1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:02,929 good morning and welcome back to NASA's 2 00:00:06,349 --> 00:00:04,410 Johnson Space Center we're having our 3 00:00:09,740 --> 00:00:06,359 missions des briefing for flight day 10 4 00:00:11,629 --> 00:00:09,750 of the sts-134 space shuttle mission to 5 00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:11,639 the international space station so we'll 6 00:00:15,410 --> 00:00:13,230 talk about the spacewalk that occurred 7 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:15,420 overnight and to do that we have the 8 00:00:19,250 --> 00:00:17,310 lead International Space Station flight 9 00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:19,260 director for the mission Derek Hoffman 10 00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:22,500 and the lead spacewalk officer Allison 11 00:00:26,929 --> 00:00:24,449 Bolinger so we'll turn it over for 12 00:00:28,099 --> 00:00:26,939 comments and then take questions okay 13 00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:28,109 thanks Kylie and good morning everybody 14 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:30,900 well another great day in Mission 15 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:32,850 Control and on the space station the 16 00:00:37,970 --> 00:00:35,130 Space Shuttle Endeavor it's good to have 17 00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:37,980 EBA three behind us the EBA went went 18 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:41,040 really really well you know after a VA 19 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:43,010 one and two and and a number of 20 00:00:47,779 --> 00:00:45,450 relatively minor issues but but issues 21 00:00:49,610 --> 00:00:47,789 that represented challenges and slowed 22 00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:49,620 us down a little but it was really 23 00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:52,020 gratifying today to see the crew in the 24 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:54,140 early part of the EBA get ahead and then 25 00:01:00,349 --> 00:00:57,570 finish strong and complete all the plant 26 00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:00,359 ask for EV a 3 in a dish in addition to 27 00:01:04,039 --> 00:01:02,520 one get ahead task which Allison will 28 00:01:06,289 --> 00:01:04,049 talk to you about and this was a good 29 00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:06,299 add task that was literally identified 30 00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:09,900 in the last 24 hours so very proud of 31 00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:11,790 the ground team again very proud of the 32 00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:13,439 crew another demonstration just how well 33 00:01:18,530 --> 00:01:16,590 well trained the crew has been and al 34 00:01:21,859 --> 00:01:18,540 well that ground team can go execute the 35 00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:21,869 plan the other unique part about this EV 36 00:01:26,179 --> 00:01:24,299 a was that we used a new pre-breathe 37 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:26,189 protocol to get the the spacewalk and 38 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:29,490 crew ready to go outside and if you 39 00:01:32,569 --> 00:01:31,170 recall from the previous briefings it's 40 00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:32,579 called the insuit light exercise 41 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:34,470 protocol the big difference being that 42 00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:36,570 we don't it doesn't require an overnight 43 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:38,790 camp out on the airlock and I told you 44 00:01:44,450 --> 00:01:42,570 that we would evaluate how that that 45 00:01:47,139 --> 00:01:44,460 protocol went after the the end of the 46 00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:47,149 EBA and then make a decision on TV a 4 47 00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:50,310 immediately filin TVA the spacewalk and 48 00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:53,340 crew had a private tag up with the 49 00:01:57,319 --> 00:01:55,860 flight surgeon and the flight surgeon 50 00:02:00,980 --> 00:01:57,329 reported that there was no medical 51 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:00,990 issues whatsoever no symptoms no issues 52 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:03,450 no difference whatsoever from camp out 53 00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:06,570 previous camp outs or from exercise pre 54 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:08,910 breeze so he gave the crew a clean bill 55 00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:11,610 of health and then the crew had nothing 56 00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:13,190 but positive feedback about the 57 00:02:18,970 --> 00:02:16,100 call in addition Allison and I and her 58 00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:18,980 team had a had a tag up to talk more 59 00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:20,360 about the nuts and bolts of the ebas 60 00:02:23,980 --> 00:02:22,310 during that tag up we talked about the 61 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:23,990 procedures that we use to execute the 62 00:02:30,490 --> 00:02:27,410 aisle protocol and and again the the 63 00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:30,500 crew was very positive no surprises no 64 00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:33,680 hiccups no changes required and they 65 00:02:37,630 --> 00:02:35,840 really loved the simplicity of the 66 00:02:40,990 --> 00:02:37,640 protocol the fact that it doesn't 67 00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:41,000 require as much time on on the oxygen 68 00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:43,340 masks it doesn't require the overnight 69 00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:45,740 campout so that very very positive 70 00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:49,550 feedback however having said all that we 71 00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:51,920 have made the decision on ebay for not 72 00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:53,540 to use the out protocol we're going to 73 00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:55,400 go with the standard campout protocol 74 00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:57,320 and I want to take a little time to 75 00:03:02,620 --> 00:02:59,450 explain that to you so it's so it's 76 00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:02,630 clear to everybody one difference 77 00:03:08,350 --> 00:03:05,630 between camp out and the aisle protocol 78 00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:08,360 is the time that the crew has on their 79 00:03:13,660 --> 00:03:11,180 lithium hydroxide canisters are the the 80 00:03:15,790 --> 00:03:13,670 casters in the suits that scrub co2 so 81 00:03:18,370 --> 00:03:15,800 if you look at a campout protocol when 82 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:18,380 