1 00:00:06,450 --> 00:00:03,659 good morning and welcome to today's 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:06,460 mission status briefing with us today is 3 00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:08,890 Jerry Jason the International Space 4 00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:12,640 Station flight control director whose is 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:15,040 just coming off his orbit one shift 6 00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:18,490 Jerry thank you very much to start out 7 00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:19,750 the briefing today just kind of like to 8 00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:21,340 give you a little bit of status of how 9 00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:23,199 things are going on board today we've 10 00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:25,600 had a very successful day on orbit the 11 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:28,180 crew successfully installed the MPL em 12 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:30,970 on node to nadir port crew is running 13 00:00:34,169 --> 00:00:32,410 approximately an hour ahead of schedule 14 00:00:37,259 --> 00:00:34,179 when I left so everything's going really 15 00:00:39,149 --> 00:00:37,269 really well we only had one minor glitch 16 00:00:41,819 --> 00:00:39,159 during the entire birthing process we 17 00:00:43,829 --> 00:00:41,829 had a micro switch on one of the payload 18 00:00:46,259 --> 00:00:43,839 Bay perlas which is a payload retention 19 00:00:48,059 --> 00:00:46,269 latch failed to indicate that the perla 20 00:00:50,219 --> 00:00:48,069 was open we have a second micro switch 21 00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:50,229 that gave us the indication was open we 22 00:00:54,209 --> 00:00:52,089 can also monitor the occurrence of the 23 00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,219 motors and everything indicated that it 24 00:00:57,930 --> 00:00:56,079 was open so it had no impact to the 25 00:01:00,029 --> 00:00:57,940 timeline and we got through the birthing 26 00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:00,039 pretty much an anomaly fashion crews 27 00:01:03,779 --> 00:01:01,809 doing great they're in a good mood both 28 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:03,789 the station and the shuttle crews are 29 00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,920 doing great and the ground team is in a 30 00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:07,360 very good mood and spirits are pretty 31 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:08,830 high cuz we're having such a successful 32 00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:11,770 mission so I also wanted to cover a 33 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:13,120 couple things that probably talked about 34 00:01:17,070 --> 00:01:14,770 the last couple days one is the in 35 00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:17,080 regards to the orbital debris that we 36 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:19,150 are tracking we've gotten some updates 37 00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:22,330 since the docking yesterday and 38 00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:24,160 everything indicates that the debris is 39 00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:26,020 going to be well clear of station the 40 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:27,700 latest total missed distance was around 41 00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:30,610 18 kilometers which is well outside our 42 00:01:35,580 --> 00:01:33,100 action block so we're not going to take 43 00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:35,590 any action to move out of the way of 44 00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:37,750 this orbital debris and it should clear 45 00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:40,840 tomorrow with no issue at all secondly 46 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:45,060 we had a GPC 3 issue on the shuttle 47 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:47,890 today the crew successfully reloaded 48 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:51,250 that GPC and it is currently operational 49 00:01:57,149 --> 00:01:54,010 and is ready for use for when we undock 50 00:02:02,190 --> 00:01:57,159 and do the entry later this in later 51 00:02:04,370 --> 00:02:02,200 this week additionally we're doing well 52 00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:04,380 on the cryo margins on board the shuttle 53 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:06,640 things are looking good for an extension 54 00:02:12,119 --> 00:02:09,489 day although that official decision will 55 00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:12,129 be made by the mission management team 56 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:13,650 probably 57 00:02:22,339 --> 00:02:20,250 