jaxa astronaut

31
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:26,400
and i'd like to give the floor to the

32
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,429
i would like to give the floor to our

33
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:35,600
journalists who definitely have some

34
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,040
questions i just wanted to make some

35
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,520
clarification here

36
00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:41,360
the launch is scheduled for the night

37
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:45,119
time on the 29th

38
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:51,270
however it will be

39
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:52,960
may 28th

40
00:01:57,190 --> 00:01:54,560
gmt

41
00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:57,200
i just wanted to avoid any confusion

42
00:02:06,870 --> 00:01:59,040
here and wanted to make this

43
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:09,510
it's our nominal launch it's our nominal

44
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,680
operation

45
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:13,840
uh the only thing that is not nominal

46
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:14,959
here yet

47
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,360
is the fast rendezvous profile that we

48
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:20,080
are going to use one more time we have

49
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:27,110
in particular last time

50
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:28,000
when

51
00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:30,879
increment 35

52
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:32,800
with the commander pavel vinogradov were

53
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:34,160
launching

54
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,440
in late march this year

55
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:39,680
and they docked six hours after the

56
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:42,400
launch in kazakhstan

57
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:45,440
the crew of other chicken will also be

58
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:46,480
following

59
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,440
the fast rendezvous profile

60
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:51,040
so anticipating some of your questions

61
00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:52,800
so i can say that

62
00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,239
we have some positive statistics here

63
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:58,239
with regard to

64
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:00,080
the fast rendezvous profile all the

65
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:02,560
systems work nominal usually

66
00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,480
and we

67
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:06,959
also have an additional capability of

68
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:09,840
performing some orbits and coordinates

69
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:17,270
in short periods of time

70
00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:20,560
which allows the vehicle to approach the

71
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:24,959
station more carefully so to say

72
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,599
so right now we're very confident in

73
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:29,760
this profile and let's hear some

74
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,630
journal

75
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:38,159
i have a question for the federal eu

76
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:45,030
we heard some information that you're

77
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:46,720
going to participate in the olympic

78
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:50,319
torch relay onboard the station

79
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:55,990
and i know that

80
00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:58,480
the flight program was changed because

81
00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:01,519
of this major event

82
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:03,439
and did you talk to the olympic

83
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,799
committee

84
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:06,400
do they know about it what do they think

85
00:04:14,070 --> 00:04:08,319
about it

86
00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:16,229
and i think it's a great

87
00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:18,479
uh opportunity and great honor for the

88
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:21,199
crew to be able to participate in this

89
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:23,120
relay well i want to answer this

90
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:29,110
you

91
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:31,440
are saying it as if it's

92
00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:34,479
already been confirmed however

93
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:37,040
it's not really so we are considering

94
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:38,560
this possibility

95
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:39,919
to

96
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:44,880
practice in the space industry

97
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:47,520
complicated events like this need to be

98
00:04:51,830 --> 00:04:48,800
assessed first

99
00:04:53,189 --> 00:04:51,840
and we haven't uh confirmed and haven't

100
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:53,199
approved

101
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:54,320
this event

102
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:56,320
yet but we're assessing the

103
00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:59,120
possibilities yes we were talking about

104
00:05:02,950 --> 00:05:00,240
possible

105
00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:02,960
participation in the olympic torch

106
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:05,280
really but we understand all the risks

107
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:07,039
and all the complications

108
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:13,110
and

109
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:14,400
actually it's not the first time when

110
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:16,320
the olympic tours goes to space the

111
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:17,520
first time

112
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:19,840
was some years ago

113
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:22,240
well actually a couple of decades ago

114
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:23,680
when the shuttle

115
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:25,120
delivered

116
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:27,440
the olympic torch for los angeles

117
00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:36,550
we are very happy

118
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,720
possibly possible i just want to make

119
00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,560
this reservation possibly everything is

120
00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:42,800
possible you know

121
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:45,840
possibly we will see our backup crew on

122
00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:55,029
yes our traditional program is that

123
00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,479
we will have indirect handover

124
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:00,560
usually only three crew members stay

125
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:03,120
onboard the station after the previous

126
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:04,160
uh

127
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:07,280
soyuz crew leaves the station and they

128
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:09,600
welcome the next crew but they need to

129
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:10,880
spend some time

130
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:11,680
uh

131
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:17,350
maybe it will be interesting for you to

132
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:24,790
so your screw

133
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:27,120
is going to land

134
00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:29,280
on may 13th

135
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:31,759
at night may 14th

136
00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:35,280
and maybe in two weeks

137
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:37,199
and in two weeks a new serious vehicle

138
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:39,440
will launch however it is possible that

139
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:41,440
in the fall this year we're going to

140
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,510
next question please

141
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,070
first congratulations on the completion

142
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:54,800
of the most difficult part examination

143
00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:58,560
part of your training flow

144
00:07:03,189 --> 00:06:59,520
and

145
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,199
the spring is really wonderful here

146
00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:05,840
very warm

147
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:07,919
i would like to ask you about the task

148
00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:09,280
you're going to perform onboard the

149
00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:10,720
station what do you expect from this