when the crew goes out the door vice the 83 00:03:23,140 --> 00:03:20,090 aisle protocol when the crew goes out 84 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:23,150 the door there is 40 minutes more time 85 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:25,370 on the layout canisters with the aisle 86 00:03:29,860 --> 00:03:28,610 protocol as compared to camp out so big 87 00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:29,870 picture when the crew goes out the door 88 00:03:33,610 --> 00:03:31,790 with aisle they have 40 minutes less 89 00:03:36,370 --> 00:03:33,620 capability on that carbon dioxide 90 00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:36,380 scrubbing canister so that that's one 91 00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:39,470 consideration and with tip with a 92 00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:42,830 typical I'll canister we can in a plan 6 93 00:03:48,370 --> 00:03:45,800 30 e VA we can accept that that 40 94 00:03:50,350 --> 00:03:48,380 minutes of additional usage on the 95 00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:50,360 layout can when we go out the door but 96 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:53,630 you'll recall that on e VA for Mike 97 00:03:57,490 --> 00:03:55,370 Veeck is going to be ev1 so he'll be the 98 00:04:00,670 --> 00:03:57,500 lead spacewalker and Greg Shama top is 99 00:04:02,979 --> 00:04:00,680 going to be ev2 on EV a1 shamit off at 100 00:04:05,710 --> 00:04:02,989 an issue with the co2 sensor after that 101 00:04:08,830 --> 00:04:05,720 after that e vai talked about the the 102 00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:08,840 rules that require us to deduct ly o 103 00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:11,870 capability when you have that co2 sensor 104 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:14,390 problem so you know regardless of how 105 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:16,130 the lithium hydroxide canisters 106 00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:18,769 performing when we had that co2 sensor 107 00:04:23,290 --> 00:04:20,870 problem we are required to assume less 108 00:04:24,460 --> 00:04:23,300 capacity so when you look at the 40 109 00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:24,470 minutes associated with the aisle 110 00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:26,320 pre-breathe protocol 111 00:04:30,690 --> 00:04:28,150 combine that with the possible impacts 112 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:30,700 of the co2 sensor it would reduce the 113 00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:33,010 capacity of Greg suit to the point that 114 00:04:38,490 --> 00:04:35,500 we might not be able to conduct a 630 e 115 00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:38,500 VA so those are the pieces that went in 116 00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:40,540 a decision not to do I alon DBA for and 117 00:04:46,050 --> 00:04:43,300 I just want to emphasize that you know 118 00:04:47,610 --> 00:04:46,060 medically procedurally and quality of 119 00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:47,620 life of the crew I was a complete 120 00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:49,900 success and I would expect that it's 121 00:04:56,610 --> 00:04:51,670 going to be the EV a choice on future 122 00:04:59,460 --> 00:04:56,620 ebas as a matter of fact I know the Ulf 123 00:05:01,460 --> 00:04:59,470 7 the 135 folks are planning that as 124 00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:01,470 their baseline for their single e VA so 125 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:04,480 from all perspectives isles was aya was 126 00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:08,530 a complete success ani ba three and with 127 00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:09,820 that I'll hand over to Allison to talk 128 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:11,590 about the details of the spectacular 129 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:14,110 space walk today all right thanks a lot 130 00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:16,240 Derek I like dark mention dial was a 131 00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:18,790 huge success this morning I say this 132 00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:20,110 morning but i guess it was actually last 133 00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:22,120 night it seems like morning to me my 134 00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:24,160 team actually got on console a little 135 00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:25,840 bit early last night to be able to watch 136 00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:27,790 the slow-motion hokey pokey and action 137 00:05:31,170 --> 00:05:29,380 for real and it was it was really 138 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:31,180 fabulous to see that protocol that we 139 00:05:35,190 --> 00:05:32,650 put so much time and effort pre-flight 140 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:35,200 actually come to a reality and be 141 00:05:38,340 --> 00:05:37,210 extremely successful so with that said 142 00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:38,350 as Derek mentioned we had a very 143 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:41,200 successful EV a 3d a duration of six 144 00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:44,410 hours and 54 minutes so drew and Spanky 145 00:05:48,570 --> 00:05:46,030 worked their hearts out today and got 146 00:05:50,130 --> 00:05:48,580 all of our tasks completed plus the get 147 00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:50,140 ahead that Derek mentioned at the end of 148 00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:52,120 the VA so we started out the day with 149 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:53,470 the two crew members at the joint 150 00:05:57,540 --> 00:05:55,090 airlock where we retrieved some tool 151 00:05:59,730 --> 00:05:57,550 bags and then headed out to the port 152 00:06:02,070 --> 00:05:59,740 side of the FGB where we worked on 153 00:06:04,890 --> 00:06:02,080 setting up those bags and then removing 154 00:06:06,810 --> 00:06:04,900 some multi-layer insulation the first 155 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:06,820 kind of surprise of the day was when we 156 00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:08,590 were expecting to release five pieces of 157 00:06:11,850 --> 00:06:09,940 multi-layer insulation we actually 158 00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:11,860 discovered there are seven pieces but 159 00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:13,630 the crew handled this flawlessly they 160 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:15,070 were already planning on bundling those 161 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:17,890 those mli pieces together on a wire tie 162 00:06:21,630 --> 00:06:20,110 and then Tim stowing it on a Russian 163 00:06:23,010 --> 00:06:21,640 handrail so they just continued with the 164 