1 00:00:08,299 --> 00:00:04,539 good evening and welcome to tonight's 2 00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:08,309 sts-133 mission status briefing with us 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:10,440 today our International Space Station 4 00:00:14,660 --> 00:00:12,210 lead flight director Royce Renfrew for 5 00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:14,670 this joint activity onboard the 6 00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:16,320 International Space Station and art 7 00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:19,080 Thomason the lead EV a officer for the 8 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:21,240 mission I will go first to some opening 9 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:22,650 comments from those two gentlemen and 10 00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:24,210 then we'll take your questions right 11 00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:27,449 thanks sir so it was an excellent EV a 12 00:00:32,089 --> 00:00:29,880 day today crew got out the hatch a 13 00:00:36,110 --> 00:00:32,099 little bit early this morning got right 14 00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:36,120 into the EBA ops we installed the j 6 12 15 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:38,160 cable the little power cable that we 16 00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:40,170 needed to get out installed prior to 17 00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:43,920 installation of the pmm tomorrow j 6 12 18 00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:45,510 cable was installed checked out today so 19 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:47,460 that's all fine that that activity was 20 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:50,760 done we relocated the the failed pump 21 00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:53,760 module from its position on the payload 22 00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:56,100 oru accommodation or Paula out on the 23 00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:59,010 mobile transporter Steve Bowen riding 24 00:01:05,090 --> 00:01:01,920 the arm with mike barratt flying brought 25 00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:05,100 the pole back and installed it on ESP to 26 00:01:09,649 --> 00:01:07,260 we got all that bolted in and got it set 27 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:09,659 up so we can vent about 10 pounds of 28 00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:12,570 ammonia out of it tomorrow or on Friday 29 00:01:18,859 --> 00:01:17,280 7e VA to then al Drew went up and took 30 00:01:21,550 --> 00:01:18,869 care of his ops he was going to do up at 31 00:01:24,590 --> 00:01:21,560 the z1 trusts he folded back the to moi 32 00:01:28,819 --> 00:01:24,600 moi flaps we needed to expose those two 33 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:28,829 are PCMs swapped out an a PFR moved to 34 00:01:33,350 --> 00:01:30,930 tool stanchion to a new a PFR and 35 00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:33,360 brought an old a PFR back to the airlock 36 00:01:37,789 --> 00:01:35,790 and installed that in the airlock we're 37 00:01:40,249 --> 00:01:37,799 going to do some ops on that between EV 38 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:40,259 a's to take a heat shield off there will 39 00:01:48,170 --> 00:01:43,530 bring that back out on EV a two and both 40 00:01:50,899 --> 00:01:48,180 crew met up at the at the CP three right 41 00:01:52,370 --> 00:01:50,909 next to exposed with just express 42 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,380 logistics carrier number for that we 43 00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:55,200 installed on five day three and put a 44 00:01:58,969 --> 00:01:56,729 wedge at the bottom of that camera 45 00:02:00,920 --> 00:01:58,979 stanchion to lean it away from the four 46 00:02:04,609 --> 00:02:00,930 frames or the five frames are on the 47 00:02:07,069 --> 00:02:04,619 back side a TLC for at that point in the 48 00:02:09,499 --> 00:02:07,079 EBA we were right on the timeline had a 49 00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:09,509 lot of good good margin left and our 50 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:11,790 consumables so we decided to push ahead 51 00:02:14,809 --> 00:02:12,450 and get the 52 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:14,819 get ahead task to install the cedar rail 53 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,090 stubs then allow the mt to translate to 54 00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:21,120 the farthest outboard mt location 55 00:02:26,809 --> 00:02:24,360 without having to do a sita card osita 56 00:02:29,089 --> 00:02:26,819 cart swap we got that taken care I've 57 00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:29,099 laid down the the sea to stop way down 58 00:02:33,979 --> 00:02:31,830 the tether rail stop and now we can 59 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:33,989 translate out there if we need to we 60 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:36,890 also picked up one other get ahead to 61 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:39,930 transfer a whiff extender from the mt 62 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:42,720 over to ESP to that was on our get ahead 63 00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:44,730 and list and steve bowen grabbed that on 64 00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:47,180 the way by and we finished today by 65 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:49,430 performing the message in a bottle 66 00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:52,290 activity which is capturing the vacuum 67 00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:54,209 of space in a bottle it's a Jackson 68 00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,519 payload and we'll bring that back in 69 00:03:01,100 --> 00:02:58,560 it'll be displayed somewhere in a museum 70 00:03:03,470 --> 00:03:01,110 in Japan and all in all those are great 71 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:03,480 evie a got everything done we needed to 72 00:03:09,530 --> 00:03:05,970 get done and I can't say enough about 73 00:03:12,370 --> 00:03:09,540 the cruise activity stay I inside the 74 00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:12,380 stack we also changed out an RPC M 75 00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:14,880 remote power controller module which is 76 00:03:19,729 --> 00:03:18,000 really just a circuit in our electrical 77 00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:19,739 power system that had been failed we 78 00:03:24,770 --> 00:03:22,440 took advantage of the power inhibits 79 00:03:27,170 --> 00:03:24,780 that we needed to have for the j 6 12 80 00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:27,180 cable installation those are exactly the 81 00:03:31,729 --> 00:03:28,920 same inhibits that we needed to change 82 00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:31,739 out the RPC M so Katie Collman took care 83 00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:33,870 of that for us today part of that I've 84 00:03:37,970 --> 00:03:35,519 got a good integration counter when we 85 00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:37,980 repowered node 1 and that all worked 86 00:03:42,379 --> 00:03:40,049 fine when I left console they were 87 00:03:45,770 --> 00:03:42,389 working our way through the EBA post 88 00:03:48,370 --> 00:03:45,780 activities and and crews getting ready 89 00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:48,380 to go to bed big day tomorrow for the 90 00:03:53,449 --> 00:03:50,310 permanent multi-purpose module 91 00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,459 installation in the morning and then 92 00:03:59,150 --> 00:03:55,200 because we don't have a focused 93 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:59,160 inspection requirement because the TPS 94 00:04:04,009 --> 00:04:00,720 system on the orbiter has been cleared 95 00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:04,019 for re-entry instead of instead of doing 96 00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:06,180 the activation on flight day 7 with a 97 00:04:10,610 --> 00:04:09,000 focused inspection on flight day 6 after 98 00:04:12,050 --> 00:04:10,620 we get the pmm installed tomorrow 99 00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:12,060 morning we'll step right into the 100 00:04:15,699 --> 00:04:13,950 activation and ingress and hope to be in 101 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:15,709 the module by tomorrow evening and 102 00:04:20,259 --> 00:04:18,570 that's that's really all I have and turn 103 00:04:24,189 --> 00:04:20,269 over to art see if he had any 104 00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:24,199 anything else to add okay like to