150
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:26,390
what

151
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:28,629
as regards the

152
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:34,629
of course the core here

153
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,280
uh the experiments long-term experience

154
00:07:41,029 --> 00:07:39,440
that have been performed for a long time

155
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:41,039
so we're going to continue performing

156
00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:42,720
them

157
00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:48,710
the schedule of our increment is going

158
00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:51,199
to be busy as well luca is going to have

159
00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:52,639
two evas

160
00:08:01,110 --> 00:07:56,240
maybe we're going to have eva 36 closer

161
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:04,390
maybe i will be able to see the atv

162
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,000
vehicle because

163
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:08,240
two times twice

164
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:09,360
before

165
00:08:15,990 --> 00:08:12,400
i missed that opportunity

166
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:16,000
so maybe this time finally is i will be

167
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:17,199
able to see

168
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:18,960
this vehicle

169
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:19,919
so

170
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,790
it's really difficult

171
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:28,960
to explain everything luca could you

172
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:30,960
please speak english

173
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:33,440
no i would prefer to speak russian if

174
00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:35,200
you don't like my russian i can switch

175
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:37,519
to english up to you

176
00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:41,120
no we like you russian very much

177
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:44,000
it's really difficult to

178
00:08:48,509 --> 00:08:46,720
anticipate something right now

179
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:48,519
i know that there are

180
00:09:02,070 --> 00:08:51,680
150 experiments going on onboard the

181
00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:03,990
i want to single out some specific

182
00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:15,269
but i can

183
00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:16,800
say that

184
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:18,880
green air experiment is an

185
00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:22,240
european experiment it's ln experiment

186
00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:24,399
that is why i like it

187
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:30,150
when we use biofuel and the purpose

188
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:33,360
of the experiment

189
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:42,470
we can use and which processes we can

190
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:44,560
use in order not to contaminate our

191
00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:45,920
atmosphere

192
00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:48,000
what kind of

193
00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:51,519
fuels we can use in our

194
00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:56,550
and it's very useful experiment because

195
00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:58,160
the results can be

196
00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:01,279
applied immediately on earth

197
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,389
are related to

198
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:14,399
human research

199
00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:16,480
in which we're not only participating

200
00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:18,640
but we're also subject of these

201
00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:23,590
it's

202
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:26,480
i'm talking about the experiments

203
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:29,839
that we are studying

204
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:33,360
how to determine

205
00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:39,190
what proportion exists

206
00:10:55,509 --> 00:10:53,110
well we can actually

207
00:10:58,829 --> 00:10:55,519
use the results of these experiments

208
00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:01,509
away and i really hope that he will get

209
00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:08,230
it will be useful for the people on

210
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:09,839
board the station however besides these

211
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,200
two experiments there are many other

212
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:12,959
experiments that are important for the

213
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:15,680
program and for the earth

214
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,760
i'll speak english

215
00:11:21,269 --> 00:11:19,120
the great thing about space station

216
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:21,279
right now is that we have a very very

217
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:23,440
wide breadth of experiments taking place

218
00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:24,560
all the time

219
00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:26,720
from things that are external to the

220
00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:30,079
space station to experiments that

221
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:32,320
we install and then don't touch again to

222
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,360
experiments on our own body

223
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,279
the experiments we have probably about

224
00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:39,839
150 going at one time

225
00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:41,519
with hundreds of investigators around

226
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:42,720
the world

227
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:43,839
which makes

228
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:45,279
the space station

229
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,590
i have a question for the commander

230
00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:00,069
it's the iterative news agency

231
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:02,389
do you have any mascot well i have the

232
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:03,680
same mask

233
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:05,519
as last time we are very conservative

234
00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:07,360
here

235
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:08,880
but we're very conservative in

236
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:11,600
everything that is related to our space

237
00:12:18,150 --> 00:12:15,990
so i will take the mask that i had

238
00:12:19,269 --> 00:12:18,160
during my first flight second flight and

239
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,279
third flight

240
00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:21,680
i'm preparing for my first flight and

241
00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:25,279
third flight onboard the station

242
00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:26,959
same dimensions

243
00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:32,629
yeah maybe i gained some weight but my

244
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:33,839
mask didn't

245
00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:38,550
be

246
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:42,000
in good shape just like my musket

247
00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:47,910
um

248
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:50,639
you have an international crew truly

249
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:53,760
international crew italian american crew

250
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,269
is it difficult to have such a crew

251
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:03,750
no actually

252
00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:04,560
we

253
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:05,360
feel

254
00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:08,560
very good within our crew

255
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:10,720
luca for example is very

256
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:13,600
easy going very friendly

257
00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:15,839
he speaks russian very well he is going

258
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:26,069
learning not only the russian language

259
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:28,000
but the greek language as well you know

260
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:31,360
i'm of a greek origin

261
00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:32,720
and we

262
00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:35,040
have no problems communicating within

263
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:40,470
today at the inter-ministerial

264
00:13:45,189 --> 00:13:42,320
commission

265
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:47,430
spoke russian

266
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:48,959
there and

267
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:51,120
i was really really impressed by her

268
00:13:55,509 --> 00:13:52,160
knowledge

269
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:55,519
so we're conservative here but maybe