00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:23,020 process and just picked up the two 165 00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:24,900 additional pieces that we were required 166 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:26,980 once they're a complete getting the work 167 00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:29,290 site prepped for the PDGF the grapple 168 00:06:33,090 --> 00:06:30,670 fixture they both headed back to the 169 00:06:35,250 --> 00:06:33,100 airlock and then retrieved the the PDGF 170 00:06:36,690 --> 00:06:35,260 and its frame and its cabling which is 171 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:36,700 all one unit from the airlock and then 172 00:06:40,020 --> 00:06:38,770 they work together two inch worm that 173 00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:40,030 assembly back 174 00:06:44,130 --> 00:06:42,670 over to the port side of the FGB we 175 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:44,140 installed that we got the three feet 176 00:06:48,030 --> 00:06:46,090 secured in soft duct and then we hand 177 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:48,040 tightened the kind of the faucet 178 00:06:51,690 --> 00:06:49,690 mechanism that I call it that they you 179 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:51,700 that faucet handle mechanism to tighten 180 00:06:56,430 --> 00:06:54,130 down those feet use the cheater bar the 181 00:06:57,780 --> 00:06:56,440 Russian that cheater bar to really lock 182 00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:57,790 those feet down and we are good to go 183 00:07:01,890 --> 00:06:59,440 then they started working on installing 184 00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:01,900 the vsc or video signal conditioner 185 00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:03,550 that's a single bolt that we installed 186 00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:05,440 and then they worked on routing the 187 00:07:09,690 --> 00:07:07,480 cables that three cables that came from 188 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:09,700 the PDGF that were installed on the VSD 189 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:11,530 and then a fourth cable that had been 190 00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:13,450 pre routed by a previous shuttle crew we 191 00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:15,670 also installed that on the vsc without 192 00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:17,260 any incident and then we installed a 193 00:07:21,030 --> 00:07:19,030 hard thermal cover that had some 194 00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:21,040 multi-layer insulation built into it we 195 00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:22,870 installed that over top of the VSD and 196 00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:24,700 then ran a Russian fixed length tether 197 00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:27,460 from the handle of that cover to the 198 00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:29,860 frame of the PDGF to help hold that hold 199 00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:31,750 that cover into place once we were 200 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:34,870 complete with the vsc install we worked 201 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:37,330 on kind of securing the PDGF work site 202 00:07:41,190 --> 00:07:39,010 and then we got started with installing 203 00:07:42,570 --> 00:07:41,200 the port why jumpers which provides the 204 00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:42,580 additional power redundancy to the 205 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:44,800 Russian segment the port why jumper 206 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:47,050 install went as we expected pre-flight 207 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:48,730 we had two connections to make on the 208 00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:51,010 node and then one connection to make on 209 00:07:55,290 --> 00:07:53,350 the FGB side we had no issues with those 210 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:55,300 once the crew is complete with those the 211 00:07:58,620 --> 00:07:56,890 ground started their work to check out 212 00:08:00,420 --> 00:07:58,630 than the new connections that we had 213 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:00,430 just made as well as put the inhibits in 214 00:08:04,530 --> 00:08:01,930 place for the starboard why jumper 215 00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:04,540 install once complete with those why 216 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:07,150 jumpers we took a tool bag and then 217 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:08,890 headed back down to the lab to finish 218 00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:11,050 that lab external wireless communication 219 00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:13,060 or ewc task that we didn't get finished 220 00:08:17,940 --> 00:08:15,760 on EV a 12 crew members got in position 221 00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:17,950 and released the three Zeus fasteners on 222 00:08:21,810 --> 00:08:19,990 the micro meteor debris shield peeled 223 00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:21,820 that shield open released some 224 00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:23,260 multi-layer insulation underneath that 225 00:08:27,060 --> 00:08:24,580 and was at that point in time that they 226 00:08:30,090 --> 00:08:27,070 coordinated with the ground to inhibit 227 00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:30,100 the space station UHF radio once that 228 00:08:33,870 --> 00:08:32,230 inhibits were in place we were able to 229 00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:33,880 still communicate with the crew using 230 00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:35,950 shuttle assets so that was good that we 231 00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:37,390 were able to maintain constant 232 00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:38,800 communication with the crew during that 233 00:08:43,770 --> 00:08:40,960 entire task while underneath that shield 234 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:43,780 they d mated to existing cables to 235 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:45,250 existing connectors and installed the 236 00:08:51,420 --> 00:08:47,770 new cable and then they work together to 237 00:08:52,350 --> 00:08:51,430 slowly close the shield it was during 238 00:08:53,819 --> 00:08:52,360 the the clue 239 00:08:55,980 --> 00:08:53,829 sure of that shield as I mentioned there 240 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:55,990 are three Zeus fasteners that hold that 241 00:08:58,680 --> 00:08:57,490 shield in place and historically we've 242 00:09:00,120 --> 00:08:58,690 had a few issues with these Zeus 243 00:09:01,949 --> 00:09:00,130 fasteners so the crew knew that these 244 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:01,959 fasteners could be tricky and we had 245 