1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:27,269
yes

2
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:34,549
sergey

3
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:50,229
mike

4
00:00:50,239 --> 00:01:01,510
oleg

5
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:03,270
mike you've just seen your spacecraft

6
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:06,000
ready to fly what's your feeling like oh

7
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,840
it's fantastic to see it at this point

8
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:09,600
uh it's all packed up ready to go it's

9
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:11,520
kind of like a pilot on his last walk

10
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:13,280
around the airplane before he takes off

11
00:01:16,310 --> 00:01:14,880
this is happening five days before the

12
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:16,320
launch but it's

13
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:17,840
still pretty neat to see it in its final

14
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,429
my first question is for you the person

15
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:34,000
who is flying into space for the third

16
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:35,680
time is there a difference between a

17
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:37,680
first flight and the second flight what

18
00:01:41,030 --> 00:01:39,680
is important for a

19
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:41,040
cosmonaut

20
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:44,000
to prepare to be healthy to have friends

21
00:01:50,149 --> 00:01:46,079
who are waiting for you to return to

22
00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:50,159
earth or what well it's a long question

23
00:01:54,550 --> 00:01:51,840
or

24
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:54,560
it has rather it has many components

25
00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:57,280
so i'll answer the first half of the

26
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,640
question

27
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,719
each flight is unique

28
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,880
it's a different vehicle

29
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:05,119
you would you may think that it all the

30
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:07,360
vehicles look the same but they're not

31
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:09,840
each crew is special

32
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:13,120
each mission is different

33
00:02:20,229 --> 00:02:15,200
including goals and objectives

34
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:20,239
now the sense of risk and fear i think

35
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:23,280
everybody is prone to fear

36
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,440
so what's important is for you to be

37
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:27,040
able to

38
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:30,480
overcome this tension this sense of

39
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,760
danger

40
00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:33,599
and

41
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,840
fulfill your

42
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:36,800
responsibilities i would say that our

43
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:40,000
crew is prepared both physically and

44
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:42,879
morally emotionally and we're prepared

45
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:45,599
to complete the objectives of our flight

46
00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:48,480
so but health and family are also

47
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:50,239
important right so which one is more

48
00:02:53,990 --> 00:02:51,280
important

49
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:54,000
you can't pick one over

50
00:02:57,509 --> 00:02:55,680
the other

51
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:57,519
you need to have reliable hardware you

52
00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:59,120
need to have

53
00:03:02,949 --> 00:03:00,560
good health

54
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,959
you can't say this is more important

55
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:04,959
this is less important

56
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:13,030
i have more experience that is true

57
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:16,400
and i understand what to expect during

58
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:19,840
lunch what to expect when we're on orbit

59
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,920
what to expect during the descent and

60
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:23,040
landing

61
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:27,440
and so that really is a good advantage

62
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:29,920
how many flights is the maximum number

63
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:33,840
of flights in space is it three or four

64
00:03:39,509 --> 00:03:36,239
well you know history that there have

65
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:39,519
been up to seven flights for

66
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:41,680
one person so i think you're only

67
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,280
limited by your desire and by your

68
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:45,360
health

69
00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:58,630
do you think that we have to fly in

70
00:04:04,789 --> 00:04:01,200
space overcome the

71
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,799
boundaries of humanity and try to fly

72
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:05,920
further

73
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:08,159
yes i think that

74
00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:11,360
in the future we will always fly

75
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:14,159
there will always be engineers who are

76
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:17,359
striving to create new spacecraft

77
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,710
if you think about it this way used to

78
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:26,800
be it used to take a long time to travel

79
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:28,800
even to a neighboring city and now it's

80
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:34,550
this is our goal for the future to

81
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,880
expand our space flight and the

82
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:38,400
boundaries

83
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:49,040
you achieve one objective you want to

84
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,790
so again

85
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:57,120
that's just part and parcel of who we

86
00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,919
are

87
00:05:01,990 --> 00:04:59,199
as humans

88
00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:02,000
the desire to make yet another step into

89
00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:03,440
the future

90
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:05,759
and push the boundaries and go the

91
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:11,990
what are the

92
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,720
things about your job

93
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:16,800
uh well they're on a plane right now

94
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,400
showing up in moscow getting ready to

95
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:20,400
come down here for for the launch so

96
00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:22,800
they're just very excited about it

97
00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,080
they know this is something that i've

98
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:26,160
been working for for a long time and so

99
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:28,000
they're just uh i'm very happy that

100
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:29,360
they're going to be able to be here and

101
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,310
i have to say that being prepared help

102
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,320
helps

103
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:44,160
it's great to be with a commander who is

104
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:46,880
so experienced

105
00:05:51,270 --> 00:05:49,360
just a general atmosphere within our

106
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,280
crew it's very important

107
00:05:57,110 --> 00:05:53,759
thank you very much are we done no one

108
00:06:02,790 --> 00:05:59,110
training

109
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:02,800
is in a way a psychological experiment

110
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,360
do you still have romantic notions of

