--> 00:02:55,440 program 56 00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:58,239 you're planning to do for the kazakhstan 57 00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,560 space 58 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:02,480 program so okay you want me to start 59 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,309 as far as the zero g indicator children 60 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,560 have already prepared one 61 00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:12,879 as far as i know 62 00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:14,560 so there is a trend 63 00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:16,959 we can see it's going to be a small 64 00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:19,280 piglet 65 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,270 we're 66 00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,920 expecting 67 00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:29,440 three progress vehicles to arrive and 68 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:32,480 two of them are going to be 69 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,920 sm 70 00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:36,159 during the automatic rendezvous and 71 00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:39,680 docking to the station there will be the 72 00:03:44,830 --> 00:03:41,760 display screw 73 00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:44,840 displays will be a little bit 74 00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:48,080 different most of the career interfaces 75 00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,110 i have 76 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,760 undergone training here 77 00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:57,200 how to 78 00:04:02,630 --> 00:03:58,319 perform 79 00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:04,789 the signals from the control handles go 80 00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:09,040 through with a small delay 81 00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:11,120 we previously docked the cargo vehicles 82 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:12,840 in the orbital coordinate 83 00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:14,640 system for 84 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:17,199 docking particularly this 85 00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:19,040 cargo vehicle the 86 00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:20,720 station is going to be in a snap and 87 00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:23,120 hold attitude is going to maintain the 88 00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:26,720 steady attitude the entire time 89 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:29,120 so otherwise it would be difficult to uh 90 00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:31,440 perform talking 91 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:38,629 uh while we have undergone uh training 92 00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:40,400 with the

00:10:41,920 or iso will use this 217 00:10:45,509 --> 00:10:43,519 short mission to test a lot of new 218 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,519 technology that we hope to use 219 00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:47,120 not only in the future onboard the space 220 00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:49,839 station but also in the future on 221 00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:52,160 perhaps longer missions further out into 222 00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:53,040 space 223 00:10:57,269 --> 00:10:55,120 and so i'll be testing some real-time 224 00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:57,279 communication systems 225 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:59,920 mobile technology that will allow 226 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:01,600 researchers and the control center to 227 00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:02,880 follow along in real time what i'm 228 00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:04,560 moving on for the space station and 229 00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:06,240 hopefully in that way 230 00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,320 improve the efficiency of the work that 231 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:10,480 we do onboard the space station 232 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:12,880 i'll also be testing a 233 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,120 ski suits that i'll be wearing uh 234 00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:17,120 hopefully that'll counteract some of the 235 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:18,720 negative effects that we experience in 236 00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,079 weightlessness 237 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:23,750 so the game mentioned that we'll be 238 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,120 spending at least two and a half to 239 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:27,040 three days in columbus together working 240 00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:32,240 on a experiment called mars which is uh 241 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:34,320 aimed at understanding some of the 242 00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:37,600 effects that weakness has on our muscles 243 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:39,680 and this really is to help prepare for 244 00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:41,760 future long 245 00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:44,240 duration and missions on both the iss so 246 00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:46,480 we'll be doing the first set of 247 00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,560 measurements on my muscles 248 00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:50,320 i'll be sitting in a specially 249 00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:51,680 constructed chair 250 00:11:54,629 --> 00:11:53,760 where i'll be my muscle essentially will 251 00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:54,639 be 252 00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:55,600 studied 253 00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:57,200 and so hopefully we can use that 254 00:12:02,150 --> 00:11:59,680 information as well too to prepare for 255 00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:02,160 for more missions 256 00:12:06,949 --> 00:12:04,160 the political tensions between russia 257 00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:06,959 and the western nations any impedance in 258 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,030 no i think one of the 259 00:12:18,949 --> 00:12:17,030 one of the absolute most 260 00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:18,959 positive uh benefits of the 261 00:12:22,629 --> 00:12:20,560 international space station is the 262 00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:22,639 international partnership 263 00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:25,279 that's behind it and uh 264 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:26,320 i think 265 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:27,760 the international space station really 266 00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:29,839 demonstrates what we can achieve when we 267 00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:32,079 work together uh towards a common set of 268 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:33,040 goals 269 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:34,000 um 270 00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,680 you know the international space station 271 00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:37,440 today wouldn't exist if it wasn't for 272 00:12:41,990 --> 00:12:40,000 the cooperation among all the partners 273 00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,000 and so i think that's 274 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:44,320 you know we often talk about the 275 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,399 scientific research program which of 276 00:12:49,949 --> 00:12:48,160 course is incredibly important we also 277 00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:49,959 talk about the 278 00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:52,800 technological developments 279 00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,959 that we have achieved 280 00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:56,720 but we often forget to mention the 281 00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:57,839 international 282 00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:00,000 cooperation and i think it really is up 283 00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:02,000 there together with the scientific 284 00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:03,839 program that we do it's 285 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:05,839 it's a fantastic platform for 286 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:07,920 international cooperation so 287 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,240 you know the tensions that exist here on 288 00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:12,480 earth we leave that behind and onboard 289 00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:14,800 the international space station we are 290 00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:17,279 humans working together collectively to 291 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:32,790 i understand you were trained uh very 292 00:13:44,550 --> 00:13:39,910 do you feel 293 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,560 the effects and it is a very important 294 00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:46,480 historic event 295 00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:48,399 what would you like to say to the people 296 00:13:53,269 --> 00:13:50,480 of kazakhstan concerning the upcoming 297 00:13:57,790 --> 00:13:55,910 as far as training is concerned um 298 00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:57,800 from 2003 to 299 00:14:01,189