00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:04,240 also discussed quite a bit pre-flight 246 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:05,649 that only two of those three fasteners 247 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:07,630 are ultimately required in order to 248 00:09:11,970 --> 00:09:09,730 ensure that the shield is structurally 249 00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:11,980 secure so the crew members were able to 250 00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:13,390 get two of those three fasteners 251 00:09:16,530 --> 00:09:15,519 installed without any issue and they 252 00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:16,540 spent a little bit of time 253 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:18,070 troubleshooting the third fastener and 254 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:20,410 discovered that the retaining wire they 255 00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:21,910 believed that the retaining wire that it 256 00:09:24,930 --> 00:09:23,649 engages on had kind of split out of 257 00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:24,940 place and we actually had a contingency 258 00:09:29,490 --> 00:09:27,220 tool with us to help us with that task 259 00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:29,500 but we decided on the ground based on 260 00:09:32,670 --> 00:09:30,790 our pre-flight agreement that two of 261 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:32,680 three Zeus fasteners was sufficient and 262 00:09:35,579 --> 00:09:33,970 in order for us to remain on the 263 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:35,589 timeline that we would just tell the 264 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:37,600 crew thanks for the effort in a few 265 00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:39,010 extra minutes you spent on it but we're 266 00:09:41,850 --> 00:09:40,300 just going to we're just going to call 267 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:41,860 it good and press with the task and so 268 00:09:47,819 --> 00:09:44,140 the crew is happy to hear that so once 269 00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:47,829 we successfully completed that ewc cable 270 00:09:52,110 --> 00:09:49,660 install we worked on stowing the old a 271 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:52,120 whisk cable stowed that back inside the 272 00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:53,410 tool bag and then we made our way back 273 00:09:58,259 --> 00:09:56,200 to the FGB to start working on a 274 00:10:00,689 --> 00:09:58,269 starboard why jumper install it was 275 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:00,699 while the ewc task was going on that our 276 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:03,130 Falcon our power coordinator on the 277 00:10:06,509 --> 00:10:04,720 ground here was who was working with the 278 00:10:08,519 --> 00:10:06,519 the Russians informed us that we had 279 00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:08,529 made successful connections on the 280 00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:09,880 starboard side and they also had the 281 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:12,190 inhibits in place sorry successful 282 00:10:14,730 --> 00:10:13,570 connections on the port side and they 283 00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:14,740 had the inhibits in place for the 284 00:10:18,509 --> 00:10:16,510 starboard side so the crew was able just 285 00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:18,519 seamlessly to start working on that 286 00:10:21,780 --> 00:10:20,529 starboard side we had expected the 287 00:10:23,610 --> 00:10:21,790 starboard side would be a little bit 288 00:10:25,650 --> 00:10:23,620 trickier because as if you were paying 289 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:25,660 attention to the spacewalk guys spanky 290 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:27,010 mentioned the rat's nest he's like 291 00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:27,970 there's a reason they don't call it 292 00:10:31,290 --> 00:10:29,529 something nice like a bird's nest but 293 00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:31,300 they call it a rat's nest because there 294 00:10:35,939 --> 00:10:34,000 are truly quite a bit of cables in that 295 00:10:38,730 --> 00:10:35,949 area so Spanky had to spend some time 296 00:10:40,410 --> 00:10:38,740 finding the best body position to be 297 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:40,420 able to actuate the connectors that he 298 00:10:44,340 --> 00:10:42,970 was required to release but it was good 299 00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:44,350 that we were ahead in the timeline so he 300 00:10:47,189 --> 00:10:45,910 was able to spend as much time as he 301 00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:47,199 needed to get into place and he actually 302 00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:48,880 ended up calling drew over to a system 303 00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:51,160 but after persistence and you know much 304 00:10:54,150 --> 00:10:52,870 hard work he was able to successfully d 305 00:10:55,769 --> 00:10:54,160 mate the connector we needed and he 306 00:10:57,780 --> 00:10:55,779 installed the cap just like we required 307 00:11:00,000 --> 00:10:57,790 and then the rest of that cable install 308 00:11:01,579 --> 00:11:00,010 at went on without incident so I was 309 00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:01,589 very happy to see that get completed 310 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:04,480 once we were complete with that task the 311 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:05,680 crew worked on taking 312 00:11:11,010 --> 00:11:08,050 photos of the newly installed PDGF on 313 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:11,020 the FGB as well as fgb thrusters and I'm 314 00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:12,880 sure they took some other photos while 315 00:11:15,570 --> 00:11:14,140 they were while they were working on 316 00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:15,580 that they also cleaned up their tool 317 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:17,620 bags and packed those and to bring them 318 00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:19,810 back to the airlock it was at this point 319 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:21,430 in time that drew was engrossing the 320 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:23,170 airlock to stow some of the bags that we 321 00:11:27,570 --> 00:11:25,450 were complete with and also transfer his 322 00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:27,580 a digital still Evie a camera for the 323 00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:29,110 infrared evo camera that he was 324 00:11:31,980 --> 00:11:30,790 retrieving it was at this point when he 325 00:11:33,150 --> 00:11:31,990 popped out of the airlock and he 326 00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:33,160 mentioned that is that he had got 327 