111
00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:07,199
this profession that you started out

112
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:08,240
with

113
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:15,510
avoid being a romantic you have

114
00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:21,270
follow your dreams to fly in space

115
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,960
especially with the second flight and

116
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:24,800
the third flight you know exactly what

117
00:06:29,350 --> 00:06:26,960
to expect you know exactly what's going

118
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:29,360
to happen there will be nothing new that

119
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:32,560
you will experience but this romantic

120
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:33,600
feeling

121
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:37,680
this dream to see your planet from space

122
00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,639
your desire to do something useful and

123
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,560
do new work that is something that

124
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:43,840
drives you

125
00:06:48,720 --> 00:07:09,189
foreign

126
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:24,550
hey everyone

127
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:27,029
we are happy to greet you here

128
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:28,880
thank you so much and you're well and

129
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,270
this is a fragment of the spacecraft

130
00:07:58,710 --> 00:07:42,150
to celebrate the 50th

131
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:25,430
um

132
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:26,469
and maybe

133
00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:48,070
okay should we sign it here

134
00:09:06,230 --> 00:08:50,240
yes pick a spot

135
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:09,990
so here's the very first signature

136
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:12,320
of one brave individual

137
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:14,080
who signed it first

138
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:40,070
okay

139
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:51,990
and when you're done

140
00:10:39,509 --> 00:09:54,470
so we would like for you to sign this

141
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,110
when you have a reliable friend

142
00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:45,680
and backup crew member you always feel

143
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:46,959
secure

144
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:48,959
thank you very much

145
00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:52,000
let's uh do another group photo

146
00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:55,279
so does it differ in any way

147
00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:56,880
well of course it's different because

148
00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:58,720
you realize that in five days you're

149
00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:00,240
gonna be actually calling on the rocket

150
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,600
and getting ready to launch into space

151
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:03,440
so there's certainly a bit of a

152
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,440
different emotion here but it's

153
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:06,800
the same tradition in the sense that we

154
00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:08,480
got to after the second pick check come

155
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:10,800
back visit the museum here a lot of

156
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:13,600
history here a lot of great stories and

157
00:11:29,040 --> 00:12:18,629
come on

158
00:12:18,639 --> 00:13:32,150
yes

159
00:13:32,160 --> 00:14:18,870
uh

160
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:40,470
god

161
00:14:40,480 --> 00:15:59,110
fish

162
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:24,949
so

163
00:16:24,959 --> 00:16:40,389
i mean

164
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:50,389
okay

165
00:16:50,399 --> 00:17:40,070
oh

166
00:18:09,510 --> 00:17:51,990
so

167
00:18:09,520 --> 00:19:15,750
yes

168
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:19,029
joe montabano deputy iss program manager

169
00:19:22,190 --> 00:19:20,880
here in baikonur joel

170
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:22,200
soyuz

171
00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:24,720
tma-10m vehicle now vertical on the

172
00:19:29,830 --> 00:19:25,840
launch pad

173
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:29,840
set to go on wednesday afternoon us time

174
00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:31,360
can it get any busier at the

175
00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:33,360
international space station right now

176
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:35,120
you know rob it's a great day to be in

177
00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:37,520
baikonur you know standing in front of

178
00:19:41,669 --> 00:19:39,360
the launch pad that launched the first

179
00:19:43,669 --> 00:19:41,679
human in space there's just a magic here

180
00:19:45,350 --> 00:19:43,679
and you feel that magic could it get

181
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:45,360
busier yeah it's going to get a little

182
00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:46,880
busier for the rest of the year we got a

183
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:48,400
real busy schedule going but this is

184
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:50,720
what we do and this is what we do best

185
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:52,080
the three crew members you have two

186
00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:53,840
first-time flyers and mike hopkins and

187
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:55,520
sergey ryazanskiy but a wealth of

188
00:19:59,830 --> 00:19:57,280
experience in the soyuz commander alec

189
00:20:01,830 --> 00:19:59,840
kotov how will this crew blend on orbit

190
00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,840
for what promises to be a very busy five

191
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:03,600
and a half months this crew is going to

192
00:20:06,870 --> 00:20:05,280
do great oleg is an outstanding

193
00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:06,880
commander we have a lot of experience

194
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:09,039
with him on board the two rookies have

195
00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,640
trained together the whole crew has

196
00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:12,559
trained together they've trained across

197
00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:14,480
the globe at the different different

198
00:20:18,149 --> 00:20:16,480
partner centers we're looking forward to

199
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,159
them we expect these guys are just going

200
00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:20,480
to do a fantastic job on orbit

201
00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,159
you mentioned the busy time ahead for

202
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:24,240
the space station just six weeks from

203
00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:27,120
now yet another soyuz will be on the pad

204
00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:28,400
you're gonna have nine crew members on

205
00:20:32,149 --> 00:20:29,679
the station for about three and a half

206
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:32,159
days an olympic torch arriving on board

207
00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:34,880
symbolic for next year's winter olympics

208
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:36,559
talk a little bit about this air traffic

