1 00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:06,630 good morning from the johnson space 2 00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:08,720 center in houston texas i'm nasa's josh 3 00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:11,599 byerly coming up in march expedition 35 4 00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:13,120 onboard the international space station 5 00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:14,880 will get kicked off and it's going to be 6 00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:16,560 an incredibly busy time with quite a 7 00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:18,800 number of visiting vehicles spacewalks 8 00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:20,400 that are planned for the crew and also a 9 00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:22,400 ton of science here to give us more 10 00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:23,680 details about what's ahead for 11 00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:26,960 expeditions 35 and 36 is mike safradini 12 00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:28,640 the international space station program 13 00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:31,439 manager as well as tony cicacci nasa 14 00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:33,680 flight director and we are also joined 15 00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:35,840 by dr julie robinson the space station 16 00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:37,440 program scientist we're going to hear 17 00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:38,960 from each one of them and then we'll 18 00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:40,160 take some questions we'll start with 19 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,200 mike 20 00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:43,520 so good morning it's good to be here 21 00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:46,160 again and talk about the iss program and 22 00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:47,840 where we're headed for the next few 23 00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,960 months 24 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:50,399 in fact we're going to discuss with you 25 00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:53,360 today increments 35 and 36 as well and 26 00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,239 that takes us towards to towards the end 27 00:01:00,869 --> 00:00:58,800 of the summer of this year and so of 28 00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:00,879 course quite a bit going on 29 00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:03,760 uh before tony tony walks you through uh 30 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:06,159 the details of those increments and and 31 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:07,600 julie talks to you about the research 32 00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:09,920 involved i thought i'd just give you a 33 00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:12,400 a few uh highlights of near-term 34 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:14,240 activities and and talk a little bit 35 00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:15,520 about the vehicles that are about to 36 00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,400 come 37 00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:18,960 to iss during that period 38 00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:20,960 on board everything's going very well we 39 00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:22,960 have a few uh minor anomalies we work 40 00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:26,240 through that's not uh unusual we have 41 00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:29,280 one of the ku band systems has a 42 00:01:34,550 --> 00:01:31,840 transmit problem or from an iss 43 00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,560 perspective a receive problem 44 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:36,159 that we're 45 00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:37,680 working through 46 00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,759 probably end up being a failed 47 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,600 transceiver that will have to change out 48 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,439 as part of an eba 49 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:44,960 at some point of course we have two 50 00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,799 systems and so we've got all the calm we 51 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:48,640 need right now 52 00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:51,280 and so we'll have to talk about when we 53 00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:52,880 finally finish our failure investigation 54 00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:54,479 what we do with that 55 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,399 we do have in the columbus module one of 56 00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,240 the coolant pumps is down again that's a 57 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,799 redundant pump that we found out when we 58 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:02,479 were swapping over just to check out the 59 00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:03,840 system 60 00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:06,399 so it's it's been nagging us a little 61 00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:08,239 bit and so we'll we'll work through that 62 00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:10,640 a bit and decide where what what next 63 00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:11,840 steps 64 00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:12,879 should be 65 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:14,480 on our power systems largely 66 00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:16,080 everything's going well in the power in 67 00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:18,239 the power side we've had a few anomalies 68 00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:19,760 over the past few months that we've 69 00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,959 sorted out 70 00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:22,560 however one of our we call them 71 00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:25,599 sequential shunt units on the starboard 72 00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:28,720 inboard array has been acting up and 73 00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:30,959 we've 74 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:33,280 had a few uh what's called power on 75 00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:34,879 resets and this is where the system 76 00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:38,400 itself resets itself if it thinks it has 77 00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:41,840 some sort of minor anomaly 78 00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:43,760 but there hasn't been any anomaly so the 79 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,760 system's gone through a reset every so 80 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,959 often 81 00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:48,480 that was occurring 82 00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:51,040 semi-regularly for uh for several days 83 00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:52,239 and then as of sunday i don't think 84 00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:53,760 we've seen any since sunday so we're 85 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:55,280 looking at that 86 00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:58,640 uh so um overall though we've had this 87 00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:00,800 is a kind of a low traffic period for us 88 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:03,440 on iss and therefore we've done a really 89 00:03:10,309 --> 00:03:06,800 good job of focusing on research 90 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,319 as as you've heard me say many times our 91 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:12,560 our requirement is to get at least 35 92 00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,840 hours a week 93 00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:16,000 of research over the last several weeks 94 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:17,840 we've been averaging something closer to 95 00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:20,480 about 40 to 45 hours a week 96 00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:22,319 so the team is doing a really good job 97 00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:25,360 of preparing for or conducting research 98 00:03:29,110 --> 00:03:27,360 on board iss 99 00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:29,120 and i think with these increments coming 100 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:30,080 up 101 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:31,840 you'll see us to continue to focus on 102 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:34,400 that uh as we also at this point you 103 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:35,920 know as we get towards the spring time 104 00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:38,480 frame we will change out the crews as we 105 00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:43,120 go from uh from 34 to 35 and 35 to 36 106 00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:45,200 so you'll see some some crew change out 107 00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:47,280 and also i think tony's going to touch 108 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,680 on this a little bit we're considering 109 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:51,519 um a uh 110 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:53,120 the russians already have planned a 111 00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:55,040 couple of evas and we're considering a 112 00:03:57,990 --> 00:03:56,000 uh 113 00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,000 perhaps a set of evas in the middle 114 00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,720 summer time frame in order to take care 115 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,159 of a backlog of things that we need to 116 00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:04,560 get done outside which would include 117 00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:07,200 replacing this this failed transceiver i 118 00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:09,519 talked about a little bit earlier 119 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:12,319 so on board everything's going very well 120 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:14,000 on the ground of course we're preparing 121 00:04:16,550 --> 00:04:15,599 for our next several flights we've got a 122 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:16,560 progress 123 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:25,040 11th of february 124 00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:26,639 from a u.s 125 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:29,040 logistics standpoint we have 126 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:31,440 the next spacex flight 127 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:34,800 is the spacex 2 flight to iss and it's 128 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,120 currently scheduled for march 1st 129 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:39,040 and i don't see anything that would keep 130 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,080 that from 131 00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:42,720 from happening at least not today 132 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:45,600 uh of course we're uh the the objective 133 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:48,479 for the first half of this year is to uh 134 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,199 to get the demo flight off the orbital 135 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:53,440 uh demo flight so we'd like to see the 136 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,400 cygnus spacecraft at iss uh sometime in 137 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,800 the summer time frame and so uh that's 138 00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,720 going very well in fact today they're 139 00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:02,800 doing the last step in the cold flow 140 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:04,960 test uh out at the wallops launch 141 00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:07,280 facility uh this afternoon after lunch i 142 00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:09,039 think they'll get the they'll start the 143 00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:10,479 flowing of the 144 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:13,520 of the propellant in order to 145 00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:16,240 test that whole system 146 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:17,680 and then that'll be followed up 147 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:18,800 immediately 148 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:22,560 at the end of january by a hot fire test 149 00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:23,520 which is has 150 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,600 been in the works for some time 151 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,520 uh and then the plan is to have the test 152 00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:29,520 flight that we've talked about in in 153 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:32,160 roughly the march early spring time 154 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:32,960 frame 155 00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:35,440 uh with the uh the possible launch of 156 00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:39,039 