00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:34,240 something in his eyes and they were 328 00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:36,399 watering quite a bit and as after 329 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:38,230 speaking to him after the EV a we 330 00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:40,690 believe this was the anti-fog prior to 331 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:43,120 going out EBA each time the crew members 332 00:11:46,980 --> 00:11:45,490 apply an anti-fog solution to the inside 333 00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:46,990 of their helmet in order to prevent 334 00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:49,120 fogging and we've seen this happen a 335 00:11:52,769 --> 00:11:50,649 couple times in the past where if you're 336 00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:52,779 not careful about about buffing the 337 00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:54,520 anti-fog just the right amount that it 338 00:11:57,870 --> 00:11:56,230 can tend to flake off every once in a 339 00:11:59,699 --> 00:11:57,880 while and getting a crew members i and 340 00:12:01,440 --> 00:11:59,709 this anti fog is actually just off the 341 00:12:02,699 --> 00:12:01,450 shelf dishwashing soap so if you've ever 342 00:12:04,740 --> 00:12:02,709 had soap in your eye you know how that 343 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:04,750 feels so add reported that he had 344 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:06,130 something in his eye and it was it was 345 00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,110 burning quite a bit but it was you know 346 00:12:11,730 --> 00:12:10,720 a tiering quite a bit as well so he made 347 00:12:14,430 --> 00:12:11,740 an interesting comment that I never 348 00:12:16,199 --> 00:12:14,440 thought of before that tears in space 349 00:12:18,090 --> 00:12:16,209 don't run down your face they actually 350 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:18,100 kind of conglomerate around your 351 00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:19,450 eyeballs so he was able to use the 352 00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:20,950 valsalva device that we have in their 353 00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:23,470 helmets to help them clear their ears as 354 00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:24,760 we're depressed in the airlock he was 355 00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:26,260 able to rub as I against that valsalva 356 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:28,510 vice they'll selves a device to get that 357 00:12:32,430 --> 00:12:30,490 the tier free and then he said he was 358 00:12:33,930 --> 00:12:32,440 able to depress so he gave him as much 359 00:12:35,550 --> 00:12:33,940 time as he needed in order to say that 360 00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:35,560 he was good to go and once he informed 361 00:12:38,699 --> 00:12:37,120 us that hey you know I'm feeling a lot 362 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:38,709 better we said all right let's let's 363 00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:41,050 head out to LC three so we translated 364 00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:42,880 out to you LC three on the port side of 365 00:12:46,290 --> 00:12:44,740 the truss drew worked on getting in 366 00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:46,300 position with his body restraint tether 367 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:48,550 and then proceeded to take the infrared 368 00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:51,490 imagery of the stp h3 Vader experiment 369 00:12:54,269 --> 00:12:53,260 which was a late add to our flight so 370 00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:54,279 we're very glad that we are able to 371 00:12:58,019 --> 00:12:56,110 accommodate the DoD payload and get 372 00:13:00,150 --> 00:12:58,029 those photos so Mike even worked on 373 00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:00,160 installing mli multi-layer insulation 374 00:13:04,860 --> 00:13:02,470 cover on the grapple fixture on the gas 375 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:04,870 tank on ELC three once they're complete 376 00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:06,490 with those tasks as Derek mentioned 377 00:13:09,630 --> 00:13:07,990 actually happened well I was a sleep 378 00:13:11,940 --> 00:13:09,640 overnight we discovered that a piece of 379 00:13:14,579 --> 00:13:11,950 multi-layer insulation on the CTC or the 380 00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:14,589 cargo the cargo transport carrier which 381 00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:17,350 is another oru that we have on the ELC 382 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:18,910 that a piece of that multi-layer 383 00:13:21,570 --> 00:13:20,170 insulation to come loose and they had 384 00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:21,580 thermal concerns and that we needed to 385 00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:23,440 reinstall that multi-layer insulation so 386 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:25,360 we were able to uplink the crew a few 387 00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:27,310 pictures overnight and before we were 388 00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:28,990 even able to to understand what he was 389 00:13:32,670 --> 00:13:30,880 doing drew said it was done no big deal 390 00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:32,680 so we were able to get that get ahead 391 00:13:37,050 --> 00:13:35,350 done as well at that point time it had 392 00:13:38,790 --> 00:13:37,060 already been you know a pretty long EV a 393 00:13:40,290 --> 00:13:38,800 so we said let's let's not even discuss 394 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:40,300 any get a heads let's just work on 395 00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:42,130 getting back to the airlock so then we 396 00:13:46,890 --> 00:13:43,570 in grass and like I said it was a six 397 00:13:48,510 --> 00:13:46,900 hour and 54 minute EBA now we can answer 398 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:48,520 some questions okay we'll start here 399 00:13:55,650 --> 00:13:53,290 question Ron Perlman with 400 00:13:59,160 --> 00:13:55,660 collectspace.com with regards to the 401 00:14:00,990 --> 00:13:59,170 late ad of the Vader imagery was that an 402 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:01,000 Air Force request that came late or just 403 00:14:05,310 --> 00:14:02,290 an opportunity that presented itself 404 00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:05,320 later or how did it get added so within 405 00:14:11,310 --> 00:14:09,310 the last 24 hours it was a it was a DoD 406 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:11,320 request that actually got added before 407 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:15,010 we launched so it wasn't the CTC mli 408 00:14:18,570 --> 00:14:16,810 flap that she mentioned was the was the 409 00:14:19,950 --> 00:14:18,580 