217 00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:46,320 what comes next but that's a general 218 00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:49,680 rule i think it's a good rule to have 219 00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:54,629 good afternoon 220 00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:56,720 this is a question for the commanders of 221 00:12:03,110 --> 00:11:58,880 the prime minister of the backup crew to 222 00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:04,710 training is over 223 00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:07,920 could you say something about 224 00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:10,000 your impressions what you experienced 225 00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,550 as i have already said 226 00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:18,880 complex entrepreneur 227 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:32,389 every crew member beat the prime crew or 228 00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:34,560 the backup crew and i think sergey will 229 00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:36,160 say a few words later 230 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:39,760 are fully ready to fulfill the task set 231 00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:41,040 and to 232 00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:46,069 in a few days 233 00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:48,240 we're going to leave for the baikonur 234 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:50,720 cosmodrome where we're going to have a 235 00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,720 specific pre-launch training 236 00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:56,800 the crew is ready 237 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:58,240 for the pre-launch 238 00:13:18,150 --> 00:12:59,920 training and they're ready for the space 239 00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:21,269 and the exams that we took 240 00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:22,880 was the first one 241 00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:27,040 in my life my first experience like that 242 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,949 i was able to understand 243 00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:34,399 lots of things 244 00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:35,360 but 245 00:13:38,949 --> 00:13:37,200 before that 246 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,959 i could not grasp because i didn't have 247 00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:40,800 that experience 248 00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:43,040 and of course i had 249 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:46,079 experience both positive and 250 00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:48,720 all the mistakes that uh i've made i'll 251 00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:51,760 take them into account and uh they will 252 00:14:00,829 --> 00:14:00,069 as for the main task the backup crew 253 00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:00,839 is 254 00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:04,000 here they fulfilled it they executed it 255 00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:06,240 and the backup were not supposed to pass 256 00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:07,920 their exams with better results than the 257 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:10,880 prime crew which we did so we're ready 258 00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:15,670 this is a question from the ortho 259 00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:18,079 channel is a question for the 260 00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:19,760 crew members that have already been in 261 00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:20,720 space 262 00:14:26,629 --> 00:14:22,560 there have been some 263 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:26,639 information in the media that during 264 00:14:31,269 --> 00:14:28,320 apollo 10 265 00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:31,279 the astronauts heard some strange sounds 266 00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:33,519 similar to music when they flew around 267 00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:36,160 the moon but they were hesitant about 268 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:38,800 letting mcc know 269 00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:41,920 so my question is as follows 270 00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:44,959 during a space flight 271 00:14:49,509 --> 00:14:47,519 have you encountered any experiences 272 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:49,519 that you could not explain and that you 273 00:14:57,030 --> 00:14:51,440 were hesitant to talk about at first 274 00:15:00,069 --> 00:14:59,110 interesting question we hear all the 275 00:15:01,750 --> 00:15:00,079 time 276 00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:01,760 the conspiracy theories that are out 277 00:15:04,949 --> 00:15:03,279 there on some of the websites and some 278 00:15:07,030 --> 00:15:04,959 of the tv channels 279 00:15:09,030 --> 00:15:07,040 uh of course i think we we all in this 280 00:15:11,189 --> 00:15:09,040 room know the truth about the 281 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:11,199 the communication behind the moon it was 282 00:15:15,509 --> 00:15:12,800 just interference with 283 00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:15,519 the apollo communication system itself 284 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:17,600 and that's been clarified 285 00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:20,160 uh i'll give you another example though 286 00:15:41,749 --> 00:15:38,310 there was one time several years ago 287 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,759 somebody sent me a link to uh to a 288 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:43,600 documentary 289 00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:45,360 that was on tv television american 290 00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:48,320 television and it had a scene of me in 291 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,399 the window on station 292 00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:52,639 watching a ufo 293 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:54,959 i don't remember doing it so the the 294 00:16:04,069 --> 00:15:56,720 story was all made up 295 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:05,189 uh 296 00:16:29,350 --> 00:16:27,430 of course i've had many interesting 297 