start 105 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:26,780 off by congratulating Steve owl Nicole 106 00:04:31,659 --> 00:04:28,970 and Mike on an outstanding EV eight 107 00:04:33,249 --> 00:04:31,669 today this would have been a great EBA 108 00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:33,259 by any standard but considering that 109 00:04:37,119 --> 00:04:35,270 Steve only had a month to prepare for 110 00:04:39,339 --> 00:04:37,129 the CVA it's really a testament to all 111 00:04:41,409 --> 00:04:39,349 the hard work the team has put in to get 112 00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:41,419 to see VA where it is today I'd also 113 00:04:44,830 --> 00:04:43,400 like to thank tim kopra for all the hard 114 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:44,840 work he's put in in developing these 115 00:04:48,610 --> 00:04:47,360 ebas with Alice's hard work these TVA's 116 00:04:49,930 --> 00:04:48,620 wouldn't be where they were today it 117 00:04:53,649 --> 00:04:49,940 wouldn't be the success that we saw 118 00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:53,659 during the VA's today the sts-133 EV a 119 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:56,630 one was six hours and 34 minutes it was 120 00:04:59,770 --> 00:04:58,250 planned for six hours and 30 minutes so 121 00:05:01,629 --> 00:04:59,780 pretty much right on the timeline there 122 00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:01,639 we completed all the scheduled tasks for 123 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,889 the day Royce already touched on most of 124 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:05,360 the test I'll give a quick overview 125 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:07,759 again just to describe those the first 126 00:05:13,149 --> 00:05:10,400 one was the j 6 12 extension cable task 127 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:13,159 that is basically an extension cord that 128 00:05:18,249 --> 00:05:16,370 allows us to get power from the station 129 00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:18,259 once the permanent multi-purpose module 130 00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:21,110 is installed and this is for contingency 131 00:05:25,689 --> 00:05:23,750 purposes for node 3 in case we needed to 132 00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:25,699 give power to note 3 for a contingency 133 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:28,340 case next the event tool and vent tool 134 00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:30,610 extender was routed this will be in 135 00:05:36,159 --> 00:05:32,990 preparation for venting the ammonia in 136 00:05:38,379 --> 00:05:36,169 the pump module four evaa to Steve then 137 00:05:39,999 --> 00:05:38,389 was on the robotic arm and stowed the 138 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:40,009 failed pump module moved it from the 139 00:05:45,490 --> 00:05:43,250 mobile transporter back over to external 140 00:05:47,620 --> 00:05:45,500 stowage platform number two we had a 141 00:05:49,659 --> 00:05:47,630 small hiccup with the space station 142 00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:49,669 robotic arm workstation it was Anna 143 00:05:54,249 --> 00:05:51,889 kupil at that time the crew did a really 144 00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:54,259 good job of getting moved over to an 145 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:56,000 alternate workstation with a minimal 146 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:57,770 time impact to get us right back on 147 00:06:02,409 --> 00:06:00,560 track I'm also when the pump module was 148 00:06:04,209 --> 00:06:02,419 being installed there was four bolts 149 00:06:05,950 --> 00:06:04,219 that were driven after the bolts were 150 00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:05,960 driven to secure it in place there were 151 00:06:09,459 --> 00:06:07,460 three electrical connectors that were 152 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:09,469 made it one of the connectors we had a 153 00:06:13,659 --> 00:06:11,210 problem with and I have an example of 154 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:13,669 that type of connector here today this 155 00:06:18,909 --> 00:06:16,610 is an ins egl connector and this is a 156 00:06:21,570 --> 00:06:18,919 smaller version but it's the same design 157 00:06:24,820 --> 00:06:21,580 as the one that was used on orbit today 158 00:06:26,589 --> 00:06:24,830 they start off by connecting the two 159 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:26,599 pieces of the connector and then 160 00:06:30,579 --> 00:06:29,210 throwing this Bale as you can see when 161 00:06:33,850 --> 00:06:30,589 you push it all the way down this veil 162 00:06:35,379 --> 00:06:33,860 snaps into place on orbit today though 163 00:06:37,779 --> 00:06:35,389 one of the connectors the connector that 164 00:06:40,209 --> 00:06:37,789 was actually the ground for this 165 00:06:41,890 --> 00:06:40,219 connection they weren't able to get this 166 00:06:44,050 --> 00:06:41,900 bail thrown all the way down and clicked 167 00:06:45,459 --> 00:06:44,060 into place I was pretty close he left it 168 00:06:48,010 --> 00:06:45,469 where it was but it's something we may 169 00:06:49,570 --> 00:06:48,020 address again ani VA to to make sure to 170 00:06:53,950 --> 00:06:49,580 do some more troubleshooting to get this 171 00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:53,960 back in place after the pump module was 172 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:56,300 secured into place I'll headed out to 173 00:07:00,339 --> 00:06:58,250 the z1 trust where he returned a 174 00:07:02,350 --> 00:07:00,349 portable foot restraint this portable 175 00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:02,360 foot restraint had a heat shield on the 176 00:07:05,499 --> 00:07:03,800 bottom of it that prevents it from being 177 00:07:07,540 --> 00:07:05,509 installed in some of the work sites on 178 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:07,550 the outside the space station tomorrow 179 00:07:11,429 --> 00:07:09,289 they'll remove that heat shield and then 180 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:11,439 bring the APF are out on EV a number two 181 00:07:16,179 --> 00:07:14,000 they then headed out to the s1 s3 182 00:07:18,999 --> 00:07:16,189 interface where they installed a camera 183 00:07:21,790 --> 00:07:19,009 wedge this camera wedge cants the entire 184 00:07:24,129 --> 00:07:21,800 camera in board so that there's room for 185 00:07:26,589 --> 00:07:24,139 the robotic arm to access Express 186 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:26,599 logistics carrier number four and still 187 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:30,650 replacements there we then went into the 188 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:32,810 get ahead task of installing the rail 189 00:07:37,450 --> 00:07:35,810 stubs these rail stubs allows the whole 190 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:37,460 mobile transporter and see the cart 191 00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:39,710 units to translate farther outboard to 192 00:07:44,740 --> 00:07:41,440 give more reach with the robotic arm 193 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:44,750 during this task the crew did have 194 00:07:50,019 --> 00:07:47,930 difficulty and driving the bolts that 195 00:07:51,579 --> 00:07:50,029 secure these rail stubs in place they 196 00:07:53,379 --> 00:07:51,589 went to a higher torque at that point 197 00:07:54,670 --> 00:07:53,389 and everything worked fine that we just 198 00:07:57,399 --> 00:07:54,680 had a higher running torque on those 199 00:07:59,230 --> 00:07:57,409 bolts and expected from there their 200 00:08:00,999 --> 00:07:59,240 final nominal test they finished up was 201 00:08:04,209 --> 00:08:01,009 Jax's message in a bottle where they 202 00:08:08,110 --> 00:08:04,219 captured the vacuum of space and that is 203 00:08:09,999 --> 00:08:08,120 it for me okay well thank you very much 204 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:10,009 gentleman will now go to questions 205 00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:11,330 please remember state your name and 206 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:19,310 affiliation all right thank you mr coral 207 00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:20,810 for aviation week i had two little 208 00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:23,599 questions could you could you describe 209 00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:25,849 at least approximately how long the rail 210 00:08:32,740 --> 00:08:30,080 stubs are and and what they sort of by 211 00:08:34,839 --> 00:08:32,750 you in terms of access with the robot 212 00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:34,849 arm in the future if there's a piece of 213 00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:37,070 