thing that we identified overnight just 410 00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:19,960 based on imagery that we've gotten from 411 00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:25,030 station we worked with the stp h3 folks 412 00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:27,670 the DoD folks probably a week before 413 00:14:31,950 --> 00:14:29,830 launch when they identified an issue you 414 00:14:33,570 --> 00:14:31,960 know basically issues with their ground 415 00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:33,580 processing had put their payload in a 416 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:34,750 position that they didn't have the 417 00:14:39,570 --> 00:14:36,490 baseline data that they needed to gather 418 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:39,580 information on orbit so by using this 419 00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:42,130 infrared photography as they change the 420 00:14:45,690 --> 00:14:44,260 modes of the payload we were able to get 421 00:14:47,790 --> 00:14:45,700 them the baseline data that they need 422 00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:47,800 they needed to have the payload be 423 00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:49,990 useful on orbit so although it was late 424 00:14:57,450 --> 00:14:52,390 it wasn't as late as the CTC mli plan 425 00:14:58,500 --> 00:14:57,460 and with regards to the 1553 cable is 426 00:15:02,640 --> 00:14:58,510 that something you're going to try for 427 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,650 on ebay for or it will be now pitched to 428 00:15:08,070 --> 00:15:04,480 him stay GBA it's still on the table for 429 00:15:14,730 --> 00:15:08,080 e VA for our orbit 3 planning team as we 430 00:15:17,340 --> 00:15:14,740 speak is talking about that Denise Chow 431 00:15:18,930 --> 00:15:17,350 its face calm um with the aisle protocol 432 00:15:20,850 --> 00:15:18,940 um how long was that tested on the 433 00:15:23,220 --> 00:15:20,860 ground before you decided to try it this 434 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:23,230 time around oh how long did you know I'm 435 00:15:26,610 --> 00:15:24,730 I truthfully I don't know how long it 436 00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:26,620 was tested I know that dr. Hearn hard 437 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:27,910 was an astronaut who's been working on 438 00:15:31,950 --> 00:15:30,490 and almost all that the EV a pre-brief 439 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:31,960 protocols has been working on this I'll 440 00:15:34,610 --> 00:15:32,250 pro 441 00:15:36,020 --> 00:15:34,620 for quite a few years now so it's been 442 00:15:39,050 --> 00:15:36,030 tested for why I know they did extensive 443 00:15:40,580 --> 00:15:39,060 testing at Duke University and then also 444 00:15:44,450 --> 00:15:40,590 just to follow up so if there had been 445 00:15:47,510 --> 00:15:44,460 no issue with tomtom co2 sensor in EV a1 446 00:15:49,210 --> 00:15:47,520 it would be a decision to use it for the 447 00:15:54,950 --> 00:15:49,220 4th thumb and final a spacewalk 448 00:15:57,340 --> 00:15:54,960 absolutely any other questions here well 449 00:16:03,920 --> 00:15:57,350 I go to the fridge then I'm Marcia been 450 00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:03,930 hi can hear me hi can you hear me yes we 451 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:07,830 can yes first question for Alison thank 452 00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:09,810 you for all those spacewalk details I 453 00:16:15,950 --> 00:16:13,070 couldn't catch the type of device that 454 00:16:17,630 --> 00:16:15,960 true voice so used to rub his eye with 455 00:16:19,390 --> 00:16:17,640 you said it so fast there could you tell 456 00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:19,400 me what that is and I have a follow-up 457 00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:21,660 ok this is sorry about that I do talk 458 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:24,120 fast it's a valsalva device so i think 459 00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:25,530 they call it a vile saw the maneuver 460 00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:27,870 when you try to clear your ears and so 461 00:16:33,650 --> 00:16:31,500 it looks kind of it's a foam block that 462 00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:33,660 they adhere to the inside of their visor 463 00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:35,310 and then if they have issues clearing 464 00:16:37,850 --> 00:16:36,510 their ears normally if you're in an 465 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:37,860 airplane you have issues you just pinch 466 00:16:40,940 --> 00:16:39,570 your nose this kind of serves the same 467 00:16:43,010 --> 00:16:40,950 purpose where you can just kind of wed 468 00:16:45,050 --> 00:16:43,020 your nose down into the valsalva device 469 00:16:46,490 --> 00:16:45,060 to clear your ears so he was able to 470 00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:46,500 actually wiggle down low enough in his 471 00:16:50,930 --> 00:16:48,089 suit that he could rub his eye on that 472 00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:50,940 valsalva device oh thank you and a 473 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:53,940 question for Derek please I'm just 474 00:16:59,840 --> 00:16:56,970 wondering what the status is if to your 475 00:17:02,360 --> 00:16:59,850 knowledge of the post undog pictures 476 00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:02,370 that the Soyuz took there's some rumors 477 00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:04,079 on the internet about how that that 478 00:17:08,270 --> 00:17:06,510 digital pictures may have been lost I'm 479 00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:08,280 just wanted looking for a status on what 480 00:17:12,439 --> 00:17:10,470 you know about it I thought that 481 00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:12,449 question might come up so I got a status 482 00:17:20,059 --> 00:17:15,360 before I came in here and the the 483 00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:20,069 imagery from the 25's photographs are on 484 00:17:23,870 --> 00:17:22,230 the Soyuz still in the Soyuz and they'll 485 00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:23,880 be transported to Moscow with all the 486 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:25,680 other return cargo and they'll be 487 00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:28,170 processed as part of that cargo my 488 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:30,030 understanding is that will have access 489 00:17:36,410 --> 00:17:33,570 to the imagery in about a week thank you 490 00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:36,420 to your knowledge it's safe inside the 491 00:17:41,549 --> 00:17:38,040 so you still no reason to believe that 492 00:17:46,210 --> 00:17:41,559 it got lost or damaged that's correct 493 00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:46,220 next on the line is marker oh yeah I had 494 00:17:54,610 --> 00:17:50,030 