fill out an application form go through 88 00:06:55,270 --> 00:06:52,639 the 89 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:55,280 medical exams 90 00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,950 oh i have been thinking about that 91 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:02,880 particular question for a while because 92 00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,759 we needed to show that one 93 00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:07,039 kilogram 94 00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:11,120 and i'm going to aubrey leopard 95 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:30,629 language is very poor 96 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:44,950 but alexander speaks very good english 97 00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:46,390 question two 98 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:48,400 alexander alexander issue uh your point 99 00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:51,840 in two evas what are the plans 100 00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:58,790 scenario so far only one ava has been 101 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:01,360 officially approved 102 00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:04,319 this second dba is still being 103 00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:12,790 to start thinking about eva's right 104 00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:14,879 prior to my exams uh 105 00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:16,560 hard for me 106 00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:18,560 well what were we 107 00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:20,960 mostly science 108 00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:23,840 so far we have 109 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:27,360 exposed equipment for eva 110 00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:31,440 then some antenna activities 111 00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:34,159 by a risk the science experiment of 112 00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:36,159 course 113 00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:37,200 and then 114 00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:39,519 test experiment has not yet been 115 00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:41,440 approved but most likely we're going to 116 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,480 have experiment tests 117 00:08:49,590 --> 00:08:46,959 possibly if we have enough time we will 118 00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:49,600 perform the external 119 00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:52,480 inspection of the station 120 00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:55,360 and the second question about the 121 00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:57,760 abnormal situations of 122 00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:01,040 which are the most complex 123 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:02,800 examiner criminals i'm talking about the 124 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:06,080 tests you're our examinations 125 00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:07,200 well 126 00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:08,399 the most 127 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:11,680 complicated always is to be ready for 128 00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:14,000 unexpected things but during our 129 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:15,200 training 130 00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,279 for all the phenomenal situations but 131 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,600 how that's going to work out in the 132 00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:23,760 examination card 133 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:26,240 we pulled we don't know but we're ready 134 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:28,000 for all of nominal situations and i 135 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:28,800 think 136 00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:30,880 it's not just the crew of work that is 137 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,040 being evaluated but also the ability of 138 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:34,800 the crew to work with the ground control 139 00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:37,279 center and the ground is going to help 140 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,279 us during our flight 141 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:41,600 the well-balanced work 142 00:10:01,350 --> 00:09:43,760 of the crew with the mission control and 143 00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:04,870 no we're not talking about the mentors 144 00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:08,079 the level of knowledge 145 00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:10,480 of the crew members is so high you can 146 00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:12,720 just 147 00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:15,440 help them understand how things work out 148 00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:18,320 in zero gravity and we can help them 149 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,320 figure it out 150 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:21,920 i think that is an experience they will 151 00:10:26,389 --> 00:10:24,720 gain but as far as training is concerned 152 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:26,399 i'm not concerned about the outcome of 153 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,870 good luck and thank you 154 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:54,710 are you pointing any musical experiments 155 00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:56,949 i'm not sure about our 156 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,120 crew members but now 157 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:01,200 maybe we'll sing something maybe some 158 00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:04,000 songs for our own purposes but otherwise 159 00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:05,600 no 160 00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:06,800 that's it 161 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:17,190 well this way this way please 162 00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:18,389 over there 163 00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,750 waving to the mission control center 164 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:25,279 thank you 165 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:48,150 um 166 00:11:52,710 --> 00:11:50,069 what is the probability of the abnormal 167 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:52,720 situations well the probability of these 168 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:56,240 specific abdominal situations is um 169 00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:58,480 rather low but there can be different of 170 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:00,480 nominal situations starting with the 171 00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:04,800 necessity of some small medical 172 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,360 issues something got intake remember his 173 00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:09,440 eye and they need to talk to the ground 174 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:11,760 and take some steps and the probability 175 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:15,040 of such situations is rather high 176 00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:17,440 but as a rule we 177 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:18,399 play 178 00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:20,720 very complicated abnormal situations 179 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:22,839 depress or fire 180 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:26,480 but we had one abnormal situation on the 181 00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:29,839 mirror station once over the 15 years 182 00:12:34,350 --> 00:12:32,560 and one with once we had 183 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:34,360 or one and a half 184 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:37,600 depressurization events one was a small 185 00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:40,720 leak and one was a major leak the 186 00:12:45,430 --> 00:12:43,120 probability is very low but the price of 187 00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:45,440 such of nominal situations is rather 188 00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:47,600 high that's why all the crew members 189 00:12:59,269 --> 00:12:50,000 have to go through training and undergo 190 00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:01,350 chairman of the examination commission 191 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,480 the backup crew of 192 00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:06,800 increment 39 40 is 193 00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:09,519 ready for the examination training 194 00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:10,959 commander of the cruise alexander 195 00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:35,670 the specifications thank you that is for 196 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:37,360 us 197 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:51,040 nominal situation report as you go 198 00:14:02,150 --> 00:13:59,670 can we ask 199 00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:02,160 could you could you walk here 200 00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:04,399 during the previous flight you were 201 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:06,560 preparing for in a different process 202 00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:08,399 what is the difference is it more 203 00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:10,480 complicated for it to train 204 00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:13,440 well the training system has been honed 205 00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:15,920 within the 40-year application so the 206 00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:17,920 difference in training is 207 00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:20,000 minuscule it's just the 208 00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:22,639 rendezvous it used to be two days and 209 00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:24,160 now it's shorter and the crew members 210 00:14:29,110 --> 00:14:26,240 are different 211 00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:29,120 how was your experience of training with 212 00:14:33,269 --> 00:14:31,120 elena that's her first experience flying 213 00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:33,279 to the station with the russian uh young 214 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,160 lady 215 00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:36,320 well she's just as good as special as i 216 00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:38,160 am and she's ready to take over anytime 217 00:14:42,310 --> 00:14:39,680 she needs to 218 00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:42,320 elena are you worried are you nervous no 219 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:53,350 any questions 220 00:14:56,790 -->