the station on the starboard side that 214 00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:39,229 you can now reach or look at with a 215 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,740 camera or something you couldn't before 216 00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:43,599 and and we can get you the exact 217 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:45,220 dimension is about a foot long it's not 218 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:48,610 very long the trick is that we can 219 00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:51,040 actually reach all the way out out 220 00:08:56,850 --> 00:08:53,200 border the Sarge right now than in order 221 00:08:59,340 --> 00:08:56,860 to be able to do that the CETA carts 222 00:09:01,500 --> 00:08:59,350 that we can detach from the mobile 223 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:01,510 transporter and use to just translate 224 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:03,930 them via EV a power up and down the rail 225 00:09:08,850 --> 00:09:06,970 the cedar cart on that side of the truss 226 00:09:11,790 --> 00:09:08,860 if we actually translated all the way to 227 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:11,800 the farthest outboard worksite the cedar 228 00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:14,050 cart itself would stick over the edge of 229 00:09:19,199 --> 00:09:17,830 the cedar rails of the mt rails so every 230 00:09:21,810 --> 00:09:19,209 time we translate all the way out to 231 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:21,820 that outboard work site now we have to 232 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:24,130 relocate the cedar carts so they're both 233 00:09:28,769 --> 00:09:26,649 on one side so by adding that little one 234 00:09:30,329 --> 00:09:28,779 foot extension in there we can now 235 00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:30,339 translate all the way out board without 236 00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:32,920 having to spend the EV a time to 237 00:09:40,199 --> 00:09:37,870 relocate those cita curves and I had a 238 00:09:43,769 --> 00:09:40,209 just a second question about the control 239 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:43,779 station in the cupola I know you I know 240 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:46,570 you were able to adjust but when you do 241 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:48,610 the second spacewalk will you be back in 242 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:51,279 the cupola or is that kind of do to be 243 00:09:58,350 --> 00:09:54,160 determined yet no we we finish that off 244 00:10:03,329 --> 00:09:58,360 today the pump module has actually been 245 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:03,339 stowed out on there's a spare latching 246 00:10:07,470 --> 00:10:05,290 end effector for the big arm that is 247 00:10:09,630 --> 00:10:07,480 actually called the pego to oru 248 00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:09,640 accommodation it's a piece of robotics 249 00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:11,200 equipment out on them on the mobile 250 00:10:16,019 --> 00:10:13,360 transporter it's literally a spare end 251 00:10:17,730 --> 00:10:16,029 effector and we use it as a sewage space 252 00:10:19,769 --> 00:10:17,740 whenever we need to put a big payload in 253 00:10:22,139 --> 00:10:19,779 here when we had the pump module fell in 254 00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:22,149 August when we took the failed pump 255 00:10:26,579 --> 00:10:24,790 module out we stowed it in the power so 256 00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:26,589 it's been in there ever since August and 257 00:10:31,290 --> 00:10:28,690 in between that time and today we've 258 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:31,300 actually had a software upgrade for the 259 00:10:35,850 --> 00:10:33,850 robotic system on the vehicle and when 260 00:10:39,449 --> 00:10:35,860 we did that software upgrade we loaded 261 00:10:42,030 --> 00:10:39,459 some default parameters to the PO ah and 262 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:42,040 when we got back to it today the system 263 00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:44,320 got itself confused because it realized 264 00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:46,510 it was holding a payload but it had 265 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:48,820 default parameters voted in its software 266 00:10:52,829 --> 00:10:50,170 that said it was unloaded 267 00:10:55,139 --> 00:10:52,839 so it had a conflict in its own logic 268 00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,149 there that said I can't be both locked 269 00:10:59,550 --> 00:10:57,279 and loaded and unloaded simultaneously 270 00:11:01,410 --> 00:10:59,560 and the and the workstation did exactly 271 00:11:04,019 --> 00:11:01,420 what it was supposed to do and took 272 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:04,029 itself down and safe the system we 273 00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:05,920 transitioned the crew down to the lab to 274 00:11:10,410 --> 00:11:07,720 finish the activity and then by the time 275 00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:10,420 I got to the end of my shift we had 276 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:11,769 actually figured out what had gone wrong 277 00:11:17,189 --> 00:11:14,529 with that workstation powered it back up 278 00:11:19,050 --> 00:11:17,199 to a backup configuration actually 279 00:11:20,939 --> 00:11:19,060 during the EBA we powered it back up to 280 00:11:22,259 --> 00:11:20,949 the backup configuration just in case we 281 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:22,269 needed it to go back to another 282 00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:24,850 workstation but we understand everything 283 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:26,829 is wrong with that now we've got it all 284 00:11:31,319 --> 00:11:28,889 sorted out and we'll use the cupola 285 00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:31,329 workstation to install the pmm tomorrow 286 00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:33,670 and we'll use it for EV a two on five 287 00:11:50,050 --> 00:11:46,860 hi Robert Pearlman with collectspace.com 288 00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:50,060 with regards to the mission extension by 289 00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:52,550 one day that was called up at the end of 290 00:11:59,470 --> 00:11:56,960 the day what do you gain pmm wise with 291 00:12:02,350 --> 00:11:59,480 that extra day and if the Soyuz fly 292 00:12:05,710 --> 00:12:02,360 about is approved do you lose what that 293 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:05,720 that extra work or does that go on 294 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:08,330 regardless okay so for the first 295 00:12:14,829 --> 00:12:11,690 question obviously we've got the HTV 296 00:12:16,930 --> 00:12:14,839 currently on the vehicle so we're out of 297 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:16,940 sequence there because 133 was supposed 298 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:19,010 to fly first and the PM what RPM em 299 00:12:24,340 --> 00:12:20,450 would already be installed when HTV 300 00:12:26,380 --> 00:12:24,350 arrived HTV we extended HTV duration on 301 00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:26,390 orbit to make sure it was still there 302 00:12:31,930 --> 00:12:29,300 when 133 arrived but it's it's scheduled 303 00:12:34,990 --> 00:12:31,940 to be undocked in deorbit adapter 304 00:12:37,930 --> 00:12:35,000 shortly after 133 leave so what we gain 305 00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:37,940 with the additional day is an additional 306 00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:41,180 day with with really nine US crew 307 00:12:46,630 --> 00:12:43,279 members or 12 crew members total on the 308 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:46,640 vehicle to help unload the pmm and get 309 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:48,050 all of whatever we were going to bring 310 00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:52,310 home in HTV revo relocated from pmm over 311 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:54,080 the HTV so the plus one day actually 312 00:13:00,310 --> 00:12:58,610 buys us a full crew day of six crew 313 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:00,320 members that we would not normally have 314 00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:03,410 on board the vehicle to do that transfer 315 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:04,670 activity so we're going to get a lot of 316 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:07,130 transfer transfer done that