00:00:05,910 --> 00:00:04,150
expedition 25 commander doug wheelock

2
00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:05,920
gave a tour of the russian segment of

3
00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:08,639
the orbiting complex including the soyuz

4
00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,200
spacecraft docked there wheelock showed

5
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:13,599
off the station's ham radio using the

6
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:14,920
callsign

7
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:18,000
na1ss to talk with people on the ground

8
00:00:23,509 --> 00:00:21,279
as the station flies overhead at 17

9
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:23,519
500 miles per hour

10
00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:25,680
wheelock and flight engineers shannon

11
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:28,000
walker and fyodor yuchikan all will

12
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:30,320
return home to earth this thursday

13
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:33,440
november 25th welcome aboard

14
00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:34,880
it's a pleasure to have you aboard today

15
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:36,320
and i wanted to show you a little bit

16
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:39,120
about our ham radio operations on board

17
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:41,040
last several months and weeks i've

18
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:44,160
really enjoyed using the ham radio and

19
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:46,239
talking to hem radio operators all over

20
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:47,440
the world

21
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:49,840
the most of our contacts are

22
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,079
normally i find over north america

23
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:54,399
mexico then into central america and

24
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:55,760
even in the caribbean

25
00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:58,160
i've had a few contacts through south

26
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:01,039
america and also in africa and again

27
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:03,120
over europe we have several contacts

28
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:05,119
that we've made over europe and then

29
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:07,280
also in australia and japan

30
00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,479
and tonight

31
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:10,240
you're in for a real treat

32
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:12,080
we're getting ready to have a pass over

33
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:13,840
north america this this past we'll

34
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,720
actually be entering uh u.s airspace

35
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:19,600
right around the mid coast of uh of

36
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:21,840
oregon the state of oregon uh just a

37
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,920
little south of portland and we'll be

38
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:25,759
flying over the central part of the u.s

39
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,640
and sort of exiting u.s

40
00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:30,560
airspace if you will

41
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:33,200
right around brownsville texas and going

42
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:35,680
into mexico over the yucatan

43
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:37,600
peninsula so we'll get some contacts

44
00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:40,479
i've had several contacts in the in cuba

45
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:41,759
and that's been a lot of fun got a lot

46
00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:43,360
of great friends there

47
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,200
and uh and we'll go down over south

48
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:47,280
america and you'll see how the um how

49
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,240
the contacts taper out as we enter

50
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:53,040
into the south american airspace

51
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,759
and

52
00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:54,960
i just wanted to share this with you

53
00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:57,759
because it's been a lot of fun we

54
00:02:01,749 --> 00:02:00,000
get a chance to look out the window

55
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:01,759
quite often and we try to do that each

56
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:03,200
day and

57
00:02:07,749 --> 00:02:04,880
but using the ham radio it's a little

58
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:07,759
more sparse the times i get to do that

59
00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:10,640
because you have to be kind of time the

60
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,720
your your pass over the area where you

61
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:14,400
want to make the contacts

62
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:15,520
and

63
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:19,280
to do when we got a lot of work going on

64
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:21,680
down here in the u.s segment and the ham

65
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,599
radio is located in the russian service

66
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:25,680
module which is the f part of the space

67
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:26,720
station

68
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:29,360
and um so lining that up with with some

69
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:32,080
free time and some time when people

70
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:33,920
were calling would be awake as well

71
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:35,760
since we operate off a greenwich

72
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:37,760
meantime i have to

73
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:39,519
remember that we're

74
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:42,720
six seven eight ten hours nine ten hours

75
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:43,760
ahead of

76
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:45,599
of times in the u.s and so to make

77
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:48,640
contacts there usually it falls out it's

78
00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:51,200
during my evening time either during

79
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:52,959
pre-sleep or even into sleep time don't

80
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,760
tell

81
00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,680
our flight directors but

82
00:03:01,350 --> 00:02:57,840
it's been a lot of fun and it's a it's a

83
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:01,360
sunday evening and it's getting

84
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:03,200
on into the afternoon in the states and

85
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:04,800
so we should have a lot of contacts

86
00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:07,760
today on a weekend and so i want you to

87
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:10,239
uh to enjoy this now there are some

88
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:12,159
challenges to

89
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,879
using the ham radio on board and

90
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,560
i think it gets frustrating for the

91
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,720
ground for the folks on the ground as

92
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:20,879
well because they're making a very what

93
00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:23,040
they feel is a very clear transmission

94
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:25,920
uh to the space station and uh then

95
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,080
sometimes i don't hear the entire call

96
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:30,319
sign don't hear the entire transmission

97
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,040
and so it's difficult for me to um

98
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,120
to give them a call back and i know