270
00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:57,040
not in everything

271
00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:59,360
you and your crew are scheduled to

272
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,279
be on board during the visit of quite a

273
00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:03,120
number of different vehicles can you

274
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:04,399
talk about the vehicles that are going

275
00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:06,000
to be visiting the space station during

276
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:08,240
your time on board and how you're all

277
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:10,160
prepared to handle that very complex

278
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:12,800
traffic pattern

279
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:14,880
yes we do have a lot of traffic during

280
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:16,639
the period of time we're there

281
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:18,160
the first visiting vehicle we can expect

282
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:19,760
is the atv

283
00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:21,279
in june i believe

284
00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:23,120
and uh that of course stops to the

285
00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,440
russian segment

286
00:14:29,990 --> 00:14:27,279
then uh the progress vehicles that

287
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:30,000
regularly travel to and from station

288
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:31,440
will also be coming and going through

289
00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:32,720
the summer

290
00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,880
for the on the american segment the u.s

291
00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:36,560
segment

292
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,720
we have the htv

293
00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:40,639
which we're expecting in august

294
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:42,480
and hopefully then at the end of our

295
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,720
tour on space station we'll get the uh

296
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:46,880
the orbital science corporation demo

297
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:47,760
mission

298
00:14:52,389 --> 00:14:50,320
uh kind of hoping for that and the folks

299
00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:52,399
on the ground do all the work in getting

300
00:14:54,389 --> 00:14:53,279
it all

301
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:54,399
coordinated

302
00:14:57,350 --> 00:14:55,920
for us we just execute the plan that

303
00:14:58,629 --> 00:14:57,360
they give us so

304
00:15:00,629 --> 00:14:58,639
for us it

305
00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:00,639
the only challenge is is just doing the

306
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:01,920
work

307
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:04,720
that they've planned but the

308
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:06,639
meat of the

309
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,590
i know that you'll be performing a very

310
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:21,120
busy russian

311
00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:33,670
i know that currently there are some

312
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,160
discussions whether or not it's feasible

313
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:38,079
to perform an additional eva just to

314
00:15:41,430 --> 00:15:40,320
inspect

315
00:15:59,430 --> 00:15:41,440
the

316
00:16:01,670 --> 00:15:59,440
program

317
00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:01,680
and it says here that

318
00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:03,839
the

319
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:06,800
wording here goes that our flight

320
00:16:09,829 --> 00:16:08,800
program can be adjusted

321
00:16:11,749 --> 00:16:09,839
uh

322
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:11,759
depending on the evas that are going to

323
00:16:14,389 --> 00:16:12,720
happen

324
00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:14,399
onboard the station

325
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:18,240
we have nominal evas already planned

326
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:20,240
that we are going to perform and the

327
00:16:24,949 --> 00:16:21,600
tasks

328
00:16:27,189 --> 00:16:24,959
of these evas are both scientific and

329
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:27,199
are in our

330
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:28,959
base tasks

331
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:34,389
to replace cables we're going to perform

332
00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:37,680
cable routing for the future mlm module

333
00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:40,160
and i'm aware of the fact that the

334
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:41,839
russian program can be adjusted

335
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:44,399
depending on the

336
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:46,480
tasks that haven't been performed by

337
00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:49,600
previous crews or the tasks that

338
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:52,880
occurred or became urgent at some point

339
00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:56,639
of time but we are all crew members and

340
00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:58,880
we are serving one goal

341
00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:00,959
so we will be acting depending on the

342
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:02,240
situation

343
00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:05,600
yes we have an approved eva

344
00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:06,720
program

345
00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:08,799
and i know that the dates haven't

346
00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:10,880
changed yet if there are some changes

347
00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:13,199
then we will act accordingly

348
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:15,839
right now we haven't been preparing for

349
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:18,720
any adjustments because we don't know

350
00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:23,909
i want to add a couple of words

351
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:26,559
i think you have

352
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:29,840
participated in the

353
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:32,549
at the press conference after the

354
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:35,600
docking i saw you at the mcc actually

355
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:37,679
and you know that the docking was

356
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:38,960
nominal

357
00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:40,240
everything went

358
00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,799
very well and

359
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:45,039
i think you heard how the heads of

360
00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:48,880
nergie and roscosmos were saying that

361
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:53,830
there are two reasons that prevent us

362
00:17:58,830 --> 00:17:55,520
from performing that eva first there is

363
00:18:00,789 --> 00:17:58,840
no workstation set up there

364
00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:00,799
and

365
00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:12,960
reasons of this eva

366
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:15,679
all of these impede

367
00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:18,640
this decision so maybe it won't be safe

368
00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:21,600
for the crew to perform this extra eva

369
00:18:26,830 --> 00:18:23,919
so i hope that we're going to have some

370
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:26,840
more detailed information

371
00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:29,919
later but as of today

372
00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:31,840
our specialists are assessing a

373
00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:35,760
possibility to perform this eva

374
00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:37,919
and our specialists are assessing the

375
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:40,160
condition of the

376
00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:42,799
reflector and they were modeling the

377
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:44,640
docking

378
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:46,160
and the

379
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:48,960
uh mating of two vehicles