we wouldn't 317 00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:08,810 normally be able to get done if we 318 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:11,360 didn't add the plus one day if we if we 319 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:13,850 turn around then and do the the soyuz 320 00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:16,730 five out activity we really don't lose 321 00:13:21,579 --> 00:13:18,670 that additional transfer activity 322 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:21,589 because the only the only crew members 323 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:23,330 who won't be on board or what wouldn't 324 00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:25,490 be involved in the end the transfer ops 325 00:13:31,870 --> 00:13:28,550 would be the the three 24s crew members 326 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:31,880 so Alex and Oleg and Scott what the guys 327 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:34,370 are actually flying around in 24 s would 328 00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:36,410 not be involved in in the transfer 329 00:13:42,850 --> 00:13:38,000 activities and we'd still be able to get 330 00:13:44,170 --> 00:13:42,860 a lot of that a lot of that done and on 331 00:13:47,050 --> 00:13:44,180 the subject of transfers do you have an 332 00:13:50,019 --> 00:13:47,060 idea of how how far they are right now 333 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:50,029 in terms of moving payload between 334 00:13:53,610 --> 00:13:51,850 discovery and the station is 335 00:13:57,569 --> 00:13:53,620 percentage or something you could 336 00:13:59,100 --> 00:13:57,579 prevent I did not track that today I 337 00:14:02,550 --> 00:13:59,110 should check that before I came over 338 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:02,560 here I know that my a CEO transferor 339 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:04,810 guys are very happy about where we're at 340 00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:07,600 we were either right on the time on her 341 00:14:10,860 --> 00:14:09,100 head of the time I night the number i 342 00:14:12,569 --> 00:14:10,870 remember from yesterday is we were forty 343 00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:12,579 percent done so we're something better 344 00:14:22,439 --> 00:14:15,279 than forty percent today so we're doing 345 00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:22,449 very well there Gina Gina and Sarah ABC 346 00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:24,100 News you both talked about the message 347 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:25,569 in the bottle but if you had to write a 348 00:14:31,439 --> 00:14:28,930 message what would you both right you 349 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:31,449 know I think the this this little 350 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:34,720 activity that is a great thing it the 351 00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:37,690 everybody gets a chance to go to this 352 00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:40,000 museum and i'm not sure what museum it's 353 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:41,350 going to wind up in somewhere in japan 354 00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:42,610 you'll be able to go in there and as I 355 00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:44,860 understand the concept behind it here 356 00:14:48,809 --> 00:14:46,990 you go stand in front of this bottle and 357 00:14:51,269 --> 00:14:48,819 just imagine for a while what you would 358 00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:51,279 fill that with and and for me personally 359 00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:53,889 what what that represents is something 360 00:14:58,439 --> 00:14:56,560 tangible that the average person in 361 00:15:01,379 --> 00:14:58,449 Japan or anybody that wants to go see 362 00:15:04,889 --> 00:15:01,389 this museum go see this article in a 363 00:15:07,410 --> 00:15:04,899 museum can relate to what I do for a 364 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:07,420 living and and and anything that that 365 00:15:13,050 --> 00:15:09,370 gets that message out there for the 366 00:15:15,439 --> 00:15:13,060 average citizen is as a great thing from 367 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:15,449 my perspective and and I think it 368 00:15:18,449 --> 00:15:17,529 whether or not folks think about what 369 00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:18,459 they're going to put in there I think 370 00:15:24,660 --> 00:15:20,769 they'll all think about that this was 371 00:15:27,449 --> 00:15:24,670 captured on sts-133 uofi discoveries 372 00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:27,459 last mission and and is as a connection 373 00:15:32,610 --> 00:15:29,439 back to this fight first long is that 374 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:32,620 message model exists in Japan and art 375 00:15:36,749 --> 00:15:34,930 what would you put in there well I agree 376 00:15:38,610 --> 00:15:36,759 with Royce that this is a great thing 377 00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:38,620 and the crew took a lot of pictures 378 00:15:42,749 --> 00:15:40,480 today so in the museum it'll be very 379 00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:42,759 nice to see a picture of someone holding 380 00:15:45,929 --> 00:15:44,829 this thing in space and then also see it 381 00:15:48,269 --> 00:15:45,939 right there in front of you to know that 382 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:48,279 this was actually outside in the vacuum 383 00:15:53,179 --> 00:15:50,410 of space and held by EBA crew members 384 00:15:54,929 --> 00:15:53,189 and still contains that vacuum today so 385 00:15:56,770 --> 00:15:54,939 they're going to be a great thing to see 386 00:15:58,510 --> 00:15:56,780 in a museum 387 00:16:00,640 --> 00:15:58,520 the Wonder you answer my question what 388 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:00,650 would you write what would your message 389 00:16:08,140 --> 00:16:06,170 be you know I don't know I'd have to 390 00:16:11,050 --> 00:16:08,150 think about it before I before I throw 391 00:16:15,220 --> 00:16:11,060 something in there all right now I 392 00:16:19,630 --> 00:16:15,230 didn't answer your questions germana I 393 00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:19,640 think Jill's coming back here bill 394 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:20,630 Hartwick cigarettes with two quick 395 00:16:25,020 --> 00:16:23,330 questions for Royce on the Soyuz flava 396 00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:25,030 I'm just curious as an operations guy 397 00:16:29,290 --> 00:16:27,470 who looks at this how do you look at the 398 00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:29,300 risk versus the benefit I mean it really 399 00:16:33,940 --> 00:16:31,550 comes down to pictures versus put some 400 00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:33,950 guys in a capsule and undocking which in 401 00:16:37,740 --> 00:16:35,600 the past they've had problems etc I mean 402 00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:37,750 how do you view that risk benefit trade 403 00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:41,750 well you know you couch it as an ops and 404 00:16:45,730 --> 00:16:42,950 how do I look at it from an ops 405 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:45,740 perspective when when we when we fly the 406 00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:48,290 stack in in everyday ops with you 407 00:16:53,830 --> 00:16:50,750 visiting vehicle activities we docked 408 00:16:55,540 --> 00:16:53,840 the ATV the other day we docked the HTV 409 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:55,550 the other day I've been on console for a 410 00:17:00,340 --> 00:16:56,930 number of soldiers and progress 411 00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:00,350 rendevouz and undock activities so from 412 00:17:05,470 --> 00:17:02,660 from a purely no kiddin look at it from 413 00:17:06,970 --> 00:17:05,480 an ops perspective what we're what we're 414 00:17:10,090 --> 00:17:06,980 planning to do for the Soyuz fly about 415 00:17:12,190 --> 00:17:10,100 and undocking a Soyuz and taking it out 416 00:17:15,010 --> 00:17:12,200 and then reading a Soyuz and bring it 417 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:15,020 back in is not beyond the technical 418 00:17:18,820 --> 00:17:16,880 capabilities of what we're what we've 419 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:18,830 done with the ISS in the past and in 420 00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:21,410 fact it's very similar to the sum of the 421 00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:23,420 Soyuz relocate activities that we've 422 00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:24,950 