1
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:35,030
contracts

2
00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:37,350
good afternoon i don't undress anyone in

3
00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:38,559
particular

4
00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:50,709
so the questions will be the emergency

5
00:01:05,149 --> 00:01:02,470
so you will uh go according uh

6
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:05,159
the cyclogram the failures the

7
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:09,200
documentation all the procedures

8
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,310
choose your commission

9
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:20,550
please proceed closer to the railing are

10
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,109
yet please go ahead with your questions

11
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:35,109
so you will have to fly not to two days

12
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,640
but two of four just for a few hours is

13
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:40,880
it a relief or is it a

14
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:43,680
trial for you well it is trial and

15
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,159
relief at the same time

16
00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:48,000
oh i think it's much more interesting

17
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:51,040
when you fly faster it's just like in a

18
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:55,600
train you know whether you uh take by

19
00:02:02,149 --> 00:01:59,119
fast rain sap sun four hours or

20
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,159
uh much longer it's a big difference so

21
00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:04,000
in the system of the training has

22
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:06,799
anything changed uh did you have to take

23
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:09,520
some new exams actually we didn't have

24
00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:12,560
any new exams because all of the systems

25
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:14,720
of the vehicle

26
00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:17,520
they are the same but

27
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:20,319
the work is more intense

28
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:21,840
we

29
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:25,120
are no new systems or modes in the

30
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:28,480
vehicle uh but the coordination work of

31
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:30,800
the crew of course should be better

32
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:33,920
that's all so apart from the

33
00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,560
experiments made especially for the 60th

34
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,239
anniversary of this station will you

35
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:40,800
have to perform any new experiments this

36
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:41,920
time

37
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:44,400
we have actually a big uh

38
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:46,720
program of experiments

39
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:50,000
60 years anniversary actually is more

40
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:52,319
load than a celebration for me it would

41
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:54,959
be better for me 30 or 40 year

42
00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:57,360
anniversary we have a very intense

43
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:00,800
program of research june uh will be very

44
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:03,680
intensive months there will be russian

45
00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:07,200
evas and american evas we will be ready

46
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:10,159
to receive a few vehicles uh american

47
00:03:14,949 --> 00:03:12,800
european and our russian vehicles

48
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,959
it's a very intense

49
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,480
uh schedule

50
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:18,640
so what research experiments will you

51
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:21,920
perform on this station

52
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,000
the research experiments are within the

53
00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:26,959
framework of the research program that a

54
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:29,200
few increments have been doing on the

55
00:03:33,350 --> 00:03:30,239
station

56
00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,360
for example we will uh complete uh a

57
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:35,920
whole series of experiments uh that are

58
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,159
called plasma crystal

59
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,319
uh it uh has been performed on the

60
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:42,560
station for over 10 years

61
00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:45,280
so this will be completed and also will

62
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,400
be new experiments on biotechnology

63
00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:51,120
uh that are traditional uh of course

64
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:54,239
trend uh but it is a continuation of the

65
00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:55,120
bio

66
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,519
technology experiment there will be many

67
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:00,319
technical experiments and stuff well i

68
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,640
can go on and on about a research

69
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:04,080
program

70
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:05,760
so how was

71
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:09,439
your training complicated well i am in

72
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:11,680
the group of the very experienced

73
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:12,959
colleagues

74
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:14,959
i think probably it could have been more

75
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:16,959
complicated if my colleagues have not

76
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:19,759
been so experienced in this case i'm

77
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,560
just trying to be

78
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:24,560
as good as them

79
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,360
what i am expecting i think any person

80
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:29,520
expects uh from

81
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,639
uh an adventure that i am going to have

82
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:34,560
i think it's a big adventure it's a

83
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,199
great event for me

84
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:39,040
you know are you scared of anything i

85
00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:40,880
think uh you know the questions of

86
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:43,199
whether we you are scared or not and

87
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:45,840
what you're scared of should be asked at

88
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:48,960
the very beginning stage of the training

89
00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:50,800
i think it is too late to ask this

90
00:05:05,990 --> 00:04:58,550
please wave to us

91
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:26,390
thank you

92
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:51,749
foreign

00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:54,550
chairman of the examination board

94
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,240
the prime crew of seiu's tema 8 is ready

95
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:00,639
for the qualification exams expedition

96
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:02,240
35 36

97
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:14,870
so the documents are here

yes you've done everything

102
00:06:58,710 --> 00:06:56,000
you know you will have to talk about

103
00:07:04,870 --> 00:06:58,720
communication

104
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:18,550
mind the steps please

105
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:21,990
we will have to perform uh the program

106
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:24,240
as it should be without any failures

107
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:28,720
that will be the main task of our crow

108
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:30,800
for me it's just the uh uh the

109
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:32,800
camaraderie of the international crew

110
00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:35,599
that we have with uh canadian

111
00:07:40,550 --> 00:07:39,039
american russian and then italian uh

112
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:40,560
luke when luca arrives later in the

113
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:42,240
increment so that that camaraderie of

114
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:43,680
all of us together working together on

115
00:07:47,670 --> 00:07:45,120
the international space station very

116
00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:51,350
i have nothing to add to pio vadinger

117
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:52,720
words

118
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:54,560
i also think that

119
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:55,919
it should be

120
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:57,039
the most

121
00:08:04,550 --> 00:07:58,400
exciting

122
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:06,150
yesterday you were

123
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:09,440
taking exams on the russian segment

124
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:12,400
how were the results of the exams

125
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:15,680
we are satisfied we you know received a

126
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:20,550
a very good grade so everything was