380
00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:49,840
and

381
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:50,880
our specialists were assessing a

382
00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:52,880
possibility of any damage that could

383
00:18:58,710 --> 00:18:56,720
have happened between the station

384
00:19:00,549 --> 00:18:58,720
and the curse antenna

385
00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:00,559
and they have been assessing all the

386
00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:02,720
scenarios possible scenarios that could

387
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:04,960
have happened at that time

388
00:19:08,710 --> 00:19:06,960
especially with regard to the antenna

389
00:19:10,710 --> 00:19:08,720
that was not deployed

390
00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:10,720
and how it could have

391
00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:13,679
impacted the reflectors installed on the

392
00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:16,160
station and that are really critical for

393
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:18,480
atv missions

394
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:21,440
i can tell you that

395
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:25,520
the analysis was so thorough and

396
00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:26,720
we made

397
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:30,080
so many efforts to assess

398
00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:31,280
and

399
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:39,590
we can say that

400
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:42,480
the impact the contact would have

401
00:19:48,710 --> 00:19:45,520
been possible but we do not

402
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:48,720
see any problems with the reflector and

403
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,440
our estimations and calculations show

404
00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:53,840
that

405
00:20:00,070 --> 00:19:59,360
was not even touched by the antenna

406
00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:00,080
so

407
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:02,000
as

408
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:04,320
fodder just said the flight program can

409
00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:07,520
be adjusted then

410
00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:10,400
we will act accordingly however we don't

411
00:20:14,230 --> 00:20:11,919
know about any

412
00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:14,240
decisions of that

413
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:16,159
kind

414
00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:18,880
and maybe their crew will be dealing

415
00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:27,990
so if we have to do it

416
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:29,039
um

417
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:31,520
the crew that is currently on board or

418
00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:34,400
this crew who will be on board very soon

419
00:20:39,430 --> 00:20:35,919
will be

420
00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:39,440
acting according to the news situation

421
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:42,000
so i have some

422
00:20:45,590 --> 00:20:43,919
questions relating

423
00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:45,600
to

424
00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:52,320
the station

425
00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:53,360
so

426
00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:55,200
you have already mentioned a couple of

427
00:21:00,390 --> 00:20:58,799
words about your crewmates

428
00:21:02,149 --> 00:21:00,400
could you please say something about

429
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:02,159
each other what can you say about each

430
00:21:07,190 --> 00:21:03,280
other

431
00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:09,909
you always have women in your crew it's

432
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:11,840
your preference or it's just a mirror

433
00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:20,789
yes

434
00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:21,840
actually

435
00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:24,080
this question is a big concern for my

436
00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:29,110
moreover

437
00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:35,430
i was initially assigned to a different

438
00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:45,990
i think

439
00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:50,880
2011 when i heard that

440
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:53,200
i will be uh the commander of this crew

441
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:55,360
so i heard two names luca parmitano and

442
00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:57,120
karen nyberg

443
00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:00,640
um the name karen is the first name of

444
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:03,520
of a famous russian movie director karen

445
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:05,760
chuck nazarev so i was thinking

446
00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:09,120
that we will have all men in our crew so

447
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:10,799
my wife decided to

448
00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:12,960
look her up

449
00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:15,520
on the computer and called me to the

450
00:22:20,470 --> 00:22:17,919
computer and asked me

451
00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:20,480
so do you see this man so and what did i

452
00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:22,080
see i saw

453
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:24,559
a beautiful a wonderful woman

454
00:22:37,270 --> 00:22:34,710
i don't know why there are some

455
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:37,280
untrue legends in russia or

456
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,600
superstitions and rush about american

457
00:22:48,149 --> 00:22:41,360
women

458
00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:48,159
however you need to see her family you

459
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:50,240
need to see her little son and how he

460
00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:51,760
loves his mommy

461
00:22:59,029 --> 00:22:56,000
because karen is a mother first of all

462
00:23:01,430 --> 00:22:59,039
and everything else is secondary

463
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:01,440
and being an astronaut is not that

464
00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:04,080
important as being a great mother so

465
00:23:08,149 --> 00:23:05,520
she's a real

466
00:23:09,990 --> 00:23:08,159
woman a real american woman a real

467
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:10,000
mother

468
00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:12,400
talking about luca no no please don't

469
00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:14,640
talk about me i'm not a woman

470
00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:17,919
yes absolutely true you're not a woman

471
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:20,240
but the

472
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:23,760
best quality that i appreciate in him

473
00:23:28,390 --> 00:23:26,080
i already told you that he is an easy

474
00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:28,400
going a very good person

475
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:29,280
but

476
00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:31,120
the most important quality in him that i

477
00:23:35,669 --> 00:23:32,960
appreciate is

478
00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:35,679
that he is very goal oriented

479
00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:38,640
he has a goal at the same time he is a

480
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:41,760
very good family man you really need

481
00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:45,039
and you really need to meet his family

482
00:23:47,830 --> 00:23:45,760
and

483
00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:47,840
what i want to say about all of us is

484
00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:48,960
that

485
00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:51,120
the most important thing for all of us