the demo flight uh hopefully in the 157 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:40,560 summer time frame 158 00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,199 so that's the plan for the orbital 159 00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:45,280 vehicle and 160 00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:47,120 many things have come together with the 161 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:48,479 getting the pad ready and the vehicle 162 00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:50,000 ready to go fly 163 00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:51,840 they've overcome a number of hurdles and 164 00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:53,600 so i think the schedule's starting to 165 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:55,600 stabilize on that system and so we're 166 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:57,759 looking forward to it uh coming to iss 167 00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:00,400 as well so overall in the program we're 168 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:02,880 we're doing very well and i'll hand it 169 00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,520 over to tony uh and to julie to tell you 170 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:07,199 more about the specifics of what's 171 00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:08,560 coming up in these next couple of 172 00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:14,950 oh okay i thought you were going to say 173 00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,400 something josh let's get it all kicked 174 00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,319 up we'll say good morning 175 00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:20,639 to everyone like mike said uh my plan 176 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:22,000 today is basically give you a quick 177 00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:23,039 summary 178 00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:24,960 of all the major events we'll be doing 179 00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:27,840 during both uh the increment 35 and 36 180 00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:29,120 time frame 181 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:31,280 and uh based on our current schedules 182 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,560 and like mike said they're they're 183 00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:35,280 working and negotiating uh uh very 184 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:36,960 schedules and where we're gonna 185 00:06:43,029 --> 00:06:40,479 execute these things uh see as far as uh 186 00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:43,039 lead flight directors i will be the lead 187 00:06:47,189 --> 00:06:44,960 for increment 35 188 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:47,199 and i'll be back up for 36 and gary 189 00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:49,680 horlocker one of my flight director 190 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:51,759 compadres will be doing the lead for 191 00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,440 increment 36 192 00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:55,599 and i'll be back up for like and he will 193 00:07:01,589 --> 00:06:59,440 be back up for me on increment 35. 194 00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:01,599 to let's see paint a complete picture i 195 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:03,199 wanted to talk about who's on board the 196 00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:04,240 station 197 00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,880 as of today and that way you can see 198 00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:08,960 here crew i'll go left from right it's 199 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:12,080 oleg novitskiy of course kevin ford who 200 00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:15,440 is the cdr of increment 34. 201 00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:16,479 we've got 202 00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,479 evgeny torrenkin 203 00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:20,639 roman romanenko 204 00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,400 got chris

will be docking to 414 00:15:14,710 --> 00:15:12,480 the uh 415 00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:14,720 after the sm 416 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:16,000 see the launch right now is scheduled 417 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:18,000 for april 18th 418 00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:21,120 uh docking may 1st and then 419 00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:23,279 undocking will be after our increment 420 00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:26,959 but october 15th just to close that out 421 00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:29,759 as far as htv 422 00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:31,759 again 423 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:34,720 the launch for htv is uh no earlier than 424 00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:36,720 july 15th 425 00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:38,800 and capturing birthing will be on july 426 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:42,399 20th and unbird and release will be 427 00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:47,110 so mike talked about 428 00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:50,000 the evas right now the russians have 429 00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:52,399 four evas scheduled during the increment 430 00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:53,519 time frame 431 00:15:58,069 --> 00:15:55,839 the first one uh 432 00:16:00,470 --> 00:15:58,079 spacewalk number 32 it'll be 433 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,480 roman and pavel doing that one 434 00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:02,399 and then they have 435 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:06,320 33 34 and 35 june 26 august 15th and 436 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:09,519 august 21st and fyodor and alexander 437 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:12,079 will be doing those three evas 438 00:16:17,030 --> 00:16:15,519 as far as u.s evas like mike discussed 439 00:16:19,189 --> 00:16:17,040 right now three va's are under 440 00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:19,199 evaluation 441 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:21,600 consideration for the june july time 442 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,560 frame 443 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:24,560 like mike had talked about last year we 444 00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:25,839 had some uh 445 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:28,079 evas we had contingency evas that we had 446 00:16:33,829 --> 00:16:31,440 to go out and perform for the mbsu and 447 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:33,839 try to determine uh leak troubleshooting 448 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:36,480 on the the 2b solar array so a lot of 449 00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:38,720 tasks got removed from the list 450 00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:40,320 and 451 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:42,480 for this summer looks like the best 452 00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:43,759 time to probably 453 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,519 complete those tasks get caught up to 454 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:46,959 date and of course they're still looking 455 00:16:49,749 --> 00:16:47,920 at 456 00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:49,759 sergeant sarge's and see if we want to 457 00:16:54,949 --> 00:16:52,639 re-lube those and also the ams 458 00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:54,959 possibly putting a mli cover on that due 459 00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:56,480 to some of the thermal concerns that 460 00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:58,399 they've been seeing 461 00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:00,959 uh let's see and for those evas i didn't 462 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,120 mention that it would be chris cassidy 463 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:05,360 and luca performing those 464 00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:08,079 as far as uh the inclement increment 36 465 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:09,439 completion 466 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:11,199 increment 36 comes to an end with a 467 00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:13,679 departure of the 34s crew 468 00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:16,079 and their departure 469 00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:17,439 is scheduled for 470 00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:19,600 september 11th and prior to that of 471 00:17:24,069 --> 00:17:21,439 course uh pablo will be handing over the 472 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:24,079 command of the iss to fyodor beginning 473 00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:26,720 the increment 37's tenure 474 00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:29,520 and let's see as far as 34s crew they'll 475 00:17:32,789 --> 00:17:31,360 be coming home on september 11th right 476 00:17:33,669 --> 00:17:32,799 now is a schedule like i talked and 477 00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:33,679 they'll be 478 00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:37,520 up in space for 167 days 165 of those uh 479 00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:39,360 onboard the station 480 00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:40,640 let's see and that's all i have for you 481 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,280 is a quick summary of the major events 482 00:17:46,470 --> 00:17:45,120 so i'll hand it over to julie to talk 483 00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:46,480 about all the 484 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,919 neat science stuff we'll be doing on the 485 00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:49,360 station 486 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,200 well thanks tony you know all those 487 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:53,120 operational activities that that tony 488 00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:54,799 just talked about are really for a 489 00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:56,880 reason and that reason is to carry out 490 00:18:00,950 --> 00:17:58,960 the robust research program that we have 491 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:00,960 going on on the space station so for 492 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:03,840 expedition 3536 i'm just going to give 493 00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:05,600 you some brief highlights of a few 494 00:18:09,990 --> 00:18:07,360 select investigations 495 00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:10,000 overall we have just in kibo columbus 496 00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,640 and destiny we'll have over 137 497 00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:14,720 investigations active 498 00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:17,600 during expedition 35 and 36 499 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:20,720 80 of those are led by u.s funded or u.s 500 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:23,760 supported investigators about 25 percent 501 00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:26,160 of our investigations are sponsored 502 00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:28,000 under the declaration of iss as a 503 00:18:32,870 --> 00:18:30,720 national laboratory this started back in 504 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:32,880 2005 when we were dead we were declared 505 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:34,559 a national laboratory by congress and 506 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:36,880 that represents our users that are from 507 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:39,200 other government agencies uh commercial 508 00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,720 companies the private sector and 509 00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:42,720 non-profit organizations so they're not 510 00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:44,640 funded by nasa 511 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,760 we're also 512 00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,840 serving the needs of over 400 513 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:49,200 investigators 514 00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:50,640 from around the world and those 515 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,720 investigators represent 28 different 516 00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:54,960 countries and 517 00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:56,720 you saw in the in the graphic that was 518 00:19:00,870 --> 00:18:58,480 up those colors represented the 519 00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:00,880 different disciplines and so we have uh 520 00:19:05,270 --> 00:19:02,960 biology and biotechnology earth and 521 00:19:07,350 --> 00:19:05,280 space sciences education and cultural 522 00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:07,360 activities human research focused on 523 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:10,480 human physiology and future exploration 524 00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:12,240 physical sciences and technology 525 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:14,240 development and demonstration 526 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:16,160 so with that number of investigations 527 