a question about the PDGF and I wondered 495 00:18:01,570 --> 00:17:54,620 how you imagined it might be used with 496 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:01,580 the space station hello in terms of the 497 00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:07,730 FGB PDGF mark one example is you know 498 00:18:12,210 --> 00:18:09,590 there-there's scenarios in which we 499 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:12,220 would relocate the pmm and the folks 500 00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:15,890 analyzing that that operation think that 501 00:18:22,930 --> 00:18:18,590 that fgb PDGF might be an ideal base for 502 00:18:26,190 --> 00:18:22,940 the SS rms to do that p mm relocate it 503 00:18:28,810 --> 00:18:26,200 also gives us access we don't have now 504 00:18:31,450 --> 00:18:28,820 two areas on the aft end of the segment 505 00:18:33,310 --> 00:18:31,460 on the on f10 and the station on the 506 00:18:35,020 --> 00:18:33,320 Russian segment so it gives us some 507 00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:35,030 flexibility and some additional reach 508 00:18:40,890 --> 00:18:37,960 with the space station robotic arm 509 00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:40,900 thanks very much and this is the only 510 00:18:46,810 --> 00:18:43,580 PDGF on the Russian segment or is there 511 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:46,820 another this will be the only PDGF on 512 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:50,690 the Russian segment thank you next is 513 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,650 Charles Atkinson the afternoon can you 514 00:18:59,680 --> 00:18:56,480 discuss the communication issue which 515 00:19:04,930 --> 00:18:59,690 pilot Johnson spoke of post UVA related 516 00:19:06,669 --> 00:19:04,940 to the quest airlock I'll have to check 517 00:19:08,860 --> 00:19:06,679 and see exactly what issue we discussed 518 00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:08,870 I may have been doing a hand over her 519 00:19:13,630 --> 00:19:11,750 off console so I am not aware of any 520 00:19:16,899 --> 00:19:13,640 communication issue that occurred today 521 00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:16,909 I know in our communication with the 522 00:19:21,970 --> 00:19:18,710 astronauts throughout the day was good 523 00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:21,980 there's times when just due to satellite 524 00:19:25,899 --> 00:19:23,870 coverage we switch back and forth 525 00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:25,909 between the space station loops and the 526 00:19:31,210 --> 00:19:29,360 and the shuttle communication loops but 527 00:19:32,529 --> 00:19:31,220 i'm certainly not aware of any any 528 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,539 failure that occurred today that 529 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:34,640 affected our ability to conduct the 530 00:19:39,940 --> 00:19:38,330 spacewalk which was a calm issue that 531 00:19:44,169 --> 00:19:39,950 Johnson spoke but between a bleak 532 00:19:46,419 --> 00:19:44,179 endeavor and the airlock it was a bit of 533 00:19:49,450 --> 00:19:46,429 chatter on it by post deviate between 534 00:19:51,549 --> 00:19:49,460 Harbaugh Johnson and those who might 535 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:51,559 that they were unsure how to resolve it 536 00:20:03,720 --> 00:19:54,650 or what to fix the issue okay I concern 537 00:20:12,220 --> 00:20:08,140 todd halvorson floated today Derek I 538 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:12,230 heard you mention that there was an EBA 539 00:20:19,690 --> 00:20:17,330 a single EV a planned on sts-135 and 540 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:19,700 I've been under the mistaken impression 541 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:22,370 that there were no EVs on that mission 542 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:24,890 could you tell me when that got one got 543 00:20:31,180 --> 00:20:28,370 added and what the content is if you 544 00:20:33,550 --> 00:20:31,190 know thanks yeah I'm not the right guy 545 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:33,560 to ask that question all right honestly 546 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:39,530 I'm not for me with the timeline just to 547 00:20:47,140 --> 00:20:41,450 follow real quickly though there is a 548 00:20:50,650 --> 00:20:47,150 EBA on 135 so the 4th EBA on 134 will 549 00:20:56,950 --> 00:20:50,660 not be the last in the shuttle program 550 00:20:59,470 --> 00:20:56,960 thanks and the dba's plan for sts-135 551 00:21:01,720 --> 00:20:59,480 will be conducted by the increment crew 552 00:21:06,130 --> 00:21:01,730 members on board they won't be conducted 553 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:06,140 by the space shuttle astronauts ok so 554 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:12,650 the 40 VA on sts-134 will in fact be the 555 00:21:17,050 --> 00:21:15,050 one last ones conducted by space shuttle 556 00:21:20,260 --> 00:21:17,060 astronauts is that correct that is 557 00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:20,270 correct thanks very much that's all I 558 00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:25,370 have ok bill Harwood thanks I got to one 559 00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:27,380 quick follow tomorrow's question for 560 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:30,470 Derek is there a a specific job that the 561 00:21:35,230 --> 00:21:32,930 PDGF on Azaria is being put there for is 562 00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:35,240 it just simply in case it's needed down 563 00:21:40,510 --> 00:21:38,720 the road it's both the one specific 564 00:21:43,290 --> 00:21:40,520 thing that they're looking at using that 565 00:21:46,330 --> 00:21:43,300 PDGF for is a future pmm relocation 566 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:46,340 beyond that it's just flexibility and 567 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:48,530 access especially when you consider the 568 00:21:53,140 --> 00:21:50,450 fact that ani ba for will leave the boom 569 00:21:57,340 --> 00:21:53,150 on station so the boom combined with SS 570 00:22:00,390 --> 00:21:57,350 RMS and that FG bfg BPD GF gives you 571 00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:00,400 reach you know up and down the station 572 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:02,960 thanks and one for either one of you i'm 573 00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:04,850 not sure what I was just I was thinking 574 00:22:07,779 --> 00:22:06,350 about this earlier today that the you 575 00:22:09,399 --> 00:22:07,789 know President Reagan 576 00:22:10,509 --> 00:22:09,409 announced the space station program back 577 00:22:13,629 --> 00:22:10,519 in nineteen eighty four twenty-seven 578 00:22:15,549 --> 00:22:13,639 years ago and you guys have now done 150 579 00:22:18,269 --> 00:22:15,559 a TVA is to put this thing together and 580 00:22:20,919 --> 00:22:18,279 it's done basically one more shuttle EPA 581 00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:20,929 do you