486
00:23:53,669 --> 00:23:52,240
is our

487
00:23:55,590 --> 00:23:53,679
families

488
00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:55,600
and everything else is secondary karen

489
00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:58,080
is also supported by her husband

490
00:24:01,909 --> 00:23:59,760
and as an astronaut

491
00:24:04,549 --> 00:24:01,919
who is also here

492
00:24:07,029 --> 00:24:04,559
and her son whom i call mr no because

493
00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:07,039
knows his favorite word are absolutely

494
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:08,960
wonderful but the most important thing

495
00:24:14,230 --> 00:24:10,480
about my crew

496
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:21,830
yes father is a very good man

497
00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:24,149
yes i would like to hear the opinion of

498
00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:26,640
other crew members as well

499
00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:27,840
luka what can you say about the

500
00:24:36,549 --> 00:24:34,230
i think i already said a couple of words

501
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:36,559
about footer

502
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,470
it will be my first time in space

503
00:24:47,669 --> 00:24:45,350
and

504
00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:47,679
i still don't know

505
00:24:50,950 --> 00:24:49,679
what is going to happen how it's going

506
00:24:53,669 --> 00:24:50,960
to look like

507
00:24:58,870 --> 00:24:53,679
but i'm a very lucky person because i

508
00:25:02,549 --> 00:25:01,350
so we started working together and

509
00:25:04,549 --> 00:25:02,559
almost

510
00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:04,559
immediately after that

511
00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:07,200
i learned that footer is not only a

512
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:08,960
great commander but he is a great

513
00:25:15,269 --> 00:25:11,520
instructor a great teacher

514
00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,279
he's so patient he explains everything

515
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:17,919
with such patients and it's a very

516
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:19,200
good

517
00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:22,480
and valuable quality for the commander

518
00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:26,000
but above all other things he's a great

519
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:27,200
friend

520
00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:28,880
he can listen

521
00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:35,360
so

522
00:25:38,630 --> 00:25:36,240
he

523
00:25:41,669 --> 00:25:38,640
wants to know what i think and after

524
00:25:43,669 --> 00:25:41,679
that he makes a decision

525
00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:43,679
he's the commander so he's responsible

526
00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:47,600
for decision making but his

527
00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:50,080
ability to listen to other opinions and

528
00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:52,320
his desire to listen to other opinions

529
00:25:56,870 --> 00:25:54,400
is absolutely invaluable

530
00:25:59,510 --> 00:25:56,880
it's wonderful

531
00:26:01,430 --> 00:25:59,520
i'm honored to

532
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:01,440
be able to fly with such an experienced

533
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:12,710
and he knows a lot and i've heard

534
00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:15,029
that he is a very very experienced

535
00:26:19,029 --> 00:26:16,640
cosmonaut

536
00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:19,039
i was also asked a question is federer a

537
00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:21,279
tough commander yes i can say his tough

538
00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:24,480
but a commander should be tough talking

539
00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:25,679
about karen

540
00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:28,240
i can say that we have been working

541
00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:30,960
together for three years she's like my

542
00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:33,600
sister right now

543
00:26:39,190 --> 00:26:36,240
she has been in space

544
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:39,200
some years ago

545
00:26:42,870 --> 00:26:40,000
and

546
00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:42,880
she of course knows a little bit more

547
00:26:51,430 --> 00:26:45,440
than i do about the space

548
00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:53,830
but at the same time she told me that

549
00:26:58,630 --> 00:26:56,159
she had a feeling that everything will

550
00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:58,640
be new onboard the station

551
00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:00,799
so she's my elder sister

552
00:27:06,470 --> 00:27:03,840
and i'm a younger brother for her

553
00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:06,480
and as an elder sister she will always

554
00:27:10,149 --> 00:27:08,080
explain

555
00:27:12,549 --> 00:27:10,159
new things to me and will always say

556
00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:12,559
everything is going to be okay

557
00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:18,549
so for me it's

558
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:20,960
a great thing

559
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:21,760
it's

560
00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:24,960
like being in your one big family i

561
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:28,159
would like to greet my family over there

562
00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:30,240
my father and my wife are sitting over

563
00:27:33,430 --> 00:27:32,240
there they don't understand russian and

564
00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:33,440
they don't understand what i'm saying

565
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:34,640
right now but

566
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:36,480
i will tell them later

567
00:27:40,470 --> 00:27:38,320
for me one of the most important things

568
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:40,480
when a group gets together to to work

569
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:42,320
and get the job done is maintaining a

570
00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:43,760
sense of humor

571
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:45,679
and being able to tease each other and

572
00:27:51,269 --> 00:27:48,640
joke with each other and i think we are

573
00:27:52,950 --> 00:27:51,279
able to do that well and

574
00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:52,960
like luca said in that way we become

575
00:28:11,190 --> 00:27:56,080
family and it just it makes it easier to

576
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:13,029
did you already talk to pavel

577
00:28:16,870 --> 00:28:14,640
vinogradov's crew

578
00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:16,880
no i would like to say a couple of words

579
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:20,870
initially we were

580
00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:23,120
planning to do the following thing first

581
00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:25,360
we wanted to perform the first test