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:17,760 obviously i can't give you a very 528 00:19:22,230 --> 00:19:19,919 detailed rundown of most of them what i 529 00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:22,240 did was select five investigations 530 00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:24,480 covering that breadth of disciplines 531 00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:26,080 linked to some of our past research 532 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:27,760 results and 533 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,080 that are kind of new in this starting up 534 00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:32,559 in expedition 35. so the first i want to 535 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:34,320 talk about is from the biology area and 536 00:19:37,909 --> 00:19:36,320 it's called microbiome 537 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:37,919 some recent discoveries over the last 538 00:19:42,870 --> 00:19:40,080 few years in the microbial sciences have 539 00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:42,880 shown us that bacteria account for 540 00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:44,880 basically 10 times more cells in our 541 00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:47,840 body than our ver our own cells so we're 542 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:49,760 outnumbered 10 to 1 everywhere we go by 543 00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:52,160 the bacteria that we carry with us and 544 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,640 we know that in space flight bacteria 545 00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:56,400 grow quite differently we also know that 546 00:20:00,470 --> 00:19:58,320 the human immune system is affected 547 00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:00,480 significantly and so what we'll be doing 548 00:20:04,950 --> 00:20:02,720 in this project is collecting samples 549 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:04,960 from iss crew members before during and 550 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:07,280 after their missions to the iss and also 551 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:09,919 looking at the environment of the iss 552 00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:11,679 and the diet and other aspects other 553 00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,280 ways that humans 554 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,360 have bacteria come into their systems 555 00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:17,280 and we'll be looking at their stress 556 00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:18,799 levels and their immune system function 557 00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:19,760 as well 558 00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,280 it's important from an exploration 559 00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:23,440 perspective because this research will 560 00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:25,360 help us predict how long-term space 561 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:27,760 travel which is basically humans and the 562 00:20:30,870 --> 00:20:29,440 microbes that go with us 563 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:30,880 is going to affect those communities 564 00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:33,200 those ecological communities but also 565 00:20:36,390 --> 00:20:34,640 it's really important because it's 566 00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:36,400 addressing a 567 00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:37,840 top recommendation of the national 568 00:20:41,669 --> 00:20:39,919 academies of sciences last year when 569 00:20:44,390 --> 00:20:41,679 they suggested that iss needed to be 570 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:44,400 developed as a microbial observatory to 571 00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:45,840 address some of these new findings that 572 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:47,200 have been made across the scientific 573 00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:48,400 community and so this is one of the 574 00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:50,000 first studies that really starts 575 00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:51,919 addressing that recommendation and 576 00:20:55,270 --> 00:20:53,440 that's important because of the benefits 577 00:20:57,350 --> 00:20:55,280 back here on earth if we can understand 578 00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:57,360 how microbial communities work and take 579 00:21:01,350 --> 00:20:59,520 advantage of the iss as a relatively 580 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:01,360 isolated environment there's a lot of 581 00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:03,360 basic science and then improvements in 582 00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:06,000 health on earth that we can make 583 00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:08,720 moving to human physiology we have a new 584 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:10,880 investigation starting in expedition 35 585 00:21:14,789 --> 00:21:13,360 called ocular health and this is an 586 00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:14,799 important investigation because it 587 00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:17,120 builds off a discovery made through our 588 00:21:21,029 --> 00:21:19,520 space medicine about two years ago it 589 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:21,039 will be the first experiment to 590 00:21:25,590 --> 00:21:23,280 characterize the risk of what we're now 591 00:21:27,909 --> 00:21:25,600 calling microgravity induced visual 592 00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:27,919 impairment and intracranial pressure 593 00:21:31,669 --> 00:21:29,600 essentially what we've discovered is 594 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,679 that astronauts some astronauts on orbit 595 00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:34,080 not all of them but they have real 596 00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:36,240 changes in fluid shifts in their bodies 597 00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:39,600 and uh that that leads them to uh both 598 00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:41,200 have changes in their vision and also 599 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:42,720 changes in the pressure in their central 600 00:21:45,990 --> 00:21:44,880 nervous system about 20 percent of the 601 00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:46,000 astronauts that have flown to the 602 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:47,280 international space station have 603 00:21:51,029 --> 00:21:49,440 reported these kinds of vision changes 604 00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:51,039 so what we're going to be doing is 605 00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:52,880 taking detailed scientific measurements 606 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:54,240 here you see 607 00:21:56,789 --> 00:21:55,280 sunny 608 00:21:58,070 --> 00:21:56,799 having some tomography measurements 609 00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:58,080 taken of her eye you may have had 610 00:22:01,510 --> 00:21:59,679 something like this in a doctor's office 611 00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:01,520 where you have some anesthetizing eye 612 00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:03,760 drops and then they use that direct 613 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,760 contact to tap and actually measure the 614 00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:07,440 pressure of the fluid that's inside the 615 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:08,240 eye 616 00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:11,280 you also saw some video of ultrasounds 617 00:22:14,789 --> 00:22:13,120 and and here's another instrument being 618 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:14,799 used to characterize the eye so we'll be 619 00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:17,200 taking systematic measurements to really 620 00:22:20,070 --> 00:22:18,880 try and understand this process for the 621 00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,080 first time 622 00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:22,320 this is an example of why we really need 623 00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:24,000 long-duration human space flight with 624 00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:26,159 multiple crew members to understand all 625 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:28,320 the different effects on the human body 626 00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:30,240 but it's also interesting that that this 627 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,400 is a process that was not predicted from 628 00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:34,480 what we know about human health on earth 629 00:22:38,070 --> 00:22:36,080 and we even have some results now that 630 00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:38,080 have come out that suggest that what 631 00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,600 we're seeing in astronauts in orbit 632 00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:41,360 could link to ways of understanding 633 00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:43,120 cardiovascular disease high blood 634 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:45,200 pressure and other aspects in 635 00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:46,400 in people on earth that might not be 636 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:47,919 quite as healthy as our astronauts are 637 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,080 in orbit 638 00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:52,159 and so so we're really excited to have 639 00:22:56,549 --> 00:22:53,760 this important study kicking off it will 640 00:22:57,990 --> 00:22:56,559 take place over about two years 641 00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:58,000 next i want to shift from human 642 00:23:01,510 --> 00:22:59,280 physiology 643 00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:01,520 focused on exploration to technology 644 00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:03,520 demonstration focused on exploration and 645 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:05,440 really just yesterday on iss we started 646 00:23:10,149 --> 00:23:08,080 a study called ubnt or ultrasonic 647 00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:10,159 background noise test 648 00:23:14,549 --> 00:23:12,960 this test is to observe the high 649 00:23:15,990 --> 00:23:14,559 frequency noise levels that are 650 00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:16,000 background on the international space 651 00:23:20,549 --> 00:23:18,799 station and develop an understanding of 652 00:23:23,190 --> 00:23:20,559 what those noise levels are so that we 653 00:23:25,350 --> 00:23:23,200 can then develop a tool to 654 00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:25,360 automatically detect leaks you can think 655 00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:26,960 of a leak as having some kind of a 656 00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:29,280 hissing noise and these ultrasonic 657 00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:30,880 detectors and you see a training video 658 00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:33,280 here of someone putting the epoxy on one 659 00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:34,400 of these detectors and actually 660 00:23:39,430 --> 00:23:36,720 attaching it onto 661 00:23:41,430 --> 00:23:39,440 the space behind a rack and basically 662 00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:41,440 what will what the acoustic engineers 663 00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:43,520 will be doing is developing a profile of 664 00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:45,440 what normal noises are like 665 00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:47,440 inside the iss and then they'll be able 666 00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:49,440 to start developing algorithms to detect 667 00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:51,520 abnormal noises including the kind of 668 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:52,799 noises you might get if there's air 669 00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:54,960 leaking through the pressure wall and so 670 00:23:58,789 --> 00:23:56,640 this will be an important advance in the 671 00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:58,799 way that we approach spacecraft safety 672 00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:00,080 and leak detection for future 673 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:02,960 exploration missions 674 00:24:07,190 --> 00:24:05,120 next i'll shift from technology 675 00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:07,200 demonstration to some a more fundamental 676 00:24:12,149 --> 00:24:09,919 physical process and that is combustion 677 00:24:15,110 --> 00:24:12,159 last year we had a really neat discovery 678 00:24:17,029 --> 00:24:15,120 in our combustion rack and 679 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:17,039 based on one of the the combustion 680 00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:18,320 experiments we were doing where we were 681 00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:20,720 burning uh very simple fuels 682 00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:22,240 in this case heptane 683 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:23,840 heptane drops and this was from an 684 00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,159 experiment called flex it was the first 685 00:24:30,950 --> 00:24:28,400 time that scientists had observed a low 686 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,960 temperature soot free cool flame now 687 00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:32,640 cool flame sounds kind of strange a 688 