done in the past where we needed to move 423 00:17:29,770 --> 00:17:27,590 the Soyuz from one docking point to 424 00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:29,780 another in order to free up a docking 425 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:32,030 port for another vehicle coming in so 426 00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:34,370 from a purely no kiddin technical 427 00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:38,270 perspective if this is not incredibly 428 00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:39,860 off nominal from what we've done before 429 00:17:44,170 --> 00:17:42,260 going to put the put the stack and a 430 00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:44,180 configuration and allow the crew to take 431 00:17:50,830 --> 00:17:46,430 some pictures and and from that 432 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:50,840 perspective the wrist trade trade 433 00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:52,850 perspective the you know that's the 434 00:17:56,980 --> 00:17:54,950 other thing that that we that we wind up 435 00:17:59,140 --> 00:17:56,990 looking at all the time is that there's 436 00:18:01,450 --> 00:17:59,150 the technical capability to go do an 437 00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:01,460 activity vice what is the risk of being 438 00:18:04,940 --> 00:18:02,310 able to do an act 439 00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:04,950 and I think today's evaa is a very good 440 00:18:09,050 --> 00:18:07,470 example of you know we put two crew 441 00:18:11,810 --> 00:18:09,060 members outside the vehicle that's a 442 00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:11,820 that's a risky thing we understand the 443 00:18:16,370 --> 00:18:13,440 risks that are associated with putting 444 00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:16,380 crew members outside to do ops and and 445 00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:17,910 we all get comfortable with putting them 446 00:18:22,700 --> 00:18:20,160 putting them in that configuration so 447 00:18:24,410 --> 00:18:22,710 then you have to couch that as we're 448 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:24,420 going to go take three crew members and 449 00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:26,490 undock them from the station and take 450 00:18:30,350 --> 00:18:28,260 them out a couple hundred metres to let 451 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:30,360 them take some pictures what is the risk 452 00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:33,570 that you that you bring in there and and 453 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:35,520 from my perspective the risks associated 454 00:18:39,650 --> 00:18:37,650 with taking the crew out to take those 455 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:39,660 pictures is not that different from what 456 00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:41,730 we normally do from our from our Russian 457 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:44,460 visiting vehicle activities so we're 458 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:46,770 going to and we're going to be ready to 459 00:18:50,540 --> 00:18:48,450 go whatever the program decides they 460 00:18:53,030 --> 00:18:50,550 want us to do we'll be ready to go 461 00:18:55,940 --> 00:18:53,040 execute it come up after they make a 462 00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:55,950 decision tomorrow well just the other 463 00:18:59,090 --> 00:18:57,360 side of that question that was the 464 00:19:00,710 --> 00:18:59,100 benefit part of the risk-benefit trade 465 00:19:02,270 --> 00:19:00,720 which is when you do a spacewalk you're 466 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:02,280 doing it because the station obviously 467 00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:04,410 needs to work done so the risk is worth 468 00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:06,480 it sure is the risk of flying the soil 469 00:19:10,970 --> 00:19:08,820 you is worth hitting what amounts to a 470 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:10,980 an incredibly pretty picture but still 471 00:19:15,140 --> 00:19:13,530 just a picture right so if you look at 472 00:19:16,730 --> 00:19:15,150 the benefit side of that equation what 473 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:16,740 do we get out of being able to do this 474 00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:19,290 and I think if I can't remember we had a 475 00:19:22,820 --> 00:19:21,360 press conference while back I got asked 476 00:19:26,330 --> 00:19:22,830 the question about what we were going to 477 00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:26,340 do after the after the the shuttle stop 478 00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:28,230 flying for being able to capture the 479 00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:30,240 data for the fly around activities that 480 00:19:35,090 --> 00:19:31,800 we've done for your number of years with 481 00:19:36,740 --> 00:19:35,100 the orbiter the ability to take the 482 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:36,750 Soyuz out and essentially doing fly 483 00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,880 around of the vehicle is something that 484 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:40,320 I assume we're going to wind up doing 485 00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:41,970 after the shuttle stops fighting to be 486 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:43,950 able to continue to capture that data on 487 00:19:48,740 --> 00:19:46,410 mmod strikes and how is the vehicle 488 00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:48,750 actually behaving and long duration in 489 00:19:52,850 --> 00:19:50,700 space so part of the benefits that will 490 00:19:57,170 --> 00:19:52,860 get theirs will have the ability to take 491 00:19:58,790 --> 00:19:57,180 a to take a an opportunity during this 492 00:20:00,080 --> 00:19:58,800 mission to practice what we're probably 493 00:20:02,660 --> 00:20:00,090 going to wind up doing here eventually 494 00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:02,670 anyway yes we'll get a really nice 495 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:04,140 picture out of it but there are some 496 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:06,570 operational advantages as well be able 497 00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:08,850 to take some pictures of the side of the 498 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,470 ISS that we don't normally see in the 499 00:20:13,890 --> 00:20:12,240 fire rounds be able to take an 500 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:13,900 opportunity to see how we would 501 00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:15,370 actually do a complete lap of the 502 00:20:19,410 --> 00:20:17,680 vehicle someday in the future where were 503 00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:19,420 the Soyuz with the with a career in 504 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:22,300 there taking pictures okay we have a 505 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:24,250 number of reporters on the phone bridge 506 00:20:27,420 --> 00:20:26,410 and I'm going to go take their questions 507 00:20:29,460 --> 00:20:27,430 right now and then we'll come back for 508 00:20:32,970 --> 00:20:29,470 some wrap-ups here in the room I think 509 00:20:35,850 --> 00:20:32,980 first on the line is Irene Klotz thinks 510 00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:35,860 I don't have any question okay Marcia 511 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:39,760 Dunn yes I was just wondering two 512 00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:41,890 questions have the Russians signed off 513 00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:45,310 on the fly around cheddar is mission 514 00:20:50,940 --> 00:20:48,340 management teams still awaiting that as 515 00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:50,950 far as i understand it we're still in 516 00:20:54,990 --> 00:20:52,720 the posture that we came in the mission 517 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:55,000 within that the combined mission 518 00:21:03,060 --> 00:20:58,210 management team I the mmt I mmt decision 519 00:21:05,010 --> 00:21:03,070 will be made tomorrow on Friday 6 fly 520 00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:05,020 rod is conducted with the hatches 521 00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:08,460 between the shadow and the station be 522 00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:11,710 closed and what all the crews go to 523 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:15,550 their various vessels negative it would 524 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:20,650 