00:16:30,230 --> 00:16:29,360 experiences on board but they've all 298 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:30,240 been 299 00:16:43,030 --> 00:16:37,430 i'd yes happy to share my impressions 300 00:16:49,269 --> 00:16:46,949 one excellent moon lit night 301 00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:49,279 on earth 302 00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:53,360 i saw a bright spot on the surface of 303 00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:54,800 the planet 304 00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:55,680 and my 305 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:56,959 first uh 306 00:17:02,949 --> 00:16:59,759 thought was here it is this historic 307 00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:02,959 moment when i can see alien 308 00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:06,160 alien creatures uh over there and with 309 00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:08,640 them visiting earth it was 310 00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,439 quite large the diameter several 311 00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:13,520 hundreds kilometers 312 00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:16,000 but our crew 313 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:18,720 started uh thinking about it it was a 314 00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:21,039 brainstorm and we figured out that it 315 00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:22,640 was uh 316 00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:25,679 an interesting reflection on the surface 317 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:28,880 of the earth just a regular physics 318 00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:38,390 to the prime crew members 319 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:40,400 what are you going to take with you i'm 320 00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:52,070 my personal items i took a couple of 321 00:17:56,390 --> 00:17:54,720 toys during my previous flight and 322 00:17:58,230 --> 00:17:56,400 family pictures 323 00:17:59,990 --> 00:17:58,240 so i think i'm going to take photos as 324 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:00,000 well they're going to remind me of my 325 00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:02,640 family of my home 326 00:18:08,549 --> 00:18:06,080 where we had gone what we did done 327 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:08,559 of course one starts missing family and 328 00:18:17,909 --> 00:18:15,350 i'm also going to take pictures of my 329 00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:17,919 family members and friends and also ask 330 00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:19,440 them to 331 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:21,919 write letters to me 332 00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:24,480 they wrote letters and i'm going to open 333 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:27,039 them when i'm on the iss that is right 334 00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:28,480 now i don't know what's written in those 335 00:18:32,230 --> 00:18:30,160 ledges and that's going to be a surprise 336 00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:32,240 once i get on board 337 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:35,039 hopefully this will uh 338 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:36,240 this is going to provide some 339 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:40,160 psychological support when i'm in space 340 00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:43,120 what about later probably 341 00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:45,440 i'm taking a few small items for uh for 342 00:18:47,510 --> 00:18:46,480 family 343 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:47,520 um 344 00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:50,320 i am going to take some photographs 345 00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:52,400 i have three grandchildren now with a 346 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:54,960 fourth uh expected at the end of march 347 00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,120 so i'm going to bring some small items 348 00:19:01,830 -->

351 00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:14,240 everybody on having successfully 352 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:16,799 finished your training you're about to 353 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:20,080 start your pre-launch uh preparation so 354 00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:22,720 congratulations on the results 355 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,549 you were the first one 356 00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:32,799 to fly on 357 00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:36,789 and 358 00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:39,280 this time you're going to fly on the 359 00:19:45,669 --> 00:19:42,080 last vehicle of this series did you have 360 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:45,679 a training on the new series ms soyuz 361 00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:46,960 vehicles 362 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,520 no not really the original plan was yes 363 00:19:54,789 --> 00:19:51,600 they were supposed to launch on the 364 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,799 first vehicle belonging to the ms series 365 00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:56,400 but uh 366 00:20:01,270 --> 00:19:58,720 independent of us the launch of this 367 00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:01,280 vehicle will move to the right in the 368 00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:02,880 future 369 00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:04,880 so yes indeed the first vehicle of the 370 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:07,039 new series uh was 371 00:20:13,029 --> 00:20:09,600 the flight that i participated in and i 372 00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,039 flew with alexander kaleri and this time 373 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:15,360 i'm going to finish the 374 00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:17,679 flight path of this vehicle of this 375 00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:19,440 series 376 00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:22,080 do you feel that you're responsible 377 00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:23,840 what can you say about this vehicle it's 378 00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:26,960 a very good vehicle