flown 335 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:12,560 uh as the commander of the soyuz then 336 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:15,120 you're resigned your own call sign for 337 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:22,710 um alex is correct that doesn't make any 338 00:16:35,509 --> 00:16:27,749 it's very difficult to select the right 339 00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:37,829 i yourself say that 340 00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:42,790 helped us 341 00:16:51,749 --> 00:16:50,150 has been useful for us to train together 342 00:16:54,870 --> 00:16:51,759 so 343 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:54,880 usually it's about a year's 344 00:16:58,550 --> 00:16:56,720 duration till 345 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:58,560 the next so we're currently preparing 346 00:17:04,150 --> 00:16:59,759 for the next 347 00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:05,669 a question 348

and answer the question in russian how 352 00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:16,079 difficult was it to learn russian 353 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:18,880 language and what is your experience 354 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:28,789 during my training 355 00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:30,390 it was the most difficult part of my 356 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:33,840 training to learn russian 357 00:17:38,630 --> 00:17:36,080 but it is an 358 00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,640 a very important 359 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:40,960 component 360 00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:43,360 important to be able to talk 361 00:17:51,039 --> 00:18:13,669 so that is one uh part of our training 362 00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:15,990 uh flight your assignment to the career 363 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:18,000 was rather 364 00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:21,280 fast and unexpected to the 365 00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:24,000 mass media the question about your 366 00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:30,230 second question 367 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:41,350 and 2003 you had a backup uh crew member 368 00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:43,029 uh currently 369 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:50,070 what would you wish 370 00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:52,799 uh to your 371 00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:54,799 former 372 00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:56,640 backup crew 373 00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:58,480 would you be gleeful that you're flying 374 00:19:02,870 --> 00:19:00,799 right now and he has not flown even 375

september time 378 00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:14,960 frame 379 00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:16,320 and we already 380 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:18,960 prepared a contract between roscosmos 381 00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:20,160 and kazakh 382 00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:22,160 space 383 00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:25,039 we didn't have backup crew there was 384 00:19:29,590 --> 00:19:26,880 supposed to be 385 00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:29,600 an intergovernmental commission session 386 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:31,520 i was supposed to take 387 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:34,000 place in kazakhstan to select the prime 388 00:19:39,669 --> 00:19:36,320 and the backup crew but we didn't get to 389 00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:39,679 that stage because of the 390 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:41,840 world financial crisis 391 00:19:45,270 --> 00:19:43,280 and the 392 00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:45,280 uh flight of the catholic san classified 393 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:50,320 was postponed since 2009 until now 394 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:58,150 um our 395 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:00,720 agencies there were ongoing discussions 396 00:20:04,630 --> 00:20:03,120 about a flight of the kazakhstan 397 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:04,640 cosmonaut 398 00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:07,280 and right now it is 399 00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:08,400 and 400 00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:09,440 um 401 00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:14,400 president 402 00:20:19,909