be we there's a hatch between mr m 2 and 525 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:23,050 the russian segment that would be closed 526 00:21:27,390 --> 00:21:24,610 and that would be the only hatch that 527 00:21:29,310 --> 00:21:27,400 would be closed the rest of the ISS 528 00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:29,320 would be open for business and i fully 529 00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:31,870 expect to be doing transfer ops and 530 00:21:37,950 --> 00:21:35,830 other I VA ops with the crew members 531 00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:37,960 that remain on the vehicle when we do 532 00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:40,860 the 50 thank you that's all for me 533 00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:45,280 Charles Atkinson th off market 534 00:21:50,580 --> 00:21:47,470 indicators that song is normally BYE MOM 535 00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:50,590 white following up on Martha what a rush 536 00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:52,960 is not from a fly around and it's not 537 00:21:57,450 --> 00:21:54,880 the working hard to get Russia to agree 538 00:21:59,820 --> 00:21:57,460 for the social photo op when is it 539 00:22:02,940 --> 00:21:59,830 similar to want to get on the export 71 540 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:02,950 I fly around and you win the award for 541 00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:05,530 the worst comlink I don't think I copied 542 00:22:09,210 --> 00:22:07,120 the first part of the question but I'll 543 00:22:12,210 --> 00:22:09,220 try to answer if I don't get it all you 544 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:12,220 can come back as far as I know we're 545 00:22:16,530 --> 00:22:14,530 still we're still talking as a 546 00:22:20,010 --> 00:22:16,540 management team with all of our 547 00:22:21,660 --> 00:22:20,020 international partners with with Jackson 548 00:22:23,970 --> 00:22:21,670 with ISA and with 549 00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:23,980 and all of the players here including 550 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:26,710 the shuttle program and and that 551 00:22:31,290 --> 00:22:28,960 decision will be made in the mmt 552 00:22:36,350 --> 00:22:31,300 tomorrow and I hope that answered the 553 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:36,360 question oh boy sure a little bit better 554 00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:39,310 okay thank you talking with bhusan still 555 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:41,470 going on about hologram come on exploit 556 00:22:46,020 --> 00:22:43,600 our display is one of us two thoughts on 557 00:22:48,390 --> 00:22:46,030 the flyer wrong you heard early word as 558 00:22:52,890 --> 00:22:48,400 far as Russell and more of a think that 559 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:52,900 he'll go one more I think what I'm 560 00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:55,090 hearing is the question is what are the 561 00:22:59,940 --> 00:22:57,070 Russians thoughts about to fly around I 562 00:23:03,270 --> 00:22:59,950 I don't have I don't have a status on 563 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,280 that I really don't the all the 564 00:23:08,190 --> 00:23:05,520 international partners will be 565 00:23:12,270 --> 00:23:08,200 represented in the IMM tea tomorrow on 566 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:12,280 Friday 6 and and we'll get what what all 567 00:23:17,580 --> 00:23:14,290 of the international partners assessment 568 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:17,590 of the firearm will be at that time and 569 00:23:22,350 --> 00:23:19,810 lastly it's going to be fun along to the 570 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:22,360 SPF 70 my weird while around what we saw 571 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:27,490 with it for you the SES 71 mere fire 572 00:23:34,590 --> 00:23:33,250 around is similar as I when we went back 573 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:34,600 and looked at some of that when we first 574 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:36,250 started talking about this activity in 575 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:40,090 that case we took us so use out and then 576 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:43,450 undocked the orbiter from mirror and 577 00:23:48,420 --> 00:23:46,330 then read acht the Soyuz that would not 578 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:48,430 be the sequence that we would that we 579 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:50,170 would execute in this case in this case 580 00:23:55,740 --> 00:23:53,530 we would undock the Soyuz take it out 581 00:23:58,380 --> 00:23:55,750 take the pictures and then bring the 582 00:24:00,390 --> 00:23:58,390 Soyuz back in and then we would undock 583 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:00,400 the orbiter the next day so it's 584 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:02,530 somewhat similar but the sequencing is a 585 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:05,410 little bit different okay one more 586 00:24:11,730 --> 00:24:07,570 question you said you hard work phones 587 00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:11,740 activated through the iso slipper all we 588 00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:18,300 I'm sorry would you repeat the question 589 00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:19,750 please we're having a little hard time 590 00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:23,080 hearing in look like the exact will 591 00:24:28,770 --> 00:24:25,510 radiate the crew with fine words 592 00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:28,780 following the message in a bottle did 593 00:24:32,370 --> 00:24:30,640 Jax I already talked to the crew with 594 00:24:34,380 --> 00:24:32,380 the message in about I 595 00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:34,390 is when I left council I had not heard 596 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:38,020 that come up from Jackson no but I know 597 00:24:41,340 --> 00:24:39,850 they were they were very excited to 598 00:24:44,910 --> 00:24:41,350 actually have gotten it done I've been 599 00:24:46,530 --> 00:24:44,920 working with my jaksa counterparts 600 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:46,540 leading up to the mission they were very 601 00:24:51,540 --> 00:24:49,210 excited to have it on the on the EPA's 602 00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:51,550 and we actually had a timeline as the 603 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:55,030 last activity today but arted included 604 00:24:58,500 --> 00:24:56,890 in a VA to if we couldn't get to it 605 00:25:01,470 --> 00:24:58,510 today we were going to be sure we got it 606 00:25:03,690 --> 00:25:01,480 on 133 so they were very happy that that 607 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:03,700 we did the activity i talked to jay 608 00:25:07,650 --> 00:25:05,890 flight when they were out there at the 609 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:07,660 end of the uva with the crew capture in 610 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:09,250 the vacuum and he was very excited on 611 00:25:16,260 --> 00:25:11,530 the loop stood to see that payload get 612 00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:16,270 taken care of thank you okay I think we 613 00:25:22,710 --> 00:25:17,710 have one last report on the phone bridge 614 00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:22,720 todd halvorson calverson oak florida 615 00:25:26,790 --> 00:25:25,030 today can hear me absolutely that's a 616 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:26,800 good comment um link there we'll take 617 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:30,610 that one all right great I wonder if 618 00:25:36,330 --> 00:25:32,650 y'all can comment a little bit more 619 00:25:39,990 --> 00:25:36,340 about the robotic workstation crash in 620 00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:40,000 cupola that seemed to be a real scramble 621 00:25:47,010 --> 00:25:42,880 going on with a space Walker holding an 622 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:47,020 800 pound box the size of a large chest 623 00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:50,170 of drawers on the end of a robot arm and 624 00:25:56,070 --> 00:25:51,910 I'm wondering what was going through 625 00:25:59,790 --> 00:25:56,080 your mind and and give us a sense of how 626 00:26:04,350 --> 00:25:59,800 challenging it was to recover our mops 627 00:26:06,510 --> 00:26:04,360 and continue the space law sure and and 628 00:26:08,340 --> 00:26:06,520 that's actually a good case for me to 629 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:08,350 have on