but i hope uh 379 00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:28,320 these subsequent ones are going to be 380 00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:30,000 even better 381 00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:32,240 so a question what's the difference 382 00:20:39,350 --> 00:20:34,640 between the new ms series 383 00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:42,310 i think you need to ask the crew who are 384 00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:44,559 going to launch on the ms because they 385 00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:45,679 also 386 00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:48,000 being prepared on the soyuz tm and 387 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:55,430 sputnik 388 00:21:02,789 --> 00:20:59,760 the corolla 389 00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:02,799 city and i have a question to andre 390 00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:06,000 borisenko you announced a competition 391 00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:09,120 for the school children 392 00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:10,960 as far as an experiment the most 393 00:21:15,830 --> 00:21:14,080 interesting experiment that could be set 394 00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:15,840 up on board the national space station 395 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:17,840 what are the results of this uh 396 00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:19,120 competition 397 00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:20,720 are you going to 398 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:23,200 ask your colleagues to set up this 399 00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:24,960 experiment they're going to 400 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,640 set it up yourself 401 00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:29,200 when this competition was uh when they 402 00:21:32,789 --> 00:21:31,200 came up with this competition we thought 403 00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:32,799 that 404 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:35,919 this would be a competition and an 405 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:37,440 experiment that will be carried out 406 00:21:41,669 --> 00:21:39,840 during my flight so i'll be happy to 407 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:41,679 answer your question during my press 408 00:21:54,789 --> 00:21:52,710 question for the russian crew members 409 00:22:00,070 --> 00:21:54,799 a couple of weeks ago 410 00:22:06,549 --> 00:22:03,830 this is uh for spacewalks and a new 411 00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:06,559 stance on spacesuits that 412 00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:08,240 haven't yet been delivered to the space 413 00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:10,000 station could you say a few words about 414 00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:10,960 uh 415 00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:22,950 unfortunately there is no spacewalk 416 00:22:27,909 --> 00:22:24,880 planned for our 417 00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:27,919 increment so but everything changes so 418 00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:29,760 you never know maybe we will have to 419 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:31,280 participate 420 00:22:37,430 --> 00:22:34,480 in a spacewalk 421 00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:37,440 but i need to say that a spacewalk is a 422 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:38,400 still 423 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:40,720 an experiment it's not something regular 424 00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:42,480 and commonplace 425 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:45,440 the spacesuit is very convenient 426 00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:46,400 and it's 427 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:49,679 very nice it's very comfortable to work 428 00:22:59,029 --> 00:22:52,159 on it it's uh has been very well thought 429 00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:01,909 you can compare a spacesuit to a small 430 00:23:10,149 --> 00:23:03,919 space vehicle that would allow one to 431 00:23:13,909 --> 00:23:12,549 the finalizing two questions please to 432 00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:13,919 wrap it up 433 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,559 a question not related to 434 00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:18,720 your upcoming flight uh it's a question 435 00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:20,720 for both crews so 436 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:22,400 there's been an announcement 437 00:23:28,549 --> 00:23:25,600 lately that uh gtc is going to see 438 00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:28,559 military positions introduced again what 439 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:30,880 do you think about it and what is your 440 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,710 do you have any more questions 441 00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:42,559 this is not a question addressed to the 442 00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:54,630 so i'm going to ask those who've flown 443 00:23:59,430 --> 00:23:56,880 before what they expect to see 444 00:24:00,710 --> 00:23:59,440 in space this time and for those who are 445 00:24:04,789 --> 00:24:00,720 going to 446 00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:04,799 make their first space flights in space 447 00:24:08,549 --> 00:24:06,480 but i think 448 00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:08,559 in terms of categories the most 449 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:11,600 remarkable is is viewing the earth 450 00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:13,520 looking back at home obviously we're 451 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,000 connected with it we live here we have 452 00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:18,480 family here friends here we're not too 453 00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:21,679 far away from it and the earth is an 454 00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:24,960 endless variety of wonders in its view 455 00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:44,230 what am 456 00:24:50,070 --> 00:24:46,630 this dream i've had it since uh when i 457 00:24:54,789 --> 00:24:53,350 and what i'm going to experience to feel 458 00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:54,799 is