you too welcome to the international

7
00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:35,280
space station flight controller room

8
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:37,920
yeah and so uh senator ted cruz this is

9
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:39,680

control of the flight control team

13
00:00:49,029 --> 00:00:46,800
all the operators here at the different

14
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:49,039
consoles are receiving telemetry data

15
00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:50,960
from the international space station are

16
00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,719
able to commands up to the international

17
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:54,719
space station the building itself has

18
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:57,280
the ability to support space station our

19
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:59,280
exploration program down the hall our

20
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,800
commercial partners and then is

21
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:02,879
strategically designed for

22
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:04,640
any programs that we want to do in the

23
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:06,080
future and so

24
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:08,000
these guys are super excited you can see

25
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:09,840
up on our screens if we kind of start on

26
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:12,000
the left hand side we've got what we

27
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:13,760
call the on the bottom left our six-pack

28
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,799
because there's six screens um we've got

29
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:18,560
dragon up on the left-hand side

30
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:19,759
obviously our crew in the middle we have

31
00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:22,640
three crew members on orbit today uh

32
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:24,799
peggy whitson of course most folks are

33
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:26,880
familiar with her she holds the american

34
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:29,280
record from out of diamond's face

35
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:31,200
um jack fisher um this is he's a

36
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:33,040
first-time flyer on the left and then

37
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:34,880
fyodor your chicken you can actually see

38
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:36,799
a live shot of them moving to the right

39
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:39,280
and that's the us lab and they

40
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,479
stayed up a little late from the

41
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:42,560
perspective of their day just so you

42
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,079
guys could see um what they do on orbit

43
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:48,000
uh we've also got obviously i mentioned

44
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:49,360
command and control hub we have all of

45
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:51,520
our international partners so up across

46
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:53,600
the top um we've got the marshall space

47
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:56,000
flight center far up on the left um next

48
00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:57,920
to them one of our commercial partners

49
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,520
that's the spacex control room in

50
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:01,759
hawthorne california and if you go all

51
00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:03,280
the way across to the right on the top

52
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:05,119
that's actually the jackson control room

53
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,719
obviously it's really

54
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,640
late in jacks or early depending on how

55
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,319
you look at it you can see one of their

56
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:12,560
folks in there watching over the data

57
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:14,959
for jaxa on the screen down here we've

58
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:17,840
got a shot into the dragon um so we

59
00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:19,280
birthed the dragon just earlier this

60
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:22,640
week early monday morning so crs11 you

61
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:23,920
guys know that's maybe the first

62
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:27,120
reflight of a dragon and so that's an

63
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:29,920
exciting thing for us we also have

64
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:32,319
oa7 so that's an orbital vehicle

65
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:33,840
that's still on orbit it's left the

66
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:35,920
space station but it will be re-entering

67
00:02:40,710 --> 00:02:38,080
it's currently doing some scientific

68
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,720
experiments so there's a lot going on

69
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:42,480
and i've talked a lot so i will pause

70
00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:44,000
and see if you have any questions that's

71
00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,800
great so what what is uh what clock are

72
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:48,959
they on if this is late

73
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:51,519
for them yeah so they do gmt greenwich

74
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:54,560
mean time um and so you can tell about

75
00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,560
three in the afternoon local is kind of

76
00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:58,319
when their day winds down which is

77
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,920
almost now um and so our gmt clocks

78
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:03,519
actually if you go over here

79
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,720
up at the top top kind of right left in

80
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:08,239
the middle and then you get gmt and then

81
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,440
crew sleep is right below that so an

82
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:11,120
hour and 54 minutes they go to sleep so

83
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,640
this is kind of the time again we

84
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:14,720
normally turn off cameras um but we left

85
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:17,680
them on just for you guys today

86
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:19,760
but you'll in mission control this man

87
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:23,120
24 7. absolutely sir and so

88
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:25,280
yes it's the job of the flight directors

89
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:26,720
we have a team of flight directors and a

90
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:28,080
team of controllers at the different

91
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:30,959
consoles we do flex the consoles

92
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:33,120
depending on time of day and activities

93
00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,560
for example if you do an eva you have

94
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,799
folks in here that are responsible for

95
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:38,159
you know the spacesuits and the

96
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:40,319
spacewalk we don't do that every day so

97
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,840
we do change it a little bit in terms of

98
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,760
the actual numbers i'm trying to be

99
00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:45,360
efficient with our support

100
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:48,480
how many evas will you have astronauts

101
00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:52,640
do in the course of a week or a month so

102
00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:54,480
we don't do them typically every week or

103
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,159
every month we tend to think in about a

104
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,319
year so last year there was on the order

105
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:00,799
of about six if i remember correctly

106
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:02,319
when we were assembling the space

107
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,720
station um we did them during shuttle

108
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:06,560
missions and you would have sort of a

109
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:07,760
collection as you were putting the

110
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:10,879
pieces together now a lot of what we do

111
00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:12,480
centers around preparing the space

112
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:14,239
station and the ports for the next

113
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,920
generation of vehicles the commercial

114
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:17,919
vehicles and uh

115
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:19,759
government vehicles yeah

116
00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,360
great you guys have questions

117
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:25,600

and we want to give you a little a

168
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:04,400
reminder of

169
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:06,960
the americans uh working in space every

170
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:08,560
day so as you know we got three up there

171
00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:09,599
today in fact

172
00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:11,759
we just had two return last week

173
00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,280
we hope in the end of july to have three

174
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:15,599
more astronauts go up and live and work

175
00:08:18,629 --> 00:08:17,280
on the space station so we'd like to

176
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:18,639
have you

177
00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:20,160
give this to you a model of the

178
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:21,919
international space station

179
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:23,360
i don't know if someone's told you

180
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:25,520
exactly how big it is but it's about the

181
00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,280
size of a football field so from goal

182
00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:29,199
post to goal post and from sideline to

183
00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:31,199
sideline weighs close to a million

184
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:34,800
pounds and travels 17 500 miles an hour

185
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:35,680
so

186
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,320
it's a it's a big vehicle and and

187
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:40,000