tomorrow or the next day Thank You Jerry 58 00:02:24,589 --> 00:02:22,349 will take questions now we'll start here 59 00:02:26,449 --> 00:02:24,599 in Houston please wait for the 60 00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:26,459 microphone and please remember to tell 61 00:02:34,729 --> 00:02:32,700 us your name and your affiliation dan 62 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:34,739 vergano with USA Today could you say a 63 00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:36,239 little bit more about what the crew is 64 00:02:43,819 --> 00:02:38,670 going to be doing today it's more than 65 00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:43,829 just schlepping bags around icing um the 66 00:02:48,589 --> 00:02:45,780 crew will be busy basically preparing 67 00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:48,599 the MP LMK when i went off console today 68 00:02:54,589 --> 00:02:51,750 they were basically leak checking the 69 00:02:57,259 --> 00:02:54,599 port that we docked to the npm to excuse 70 00:02:58,039 --> 00:02:57,269 me birth the npl m2 so there and then 71 00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,049 they're going to go ahead and do that 72 00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:00,720 outfitting we go ahead and we open up 73 00:03:05,149 --> 00:03:02,609 the hatches and we do an environment 74 00:03:07,729 --> 00:03:05,159 check make sure that the air is good in 75 00:03:11,179 --> 00:03:07,739 there and and before we actually allow 76 00:03:13,009 --> 00:03:11,189 the crew to go in and access it so the 77 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:13,019 rest of the day the crew is going to be 78 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:14,400 getting ready for the EBA tomorrow we 79 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:17,970 have our EV a tomorrow so they've been 80 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:19,290 doing their prep work to make sure that 81 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:21,810 suits are ready to go reviewing their 82 00:03:28,129 --> 00:03:24,690 procedures and doing their general prep 83 00:03:30,909 --> 00:03:28,139 work for the EBA so besides going to mpm 84 00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:30,919 ready to go is mostly working on the EBA 85 00:03:37,399 --> 00:03:35,790 Gina Gina sincerity be seniors how many 86 00:03:39,649 --> 00:03:37,409 of the crew members will be involved in 87 00:03:41,899 --> 00:03:39,659 the transfers I mean is this an 88 00:03:43,399 --> 00:03:41,909 all-hands-on-deck issue except when 89 00:03:46,610 --> 00:03:43,409 you're doing a spacewalk or anything 90 00:03:48,289 --> 00:03:46,620 else basically all the crew members at 91 00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:48,299 some point are going to be helping us do 92 00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:52,769 the transfer of the transfer and the the 93 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:55,049 pack of the MPN during the next couple 94 00:04:00,319 --> 00:03:57,599 days it is pretty much an all hands on 95 00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:00,329 deck we have about 10,000 pounds of 96 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:01,590 cargo that we need to move out of the 97 00:04:05,539 --> 00:04:03,510 NPM and then we have to move all the 98 00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:05,549 items that were returning back into the 99 00:04:09,020 --> 00:04:07,440 MPL em before we on berthoud here in the 100 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:09,030 next couple days so it's going to be a 101 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:11,040 very busy time period for and that's 102 00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:12,690 what this mission for its it's a 103 00:04:15,530 --> 00:04:14,430 utilization logistics mission and we 104 00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:15,540 want to make sure we get all that cargo 105 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:25,480 Irene Klotz with Reuters what is the 106 00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:28,250 plan for the shuttles docking node on 107 00:04:34,719 --> 00:04:31,150 the station after Atlanta sleeves oh 108 00:04:39,010 --> 00:04:34,729 you're referring to the PMA the PMA yeah 109 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:39,020 3 the PMA 3 is designed for the orbiter 110 00:04:43,570 --> 00:04:41,210 docking system so after that we're 111 00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:43,580 essentially just going to we're not 112 00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:44,479 going to be docking to it anymore 113 00:04:47,650 --> 00:04:46,280 because we don't have a compatible 114 00:04:50,589 --> 00:04:47,660 docking mechanism for any of our other 115 00:04:52,180 --> 00:04:50,599 visiting vehicles so we're going to take 116 00:04:54,610 --> 00:04:52,190 it and we're going to use it for storage 117 