99
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,120
that's hard to understand but i'll i

100
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,200
want you to experience this to see

101
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:41,440
because when we enter u.s airspace i'll

102
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:43,680
just leave them i'll just leave the mic

103
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:45,840
off on the ham radio and i want you to

104
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,480
listen they'll start calling the station

105
00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:50,640
before we even get to the coastline

106
00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:51,519
and

107
00:03:55,589 --> 00:03:53,519
usually on the west coast those early

108
00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,599
callers that we get i'll get a clear

109
00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,360
signal and we'll get the entire call

110
00:04:02,309 --> 00:03:59,599
sign and then you'll hear the barrage of

111
00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:02,319
uh of call signs it's sort of it's sort

112
00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:04,959
of like a an alphabet soup you hear you

113
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:07,200
hear letters and numbers coming up and

114
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:08,959
different voices from different states

115
00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:10,400
and different regions

116
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:12,319
and uh they're all coming up at the same

117
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,480
time and so it it uh becomes a

118
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:16,320
conglomeration of

119
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,720
of alphanumeric codes

120
00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:20,560
that you have to try to decipher and you

121
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:22,639
get better with it with time

122
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,639
uh but when i first started out i was i

123
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,479
was a little overwhelmed at the barrage

124
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,320
of

125
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,479
call signs coming in and how to

126
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:32,960
how to more most efficiently pick out

127
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:35,440
the call signs and then and then make

128
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,600
those contacts and of course a great

129
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:39,040
contact

130
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:41,199
is that i hear their call sign and i

131
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:44,320
call them back with our call sign

132
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:45,840
that i have them loud and clear aboard

133
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:47,520
the space station our call sign here on

134
00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:49,759
the on the space station is november

135
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:52,240
alpha 1 sierra sierra

136
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:54,320
so you'll hear you'll hear that coming

137
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,680
over the

138
00:05:01,990 --> 00:04:58,080
the airways so november alpha one sierra

139
00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:02,000
sierra sierra or na1 ss you'll hear that

140
00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:04,160
sometimes people will say uh call just

141
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,160
for the international space station uh

142
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,400
you may hear that as well so

143
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:10,560
and then what i've been trying to do is

144
00:05:16,629 --> 00:05:14,160
uh if i get a partial call sign i'll uh

145
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,639
uh it's normally a string of a string of

146
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,400
numbers and letters usually one number

147
00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,880
in there and if i only hear the last

148
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,560
couple of numbers or a couple of numbers

149
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,560
in the call sign i'll repeat those

150
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:26,160
couple of numbers and say that i missed

151
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:27,520
the first part of the call sign or the

152
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,600
second last part of the call sign and

153
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:32,000
have them call back so normally that

154
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,880
will whittle it down and sometimes

155
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,639
folks will will kind of back off a

156
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:38,560
little bit and allow that

157
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:41,199
allow that ground station to to uh to

158
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:42,560
retransmit

159
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,800
that signal so a lot of times on the if

160
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:46,320
i get a couple letters and i repeat

161
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:47,440
those back

162
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,759
that folks will use courtesy and allow

163
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:51,600
that station to try to make contact

164
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:53,600
again and usually on that second or

165
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,840
third time i'll get that full call sign

166
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:58,319
and be able to complete that contact and

167
00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,840
so uh this will be a lot of fun we're

168
00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:01,520
gonna head down the service module and

169
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:03,360
um i think you'll really enjoy this so

170
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:06,319
come on along

171
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:08,800
we're coming into the uh to node one out

172
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:10,160
of the air lock

173
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:12,160
and uh we'll head down to the uh to the

174
00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:14,800
russian service module down to the uh

175
00:06:17,749 --> 00:06:16,560
to the uh aft end of the uh space

176
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:17,759
station

177
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:20,639
so we'll come come through here and uh

178
00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:23,039
and uh watch your head coming into pma1

179
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:24,080
and uh

180
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:26,479
please watch your speed

181
00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:29,199
the speed limit here is 17 500 miles per

182
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:31,840
hour and uh it is checked by radar so

183
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:40,390
coming up into pma1 and this we use this

184
00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:42,240
for a lot of storage

185
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:44,479
we have a lot of our clothing and things

186
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:46,240
hygiene products

uh the pressurized adapter here

214
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:43,440
mating adapter will come into the fgb of

215
00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:45,280
the functional cargo block

216
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:47,280
of the uh of the space station of the

217
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:48,560
russian segment

218
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:52,160

that it's a it's a lot of a lot of cargo

221
00:08:01,830 --> 00:07:58,960
a lot of systems in here and see these

222
00:08:04,950 --> 00:08:01,840
are all food containers uh that we have

223
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:04,960