that 459 00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:56,080 my dream 460 00:25:00,870 --> 00:24:58,720 that i have been looking forward to is 461 00:25:03,510 --> 00:25:00,880 finally coming through 462 00:25:06,549 --> 00:25:03,520 and coming true 463 00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:06,559 and as jeff has said i do want to see 464 00:25:27,350 --> 00:25:12,630 everyone has seen the earth 465 00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:29,430 not going to 466 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:35,029 make a final impression similar to one 467 00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:37,360 that one experiences when seeing it with 468 00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:40,240 one's own eyes from space and of course 469 00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:41,440 i want to 470 00:25:45,830 --> 00:25:44,240 fully execute all the tasks so all the 471 00:25:48,230 --> 00:25:45,840 lists that we have 472 00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:48,240 for this expedition i want to do them 473 00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:55,510 my most vivid impressions 474 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:58,159 i think the first one will be related to 475 00:26:02,549 --> 00:26:01,200 the launch when we were just inserted 476 00:26:05,029 --> 00:26:02,559 into orbit 477 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:05,039 i looked out of the window and i saw 478 00:26:09,830 --> 00:26:07,600 the black line of the horizon that earth 479 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:09,840 indeed was round at the same time we're 480 00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:12,960 experiencing weightlessness 481 00:26:17,510 --> 00:26:14,480 new feeling 482 00:26:19,430 --> 00:26:17,520 we do have zero g trainings uh on the 483 00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:19,440 ground but 484 00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:22,240 this is a short term whereas in space 485 00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:24,480 it's something that lasts for a long 486 00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:26,480 long time several months 487 00:26:34,230 --> 00:26:31,269 my second impression 488 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:34,240 is the docking to the station 489 00:26:37,990 --> 00:26:37,039 first of all through the window one 490 00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:38,000 sees 491 00:26:44,149 --> 00:26:39,840 the solar arrays 492 00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:47,590 if we talk about the size it's huge 493 00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:48,960 and that's something that we're 494 00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:50,559 approaching and we're going to live 495 00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:53,600 right there and of course my third right 496 00:26:59,830 --> 00:26:57,039 expression is my spacewalk 497 00:27:02,710 --> 00:26:59,840 opening the hedge going out and it's all 498 00:27:03,909 --> 00:27:02,720 out there in front of me they do have to 499 00:27:07,110 --> 00:27:03,919 go out 500 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:07,120 take a deep breath and walk out and 501 00:27:11,909 --> 00:27:10,240 after that it was just a regular 502 00:27:13,669 --> 00:27:11,919 eva 503 00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:13,679 and of course the earth is very 504 00:27:20,230 --> 00:27:16,720 beautiful glaciers uh thunderstorms 505 00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:23,110 one more question this is a 360 channel 506 00:27:31,269 --> 00:27:26,159 for the prime crew 507 00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,149 um i had several spectacular things um 508 00:27:38,710 --> 00:27:36,640 from launching on the space shuttle um 509 00:27:39,669 --> 00:27:38,720 to experiencing weightlessness like olex 510 00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:39,679 said 511 00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:42,080 um to going outside to do some space 512 00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:43,760 walks um 513 00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:46,320 but really the most remarkable thing was 514 00:27:49,990 --> 00:27:48,399 really what jeff was talking about is 515 00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:50,000 just viewing our planet from that 516 00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:51,760 perspective and and knowing all the 517 00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:53,279 people that are on the planet that we 518 00:28:03,029 --> 00:27:54,480 love 519 00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:05,510 i'd like to say that the entire space 520 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:08,399 flight is one single long duration 521 00:28:11,909 --> 00:28:10,640 impression that's never to be forgotten 522 00:28:13,510 --> 00:28:11,919 in life 523 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:13,520 but the first thing 524 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:16,320 what i was surprised by was 525 00:28:23,190 --> 00:28:19,440 the launch moment when the rocket 526 00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:23,200 tore away from earth because my mind was 527 00:28:27,430 --> 00:28:25,360 saying that everything was going 528 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:27,440 normally but emotionally on the 529 00:28:31,430 --> 00:28:29,760 emotional level my body was not fully 530 00:28:33,750 --> 00:28:31,440 confident 531 00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:33,760 and i did have some doubts 532 00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:36,880 whether everything was indeed nominal or 533 00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:39,840 whether we're going to fall down and the 534 00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:43,360 emergency escape system was going to 535 00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:44,559 function 536 00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:45,360 and 537 00:28:49,029 --> 00:28:47,279 the second thing i'd like to talk about 538 00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:49,039 the emotional 539 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:51,039 thing that i experienced was the 540 00:28:55,990 --> 00:28:53,520 separation moment 541 00:28:57,990 --> 00:28:56,000 when the space vehicle separated from 542 00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:58,000 the booster and that yes indeed we are 543 00:29:01,669 --> 00:29:00,080 in weightlessness and these are the 544 00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:01,679 