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:54,620 and we're going to that's one of the 118 00:04:58,540 --> 00:04:57,289 main challenges we have right on right 119 00:05:00,610 --> 00:04:58,550 now because we're bringing up all this 120 00:05:03,550 --> 00:05:00,620 cargo and all the other cargo vehicles 121 00:05:04,990 --> 00:05:03,560 had recently visited we need places to 122 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:05,000 put things so we're going to be putting 123 00:05:11,890 --> 00:05:09,050 some equipment in there that can be 124 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:11,900 taken down to lower temperatures that 125 00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:13,849 the PMA environment would see so it's 126 00:05:18,490 --> 00:05:15,740 going to be used for storage there's no 127 00:05:20,770 --> 00:05:18,500 plans to attach anything else to it that 128 00:05:25,930 --> 00:05:20,780 could be used for another vehicle at any 129 00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:25,940 point not at this time the apts are the 130 00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:27,919 ODS the orbiter docking system isn't 131 00:05:34,409 --> 00:05:30,320 compatible with any other docking system 132 00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:34,419 whether it's a Soyuz progress atv HTV 133 00:05:38,529 --> 00:05:37,039 and my understanding is neither neither 134 00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:38,539 the Cygnus or the orbital vehicles will 135 00:05:42,909 --> 00:05:40,639 talk to that and not just a real quick 136 00:05:47,620 --> 00:05:42,919 is it correct to call what you did with 137 00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:47,630 GP c 3 a reboot we call it an IPL which 138 00:05:52,149 --> 00:05:49,520 is an initial program load but we're 139 00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:52,159 basically taking the software that 140 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:53,840 resides what's called on the mass memory 141 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:55,280 unit which would be like a hard drive 142 00:06:00,010 --> 00:05:57,490 and taking that information and 143 00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:00,020 reloading it so it's more like a real a 144 00:06:03,899 --> 00:06:02,120 little evoo and the last question I had 145 00:06:06,459 --> 00:06:03,909 is on before every shuttle launch 146 00:06:08,290 --> 00:06:06,469 there's a risk assessment for orbital 147 00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:08,300 debris for shuttle do you have that for 148 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:11,960 station as well and has that what is it 149 00:06:16,659 --> 00:06:15,409 what is it currently I think that let me 150 00:06:18,969 --> 00:06:16,669 make sure that I understand the question 151 00:06:21,370 --> 00:06:18,979 you're asking if we're overall do we do 152 00:06:24,939 --> 00:06:21,380 a risk assessment for the total debris 153 00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:24,949 in there the for shuttle there's a risk 154 00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:28,070 of a you know catastrophic failure due 155 00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:31,110 to debris impact orbital debris impact 156 00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:33,750 300 and something I don't know what it 157 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:35,910 is exactly permission but I was just 158 00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:38,400 curious if there is a similar risk 159 00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:41,360 assessment for overall probability of 160 00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:44,310 station risk I know we do risk 161 00:06:47,330 --> 00:06:45,470 assessments and we're constantly 162 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:47,340 re-evaluating that and we do the risk 163 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:49,890 assessments continuously as the orbital 164 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:52,290 debris environment changes I do not have 165 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:54,930 the number right now but I'll work to 166 00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:56,730 get you that number and find out what it 167 00:07:01,100 --> 00:06:59,280 is for station but I know it's it's a 168 00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:01,110 variable number based on how the 169 00:07:12,470 --> 00:07:10,190 Denise Chow at space com earlier I think 170 00:07:14,210 --> 00:07:12,480 it was said that when land has docked at 171 00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:14,220 the station it may have helped boost 172 00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:16,680 station out of the way of this orbital 173 00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:18,360 debris could you explain a bit about how 174 00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:20,670 