1
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:08,470
hello

2
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:11,270
good morning dear members of the exam

3
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:12,480
board

4
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:17,199
crew members uh prime crew of soyuz msn3

5
00:00:23,429 --> 00:00:20,880
increments 5051 to the iss

6
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:23,439
are ready for the integrated russian

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:41,910
good job

8
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,069
did you put the date

9
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,310
yesterday you had the first day of your

10
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,480
qualification exams

11
00:01:03,349 --> 00:00:54,960
so uh what are the factors to a

12
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,469
of course success of any task depends on

13
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:08,960
a well coordinated work of the entire

14
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:11,040
crew which we've been able to do and

15
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:12,640
everything is going well

16
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:15,280
do cosmonauts or astronauts have a

17
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:17,920
superstitions or traditions prior to

18
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:20,080
taking exams

19
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:23,600
well uh the tradition is to take the

20
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:25,759
exam question which is located on the

21
00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:36,310
the first time

22
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:37,680
you flew

23
00:01:43,109 --> 00:01:42,000
on board the station it was soyuz tma

24
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,119
and

25
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:45,040
right now you're going to fly on a

26
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:47,040
different vehicle which vehicle do you

27
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:50,720
like more well all the vehicles are very

28
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:52,079
reliable

29
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:52,880
and

30
00:02:33,910 --> 00:01:56,000
we don't have any doubts in their

31
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:48,630
is

32
00:02:48,640 --> 00:03:17,030
um

33
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:18,470
how will you be foreign commander

34
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:20,959
olympia flight engineer thomas pisgah

35
00:03:23,910 --> 00:03:22,319
and what are you looking forward to the

36
00:03:25,990 --> 00:03:23,920
most about being in the soyuz after

37
00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:26,000
eight years since your last one

38
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,599
well i was hoping this soyuz would be

39
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:29,760
bigger but it seems to be about the same

40
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:32,720
size as the last time

41
00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:35,440
that i will do my best to

42
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:38,319
take notes for oleg and toma and

43
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:40,480
two timing events for them to keep track

44
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:55,350
well by uh judging by the outside looks

45
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:56,879
it doesn't really compare but actually

46
00:04:01,830 --> 00:03:58,799
the work is very similar it's very

47
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:01,840
procedure based uh some very intense

48
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,239
dynamic phases and then some more uh

49
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:05,920
long-term phases where you're monitoring

50
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:08,640
the systems like being on the

51
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:11,120
crew space with your pilot on lots of

52
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:13,599
interactions with the ground teamwork

53
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:15,360
and then again a very dynamic phase for

54
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,880
docking to the station which is very

55
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,959
similar to landing on the runway it has

56
00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:21,359
inertia the way you fly it is a little

57
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:22,960
bit like a vega appliance so if you're

58
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:24,639
asking me i'm going to tell you that the

59
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:26,400
closest there is

60
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,360
to airline flying uh and that's why i've

61
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:31,280
i've always liked to uh to fly in the

62
00:04:36,390 --> 00:04:33,520
solution because it reminds me of uh of

63
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:36,400
a time not so distant

64
00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:37,919
so colleague is specific

65
00:05:07,909 --> 00:04:39,840
dear colleagues thank you very much for

66
00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:11,189
so you see what it says here so here it

67
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:20,150
are you

68
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:27,270
peggy you have the hardest job

69
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:31,120
you're going to rest afterwards

70
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:39,590
this is the

71
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:45,430
so who is the station commander

72
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:53,029
how do you feel

73
00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,160
are you ready for uh the exam well our

74
00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:58,479
night was very restful we had been

75
00:06:03,350 --> 00:06:01,680
preparing uh prior to yesterday

76
00:06:07,029 --> 00:06:03,360
so we are um

77
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:07,039
ready and we're feeling well

78
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:08,720
so you're going to celebrate new year's

79
00:06:12,309 --> 00:06:11,520
aboard the station do we have presents

80
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,319
or

81
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:13,919
new year tree

82
00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:16,000
and what is so special about celebrating