582
00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:26,559
then

583
00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:29,600
we need some time for analysis and if

584
00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:32,480
the analysis results are good and

585
00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:34,480
positive

586
00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:37,669
it

587
00:28:46,789 --> 00:28:45,190
so

588
00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:46,799
initially it was planned that pavel

589
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:48,320
vinogradovs will be the first crew

590
00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:49,840
flying uh according to the first

591
00:28:55,269 --> 00:28:52,159
rendezvous profile then we will have two

592
00:28:56,789 --> 00:28:55,279
regular uh profiles and after that we

593
00:29:01,269 --> 00:28:56,799
might go back to the fast rendezvous

594
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:02,870
talking about the fast rendezvous

595
00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:05,120
profile it's

596
00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:07,919
a complicated thing but actually we have

597
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:11,679
known about that profile long ago

598
00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:15,840
and we could have done that even earlier

599
00:29:18,710 --> 00:29:17,840
however

600
00:29:20,310 --> 00:29:18,720
all

601
00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:20,320
new

602
00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:23,520
additions or innovations especially in

603
00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:26,480
terms of space facilities space

604
00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:29,279
equipment hardware everybody is very

605
00:29:36,549 --> 00:29:31,600
concerned about

606
00:29:40,950 --> 00:29:39,190
so maybe sometime in summer that

607
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:40,960
probably

608
00:29:45,269 --> 00:29:42,320
we might fly

609
00:29:47,909 --> 00:29:45,279
according to the fast rendezvous profile

610
00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:47,919
and i asked my crew to learn their

611
00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:50,720
opinion i wanted my crew to support me

612
00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:54,000
because i was um

613
00:30:00,950 --> 00:29:56,080
going to fly the fast rendezvous profile

614
00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:03,830
my flight engineers could have told me

615
00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:06,640
that the old

616
00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:09,679
regular profile was okay for them

617
00:30:17,590 --> 00:30:12,640
however they supported me

618
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:17,600
and the fast rendezvous profile implies

619
00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:19,360
more tasks for

620
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:21,840
flight engineers but they agreed to do

621
00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:23,440
them

622
00:30:28,789 --> 00:30:25,279
and we would also like to thank all our

623
00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:28,799
instructors and gctc

624
00:30:32,149 --> 00:30:30,880
specialists who supported us who trained

625
00:30:34,549 --> 00:30:32,159
us

626
00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:36,710
want to say that

627
00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:39,120
there are some people who took all the

628
00:30:41,909 --> 00:30:40,559
responsibility

629
00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:41,919
on themselves

630
00:30:48,230 --> 00:30:45,840
and we as a crew are going to perform

631
00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:48,240
this profile it's our desire to fly

632
00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:49,760
according to this fast rendezvous

633
00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:50,799
profile

634
00:31:01,990 --> 00:30:57,430
so

635
00:31:05,909 --> 00:31:02,000
not remember that

636
00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:05,919
soyuz vehicles to the salute uh orbital

637
00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:07,360
station we're flying according to

638
00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:09,600
fostering the profile so it took them

639
00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:11,519
only one day

640
00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:14,080
to dock after the launch

641
00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:16,720
after that we decided to have more

642
00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:18,960
redundancy in our systems

643
00:31:26,230 --> 00:31:23,509
we

644
00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:26,240
at that time temporarily switch to the

645
00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:28,399
two-day

646
00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:30,799
rendezvous profile

647
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,549
it's

648
00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:40,630
an old scheme well

649
00:31:47,350 --> 00:31:43,919
it depends what you mean by old and new

650
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:47,360
so right now using all the

651
00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:50,960
modern hardware and technologies

652
00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:53,600
we can reduce the

653
00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:56,720
flight of the vehicle

654
00:32:01,110 --> 00:31:59,760
and several times right now the new calm

655
00:32:03,269 --> 00:32:01,120
facilities

656
00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:03,279
allow us to

657
00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:04,720
perform

658
00:32:13,990 --> 00:32:12,149
i remember that many years ago

659
00:32:15,430 --> 00:32:14,000
i was participating in some discussions

660
00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:15,440
regarding

661
00:32:19,430 --> 00:32:17,519
the fast rendezvous

662
00:32:21,269 --> 00:32:19,440
and there were some suggestions that

663
00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:21,279
maybe we should have

664
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:23,840
two or three orbit

665
00:32:27,269 --> 00:32:26,320
rendezvous as well so we were assessing

666
00:32:39,909 --> 00:32:27,279
that

667
00:32:54,870 --> 00:32:39,919
docking right now is 40 plus minutes

668
00:32:58,789 --> 00:32:56,630
we are using the scheme that was

669
00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:58,799
developed some time ago so we're just

670
00:33:02,789 --> 00:33:00,960
using something that was invented some

671
00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:02,799
time ago

672
00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,720
the only thing here is that we should be

673
00:33:08,149 --> 00:33:06,960
more sensitive to the exact time of the

674
00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:08,159
launch

675
00:33:14,789 --> 00:33:11,440
and uh the timing itself

676
00:33:16,950 --> 00:33:14,799
so we also have redundancy during this

677
00:33:22,389 --> 00:33:16,960
fast rendezvous profile

678
00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:24,549
yes i wanted to ask this question first