00:24:36,549 --> 00:24:34,480 normal flame is about 1400 degrees 689 00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:36,559 celsius and a cool flame is about 600 690 00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:39,120 degrees celsius we have a video to show 691 00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:41,200 you uh from the inside of the combustion 692 00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:42,400 rack that shows you what this 693 00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:44,400 observation is so you see the droplet 694 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:46,240 the droplets ignited and you see the 695 00:24:50,390 --> 00:24:48,320 burning go on then you'll see an 696 00:24:52,470 --> 00:24:50,400 extinction where it gets dark 697 00:24:54,390 --> 00:24:52,480 it goes out but the flame the burning 698 00:24:55,750 --> 00:24:54,400 actually continues and then in the end 699 00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:55,760 you can see that through a 700 00:24:59,750 --> 00:24:58,400 chemiluminescent afterglow that comes 701 00:25:01,350 --> 00:24:59,760 back afterwards and so that's how 702 00:25:02,549 --> 00:25:01,360 scientists know that the flame continued 703 00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:02,559 to burn 704 00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:04,400 uh so this is has really important 705 00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:06,320 applications on earth because this is 706 00:25:10,310 --> 00:25:08,400 something you just can't study any other 707 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:10,320 way this kind of droplets staying in one 708 00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:11,760 place and being controllable and 709 00:25:15,909 --> 00:25:14,080 measurable without having convection 710 00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:15,919 drawing a flame upward in the point that 711 00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:17,600 we normally see say when we're burning a 712 00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:19,760 candle on earth this is a fundamental 713 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:21,279 property of combustion you can only 714 00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:22,640 study in space 715 00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:24,720 and this gives us some insights in some 716 00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:26,720 ways to improve internal combustion 717 00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:28,480 engines because this kind of cool flame 718 00:25:31,909 --> 00:25:30,400 property if you can control it better on 719 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:31,919 earth would help you to control 720 00:25:36,149 --> 00:25:33,520 combustion in a way that could make 721 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,159 engines more fuel efficient 722 00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:38,240 the experiment that we'll be starting in 723 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,960 expedition 35 is a follow-on to the flex 724 00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:43,200 investigation data i just showed you 725 00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:44,880 it's called the italian combustion 726 00:25:49,669 --> 00:25:47,279 experiment for green air or ice ga for 727 00:25:52,470 --> 00:25:49,679 short and here you can see a picture 728 00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:52,480 in front of the combustion rack is a gas 729 00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:54,320 bottle is being put in and it's a 730 00:25:57,830 --> 00:25:55,840 collaboration with the italian space 731 00:26:01,110 --> 00:25:57,840 agency instead of burning things like 732 00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:01,120 heptane decane or or octane we'll be 733 00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:03,440 looking at second and third generation 734 00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:05,760 biofuels second generation biofuels are 735 00:26:09,590 --> 00:26:06,960 instead of being made from corn or 736 00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:09,600 soybeans they're made from any kind of 737 00:26:12,310 --> 00:26:11,279 excess biomass so they're not competing 738 00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:12,320 with food 739 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:14,240 production and third generation biofuels 740 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:15,760 are the ones that are made from algae so 741 00:26:19,430 --> 00:26:18,240 we'll be testing combustion in the in 742 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:19,440 the combustion rack using these 743 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:21,600 different biofuels and this is obviously 744 00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:24,000 very applied at getting insights that 745 00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:25,760 will help us to improve the efficiency 746 00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:28,880 of combustion with biofuels 747 00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:30,480 finally i'd like to shift to the earth 748 00:26:34,630 --> 00:26:33,200 sciences and talk about 749 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:34,640 an important or science remote sensing 750 00:26:38,789 --> 00:26:37,039 instrument on iss the hico or 751 00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,799 hyperspectral imager for the coastal 752 00:26:42,710 --> 00:26:40,799 ocean you can see a picture of that here 753 00:26:44,230 --> 00:26:42,720 out on the mounted externally on the 754 00:26:46,789 --> 00:26:44,240 kibo laboratory 755 00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:46,799 hyperspectral data is essentially 756 00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:48,559 hundreds of spectral bands instead of 757 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:50,960 just a few like landsat has and so this 758 00:26:55,669 --> 00:26:53,360 gives you a lot more information about 759 00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:55,679 what you're what's being observed and 760 00:26:58,149 --> 00:26:57,120 measured on the earth below the 761 00:27:02,230 --> 00:26:58,159 instrument 762 00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:02,240 transitioned from being just a naval 763 00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:04,799 research operated payload for the naval 764 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:07,200 research laboratory to being a facility 765 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:09,279 on the international space station and 766 00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:12,000 this opens it up to a wide array of 767 00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:14,000 users both national lab users from other 768 00:27:18,149 --> 00:27:15,919 government agencies and the private 769 00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:18,159 sector especially users that are focused 770 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:20,480 on agribusiness and oil exploration 771 00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:22,960 and it also opens the instrument up to 772 00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:25,360 more access to our nasa users that are 773 00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:26,480 funded by the science mission 774 00:27:29,909 --> 00:27:27,760 directorate 775 00:27:31,909 --> 00:27:29,919 in studies of the earth system 776 00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:31,919 so we're excited about that transition 777 00:27:35,909 --> 00:27:34,399 and i wanted to close by showing you uh 778 00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:35,919 one example of what the environmental 779 00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:37,360 protection agency has done with 780 00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:40,000 hyperspectral data they had a pathfinder 781 00:27:43,430 --> 00:27:42,000 innovation project exploratory grant 782 00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:43,440 from their office of research and 783 00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:45,360 development at epa and this is one of 784 00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:46,960 the results of those this is pensacola 785 00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:48,799 bay florida and if you see the little 786 00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:51,120 red parts of that image they took data 787 00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:52,720 from hico and they processed it and 788 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:54,880 those little red areas represent where 789 00:27:59,750 --> 00:27:57,279 there's significant nitrogen coming into 790 00:28:02,149 --> 00:27:59,760 the bay and causing blooms of algae and 791 00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:02,159 so they use this by combining their 792 00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:03,919 in-water measurements with the remote 793 00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:05,360 sensing measurements they've used it to 794 00:28:09,510 --> 00:28:07,279 develop a predictive system that they 795 00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:09,520 can use for monitoring the water quality 796 00:28:14,310 --> 00:28:11,760 in pensacola bay they're now working to 797 00:28:16,149 --> 00:28:14,320 expand this to more bays around the gulf 798 00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:16,159 coast region and even to look at other 799 00:28:19,669 --> 00:28:18,880 epa regions and see if they can extend 800 00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:19,679 this 801 00:28:21,909 --> 00:28:21,120 and 802 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:21,919 both 803 00:28:28,230 --> 00:28:26,240 at epa as well as their office of 804 00:28:30,789 --> 00:28:28,240 research is continuing to support 805 00:28:34,389 --> 00:28:30,799 expanded use so this is the kind of use 806 00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:34,399 of hico as a as a national laboratory 807 00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:36,559 facility that really benefits our life 808 00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:38,159 here on earth and 809 00:28:42,149 --> 00:28:40,080 will also be extended to additional 810 00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:42,159 users because of hico becoming an iss 811 00:28:46,070 --> 00:28:43,600 facility 812 00:28:48,149 --> 00:28:46,080 so that summary really just touches the 813 00:28:50,549 --> 00:28:48,159 surface i urge you to look at the press 814 00:28:52,870 --> 00:28:50,559 kit and on nasa.gov to see all of those 815 00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:52,880 hundreds of investigations going on 816 00:28:56,830 --> 00:28:55,200 and we look forward to a really dynamic 817 00:28:58,630 --> 00:28:56,840 and active research 818 00:29:00,310 --> 00:28:58,640 expedition thanks 819 00:29:01,830 --> 00:29:00,320 okay thank you julie let's take some 820 00:29:05,269 --> 00:29:01,840 questions now from the media we'll start 821 00:29:08,149 --> 00:29:05,279 here in houston mark caro 822 00:29:11,029 --> 00:29:08,159 thank you mark caro from the 823 00:29:13,269 --> 00:29:11,039 aviation week in space technology and 824 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:13,279 i think my question is is for mike 825 00:29:17,669 --> 00:29:15,600 suffradini but 826 00:29:19,909 --> 00:29:17,679 directors as needed 827 00:29:22,070 --> 00:29:19,919 i believe you mentioned that march 28 828 00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:22,080 the launch of the soyuz might be the 829 00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:23,760 first 830 00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:25,360 four orbit 831 00:29:29,590 --> 00:29:26,960 rendezvous 832 00:29:31,510 --> 00:29:29,600 flight of a soyuz crew to the iss and 833 00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:31,520 you said you're assessing 834 00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:33,679 some issues yet that will be considered 835 00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:35,919 before a final decision i wonder if you 836 00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:38,000 could elaborate a little bit 837 00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:38,960 and 838 00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:46,960 you would look to regularly do 839 00:29:51,269 --> 00:29:49,760 for orbit with soyuz or that you would 840 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:51,279 have a mix i just kind of want to see 841 00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:53,760 where this was going in your mind 842 00:29:57,510 --> 00:29:55,679 very good uh 843 00:29:59,669 --> 00:29:57,520 so those two are related and so that's 844 00:30:01,750 --> 00:29:59,679 the answer to your first question is you 845 00:30:04,630 --> 00:30:01,760 got to talk about the benefits and the 846 00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:04,640 and the downsides in order to decide uh 847 00:30:10,630 --> 00:30:07,520 if you'd like to do this long term or or 848 00:30:12,549 --> 00:30:10,640 at all so there's two factors one is the 849 00:30:13,669 --> 00:30:12,559 the crew factors of a four orbit 850 00:30:15,350 --> 00:30:13,679 rendezvous 851 00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:15,360 um and then of course the other is the 852 00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:17,520 ground operations impact associated with 853 00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:19,360 the four orbit rendezvous 854 00:30:27,669 --> 00:30:25,200 advantage that you have a very short 855 00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:27,679 period of time from launch to uh 856 00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:29,440 to docking 857 00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:30,960 that's good from 858 00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:32,320 you know if you had to get to iss 859 00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:34,240 quickly you know how to do it 860 00:30:37,830 --> 00:30:36,000 it reduces the amount of time the crew 861 00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:37,840 has to spend in a small environment 862 00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:40,559 before they get to iss 863 00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:42,000 and 864 00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:43,760 in addition to that the neat thing about 865 00:30:47,990 --> 00:30:45,760 the way the soyuz 866 00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:48,000 trajectory goes is it's very easy to 867 00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:49,760 transition from a four orbit to a 868 00:30:52,149 --> 00:30:50,799 two-day 869 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:52,159 rendezvous 870 00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:54,080 if you have any any issues and i'll talk 871 00:30:57,669 --> 00:30:55,440 a little bit about one of the issues 872 00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:57,679 associated that in a minute 873 00:31:03,430 --> 00:30:59,679 um and so that's a 874 00:31:05,190 --> 00:31:03,440 that's certainly an attractive 875 00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:05,200 set of reasons the other the other 876 00:31:09,509 --> 00:31:07,360 attractive thing about that is 877 00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:09,519 is there's a certain size of the ground 878 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:11,760 ops team to control a free-flying 879 00:31:15,750 --> 00:31:13,200 spacecraft 880 00:31:17,590 --> 00:31:15,760 that once it's docked to iss and power 881 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:17,600 down you can go to a very very small 882 00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:19,840 team so there's a cost savings with 883 00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:22,000 regard to flying those spacecraft uh 884 00:31:25,269 --> 00:31:24,320 where you can trim down the flight ops 885 00:31:30,230 --> 00:31:25,279 team 886 00:31:32,389 --> 00:31:30,240 that has to last for two plus days to 887 00:31:33,990 --> 00:31:32,399 one that could you know last to about a 888 00:31:36,310 --> 00:31:34,000 day or so 889 00:31:39,509 --> 00:31:36,320 so those are the advantages the downside 890 00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:39,519 is one is in and this first one is crew 891 00:31:42,630 --> 00:31:41,120 related it's not really a downside it's 892 00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:42,640 just working out the details and that's 893 00:31:46,549 --> 00:31:44,880 a little bit about what tony was talking 894 00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:46,559 to that we have to kind of sort out 895 00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:48,640 amongst ourselves and that is there's 896 00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:50,480 just there's just things you have to 897 00:31:55,110 --> 00:31:52,960 consider with the crew you can't expect 898 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:55,120 a crew to stay buckled up in those and 899 00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:57,440 you've seen the the seat liners they sit 900 00:32:00,389 --> 00:31:59,360 in you can't expect them to stay like 901 00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:00,399 that for the 902 00:32:03,509 --> 00:32:02,240 for the eight hours or so that they're 903 00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:03,519 flying around 904 00:32:08,149 --> 00:32:06,320 uh in space trying to get to iss and so 905 00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:08,159 from the launch to from the time they 906 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:09,760 get in the capsule to the time they get 907 00:32:14,070 --> 00:32:11,440 into iss actually it's probably close to 908 00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:14,080 about 10 hours so they can't sit there 909 00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:15,600 all strapped in so we're working we're 910 00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:17,200 really just working the details can you 911 00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:19,200 get the crew out can they 912 00:32:24,549 --> 00:32:21,840 go stretch can they use the facilities 913 00:32:25,909 --> 00:32:24,559 if necessary um and then of course they 914 00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:25,919 have to be appropriately strapped in by 915 00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:27,440 the time they get close to for 916 00:32:31,990 --> 00:32:30,080 rendezvous and prox ops and docking so 917 00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:32,000 we're just working those details and 918 00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:33,600 we'll certainly be able to sort those 919 00:32:37,909 --> 00:32:34,320 out 920 00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:37,919 the bigger question lies uh in terms of 921 00:32:42,950 --> 00:32:40,320 operational impacts 922 00:32:46,310 --> 00:32:42,960 a four orbit rendezvous means that you 923 00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:46,320 have to know precisely where iss is 924 00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:49,519 uh within pretty tight tolerances uh at 925 00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:50,880 launch time 926 00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:53,360 um and and it's because you don't really 927 00:32:57,190 --> 00:32:55,360 have time for the soyuz to make up the 928 00:32:59,990 --> 00:32:57,200 phase angle differences 929 00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:00,000 that are inherent in a system like iss 930 00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:02,480 you can do no burns on iss in any given 931 00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:04,240 orbit and just because of the size and 932 00:33:08,630 --> 00:33:06,000 the nature of the iss and the 933 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:08,640 environment flies in the drag alone can 934 00:33:13,029 --> 00:33:10,240 vary enough because the environment 935 00:33:15,430 --> 00:33:13,039 varies enough that you can the iss won't 936 00:33:16,710 --> 00:33:15,440 be where you expect it to be and and 937 00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:16,720 because you're talking about such tight 938 00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:19,120 tolerances that's significant 939 00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:21,039 so operationally it doesn't sound too 940 00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:24,000 bad to you consider that today if i do a 941 00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:25,760 debris avoidance maneuver i have to 942 00:33:29,509 --> 00:33:27,760 consider whether that impacts a flight 943 00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:29,519 in march 944 00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:31,760 and so you can see from an op standpoint 945 00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:33,519 it becomes much much more difficult now 946 00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:35,120 every time we do a maneuver every time 947 00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:36,480 we have to do a debris avoidance 948 00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:38,720 maneuver every time i do a reboost 949 00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:41,279 not only do i worry about phasing before 950 00:33:44,549 --> 00:33:43,360 i phased into a 951 00:33:45,669 --> 00:33:44,559 a certain 952 00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:45,679 angle 953 00:33:51,509 --> 00:33:49,679 make up the rest and progress can make 954 00:33:52,950 --> 00:33:51,519 up now it's much much tighter and so i'm 955 00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:52,960 worrying about that three or four months 956 00:33:56,710 --> 00:33:54,320 in advance i'm worried about whether or 957 00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:56,720 not i want to screw up my location 958 00:34:01,029 --> 00:33:58,480 for the launch of that vehicle and so 959 00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:01,039 that's turning out to be a enormous 960 00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:03,120 amount of work for the ops team 961 00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:04,640 so that's part of what we have to work 962 00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:06,080 with our russian colleagues to talk 963 00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:08,560 about the gain from the from the savings 964 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:11,359 of time and getting to iss quicker does 965 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:13,200 that offset the impacts that we're going 966 00:34:17,990 --> 00:34:16,399 to have just flying the iss day-to-day 967 00:34:20,389 --> 00:34:18,000 and so that's the future discussion that 968 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:20,399 we have to have about term we we have 969 00:34:24,069 --> 00:34:22,320 agreed fundamentally that we would like 970 00:34:25,109 --> 00:34:24,079 to go ahead and do this at least once or 971 00:34:27,030 --> 00:34:25,119 twice to show that we have the 972 00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:27,040 capability in case we need to get to iss 973 00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:29,119 quick for any reason 974 00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:31,359 but the decision to fly like this long 975 00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:35,359 term is still out there to be determined 976 00:34:40,310 --> 00:34:38,560 okay anything else here in houston 977 00:34:42,869 --> 00:34:40,320 all right let's go to the phone lines uh 978 00:34:46,230 --> 00:34:42,879 marcia dunn with the associated press 979 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:46,240 yes hello can you hear me uh a little 980 00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:48,480 choppy but yeah go ahead uh this 981 00:34:52,710 --> 00:34:50,320 question is probably from mike mike i'm 982 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:52,720 just wondering um there was some issues 983 00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:54,240 with the freezer when the blood and 984 00:34:59,910 --> 00:34:56,879 urine samples came down on the spacex 985 00:35:01,510 --> 00:34:59,920 drag in the last time i'm wondering um 986 00:35:03,349 --> 00:35:01,520 can you give us an update on how the 987 00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:03,359 samples turned out to be were they 988 00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:04,960 usable and 989 00:35:09,829 --> 00:35:07,920 will there be another freezer aboard the 990 00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:09,839 next wreck and going up to bring down 991 00:35:13,990 --> 00:35:10,880 samples 992 00:35:16,790 --> 00:35:14,000 oh that's that's a great question marcia 993 00:35:18,790 --> 00:35:16,800 first of all the freezer itself was not 994 00:35:20,710 --> 00:35:18,800 the issue it was the power going to the 995 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:20,720 freezer that was lost 996 00:35:25,430 --> 00:35:22,800 we have analyzed there was only a couple 997 00:35:27,990 --> 00:35:25,440 of samples that needed the minus 998 00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:28,000 80 degree temps and that was by design 999 00:35:31,109 --> 00:35:29,440 by the way because we knew there was a 1000 00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:31,119 risk that we could lose power to the 1001 00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:33,200 freezer on these first couple of spacex 1002 00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:34,400 flights 1003 00:35:38,550 --> 00:35:37,040 and i'll get to that in a moment 1004 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:38,560 and 1005 00:35:43,349 --> 00:35:40,800 based on detail analysis we it turns out 1006 00:35:44,950 --> 00:35:43,359 we never did go below their lower limit 1007 00:35:46,470 --> 00:35:44,960 there has been a first look at the 1008 00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:46,480 samples and they don't see any 1009 00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:48,000 degradation 1010 00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:49,200 and of course they'll keep looking at 1011 00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:50,880 them but our final analysis says we 1012 00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:52,160 actually never went below what their 1013 00:35:57,190 --> 00:35:54,880 lower temp limit was or their upper temp 1014 00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:57,200 limit excuse me was 1015 00:36:02,150 --> 00:35:59,839 so from that respect it's okay our 1016 00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:02,160 we've been working with spacex 1017 00:36:07,589 --> 00:36:04,480 um about these particular power 1018 00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:07,599 components uh that uh provide power to 1019 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:09,920 the freezers they're they're in a lower 1020 00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:12,640 portion of the dragon that sees water at 1021 00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:14,560 splashdown 1022 00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:16,400 and they knew before that flight that 1023 00:36:19,589 --> 00:36:17,680 this this 1024 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:19,599 the way the box is sealed well it just 1025 00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:21,200 was not sealed up 1026 00:36:26,310 --> 00:36:23,920 good enough to prevent water intrusion 1027 00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:26,320 so we had this discussion uh they did 1028 00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:27,760 they did some extra things around the 1029 00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:30,160 boxes but they were already installed 1030 00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:32,800 and and so we knew uh that it was 1031 00:36:37,109 --> 00:36:34,560 possible we'd get water in there at a 1032 00:36:39,109 --> 00:36:37,119 level that