1 00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:10,629 this week at nasa 2 00:00:13,350 --> 00:00:11,840 i think what a lot of us are wondering 3 00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,360 about is making sure that everything's 4 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:15,200 up and running again shannon and doug 5 00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,680 removed the last jumpers today and put 6 00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:19,680 the racks back and so it's all and 7 00:00:23,830 --> 00:00:21,600 span and it's 8 00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:23,840 back to business as usual it seems the 9 00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:25,760 international space station's cooling 10 00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:28,480 system was reactivated and finally back 11 00:00:32,709 --> 00:00:30,640 in normal operation the pump is looking 12 00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,719 good oh sweet 13 00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:34,480 we got our station back 14 00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:36,880 three space walks by expedition 24 15 00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:38,800 flight engineers doug wheelhock and 16 00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:41,280 tracy caldwell dyson were needed to 17 00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:44,559 remove and replace a failed ammonia pump 18 00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:46,399 that had disabled one of the station's 19 00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:52,229 okay 20 00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:55,039 oh there you can see uh yep i see the 21 00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,480 final eva a seven-hour 20-minute outing 22 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:00,800 completed the complex task 23 00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:02,800 flight controllers at the johnson space 24 00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:05,360 center then spent the next three days 25 00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:08,080 reconnecting various onboard units from 26 00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,479 their system-saving workarounds to the 27 00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,799 newly restored cooling loop the whole 28 00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,720 team is in a great mood and everybody is 29 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,320 looking forward to some well-deserved 30 00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,560 rest