679
00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:29,590
how will you celebrate the victory day

680
00:33:34,070 --> 00:33:33,200
may 9th tomorrow what will you do

681
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:34,080
um

682
00:33:38,230 --> 00:33:36,720
what luca and karen will do at baikonur

683
00:33:41,669 --> 00:33:38,240
you haven't been there yet no we have

684
00:33:46,870 --> 00:33:44,870
so will your families be with you there

685
00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:46,880
of course definitely

686
00:33:52,549 --> 00:33:49,919
first i wanted to thank our american

687
00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:52,559
counterparts

688
00:33:55,830 --> 00:33:53,840
because

689
00:33:58,470 --> 00:33:55,840
earlier we

690
00:34:00,789 --> 00:33:58,480
did not have that at all it's a new

691
00:34:04,149 --> 00:34:00,799
tradition for us so if you're talking

692
00:34:07,269 --> 00:34:04,159
about some soviet traditions families

693
00:34:09,829 --> 00:34:07,279
were not allowed to go to biokenor

694
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:09,839
so the first time i experienced that in

695
00:34:17,109 --> 00:34:13,520
2001 when i started my training

696
00:34:18,470 --> 00:34:17,119
in houston and i saw how

697
00:34:20,470 --> 00:34:18,480
nasa

698
00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:20,480
management treated the families of

699
00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:24,639
astronauts and how sensitive they were

700
00:34:27,990 --> 00:34:26,399
to their needs

701
00:34:30,310 --> 00:34:28,000
so i

702
00:34:34,069 --> 00:34:30,320
raised the question

703
00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:34,079
uh here in russia and in the year 2002

704
00:34:40,389 --> 00:34:37,440
my family was able to go to baikonur so

705
00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:40,399
slowly but surely our families uh

706
00:34:43,909 --> 00:34:42,399
started going to baikonur it's a great

707
00:34:46,149 --> 00:34:43,919
tradition actually because they are able

708
00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:46,159
to support us there at such an important

709
00:34:50,950 --> 00:34:48,399
moment so our families are here

710
00:34:53,349 --> 00:34:50,960
mr savin is also here

711
00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:53,359
he knows all the rules and regulations

712
00:34:58,790 --> 00:34:54,960
and he follows their

713
00:35:02,870 --> 00:34:58,800
performance as well implementation

714
00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:02,880
and he is responsible for our families

715
00:35:07,589 --> 00:35:05,440
trips to baikonur

716
00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:07,599
so this is

717
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:08,800
the holiday

718
00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:10,960
of

719
00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:15,520
european families

720
00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:16,480
i mean

721
00:35:26,870 --> 00:35:24,870
we are

722
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:26,880
very happy

723
00:35:30,069 --> 00:35:27,760
that

724
00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:30,079
we can

725
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:36,150
we know that they're

726
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:38,480
very close to us and they can see our

727
00:35:40,710 --> 00:35:39,680
lunch

728
00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:40,720
it's

729
00:35:47,510 --> 00:35:44,880
a fantastic psychological support

730
00:35:49,910 --> 00:35:47,520
i'm very happy that

731
00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:49,920
they can go to baikonur and i absolutely

732
00:36:00,950 --> 00:35:58,230
so who uh

733
00:36:02,790 --> 00:36:00,960

i

740
00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:18,640
wanted to add that

741
00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:21,119
according to

742
00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:22,560
our tradition

743
00:36:26,630 --> 00:36:24,880
the prime and backup crew will go to the

744
00:36:28,550 --> 00:36:26,640
cosmological museum

745
00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:28,560
and after that they will go to the red

746
00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:29,680
square

747
00:36:33,670 --> 00:36:31,440
yes you can take

748
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:33,680
the seats here the backup crew

749
00:36:47,910 --> 00:36:46,230
this is our previous flight please say

750
00:36:49,510 --> 00:36:47,920
hello to them

751
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:49,520
when he sees them on board the station

752
00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:51,280
here is the pen

753
00:36:58,390 --> 00:36:52,640
yes could you please write something on

754
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,790
please read what they're writing

755
00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:03,589
so

756
00:37:17,510 --> 00:37:06,160
don't write the same thing

757
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:33,109
you know already

758
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:36,870
thank you

759
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:50,150
good memory

760
00:37:50,160 --> 00:38:04,630
it's good

761
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:40,310
hmm

762
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:53,829
yes

please stand like this

765
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:20,630
there's no doubt

766
00:40:20,630 --> 00:39:22,390
i'm not sure we're going into a building

767
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:28,390
they kept fighting

768
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:29,990
yes all together

769
00:41:46,550 --> 00:40:53,030
so

770
00:41:46,560 --> 00:42:19,349
hmm

771
00:42:30,550 --> 00:42:21,910
what are you looking at

772
00:42:34,630 --> 00:42:32,790
karen nyberg we're here at red square

773
00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:34,640
and the kremlin today may 8th can you

774
00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:36,720

775
00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:38,960
coming here and you were here six months

776
00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:40,480
ago as a member of a backup crew and