83
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:18,479
new year's on the iss well celebration

84
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:20,720
is always a celebration we have a tree

85
00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,560
on board the station and the only thing

86
00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:24,479
is that all the decorations are very

87
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:26,400
safe and soft

88
00:06:33,749 --> 00:06:28,400
and we have presents well it is going to

89
00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:34,629
well

90
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:35,759
i know that

91
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,800
one of your hobbies is playing saxophone

92
00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:40,160
are you going to play for your crew

93
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:42,319
members well honestly i don't know i

94
00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:44,800
have been discussing this with isa

95
00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:46,560
i talked to them yesterday they told me

96
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:49,199
that they are doing their best

97
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:51,520
so it is not clear yet if it's going to

98
00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:54,880
be there but if it will be i uh will

99
00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:57,680
play for my crew members and it will be

100
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:58,639
great

101
00:07:02,950 --> 00:06:59,360
and

102
00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,960
how old is your saxophone

103
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:05,039
well currently

104
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:08,080
it is already in the

105
00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:10,160
u.s because it will be delivered on

106
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,199
station on the us cargo vehicle and uh i

107
00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:15,759
have been playing saxophone for

108
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,479
15 years and what music are you going to

109
00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:20,720
play what soon it is also going to be a

110
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:22,000
surprise

111
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:29,110
have you selected a mascot for your

112
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,000
expedition what do you mean by mascot

113
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:34,639
oh do you mean weightlessness indicator

114
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:37,520
it is almost ready at this point but

115
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:40,160
it is also secret

116
00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:49,110
do you think that you have we will have

117
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:52,560
difficult exam tasks or would you prefer

118
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,560
to work on certain of nominal situ

119
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,720
during your exam first of all we don't

120
00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:58,400
know what kind of questions we're going

121
00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:00,800
to get but we have already practiced all

122
00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,400
the abnormal situations that could

123
00:08:06,469 --> 00:08:04,879
possibly occur on the station we don't

124
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,479
have any questions and i think

125
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:08,400
everything will be fine

126
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:09,680
so uh

127
00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:11,759
the first impression of face of space

128
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:14,160
flight is the strongest one what are

129
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,639
your expectations at this point

130
00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:18,720
at least i would like to

131
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:28,629
well i'm looking forward to working with

132
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:30,720
my crewmates and

133
00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:33,120
joining shane and his crew onboard space

134
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:34,560
station i think

135
00:08:38,469 --> 00:08:36,640
it'll be interesting for me from my

136
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,479
previous flight it was only three crew

137
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,000
members

138
00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:43,039
least for the first half of the mission

139
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:45,279
and then five crew members after that

140
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,640
so i'm looking forward to that and of

141
00:08:49,750 --> 00:08:48,000
course we've got lots of exciting

142
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:49,760
science uh that we're going to be doing

143
00:08:53,829 --> 00:08:52,080
and i like being busy so i'm looking

144
00:09:21,829 --> 00:08:53,839
forward to doing all different kinds of

145
00:10:02,150 --> 00:09:56,389
a

146
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:02,160
good evening

147
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:04,399

and you're ready for the exams these are

149
00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:24,550
all the documents have been prepared for

150
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:30,870
you can't hear well

151
00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:34,000

i would like to ask you to pay attention

155
00:10:58,790 --> 00:10:57,910
do you feel nervous uh before your exams

156
00:10:59,750 --> 00:10:58,800
well

157
00:11:02,069 --> 00:10:59,760

the books and next time we will touch

162
00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:11,200
the books at the launch site because

163
00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:13,839
lately we have been working a lot with

164
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,880
onboard data files

165
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,000
and

166
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,560
do you have any superstitions before

167
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:22,720
taking exams uh for example college

168
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:24,560
students put coins in their shoes for

169
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:27,120
good luck well personally i don't have

170
00:11:31,829 --> 00:11:30,000

believe in prior to taking exams for

178
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:50,560
example college students put coins in

179
00:12:02,870 --> 00:11:51,760