that works um actually I think it was 175 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:22,230 the the other way around i think the 176 00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:24,780 original concern was that because the 177 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:26,310 way that we were docking would actually 178 00:07:32,450 --> 00:07:30,000 push us a little bit closer to the to 179 00:07:35,770 --> 00:07:32,460 the debris so obviously when you you 180 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:35,780 take a take the station in its holding a 181 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:38,970 certain attitude certain orbit and you 182 00:07:43,970 --> 00:07:41,730 take the shuttle which is a very big 183 00:07:46,850 --> 00:07:43,980 object and kind of bump it into it it's 184 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:46,860 going to give it a change in the Delta 185 00:07:52,370 --> 00:07:48,330 velocity a little which impacts 186 00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,380 our overall dell altitude so after we 187 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:54,240 had a couple orbits after docking to 188 00:07:59,900 --> 00:07:56,810 evaluate essentially our new trajectory 189 00:08:01,550 --> 00:07:59,910 we compared it to the orbital Tabriz 190 00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:01,560 directory and make sure that we're we 191 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:03,960 were cleared so did I answer your 192 00:08:12,470 --> 00:08:07,410 question thank you do we have additional 193 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:12,480 questions here in Houston is Dan just to 194 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:14,130 follow up on that and do you have an 195 00:08:18,140 --> 00:08:15,840 idea how big the Delta V was from that 196 00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:18,150 and is it the actual bumping that's 197 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:19,560 doing it or is it changing the center of 198 00:08:23,540 --> 00:08:21,690 the mass somehow adjust the trajectory 199 00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:23,550 you know for the combined station is 200 00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:26,310 shuttle my understanding it's the way 201 00:08:30,470 --> 00:08:27,780 you're actually correct it's actually 202 00:08:32,690 --> 00:08:30,480 both we actually do change the CG of it 203 00:08:34,969 --> 00:08:32,700 because you're putting the or on the end 204 00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:34,979 of it and as far as the actual Delta V 205 00:08:37,649 --> 00:08:36,690 I'd had to go ask my my specialist that 206 00:08:39,409 --> 00:08:37,659 question but I 207 00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:39,419 but I think it's a combination about 208 00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:44,500 Gina Gina sincere ABC News are you going 209 00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:46,060 to keep the space station at this high 210 00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:49,600 in orbit I mean long-term yeah that's 211 00:08:55,079 --> 00:08:52,750 the goal is to keep it in about that 300 212 00:09:00,689 --> 00:08:55,089 range would you explain that a little 213 00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:00,699 bit for me there is a it all goes into 214 00:09:05,790 --> 00:09:04,000 the evaluation of the vehicles that 215 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:05,800 we're going to have visiting in the 216 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:07,689 future and what's the optimum altitude 217 00:09:13,619 --> 00:09:11,649 for those rendevouz to a workout so we 218 00:09:16,350 --> 00:09:13,629 have progress as we have so used as I 219 00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:16,360 mentioned a TV HD vs so the program made 220 00:09:20,850 --> 00:09:18,310 an assessment on which orbits we wanted 221 00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:20,860 to fly and when you add a little bit of 222 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:22,720 a higher altitude you have a little bit 223 00:09:27,809 --> 00:09:25,360 of lesser drag on the vehicle as well so 224 00:09:30,059 --> 00:09:27,819 if we get up a little bit higher means 225 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:30,069 that we have to do less frequent reboost 226 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:32,170 so if you had a lower altitude you're 227 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:33,370 always dragging a little bit more so I 228 00:09:36,509 --> 00:09:34,689 always have to kind of bump the attitude 229 00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:36,519 a little bit so balanced with all our 230 00:09:42,090 --> 00:09:39,339 vehicle traffic and trying to save our 231 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:42,100 reboost our propulsion prop that was the 232 