777
00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:42,240
what's that like for you now as you're

778
00:42:46,309 --> 00:42:44,400
getting ready for your own space flight

779
00:42:49,990 --> 00:42:46,319
you're right this place is is rich with

780
00:42:52,150 --> 00:42:50,000
traditions before a soyuz flight and uh

781
00:42:53,589 --> 00:42:52,160
we're now here at red square

782
00:42:56,550 --> 00:42:53,599
the kremlin one of the main things we

783
00:42:57,589 --> 00:42:56,560
did was lay flowers at the tomb of some

784
00:42:59,430 --> 00:42:57,599
fallen

785
00:43:01,589 --> 00:42:59,440
space pioneers basically

786
00:43:03,589 --> 00:43:01,599
and uh it's a great tradition when i was

787
00:43:05,430 --> 00:43:03,599
here in december it was the first time

788
00:43:07,030 --> 00:43:05,440
that i'd been a part of it and it was it

789
00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:07,040
was pretty exciting of course it was

790
00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:08,880
snowing then and it was awfully cold

791
00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:10,160
it's a little different today of course

792
00:43:13,750 --> 00:43:11,440
today the beautiful the weather is

793
00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:13,760
beautiful but being a part of these uh

794
00:43:16,390 --> 00:43:15,359
traditions that the that the russians

795
00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:16,400
have been doing for so many years is

796
00:43:19,589 --> 00:43:17,680
really an honor

797
00:43:21,510 --> 00:43:19,599
and we saw actually outside you were

798
00:43:23,349 --> 00:43:21,520
laying uh some flowers at what looked

799
00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:23,359
like a tomb of the unknown soldier and

800
00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:25,200
there was a parade celebration going on

801
00:43:28,950 --> 00:43:27,200

802
00:43:29,910 --> 00:43:28,960
tomorrow is victory day here in russia

00:43:47,349 --> 00:43:45,910
karen you're here with your son

811
00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:47,359
and this is a real

812
00:43:50,550 --> 00:43:48,960
additional challenge and all of the

813
00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:50,560
training you've gone through for space

814
00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:51,920
flight to bring

815
00:43:55,349 --> 00:43:53,599
bring this little guy out here and can

816
00:43:58,230 --> 00:43:55,359
you talk about what it's like to be a

817
00:43:59,829 --> 00:43:58,240
mom in training for space flight and in

818
00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:59,839
preparation for your mission and how are

819
00:44:02,870 --> 00:44:01,440
you going to be able to work with uh

820
00:44:04,630 --> 00:44:02,880
with this little guy once you're on

821
00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:04,640
board well it's definitely a different

822
00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:06,480
challenge than what i had

823
00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:08,400
for my shuttle flight having having the

824
00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:09,359
family

825
00:44:13,030 --> 00:44:11,520
and

826
00:44:15,349 --> 00:44:13,040
i've tried to bring him with me to

827
00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:15,359
russia as much as i can because just so

828
00:44:19,270 --> 00:44:17,760
i can spend as much time with him and

829
00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:19,280
we try to talk to him about where i'm

830
00:44:22,150 --> 00:44:20,880
going and what i'm doing and you know

831
00:44:24,790 --> 00:44:22,160
you never know how much a three-year-old

832
00:44:26,069 --> 00:44:24,800
understands but he he just earlier today

833
00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:26,079
said he wants to be an astronaut when he

834
00:44:33,109 --> 00:44:30,710
i think we'll have good communication

835
00:44:35,190 --> 00:44:33,119
with him when i'm on orbit so and

836
00:44:46,470 --> 00:44:35,200
hopefully someday he can talk about how

837
00:44:49,510 --> 00:44:47,349
so

838
00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:49,520
before right after the commissioning

839
00:44:53,910 --> 00:44:51,440
which is when we are actually cleared

840
00:44:56,550 --> 00:44:53,920
for flight uh this is a traditional trip

841
00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:56,560
that we do here in uh at the red square

842
00:45:03,430 --> 00:44:58,000
to

843
00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:03,440
people for for a russian space flight

844
00:45:08,950 --> 00:45:06,560
so what we do is we carry uh we carried

845
00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:08,960
these flowers to the tomb of caroliov

846
00:45:13,430 --> 00:45:10,960
which is that was the chief desi

847
00:45:14,790 --> 00:45:13,440
designer at the time of gagan's first

848
00:45:16,710 --> 00:45:14,800
flight

849
00:45:19,030 --> 00:45:16,720
so that's the first time that we visit

850
00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:19,040
we we let the flowers

851
00:45:24,150 --> 00:45:21,040
we salute him we think about it and then

852
00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:24,160
we we move over to the guaran's tomb

853
00:45:28,870 --> 00:45:26,480
which of course is one of the greatest

854
00:45:31,270 --> 00:45:28,880
hero in russian history is the first man

855
00:45:34,390 --> 00:45:31,280
who ever flew around around the earth

856
00:45:35,990 --> 00:45:34,400
after that we pay homage to uh five more

857
00:45:37,910 --> 00:45:36,000
cosmonauts who

858
00:45:40,950 --> 00:45:37,920