would um 1033 00:36:41,109 --> 00:36:39,119 submerge these boxes that could then 1034 00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:41,119 ingest the water and then ultimately 1035 00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:43,680 fail there was one contributing factor 1036 00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:45,280 that we did fix 1037 00:36:48,630 --> 00:36:47,040 from the demo flight to the first flight 1038 00:36:50,470 --> 00:36:48,640 and that was 1039 00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:50,480 that the chutes hung on a little bit 1040 00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:52,320 longer to the spacecraft and drug it a 1041 00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:54,000 little bit which tended to bring more 1042 00:36:58,630 --> 00:36:56,480 water into this lower area faster they 1043 00:37:00,790 --> 00:36:58,640 did they did make a software change and 1044 00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:00,800 and have the shoots released quicker 1045 00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:02,880 um and so that did help i think that 1046 00:37:05,589 --> 00:37:04,160 bought us a little more time but 1047 00:37:08,470 --> 00:37:05,599 essentially the 1048 00:37:10,230 --> 00:37:08,480 the fix that was necessary was to do a 1049 00:37:12,390 --> 00:37:10,240 better job of sealing up the boxes and 1050 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:12,400 they had a redesign 1051 00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:16,160 in in their plan for a space x3 1052 00:37:21,510 --> 00:37:19,760 we've worked with spacex since then 1053 00:37:22,870 --> 00:37:21,520 to talk to them about 1054 00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:22,880 see if there's anything they could do 1055 00:37:26,550 --> 00:37:24,320 they've been very aggressive with this 1056 00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:26,560 issue they've actually went 1057 00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:29,040 and pulled the boxes for spacex ii 1058 00:37:33,190 --> 00:37:30,960 they've come up with the design fix to 1059 00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:33,200 seal up the boxes not the ultimate 1060 00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:35,040 design that they're going to do in for 1061 00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:36,880 spacex 3 where they're they're actually 1062 00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:38,560 changing the box but where they come in 1063 00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:40,640 with the sealing material 1064 00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:42,400 they test it on a box 1065 00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:44,320 in in a water tank 1066 00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:45,760 and convince themselves that they've 1067 00:37:50,470 --> 00:37:47,680 sealed them up very good 1068 00:37:53,030 --> 00:37:50,480 and so this next flight we have higher 1069 00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:53,040 confidence that we won't lose power as 1070 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:54,320 early 1071 00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:55,440 and so that 1072 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:58,000 again we probably because it's not the 1073 00:38:01,750 --> 00:38:00,240 ultimate design fix we'll still probably 1074 00:38:03,270 --> 00:38:01,760 manage 1075 00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:03,280 and try to have 1076 00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:06,160 more of the minus 20 degree 1077 00:38:10,069 --> 00:38:08,320 items in there because the freezer 1078 00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:10,079 doesn't warm up that fast even you lose 1079 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:12,400 power it touchdown 1080 00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:14,160 but but ultimately we have the 1081 00:38:17,030 --> 00:38:15,680 confidence we need to bring home some of 1082 00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:17,040 the samples that we just have to get 1083 00:38:20,230 --> 00:38:19,040 home that need the minus 80 degree temps 1084 00:38:21,829 --> 00:38:20,240 and so 1085 00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:21,839 i would tell you that we're we're a 1086 00:38:26,069 --> 00:38:24,400 little closer to nominal on spacex ii 1087 00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:26,079 and and of course the design that fix 1088 00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:27,200 that we've all agreed to will be 1089 00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:29,359 implemented on space x3 so 1090 00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:31,680 i think we've gotten ourselves past that 1091 00:38:35,990 --> 00:38:33,680 thank you and i had one other question 1092 00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:36,000 if i might for you again mike 1093 00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:37,119 we're coming 1094 00:38:41,109 --> 00:38:38,880 quick upon the 10th anniversary of the 1095 00:38:43,829 --> 00:38:41,119 columbia accident and i was hoping you 1096 00:38:45,109 --> 00:38:43,839 could spend a few minutes 1097 00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:45,119 just 1098 00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:46,400 talking about 1099 00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:48,480 lessons learned and how those lessons 1100 00:38:52,790 --> 00:38:50,160 are still alive in the space station 1101 00:38:55,990 --> 00:38:52,800 program today to make it safer better if 1102 00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:57,670 of course we all know 1103 00:39:00,950 --> 00:38:59,520 what the report said about the columbia 1104 00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:00,960 accident there was a lot of things to 1105 00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:03,359 focus on and i would tell you that the 1106 00:39:09,109 --> 00:39:05,920 primary thing 1107 00:39:11,589 --> 00:39:09,119 that we that we took away from 1108 00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:11,599 from the clubby accident was not to 1109 00:39:16,710 --> 00:39:13,440 assume 1110 00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:16,720 things that seem easy for the uh average 1111 00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:18,800 engineer to assume so 1112 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:20,400 and what i mean by that was this whole 1113 00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:22,400 discussion about the foam 1114 00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:25,200 and and how light foam is that you know 1115 00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:27,440 and then you it's it's hard for you to 1116 00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:30,560 imagine foam flying fast enough to cause 1117 00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:33,040 any real damage and intuitively it 1118 00:39:38,230 --> 00:39:34,400 sounds 1119 00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:38,240 say yeah it's just foam it'll probably 1120 00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:40,320 be okay 1121 00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:42,160 and and the bottom line is we just 1122 00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:43,680 didn't do 1123 00:39:49,270 --> 00:39:46,160 uh the right amount of analysis to 1124 00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:49,280 decide that we understood the true 1125 00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:50,640 impact of that 1126 00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:52,960 um and so to me if you boil everything 1127 00:39:58,230 --> 00:39:55,920 up that came from the that particular 1128 00:40:01,349 --> 00:39:58,240 accident i would tell you that was it uh 1129 00:40:03,829 --> 00:40:01,359 there was a there was a intuitive 1130 00:40:05,589 --> 00:40:03,839 thought that we understood that risk 1131 00:40:07,910 --> 00:40:05,599 without the appropriate amount analysis 1132 00:40:09,990 --> 00:40:07,920 to back up that intuitive thought and 1133 00:40:11,990 --> 00:40:10,000 that is today one of the strongest 1134 00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:12,000 things we work on 1135 00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:13,599 in the space business in general and 1136 00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:15,839 certainly in the iss program it is is 1137 00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:18,400 alive and well 1138 00:40:21,910 --> 00:40:20,400 that we do not we do not make those 1139 00:40:23,349 --> 00:40:21,920 assumptions now 1140 00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:23,359 you could say well 1141 00:40:26,309 --> 00:40:24,960 you don't really have the final answer 1142 00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:26,319 on anything 1143 00:40:31,589 --> 00:40:28,720 and so what you have to make sure is 1144 00:40:33,589 --> 00:40:31,599 that all the appropriate individuals 1145 00:40:36,069 --> 00:40:33,599 understand the environments that you're 1146 00:40:38,390 --> 00:40:36,079 living in so if you do make assumptions 1147 00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:38,400 and you tend to try not to make too many 1148 00:40:40,870 --> 00:40:39,440 the only people allow to make 1149 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:40,880 assumptions are the people that are 1150 00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:43,040 truly experts in their field so if they 1151 00:40:47,109 --> 00:40:45,280 tell you that based on their experience 1152 00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:47,119 this will be okay then you can feel 1153 00:40:52,309 --> 00:40:48,960 better about that as long as you 1154 00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:52,319 understand the integrated uh use of that 1155 00:40:55,990 --> 00:40:54,720 object or whatever the the system is 1156 00:40:57,109 --> 00:40:56,000 you're you're talking about as long as 1157 00:40:59,190 --> 00:40:57,119 you understand the integrated 1158 00:41:01,109 --> 00:40:59,200 environment then there are occasions 1159 00:41:02,230 --> 00:41:01,119 when you can can let experts make 1160 00:41:04,550 --> 00:41:02,240 assumptions 1161 00:41:07,670 --> 00:41:04,560 uh and explain them to you but largely 1162 00:41:10,069 --> 00:41:07,680 that is not a practice we uh 1163 00:41:12,790 --> 00:41:10,079 we use very often in almost all cases 1164 00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:12,800 for any critical systems we are doing 1165 00:41:16,390 --> 00:41:14,560 a detailed analysis to understand not 1166 00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:16,400 only what we know about that specific 1167 00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:18,960 system but how it's used how it operates 1168 00:41:23,829 --> 00:41:20,960 in the integrated environment 1169 00:41:25,829 --> 00:41:23,839 which of course is one of the big 1170 00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:25,839 big things that we didn't do in the in 1171 00:41:30,069 --> 00:41:27,839 that particular part 1172 00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:30,079 of the uh of the foam impacting the wing 1173 00:41:33,750 --> 00:41:31,839 leading edge of the of the shuttle and 1174 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:33,760 understand the slip stream that that the 1175 00:41:37,349 --> 00:41:35,599 phone was flying in and the ultimate 1176 00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:37,359 damage it could cause 1177 00:41:42,710 --> 00:41:40,000 uh so i would tell you that uh that it's 1178 00:41:45,349 --> 00:41:42,720 alive and well we did the as we as a 1179 00:41:46,710 --> 00:41:45,359 result of the cave report we did there 1180 00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:46,720 were a lot of very specific 1181 00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:48,560 recommendations and the iss program we 1182 00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:50,240 took every one of those recommendations 1183 00:41:54,870 --> 00:41:51,520 and 1184 00:41:56,550 --> 00:41:54,880 related it to how we do iss because in 1185 00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:56,560 some cases they weren't direct relatable 1186 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,560 but you could understand the concept and 1187 00:42:01,670 --> 00:42:00,000 then we did our own fix to that we 1188 00:42:04,630 --> 00:42:01,680 actually wrote a report that showed how 1189 00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:04,640 we we met the cape findings as well so 1190 00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:05,920 so we're 1191 00:42:09,670 --> 00:42:08,160 we're we're still very uh sensitive to 1192 00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:09,680 that and the lesson we learned from that 1193 00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:12,079 i think we'll stay with the agency 1194 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:22,630 okay uh jim lesher with npr washington 1195 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,270 jim are you there 1196 00:42:30,790 --> 00:42:27,109 okay now let's go to stephen clark with 1197 00:42:36,309 --> 00:42:34,470 it's my question for uh for mike um uh 1198 00:42:39,109 --> 00:42:36,319 can you give us another investigation 1199 00:42:41,589 --> 00:42:39,119 into the engine failure um during the uh 1200 00:42:43,990 --> 00:42:41,599 october spacex one launch and 1201 00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:44,000 is uh has that in closings or is that 1202 00:42:47,990 --> 00:42:46,240 still an open issue 1203 00:42:49,990 --> 00:42:48,000 that needs to be closed before march 1st 1204 00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:50,000 thanks 1205 00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:52,880 uh the spacex engine anomaly uh well 1206 00:42:57,190 --> 00:42:54,960 first of all it's not completely closed 1207 00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:57,200 uh there's still some work to wrap up 1208 00:43:00,790 --> 00:42:59,200 and do the final closure 1209 00:43:02,309 --> 00:43:00,800 and we'll get into the details at the 1210 00:43:04,309 --> 00:43:02,319 right time we'll do that with our our 1211 00:43:05,270 --> 00:43:04,319 spacex colleagues actually own that 1212 00:43:07,829 --> 00:43:05,280 system 1213 00:43:10,230 --> 00:43:07,839 and there's some sensitivities in in in 1214 00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:10,240 all of this that we try to avoid 1215 00:43:14,710 --> 00:43:12,240 but i can tell you that a very thorough 1216 00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,720 review was uh conducted there was an 1217 00:43:18,870 --> 00:43:16,640 enormous amount of data 1218 00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:18,880 uh provided um 1219 00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:21,839 that the nasa engine guys and structures 1220 00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:24,400 guys uh and system guy propulsion system 1221 00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:26,720 guys all participated 1222 00:43:29,910 --> 00:43:28,480 with the spacex team to review the 1223 00:43:31,030 --> 00:43:29,920 anomaly 1224 00:43:34,710 --> 00:43:31,040 as 1225 00:43:36,470 --> 00:43:34,720 failure like this on a system you don't 1226 00:43:39,270 --> 00:43:36,480 get back 1227 00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:39,280 it was hard to find a specific smoking 1228 00:43:44,470 --> 00:43:41,680 gun to point to 1229 00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:44,480 but a number of of uh things 1230 00:43:49,990 --> 00:43:47,520 were believed to be contributors 1231 00:43:51,270 --> 00:43:50,000 that have been been looked at and and 1232 00:43:53,670 --> 00:43:51,280 the engines actually have been 1233 00:43:56,710 --> 00:43:53,680 re-examined 1234 00:43:58,710 --> 00:43:56,720 nde examinations to confirm 1235 00:44:00,150 --> 00:43:58,720 the health of the engines that are about 1236 00:44:02,150 --> 00:44:00,160 to fly 1237 00:44:03,910 --> 00:44:02,160 in addition to that a contributing 1238 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:03,920 factor 1239 00:44:07,190 --> 00:44:05,440 was perhaps 1240 00:44:08,950 --> 00:44:07,200 the amount of testing that this engine 1241 00:44:10,390 --> 00:44:08,960 and engine two on that same vehicle saw 1242 00:44:11,829 --> 00:44:10,400 before it flew 1243 00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:11,839 although it was 1244 00:44:15,030 --> 00:44:13,839 certified and all the testing it went 1245 00:44:17,430 --> 00:44:15,040 through 1246 00:44:18,710 --> 00:44:17,440 none of those tests violated any of the 1247 00:44:20,390 --> 00:44:18,720 design 1248 00:44:22,230 --> 00:44:20,400 criteria of the engine 1249 00:44:23,829 --> 00:44:22,240 it's possible that the amount of testing 1250 00:44:26,150 --> 00:44:23,839 that they were exposed to might have 1251 00:44:29,109 --> 00:44:26,160 been a contributing factor 1252 00:44:31,430 --> 00:44:29,119 and these engines flying on is flying on 1253 00:44:33,190 --> 00:44:31,440 this next flight are all 1254 00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:33,200 new engines that have been acceptance 1255 00:44:36,870 --> 00:44:34,880 tested but really have not participated 1256 00:44:39,109 --> 00:44:36,880 in other test programs 1257 00:44:40,870 --> 00:44:39,119 so the combination of the additional nde 1258 00:44:42,390 --> 00:44:40,880 of the well i should say of the failure 1259 00:44:43,670 --> 00:44:42,400 investigation 1260 00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:43,680 what legs of the fall tree were 1261 00:44:48,550 --> 00:44:46,160 remaining the nde extra nde that's been 1262 00:44:50,309 --> 00:44:48,560 done to these engines 1263 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:50,319 and the fact that these engines are all 1264 00:44:53,990 --> 00:44:51,440 uh 1265 00:44:55,589 --> 00:44:54,000 from a from a fl from a test time 1266 00:44:58,150 --> 00:44:55,599 standpoint have very 1267 00:45:00,150 --> 00:44:58,160 uh low test time on them additional test 1268 00:45:02,069 --> 00:45:00,160 time other than what is necessary to 1269 00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:02,079 certify the engine for flight 1270 00:45:05,430 --> 00:45:02,960 um 1271 00:45:07,270 --> 00:45:05,440 will will help us conclude that the 1272 00:45:10,069 --> 00:45:07,280 engines we have on on this particular 1273 00:45:12,309 --> 00:45:10,079 spacex flight are are good to go again 1274 00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:12,319 we haven't officially determined that um 1275 00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:13,760 the nde 1276 00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:16,480 uh work is uh is concluded but the 1277 00:45:19,910 --> 00:45:18,480 review of the data 1278 00:45:22,309 --> 00:45:19,920 is not 1279 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:22,319 so that work has to to to wrap up and 1280 00:45:26,150 --> 00:45:24,480 then there'll be a more formal uh report 1281 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:26,160 at the end 1282 00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:29,520 okay how about bill harwood with cbs 1283 00:45:32,950 --> 00:45:31,440 oh yeah hey uh hi it's bill hart with 1284 00:45:35,190 --> 00:45:32,960 cbs news a couple of quick ones for 1285 00:45:36,630 --> 00:45:35,200 stuff mr suffredani um is there any 1286 00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:36,640 reason you can't tell us what they think 1287 00:45:39,109 --> 00:45:38,079 is the cause of the engine anomaly i 1288 00:45:41,750 --> 00:45:39,119 mean one of the things that's different 1289 00:45:43,190 --> 00:45:41,760 about this commercial program is 1290 00:45:44,790 --> 00:45:43,200 you know the lack of insight people on 1291 00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:44,800 the outside have in term terms of what's 1292 00:45:48,069 --> 00:45:46,000 going on i mean you're telling me that 1293 00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:48,079 you guys know what's going on but i'm 1294 00:45:51,910 --> 00:45:50,079 just curious if you're contractually 1295 00:45:53,270 --> 00:45:51,920 prevented from telling us 1296 00:45:54,870 --> 00:45:53,280 and second question i wonder if you go 1297 00:45:56,390 --> 00:45:54,880 over a little bit about 1298 00:45:57,670 --> 00:45:56,400 bigelow and 1299 00:45:59,030 --> 00:45:57,680 you know how that thing's going to work 1300 00:46:00,550 --> 00:45:59,040 you know how often the hatch will be 1301 00:46:01,910 --> 00:46:00,560 open for example things you hope to 1302 00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:01,920 learn that sort of thing just kind of a 1303 00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:03,520 general overview of 1304 00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:06,160 the bigelow operation thanks 1305 00:46:09,030 --> 00:46:08,160 certainly i'll be glad to uh first of 1306 00:46:11,589 --> 00:46:09,040 all 1307 00:46:13,349 --> 00:46:11,599 this is kind of a new world for 1308 00:46:15,910 --> 00:46:13,359 for all of us 1309 00:46:18,230 --> 00:46:15,920 you know the spacex vehicle 1310 00:46:20,309 --> 00:46:18,240 is the propriety of 1311 00:46:22,150 --> 00:46:20,319 of the spacex corporation and so 1312 00:46:25,270 --> 00:46:22,160 therefore there are 1313 00:46:27,670 --> 00:46:25,280 the and the engines as you well know um 1314 00:46:29,349 --> 00:46:27,680 are very sensitive items they're 1315 00:46:30,710 --> 00:46:29,359 sensitive export control items and 1316 00:46:33,109 --> 00:46:30,720 they're certainly 1317 00:46:35,750 --> 00:46:33,119 sensitive proprietary 1318 00:46:38,309 --> 00:46:35,760 systems and so 1319 00:46:40,870 --> 00:46:38,319 so in that respect the reason why nasa 1320 00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:40,880 gets a large amount of data is we've 1321 00:46:46,309 --> 00:46:43,760 agreed not to disclose this data 1322 00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:46,319 ultimately i think the 1323 00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:47,520 the 1324 00:46:53,030 --> 00:46:50,800 anomaly 1325 00:46:55,349 --> 00:46:53,040 as we've talked about before is is 1326 00:46:57,670 --> 00:46:55,359 probably has to do with a 1327 00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:57,680 breach of the 1328 00:47:01,109 --> 00:47:00,319 chamber the pressure chamber 1329 00:47:10,069 --> 00:47:01,119 and 1330 00:47:11,670 --> 00:47:10,079 the potential contributing factors are 1331 00:47:13,349 --> 00:47:11,680 they are not a concern for these engines 1332 00:47:14,309 --> 00:47:13,359 that are about to fly 1333 00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:14,319 and 1334 00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:16,560 if i got into much more specifics than 1335 00:47:21,270 --> 00:47:19,599 that then i'm i'd be treading perhaps on 1336 00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:21,280 a proprietary information and so in 1337 00:47:25,030 --> 00:47:23,040 order to to 1338 00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:25,040 make sure i don't talk about anything 1339 00:47:30,069 --> 00:47:28,160 that we shouldn't disclose at this point 1340 00:47:32,069 --> 00:47:30,079 i can tell you that 1341 00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:32,079 from a nasa 1342 00:47:36,309 --> 00:47:33,760 and u.s government standpoint we have 1343 00:47:37,829 --> 00:47:36,319 been deeply involved and are completely 1344 00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:37,839 satisfied that the right amount of work 1345 00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:39,760 has been done on these systems 1346 00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:41,520 as far as communicating up and out we 1347 00:47:46,870 --> 00:47:44,720 will rely on spacex to ultimately 1348 00:47:48,790 --> 00:47:46,880 talk at some of the some of the level of 1349 00:47:51,589 --> 00:47:48,800 detail so it's just kind of a 1350 00:47:55,109 --> 00:47:51,599 a balancing act we do to make sure we 1351 00:47:57,829 --> 00:47:55,119 are sensitive to the the corporate 1352 00:48:00,470 --> 00:47:57,839 needs while at the same time getting the 1353 00:48:02,549 --> 00:48:00,480 right amount of information out there 1354 00:48:04,790 --> 00:48:02,559 both within nasa and as much as we can 1355 00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:04,800 out to the general public 1356 00:48:09,589 --> 00:48:07,680 the bigelow module 1357 00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:09,599 is really a i'll call it a structural 1358 00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:10,640 test 1359 00:48:16,950 --> 00:48:13,760 module for the iss 1360 00:48:19,030 --> 00:48:16,960 it will be attached to the iss on the af 1361 00:48:21,750 --> 00:48:19,040 port of node three 1362 00:48:23,990 --> 00:48:21,760 uh it will be inflated 1363 00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:24,000 and then really the objective then is to 1364 00:48:27,190 --> 00:48:25,760 test 1365 00:48:29,510 --> 00:48:27,200 that 1366 00:48:32,470 --> 00:48:29,520 kind of module technology inflatable 1367 00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:32,480 technology long duration 1368 00:48:38,230 --> 00:48:35,760 in space uh really structurally speaking 1369 00:48:39,910 --> 00:48:38,240 um it's a it's a big player we'll we'll 1370 00:48:41,430 --> 00:48:39,920 do a little bit of understanding the 1371 00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:41,440 flow within it 1372 00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:43,200 um 1373 00:48:50,309 --> 00:48:43,920 but 1374 00:48:53,349 --> 00:48:50,319 module or part of a technology 1375 00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:53,359 demonstration on board iss 1376 00:48:58,150 --> 00:48:56,000 as such in order to keep the 1377 00:49:00,069 --> 00:48:58,160 integration costs down 1378 00:49:01,190 --> 00:49:00,079 we don't intend to make it a habitable 1379 00:49:03,829 --> 00:49:01,200 module 1380 00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:03,839 for iss it certainly could be used 1381 00:49:08,309 --> 00:49:06,000 for stowage if we so chose and and 1382 00:49:10,390 --> 00:49:08,319 that'll perhaps be a discussion for for 1383 00:49:11,829 --> 00:49:10,400 the future but the operational concepts 1384 00:49:13,910 --> 00:49:11,839 as soon as the crew will not be in and 1385 00:49:16,309 --> 00:49:13,920 out of there a lot uh they need to get 1386 00:49:18,470 --> 00:49:16,319 in there to configure it 1387 00:49:20,790 --> 00:49:18,480 but for the most part they won't go in 1388 00:49:23,109 --> 00:49:20,800 there as a matter of course 1389 00:49:25,829 --> 00:49:23,119 and and that allowed us to reduce some 1390 00:49:27,750 --> 00:49:25,839 of the normal things you put in a module 1391 00:49:30,309 --> 00:49:27,760 to make sure it's safe for the crew so 1392 00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:30,319 because of the need to keep the cost 1393 00:49:34,790 --> 00:49:32,720 down because really this is a 1394 00:49:37,430 --> 00:49:34,800 technology demonstration 1395 00:49:39,829 --> 00:49:37,440 capability we've 1396 00:49:41,829 --> 00:49:39,839 we've done that by assuming that the 1397 00:49:43,750 --> 00:49:41,839 crew won't be in and out of there on a 1398 00:49:45,349 --> 00:49:43,760 regular basis hopefully that kind of 1399 00:49:47,030 --> 00:49:45,359 answered your question 1400 00:49:48,950 --> 00:49:47,040 yeah it does thanks a lot 1401 00:49:55,589 --> 00:49:48,960 okay let's go to dana with abc news 1402 00:49:59,270 --> 00:49:57,190 okay let's go to james dean florida 1403 00:50:01,270 --> 00:49:59,280 today 1404 00:50:03,589 --> 00:50:01,280 thanks uh mr suffredini could you just 1405 00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:03,599 provide a quick primer on the the ku 1406 00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:06,079 system and and why it's so important and 1407 00:50:08,549 --> 00:50:07,760 and i guess what the impact would be if 1408 00:50:12,950 --> 00:50:08,559 you 1409 00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:12,960 backup as well and and then also i was 1410 00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:14,720 just curious why i think you you've said 1411 00:50:20,230 --> 00:50:18,240 that you are considering three evas um 1412 00:50:22,549 --> 00:50:20,240 is that um 1413 00:50:24,950 --> 00:50:22,559 that just seemed like quite a lot for um 1414 00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:24,960 what you only identified i think one 1415 00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:29,040 sort of