASA centers sorry we have one more 619 00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:24,030 follow-up Gina sincere ABC News for Kirk 620 00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:27,870 given.if another shuttle flight is 621 00:25:31,580 --> 00:25:29,820 landing what would be is going to take 622 00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:31,590 off if they do add another shuttle 623 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:34,080 flight okay what would you what would 624 00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:37,050 your dream be to stuff on that flight to 625 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:39,120 take up to the space station I mean 626 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:40,890 you're welcome any opportunity to bring 627 00:25:46,790 --> 00:25:44,130 other supplies up by take it sure we're 628 00:25:48,260 --> 00:25:46,800 looking at we're looking at what cargo 629 00:25:50,780 --> 00:25:48,270 today we're looking at what cargo we 630 00:25:53,650 --> 00:25:50,790 would fly on that flight and so it 631 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:53,660 really depends on what's happening with 632 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:55,890 what's happening with a TV what's 633 00:26:00,320 --> 00:25:58,050 happening with HTV and what's happening 634 00:26:02,330 --> 00:26:00,330 with SpaceX and orbital and when those 635 00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:02,340 vehicles the ones later on in two 636 00:26:05,270 --> 00:26:03,780 thousand eleven and two thousand twelve 637 00:26:07,340 --> 00:26:05,280 are going to show up and that'll really 638 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:07,350 drive what cargo we'd put on there for 639 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:09,330 instance we do an assessment if we think 640 00:26:13,190 --> 00:26:11,250 those flights are going to slip we would 641 00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:13,200 look to make sure the number one that 642 00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:15,120 we're keeping the crew healthy so we 643 00:26:20,140 --> 00:26:18,870 have sufficient supplies of you know 644 00:26:23,050 --> 00:26:20,150 water and 645 00:26:25,420 --> 00:26:23,060 and but basic human needs those kinds of 646 00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:25,430 things we're looking we're looking to 647 00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:27,350 launch significant amount of payloads so 648 00:26:31,540 --> 00:26:29,600 both up and down one of the beauties of 649 00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:31,550 having an extra flight is we will have a 650 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:33,230 significant down mass to bring home 651 00:26:37,020 --> 00:26:35,570 cargo not only cargo of items that are 652 00:26:40,150 --> 00:26:37,030 broken that we could repair but also 653 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:40,160 payloads it samples and and so forth it 654 00:26:42,670 --> 00:26:41,330 will be able to bring down at that time 655 00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:42,680 frame instead of waiting for the first 656 00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:45,800 dragon return those are the kinds of 657 00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:47,510 things and then finally any spares in 658 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:49,310 additional spares that we have to launch 659 00:26:55,390 --> 00:26:51,050 we're still manufacturing spares till 660 00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:55,400 take us through 2015 and beyond and so 661 00:26:57,490 --> 00:26:56,510 we'll have some additional ones that 662 00:26:59,830 --> 00:26:57,500 will have come off the assembly line 663 00:27:01,540 --> 00:26:59,840 that we would look to launch so it's 664 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:01,550 hard to say exactly what specific 665 00:27:04,930 --> 00:27:03,170 equipment would launch but our 666 00:27:06,850 --> 00:27:04,940 philosophy again would be looking at 667 00:27:08,830 --> 00:27:06,860 when we think those other resupply 668 00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:08,840 flights will be and then making sure 669 00:27:13,060 --> 00:27:10,370 that we we meet our priorities number 670 00:27:15,790 --> 00:27:13,070 one keep the crew healthy number to make 671 00:27:17,770 --> 00:27:15,800 sure we have great research to go do 672 00:27:21,460 --> 00:27:17,780 both up and bringing samples down and 673 00:27:27,370 --> 00:27:21,470 then three spares to keep ISS up there 674 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:27,380 for the long term morrow for aviation we 675 00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:29,930 could you kind of review where the Soyuz 676 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:32,960 spacecraft or I no one is at Ross spot 677 00:27:40,270 --> 00:27:35,570 or the mrm not sure where the other one 678 00:27:45,340 --> 00:27:40,280 is docked right now let's see today we 679 00:27:52,030 --> 00:27:45,350 have one on on mrm one and the other is 680 00:27:58,750 --> 00:27:52,040 on mrm too so what else what else did 681 00:28:02,800 --> 00:27:58,760 and and p a p us yes i'm still trying to 682 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:02,810 remember those names and in fact the 683 00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:05,570 earlier there's a question about which 684 00:28:11,710 --> 00:28:08,660 is more important the next one to go to 685 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:11,720 us yet is is actually in december as 686 00:28:17,020 --> 00:28:14,000 well so we expect both those activities 687 00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:17,030 having the camera and those cables are 688 00:28:21,970 --> 00:28:19,400 important because both those active the 689 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:21,980 next use of both both the service module 690 00:28:31,540 --> 00:28:27,170 afghan and and the mrm Nader is is in 691 00:28:35,570 --> 00:28:34,190 okay I think that was the last of the 692 00:28:38,660 --> 00:28:35,580 question so we'll wrap up today's 693 00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:38,670 briefing again Monday's spacewalk has 694 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:41,580 got set to begin at 1045 p.m. central 695 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:43,290 time that's when flight engineers Fyodor 696 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:45,810 yurchikhin and Mikhail Kornienko will be 697 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:47,850 heading out the door coverage of the 698 00:28:50,930 --> 00:28:49,890 spacewalk will begin at 10pm central as 699 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:50,940 they begin to get ready for the 700 00:28:56,090 --> 00:28:53,730 spacewalk and then we'll also be back 701 00:28:58,550 --> 00:28:56,100 here on august 3rd for a briefing to 702 00:29:00,080 --> 00:28:58,560 tell you about the next space walk by us 703 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:00,090 flight engineers Tracy Caldwell Dyson 704 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:03,090 and doug wheelock that briefing again 705 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:05,010 will be on august 3rd and the spacewalk 706 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:06,690 itself will take place on August fifth 707 00:29:11,810 --> 00:29:09,690 in the meantime you can come back in at 708 00:29:14,390 --> 00:29:11,820 ten a.m. central time tomorrow for the 709 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:14,400 daily ISS update and always as usual