127
00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:22,720
nominal yeah it we could have been

128
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:24,319
better but unfortunately they didn't

129
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:29,029
okay so

130
00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:30,319
good luck

131
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:33,039
to you and shake your hand so who should

132
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:43,509
please look here look at us

133
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:12,230
so you are ready to go

134
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:24,389
please

135
00:10:08,550 --> 00:09:59,190
uh

136
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:31,350
yes

137
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:34,230
well they are smiling

138
00:10:38,310 --> 00:10:36,399
so the backup crew is ready for the

139
00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:38,320
training

140
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:39,839
how are you feeling

141
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:41,200
great

142
00:10:52,069 --> 00:10:50,790
so you have analyzed everything you are

143
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:52,079
prepared

144
00:11:09,190 --> 00:10:54,240
yes i had breakfast

145
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:24,790
any questions

146
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:26,790
so what was the specifics of the

147
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,560
training of the backup crew any uh

148
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:31,920
difficulties

149
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:34,640
so you had an exam on friday

150
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:37,040
what is the difference

151
00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:38,800
i think the big difference

152
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:41,519
of our training is that all operations

153
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:44,880
that usually were done over two days

154
00:11:49,590 --> 00:11:48,640
time were compressed to just six hours

155
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:49,600
so

156
00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:51,920
but actually all the operations were the

157
00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:54,399
same but we had to be more

158
00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:56,000
uh

159
00:12:02,150 --> 00:11:59,680
intense

160
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:02,160
in english i know you know english um

161
00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:04,000
you're about to make a historical flight

162
00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:05,839
a six-hour flight instead of the regular

163
00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:08,160
20 the regular 48 hours

164
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:09,600
um what type of preparation would you

165
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:10,959
have to do that

166
00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:13,200
in um comparison with your predecessors

167
00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:15,279
who flew before you

168
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:17,040
yeah the preparation for the six-hour

169
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,600
flight uh has for the most part been

170
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:21,680
very similar to what we've uh what we

171
00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:23,279
trained with before

172
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:24,800
there's just been some adjustments to

173
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:26,000
the program

174
00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,000
and the flight program and so we just

175
00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:30,320
had to go through that several times but

176
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:41,670
thanks a lot

177
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,790
what is your opinion

178
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,790
what the most difficult

179
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:07,269
stages will the crew face

180
00:13:12,550 --> 00:13:10,160
well there might be many difficulties uh

181
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:12,560
that's why the training of the crew

182
00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:14,959
takes so long the peculiarities of this

183
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:18,079
flight uh are the following uh the first

184
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:21,680
time we will try the the shot

185
00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:25,040
approach to the station uh we tried as a

186
00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:33,430
cargo vehicle so we had some experience

187
00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:37,120
of this short approach

188
00:13:41,110 --> 00:13:38,959
but we're trying it for the first time

189
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:41,120
for demand flight uh

190
00:13:45,509 --> 00:13:43,120
that was the reason for the changes in

191
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:45,519
our examination

192
00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:48,399
uh scheduled

193
00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:51,360
so the mode uh for the approach actually

194
00:13:56,790 --> 00:13:54,639
is continuous uh it's not intermittent

195
00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:56,800
that's why we had to change uh

196
00:14:01,990 --> 00:13:59,760
examination program a bit too

197
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:02,000
we hope everything will be nominal and

198
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:03,920
the crew knows what to do in case of

199
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:06,240
failures

200
00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:10,399
and we always have a backup um

201
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:13,040
in case of any failures of the

202
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:16,160
navigation and in the approach system

203
00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:18,720
and we will just go to the long

204
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:21,760
uh way of approach that we had before in

205
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:30,949
so uh a few colleagues a lot of

206
00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:33,839
colleagues of yours uh had

207
00:14:40,069 --> 00:14:37,040
the long day flights uh before

208
00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:40,079
so why uh it was for so long if it is

209
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:42,639
possible to have a short actually orbit

210
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:43,680
approach

211
00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:44,480
well

212
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:46,240
it's a long story

213
00:14:51,670 --> 00:14:48,399
before you know actually at the very

214
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:51,680
first stage uh we had this short orbit

215
00:14:59,829 --> 00:14:53,920
approach

216
00:15:03,110 --> 00:14:59,839
station it is very important to have

217
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:03,120
burns on time

218
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:06,560
so we started with one day approach and

219
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:08,320
it was very complicated for the ground

220
00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:11,120
systems on the one hand and on the other

221
00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:13,920
hand uh the backup also was in the way

222
00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:16,240
so 20 years ago the decision was taken

223
00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:19,839
that two-day uh approach actually is

224
00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:22,639
more effective uh it is more a

225
00:15:29,990 --> 00:15:25,920
propellant effective and efficient and

226
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:30,000
so when i flew uh i took this approach

227
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:32,320
uh in seiu's vehicle

228
00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:36,079
and of course we had some backup uh

229
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:38,639
versions as well what has changed now

230
00:15:45,910 --> 00:15:42,880
now we have on board a new um

231
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:45,920
machinery and new software so the

232
00:15:51,990 --> 00:15:49,040
vehicle is more autonomous right now

233
00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:52,000
so it is a possibility um

234
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:54,000
you know to do a lot on board the

235
00:15:57,670 --> 00:15:56,480
vehicle and to calculate the burns so

236
00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:57,680
that uh

237
00:16:01,269 --> 00:15:58,560
not

238
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:01,279
consuming a lot of fuel to be able to

239
00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:03,920
approach the vehicle in efficient way so

240
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:06,639
we tried uh this approach on the cargo
