1
00:00:05,269 --> 00:00:03,270
well good day and welcome back to the

2
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:05,279
johnson space center for today's mission

3
00:00:08,470 --> 00:00:07,040
status briefing on flight day four of

4
00:00:10,629 --> 00:00:08,480
discovery's final flight to the

5
00:00:12,549 --> 00:00:10,639
international space station with us

6
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:12,559
today to discuss all of the activities

7
00:00:16,230 --> 00:00:14,160
involving the 12 crew members on the

8
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:16,240
shuttle station complex and upcoming

9
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:19,760
activities is the sts-133 ulf-5

10
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:21,760
international space station orbit one

11
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:24,560
flight director david korth david

12
00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:26,960
all right good day everyone

13
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:28,160
what i'll do is i'll talk a little bit

14
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:30,320
about the the current system status for

15
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:32,000
the orbiter and station and then talk

16
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:34,000
about what we've done today on station

17
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:36,079
what's coming up this afternoon

18
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:37,760
and a preview of some things coming up

19
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:40,239
in the next several days

20
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:42,800
to start with uh orbiter systems are

21
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:44,559
performing well

22
00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,239
we had a couple of things that we looked

23
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:48,320
at over the last few days

24
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:50,640
but everything's cleared themselves up

25
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,360
in fact the debris avoidance team has

26
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:55,360
received all the imagery

27
00:00:58,869 --> 00:00:56,719
and i understand there was a question to

28
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:58,879
brian lonnie

29
00:01:05,149 --> 00:01:01,440
yesterday regarding how many rpm photos

30
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:05,159
did we take and we took 302 photos

31
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:08,799
155 with the 800 millimeter lens and the

32
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:12,000
balance 147 with the 400 millimeter lens

33
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,600
all of those are

34
00:01:17,350 --> 00:01:15,520
are being analyzed right now but the

35
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:17,360
debris avoidance folks

36
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,960
have decided they don't need any more

37
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:20,400
information

38
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:21,360
from us

39
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,280
to assess the orbiter so no focused

40
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:25,600
inspection will be required

41
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:27,040
so with that

42
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:28,640
pre-flight agreement

43
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:31,360
we're going to take flight day 6 replace

44
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:33,840
the focused inspection time

45
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:36,720
with the pmm ingress so we get to shake

46
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:39,520
hands with robonaut a little sooner than

47
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,880
what was on the original timeline so

48
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:42,880
we're all excited about that

49
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,520
uh let's see cryo margin wise we've got

50
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,520
the the spitz

51
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:49,520
up and running it's doing well we've got

52
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:52,479
two days three hours of margin

53
00:02:00,469 --> 00:01:58,550
let's see

54
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,479
the uh

55
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,479
we're working through some

56
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:04,159
we were working through some issues with

57
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:05,119
the

58
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:10,080
so had some condensation we hooked up a

59
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:13,520
day early the condensate to uh cwc bags

60
00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:15,120
and everything's been working well so we

61
00:02:18,309 --> 00:02:16,800
just got a jump start on condensate

62
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,319
collection

63
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:20,400
so that's really it with the orbiter

64
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:22,319
i said everything's doing really well

65
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:23,680
with the ordinary orbiter crews doing

66
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:26,080
well um

67
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,080
from a station side all systems are

68
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:30,560
nominal uh with the exception of of the

69
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:33,840
vozduk which we had had planned to uh

70
00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:35,920
remove and replace a little bit later in

71
00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:39,040
this mission uh it was up it was down

72
00:02:41,990 --> 00:02:40,959
it was up again it was down again and

73
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,000
right now

74
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:44,319
it's been up again the uh the russian

75
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,599
crew members have

76
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:46,959
reactivated it's been running for a

77
00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:48,800
little over three hours now

78
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,879
so they're trying to get it to uh

79
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,400
basically uh

80
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:54,160
get along for a couple more days before

81
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:56,160
we replace it with a new model this

82
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:57,920
this vas duke actually was the original

83
00:03:00,630 --> 00:02:59,760
one so it's been up there for quite some

84
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:00,640
time

85
00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:03,280
and it's done its job well

86
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:05,519
the crew last night i know you talked to

87
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:08,560
brian and he was uh previewing um what

88
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:09,920
was coming up today and what they were

89
00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:11,280
looking forward to last night with the

90
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,319
elc-4 installation they the crew

91
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:16,560
elected to stay up uh about an hour and