major uh 1416 00:50:32,470 --> 00:50:30,800 problem that needs repair and i just was 1417 00:50:34,309 --> 00:50:32,480 wondering what what the rest of the 1418 00:50:36,950 --> 00:50:34,319 content might be 1419 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:36,960 uh certainly um 1420 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:40,160 i'll do your last question first 1421 00:50:50,549 --> 00:50:41,520 the 1422 00:50:52,390 --> 00:50:50,559 amount of research time on board 1423 00:50:54,790 --> 00:50:52,400 as you as you know 1424 00:50:56,950 --> 00:50:54,800 eva time uh 1425 00:50:59,190 --> 00:50:56,960 we we estimate about 100 hours to 1426 00:51:00,390 --> 00:50:59,200 prepare for and conduct 1427 00:51:01,990 --> 00:51:00,400 an eba 1428 00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:02,000 all of that would come out of time 1429 00:51:06,630 --> 00:51:04,240 available for research 1430 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:06,640 and anomalies don't schedule themselves 1431 00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:08,480 up according to when is best for the 1432 00:51:11,990 --> 00:51:10,640 research guys to go outside and fix them 1433 00:51:13,589 --> 00:51:12,000 and so 1434 00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:13,599 we have to try to figure out a way to 1435 00:51:18,150 --> 00:51:15,920 manage our lives around that 1436 00:51:19,829 --> 00:51:18,160 one way to do that is you pick the best 1437 00:51:21,670 --> 00:51:19,839 time in the increment when you know 1438 00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:21,680 based on traffic and other things going 1439 00:51:25,910 --> 00:51:24,240 on when you could fit this 1440 00:51:27,990 --> 00:51:25,920 activity in and then 1441 00:51:30,549 --> 00:51:28,000 when you think about the work necessary 1442 00:51:31,990 --> 00:51:30,559 to prepare for part prepare for an eva 1443 00:51:34,150 --> 00:51:32,000 part of that work is to configure the 1444 00:51:36,150 --> 00:51:34,160 airlock get the suits out 1445 00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:36,160 check out the suits fit the suits to the 1446 00:51:40,150 --> 00:51:37,440 crew 1447 00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:40,160 once you've done all that you've you've 1448 00:51:43,750 --> 00:51:42,400 that's work you'd like to not repeat so 1449 00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:43,760 if you know all the work you're going to 1450 00:51:47,270 --> 00:51:45,040 go do 1451 00:51:48,630 --> 00:51:47,280 what you try to do is um 1452 00:51:50,309 --> 00:51:48,640 is to 1453 00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:50,319 get as many aviation as you can before 1454 00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:51,680 you have to go 1455 00:51:54,549 --> 00:51:53,520 recheck the suits or 1456 00:52:00,870 --> 00:51:54,559 or 1457 00:52:01,750 --> 00:52:00,880 go to eva if it's been quite a bit of 1458 00:52:03,589 --> 00:52:01,760 time 1459 00:52:04,549 --> 00:52:03,599 so there's an efficiency to trying to go 1460 00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:04,559 outside 1461 00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:07,280 a few times in a row you can't do a 1462 00:52:11,030 --> 00:52:08,880 whole bunch the the crew would be 1463 00:52:12,390 --> 00:52:11,040 exhausted and ultimately you got to get 1464 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:12,400 back to 1465 00:52:16,470 --> 00:52:13,680 doing the research but if you know you 1466 00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:16,480 got enough tasks to keep you busy 1467 00:52:20,230 --> 00:52:18,960 then then you try to get as much of 1468 00:52:22,549 --> 00:52:20,240 those done if you know you got them 1469 00:52:25,910 --> 00:52:22,559 coming so we have a list of things that 1470 00:52:29,910 --> 00:52:25,920 need to be done uh on the iss 1471 00:52:31,589 --> 00:52:29,920 um some that are are time critical 1472 00:52:33,349 --> 00:52:31,599 and some that aren't but they're this 1473 00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:33,359 they just have to happen 1474 00:52:38,230 --> 00:52:34,160 uh 1475 00:52:40,230 --> 00:52:38,240 sarge joints we're finding now that is 1476 00:52:43,030 --> 00:52:40,240 probably gonna we're gonna need to lube 1477 00:52:45,109 --> 00:52:43,040 them probably within the next year or so 1478 00:52:46,390 --> 00:52:45,119 uh and so uh that's on the list of 1479 00:52:49,270 --> 00:52:46,400 things to do now 1480 00:52:50,870 --> 00:52:49,280 this ku transceiver problem is something 1481 00:52:52,710 --> 00:52:50,880 we'll have to go do we have to finish 1482 00:52:55,030 --> 00:52:52,720 running the cables 1483 00:52:57,109 --> 00:52:55,040 from the u.s segment to the interface to 1484 00:52:59,109 --> 00:52:57,119 the russian segment these are the power 1485 00:53:01,109 --> 00:52:59,119 and data cables 1486 00:53:03,910 --> 00:53:01,119 for the mlm so we have to complete that 1487 00:53:05,829 --> 00:53:03,920 task we have a pma2 cover that we need 1488 00:53:08,470 --> 00:53:05,839 to put on 1489 00:53:10,309 --> 00:53:08,480 and we have an ams uh has a new blanket 1490 00:53:12,309 --> 00:53:10,319 we're trying to install 1491 00:53:14,069 --> 00:53:12,319 to reduce some of the thermal 1492 00:53:15,750 --> 00:53:14,079 issues that it sees that we have to 1493 00:53:18,069 --> 00:53:15,760 protect for today 1494 00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:18,079 and i'm sure i'm forgetting some so as 1495 00:53:21,589 --> 00:53:19,760 you you just hear that list you can 1496 00:53:23,589 --> 00:53:21,599 figure out that all of these have to be 1497 00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:23,599 done at some point and so you try to 1498 00:53:27,829 --> 00:53:25,520 figure the best if you don't have to run 1499 00:53:29,430 --> 00:53:27,839 outside tomorrow to fix a critical 1500 00:53:31,589 --> 00:53:29,440 system then you try to pick a time when 1501 00:53:33,030 --> 00:53:31,599 you can do it knowing that by the time 1502 00:53:34,630 --> 00:53:33,040 you get there there may be something 1503 00:53:36,150 --> 00:53:34,640 else that's more important than some of 1504 00:53:37,190 --> 00:53:36,160 these other items and you'll stick it on 1505 00:53:39,829 --> 00:53:37,200 the list 1506 00:53:41,829 --> 00:53:39,839 and that goes to the next thing which is 1507 00:53:42,870 --> 00:53:41,839 when we used to do shuttle flights crews 1508 00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:42,880 trained 1509 00:53:47,670 --> 00:53:45,440 it was something to seven to ten to one 1510 00:53:49,589 --> 00:53:47,680 for each task you're gonna do 1511 00:53:51,510 --> 00:53:49,599 outside we don't do that in the iss 1512 00:53:53,829 --> 00:53:51,520 program by the time the guys finish 1513 00:53:55,910 --> 00:53:53,839 training and get to orbit and actually 1514 00:53:57,510 --> 00:53:55,920 go outside for the eva several months 1515 00:53:59,109 --> 00:53:57,520 have usually passed 1516 00:54:02,069 --> 00:53:59,119 and during that time other things can 1517 00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:02,079 happen and so we will we train the crew 1518 00:54:05,030 --> 00:54:03,280 on the ground for what we think they're 1519 00:54:07,190 --> 00:54:05,040 going to have we train them generically 1520 00:54:09,349 --> 00:54:07,200 to to do 1521 00:54:11,190 --> 00:54:09,359 kind of normal maintenance out outside 1522 00:54:13,190 --> 00:54:11,200 but what that means is you have to plan 1523 00:54:15,030 --> 00:54:13,200 more time for an eva for any one task 1524 00:54:17,030 --> 00:54:15,040 than we used to in the shuttle program 1525 00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:17,040 so those two things combined not knowing 1526 00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:18,480 exactly what you're doing not training 1527 00:54:22,870 --> 00:54:20,400 at the same level it says it takes a 1528 00:54:24,309 --> 00:54:22,880 little longer to go out to do the just 1529 00:54:26,309 --> 00:54:24,319 whatever the task is takes a little 1530 00:54:28,069 --> 00:54:26,319 longer and so if you've got a lot of 1531 00:54:29,670 --> 00:54:28,079 tests to do you should probably assume 1532 00:54:30,790 --> 00:54:29,680 that it'll take more than one eba and 1533 00:54:32,870 --> 00:54:30,800 then of course there's the things you 1534 00:54:35,270 --> 00:54:32,880 run into once you go outside 1535 00:54:38,150 --> 00:54:35,280 so that's uh that's how we schedule it 1536 00:54:40,069 --> 00:54:38,160 scheduled up the ku problem we have of 1537 00:54:42,549 --> 00:54:40,079 course it's already done it's redundant 1538 00:54:43,670 --> 00:54:42,559 ku system is considered crit 3 but over 1539 00:54:45,990 --> 00:54:43,680 the years 1540 00:54:47,910 --> 00:54:46,000 we've become to rely on it heavily and 1541 00:54:48,870 --> 00:54:47,920 so it used to not be a redundant system 1542 00:54:50,309 --> 00:54:48,880 we 1543 00:54:51,589 --> 00:54:50,319 towards the end of the shuttle program 1544 00:54:53,589 --> 00:54:51,599 one of the things one of the mods we 1545 00:54:54,950 --> 00:54:53,599 made to station was add a redundant ku 1546 00:54:56,390 --> 00:54:54,960 system 1547 00:54:58,549 --> 00:54:56,400 and so fortunately we've done that and 1548 00:55:00,470 --> 00:54:58,559 we're not losing any data 1549 00:55:02,390 --> 00:55:00,480 but all the video you see a lot of the 1550 00:55:04,150 --> 00:55:02,400 data that comes down comes through the 1551 00:55:06,230 --> 00:55:04,160 ku system we've 1552 00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:06,240 we have a very very limited uplink 1553 00:55:09,990 --> 00:55:07,760 capability in fact it wasn't in the 1554 00:55:11,829 --> 00:55:10,000 original design to do uplink but we 1555 00:55:14,150 --> 00:55:11,839 figured out how to do that 1556 00:55:16,870 --> 00:55:14,160 so that we can use it not only not only 1557 00:55:19,030 --> 00:55:16,880 for getting research 1558 00:55:21,510 --> 00:55:19,040 things up but actually primarily for the 1559 00:55:23,349 --> 00:55:21,520 operations team to use it to get images 1560 00:55:25,030 --> 00:55:23,359 up and video up for the crew it's it's 1561 00:55:26,309 --> 00:55:25,040 really much more helpful a picture is 1562 00:55:28,390 --> 00:55:26,319 worth a thousand words when you're 1563 00:55:29,910 --> 00:55:28,400 trying to do things on orbit 1564 00:55:32,870 --> 00:55:29,920 and so this has become something we've 1565 00:55:34,549 --> 00:55:32,880 relied on uh the the new com system that 1566 00:55:36,069 --> 00:55:34,559 you'll hear us talk about that we're 1567 00:55:37,109 --> 00:55:36,079 about to install here in the next few 1568 00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:37,119 months we 1569 00:55:42,309 --> 00:55:40,240 refer to it as the as the icu 1570 00:55:44,710 --> 00:55:42,319 will actually double the downlink 1571 00:55:46,150 --> 00:55:44,720 capability and provide 25 1572 00:55:48,069 --> 00:55:46,160 megabits up 1573 00:55:50,230 --> 00:55:48,079 so we can even utilize the ku system 1574 00:55:51,990 --> 00:55:50,240 where it also is adding a couple of 1575 00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:52,000 comm loops for the crew 1576 00:55:56,230 --> 00:55:53,520 so we can have more discussions in 1577 00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:56,240 different modules so so we're becoming a 1578 00:56:00,470 --> 00:55:58,559 very reliant on the ku system even 1579 00:56:01,750 --> 00:56:00,480 though it's a crit 3 system and so 1580 00:56:04,549 --> 00:56:01,760 making sure we have this redundant 1581 00:56:07,190 --> 00:56:04,559 capability is is becoming important to 1582 00:56:09,270 --> 00:56:07,200 us we can live without it for sure 1583 00:56:11,349 --> 00:56:09,280 but it would be a big impact if we lost 1584 00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:11,359 it 1585 00:56:20,950 --> 00:56:19,119 simply put is is this then like the main 1586 00:56:23,109 --> 00:56:20,960 your main communications link between 1587 00:56:25,510 --> 00:56:23,119 the ground and the station 1588 00:56:27,670 --> 00:56:25,520 well i would say uh crit three is just 1589 00:56:30,309 --> 00:56:27,680 the lower the the highest criticality in 1590 00:56:32,150 --> 00:56:30,319 iss is one and it's it's for vehicle and 1591 00:56:34,630 --> 00:56:32,160 crew safety is and if that's required 1592 00:56:36,789 --> 00:56:34,640 then those systems are crit one systems 1593 00:56:38,870 --> 00:56:36,799 the eclipse systems the s-band 1594 00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:38,880 communication system that is our primary 1595 00:56:42,950 --> 00:56:40,960 command and control capability the iss 1596 00:56:46,069 --> 00:56:42,960 is considered crit one and has all the 1597 00:56:48,549 --> 00:56:46,079 redundancies necessary uh for crit one a 1598 00:56:50,549 --> 00:56:48,559 system crit three is just the lowest 1599 00:56:51,910 --> 00:56:50,559 criticality it's it's not something you 1600 00:56:54,069 --> 00:56:51,920 have to have 1601 00:56:55,990 --> 00:56:54,079 um and what's happened is we've become 1602 00:56:57,910 --> 00:56:56,000 so reliant on it and we like its 1603 00:56:59,829 --> 00:56:57,920 capability so much and it saves us so 1604 00:57:01,430 --> 00:56:59,839 much time 1605 00:57:03,349 --> 00:57:01,440 that we've 1606 00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:03,359 we want to get it 1607 00:57:07,750 --> 00:57:05,280 redundant so that we don't have to live 1608 00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:07,760 without it but the primary means for 1609 00:57:11,430 --> 00:57:09,440 command and control of the international 1610 00:57:13,589 --> 00:57:11,440 space station is through the s-band 1611 00:57:15,109 --> 00:57:13,599 communication system which is uh the 1612 00:57:19,589 --> 00:57:15,119 highest criticality and has all the 1613 00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:20,549 okay 1614 00:57:27,990 --> 00:57:22,240 let's see if tamara dietrich is there 1615 00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:30,309 damn are you there 1616 00:57:34,870 --> 00:57:31,920 okay well that's going to wrap it up for 1617 00:57:36,630 --> 00:57:34,880 us coming up at 1 pm central time 2 pm 1618 00:57:38,950 --> 00:57:36,640 eastern time here on nasa television we 1619 00:57:40,470 --> 00:57:38,960 will have the expedition 35 1620 00:57:43,030 --> 00:57:40,480 crew news conference with the entire 1621 00:57:44,470 --> 00:57:43,040 crew pablo vinogradov alexander misurkin 1622 00:57:45,750 --> 00:57:44,480 and chris cassidy will be here taking 1623 00:57:46,549 --> 00:57:45,760