209
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:39,039
control pattern at the station well as

210
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,120
you said rob you know we have the soyuz

211
00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:43,520
in november we have an orbital mission

212
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:45,200
right now that's in free flight that

213
00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:46,720
will be birthing to the space station

214
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:48,320
this week we have another orbital

215
00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:51,200
mission scheduled in december spacex

216
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:52,960
early next year but this is what the

217
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:55,520
partnership does we work together we

218
00:20:59,430 --> 00:20:57,280
have a european vehicle up there right

219
00:21:02,070 --> 00:20:59,440
now we just deorbited the japanese

220
00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:02,080
transfer vehicle again we work together

221
00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:04,159
we get things done we use space station

222
00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:06,159
for what it's designed for and as you

223
00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:08,400
know space station is the largest

224
00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,120
project ever taken upon by human

225
00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:13,200
human mankind and we just do a great job

226
00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:15,280
and the partnership they pull together

227
00:21:19,270 --> 00:21:16,480
when you need them

228
00:21:21,669 --> 00:21:19,280
and in november 15th anniversary joel of

229
00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:21,679
the first element launch of the zarya

230
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:23,360
module the fgb

231
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:24,159
uh

232
00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:26,480
talk a little bit about how this complex

233
00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:28,720
has grown into this research city in the

234
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,919
sky from that single lone module

235
00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:34,080
you know when we started space station

236
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:36,159
we worked with the partnership we had

237
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,240
the first launch the fgb launch from

238
00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:40,720
baikonur and we've built upon it now

239
00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:42,480
that assembly is complete we use the

240
00:21:46,630 --> 00:21:44,320
space station for utilization that's

241
00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:46,640
what it was designed for we are doing

242
00:21:52,549 --> 00:21:49,200
we're scheduled to do up to 40 hours of

243
00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:52,559
crew utilization crew time per week on

244
00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:54,000
the average for this expedition that

245
00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:55,520
will be the largest amount of

246
00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:57,520
utilization we've done since we've been

247
00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:00,159
flying space station

248
00:22:03,270 --> 00:22:01,760
helen ochoa director of the johnson

249
00:22:04,870 --> 00:22:03,280
space center ellen welcome back to

250
00:22:07,549 --> 00:22:04,880
baikonur

251
00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:07,559
crystal clear day today for the soyuz

252
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:10,799
tma-10m spacecraft

253
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:12,240
it is a complex time at the

254
00:22:16,149 --> 00:22:13,760
international space station a very

255
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:16,159
intricate choreography about to unfold

256
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:18,320
talk a little bit about the preparedness

257
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:19,760
of our three crew members about to

258
00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:21,600
embark on this journey

259
00:22:25,270 --> 00:22:23,120
well the three crew of course have been

260
00:22:27,669 --> 00:22:25,280
trained all over the world including at

261
00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:27,679
johnson space center the well-prepared

262
00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:30,240
no concerns at all about that

263
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:31,840
it's a very interesting time at the

264
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:34,320
station i was lucky enough to be at

265
00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:36,240
wallops on the east coast of the united

266
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:38,720
states last week to see the launch of

267
00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:41,120
antares in cygnus and now i get to be

268
00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:43,039
here for this launch and so we're

269
00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:45,440
looking forward to two vehicles

270
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:47,679
coming toward this station this week

271
00:22:51,990 --> 00:22:49,679
air traffic control around the station a

272
00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:52,000
very very complex choreography about to

273
00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,520
unfold

274
00:22:57,430 --> 00:22:55,360
just six weeks from now yet another

275
00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:57,440
soyuz will be on the pad for the next

276
00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:59,679
trio to be launched

277
00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:00,960
the five and a half months that lie

278
00:23:04,470 --> 00:23:02,880
ahead from mike hopkins alec kotov and

279
00:23:06,549 --> 00:23:04,480
sergey ryazanskiy

280
00:23:09,029 --> 00:23:06,559
will be very challenging talk a little

281
00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:09,039
bit about that yeah so the the vehicle

282
00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:10,480
traffic is one of the things that

283
00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:13,280
they'll be having to deal with

284
00:23:18,149 --> 00:23:15,200
but as well it's a very busy time in

285
00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:18,159
terms of science on board the station

286
00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:20,400
so we do fundamental science up there we

287
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:22,400
do research and development that's more

288
00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:24,880
associated with direct benefits on earth

289
00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,559
including in human health as well as

290
00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:30,480
earth observing

291
00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:32,559
uh many other types of things and then

292
00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,640
of course we're using as as a test bed

293
00:23:38,789 --> 00:23:36,640
for exploration

294
00:23:41,590 --> 00:23:38,799
we've got an experiment on board or a

295
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:41,600
ming swing bed a test bed that's looking

296
00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:43,520
at a new way of scrubbing

297
00:23:47,909 --> 00:23:45,360
co2 out of the atmosphere that we hope

298
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:47,919
to use for the orion spacecraft

299
00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:50,400
which will take crew beyond low earth