92
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:19,760
a half or so late into their work day

93
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:22,800
and finish up the elc-4 install

94
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,640
it's it's in it's a

95
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,959
permanent location on the s3

96
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,640
starboard three

97
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:31,280
lower work site it's got power it's in

98
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:32,400
grid shape

99
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:33,840
but we let the crew sleep in a little

100
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:36,080
bit this morning about 30 minutes or so

101
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:37,760
to make up for the time they spent last

102
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:43,270
with respect to what we're doing today

103
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:45,440
on station it's kind of a myriad of

104
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:47,040
different activities

105
00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:47,920
uh

106
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,599
primary among those

107
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,200
robotics

108
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:53,360
we're positioning the uh when i left

109
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:54,640
console

110
00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,200
we had already handed off the obss to

111
00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:59,519
the shuttle arm it had maneuvered to the

112
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:00,959
viewing position

113
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,799
for eva1

114
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,080
and for

115
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:05,920
anything else that we may need for pm

116
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,840
install viewing

117
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:09,920
the station arm is in the process of

118
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:13,599
walking off to its position on the mbs

119
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:16,000
to support eva one

120
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:18,799
so and for the translation again tonight

121
00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:20,720
from uh for the mt from worksite three

122
00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:22,400
to worksite two

123
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,880
so all is is going well on on timeline

124
00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:26,960
with the robotic ops

125
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:28,639
the europeans

126
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:30,960
finally had their chance to uh get in

127
00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:32,960
there and fix their water on off off

128
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,639
valve number eight wove eight

129
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:38,479
and uh paulo

130
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:41,360
was uh knee deep in in wuve when i left

131
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,600
he's uh he's a little bit ahead of the

132
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:45,120
timeline i would say

133
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:46,800
what we're doing is we're

134
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:48,880
we're going to bring this old wuve home

135
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:50,880
and we're installing a

136
00:04:53,830 --> 00:04:52,560
kind of a bypass

137
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,840
manifold

138
00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:55,600
to take its place

139
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:58,479
we the shuttle brought up a new uh wove

140
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:00,240
that we're going to use as a spare

141
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:02,240
there's been

142
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:03,680
some

143
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:06,000
gel-like deposits that we've seen on the

144
00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:07,919
the valve stems of of a number of these

145
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:09,199
different woves

146
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:11,039
that uh is just due to the the liquids

147
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,800
that are flowing through there and the

148
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:14,400
the temperatures around the valves and

149
00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:16,000
it just forms these little gel-like

150
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,280
deposits

151
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:19,360
they've seen it on a number of them

152
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,080
this one seemed to have gotten stuck

153
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,039
and it was a time to just clean it up

154
00:05:28,469 --> 00:05:27,360
and and bypass it

155
00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:28,479
so

156
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:30,479
the that's that's going on schedule and

157
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:31,840
of course the other main thing we're

158
00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:33,440
doing today is getting ready for eva

159
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:35,039
number one tomorrow

160
00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,479
um

161
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:38,639
the uh the crew will begin i'll give you

162
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:41,280
a couple of times here so you can keep

163
00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,759
up with the timeline uh airlock campout

164
00:05:47,189 --> 00:05:45,039
will begin

165
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:47,199
at uh and i'll talk gmt i'm a station

00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:53,440
gmt uh 59 days one hour 48 minutes is

168
00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:55,600
when we'll begin the airlock camp out

169
00:05:59,430 --> 00:05:57,199
tonight

170
00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:59,440
and that will be steve bowen alvin drew

00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,600
hanging out in the airlock met if you're

172
00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:03,840
following met three days three hours 55

173
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:05,199

a lot of them are

180
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:22,960
a compilation of different makeup and

181
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:25,360
get ahead tasks

182

two two tasks just to highlight

187
00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:42,800
one of them is the pump module which we

188
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:44,319
we all got to know and love a little bit

189
00:06:48,870 --> 00:06:47,120
closer a month or so ago i will be

190
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:48,880
moving that

191
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:51,840
out to the esp2 site where the the new

192
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:54,319
pump module came from and first thing on

193
00:06:58,870 --> 00:06:56,720
eva2 on flight day seven we'll be

194
00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:58,880
venting it so we'll uh we'll put it in a

195
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,599
good long-term long-term storage config

196
00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:03,919
hopefully try to bring that back on a

197
00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:05,599
future shuttle flight

198
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:08,479
the other item of note for the eva