console because I used to set at 630 00:26:13,950 --> 00:26:11,290 the Robo council so my robotics officer 631 00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:13,960 and I were pretty much in sync there in 632 00:26:17,490 --> 00:26:16,150 reality whenever we go out and do a 633 00:26:19,170 --> 00:26:17,500 spacewalk where we're going to put a 634 00:26:21,660 --> 00:26:19,180 crew member on the arm we always have 635 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:21,670 both work stations ready to go so in 636 00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:24,490 this case the discussion really was a 637 00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:27,370 trade space between it's going to take 638 00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:31,120 my robotics officer about 15 to 20 639 00:26:36,510 --> 00:26:33,550 minutes to reboot the workstation in the 640 00:26:38,790 --> 00:26:36,520 cupola the other option air is that she 641 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:38,800 could bring up the robotics workstation 642 00:26:42,419 --> 00:26:40,330 in the lab with one 643 00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:42,429 command to take it from a backup state 644 00:26:46,380 --> 00:26:44,799 where we had it ready to go and make it 645 00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:46,390 an active workstation with a single 646 00:26:50,730 --> 00:26:48,240 command so that that would just take her 647 00:26:53,159 --> 00:26:50,740 however many seconds that is to send a 648 00:26:54,750 --> 00:26:53,169 command of the vehicle or take about 15 649 00:26:56,610 --> 00:26:54,760 to 20 minutes to bring up the cupola 650 00:26:59,630 --> 00:26:56,620 workstation the flip side of that 651 00:27:01,889 --> 00:26:59,640 equation is that the crew has a lot of 652 00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:01,899 ancillary equipment that they usually 653 00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:04,000 have scattered around the workstation to 654 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:05,710 be doing robotics ops they've got all 655 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:07,690 their books and they've got various 656 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:10,240 space station support computers and 657 00:27:16,259 --> 00:27:13,450 they've got cameras and and notes and 658 00:27:18,210 --> 00:27:16,269 whatnot and calm configs so if they 659 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:18,220 stayed at the cupola all that could stay 660 00:27:21,570 --> 00:27:19,450 with them and then it would take us 661 00:27:24,509 --> 00:27:21,580 about 15-20 minutes to reboot the stack 662 00:27:26,070 --> 00:27:24,519 or reboot the station or they could go 663 00:27:27,450 --> 00:27:26,080 down to the lab work station where the 664 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:27,460 work station would be ready to go but 665 00:27:30,810 --> 00:27:28,480 they'd have to transfer all that 666 00:27:33,539 --> 00:27:30,820 equipment so what they elected to do we 667 00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:33,549 can add Stan love my Capcom call up with 668 00:27:38,159 --> 00:27:35,110 that question they elected to just 669 00:27:41,009 --> 00:27:38,169 transfer down to the lab work station to 670 00:27:43,049 --> 00:27:41,019 finish the activities today because they 671 00:27:45,149 --> 00:27:43,059 didn't really get any advantage out the 672 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:45,159 out the window views so they took all 673 00:27:49,409 --> 00:27:46,570 their equipment down to the lab work 674 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:49,419 station and it was about 15 minutes 15 675 00:27:55,529 --> 00:27:51,250 20 minutes either way we either way we 676 00:27:58,289 --> 00:27:55,539 spaced it we made sure artan and Melanie 677 00:28:00,990 --> 00:27:58,299 and I were talking and off the off the 678 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:01,000 loops there at the end of getting all 679 00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:03,490 that booted back up to see if steve 680 00:28:08,070 --> 00:28:05,289 bowen wanted us to go ahead and reclose 681 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:08,080 the snares on the poha so we could take 682 00:28:11,610 --> 00:28:09,610 it away from him for a little while let 683 00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:11,620 him let him relax and he said he was 684 00:28:16,259 --> 00:28:14,110 fine he just wanted to press so from 685 00:28:18,450 --> 00:28:16,269 that point forward we continue to open 686 00:28:24,029 --> 00:28:18,460 the snares and took the arm put the pump 687 00:28:27,899 --> 00:28:24,039 module back work long I just a real 688 00:28:30,919 --> 00:28:27,909 quick follow-up you know in the cupola 689 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:30,929 you have that great panoramic view 690 00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:34,320 around the outside of the station in 691 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:39,070 destiny I believe you have to rely on TV 692 00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:43,330 views could you comment on the the 693 00:28:50,620 --> 00:28:46,630 additional challenge of doing the rest 694 00:28:53,410 --> 00:28:50,630 of the EBA out of the Destiny lab 695 00:28:59,740 --> 00:28:53,420 and I'm wondering how both of you feel 696 00:29:02,380 --> 00:28:59,750 about the Soyuz fly around whether you 697 00:29:06,190 --> 00:29:02,390 guys individually would be go for that 698 00:29:09,910 --> 00:29:06,200 fly around ok so let me see the first 699 00:29:12,310 --> 00:29:09,920 question I'll point out that the that 700 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:12,320 the 20 a team then art happened to be 701 00:29:16,150 --> 00:29:14,690 the leader a VA officer on 20 if I 702 00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:16,160 remember correctly I worked I worked 703 00:29:20,170 --> 00:29:18,470 that mission has your over one flight 704 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:20,180 director that's where we installed the 705 00:29:27,070 --> 00:29:23,450 coop was so we got all the way from to a 706 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:27,080 way long time ago until 20 a without 707 00:29:31,090 --> 00:29:28,970 ever having those out the window view so 708 00:29:33,250 --> 00:29:31,100 we conducted a lot of EA's did a whole 709 00:29:35,020 --> 00:29:33,260 bunch of robotics activities without 710 00:29:37,330 --> 00:29:35,030 ever having the out to win the view so 711 00:29:40,180 --> 00:29:37,340 it's it's perfect perfectly feasible to 712 00:29:42,940 --> 00:29:40,190 go execute an EV a just using camera 713 00:29:46,150 --> 00:29:42,950 views and and the crews have trained 714 00:29:48,910 --> 00:29:46,160 that way in the past and we trained on 715 00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:48,920 this mission in particular for this EV a 716 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:51,110 the out the window views really don't 717 00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:52,610 give you a whole lot other than it's 718 00:29:56,620 --> 00:29:55,220 really nice for for mike and scott and 719 00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:56,630 when they were in their operating the 720 00:30:00,700 --> 00:29:58,970 RBI look the earth going by when when 721 00:30:02,650 --> 00:30:00,710 they were waiting for Steve to give them 722 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:02,660 some additional commands but they really 723 00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:04,730 couldn't see they see the ops looking 724 00:30:07,750 --> 00:30:06,080 out the windows moving them down to the 725 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:07,760 lab really didn't impact their ability 726 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:12,770 to conduct this EV a at all question 2 727 00:30:19,060 --> 00:30:15,530 how do I feel about the Soyuz fly about 728 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:19,070 you know an ops guy I'm ready to go 729 00:30:24,850 --> 00:30:21,410 execute whatever the program whatever 730 00:30:26,590 --> 00:30:24,860 the program decision is i think the the 731 00:30:29,140 --> 00:30:26,600 advantage of being able to go take those 732 00:30:31,690 --> 00:30:29,150 pictures would be would be really would 733 00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:31,700 be really good there would be some 734 00:30:35,830 --> 00:30:33,800 classic pictures that i'm sure would 735 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:35,840 turn up all over the web and all over 736 00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:38,810 yalls first reporters in here front page 737 00:30:42,610 --> 00:30:40,310 the next day and they would be beautiful 738 00:30:44,890 --> 00:30:42,620 if we decide we're not going to go do 739 00:30:47,410 --> 00:30:44,900 that i'm ready to go execute the pmm 740 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:47,420 outfitting day instead so i'm happy to 741 00:30:54,190 --> 00:30:49,250 go execute whatever the program app 742 00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:54,200 do as a DBA officer it doesn't really 743 00:30:58,300 --> 00:30:55,760 affect our system I think it would be 744 00:30:59,770 --> 00:30:58,310 great to see this fly around benim EBA 745 00:31:01,150 --> 00:30:59,780 would be go for it but there's a lot of 746 00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:01,160 other people that have a say in this 747 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:13,930 okay I say that Todd yeah Kelly that's 748 00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:17,690 it thanks okay and back here at JSC I've 749 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:19,220 got a couple questions Denise you want 750 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:24,170 to start out Denise Chow it's based com 751 00:31:28,150 --> 00:31:26,810 a question for art with stevo and having 752 00:31:29,890 --> 00:31:28,160 only about a month to prepare for the 753 00:31:31,450 --> 00:31:29,900 EBA just wonder if you can comment on 754 00:31:32,710 --> 00:31:31,460 how challenging it is for an astronaut 755 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:32,720 to jump into something like that and 756 00:31:37,570 --> 00:31:34,970 pick up choreography for two of the VA's 757 00:31:39,070 --> 00:31:37,580 in a relatively short time yeah and we 758 00:31:41,020 --> 00:31:39,080 typically have about 10 months of 759 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:41,030 training to get ready and usually the 760 00:31:44,890 --> 00:31:42,530 crew members its assigned to this flight 761 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:44,900 will help develop the task all along the 762 00:31:49,660 --> 00:31:47,210 way and get things the way that he likes 763 00:31:51,850 --> 00:31:49,670 them in this case Tim helped develop 764 00:31:54,310 --> 00:31:51,860 those those EVs all along the way we 765 00:31:57,310 --> 00:31:54,320 were ready to go and when steve coming 766 00:31:59,680 --> 00:31:57,320 in late he really had to rely on Tim and 767 00:32:02,770 --> 00:31:59,690 his expertise to really explain how he 768 00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:02,780 performed each task specifically so i 769 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:06,080 think because steve just flew on 132 and 770 00:32:10,060 --> 00:32:08,090 he has a lot of experience CBA's very 771 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:10,070 talented EV a crew member and because of 772 00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:12,170 tim's hard work that he's put in that 773 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:13,760 combination allowed this to be a success 774 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:21,770 today anything else in the back 775 00:32:25,030 --> 00:32:23,450 actually since you're going that way 776 00:32:27,610 --> 00:32:25,040 lunch go ahead and that's marking I'm 777 00:32:29,470 --> 00:32:27,620 going home hey thanks mark row for 778 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:29,480 aviation week I think I got a quick 779 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:34,130 question had to do with the pmm ops and 780 00:32:39,940 --> 00:32:36,770 I'm just seeking some clarification said 781 00:32:41,380 --> 00:32:39,950 moving material from there to the HTV 782 00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:41,390 and I wondered if you were talking about 783 00:32:46,810 --> 00:32:44,750 like packing material or trash or 784 00:32:50,050 --> 00:32:46,820 something you'd really just not want to 785 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:50,060 take up volume on the station yeah great 786 00:32:56,170 --> 00:32:51,410 question and we're not getting that's 787 00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:56,180 all of the all of the packing there's a 788 00:33:03,430 --> 00:32:58,730 launch restraint equipment there's foam 789 00:33:06,730 --> 00:33:03,440 there's there was a video running around 790 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:06,740 out there that that involved what all 791 00:33:10,510 --> 00:33:09,050 packing went around Robonaut for example 792 00:33:12,670 --> 00:33:10,520 and that's a considerable amount of 793 00:33:16,030 --> 00:33:12,680 stuff that we don't actually that we 794 00:33:19,390 --> 00:33:16,040 absolutely need to protect that very 795 00:33:21,970 --> 00:33:19,400 sensitive electronics and hardware for 796 00:33:25,060 --> 00:33:21,980 the the forces that we see coming off 797 00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:25,070 the pad but once we get it in orbit all 798 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:27,710 that stuff is really just in the way so 799 00:33:32,170 --> 00:33:30,770 so once we get Robonaut out eventuate 800 00:33:34,810 --> 00:33:32,180 and we're not going to impact Robonaut 801 00:33:36,430 --> 00:33:34,820 and just using that as an example but so 802 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:36,440 there's a lot of launch equipment and 803 00:33:40,540 --> 00:33:38,450 foam and various other pieces of 804 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:40,550 hardware in the pmm that were just there 805 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:43,130 in order to be able to take the pmm 806 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:45,290 uphill that we no longer need so we can 807 00:33:49,450 --> 00:33:47,090 get some of that out and start 808 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:49,460 transferring over the HTV so all the 809 00:33:53,260 --> 00:33:52,130 packaging that that came up with a 810 00:33:58,370 --> 00:33:53,270 vehicle that's what I'm talking about 811 00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:01,170 Philips lost with NASA Space Flight calm 812 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,420 I think for art to follow on Denise's 813 00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:06,960 question a little bit can you talk about 814 00:34:13,050 --> 00:34:09,910 the advantage to your team today to have 815 00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:13,060 Tim in the control center to help to 816 00:34:17,010 --> 00:34:14,830 help go through the you know a couple of 817 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:17,020 hiccups that you had during the EBA I 818 00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:18,970 think it was a huge advantage to have 819 00:34:23,910 --> 00:34:20,560 Tim we kind of talked about this earlier 820 00:34:25,890 --> 00:34:23,920 as a team that Tim's kind of the alter 821 00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:25,900 ego of Steve in some ways that he has a 822 00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:27,310 lot of the pieces that we've seen in 823 00:34:31,980 --> 00:34:28,960 training that Steve didn't have time to 824 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:31,990 see and so when we ran into a few off 825 00:34:35,850 --> 00:34:34,570 nominal situations Tim had seen this 826 00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:35,860 type of thing in the pool and just had a 827 00:34:39,090 --> 00:34:37,270 little more experience and he was able 828 00:34:40,740 --> 00:34:39,100 to help Steve along with everything so 829 00:34:42,750 --> 00:34:40,750 yeah I think it's a huge help to have 830 00:34:46,790 --> 00:34:42,760 Tim and in this situation it was the 831 00:34:49,710 --> 00:34:46,800 perfect way to handle it Thanks and I 832 00:34:52,470 --> 00:34:49,720 throw on there also that the tim kopra 833 00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:52,480 is just an outstanding guy he really is 834 00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:55,750 I liked him a lot he's he's worked 835 00:35:00,180 --> 00:34:58,330 really hard to make sure that Steve bow 836 00:35:01,620 --> 00:35:00,190 and ready to go execute these e VA I 837 00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:01,630 can't say enough good things about Tim 838 00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:10,110 ok any further questions ok well that 839 00:35:15,060 --> 00:35:12,070 sounds like we're about radius in this 840 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:15,070 briefing just a couple of programming 841 00:35:20,460 --> 00:35:17,650 notes for you coming up overnight on 842 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:20,470 NASA TV at eight o'clock central time 843 00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:23,530 we'll have today's video file and then 844 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:25,300 coming out after that at nine p.m. 845 00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:27,370 central time we'll have the day's flight
