sean fuller nasa's director of human

15
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:07,120
space flight operations in russia sean

16
00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,800
soyuz vehicle

17
00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,560
may look the same from the outside here

18
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:13,039
in baikonur but fundamentally different

19
00:06:17,749 --> 00:06:15,280
talk a little bit about the upgrades the

20
00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:17,759
changes that for this modernized systems

21
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:19,039
vehicle that's about to make its first

22
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:20,880
flight yeah rob we've got a beautiful

23
00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:22,240
vehicle here behind us they've been

24
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:23,919
working and processing for the last

25
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,280
several weeks getting ready for the

26
00:06:29,029 --> 00:06:27,280
launch coming up in a few days it does

27
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:29,039
look similar on the outside there are

28
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:30,240
some incremental changes that have

29
00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:32,000
happened on the inside with regards to

30
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:34,639
the communication system the navigation

31
00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,240
system and the docking system all

32
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,000
upgrades that they take is a steady pace

33
00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:40,160
along the way along the progress vehicle

34
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:41,919
to make sure it's ready for uh the

35
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:44,000
implementation on the soyuz now we have

36
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:45,600
the soyuz rocket upgraded to what we

37
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,240
refer to the as the ms vehicle ready for

38
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:50,400
its maiden flight here in a few days

39
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,639
you know the program never affords a

40
00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,800
crew a dull moment and uh the next few

41
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:56,639
months for kate rubins and her crew will

42
00:07:01,430 --> 00:06:59,280
be no different talk a little bit about

43
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,440
what the next few months hold in terms

44
00:07:06,309 --> 00:07:03,919
of critical milestones for the program

45
00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:06,319
yeah that's right rob jeff alexey and

46
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:08,479
oleg are on orbit waiting uh the arrival

47
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,639
of anatoly kate and talk as they come up

48
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,560
they'll be getting right in the saddle

49
00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:14,400
jumping into it we've got a few vehicles

50
00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:16,560
coming right away with progress as well

51
00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:18,319
as a spacex that'll entail uh some

52
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:20,319
activities uh arrival of critical

53
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,240
science equipment they're always have a

54
00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:24,800
very busy schedule research coming up as

55
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:27,520
well as a docking adapter that'll enable

56
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:28,960
us to bring the commercial crew vehicles

57
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,800
up here in the next couple of years so

58
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,560
that'll be arriving on a spacex vehicle

59
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,960
entail an eva or two to get that

60
00:07:38,629 --> 00:07:36,560
installed on the space station a little

61
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:38,639
bit later we'll be in the htv cargo

62
00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:40,160
craft will come up with the new

63
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,160
batteries for our power system as we

64
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:44,400
upgrade that to enable us to go farther

65
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:51,589
expedition 4849 backup crew member peggy

66
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:53,120
whitson peggy

67
00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:55,039
it's like old times for you to be back

68
00:08:00,550 --> 00:07:57,440
in baikonur your thoughts

69
00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:00,560
about the upcoming launch a new upgraded

70
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,039
vehicle for soyuz and most importantly

71
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:05,360
kate rubin's level of preparedness well

72
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:07,520
we have a fantastic training program and

73
00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:09,599
kate's an exceptionally talented person

74
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:11,440
so i know she's ready to go she's

75
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:13,440
excited about it

76
00:08:18,070 --> 00:08:15,440
we've been in baikonur here for a couple

77
00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:18,080
of weeks getting ready uh on the final

78
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:21,280
stages and she's she's ready to go

79
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:23,919
being back here is very special you know

80
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:26,000
some things have changed but many of the

81
00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:27,680
traditions and

82
00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:29,440
are all the same and so it's always a

83
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:31,039
pleasure to be back here

84
00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,959
and go through the process again

85
00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,800
obviously because it means i'm one step

86
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,479
closer to being

87
00:08:39,829 --> 00:08:38,240
the next one around

88
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,839
research is the name of the game up on

89
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,919
the international space station you're a

90
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:43,599
researcher kate

91
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,160
molecular biologist she is going to be

92
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,320
knee deep in research up there

93
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:49,920
how what does she bring to the table up

94
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:51,360
there for the next several months on

95
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:53,920
orbit once she gets there well kate has

96
00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:56,640
a lot of hands-on research experience

97
00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:58,959
which is great when you're doing lots of

98
00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:00,720
different people's research it's good to

99
00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:02,959
have laboratory hands to be able to

100
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:04,959
handle different types of things
