1
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:13,290
Yes good morning effort Wow I'm gonna

2
00:00:11,730 --> 00:00:15,420
start getting set up and get some

3
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:18,840
equipment out but uh we'll let you know

4
00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:20,939
we have any questions everything and

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,710
just a little quick thing as you're me

6
00:00:20,939 --> 00:00:25,500
harvesting both veggies approximately

7
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:27,930
half the leaves from each plant my role

8
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:30,420
during on over harvest is to park the

9
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:32,790
astronauts and helping them out and

10
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:35,579
think ahead for themselves and saving

11
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:37,350
that valuable crew time and we can help

12
00:00:35,579 --> 00:00:39,660
them guide them through the written

13
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:41,280
procedures and if there's any anomalies

14
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:44,910
that come up we can help them work

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:47,820
through that while during real-time ops

16
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:49,410
again you'll be weighing the leaves once

17
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:51,809
you cut them splitting the leaves up

18
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:53,760
between science and then consumption and

19
00:00:51,809 --> 00:00:55,800
then weighing the leaves that you're

20
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,660
gonna consume in MMD so there's plenty

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,789
of work for both of you to do they're

22
00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:01,649
following a procedure that we write for

23
00:00:59,789 --> 00:01:03,660
them to do the activity and it's maybe

24
00:01:01,649 --> 00:01:12,119
the first time they've seen that

25
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:12,810
procedure that's negative we weigh them

26
00:01:12,119 --> 00:01:15,060
on the ground

27
00:01:12,810 --> 00:01:17,400
but right now particularly for a vigil

28
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:19,170
for B we're planting the seeds here and

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,030
then packing them for flights then when

30
00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:22,650
the astronauts take out those pillows

31
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:24,600
from stowage and insert them into the

32
00:01:22,650 --> 00:01:29,939
veggie units just add water to it it'll

33
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,259
start growing copy all Dru thank you

34
00:01:29,939 --> 00:01:32,610
very much or look at them up hopefully

35
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:35,070
everything's going pretty well it looks

36
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:36,810
good it's a little bit slow get going

37
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:39,390
until about two weeks in and then at two

38
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:41,970
weeks it picks up growth and we just see

39
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:43,680
it burst to life and we take it all the

40
00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:46,140
way until about four weeks when we do

41
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,549
our first harvest and we cut it back to

42
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:49,320
where we have just these small leaves

43
00:01:47,549 --> 00:01:51,090
left and then it starts all over where

44
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,060
it continues to pick up growth and we

45
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:55,430
take that to our next harvest

46
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:58,610
going into digit walk back in being way

47
00:01:55,430 --> 00:02:01,909
to that correct half of them will go

48
00:01:58,610 --> 00:02:05,509
into the foil and then half of them will

49
00:02:01,909 --> 00:02:07,070
go into the ziploc she may need to cut

50
00:02:05,509 --> 00:02:08,539
off a couple more on that number six

51
00:02:07,070 --> 00:02:11,420
there's a there's a larger right leave

52
00:02:08,539 --> 00:02:13,550
it's like coming right for us yeah she's

53
00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:16,660
not she's okay to cut off the

54
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:16,660
medium-sized ones as well

55
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,270
number five I just I don't want her to

56
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:26,730
get so far that then she can't get

57
00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:30,330
samples put back where they need to go

58
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:32,070
in generic containers so the astronauts

59
00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:33,930
will come in and for a cut and come

60
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:35,910
again harvest they will take off the

61
00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:37,860
majority of our leaves they'll leave

62
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:39,840
behind just the smallest youngest leaves

63
00:02:37,860 --> 00:02:41,730
to continue growing until we come back

64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,170
in a couple of weeks to do our next cut

65
00:02:41,730 --> 00:02:45,180
and coming in harvest these so we're

66
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:47,070
looking at how our different nutrients

67
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:49,020
varying across these late treatments

68
00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:51,240
because the longer we go through space

69
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:53,160
the more we're really concentrating on

70
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,470
providing high nutrient crops to our

71
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,080
astronauts and they're gonna call down

72
00:02:55,470 --> 00:02:59,070
weights from the MMD measurements so

73
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,650
they're gonna call down three light

74
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:03,030
weights for each plant male plants yes

75
00:03:01,650 --> 00:03:05,730
so we're you know compare notes to make

76
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:08,070
sure we've heard everything there okay

77
00:03:05,730 --> 00:03:09,510
and then the other half of the crops

78
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:12,000
that they've been harvesting from each

79
00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:13,440
pillow they will sanitize on-orbit they

80
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,180
weigh them in the mass measurement

81
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,340
device so we actually can find out how

82
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:19,590
much those leaves weigh in microgravity

83
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:21,720
which is a new wonderful tool that we

84
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:23,430
have then put these plant samples inside

85
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,170
a little ziploc bag and then the

86
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:26,730
astronauts will then consume those

87
00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:28,410
leaves as part of a taste test and if

88
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:29,840
they have any left over they can have it

89
00:03:28,410 --> 00:03:32,070
with dinner

90
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,770
Kabhi thumbs up and the plants look

91
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:36,600
great Jessica good job this year our

92
00:03:34,770 --> 00:03:39,450
final harvest four bedroom four B is on

93
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,860
Thanksgiving so the astronauts will be

94
00:03:39,450 --> 00:03:42,720
enjoying the food they're away from

95
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:44,670
their families we'll be in here

96
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,459
supporting them away from our families

97
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:51,000
so it's a it's a little bit of a if you

98
00:03:47,459 --> 00:03:53,430
will a NASA space family having you know

99
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,020
harvesting a part of their meal together

100
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:58,920
they look really good

101
00:03:56,020 --> 00:03:58,920
this is the best one we've had

102
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,020
you