199
00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:09,520
tomorrow

200
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:11,599
there's a an expansion connector we're

201
00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:14,240
going to make a j612

202
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:16,639
we're doing that before we uh

203
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:20,240
burst the pmm module on flight day six

204
00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:23,120
just because the connector places on the

205
00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:25,840
outside of uh node one the air lock

206
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:27,919
are hard to get to

207
00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,759
once you put the pmm in place so

208
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:31,440
sequentially it just makes sense to get

209
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,880
this task done

210
00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:34,639
and then we'll move on to

211
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:38,080
installing the pmm on flight day six

212
00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,160
and let's see i think

213
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:41,919
i think those are the main highlights

214
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,680
that i had for the next couple of days

215
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,599
and as i mentioned because no focused

216
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,520
inspection on flight day six in the

217
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:49,120
morning we'll start off with pmm

218
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:51,120
installation and then the afternoon

219
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:52,160
we'll uh

220
00:07:56,830 --> 00:07:54,400
we'll get into pmm ingress and like i

221
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:56,840
said shake hands with with uh

222
00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:59,759
robonaut so uh with that

223
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:01,520
i'll open it up for any questions

224
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:02,800
anybody has

225
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:04,400
okay we'll take questions here we also

226
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,000
have reporters on the phone bridge and

227
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,160
we'll start over here denise

228
00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,160
hi denise childspace.com i was just

229
00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:12,160
wondering if you could go over um tim

230
00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:13,599
kopper's involvement in tomorrow's

231
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,800
spacewalk what he's going to be doing

232
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:16,720
here from mission control

233
00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:19,360
okay yeah we're glad that uh that tim's

234
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:20,720
up and moving around in fact he's in

235
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:22,879
mission control right now

236
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:25,280
what he's going to do because he trained

237
00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:27,120
to be one of the eva crew members he's

238
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:29,759
going to be here as as one of our

239
00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:31,440
ground

240
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,320
eva

241
00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:34,000
capcoms so he's going to be following

242
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:35,519
along helping the guys

243
00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:37,120
steven them

244
00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:38,959
work through the eva tasks from a ground

245
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:40,959
standpoint and i think that's going to

246
00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:43,440
be a tremendous asset and help to all of

247
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:50,949
another question robert

248
00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:53,190
robert perelman with collectspace.com

249
00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:57,040
regarding the j612 cable um there's been

250
00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:58,720
times in the past on ebay that

251
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:00,720
astronauts have had trouble hooking up

252
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:03,600
cables so can you just uh

253
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:05,040
describe a little bit about what type of

254
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:07,360
connection this is and also if you if

255
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,720
they can't get it connected for some

256
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:10,399
reason does that hold up

257
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:13,760
um or actually cancel uh birthing the

258
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:15,360
pmm

259
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:17,120
as to the type of connector i'm gonna

260
00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:18,560
have to get back to you on that i don't

261
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:21,600
i don't have that in front of me

262
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:23,839
as far as what do we do if we can't mate

263
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:25,920
the j612 connector

264
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:28,320
as far as the mission priorities are

265
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:29,360
concerned

266
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:33,040
birthing the pmm is is a top priority

267
00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:34,080
in fact

268
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,000
of the the four prior main mission

269
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:38,720
priorities we have docking shuttle

270
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:41,600
getting elc-4 out on the

271
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,880
s3 the next one is pmn birthing and then

272
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:46,720
undocking the shuttle and the original

273
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:48,160
plan that we had

274
00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:50,560
way back when was uh didn't include any

275
00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:52,800
evas at all so we were just taking the

276
00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:55,440
opportunity to to get this thing taken

277
00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:57,200
care of when we added some evas to this

278
00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,160
mission

279
00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:00,080
because it's hard to get to

280
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:01,600
if for some reason we have issues i'm

281
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:03,440
sure there'll be a lot of discussion but

282
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:05,920
based on priorities uh we go ahead and

283
00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:07,440
put pmm up there

284
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:09,120
uh get it installed on node one nader

285
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:10,320
just because that's one of our top

286
00:10:20,550 --> 00:10:17,750
and just a follow-up um it is the um

287
00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:20,560
jax's message in the bottle eevee uh eva

288
00:10:24,949 --> 00:10:22,800
activity still planned for the cba yeah

289
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,959
it will be uh its timeline is the last

290
00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:26,560
activity before the crew comes in the

291
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,710
okay

292
00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,949
and she came with harvard journalism

293
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,240
since all the vehicles from the