00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:44,610 altitude that the program said to go up 233 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:46,860 okay anything else there in Houston 234 00:09:54,269 --> 00:09:48,970 seeing no further questions here we'll 235 00:09:56,189 --> 00:09:54,279 go to Kennedy Space Center hello this is 236 00:09:58,590 --> 00:09:56,199 Marcia Dunn of the associated press with 237 00:10:00,720 --> 00:09:58,600 a few questions I just wanted to make 238 00:10:04,769 --> 00:10:00,730 sure that the net effect of the docking 239 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:04,779 yesterday actually bumped the holes both 240 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:08,399 spacecraft up just a tad is that correct 241 00:10:14,610 --> 00:10:12,730 it changed our can't say if it went up 242 00:10:17,790 --> 00:10:14,620 or down but it did change our orbit 243 00:10:20,549 --> 00:10:17,800 enough that it did not become a concern 244 00:10:23,429 --> 00:10:20,559 for the debris so taking a look at our 245 00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:23,439 new trajectory versus worthy objects 246 00:10:28,019 --> 00:10:25,480 trajectory was and when we crossed paths 247 00:10:29,340 --> 00:10:28,029 with it it's it's no longer concern the 248 00:10:31,259 --> 00:10:29,350 total miss distance as I mentioned 249 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:31,269 before is around 18 kilometers so it's 250 00:10:38,850 --> 00:10:36,250 well outside our action box thank you 251 00:10:44,429 --> 00:10:38,860 and when when it comes time to start 252 00:10:45,809 --> 00:10:44,439 unloading the MP om this afternoon how 253 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:45,819 are they going to decide what comes out 254 00:10:51,210 --> 00:10:48,250 first is it high priority items first is 255 00:10:53,699 --> 00:10:51,220 it the the containers closest to the hat 256 00:10:55,259 --> 00:10:53,709 that come out first or maybe in the back 257 00:10:56,939 --> 00:10:55,269 could you explain that a little please 258 00:11:02,730 --> 00:10:56,949 actually it's a it's a very 259 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,740 choreographed show that we do there in 260 00:11:07,290 --> 00:11:04,720 regards to the unpacking we have what is 261 00:11:09,329 --> 00:11:07,300 called a transfer list it's not only 262 00:11:11,009 --> 00:11:09,339 high priority items but what's in front 263 00:11:13,230 --> 00:11:11,019 first but also where we're going to be 264 00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:13,240 putting the items in station so we 265 00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:15,550 actually may pull items out of the front 266 00:11:19,439 --> 00:11:17,620 of the npl em temp stow it in the 267 00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:19,449 location to get to some higher priority 268 00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:22,120 items and then later on go back at those 269 00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:23,769 items that we temp stoughton locations 270 00:11:28,019 --> 00:11:25,360 and put them in various locations 271 00:11:29,460 --> 00:11:28,029 throughout so it's actually a very well 272 00:11:32,340 --> 00:11:29,470 planned out choreographed and we have 273 00:11:36,509 --> 00:11:32,350 folks that specialize just in this 274 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:36,519 transfer operation and could you run 275 00:11:39,749 --> 00:11:38,410 down a couple of the high priority items 276 00:11:42,420 --> 00:11:39,759 what are the first things that you'd 277 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:42,430 like to see out of the MP om I think 278 00:11:45,379 --> 00:11:44,170 some of them usually that some of the 279 00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:45,389 higher priority rooms are actually 280 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:47,889 regard to the crew crew preference items 281 00:11:51,150 --> 00:11:49,689 we like to make sure that we get those 282 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:51,160 first especially if the crew has been 283 00:11:54,929 --> 00:11:53,410 waiting them for them for a while so we 284 00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:54,939 usually go after crew preference items 285 00:12:01,439 --> 00:11:58,689 first I believe that was our last 286 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:01,449 question from Kennedy will go down to 287 00:12:08,309 --> 00:12:03,370 the phone bridge I believe we have todd 288 00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:08,319 halvorson on order today yeah todd 289 00:12:13,619 --> 00:12:10,990 halvorson of florida today with just a 290 00:12:19,379 --> 00:12:13,629 couple i was wondering if you could go 291 00:12:22,650 --> 00:12:19,389 over the most important content in your 292 00:12:26,369 --> 00:12:22,660 judgment in the VA tomorrow and why is 293 00:12:30,269 --> 00:12:26,379 this spacewalk important to the space 294 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:30,279 