menace these are the moments that we've 545 00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:02,480 been 546 00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:05,520 preparing for for all the time so no 547 00:29:09,430 --> 00:29:08,320 matter what would have what would going 548 00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:09,440 to happen 549 00:29:27,830 --> 00:29:25,350 well talking about space flight this is 550 00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:27,840 something that is being formed in my 551 00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:29,279 mind i'm 552 00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:31,440 listening to my crew members to my 553 00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:33,120 colleagues and this is something that's 554 00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:36,080 still being formed 555 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:38,960 and i listen to different stories and 556 00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:41,840 my colleagues confirmed my uh 557 00:29:45,750 --> 00:29:43,520 impressions 558 00:29:48,549 --> 00:29:45,760 just as in aviation the very first 559 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:48,559 launch the very first time you go into 560 00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:50,720 the air is 561 00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:52,799 something number one 562 00:29:57,269 --> 00:29:54,880 something that cannot be related or 563 00:30:00,389 --> 00:29:57,279 passed on and i expect something similar 564 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:00,399 here from the launch 565 00:30:05,669 --> 00:30:02,960 the final coming through 566 00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:05,679 of uh my dreams and this is like a road 567 00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:09,120 leading from one to two 568 00:30:16,789 --> 00:30:14,630 question for the prime crew 569 00:30:19,669 --> 00:30:16,799 can you say words about the experiments 570 00:30:21,669 --> 00:30:19,679 that you are planning to execute to 571 00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:21,679 carry out during the expedition maybe 572 00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:23,600 there's something unusual that we 573 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:28,630 new year 574 00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:29,760 let me start 575 00:30:40,710 --> 00:30:32,559 then probably my colleagues will 576 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:42,389 is going to see a large number of 577 00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:44,080 experiments 578 00:30:48,630 --> 00:30:46,880 around 50 of them experiment 50 579 00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:48,640 experiments 580 00:31:01,669 --> 00:30:59,430 shooting of life on the iss 581 00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:01,679 shooting of experiments for educational 582 00:31:07,269 --> 00:31:05,039 purposes and whatnot these experiments 583 00:31:09,269 --> 00:31:07,279 can be divided 584 00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:09,279 into experiments 585 00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:12,320 that are purely russian experiments 586 00:31:15,669 --> 00:31:14,000 and besides we are going to have some 587 00:31:30,549 --> 00:31:15,679 joint experiments 588 00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:41,430 during this 589 00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:42,950 we're going to 590 00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:46,080 perform the ultrasound imagery of the 591 00:31:51,830 --> 00:31:49,200 eye and not only the ultrasound 592 00:31:54,310 --> 00:31:51,840 we're going to have 593 00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:54,320 a full evaluation of 594 00:31:59,909 --> 00:31:56,240 eyes 595 00:32:03,190 --> 00:31:59,919 ultrasound of internal organs of vessels 596 00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:04,870 and these sessions are going to take 597 00:32:08,950 --> 00:32:07,600 place at different stages the first one 598 00:32:16,149 --> 00:32:08,960 after 599 00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:16,159 final session will occur 40 days prior 600 00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:18,880 to landing 601 00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:22,320 this will allow for our doctors and for 602 00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:25,120 our scientists to compare 603 00:32:29,269 --> 00:32:27,360 the data that we have 604 00:32:30,789 --> 00:32:29,279 at the beginning of the increment at the 605 00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:30,799 end of the increment 606 00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:33,600 and hopefully conclusions will 607 00:32:37,750 --> 00:32:36,480 help astronauts and cosmonauts 608 00:32:40,710 --> 00:32:37,760 of the future 609 00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:42,789 comply with the 610 00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:45,120 flight specifics and hopefully this will 611 00:32:48,789 --> 00:32:47,360 help during long duration flights in the 612 00:32:51,350 --> 00:32:48,799 future and to 613 00:32:54,549 --> 00:32:51,360 understand they're going to help them to 614 00:32:56,630 --> 00:32:54,559 survive on space missions 615 00:32:59,430 --> 00:32:56,640 i'd like to add that the fluid shifts 616 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:59,440 means fluid shifts inside the body in 617 00:33:03,430 --> 00:33:00,960 the body 618 00:33:06,630 --> 00:33:03,440 so we are studying the human body in 619 00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:09,190 but say compared to the first flight 620 00:33:15,110 --> 00:33:12,159 experiment we have a large volume of 621 00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:15,120 medical experiments it's difficult to 622 00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:21,509 we're going to have lots of exams 623 00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:32,549 medical assistants and doctors and 624 00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:34,000 nurses 625 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:36,240 and we're also going to 626 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:38,399 examine how the station behaves this 627 00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:40,240 will help us when we're going to build 628 00:33:44,549 --> 00:33:42,720 similar objects in the future 629 00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:44,559 i don't know if i can add much other 630 00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:46,640 than to put it in english that we've got 631