294
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,560
international partners ersten um david

295
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,800
can you give us your idea about what it

296
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,480
means for the international cooperation

297
00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:44,880
that's going on in this mission

298
00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:46,959
yeah it's kind of interesting that uh

299
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:48,720
everything kind of came together the way

300
00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:49,519
you know

301
00:10:53,350 --> 00:10:50,880
unfortunately the shuttle flight slip

302
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,360
but it slipped

303
00:10:58,230 --> 00:10:55,519
enough to where we have atv from the

304
00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:58,240
europeans with htv from the japanese of

305
00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:59,600
course progress and soyuz from the

306
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:01,440
russian team and now shuttle from the

307
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:03,920
u.s team and it it sort of solidifies

308
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:05,760
the international effort that we've uh

309
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,760
all experienced over the last 10 plus

310
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:09,600
years now on station so

311
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:11,040
it's kind of exciting to have all these

312
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:13,680
people involved at the same time

313
00:11:17,269 --> 00:11:15,040
it's a lot more work because there's a

314
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:17,279
lot more people involved but it really

315
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:20,240
uh highlights the international presence

316
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:25,590
okay

317
00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:27,120
with that we'll take questions from

318
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:28,640
reporters on the phone bridge i believe

319
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:30,640
marcia dunn is up first

320
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:33,920
yes hi um marcia done associated press

321
00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:36,320
will there be any um changes to

322
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:39,200
tomorrow's space walk as a result of um

323
00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:41,040
steve bones late addition to the mission

324
00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:42,240
i'm just wondering if anything's being

325
00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:44,720
altered or left off

326
00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:46,880
no there are no changes to the timeline

327
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:48,399
for tomorrow

328
00:11:54,870 --> 00:11:51,920
and uh two more questions um

329
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:54,880
he's only been able to train for a month

330
00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:56,800
granted he's an experienced space walker

331
00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:57,920
but i'm just

332
00:12:02,710 --> 00:11:59,839
wondering if you anticipate him to be

333
00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,720
able to carry out everything

334
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:04,639
as well as tim copper might have been

335
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,920
able to do if he had been on board

336
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:09,440
yeah as you mentioned

337
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:11,360
steve steve brings a wealth of eva

338
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:13,920
experience he's already had five evas a

339
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:16,800
very seasoned shuttle astronaut um and

340
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:19,680
he took he picked right up uh quickly in

341
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:22,560
the nbl runs coming up to speed

342
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:25,839
on the tasks that we have

343
00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:27,680
of course you know everybody's unique

344
00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:30,079
tim tim's unique guy and and of course

345
00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:32,000
we all miss him on board on the ground

346
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:34,480
he's part of the eva team here still

347
00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:36,800
with us on the ground as i mentioned

348
00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:39,120
and uh steve steve will do just fine and

349
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:41,120
we have absolutely every confidence that

350
00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:43,120
we'll knock off all these tasks and we

351
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:45,120
have a nice list of get ahead tasks for

352
00:12:48,389 --> 00:12:47,120
eva one as well and and we're fairly

353
00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:48,399
confident we'll get through those as

354
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:49,839
well

355
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:52,480
thank you and my last question um as

356
00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:54,480
late as launch day the robonaut people

357
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:55,920
have told me that they're not going to

358
00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,240
be able to unpack robonauts for at least

359
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:00,480
a couple more months and you mentioned

360
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:01,680
shaking hands and i didn't know if

361
00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:03,360
there's been a change of plans or will

362
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:05,200
rob and i remain boxed up until after

363
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:07,760
the long after the shuttle leaves

364
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:08,800
yeah

365
00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:10,240
the the shaking hands is more of a

366
00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:12,000
figurative

367
00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:12,800
um

368
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:14,639
as far as getting into robonaut yeah the

369
00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:16,160
stage plans it takes a lot of time

370
00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,760
there's a lot of packing with robonaut

371
00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:19,519
it's got a lot of sensitive equipment on

372
00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:21,360
it

373
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:24,959

where

387
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:57,360
esp2 the final resting place for the

388
00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,440
pump module is is that is it on the

389
00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:01,199
quest air lock and

390
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:04,399
once the module or once the pump module

391
00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,199
is

392
00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:07,600
on esp-2 uh

393
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:09,600
as the spacewalk progresses tomorrow

394
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:11,440
does it need power and cooling and that

395
00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:13,120
sort of thing and will it receive it

396
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:15,279