station and i have a follow okay let me 295 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:32,290 get a couple questions there let me give 296 00:12:35,490 --> 00:12:33,850 you my opinion what I think is the most 297 00:12:39,689 --> 00:12:35,500 important I think most important is 298 00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:39,699 we're getting the pump module back into 299 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:42,160 the payload Bay to return back home so 300 00:12:49,619 --> 00:12:46,689 we can do the tte or the evaluation of 301 00:12:53,490 --> 00:12:49,629 why the pump module failure is folks by 302 00:12:55,319 --> 00:12:53,500 recall back last year in july period we 303 00:12:57,780 --> 00:12:55,329 had the pop module fail that took down 304 00:12:59,610 --> 00:12:57,790 half the external cooling on station so 305 00:13:01,470 --> 00:12:59,620 even we pulled that out we've been 306 00:13:03,210 --> 00:13:01,480 keeping a stored on the outside the 307 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:03,220 station we're going to take that put it 308 00:13:06,329 --> 00:13:03,970 back in the pail 309 00:13:07,650 --> 00:13:06,339 and return it getting that back and 310 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:07,660 understanding what the cause of that 311 00:13:12,030 --> 00:13:09,370 failure is is going to help us in the 312 00:13:14,939 --> 00:13:12,040 long run it may change how we operate 313 00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:14,949 the pumps on board and maybe there'll be 314 00:13:18,689 --> 00:13:17,110 some design changes in the end but we 315 00:13:21,809 --> 00:13:18,699 need to understand exactly what I why 316 00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:21,819 that pump module failed so in my mind 317 00:13:28,910 --> 00:13:24,430 and that's probably the most important 318 00:13:32,309 --> 00:13:28,920 portion of it as well as in regards to 319 00:13:34,530 --> 00:13:32,319 why the CVA is important I think that as 320 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:34,540 I mentioned that the pup module getting 321 00:13:37,710 --> 00:13:36,490 that back is probably it is critical as 322 00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:37,720 well but we have some other stuff out 323 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:40,120 there we need to do as well we're 324 00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:44,050 running some data lines to a grapple 325 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:45,839 fixture that will allow us to put 326 00:13:49,949 --> 00:13:48,490 robotic arms in different locations a 327 00:13:54,650 --> 00:13:49,959 little bit closer on the Russian segment 328 00:14:01,559 --> 00:13:57,379 thanks and could you say where 329 00:14:04,259 --> 00:14:01,569 Commercial Crew space taxis will be 330 00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:04,269 docking when they eventually get to the 331 00:14:11,939 --> 00:14:08,790 space station would that be at PMA to or 332 00:14:14,970 --> 00:14:11,949 exactly where thanks yeah my 333 00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:14,980 understanding for the visiting vehicles 334 00:14:21,449 --> 00:14:19,120 that are birthing to the US OS segments 335 00:14:23,579 --> 00:14:21,459 are going to use a common berthing 336 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:23,589 mechanism system as I mentioned earlier 337 00:14:30,179 --> 00:14:26,769 the the orbiter docking system which it 338 00:14:31,230 --> 00:14:30,189 currently resides on PMA to the vehicles 339 00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:31,240 aren't going to be designed for that 340 00:14:36,780 --> 00:14:34,720 that I'm aware of so we'd be doing a 341 00:14:43,410 --> 00:14:36,790 capture and berthing operation very 342 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:43,420 similar to what we do for HTV and just a 343 00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:45,040 quick follow-up could you say where they 344 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:48,639 would be birthed we'd be very similar to 345 00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:50,290 where we do now so it'd have to be an 346 00:14:55,619 --> 00:14:53,529 open port such as a no to NATO nordeen 347 00:15:01,079 --> 00:14:55,629 at some place where we have a common 348 00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:01,089 berthing mechanism for me IRA thank you 349 00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:02,740 do we have additional follow-ups here in 350 00:15:08,579 --> 00:15:06,639 Houston seeing none we'll conclude 351 00:15:10,230 --> 00:15:08,589 today's briefing you can follow 352 00:15:12,860 --> 00:15:10,240 activities of the International Space 353 00:15:23,580 --> 00:15:12,870 Station and the flight of Atlantis that 354 00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:26,510 hi I'm Dylan Hogan I'm John Paul 355 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:28,470 I'm Bob swing and I'm Amanda cute we're