don't even have any way of giving 582 00:22:26,229 --> 00:22:24,049 us just a sense of the capability you 583 00:22:27,820 --> 00:22:26,239 guys have spacewalk wise now that you 584 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:27,830 didn't have when this project started I 585 00:22:30,729 --> 00:22:29,210 realize that you could write a book 586 00:22:33,340 --> 00:22:30,739 about that but is there anything you 587 00:22:35,049 --> 00:22:33,350 could say in general terms about how far 588 00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:35,059 you guys have come over those last three 589 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:37,039 decades of the decision to build the 590 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:38,570 station and going and actually doing it 591 00:22:45,729 --> 00:22:43,369 thanks i can start you go yeah i mean 592 00:22:48,399 --> 00:22:45,739 that this is well before allison's time 593 00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:48,409 but i mean in i started in nineteen 594 00:22:53,379 --> 00:22:51,710 ninety as a as a thermal operations and 595 00:22:55,210 --> 00:22:53,389 resources flight control or a Thor 596 00:22:57,009 --> 00:22:55,220 flight controller on the station side 597 00:23:00,129 --> 00:22:57,019 and of course that was that was well 598 00:23:01,869 --> 00:23:00,139 before we had flown any hardware and I'm 599 00:23:05,499 --> 00:23:01,879 as i'm sure you're you're probably where 600 00:23:07,539 --> 00:23:05,509 velde you know the assembly plans for 601 00:23:09,489 --> 00:23:07,549 the station train changed dramatically 602 00:23:12,659 --> 00:23:09,499 from that nineteen ninety to ninety six 603 00:23:16,139 --> 00:23:12,669 timeframe when folks realized that that 604 00:23:18,099 --> 00:23:16,149 that the original plans just were not 605 00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:18,109 supportable in terms of the amount of 606 00:23:21,639 --> 00:23:19,849 space walks in the amount of evi hours 607 00:23:24,460 --> 00:23:21,649 it would be required so there was a 608 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:24,470 significant redesign done to make the 609 00:23:29,379 --> 00:23:26,330 the modules and the trust segments more 610 00:23:31,269 --> 00:23:29,389 module modular you know kind of plug and 611 00:23:33,099 --> 00:23:31,279 play without a lot of it assembly 612 00:23:35,259 --> 00:23:33,109 required by the space station or by the 613 00:23:37,690 --> 00:23:35,269 spacewalking astronauts but even then i 614 00:23:39,729 --> 00:23:37,700 can remember you know in the in the mid 615 00:23:41,619 --> 00:23:39,739 90s or mid to late nineties when we 616 00:23:44,049 --> 00:23:41,629 started looking at the details of the 617 00:23:46,889 --> 00:23:44,059 assembly sequence and once the design 618 00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:46,899 had been solidified and finalized that 619 00:23:50,889 --> 00:23:49,609 there was a lot of concern about the 620 00:23:52,509 --> 00:23:50,899 amount of space walk so we're going to 621 00:23:54,430 --> 00:23:52,519 have to be conducted and i remember 622 00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:54,440 there was a term called the wall of ebas 623 00:24:00,430 --> 00:23:58,369 and it was just this unbelievable step 624 00:24:02,589 --> 00:24:00,440 up in terms of the amount of task that 625 00:24:04,839 --> 00:24:02,599 we do and the number of epa's that we do 626 00:24:07,659 --> 00:24:04,849 and again as i'm sure you're aware in 627 00:24:10,180 --> 00:24:07,669 the early shuttle program a flight with 628 00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:10,190 one or two EVs was considered a pretty 629 00:24:15,339 --> 00:24:12,529 challenging mission and something that 630 00:24:17,109 --> 00:24:15,349 was going to be difficult to go do now 631 00:24:20,499 --> 00:24:17,119 with these with these station missions 632 00:24:21,010 --> 00:24:20,509 we fly today with three and four EV a's 633 00:24:22,690 --> 00:24:21,020 the know 634 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:22,700 warm and then when you when you factor 635 00:24:26,410 --> 00:24:24,410 in all the robotics that we do in the 636 00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:26,420 background including ground control 637 00:24:31,450 --> 00:24:29,150 robotics overnight between e va's i mean 638 00:24:33,370 --> 00:24:31,460 the the difference in the upgrade and 639 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:33,380 the capability is just difficult to 640 00:24:38,410 --> 00:24:35,330 quantify but just tremendous the things 641 00:24:41,260 --> 00:24:38,420 we do today if you went back mid 90s 642 00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:41,270 early 90s and talked about doing it yeah 643 00:24:45,430 --> 00:24:43,310 there's just no comparison really it is 644 00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:45,440 amazing what these guys can train the 645 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:47,150 crew to go do and it's amazing what the 646 00:24:54,490 --> 00:24:52,970 the crews can pull off these days that 647 00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:54,500 sounds like the end of the questions on 648 00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:55,760 the form bridge are there any follow-ups 649 00:25:00,640 --> 00:24:58,850 here no well go ahead and wrap up the 650 00:25:02,620 --> 00:25:00,650 briefing with a few programming notes we 651 00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:02,630 do have the videos from the solid rocket 652 00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:04,310 boosters to begin playing that on NASA 653 00:25:09,190 --> 00:25:06,080 television today so that will start at 654 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:09,200 11 a.m. central time and then the flight 655 00:25:13,870 --> 00:25:10,850 day 10 video highlights will start at 656 00:25:16,060 --> 00:25:13,880 noon we have a video file of the 657 00:25:17,770 --> 00:25:16,070 expedition 28 crew getting ready for 658 00:25:20,380 --> 00:25:17,780 their launch to the station with a 659 00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:20,390 departure to Kazakhstan that's it 1 p.m. 660 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:23,300 central time including some more replays 661 00:25:29,890 --> 00:25:26,690 of SRV of videos we have the ISIS flight 662 00:25:32,020 --> 00:25:29,900 director update at 4 45 p.m. the shuttle 663 00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:32,030 crew and station crews are scheduled to 664 00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:35,840 wake together at 656 p.m. and they'll be 665 00:25:38,830 --> 00:25:37,280 doing the late inspection overnight and 666 00:25:41,650 --> 00:25:38,840 we also have the joint crew news 667 00:25:44,170 --> 00:25:41,660 conference overnight it's at 442 a.m. 668 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:44,180 central time and just a reminder for 669 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:45,890 reporters that the phone bridge will not 670 00:25:50,170 --> 00:25:47,930 be activated during that so you need to 671 00:25:52,510 --> 00:25:50,180 be at a NASA participating center for
